Chapter 983 Extremely Anxious

In fact, when they were in a carefree state, Fujita Susumu and Tian Yuanlixiong were very uncertain and nervous.

Also, despite such a big incident, the Third Division, as the No. 1 and No. 2 commanders, did not receive any blame.

This kind of thing, inside and out, reveals extreme weirdness.

In other words, these two big devils think that not being dealt with is only temporary!

In their impression, Matsui Iwane is not a good guy.

Having been in the military for most of their lives, Fujita Susumu and Tian Yuanlixiong know the ins and outs of this.

A general's success is the result of the sacrifice of thousands of soldiers!

They all understand this truth.

In fact, it is not possible to get to the position of general by simply stepping on the corpses of the enemy.

A soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier.

In the island country, the lowest level of general is the major general.

Under normal circumstances, a major general can manage a brigade, that is, serve as the brigade commander.

And a brigade, in addition to having two directly affiliated infantry regiments, also has many affiliated directly affiliated units.

An infantry regiment has 3,800 soldiers.

Adding up all the scattered information, the strength of a brigade is rarely less than 10,000.

Obviously, most of these 10,000 people have the dream of becoming a general.

Therefore, it is inevitable that various things like internal fighting or palace fighting will occur.

In other words, if you want to become a general, you must fight your way out of the siege in various intrigues.

And this kind of intrigue is mostly accompanied by assassinations.

In a word, if you want to become a general, in addition to leading troops to fight, you must also learn to be ruthless to your competitors.

Otherwise, don't even think about the dream of becoming a general.

Of course, the old devils who feel hopeless about promotion will give up their dream of becoming a general.

This kind of people have basically no influence on their comrades, so they have good popularity.

Most of them serve as squadron leaders or even battalion leaders.

In addition, there are also various idle positions in various logistics departments.

After understanding this, Fujita Susumu and Tanen Rikuma were very unconfident during the intervals of their affair with the telegraph operator.

In other words, they were very afraid that Matsui Iwane was playing tricks on them.

They seriously suspected that in the near future, this big board from Matsui Iwane would definitely hit them hard on the head.

In fact, Fujita Susumu and Tanen Rikuma were really overthinking it so much.

In fact, now Matsui Iwane has encountered troubles.

Matsui Iwane had already retired, but he did not expect that he would be summoned by the headquarters again in his twilight years.

Of course, there was a reason why the headquarters summoned Matsui Iwane and appointed him as the general commander of the Shanghai Expeditionary Force.

Now, the full-scale war of resistance has begun and is intensifying.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Battle of Songhu has entered its end.

Waiting for the Shanghai Expeditionary Force and the Tenth Army to consolidate this occupied area, the island country will start a new war again in the next step.

The first step is to completely eliminate the only remaining naval force of China, that is, to launch the Jiangyin naval battle.

Jiangyin has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times, and it is also the headquarters of the Chinese Navy.

The island country wants to completely and comprehensively occupy China, so there is no reason to let this place go.

The most important thing is that by occupying this strategic location, the island country can also greatly hit the military and public morale of China.

In this way, maybe there is no need to fight the Battle of Nanjing again, and China will surrender.

Of course, relying on the understanding of the Chinese government army, the island country believes that it is very difficult to make them surrender.

For this reason, the attack on Nanjing City has long been written into the war report by the big devils.

The most important thing is that the big devils are still studying how to attack the capital of China all day long.

There is no doubt that in Nanjing, in order to deal with the invasion of hundreds of thousands of island troops, the Chinese government army will definitely fight hard.

At this time, talents like Matsui Iwane are very needed.

Compared with other devil generals, Matsui Iwane's philosophy is very special.

On the basis of maintaining extraordinary bravery, Matsui Iwane has a lot of experience in how to organize offensive battles.

The most important thing is that Matsui Iwane can reduce his own casualties as much as possible.

Otherwise, the island country is not a young general, and it is impossible to activate Matsui Iwane.

On the other hand, after being summoned by the base camp and entrusted with an important task, Matsui Iwane has been in an extremely excited mode.

In fact, the island country has coveted the rich and vast China for many years.

Generation after generation of Japanese generals have a biggest dream.

It is very simple, that is to lead the troops to attack the capital of China, so as to leave a name in history and be worshipped by all islanders forever.

It must be said that as a veteran general, Matsui Iwane has a very strong network of contacts in various units of the base camp.

What makes Matsui Iwane depressed is that just when he worked hard and made a grand plan, he suddenly learned that someone jumped out and wanted to steal his food.

The point is that this person is not just trying to steal food.

His purpose is very simple, that is to take away the pot!

In other words, this person came to Shanghai to send troops, not only to eat meat, but also not to leave soup for him.

If this person is an ordinary general, Matsui Iwane would not mind having a good chat with him.

Unfortunately, this person has a very special status.

This person is none other than the Emperor's uncle, Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko!

In other words, seeing that the military progress of the island country was very smooth, Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko had some plans in his mind.

To be precise, Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko's purpose was to come to China to pick peaches.

In the Battle of Songhu, although China achieved a strategic victory, that is, it successfully opened up a second battlefield, thus successfully avoiding the tragedy of the rapid destruction of the Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty.

However, after the Battle of Songhu, most of China's elite troops suffered heavy losses.

It can be foreseen that it will be difficult for these defeated generals to hold on to Nanjing City.

In other words, if nothing unexpected happens, the island country will easily occupy the capital of China.

At this time, even if the Shanghai Expeditionary Force and the Tenth Army replaced their top leaders on the battlefield, it would not affect the overall situation.

In fact, in the plan of the island country's headquarters, there was already a plan to merge the two armies.

The two armies joined forces to form the Central China Front Army.

And the veteran Matsui Iwane will be promoted to the commander-in-chief of the Central China Front Army without any controversy.

However, relying on the crushing advantage of status, Prince Higashikuni Yasuhiko wants to replace him.

According to Matsui Iwane, Prince Higashikuni Yasuhiko's efforts will soon be harvested.

Unwilling to be picked by Prince Higashikuni Yasuhiko, Matsui Iwane has been working hard.
