Chapter 605 Civil strife in the Japanese Army?
Qin Wei naturally could not have the skill of predicting things like a god, because that kind of thing only comes from folk stories and legends. Even so, only three or five people in China have been labeled with such magical powers for thousands of years, so it is naturally impossible for him, Qin, to be here. He just got the news from Gu Changjun. In fact, when he received this news, he was also shocked by Ishihara Kanir's appetite. But then again, when he was just a middle-level officer, the guy dared to plan the "September 18th" incident. He is now the top figure in the Japanese Army. He has just been put on by Hideki Tojo and others. If he doesn't take the opportunity to ask for power and play with a big shot, would he be embarrassed to call Ishihara Kanir?
In fact, Ishihara Kanir did not disappoint Qin Wei. After learning that Hideki Tojo and others wanted him to take action, the old man said he was sick at home, and even Hirohito's special envoy was blocked outside the door. After that, Kenji Doihara and others came to the door several times and told him about the difficult situation facing Japan, he reluctantly agreed to come out. But the conditions he proposed were even higher than Qin Wei expected: he wanted command of all foreign military operations in Japan. In other words, the Tokyo Base Camp was no longer taken seriously by him. Not only did he have to settle old accounts with Hideki Tojo and others, but he also directly undermined the entire Japanese navy and army system.
This is certainly impossible.
Not to mention Hideki Tojo, even Emperor Hirohito and the Japanese cabinet would not do it. In addition, the Navy would never agree to be a guy from the army to command himself, even if they knew that this person was not bad. For this reason, the Japanese Navy Commander-in-Chief, Yamamoto Ioruku, who was originally dedicated to cooperating with the army and admired Ishihara Kanir, also expressed serious dissatisfaction with Ishihara Kanir.
In the end, in "helplessness", Ishihara Kanir obtained the highest command of the China War Theater and Southeast Asian War Theater.
The first thing this guy did was to remove Suichi Deanuchi. Then he promoted his old friend Seishiro Sakagaki. Then, he issued an order to the Chinese Expeditionary Army Command in Nanjing to withdraw troops from Shanxi and Wuhan... As soon as this order was issued, it immediately caused an uproar in the whole of China. Most of the Chinese were happy because everyone thought it was a sign that the Japanese could not hold on and began to retreat. Most of the Japanese were worried and angry, especially the commander-in-chief of the Chinese Expeditionary Army, Hata Shinrok, who firmly resisted Ishihara Kanir's order. He even made a request to remove Ishihara Kanir in Tokyo and then handed him over to the military court for trial because he suspected Ishihara Kanir was a spy of the Chinese. As a result, this request actually received support from many Japanese soldiers, especially the young and strong soldiers. But the result of this fight was
Hata Shunrok was extremely powerfully removed from his post by Ishihara Kanir, and the one who replaced him was Suichi Teruchi, who had just been driven from the position of commander-in-chief of the Southern Army.
Unfortunately, Soichi Tezuka was defeated. Although he was very strong when he dealt with the British and Americans before, and the autumn wind swept away the fallen leaves, he lost two consecutive games in Myanmar and became the target of despised by Japanese soldiers. Therefore, when he arrived in Nanjing, almost no one came to greet him. Hata Shunrok refused to hand over military command and left him outside Nanjing.
Japan seems to show signs of civil unrest.
But the result of the next shocked everyone: Tokyo sent a special envoy to force Shinro Hata and escorted it back to Japan. Later, Suichi Teraunuchi successfully took over the power of the Chinese Expeditionary Army Headquarters, and then ordered Yoshio Shinozuka and Anan Weiji to withdraw troops from Shanxi and Wuhan.
Not long after that, news came from Tokyo: Japanese local young and strong officers attacked Ishihara Kanir's residence and tried to assassinate, but were avoided by Ishihara Kanir who was prepared. Not only that, these young and strong officers were also caught by the ambushed military police force. The two sides once fought fiercely in front of Ishihara Kanir's residence, and each other suffered casualties!
*********************************************************************************
"What kind of Akido is this? This shouldn't be Ishihara Kan'er's level..."
Compared to the almost collective anger of the Japanese, the excitement and gloating of ordinary Chinese people, the top leaders of the National Government were worried. Yes, under the order of Soichi Tetsunaga, Yoshio Shinozuka's North China Front Army and Anan Weiji's 11th Army did start to withdraw troops, but they did not retreat in defeat. On the contrary, this retreat would be more conducive to the Japanese strategy. For example, the Japanese troops in Shanxi retreated into Hebei, Henan, which allowed them to defend the Taihang Mountains and block the heavy troops west of the Taihang Mountains more easily. At the same time, it also allowed the North China Front Army, which was originally extremely tight, to gain greater marching space, stabilize control over Hebei, Henan and other places, and to draw more troops to encircle and suppress guerrillas and enemy rear warriors.
Ananwei will lead the 11th Army to retreat east from Hubei, which also doubled the pressure of the Kuomintang's fifth and third war zones. Although in this way they can also get more support from the National Government, the problem is that no matter how much support they receive, they basically dare not attack the enemy. After all, not everyone is like Qin Wei, who fights and wins, and that means they can only passively wait for possible attacks by the Japanese, which makes the nerves of the entire war zone in a state of mental tension for a long time. In this way, the consumption of the war zone will inevitably increase, and morale will be greatly affected. If such a long period of stalemate continues, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers will be gradually dragged down...
But these are actually nothing. Everyone knows that Japan's real goal will only be Southeast Asia, because they can get few things in the Chinese theater. If they blindly get involved with the Chinese team in China, they will only consume their already small resources step by step, thus gradually falling into the dilemma of losing.
But Ishihara Kanir should not have stirred up internal strife within the Japanese Army so violently. This is exactly what many people find unable to understand.
"Can this guy want to make something fog and then launch a counterattack while we are unprepared?"
Chongqing has had many celebrations recently. After all, the Japanese have begun to retreat, and it is a strategic retreat. The people of the whole country are extremely happy and even excited. In this case, as the top leaders of the country, it is absolutely impossible to pour cold water on them. As a war star, He Yingqin, Qin Wei and others can only accompany Jiang Jiang to appear on various occasions, accept everyone's cheers, and then, while laughing, they whispered to discuss the possible trends of Ishihara Kaner.
"We are tired of playing this trick. Do you think Ishihara Kaner will do it again so uncreatively?" He Yingqin's low speculation, Qin Wei rolled his eyes secretly.
"What creative is not creative? If you kill a chicken, as long as you can kill it, it's all!" He Yingqin snorted lightly, "Ishihara Kaner defeated Temuxin Ge and seized most of Siberia for the Japanese. Don't underestimate them."
"I never underestimate that guy." Qin Wei said, "and he didn't just help Japan seize most of Siberia. Now Japan's attack on Australia is his work. By the way, have you heard that? Many Philippine troops have been dragged to the Australian front by the Japanese, and their combat effectiveness seems to be quite weak."
"Is this happening?" He Yingqin was stunned, "Didn't they collapse at the touch?"
"There is a Japanese supervising team behind him. You dare to take a step back and serve the machine gun! In this case, do you think the Filipinos are fighting their former bosses or fighting the Japanese?" Qin Wei said with a smile.
"No, this trick is easy to use. You can try it if you have the chance in the future." He Yingqin smiled.
"There will be a chance." Qin Wei glanced at him, "And as long as you want, I promise you can 'play' and have fun!"
"Don't talk about these first, let's talk about Ishihara Kanir... That guy asked Shouyi Seonuchi to retreat on a large scale, and did not draw troops from China to Southeast Asia. What kind of Mingtang he wants to build? You have no news?" He Yingqin naturally didn't know that he had been "attacked" by Qin Wei and would pay a lot for this time. He only knew that the current situation was a bit tricky. If he couldn't handle it well and accidentally suffered a defeat, then today's scenery may turn into tomorrow's sorrow... Just look at Shouyi Seonuchi's scene. Who still remembers his achievements in sweeping the Philippines and Malaya now?
"I want to say that Ishihara Kanir just wants to change the strategic intentions of Hideki Tojo's men while he was in power! No matter what, China is their biggest enemy at present. Only by stabilizing the situation in China can they conquer the four sides at will. Otherwise, once we get angry, can they fight in other places? If they are cut off, they will have nowhere to cry." Qin Wei said.
"You have too much confidence. Your family knows their own affairs, and Ishihara Kaner is also a Chinese expert. He should know how strong our strength is. In addition to the Expeditionary Force, how many people can take the initiative to counterattack in major war zones across the country? That is, Fu Zuoyi can also bully the Mongolian garrison troops who bully them. The others are all but useless. Well, some may not even be considered as being considered. In this case, is it necessary for him to take the initiative to retreat?" He Yingqin said.
"I have too much confidence, you have not enough confidence, Ishihara Kaner is just a precaution..." Qin Wei licked his lips, "But no matter what he was thinking, I found that he had ignored an important factor."
"What?" He Yingqin asked anxiously.
"That... Zhou Fohai is doing well in Qinghai now, right? Ask the Chairman, do you want to promote him?" Qin Wei grinned and smiled. (To be continued...)
