Chapter 839 My man is still so outstanding
Is there anyone who doesn’t feel ashamed?
Okamura Neiji was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Indeed, if anyone is still happy right now, it must be the Navy."
"Yes, the Army has lost face so badly, they are naturally happy. If I'm not mistaken, they are already celebrating now."
The corners of Okamura Neiji's mouth twitched, and then he sat down in the chair without saying a word and opened the documents.
The glory of the Imperial Guards Division will never exist again with this defeat.
Imperial Guards Division Headquarters.
Hashimoto stared blankly at a colonel staff officer coming from the military headquarters.
He knew that he would not be able to escape punishment this time, but he did not expect that the military would ask him to commit seppuku to apologize.
"General, this is the will of the headquarters and also the will of His Majesty. Because of you, the entire army has been ridiculed by the navy. Because you disobeyed General Anan's command, the Imperial Guard Division lost one-third of its troops and a large amount of supplies. For the sake of the Imperial Guard Division's limited reputation and to be able to give an explanation to His Majesty and the headquarters, please don't make things difficult for me."
After the colonel finished speaking, he motioned to the soldier next to him to hand over a plate. On the plate was a small command knife, which was the command knife he was asked to use to commit suicide.
"No one has failed. I am dissatisfied and I will appeal to the headquarters."
He just failed in one battle, but his superiors wanted to kill him. If that was the case, then when Mei Jingmeizhilang's Second Army withdrew from Xi'an and the Sixth Division suffered several attacks from the enemy, should the division commander also bear the responsibility for their failure?
Why should I take my life just because I failed once?
"General, the other divisions are just ordinary divisions. It's normal for ordinary divisions to fail. But you are the Imperial Guards Division. You don't need to do anything. You just need to wait quietly for the troops to be transferred back to the mainland. Then you still have supreme glory. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for being too ambitious. You have to perform under such circumstances. General Anan repeatedly ordered you to order the troops to withdraw, but what did you do?"
How dare you complain here?
Hashimoto opened his mouth to rob her, but no words came out.
He did receive a telegram from the 11th Army asking him to evacuate his troops quickly, but how could he evacuate at that time? Once he evacuated, the Guards Division would still lose face. Therefore, he ordered not to respond to the telegram from the military and finally shut down the radio station.
Originally, he thought this battle would be over soon.
As it turned out, the battle ended quickly, but I was the one who failed.
"General, the Imperial Guards Division's reputation is simply due to its stationing in Tokyo. You've never actually participated in a real battle. General Anan commands hundreds of thousands of troops from the 11th Army. He must be aware of the enemy's combat effectiveness. Similarly, he also knows the combat effectiveness of the Independent Brigade."
At this point, the colonel paused for a moment and said, "You yourselves destroyed our last remaining retreat, so General, you are not wronged. Right now, the Imperial Army's morale is low, while the Navy is celebrating our defeat, both for the reputation of the Imperial Guards Division and for the Army's dignity. So, General, please don't embarrass us."
Hashimoto had nothing to say. He took the samurai sword and held it in his hand.
The command knife, which is usually very delicate, now feels as heavy as a thousand pounds.
He knew that this time, he couldn't hide at all. Instead of shrinking here, he might as well face it calmly. At least, he could leave with a little dignity. As for the rest, he didn't dare to think about it.
After all, this incident was caused by himself, and he should bear the responsibility.
At the Independent Brigade Headquarters, Zhou Weiguo had just finished lunch when Minamizō Akiko approached him with a telegram. "News has come from the Second Division that the Imperial Guards Division Commander Hashimoto has committed suicide at the headquarters."
"It's as expected." Zhou Weiguo opened a can without even glancing at the message, took a big bite, and leaned back in his chair. "From the day his Guards Division was released, I knew this would be his fate."
"Who can we blame? If he wasn't so ambitious, nothing would have happened. We should blame him. He didn't have the ability to instigate things, so why did he have to? Hashimoto's death was not unjust at all."
Sano Tadayoshi snorted coldly and leaned against the doorway. "And this time, the impact of his failure is enormous. After all, as the face of the army, he lost more than two regiments in a single battle. If Hashimoto doesn't take the blame, who will? Headquarters can let Anami Korechika bear it."
That is absolutely impossible.
Not to mention, Anami Korechika had already prepared all the evidence. It was not that he was an incompetent general, but that the Imperial Guards Division simply did not listen to him. He was powerless and had no way out.
"Never mind them. This is their own business no matter how you look at it. It has nothing to do with us."
Zhou Weiguo put the can aside and looked up at the distant sky. "It's been so long. I guess Dönitz and his fleet are almost reaching Canada."
I really want to see, with Watsonton's calculations, when they get the fleet from Berlin and enter Canada like a divine soldier, whether they can still stay at that time.
And will the Japanese headquarters launch another fierce attack on the mountain city according to the original plan?
I'm afraid they won't do that.
As for Roosevelt's thought of waiting for the Japanese army to advance and get a share of the spoils, that was just wishful thinking on his part. However, this time, it might not be so easy for him to make peace with Yamashiro as he wanted.
This matter will not be over unless he bleeds heavily once.
He believed that Xiuling, who was already there, would give Shancheng and himself a satisfactory answer.
A drizzle fell in the mountain town. The steps on the street had long since been washed clean by the rain. Asaka Hiderei, holding an umbrella, stood quietly on one of the steps, gazing at the river in the distance.
She was wearing a lieutenant colonel's uniform and stopped for a long time, her eyes falling on the newsboy not far away.
"News, my 9th War Zone Independent Brigade fought a bloody battle against the elite Japanese Imperial Guards Division and killed the enemy general Tanaka Uichi."
"Give me one."
"I'll have one too."
……
The Independent Brigade, what earth-shattering achievements have they made since I left? Chao Xiang Xiuling stuffed a candy into her mouth, then turned her head to look at the secretary that Fatty Kong had given her. "Go buy one and show it to me."
The secretary immediately went to buy a newspaper. Looking at the photo printed on the front page, Chao Xiang Xiuling smiled and said to the secretary beside her, "See, my man is still so outstanding."
