Glorious Mission 1937

Beiping. North China Front Army Command.

Today, the entire headquarters is decorated with lights and festoons, and a large banquet hall in the headquarters has been newly decorated. All officers above the level of major general and regiment commander of the garrison near Peiping have received orders from the headquarters, requiring them to do so if they have no special important matters. Attending the celebration banquet tonight, as for why the celebration banquet is being held, it is not clear who the protagonist of the celebration banquet is, who is the headquarters.

Since it was a celebration banquet in a small area, there were not so many rules. All the participants sat casually on the chairs in the banquet hall, waiting for the protagonist to appear.

"Kawagishi-kun, has the front army made any big moves recently?" Lieutenant General Suematsu Mocha, the commander of the 114th Division, asked casually.

"It doesn't seem to be. Anyway, our First Army has no major operations. Although there are frequent frictions between the Western Front and the Second China War Zone, they are all controlled at the squadron level and have not expanded. This celebration banquet should not be for us. The first army." Lieutenant General Fumisaburo Kawagishi, head of the 0th Division, replied.

Lieutenant General Jiujin Matsudaira, the head of the 21st Division, said in surprise: "This is strange. During this period of time, our 12th Army has not launched military operations above the brigade level. Why did the Front Army Command suddenly hold a celebration banquet?" , and also appointed officers above the brigade commander and above to participate.”

"It's really strange. We have attended the celebration banquets in the past, but we all knew in advance that it was for the lucky one. This time, they all became dowry girls. It is a mystery which serious bride is!" Lieutenant General Shigeru Suematsu, head of the 114th Division, said with a smile.

"Have you noticed that this celebration banquet is apart from us generals. It seems that there are no other people, no geisha, no reporters, and there don't even seem to be many waiters. I have not participated in such a weird event after joining the army for so many years. Celebration banquet!" The one who spoke this time was Lieutenant General Heitaro Kimura, commander of the 32nd Division.

At this moment, the door of the banquet hall was pushed open by two guards, and a second lieutenant walked in and shouted to all the officers in the banquet hall: "Your Excellency, Commander!"

"Wow!" All the officers in the banquet hall quickly stood up, bowed their heads and put their legs together to show their respect!

"Clap clap clap!"

General Binshanyuan walked in step by step, and came to the rostrum directly in front of the banquet hall. After standing still, General Binshanyuan first bowed deeply to the portrait of Emperor Hirohito hanging on the wall.Then he got up and looked around at the generals in the banquet hall.

"Do you think it's strange, gentlemen? Where did this celebration banquet come from, and who held it?"

Seeing that no one spoke, General Binshan Yuan continued to smile and said: "Since everyone is curious, let's invite our protagonist today. Yamamoto and Koga, you can play now!"

General Bin Shanyuan's voice just fell.The door of the banquet hall was pushed open again.Two Japanese officers strode in.

All the Japanese generals in the banquet hall were shocked at the same time. They turned out to be two chiefs. Could it be that today's celebration banquet was prepared for these two chiefs?

No wonder these generals were surprised.Although the scale of the celebration banquet was not very large, the number of participants was not large, and there were no reporters covering the whole process.But looking at these people who came here, they knew that the level of the celebration banquet was not low. Letting the major general and lieutenant general of the Imperial Army be the green leaf, it can be seen that the headquarters attaches great importance to this celebration banquet!

"Let me introduce to you, Kazuki Yamamoto, a high-achieving student at the Imperial Army University. In Showa 8, he went to Germany's Munich Military Academy to study special operations. He returned to China in Showa 12. He has been in charge of the formation and training of special forces in China. Not long ago, I Personally called His Royal Highness Prince Kanin Miyazaihito to transfer Colonel Yamamoto to our North China Front Army. Colonel Koga Chiyoko graduated from the Imperial Army University. He went to Germany to study at the Berlin Military Academy in Showa 10. China participated in the war, and served as the chief of the Shaozuo Office of the Shanghai Expeditionary Army. Three months ago, he was transferred to our Northern China Front Army, and he is currently the Chief of the Intelligence Department of the Northern China Front Army, responsible for intelligence collection and analysis and other related matters.”

Bin Shanyuan looked at the generals below, and continued: "Masters must really want to know why the front army held this celebration banquet. Since it is a celebration banquet, it must be meritorious. Now read out a battle report for everyone. On March 14, Showa 3, with the cooperation of General Koga's intelligence squadron, Yamamoto's three special operations squadrons successfully destroyed the Wanquan garrison regiment, Yangyuan garrison regiment, The headquarters of the security garrison killed more than 7 officers below Lieutenant Colonel Yang Haitao and Hu Daming of the Chinese Army, and more than 3 officers below Lieutenant Colonel Yunjian of the Chinese Army were injured, and more than 30 ordinary soldiers were killed or injured. The garrison regiment, the Yangyuan garrison regiment, and the Huai'an garrison regiment have lost their combat effectiveness. This is the first time that the front army has won a decisive victory in the battle with the eighth theater of China. Everyone applauds and congratulates!"

The generals did not expect that two inconspicuous army chiefs would make such great achievements quietly. Although they only killed two Chinese lieutenant colonels, in previous battles, let alone a mere army lieutenant colonel, even The lieutenant general is not unkilled.Only those recorded in the Imperial Army's war merit book are General Tong Linge, Deputy Commander of the 29th Route Army of China, General Zhao Dengyu, Commander of the 132nd Division of China, General Hao Mengling, Commander of the 9th Army of China, and Lieutenant General Liu Jiaqi, Commander of the 54th Division of China More than 50 Chinese generals including others.To be honest, the two small army lieutenant colonels in China are really not worth mentioning, and there is no need to spend a lot of time to hold a special celebration banquet.

But once everything involves the Eighth Theater of China, which China Devil General is involved, everything changes.Since the start of the war, the Imperial Japanese Army has been invincible, and all Chinese forces who dared to resist were ruthlessly crushed.But such a smooth advance only lasted for just three months. Ever since that hateful General China was born, everything has changed. In less than two years, the imperial army was lost in the hands of that hateful General China. There are as many as 20 generals in the army and navy, no less than ten serial numbers have been erased from the battle order of the imperial army, and one military-level serial number has been cancelled. .

Even so, the imperial army not only failed to annihilate that Chinese general and his army, but made it stronger and stronger, and now it is now stable enough to confront a strategic group of the empire, even if it is controlled by the Northern China Front Army. The 9 army divisions and multiple independent mixed brigades, artillery brigades, tank regiments and other heavy troops could not take advantage of an all-out war.

What shames the Imperial Japanese Army the most is that they have not killed a single general during the two years of fighting, and there are very few school officers. The 4 martyrs cemetery are Xinghe Nannaobao Martyrs Cemetery, Zhangjiakou Xuanpingbao Martyrs Cemetery, Datong Gushan Martyrs Cemetery, Guisui Daqingshan Martyrs Cemetery.A total of more than 2 Chinese soldiers moved into these four martyrs' cemeteries in the past two years, but there were only 32 school-level officers, including 28 majors, 3 lieutenant colonels, and [-] colonel.Only one of these school-level officers had served as a regimental-level military and political officer, and only one of them committed suicide, which had nothing to do with the might and strength of the imperial army.

Because of this, being able to kill the two lieutenant colonel commanders and dozens of officers of Chen Feng's headquarters in China is indeed no small feat.Coupled with the fact that the Japanese army in North China suffered major setbacks during this period, such a victory is even more precious.

Bin Shanyuan was very satisfied with the astonishing reaction of the generals below, he cleared his throat and continued: "Now I will read out the award order from the base camp: The Northern China Army Commander Yamamoto Kazuki and Koga Chiyoko have made meritorious service in combat, and after the base camp decides, Kazuki Yamamoto was promoted to Major General of the Imperial Japanese Army. Kazuki Yamamoto and Chiyoko Koga were awarded a small ribbon of Ruibao. Please applaud and congratulate them!"

The following group of generals envied and hated it, it turned out to be the Ruibao Small Ribbon, which is not a low-level medal, and all the officers secretly thought that these two guys are really lucky.

"It is now announced that the front army has appointed Major General Yamamoto and Koga Koga. Major General Yamamoto will be appointed as the deputy chief of staff of the front army, responsible for the formation of the special forces of the Northern China Front Army, and will be the supreme commander. The required soldiers can be transferred from any unit of the Front Army, and any personnel involved, the original unit cannot stop it for any reason. Order Koga to be responsible for reorganizing the intelligence agency of the Northern China Front Army, forming the Northern China Front Army Intelligence Brigade, and serving as the captain!"

"Hay!"

"Since it's a celebration banquet, let's not be so restrained. Gentlemen, please raise your glass high, fill up the sake wine of the Great Japanese Empire, and toast the sacred rise of the Great Japanese Empire!"

"cheers!"

"Gentlemen, due to the special status and positions of Major General Yamamoto and Colonel Koga, the celebration banquet cannot be held in front of the public, so only you present can witness the excellence of the two young officers. Let us congratulate them and cheers!"

"cheers!"

"The Great Japanese Empire is on board!"

"His Majesty the Emperor onboard!"

"The Great Japanese Empire is on board!"

"His Majesty the Emperor onboard!"

The celebration banquet lasted until the middle of the night. I don’t know how long it has been since such a banquet was held by the front army. Anyway, Captain Sato, who was in charge of the internal security of the banquet, hadn’t seen a senior officer above a major general in the banquet hall for almost a year. .Today he not only met, but also met a lot.

This banquet is too imaginative. So many senior officers of the Japanese army gathered in Beiping, which made the Wuhan camp, the first war zone, the World War II zone and the eighth war zone very nervous. I don’t know what the Japanese army is going to do. new action? (To be continued..)
