My years of espionage

Chapter 886

"The Locust Army of the Great Japanese Empire has won the Haraha River!"

"In the face of repeated provocations by the Mongolian army in the Haraha River, Lieutenant General Michitaro Komatsuhara, head of the Kwantung Army's No. 20 Third Division, decisively ordered the No. 60 Fourth Regiment to attack. The locust army killed [-] enemies, including a puppet Mongolian army division commander, and killed, wounded, and captured more than [-] unidentified fully armed elements."

"Onboard!"

'Miyazaki Kentaro', Ota Yuichi, and Ono Junji stood up excitedly, raised their arms and cheered 'onboard'.

Kawata Atsuto also happily kissed the geisha beside him and laughed.

Yoshino Sakamoto's eyes widened, "Masters, where is the Haraha River?"

"Empire Manchuria."

"Imperial territories despicably occupied by the Mongols."

Cheng Qianfan and Ota Yuichi blurted out almost at the same time, and then they looked at each other, laughed, stepped forward to hug each other, clinked glasses, drank together, and shouted 'board'.

On the radio, the announcer vividly described the great victory of the Imperial Locust Army at the Haraha River in passionate tones.

……

After Japan launched the September [-]th Incident, it occupied the three northeastern provinces, and the next year they established the puppet Manchukuo.

This directly led to Outer Mongolia and Puppet Manchukuo becoming neighbors.

The Puppet Manchukuo had constant friction with Outer Mongolia.

Behind Outer Mongolia lies Soviet Russia, and behind the Puppet Manchukuo lies Japan.

The outbreak of border conflicts between the two sides was actually a matter between the Soviet army and the Japanese army behind them.

The main reason for the conflict was that the Japanese army continued to test the Soviet military's military strength in the Far East. They wanted to know how much Soviet Russia was interested in the Far East.If they don't have many garrisons, then Japan can not only eat the three northeastern provinces, but also eat Outer Mongolia.

After all, Tsarist Russia was terrified by the Japanese army back then!
Of course, the ambitions of the Japanese gradually expanded, and they even had the illusion of attacking Soviet Russia with Germany and carve up the world.

Last July, the 'Locust Army' was planning the Wuhan campaign, and the base camp was worried that the Soviet Union would take the opportunity to attack 'Manchuria'.

Therefore, the locust army tested the Soviet Union's response at Zhanggufeng.

Unexpectedly, the 19th Division stationed in North Korea suffered a big loss in Zhanggufeng, paying the price of more than [-] people, while the Soviet army only killed or injured more than [-] people.

In the end, Japan and the Soviet Union signed an armistice agreement through diplomatic negotiations.

But such a humiliating result was regarded as a shame by the Japanese military.

Especially in the eyes of Nakazusa Tsuji Masanobu of the Kwantung Army Staff Headquarters, it was a great shame.

Since the North Korean army is incompetent, let the Soviets see how powerful the Kwantung Army is!
So Tsuji Masanobu drafted the "Outline for Handling the Manchurian-Soviet Border" in the name of General Kenkichi Ueda, commander of the Kwantung Army.

In the outline, Masanobu Tsuji ordered:
For areas where the national border is unclear, the defense commander must independently identify the national border and clearly indicate it to the front-line troops.

As we all know, areas with unclear borders between the two countries are often areas prone to conflict. Delegating power to division heads in such areas is tantamount to encouraging the army to wage war.

At this time, it was Lieutenant General Michitaro Komatsuhara, head of the No. 20 Third Division, who was active on the border between Soviet Union and Mongolia.

……

Komatsuhara graduated from the Japanese Army University and is recognized as an elite member of the Japanese military.

Komatsuhara once served as a military attache at the embassy in the Soviet Union, the purpose of which was to familiarize himself with Soviet Russia and grasp the real situation of the Soviet army on the Soviet-Mongolian border.

After returning from the Soviet Union, Michitaro Komatsuhara has been engaged in espionage work at the General Staff Headquarters. This is the first time he has been sent to a field force.

Komatsuhara Michitaro has always wanted to make a miracle and show his ability. In this way, he coincides with Tsuji Masanobu's ambition.

Michitaro Komatsuhara dispatched the 64th Regiment plus five squadrons. Under the leadership of the Regiment Changshan County Takemitsu, the troops sent troops to the Haraha River.

"The warriors of the Great Japanese Locust Army chanted the slogan of dying for the emperor, defeated the puppet Mongolian army with invincible force, and killed the commander of the puppet Mongolian army.

The Saito Squadron of the No.60 Triple Regiment even launched an attack from the flanks, surrounding unidentified armed forces...

After four hours of fierce fighting, the enemy in front of us was almost completely annihilated...the locust army only had more than a hundred people, and it is regrettable that the sinful stray bullets hit the commander of Shanxian Wuguang..."

Hearing this, Cheng Qianfan, Ota Yuichi and the others all bowed their heads in silent tribute, expressing their condolences to this jaded imperial chief.

"With the strength of one regiment, at the cost of only a hundred men, two thousand puppet Mongolian troops and seven hundred Soviet troops have been wiped out. Colonel Takemitsu of Yamagata has created a military miracle." Ota Yuichi said with a sad expression.

Although the Imperial broadcast referred to the group as 'unidentified militants', in fact everyone knew that it was the Soviet Russian army stationed in Outer Mongolia.

"That's right, it's a pity that Colonel Wu Guang of Shan County has the qualifications of a famous general." Cheng Qianfan shook his head as he spoke, feeling deeply, "The flower of a famous general withers by the banks of the Haraha River."

……

"Good fight." Cheng Qianfan's face was flushed, and his eyes glowed with excitement, "This battle not only avenged last year's revenge, but also spied on the reality of the Soviets. The polar bear is extremely weak now, facing the locust warriors, it is simply vulnerable."

"North Korea's garrison troops have done a lot of harm." Ota Yuichi snorted coldly, "It almost ruined the fate of the empire."

The "Northern Movement" and "Southern Movement" formed by the Japanese military have actually affected all aspects of the army.

The "Northern Movement" is mainly based on the army, and advocates the development of the Far East and war with Soviet Russia.

Yuichi Ota is naturally a supporter of the "Northern Movement". Last year, Zhang Gufeng, the North Korean garrison, was defeated by the Soviet Union, which made the military quite afraid of the military capabilities of the Soviet Union. Some high-level officials even began to think about the strategy of the Northward Movement. Whether it is feasible, now, the Kwantung Army under the leadership of Tsuji Masanobu has completely surrounded and annihilated the Soviet Russian army, which has regained the confidence of army officers including Ota Yuichi.

"Cheers to His Excellency Masanobu Tsuji!" Cheng Qianfan shouted excitedly with one arm around the geisha and the other holding his glass high.

"Cheers to His Excellency Masanobu Tsuji." Everyone shouted and toasted.

Although this unprecedented victory was achieved by the No.20 Fourth Regiment of the No.60 Third Division, no matter whether it is the heroic No.60 Fourth Regiment Yamagata Takemitsu, or the head of the No.20 Third Division Michitaro Komatsuhara. It is outstanding.

However, in the hearts of 'Miyazaki Kentaro', Ota Yuichi and others, including Kawada Atsuto and others, the first contribution to this great victory should belong to Masanobu Tsuji, who is manipulating and strategizing behind the scenes!
There is a very special group in the Japanese army. Their military ranks are generally not high, but they have extremely high privileges. Not only do they often 'forge' orders from their chiefs, they even command troops at higher levels.

In the combat meeting, they were only the lieutenant and chief commanders, but they dared to point at the general's nose and yell at them, but the general who was insulted by them had nothing to do with them.

This is the staff officer of the Japanese army.

The staff system is a very special system of the Japanese army. The staff of the Japanese army is not managed by their own chief officer, but by the staff of the higher level. Therefore, although a small staff officer is generally not high in rank, it has a great influence. that power.

Among all the staff officers of the Japanese army, the most famous are Kanji Ishihara, Masanobu Tsuji and Ryuzo Seshima, known as the "Three Great Staff of the Showa era".

In October of the 35th year of the Meiji Empire, Tsuji Masanobu was born in a carbon farmer's family in Shier County.

At that time, Japan was a country with a very strict social hierarchy, and carbon farmers were almost the bottom of the entire country.

Due to the poverty of his family, Masanobu Tsuji was admitted to the Army Junior School in order to continue his studies after elementary school. On the one hand, Masanobu Tsuji wanted to join the army, and on the other hand, because only military schools do not charge tuition fees at all.

Unexpectedly, after coming to the Army Academy, Masanobu Tsuji shone so brightly.

From the Army Junior School to the Army Non-commissioned Officer School, Masanobu Tsuji graduated with the top grades, and when he graduated from the Army University, he was No.3 at the time, and he received the saber bestowed by Emperor Tian.

This is the highest honor coveted by Army University graduates:
Only the top six of the annual graduates can get it. Among all the officers from military academies, people like Tsuji Masanobu are called the "saber group" and belong to the elite among the elite.

Tsuji Masanobu has never been a person with amazing talent. He is not a military genius like Ishihara Wanji. It is entirely due to his superhuman perseverance that he can achieve such outstanding results.

Whenever others are resting or having fun, Masanobu Tsuji is studying hard. For this reason, he often stays up all night and only sleeps on his desk for two or three hours a day.

It can be said that Tsuji Masanobu is the best inspirational role model for grassroots officers of the Japanese army who were born as civilians!

Even for a money-greedy guy like 'Miyazaki Kentaro' who is afraid of death, at this moment, his eyes seem to be shining, which shows how much he admires Tsuji Masanobu.

Seeing Miyazaki Kentaro propose a toast to Masanobu Tsuji, and seeing the adoring light in Miyazaki Kentaro's eyes, Ota Yuichi had a better impression of Miyazaki Kentaro.

He is a crazy admirer and follower of Masanobu Tsuji.

Seeing that Miyazaki Kentaro also admired and respected Tsuji Masanobu so much, he even felt like a confidant at this moment.

……

Atsuto Kawada put his arm around the geisha, watching all this with great interest, he didn't know if his good friend Miyazaki Kentaro really admired Masanobu Tsuji as he showed, but he was happy to see Yuichi Ota and Yuichi Ota Miyazaki Kentaro's relationship goes a step further.

After working in the Gendarmerie Command for more than half a year, Atsuto Kawada began to realize the pros and cons of being a son of a nobleman.

Li, the identity of the youngest son of Yuji Kawada, a member of the House of Nobles, can win him the respect of everyone.

However, this respect, more often than not, will be 'keep a respectful distance'.

Atsuto Kawada realized that there seemed to be some kind of estrangement between himself and his colleagues, and the depressed nobleman found his friend Miyazaki Kentaro to complain.

Miyazaki Kentaro's advice to him was to make friends.

This is good advice, but Atsuto Kawada is having a hard time doing it right.

It's a little difficult for the proud noble young master to let go of his airs.

Under such circumstances, Kawada Atsuto looked at the frowning Miyazaki Kentaro, but his eyes lit up:
The task of making friends fell on Miyazaki Kentaro.

Miyazaki Kentaro made friends on behalf of Kawada Atsuto, and through this indirect relationship, the middle-level military officers recognized Kawada Atsuto.

Kawada Atsuto remembered that he once mentioned to Miyazaki Kentaro that Ota Yuichi was Tsuji Masanobu's admirer and follower.

Miyazaki-kun is a caring person.

Obviously, Miyazaki-kun has this matter in mind and knows how to use the information reasonably.

Atsuto Kawada knew that Miyazaki Kentaro was most interested in money and women, but now he took the initiative to befriend Ota Yuichi, naturally to help him win over relationships and gain a foothold in the army.

Miyazaki-kun is a true friend.

……

Because it coincided with the exciting victory of the empire at the Haraha River, several people were quite excited, and it can be said that they returned home with a lot of fun.

Cheng Qianfan watched Atsuto Kawada and Ryono Sakamoto getting into the car with drunkenness, and told Ono Shunji, who was driving, to be careful on the road.

He stretched and burped.

"Miyazaki-kun, I know a good place to drink tea and hangover." Ota Yuichi issued an invitation.

"Mr. Otian invites you, and I will accompany you." Cheng Qianfan smiled heartily.

He was planning to send Atsuto Kawada and Ryono Sakamoto back in person, but Junji Ono offered to escort them. Cheng Qianfan guessed that Yuichi Ota was looking for him.

Cheng Qianfan waved his hand, motioning for Li Hao to follow, and he got into Ota Yuichi's car directly.

Not too far.

Coming soon.

Cheng Qianfan took a look at Ota Yuichi's residence, and couldn't help sighing, "Ota-kun, this place looks simple, but there is a universe inside."

This is a small building on the second floor. Judging from the exterior, the outer walls of the building are mottled, and even bullet marks on the walls can be seen, which are marks left by the war.

However, the interior of the house is completely new, obviously redecorated, and the utensils and furniture that can be seen are quite luxurious.

"The original owner of this house is said to be a wealthy Chinese merchant family." Ota Yuichi said with a smile, "The empire entered Shanghai, and this family suffered misfortune during the war."

"I see." Cheng Qianfan nodded slightly, he noticed that Ota Yuichi used the word 'unfortunate'.

He secretly kept this detail in his heart.

Ota Yuichi clapped his hands, and a servant came to offer the tea cup.

"North Korean?" Cheng Qianfan glanced at the woman who was proficient in handling tea sets, and asked with interest.

"Miyazaki-kun has good eyesight." Ota Yuichi praised.

Cheng Qianfan smiled triumphantly, but he was thinking in his heart, Ota Yuichi's posture is too low today, it seems that he is asking for something?
After the maid left.

The two drank tea and chatted.

After Cheng Qianfan drank a cup of hot tea, he felt that the pores of his whole body were ironed comfortably, and couldn't help but sigh comfortably.

Ota Yuichi picked up the teapot and filled him again.

"Ota-kun, you and I are good friends, there is nothing unspeakable between friends." Cheng Qianfan looked at Ota Yuichi, "Why don't you speak up if you have something to say?"

When Ota heard the words, he clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Miyazaki-kun is right, I am too outsider, and there is indeed something I want to ask Miyazaki-kun."

"It's okay to ask," Cheng Qianfan said.

"Miyazaki-kun." Ota Yuichi's expression became serious, "Do you have contact with the New Fourth Army?"

PS: Ask for subscription, ask for reward, ask for monthly pass, thank you.

　Do you still have a monthly pass?
Thank you.
