Chapter 830 Understanding people
The pride of this division is probably greater than that of several divisions under the 11th Army combined, because the defense of Tokyo is enough to drive them crazy. Moreover, the officers here, even a squad leader, basically graduated from military academies, and those at the brigade level graduated from the Imperial Army University.
These people are so arrogant, how can they obey the orders of the 11th Army?
this……
Anami Korechika bowed his head and pondered for a moment. "Telegram to the Imperial Guards Division. The division's reputation is above all else. If, due to arrogance, the Imperial Guards Division is defeated here, it will be an unforgivable crime for the Army. I hope he will reconsider his actions."
I have told him everything, good and bad. If he still doesn't listen, then if something goes wrong, it will not be his responsibility.
"Report to the headquarters, the Guards Division refused to obey the deployment order and launched an attack privately. I hope the headquarters will issue strict orders to control it. Otherwise, request to be transferred back to the mainland." Don't make trouble here.
Frankly speaking, the Imperial Guards Division's combat effectiveness is exaggerated, but the Independent Brigade's combat effectiveness is proven through combat. There's no way to compare them.
The arrogance of the Imperial Guards Division over the years comes from that. It comes from the fact that they are the troops that protect the capital and His Majesty. And what is the difference between their training and that of other armies? There is no difference. They do control a lot of weapons and resources.
You are just a vase, and you really think you are the best in the world.
The independent brigade fought from Songhu to Nanjing, from Nanjing to Xuzhou, and from Xuzhou to Guangxi. They were either in combat or on their way to combat. Furthermore, their commander, Zhou Weiguo, was not a man who played by the rules. What could you possibly have against him?
Not only does he lack the ability himself, he also tries to provoke an elite force from a mountain city with amazing combat effectiveness.
He is the real ace, and you are just bragging.
"Have the 13th Division and Hata Detachment launch the attack. We must delay the Yamashiro forces on the left and right sides of the main force. We must prevent them from transferring troops to reinforce the Independent Brigade. Also, have the aviation unit immediately dispatched to destroy their rear areas to prevent the Ninth Theater from withdrawing troops to support the front."
Be prepared for both situations. No matter what, nothing can happen to the Imperial Guards Division.
"Let us evacuate?" At the Imperial Guards Division headquarters, Division Commander Hashimoto glanced at the message, then threw it aside with disdain and smiled at the people around him. "See? The military doesn't believe in our strength."
Chief of Staff Takahashi laughed and said, "My division has always been nothing more than a vase in their eyes. After all, in their eyes, we are only famous because we are stationed near Tokyo. Otherwise, who would know us? Even some divisions think we are just a facade."
"Yes, I've noticed this a few years ago." Hashimoto approached the map, examined it, and tapped it. "This independent brigade was assembled by the Ninth Theater of Yamashiro, using countless resources. Only by defeating them can we make them understand that the Imperial Guards Division's ability to protect the capital isn't just a reputation, but a strength we possess. We can lead the division because we're qualified to do so."
A senior staff officer next to him thought for a moment and said, "Your Excellency, the military mentioned that even if we win, we won't get much glory, but if we fail..."
"Why, do you think we'll fail?" Hashimoto gave him a disapproving look, then added, feeling his words were a bit harsh. "Victory does bring us a great deal of glory, but you have to understand: we're dealing with an independent regiment that no one else can handle. Defeating them will show those who secretly mock us that our Imperial Guards Division is number one, and for good reason."
No one spoke. Seeing that no one was talking, Hashimoto immediately issued a combat mission: "Let the Yamamoto Brigade continue the attack, and transfer a regiment from the 2nd Brigade to assist."
Since the enemy is a brigade, and one of the most capable, it's best to be cautious. You can be aggressive, but you can't be crazy. That would be very unwise.
At the brigade headquarters, maps were laid out on two tables. A square table on the right was filled with telephones, while on the left, several senior staff officers sat together, analyzing incoming telegrams before delivering them to Zhou Weiguo and his colleagues.
"Sun Xinpu's first regiment has arrived. They blocked the enemy there for more than two hours and lost several tanks. Miyamoto Kiyoshi's regiment is pursuing them." Ruth handed the telegram sent from the radio to Zhou Weiguo.
"What's wrong with this Old Sun? Weren't we supposed to hold out for a bit and then withdraw? How could he hold out for so long and even let the enemy destroy several of their tanks? This is truly a sin."
Ono, who had been silent the whole time, put his hands behind his back. "Although I feel bad that the tanks were destroyed, I think he did a good job on this matter. After all, it was the Imperial Guards Division, and we have a good reputation. If we don't lose some, the enemy won't be able to come here with confidence. Losing some tanks is very necessary."
Tian Jing, who was standing next to Zhou Weiguo, also nodded. "I agree. Today's losses are for more weapons and equipment tomorrow."
Her words were echoed by the others. Zhou Weiguo turned his head and glanced at her before saying, "You have to keep a close eye on the squad. After all, there are new recruits. If they run away and cause unrest in the money-making process, we'll be in trouble.
"Don't worry, I've already made arrangements. Anyone who dares to evacuate before the order is given will be eliminated by machine guns."
"Report," Jinxiu, who was on duty by the phone, said after hanging up. "Brigade Commander, the scouts report that the enemy is approaching. In addition, the other two regiments of the 1st Brigade have already set off."
Good that they're out. Zhou Weiguo smiled. "I was worried they wouldn't come out. It's all right if they do. Have the First and Second Regiments hold them off. Also, let the news out a little. Let them know we have no way out now. If we can't hold this line, we'll be forced to fight on flat terrain that's not conducive to us. We need to let them know this line is our last. If we can't hold it, we won't be able to hold the county town behind us."
Minamizō Akiko, who was standing aside, raised her lips slightly. "Leave this matter to me. However, I must remind you that the Imperial Guards Division is, after all, the Imperial Army. Their combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated. We can attract them, but in terms of manpower..."
Ono waved his hand aside; "Don't worry about this matter at all. If they all come over, it won't have a big impact on us."
