my bright sword career

Chapter 211 No one's face is bought

The [-]th Division and the [-]th Division were severely damaged, and three regiment flags were seized. If the flag of the Fourth Regiment was captured at Cangyunling at the beginning of the year, it can be said that the Japanese Army has set a new record in this year. A record of shame in Japanese military history.

This kind of shame is obviously not something that the North China Front Army or even the China Dispatch Army can bear. Soon the Japanese base camp and Emperor Hirohito were shocked by this news.

In a dimly lit quiet room, Emperor Hirohito was wearing a pair of baggy trousers that were a little worn out, and a loose kimono on his body. His eyes hidden under heavy lenses looked a little dull.

At this time, the Japanese Prime Minister Fumimaro Konoe and Moto Sugiyama, who had just succeeded Prince Kanin as Chief of Staff of the Army, sat down and knelt in front of Hirohito. Not daring to breathe, waiting in fear to bear the wrath of the emperor.

It took a long time for Hirohito to say lightly: "Kokonoe-kun, Sugiyama-kun, I heard that just a few days ago, the [-]th and [-]th divisions of the imperial army suffered a big defeat in China.

In particular, the Sixteenth Division lost more than 2 people, and three sides of the alliance flag were taken away. Tell me, is there such a thing? "

Hearing this, the faces of Konoe Fumimaro and Sugiyama Moto became fearful, especially Sugiyama Moto secretly complained in his heart. You must know that this happened in the Army, and he has an inescapable responsibility as the Chief of Staff of the Army.

"His Majesty!"

Sugiyama Yuan hurriedly said: "Because of the sudden incident, I have just received the news not long ago, but according to the information sent by the China dispatched army, the person who caused all this is named Gao Hongming, who is from a place in Liantai County in Shanxi Province of China. The head of the militia.

A few days ago, he participated in the Hundred Regiments War launched by the Eighth Route Army of China. For some reason, he suddenly rushed to the territory of Hebei, and collided head-on with the [-]th and [-]th Divisions who were about to rush to assist Shanxi. The Eighth Division used chemical weapons unprepared, causing heavy casualties in the Sixteenth Division and the [-]th Division. I am responsible for negligence in this matter, and I ask Your Majesty to punish it. "

Konoe Fumimaro pouted at the side, this Sugiyama Moto is really cunning, more than 2 people died, three alliance flags were seized by the Chinese, but when it came to his mouth, it became the responsibility of negligence, which is too clever Are you shirking responsibility?
However, he also knew that what Sugiyama Moto was best at was pouring ecstasy soup on His Majesty the Emperor, otherwise how could he be the Chief of Staff of the Army with this idiot.

But this time, Emperor Hirohito didn't seem to buy it much, and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Sugiyama, if I remember correctly, half a year ago, the 41st Division under the First Army stationed in Shanxi was also hit hard. It seems that this Gao Hongming Did you do it?"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

A layer of white capillary sweat emerged from Sugiyama Moto's forehead. He didn't expect His Majesty the Emperor to remember what happened half a year ago, and he also clearly remembered the division number, but at this time he did not dare to deceive anyone.

"Your Majesty, this is Gao Hongming. He was originally just a local dude. At the beginning of this year, after his father was accidentally killed by the imperial army, he pulled up a team to fight against the empire.

It stands to reason that there are countless such people in China, but what is surprising is that this Gao Hongming did not know where to get a large number of German weapons, including the latest German rifles, submachine guns, machine guns and even heavy tanks. Che, causing heavy casualties to the Empire.

According to the telegram sent by Tada Jun, after the investigation of the water supply unit, Gao Hongming used the latest mustard gas. The skin of the human body can cause harm to a person, and it only takes 2 to 5 minutes to kill a person.

The No.16 Division and the [-]th Division suffered heavy losses for this reason. "

"Does the empire have any countermeasures?"

"No?" Moto Sugiyama replied honestly: "According to the analysis and research of our scientists, this mustard gas is at least five to ten years more advanced than the empire's, and the empire currently has no poisonous gas that can compete with it.

And there is still a problem at present, even if the empire is researched, it does not currently have the means of mass production, so..."

"So that means, we have nothing to do with this Gao Hongming?" Having said this, there was obvious anger in Hirohito's voice.

Sugiyama Moto hurriedly got up and knelt down to Hirohito, "I am incompetent, please punish me, Your Majesty."

Hirohito's voice was several degrees colder than before, "Sug Shan-kun, you are the chief of the army staff appointed by me, you have to take full responsibility for this matter to the end, that Gao Hongming caused such a great loss to the empire, you must take it out A surefire way to kill it, understand?"

"Hi!"

Sugiyama Moto quickly replied loudly: "I have sent a special envoy headed by Kenji Doihara to Chongqing to put pressure on the Chongqing government to arrest Gao Hongming and hand it over to the imperial court for trial. If not, the empire will There will be tit-for-tat action."

Hirohito was noncommittal to Sugiyama Yuan's words, but said lightly, "I will leave this matter to you, you have to remember, I don't look at the process but only the result, understand?"

"Hi!"

Just when China and even the whole of Japan were boiling over the largest poison gas war since the War of Resistance, Gao Hongming, as the protagonist of the incident, had swaggered into Shanxi with the Liantai militia and returned to Liantai County.

But he had just returned to Liantai County and before he entered his house, he saw several people waiting for him at the gate of the city, and the leader of them was Sun Chu, the deputy commander of the Sixth Group Army of the Jinsui Army.

"Mr. Sun, why are you here?"

Sun Chu looked at Gao Hongming, his expression was a little uncertain, and he sighed after a long time: "You boy made such a big commotion this time, if I don't come again, I don't know how much trouble you will make."

"There's a commotion?"

Hearing this, Gao Hongming was a little unhappy, "Mr. Sun, this time I was ordered by the theater commander's department to assist the Eighth Route Army in the Hundred Regiments Campaign, and I won such a big victory. Is it too much to call it a disturbance?"

"Emotionally, you also know that you are going to assist the Eighth Route Army."

Having dealt with Gao Hongming many times, Sun Chu can sort out some of Gao Hongming's temperament, and know that this kid is a donkey, and if he really wants to piss him off, this guy won't buy any face.
