Chapter 457 Are You Idiot?
Explain to me what the hell you mean by heavy equipment is the precious property of the Empire of Japan? What the hell do you mean by asking the infantry to make way for you? If the officers and soldiers of the infantry heard you say this, what would their reaction be? Do you know, you idiot?
Chief of Staff Major General Sadami Nozaki was so angry at this foolish and idiotic tank captain that his face turned from black to red. Chief of Staff Major General Sadami Nozaki dared to guarantee that if the officers and soldiers of the infantry unit heard what this idiotic tank captain said, they would beat him to death on the south bank of the Xinqiang River. If the tank unit driven and commanded by this tank captain could get onto the pontoon bridge, Chief of Staff Major General Sadami Nozaki would even commit suicide by disemboweling himself.
You are such an idiot. Don't you see who is controlling the pontoon bridge and who is commanding the troops to pass through the bridge and maintain order? It's the gendarmerie of the 6th Division and the infantry troops.
If what you, a stupid tank captain, said was heard by those infantry troops, even if the division commander agreed to your stupid proposal and let you, the heavy weapons troops, pass the pontoon bridge first, you, a stupid captain, would believe it or not, Chief of Staff Major General Sadatsumi Nozaki dares to bet his head with you that your tank troops would definitely be the last to pass the pontoon bridge.
You, a fool, dare to offend the infantry at this time. If you are not really a little bit stupid, then you really want to kill yourself with your troops. Do you really think you are the empire's favorite? Or do you think that the division commander, Lieutenant General Shiro Inaba, dare not order your broken tank unit to turn around and block the attacking Chinese pursuit troops?
"Oh? Mr. Captain of the tank corps, do you think that the lives of the officers and soldiers of the infantry corps are not the precious assets of the Imperial Japanese Army? Don't you know that it is the officers and soldiers of the infantry corps who are using their lives to resist the attacks of the Chinese army? Didn't your corps commanders teach you to obey orders before?" The chief of staff, Major General Sadatsumi Nozaki, first loudly reprimanded the captain of the tank corps, and then scolded all the officers who were causing trouble.
"Um... Please forgive me, Your Excellency Chief of Staff. We didn't mean that just now. We are all officers of the Imperial Japanese Army. Our superiors also told us to obey their orders when we first joined the army. We just couldn't accept it when we heard that we had to sink these heavy equipment we were operating into the river. After hearing the stern teachings of Your Excellency Chief of Staff just now, I also understood the good intentions of Your Excellency the division commander. I will rush back to the army immediately, destroy the tanks as soon as possible, and then lead the officers and soldiers to cross the pontoon bridge in an orderly manner." After being severely reprimanded by the Chief of Staff, Major General Sadatsumi Nozaki, the tank captain sobered up from his impulse and quickly expressed his attitude.
After the tank captain finished speaking, he quickly turned around and ran towards his tank unit. When he looked up, he saw the vicious eyes of the infantrymen behind the Chief of Staff, Major General Sadami Nozaki. He knew that if the Chief of Staff, Major General Sadami Nozaki, had not been here, he would have been beaten to death by the officers and soldiers of the Sixth Division.
Moreover, even if he was beaten to death, no one would be investigated after the war. After all, it was impossible for the division commander, Lieutenant General Inaba Shiro, and the division chief of staff, Major General Nozaki Sadatsumi, to punish the officers and soldiers of the 6th Division for his own sake.
If I'm lucky, after the war, the Sixth Division will report that I died in the battle with the Chinese army. If the division chief of staff, Major General Sadatsumi Nozaki, is ruthless, I might even be accused of disobeying military orders and gathering a crowd to cause trouble. If that happens, my family probably won't even get the post-war pension, and I'll have to bear the blame.
When the remaining officers who were causing trouble saw that the Chief of Staff of the Sixth Division, Major General Sadami Nozaki, was really angry, they all lowered their heads and hurried back to their own troops, fearing that if they walked too slowly, they would be killed as an example to the Chief of Staff, Major General Sadami Nozaki.
Chief of Staff Major General Sadatsumi Nozaki was so angry when he saw the officers dispersing. If it were his usual temper, he would have asked the military police behind him to arrest all the officers who were causing trouble.
However, this is an extraordinary period. The troops have suffered heavy losses, and their heavy equipment has almost been lost. If these officers are captured, there will be no one to organize the soldiers in the troops to which these officers belong, which will only make the scene on the pontoon bridge even more chaotic.
However, the Chief of Staff, Major General Sadatsumi Nozaki, also had a record of these young officers who were causing trouble. Although these people cannot be punished now due to the war, after the war, none of them will be able to escape. They dared to gather and cause trouble so blatantly, and they did not take the Sixth Division seriously at all, nor did they take the authority of the division commander, Lieutenant General Inaba Shiro, seriously. If these people are not punished, then in the future anyone will dare to challenge the authority and glory of the Sixth Division. This loophole must not be opened.
After dealing with things here, Chief of Staff Major General Sadatsumi Nozaki also returned to the north bank of the Xinqiang River with his men via the pontoon bridge. Now it depends on how many troops can be withdrawn within this short period of time.
The Chief of Staff, Major General Nozaki Sadatsumi, came to the division commander, Lieutenant General Inaba Shiro, and whispered, "Your Excellency, your order has been fully conveyed."
The division commander, Lieutenant General Inaba Shiro, looked at his watch, then nodded and said, "Nozaki-kun, the engineering corps is fully prepared. When the Chinese army's pursuit troops attack, we will order the engineering corps to detonate the explosives. The remaining troops that have not withdrawn can only rely on themselves. There are some rubber boats on the south bank. Whether they can withdraw from the river depends on themselves. In addition, in five minutes, order the defensive troops on both wings to start retreating."
After the division commander, Lieutenant General Inaba Shiro, finished explaining these things, he walked out of the division headquarters with a telescope, came to the small earthen slope, and began to carefully observe the retreat situation on the pontoon bridge with the telescope.
The pursuit troops of the New 22nd Army appeared in the telescope of the division commander, Lieutenant General Inaba Shiro, more than ten minutes later. The gunshots and shouts in the distance also reached the ears of the Japanese officers and soldiers on the pontoon bridge. The Japanese officers and soldiers on the south bank of the New Wall River on the pontoon bridge became a little panicked, and more Japanese officers and soldiers who had just withdrawn from the two wing defense lines squeezed onto the pontoon bridge.
