"Chen Jun, during my tenure as the commander of the 13th Army, you took great care of me. Your home is also the warmest place outside of my homeland. This time we say goodbye, and I don’t know if we can meet again in the future. The situation is so difficult, I have nothing else to say, please take care!" Nagatsu Sahijo actually stood up and bowed to Chen Mingxiang.

In this major adjustment of Kantaro Suzuki's cabinet, Nagatsu Sahiji was appointed as the commander of the fifty-eighth army of the 17th Front Army, based on Jeju Island.It was Lieutenant-General Matsui Takuro Matsui who took over as the commander of the 13th Army.

The new chief of staff of the dispatch army is called Kobayashi Asasaburo, the rank of lieutenant general in the army. He previously served as the chief of staff of the 12th Army and the chief of staff of the Fourth Army of the Kwantung Army.

Another news made Chen Mingxiang feel particularly surprised. Lieutenant General Miura Saburo was transferred to Jin Province as the commander of the 141th Infantry Division of the First Army of the North China Front.

This guy came from an army military police and did not have the ability to command field operations. From this, it can be known that the Japanese army's crazy expansion of the army in order to resist the US army and the future Soviet army has also led to very serious consequences. It lacks experienced senior commanders. official.

The division is an important combat unit of the Japanese army. The commanders of the division are all lieutenant generals. Due to the requirements of qualifications, the generals of the military police system have to be transferred to the field troops to fill the number. The combat effectiveness of such troops will be greatly reduced.

After the job handover of the commander of the Thirteenth Army was completed, Chen Mingxiang hosted a banquet at home to see Yongjinzuo off, and in accordance with the old rules, gave generous gifts and procedures.

"Mr. Yongjin, please take care too. It is a great blessing in my life to be able to be friends with the General. Please drink this cup and wish the General a good journey!" Chen Mingxiang raised his glass and said.

When the situation has reached this point, no one needs to conceal it anymore. With the US attack on Okinawa, the attack on the mainland is not far away. Japan's defeat is doomed. These high-level generals did not say anything high-sounding. .

According to Matsui Takuro, the 161st Infantry Division will be formed in a few days. The commander of the division will be transferred from Fuzhou to Shanghai.

"This time I went to General Xianggang Village, Jinling, to bid farewell. He went to the Sixth Front Army Headquarters in Jiangcheng to listen to the report. I felt that he was in a bad mood. He didn't even have the interest to talk. He just gave me some encouragement." Said Nagatsu Sahiko.

"This is not surprising. First of all, the domestic situation made him feel anxious. Lieutenant General Ushimaman led the 32nd Army. He was fighting a desperate battle with the American army on Okinawa in our empire, but the Ninth Division was taken away in advance. , Resulting in a reduction in combat effectiveness by half."

"This time, the independent mixed 86th and 87th brigades just established by the 20th Army did not even have 38-type rifles, 11-type light machine guns, and 92-type heavy machine guns. They were all from the Shancheng government. The weapons captured here, just like this, the soldiers are young men, free from any actual combat experience."

"The main division has been downsizing substantially. The original infantry squadron with two hundred men is now only half of the number. The artillery of the wild artillery unit, and even the old mountain artillery from the Russo-Japanese War. There is not a single wild artillery! Go to fight a tough battle with the Shancheng government army?"

"General Ningji Okamura once had a peace talk. He thought we might lose this battle against the western part of Hunan Province. Now he works in the headquarters as usual in the morning and goes fishing in the afternoon. That's the case every day!" Matsui Takuro smiled bitterly. Said.

He used to be the chief of staff of the dispatch army headquarters and has always been closely related to the commander-in-chief. Therefore, he is also one of the few people who knows the inside story.

On April 12, Chen Mingxiang received the news from the headquarters of the Bureau that American President Roosevelt passed away and Truman succeeded him as President.

On April 13, the 20th Army under the Japanese Sixth Front Army, commanded by the commander Lieutenant General Banxii Yiliang, mobilized the 116th Infantry Division, the 47th Infantry Division, and the 64th Infantry Division. The 69th Infantry Brigade of the Division, the 58th Infantry Brigade of the 68th Infantry Division, the 217th Infantry Regiment of the 34th Infantry Division of the 11th Army, Independence Mountain The Second Artillery Wing launched the last large-scale military operation.

This is a battle doomed to fail. In order to prevent Japanese troops from invading Sichuan and Guizhou provinces after Operation No. 1, the Shancheng government had already made preparations for the battle and built a large number of fortifications.

The Yamashiro government’s military committee also judged the crisis facing Japan, and gave the deadly orders to the troops that carried out the blockade and counterattack. This battle can only be won but not lost.

And mobilized the main line of the 74th Army, the 18th Army, the 100th Army and the New Sixth Army with all the American equipment. It can be said that it is the strongest unit of the Shancheng government army system.

"The bureau's headquarters called and informed the Zhijiang side of the combat situation. The Japanese offensive was smashed, and then our Shancheng government forces launched a counterattack. This time we must be able to win a big victory. According to the US Navy, the German warfare Just over these few days."

"The Prime Minister of Italy’s puppet government, Mussolini, was captured by the guerrillas on April 27, and was shot with his lover the next day. At 3:30 pm on the 30th, German head of state Hitler shot himself. His wife committed suicide by taking poison." Wang Zhen said with a message.

Germany, Italy, and Japan are the black hands who launched the criminal war. Now that the two are lying down, the remaining Japan will not be any better. It is just a matter of time.

"I will see Zhou Aihai later, and strive to come to Jinling this afternoon and talk to Chen Gongbo about Ding Mocun's problems in the evening. He hasn't played any value yet. It's time for him to give me back." Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.

"Then where do you want him to work? The Shanghai Stock Exchange, Jinling and Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces are the most important in the administrative area of ​​the Wang Puppet government." Wang Zhen asked.

"There are places. Chen Qun was removed from the position of high-ranking official because of the hindrance of the grain collection work in Jiangsu Province by Japan, and was transferred back to Jinling to serve as the dean of the examination. For the coveted site, Xiang Zhizhuang, a senior official in Zhejiang province, can be transferred to make room for Dingmo Village." Chen Mingxiang said.

"Listening to your tone, it seems that the Wang Puppet government is our family's business, so you can do whatever you want!" Wang Zhen said with a smile.

"Don't tell me, the current situation is so true. Zhou Aohai will not refuse me. After all, Ding Mocun has been following him for so many years, but he has never had a place to go. Besides, he doesn't care about anything except the Shanghai stock market."

"For Chen Gongbo, it doesn't matter to him whoever comes to be a high-ranking official at this time, he doesn't have his own cronies." Chen Mingxiang said.
