sjar Chapter 859 Attack Changsha
Chapter 859 Attack Changsha
Among all the senior Japanese generals, Chen Yang rarely fears anyone.
Commander Anan is one of these few.
This is not surprising. Since ancient times, the cruel ones are afraid of the stupid ones, and the stupid ones are afraid of the ones who don't care about their lives.
Commander Anan was one of the few Japanese generals who committed seppuku after Japan's defeat.
When he was dying, his last words were to kill Admiral Mine.
Chen Yang could only stay away from such a person who didn't care about his life. If he offended him too much, who knew whether he would change his will to kill Chen Yang when he performed a cesarean section in the future.
After instructing He Yuehua to invite the person in, Chen Yang sat on the chair, wondering why the other party came to see him.
Knock, knock, knock on the door. Chen Yang came back to his senses and said, "Come in."
The office door was pushed open and a middle-aged man with an elegant appearance pushed the door open and walked in.
This is a typical Japanese man, with a crew cut, a pair of glasses on his nose, and a short stature, only about 1.5 meters tall.
His face is a little chubby, with a tuft of beard under his nose.
"Hello, Minister Chen, I am Taro Miurakawa." The man walked into the office, bowed slightly to Chen Yang, and introduced himself.
"Mr. Miura, please take a seat." Chen Yang raised his hand slightly, motioning him to sit down.
He Yuehua also followed in and handed over a cup of tea.
"Minister Chen, I have a letter from Commander Anan here. Please take a look." Miurakawa Taro pushed the teacup forward and took out a letter that had been prepared long ago from his briefcase.
Chen Yang took the letter and read it carefully.
"Commander Anan wants to attack Changsha? This matter should be reported to the Expeditionary Force Headquarters. How did Mr. Miura find me, the joint transport?" Chen Yang asked in confusion after reading the letter: "If it is a matter of supplies, I need to get an order from the Expeditionary Force Headquarters before I can coordinate."
"As for the issue of giving advice to the Expeditionary Forces Headquarters mentioned in Commander Anan's letter."
"Mr. Miura, do you think Commander Nishio would listen to the advice of a transport officer and start a war?"
"Commander Anan thinks too highly of me. I'm sorry, but I can't help you."
Miura Kawataro seemed to have anticipated Chen Yang's reaction, and said seriously: "Minister Chen, the reason why Commander Anan believes that you can accomplish this is not because of your good relationship with Commander Nishio."
"But I know you are a professional intelligence officer."
"Cough cough cough." Chen Yang was drinking coffee. When he heard what Miura Kawatarou said, he immediately started coughing.
After finally stopping his cough, Chen Yang blushed and sighed, "Mr. Sanpu, you are the first person in the entire Shanghai market to evaluate me like this."
Miura Kawataro said in a gentle voice: "Minister Chen, you are the direct person in charge of No. 76, how can you be unprofessional?"
"Besides, I'm here because Colonel Hiroichi Watanabe of our Intelligence Department received news from Changsha."
"With the help of the Special High Section's Red Sun Team, the Falcon Team No. 76 lurking in Changsha successfully obtained Changsha's military deployment map."
"Colonel Watanabe's information cannot be wrong. You have made a great contribution this time."
"But if you don't attack Changsha, your contribution will be lost."
"The military deployment map will not be effective for a long time, and the troops will definitely be mobilized or changed at different times."
"So, Commander Anan hopes that you can use your position as the head of the intelligence agency to advise Commander Nishio that our 11th Army is fully capable of taking Changsha."
"You may not be very clear about military matters. Changsha is very important to the National Government."
"It can be said to be a checkpoint at the southwest gateway."
"If we take Changsha, it will be like opening the southwest gate and giving us the opportunity to face the Shancheng troops directly."
"If they want to defend themselves, they can only rely on Hengyang and Changde, which are not as good as Changsha."
"As long as we take Changsha, we can force the top leaders of the National Government to return to the negotiation table. Minister Chen, you must believe that our imperial army is fully capable of ending the Chinese war as soon as possible."
Chen Yang tapped the table lightly with his fingers, thought for a long time and said, "Mr. Miura, I haven't received the report that the Falcon Team has obtained the military deployment map, so I don't know whether it is true or not."
"How about this? I'll ask Director Ding and Director Li from No. 76. Even if we get the military deployment map, we have to distinguish the authenticity to prevent ourselves from falling into the enemy's trap."
"You go back and wait for news."
Miura Kawataro nodded slightly, as if remembering something, and opened his briefcase, took out a small square box, handed it to Chen Yang, and said, "I came in a hurry, and I didn't bring any gifts for Minister Chen."
"This is a diamond Commander Anan accidentally obtained. It's called something like Star. Commander Anan doesn't have any feelings for these things."
"I heard that Minister Chen's fiancée is French. I'm sure she will like this gift."
Wow, this little Japanese guy is quite knowledgeable about the ways of the world.
Chen Yang refused hypocritically: "Mr. Miura, this is not appropriate."
"How can I take Commander Anan's things?"
Taro Miura opened the box and inside was a pink diamond as big as a pigeon egg.
"Minister Chen, please don't be polite. In Commander Anan's eyes, this thing is just a pink stone."
"If you don't accept it, you're looking down on Commander Anan."
Haha, not only does he know how to give gifts, he also knows how to say polite words. It's obvious that he has been in China for several years.
The essence of Chinese officialdom has been fully mastered.
"What are you saying, Mr. Miura? Commander Anan is the person I respect the most." Chen Yang also echoed in response.
As for whether it goes against my conscience or not, considering this diamond, conscience doesn't seem to be that important.
"Minister Chen, I have to go to the Expeditionary Force Headquarters. I'll take my leave now."
Chen Yang stood up and said, "Mr. Sanpu, I'll take you out."
Miura Kawataro quickly waved his hand and said, "No, no, Minister Chen, please stay."
As he said this, he bowed slightly, turned and left the office.
Chen Yang looked at Miurakawa Taro's departing back and couldn't help feeling a little emotional.
In this Changsha battle, Commander Anan will immediately experience the power of the Tianlu tactics.
Without the support of air power, they did have some difficulty fighting against Commander Xue.
It was for this reason that the expeditionary force's war command department asked Commander Anan to wait a little longer.
Let the Northeast make a decision before considering the Chinese issue. After all, the war in China is not as easy to resolve as they think.
But the war in the Far East was different. If the Soviet Union withdrew the million Red Army from the Far East, the Kwantung Army could advance northward at any time and occupy part of the land.
However, Commander Anan insisted that now was the best time...
