Chapter 222 The Devil's Division Commander's Helpless Move
The helpless move of the commander of the 222nd Japanese division
On Ye Qingshan's side, he was ready to receive the batch of torpedoes sent from Hong Kong.
While preparing to sink the Japanese destroyer Kirishima and another destroyer Akikaze.
At the Japanese 13th Division Headquarters, the Japanese division commander, Hagisu Rippei, also knew about it.
Last night, one of their destroyers was sunk by a mine on the Yangtze River.
"Baga, you're a jerk in the navy, you can't do anything good but always cause trouble.
The original hope was to have him come and cut off the Chinese defense line on the Yangtze River.
Now look at what they did.
Not only did they fail to help our army, but now they are dragging us down.
Especially our 13th Division, what have we done to offend anyone?
We have to support this group of naval idiots.
Now, the destroyer Hanefeng was sunk by a Chinese mine.
In this case, wouldn't our 13th Division also be implicated and held accountable?
Baka, we are so unlucky!"
The commander of the Japanese 13th Division, Hagisu Rippei, was extremely angry and dissatisfied at this time.
He felt that their division was very unlucky.
I was assigned the unfortunate task of supporting the trapped Japanese fleet by the Japanese prince.
It was clearly a mistake made by those idiots in the navy.
But it would also implicate their 13th Division and make them share the responsibility.
"Your Excellency, there is nothing that can be done about this matter now.
No one expected that those idiots in the navy were so stupid.
They have been in peace for too long. Colonel Miyazaki, that idiot, has seriously underestimated the Chinese and Ye Qingshan.
Directly on the Yangtze River, he fell into a trap set by the Chinese.
But now, the two remaining warships really cannot afford to have any more accidents.
Otherwise, both the navy and us will inevitably be punished by the headquarters and His Majesty."
The Japanese Chief of Staff Kameda Hisaichi was standing nearby, also with a helpless look on his face. He advised the old Japanese soldier Hagisu Rippei.
“I know, Chief of Staff.
I know everything you said.
But what can we do now?
In order to rescue this naval fleet, we even sent the 116th Regiment from the other side.
But, it still failed.
What else can we do now?
no solution anymore. "
The Japanese division commander shook his head.
This morning, when he learned that their 116th Regiment on the opposite bank had sent a battalion into the Yangtze River yesterday afternoon.
After more than ten hours of fierce fighting, they still failed to clear the mines on the Yangtze River and open up the waterway.
At that time, the old Japanese soldier Hagisu Rippei knew that their fleet on the Yangtze River was doomed.
No one has the ability to rescue them now.
At least, the possibility of success in military operations is slim.
Even now, Hagisu Rippei did not dare to report the news of the sinking of the Hanekaze destroyer to the Japanese prince.
"Division Commander, since we cannot win militarily.
We may adopt some other means as long as we can achieve our goal.
Just rescue the Kirishima and the remaining destroyer Akikaze.
what do you say? "
The Japanese Chief of Staff hinted at the Japanese division commander Hagisu Rippei and said.
"Um?
Do you have any ideas? "
The old Japanese soldier, Hagisu Rippei, was quite familiar with his chief of staff.
He is the kind of person who is insidious, treacherous and strategic.
Hagisu Rippei knew that his chief of staff must have come up with a new solution at this time.
It's just that this solution is not easy for him to say out loud.
"Kameta-kun, just speak directly.
When the time comes, whether it is feasible or not, I will not blame you."
The old Japanese soldier, Hagi Su Rippei, comforted the Japanese chief of staff and asked him to continue.
"Hi!
Mr. Division Commander, now we are unable to defeat the Chinese army commanded by Ye Qingshan in military operations.
Why don't we just send someone to contact Ye Qingshan quietly?
Let’s see if there’s a chance to persuade him to surrender…”
"absurd!
Do you think you can persuade this man to surrender?
I have read this man's resume before. He is the general in the Chinese army who hates us the most.
He will never be surrendered by us."
Before the Japanese chief of staff could finish his words, he was interrupted by the old Japanese named Hagisu Rippei.
"Commander, I know this.
I also know that the chances of persuading this man to surrender are slim, so I have a second plan.
Then why don't we negotiate with this person secretly?
As long as Ye Qingshan is willing, let our remaining two warships on the Yangtze River go.
We can meet some of their requirements.
For example, suspending the attack for a few days, allowing them to evacuate Nanjing, giving them a chance to survive, etc. ”
The Japanese chief of staff told us his plan.
"Can it be done?"
After hearing this, Hagisu, the commander of the Libing Division, was not satisfied.
This made him feel like he was bowing to the National Army and Ye Qingshan.
However, for the sake of the two trapped warships, he could only endure it.
"Whether it works or not, you have to try it to know!"
After hesitating for a moment, the old Japanese soldier Hagisu Rippei gritted his teeth and agreed.
The old devil Hagisu Rikibei certainly doesn't want to negotiate with Ye Qingshan, but he has no choice but to do so now.
“Send someone to handle this matter.
You have to choose reliable people, and don’t let anyone else know except you and me.”
The Japanese division commander warned cautiously.
The old Japanese soldier Hagisu Ribei was worried that they would secretly negotiate deals with the National Army and Ye Qingshan.
If other high-ranking Japanese generals or the domestic headquarters knew about this.
I will never forgive him.
However, for the sake of his own career prospects, the old devil Hagisu Rippei has no choice but to take this risk.
Not long after, the Japanese chief of staff selected a reliable Japanese officer who was also a Japanese who could speak Chinese.
He was sent out to secretly contact Ye Qingshan and try to reach this shady deal.
A few hours later, this Japanese second lieutenant was actually captured by Ye Qingshan's men.
He was brought to Ye Qingshan by the young martial artist.
"I heard that you are from the 13th Division and you are here to negotiate with me on behalf of your division commander?"
Ye Qingshan sat on a square chair, staring at the Japanese second lieutenant who came in, and asked with an indifferent expression.
Just now, Ye Qingshan received this report from Xiao Wusheng.
I still don't quite believe it.
However, the captured Japanese officer now really appeared in front of Ye Qingshan.
This made him unable to figure out what the Japanese 13th Division was up to.
I decided to keep watching.
"Hi, respected General Ye.
My division commander has also long heard of the general’s name.”
The Japanese second lieutenant opposite seemed very polite and continued to speak to Ye Qingshan.
"Haha, don't be so hypocritical.
I really want to kill your division commander right now.
I don’t want someone like him to come and admire me for a long time.”
"Okay, stop talking so much nonsense.
Just tell me what that old devil Hagisu Rikibei sent you here for.
Otherwise, I will have you dragged away and shot."
Ye Qingshan was too lazy to continue talking to this Japanese officer and asked directly.
