Anti-Japanese War: I have a million soldiers and you call me a division commander?

Chapter 436 General Sugiyama Moto’s first move: rebuilding the Mongolian garrison!

"The Chinese Nationalist Army and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army?"

Hearing General Sugiyama's words, the Japanese Emperor smiled even more contentedly. He stretched out his hand and raised it, signaling, "Go on!"

"Hi Yi!"

After receiving the signal from His Majesty the Emperor, General Sugi Sangen immediately began to explain his plan.

"My specific battle plan, to be precise, should be a three-step operation."

"The first step is to rebuild the Mongolian garrison."

"Your Majesty knows what's going on, so I won't explain."

"The second step is that we temporarily avoid fighting with the Chu Feng tribe and avoid conflict with them, which will buy us more time to develop."

"We are showing weakness to the enemy because it takes time to expand our forces and produce weapons and equipment. Therefore, it is not appropriate to engage in direct conflict with Chu Feng's troops for the time being."

The Japanese Emperor nodded at this explanation and said, "Don't worry, I understand. The military and the mainland won't put pressure on you unless the time is right."

Hearing the promise made by His Majesty the Emperor, General Sugi Sanmoto couldn't help but feel relieved. For General Sugi Sanmoto, the possible pressure from the country and the military was an unstable factor.

Now that His Majesty the Emperor has said that he will not put any pressure on him, he feels relieved.

General Sugiyama Moto said to the Japanese Emperor with a look of gratitude and excitement, "Hi, Your Majesty is wise!"

"Hahahaha!"

Listening to General Sugi Sanyuan's flattery, the Japanese emperor laughed happily, waved his hand gently, and said: "You continue to talk, I'm listening!"

"Hi Yi!"

General Sugiyama Moto's expression grew even more serious upon hearing this. He said, "Third, we want to completely annihilate the Jinsui Army and the Nationalist forces entrenched in southwest Shanxi and the Zhongtiao Mountains."

"At the same time, the Eighth Route Army will also become our main target of attack. Chu Feng is very strong, so we need to develop slowly."

"But we still have the strength to deal with the Chinese government, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, and the Eighth Route Army."

When saying this, General Shan Sanyuan's face was full of confidence.

It's not that General Sugi Sanyuan is arrogant, but no matter whether the Anti-Japanese War broke out or the Anti-Japanese War broke out in full swing, it has been proved in battle after battle that the Imperial Army always has the advantage when facing the Chinese troops.

Although the Huaxia government troops stationed in Zhongtiao Mountain or the Jinsui Army in southwestern Shanxi were not so easy to eliminate, they were much easier and simpler than the Chu Feng troops.

If there is no conflict with Chu Feng, then focus on attacking Zhongtiao Mountain. Although relying on the defense of Zhongtiao Mountain, no matter how strong the defense is, it is not perfect and can be taken down.

As for the Eighth Route Army, General Shan Sanyuan did not explain it separately.

The strategic position of the Eighth Route Army is still ranked last.

The highest one is naturally the Chu Feng Army, followed by the Huaxia National Government troops, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, and then the Eighth Route Army.

"..."

The conversation between the Japanese Emperor and General Sugi Sangen lasted for several hours until General Sugi Sangen left the palace.

The Japanese Emperor was very happy. It was obvious that he was very satisfied with the communication with General Sugi Sangen. He felt that he had found a good commander for the North China Front Army. The North China Front Army would definitely be right this time and would definitely give him a big surprise.

For a week, General Sugi Sanyuan conducted various communications within the country and made some preparations for taking office.

A week later, after finishing these matters, he boarded the ship and headed for China with the personal farewell of His Majesty the Emperor.

The next day, we set foot on Chinese soil at Qingdao Port.

A few days later, he arrived in Quancheng, the newly confirmed location of the North China Front Army Headquarters.

The army-level commanders who had received the news long ago, as well as the division and brigade commanders, as well as the high-ranking officials of the Imperial Army and the major traitors who had been identified after the Great Purge and Massacre, gathered in Quancheng.

Witnessed the appointment of General Sugiyama Hajime as the new commander of the North China Front Army.

The North China Front Army also welcomed its second commander.

"Gentlemen!"

Looking at the old Japanese soldiers, traitors, and high-ranking officials of the Imperial Army in the conference room, he said, "This time, I have been chosen by His Majesty the Emperor to serve as the commander of the North China Front Army."

"This makes me feel both honored and under great pressure."

"There are too many things and enemies in this vast land."

"To achieve Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity, we need your sincere cooperation."

Having said that, General Sugi Sanyuan looked at the group of traitors and said, "Especially you guys, His Majesty the Emperor believes in you, and I believe in you too."

"Before coming here, His Majesty the Emperor asked me to bring you a message, which is that he hopes you will work harder."

"After a while, a special envoy from His Majesty the Emperor will come and arrange for everyone to obtain citizenship of the Empire of Japan. They will also allow everyone to move their families to the Empire of Japan. Not just you, but your entire family."

"In addition, His Majesty the Emperor will grant you some imperial official or military positions based on your contributions."

"..."

General Sugiyama Gen's words made these traitors and puppet army high-ranking officials, who were originally a little nervous, breathe a sigh of relief, and their faces showed expressions of joy and excitement.

Each of them looked radiant, as if they had received a great reward, and each of them became more and more loyal to the Japanese.

The first day was spent in empty talk. Whether it was the Japanese devils, traitors, or high-ranking officials of the puppet army, they all expressed their satisfaction.

next day!

It was General Sugiyama Motobu who began to work. The first person he summoned was the new commander of the Mongolian Army. As for the commander of the Mongolian Army who escaped, he temporarily returned to his country to report on his work for a period of time.

The new commander of the Mongolian army was Lieutenant General Yamashita Tomoyuki.

"Yamashita-kun, you were originally going to be my deputy and become the chief of staff of the North China Front Army. However, I felt that the Mongolian Army had suffered a setback and needed a capable person to reorganize it. In the end, I decided on you. I hope you don't blame me."

After seeing Lieutenant General Yamashita Tomoyuki, General Sugiyama Motoshi said with a smile.

"Hahaha!"

Upon hearing General Sugi Sangen's words, Lieutenant General Yamashita Tomoyuki said, "Commander, thank you very much for your recommendation. Although I would also like to be by your side and learn from you, since you need me, I will naturally not hesitate."

Although the Chief of Staff of the North China Front Army was also in a high position and had great power, more people would choose to lead an army independently if they could, and Lieutenant General Yamashita Tomoyuki was no exception.

How to say something?

I would rather have a chicken head than a phoenix tail!

Lieutenant General Yamashita Tomoyuki is naturally no exception. He is a young man with great ambitions and expectations for his future. What kind of training can he get from being someone else's deputy?

Moreover, he was able to jump from brigade commander to commander of the Mongolian army, which is the commander of an army. This is a good thing that many people dare not even think about.

According to the development of history, Lieutenant General Yamashita Tomoyuki first served as the commander of the North China Front Army, then as the commander of the 4th Division of the Kwantung Army, and then returned to China to report on his work as the Director of Army Aviation and Chief of Aviation Headquarters.

When the Japanese began to move south, he went to Southeast Asia and earned the famous title of "Tiger of Malaya".

Now, we have improved so much at once and avoided many detours.

This is a typical example of reaching the pinnacle of life!
