Chapter 305, awarding honors, buying people's hearts(1/2)
Wen County, located outside Zhongtiao Mountain in southern Shanxi, was a peripheral county that the Japanese army seized from the Central Army several months ago.
There is a road leading to Zhongtiao Mountain in this county, and its geographical location is extremely important, so the Japanese army is heavily guarding it here.
With the end of the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain, the Japanese army could not help but stop and rest and reward them according to their merits.
Yamashita Toshihide was promoted by his extraordinary achievements. He went to the top of the captain from the captain and directly sat on the throne of the captain of the regiment.
The military rank also changed from Zhongjia to Colonel.
Standing in front of the mirror and touching the brand new epaulette, his eyes were filled with pride.
A brigade defeated the Central Army and the division. At the beginning of the war, the Imperial Army was extremely rare.
The extraordinary promotion also shows that the superiors are optimistic about him.
Yamashita Toshisu hummed a little tune, becoming more and more fascinated by herself in the mirror.
"Yamashita, you can do it."
"You'll be a hero."
"To make more contributions to His Majesty the Emperor, one day you will definitely become a general."
The knock on the door interrupted his narcissism.
Yamashita Toshihide snorted dissatisfiedly: "Come in."
A second lieutenant officer came in: "Report to the commander, Liu Xiongfei of the 24th Division, is already waiting outside."
"He, I can't be neglected." Yamashita Toshihide tidied up her collar and put on her commanding knife, full of style.
In the spacious yard, two groups of people stood in a pile.
On one side are energetic Japanese soldiers, generally not as tall as guns, but they are all red and full of energy.
On the other side are the Imperial Army, who have no standing prime minister. They are generally taller, but long-term malnutrition leads to pale and thin skin.
It's far worse than the Japanese soldiers.
Two officers stood together and muttered.
"Teacher, the battle has been over. What are the Japanese asking us to come?"
"I don't know that your RMY Japanese don't take us seriously at all. In a word, our brothers have to come."
The one who cursed was Liu Xiongfei, the commander of the 24th Division.
He turned out to be a national army, and he defected to the Japanese just to make a living.
But after getting on the pirate ship, they were unable to let them go.
During the battle of Zhongtiao Mountain, their 24th Division was also transferred to participate in the battle. Although there were not many casualties at all, they could turn the gun to hit their own people.
You are from the RMB, Chongqing knows, and you may settle the accounts in the future.
When Liu Xiongfei thought of this, he felt even worse. He cursed several times in his heart: "Your RMB Japanese devil!"
Yamashita Toshihide was surrounded by a group of Japanese officers and appeared slowly.
"Liu Xiongfei, I have long admired the name of Daqi."
The colonel should be the colonel, but his style is even more powerful than a major general Liu Xiongfei.
Liu Xiongfei is really unable to show off his character when he is a dog for others.
He stepped forward and smiled: "I dare not, I dare not, I only have a few reputations, how can I compare to you, Taijun, you, down the mountain!
You led a brigade and defeated a division. Now you are the commander of the regiment, and you can match three or four divisions. No one in the whole Shanxi knows your reputation."
Yamashita Toshimi had a stern face, but the curve of the corners of his mouth still betrayed him.
It's really good to flatter.
He is most proud of his squadron to defeat another division.
I never get tired of listening.
From the bottom of his heart, Toshihide Yamashita has recognized this Imperial Army general who is about to cooperate with him and implement the public security rectification plan.
However, he still had some questions.
What is this person’s attitude towards the Eighth Route Army and what about the Central Army?
Yamashita Toshihide asked, "Jun Liu, you have participated in the battle ahead,? Your 24th Division performed well. How do you feel when you hold a gun to your previous friendly troops?"
Liu Xiongfei had no expression on his face, and he was wearing small round sunglasses, so he couldn't see what his emotions were in his eyes.
silence……
Yamashita Toshisu chuckled twice: "Liu Jun, if it is inconvenient, you don't need to answer. Because we value Liu Jun's actions more."
Liu Xiongfei understood that the Japanese said they didn’t need it, but they just needed it the most.
It would be nonsense to be a chaste woman who is actually a reserved woman who pretends to be chaste and strong.
He is not that kind of person.
Show loyalty if you are decisive.
"Reporting to the Colonel, it was accused that the Chinese had fought for thousands of years, and the Imperial Army came to save the Chinese.
Therefore, Bei Zhi would rather follow the imperial army to fight on the battlefield than live a day under the Chinese people.
Be loyal to the imperial army, the sea will be destroyed and the rocks will not change its heart!
If you cut into pieces, you will not change your ambition!!”
"Okay!" Yamashita Toshihide slapped her thigh and a smile appeared on her face.
This enlightenment of a Chinese person is enough to show his loyalty to the Imperial Army and to the Empire.
If there are more people like this, why worry about not being able to build a *****.
Yamashita Toshihide picked up a medal from the tray.
A Zhongsap behind him took two steps forward and whispered: "Colonel, this is a warrior medal."
Yamashita Toshihide raised his hand and signaled his subordinates to shut up.
He introduced to Liu Feixiong: "Jun Liu, this is the Samurai Medal awarded to the Japanese Imperial Army by His Majesty the Emperor.
Only soldiers who are bravest and who have made outstanding military achievements for the Yamato nation are qualified to obtain it.
Now, I will give you this medal.”
Several Japanese officers with samurai medals on their chests were about to breathe in their eyes.
What qualifications does a Chinese have to wear His Majesty the Emperor and award the medal to the bravest warrior?!
They feel embarrassed to wear the same medal as such people.
Yamashita Toshihide personally put it on him.
Liu Xiongfei pressed his trouser legs hard, wiped off the sweat from his palms, and squeezed his thighs hard.
"Sir, I, Liu Xiongfei, swears to be loyal to the Japanese Emperor! swears to be loyal to the Japanese Emperor Army!
It's broken into pieces, and I'm not refusing to do anything!"
Yamashita Toshihide was stunned for a moment, and he was numb.
This Liu Xiongfei is so good at speaking and showing loyalty.
Yamashita Toshisu patted his shoulder: "Liu Jun, I already know your loyalty to the Imperial Army."
He turned his head and said to many officers: "Jun Liu, loyal to the Great Japanese Empire, is a friend of the Imperial Army. He will be more polite to Liu Jun in the future."
"Hi!"
Many officers looked down on Liu Xiongfei, but because of the majesty of their superiors, they agreed very happily.
Liu Xiongfei knew in his heart that the colonel at the foot of the mountain was making a show for him.
But he was still very moved.
Although he is a general, he has thousands of troops under his command. The Japanese still don’t regard him as their own, and any officer will look at him with his nostrils.
He didn't dare to offend others, he had to offer it as a master.
Colonel Yamashita treated him equally. What is this? This is respect!
Not only does he give him dignity, but he also supports him, he really means to treat him as his own person.
Liu Xiongfei once again expressed his loyalty: "Sir, I, Liu Xiongfei, swear to be loyal to the Imperial Army to the death. If you told me to go east, I dare not go west, if you told me to beat dogs, I dare not chase chickens."
This time, it is full of personal allegiance.
If we were to be ordered by Toshihide at the foot of the mountain before, it was because the twenty-fourth was affiliated with the imperial army system, and he would obey the orders of whoever his superiors asked him to command him.
Now, it is more because Yamashita Toshihide has been recognized by him. Even if he has no direct affiliation, he will serve him.
Yamashita Toshihide nodded happily, his closeness and win over was to win people's hearts.
Liu Xiongfei worked hard for the Imperial Army, gave honor and had to give some practical benefits.
