Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Colonel Han Guangqi, Chief of Staff of the North China Field Corps, absolutely did not believe what his commander just said. He believed that as long as he came up with a way to stimulate the Kwantung Army troops on the opposite side to take action, he would dream of winning the honor of the first battle to regain Northeast China.  The commander will definitely issue a full-line attack order without hesitation, and will also provide an explanation to the division commander afterwards.

    "Commander, you must not act rashly! Chief of Staff Zhao also emphasized in the telegram that all participating troops should overcome their impetuosity and eagerness to fight, and strictly implement the orders of the division commander! It seems to me that it is said specifically to you.  !" Han Guangqi warned sternly.

    Yuan Jinghao became impatient, "Chief of Staff, you underestimate me, Yuan Jinghao. I have been a soldier for so many years and I still don't understand this. Go away! Go talk to those brigade commanders who are so anxious that they go to bed."  , convey the command from the division commander! The brigade commanders all like to hear what you say!" He pushed and coaxed Han Guangqi out of the shelter.

    Then, Yuan Jinghao held up his binoculars and looked at the opposite side, which had no lights at all. It was like a cemetery and was filled with dead silence and Japanese military positions. He muttered: "Damn it! The little devil is really shrinking, you."  Say, can there be some movement?"

    It's not that the Kwantung Army has no movement, but that it hasn't received orders from the headquarters. Although night has fallen, the lights in the Kwantung Army headquarters building in Fengtian City are still brightly lit. From time to time, there are reports of senior officers of the Eastern Army, dusty and dusty.  They jumped out of the car with a serious face and hurried into the headquarters building. They had just received the order from the staff and immediately rushed to the headquarters to attend an emergency military meeting!

    On the top floor of the building, in an inconspicuous office, the Commander-in-Chief of the Kwantung Army, General Nanjiro, and the Chief of Staff, Lieutenant General Matsuda Kenjiro, with serious faces, had been discussing for a long time, although the order to convene an emergency military meeting was issued.  Order.  But before the meeting begins, a clear response to the war situation in the Liaodong Peninsula must be formulated. However, this is obviously a very difficult problem.

    Regarding the sudden action of the independent division aviation to bomb the Korean Peninsula and the Liaodong Peninsula, General Nanjiro.  There are still many doubts in my mind. The Korean Peninsula should not be ignored, but the Liaodong Peninsula is the Kwantung Army's defense area. Although it is located in southern Manchuria, it has extremely important geographical and military value.

    The two men discussed it for a long time with the chief of staff.  The doubts in his heart not only did not decrease, but actually increased. General Nanjiro found himself in a dilemma, "Matsuda-kun, I am still not sure about the direction of the attack of that Chinese devil Tang Qiuli. Where is it? Liaodong Peninsula.  Judging from the large-scale bombing, it seems very possible, but what is the intention of Chen Bing's three independent divisions on the border of Manchuria?" General Nanjiro rubbed his swollen temples and said distressedly.

    General Nanjiro doesn¡¯t need to know much about the head of Chief of Staff Matsuda, he is already the commander.  He didn't know how many times he asked himself this question, but he insisted on his own judgment. The independent division troops would inevitably cross the Bohai Strait and land on the Liaodong Peninsula. "Commander, I think humbly. There is no need to hesitate anymore at this moment, that China devil."  The chosen direction of attack is undoubtedly the Liaodong Peninsula, and the independent division troops on the Manchurian border are stationed in order to contain the Kwantung Army troops!" Chief of Staff Matsuda said succinctly.

    "Moreover, the main forces of the Kwantung Army are confronting the independent divisions in three different directions on the Manchurian border. In the Liaodong Peninsula, the imperial army's garrison strength is very weak. Commander, the only measure we have to take now is to do everything possible,  We don't have enough time to send more troops to the Liaodong Peninsula. Maybe tomorrow, a large number of independent division troops will cross the Bohai Strait and attack the Liaodong Peninsula!" Chief of Staff Matsuda persuaded with earnest words.

    General Nanjiro could not fail to see such a simple battle situation. Just because it was simple, it made him even more wary. The Chinese devil Tang Qiuli, who is known for his insidiousness and cunning, would adopt such a simple layout?  On the day of the bombing of the Liaodong Peninsula, the troops of the independent division were not ordered to take the opportunity to cross the Bohai Strait, but only bombing and air raids were carried out, and the landing troops stood still. This could not help but make me suspicious.

    General Nanjiro knew exactly what kind of heavy damage the Kwantung Army aviation airfields in the Liaodong Peninsula had suffered. At least half of the combat aircraft of the Kwantung Army aviation had been destroyed. None of them could threaten the independent division in the Bohai Sea.  Factors in the safety of the troops crossing the sea, then the question arises. According to the report of the Liaodong Peninsula garrison and the intelligence from the intelligence department, the troops of the independent division did not conduct a cross-sea attack?

    Moreover, General Nanjiro still firmly believed that the main direction of Tang Qiuli's attack was still in the western Liaoning region of Manchuria, the western Manchurian region and the northwest border line. Large-scale troops would cross the sea and land on three key points, which would require huge transportation.  Fleet, why would this Chinese devil choose to stay far away?

    Make yourself more comfortableWhat I couldn't figure out or understand was that Chen Bing's three independent divisions on the Manchurian border showed no signs of attack. The battlefield was as silent as ever. What was Tang Qiuli waiting for?

    The complicated battlefield situation almost exhausted General Nanjiro's efforts. His biggest distress came from two aspects. On the one hand, he was unable to judge Tang Qiuli's next move. On the other hand, it was the lack of troops. If he  The troops in hand are still the Kwantung Army before the Far East Campaign. Whether it is defending the key points on the Manchurian land border or defending the Liaodong Peninsula, there will be no problem. Even if the China devil tries all his tricks, what should he fear?

    General Nanjiro's face was uncertain. Looking in the eyes of Chief of Staff Matsuda, he understood that his words did not convince the commander to make up his mind as soon as possible and try every means to quickly block the big hole in the Liaodong Peninsula. Then you will know.  Shut up, as the chief of staff, I have fulfilled my responsibilities and have said everything that needs to be said. As for the next move of the Kwantung Army, that is a matter for General Nanjiro.

    It is strange to say that as soon as Chief of Staff Matsuda shut up, the air in the office suddenly solidified, with unbearable depression. General Nanjiro, who was struggling fiercely in his heart, realized this and looked at it silently.  An old subordinate who had followed him for many years had a look of pain in his eyes.

    General Nanjiro sighed and said in a tired tone: "Matsuda-kun, I know what you mean. Rapidly increasing the defense of the Liaodong Peninsula is a top priority. After all, various signs indicate that the independent division troops are most likely to land there, but  , Matsuda-kun, have you ever considered that all the troops of the Kwantung Army are confronting the three independent divisions on the border of Manchuria! "

    Seeing Chief of Staff Yamada listening to his words attentively, General Nanjiro continued: "The current situation is that we cannot mobilize troops from any direction. The lack of troops is our biggest difficulty at present. The Liaodong Peninsula was bombed by the independent division aviation.  Analyzing one thing at a time, can we think about it the other way round? This is a trap set by Tang Qiuli to make us think that his attack direction is the Liaodong Peninsula, forcing us to send reinforcements from the direction of the Manchurian border! "

    "Then, we take advantage of the opportunity when our empire's imperial army reinforces the Liaodong Peninsula and creates a lack of troops in a certain direction to launch an attack. If so, an attack from any direction on the Manchurian border will cut off the entire territory of Manchuria as a whole and use that China devil  With his military tactics and level of cunning, this possibility exists! Matsuda-kun, the stakes are so high that a single move can affect everything, so I have to be careful!"

    Nanjiro's words were quite lamentable. There are many difficulties, the most difficult of which is the current war situation in Manchuria. Chief of Staff Matsuda was moved, "Commander, please forgive me for considering the issue too one-sided. However, the defense of the Liaodong Peninsula  , After all, it is the biggest weak link of the Imperial Kwantung Army. Once, once the independent division troops really cross the sea and land, they will pose a threat to us no less than any other direction. Regarding this, Commander, please have a foolproof plan!" He said sincerely!  said.

    "A foolproof strategy? - It's easier said than done. We don't have any soldiers, and we need to block holes everywhere!" General Nanjiro smiled bitterly in his heart, "Let's go, Matsuda-kun, it's time for the military meeting!" In fact, after several hours of discussion,  The two Kwantung Army bosses did not come up with any feasible way to deal with the current situation. However, the commanders who were recruited urgently could not hang out in the conference room and had to go to the meeting venue.

    Chief of Staff Matsuda turned sideways and landed half of General Nanjiro's body. There was no space in his heart at all, and he was completely blocked. What troubled him was that in the emergency military meeting, General Nanjiro and himself were faced with these things.  What should the senior generals of the Kwantung Army say?

    The two heads of the Kwantung Army followed each other one after another, both filled with thoughts, as they walked down the long corridor with heavy and difficult steps. The dim lights in the corridor made the two figures appear illusive and dark.

    As soon as he entered the conference room, facing nearly a hundred senior Kwantung Army generals, each with thoughtful and complicated eyes, General Nanjiro went straight to the topic without saying a word, "Gentlemen, at this critical moment, please summon everyone to the headquarters.  The meeting is held because our Kwantung Army is about to face a major crisis. Mr. Hengshan, tell us about the current situation on the Liaodong Peninsula, of course, what is the defensive strength of the Imperial Kwantung Army? "

    General Nanjiro directly named him. The one he named was Lieutenant General Yokoyama Yoshihiko, the commander of the Seventh Army of the Kwantung Army and the commander of the Liaodong Peninsula Military Area. He came from the war zone and should know the situation best. In fact, Lieutenant General Yokoyama was very important in this critical situation.  At that moment, all the airports in his military area were bombed into ruins, and when the troops were panicking, the headquarters ordered them to fly all the way from the Liaodong Peninsula to Fengtian to hold some kind of military meeting. In my heart, I was quite unhappy.  Very satisfied.

    On the incoming plane, Lieutenant General Hengshan was still thinking about how to ask the Commander-in-Chief to increase troops in the Liaodong Peninsula, but he did not expect that the Commander-in-Chief would directly point his finger at him as soon as he came up?
