    Colonel Yu Deshui, director of the Intelligence Division of the Independent Division, has been very tempered in the past two days, but more importantly, he blames himself. The two main divisions of the Japanese army raided the Marine Corps in the Liaodong Peninsula, which exposed the intelligence division's various locations, especially  Regarding the weaknesses of the intelligence network in the Northeast, the focus is on large cities and railway lines, followed by county towns and some important towns. Relatively speaking, in rural and remote areas, the intelligence network has not yet been fully rolled out.

    It is a good thing that a problem has been exposed. With Yu Deshui's ability and the efficiency of the intelligence department, this loophole will be closed soon. However, the price is too high, so Yu Deshui cherishes a heart.  Feeling guilty, he personally sent a telegram to the division commander Tang Qiuli. The focus was on self-examination, and also on taking full responsibility for the intelligence system failure and requesting the division commander to severely punish him in accordance with regulations.

    Such a telegram is not easy to write. I don¡¯t have a very clear idea. I still don¡¯t understand what I want to express. However, I was interrupted by a sudden knock on the door. I had already told my secretary not to let anyone disturb me. Why did I just  .  .  .  .  .  .  Yu Deshui shouted angrily: "Come in!"

    The door of the office was pushed open, and the lieutenant colonel section chief of the Confidential Communications Section of the Intelligence Department came in while observing the expression on the director's face. He could not help but be cautious. They say that an honest person is more scary when he gets angry. He is always as calm as a piece of ice.  Director, the first volcanic eruption of rage really made the supervisors of these secondary departments tremble with fear. Among the officers who had just been trained, he was one of them!

    To be honest, the head of the Confidential Communications Section never wanted to disturb the director at this time. However, this telegram from the division commander was sent directly to the director, and it was sent with the highest-level password.  of.  He had to bite the bullet and come here.

    Seeing the dark clouds covering Yu Deshui's face, he was about to get angry. The head of the Confidential Communications Section hurriedly said: "Director, there is another telegram from the division commander, and it is sent directly to you!"

    "Read it!" Yu Deshui stood up from behind his desk and said.

    "Special order from the Division Commander, Yu Deshui, Director of the Intelligence Division. Quickly find out whether the Commander-in-Chief of the Kwantung Army has changed his position?" These were the words in the telegram, and the head of the Confidential Communications Section read it out neatly.

    "What?" Yu Deshui's face quickly turned livid, and his cheeks couldn't help trembling. This was a special order given to him by his division commander.  In other words, the division commander has judged that the commander-in-chief of Japan's Kwantung Army is not the original General Nanjiro, but someone else. Yu Deshui is aware of the Kwantung Army's raid on the Liaodong Peninsula.  This is another serious mistake by the intelligence service.

    Yu Deshui did not doubt the division commander's judgment. It was basically a fact for the division commander to come to this conclusion. However, the Intelligence Department was slow to respond in this regard. The supreme commander-in-chief who commanded nearly two million Kwantung Army was replaced.  For such a big incident, the Intelligence Department didn't get any information at all, and bad news came one after another.  He almost knocked him down and missed repeatedly. This was an unbearable blow for Yu Deshui!

    Yu Deshui's eyes were extremely complicated. He grabbed the telegram manuscript on the table and tore it into pieces with a few blows.  Squeezing out a few words through his teeth, he said, "Immediately order the Fengtian Intelligence Center Station to find out the identity of the current Commander-in-Chief of the Kwantung Army at any cost. Tell Ma Jiwu, the head of the Fengtian Intelligence Center Station, that I will be on the 6th this evening."  If he sees the real information before the deadline, he will return to Peiping immediately to report on his duties, and I will send someone else to take over his work! "

    Yu Deshui's tone was gloomy and cold. The lieutenant colonel section chief of the Confidential Communications Department couldn't help but shudder. After quickly repeating the message, under the gaze of the director's knife-like eyes, he almost fled to the corridor.  , he breathed a long sigh of relief, and secretly shouted in his heart: "Oh my God, the director's eyes can kill people!"

    There was only Yu Deshui in the office. He was not going to send any telegrams to the division commander asking for punishment. The Intelligence Department had made serious mistakes one after another, which could no longer be solved without punishment. Suddenly, he felt a silent exhaustion in his heart.  He thought, "After I find out the identity of the Commander-in-Chief of the Kwantung Army, I will personally rush to Kailu County in eastern Mongolia and apologize to the division commander in person. That's the only way to do it!" he thought.

    When everyone in the independent division was shocked by the Kwantung Army's sudden attack on the Liaodong Peninsula and took countermeasures, Lieutenant General Shinyuemon, the commander of the Japanese 107th Division, was not idle either. After the bombardment,  The 107th Division and the attached Kwantung Army troops of more than 20,000 troops launched a full-line attack on the Phoenix Mountain front line of the Sixth Brigade and part of the Fifth Brigade's position. Nearly 50,000 Japanese soldiers shouted and stood up.  The bright bayonets, at the first dawn of dawn in the eastern sky, spread across the lush vegetation of the Liaodong Peninsula, rushing up with fierce murderous intent.

    The charge of the Japanese soldiers did not encounter any counterattack by the independent division troops. In the eyes of the Japanese soldiers, the main position of Phoenix Mountain was as silent as a cemetery, which further stimulated the Japanese.With the ferocity of the soldiers, they rushed to the position of the independent division. There was no one on the position, except for the soil blown up by the shells, broken corpses buried under the soil, and guns, ammunition, and weapons and equipment everywhere.

    The light and heavy machine guns were blown to pieces by the shells. Boxes of ammunition were not even opened in time. The completely earthen trenches were almost razed to the ground. You can also see stains of blood from the trenches buried in the earth.  No matter from which angle you look at it, it is a scene of soldiers of the Independent Division fleeing in embarrassment after suffering heavy casualties from the shells of the Imperial Army.

    "Long live the Empire of Japan! Long live His Majesty the Emperor!" The Japanese soldiers who occupied the Phoenix Mountain position shouted loudly throughout the sky to celebrate their victory. In their hands, they held the helmets dropped by the soldiers of the 6th Brigade and picked them up on the  On the tip of the bayonet, he shouted and laughed wantonly. Nothing can inspire the pride of the imperial warriors more than fighting such a battle. He occupied the enemy's position without any casualties!

    Amidst the roar of the soldiers, Lieutenant General Shin Yuemon walked up to the main peak of the Phoenix Mountain position. He was not in an extremely excited state like ordinary soldiers, but was accompanied by a large group of staff officers.  , carefully inspected several positions of the Sixth Brigade, and even took off his white gloves, picked up some broken limbs of the Sixth Brigade soldiers from the mud blown up by the shells, and observed them carefully.

    The staff officers were all puzzled by the actions of the division commander, "What's your habit? What's so interesting about the broken limbs of the Chinese soldiers who were killed by artillery shells!" Lieutenant General Shin Yuuemon was puzzled by the staff officers.  His eyes showed no intention of explaining at all. He carefully observed the density and depth of the crater, with a satisfied smile on his lips.

    The commander of the Shinyuemon Division patted the dirt on his hands and said to the division chief of staff: "Order the troops to pursue immediately, do not stop, and do not care about the formation. All soldiers, pursue as quickly as possible. If  If my judgment is correct, the Independent Division troops are retreating and carrying a large number of wounded. They cannot move fast. Once they bite the retreating enemy, they must be wiped out on the spot. All troops must continue to pursue and capture Anton City before noon! "

    "Also, immediately send a telegram to Commander-in-Chief Umezu. Our 107th Division has successfully occupied the main position of Phoenix Mountain of the 6th Marine Brigade of the Independent Division. No troops were injured or killed. The enemy troops evacuated the position in a hurry. Now, the troops  A quick pursuit is underway and Anton will be completely captured before noon today!¡±

    At the same time, on the Gaizhou line in the north, the 109th Division of the Japanese Third Army and the attached Kwantung Army's more than 20,000 troops also launched an attack on the main position of the Fourth Brigade and part of the Fifth Brigade position.  The battle broke out across the entire front from Anton in the south to Gaizhou in the north. However, there was no fierce sound of gunfire, only the excited shouts of Japanese soldiers all over the mountains and plains!

    After receiving the battle reports from the two divisions on the southern and northern fronts, General Umezu Yoshijiro, who had always maintained the demeanor of an imperial soldier, couldn't help but laugh wildly with pride, "Yoxi! This guy Shinyuemon is really good.  I was not disappointed!¡±

    General Umezu Yoshijiro was indeed ecstatic. Under the crisis-ridden situation in Manchuria, he fought such a beautiful victory on the battlefield of the Liaodong Peninsula. He defeated three brigades of the Independent Division and Marine Corps without losing a single soldier.  The heavy damage and forcing it to retreat in embarrassment not only reversed the situation in Manchuria in one fell swoop, but also eliminated the threat to Fengtian's flanks. The most important thing was that he needed such a great victory.

    Now that Shinyuemon has given him such a victory, unlike General Umezu who is excited, Lieutenant General Matsuda Kenjiro, the Chief of General Staff of the Kwantung Army, and a group of senior staff officers are full of embarrassment and dumbfounded.  , wishing to find a crack in the ground to crawl in. The risky attack plan that he desperately blocked has achieved unprecedented success. Talking about words and ruthless facts is tantamount to fanning his own words.

    If I have to evaluate this victory, I can only say that Shinyuemon was extremely lucky. At the beginning, the troops of Lieutenant General Yokoyama Yoshihiko, commander of the Seventh Army and commander of the Liaodong Peninsula Military District, relied on favorable terrain  And the fortification system was mainly defending, but all the members of the Seventh Army were beaten to pieces. Now, Shinyuemon is the main attack, but he did not lose a single soldier. He severely damaged the independent division Marine Corps that swept across the Liaodong Peninsula and occupied  The position of the independent division on the line from Anton to Gaizhou.

    ?????????????Is the newly formed Third Army capable of fighting, or is the Kwantung Army's combat effectiveness insufficient?  Chief of Staff Matsuda had mixed feelings in his heart, including so-called envy, jealousy, and hatred. He was also worried that if Commander-in-Chief Umezu took this matter and tried to flatter him, he didn't need to say harsh words, just said a few words lightly, he would  Isn't this Chief of General Staff's prestige in the Kwantung Army Headquarters ruined and he can no longer hold his head high?

    ¡°Then he will become a laughing stock in the Kwantung Army, and he will have no face to stay. Fortunately, General Umezu does not have such boring thoughts. His thinking has gone beyond what he is now.The battlefield was thrown into the entire Liaodong Peninsula.
