Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The temporary supreme commander of the Western Manchuria region of the Kwantung Army, Lieutenant General Tosa, commander of the Third Army, who was already in desperate situation, sent a telegram to the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, General Nanjiro. The content was very simple, but the resentment contained in it was clearly revealed.  , "Report to your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, that the staff and more than 400,000 imperial soldiers are currently surrounded by independent division troops located in the Nuruerhu Mountains in Western Manchuria!"

    "The ground was filled with ferocious shelling by thousands of artillery pieces from the independent division's artillery, and the sky was filled with indiscriminate bombardment by more than a thousand independent division aircraft. The battlefield was filled with artillery fire, like a hell on earth. The staff knew that there was no chance of breaking through or surviving.  , but what I want to say is that in line with the bounden duty of a soldier of the Imperial Japanese Empire, the Ministry led more than 400,000 Kwantung Army soldiers and faithfully carried out your orders. For this alone, even if all of them are broken, they are worthy of the empire.  Military honor!¡±

    "It was Your Excellency's order that sent more than 400,000 Kwantung Army soldiers in Western Manchuria to the desperate place of death! However, even so, Tosa will still fight to the death with all Kwantung Army officers and soldiers until the last man,  It is the honor and bounden duty of every imperial soldier to be loyal to the Empire of Japan and His Majesty the Emperor, but the Ministry also implores the Commander-in-Chief to reflect on what he has done and whether he has a clear conscience."

    The telegram arrived at the Kwantung Army headquarters in Fengtian. General Nanjiro looked at the telegram from Lieutenant General Tosa. There was no expression on his dull face, but his heart felt like it was being torn apart. He read the telegram from Tosa and was full of emotions.  Resentment, but are all this caused by yourself?

    The War in Manchuria has now begun, and it is no longer within the control of the Commander-in-Chief of the Kwantung Army. His Majesty the Emperor and the headquarters have directly taken over the command of the battlefield. The order to order the Kwantung Army in Western Manchuria to break out in the direction of Liaoxi comes from His Majesty the Emperor.  He personally ordered it, and he was just an executor!

    General Nanjiro knows better, no matter who he is.  None of them could save the Kwantung Army from collapse, nor could they save the fact of the fall of Manchuria, not even His Majesty the Emperor. From the moment the German mediation failed and negotiations with Tang Qiuli failed, the outcome was already doomed!

    The more than 400,000 Kwantung Army soldiers in Western Manchuria are surrounded by hundreds of thousands of independent division troops.  The Seventh Army of the Kwantung Army in the western Liaoning region went north to support and seize the port of Huludao. It was like a whimsical joke. The Seventh Army was beaten back within a few dozen kilometers, leaving behind thousands of soldiers.  A corpse.  He had to turn back and respond to the Western Manchuria Kwantung Army's breakout operation, which completely failed.

    The operation to break through the Jinzhou Defense Line of the Independent Division and seize Huludao has not yet begun, but General Nanjiro believes that there is absolutely no possibility of success.  The direction of Jinzhou and Huludao is within the independent division, and the direction where the famous Feng Jiwu Corps is located. How can a well-equipped and well-trained army of hundreds of thousands of troops give the Western Liaoning Kwantung Army such an opportunity? Otherwise, it would not  There is a siege today!

    When the war in western Liaoning first broke out, five to six million Kwantung Army troops were deployed.  They stormed day and night, trying to break out of the siege, but they failed to break through the blockade of the Korean Railway Troops of the Independent Division and the Marine Corps, which had less than 100,000 troops. To this day, the encirclement of the Liaoxi Independent Division has become unbreakable, and any efforts are impossible to succeed!

    There are two battlefields in the mountainous areas of western Liaoning and western Manchuria.  It included all the main forces of the Kwantung Army in Manchuria, but the battlefield situation was different. Battles in the western Liaoning battlefield were frequent, but not intense.  The battlefield in the mountainous areas of Western Manchuria was full of blood and flesh. The Independent Division troops had great intentions of annihilating the more than 400,000 Kwantung Army troops in Western Manchuria in one fell swoop.

    But in General Nanjiro's view, the results were the same, but why on both battlefields, the independent division troops had the advantage to launch the final attack, but adopted different fighting methods, which puzzled General Nanjiro.  From my limited understanding of Tang Qiuli, this Chinese devil who was as ruthless as a wolf and as cunning as a fox must have a bigger conspiracy to surround the Kwantung Army troops in the western Liaoning region without attacking them?

    But what kind of conspiracy is it? General Nanjiro is unable to figure it out. Is it to attract him to send reinforcements to rescue the Kwantung Army troops in western Liaoning again, and to come to a encirclement point for reinforcements?  "Haha!" He smiled bitterly, "The military potential of the Japanese Empire in Manchuria has been completely destroyed by Umezu Yoshijiro. Where can I send troops? It is the huge Fengtian City where the headquarters of the Kwantung Army is located.  All in all, there are only more than 5,000 imperial soldiers, including more than 3,000 rear-line personnel who have never been on the battlefield! "

    But that China devil will always have a plan in the western Liaoning region. What is his plan?  Playing a game of cat and mouse?  Impossible, it was a battlefield filled with flesh and blood!

    "Report, Commander-in-Chief, General Matsuda, Chief of General Staff, wants to see you!" the adjutant's report interrupted General Nanjiro's hard thinking, "Oh, please come in, Chief of General Staff Matsuda!" His eyes were blank.  After receiving the order, I felt strange in my heart. It was not like this usually. When Matsuda came to my place, he did not need to announce it. What happened today?What's wrong? Is there any bad news?

    Lieutenant General Matsuda, Chief of General Staff of the Kwantung Army, pushed open the door and came in. His face was a little swollen and he had dark circles under his eyes from a severe lack of sleep. During this period, he worked harder than the Commander-in-Chief, General Nanjiro. Except for important matters, he had to ask for instructions.  In addition, every detail is pushed to oneself. Manchuria is in turmoil, and the Kwantung Army is facing the fate of annihilation. What good news is there? There are tormenting reports everywhere. The mental fatigue is far greater than the physical fatigue.  The fatigue is severe!

    "Matsuda-kun, just tell me if you have any situation. Anyway, I'm used to it. Manchuria is under pressure. What good things are comforting!" General Nanjiro said with a self-deprecating smile.

    Chief of General Matsuda took out a telegram from the folder, handed it to General Nanjiro, and said: "Commander-in-Chief, I have just received a notification from the Chief of General Staff of the base camp to come to Manchuria to pick up the evacuation ship of the Kwantung Army troops.  The fleet, under the cover of an escort fleet composed of forty-eight naval warships and an escort aircraft group composed of five aviation groups, had set off from the port of Miyazaki on the mainland Kyushu Island one day ago! "

    "Currently, the troop transport fleet has arrived in the South Yellow Sea and is expected to arrive in the waters near Huludao in Liaodong Bay in a week. The General Staff of the base camp ordered that the Kwantung Army in the western Liaoning area must hold on for more than a week and must capture  Huludao, use this place as a location to evacuate the Kwantung Army troops!¡±

    "What?" General Nanjiro suddenly burst into rage, "Capture Huludao? Are the people from the General Staff hiding in the office and giving orders on the map? Do they know the actual situation of the battlefield in western Liaoning? Do they know the actual situation in western Liaoning?  Are there many crises faced by the Kwantung Army in the region? The independent division has more than a million troops, surrounded by more than 500,000 Kwantung Army soldiers, and has been unable to break through repeatedly. What kind of Huludao is there to be captured? "

    "Seizing Huludao as a place to evacuate the Kwantung Army troops is simply unreasonable. Chief of Staff, please call back to the General Staff of the base camp immediately. The Liaoxi Kwantung Army Headquarters will stay in place for a week. There is still something to be done, but seizing Huludao  , is an absolutely impossible task!¡±

    Seeing the ferocious rage of General Nanjiro, Chief of Staff Matsuda sighed inwardly. The usually calm General finally lost his composure, "Commander-in-Chief, in the previous telegram, the General Staff already had such an order, and now  Again, I am afraid that the decision was made only after His Majesty the Emperor¡¯s strict orders. Isn¡¯t it inappropriate for you to call me back like this?¡± he reminded as tactfully as possible.

    "What's wrong? I can't watch countless Imperial soldiers make unnecessary sacrifices!" General Nanjiro continued to roar, "Go quickly and send my words to the General Staff of the base camp without changing them word for word, so that  Those guys sitting in the office giving orders, wake up and see clearly the actual situation on the battlefield in western Liaoning! "

    Seeing General Nanjiro's face distorted with anger, Chief of Staff Matsuda had no choice but to turn around silently and leave, "Wait, Matsuda-kun!" General Nanjiro suddenly stopped him.

    Chief of Staff Matsuda thought that the Commander-in-Chief had changed his mind and turned around hurriedly. However, he was horrified to see General Nanjiro's face, as ugly as ashes, and big beads of sweat appeared on his forehead!

    "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, are you feeling unwell? I'll call the military doctor right away!" Chief of Staff Matsuda thought that General Nanjiro suddenly had a heart attack, so he shouted in panic and was about to run out.

    "Matsuda-kun!" General Nanjiro called him with difficulty, and then said to himself: "I understand, I finally understand, why did that China devil attack the Kwantung Army troops in the western Liaoning area, even though they have the conditions to attack?  Surrounding but not attacking is indeed a good plan!¡±

    Chief of Staff Matsuda was confused. He didn¡¯t know what the general was mumbling to himself. ¡°Commander-in-Chief, what are you talking about?¡± he asked.

    General Nanjiro suddenly rushed to Chief of Staff Matsuda with extremely agile movements, his eyes flashed like ghost fire, gritted his teeth and said: "Chief of Staff Matsuda, the content of the telegram just now is invalid. Please record the following telegram. Kwantung Army  Commander-in-chief Nanjiro, as the supreme commander of the Manchurian battlefield, would like to report to His Majesty the Emperor that I have learned with horror that the China devil Tang Qiuli has a huge conspiracy hidden in the Liaoxi region of Manchuria!"

    "The goal of the conspiracy is to use the more than 500,000 Kwantung Army soldiers of the Japanese Empire in the western Liaoning region as bait to lure local troop carrier formations, escort fleets and aircraft fleets deep into the waters of Liaodong Bay. Afterwards, he used the occupation  Taking advantage of the right time and place, we intend to encircle and destroy our troop transport fleet, escort fleet and escort aircraft group!"

    "With great anxiety, I implore His Majesty the Emperor to immediately issue an order for the troop transport fleet, escort fleet, and escort aircraft group to return to the homeland immediately. Otherwise, the Empire will not be able to bear such heavy losses!"

    Seeing Lieutenant General Matsuda being raped by what he just saidStunned by these words, General Nanjiro shouted: "Matsuda, wake up! You personally supervise the confidential room and send this telegram directly to His Majesty the Emperor immediately! Hurry!"
