Fengtian. Kwantung Army Headquarters.
After receiving the request for help telegram from Lieutenant General Okazaki, General Yamada Otsuzo and Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Yukio Kasahara had the same expression. Both of them were shocked, angry and worried.
What is surprising is that the national army is actually capable of encircling tens of thousands of Japanese Imperial Army troops. How many troops does the opponent have in the hinterland of Manchuria?
In their imagination, although the national army in the hinterland is quite noisy, in fact it does not have much strength, only tens of thousands of people at full strength.
But I never thought that the other side would have so many troops, and they would directly beat the 108th Division to death as soon as they took action. It was so surprising.
But compared to being shocked, they were more angry!
Kasahara Yukio is a relatively cautious person. He has fought with Li Guoyao's troops for several years, and he can be said to have a certain understanding of this unit.
In Yukio Kasahara¡¯s understanding, Li Guoyao¡¯s troops were neither powerful nor powerful, but there was one thing about this person that remained fresh in Yukio Kasahara¡¯s memory, and that was that either Li Guoyao¡¯s troops did not take action, and once they did, they would definitely be followed by a series of killing moves.
Because of this, after learning that the 108th Division defeated the national army outside Jilin City, he did not recommend Lieutenant General Okazaki to pursue it.
General Yamada Otozo is also a stable commander and does not like to fight uncertain battles. In addition, the rebellion in the hinterland is dazzling, so he also hopes that Lieutenant General Okazaki will not pursue blindly and stabilize the rear.
However, Lieutenant General Okazaki obviously did not stop listening to these words, and directly chased him with his troops, diving into the opponent's trap.
To put it mildly, this was Lieutenant General Okazaki¡¯s unauthorized action. To put it seriously, it was disobedience on the battlefield. If it were other units, the military commander would at least be dismissed from his post, and he would even have to go to a military court!
????????????????????????? But being angry, Yamada Otsuzo has nothing to do. The main reason is that Lieutenant General Okazaki has an unusual status. This person is considered to be an old man from the Kwantung Army, and his qualifications are there.
More importantly, from the perspective of the Kwantung Army, as long as it is beneficial to the war situation, disobedience is not a big deal, and it has even become a tradition of the Kwantung Army.
Yamada Otsuzo was not from the Kwantung Army system. He was just airborne. Therefore, he had only heard about various practices within the Kwantung Army before and had not seen it with his own eyes. But this time he saw it with his own eyes. The name of the Flower of the Imperial Army The head is indeed not free.
Recalling the instructions given to him by Prime Minister Lu and His Highness the Prince when he took office, Yamada Otsuzo really felt stressed.
In fact, the evaluations of the Kwantung Army, members of the Japanese army, are also very contradictory. Generally speaking, when grassroots officers and soldiers mention the Kwantung Army, their eyes shine with admiration.
"But when the senior officials talked about the Kwantung Army, they had a headache, and even felt a little disgusted.
No wonder, mainly because the Kwantung Army is really a mess that makes the Japanese military leaders love, hate and feel helpless.
How arrogant is the Kwantung Army? Sometimes even the Emperor of Japan cannot mobilize them casually!
In Japan, the Kwantung Army is known as the "Flower of the Imperial Army", but this force is different from the general Japanese army. They are not stationed in Japan, but in Japan's overseas colonies.
In 1904, Japan took advantage of the turbulent domestic situation in Tsarist Russia and occupied China's Northeastern region with the support of the United States and Britain. The banner at that time was to help China regain its territory, defeated Tsarist Russia's forces in the Far East, and won the Russo-Japanese War. victory.
"But after repelling the Tsarist Russian soldiers, the Japanese army had no intention of retreating. They directly stationed troops in the northeast and renamed the Liaodong Peninsula to Guandong Prefecture, and later established the Kwantung Army here.
Because the Kwantung Army was an important force used by Japan to defend against the Soviet Union, maintain North Korea, monitor China, and plunder the Northeast. Fighting was indispensable. Therefore, the Kwantung Army at that time were all veterans who had experienced hundreds of battles. The Emperor of Japan also attached great importance to this force. force.
Although the Kwantung Army was nominally under the direct control of the Emperor of Japan, because the Kwantung Army had been stationed in China for many years and the sky was high and the emperor was far away, the Kwantung Army obeyed the orders of the commander of the Kwantung Army more at that time.
The Emperor of Japan once discussed with Zhang Zuolin's discussion on the construction of railways in the Northeast, but the Kanto Army killed Zhang Zuolin in accordance with the order of his superiors.
For this reason, the base camp and the emperor reorganized the Kwantung Army's headquarters many times. The reason is that the Kwantung Army regarded itself as an independent kingdom and repeatedly disobeyed orders and disobeyed commands, making Japan's established policies or diplomatic statements issued by the government inconsistent with Japan's established policies or diplomatic statements issued by the government. Unable to achieve this, resulting in passivity both domestically and internationally.
In addition, KantoThe army also prides itself on the superiority of its foreign garrison and the success of its speculation on the "September 18th Incident". It is arrogant and arrogant, especially a few staff officers, who are domineering and control the command organs and troops, liaising with their superiors, left and right, and outside the military. All kinds of people with common ideas to implement their radical political ideas.
For example, after the "September 18th Incident", the Japanese Army General Staff Headquarters sent its intelligence chief, Major General Toranosuke Hashimoto, to Shenyang to convey the Chief of Staff's instructions that the Kwantung Army's actions must be considered in terms of Japan's national policy and that major issues must be reported in advance. However, the military staff officers believed that the General Staff Headquarters was timid and afraid of getting into trouble, so they actually called Hashimoto Toranosuke Hashimoto Nekosuke, which greatly stimulated the top brass in Japan.
What made the Japanese General Staff Headquarters even more dissatisfied was that the Kwantung Army sent its air force to bomb Jinzhou without permission. At the same time, it also refused to carry out the combat instructions in the Nenjiang River Bridge area and the order to quickly withdraw after entering Qiqihar. As a result, Japan has received a lot of criticism internationally.
The Japanese base camp hopes to eradicate this resistance and arbitrary style by reorganizing its headquarters.
But the reorganization of the Kwantung Army headquarters at the base camp could not solve the problem at all. In the end, part of the Kwantung Army had to be transferred out of Manchuria and the Mongolian Garrison Army was established. The purpose was also to weaken the Kwantung Army.
However, the matter still cannot be fundamentally resolved, which is why Lieutenant General Okazaki is disobeying orders and acting without permission on the battlefield.
It is not a pity to die for a small army lieutenant general, but Okazaki commanded a complete infantry division and two brigades, including a tank brigade. Once it was wiped out, the consequences would be disastrous.
Not only Jilin City cannot be defended, but even Xinjing, which is very close at hand, may be threatened.
After losing his temper, Yamada Otozo slumped down on his chair, looking a little decadent and helpless.
"Kasahara-kun, what do you think we should do now?"
Kasahara Yukio said solemnly: "Your Excellency Commander, based on my personal understanding of Li Guoyao, this person is a treacherous hungry wolf. He either lurks in silence and pretends to be harmless to humans and animals. However, once he takes action, he will definitely cause harm to the enemy. There will be no mercy until death!"
"You mean there is a possibility that Okazaki's troops will be wiped out?"
"It's not just possible, it's a high probability event that Okazaki's troops will be wiped out!"
"Nani, are you sure?"
"Hai, this is how you know Li Guoyao from your humble position!"
"Is there any remedy?"
"What we can do now is to follow Okazaki-kun's request and immediately send aviation troops to the battlefield to reinforce them. In addition, we urge the two Imperial Army infantry brigades to rush to the scene as soon as possible and join Okazaki's headquarters! But compared to Okazaki's command, As a subordinate of Saki, I am more concerned about the safety of Xinjing in this humble position!" Kasahara Yukio said.
"Xinjing?"
"Hey, once Okazaki's troops are completely wiped out, it will be impossible to defend Jilin City. Even if Okazaki's troops successfully break through, the troops will inevitably suffer heavy losses, and it will be difficult to defend Jilin."
Then Kasahara Yukio continued: "Jilin is the gateway to Xinjing. The distance between the two places is only more than 100 kilometers. Even if the infantry marches quickly, it can be reached in one day. Judging from the imperial army's garrison in Xinjing, the safety of Xinjing The situation is worrying!¡±
"Youxi, Kasahara-kun is very considerate, but our troops are stretched thin and we don't have many troops to reinforce the direction of Xinjing!"
"Your Excellency, Commander, I suggest that the troops on the front line of Shanhaiguan be transferred northward. If you take the train, they can reach Xinjing in two days at most. At the same time, you order the North Korean troops to speed up and defeat the troops facing them as soon as possible, and fight with Jilin The city defenders gather together!¡±
"Youxi, soldiers are valuable and quick, please convey the order!"
"Hai!"
However, before Yukio Kasahara could leave, the phone on General Yamada Otozo¡¯s desk rang (Remember this website¡¯s website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
