In this battle, more than [-] Japanese soldiers stationed in Xinjing City were basically wiped out, including more than [-] new militia troops raised by Japanese soldiers.

Beiyuan Qiuye was also beaten to death by angry Chinese people in this battle... After the Eighth Route Army invaded the city, the Chinese people launched an uprising.

This can be said to be a side effect of Kitahara Akiha's strategy.

Everything always has two sides, there are pros and cons.

Kitahara Akiba's strategy of "pulling one gang to fight another" is good. It can keep the non-Chinese people close to him, but at the same time, it also allows the Chinese people to see the true face of the Japanese. Some people were still hesitant in the middle. , but after the massacre, they will no longer have illusions about the Japanese.

Therefore, when the Eighth Route Army invaded Xinjing and gained the upper hand, an uprising among the Chinese people was inevitable.

They first broke through the barracks of the puppet army and seized a batch of equipment, and then rushed into Kitahara Akiba's headquarters with these equipment and the crowd.

At that time, Beiyuan Qiuji was still tensely commanding the troops to resist the attack of the Eighth Route Army. When he heard gunshots outside the headquarters, he thought that the Eighth Route Army had already hit here, and hurriedly took a few guards to escape through the secret door.

But when he escaped from the exit, Kithara Qiuye understood the situation: it was not the Eighth Route Army that was invading but civilians, because the people he saw were holding various tools such as wooden sticks and wrenches in their hands. No matter how poorly equipped the Eighth Route Army was, It will be as bad as this.

The people were still looking for Beiyuan Qiuye everywhere, and suddenly saw him on the street, so they surrounded him with a greeting.

Kitahara Akiha immediately drew out his samurai sword and shouted sharply, but these people no longer retreated as usual, but instead advanced step by step with fierce looks on their eyes.

The Japanese guards hurriedly raised their guns and fired, but the situation worsened as soon as the gunfire rang out. The people shouted and rushed forward, surrounding the Japanese and beating them up... After a few blows, Kitahara Akiba and his guards were beaten to a bloody pulp. There is only outgoing air and no incoming air.

These devils are used to being arrogant. They didn't even consider that the bolt-action rifles in their hands couldn't stop so many civilians.

However, this should be said to be the awakening of the people's consciousness of resistance.

Because before that, the devils could suppress all the people by killing a few early birds.

The fighting continued into the night.

In fact, the winner was decided by noon. The Eighth Route Army used tanks to capture the puppet Manchukuo Military and Political Department, the last stronghold held by the Japanese.

It took quite some time to attack the Manchukuo Military and Administrative Department, because the Japanese planned to control Xinjing for a long time, and their buildings were very solid.

For example, the Puppet Manchukuo Ministry of Justice, the Puppet Manchukuo Agricultural Development Department, the Puppet Manchukuo Ministry of Culture and Education, etc. These buildings are all made of reinforced concrete. If you hit them with a pickaxe, they will only be a white spot, and a small piece will be broken when a tank hits them.

The Japanese used machine gun fire to block the enemy inside, and occasionally fired a few grenade rounds in the yard before retreating. The Eighth Route Army was unable to get close for a while.

Later, they brought in rocket launchers and fired incendiary bombs directly inside to capture it.

The rest of the time was spent clearing out the remaining enemies in the city, including the Japanese militiamen who were hiding.

The Japanese militiamen now put down their weapons and disguised themselves as innocent people, but of course the Chinese people who were persecuted by them would not agree and picked them out one by one.

So the battle in Xinjing ended in just one day. During this period, the Japanese did send reinforcements, but the reinforcements were repulsed before they even got close to Xinjing and could not play any role other than increasing casualties.

After Xinjing was recaptured by the Eighth Route Army, the entire Kwantung Army was in shock.

Although most people in the Kwantung Army knew that the fall of Xinjing was inevitable...if the reinforcements could not enter Xinjing and were surrounded, it would be a matter of time.

But on the day when Xinjing really fell, many devils still couldn't accept it.

The reason is not only because Xinjing is the capital of the "Puppet Manchukuo", but also because Xinjing is located in the center of Northeast China and controls the transportation center of the Kwantung Army. From here, the Eighth Route Army can cut the Kwantung Army's fortress across the middle and complete its complete fortifications. Divide into two.

On the other hand, even if Xinjing is directly above the Bangzi border, the Japanese reinforcements coming from the direction of Bangzi will be blocked to the south by Xinjing and unable to go north.After Umezu Yoshijiro learned the information about the fall of Xinjing, he slumped in his chair and couldn't breathe for a long time.

The chief of staff did not dare to speak. He was worried about getting into trouble and being scolded by Umezu Meijiro.

But after a while, seeing that Umezu Yoshijiro was still silent, the chief of staff had no choice but to say: "Your Excellency, General, unless our army can recapture Xinjing, otherwise..."

The chief of staff hesitated to speak, he didn't dare to say the following words.

However, Umezu Yoshijiro understood clearly that if Xinjing could not be recaptured, the Eighth Route Army would use Xinjing as its forward base to continue attacking eastward. Once it reached Mudanjiang, the connection between the Kwantung Army and Bangzi would be completely severed.

At that time, the Kwantung Army will have millions of furry bears in the north and hundreds of thousands of cutting-edge Eighth Route Army troops in the south. Unless they can go to heaven and earth, they will not be able to get out of this land.

Therefore, what the chief of staff wants to say is: "If we cannot recapture Xinjing, we should make a decision early to evacuate Manchukuo. There may be a way out to retreat to Bangzi!"

However, Umezu Yoshijiro was not willing to admit defeat like this.

But what's the use of not admitting defeat?

Can Xinjing be recaptured?

It is simply impossible... The last counterattack has consumed too much fuel of the Kwantung Army. The Kwantung Army no longer has fighter planes and tanks that can fly to the front line for combat!

Just when Umezu Yoshijiro hesitated, the messenger came in and handed over a telegram.

The chief of staff took a look at the telegram, and his face became very ugly in an instant.

"What did you say?" Umezu Meijiro acted calmly.

At this time, he felt hopeless, so he didn't really believe that there was worse information.

"Tokyo..." the chief of staff said, "order us to hold on!"

Umezu Meijiro said "Yeah".

This was bad news for the chief of staff who wanted to retreat, but not for Yoshijiro Umezu.

After a pause, Umezu Meijiro asked again: "So, what are their plans?"

"They say that naval and aviation reinforcements will be sent!" The chief of staff replied: "They want us to fight to the last moment!"

Umezu Meijiro let out a long sigh. He could actually understand Tokyo's order.

It is hopeless for the combined imperial fleet to defeat Ying Jiang at sea or force him to negotiate, so the empire has no choice but to develop "Manchukuo" to deal with Ying Jiang here.

If even "Manchuria" is lost, then the empire really has no way out.

Therefore, from a strategic point of view, the Kwantung Army cannot withdraw, even if it fights to the end.

However, the navy and aviation of the empire...do they still have the ability to reinforce the Kwantung Army?
This is especially true for aviation!
Even if the aviation can fly to the Kwantung Army's control area, the point is that the Kwantung Army has no fuel.

What does this mean to the Kwantung Army?
