Age of Rebirth

Chapter 2597

Speaking of which, with the Northeast war situation like a broken ship with leaks everywhere, General Umezu Yoshijiro, the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, is difficult enough now, and his intestines are almost broken. The Kwantung Army's troops in Manchuria are divided into three parts. In the west of Liaoning, one in Ximan, and the last piece on the northwestern border, the more than 50 troops in Liaoxi were surrounded by independent divisions, and the more than 40 troops in Ximan were also surrounded by front and rear, and they all faced the situation of being surrounded. .

The border guards have a strength of nearly 20 troops, which is a dead game, and they can't do their jobs no matter what, and they don't worry about it. General Meijin is satisfied if he can keep Ximan and Liaoxi. He had no idea what the final outcome would be for the troops that got up, and the Kwantung Army troops in the direction of Ximan were also in the same predicament.

Matsuda's worry is not unreasonable. If we say that the blocking force of the independent division on the front line from Siping to Shuangliao before, in my own judgment, it will not exceed 8 or 40 troops. However, as the independent division with four mechanized infantry brigades and two tank brigades has reached the line from Siping to Shuangliao, and the independent division's air force has air supremacy, this The blocking line that prevented the Kwantung Army in the Ximan area from withdrawing to Xinjing became indestructible.

As far as the current battle situation in western Manchuria is concerned, the Kwantung Army troops in western Liaoning and Western Manchuria are in a similar situation, and they all need to open channels from the outside. However, do you have so many troops in your hands?Obviously, no.Just look at the Liaoxi Assault Corps under his command, which almost wiped out all the Japanese in Fengtian and the surrounding areas.General Meijin felt a throbbing pain in his heart, and his eyes turned black from the pain.

It's not that General Meijin doesn't want to use the same method to solve the problem in the direction of Ximan, but the key now is that there is nothing he can do. Fortunately, there is Yoshinaga's border guards.The Outer Mongolian Field Corps, which blocked the independent division, went south to buy themselves a chance to breathe. Although the situation in Ximan was dangerous.But it's not imminent, the matter is urgent, he can only comfort himself in this way.

Of course, it's just a consolation.The danger of the Westman battle still exists.Once Yoshinaga's troops couldn't hold back, the Independent Division's Outer Mongolian Field Corps went southward, and the Independent Division's troops that mysteriously appeared on the Manchurian-Mongolian border went south like a flood. The first unlucky ones were the Kwantung Army troops in the Ximan area!

General Meijin has never felt as exhausted as he is now, especially with all the knots in Matsuda.After putting them all on the table, I wringed out all my efforts.There is no solution that takes both measures into account. Do we follow the same pattern and form a rescue force similar to the current one in Xinjing?

It seems to be a feasible way, but the problem is that the current General Meijin dared not and could not. In order to save the war situation in the Liaodong Peninsula, in Fengtian and the surrounding areas of Fengtian, two temporary armies were formed. The last trace of soldier potential, otherwise, tens of thousands of women would not have been incorporated into the Kwantung Army's Liaoxi Assault Corps to make up the numbers. This is a last resort.

But Ximan's crisis cannot be delayed any longer. Once Yoshinaga's border guards can't hold on, then the fate of Ximan's Kwantung Army will have disastrous consequences. Lieutenant General Matsuda, the chief of staff who took out all the problems, was speechless for a long time when he saw Commander-in-Chief Meijin , I was also anxious, and there was an ominous premonition, not about the battle situation between Liaoxi and Ximan, but about the fate of the Kwantung Army's Manchurian border guards.

Lieutenant General Matsuda knew Lieutenant General Yoshinaga after serving as the chief of staff at the headquarters of the Kwantung Army for many years. The two had some personal friendship. Lieutenant General Yoshinaga was a rare and good general in the Kwantung Army. No matter what the extent of the war, there is absolutely no reason to just send a telegram to the headquarters. Then, it can only be explained that Jiyong and his border guards are in danger. He asked three questions, focusing on the border The defense team also wanted to urge General Meijin to come up with a solution!

However, Lieutenant General Matsuda would never have imagined that General Meijin had already issued a death order to Lieutenant General Yoshinaga. Moreover, as the Chief of Staff of the Kwantung Army Headquarters, he did not know anything about this order.

"Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, the time for the departure of the Western Liaoning Assault Corps is approaching. Please make a decision as soon as possible on the above issues, so that the staff can follow them! Especially the issue of the border guards!" Matsuda was on fire in his heart. Chief of Staff, urged.

General Meijin, who was in a state of desperation, was stimulated by Lieutenant General Matsuda's urging, and his heart was so excited that he wished to slap him with a leaking slap, so that this chattering guy who didn't know his heart was frying, shut his mouth. Open your mouth wide, but now, in any case, is not the time to lose your temper.

General Meijin, who suppressed his anger, took a deep breath, and said dully: "Matsuda-kun, I understand your feelings, don't discuss the issue of the border guards, I believe Yoshinaga-kun, will not Disappointed!"

"Regarding the issue of the Ximan battlefield, I have decided to immediately draw all the Manchurian police forces, the Manchurian police, and the emperor's Imperial Forest Army from Xinjing and the surrounding areas of Xinjing to form a Ximan assault. The corps, with a strength of about 8 troops, is tasked with leaving Xinjing immediately, breaking the blockade of the Independent Division on the front line from Siping to Shuangliao, supporting the Kwantung Army troops in the Ximan area to break through, and withdrawing to Xinjing!"

"The captain of the Ximan Assault Corps is headed by Major General Utada Jiro, the commander of the Kwantung Army's Xinjing Gendarmerie. Officers at all levels are selected from among the imperial army to ensure control of the troops. I have to trouble Matsuda for this matter. Jun, rushed to Xinjing overnight to supervise the formation and organization of the department, Matsuda-kun, please!"

After finishing speaking, General Meijin bowed deeply to Chief of Staff Matsuda, with a sincere attitude, but Chief of Staff Matsuda felt turbulent in his heart. He was already frightened by the temporary formation of the so-called combat corps. The two corps of nearly 30 people ended up being completely annihilated. Although they were mainly soldiers from the Manchurian army, tens of thousands of soldiers from the Imperial Japanese Empire also took part!

The direct result is that in Fengtian and its surrounding areas, there are no people of the Empire of Japan and Manchukuo soldiers who can hold guns. It is most appropriate to describe Fengtian as undefended. Now, Commander-in-Chief Meijin is still If you want to make such a fuss in Xinjing, wouldn't you want to turn Xinjing into the second Fengtian?

"Commander-in-Chief, absolutely not! Xinjing is the capital of Manchuria, we cannot do without sufficient defense forces, and if the Manchurian army is withdrawn, there will be less than [-] imperial army in Xinjing. Please think again! " Chief of Staff Matsuda was so anxious that his face was dripping with sweat, he remonstrated.

General Meijin glanced at Chief of Staff Matsuda with gloomy eyes, but his tone was absolutely non-negotiable, "Chief of Staff Matsuda, I have made a decision. You leave for Xinjing immediately. Within three days, the newly formed Kwantung Army The Ximan Assault Corps will appear in the area from Siping to Shuangliao!"

General Meijin drove away after saying this, leaving behind Chief of Staff Matsuda with a dull face. He just couldn't figure it out. General Meijin should be an experienced commander, why would he make the same mistakes over and over again? Woolen cloth?

The potential of Fengtian's soldiers has been exhausted, and Xinjing should be turned into an undefended city?If you can't figure it out, you have to carry it out. General Meijin's order is not likely to change in the slightest. Ten minutes later, a plane took off from Fengtian Military Airport and headed towards Xinjing in the dark night. , in addition to more than a dozen junior officers of the Kwantung Army headquarters, there is also Lieutenant General Matsuda Kenjiro, the chief of staff of the Kwantung Army who is worried and dull.

Chief of Staff Matsuda didn't understand why General Meizu was so stubborn. Even General Meizu himself had made this decision suddenly. Perhaps, in General Meizu's subconscious, he didn't trust those soldiers of the Manchurian Army who were obedient on the surface. Maybe He has already realized that the broken ship of Manchuria cannot avoid the fate of sinking. Putting so many soldiers of the Manchurian Army in Xinjing is an unstable factor.

However, this kind of thought just flashed in my mind. At this moment, General Umezu Yoshijiro, the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, has led a troop composed of more than 5 women, children, old and weak, in a truck, under the guidance of dozens of tanks Leaving Fengtiancheng, head towards Panshan and Beining.

The night is dark, the night wind is rising, the flickering car lights shine on the trucks, the faces of women in Kwantung Army uniforms with terrified faces, or the same military uniforms, but immature and curious faces, There are also some unshaven, wrinkled, and dull faces of men. This is all the capital in the hands of General Meizu, the citizens of the Great Japanese Empire, but these citizens of the Great Japanese Empire are really soldier?His Majesty the Emperor didn't know, but General Umezu did.

In Panshan, western Liaoning, where the headquarters of the Liaoxi Blocking Corps of the Independent Division is located, the commander of the Marine Corps saw Major General Han Tie, the commander of the Liaoxi Blocking Corps, seeing off his chief of staff, Colonel Wang Dongshan, in the dark night. After the order, the three main field brigades, the two tank regiments and the artillery of the blocking position were quietly withdrawn. They had already set off for more than an hour. Wang Dongshan set off a little later because he wanted to temporarily set up a command organization.

"Dongshan, this time the division commander ordered the generals personally. You are blessed to command the strength of seven brigades. However, I want to tell you, remember the sentence in the division commander's order and wipe out this shit Kwantung Army Liaoxi Assault Corps , none of them can be let go, Higashiyama, what you want to catch this time is a big fish, the old devil Umezu Yoshijiro, the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, is in your net, do a brilliant job, take Umezu old man The devil's head is going to see the teacher!" Han Tie's voice was exceptionally clear in the dark night.
