The 25th Division of the Kwantung Army, which participated in the encirclement and suppression of the Anti-Japanese United Army, was originally affiliated with the First Front Army of the Kwantung Army. The 28th Division had a wounded and killed 60% in three months of battle, and as many as 7,000 people died in battle, and they were really unable to fight again. The 25th Division was injured and killed in the Little Khingan Mountains for nearly a year, with more than 50% of deaths, and the deaths exceeded 6,000. Only the 29th Division directly under the Eastern Army was better, with only more than 2,000 people killed in battle. The three divisions fought against the disease plus permanently disabled and lost combat effectiveness as high as 17,000. **《》*After the end of the first phase of the encirclement and suppression, the commander of the First Front Army, Yamashita Tomomoto said that he did not agree to let the two divisions of 25 and 28 join the war again.

After learning about the damage caused by these divisions, Mejiro Umezu sighed helplessly and agreed to Yamashita Tomoto's request. These divisions were unable to recover their combat effectiveness after several months of repair.

The other main divisions, the 1st Division, the 57th Division, the 23rd Division, the 14th Division, the Alshan** Garrison Brigade, and the two border garrison regiments, the 2nd Tank Division and the 2nd Flying Division, all suffered different losses. The 14th Division suffered the most losses, one gang and another gang were surrounded and annihilated, and the corps flags were seized.

More than 80,000 casualties were exchanged for the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces. The Anti-Japanese Allied Forces gave up the death of the North Ontario, the Binjiang Province, the Heihe Province, and the Xing'andong Province of the Greater Khingan Mountains. Meijiro Umezin didn't know how to evaluate the result. Is it a victory? Or is it not a victory? If you calculate it further, from the moment the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces reappeared, the casualties of the Japanese army alone exceeded 100,000, which is not considered the casualties of the puppet Manchukuo military and police. Can such a victory be considered a victory?

The territorial battle seemed to be victorious, but so many elite soldiers died seemed to suffer losses. The most important thing is that although the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces were repelled and fled far away, according to recent information, they were far from losing their vitality. Now they have received a large amount of supplies from the Soviets and still have the qualifications and foundation to fight a battle with them.

It's too difficult to fight! It's too difficult to chew! When did the Imperial Army fight such a cowardly battle? The strength of the more than 100,000 troops can beat Southeast Asia, but it's difficult to keep pace with the mountains and ridges of Manchuria. It's so difficult that the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces drove out of their territory.

But despite this, the facts were still submerged in the summary report of the battle like a flower. Nobuo Masato, who is well versed in the psychology of Mijiro Umezu, tried his best to turn an unknown battle into a "glorious" and "decisive" victory, so that Mijiro Umezu was a little blushing, suggesting that Nobuo Masato should not be so shameless after being slightly modified.

The "shameless" wild deputy Masatoshi disagreed. He focused his attention on the domestic recruits in 1942 and advised Mijiro Umezu that if he did not exaggerate his military achievements, it would be difficult to obtain domestic supplementary soldiers. These divisions participating in the encirclement and suppression of the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces need to supplement soldiers, otherwise how can the strength of the main division be restored?

In the second half of the year, a total of 230,000 young men who met the conditions for joining the army were recruited in Japan. Now they have been traveling to China one after another. These people were prepared for the No. 5 combat plan formulated by the base camp.

In another month, the combat plan of No. 5 will be initiated as scheduled. The plan also requires the Kwantung Army to support 5 divisions. If 5 divisions are drawn and most of the remaining divisions are not satisfied, thus reducing the combat effectiveness, it will be difficult to achieve the goal of completely eliminating the Anti-Japanese United Army.

The report hit the base camp, which gave Meizu Mijiro a severe discount. The original application for 45,000 people was reduced to 10,000 people, and it was suggested that the Kanto Army recruited the Manchu soldiers in the army to join the army to solve the problem.

In the village, soldiers include reserves, veterans and reserve soldiers. Most of these people work in various enterprises and institutions, live a civilian life, and can be recruited for enlistment in emergency areas. In the land of "Manchuria", there are really many such people. Even if only 18 to 40 years old are recruited, more than 200,000 people aged 18 to 40 are recruited. But the problem is that if these people who have participated in various work and are at the backbone of various "careers" will inevitably affect the economic life of "Manchuria".

Besides, is it so bad that things have become so bad? The recruitment of soldiers in the village is a measure that can only be taken in the final stage of the final battle. If you do this now, the people will probably be frightened and suspect that Mijiro Umezu is in a state of embarrassment, which will definitely be a huge blow to his prestige.

Not only that, the amount of additional requests from Mijiro Umezu requested to recruits was too large, which caused dissatisfaction and suspicion of the base camp. Hideki Tojo even asked whether Mizu could wipe out the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces and not let the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces rekindled the plan to conquer mainland China.

Mizu had to bite the bullet and promise to Hideki Tojo that the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces could be eliminated within March. Even if they could not be completely eliminated, the Kanto Army would have the ability to limit the scope of the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces to prevent them from coming out of the corner of the line.

It is necessary to make a comeback after the big talk is released. Meijiro Umezu also wanted to know how several generals in charge of the bandit suppression plan next, so he ordered several generals involved in the bandit suppression to gather in Xinjing to "report the work".

The meeting was very popular, and the participants were all very high. They were: the commander of the 2nd Front Army, the commander of the 2nd Front Army, the deputy commander of the bandit suppression, the commander of the 4th Army, the commander of the 4th Army, the commander of the 1st Division, the commander of the 1st Division, the commander of the 57th Division, the commander of the 23rd Division, the commander of the 7th Division, the commander of the 1st Division, the commander of the 2nd Division, the commander of the 1st Division, the commander of the 2nd Division, the commander of the Manchu Army, the commander of the 1st Division, the commander of the 14th Division, the commander of the Kanto Defense Army, the commander of the 2nd Tank Division, the commander of the 2nd Flying Division, the commander of the Manchu Army, the commander of the first lieutenant general, and several commanders of the military control area also attended the meeting.

The second phase of encirclement and suppression that is about to begin will be completed by relying on the mobile forces under these people.

The meeting was in a quarrel at the beginning. For the first phase of the bandit suppression, almost every commander held a resentment in his stomach. Some complained that friendly troops were slow to act, some complained that relevant commanders refused to draw enough mobile troops to participate in the bandit suppression, some complained that the logistical support was not strong, some complained that the puppet Manchukuo military and police were low in combat effectiveness, and almost every commander could tell what was wrong with the friendly troops, which made Umetsu Mijiro want to overturn the table, but he had something to say first. This meeting was a meeting to shake off the problem. Seeing everyone's "interest" quarrel, it was obvious that the problem had not been shaken off, so he had to endure it. In the end, I couldn't help but urinate and escaped.

After returning from Urine Escape, I found that everyone had pointed their finger at Sasaki Hiroichi. Many generals believed that Sasaki Hiroichi had not fulfilled his duties as the general instructor of the Manchu Army and did not guide the Manchu Army into a team that could not be defeated or dragged down. Every time in the battle, the Anti-Japanese United Army could always calmly jump out of the area defended by the Manchu Army. The Manchu Army had actually become a weakness in the encirclement. The shortcomings in the wooden barrel should be held accountable strictly and seriously.

Sasaki was not willing to be outdone, and he fought against a group of reckless men. He was so angry that he shouted: "Then cancel this Manchu army! Let you do it yourself!"

It is impossible to cancel the Manchu army! Umezu Mijiro also knew that although the Manchu army was not as powerful as the Japanese army, it was an indispensable helper in the encirclement and suppression battle. No matter how bad they were, they were stronger than Wang Jingwei's puppet army. Hunters also needed the assistance of hunting dogs to hunt more prey. These guys with the rank of generals just had nowhere to fire. The "most honest" Sasaki came here to bully him.

The meeting lasted for two days and the quarrels for two days, and finally reached a solution that everyone could accept.

1. 10,000 soldiers in the village

2. Recruiting 10,000 Japanese-born Korean-born young people

3. From the soldiers' sons, 20,000 young and strong men from other ethnic groups in Manchuria

A total of 40,000 new recruits were supplemented with various bandit suppression troops. In this way, 10,000 new recruits in China will be added to the army in the near future, which will supplement the consumption in the past two years.
Chapter completed!
