In Changchun, the Kwantung Army Headquarters seemed a little deserted, and the commander-in-chief and the chief of staff were not there, and Kenji Doihara became the temporary head of the family.

Now he is the most powerful person in the headquarters, and he feels like he is in power. Of course, this is only temporary. The base camp was very angry at his failed peace talks and the disappearance of Moriyama Yumi, but now he is not caring about him!

The Atako combat plan initiated by Muto Nobuyi has completely disrupted all normal order in Tokyo!

The Army Department, the Cabinet, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs were very quarreling, and the Navy Department also joined in, raising the practice of the same-level army's failure to comply with orders and launching war without authorization!

It is a one-sided situation now, but the Army Department cannot immediately ask Muto Nobuyi to stop. If he stops now, everything he did before will be in vain!

If you want to stop, at least you have to wait for the battle to achieve a result!

As a senior general of the Kwantung Army, Kenji Doihara naturally knew about the entire Inuhe combat plan.

According to Muto Shinyi's deployment and plan, occupy the entire territory of Rehe within half a month, and then, depending on the situation, a ceasefire or convenient negotiations with China are all choices.

The possibility of this plan being successful is very high, because the Chinese defenders in Rehe were too weak. Kenji Doihara, who started as an intelligence officer, knew very well that if the Rehe defenders did not have reinforcements, they would collapse in ten days.

But, the problem lies in it!

Although the Tang tribe in Rehe is also one of the local warlords, the Tang tribe was born in the Northeast Army after all, and although it claims to be a group, it still has the incense. There is also the truth that the lips and teeth are cold. The Chinese have said it for thousands of years, so they will not misunderstand it!

Therefore, the Northeast Army will never refuse to save him. Just as he was about to watch Rehe be occupied, the young marshal in Peking who was tortured by opium would have to step down immediately!

There will definitely be reinforcements from the Northeast Army, and there will be no small number of reinforcements, and they will be elite troops who are deployed on the front line of the Great Wall.

This shows another purpose of the Rehe combat plan this time, which is to lure the Northeast Army out of the pass to rescue and concentrate the elite troops of the Northeast Army!

Even if it cannot be eliminated, it will still be severely damaged. In this way, there will be no Chinese army in North China that can compete with the Kwantung Army!

Whether it was the Kwantung Army going south or planning and organizing a pro-Manchurian local government, it was very beneficial to the Great Japanese Empire!

Risk means huge benefits. Kenji Doihara knows that he may not be able to make much military achievements this time, but as long as the Kwantung Army wins, his meager contribution is indispensable.

In addition to paying attention to the trends of Dongkang, studying the battle report is also Kenji Doihara's daily habit!

Due to the fierce battles on the front line, the battle report was first sent to the Frontier Command. Then after sorting out, it was transferred to the rear.

Therefore, the battle reports in Ken Doihara's second-hand were basically sorted out and sent back, which would inevitably be a little lagging.

This time, the Great Japanese Empire mobilized the Sixth and Eighth Divisions, the Fourth Cavalry Brigade, and two mixed brigades and a different number of puppet troops, with a total force of nearly 60,000.

This is the largest battle of the Great Japanese Empire on Manchuria. A few days ago, it launched a summer offensive and did not use so many troops at once!

The Chinese Rehe defenders had about 50,000 troops, but they lost two cavalry brigades before the war started, and the troops were only about 40,000.

The 40,000 troops were all distributed and deployed, which was very beneficial to the attacking side. The smooth progress of the Sixth Division was enough to illustrate this.

Then Peiping quickly sent four reinforcements. Except for the farthest one, it was thousands of kilometers away, the other three were old-fashioned brigades of the Northeast Army. After receiving the order, they quickly assembled and advanced into Rehe!

The three troops have more than 40,000 people in total!

In this way, the Chinese troops may reach 80,000 or even 100,000. If the fourth reinforcement force can arrive in time!

No, Kenji Doihara immediately found that he had missed an army, the Chinese cavalry that had eaten a cavalry regiment of the Kanto Army!

Now this cavalry is entrenched on the line of Kailu and Chifeng!

In order to deal with this cavalry, the Kwantung Army deployed the 4th Cavalry Brigade to the northern line accordingly, becoming a separate offensive force.

At that time, Kenji Doihara felt that the power of a cavalry brigade was too thin, and the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army was not comparable to that of the Northeast Army. At that time, he suggested that at least one additional unit of the regiment be sent to operate with the cavalry brigade.

However, his suggestion was not adopted. Muto Nobuyoshi and Koiki Akira both believed that the cavalry of Dongkang would definitely suffer a lot after fighting against the cavalry corps led by Itagaki. Moreover, they occupied two cities in succession and ate two cavalry brigades of the Yumen. It can be said that they were a big snack and would definitely have indigestion. The combat effectiveness would not only not increase, but would decrease.

Of course, the Japanese intelligence department also noticed that the two anti-Japanese armed forces of the Chinese army moved closer to Chifeng, but in the severity of the regular army, Gao Wenbin and Geng Jizhou's two detachments were just a group of mobs. Fighting guerrilla warfare can also cause some casualties to the Japanese army, but if it is a positional warfare and defensive warfare, it is no match at all!

What's more, the Fourth Cavalry Brigade has more than 5,000 people, and the equipment is as good as possible. Each soldier has been trained for more than half a year. There are also a large number of veterans and grassroots officers who have participated in actual combat. According to the strength of Chinese and Japanese soldiers, three Chinese soldiers deal with one Japanese soldier!

In this way, at least 15,000 regular Chinese soldiers can compete with the Japanese army. Now, they only have seven or eight thousand regular soldiers at most. I don’t know how much water the word “regular” is!

Kennosuke Mogi is a person with good face. He has such great casualties. Once he reports truthfully, he will definitely lose his fruits, especially when the war has only been started for a day or two, so he naturally has to lower the casualties and report it!

Otherwise, the above would think that he was an incompetent commander.

This cuts corners and conceals casualties, and it is not new to any team. As long as you win in the end, some of the previous concealment can be completely employed as the situation of the battle. The statistical errors are mentioned in one sentence!

These are all sub-sections. If you are not serious about it, nothing is wrong.

But once you lose, this will be serious. If you punish multiple crimes, everyone will be lucky, and Kennosuke Mogi is the same.

Kenji Doihara saw the battle report about the Fourth Brigade that he was in intelligence and was naturally very sensitive to numbers.

If he followed his previous analysis, then the Chinese army should be defeated in one battle. Why can it fight like this with the Fourth Brigade and even repel the Fourth Brigade?

This is strange, is it just because of insufficient ammunition supply?

This is a close confrontation between cavalry, and the amount of ammunition is not the key factor in determining the outcome. Of course, it cannot be denied that the Fourth Brigade had to retreat due to lack of ammunition at that time.

In a battle of thousands of people, the number of casualties was only two or three hundred, which was a bit unreliable. If it was a victory, the number was very credible, but the Fourth Brigade took the initiative to retreat.

Take the initiative to retreat. In the Japanese dictionary, that is to retreat. It just sounds nice and save yourself some face.

The numbers are watery, but he can't question them openly. This is a taboo in the army. Kenji Doihara will naturally not establish an enemy for himself for no reason!

The subsequent battle reports about the Fourth Brigade deepened his suspicion. The Fourth Brigade must have concealed some things, and the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army exceeded his analysis.

This is not the first time that Kenji Doihara underestimates the strength of the Chinese army. Even he himself doubts whether there is a problem with his judgment!

"Report!"

"Come in!"

"His Excellency Deputy Chief of Staff, this is a secret piece of information transferred from Harbin. Please sign for it!"

"Secret information?" Kenji Doihara was shocked. The Kwantung Army intelligence organization in Harbin had almost been wiped out by the Chinese army. There was also secret information. Could it be a "scorpion"?

"Okay, give it to me!" Kenji Doihara took the document and signed it immediately.

It was indeed the intelligence sent back by the "Scorpion". This intelligence involves two contents, which are crucial to the Kwantung Army at present.

Scorpion was planned and arranged by Kenichi Doihara. It was just a chess move at that time, but unexpectedly he became the only trump card in his hands!

When I think of this Doihara Kenji couldn't help but thank the Chinese for their inventions. What does it mean to plant willows without intention? This is it!

When he opened the folder, Kenji Doihara's face changed immediately when he saw the information!

"Scorpion" provided two messages in total. The first one was that the Donggong side suddenly obtained a large number of military supplies, mainly a large number of guns and ammunition, with a huge number. The specific amount was not known. The level of "Scorpion" cannot be known.

This is not good news. Kenji Doihara knew that the Dongkang side had dismantled many equipment from Fengtian Arsenal and took away thousands of workers and family members, making the reconstruction of Fengtian Arsenal a long time ago.

However, these machines and workers may not be able to be converted into productivity immediately, which means that in a short period of time, Dongkang will not be able to obtain a large number of weapons and ammunition supplies.

Now that the Eastern Anti-Japanese War suddenly receives a large number of guns and ammunition supplies, is it aid from the Soviet Union?

However, anyone with common sense of military knowledge knows that although the Soviet weapons are solid, they may not be easy to supply due to the ammunition caliber. With the current relationship between China and the Soviet Union, it is possible to provide a large number of weapons and ammunition to increase China's strength.

But for the Kwantung Army, this is news that it cannot be bad. The Dongkong Army, which is not sufficient, can fight against the powerful Kwantung Army. If they get a large number of weapons, their strength will inevitably be higher. It will be even more difficult for the Kwantung Army to wipe out the Dongkong Army!

This is the first piece of news, which has a great impact on Kenji Doihara.

Let’s look at the second article, which is about the mobilization of the Eastern Anti-Japanese Forces, and an elite combat force was transferred to Baicheng.

This seems to be a very normal transfer, and the Eastern Anti-Japanese Forces have not been very frequent recently, because Kenji Doihara has been monitoring it!

To the west of Baicheng is the Prince Temple, and to the south is Taonan!

Will this force be directly stationed in Baicheng or have another mission? Where is its final destination?

Both pieces of information are vague and vague.

Perhaps the "Scorpion" knows more and more detailed situations, but in order to protect the safety of the "Scorpion", in the absence of special circumstances, such as Kenji Doihara's handwritten order or his own contact, the information conveyed by the "Scorpion" will generally be less detailed. If the information is too detailed, once it is exposed, it will be easily found!

If these two messages are found, if they are found, they will probably be very difficult to check the source, because such ambiguous news will inevitably involve a very wide range. Once the information is detailed, the scope will be much smaller!

How much does the "Scorpion" know, but Kenji Doihara doesn't know, but these two messages are quite important to the Kanto Army!

"Come here, answer me Fengtian immediately. I want to talk to Commander Muto!" Kenji Doihara grabbed the phone on the table and ordered.

"I am Muto Nobuyi!" A moment later, a gloomy old man's voice came from the phone.

"Commander, I am Kenji Dohihara. I have received two pieces of information here, which is of great importance. I must report to you immediately!" Kenji Dohihara stood up and said.

"Tell me, what information?" Muto Nobuyoshi's voice seemed a little hoarse, maybe he couldn't rest well.

"That's right, Commander..." Kenji Doihara said carefully the information sent back by "Scorpion" and attached his own analysis and judgment!

"Okay, Mr. Doihirahara, thank you for your hard work, I understand!" Muto Nobuyoshi did not react in any special way. After hearing this, he paused for a moment and hung up the phone!

Ken Doihara held the phone receiver in the second hand and hesitated for a while, then hung up the phone with a little disappointed feeling!

Muto Nobuyi was not interested in the so-called information provided by Kenji Doihara, but he could not denounce him. At most, he was a little too sensitive to the Deputy Chief of Staff, who had the "Father of Manchurian Intelligence"!

Before this, the intelligence department and the staff departments made deductions, believing that the possibility of the Dong Kang sending troops directly to the Rehe war is very small, and the occupation of Kailu and Chifeng is just a coincidence.

At this time, Dong Kang's intervention in the Rehe War was undoubtedly an irrational behavior, not only because it was beyond the reach, but also because it was suspicious and excluded by two powerful factions, the Tang tribe and the Northeast Army.

In Muto's view, China is still in warlord melee morale, internal discord, and infighting are their true meaning. If China is a solid piece of iron, the Japanese Empire will never take advantage of it!

This is also the basic understanding of the entire Japanese military and political circles, and no one will doubt this!

The probability of sending troops from the East Anti-Japanese War is less than 10%, which is the conclusion drawn by the General Staff after several deductions!

The only thing that allowed Dong Kang to make the decision to send troops to Rehe was the material convoy of 200 cars!

If the Kwantung Army moved it, this would be very likely, but the convoy is still trapped in Guyuan.

The Kwantung Army naturally wanted to get it to avenge the defeat of the summer offensive, but he was also afraid that if he really touched it, he would be retaliated by Dong Kang!

How to avoid direct conflict with Dong Kang?
