Chapter 1373: The Japanese army is finally fooled! (1)
ps: Please give me a monthly ticket!
Changchun, Kwantung Army Headquarters.
Koiki Aki came back. Not long after, Muto Nobuyoshi also rushed back from Fengtian. Then, under the leadership of Muto Nobuyoshi, a military meeting was held to discuss countermeasures!
All Japanese major generals and above officers in Changchun received the order and immediately went to the Kwantung Army Headquarters to hold a military intelligence meeting!
The meeting first introduced the current military information by the Deputy Chief of Staff of the Kwantung Army, mainly attacks and losses near Changchun.
"Why didn't the Chinese army plan such a big operation? The intelligence department is seriously dereliction of duty!" At the beginning of the meeting, Lieutenant General Mori, the Railway Guard Command of the Kanto Army, attacked the first attack!
The finger was pointed directly at the intelligence department led by Kenji Doihara!
Kenji Doihara was slightly red. Indeed, there were signs in Dongkang's operation this time, but he didn't pay attention to it, so he was beaten up and suffered heavy losses, and lost a large area of lost ground!
If it weren’t for the heavy troops stationed in Xinjing area and the strict vigilance of the East Anti-Japanese War, this time it might have caused a major disaster!
"Mr. Doihirahara, don't you explain it?" Muto Nobuyoshi, the commander who rarely expresses his opinions, was rarely at peace this time.
The Rehe combat plan is also based on the intelligence department's judgment that Dong Kang will not launch an attack in the near future. Moreover, the intelligence department provided incorrect information, believing that the Kwantung Army attacked Rehe was the territory of the Northeast Bureau, and Dong Kang would not send troops to intervene!
Because there seems to be no favorable feelings between the Eastern Anti-Japanese and the Northeast Army, and even a little disagreement, the Chinese warlords have always been short-sighted and will never help a teammate who is not good!
"Mr. Commander. I made the judgment based on my years of being in China. But I didn't expect that Dong Kang would send troops directly, which was indeed my dereliction of duty!" Kenji Doihara stood up, closed his legs and bowed.
"I think Doihirahara's judgment is not wrong, but some people have done wrong things for the sake of interests or personal honor!" said Lieutenant General Matsubukura.
"Songbujun, what do you say?"
"Commander, I think Dong Kang sent troops to intervene in the Battle of Hehe. In fact, it could have been avoided, but why did it still happen?" Song Buzhiliang said loudly.
"Why?"
"It's because we have some people who are trying to attack their supplies convoys, and this convoy has concentrated almost all trucks in Dongkang. These are very valuable. Not to mention the various supplies they purchased in Zhangjiakou, they even brought some important people. I think the intelligence department is very qingchu!" Song Buzhi said.
"The leader of the Matsuki Division said it well. They did carry some personnel in the convoy. These people were crucial to them, including scientists, educators, and experts in finance and medicine!" Kenji Doihara nodded.
"If this convoy returns to North Manchuria, then the strength of the Eastern Anti-Japanese War will be further enhanced, and it is inevitable to intercept this convoy!"
"Yes, if the interception of this convoy is compared with the Manchuria and Mongolian strategy of the Great Japanese Empire, would it seem insignificant?" Matsuki nodded.
After hearing this, some nodded, while others had no comments.
"The Rehe combat plan of the Supreme Commander Muto is the most critical step in the Manchuria and Mongolian strategic plan of our Great Japanese Empire, and it is also the most appropriate to implement it at this time. Why do you say that, according to reliable information, the Chinese Peking side has realized the importance of the Rehe River and is ready to deploy heavy troops in the Rehe River, but there is not enough time to convince the Rehe Province Zx Tanggechen. However, according to our understanding of Zhang and Tang, the one who surrendered in the end would be Tang. In other words, Zhang will deploy some of the elite Northeast Army in the Rehe River. For the Great Japanese Empire, if you want to solve the Rehe River, you must spend a greater cost and more troops!"
"Yes, we have received news that Peking has intended to let Wan Fulin replace Tang and take charge of Rehe, but Tang is unwilling to lose his authority and has a tense relationship with Zhang, but Tang's strength is not Zhang's opponent at all, so Tang will surrender in the end unless we have the ability to convince him to surrender to Manchukuo, but we have tried it many times before, but it has not succeeded!" Kenji Doihara said.
"Monmatsu, please get back to the topic!"
"Hayi!"
"What I want to say is that if the Chinese army did not intercept him, perhaps it had returned to North Manchuria safely, then they would have no excuse to interfere in the battle of Rehe. Even if they were ready, they would not send troops so quickly, and they would occupy Chifeng and Kailu, causing huge numbers to our army!" Matsuki said directly.
"I understand what Matsuki Jun meant. If we don't intercept the Chinese military convoy, we will not have the dilemma of fighting on both sides, right?"
"Yes, it's not fighting on both sides now, but fighting on all sides!" Song Buzhiliang said, "Along the China Great Wall in the south, along the China Northeast Army, Rehebei, Chifeng East Anti-A partial division, Liaoyang, and the southern Manchurian city, and the outer periphery of Xinjing, we are now facing two enemies and fighting on all sides!"
"What is the solution for Matsubujun?" asked Lieutenant General Morita.
"There is only one way to crack it. To reach a reconciliation with the Northeastern Chinese Army, and then defeat the East Anti-Japanese War with all your might!" Song Buzhi said.
"What do you think about the leader of the Songbu Division?" asked Koiki Aki.
"I agree with the opinion of the commander of the Songbu Division. At present, the Chinese army has the largest anti-Japanese war against us. If it is not resolved, we will be completely passive!" Major General Amano of the 15th Brigade said, "Even Manchuria has not been able to conquer the entire territory, so how can we talk about China?"
"If you want to fight with Dong Kang for all your might, how many troops and military expenses are needed? Have you ever thought about how many assets the Kwantung Army still has?"
This is a very embarrassing question. In order to launch the Rehe combat plan, Muto Shinyi had already borrowed money everywhere. He originally wanted to take over Rehe, so he would naturally have money to pay off his debts. Who would have thought that Chengde had taken over, but the gold, silver and treasures were all taken away by Tang Yulin. If he had no money, what else would he fight?
The supplies and ammunition supplies sent from China also need to be bought with money, not for free. Wuto Nobuyoshi was also worried about this matter!
Could it be that he would have to borrow money from domestic consortiums?
"Bonds can be issued and the people of Manchuria subscribed. The Great Japanese Empire is also to protect the safety of their lives and property. It is for them to make progress and prosperity together, and they should pay the money!"
"Well, this method is OK. If you issue more bonds, how about 50 million?"
"good!"
The issue of war bonds was decided, and no one mentioned the return, and all the Japanese rewards were optionally forgotten.
The money problem has been solved, but if you have money, you may not be able to buy supplies. There are also gun bullets. This is the most important thing. Purchasing from Japan cannot avoid the supervision of the base camp. Now the base camp is opposing the expansion of the war. If the Kwantung Army places an order for the arsenal at this time and requires a large amount of arms supply, isn’t this going to further escalate the war?
"Your Excellency Commander, you can make appropriate concessions to the Northeastern Chinese Army, such as back before November 1?" someone suggested in a low voice.
"Back to before November 1st. Is this asking us to give up Shanhaiguan?" Some general asked excitedly.
"If the troops can be transferred north, it is not impossible to give up Shanhaiguan!"
"Absolutely not. The Japanese Empire has never given up any inch of land!" The radical generals started to clamor!
"Shanhaiguan must not give up. This is the bottom line, but other aspects can be retreated, but the Northeast Army must withdraw from the Rehe River!" Koiki Aki.
"Yes, the Northeast Army must withdraw from the Rehe River. Rehe belongs to Manchuria and does not belong to China!" The radical Japanese general became noisy again!
Behind Muto Nobuyoshi, Colonel Uehara quietly walked over and whispered a few words in his ear. Muto Nobuyoshi nodded.
"Just just heard a news that He Jingzhi, acting chairman of the Peking Military Branch of China, rejected the goodwill of the empire's peace talks!" Muto Nobuyi announced.
"What, the Chinese people actually refused to talk to us, they were simply seeking death!"
"This is an insult to the empire. Commander, please order us to send troops to North China and completely eliminate the Northeastern Chinese army!"
"Your Excellency Commander..."
In the conference room, the Japanese generals were full of anger and shouted that they would invade into Peking City and capture Zhang Hanqing and He Jingzhi alive!
Although these people were called fiercely, there was no idiot. It was undoubtedly unrealistic to invade North China at this time, and they would not receive any support from the country, and they would even be severely scolded.
"Quiet, the Rehe combat plan has been basically completed, and only Rebei is not under the control of the empire, but sooner or later it will be occupied by the empire. It is time for us to digest the fruits of victory, so we can make appropriate concessions to the Northeastern Chinese Army. Even if we retreat before the war begins, it doesn't matter. As long as we can get substantial benefits!" Muto Nobuyi said slowly.
"Hiss Commander, Shanhaiguan..."
"Needless to say, an unprepared barrier is nothing to the Japanese Empire. Besides, even if you return Shanhaiguan, it will be an easy task to get it back in the future!" Muto Nobuyoshi said.
"Where is Commander Nakamura?" Koiki Akira hesitated for a moment.
"Don't worry, I will convince Nakamura!" Muto Nobuyoshi said.
"Hayi!"
"Now the center of our combat must move from south to north. The next goal of our combat is to resist east. Even if we cannot completely eliminate it, we must ensure that it will not constitute a huge wēixié for us!" Muto Nobuyoshi said.
"Abide by the commander's orders!"
"Next, I will adjust my military deployment. The 6th Division withdrew from Chengde and handed over Chengde defense to the 14th Brigade, and ordered the 33rd Brigade to enter Pingquan and Lingyuan front line. The commander of the 8th Division, Lieutenant General Xiyi, was fully commanded..."
"Your Excellency Commander, have you transferred all the 6th Division to the north?"
"No, the 36th Brigade remains in Rebei to support the 14th Brigade's attack on Chifeng!" Muto Nobuyoshi said.
"The Tongliao troops are weak, should we send some reinforcements?" Kenji Doihara said.
Chapter completed!
