Chapter 1664: The Battle of Tianjin! (22)

Ryukari's moderate policies made the puppet Manchukuo very friendly to the new commander of the Kanto Army, and even felt a little grateful.

Ryuki Ryukari also made great concessions in Pujie's marriage, allowing Pujie to marry a Manchu girl as a concubine, but his official queen must be the daughter of the Chinese Japanese.

But this is already valuable. Pu Jie is destined to be unable to control his marriage. He is already very lucky for him to be able to seek a trace of freedom in the shackles of political marriage.

The moderate policy of Rikikari soon blew a warm wind in Changchun, and the hearts of the people began to rise. The old and young men of the puppet Manchukuo began to hype him up and promote him again.

For a time, Ryuki Kariya seemed to have become the savior of the puppet Manchukuo, and became the target of Chen Zan for the puppet Manchukuo officials.

Does Ryukari really have a Bodhisattva heart? I'm afraid it may not be. He did this to appease the uneasy hearts of the officials from all over the puppet Manchukuo. When the situation stabilizes, his true face will be revealed!

"Xiao Jijun, I have read all the battle reports for the past year. The losses of the empire are amazing. I doubt whether our original decision was wrong. Now the empire is a bit difficult to make in Manchuria!"

"Commander, if the Chinese army had not had the sudden rise of the east resistance of the Chinese army, the entire Manchuria would have been the empire!" Koi Isoko sighed.

"Commander, we are not attacking now, but how to defend our current territory. As long as the empire digests and absorbs the current territory, these will make up for our losses!" Hideki Tojo said.

"The soldiers suffered too much casualties. I didn't expect that there were such combat-friendly troops in the Chinese army. This is incredible!"

"Yes, we also find it very strange. It's just that we underestimated this bandit armed force at the time. Unexpectedly, in just one year, they grew and grew to their current scale, and posed a huge threat to us!" Koi Iso Kanoki said.

"Your Excellency Commander, I have studied the battle examples of the Empire and the Chinese Army's East War against each other and found a feature!"

"What?" Ryukari Takashi and Koiki Akira asked in unison.

"They have clear goals in every battle, whether it is attack, transfer, or retreat, and we just wipe them out purely to wipe them out!" Hideki Tojo said.

"What Tojo-kun means is that they have a skilled strategist behind the scenes?" Koiki Akira said.

"Take the recent Zhengjiatun battle as an example. They have already chosen a target, instead of following the trend, or in other words, while we implemented the Rehe combat plan, they have also formulated a corresponding plan. This plan is to occupy Taonan, control Zhengjiatun, an important town in northern Liaoning, and then connect with Rebei to block our way westward!" Hikiki Tojo said, "Their real purpose is not to capture Xinjing, but to block our infiltration into Inner Mongolia!"

"Taojo-kun means that the top-secret strategic information about Tokong we obtained before is fake?" Koiki Akira said.

"Koisi-kun. I'm not saying that this information is fake. I've read this information. The content is not wrong. It's because our judgment is wrong. What is the purpose of Commander Muto launching the Rehe combat plan? It is to echo North China in the Guan, and at the same time it can penetrate from Rehe to Inner Mongolia. This is the real meaning of occupying Rehe!" Hideki Tojo said, "But now, except for occupying Yuguan, we have gained a strategic advantage, no other goals have been achieved. Why is this happening? Because someone has seen through our strategic goals!"

"Tojo-kun, are you overestimating the Chinese people?"

"No, I didn't overestimate them. The Chinese people can write classics of military tactics like Sun Tzu's Art of War, and there is no shortage of smart people. If the Chinese army really wants to follow the information, they actually have no need to tell the Peking side in advance that as long as the Chinese army defends Zhengjiatun, they will be invincible. As for besieging Xinjing, I think the Chinese army may not be sure to defeat it. Even if the Northeast Army can drag out most of the main forces in Myrehe, with our troops in Changchun, it is impossible for the Chinese army to conquer Xinjing within a week!"

"Well, what Tojo-kun said makes sense. Xinjing is the capital of Manchuria. When we formulated the Rehe combat plan, we did not consider using the troops from Xinjing area. The purpose was to prevent the Chinese army from resisting the eastwards of the North Manchuria!" Koiki Akira said.

"So, we were deceived by the Chinese army?" Ririkatsu said in surprise.

"Yes, I made a bold guess!" Hideki Tojo said, "If this piece of top-secret information we have worked hard to obtain from Peking is actually a pretext that the Chinese army deliberately released?"

"Is this impossible?"

"If there is such a possibility, the Chinese army's east resistance is not affiliated with the Peking side. They can be said to be equal. Moreover, the Chinese warlords do not trust each other, so it is entirely possible to give a fake plan!"

"The question is, why did he do this?"

"Maybe they just want Peking to support them to relieve their positive pressure."

"Maybe they are trying to tell us this plan through the hands of Peking, make us believe in this plan, and then quickly draw the main force from Rehe to the north, forcing us to interrupt the Rehe combat plan!"

"No, no, this is impossible, it's too incredible. Did the Chinese have long mastered our intelligence personnel who lurked our army in the Beiping Military Branch?"

"It's hard to say this now, and we can't verify it!" Koiki Akira said.

"Report!"

"Come in!"

"Your Excellency Commander, Major General of the Hattori Department of the 14th Brigade stationed in Chengde!" The adjutant of Ryukari Kari walked in and handed over a message.

"The Chinese army is going to hold a live-fire confrontation exercise in Lunghua!" After reading the telegram, Ryukari Takashi slowly said to Koiki Akira and Tojo Hideki.

"Live-soldier confrontation exercise?"

"This is the Chinese army putting pressure on us. Our naval fleet had just visited Hankou, and they were conducting a live-fire confrontation exercise in Longhua, which was clearly a tit-for-tat!" Hideki Tojo said.

"The cabinet hopes to use the navy to put pressure on Nanjing and negotiate with the empire as soon as possible, but doing so will inevitably cause a rebound in China, which will aggravate the confrontation!" said Ryukari Takashi, "What the empire needs now is tolerance, rather than continue to put pressure on China!"

"It's a pity that the current cabinet prime minister is not the one in our army!" said Hideki Tojo.

"Tojo-kun, since the Chinese army is conducting exercises, this is a good opportunity to understand the Chinese army. You can hurry to Longhua immediately and observe and understand the Chinese army at close range!" said Ryuki Takashi.
