fainted because of too much pressure, Ryota Oshima was not the first, and it would not be the last, and just when Ryota Oshima fainted, in the temporary camp in Huludao, which was less than a hundred kilometers away from Jinzhou, Su Jin received the latest information just sent by the reconnaissance plane. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Su Jin handed Huang Weiguo a copy of the latest information: "Weiguo, come and see, this is a photo just taken by the reconnaissance plane, which shows the current location of the 135th Brigade and the 119th Division of the Japanese Army. ”

Huang Weiguo took the photo, looked at the position marked on the photo again, his brows suddenly wrinkled, and he said with some worry: "Sir, I myself am desperate enough, they are still rushing at full speed in such weather, if this is the case, I am afraid that the first armored division has not taken Jinzhou, and the reinforcements of Ri I himself will arrive in advance!" ”

Su Jin nodded, "What you said is exactly what I'm worried about, originally I thought that Ri I himself would have to arrive in a day or two, but I don't think they can really rush to Jinzhou tomorrow morning with this posture, so Fred and they don't want to take Jinzhou, and they will be counter-surrounded by Ri I himself." ”

Huang Weiguo hesitated and said, "Then what do you mean?" ”

Su Jin said undoubtedly: "I mean that your 347th Division will be dispatched immediately, and the 347th Brigade and the 348th Brigade will immediately advance towards Jinzhou at the fastest speed, and you must rush to the front of the 135th Independent Mixed Brigade and the 119th Division in the shortest possible time, block their way, and don't let them rush to Jinzhou for reinforcements so easily!" ”

Huang Weiguo puffed out his chest and said loudly: "Yes, I promise to complete the task!" It's just ......," he hesitated again.

Su Jin looked at him and asked, "Just what?" ”

"It's just ......" Huang Weiguo hesitated for a moment and said: "It's just that if we also go to the battlefield, then the entire Huludao will be empty, and our fleet will soon leave and return to Hangzhou, and then you will be empty here, once there is any emergency, what about your safety, sir?" ”

"Eh, what can I do!" Su Jin waved his hand indifferently, "Don't forget, I also have a guard regiment and a flying squadron here, take 10,000 steps back and say that if something happens, I can still apply oil to the soles of my feet." Besides, this situation is only temporary, and everything will be fine when the rain stops and the engineer battalion finishes repairing the airport. ”

"This damn downpour!"

Hearing Su Jin say this, Huang Weiguo could only sigh and stop talking, this was really a plan that couldn't catch up with the change, and a heavy rain disrupted all the plans. According to the original plan, at this time, hundreds of C-54 Airlord transport planes that had already assembled at Hangzhou, Jinhua and other airports had begun to take off, and began to continuously transport follow-up troops and materials, and it only took three days to assemble two divisions of troops to continue to advance towards Panjin and Suizhong to expand their sphere of influence, but this heavy rain disrupted all plans, and this strong frustration made Huang Weiguo almost want to scold his mother.

As if seeing the worry in Huang Weiguo's eyes, Su Jin patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "Don't worry, as long as the weather clears, our follow-up plan can be implemented!" When the time comes, we will expand and strengthen the airport, and all the runways will be covered with PSP perforated steel plates, so that we will not have to be afraid even if it rains. ”

"Well, since you gave the order, then I can only obey!" Seeing that Su Jin had made up his mind, Huang Weiguo could only carry it out, but after leaving this temporary headquarters, he found Bai Qishan again and told him to protect Su Jin's safety.

"Senior Commander Huang, don't worry, the little devils want to hurt Chief Su, unless they step on my corpse! Besides, our guard regiment is not vegetarian, and none of the troops of the brigade or regiment want to get close to us! With the development and growth of the Third Army, today's guard regiment has been expanded into a guard brigade, and Bai Qishan has also become the major general and brigade commander of the guard brigade. There are two guard regiments and a tank battalion under him, and due to the fact that he still has to leave manpower to defend the lair, Su Jin only brought one regiment to the northeast this time, but Bai Qishan, who is the commander of the guard brigade, expressed his confidence with confidence.

"That's good!" Seeing Bai Qishan, who was full of confidence, patted his chest, Huang Weiguo nodded and instructed again: "You have to remember that once something happens, your first task is to retreat with your commander, and you must not fall in love, understand?" ”

"Understood!" Seeing Huang Weiguo's solemn expression, Bai Qishan once again made a guarantee.

After thousands of instructions, Huang Weiguo didn't say anything, and immediately led the 348th Division to set off, and he had only one task, that is, to stop the independent mixed 135th Brigade and the 119th Division from going to Jinzhou at all costs, so as to win time for the 1st Armored Division to conquer Jinzhou......

Umezu Mijiro sat motionless at the narrow dining table, looking at the pile of papers and newspapers piled up on the table, the setting sun shining outside the wide window, and despite the blooming flowers in the gardener's well-tended garden, Umezu Mijiro did not smell the slightest fragrance.

The Third Army has been on the ground for two days, but as the commander of the Kwantung Army, he is still at a loss, originally thinking of taking advantage of the opponent's unstable foothold to send the Second Air Force to make a surprise attack on the Huaxia fleet in Huludao port, but he never thought that the surprise attack would not succeed but was beaten to the ground, and the Second Air Force lost more than half, and until now it did not dare to launch another attack on the Huaxia Army in Huludao. Originally, Umezu Mijiro still hoped that the First Division of Manchukuo, which Pu Yi had worked so hard to train, would earn some face for himself, but he never thought that the troops of an entire division could not even take down a company-level reconnaissance unit of the other side, and in the end, it was bombed by the opponent's air force and suffered heavy losses, and had to flee in embarrassment. The successive defeats were tantamount to a blow to the head for the originally arrogant Umezu Mijiro.

A charming voice kept coming from the radio on the side, that channel and those words were forbidden and illegal in Manchuria under the rule of the Japanese themselves, and anyone who listened to this broken report would be imprisoned for "listening to the enemy's station", but no one in the headquarters of the Kwantung Army dared to stop this voice.

"Since yesterday, the officers and men of the Third Group Army of our heroic National Revolutionary Army, under the leadership of General Su Jin, landed in Huludao in the northeast, and after destroying seven or eight warships anchored in the port of Huludao by the Japanese invaders, General Su commanded the First Armored Division of our army, known as the Iron Lion, to march towards Jinzhou, I believe that it will not be long before we can recover Jinzhou, and then the troops will point directly at Mukden, until all the three eastern provinces that have been occupied by the Japanese invaders for many years will be recaptured! Chairman Chiang taught us ......"

Listening to the sound of the radio in his ears, Umezu Mijiro suddenly felt an inexplicable panic, and countless complicated thoughts beat back and forth in his mind. A string of questions and fears continued to rise in Umezu's mind, and panic was also spreading in his mind

While Umezu Mijiro was sitting in his office in a daze, there was a person looking inside through the crack in the half-hidden door, and it was his orderly. He is responsible for taking care of Umezu Mijiro's daily life and three meals a day. And the reason why the orderly keeps visiting inside is because Umezu Mijiro has been sitting at the table for a long time, but the food on the table is not less at all, which is a very strange thing, you must know that although Umezu Mijiro looks very thin, but the amount of food is not small, he can eat at least two rice balls plus half a duck or half a chicken at each meal on weekdays, and he also likes to drink sake while eating. It is also customary to sing the folk songs of Kitakyushu at the dinner table.

But now he was sitting alone at the table, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"Someone!" Suddenly, the shrill voice of Mijiro Umezu rang out in the restaurant.

Ten minutes later, Lieutenant General Yoshimoto Sadachi, Major General Junhisa Ikeda, Masao Terada, Takushiro Hattori, Toshio Nishimura Nakasa, and other Kwantung Army officers gathered in Umezu Mijiro's office, and Lieutenant General Yoshimoto Sadachi, Chief of Staff, was standing behind Umezu Mijiro to give the latest briefing.

"At present, the armored forces of China have come to Jinzhou, and the garrison commander of Jinzhou, Ryota Oshima, has sent three telegrams in a row requesting tactical guidance. Oshima Ryotai claimed in a telegram that if there were no reinforcements within 24 hours, he could only lead 3,200 imperial soldiers and more than 5,000 expatriates in Jinzhou to repay His Majesty the Emperor, but we ......"

"Why haven't our reinforcements arrived yet?" Umezu Mijiro rudely interrupted Yoshimoto's words.

"Because our reinforcements are still on the way, Your Excellency Commander!" Yoshimoto's face was a little embarrassed.

"When will they arrive?"

"Tomorrow at noon, Your Excellency, Commander!"

"The order has been issued for more than ten hours, why haven't the 135th Brigade and the 119th Division of the Independent Mixed Brigade arrived in Jinzhou yet?"

"Your Excellency, Commander, this is due to the weather, which makes it difficult for the vehicles and horses of the troops to speed up!"

"Yaga...... A bunch of rubbish! ”

A furious voice erupted from Umezu Mijiro's mouth, "A division and a brigade have been on the road for more than ten hours, but now they are still spinning on the road, when did the soldiers of the Great Japanese Empire leave their livestock and not even walk the road?" ”

Umezu Mijiro's sharp voice echoed in the office, and in front of him, more than a dozen generals didn't even dare to breathe.

"A division of troops couldn't even take a company of the Chinese people, and in the end they were bombed by the Chinese planes and fled in all directions, is this still Manchuria under the rule of our Great Japanese Empire?"

Umezu Mijiro, the commander, was angry, and the officers below were all silent and did not dare to speak.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Umezu Mijiro was even more angry: "What? Don't you dare to speak, don't you people have anything to do? Or did I invite you here for tea? ”

Everyone glanced at each other, and the chief of staff of operations, Hattori Takushiro Nakasa, took the lead in speaking: "Your Excellency Commander, I think the most important thing for us now is not to relieve the siege of Jinzhou, but how to hold Fengtian!" ”

As soon as Takushiro Hattori's words came out, the atmosphere in the office became even colder. Of course, they know that if Jinzhou is lost, then the spearhead of the Chinese people will definitely be directed at Fengtian, the heart of the three eastern provinces, as long as Fengtian is taken, the prestige of the Kwantung Army for decades will be lost.

Umezu Mijiro didn't laugh angrily: "Mukden, the people of Shina were able to attack Mukden, this should be the biggest joke of the year, right?" ”

Hattori Takushiro Nakasa stiffened his head and said, "Your Excellency, Commander, although we are very reluctant to admit it, this is the truth. ”

Hattori Takushiro didn't dare to speak after speaking, lowered his head and waited for the storm to come again, but he didn't hear the familiar angry scolding after waiting for a while, he raised his head in some shock, but saw Umezu Mijiro sitting in a chair with his eyes closed, with a bitter look on his face. After a long time, he sighed and muttered, "Yes, that's true. If you had ......

Speaking of this, Umezu Mijiro shook his head bitterly, if he could have paid more attention to the warning sent by Yan Junliu, even if it was just to send a division to Huludao and other places to defend, the current outcome would not be like this. careless, no wonder the Chinese people's art of war has repeatedly emphasized that arrogant soldiers will be defeated!

Seeing that Umezu Mijiro looked a little decadent, Chief of Staff Yoshimoto Sanichi hurriedly comforted: "Your Excellency, Commander, you don't have to be depressed. You must know that our Kwantung Army is a heavy army group with more than 600,000 troops, and although the people of China have the upper hand for the time being, as long as we transfer the main force back to fight them for a decisive battle, the people of China will not be able to defeat us! ”

Someone next to him raised an objection: "But don't forget, our main forces are all confronting the Soviets in the Outer Mongolia area, and these troops cannot move, so how can we defeat the Third Army in China without mobilizing the main forces?" ”

"Why can't you mobilize the main force back?" Yoshimoto asked rhetorically: "How do you know that the Soviets will definitely attack us after the main force is mobilized?" The Soviets are now being beaten to the death of the Germans, and if we don't go to their troubles, they are already snickering, how dare they take the initiative to provoke the Great Japanese Empire? ”

Everyone thought about it for a while, and it seemed that this was also true. In other words, if they were Soviets, they would not take the initiative to provoke another powerful country when they were too busy to take care of themselves, this is not looking for abuse.

"Your Excellency Commander, the base camp is calling!"

Just then, a staff officer hurried into the office.

"Read!" Umezu Mijiro said without raising his eyelids.

"The base camp telegram order, the call has been received, and the combined fleet will set out to blockade the southern coast of China, and take the initiative to seek a decisive battle with the navy of the Third Army in China!"

"Whoa!"

As soon as the message was read, everyone in the office became excited...... (To be continued.) )
