Chapter 56

Time has blink of an eye to September 19th, and after finding that the city has changed from the bustle of last night to the present deserted and there is no reaction, the very cautious Japanese military intelligence officers recorded this information one by one and handed it over to their immediate boss, the head of the special high section, Tsuchihara Daisa. Dohihara, who got the information, did not hand it over to the headquarters as soon as possible, but summoned Seishiro Itagaki and others. At 8:17 a.m., Kenji Dohihara, who had received the information, and his gang sat around the charcoal-burning brazier officers' dormitory with Seishiro Itagaki and Tetsuyama Nagata and Ishihara Waner.

"Judging from the information collected by the excellent intelligence officers of the empire, those people in Shenyang City have been carrying all kinds of materials around the clock from yesterday afternoon until night. There's been no movement during the day, and our intelligence agents don't know if the guys in the city are gone. And according to reliable sources, they also forcibly emptied all the funds in the bank. I suspect they're trying to escape! This winter is unusual! Kenji Dohihara, who was sitting at the top, never left the brazier in front of him from beginning to end, staring at the flames that were constantly beating in the brazier with small eyes, picking up a cup of coffee, taking a sip of hot coffee with a fragrant taste in a very elegant manner, and then said.

"yes, even if they were to run away, we wouldn't be able to stop them now. Don't forget that we were wiped out by this abominable group of Chinese yesterday with a strength of 15,000 people, and now there are less than 10,000 left. Nagata Tetsuyama on the left stared at the flames that were getting bigger and smaller with a dull gaze, and said to the chubby Kenji Dohihara in front of him.

"Nani! The interests of the empire in China are absolutely not allowed to be infringed upon! We will not tolerate these bastards taking away what belongs to the Empire, we will take it all back! Ishihara, who has a baby-faced face and a melancholy face on the right, stares at everyone with a narrow gaze in a stiff tone.

"But, Ishihara-kun. Our current forces are already stretched thin, and it is impossible to complete the Empire's plan to annex Manchuria. With less than 10,000 troops left, we can't do it on the other side. Unless......" Seishiro Itagaki who was sitting at the bottom habitually rubbed his hands together and stopped talking.

"Unless what? What was Itagaki-kun thinking about? If you want me to say, we should now immediately ask for help from the Imperial Korean garrison. His Excellency General Hayashi Mijuro will definitely agree and willingly help us to complete the great cause of the annexation of Manchu and Mongolia in the empire. His eyes blinked a few times, and Kenji Dohihara seemed to think of something.

"Seems like it's a good idea. However, I'm more worried about whether that old guy will put our request behind us and run over and go it alone, don't forget that this old bastard has a history and he's very greedy! He won't do anything good without it. Nagata Tieshan, who didn't have any expression on his face, was unwilling to let that old bastard from Lin Milling Juro come over to take advantage of it, and looked at the three people around him and said meaningfully.

"No, he has a reason to come to our aid. I think that since the time of the Meiji Emperor, the sages of the empire have wisely proposed the great plan of the Great Japanese Empire, which even the Meiji Emperor approved, and until now our Majesty Hirohito has always insisted that this plan is the future and well-being of the Great Japanese Empire! I'm sure Your Excellency Lin Mill must think so too! He would never refuse our request. After all, he is also a person who lived through that era!! Ishihara, who had a very smart head, glanced at the expressionless Nagata Tetsuyama, revealing his white teeth, which were a little stumbling with his baby face and weird smile.

......

After continuous analysis and even several fierce quarrels, the four people led by Ishihara finally reached a consensus as the four feathers of the Kwantung Army. At 8:33 a.m., he submitted the proposal for the Manchurian/Mongolian battle plan that he and others had spent half an hour making to the hands of the commander, General Shigeru Honjo, who was in the headquarters for yesterday's meeting, Lieutenant General Takashi Hishigari, who had not gone to Tokyo to report on his duties, and Major General Miyake Koji, who was the chief of staff of the headquarters but never said a word. The three of them finally unanimously agreed to the battle plan, and even if it didn't succeed, all the blame would be put on the heads of Seishiro Itagaki and others. Shigeru Honjo even acquiesced in the formulation of this battle plan, and Seishiro Itagaki and others, in the name of the commander of the Kwantung Army Headquarters, sent a telegram to the commander of the Japanese occupation forces stationed in Korea, General Hayashi Mijuro, an old man, asking the commander to quickly transfer troops from Korea to send a reinforcement force to the northeast. In the telegram, he repeatedly stressed that the Kwantung Army was being attacked by unknown forces, and hoped that the Korean garrison could lend a helping hand.

After reading the telegram several times, the old man waved the telegram at the headquarters like a child, and shouted with tears in his eyes, "Now that the opportunity for the Great Japanese Empire has come, we should have done this a long time ago, why wait until ...... today" and so on. The entire personnel of the North Korean Command were a little puzzled when they watched this old man dancing there. The old fellow, who was already excited, touched his Prussian beard, which was shaking with excitement, gradually calmed down, thought about it, and then ordered himself to take great pains for many days, and on September 7 last year, he had already organized four mixed brigades that had not been reported to the base camp as the vanguard to reinforce the remnants of the Kwantung Army, which had suffered heavy losses due to unfavorable battles, and left behind more than 55,000 people in the 19th and 20th divisions of the four-unit system, garrisoning Korea, and at the same time defending the Soviet Russian Red Army and its navy in Vladivostok. Thinking of being able to take the entire three eastern provinces that are several times larger than North Korea, the old guy keeps worrying about the good of the West.

The Korean garrison supported the first reinforcement of the Kwantung Army:

No. 1 Mixed Brigade Number: The 39th Mixed Brigade was formed by the 19th Division of the Japanese Army invading Korea and the 20th Division, and the brigade commander was Major General Tatsujiro Kamura. There are a total of 6,100 people, including Wing Commander of the 77th Infantry Wing Nakajima Tiezo Osa, Wing Commander of the 78th Infantry Wing Yama Prefecture Rakusui Osa, Captain Tani Shunzo, Squadron Leader of the 28th Cavalry Wing, Captain Matsuji Ikeno of the 26th Wing of the Field Artillery, and Captain Kazuro Ishino, Squadron Leader of the First Squadron of the 20th Engineer Brigade.

No. 2 Mixed Brigade Number: Major General Mitsu Suzuki, Commander of the 4th Mixed Brigade: Captain of the 2nd Brigade of the 5th Infantry Wing, Ryoyoshi Tsuga, Captain of the 2nd Brigade of the 31st Infantry Wing, Suketomo Tanabe, Captain of the 3rd Brigade of the 17th Infantry Wing, Captain Hachiro Tanajo, Captain of the 2nd Brigade of the 32nd Infantry Wing, Captain Tatsuichi Jie of the 2nd Brigade of the 8th Cavalry Wing, and Yoshinobu Kohato, Captain of the 1st Brigade of the 8th Field Artillery Wing, totaled 5,400 people.
