Chapter 57

No. 4 Mixed Brigade Number: Major General Shiro Itada, Commander of the 38th Mixed Brigade: Captain of the 73rd Infantry Wing Shuntaro Tsurumi, Wing Commander of the 76th Infantry Wing Toba Hiroshi Osa, Wing Commander of the 27th Cavalry Wing Furumi Dentaro Osa, Captain of the 25th Field Artillery Wing 2nd Brigade Nakabayashi Kasakiyoshi Shosa, Captain of the 19th Engineer Brigade Sato Takayasu Osa, a total of 8,100 people.

The advance support force is composed of four mixed brigades, with Lieutenant General Kameka, the commander of the 20th Division, as the commander of the advance force, and the chief of staff, Mori Masorokusa, who is still in charge of the staff affairs of the entire army.

At 9:37, a crowd of about 25,000 troops, with a total strength of about 25,000 people, lined up in a neat line at the Pyongyang railway station to listen to the admonition of the commander Lin Mijuro, and then took the overloaded armored steam train from North Korea to Shenyang in the northeast in batches, and drove at an extremely fast speed of 80 kilometers to the railway platform of Fushun City, 45 kilometers away from Shenyang, and joined forces with the remnants of the Kwantung Army to attack Shenyang City.

"Yo Xi, that old guy from Hayashi Juro has finally sent reinforcements. Now we can take Shenyang City. After receiving a telegram reply from North Korea, Honjo Shigeru happily took a sip of hot coffee.

"Honjo-kun, we need enough troops at the moment, not this little bit of troops. You must know that we are facing 200,000 enemies, and they are well-equipped combat troops! Ryokari Takashi didn't pay attention to the little troops drawn out by the North Korean side, and this sentence poured cold water on Honjo.

"Two commanders, we should now ask for our divisions and regiments to return to the mainland, if we can't do it, we will recruit the imperial expatriates in the northeast and distribute weapons, and at the same time gather the reinforcements sent by the North Korean side and the people of China to fight it!" Mitsuharu Miyake, who was the chief of staff, thought of another way.

"It's a good idea, too." A frowning Honjo Shigeru said, and he shouted to the soldiers who were only a dozen steps away, "Telegraph officer! Telegraph officer! ”

"Hay. Your Excellency, Commander, what do you command? Hearing the shouts of the commander beside him, as a telegraph officer of the Kwantung Army Headquarters, he stepped forward quickly. The Kwantung Army Headquarters was attached to the telegraph officer Yatenboy, who stood in front of Shigeru Honjo. Shigeru Honjo motioned to the telegraph officer to take out the notebook that had been specially drafted for the telegram.

"Yateng-kun, from now on, draft a telegram to the local base camp and ask them to transfer back the remaining troops of the Kwantung Army in the homeland. In addition, he asked for help from the base camp, sent 5 to 7 more Manchu divisions to the northeast of China, and used this incident as an excuse to control the entire Manchurian and Mongolian regions! Honjo said after a moment's thought.

After recording it, the telegraph officer sent the telegram, and the radio waves were transmitted across the ocean to Tokyo, Japan. The reply from the other side was not long, and Tokyo quickly replied to the telegram.

"Baga, these hateful bastards of the base camp who rely on the old and sell the old." Glancing at the reply telegram from the base camp, the more Honjo read the contents of the telegram, the more angry he became, and he simply tore the telegram to pieces in a fit of rage.

"Your Excellency, Commander, what happened?" Looking at the pieces of chips falling all over the ground, Chief of Staff Miyake Koji asked in front of Honjo Shigeru.

"Miyake-kun, those old bastards in the Imperial Base Camp didn't agree to our reasonable request. Not even a full division and regimental troops! The angry Honjo soothed the anger in his chest, and he hated the old guy in the base camp now, and complained in front of Miyake Mitsuji.

"This ...... It seems that the only way to do this is to recruit the Imperial diaspora and demobilized soldiers in the countryside. After hearing this, Miyake Koji, who had been standing for a long time as the chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, finally said.

"Alright, I'll sign an order for those guys down there to hurry up and gather their men." For the time being, Honjo had no choice but to agree that this method was not a method, and he thought that since the base camp was unreliable, then he had to find a way. As a result, after receiving the conscription order issued by the Kwantung Army Headquarters, the Kwantung Army cadres in various places began to recruit people aged 18 to 40 from their own overseas Chinese in the northeast to serve as soldiers and distribute weapons and equipment to their conscripts. They thought that as long as these two teams were combined, they would have an army of more than 120,000 to 170,000 to launch an attack and capture the city of Shenyang, which had been unable to be captured for a long time, and they could take this opportunity to sweep the Northeast Army with a narrow momentum, and even finally control the entire rich three eastern provinces! The support troops from Pyongyang, North Korea, took a bumpy train ride for more than four hours, and finally arrived at the Lushun railway platform at 13:17 in the afternoon, which is 380 kilometers away from Shenyang.

"Report, the Commander's Office of the First Support Unit of the Korean Garrison has reported to you Your Excellency Commander Honjo, I'm really sorry for keeping you waiting." Lieutenant General Lieutenant General Cumji, the first to jump off the train, saw Honjo Shigeru and others who had been waiting for a long time on the platform, so he hurriedly walked up to these dozens of people and saluted.

"Haha, it doesn't matter where you are, but you came so far by train. Great work. Honjo returned the favor and patted the studio and said that there was nothing to be dissatisfied with.

"Get out of the car! Gather! While Shigeru Honjo and the others were chatting, the support troops roared to the heads of the mixed brigades who got off the train, "Hey......!! Countless devil soldiers jumped off the train with weapons and equipment, and a large crowd of Huang Chacha surrounded the entire station.

"Yo Xi, with the 25,000 imperial elites plus the troops composed of 100,000 imperial subjects currently recruited, we have enough capital to control Shenyang and even the entire three northeastern provinces!" Honjo squinted his eyes and looked at the so many densely packed soldiers in front of him, and he looked very happy, and only now did he have enough confidence in his heart.

"The 4th, 8th, 38th, and 39th Mixed Brigades under the First Support Unit of the Korean Garrison Army report to Your Excellency the Commander and ask the Commander to give a lecture." The commanders of the four mixed brigades walked up to Honjo Shigeru in front of him and saluted and said loudly.

"Yo Xi, my order is: now your task is to rest. Everything is waiting for the orders of the command. Do you understand! "Honjo is very pleased.

"Hey!!" The four brigade commanders shouted in unison.
