Summing up the progress of each battlefield, General Minamijiro, commander of the Kwantung Army, Lieutenant General Toshizo Nishio, chief of the General Staff, and Major General Seishiro Itagaki, deputy chief of staff, studied the situation on the battlefield overnight.

The commander, Senior General Minamijiro, was quite satisfied with the operational progress of the various units: "The battle situation in the west has basically reached the expected goal, especially in the eastern battlefield, which is progressing rapidly. Looking at it this way, the Northland Volunteers were not fully prepared, and a sufficient number of blocking troops had not yet been deployed. ”

"Your Excellency Commander's judgment is very accurate, the Northland Volunteer Army has suddenly been attacked, I am afraid it is a little too late to transfer troops, maybe most of the army is still on the way, otherwise, the resistance will not be so weak." Major General Seishiro Itagaki and the commander, Senior General Minamijiro, have similar views, and add to them.

However, the chief of the General Staff, Lieutenant General Nishio Toshizo, was a little cautious and said: "Judging from the results of previous wars, this person is too cunning for the Kwantung Army to easily confuse him.

Your Excellency, Commander, you see that there is still some resistance in the western battlefield, but there is some abnormality in the eastern battlefield.

According to previous intelligence, the Northland Volunteers have been deploying heavy troops in the east, and at least one main division has been on duty for a long time. However, this time it is really strange, the blocking force is actually a company, can it be said that the Northland Volunteer Army has no army? ”

According to Lieutenant General Nishio Toshizo, Chief of the General Staff, Commander General Minamijiro and Deputy Chief of Staff Major General Seishiro Itagaki also paid attention to this detail of the Eastern Battlefield.

If it is placed in a mountainous area, this point of strength is reasonable, after all, some places have the cover of terrain and can resist attacks according to dangerous places.

However, the eastern battlefield is a flat river, and the position is arranged with a company's troops, which is considered a god?

Thinking about the five first-class divisions lost in front, General Minamijiro couldn't help but feel a little chill in his heart, would this Fengtian repeat the old trick, deliberately lure the Kwantung Army to advance, and then ......

Nima, it's possible.

Didn't the empire's army be drawn to the depths step by step, and then be sealed and calculated?

Probably the three leaders thought of this layer and involuntarily raised their heads and looked at each other.

Lieutenant General Nishio Toshizo, Chief of the General Staff, had a solemn expression and continued: "Your Excellency, your Excellency, this Fengtian soldier is often unexpected, and extremely cruel and cunning, after eliminating the 20th Division, he once used the same method to eliminate our 14th Division of Great Japan. Therefore, the Eastern Front did not rule out that Fengtian would continue to adopt the strategy of luring the enemy, causing the Kwantung Army to underestimate the enemy, and then advance rashly to destroy our army at the right time. ”

"Yeh Xi, from the initial stage of the entire war situation, the eastern battlefield only plays a role in attracting the troops of the Northern Volunteers, and it really doesn't need to be too aggressive.

The focus of this military operation is still to look at the western battlefield, and after the Kwantung Army has advanced to a certain depth, seize the best opportunity to attack.

Of course, it all depends on whether there is chaos within the Northlands.

From tomorrow, King De will be on the stage, and everything depends on whether this King De is capable or not.

It is completely predictable that in the face of the persecution of the Kwantung Army, the Northern Volunteers will inevitably concentrate on the southern front, and the rear will become empty.

At this time, the rise of the King of Germany behind the sealing of the heavens will inevitably cause the Northland Volunteers to fall into chaos and create the best opportunity for the Imperial army. Haha, I want to see how this Fengtian responds to this mess. ”

The commander of the Kwantung Army, General Minamijiro, exuded a smug look, and the reason for this operation was that the mastermind was General Minamijiro.

Soon after taking office, Minamijiro carefully analyzed the lessons of the failures of the previous commanders of the Kwantung Army, and believed that both General Shigeru Honjo and his successor, General Muto Nobuyoshi, acted very hastily and without any rules.

Admiral Minamijiro learned from the information that King Tokuro had bad intentions and was determined to make use of this pawn.

As a result, the newly appointed Senior General Minamijiro hatched the conspiracy, which was reported to the Japanese War Department and approved.

The Japanese army has not forgotten the damage caused by the closure of the sky to the Kwantung Army, and this revenge must be avenged, but the entire grand strategy is not allowed to challenge the Northland Volunteers for the time being.

But why not take advantage of the opportunity?

Although the Japanese War Department finally approved this plan, the commander of the Kwantung Army, General Minamijiro, was warned to be cautious, and if the Tokutoku rebellion succeeded in the north, causing chaos within the Northern Volunteer Army, the Kwantung Army would take advantage of the situation to attack the northern region and destroy this armed force in one fell swoop.

On the contrary, the troops must be withdrawn immediately, and the Imperial army must not be allowed to make unnecessary sacrifices.

Admiral Minamijiro's plan itself was to use King Toku to create chaos, and if King Tokuro couldn't do it, he certainly wouldn't act rashly. This time the army attacked north, which seemed to be menacing, but in fact, it was just to attract the attention of the northern volunteers and cover the actions of the king of Germany in the north.

The key to whether the Kwantung Army should advance and retreat in a measured manner, and whether to continue to attack Beida, depends on how much role King De can play.

If Fengtian sent troops to suppress the rebellion of King De, it would inevitably weaken the military power in the south, and only then would the Kwantung Army really launch a general attack.

The authorized commander of the Kwantung Army, General Minamijiro, immediately selected spies to lurk in the north, so Nanzao Yunzi was ordered to enter the northland to find Fengtian.

Now that this is going well, King De will finally start acting tomorrow.

In addition to the military operation, General Minamijiro also has to get public opinion to cooperate with this operation, and probably tomorrow the major news will break the big news.

"Your Excellency Commander's move is indeed wise, King De stabbed the Northland Volunteers in the back, the incident happened suddenly, and the unprepared Fengtian was bound to cause panic, and it was inevitable that flaws would be exposed, which created the best opportunity for the Kwantung Army. The Northland Volunteer Army was attacked from both the north and the south, and I am afraid that it will not be able to withstand the thunderous blow of the Kwantung Army. Wash away the shame of the Kwantung Army and eliminate Fengtian in one fell swoop. Major General Seishiro Itagaki was overjoyed, and his eyebrows danced.

Lieutenant General Nishio Toshizo, Chief of the General Staff, also echoed and said: "Yes, this plan is indeed perfect, and the rest depends on how much effect King Tokuwang can make, I hope he is not a wine bag and rice bag." For the sake of prudence, I don't think the eastern battlefield should be too aggressive, anyway, it's a suspicious strategy, so let's wait for the best fighter before making a decision. ”

"The speed of the advance in the eastern battlefield is a bit fast, but it is still within the allowable range, and it is not considered a rash advance. Immediately telegraph the results of today's battle to the War Department of the Imperial Japan, and see how the War Department reacts. ”

"Hey, report to the War Department immediately." The operational staff officer immediately received the order and turned to convey the commander's order.

"I wish the Kwantung Army a great success in this military operation, cheers!"

The three top commanders of the Kwantung Army already felt that victory was in sight and entertained themselves at the headquarters. (To be continued.) )
