The next day, the two divisions of the Kwantung Army drove over in a menacing manner, but they stopped at a distance of seven or eight miles from the Northland Volunteers and did not go any further. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

On the contrary, reconnaissance planes appeared in the sky above the positions of the Northland Volunteers from time to time, and the strange thing was that the fighters of the Northland Volunteers were always late to drive away the reconnaissance planes of the Kwantung Army. At the same time, the reconnaissance planes of the Northland Volunteers will also be dispatched to reconnoiter the intelligence of the other side.

The armies of the two sides confronted each other in this way, and neither of them took the initiative to attack.

The Kwantung Army does not take the initiative to attack, Fengtian is not in a hurry, time is there, if you want, we will be in a stalemate.

Calm the weather and be able to endure loneliness.

The problem is that the commander of the Kwantung Army, General Ueda Kaneyoshi, couldn't hold his breath, and for two days, this guy was a little restless, roaring from time to time, vowing to give the Northland Volunteers a good look.

Hideki Tojo, chief of the General Staff of the Kwantung Army, persuaded: "Ueda-kun, the Kwantung Army is not in a hurry to attack first, and then wait a day to see the situation." Looking at it like this, the purpose of Feng Tian is already very clear, and he wants to make a gesture to fight a battle with the Kwantung Army.

Judging from the reconnaissance, the Northland Volunteer Army had only two combat divisions, and the other was used as a reserve force. And this limited military force can only act as a defensive side, and it is impossible to take the initiative to launch an offensive. ”

It is indeed difficult for the Japanese Kwantung Army to grasp the total strength of the Northland Volunteer Army, just as it is difficult for Fengtian to grasp how many troops have been expanded in the Japanese mainland.

It's just that Feng Tian can draw on historical data to infer the total strength of the Japanese in each period.

The Japanese did not have this advantage, and could only obtain information through spy infiltration.

However, the Northland Volunteers have enough space to hide their strength, and as long as Feng Tian is willing, it is difficult for Japanese spies to peek into the true face of the Northland Volunteers. Because the composition of the personnel in the Green Province has been strictly scrutinized, it is impossible to infiltrate spies.

And in the original defense area of the Northland, only the garrison appeared with a swagger, and did not hide their whereabouts at all.

The intelligence warfare in this period was still a traditional way, and if the Japanese wanted to obtain the true strength of the Northland Volunteers, I am afraid that it was also what Feng Tian wanted them to know.

None of the parties to the war wanted to expose their true strength, especially Fengtian, almost all of them liked to use intrigues, and of course they didn't want the Japanese to master their own strength.

Knowing that he was invincible, Feng Tian only wanted to know the enemy army well, but he didn't want the Japanese army to understand him.

In this respect, the war between the two sides is not equal.

"Tojo-kun is right, Feng Tian only uses this amount of strength to attack the Kwantung Army, it is simply looking for death. However, this guy blocking in front of the Kwantung Army is really breathtaking, it is simply a naked provocation, and it is really damaging the reputation of the empire if he does not defeat them. The commander of the Kwantung Army, General Ueda Kaneyoshi, was obviously in a bad mood, and his tone of voice was a little fierce.

The commander of the Kwantung Army, General Ueda Kaneyoshi, spoke from the heart, and when he thought of the Northland Volunteer Army taking up a position in his north, the anger in his heart did not fight, and he was eager to defeat this army.

Lieutenant General Hideki Tojo, the chief of staff, touched his chin thoughtfully, and said slowly: "I think this Feng Tian is too confident, he probably expects that the Kwantung Army will not really go to war, after all, the imperial army has already opened up three major battlefields, and there is really no strength to open up new battlefields."

It should be said that Feng Tian's judgment is very accurate, and the current strength of the Kwantung Army is only a reserve army of the empire, in addition to guarding the northeast, the main role is to deal with emergencies.

Of course, Feng Tian misjudged the combat effectiveness of the Kwantung Army and the determination of the Kwantung Army.

Judging from the current reconnaissance, there are no other armies in the rear of the Northland Volunteers, and the strength of the three divisions in front of us should not be a problem if the Imperial army is determined to eat them.

This was a perfect opportunity, and the arrogance and misjudgment of the heavens created an opportunity for the Kwantung Army to establish meritorious service.

When Feng Tian confirmed that the Kwantung Army did not dare to fight, the Kwantung Army did the opposite, dealt him a fatal blow, and wiped out the strength of three divisions of the Northern Volunteer Army. Hahaha, let him cry then. ”

Judging from ordinary thinking, Hideki Tojo's strategy is good.

Feng Tian also believes that the Japanese side really does not want to open up a new battlefield, this time the Japanese army is indeed playing a bit big, Siberia has opened a battlefield, there is another battlefield in Hebei, and in the southern commercial sea, the scale of the war is increasing.

This is not all, according to the route of the Japanese army, it is possible to detonate the Battle of Xuzhou in advance.

It was in the situation that the Japanese army was not in a situation, and the posture of the Northland Volunteers was indeed a bit of a bully to the Kwantung Army, and Feng Tian must have expected that the Kwantung Army would not dare to start a war with the Northland Volunteers, and deliberately only used three divisions of troops to put them in front of him.

If this were the case, the Kwantung Army would have gone the opposite way, fought hard, and could have devoured three divisions of the Northern Volunteer Army with all its strength.

Hideki Tojo thought that the Kwantung Army would take the initiative to launch an offensive, and it would definitely be unexpected and difficult to deal with.

It's a pity that Hideki Tojo misjudged Feng Tian's motives.

After all, Hideki Tojo fought against Fengtian for the first time, and he didn't know much about the means of Fengtian, although there were some previous examples, Hideki Tojo didn't experience it personally. The cunning of Fengtian has exceeded the cognition of Hideki Tojo.

In fact, Feng Tian very much hoped that the Kwantung Army would take the initiative to attack, and even more hoped that the Kwantung Army would devote its forces to a decisive battle with the Northern Volunteers.

At present, the five divisions of the Kwantung Army are not concentrated in the east and west, and at this time, Fengtian launches a counteroffensive, so it is necessary to conquer all the cities one by one, or the location of the garrison of the Kwantung Army.

This kind of tough battle is very unfavorable to the modern Northland Volunteer Army, and it cannot effectively give full play to its combat advantages.

If the Kwantung Army is placed on the front line of Zhangwu and fights a decisive battle with the Northland Volunteers, the vast plain area will be very conducive to the superiority of the Northland Volunteers' armored army.

Feng Tian's intention couldn't be more obvious, that is, he hoped that the Kwantung Army would integrate their forces together, so that it would be convenient for Feng Tian to implement the grand strategy.

The commander of the Japanese Kwantung Army, General Ueda Kaneyoshi, and the chief of staff, Lieutenant General Hideki Tojo, probably never dreamed that Feng Tian's appetite would be so great that he wanted to swallow the entire army of the Kwantung Army in one bite.

If they knew Feng Tian's heart, I am afraid they would regret their death.

Both sides of the war are calculating, and Lieutenant General Hideki Tojo thinks he has insight into the calculation of the sealing of the sky, but he unknowingly falls into the calculation of the sealing of the sky.

The Kwantung Army finally couldn't take it anymore and launched a small offensive on the third day.

However, the first battle was only a tentative attack, and the intensity of the war between the two sides was very low, and the 24th and 25th Divisions of the Kwantung Army only sent one squadron each, and the two sides did not exchange fire for a long time, and withdrew early.

In such a large-scale battlefield, the strength of a squadron is nothing at all, a bit insignificant.

However, the war began after all.

After the war, the Kwantung Army Headquarters immediately reported the latest situation in the eastern battlefield to the Japanese Army Staff Headquarters, of course, they were very particular about their wording, saying: The strength of the three divisions of the Beidi Volunteer Army went south, approaching Jinzhou, and the Kwantung Army was forced to meet the battle, blocking the road for the Beidi Volunteer Army to go south, and in the north of the Xinmin line, close to Zhangwu and the Beidi Volunteer Army were in a stalemate.

The Kwantung Army was particular about reporting like this, at least this time the military conflict was not the Kwantung Army taking the initiative to attack, but was forced to send troops to intercept the northern volunteers from moving south.

This is to tell the Japanese Army General Staff Headquarters that the Kwantung Army has strictly carried out the orders of the Army General Staff Headquarters and has absolutely no intention of going to war without authorization.

Even if the war started, it was the Northland Volunteers who took the lead in the war, and the Kwantung Army was only forced to meet the battle, without disobeying the orders of the Army Staff Headquarters.

It took a lot of thought for the Kwantung Army Command to use this trick to conceal the army staff headquarters and realize its strategic intentions.

This also reflects that Hideki Tojo is also a talent.

Prince Zaihito, the head of the Japanese Army General Staff Headquarters, received a report from the Kwantung Army, and his crotch tightened, and it hurt a little, and Feng Tian really wanted to retaliate.

This sudden new situation made Prince Zaihito Miyaji, the head of the Japanese Army General Staff, indeed have a toothache.

The imperial army has opened up several battlefields, and almost all the armies have been sent, and the five divisions of the Kwantung Army are the reserve forces, where is the empire still having troops to support the Kwantung Army in the battle.

In the entire Eastern Theater, except for the Far Eastern Battlefield, which is currently going well, the situation in the other battlefields is not very good, and a decisive victory has not been achieved.

Although the country is actively expanding its armed forces, it will take some time, at least this year, and there is no possibility of sending troops abroad.

However, on the other hand, the Northland Volunteer Army only dispatched three divisions, which did not seem to pose a threat to the Kwantung Army.

However, when Prince Zairen of Xianyuan Palace thought of Feng Tian's cunning, he felt that things would not be so simple.

What kind of conspiracy will Feng Tian play, Prince Zairen of Xianyuan Palace has to think carefully.

After thinking about it for a long time, Prince Zairen of Xianyuan Palace didn't come up with a reason, what kind of conspiracy and tricks Fengtian would have.

After all, this time it was not the Imperial Army that took the initiative to attack, let alone go deep alone and create opportunities for Feng Tian.

And the Northland Volunteers are the attacking side, and there don't seem to be many moves, if the troops of the three divisions of the Northland Volunteers move south, wouldn't it be a lone army to go deeper, follow the old path of the Kwantung Army, and be eaten by the other side?

Thinking about it this way, Prince Zairen of Xianyuan Palace was relieved, as long as the Kwantung Army did not take the initiative to advance north, even if there was a conspiracy in Fengtian, it would all come to naught.

Therefore, Prince Kanin Miyazaihito, chief of staff of the Japanese Army, ordered the Kwantung Army to be cautious, resolutely not to advance to the north, and to resolutely block the attack of the Northern Volunteer Army to ensure that the areas controlled by the Kwantung Army were not encroached upon.

The order of the General Staff Headquarters of the Japanese Army unintentionally approved the actions of the Kwantung Army, and made the commander of the Kwantung Army, General Ueda Kaneyoshi, and the chief of staff, Lieutenant General Hideki Tojo, breathe a sigh of relief. (To be continued.) )
