1313 Kita Seiichi
Entering Angangxi was the vanguard of the 23rd Division under Lieutenant General Kita Seiichi of the Japanese Sixth Army.
As early as 1936, when Kita Chengichi saw that after the Red Army ended the Long March, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party might stop encirclement and suppression, and prepare to jointly resist Japan, proposed to fight against China and the Soviet Union, and demanded a "resolute blow against China." For quite a long time, this "resolute blow to China" was a common phrase used by hardliners in the Japanese military against China, and it was this phrase that the officers talked about most often when they gathered.
After the Lugou Bridge Incident, Kita Chengyi arrived in North China and first served as the head of the Tianjin secret service, and then as the head of the North China Front. The puppet regime in North China was planned and established with the support of his orders under the orders of General Shouichi Terauchi. Because of his great contributions to the North China Front Army during his tenure as the head of the Special Service Department of the North China Front, he was appreciated by General Terauchi Shouichi, and was promoted from Major General to Lieutenant General to the commander of the rebuilt 14th Division, and at this moment he was already the commander of the dignified Sixth Army.
After the Japanese-Soviet War, the headquarters of the Sixth Army was set up in Hailar, and the army had the Seventh Division, the 23rd Division, and the Eighth Border Garrison under its jurisdiction, and undertook the task of supporting the Fifth Army stationed in Outer Mongolia.
What Seiichi Kita is best at is playing conspiracy and spies, and he has no actual combat experience at all. In November 1943, he was transferred from the commander of the Sixth Army to the commander of the Twelfth Army, stationed in Shandong, and swept the mountainous areas of central and southern Shandong, driving away Yu Xuezhong, but let the Eighth Route Army develop and grow, and the Japanese army was repeatedly defeated in the battles with the Eighth Route Army. Therefore, Okamura Ninji decided that he lacked practical experience. He was transferred back to the Japanese General Staff Headquarters and replaced with Uchiyama Eitaro as the commander of the 12th Army. Unexpectedly, this thing is born to engage in conspiracy, and he is good at stammering with his boss. even became a general, and he was crowned by a monkey.
Now, unlike in history, the main task of the Japanese army to make him the commander of the Sixth Army is to let him assist the Kwantung Army Command in planning and forming local governments in Mongolia and the Far East. The principle of the Japanese army was that Mongolia could establish a puppet regime similar to Manchukuo, and that the Far East would better become a direct territory of the Japanese mainland such as the Kwantung Prefecture. As a result, the stocky and stocky Kita Seiichi was stationed in Hailar, but his eyes were fixed on the vast Mongolian Plateau and the beautiful Far East. Turning the clouds and rain, engaging in power schemes. For a time, the headquarters of the Japanese Sixth Army in Hailar turned out to be full of people, and traitors, Russian traitors, traitors, and even those who were eager to get ahead were all running under Kita-seichi, all thinking about how to tie up Kita-seiichi so that they could get a piece of bone to gnaw.
Kita Chengyi had a very moist life in Hailar, and there were a group of traitors, Russian traitors, and traitors who were afraid that Kita Chengyi didn't know them. Drinking horse ** wine, vodka, enjoying Mongolian and Russian music and dance, eating Mongolian roast whole sheep and Russian feast. Sleep with a variety of beautiful women. It was really a day in the cave and a bridegroom every night.
Kita Seiichi sometimes even lamented that if he had known that he had such a wonderful life, he should have asked His Majesty the Emperor to start the Japan-Soviet War as soon as possible. Later, Kita Makoto thought that it was not too late now, as long as the Mongolian region and the Far East were turned into a stable rear like Manchukuo and Kwantung Prefecture, the Kwantung Army could completely continue to advance westward and kill to Moscow. In that case, I am afraid that all the nationalities of the Soviet Union will prostrate at the feet of the Kwantung Army, no, prostrate at his feet, competing to offer him beauties and treasures, and listen to his arrangements. It is likely that he will be able to control for His Majesty the Emperor a super-large Japanese empire across the Eurasian continent.
Because there is this idea. On the eve of our army's march into the northeast, Seiichi Kita sent a secret letter to Emperor Hirohito, advocating that we should take advantage of the emptiness in the eastern part of the Soviet Union to tear up the Japanese-Soviet Treaty of Friendship and Neutrality and deal a decisive blow to the Soviet Union.
When Seiichi Kita was the head of the Special Service Department of the North China Front, the commanders Terauchi Shouichi and Sugi Mototo were both Japanese giants. He didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of these two people at all, and he was down-to-earth and diligent. This one became the commander of the Sixth Army, stationed in Hailar, far away from the Kwantung Army Headquarters, and he was fluttering, not knowing how many catties and taels he had.
It's the same old saying: the ass decides the head. If the Japanese army base camp had not given Kita Seiichi the power to assist the Kwantung Army Headquarters in forming the Mongolian and Far Eastern regimes, Kita Seiichi might still be a Japanese lieutenant general who was down-to-earth and diligent and accustomed to spy work. The man is still the same person, but he is many, much more arrogant. No, as soon as he heard that our army had captured Dalian and Shenyang, and that the commander of the Kwantung Defense Army, Toji Yasui, had been killed, Kita Seichi immediately called the commander of the Kwantung Army, General Umezu Mijiro, saying that the Sixth Army was waiting for the order of His Excellency the Commander at any time, attacking Mukden, eliminating Liu Yimin's troops, and recovering Mukden and Kwantung Prefecture.
Kita Makoto, an old devil, forgot all about the defeat of the Japanese army under Liu Yimin when he was in North China, thinking that he only had two divisions, a border garrison and some Sixth Army with combat units as all the Kwantung Army! What's more, his Seventh Division is still far away in Shandong?
Umezu Mijiro only ordered the armies of the Kwantung Army to gather and assemble their troops, and they didn't even have time to deploy where to attack after assembling their troops, and they were drilled a bloody hole in their heads by the snipers of the Eighth Route Army. If this had been placed when he was the head of the Special Service Department of the North China Front, Kita Seiichi would have been highly vigilant and silent, waiting for orders from the Kwantung Army Headquarters. You must know that those who are spies are all deep goods, and Xi Duo Chengyi is an old spy and spy leader among the spies, and he has played out the traitor government of Wang Kemin in North China when he plays deep, so he should definitely be the master of keeping his mouth shut. But now Kita Seiichi is different, he is no longer the head of the special affairs department of the North China Front, but the commander of the Sixth Army with a special mission. No, as soon as Senior General Umezu Yoshijiro and Lieutenant General Yoshimoto Sadachi died, Kita Seiichi could not wait to send a telegram to the new commander of the Kwantung Army, Yamada Otozo, requesting that the main force be immediately mobilized to destroy Liu Yimin's Northeast People's Anti-Japanese Main Coalition Army, to avenge General Umezu, and to swear that the Sixth Army could undertake important combat missions.
Yamada Otozo was afraid that the Japanese generals would be frightened by Liu Yimin, so he happened to come out with a Kita Seiichi, and immediately ordered the Sixth Army to gather the main force and quickly move south, secretly move south along the Taoang Railway, capture the Sitao Railway, and outflank the Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition Army in Gongzhuling and Siping. In view of the fact that the 7th Division of the 6th Army was still in Shandong, Yamada Otozo strictly ordered the main force of the 5th Army to follow up quickly and support the 6th Army in the operation.
After receiving the order, Kita Seiichi did not hesitate at all, and quickly mobilized his troops and assembled at Angangxi near Qiqihar, preparing to move south.
This time, Kita Seiichi was determined to fight a good battle and establish himself as a good fighter in the Japanese army. Therefore, he left the Eighth National Border Garrison to garrison the defense area and led the 23rd Division and the Army Replenishment Team to participate in the operation. It's a pity that the 7th Division is not there, and if the 7th Division is there, Kita Seiichi will definitely lead the 7th Division and the 23rd Division into battle.
After the 23rd Division was disabled by the Soviet Army in the Battle of Normenhan, it had already been re-established as a mechanized division. After the test of the Japanese-Soviet war, it was quickly replenished after the war, and the current 23rd Division is strictly said to be stronger in combat effectiveness than the old 7th Division. The reason why Kita Seiichi dared to take the initiative to ask for help was because he had the equipment and combat effectiveness at hand to approach the 23rd Division of the 2nd Division, the 5th Division, and the 1st Guards Division.
Kita Seichi arrived at Angangxi late at night.
Although Kita Seiichi traveled back and forth between Hailar and Changchun several times, this place only appeared on the map hanging on the wall of his office and war room, because Changchun and Hailar were far away, and he usually took a plane. This time, too, the troops went first, and he arrived at Qiqihar at night by plane, and then took a car from Qiqihar to Angangxi to join the 23rd Division and the army reinforcement team.
When Kitacheng arrived at Angangxi, the main force led by Lieutenant General Nishihara Kanji, commander of the 23rd Division, had not yet arrived, and no matter how anxious he was to make meritorious contributions, he had to sleep in Angangxi and wait for the 23rd Division to arrive.
This sleep, I slept out of Kita Seiichi's ghost mind again.
Xi Duo Chengyi lived too comfortably in Hailar, sleeping on the hard bed of the Japanese garrison in Angangxi was as uncomfortable as it was, lying on the bed tossing and turning and unable to sleep, thinking about it, he felt that he had to be surprised to fight with Liu Yimin, otherwise, once Liu Yimin detected his actions, I am afraid that not to mention meritorious service, even whether he can save his head has to be said separately.
Kita Seiichi only sobered up a little at this time, and knew that he was afraid.
Kita Makoto couldn't sleep when he thought of this, so he simply got up and walked around the yard, no one knew what this old devil was thinking.
When dawn came, Kita Seiichi called Yamada Otozo, commander of the Kwantung Army, and reported that he had arrived at Angangxi, and that the main force of the 23rd Division and the army replenishment team could arrive this morning. After the arrival of the main force of the 23rd Division, he planned to rest in concealment during the day and march at night, enter and occupy Taonan with sudden movements, establish an army headquarters in Taonan, and ensure the smooth operation of the Taoang Railway, so as to facilitate the transportation of the main force of the Fifth Army that arrived later.
Taonan is 312 kilometers away from Siping Railway, which is absolutely safe. Moreover, once the main force of the Fifth Army arrives, the two armies can join forces and directly attack the main anti-Japanese coalition forces of the Northeast People's Anti-Japanese Army on the front line of Gongzhuling and Siping from west to east. It can even go south to pounce on Shenyang. From a strategic point of view, Kita Seiichi's thinking is consistent with Yamada's deployment, and it is still very clever
