Prince Kaihito Miyayakito, the head of staff of the Japanese Army, and Keisuke Okada, Minister of War, were waiting for news from the Kwantung Army Headquarters, and sure enough, it didn't take long for them to receive a telegram from the Kwantung Army Headquarters again. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Admiral Minamijiro, commander of the Kwantung Army, telegraphed that the 7th Independent Mixed Brigade of the Kwantung Army had fought hard against the 152nd Division of the Red Banner Far East Special Army, defeated the division at about 4 p.m. on the same day, and had taken advantage of the victory to pursue the attack, and had already entered Lucy's territory.

The message was followed by the course of the engagement, as well as the approximate number of casualties among the armies of both sides.

Prince Zaihito Miyaji, the head of the General Staff Headquarters, and Keisuke Okada, the Minister of War, looked at each other, and both of them showed surprised expressions.

It was also amazing that the strength of a brigade could defeat the strength of a division of Lucy's army in such a short period of time.

It is important to note that this 7th Independent Mixed Brigade is a new army that has just been formed, that is, it is responsible for garrison or vigilance and other tasks, and this army is not expected to perform important combat missions.

Prince Zaihito of the Imperial Palace said with some puzzlement: "Lucy's army will not be so weak, a newly formed brigade can defeat the strength of a division, and it is said that their weapons and equipment are better than the imperial army, which is a little unreasonable." ”

Keisuke Okada was also a little puzzled, and asked: "Is there some accidental factor in it, no matter how bad Lucy's army is, it can't hold out for even a day, not to mention that they still have a large number of tanks and artillery, and in terms of weapons and equipment, they still have an advantage." ”

Prince Zaihito, head of the General Staff Headquarters, pointed to the annex of the telegram and said: "You can see that the annex has explained that it was Lucy's army attacking in the early stage, and the 7th Independent Mixed Brigade had resisted several of their attacks, and in the afternoon, the 7th Brigade counterattacked and completely collapsed Lucy's army. It's weird, it's hard to understand. ”

Keisuke Okada thought for a moment, and suddenly said, "By the way, didn't you receive a piece of information before?" The content is that Lucy's country is a little chaotic, and it seems that there will be a big purge, is it related to this matter? ”

Keisuke Okada's words reminded Prince Zaihito of the Idle Palace, and immediately asked people to find out this information, and after a closer look, it was really related to this matter.

Prince Zaihito of the Idle Courtyard and Keisuke Okada looked at each other for a moment, and both smiled evilly.

"Tell the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to come forward to negotiate with the Lucy people and immediately stop the fighting between the two sides, well, it is better to sign a non-aggression pact between the two countries, maintain friendly relations between the two countries, and promote a war in the Far East."

The language expressed by Prince Zaihito of the Imperial Palace is full of kindness and friendship, but the tone of his speech is extremely fierce, even gritting his teeth, where is there a reason that Minister of War Keisuke Okada does not understand?

"The prince's plan to delay the army is really high, and by the time Lucy is paralyzed, the imperial army is almost ready, looking for an opportunity to suddenly give him a hard blow, and the Far East is under the control of the imperial army. Now it is necessary to send a telegram and order the front-line troops to stop the offensive and withdraw from Lucy's territory to avoid another battle between the two armies. ”

War Minister Keisuke Okada looked happy, in the past, the imperial army did not want to plan the Far East, and it was not because he was worried that Lucy's army would not be easy to deal with, so he was afraid to make a decision.

Prince Zaihito, the head of the General Staff Headquarters, walked back and forth a few steps, suddenly stopped, and said, "This order is necessary. In addition, I feel that the Far Eastern Theater should be set up separately to facilitate the seizure of the Far East, and it is better to transfer Major General Seishiro Ban, deputy chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, to this post.

In addition, in order to reward the 7th Independent Mixed Brigade for its combat exploits, this unit was expanded and upgraded to a garrison division, so as to encourage the Imperial Army to fight bravely. ”

"Yes, Ogasawara has made meritorious contributions to the battle this time, and he should be commended. The planning of the Far East battle plan involves a relatively large area, and it is better to ask the emperor to come forward and coordinate it. After some deliberation, the two men had almost outlined the plan for the Far East.

At this time, the 7th Independent Mixed Brigade of the Kwantung Army, which was bravely pursuing the 152nd Division of the Red Banner Far East Special Group Army in the Far East, under the leadership of the brigade commander Ogasawara, almost destroyed the 152nd Division except for the soldiers of Lao Maozi's army who escaped by chance.

The morale of the 7th Independent Mixed Brigade was very high, like a victorious rooster, and it was a bit arrogant.

The sky was gradually getting dark, and the brigade commander Ogasawara did not dare to go any further, and ordered the army to stop.

Soon, an order from the Kwantung Army Command also came, ordering the 7th Separate Mixed Brigade to retreat and withdraw from Lucy's territory.

Although the commander of the Ogasawara Brigade was a little unwilling, he had to carry out the order and lead the army to retreat.

By this time, the total number of the entire brigade had dropped to about two thousand, and the day's fighting could be described as quite fierce.

The 12th Division of the Kwantung Army had already received the 7th Independent Mixed Brigade at the border, and the division commander Mu Yuanqing saw Ogasawara and said with a smile: "Ogasawara-kun, you can be really fierce, and you are not afraid of being dumplings by Lucy's army, and it will not be a second at that time." ”

Ogasawara probably forgot about the danger a long time ago, and this time he was a little scared, and said: "Commander of the Kigen Qing Division, Lucy's rear doesn't seem to have much sense of prevention, and it has been a long way to go deep into the territory to chase and kill, and I haven't seen the army they have received. If the Japanese Imperial Army took advantage of the situation to attack it, would it not occupy all of the Far East? ”

Lieutenant General Kimotokiyoshi was quite cautious and said, "Ogasawara-kun, it is not up to us to decide whether to start a war against Lucy's army, and we need an order from the General Staff Headquarters.

It's getting late today, hurry up and let the army rest.

The casualty rate is still very high, and the army needs to be replenished. After the victory of this operation, it is estimated that the General Staff Headquarters will soon issue a commendation order, and congratulations to Ogasawara-kun first. ”

"Thank you to the head of Mu Yuanqing, I really feel very tired when I say this, I'm afraid I'll fall asleep when I fall down." As he spoke, Major General Ogasawara began to sigh and show his exhaustion.

The commander of the Muyuan Qing Division let the 7th Independent Mixed Brigade rest, and the 12th Division took on the task of vigilance.

As soon as the war ended, it is estimated that the opponent's army is also accelerating to move this side, and I am afraid that I dare not have a trace of carelessness in the past few days, otherwise, the consequences will be unpredictable.

Yes, the units of the Red Banner Far Eastern Special Army have already received orders and are on their way to retreat.

Since most of the troops were mobilized to participate in the attack on the Northland Volunteers, who knew that they were about to reach their destination, they suddenly received the latest order to immediately stop the attack on the Northland Volunteers, and the army immediately moved south to deal with the invasion of the Kwantung Army.

Nima, the whole day has been running away, going back and forth to take some unjust roads.

Although the troops complained in their hearts, they did not dare not carry out the order and urgently went south. (To be continued.) )
