Although Admiral Yamada's telegram asking for help attracted the attention of the base camp in Tokyo, many military officers and politicians did not agree to send troops to reinforce the Kwantung Army at this time, for many reasons. The most important thing is that the Kwantung Army is the most powerful military group of the Japanese army, and its strength has always been deeply rooted in the hearts of the Japanese people and high-ranking officials. Many people know that they are not clear or unwilling to admit that the Kwantung Army will fail, and although Yamada Otsuzo made it clear on the telegram that the Kwantung Army had suffered an unprecedented major setback, there are still many people who think that Yamada Otozo is exaggerating.

In the eyes of many people, although the Kwantung Army is not the most powerful military group in the world, it is not a million elites, although it is impossible to win battles all the time, but it is also impossible to lose so quickly. Isn't it a big joke that the two sides went to war on October 18, and it has only been half a month now, and the Kwantung Army has not even lasted half a month. Based on this situation, the base camp rejected Yamada Otozo's request on the grounds that reinforcements had already departed and were about to arrive in Korea in the near future.

The reinforcements mentioned by the base camp are just the two newly built divisions and regiments promised to the Kwantung Army before, and the two C-class divisions add up to only 30,000 people, and they are all composed of new soldiers, not to mention the low combat effectiveness, and the weapons and equipment are also very poor, and there is not a single heavy weapon that General Yamada Oto's needs, and even if the reinforcements of the two divisions go to Manchuria, they will not be of much help to the erosive war situation at this time.

General Yamada Otosan is really anxious this time, if the country does not give reinforcements, he really has to order the puppet Manchurian government to move the capital, Changchun can't stay anymore, the daily routine bombing of the people has exhausted the morale of the Changchun defenders. Although Hattori Shotaro on the Erlongshan front line fought well, using the terrain advantage to finally block the powerful armored group in China, but this only slowed down the speed of the Shina's attack, and did not defeat or completely annihilate the Shina, on the contrary, the Shina people completely annihilated Hattori Kotaro's armored group on the first day of the Erlongshan Resistance Battle, resulting in the troops on the Erlongshan front line could only passively defend and could not carry out an effective counterattack.

Moreover, according to the news from the front, the people of China have invented a new type of weapon, which is quite large in number and extremely simple to operate. But this seemingly simple weapon has a significant effect on infantry anti-tank, and the armored unit under Hattori Kotaro was defeated by this mysterious artilleryman. And this weapon is also very effective against the bunker, during this time, although Hattori Kotaro's department resisted the crazy attack of the Shina people, but the loss of the department was extremely heavy, and the telegram for help was sent like a snowflake, and Yamada Otozo really couldn't hold it anymore to ask for help from the base camp so urgently, but he didn't expect to get such a reply.

Yamada Otozo does not give up, he has been forced to such a point, not to mention a counterattack, self-protection is so reluctant that the Kwantung Army must get domestic assistance, especially heavy weapons and aviation units, otherwise Manchuria, the land that the empire has enjoyed for more than ten years, will be taken back by the Chinese people, and it will be much more difficult to take it back when the time comes.

In desperation, Yamada Otozo had to turn to his old boss and political ally Prime Minister Hideki Tojo, and now the political situation in Japan is dominated by Hideki Tojo's family, and the military headquarters that has always been strong has reduced the suppression of the prime minister at this time with the semi-retirement of Prince Zaihito of Kanin Miyahito and the capture of Prince Fushiminomiya. In addition, Hideki Tojo's political opponents were killed, wounded, and captured, and only Tojo became a fisherman.

Originally, Tojo planned not to express his opinion on this matter, because he knew very well that once he was too eager, then his relationship with Yamada Otozo General was likely to attract more attacks, which would not help the overall situation. …,

But now it was different, and after listening to Yamada Otozo's detailed report on the situation in Manchuria, Hideki Tojo was extremely surprised. He himself served in the Kwantung Army, and he also held the important position of chief of staff, so Tojo himself was aware of the importance of Manchuria to the Japanese Empire. Moreover, Hideki Tojo is different from Lao Chiang and others, Hideki Tojo was born in the military, although he was the first powerful minister in the political arena of the Japanese prime minister at this time, but he himself was also a general of the Japanese army, and his strategic and tactical command level was not much worse than his political skills, and in this respect, Chairman Chiang, who was called "only equivalent to an infantry battalion commander" in Chongqing, was obviously incomparable with Hideki Tojo.

Hideki Tojo also felt the seriousness of the matter, if according to what Admiral Yamada said, then at this time the Chinese and Soviet troops already had an absolute strategic advantage, because the Kwantung Army lacked strong armored forces and independent aviation units, then it was difficult for the entire front line of the Imperial Japanese Army to take advantage of the powerful armored forces of China and the Soviet Union.

Now the million-strong army of the Chinese people is attacking South Manchuria and Central Manchuria, and the Soviet Union is moving south and North Manchuria. Despite all the best efforts of the Kwantung Army, it was still defeated and retreated. According to General Yamada, the intention of the Chinese people to cut off the Kwantung Army is extremely obvious, and the two divisions of Li Dingguo and Li Zhaolin under the command of Lu Zhengcao's department have already advanced westward to the line of Panshi, Jilin, and Yongji, and if Lu Zhengcao's department and Han Yunhua's department meet in Changchun, the entire Kwantung Army will be cut off by the Chinese people with Changchun as the boundary, and then the 400,000 troops in North Manchuria, will become a real turtle in the urn, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape the siege of the Canzhi people, and it is very likely that they will be divided and eaten in the end.

It can't be delayed any longer, and this time I heard another name from the mouth of General Yamada Otozo that made Hideki Tojo extremely angry - Han Yunhua. This name has followed Hideki Tojo like a spell for 5 years, and Hideki Tojo has been spurring himself all the time in the past 5 years, and for Hideki Tojo, the shame that General Shina brought to him is by no means clear in a few words.

Hideki Tojo didn't dare to say how good his tactical command was, but he thought he should be a competent commander. But it was such a competent commander who planted an unprecedented heel in the position of commander of the Chahar Dispatch Army.

Xinghe, a small county town that is not even barely counted as a big town, is where Hideki Tojo tasted bitterness for the first time. As the commander of the Chahar Dispatch Corps, he not only caused the demon general in China to wipe out an entire infantry brigade, but also caused Major General Seiichiro Yuhara to lose his life, which was a shame that he could not wash away.

What is the longest feeling in the world, it is not love, love may deteriorate and betray; It's not hatred, hatred will dissolve with this time and there will be peace, the world's longest-lasting emotion is shame, and only shame will accompany you for a lifetime. Originally, Hideki Tojo deliberately avoided hearing the name of the Shina general, but during this time, as the situation in the Shina battle took a turn for the worse, the name of the Shina general appeared at the military meetings of the base camp from time to time, and the frequency of appearing was getting higher and higher, which made him very helpless. It is precisely because of the birth of that general of China that the situation on the battlefield of the entire China is so difficult, and in just a few years, the Great Japanese Empire has lost the entire Saibei, Suiyuan, Chahar, Shanxi, Rehe, Beiping, Tianjin, Shimen, and Dezhou, and now even Manchuria has been threatened, and it is an unprecedented threat.

Hideki Tojo had studied all of Han Yunhua's battle cases, and many high-ranking officers of the Japanese army also said that they had studied Han Yunhua, and although this person had no rules when he sent out his troops, he seemed to fight whenever he wanted, and he did not think about many things. But there is a common characteristic, that is, not to fight uncertain battles. Han Yunhua sent troops to Saibei, and the Japanese Empire withdrew its troops from Saibei in a gloomy manner, not only losing the entire Saibei region, but also taking a regiment of the Allied Army and a Lieutenant General Lian Zhaopan. The Chinese marched into eastern Hebei, so the connection between the Japanese Empire inside and outside the Shanhai Pass was interrupted, and a large number of elite troops were gathered and annihilated in eastern Hebei by the Chinese people, including the second division of the most elite troops of the empire, and among the people killed in the battle were also Lieutenant General Ani Toji, the commander of the second division. Han Yunhua sent troops to the whole of North China, the North China Front of the Great Japanese Empire was defeated on all fronts, and the largest military retreat of the Great Japanese Empire since the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, only about 100,000 of the more than 300,000 North China Front troops escaped to Shandong, and the rest of the more than 200,000 were all annihilated. Now that this Shina general has set his sights on Manchuria again, even Hideki Tojo himself shuddered a little. And now this trend is already very clear, the people of China and the Soviets want to eat Manchuria in one bite, and even want to completely annihilate the Kwantung Army. …,

If someone dared to say this in front of him before, Hideki Tojo would definitely give him two big slaps, and then roared: "The Great Japanese Empire is invincible!" ”

But now I am a little worried, that general of China is too difficult to figure out, his achievements in strategic command are enough to make all opponents awe-inspired, and his ruthlessness is also deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, the exact information just came, this general of China has just slaughtered nearly 100,000 imperial troops and the imperial army in Baicheng. As for the reason, Hideki Tojo also knew it, but when he ordered the slaughter of 100,000 enemy troops and laid down his arms, Hideki Tojo asked himself that it would be difficult for him to do it.

Hideki Tojo knew that the war on the front line was urgent, so he did not dare to slack off, and wrote the battle on the Manchurian front in detail and reported it to His Majesty Emperor Hirohito, hoping to convene an imperial meeting to discuss the reinforcement of the Kwantung Army, and proposed a large-scale reinforcement of the Kwantung Army, mainly for heavy weapons and aviation units, otherwise the Japanese Empire was about to lose control of the Manchurian region.

However, I have to say that the luck of General Yamada Otozo and the Kwantung Army is really bad, and after watching Tojo Hideki's recital, Emperor Hirohito's tone has also loosened, and he almost agreed to Tojo Hideki's request. However, at this time, the news of the great rout of the Southern Army came, and then Marshal Terauchi Shouichi, commander of the Southern Army, sent a telegram saying that on the night of November 4, the expeditionary force stationed in Burma in China, with the assistance of the US Navy and Air Force, had dealt a final blow to the imperial troops stationed in Tengchong and other places in China, and the 18th Division, the most elite mountain division in the empire, had been completely wiped out, and the other two divisions of the 15th Army had also suffered heavy casualties and more than half of them.

Now that the Chinese have captured Linjiang and Ruili, they will directly attack Burma if they fight further south. The 15th Army stationed in Burma was forced to retreat, and the Chinese troops were directed at Mandalay and Lashio, and the major military victory achieved by the Southern Army of the Japanese Empire a year ago was gradually being smoothed out by the Chinese people, so Marshal Terauchi Shouichi asked the base camp for support.

In addition, according to the reconnaissance and knowledge of the intelligence department of the Southern Army, two new aircraft carriers of the US Navy have been launched and put into service, and the strength of the US Navy has greatly increased. Admiral Yamamoto originally planned to compete with the U.S. Navy, but at this time he did not dare to leave the coastline.

Compared with the army, the whole of Japan attaches great importance to the navy, and the Japanese navy was built by Japan with the strength of the whole country, and many people are surprised and admired by the achievements of the Japanese navy. After receiving a telegram from General Terauchi Shouichi, the Imperial Council, which was still discussing whether or not to reinforce the Kwantung Army, quickly changed to how to reinforce the Southern Army, how many troops to reinforce, and when to leave, and the plan proposed by Hideki Tojo to reinforce the Kwantung Army was quickly forgotten.

In fact, at this time, Hideki Tojo already had some eyebrows, and it seemed that there was already some kind of tacit understanding between the Shina people, the Americans, and the Soviets, or there were already naked deals and agreements. Otherwise, it could not have been such a coincidence, the Communist Party of China and Soviet Russia had just launched a large-scale offensive in Manchuria, and the Americans and the government of China launched a fierce attack in Southeast Asia, which did not make sense, it was a premeditated battle. However, these are all speculations by Hideki Tojo, and even if he says it, few people believe it.

Japan's Southern Army is a theater assault corps set up by Japan in Southeast Asia, and is listed as the three main forces of overseas Japanese forces along with Japan's Kwantung Army and China's Dispatch Army, and is directly under the army base camp in Tokyo. At the same level, there were also the Eastern Army, the Chinese Dispatch Army, and the First and Second General Armies stationed in the Japanese mainland. The Southern Army was the most powerful strategic group of the Japanese army at this time, and it was even more powerful than Cantonese. To be precise, the Southern Army was not entirely a new army, and many of its units were drawn from elite corps in other theaters. For example, most of the troops from the Chinese Dispatch Army have four years of actual combat experience, especially the 5th Division, which is good at landing operations, and has been transferred to various places since the Sino-Japanese War and has gone through 100 battles. Originally part of the 5th Flying Group of the Kwantung Army, it is famous for its participation in the blazing air battle of Suzhnomonkan. At this time, the Southern Army accounted for 20% and 28% of Japan's total strength and the total number of front-line fighters in the country, and its strength could not be described as very powerful. …,

But even such a force was hit hard by the Shina people at this time, and at this time, Tojo Hideki really had no other way to help him except to secretly sigh that his old partner was too lucky. His Majesty the Emperor ordered that most of the country's war resources would be used to fight in the south, after all, no matter how bad the situation in Manchuria was, it was just a loss of a colony, and even if the Kwantung Army could not protect itself, it was still possible to retreat to Korea. However, if the Southern Army is defeated, the Yankees will definitely take the opportunity to occupy Okinawa Island and use Okinawa Island as a springboard to attack the Japanese mainland, and the life and death of the Kwantung Army will be insignificant compared to the attack on the mainland.

General Yamada Otozo didn't expect such a result, even if he moved Prime Minister Hideki Tojo out, it was the same result, and this time it hit him even harder.

On November 6, the battle situation once again took a major turn, a cavalry division of the Chinese army attacked Changling, and fought fiercely in the independent mixed 98th Brigade stationed in Changling.

General Yamada Otoyama was shocked into a cold sweat, and immediately ordered Major General Qingyuan to drive out the Chinese troops that had entered the city at all costs and defend Changling, the western gateway of Changchun.

However, Yamada Otozo's order only completely dragged the independent mixed 98th Brigade into hell, you must know that if the Qingyuan Brigade and the Qingyuan Brigade covered each other to retreat at that time, the Chinese Cavalry Division would have no way to take this well-equipped infantry brigade. But at this time, the Qingyuan brigade could not retreat at all after receiving the strict order from the headquarters, and became a shameful deserter as soon as it retreated, so when Han Yunhua's large army arrived, Major General Qingyuan was still organizing troops to counterattack, and when hundreds of thousands of Chinese infantry came in a row, the small county town of Changling only lasted an hour before it was declared recovered.

After capturing Changling, Han Yunhua's troops rushed to Changchun non-stop, and ordered Lu Zhengcao, Li Dingguo, Li Zhaolin and others to attack Changchun from east to west at the same time, and must complete the encirclement of the Northern Manchurian Japanese puppet army within ten days.

After the attack on Changling, General Yamada Oto-san immediately ordered the communication troops to contact the defenders of Tongyu, but there was no response, and General Yamada Oto-san knew that the infantry wing stationed in Tongyu was probably more than lucky.

From east to west, the entire Central Manchurian region has been occupied by the Chinese army except for the surrounding areas of Changchun, and now that Changling is lost, the large army of China will definitely come to Changchun in a short time, and the entire Kwantung Army Headquarters and the top level of the puppet Manchurian government will become prisoners and spoils of war for the Chinese people.
