[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 165: Increasing Troops in Manchuria (Ask for subscription!) , ask for a monthly pass, ask for everything! ）

Losing in many battles in a row, this is a huge blow to General Yamada Otozo. There was also an alarm behind www.biquge.info Xu Hu's 50,000 troops who were attacking south after seizing the Mudanjiang River, and their vanguard troops had arrived in Wangqing County, which had the potential to cut off the Kwantung Army's retreat to Korea.

More importantly, just last night, Siping, an important town only 200 kilometers away from Xinjing, suddenly defected due to the Imperial Allied Army's sudden defection, and the entire defensive line that the Imperial Japanese Army had easily built in the Central Manchurian region collapsed, and even Lieutenant General Kiguchi Kiichiro, commander of the Ninth Division, was killed in battle.

Now that Ma Zheng's troops have captured Siping, Li will have five days at most to reach Xinjing. Although there are still more than 100,000 troops in the Xinjing (Changchun) area, plus the 60,000 national defense forces of Manchukuo and more than 50,000 people withdrawn from the front line, the total strength is still as high as more than 200,000.

However, the morale of these troops cannot be ignored, and the state of almost all the soldiers is worrying, and the successive defeats have said that the fighting spirit of these soldiers has been exhausted, and it is indeed difficult to let them defend Xinjing.

The only thing General Yamada Otozo could do now was to ask for help, endless pleas for help, and in one day Yamada Otozo sent 8 telegrams to the country asking for help, urging reinforcements from all over the country to rush to Manchuria immediately.

In addition, Yamada Otozo hoped that the empire would transfer the air force group in the garrison to Manchuria and regain air supremacy. But unfortunately, Yamada Otozo's request was ruthlessly rejected.

There is also a reason why these politicians and military officers in Japan do not agree to send troops to reinforce the Kwantung Army, because the Kwantung Army is the most powerful military group in the Japanese army, and its strength has always been deeply rooted in the hearts of the Japanese people and high-ranking officials, and many people are unwilling to admit that the Kwantung Army will fail.

Although Yamada Otozo made it clear in the telegram that the Kwantung Army had suffered an unprecedented major setback, there were still many people who thought that Yamada Otozo was 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. It's impossible to win battles all the time, but it's also impossible to lose so quickly.

Isn't it a big joke that the Kwantung Army has not lasted even half a month since the war between the two sides started on January 6 and has not lasted even 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 only 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 Yamada Otozo did not have a single heavy weapon needed, and even if the reinforcements of the two divisions reached Manchuria, they would not be of much help to the erosive battle situation at this time.

Seeing the base camp's reply, Yamada Otozo smiled bitterly, the base camp said that the reinforcements would arrive within a week, and they could afford it in a week, but could the reinforcements really arrive in Manchuria after a week?

Obviously, it is impossible, and in a week the reinforcements may be able to reach the port of Incheon or Dalian, but neither Inchon nor Dalian is a distance of thousands of miles from New Kyoto, and if you march on foot by infantry alone, you will not be able to reach New Beijing in ten days.

This back and forth is half a month, will the people of China give the Imperial Japanese Army a chance to move calmly? Obviously, it is impossible, now that the people of China are encircling Harbin and seizing Xinjing, the intention is obvious, if you really have to wait for reinforcements to arrive, I am afraid that the daylily will be cold.

General Yamada Otozo 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.

Xinjing couldn't stay any longer, and the daily routine bombardment of the people of China had exhausted the morale of the Xinjing defenders. Although Sato Seiichi fought well on the Erlongsan front line, and finally blocked the powerful armored group of the Chinese people by taking advantage of the terrain, this only slowed down the speed of the Chinese attack, and did not defeat or completely annihilate the Chinese people.

And according to the news from the front, the people of China have invented a new weapon, which seems to be extremely simple but has a significant effect on infantry anti-tank, and it is also very effective against bunkers.

During this time, although Sato Tsuichi resisted the crazy attack of the Shina people, the losses of the department were extremely heavy, and the telegram for help was sent like snowflakes, and Yamada Otozo really couldn't hold on to it so urgently to ask for help from the base camp, but he didn't expect to get such a reply.

Yamada Otozo does not give up, he has been forced to this point, not to mention a counterattack, self-protection is reluctantly so 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 difficult to take it back when the time comes.

In desperation, General Yamada had no choice but to ask his old boss Hideki Tojo for help, he was Tojo's most important political ally in the country, and if he fell, it would definitely not be good news for Hideki Tojo.

Moreover, Hideki Tojo also served in the Kwantung Army, and he also had a certain affection for the Kwantung Army, and Yamada Otozo knew that Hideki Tojo absolutely did not want to see the Kwantung Army driven out of Manchuria in such a gloomy manner, or even annihilated.

The political situation in the country, Yamada Otozo, is still known, and now the country is dominated by the Tojo Hideki family, and the suppression of the prime minister has been reduced with the semi-retirement of Prince Zaihito of Kanin Palace and the capture of Prince Fushiminomiya. In addition, Hideki Tojo's political opponents were killed, wounded, and captured, and only Tojo became a fisherman.

Now there is really no person in Japan who dares not to buy the face of Hideki Tojo, as long as he is willing to help, the reinforcements that the Kwantung Army wants can still be had.

Things turned out to be as General Yamada Otozo thought, and Hideki Tojo inquired in detail about the war situation in the Tohoku region after receiving his telegram, and only after listening to Yamada Otozo's report did Tojo realize the seriousness of the matter.

As the prime minister of Japan, Hideki Tojo is very good in terms of military command level and strategic vision, at least in this regard, Tojo is much more clever than the one in Chongqing.

Tojo was well aware of the importance of Manchuria to the Japanese Empire, and if he lost Manchuria as a resource base, the Japanese would not be able to hold on for even three months and would be torn to pieces by the Allies.

At present, more than half of the arms on the battlefield in China need to be supplied by the Mukden Arsenal and the Xinjing Arsenal, and the remaining part is supplemented by small and medium-sized arsenals built in the occupied areas, and the country is only responsible for providing some heavy weapons. The Manchuria region actually served as a resource base for the 'holy war' of the Japanese Empire, and there was absolutely no room for error.

Originally, Tojo planned not to express his opinion on this matter, because he knew that if he showed too eagerness, his relationship with Yamada Otozo would probably 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.

And Hideki Tojo is different from Lao Jiang and others, Hideki Tojo is a soldier. According to General Yamada, the intention of the Shina people to cut off the Kwantung Army is extremely obvious, and as long as Yang Chengwu's troops break through the defense line of Erlongshan, the passage between North Manchuria and Central Manchu will be cut off.

And if Ma Desheng's department besieges Xinjing, and then joins forces with Xu Hu's department in Xinjing, then Zhongman and Nanman will also be cut off, and then the 400,000 troops of North Manchu and Zhongman will become a real turtle in the urn, I am afraid it will be difficult to escape the siege of the Canzana people, and it is very likely to be divided and eaten in the end.

It can no longer be delayed, and if it drags on any longer, I am afraid that the operation of the Great Japanese Empire for more than ten years will be in vain, and it will have to increase troops in Manchuria.
