Chapter 7733 The Kwantung Army's Abnormal Movement (Ask for Subscription!) ）

The unusual reaction of the Kwantung Army

In the conference room of the Kwantung Army headquarters, almost all the senior officers of the entire Kwantung Army at the rank of lieutenant general and above gathered here, waiting for the commander Mitsu to call from General Lang....

"The commander has come down...."Just as the voice of the commander of the headquarters had just entered the conference room, dozens of generals with the rank of lieutenant general on their shoulders stood up from their seats almost at the same time.

"Everyone, sit down..."Quickly walked to his seat, seeing the performance of his subordinates, General Mitsu nodded with satisfaction, and then, waved his hand, and spoke.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you are all the best generals of my Kwantung Army, and the meeting held here today, to put it seriously, is almost related to the life and death of hundreds of thousands of my Kwantung Army. Therefore, here, I would like to emphasize that the specific content of today's meeting, without the authorization of the headquarters, no one is allowed to leak out. Otherwise, military law is engaged in..."A pair of murderous eyes, after quickly scanning dozens of generals, Mitsu ordered every time General Lang with a serious face.

"Hayi...."

"Okay, now I would like to ask the Chief of Staff to introduce to you the specific content of the sudden emergency meeting today..."General Mitsu nodded with satisfaction. Immediately, he set his eyes on the chief of staff next to him, Lieutenant General Toshima Botaro.

"Hayi, Commander...."After speaking, the chief of staff, Lieutenant General Toshima Botaro, stood up from his seat with a serious face. Then, he took out a telegram and spoke to the dozens of generals sitting in front of him.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I would now like to read to you a telegram personally sent by His Majesty the Emperor to the Kwantung Army.......His Majesty the Emperor's Divine Decree that, in order to put an end to the war on the battlefield in China at an early date, it has been decided by the Imperial Council to change the course of aggression against China while China is once again in an internal situation. From now on, the imperial troops in North China and Northeast China will mainly hold on. At the same time, Chōu transferred the main forces of the Kwantung Army to form the Southern Expeditionary Group, with the Supreme Commander of the Kwantung Army as the commander-in-chief. With the support of the Combined Fleet, immediately break through and join the Southern Combat Sequence......"

"Buzz buzz..."As soon as the chief of staff's voice fell, the conference room, which had just been quiet, immediately became noisy. Dozens of generals, after hearing the report of the chief of staff, immediately showed a variety of expressions on their faces, some were angry, some were puzzled, some were thoughtful....

"Yaga...... It's all quiet, as a senior general of the Great Empire's Kwantung Army, do you want me to personally maintain discipline for everyone? Ladies and gentlemen, do you have any questions about His Majesty the Emperor's edict? If there is, bring it up immediately...."Slapped the table in front of him, and when the entire conference room became quiet again, Mitsu ordered every time he was a general Lang with a dissatisfied face.

"Ha Yi, Commander, do you have something to say?" As soon as General Mitsu's words fell, a lieutenant general division commander quickly stood up from the table. Then, he said angrily.

"Speak..."

"Your Majesty, the entire Manchurian region, under the decades-long operation of our Kwantung Army, has become, to a certain extent, the territory of our great empire. Do we really want to abandon the Manchurian region, which our Kwantung Army has worked so hard to manage, and go south to fight? I want to know, why? ”

For a while, the entire conference room, everyone's eyes, were focused on the commander in front of him, waiting for the commander Mitsu to explain to Admiral Lang....

Before Commander Mitsu could speak, the chief of staff, who was sitting next to him, first stood up from his table. Then, he walked quickly to the huge battle map and explained.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I won't say anything about the current distribution of enemy forces in the three eastern provinces, but everyone is very clear. The whole situation, it can be said with great certainty, is very unfavorable for our Kwantung Army. Under such circumstances, it is almost impossible for our Kwantung Army troops to get out of the current predicament by virtue of their own strength. To put it even more ugly, now, our Kwantung Army troops are no longer the Kwantung Army of a year ago. More importantly, we have reached a critical juncture of our own survival..."

Seeing that everyone nodded in agreement, the chief of staff continued to speak. And now, the united front of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party has broken down, and the whole of China has once again fallen into internal luàn. This is a great opportunity for our great empire to launch a general offensive and take over the whole of China in one fell swoop. In accordance with the order of His Majesty the Emperor, our Kwantung Army troops, except for the necessary troops, continue to contain the activities and the ** Northeast Field Army in the Northeast region. The remaining main forces immediately broke through. With the cooperation of the Combined Fleet, it joined the southern battlefield and annihilated all the armies in southern China in one fell swoop. Then, taking advantage of the situation, they went north, and with the cooperation of the North China Front Army and the remaining troops of our Kwantung Army in the three eastern provinces, they completely annihilated the Eighth Route Army in North China, the Northeast and Northeast Field Army, and finally occupied the whole of China..."

"Ladies and gentlemen, after the study of me and the commander, such a route of aggression against China, although our Kwantung Army troops have lost part of their interests. However, it is very beneficial for the whole situation. Because, as long as it is properly coordinated, the whole of China will soon become the territory of our great empire....therefore, I hope that you can carefully analyze the holy decree of His Majesty the Emperor, and do not act rashly and destroy the overall situation. Because all of us are the Imperial Army under the leadership of His Majesty the Emperor......"

"Hayi, please forgive the commander. It's too reckless to be humble, and without clarifying the facts, you have contradicted the commander and your subordinates...."Hearing this, I saw the huge strategic ideas on the map. The commander of the lieutenant general's division, who was still angry just now, immediately had a look of shame on his face...

"It's okay....Ladies and gentlemen, do you have any other questions about His Majesty the Emperor's oracle?" General Mitsu nodded with satisfaction and continued to ask.

"No...."

"Yo Xi, very nice. Now, I will ask the chief of staff to assign you specific tasks. As for the specific route for the breakthrough of the main forces of the Kwantung Army, at that time, I will inform you through the radio ...."

"Hayi..."

In the end, after a day-long debate, the whole meeting reached a happy conclusion.

The meeting decided that the 15 newly formed divisions and regiments just formed by the Kwantung Army and all the local garrison units would be responsible for remaining in the three eastern provinces and containing all the Northeast Field Armies operating in the three eastern provinces....Of course, it is obviously impossible to keep such a large area with only a few hundred thousand newly formed troops....

So, after careful analysis, the Kwantung Army command finally decided. All the remaining troops immediately abandoned their original positions, and then all gathered in two areas centered on Changchūn and Harbin. Engage in confrontation with the Northeast Field Army operating in the vicinity of the three eastern provinces, and contain the Northeast Field Army in the three eastern provinces as much as possible.

At the same time, the entire Kwantung Army, the remaining dozens of field divisions and regiments, Jīng Rui, took almost all the heavy weapons of the entire Kwantung Army and, under the cover of the aviation regiment to which they belonged, broke through......

With a series of secret telegrams, from the headquarters of the Kwantung Army, it was quickly sent to the hands of the top commander of each unit. The entire three eastern provinces, nearly one million Kwantung Army troops, immediately began to operate rapidly like a huge war machine.

As the entire three eastern provinces, the Northeast Field Army, the sworn enemy of the Kwantung Army....Although the Intelligence Department could not detect the specific plans of the Japanese military top brassment at the first time. However, the deployment of the Kwantung Army troops distributed in various places could not hide the eyes of the intelligence officers of the Northeast Field Army. In this way, under the investigation of intelligence officers, one piece of information after another, like snow huā, was placed in front of Liu Hua, the headquarters of the Northeast Field Army.

"Commander-in-chief, what is the ultimate purpose of such a sudden military transfer of the Kwantung Army, so far, I have not had any clue...."Seeing the military map in front of him, which had been drawn with arrows, Chief of Staff Zuo Quan still said with a puzzled expression.

"I don't understand what the specific purpose of this military transfer of the Kwantung Army is...."Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan also shook his head very helplessly, and then said....

For a time, political commissar Luo Ronghuan and chief of staff Zuo Quan. The eyes of the two people focused on the commander-in-chief Liu Hua at the same time, hoping that the commander-in-chief Liu Hua in front of him could give a reasonable explanation.

However, at this moment, Liu Hua himself regretted it. With his own accession, the entire situation of China's Anti-Japanese War, compared with the previous life, has been changed by himself. At this moment, in the absence of historical events to learn from, Liu Hua's head is also a húnluàn, and he does not know the specific intention of the Kwantung Army's move. However, as Liu Hua, who has a certain understanding and research of the Kwantung Army, believes that behind this huge military transfer, there must be a huge conspiracy ......, and for a while, the entire war room immediately fell into a deathly tranquility.

"Commander-in-chief, the latest information just came from the Intelligence Department, a large number of Kwantung Army jīng Rui, is secretly assembling in the Siping area. According to the reconnaissance of intelligence personnel in the Siping area, so far, hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops have been assembled in the entire Siping area...."A few days later, another piece of information reached Liu Hua's ears....

"What are you talking about, hundreds of thousands of jīng rui, all gathered in Siping....what does the Kwantung Army want to do, Siping is such a small place, so many jīng rui troops have gathered... Is there any other news? Liu Hua's brows immediately furrowed, and he followed closely and continued to ask.

"There is....Siping area, not only has hundreds of thousands of Kwantung Army gathered. In addition, the local garrisons of the Kwantung Army, which were scattered in various places, also began to abandon some surrounding counties and strongholds, and began to assemble in Harbin and Changchūn....At present, the troops stationed at the edge of the base area have successfully accepted dozens of county seats. However, it is a pity that almost all the strategic materials in these counties that were voluntarily abandoned by the Japanese army have been looted...."Chief of Staff Zuo Quan continued to report...

After a short period of contemplation, Liu Hua asked, "Chief of Staff, what do you think?" ”

"Commander-in-Chief, I think it is certain now that the current Kwantung Army forces must be shrinking their defenses. Loot as many strategic materials as possible, and fight a protracted offensive and defensive battle with us centered on Harbin and Changchūn. However, the Kwantung Army gathered so many jīng sharp troops all in the Siping area. I don't understand this question. Comparing the map in front of him, Zuo Quan analyzed with a contemplative face....

"I agree with you. For the hundreds of thousands of Kwantung Army that had just been assembled in the Siping area. I thought about it for a while, Siping is so big, if you are here, and we have a large-scale strategic decisive battle, there is no strategic depth at all. Therefore, we don't have to think about the decisive battle with our army in Siping, we can deny it..."Regarding Zuo Quan's analysis, Liu Hua nodded approvingly and said.

"If it weren't for a strategic decisive battle with us, why would the Kwantung Army gather so many troops, and it was also the jīng rui in the entire Kwantung Army. What they want to do. Do you know that it is not our opponent and plan to run away...."Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan suddenly said.

"Escape....Wait a minute....Yes, it's a breakthrough, it's a breakthrough....Chief of Staff, Political Commissar, if my guess is right, our old opponent, the Kwantung Army, must be planning to break through..." Liu Hua's face immediately showed a thoughtful look. Then, facing the two partners around him, he responded with a j-moving face...

"Breakout? How is it possible, Commander-in-Chief, to tell me your reasons? The political commissar asked rhetorically with an incredulous expression.

However, as soon as the words of political commissar Luo Ronghuan fell, the face of Chief of Staff Zuo Quan, also for the first time, lù showed a thoughtful look. Then, he spoke.

"Commissar, the commander-in-chief is right, nothing is impossible ... If the Kwantung Army continues to hold on, there is only one way waiting for them, and that is to annihilate the whole army under the heavy encirclement and suppression of our Northeast Field Army... And only by breaking through the encirclement, the main forces of the Kwantung Army can be preserved....However, I am not particularly clear about what will happen after the Kwantung Army breaks through ...."

Just when the two of them once again set their eyes on Liu Hua. Looking at the map, Liu Hua, who looked pensive, had a thoughtful look on his face. Seeing the eyes of the two partners, Liu Hua opened his mouth to explain....

"Political commissar, chief of staff, I don't know what you think of the war in Central China and our New Fourth Army and troops....Of course, I believe that the final winner must be our New Fourth Army. What I want to ask is, what kind of huge impact will this incident have on the entire domestic war situation..."

"If nothing else, first of all. The second cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party will definitely break down. Perhaps, the whole of China will once again fall into a civil war...."Speaking of the great changes that had just taken place in Guannai, political commissar Luo Ronghuan said with a worried face.

"Well, if the whole of China is once again in the midst of a civil war. Who do you think would most like to see this result in? Liu Hua continued to ask. "Needless to say, of course it's a little ghost... If we in China are once again caught in a civil war, and the little devil who has already fallen into the quagmire of war in China is likely to usher in a new development opportunity..."Luo Ronghuan replied without thinking.

"That's right, it's the little ghost....I believe that we can see such a conclusion, and the little ghost can see it. Such a good opportunity, our opponent will not let it go easily....think about it again, although the war that took place in Central China affected the second cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. However, it doesn't have much impact on us in the Northeast..."

Seeing that both of them nodded thoughtfully, Liu Hua's words changed sharply and continued:

"The war in the Suzhou-Anhui region has not had much impact on us. However, the anti-Japanese war of the army south of the Huai River in the Qinling Mountains had a very huge impact. After all, the army is not as united as we are, and it has become a well-known thing that there are many factions ...."

"Let's imagine again if the Kwantung Army suddenly mobilizes 300,000 jīng Rui to go south and participate in the battle against the army. What kind of situation will the entire army south of the Huai River in the Qinling Mountains fall into..."

For a moment, the entire war room immediately fell into silence. Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan, Chief of Staff Zuo Quan, both of them opened their mouths in shock, facing the operational map in front of them, digesting the conclusion that Liu Hua had just said....

A few minutes later, Chief of Staff Zuo Quan slowly reacted from the shock. Then, he spoke: "Commander-in-chief, if the situation is as you say, the army in the south will face an attack by more than 600,000 Japanese troops. This would be a great catastrophe for an army full of factions..."

"Commander-in-Chief, this matter is too serious. I suggest that you immediately report your analysis to the central authorities. At the same time, mobilize heavy troops to block the Kwantung Army that broke through as much as possible..."After listening to the chief of staff's answer, political commissar Luo Ronghuan asked with an anxious face....

Hua nodded affirmatively, and then ordered.

"Political commissar, the matter of reporting to the Central Committee, I will give it to you....As for the matter of mobilizing heavy troops, I will give it to me and the chief of staff. Let's go our separate ways and strive to be able to respond to all changes with the same..."
