[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 1149: The Kwantung Army that Knocked Down the Altar (Ask for Subscription!) , ask for a monthly pass, ask for everything! ）

The battle continued, and the casualties of both Xu Hu's troops and the Japanese army were heavy. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info But both sides have a firm reason to fight, so both sides are holding on.

Ma Zheng of Chengde is also paying close attention to the battle at the front line, especially Xu Hu's department, which is rampage in the hinterland of the enemy.

Ma Zheng knew that this was a big adventure, Xu Hu's troops not only had to kill and injure a large number of Japanese troops in the battle, but more importantly, they had to jump out of the enemy's encirclement at the right time, otherwise they were likely to be surrounded and annihilated by the Japanese army, which Ma Zheng did not want to see.

The battle in the northeast region should not be able to tell the winner in a short period of time, and with those strong fortifications, it is not something that can be conquered by a little devil in a short time, so Ma Zheng's order to Xu Hu is to hold on for more than 20 days.

At this time, the military and political bosses all over the world were completely stunned by Ma Zheng, a young Chinese general, who commanded his troops to complete a gorgeous attack in just over two months.

Everyone was amazed by Ma Zheng's superb command level, and it was difficult for them to imagine that Ma Zheng's army was competing with 400,000 elite troops to set up a platform for tens of thousands of troops, let alone that these tens of thousands of troops were competing to turn the entire core area that the Japanese attached great importance to.

Now that the fighting in the hinterland of the northeast has entered a period of brutal confrontation, if the Kwantung Army cannot wipe out all of Ma Zheng's troops in a short period of time, or drive them out of the northeast, then it will definitely have a far-reaching impact on the next battle.

Since the end of September, the Eastern Expedition launched by the Saibei Corps has lasted for 2 months and 22 days, and both the Kwantung Army and the Saibei Corps have reached the limit of what they can bear.

Maybe the Kwantung Army is a little better, Bi Jing's Kwantung Army is much more convenient than the Saibei Corps in terms of logistics supply and soldier replenishment, and the puppet government of the puppet Manchukuo is a tiger, resulting in the consumption of the little devils being much smaller than that of the Saibei Corps.

Although the various military regions of the Saibei Corps fought very well, due to the serious consumption of ammunition, supply difficulties began to appear, and the remaining troops of Xu Hu's unit in the central area of the battlefield gradually decreased, and the top brass of the Saibei Corps already thought that it was time to end this battle.

On the evening of December 6, under Xu Hu's order, the last infantry regiment holding Jiamusi jumped out of the enemy's encirclement, and the Japanese Kwantung Army independently mixed into the 134th Brigade to occupy Jiamusi.

On the 7th, all the newspapers and media of the puppet Manchurians controlled by the Japanese army rushed to report this brilliant military victory of the Kwantung Army, and at the same time, the Japanese puppet media in Japan and in the Chinese customs also boasted about this operation of the Kwantung Army.

According to the data released by the Kwantung Army, the 180,000 elite Kwantung Army under the command of Lieutenant General Yoshimoto Sadachi, chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, suffered heavy losses in the 22-day battle, and achieved a brilliant record of killing 160,000 elite infantry, capturing 20,000, and wounding at least 150,000 infantry, resulting in the almost complete annihilation of Xu Hu's unit under Ma Zheng.

I don't know if it was a coincidence or intentionality, on the same day, the two sides in the northeastern battlefield stopped fighting almost simultaneously, and both sides invariably began to withdraw their troops and build new fortifications in areas conducive to defense, and the battlefield returned to a rare calm.

The Japanese army base camp was still very satisfied with the encirclement and suppression operation of the Kwantung Army Headquarters, and at least the results on the surface were acceptable, and it took less than a month to quell the huge wave of resistance in the 'Manchuria' area, which was not expected by the top brass of the base camp before the war.

Therefore, in view of the great merits of General Yamada Otozo and Lieutenant General Sadaichi Yoshimoto in this campaign, the base camp specially rewarded several senior officers of the Kwantung Army with different grades.

Although General Yamada Otozo was only awarded a second-class medal of bravery, which was not very high, this already satisfied the Japanese general.

You must know that some time ago, the puppet Manchurian region was considered to be full of disasters and difficulties, uprisings and rebellions one after another, coupled with the fact that many elites of the Kwantung Army were completely wiped out of the battle sequence by the Chinese army, these unfavorable events, disasters, tragedies, etc. added up to make General Yamada Otomi resign miserably, and the best result was equivalent to returning to China like Terauchi Shouichi back then, so it is rare to get a second-class Medal of Courage now.

Although he was not promoted to army general, he was awarded the first-class gold medal of Japan's extremely high standard, which is the highest honor that a Japanese soldier can get.

However, neither Yamada Otozo nor Yoshimoto Sadaichi was happy, because only they knew who was the real winner in this battle.

Although the Kwantung Army Headquarters demolished the east wall and made up the west wall, it finally recaptured all the counties and townships occupied by Xu Hu's department. But Lieutenant General Yoshimoto knew that they had not eliminated Xu Hu's troops, and that everything was just a lie boasted about for the sake of face. In fact, the losses of Xu Hu's troops were not large, and even far less than the number of dead and wounded of the Kwantung Army.

Xinjing. Command of the Kwantung Army.

General Yamada Otozo sat at his desk with a depressed face, and there were only one or two people in the entire office, and the atmosphere was indescribably solemn.

"Yoshimoto-kun, have the battle losses been counted?" Yamada Otozo asked helplessly.

Like all officers, whether won or lost, Yamada hated asking about battle losses, because every number on those documents represented the loss of a living life.

"Report to Your Excellency Commander, the detailed battle losses are still being counted, and because this loss is too large, it cannot be completely counted in a short period of time, so the humble post can only give you an approximate figure, and there should be some gaps between the deviation and the actual losses." Yoshimoto said cautiously.

"Let's hear it, we can't wait for the most detailed list of losses, which Yoshimoto-kun himself should know, because this time the empire has lost not only military, but also economic and political, so it is difficult to estimate an approximate figure in such a short period of time." Yamada Otozomichi.

"Your Excellency Commander, the military losses are the best calculation, and the estimated figures are not much different from the actual casualties, this time our Kwantung Army has used almost 70% of the elite troops, and there are traces of our battle with the Zhina people on the front stretching for thousands of miles from Shanhaiguan in South Manchuria to Jiamusi in North Manchuria. In this battle, our Kwantung Army lost at least 150,000 troops, of which 70,000 were killed in battle, and more than 80,000 were wounded and captured. "Yoshimoto Sadachi.

"Nani, 150,000 casualties, you have no statistical errors?" Admiral Yamada asked in disbelief.

"Hai, I have carefully checked it, it is indeed 140,000 troops, these are the soldiers lost by the Imperial Army, and we have not counted the troops lost by the Imperial Army, and I am afraid that there will be more if we add those." Yoshimoto replied in a deep voice.

"Yo Sai, Yoshimoto-kun, how big are the casualties of that branch?" Yamada Otozo will continue to ask.

"It should be much smaller than we should be, but it's enough for Ma Zheng to drink a pot, Bi Jing and their elite are just a little bit, the rest are all here to make up the number, and the losses are all real elites, after this battle, I'm afraid that the combat effectiveness of the main force of this branch will drop a lot."

"If you talk about the specific figures, there is no basis for what you say, and it is difficult to be convinced." Yamada Otozomichi.

"Yo Xi, according to the judgment of the humble position, the number of soldiers lost by the Chinese army should be at least more than 150,000, and one-tenth of them are cavalry." Yoshimoto Sada.

"The same 150,000?"

"Hai, there is an old saying in China, kill 10,000 enemies and lose 8,000. Besides, Ma Zheng's department exchanged 150,000 miscellaneous soldiers for 150,000 elites of the imperial army, and it was still the people who took advantage of it! "Yoshimoto Sadachi.

"Yo Xi, Yoshimoto-kun is right, the imperial army is really defeated in this battle, and the Kwantung Army will never be as high as before, and it was knocked down by Ma Zheng's department!" Yamada Otozo said with emotion.
