When the information submitted by Zhou Yali was delivered to the Kwantung Army Headquarters, it was already 8 o'clock in the morning on April 3.

"What? The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Soviet Russia has arrived in Chahar. Ishihara Wan'er was shocked when he heard the shocking news in the Kwantung Army Headquarters, "Oops, Chahar and Soviet Russia are about to reconcile!" Then the 400,000 troops entrenched in Siberia will surely pounce on us like a tiger out of a cage. …”

Ishihara knew the horrors of the Siberian Army Group very well, and as the Chahar Heavy Armed Group that had been fighting against Soviet Russia for several years, their combat effectiveness was far greater than that of the ordinary Chahar army. If they hadn't been dragged by the Russians earlier, they would have gone south long ago. Now the garrison of Heilongjiang has long been drained by itself, and all that remains is some third-rate garrison, and expecting them to resist the wolf-like Siberian Army is as ridiculous as expecting a weak girl to defeat a group of vicious perverts.

Ishihara Wan'er shouted at a group of staff officers behind him like crazy, "Hurry up and order the Jilin side to immediately send no less than four divisions of troops to the north to support Heilongjiang, hurry!" It's too late! ”。

"Ishihara-kun, it's too late! A voice rang out beside Ishihara Waner, and a grim-faced Umezu Mijiro walked over, still holding a telegram in his hand. "Su Tong has officially telegraphed to the whole country, announcing that he will send troops to fully recover Manchuria. …”

On the morning of 3 April 27 of the Republic of China, General Su Tong, commander of the Seventh Theater of Operations in China, officially telegraphed to the whole country: From today onwards, Chahar will officially launch a campaign to comprehensively recover the three northeastern provinces, and the million-strong army of the Seventh Theater will simultaneously launch an all-out attack on the 500,000 Kwantung Army entrenched in the northeast from the three directions of Liaoning, Hailandpao, and Vladivostok. At the same time, Su Tong advised the Kwantung Army to surrender immediately and unconditionally, otherwise he would not mind sending all the Kwantung Army to hell.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, the 350,000 troops of the Siberian Group, which had already assembled in Hailanpao, took the lead in launching an attack on Heilongjiang, led by more than 300 "Northwest Tiger" tanks of Bai Yingliao's First Armored Division and more than 500 fighters of the Second and Third Air Divisions.

At the same time, Vladivostok's 150,000 expeditionary army, under the command of Sun Liren, also began to attack the Jilin defenders of the frontal enemy. However, it was 200,000 field divisions stationed in Jilin, so although the offensive of the expeditionary group army was also fierce, the progress was not as smooth as that of the Siberian group commanded by Bai Chongxi. Sun Liren commanded an army of 150,000 and attacked fiercely for two days with the cooperation of aircraft and heavy artillery, but only advanced less than two kilometers.

As for Mukden, Hu Lian commanded an army of 400,000 to kill Mukden, the center of Japanese rule in Manchuria. For a while, the eyes of the whole world were focused on the Northeast, and the Western world was exclaiming, this is a battle between two countries in the East that will determine their fate and future. If Japan is defeated, Japan, which has lost the northeast, will completely lose the initiative in China. If Chahar is defeated, the Kwantung Army will inevitably take the opportunity to advance westward and attack the Chahar provinces, then the powerful military industrial enterprises, financial centers and Duolun oil fields that Chahar has operated for many years will inevitably fall into the hands of the Japanese, and the Japanese, who have obtained these rich resources, will easily defeat the Chongqing government in China by relying on these resources. In this war, no one can afford to lose, and for both sides, taking a step back is an abyss.

Su Tong and Jiang Baili of the Zhangjiakou Seventh Theater Command stood beside a huge sand table and watched as the staff officers next to them used a wooden pole to move forward the model tanks, model airplanes, villains, and small flags representing the troops. There are also different reports on the battle reports that have just come from various units.

"The offensive of the Siberian Army Group is going well, it has now occupied the city of Sunoo and is advancing towards Bei'an.".

"Sun Liren reported that they had met with stubborn resistance from the Jilin defenders, and that their progress was slow! …”

Hu Lian came to report that they had advanced to 50 kilometers from Mukden, and the vanguard had already engaged the Japanese Kwantung Army stationed in Mukden. …”

"Good! Order the troops to intensify their attacks! It is necessary to make the Japanese army breathless, as long as the Siberian cluster can successfully attack Jilin and annihilate the 200,000 Kwantung Army stationed in Jilin with Sun Liren, then the big thing will be decided......" Su Tong, who personally commanded this battle that could be called the fate of the whole country, felt a little hot in his palms, and sweat slowly seeped out from his forehead.

"Why, aren't you a little nervous!." Jiang Baili on the side asked with a smile.

"Yes! This battle is too important for us in Huaxia, and it would be a lie to say that we are not nervous. Su Tong smiled bitterly and nodded.

Today, although our Senior Commander Su can already be said to have experienced a hundred battles and has commanded many battles, it stands to reason that he will not be too nervous, but this battle is too important, so important that no one can afford to lose, and it is impossible for our Senior Commander Su not to be nervous.

Su Tong thought for a while and ordered: "Order Gao Zhihang, the bomber group and the heavy bombers to increase the intensity of bombing the Mukden defenders" I don't believe it, until now, those little Japan still dare to play peek-a-boo with me! ”

En" Su Tong was right, the Fengtian defenders, who had been scattered like sheep in order to avoid bombing by planes, had regrouped and were ready to start meeting the menacing 400,000 troops commanded by Hu Yan.

However, as soon as the Japanese army, which had lost air supremacy, was indiscriminately bombed by bomber groups that had long been on standby, resulting in heavy casualties.

Umezu Mijiro was already struggling to hold on, and now the hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops and Manchukuo puppet troops around Mukden had been blown up by the overwhelming bomber swarms and thousands of heavy artillery swarms. The Kwantung Army was fine, after all, there was still the spirit of bushido barely supporting it, but the Manchurian puppet army did not have this kind of perseverance, and the only thing they could do was pray that the bombs would not fall on their heads.

On the third day of the battle, the Siberian Army Group, which poured in like a tidal wave, occupied the entire territory of Heilongjiang with lightning speed, and the commander of the Harbin garrison, Lieutenant General Yutian Suiyi, committed suicide by disembowelment when the city was broken.

The unforgiving Bai Chongxi commanded the army to kill Jilin without stopping, preparing to defeat the Jilin defenders together with Sun Liren's expeditionary group army. At this critical moment, an emergency meeting was held at the Japanese base camp under the chairmanship of Hirohito himself.

Hirohito, dressed in military uniform, sat on a large, imposing throne. Behind him are several ancient and luxurious gold screens, showing the extraordinaryness of this Yamato emperor. But at this time, the Son of Heaven sitting on it no longer has the majesty of the world, and his emaciated face is full of sorrow. But at this time, no one came to remind him of His Majesty's disgrace of the Emperor, because now everyone's mood is the same, and everyone should not laugh at the second child.

"Zhuqing, now that the Manchurian situation is critical, do you have any countermeasures?" Hirohito, as the leading brother, spoke first.

"Your Majesty!" The new military vice minister Hideki Tojo was the first to stand up, "Now that the Shina people are menacing, the Kwantung Army has no way to retreat, and we can only fight to the death with it to protect the national capital of our empire." ”

"Tojo-kun's move is to put my hundreds of thousands of Kwantung Army and millions of people in the reclamation regiment to death." Prince Zairen of the Xianyuan Palace stood up and shouted loudly. "Now that the people of China have an absolute advantage, they have surrounded the Mukden, especially the Siberian Army Group has occupied Heilongjiang and is rushing towards Jilin, if the 200,000 troops of Jilin are also surrounded or broken, then the 300,000 troops of Mukden will not be spared, how can we fight to the death with the people of China?"

"Humph! If you don't fight to the death, do you still have to surrender to the people of China? Hideki Tojo scoffed.

"No, they can retreat to North Korea and rely on the favorable terrain of North Korea to resist tank clusters and attacks from the air in China."

"But what hope was there for an empire that had lost Manchuria? If the empire loses Manchuria, the only thing that awaits us is destruction. ”

"Could it be that if we resist, we will be able to keep Manchuria? Umezu-kun had just arrived, and now he couldn't even get twenty planes to take off, and there were so many planes in the sky over Mukden that even throwing stones down could drown the Imperial soldiers. But what about our planes, and where are the planes of our empire? ”

Looking at Prince Zaihito of the Idle Palace, who was almost in a hysterical situation, everyone was silent. Once upon a time, the Japanese Kwantung Army, known as the flower of the imperial army, was so high-spirited, they had long ceased to regard the Chinese army as an opponent, but only three years later, it had fallen to the point of being completely annihilated, what an irony!

Just when everyone was silent and relatively speechless, the chief of the guard, Lieutenant General Anan Yuji, hurriedly walked in, "Your Majesty, Umezu Mijiro is coming, the people of China have used a large number of incendiary bombs and high-explosive bombs and thousands of heavy artillery to storm the Fengtian defense line, and the Fengtian defenders have suffered heavy casualties, and so far there have been nearly 100,000 casualties. Senior General Umezu Yoshijiro claimed that without new reinforcements, they would be able to hold out for a week at most. ”

This news made matters worse completely shattered Hirohito's will, and after sitting on the throne for a while, Hirohito opened his mouth, raised his trembling right hand and pointed to the ministers and said, "Order the Kwantung Army to retreat, all to Korea." ”

"Your Majesty! No! A group of young Zhuang faction officers led by Hideki Tojo wept bitterly and fell to their knees on the ground, howling like a dead father.

"The alliance has been decided, and the secretaries must not say much, and whoever does not listen to the will of the union will be regarded as disloyal to the couplet." Hirohito squeezed the words out of his teeth and stood up, walking behind the screen with a sloppy step. Left behind only a group of generals in pain! ~！
