It is no secret that Koreans joined the Anti-Japanese League within the Kwantung Army, and as far as General Yamada Otozo knows, there are many Korean officers in the resistance forces of the Manchurian Anti-Japanese Federation, and he has also heard of the most prestigious ones, as if they are called Choi Yongjian and Kim Il Sung. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Although those guys are only middle-level officers in the Chinese army, and they are equivalent to a lieutenant in the full rank, and the highest is not the rank of Dazuo, but in the hearts of the North Koreans, those guys are extremely respected.

It is good that there is Manchuria as a barrier now, but once something happens to 'Manchuria,' then the situation in Korea will definitely take a sharp turn for the worse in a very short period of time, and he, the commander of the Kwantung Army, will definitely bear the main responsibility at that time.

Therefore, Yamada Otozo has no way out, originally he thought that as long as he didn't take the initiative to provoke Ma Zheng's department, the situation in the Northeast could be kept stable for the time being, as long as he survived until he retired.

But he still underestimated Ma Zheng and his troops, and his concession did not make Ma Zheng appreciate, and a large number of troops began to gather in the northeast border area.

According to the information of the secret agents lurking in Ma Zheng's department, this time Ma Zheng's department has gathered more than 200,000 troops on the line from Tongliao to Shuangliao, and a large number of Mongolian cavalry have also appeared in this area.

The news from other regions also made Yamada Otozo feel worried, Qinhuangdao, Shanhaiguan, Weichang and other places have found a large number of Chinese troops, although these Chinese armies have different names, but the situation of besieging 'Manchuria' has been formed.

General Yamada Otozo thought about it for a long time, and after careful consideration, decided that the Kwantung Army should strike first, and he decided to attack Ma Zheng's department first, in exchange for the initiative in the war.

But what made General Yamada Oto's mind feel angry was that before his order was issued, he received an urgent telegram from the Shuangliao defenders: "Ma Zheng's 4 infantry divisions and a large number of technical troops totaling more than 80,000 people are driving towards the Shuangliao area, and the 12 strongholds along the way were wiped out by the Chinese cavalry troops before they could retreat, and more than 600 imperial warriors and more than 1,000 imperial allegoed troops were completely wiped out from the battle sequence of the Kwantung Army." ”

The Shuangliao area is the first strong line of defense of the Kwantung Army to block Ma Zheng's eastward advance, the Kwantung Army stationed a whole reinforced division and an independent mixed infantry brigade here, and there is also an independent tank wing, plus two border divisions of Manchukuo, the total strength has reached more than 50,000 people, in addition to the remnants of the Ninth Division withdrawn from Tongliao City, the total strength is really a lot.

It was precisely because of the presence of so many defenders that the commander of the garrison in the Shuangliao region, Lieutenant General Jingguan Takasho, was full of confidence in defeating the invading Chinese army.

At the same time, the 14th Division stationed along the Shanhai Pass reported that the 142nd Wing stationed in Xinkailing was fiercely attacked by the large army of China, and was also bombed by the group of aircraft in China.

In addition, traces of the Chinese army have also been discovered in Qianwei, Beilu, Lingyuan and other places, and the Chinese aviation units have been frequently dispatched, and the troops on the southern front are under great pressure.

Yamada Otozo was very annoyed, the people of China were so hateful, just a few hours before he was ready to preemptively start the war, although he was angry in his heart, but Yamada Otozo had to admire Ma Zheng's decisiveness and determination.

In the world of soldiers, there are only enemies and friends, there is no distinction between good and bad people, but among the enemies, Yamada Otozo respects those real warriors more, such as Yang Jingyu and Zhao Shangzhi and others who have embarrassed the entire Kwantung Army several times, and then Ma Zheng, who defeated the Imperial Army in a head-to-head battle, etc., it can be said that living with such an opponent is his honor and his misfortune.

The Kwantung Army's reaction speed was also extremely fast, and both sides were fully prepared for this battle, although both sides were very uncertain, but they were full of confidence on the surface.

Yamada Otozo knew that the hundreds of thousands of troops on the front line alone could not withstand the all-out attack of the hundreds of thousands of troops under Ma Zheng's command, so Yamada Otozo issued a 'special mobilization order for all of Manchuria' in his capacity as the commander of the Kwantung Army.

This was the second 'national' mobilization order since the establishment of the puppet state of Manchukuo in 1932, the first being by Senior General Umezu Yoshijiro after the Nomenkan Incident in 1939.

Originally, there was still controversy within the Kwantung Army about General Yamada Otosan's issuance of this combat readiness order at this time, although the puppet Manchukuo government was a puppet regime, it still had a certain degree of freedom in administration, so it was also slightly dissatisfied with this order from the Kwantung Army Headquarters.

This is because both the opposition within the Kwantung Army and the top level of the puppet Manchukuo are well aware of the weight of this mobilization order, and as soon as the mobilization order is issued, all the military, political, commercial, and academic departments and units in the entire puppet Manchukuo region must be ready for battle. All members of the army were on alert, students were required to suspend classes, all Japanese expatriates were gathered, young men were put into the reserves, and women were to be assembled.

In a word, all the Japanese puppet forces in the entire Manchuria region must go all out to prepare for war, and all work must be aimed at dealing with the invading Tubalu as the first goal and focus of work.

Many high-ranking officers within the Kwantung Army thought that His Excellency the Commander had overestimated the combat effectiveness of the Chinese people, and although it was true that Ma Zheng's headquarters in China had fought a lot of big battles, it was important to know that the special geographical environment of the 'Manchurian region' limited the strength of many troops.

On the other hand, the heroic Kwantung Army of the Empire of Japan, which has been stationed in this area all the year round, should be accustomed to the harsh environment of Manchuria, and its combat effectiveness can be at least 100 percent.

But Yamada Otozo doesn't think so, because of the different locations, he has far more resources than ordinary people. Coupled with the fact that as the commander of the Kwantung Army and the emperor of the entire puppet state of Manchukuo, Yamada Otozo had to consider many things that were simply beyond the reach of others.

Yamada Otozo knew very well how terrible Ma Zheng was, during this time he often talked to Okamura Ningji, and from the phone, he could obviously hear Okamura Ningji's admiration for Ma Zheng from Gangcun's tone.

Now take advantage of the fact that Ma Zheng's department has not really become a throat-sealing sword to launch a mobilization order, which is not only conducive to the next battle, but also can deter Manchuria from distinguishing with ulterior motives, killing two birds with one stone.

The 14th Division of the Japanese Army was the main division stationed in the Shuangliao area, and Lieutenant General Takamasa Iseki, as the commander of the 14th Division and the commander of the garrison in the Shuangliao area, felt the tremendous pressure only eight hours after the start of the battle.

The combat effectiveness of Ma Zheng's troops was far beyond his expectations, and in eight hours, at the same time when he had just figured out the number of the opposing Chinese army, the Chinese troops had already broken through a full 14 strongholds and moved their positions forward by more than 20 kilometers.

"Ishiguro, where is the 27th Brigade now, when will it be able to enter the battle, what is the situation at the front, and how long can the Sakata Brigade hold out?" Lieutenant General Takamasa Iseki asked a little irritably.

"Report to Your Excellency Commander, the 27th Brigade has arrived at the Aldu front and will be ready for battle immediately." Chief of Staff Ishiguro replied.

"Yo Xi!"

"However, the Zhina people just occupied Aduqin ten minutes ago, and now the troops are directly pointing at Shuangliao City, and a large number of Zhina troops have also been found on the front line of Baolongshan and Xiedai, and it seems that the Zhina people are ready to launch an attack on the Baolongshan position today. In addition, there are less than 300 people left in the Sakata Brigade now, and even if the 27th Brigade rescues in time, I am afraid that the entire brigade has lost its combat effectiveness. Ishiguro said cautiously.

"Baga, immediately send a report to the 27th Brigade and Regiment, ordering them to immediately enter the battle, absolutely not let the Shina troops wipe out the Sakata Brigade, the empire has lost more than six hundred warriors, and must not let their troops also be erased from the battle sequence of our Kwantung Army, do you understand?" Lieutenant General Masataka Iseki said angrily!

"Hay!"
