Faced with the increasingly bad situation, when the diplomatic prime minister who received the telegram back from Manchuria and North China had to report this bad situation to His Majesty Emperor Hirohito..., Emperor Hirohito, who received the news that the 10th Division had been completely annihilated and the oolong sent before, was so angry that he vomited several mouthfuls of blood and fainted, which frightened the surrounding ministers, and it took everyone to wake up Emperor Hirohito, and when Emperor Hirohito woke up, he once again confirmed the news of the failure of the encirclement and suppression. Despite his physical weakness, he immediately gathered all the ministers and began to discuss countermeasures...
Finally, after almost three hours of discussion between the monarch and the ministers, a solution slowly appeared in front of Emperor Hirohito, as for this solution, it is very simple to say, that is, to solve it from the source. The fuse that caused the whole thing, that is, the Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition Army, was completely eliminated. Only by completely eliminating the Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition Army, the great henchman of this empire, can we restore the honor of the invincible and invincible Japanese Empire in the international arena. Only in this way can Western countries know that the Chinese government will eventually be destroyed under the fierce attack of the Japanese Imperial Army, but it is not easy to eliminate the anti-Japanese alliance that has become a climate, so Emperor Hirohito decided to remove the commander-in-chief of the Japanese Kwantung Army, Umezu Mijiro, and replace it with General Yamada Otosan, and Umezu Mijiro is the scapegoat they discussed.
"Yo Xi, immediately follow the plan we discussed, and let the staff draw up a battle plan. I gave the staff a week's time. Within a week, it is necessary to have a foolproof battle plan. In front of me..."After carefully reading the solution in his hand, Emperor Hirohito looked at the ministers in front of him. A loud command...
"Hi, His Majesty the Emperor... The General Staff will draw up a complete battle plan within a week and submit it to you for review...", the Army Chief of Staff replied loudly.
"Yo Xi, the future of the Great Japanese Empire depends on you, I hope you don't let me down again, don't let the Yamato nation down." After speaking. Emperor Hirohito ignored the ministers in front of him, and with the careful support of his two guards, he left his seat and walked back to the palace.
Following His Majesty the Emperor's order, the entire Army General Staff Headquarters immediately fell into chaos, and the various operational staff officers immediately began to give full play to their strengths and began to contribute to the entire battle plan.
"Your Excellency Chief of Staff, according to the telegram sent by the Japanese Kwantung Army Command and Tegaoke. At present, the strength of the regular army of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Army is about 100,000 people, and it is equipped with a certain number of heavy weapons, including artillery of various calibers. Armored combat vehicles and anti-aircraft artillery fire....Therefore, he believes that he wants to completely annihilate the anti-Japanese coalition forces in the northeast. At least we have to draw at least four divisions and regiments of more than 100,000 troops plus a certain number of aviation troops, at the same time. Send the navy along the Heilongjiang River to insert it from the rear of the Anti-Japanese Union and knock out their command center. to be able to successfully complete the task..."After several hours of busyness, the deputy chief of staff said loudly to the chief of staff in front of him.
"But at present, the Kwantung Army in Manchuria can mobilize less than four divisions except for the troops stationed on the border, and in the encirclement and suppression not long ago, we have dispatched nearly four divisions, and as a result, one division can be completely annihilated, and the rest have a lot of casualties, I think His Majesty the Emperor does not want the imperial troops to have any further losses, is there any better advice?"
"Your Excellency Chief of Staff, I think we can carry out a war of attrition against the United Nations, the terrain of North Manchuria is complex, and the development is the latest area in the whole of Manchuria, which is not a traditional agricultural area of Manchuria, the entire North Manchuria is in Manchuria, and the grain output does not occupy a major position, and the limited grain production in the North Manchurian region is difficult to maintain the consumption of an army for a long time, let alone an army of more than 100,000 people."
"As long as the Anti-Japanese Federation loses the material support of Soviet Russia, and there is no modern industrial base to support their military industry, there is no huge population and sufficient food production to support our consumption, when the time comes, I think they even need to import salt, what to fight us, even if we consume it slowly, we can consume them to death."
"Therefore, in my opinion, the most important thing we should do now is to turn the offensive into the defensive, and change the deployment posture of the divisions and regiments on the front line from offensive to offensive and defensive, so as to prevent them from moving south and attacking Jilin and other grain-producing areas, and at the same time carry out a strict blockade of their so-called base areas, and absolutely not allow a grain of salt, a tael of cotton, a foot of cloth, a pound of grain, and a drop of kerosene to flow into their so-called base areas."
"In addition, all the Manchurians within 30 kilometers of all the fronts were forcibly relocated to the south, that is, to imitate the audacity of some people, violating the orders of the Kwantung Army, and smuggling the materials they urgently needed to the so-called base areas, and second, to destroy the source of their supplementary troops, and to rather that there was no grass around the battle line, and absolutely not to allow them to be replenished by a single soldier."
"At the same time, before the situation is clear, it is appropriate to concentrate a group of troops on the front line to conduct some small-scale operations with them, one is to consume their material reserves, and the most important thing is to weaken their vital forces as much as possible under the difficult situation of replenishing their troops."
"Your Excellency Chief of Staff, I want to fight this kind of small-scale battle, without the presence of our Imperial Army, it is completely okay to let the Manchurians and the recruited Koreans take the lead, as for the Imperial Army to supervise the battle in the back, it is completely fine, every soldier of the Empire is precious, and he should dedicate himself to the holy war of His Majesty the Emperor to unify the world, and should not lose in vain in such small-scale armed friction."
"Since Manchuria was created by the empire, it is also appropriate to make some contributions to the imperial holy war, and since the Koreans are part of the empire and enjoy the honor brought to them by the empire's power, they should naturally contribute to the empire and be loyal to the emperor."
"The use of recruited Koreans and Manchurians to replace the Imperial Army in the front line can not only consume its vital forces, but also avoid casualties among the Imperial soldiers, so that the troops will not be broken by these small but extremely frequent small battles, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone."
"These Manchurians, judging from the previous battles, although they have been painstakingly reorganized and trained by Sasaki-kun, who has been broken, but except for a few troops, most of the troops are not very loyal to the empire, I think it may not be a good thing for the empire to take this opportunity to eliminate some unstable elements and completely replace the Manchurians in Manchukuo with Koreans."
"As for the number of deaths and injuries of those Koreans, it will not hurt the bones of the imperial army, as long as it can weaken the strength of the opponent and ensure the vitality of the Kwantung Army, it will be all the Korean men in the entire territory of Manchukuo and all the men on the Korean Peninsula, and it will not hesitate."
"In addition, we should concentrate the main force of the air force to carry out large-scale bombing of various counties and towns in the areas under their control, so as to completely destroy their war potential.
"Your analysis is very correct, the reason why they got up so quickly is because of the support of the Soviets, as long as they lose the support of Soviet Russia, and have no weapons, medicine and all the necessary material replenishment channels for the war, after trapping them for a half and a half, we can rest assured that we can boldly fight a decisive battle with them, eliminate them in one fell swoop, and even eliminate the so-called heavy military group of the Far Eastern Military District of Soviet Russia."
"But now, Your Excellency Chief of Staff, I think that since we have a way to get twice the result with half the effort, we should not rush to achieve results and wait for the international situation to change, the Kwantung Army is the trump card of the empire, if there are too many losses, it will affect the next strategic deployment of the empire, we want to restore the Kwantung Army to combat effectiveness, and the group of anti-coalition forces will be handed over to the group of North Koreans and Manchurian troops to deal with."
"Your Excellency Chief of Staff, the Kwantung Army can no longer afford to withstand the fiasco at present, if the setback occurs again, I am afraid that the foundation of the Kwantung Army will be shaken, rather than paying a heavy price to fight with it, it is better to wait for its strength to be weakened to a certain extent, and then we will act, Your Excellency Chief of Staff, you are familiar with the books, you should understand that the bottom of China's 36 plans is more fatal than the duel on the battlefield."
"I also think that your plan is very good, you write out your proposal in detail, and I will hand over this battle plan to His Majesty the Emperor and let His Majesty the Emperor decide."
