Yamada Oto-san general was very depressed, Qiqihar once again fell from the hands of the empire, which made him feel very ashamed, in order to meet the requirements of Yamamuro Zongwu, he continued to mobilize materials from various cities to transport to Qiqihar, so that Yamamuro Zongwu built Qiqihar into a military base, but still did not resist the attack of the Chinese people, resulting in another defeat, and it was completely defeated, looking at a bright red big word on the desktop newspaper "Northeast Anti-Japanese Alliance defeated the 11th Division of the Japanese Kwantung Army, annihilating more than 10,000 enemies, "Recovering Qiqihar" is particularly dazzling.

The chief of staff, Lieutenant General Muto Akira, was silent, silently staring at the commander with deep eye sockets, small eyes, red and wrinkled face, and felt that after a moment, His Excellency Commander Yamada Otozo's face was as colorful as a rainbow, and he looked embarrassed and hideous.

Muto Akira retracted his hand, called the guards, and served a cup of hot tea to General Yamada Otosan.

The movement of the guards woke up Yamada Otozo. He smiled bitterly, took a sip of tea, and asked if there was any news of the 11th Division.

Muto Zhang replied in a low voice: "There is news, the people of China have already emptied Qiqihar. ”

"What about Sotake Yamamuro?"

"Is he okay?"

"Nani! The people of China actually let him go? Yamada asked in surprise.

"It was because the Yamamuro sect sent people to take thousands of Maruda hostages that they were able to survive."

"Yaga! The face of the soldiers, the honor of the empire were thrown into him. Yamada took a sip of his teacup, lowered his head and continued to look at the newspaper on the table, smiling strangely as he read it.

Muto Akira knew that at this moment, His Excellency the Commander must have been angry about eating people.

Regarding such a big loss of military supplies in Qiqihar City, it was all caused by the arrogant guy Yamamuro Sotake, if it weren't for his unclear judgment, where would the imperial soldiers of an elite brigade be buried in the ambush circle of the Chinese army? If it weren't for the fact that he didn't judge the specific strength of the Chinese armed forces, he thought he was right, and sent another brigade to the rescue, so that Qiqihar was short of internal troops, and the Chinese army took the opportunity to capture Qiqihar. What made him most angry was that Qiqihar didn't even hold on for three hours, and the copper walls written in the report before now seemed to be all tofu scum projects.

Yamada Otozo was very remorseful, why did he agree to the Yamamuro Zongwu battle plan, which led to the loss of Qiqihar, and what made him feel even more unbelievable was that there were nearly 20,000 people in a division, although the 11th Division was only half a division when it came back, but you must also know that it was more than 10,000 people, that is, 10,000 pigs, and it was not a day or two that could be killed, let alone people.

You must know that in a battle that occurred in Guannai last year, the Eighth Route Army besieged more than 500 Japanese troops in a brigade of the Japanese army with the absolute superiority of four regiments. The two sides fought fiercely for two days and nights, the Eighth Route Army suffered more than 600 casualties (one says 2,000 people), and the Japanese Okazaki Brigade suffered more than 400 casualties (the Japanese army said that the Okazaki Brigade only killed 61 people).

The most unforgivable thing is that after Yamada Otozo gave the order to rescue Qiqihar, after eight hours, almost all the reinforcements were blocked in the periphery of Qiqihar, and some reinforcements were even defeated, which made Yamashita Otozo very angry.

"We should report to the base camp immediately and request that Yamamuro Sotake be escorted back to Japan, so that he can apologize to the emperor! Otherwise, we will have to carry the black cauldron he caused. Akira Muto suggested.

In fact, General Yamada Otosan is not willing to mention the name of Yamamuro Sotake at all now. I was already tired of scolding all night, and even the women of the eight generations of the Yamamuro Sect Martial Ancestors greeted them all over. In his eyes, Sotake Yamamuro was already a dead man. If it weren't for the fact that he didn't have the power to shoot Yamamuro Sotake. I'm afraid he will personally lead the gendarmes to shoot Yamamuro Sotake, but Muto Zhang's words reminded General Yamada Otosan that for such a big loss, it is necessary to ask for the guilt, and it is also necessary for someone to be responsible! In less than three hours, Qiqihar, known as the impregnable wall, was actually breached.

In this battle, the troops of tens of thousands of troops in a division and regiment were all shattered one after another, since the establishment of the modern army of the Japanese army, when has there been such a big defeat? If he didn't take the initiative to apologize, maybe the guys in the base camp would put all the blame for the incompetent Yamamuro Sowu on their heads! I can't learn from the two generals before me, I must clear myself.

The more he thought about it, the more he thought about it, and the chief of staff, Lieutenant General Muto Akira, began to consider a telegram of apology to the base camp.

When Muto Akira was the chief of staff of the Japanese Kwantung Army, he naturally had a strategic mind. As soon as General Yamada Otozo said his thoughts in a few words, Muto Akira added a little, and a gorgeous outline of a telegram of apology came out.

Lieutenant General Muto Akira did not want to trouble the staff officers, so he personally grabbed the sword, and vividly wrote about the arrogance and wanton behavior of the 11th Division led by Lieutenant General Yamamuro Sotake, especially Lieutenant General Yamamuro Sotake's unauthorized mobilization of troops, which led to the main force being ambushed by the Shina people, and then caused Qiqihar to fall.

The conclusion is that the incompetent Yamamuro Sowu led to the fall of Qiqihar. Shame on His Majesty the Emperor. I implore His Majesty the Emperor to hold Lieutenant General Itayamamuro Muromu accountable, deprive him of his military rank and title, and make him return to Japan to apologize!

Gu Shoufu, who was far away in Harbin, was lucky to escape the catastrophe, and did not return to China with Yamamuro Sowu to apologize, but to make meritorious contributions.

General Yamada Otozo asked suspiciously: "Muto-kun, is the fighting power of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Federation really so strong?" What's the difference from before? ”

Muto Zhang also felt a little confused, he thought for a while and said: "The Anti-Japanese Federation was not the opponent of the empire at all before, as long as the empire sent a wing of troops, it could fight the Anti-United League everywhere, it turned out that although the Anti-United Nations was a whole on the surface, it was actually independent, which allowed us to gradually eliminate it, but when this Meng Qingshan suddenly emerged, he integrated the stragglers of the Anti-United Nations, so that the Anti-United Nations continued to grow and threaten the rule of the empire." ”

Yamada Otozo waved his hand and said, "No, I think it's not just a matter of combat effectiveness, there must be a special reason here. You should definitely find out as soon as possible. ”

Muto Akira put his legs together, bowed his head vigorously and said, "Hay! ”

Yamada Otozo paused and asked again, "Didn't any of the warriors of the besieged empire of the 11th Division escape?" ”

Muto Zhang hesitated for a moment and said, "In addition to the troops of the 22nd Infantry Brigade that has just retreated to Harbin, there are less than 200 soldiers of the 10th Infantry Brigade who have escaped, but ......"

Yamada Otozo hurriedly asked, "But what is it?" Is there something out of the ordinary? ”

Akira Muto was a little embarrassed and said, "Most of these fighters are mentally deranged and can no longer communicate with them. The doctor said that after seeing their symptoms, they should have been greatly frightened! ”

Yamada Otozo was so angry that he slapped the table and scolded: "Yaga, this is simply a shame for the empire!" ”

Muto Akira also felt a little angry and said, "That's true! If such a thing were to be spread, it would discredit the Imperial Holy War, so I have already ordered this news to be blocked. ”

Yamada Otozo calmed down his anger, nodded approvingly, and said, "Yo Xi, you did a great job!" ”

When the base camp received the telegram, it was shaken. Immediately summoned the Emperor and asked him to summon him urgently.

When Emperor Hirohito saw the fall of Qiqihar again, and tens of thousands of imperial soldiers shattered jade, snapped, slammed on the imperial case, slapped two fingers alive, and angrily turned into anger, Hirohito at this time still wanted to maintain his majesty in front of the ministers, so he just asked the court medical officer to bandage it briefly, endured the pain, and listened to several ministers continue to report about the telegram sent by the Kwantung Army of Manchukuo.

After listening, Emperor Hirohito faintly asked why Manchukuo was so grim? The elite imperial army lost troops, and a dignified military town, why did the people of China repeatedly sneak attack and succeed?

The more Hirohito spoke, the colder his voice became, and he asked the Minister of War, how did General Yamada Otozo command? Instead of saying in the telegram that the Anti-Japanese Federation could be completely wiped out this year, why couldn't the Imperial Japanese Army even wipe out an armed force composed of peasants, Major General Nobu Shotoku, Lieutenant General Sasaki Toichi, Major General Naojiro Amaya, and Lieutenant General Sugi Motomoto...... The jade is broken, and the Anti-Japanese Federation is still alive, destroying the cities of the empire everywhere, attacking the people of the empire, is the Kwantung Army corrupted, the Soviets can't beat it, you can forgive it, after all, they have more people than us, and the weapons are good, but they are made like this by the bandits, this is a shame for the soldiers, a shame for the empire.

The more Emperor Hirohito spoke, the more anxious he became, and his cacophony echoed in the main hall. panicked so much that several "ministers all knelt on the ground, knock, knock, knock" and kowtowed.

Seeing that the ministers kowtowed like pounding garlic, Hirohito took a breath, stabilized his mind, and said coldly: "The question is not what we did, but how the whole world reacted to what we did. The successive events in Manchukuo and the capture of Qiqihar several times will make the countries of the world doubt the combat effectiveness of the imperial army, and will think that our Japanese Empire is very easy to bully, which is a very bad thing, I want you to make a careful plan, you must eliminate this group of bandits at the end of the year, and capture the bandit leader named Meng Qingshan alive, and launch a major campaign against southern China, I want the world to once again see that the Japanese Imperial Army is invincible. ”

"Hello!"

After dealing with this matter, Emperor Hirohito, under the service of his chamberlain, went back to the palace to seek comfort, as for how to fight, that was the matter of the ministers.

After a long period of discussion, several ministers finally decided to continue to expand the army, and recruited a large number of servant troops to supplement the needs of fighting in China.
