Chapter 503: Surprised
After receiving the telegram from the 10th Division asking for help, Gu Shoufu immediately understood that this was a ploy of the anti-coalition envoys, and the roundabout tactics adopted by the opponent obviously surrounded the elite of the 10th Division, so that the troops of the other two routes of the empire had to divide their troops to help, so as to relieve the pressure on the opponent's troops on both sides.
Although he received a telegram from Tada Jun, the commander of the 10th Qiqihar Division, asking for help, Gu Shoufu did not act rashly, especially did not easily divide his troops to support the besieged 10th Division. Because although he guessed the general intention of his opponent's move, he was not sure. There is only one thing he can be sure of, that is, this opponent cannot just trap the 10th Division, he must have a backup move.
In Gu Shoufu's opinion, on the basis of the strength comparison between the Kwantung Army, the Manchurian **** and this anti-Manchu army, even if they were lucky enough to surround the 10th Division, it would be impossible to take the 10th Division standing on the terrain. Therefore, they besieged the 10th Division more to attract the main force of the 29th Division attacking the front line of Hailun and Qingcheng to divide troops and send assistance, so as to achieve the goal of containing the 29th Division's attack on the front line of Hailun and Qingcheng. If this anti-Manchu army can still have enough troops to besiege the imperial army when it is surrounded by enemies everywhere, Lieutenant General Gu Shoufu will not believe it.
Gu Shoufu was extremely calm in the face of the encirclement of the 10th Division. Even when he heard that the general offensive launched by the Anti-Japanese Federation that night, he did not mobilize a single soldier. Although he made preparations, he still did not think that the opponent could easily take down more than 5,000 excellent imperial soldiers, although the 10th Division fought against the anti-Manchu forces many times, and the veterans continued to die in battle. The current 10th Division belongs to the bottom of the Kwantung Army, and it is a little stronger than the 4th Division. But that's not something that just anti-Manchu forces can arbitrarily humiliate.
What kind of virtue was that group of recruits of the 10th Division, as the division commander of the Empire. Gu Shoufu still knows it in his heart. In his opinion, those recruits of the 10th Division could not fight in the field. But relying on a strong position to block the attack, it is still competent. Especially when they were facing the armed forces temporarily recruited by the anti-Manchu forces, I think it was the group of rescued laborers, and he knew very well what the group of laborers looked like, all of them were yellow-faced and thin, and what kind of combat effectiveness they could have.
Therefore, Gu Shoufu can be said to be as stable as Mount Tai, not to mention not immediately transferring troops to help, and even strengthened the attack on the front line of Helen and Qingcheng. In his opinion. As long as the enemy in front of them is eliminated, the key is to defeat the most important main force of the Anti-Japanese Union, even if the troops of the Provisional Organization of the Anti-Japanese Union succeed in repelling the troops of the 10th Division. Without the main army, it can only be a swarm of ants. If they really have, according to the record of the Anti-Japanese Federation this year, the besieged 10th Division troops will not be able to stop it at all, and the group of armed forces will definitely use the 36 strategies to attack the west. Divide your forces and then take the opportunity to attack.
However, although Lieutenant General Gu Shoufu did not immediately send troops back when he received an anti-Manchurian and anti-Japanese armed attack on the front line of the 10th Division in Longjiang Province, he kept people concerned about the situation there. As a result, after the deafening shelling that day, Gu Shoufu found that the 10th Division was still in contact with him at first, but actually cut off contact with him in the next few days. No matter how much Tani asked, he couldn't get an answer, and in Tani's opinion, Tada Jun must be angry with him. No, he didn't send troops to assist, and according to his guess, the shelling that day must have been a counterattack by the 10th Division. I believe that the false troops arranged by the Anti-Japanese Federation have been broken, and the troops should be marching towards the old nest of the Anti-Japanese Union, and soon he will be entangled in the war and have no spare energy to pay attention to the 10th Division.
Just after solving the trouble in his rear, Gu Shoufu was about to show his skills to eliminate Chen Hanzhang, the first division of the Anti-Japanese Federation that had been beaten into a pangolin by the imperial army and hid in the mountains in the mountains, when suddenly, he received a telegram from Qiqihar, and when he saw the telegram in his hand, he never thought that the 10th Division was wiped out by the people next to him, and he thought that the false troops of the Anti-Japanese Federation not only occupied Qiqihar, but even Zhalantun was also occupied, and the 10th Division could be understood as a conspiracy used by the Zhina. Zarantun's miss made him absolutely incomprehensible.
What made him even more angry was that even if the 10th Division was not yet full, it would not be so useless, and it had only been wiped out by the Anti-Japanese Federation in just a few years, and there was not a single survivor, if it wasn't for the fact that the headquarters felt abnormal and sent people to investigate, otherwise everyone would still be kept in the dark, and this group of people was really very cunning.
"Baga, how can this be, how long has it been, how can the 10th Division be wiped out, how can Qiqihar be captured? You know, it's a division, more than 10,000 elite soldiers, impossible, absolutely impossible" Gu Shoufu roared loudly when he saw the telegram sent.
"Hi, Your Excellency Division Commander, I can't believe this fact either. However, according to the telegrams sent from the front, the anti-United Nations troops participating in the battle were not only equipped with at least one wing or so of heavy weapons. More importantly, it is also equipped with a large number of tanks and armored vehicles. At the same time, according to the information obtained by the front-line scouts, the tactics of anti-union infantry and artillery coordination were very proficient on the battlefield," the chief of staff quickly replied.
"Aren't their main forces all at the front fighting the Empire's armies? Where did so many armies come from, tanks, armored vehicles, and new weapons that even the empire didn't have, and how they easily took Qiqihar, you must know that the empire has made a lot of precautions in order to prevent a sneak attack by the Anti-Alliance, what the hell is going on. Gu Shoufu's palm slammed against the strategic map on the table and muttered to himself.
"Your Excellency the Division Commander, do we still want to go according to the original plan?" The staff officer on the side asked cautiously.
Gu Shoufu raised his head with red eyes and shouted: "Except for the commander of the 103rd Infantry Brigade, Major General Yamada Meiji, who stayed behind to continue to encircle and suppress the Shina army hiding in the mountains, the rest of the people rushed to Anda. ”
"Hello!"
After two days of rapid marching, Gu Shoufu led 13,000 Japanese troops to finally arrive in Qiqihar, when they had entered Qiqihar City, Gu Shoufu and the Japanese soldiers were frightened by the tragic scene in front of them, the entire Qiqihar City was originally neat Japanese military camp, the 10th Division to be called the most majestic building in North Manchuria, as well as the puppet Manchurian Longjiang Provincial Government, Qiqihar Municipal Government, railway station and other important buildings have become a ruin, the original train route in the railway station, now all left for the Japanese army are sleepers, If they hadn't come quickly, the sleepers would not have been left behind, and Qiqihar City was full of Japanese expatriates and women and children who had only one piece of clothing confiscated by the Anti-Japanese Federation, so they had to settle these victimized nationals as soon as they arrived.
In a square in the city, there was still a sign on their bodies, and the bodies of high-ranking military and political personnel of the puppet Manchurians and Japanese personnel in the military and police of the puppet Manchus were piled up into a small mountain. The slogan on the corpse indicates that these people were executed for treason after being captured, and Gu Shoufu had a good feeling when he saw the scene in front of him, such a scene was staged in Nanjing, but it was the people of China who were hurt that time, and now it is them.
As soon as the Anti-Japanese Federation did this, the high-ranking personnel of Manchukuo in the entire Longjiang Province were almost swept away. The elites of the various military and police gendarmes, that is, the Japanese personnel, were also wiped out. Large quantities of archives, documents and materials of all kinds were either burned or looted. That is to say, the entire Longjiang Province has fallen into complete paralysis at this time, and it was burned down once by the Anti-Union before, and after half a year of efforts by the puppet Manchurian government personnel, it was finally made up, and this time it was completely burned by the Anti-United Nations.
For Gu Shoufu, those puppet Manchu military and political personnel don't care about the life or death at all. He is not the puppet emperor of Manchuria, and he needs to be responsible for these people. But the large amount of materials stored in Qiqihar made him feel distressed, you must know that most of these materials were transported from the Harbin warehouse, and he knew exactly how much there was. Not to mention the weapons and ammunition in reserve, the money and goods in various Japanese-funded banks, and even the grain was not left, leaving the Japanese army with a stripped Qiqihar and a group of Japanese expatriates waiting to be fed.
Gu Shoufu had to tell the news here to Umezu Mijiro who was waiting for the news, when Umezu Mijiro learned that Qiqihar was really occupied by the Anti-Japanese Federation, the 10th Division went up to the division commander Tada Jun, down to the news that all the soldiers were broken, a fart sat on the ground, his face was pale, he didn't believe it at all when he got the information from the front reconnaissance, he didn't believe that when the Anti-Japanese Union was attacked on all sides, there were still extra troops, and he still had luck in his heart, expecting that it was the investigators who were mistaken, but when he received a telegram from Gu Shoufu, Umezu Mijiro was dumbfounded, he knew that if he didn't cover up this matter this time, not only would his position as commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army be guaranteed, but even his old life might not be able to stay, the key is the face of the empire, and the honor of His Majesty the Emperor, you must know that even His Majesty the Emperor was shocked at the press conference he held a few days ago, and His Majesty the Emperor happily publicized the combat effectiveness of the Kwantung Army at the banquet, so that the whole country knew that the Anti-Japanese Federation had been eliminated, and now there was a big turning point, what should I do? The only way now is to eliminate the Anti-United Nations, but the strength of the Anti-United Nations is not found by the intelligence department at all, and the anti-United Nations has only four main divisions, several guerrillas, and the number of troops is about 50,000 to 70,000. There were about 100,000 to 150,000 people, or even more, and Umezu Mijiro was tempted to twist the intelligence director's head off now, but to no avail.
Umezu Mijiro hurriedly called Muto Akira and Iimura and others over, and after several hours of discussion, it was finally decided to recruit the Anti-Alliance, and only by letting the Anti-United Nations fall into the arms of the empire could the news spread and make this matter a big deal.
