Yamada Otozo has always wanted to solve the Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition Army in Manchuria that is against the empire in one go, but he does not dare to send troops to attack easily, because he is not sure how much to pay to solve it, and the most important thing is that once the Kwantung Army loses too much in the battle, it will seriously affect the next strategic action of the Japanese Army in the future. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

What makes Yamada even more uneasy is that the Kwantung Army's current mistakes in the intelligence work of the United Nations are getting bigger and bigger, and the unfavorable development of the intelligence work of the United Nations and the lack of effective sources of intelligence are all the more important factors affecting whether the Kwantung Army can completely eliminate the United Nations in the next step. The combat effectiveness shown by the Anti-Japanese Federation and its powerful weapons and equipment made Yamada Otozo clearly know that the Kwantung Army could no longer treat these rebels as bandits who would only conduct harassment warfare before.

The increasing number of phenomena shows that this army, now and in the near future, has become the most formidable opponent of the Kwantung Army at the moment, and for the Japanese army, which has always been stubborn, it is not terrible to have a well-equipped army, but an army that is both well-equipped and tenacious, and disciplined, will be a very difficult opponent.

Although Yamada Otozo was angry, but after all, he was a senior commander in the Japanese Empire, relying on the keen sense of smell unique to his soldiers, he faintly felt from the telegram sent by the base camp not long ago that he was preparing to start a war with the north in the base camp, as for the reason is very simple, Manchuria is rich in coal and iron resources, but for the two modern military blood, rubber and oil, it all depends on imports from the United States and Britain, once the United States and Britain impose an embargo on Japan, unless they spit out the fat that has been swallowed, Otherwise, the use of war is the only thing Japan can do at the moment.

If the Soviet-German war had not started, after the battle of Nomenkan and the battle of Zhang Gufeng, the Japanese army base camp up to His Majesty the Emperor, down to the ordinary soldiers did not dare to mention the matter of going north, and the Kwantung Army has always been in a defensive state, but this time the Soviet-German battle made the base camp see hope, in just 10 days, the German army broke through to the Soviet Union 600 kilometers. On the first day of fighting, the Soviet Red Army lost 1,200 aircraft, 800 of which were blown up before they could take off.

On the North-Western Front, in two weeks the Soviet Red Army retreated 450 kilometers and abandoned the Baltic coast. The 24 divisions of the Soviet Red Army were completely routed, 20 divisions lost 60% of their personnel and equipment, and the German allies soon reached the city of Leningrad.

The Western Front was the key area of the German assault, the German army reached a joint encirclement of the Western Military District of the Soviet Union (that is, the Western Front) from the direction of Grodno and Brest Fortresses, the capital of Belarus Minsk fell, the Soviet Red Army retreated 350 kilometers, 30 divisions were annihilated, and 70 divisions lost more than 50% of their personnel. The German army successively carried out three effective assaults in Minsk, Smolensk, Vyazma and other places, encircling and annihilating a large number of Soviet Red Army units.

On the Southwestern Front, the main purpose of the German army was to destroy the Soviet agricultural and industrial base in Ukraine and to obtain the Black Sea ports as supply depots. In front of the Kiev Military District of the USSR (i.e., the Southwestern Front) and the Odessa Military District (Southern Front), the Southwestern Front was the most powerful military district of the Soviet Union, and in the early days of the war, due to the continuous counterattacks of the Soviet Red Army, the German army made the slowest progress in this direction. However, due to the fact that Germany's military strength was far superior to that of the Soviet Union at this time, the German army still drove straight to the Dnieper. Due to the excessive losses of the Western Front, the right flank of the Southwestern Front was exposed and not transferred in time, on September 15, 1941, the German army surrounded the main force of the Soviet Southwestern Front in the Battle of Kiev, and after 10 days of bloody fighting, the Soviet Red Army broke through a small number of people, and more than 660,000 people were annihilated, including 60,000 officers, including the commander of the Southwestern Front, General Kirponos, and the chief of staff, Lieutenant General Tupikov, and many senior generals were killed in the breakout battle.

These vivid figures completely encouraged the officials in the base camp and the veterans of the Kwantung Army who participated in the battle of Nomenkan, the previous invincible Soviets were completely defeated by the German allies this time, and the soldiers were generals, coupled with the secret information obtained from the Soviet Union not long ago, which made the whole base camp see the fighters, ready to secretly seize Siberia of the Soviet Far East Military District, and constantly urged the Japanese Kwantung Army to eliminate the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Army in Manchuria as soon as possible.

If the empire and the Soviet Union go to war in an all-out way, Manchuria, which is an important supply base for the empire's coal, steel, and Kimura, including grain, will be the rear supply center for the frontal operation, and whether or not we can eliminate the already strong anti-Japanese alliance that can defeat several divisions of the Kwantung Army in one breath in the shortest possible time, and stabilize the situation in Manchuria at the fastest speed, I am afraid that it has become an important factor in whether the empire can achieve victory in the war against the Soviet Union. But it made the always confident Yamada Otozo feel a little melancholy,

Looking at the somewhat melancholy eyes of General Yamada Otosan, Lieutenant General Iimura, deputy chief of staff, hurriedly said: "Your Excellency Commander, although we have not completely eliminated the Anti-United Nations at the moment, but we have also achieved very great results in this battle, Yang Jingyu's troops active in South Manchuria were successfully eliminated by our army, and the anti-United Nations cavalry in the northwest was also defeated by our army, and our army also achieved good results in the frontal battlefield to recover the county town occupied by the Anti-United Nations before, if it weren't for the Soviet Union's group of foreign devils supporting the anti-United Nations weapons and ammunition behind their backs, Even tanks and armored vehicles, otherwise they would have been wiped off the map by the Reich long ago. ”

"Iimura-kun, what you said is very right, the Soviets could argue that they did not support the Anti-United Nations, but the planes, tanks, and even warships dispatched by the Anti-United Nations in this battle are all evidence, the army of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Federation is that little person, why are they fighting more and more, this is all that group of foreign devils are playing tricks, constantly sending people to join the Anti-United Nations, the Anti-United Nations is actually just their armed forces used to contain us, even if there is no Anti-United Nations, there will be other troops, only by solving the source of Manchuria can it be completely cleaned." Yamada Otozo said with emotion.

"Your Excellency, Commander, is the Empire really going to war with the Soviets?"

"Look at this top-secret cable, it's top-secret information that Imperial agents got from the Soviet Union." Yamada Otozo said as he handed the document to Iimura.

In just three months, the Soviet Army transferred two tank divisions, four infantry divisions, two flying regiments, two infantry divisions and one mechanized brigade and three flying brigades from the Baikal Military District, that is, the entire Soviet Army and the Kwantung Army confronted the two major military districts, and only six infantry divisions were transferred in one breath.

"Your Excellency, this is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but we are not prepared for anything, and if we suddenly move our troops, the Soviets will definitely be alert." After reading the documents, Iimura sighed.

"Who said it was too late, in fact, our troops have already arrived at the designated position."

"Your Excellency Commander, I understand that sweeping up the anti-United Nations is actually gradually sending troops to the border to be ready to attack at any time."

"The sweep is actually part of the plan, originally I was going to eliminate the Anti-Japanese Federation, and our army could launch an attack on Vladivostok from the territory of Heihe, but unfortunately it was not successful, but even if the Anti-Japanese Federation was not eliminated, the general plan was 80% successful, and the Soviets at this time are estimated to be still laughing at us for sending a large number of troops to encircle and suppress the Anti-United Nations." Yamada Otozo forgot his previous distress and said with a smile.

"Searched for the dead."

"By the way, isn't there any news from the Matsui detachment yet ... Our communications department, still hasn't contacted the 14th Division? Looking at the southeast corner of the huge combat sand table in front of him, where two red flags surrounded a blue flag, the commander General Otozo Yamada asked suspiciously...

"Hi, Your Excellency, Commander. Since the command received a telegram from the Matsui detachment calling for help from the Air Force, it has not received any news from the Matsui detachment ... At present, the communications department is contacting the Matsui detachment through various communication channels...," replied Lieutenant General Iimura, deputy chief of staff, in a low voice.

"Baga, what are the communication departments doing, it's been so long, and there hasn't been any news... Immediately send a telegram to the Longjiang Forward Command asking about the specific situation of Chief of Staff Muto Akira, the Matsui Detachment and the 14th Division. It's been so long, hasn't Muto Akira, the forward commander, received any news yet? Commander Yamada Otozo clenched his fists and scolded loudly.

"Report to Your Excellency Commander, we have sent telegrams to the Forward Command in the Longjiang Area many times to inquire about the specific situation, and the Forward Command is not clear about the specific situation, because the Forward Command lost contact with the 14th Division yesterday and is now investigating." The chief of staff replied cautiously.

"Nani! Can't they contact the people of the 14th Division either? How can it be... It is absolutely impossible, how can the people of half the division say that it will be gone if it is not! Immediately send a reconnaissance plane to investigate, and if you want to see people in life and corpses in death, you must find out all the circumstances within half an hour. In addition, inform the intelligence department to intervene in the investigation immediately, and be sure to investigate the whole situation for me clearly. Otherwise, they're all dead, they're all dead..."The clenched fist slammed into the flash disc in front of him. Commander General Yamada Otozo glared at Iimura with eyes that could almost kill, and roared loudly.

In the angry voice of Commander Yamada Otozo's face, the entire headquarters and various departments immediately began to operate at a speed, and one combat staff officer after another shuttled back and forth in the huge and busy headquarters. One by one, the telephones continued to sound crisp ringtones. As for the dozens of communications staff officers in the headquarters, they kept shouting something to the microphone in their hands..., in a word, the entire headquarters, at this moment, has been completely enveloped in a tense and chaotic atmosphere.
