A few days later, in the headquarters of the Japanese Kwantung Army in Shinjing, Manchukuo, under the headquarters of General Umezu Mijiro, the chief of staff of the headquarters, that is, the architect and direct commander of the encirclement and suppression campaign, was sitting upright at his desk without saying a word.

Similarly, General Umezu Mijiro kept flipping through the statistics of the battle results that had just been counted in his hand, and he was also silent.

"Chief of Staff, you are one of the planners of this campaign and the direct commander of it. Do you think we have achieved the desired results in this campaign? Umezu Mijiro asked.

"Hi, Your Excellency Commander, I think this campaign has achieved the results it deserves, first of all, the infrastructure of the entire North Manchurian base area in China has been completely destroyed by us, including food and houses, I think, the Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition Army without food will not survive this year's cold winter no matter what. Second, according to the reports of all the troops, during the encirclement and suppression operations that lasted for more than a month, we wiped out nearly 10,000 troops of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Army, which is already more than half of the main force of the entire North Manchurian Army. ”

Chief of Staff of "Baga", you look at these reports of casualties and material losses of our army that have just been counted, as well as Qiqihar, which was occupied by the Chinese people, the entire army of the Manchurian Jiangshang Army was annihilated, several brigades of the 10th Division of the Western Road Expeditionary Force were disabled, with more than half of the casualties, the combat supplies of a division in the middle road for several months were robbed by the Chinese people, and when the East Road sent troops, there were more than 10,000 people, but when they came back, there were less than 5,000 people left, and you said that more than half of the troops of the Chinese were eliminated this time. I would like to ask you where the Chinese army that captured Qiqihar came from, which is also called victory, which is simply a shame for the Kwantung Army of our Great Japanese Empire. The encirclement and suppression of the local anti-Japanese federation in various regions of China has given us such losses. Admiral Umezu Slammed the table and interrupted the chief of staff, who was reporting.

"Hi. Your Excellency the Commander taught me that I will assume the responsibility of being the commander of this campaign. Your Excellency the Commander, rest assured. The chief of staff's heart was shocked, and he wiped his sweaty forehead.

"It's not all your fault, the number of the army of the people of China is also surprising to me, it has developed like this in just a few months, it is faster than snowballing, I really don't know how they got it, can't our group tribal plan in the past few years still stop the contact between the people of China and that group of bandits? If most of the troops hadn't been sent to the border to prevent polar bears and support the Kannai battlefield, the battle wouldn't have been like this. ”

"That's right, Chief of Staff. The Manchurian Jiangshang Army was attacked by Soviet artillery, is the intelligence accurate? ”

"Your Excellency, Commander, it is extremely accurate, through the reports of the Imperial soldiers who have fled back, they are already about to land, only to hear a burst of violent artillery fire, followed by the sound of earthquake-shaking explosions."

"Damn the Soviets, I'll just say that the Anti-Union is an armed force they support, and the ministers of the Reich still don't believe it. Now that we have caught the evidence, Chief of Staff, you should immediately pass on this news to Tokyo, and ask Tokyo to send someone to negotiate with the Soviets and ask them what the situation is. It's not that they have just signed a non-aggression pact, but that they want to repent. ”

"Hello!"

After learning the news of the occupation of Qiqihar, the furious Yamashita Fengwu ordered the 10th Division to retreat collectively before fainting. But less than ten minutes later, he came to his senses and ordered his troops to continue the attack on the area around the Woniu River. Because he knew that as long as he broke through the Woniu River, the bandits would be fierce. Without the rest and supplies that the rear depended on, how long could it hold out without soldiers and supplies? An army that does not have a solid rear can only become a rogue bandit.

Yamashita Fukatake calmed down and continued to order his troops to attack the porous line of the Woniu River, but his immediate boss, Umezu Mijiro, could not be as calm as he was. After learning that Yamashita Fengwu learned that Qiqihar had been attacked, he did not immediately send troops back for reinforcements, and was extremely angry.

Qiqihar was an important military town for the Japanese army to occupy North Manchukuo. Not to mention the extremely important strategic location, it also has a large amount of military supplies in reserve, which is an important strategic front for the Japanese army to move north. Once Qiqihar is lost, it will have a great impact on the entire strategy of the Japanese army towards the Soviet Union.

Moreover, excluding military factors, Qiqihar City, which is the main starting point for Japanese immigration to the Northeast Manchurian region, is also home to a large number of Japanese immigrants and various Japanese businessmen who dream of making a fortune. Once these huge numbers of Japanese immigrants and merchants suffered heavy casualties, it would be difficult for him to bear the consequences, not to mention that he was the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, even if he was the commander-in-chief of the army.

Umezu Mijiro's tone was very hard, and he ordered Yamashita Fengfumi to immediately transfer the main force of the 10th Division back to Qiqihar. The campaign was halted and Major General Kenyoshi Ikegami, commander of the 9th Independent Mixed Infantry Brigade, and the Manchurian Army were left behind to defend Sunwu County. If Lieutenant General Fengwu under the mountain is unable to recover Qiqihar in the shortest possible time, then he will be relieved of his post as commander of the 10th Division.

Before putting down the phone, Umezu Yoshijiro once again stressed that the 10th Division must be fully reinforced, and not a single soldier should be left behind. It is necessary to recover Qiqihar in a short period of time, and completely annihilate the anti-Manchu anti-Japanese forces that dared to attack Qiqihar, and capture that Meng Qingshan alive.

After several days of emergency marching, the troops of the 10th Division led by Yamashita Fengwu finally rushed back to Qiqihar, at this time the troops were very tired, but Yamashita Fengwu said with red eyes and some gritted teeth at Qiqihar who was close at hand: "Damn Meng Qingshan, I must personally capture you alive this time to wash my shame this time with blood." Yamashita Fengwu didn't expect that the target he wanted to capture alive at this time was already crossing the river in a small boat.

Meng Qingshan asked, "Have the Qingshan troops retreated?" ”

"The commander-in-chief has withdrawn, we are the last ones, and the chief of staff is waiting for us on the other side!"

Meng Qingshan nodded, with a solemn expression. He took one last look at Qiqihar in the distance, and then personally took out his flare gun and fired three shots into the sky, only to see the entire sky illuminated by three red signal flares, and the commander of the engineer company who detonated the bomb left in the city saw the signal and immediately gave the order to ignite. More than a dozen fuses sizzled and pounced on their respective targets like fiery snakes.

The Japanese troops who were originally advancing suddenly saw the signal flare in the sky, which frightened Fengwu under the mountain, thinking that Meng Qingshan had arranged an ambush here and waited for him to enter the urn, so he hurriedly ordered the troops to stop the pace of advance, and then waved his hand and asked the vanguard team to go to the front to explore the way.

With a loud bang, an important building of the Japanese army was destroyed, which startled the Japanese soldiers who were preparing to approach Qiqihar.

This explosion was just a prologue, and there was a huge sound from various facilities in the Japanese military city, and the huge Qiqihar soon turned into a sea of fire, because the Japanese army's facilities were all in remote places, so there was no need to worry about accidentally injuring the people.

The dazzling light of the fire could be seen clearly even in Gannan County, dozens of miles away, and the soldiers were speechless when they looked at such a terrifying scene, and after hearing the explosion in the city, Fengwu immediately knew that this was a good thing done by the Zhina people, thinking that Qiqihar was destroyed by the Zhina people, and His Excellency the Commander would definitely criticize him, so he shouted several times on the horse, spit out several mouthfuls of blood, and fell from his horse to the ground unconscious.

Meng Qingshan sighed and said, "With such an explosion, Qiqihar has returned to the original point, and I don't know if what we did this time was right or wrong." ”

"Commander-in-chief, of course you are doing the right thing, anyway, we can't leave these things to the little devils and let them harm us." Shen Qingshan said with a big grin.

The guards around him also applauded.

Looking at the group of heartless fighters around him, Meng Qingshan really didn't know what to say, such an explosion looked very good, but Meng Qingshan thought of restoring them to their original economic conditions, with the current situation of the Anti-Japanese Federation, it would take at least five years to recover, provided that there were enough funds, if the Anti-Japanese Federation destroyed a city every time it captured it, then after the Anti-Japanese Federation drove out the Japanese invaders, there would only be scars all over the city left for the Anti-Japanese Federation, it seems that it is better to do less of this kind of thing in the future, However, Shen Qingshan, how many explosives they planted, this is also too spectacular!
