Chapter 144 Farewell, Muto Nobuyoshi

Within eight days, the Japanese army lost important ground, and Japan's military, political, and economic foundation in the East Manchurian region was completely destroyed.

In places where the Bloody Hand Regiment could not reach the front, these anti-Japanese armed forces launched continuous attacks on Japanese puppet military targets and administrative organs such as the Japanese "Manchurian Pioneer Regiment", local police stations, and mountain and forest raiding teams.

However, the nearly 200,000 troops of the Kwantung Army were far away on the Andong line in West Manchuria, and some troops were still struggling to reinforce Andong's railway line.

This qiē was caused by the misjudgment of the position of the main force of the Bloody Hand Regiment, and not only that, but the strategic mistakes of one or two times pushed the main force of the Kwantung Army step by step to the position of being far away from the Bloody Hand Regiment and really attacking the target.

And during this period of time, the 200,000-strong army was stranded on the front line of Andong, with nothing to do, and the war in East Manchuria was in full swing, and the main force of the Kwantung Army was out of the way for eight days.

Within the Kwantung Army, for repeated battles with the Bloody Hand Regiment and suffered heavy defeats, they all questioned the strategic decisions of the headquarters, and some officers of the Shaozhuang faction pointed the spearhead at the Supreme Commander Muto Nobuyoshi, and even asked him to commit suicide by disembowelment to apologize to His Majesty the Emperor and the people of Japan

In this case, the plenipotentiary of the base camp, the officer of the War Department, Army General Minamijiro, flew to Mukden.

In just a few days, the high-spirited General Muto Nobuyoshi seemed to have aged by dozens of years all of a sudden, and the opposition from the officers and men at the grassroots level, as well as the questioning eyes of the senior staff officers of the headquarters, deeply pierced the arrogant heart of this fanatical soldier who devoted his whole life to the cause of aggression of the Great Japanese Empire.

When the situation in East Manchuria first began to deteriorate, he did not think about quickly transferring the main force of the Kwantung Army on the front line of Andong to the East Manchurian battlefield.

However, the two large-scale battles with the bloody hand Qiuli, both of which were the shadow of defeat, and the poisonous snake entrenched in his heart, this is a terrible opponent, his way of using troops, completely unconventional cards, you can never guess what he will do next.

Even if the troops are mobilized immediately, it will take ten to twelve days at the earliest, and the vanguard will appear on the battlefield in East Manchuria, and when the troops arrive, the troops of the Bloody Hand Regiment will mysteriously disappear again, and they will suddenly appear at a time and place you don't expect.

Bloody hand Qiuli, what kind of person is this, such a terrible opponent, without any warning, as if suddenly turned out, Muto Nobuyoshi wanted to break his head, but there was still no way to sort out these things.

On the military map, he marked all the places and times of the previous battles with the Bloody Hand Regiment, trying to find some patterns from them, but it was very painful that there were no rules at all, and the places of the battles were very jumpy, almost disconnected areas.

What made him even more painful was that each place of battle meant that a unit of the Imperial Army had been wiped out, and these place names, expanding before his eyes, gradually transformed into the face of a very young Shina man with a mockery.

If you want to meet with the representatives of the base camp in the afternoon, can you only report on the number of casualties, the lost towns, and the lost mines? I haven't even found the reason for my failure, even if it's a plausible reason.

In his heart, uncontrollable hatred and anger suddenly welled up, and his hands grabbed fiercely in the air, as if he was about to grab the bloody hand Qiuli who had repeatedly failed miserably and lost face, and grabbed him in the air, strangled and crushed him, but it was only his own palm that stung.

Muto Nobuyoshi slumped into his chair, a visceral sense of powerlessness that made him physically and mentally exhausted and weak.

However, at least there is one thing that Muto Nobuyoshi feels right, that is, the bloody hand is very young, and he is unexpectedly young.

At this time, Tang Qiuli was in a very good mood, and the intelligence from Anton showed that the main force of the devils chasing him was still stranded on the front line of Anton, and he originally thought that there was only ten to twelve days to turn the East Manchurian region upside down.

However, eight days have passed, and the devil has not moved at all, and there is no intelligence to show that the devil's main force is attacking the East Manchurian region, and the old devil Muto is scared, and the failure of the two encirclements, Muto is now a bird of shock, he can't guess where my next attack target is, and he didn't dare to act rashly.

In the past eight days, it was given by the old devil Muto Bai, so well, I'll take this favor and give you a big one.

In view of the fact that the devils did not make any new moves, the troops took a short break in the East Manchurian region for five to six days.

The strategic resources in this area were thoroughly searched again, and then transported back to the base, and the wounded also returned at the same time.

At the same time, the logistics department of the base was ordered to replenish the troops with supplies and ammunition.

The second, third, and fourth detachments and artillery detachments, during the period of concealment and standby in the East Manchurian region, each unit recruited a large number of new soldiers, and all of them were very good, and now, except for one detachment, because of continuous operations, the troops suffered large losses and did not replenish the troops, the rest of the detachments, the strength of the troops has reached nearly 6,000 people.

These detachment commanders, waiting for orders and waiting for trouble, have nothing to do, so they play with their lives to train these recruits, not to mention, this kind of high-intensity training has made these new soldiers' various military skills improve very quickly.

After several major battles, with the test and experience of life and death on the battlefield, this group of recruits grew rapidly and soon formed combat effectiveness.

The overall combat effectiveness of the three detachments and the artillery detachment not only did not decline, but because of the addition of these new blood, the original veterans felt the pressure and spontaneously formed an upsurge of improving their military skills, and the overall strength of the entire detachment was greatly improved.

In contrast, the current strength of Li Honggang's detachment is the weakest, and Tang Qiuli also feels that he owes a lot to the first team, after all, the first team was disabled in his own hands.

The large army was in a state of repair, Tang Qiuli was not idle, he let the cavalry detachment and the special detachment be divided into several squads, breaking the boundaries of the detachment, and each squad was organized into thirty new soldiers, so that they could get better training in the actual battle.

The mixed formation of infantry and cavalry attacked everywhere, cleared those puppet Manchu organs and traitor strongholds, and attacked the scattered Japanese puppet forces.

Taking time out, he also went with Xiaoling to visit the long-admired Weihu Mountain, which is the deepest impression in his memory of his previous life, for the description of the natural scenery and battle scenes in the forest and snow field, he has always been very fascinated, and now, he is here, how can he not go.

Perhaps, he can still meet a mountain carving, a bearded family that has been a bandit for several generations, and it is possible to pull him into the bloody hand group, if this is the case, in the future generations, there will probably be no Lin Haixueyuan, this heirloom work.

Thinking that he is about to change part of history, change the life trajectory and fate of several protagonists, he has a sense of absurdity.

It turned out that he wanted to take a dozen guards and enjoy the two-person world without alarming anyone, but this matter was learned by several bigwigs in the headquarters, and they first tried their best to dissuade them, saying that there was a relatively powerful bearded army on Weihu Mountain.

Because according to the local people, they still fight devils, and in the Mudanjiang area, they have fought with little devils several times, so the troops did not go to eliminate them, but sent local people who were in contact with them to understand their political positions and attitudes.

Later, seeing that it could not be stopped, and knowing that the young commander was still childlike, he went with him, but in addition to the entire strength of the directly subordinate guards, the number of the current directly subordinate guards has increased to five hundred and thirty people, and the strength of a brigade of the special detachment has also been sent as a guard force.

Tang Qiuli was very uncomfortable, as if he was traveling with dignitaries, but the result was really unexpected by Tang Qiuli's team, not only did he not see the legendary mountain carving of the bearded family, and he climbed into friendship, but also suffered a cold shot.

After the troops rushed up, they occupied the Weihu Hall, and they didn't even see a figure, Tang Qiuli searched around in the cave, and he didn't find the secret passage that the mountain eagle used to escape, it seems that this was dug up later.

However, the scenery around Weihu Mountain made him feast his eyes, and at sunset, Tang Shao was satisfied, and returned with charity, leaving behind a relatively depressed beard of Weihu Mountain, I don't know where to offend this plague god.

Mukden, a secret room at the headquarters of the Japanese Kwantung Army, Muto Nobuyoshi was worried and full of worries waiting for the plenipotentiary representative of the base camp.

The door of the secret room was pushed open, and General Minamijiro, who was armed with a sword, walked in with a smile on his face, and after greetings, the guests and hosts sat down, and did not speak for a while, looking at each other.

For Minamijiro, Muto Nobuyoshi still knows a lot, Nanjiro can be called a senior in the Japanese military circles, when Muto Nobuyoshi has not graduated from high school, Minamijiro served in the Japanese Army, and conquered the Quartet for the Japanese Empire to open up territory.

Later, he was one of the masterminds behind the Manchurian Incident, Muto Nobuyoshi in his heart, but he didn't look down on this senior in the military circles, this duke has been in the army for many years, but he has not made too many achievements, but he has played with political tricks quite deeply.

Minamijiro is also looking at Muto Nobuyoshi, this is an arrogant guy, but also an unlucky guy, he doesn't know where his failures are.

The conversation was brief, and the headquarters issued an order to remove Muto Nobuyoshi from the post of commander of the Kwantung Army and recall him to the mainland, where he was replaced by General Minamijiro.

Muto Nobuyoshi boarded the plane to Japan alone and sadly, and when the plane took off, he took one last look, this land that did not belong to them, and made him lose face, and then closed his eyes in pain.
