"Commander ......"

The two devil officers who followed behind Kageyama Yan saw Kageyama Yan being shot, and pulled the fallen Kageyama Yan back to the command post in a loud exclamation, they took a look and found that Kageyama Yan had hung up, and one of them said in a deep voice:

"Report to the military headquarters that His Excellency the Commander was shot and killed, and request that the 10th Brigade be quickly reinforced, otherwise the entire Lushun and Dalian will fall into the hands of unknown forces."

The speed of the radio waves was very fast, and in less than five minutes, in the military headquarters of the Kwantung Army, the commander Ryokari Takashi saw that the telegram he had just received was already anxiously moving back and forth;

He looked back at his chief of staff, Lieutenant General Nishio Toshizo, and deputy chief of staff, Major General Okamura Ninji, two deputies who had been fighting in China for a long time, and he hoped that they would come up with a solution for him.

"If I expect it to be good, Lushun and Dalian will definitely fall into the hands of unknown forces, and there are two light cruisers of our Great Japanese Empire there, and if they fall into the hands of our enemies, the men of the Admiralty will call us incompetent." Takashi Hishikari said coldly after placing the telegram on the table.

Nishio Shouzo held his breath and tried to remain as calm as possible, he was now calculating his personal gains and losses, this time if the Lushun Fortress really missed, and he was not able to get it back in a short time, it is estimated that the commander and he, the chief of staff, would have to leave class;

If he goes back, even if he is not tried by a military court, he and Ryokari Takashi are estimated to be the objects of a long time on the cold bench, and he is considering whether to go back to his hometown of Tottori Prefecture, but as the military's concurrently serving as the head of the secret service, he still has to excuse himself. Nishio Shouzo's eyes were slightly puffed and he said in a deep voice:

"Your Excellency, the unknown force has appeared strangely, and you must know that Dalian is located in the southernmost part of Liaodong. And there is a narrow area, where it is impossible for a large army to raid anywhere, so the only way to land by sea is to land from a hidden place for a surprise attack;

According to our arrangement in and around the fortress, if the number of this enemy is small, although there is only a B-class army, according to the fact that the Chinese army is less than two divisions, it is not at all in the hands of our Imperial Japanese Army, and we still have raised their combat strength.

How did so many troops get to the Dalian area? I'd like to ask the head of the Soil Hibara Agency to study it. Know that his intelligence agents are everywhere in the surrounding cities. ”

Nishio Shouzo's words made Okamura Ningji on the side couldn't help but sneer in his heart, his head thought more than Nishio Shouzo, and it was the most unwise to shirk the responsibility at this time. The main thing now is to find out who the armed force is, how to quickly reinforce Dalian and retake the fortress and port of Arthur;

As for the warships that can be built without them, and the criticality of Arthur Port understands as long as anyone who knows a little about military affairs understands where to quickly send troops into the interior of China. Otherwise, troops would have to be sent by land or from North Korean ports.

Although understand these. But Okamura Ninji, who has always been cunning and cunning, still hangs his head, and when the commander does not name himself to express his opinion, he still does what a deputy should do.

Ryokari Takashi glanced at Nishio Shouzo coldly, and said lightly:

"Chief of Staff Nishio Shouzo, what we should be thinking about now is how to recapture Dalian, and as for the matter of intelligence, we will talk about it later;

Now the 10th Brigade of the 11th Division and the two puppet army divisions have rushed back, but even if it is fast, it will not be able to reach Dalian until the day after tomorrow, and by then the enemy will be ready to defend, and even if we win, we will suffer heavy casualties;

Now it's up to the Fortress Command for how long those thousands of people can hold on. Major General Okamura Ninji, you calculate. How many men and horses could the 3,000-strong Type B unit of the Imperial Japanese Army resist the Nationalist Army? ”

Listening to the commander ask himself, Okamura Ninji was a little entangled in his mind, and after a little consideration, he said:

"According to the analysis of the news of the Ministry of Secret Services and the Special High Section, the national army is now stepping up the training of their German armorers, and according to the secrets revealed by the high-level of the national government, the national army has now completed the assembly of five German armor divisions;

But even if they were armed with Mauser 24 and a large number of machine guns, one of their standard German armourers of 3,500 men would not be a match for one of our B wings, unless they had more than three times our strength to surprise and besiege our army. ”

"Not bad...... It seems that this time the German armor division of the national army was secretly sent to Dalian, preparing to curb the route of sending troops from the Korean direction to the mainland;

But isn't Jiang someone afraid that his elite troops will be completely annihilated by our imperial army? According to his character, he still has a secret deal with our Admiralty during this time, and the national army should not have the courage to do so. Ryokari said with a somewhat ambivalent look.

During this time, the Kuomintang had just taken advantage of the blockade of Japanese warships to destroy the Fujian government, which was bent on resisting the war, and it was impossible for him to mobilize troops to counterattack Dalian so quickly.

"Your Excellency, it seems that we have forgotten about an army that we have been knowing? In Yingkou, the Japanese army that we have suffered defeats one after another, will it be them, you must know that they have the strength to fight against our A troops. Okamura Ninji frowned and said in a deep voice.

"Destroy the Japanese army? Didn't Chief of Staff Nishio Toshizo design to use the refugee influx to drag them down, although our intelligence officers could not enter the Yingkou area, but such a large population influx could cause a food shortage, Your Excellency Chief of Staff, have you calculated how many refugees have poured into the Yingkou area in the past two months? Ryokari asked, looking at Nishio Shouzo.

Nishio Shouzo was slightly shocked at this time, this is the most perfect plan he has designed, not moving a shot or a cannon against the enemy, and the bloodless blade is the highest realm of a military strategist, and he called the action plan of grabbing food He felt that it was very efficient, and he said with a look of arrogance in his eyes:

"Yingkou was requisitioned a large amount of grain by our army in the middle of last year, except for some landlords and tyrants, because we can use them, we have not moved their granaries for the time being, and the food for most families in the winter cannot be guaranteed;

Our secret service department has specially studied that if that army reaches 10,000 people, even if they empty the granaries of all the local tyrants and landlords, at most they can only maintain the consumption of their army, and if they want to support the flow of refugees, unless they can transport a large amount of grain from Tianjin Port;

However, our secret services have never seen any grain shipped from the port of Tianjin, and we have not even seen a grain of grain from those gringo freighters.

Since the implementation of the plan, we have sent 1.5 million hungry people to Yingkou, and even some hungry people in North Korea and Harbin have entered the Yingkou territory;

Unless you kill these people, or else...... Hehe, it is estimated that the bark around Yingkou has been gnawed away by people now, and they still have the spirit to travel hundreds of nautical miles to fight Dalian across the peninsula. (To be continued......)
