After receiving Lantian's order, thousands of remnants of the puppet army began to flee in all directions, while the surrounding exterminating Japanese troops continued to strafe with submachine guns;

The shells that are constantly digging big pits in the ground will not open the net because of their escape, only to see the wanton shrapnel spreading a wide net throughout the shelling area, harvesting away the ant-like lives of these traitors who have betrayed China.

The Japanese troops on the hillside still held their ground after the death of Nakajima, and in Shenyang, hundreds of miles, Nanjiro had already torn up many telegrams from Unknown Road, and none of the good news came back that filled his heart with panic;

Nishio Shouzo, who was on the side, was analyzing the battlefield news coming back from the front on the map, while Okamura Ninji sneered and looked at the two panicked guys and continued to keep in touch with the army in front.

Nishio Shouzo raised his head and said to Minamijiro depressedly:

"Commander, the news from the front is not very good, we have to send that little troops from Liaoyang and several other counties to reinforce the estimated effect is not good, it will take more than a day from Shenyang to the front line, and the second division sent should not be able to reach the battlefield, and Lieutenant General Zhongdao will not be able to withstand it......"

Nishio Shouzo felt sad that he had lost another point, and before he could stop talking, the dignitary took a telegram and handed it to Minamijiro and reported:

"Report to Your Excellency Commander, the front line telegram, the commander of the Nakajima Division has been shattered, the rest of the imperial army is still holding its position, the enemy's artillery bombardment is still not stopping, and those renegade imperial alliance troops have been almost wiped out by the annihilating Japanese army."

"It's over...... The 16th Division is finished, let them burn the wing flag, we have failed. Can't let the numbers of the six wings be lost, notify the commander of the second division, Qin Zhenci, and let them deploy defenses in the area from Zhongzhen Town to Xisi Town. To prevent the advance of the Japanese army from threatening our Anshan iron and steel plan. Minamijiro said weakly.

The first fire in office lost more than 20,000 Japanese soldiers and more than 30,000 imperial troops.

The equipment that destroyed the Japanese army was much stronger than that of the Japanese army, although the other side was not many in number, but they did not need money to play artillery bombardment, which the Japanese army could not confront at all.

Nishio Shouzo looked at Okamura Ninji, who was standing by the radio and constantly giving orders, he walked up to Nanjiro and gestured with his eyes, and Nanjiro said to Okamura Ninji:

"Okaymura-kun. You immediately go to the intelligence agency of the special high school to find the head of Kenji Dohihara, and ask him to learn more about the information on the destruction of the Japanese army, there is nothing important here... Thing. Let's go, we'll have to report to the military headquarters later. ”

Okamura Ninji was stunned for a moment and understood that the two were going to hook up on something and didn't want to let himself know, he tapped his fingers on the table a few times, and the confidential officer who was sending the report paused and continued to tap the electric keys in his hand.

"It's good. Your Excellency the Commander. I'll go to the intelligence agency right away. Okamura nodded in response.

After he finished speaking, he quickly turned around and left, and Minamijiro and Nishio Shouzo began to mumble in front of the big map, and Nanjiro said to Nishio Shouzo with a twinkle in his eyes:

"Nishio-kun, originally we wanted to take the entire Yingkou and the peninsula in one fell swoop, but we didn't expect that the Japanese army would have the support of those gringos, and they would make up for the problem of their army's small number and low combat power with unlimited artillery bombardment;

The losses this time are even greater than the losses of Ryokarataka, and we have to explain the situation to the War Department and the General Staff, otherwise the fate of Ryokarata will be a lesson for us. ”

Nishio Shouzo's thin face twitched twice. A large mouth that took up half of the face opened and sighed before replying:

"Commander, we don't know about the battle that has been going on for the destruction of the Japanese army. This time we understand the reason why this annihilation of the Japanese army is strong;

They had large weapons supported by gringos, and there was enough ammunition available for them to consume, and they used superior firepower to cover the troops that hit us, and such a victory was a shame.

However, their way of fighting can only be used in such a local war, and no country can support their attrition;

I summarized the situation reported from the front, and they consumed no less than 20,000 tons of artillery shells in this battle, which is half of the shells that we did not consume when we fought the entire northeast and even broke into the Xifengkou and broke through the Great Wall;

This is terrifying, if there is an army that can consume cannonballs like this without limit, then there is an army in the world that is their opponent. ”

The corners of Nanjiro's eyes twitched slightly, he had to come up with countermeasures before the War Department and the General Staff could find him this time, there was no doubt about the strength of the enemy's equipment;

However, the mainland had already conveyed to itself the possibility of attacking the Soviet Russian Far East in the north, and he also knew that there was a foreign fleet to deliver supplies to the Japanese army, and he had to temporarily maintain restraint in the surrounding area;

This time, in order to show his wisdom and martial arts, tens of thousands of troops were destroyed, and if he couldn't come up with a good explanation, the people in the staff department would also have to go back to accept the questioning.

Nanjiro's eyes were slightly slightly glazed and he said expressionlessly:

"Nishio-kun sorted out the process of this battle and explained that because the Japanese army was harassing our army's front, the Kwantung Army Headquarters decided to send the 16th Division, which had just been transferred back to Manchuria, to destroy the Japanese army stationed in Qikou Town, but unexpectedly, the enemy received a large amount of foreign arms to form an encirclement and continuous artillery bombardment of our army;

Up to now, the enemy has been shelling continuously for more than six hours, it is estimated that the enemy has consumed more than 30,000 tons of ammunition, and the enemy has used more than 120 heavy artillery, so we have to let some soldiers who can leave the battlefield retreat to the area of Haichengzi;

The Kwantung Army Headquarters decided to temporarily let Qin Zhenci of the Second Division lead his troops to the front line to build a defensive line to strictly prevent the Japanese army from attacking Manchuria inside.

It is hoped that the headquarters will consult the Admiralty on the issue of the enemy's large amount of foreign support, so that the Chinese armed forces can easily obtain a huge amount of foreign arms, and if Chiang's bald national army also has such a large amount of arms support, then our Imperial Japanese Army might as well return to the mainland as soon as possible;

Nishio-kun should send it back to the War Department for this reason, we can't wait for them to ask for a report before we report, then we will be very passive. ”

Minamijiro's strategy was correct, to blame the Admiralty, so that with the contradiction between the army and the navy, his troubles could be reduced by more than half;

As long as the follow-up explanation can be recognized, he will not be promoted in a few years if he is reprimanded, anyway, it will be a few years before he, the general, will be promoted to general, as for the marshal, that thing does not have absolute great merit, he will not think about it.

Nishio Shouzo also understood this truth, and after listening to Nanjiro's explanation, he immediately began to consider the choice of words, until he felt that he was satisfied, and then dictated a preliminary report to the War Department's Qikou Town Campaign, and as for the later stage, he could not make a complete report until the whole battle was over.
