Section 47: The Kwantung Army's Crisis

The situation is different from the security regiment headquarters. The Kwantung Army Command can be said to be in a bad mood. Since yesterday, news of support has been heard from the front line. In addition, which division was defeated again, and which company captain had committed suicide again. There was no good news. What was going on?

The Kwantung Army Command has no good grasp of the situation on the front line, because their air force has lost all losses and the reconnaissance forces cannot send out. Now there are almost no more than thirty aircraft that can be dispatched. This is simply fatal for a large military group. All other things can be released, but news from the front line must be transmitted back.

Now the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army is no one else, but an old acquaintance of Mao Yuanshan. The former commander of the North China Garage Army General Mijiro Umezu, now he has served as the commander of the Kwantung Army. He now feels very depressed. When he was in the North China Garage Army, this guy made trouble for himself, so that he did not gain a foothold in China.

After staying in the reserve service in Japan for a while, I finally became the commander of the Kwantung Army, but this guy was causing trouble for himself. Before he could sit on the hot side, you brought your people to attack.

When Mijiro Umezu knew who was attacking, he felt that his fate was very tragic. How could he get a certain amount of political capital in China smoothly?

After I returned, I became the chief of the army. Why did I not go well after I arrived in China? When I was the commander of the North China garrison army, I thought I could defeat the entire North China and give myself a few more stars on my shoulders. Who knew that when I met Mao Yuanshan, this guy simply didn't play by the rules, and he was scolded by His Majesty the Emperor, and was directly sent back to the reserve service in China. After staying in China for several months, I finally seized the opportunity and let myself serve as the commander of the Kwantung Army. This Kwantung Army is the best team in the Japanese Army.

"Report to the Commander, this is the latest report on the front-line battlefield. According to the information we have found and the reply from some front-line division commanders, we have now retreated to Chengde and organized a very strong defense line here. We are absolutely confident that we can resist the security regiment's army here." A line of defense on the map pointed out by the combat staff said that this is the last line of defense in the entire Rehe Province. If Chengde is lost, the entire Rehe will be lost.

He will become the first commander of the Kwantung Army to lose territory since he took office.

I don’t know when it started, but all the Japanese have regarded the Northeast as the same as their own country. In their eyes, this area is more important than the local area.

During the entire Second World War, the various resources and various industrial products provided by the Northeast region exceeded the production of Japan's local area in the late war, so this is very important for the entire Japan. If something happens, the entire Japan may change.

"The bastards on the front finally got the news back. Why didn't they report it early? What happened to the front line?" From this sentence, we can see how incompetent the commander is. The most important thing to do now is not to blame the commander on the front line, but to give them some suggestions to prevent this crisis.

As for the matter of holding the responsibility accountable, it should be done after the battle. You should take responsibility first and then do things. This is already putting the cart before the horse. If the officers on the front line know, they will curse the commander for being bullshit.

"His Excellency the report commander, during the first phase of defense, the enemy dispatched a large number of aircraft to bombard some of our communication equipment, and our planes did not provide them with support, so the report was delayed." The generals on the front line also had troubles.

This mechanized war should be our response to Chinese talents. Why are their planes bombarded in the sky? And since the second day of the war, we have never seen our planes?

Don’t you brag about how powerful our air force is? It’s said that China is full of old aircraft, and our pilots can knock them down with their eyes. It’s time to use it. What the hell are these men in the headquarters doing? How come they don’t send the plane out and perform for us to show!

We don’t ask you to close your eyes and beat the enemy down. You can open your eyes and beat them down!

Speaking of the Air Force issue, Mejiro Umezu didn't say anything. The serious losses of the Air Force were directly related to him. Many people have already said that the Air Force of the Security Corps is too powerful and should be prepared for protection. A large number of aircraft should be scattered to the surrounding airports, rather than concentrated on several large airports. Now, when the war started, they were all neatly arranged on the airport, and a large military parade came directly, and there was a lack of a large number of air defense weapons, which allowed the enemy air force to achieve great results.

"Immediately let the 6th Division stationed in the Shanhaiguan area support Chengde at full speed and tell them that this line of defense must not be missed. If this line of defense is lost, the entire Rehe River will be no longer in our hands. At that time, the gates of the entire three eastern provinces will be opened, and these security groups will definitely pounce on like wolves." There are currently two regular troops in Chengde area, and a defensive force of a mixed brigade. The total number of troops has reached more than 70,000. There should be no problem in defending a medium-sized city.

Of course, this is just a theoretical number. It is useless to encounter people from security teams who are theoretical numbers.

Now Meijiro Umezu is also scared. If Seung-de really throws it away, then opening the door to the three northeastern provinces will be just around the corner. By then, the crimes he committed will be great, and the Manchuria region must not be misunderstood.
