Xinjing, the headquarters of the Japanese Far Eastern Army.
Kimura Hyōtaro quickly walked into Yamashita Fengfumi's office, stood upright, and then reported: "Your Excellency, Commander, the imperial army has reoccupied Fengtian."
Yamashita Fengwen said: "When the imperial army entered the city, there was no resistance?"
"No." Kimura Hyōtaro shook his head and said, "We did not encounter any resistance."
"Yo Xi." Yamashita Fengwen nodded happily after hearing this, and added, "Fengtian, the most important industrial town in Manchukuo, has finally returned to the hands of the imperial army."
Kimura Hyōtaro immediately showed a hint of embarrassment on his face and hesitated to speak.
Yamashita Fengwen immediately asked: "Why, is there anything else going on?"
"Hai!" Kimura Hyotarō paused and said, "Before Xu Rui's troops left Fengtian, they bombed nearly twenty factories, including the Fengtian Ordnance Factory. Therefore, Fengtian's heavy industry system has been destroyed.
The destruction has occurred. Without three to five years of construction, I am afraid it will be impossible to return to the previous climate."
"Baga!" Yamashita Fengwen heard this and his face turned livid with anger.
But the bombs have already been blown up, so there's no use getting angry anymore.
Hyōtaro Kimura hesitated for a moment and then said: "Your Excellency, Commander, there is something else I don't know how to deal with?"
Yamashita Fengfumi's face immediately showed a solemn look, because he had given full authority to suppress the rebellion and maintain public security to Kimura Hyōtaro. If it was just an important matter, Kimura Hyōtaro would not be able to ask him again, and it was something he could not decide.
It must be a major event, and it is likely to affect the long-term peace and stability of Manchukuo.
At that moment, Yamashita Fengwen said in a deep voice: "Kimura-kun, if you have any questions, you can tell me."
"Hai!" Kimura Hyōtaro paused heavily and added, "Intelligence from the secret service showed that Xu Rui's troops left behind a large number of seriously injured people and food that could not be taken away before escaping. These seriously injured people and food were all hidden in
Logically speaking, the so-called fortress households secretly developed by the Communist Party cannot tolerate the rebels at all. Since there are wounded soldiers from the Eighth Route Army hiding in Fengtian City, they must be found and executed, as well as the food.
It was also forcibly taken away by Xu Rui’s troops from the armed colonization groups and Imperial residents, so it should be found and returned to the Imperial Bridge residents.”
After a pause, Hyōtaro Kimura continued: "However, I am worried that this will provoke a new round of resistance. Even if it is forcibly suppressed by the imperial army, Fengtian's industry and commerce will definitely suffer a heavy blow.
, it will be even more difficult to return to the previous situation.”
"No, there must be no more chaos in Fengtian!" Yamashita Fengwen said categorically, "Although the imperial army won the Far East Battle and occupied the Far East and half of Siberia, the industrial areas of Komsomolsk, Khabarovsk, and former Lake Baikal
It suffered heavy losses in the war, and its recovery is even slower. Therefore, at this time, Manchukuo must maintain the stability of industrial production, because it cannot support the huge military consumption of millions of imperial troops with its own land."
"Hai!" Kimura Hyōtaro paused and said, "Then what do you mean, Commander, postpone it?"
"Delay!" Yamashita Fengwen waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "At least until the security situation in Manchukuo is completely restored, it is not appropriate to carry out large-scale search operations in Fengtian City." After a pause, Yamashita Fengwen continued, "But let the spies
It’s okay for people from the agency to investigate secretly and deal with one household after another. Remember not to blindly expand the scale!”
"Hai, I understand my humble position!" Hyōtaro Kimura paused again, turned around and left.
When they reached the door, Kobayashi Asaburo hurriedly walked in, and the two old devils almost bumped into each other.
Fortunately, Kimura Hyōtaro reacted quickly enough, stepped aside, and then made a gesture of invitation to Kobayashi Asaburo. Kobayashi Asaburo paused slightly, then turned and entered Yamashita Hobumi's office.
Yamashita Fengwen said: "Mr. Xiaolin, is there any good news for the Right Army?"
"Hai, I really can't hide anything from the Commander." Asaburo Kobayashi paused slightly and then said, "I just received a telegram from the Right Army Army. Datong and Guisui have been recaptured this evening, but it will be soon."
Unfortunately, before the Right Route Army surrounded Datong City, the Eighth Route Army had already transferred all the people and supplies in the city, leaving Datong almost an empty city!"
"Nani, the hateful Eighth Route Army!" Yamashita Fengwen slammed the table angrily, and then asked, "Where is Guisui? Has Guisui also become an empty city?"
"Not in Guisui." Asaburo Kobayashi shook his head and said, "Fu Zuoyi's Sui army was still lucky and tried to defend Guisui City, but was defeated by the right army commanded by General Rommel. This battle
Later, Fu Zuoyi's Sui army was severely weakened and could no longer pose any threat to the troops stationed in Mongolia."
Yamashita Fengwen said solemnly: "But the strength of the Eighth Route Army continues unabated!"
"Hai!" Asaburo Kobayashi paused and said, "In the future, the first task of the Mongolian Army will be to guard against the Eighth Route Army in Suiyuan and the Soviet Army in Siberia. Therefore, I believe that the headquarters of the Mongolian Army should be moved to Cullen as soon as possible, and
Focus on forming cavalry regiments, because the Mongolian plateau is more suitable for cavalry operations."
By the way, Mongolia was easily destroyed by Rommel on his way south.
Today, Mongolia has become a puppet protectorate of Japan, just like the puppet Manchukuo.
Yamashita Fengwen said happily: "What Mr. Xiaolin said is absolutely true. I will convey your suggestions to the base camp."
When Asaburo Kobayashi heard this, he immediately felt secretly happy. The reason why he proposed this suggestion to Yamashita Fengfumi was to hope that Yamashita Fengfumi would convey his suggestion to the base camp. Then once the base camp adopts his suggestion, he is likely to be transferred to the garrison.
The Mongolian army serves as the commander. With his qualifications and record, he is qualified enough to serve as the commander of the army.
Yamashita Fengfumi also knew the elegant meaning of Xiange after hearing it. In fact, he also hoped that Kobayashi Asaburo would reach higher levels.
Asaburo Kobayashi added: "The Right Army under the command of General Rommel is making rapid progress. After recapturing Datong and Guisui, it is time to drive straight into North China and attack Peking and Tianjin. With the strength of the Right Army, the Eighth Route Army will not be able to do anything at all."
We cannot defend Peiping and Tianjin, so it is only a matter of time to recapture Peiping and Tianjin."
Yamashita Fengwen smiled and said: "Speaking of the Right Route Army, I have good news here. According to the intelligence provided by the secret service, the Eighth Route Army in Peiping and Tianjin has been transferring personnel and various materials outside the city, so to recapture Peiping and Tianjin,
Restoring the public security situation in North China is a matter of course."
"Hai!" Asaburo Kobayashi paused slightly, then sighed, "In contrast, our left army's pursuit of Xu Rui's remnants was not smooth, especially since the 177th Infantry Regiment has not yet
Being able to block Tonghua County first made the entire war situation take a turn for the worse, and it is an irreversible fact that the remnants of Xu Rui's troops fled into the Changbai Mountains."
Yamashita Fengwen waved his hand and said: "The 177th Infantry Regiment failed to seal Tonghua County first and allowed Xu Rui's remnants to flee into Changbai Mountain. This is indeed regrettable. However, Xu Rui's remnants fled into Changbai Mountain and
This does not mean that our left army's pursuit and suppression operation has completely failed, the imperial army still has a chance."
"Nani? The imperial army still has a chance?" Asaburo Kobayashi said in astonishment, "Commander, please tell me frankly, are you too optimistic? Changbai Mountain is deep and forested, and Xu Rui's remnants are rushing into Changbai Mountain.
After the area is reached, all he needs to do is break his troops into pieces and head into the deep mountains and forests, and the imperial army will be completely helpless."
After a pause, Asaburo Kobayashi continued: "Back then, the Kwantung Army used more than 200,000 troops to suppress the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces, and the campaign lasted for almost ten years! But now, the remaining combat supplies of the Right Route Army are only enough to last for four years.
The base camp cannot rely on the divisions needed for five or six months of operations, because the empire's financial situation is already on the verge of bankruptcy."
Yamashita Fengwen shook his head and said: "The reason why the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces were able to persist in the dense forests for nearly ten years was because they built many secret camps in the dense forests. However, Xu Rui's remnants only rushed into the Changbai Mountains yesterday and had no time to build them.
Secret camp, where do they live after entering the deep mountains and forests? What do they eat?"
Asaburo Kobayashi said: "When Xu Rui's troops evacuated Fengtian, they took away hundreds of tons of supplies, at least half of which were grain. Are they still afraid that they will have nothing to eat? If they collect some more grain from Tonghua County and nearby market towns, it will be enough for them.
Hold on for two or even three years! But it is impossible for the imperial army to stay stationed in the Changbai Mountains for a long time!"
Yamashita Fengwen smiled and said: "Kimura-kun just told me that when Xu Rui's remnants evacuated Fengtian, they only took away a small part of the food, and most of the food was actually still hidden in Fengtian City!" After a pause, he added, "Just now
, Miss Inoue provided me with another piece of information. It is said that banditry is very rampant in the Changbai Mountains. The wealthy landowners and gentry have been almost wiped out by the bandits. The remaining people are very poor, so Xu Rui's troops are afraid of being killed in the mountainous area.
We can’t raise much food.”
"Nani?" Asaburo Kobayashi's eyes suddenly lit up and he said urgently, "Your Excellency, Commander, if this is really the case, our left army really has a chance to wipe out Xu Rui's troops!" After a pause, he said with a sinister smile.
, "Xu Rui led his remnants and fled into the Changbai Mountains. He originally wanted to escape the pursuit of the imperial army, but unexpectedly, he ended up in a dead end! This is really asking for death!"
Yamashita Fengwen said with a ferocious smile: "This is called, the agency was too clever in calculating, and it cost your life! Xu Rui has always been known for his cunning, and I don't know how many senior generals of the imperial army fell under his conspiracy, but today
, but he finally died due to his own cunning, which can be regarded as evil retribution."
