Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The question raised by Lieutenant General Matsuda Kenjiro, Chief of Staff of the Kwantung Army, is almost nonsense. No matter from any perspective, there is no reason why the Kwantung Army troops should not implement the orders of the Far East Campaign Headquarters.

    Not to mention the order of operations, the Kwantung Army is under the command of the Far East Campaign Headquarters. Even if we are now replenishing soldiers, weapons and equipment, and restoring our strength as soon as possible, we cannot do without Prince Zai Ren, a big man with hands and eyes as wide as the sky. The entire territory of Manchuria is originally the Kwantung Army.  defense zone, and the northeastern border was no exception. A new enemy force appeared, threatening the security of Manchuria. The Kwantung Army would be derelict in its duty if it did not send troops for targeted deployment.

    The reason why General Nanjiro hesitated to express his position was that he was worried about the current strength of the Kwantung Army and divided his troops into two areas. In the future, he would face the Niangziguan Garrison Corps of the Independent Division in western Liaoning and the Outer Mongolia Field Corps of the Independent Division in the northeastern border area.  At this time, neither party can get a good deal!

    Therefore, he was very annoyed by the chief of staff's questioning, and asked coldly, "Matsuda-kun, do we have a reason not to execute it?"

    Chief of Staff Matsuda was an honest man. He thought for a moment and replied honestly: "Commander-in-Chief, we have no reason not to carry out the orders of the Far East Campaign Headquarters!"

    The topic ended here. The division of troops to the northeastern border area of ??Manchuria was an indisputable fact. Just as Chief of Staff Matsuda was about to leave, he was stopped by General Nanjiro, "Wait a minute, Matsuda-kun, about this independence  How much does our intelligence department know about the Mongolian Field Corps outside the division and its commander Sun Zhenbang?¡±

    Chief of Staff Matsuda smiled bitterly and replied: "Commander-in-Chief, we only learned about the basic situation of the Independent Division and its commander after receiving the enemy situation report from the Intelligence Headquarters of the Far East Campaign Headquarters. However,  The report from the Headquarters Intelligence Headquarters is very simple. I only know that its commander is Sun Zhenbang, with the rank of major general. The Outer Mongolia Field Corps is a newly formed unit. In the combat sequence of the independent division, it is a second-rate unit, that's all!"

    "What? - So simple. What's going on? How will I deploy the troops without knowing the basic situation of the enemy? Matsuda-kun, the Kwantung Army cannot rely solely on the fragmented information from the headquarters intelligence agency. By the way, our intelligence agency  What specific information do they have!" General Nanjiro said very dissatisfied.

    It seems.  The commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army.  Some time ago, I was knocked unconscious by the Soviets. Many situations in the Kwantung Army headquarters have changed, and I don't know much about it. Chief of Staff Matsuda has a bitter face full of helplessness.  Said: "Commander-in-Chief, don't you know? - Since the establishment of the Far East Campaign Headquarters, an order has been issued that all military intelligence agencies under the jurisdiction of the Far East Campaign Headquarters will be under the direct command of the Far East Campaign Headquarters Intelligence Headquarters.  The headquarters has no right to interfere with its daily work!¡±

    "What? - Such a thing could happen?" General Nanjiro screamed and asked in disbelief.

    Chief of Staff Yamada further explained: "Perhaps you were busy responding to the Soviet attack and forgot about this matter. The affiliation of intelligence agencies at all levels changed. The Far East Campaign Headquarters issued a special order. The reason was that in order to strengthen the intelligence agency's  Work efficiency makes all the intelligence systems of the empire's forces in the Far East form a whole, making it easier to share and exchange information. As for vertical command, the headquarters explains that it can more effectively perform the special functions of the intelligence agency! "

    "This move is very clever! He is indeed a veteran who is good at playing power!" General Nanjiro said with infinite emotion. He could see through Prince Zairen's intention at a glance. The intelligence agency is the eyes and ears of each army, and they all collect information uniformly.  Under the management of the Far East Campaign Headquarters, Prince Zai Ren can provide the desired intelligence to different troops in a targeted and selective manner, so that all troops will unconsciously revolve around the Far East Campaign Headquarters. The Kwantung Army  No exception!

    ¡°But, knowing that this is the case, what can General Nanjiro say?  "Matsuda-kun, in accordance with the requirements of the headquarters, immediately select and deploy troops to form a border garrison and go to the northeastern border area to take on the task of monitoring and guarding the Outer Mongolia Field Corps of the Independent Division, as well as the next batch of additional soldiers and weapons from the mainland.  Equipment, priority is given to replenishing the various units of the Northeastern Border Guard. You must personally supervise this matter¡ªquickly!¡±

    Chief of Staff Matsuda left in a hurry, and General Nanjiro exhaled slowly, "Sun Zhenbang? New opponent! - Among the generals under the command of the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli, he is unknown. I hope he is not a terrible opponent.  Come on!" he said to himself.

    Major General Sun Zhenbang, commander of the Independent Division's Outer Mongolia Field Corps, did not know that he had been targeted by two heavyweight bosses of the Japanese Far East Army. His name was constantly mentioned, which made the commander-in-chief of the Japanese Far East Campaign Headquarters  Prince Zain and General Nanjiro, the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, were extremely vigilant. It seemed that it was impossible for him not to register with the Japanese intelligence agency.??Sun Zhenbang was busy making arrangements. After he led a dozen brigade commanders to Peiping to attend a military conference, he was very busy with the issue of troop training and combat readiness.

    A few days later, a piece of top-secret intelligence arrived at the temporary headquarters of the Chita Independent Division. Lieutenant General Liu Tiehan, the deputy division commander, saw the intelligence first and frowned, "Hey!" He smiled proudly, "Commander, look  Look, Sun Zhenbang's regiment has achieved its initial goal of alerting the enemy, and the Kwantung Army has moved!" He handed the information to Tang Qiuli.

    The content of the intelligence was as concise as ever, "Headquarters, our station has learned that General Nanjiro, the commander-in-chief of the Japanese Kwantung Army, has decided to transfer eight divisions from the existing forces to form a northeastern Manchuria border garrison.  In addition, in Japan, the first batch of 150,000 soldiers and weapons and equipment added to the Kwantung Army arrived in Northeast China two days ago. There will be subsequent additions. The specific situation is unknown and is being obtained!  "

    Tang Qiuli's smile was as bright as the sun, "Brother Tiehan, you are really wonderful in striking the grass and frightening the snake with one hand. Eight divisions, Nanjiro is such a big hand. I'm afraid it won't be the three-thirds of the Kwantung Army's existing strength."  About a third of it will be used to deal with Sun Zhenbang!" He said with a smile.

    Liu Tiehan said with a smile: "It's just a small trick, but I didn't expect the Japanese army's reaction to be so fierce. It doesn't matter if Sun Zhenbang's corps can hold back about one-third of the Kwantung Army's strength, it is a success. I have given Sun Zhenbang an order."  The Outer Mongolia Field Corps is ordered to focus on attracting Japanese Kwantung Army troops to the northeastern border, and no excessive actions are allowed. Division Commander, is this appropriate for me to handle? "

    Tang Qiuli spread his hands and said, "Brother Tiehan, you are the deputy division commander acting as the division commander. Why do you need to ask me? Today is June 6th. Shouldn't you make arrangements for us to fly to Peking together?"

    Liu Tiehan said quite relaxedly: "There are no arrangements. Ketian will stay. As long as he is here, I won't worry! But"

    Liu Tiehan said half of the words, he seemed hesitant to speak, Tang Qiuli was surprised, and asked: "Brother Tiehan, if you have anything to say, you might as well say it bluntly, hesitating is not your brother's temper!"

    Liu Tiehan lowered his voice, approached Tang Qiuli and said: "Commander, the original intention of forming the East Point Force was to use it as the main force to regain the entire Northeast. Hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers up and down the East Point are also working towards this goal, but now  Looking at the situation on the battlefield in the Far East, the battle location of the East Point troops will be outside the Northeast. I am somewhat worried that the brigade commanders of the East Point, who are full of enthusiasm and are bent on retaking the Northeast with their own hands, will be disappointed and have opinions about it.  And affect the enthusiasm and initiative of subsequent operations? "

    When Liu Tiehan said these words, his eyes flickered, as if he was deliberately avoiding Tang Qiuli's gaze. They had known each other for many years and treated each other with sincerity, from the white mountains and black waters of the Northeast, to the war-torn North China, to the verdant land of Southern Guangdong, all the way.  In the distant Indochina Peninsula, Liu Tiehan, who was more than ten years older, played more of a big brother and deputy role in front of Tang Qiuli, assuming half of the northern military for the independent division.

    A powerful person, the well-deserved second person in the independent division. His status is especially higher than that of Tang Qiuli's cousin Tang Qiusheng. He has many opportunities to build up his personal strength to be on par with Tang Qiuli, but he has never been able to.  He was firmly positioned to assist Tang Qiuli and was willing to hide behind Tang Qiuli's dazzling halo without any complaints. For Liu Tiehan, Tang Qiuli respected and trusted Liu Tiehan from the bottom of his heart.

    Having been close friends for many years, how could Tang Qiuli not understand the thoughts of this old brother? It is not so much the brigade commanders of the East Point Army who are upset because they failed to regain the entire Northeast with their own hands, but it is better to say that it is this old brother himself.  , he himself felt the most uncomfortable and unwilling.

    Of course, Tang Qiuli would not tell the truth. Everyone has their own self-esteem. He looked at Liu Tiehan, smiled gently, and said: "Brother Tiehan, regarding this matter, we are formulating a campaign plan for the Far East, Northeast and even the Korean Peninsula.  At that time, I also carefully considered it. From my original intention, I still believe that the East Point Force is the best choice to regain the Northeast. However, you have also seen that the situation in the Far East is constantly changing. Among them  There are a lot of uncertainties that led to the current situation.¡±

    Before Tang Qiuli could finish speaking, Liu Tiehan took over the topic and said, "That is, the current position of the East Pointer is the result of adjustments at any time according to changes in the battle situation. Division Commander, don't worry, some brigade commanders of the East Pointer  I will be responsible for the work, and I will ensure that there will be no mistakes. Isn¡¯t it the same as beating up the little devils there? Who has stipulated that the little devils in the Northeast should be attacked in the east? That¡¯s what I said, to remind you,  It seems that you are worrying too much!¡±

    Tang Qiuli smiled slyly, with a playful smile on his lips, and said: "Brother Tiehan, who stipulated that the East Point troops did not participate in the campaign to recapture the Northeast?"?A chance?  "
