Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After nearly a year of careful planning, during which several changes occurred, the current battlefield pattern in the Northeast has been fixed, and the necessary conditions are in place to fully recover the Northeast. After establishing two regional combat headquarters, the independent division commander Tang Qiuli  , and issued a combat pre-order to all participating troops, "All participating troops in the Northeast battlefield will use a week to rest and recuperate on the battlefield, replenish ammunition and supplies, adjust troop deployment, and attack the surrounded Kwantung Army in the western Liaoning and Western Manchuria areas."  The army's general attack will officially begin at 4:00 a.m. on August 15th!"

    Another new day has arrived. In the Eastern Mongolia region in mid-August, it is the season of crisp autumn air, fat grass and strong horses. The ancients believed that this is a season conducive to war. Tang Qiuli was in Kailu County, where the North China Field Corps stayed  , after eating his last breakfast, today, he will leave here with his three wives and all members of the division headquarters, rush to Jinzhou in western Liaoning, and go to the front line to command operations in person.

    When I first arrived in Kailu, it was still early spring. On the edge of the Horqin Sandy Land in eastern Mongolia, there were only shallow grass without horse hooves. The spring breeze at night still carried a bit of chill from the Mongolian plateau. When I left, the sky was already clear and the sky was clear.  In the mid-autumn season, the grass can reach up to the knees. I have lived in this small county town for several months. If I say that I don¡¯t have the slightest nostalgia, I would be deceiving myself.

    Tang Qiu was a sweet-tempered person, so he would naturally miss the good times he spent in Kailu for a few months. He felt a sense of loss in his heart. After breakfast, the three women, Mei Ting, Mei Xue and Liu Xinlan, were busy packing their things.  , Tang Qiuli couldn't get in, so he stood aside and admired the slender, plump, or toned figures of the three wives, with their ups and downs of movements.  Her graceful figure was swaying like a flower, with her hand on her chin, she kept praising her loudly.

    The three women, Mei Ting and Mei Xue, have become accustomed to their husbands' aggressive, pig-like expressions.  She had experienced people for a long time, so she didn't care, but Liu Xinlan was still a young girl. After receiving Tang Qiuli's eyes, she quietly touched Mei Xue's arm and whispered: "Sister Xue, look. His eyes are so fast.  It fell to the ground!"

    Mei Xue was so happy that she lay next to Liu Xinlan's ear and whispered softly: "Xinlan, you will get used to it sooner or later, why? I haven't been given to this guy yet Okay, sister admires you!"  "Mei Xue didn't say the following words. Liu Xinlan's face was already rosy, her face was burning, and she glared at Mei Xue angrily, "Sister Xue, you know how to bully me!"

    Mei Xue and Liu Xinlan murmured and let out bursts of sweet laughter. However, Mei Ting saw the different emotions in Tang Qiuli's eyes, so she put down her work, walked up to him, and tidied him up carefully.  Wearing military uniforms, he said: "Why, as soon as I left Kailu, what was there that I couldn't bear to part with? Isn't that what I'm used to? We are all at home!"

    Tang Qiuli stretched out his arm, hugged Mei Ting's slender waist, and said very seriously: "I can't bear to part with it. The most reluctant thing is Kailu's hand-made mutton. After arriving in Jinzhou, where can I eat such authentic prairie mutton?"  Ah, what a big loss for me!¡±

    Mei Ting was so happy that she bent over. Mei Xue turned around, glared at her husband, wrinkled her cute little nose, and said, "Huh! You are just a foodie. It's not easy to eat mutton. Master Tang!"  Just give the order and send a plane back and forth!"

    Tang Qiuli was speechless, and the three women burst into laughter. At this time, Shanhu shouted outside the door: "Xiaoqiu, have you packed up? Everyone is waiting for you to go to the airport!"

    Tang Qiuli took one last look at the room where he had lived for several months, and then left with his three wives. Dozens of cars quickly drove into the Kailu Field Airport. Ten minutes later, four transport planes arrived  Escorted by a squadron of fighter jets, they left Kailu Field Airport and flew to Jinzhou. Looking through the porthole of the transport plane, the autumn grasslands in eastern Mongolia looked like a green ink painting, dotted with colorful wildflowers.  , stretching to the distant sky.

    Tang Qiuli, the commander of the independent division, left Kailu in eastern Mongolia and rushed to the northeastern front line of Jinzhou with nostalgia. Lieutenant General Matsuda Kenjiro, the chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, left Xinjing and returned to the Kwantung Army headquarters in Fengtian with panic and full of fear.  A feeling of helpless failure.

    While in Xinjing, Chief of General Matsuda received a telegram from the Military and Administrative Department of the base camp, informing him that General Nanjiro would once again serve as the Commander-in-Chief of the Kwantung Army, and that he would act as Commander-in-Chief until General Nanjiro took up the post.  .

    After receiving the telegram from the base camp, Lieutenant General Matsuda breathed a complete sigh of relief. He knew that his ability was not enough to take on such an important task. During the period when General Umezu Yoshijiro's whereabouts were unknown, the independent division troops had not yet launched a large-scale attack.  I was already exhausted and struggling to cope, but now I'm fine. The old officer is in danger again and I can finally get rid of this unfortunate job!

    Lieutenant General Matsuda is very convinced of his bossThis confidence comes from the skills he has learned through many years of working together. However, his heart is full of worries about General Nanjiro once again taking over the post of commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army.  , The current situation in Manchuria has reached an irreversible level. Even if General Nanjiro has great talents and political skills, he may not be able to reverse the overall situation.

    At least in the mind of Lieutenant General Matsuda, he believed that the Japanese Empire had been completely defeated in Manchuria. He could not understand that with the political wisdom and insight of the old officer Nanjiro, he could not see that the situation in Manchuria was already precarious and the ship was about to sink.  , Why did you come to Manchuria and wade through this muddy water under such circumstances? Does the old chief believe that he can change the situation in Manchuria with his own abilities?  Defeat the troops of that Chinese devil Tang Qiuli?

    Impossible, Chief of Staff Matsuda shook his head and sighed. No matter the famous general in the empire, they are powerless to remedy the situation in Manchuria, not even the old commander. If Chief of Staff Matsuda knew, General Nanjiro would definitely have no choice but to take over the mess in Manchuria.  Insider, he won't have these doubts!

    There is another thing that Chief of Staff Matsuda does not understand, let alone understand. In the telegram from the base camp, it only said that Nanjiro was about to take up the post of commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, but there was no word about the current commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, General Umezu Yoshijiro.  It was not mentioned, and he was not clearly relieved of his duties. Isn't that vague? Although General Umezu's whereabouts are unknown, as long as there is no news that he was captured or died in battle for a day, then General Umezu may survive!

    "I wonder what those bastards from the Intelligence Headquarters are doing these days? They haven't even gotten any news about General Umezu!" Thinking of this incident, Lieutenant General Matsuda sighed again. More than once, he compared General Umezu with himself.  Compared with the old commander, General Nanjiro, the more they compared, the more they discovered that it was definitely a wrong decision for the base camp to send Umezu Yoshijiro as the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army. It was General Umezu's series of willful decisions that directly led to the current crisis in Manchuria!

    "Perhaps, after the old officer arrives in Manchuria, I can rely on his political wisdom and superb skills to escape from Manchuria, right? I won't be buried in a foreign land!" Lieutenant General Matsuda was full of thoughts, and passed by Dazhou in the evening.  After midnight and a day of hurrying, we finally arrived at Fengtian. Fortunately, the journey was safe. The tentacles of the independent division had not yet reached the area between Fengtian and Xingjing.

    This is due to the fact that the guard captain of the Kwantung Army headquarters tried his best to avoid dangerous areas and did not hesitate to walk more than ten hours. Otherwise, the road back to Fengtian would have passed through the Kwantung Army's Western Manchurian Assault Corps, with more than 80,000 soldiers.  Chief of Staff Matsuda did not take a plane on the battlefield where people defected. He knew that the sky in Manchuria did not belong to the Japanese Empire. His plane could be beaten into a ball of fire by fighter jets from the Independent Division at any time!

    After arriving in Fengtian, it was completely dark. The dim street lights shone on the bumpy road. There were only a few pedestrians on the street. Even the brothels and restaurants that were usually crowded with people were deserted. From time to time, I saw sun flags.  , fluttering feebly for a few times in the evening breeze of the city, and then remaining dejectedly motionless. All this shows that Fengtian, the largest city in Manchuria and the center of the empire's rule in the Northeast, is already in a dying and precarious state of extinction.  middle!

    What he saw on Fengtian Street made Chief of Staff Matsuda, who was already in a bad mood, feel even more gloomy without a trace of light. The road was bumpy for more than a day. In order to avoid dangerous areas, he took remote mountain roads.  His body was not broken to pieces!

    Originally, he should have returned to the official residence and had a good night's rest. However, Chief of Staff Matsuda knew that there were countless things and telegrams waiting for him to deal with in the Kwantung Army headquarters at this moment. Of course, none of them were good!

    Therefore, when the guard captain asked for instructions whether to return to the official residence first, Chief of Staff Matsuda shook his head and said: "No, go directly back to the headquarters!"

    Lieutenant General Matsuda, who was dying of fatigue, dragged his aching body and staggered up the long steps of the Kwantung Army headquarters building. Before he could enter the door, he saw an officer with the rank of colonel hanging at the door of the headquarters, stretching out his arms.  Long Neck looked around and saw Lieutenant General Matsuda, surrounded by guards and staff, appearing at the entrance of the headquarters. The colonel officer rushed towards him as if he were seeing a relative.

    This colonel officer, named Ushio Inada, is the director of the Operations Division of the Kwantung Army Headquarters and one of the confidants of Chief of Staff Matsuda. However, his excitement made Chief Matsuda baffled. At the same time, he felt very dissatisfied. No matter what  Under any circumstances, officers of the Empire of Japan should have a demeanor, and they should remain calm even if the mountain collapses in front of them. What does this mean?

    So, Chief of Staff Matsuda waited for Colonel Ushio to arrive and asked displeasedly: "Ushio-kun, what's the big deal? How can you be so flustered?"??
