    Takujiro Hattori asked him to expand the cavalry regiment's search range by 50 kilometers, but Toji Yasui didn't really buy it. What if the opponent just detoured to his flank?  I'm not that stupid idiot who let others cripple an entire regiment as soon as I came up.  [.Com text] A strong attack on General Shixian, and a regiment was beaten to a semi-crippling state.  Another regiment was dragged into the swamp and half starved to death.

    When the opponent adopted roundabout tactics and launched a counterattack across the board, the 24th Division, which had strengthened a regiment, was left with only the 14th Division to support the overall situation.  His own command headquarters was immediately taken over by others, causing the remaining defeated soldiers to lose unified command and could only fight independently and let others defeat them one by one.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUTOUTOUT  If you let the Second Cavalry Regiment go fifty kilometers, if something goes wrong with the Second Cavalry Regiment, wouldn't you not even have a chance to rescue it?

    Seeing the uncertain expression on Toji Yasui's face even though he did not express his direct rejection, Hattori Takushiro, who understood that Lieutenant General Yasui did not agree with his idea, frowned and said: "Lieutenant General Yasui, don't you think it's useful?"  There may be dangers in a cavalry regiment. Is it very challenging to verify whether the opponents are currently fighting independently or whether there is still a unified command situation? "

    "Your Excellency Yasui, as the Harbin garrison commander when these people broke out from the Ministry of Epidemic Prevention and Water Supply last year, you should not be ignorant of the emperor's urgency to eliminate these people as soon as possible. If the intelligence provided by the Kwantung Army's intelligence department is true, the opponent's supreme commander  Having lost the ability to command, wouldn't your second division be able to take the opportunity to defeat them one by one and achieve this unparalleled feat for His Majesty the Emperor?"

    "Are you just watching a good fighter plane slip away in your hands because you are unwilling to let your cavalry regiment take risks that may not exist? Aren't you worried that the emperor and the Tokyo base camp will pursue you for delaying the fighter plane afterwards?  I heard that the Tokyo Headquarters has decided to remove Lieutenant General Ogisu Tatehei from the position of commander of the Sixth Army, and you, Lieutenant General Yasui, are the first choice to succeed the commander of this army."

    Since Hattori Takushiro dared to plan with several staff members of the Kwantung Army Staff Headquarters to expand the conflict in Nomonhan and push the 23rd Division of the Kwantung Army into a fire pit, he naturally would not care about the dignity of a lieutenant general division commander.  He said these words very tactfully, but his tone was only 30% persuasive and 70% threatening.

    ¡°Tš­ji Yasui heard the meaning of Hattori Takushiro¡¯s words.  Fujiji Yasui was extremely dissatisfied that the staff officer in front of him, who had the rank of just a lieutenant colonel, dared to threaten a lieutenant general.  But he knew that although this guy's military rank was only a lieutenant, his position was only a staff officer.  However, his network of contacts is very wide and deep, and he is highly regarded by General Umezu Yoshijiro.

    Otherwise, General Umezu Yoshijiro would not have left aside Geno Nakayama, who succeeded him as the Chief Operations Staff Officer of the Kwantung Army, withheld the transfer order for this guy from the Tokyo Base Camp, and continued to retain him in such an important position as the Chief Operations Staff Officer of the Kwantung Army.  superior.

    ¡°As long as this guy says something bad about himself in front of General Umezu Yoshijiro before he is promoted, and changes General Umezu Yoshijiro¡¯s impression of him, then he will really cause himself a lot of trouble.  If General Umezu Yoshijiro firmly opposes it, the position of army commander he has already obtained is likely to become a duck that flies away after being cooked.

    After hesitating for a long time, Anjing Toji finally could not resist the temptation of being promoted to general and nodded slightly.  Reluctantly agreed to this guy's suggestion to expand the cavalry wing's search distance to fifty kilometers.

    Seeing Ani Toji nod, Hattori Takushiro breathed a sigh of relief.  He was really worried that this guy was as stubborn as Lieutenant General Sawada Shigeru, the commander of the Fourth Division, and he didn't know how to praise.  No matter how much he coerces and induces, he just refuses to send troops without permission without a written order from the Kwantung Army Headquarters.

    Of course, Hattori Takushiro, who is familiar with the personalities of these Osaka soldiers of the Fourth Division, will never let these Osaka soldiers go to the front line. Not only will they not be helpers, but they will involve others.  After the battle at Qunce Mountain, the fate of the 33rd Regiment of the 11th Division that was miserably deceived has proved with living facts that partnering with the Osaka soldiers is definitely not a good thing.

    According to Hattori Takushiro's plan, the Fourth Division's dispatch of troops was just a bluff, used to attract the enemy's attention and distract the opponent's attention.  To really let the Fourth Division go to the front line to charge and kill, Takushiro Hattori is not that stupid.  There is no such thing as losing one's mind.

    Looking at the habitual sinister smile on Hattori Takushiro's face after he nodded, Yasui Toji smiled slightly.He took a breath and secretly admired the courage of General Umezu Yoshijiro.  General Umezu Yoshijiro actually dared to use this audacious man to continue to serve as the chief combat staff of the Kwantung Army.  He even secretly competed with the Tokyo General Staff Headquarters and forced his successor to sit aside to enjoy the northwest wind.

    General Yoshijiro Umezu only saw that his predecessor, General Kenkichi Ueda, was unlucky.  First, a powerful anti-Manchu and anti-Japanese force suddenly emerged in Manchuria. The emperor and the army's epidemic prevention and water supply department made everyone take the blame.  The Kwantung Army's largest secret warehouse in Manchuria, where large amounts of supplies were stored in preparation for the Japanese-Soviet war one day, was also lost.

    Then, regardless of his own strength, he provoked a conflict between Japan and the Soviet Union in Nomonhan without authorization, and insisted on coming to find trouble.  As a result, he received a heavy beating and his face was swollen.  These two major events that happened one after another caused General Ueda Kenkichi to finally step down.

    But they don¡¯t know that in fact at least half of the trouble behind all this is caused by two people.  One is the resolute northern marcher who has always advocated the expansion of the war against the Soviet Union.  Lieutenant Colonel Hattori Takushiro, Chief of the Operations Staff of the Kwantung Army, got into trouble in Nomenhan but did not clean up his ass, causing the commander and chief of staff of the Kwantung Army to take the blame for him.

    The other one was the senior combat staff officer of the Kwantung Army, who was later known as the scourge of senior officers of the Japanese army.  After the defeat in the Battle of Nomonhan, he was kicked out by General Umezu Yoshijiro to serve as a member of the 11th Army Headquarters. He was known as Masanobu who was so bold that he could poke a hole in the sky.

    One of these two people is the chief combat staff officer of the Kwantung Army. Most of the Kwantung Army's plans to suppress the anti-Manchu armed forces that it is now confronting came from his hands.  As a result, several encirclement and suppression campaigns failed, General Ueda Kenkichi was unlucky, and his half-life honor was ruined.

    Another one, regardless of his position as a senior combat staff officer of the Kwantung Army, boldly issued the "Outline for Handling the Manchu-Soviet Border" behind the Kwantung Army's headquarters, single-handedly provoked, and insisted on expanding the Nomon Han  battle.

    It can be said that General Ueda Kenkichi is unlucky because of these two people.  As a result, the Battle of Nomenhan was only half fought and he was forced to resign.  And these two guys have nothing to do with it.  One was just transferred to the Eleventh Army in the Kannai-China battlefield as a member of the headquarters, and the other was even regarded as a right-hand man by the successor General Yoshijiro Umezu.

    This ending makes Fujiji Yasui, an old man of the Kwantung Army, very clear about the whole incident, feel sad?  But can the guy in front of him, who was highly regarded by the two commanders of the Kwantung Army, accomplish and achieve the results that General Umezu Yoshijiro wanted?  No matter how Anjing Toji looked at it, he thought it was impossible.

    Although he reluctantly agreed to this guy's request, Lieutenant General Ani Fujiji was secretly wary of this brazen guy.  Lieutenant General Toharu Yasui, who is about to be promoted and has a bright future, does not want to make the same mistake as Taro Komatsubara, who was almost half-dead by these two guys.

    Hattori Takushiro doesn¡¯t care about Ani Toji¡¯s attitude.  In his opinion, as long as he achieves his goal, it doesn't matter whether the executor is willing or not.  The key is that as long as your purpose is achieved.

    However, the search results of the Second Cavalry Regiment disappointed him. After three days of searching, there was not even a ghost within fifty kilometers of the surrounding area.  Nothing was found.  On the contrary, after several days of tossing and patrolling within a fifty-kilometer radius around the main force of the division all day and night, the Second Cavalry Regiment couldn't stand it anymore.

    Although fifty kilometers is only a distance that a car can run for an hour, it is very physically demanding for a war horse.  What's more, this fifty kilometers is only a straight-line distance, but the terrain is not set according to straight-line distance.  After a few days, the Second Cavalry Regiment was suffering from shortage of men and horses, and there were many complaints.  Not only people can't stand it, but even war horses can't stand it.

    Three days later, regardless of whether Hattori Takushiro was willing or not, Yasui Toji faced the fact that the 2nd Cavalry Regiment was almost exhausted and decisively ordered to terminate this move that he considered futile.

    ¡°Tš­ji Yasui not only terminated the 50-kilometer search distance of the Second Cavalry Regiment, but also compressed the original 30 kilometers to 20 kilometers in a straight line.  To restore the vitality of the 2nd Cavalry Regiment as quickly as possible.  As for whether Hattori Takushiro was happy or not, he, Toji Ani, couldn't care less.

    After learning that Yasui Toji had terminated his request that he had reluctantly agreed to before, Hattori Takushiro, who was half-infuriated, hated him to death and even had a big quarrel with Yasui Toji, but it could not change the reality.

    Anjing Toji, who was also very angry at his almost rude attitude, coldly said, "I am the commander of the second division."  How the Second Division fights? It¡¯s not your turn yet.After the words of a retired chief combat staff officer of the Kwantung Army, he stopped paying attention to him.

    After Toji Yasui refused to consult with him, the de facto imperial envoy who held the Sword of Shokata awarded by General Umezu Yoshijiro, the commander of the Kwantung Army, he terminated the plan he proposed. Hattori Takushiro, who was very angry, could only point at Yasui Toji's nose.  Apart from scolding him for his short-sightedness, there was nothing he could do about it. After all, he was the majestic lieutenant general in charge of the division, and he was just a small lieutenant general.

    ????????????????? Angry, but everyone in the Second Division, including Anjing Fujiji and everyone else, has to admire this guy for being thick-skinned.  Although after the quarrel, the attitude of the entire Second Division, including Toji Yasui, towards his superior was not good, and could even be said to be politely indifferent, this guy just refused to move and stayed in the Second Division.  The whole department refused to leave.

    Although Toji Yasui terminated Hattori Takushiro's plan, it did not mean that he gave up on frontal attacks.  Even during the most intense quarrel between him and Hattori Takushiro, his frontal attack did not relax even a little bit.  Even the intensity of the attack continued to increase as the war progressed.

    The performance of the Second Division under him was also strong enough. Its skilled techniques and tactics under the cover of ground and air firepower, its extremely skilled infantry and artillery combined tactics, and even its excellent individual combat qualities brought Liu Changshun a great influence.  Increasing pressure and casualties.

    Facing the rising number of casualties, after three days of resistance, Liu Changshun could no longer sit still.  If this casualty figure continues, within a few days his second brigade will be reduced to ashes of casualties.

    After another request for reinforcements or withdrawal of reinforcements was rejected by Guo Bingxun, Liu Changshun and Wang Xiaoming were speechless in the second brigade headquarters, smoking cigarettes in frustration.  Ma Chunsheng, chief of staff of the Second Brigade, was still supervising the battle at the front line and had not returned yet. Liu Changshun and Wang Xiaoming were the only two people left in the headquarters.

    After a long silence, Liu Changshun stood up and dusted himself away from the dust kicked up by the Japanese shells that hit his headquarters, and said to Wang Xiaoming, who was obviously bored: "Old Wang, what do you think the political commissar and chief of staff think?  Even if we are not allowed to retreat, we are not allowed to send reinforcements up, so we are allowed to fight hard in this Mapingchuan area."

    "If the fight continues like this, our Second Brigade will be exhausted in less than two days. Doesn't he know that the Japanese army we are facing is not a regiment, let alone a brigade, but an entire division and four regiments.  We are at an absolute disadvantage regardless of our military strength or firepower.¡±

    "Listen to the bombs and artillery shells falling on our heads. They haven't stopped since the Japanese army launched their attack. It's almost dusk now. On this day, it's enough to have bombs falling around our headquarters, which is relatively well-concealed.  There are more than a hundred rounds, shouldn¡¯t there be more in this forward position?¡±

    "There are no mountains here, and there are no natural barriers except for this hill. When Wang Guangyu blocked the 24th Division here a few days ago, didn't he withdraw with a false shot? Why?  Do we have to fight hard here? When the commander was here, we never fought such a suffocating battle."
