    Having said this, Iimura Rang looked at Umezu Yoshijiro, whose expression changed unpredictably after hearing what he said, and gritted his teeth and said: "These ammunition are sufficient and the firepower is powerful. [., And judging from its current performance on the battlefield,  , Their various tactical trainings are obviously aimed at our combat characteristics. Before I find a way to effectively solve them, I suggest that what I need to do now is to hold on to the current defense line. "

    "The only forces you can use to maneuver now are the 9th Division and the 24th Division. The 29th Division is currently unable to continue fighting without major reinforcements. The 14th Division has lost its combat effectiveness.  . And once these two divisions are put into battle, we will not even have a reserve team at the moment unless we risk the 12th Division losing its response capabilities.

    "The deployment of these two divisions alone is far from enough at present. Judging from the current combat effectiveness and powerful equipment of this army, unless two to three divisions are invested, otherwise the current strength will be insufficient.  As two divisions, we have no chance of winning."

    "Once these two divisions fail again, we will face a situation where we have no troops to deploy. For the Kwantung Army and even the Empire of Japan, it has rich coal, iron, aluminum, magnesium and some oil shale resources and abundant food production.  Southern Manchuria is the real lifeline. As for Northern Manchuria, which is vast and sparsely populated, under the current situation, it is better for us to give up. At least until the external forces intervene in Manchuria, we cannot invest too many troops at once.  "

    "Your Excellency, Commander, this is the last suggestion I am giving you as the Chief of Staff of the Kwantung Army. Of course, if you like, you can also think of it as a piece of advice from one of your subordinates who is about to leave. Now it is time for us to carefully study our  It's time for this opponent.

    "Your Excellency, Commander, listen to my advice. What we should do most now is to shrink our troops instead of continuing to take risks. The Kwantung Army does not have much capital on hand to continue to gamble. You should also think about your retreat. Kwantung Army  If the army continues to suffer losses, even the Prime Minister will not be able to protect you."

    "This time, you have the frontline commander Namada Juichi out front to help you. So next time, it won't be as simple as withdrawing an army commander. Your Excellency, Commander, I have received a telegram from the base camp. The base camp  Shigeichi Hatada has been dismissed from his position as commander of the Fifth Army of the Kwantung Army.¡±

    "Your Excellency, Commander, many things cannot be solved by our wishful thinking, let alone by relying on the bravery and fearless spirit of the imperial soldiers. Whether it is you, me, or even the entire Kanto  Everyone in the army made a mistake, no matter how much we said we paid attention to it, we actually underestimated this opponent."

    "Your Majesty Commander, I have a suggestion for you, that is to wait. Now Germany has occupied almost all of Europe. Judging from its entire strategic deployment, the next step is probably to attack the Soviets. As the most hostile to Japan,  Man, it was only a matter of time before Hitler attacked the Soviet Union.¡±

    "And even if Hitler didn't want to attack the Soviet Union at all, he would attack the Soviet Union in order to seize oil from the Caucasus and wheat from Ukraine, the two most fundamental raw materials to support him in fighting the war. Without the oil support from the Soviet Union, he would  Those who cannot win those battles.¡±

    "Judging from the powerful combat effectiveness of the German army across Western Europe, once the Soviet-German war breaks out, the Soviets will definitely fall into a situation where they have nothing to do. Once the Soviets are defeated, the Anti-Japanese Alliance will lose all support. You know, what they call now  The Nationalist Government cannot and will not provide them with any support.¡±

    "At that time, when there is no source of military raw materials and they are unable to produce the ammunition they need, I wonder what else they can use to fight the Kwantung Army. Without the replenishment of oil, their cars, tanks and new fighter jets will probably be a pile of scraps.  So, I hope you can wait for a while.¡±

    "Your Excellency, Commander, please believe in my judgment. The Soviet-German war will inevitably break out within a year at the latest. By then they have lost foreign aid, and I am afraid they will not be able to rely on the vast territory of China to form a deep front in the Guanhai battlefield.  of the National Government.¡±

    "Commander, I have always admired your strategic vision, but I hope you can still take a broader view this time. The most important thing is to get rid of the contempt for the Chinese people that comes from your bones. Even within the pass,  They are almost scattered, but they are extremely united in Manchuria."

    "Especially now, the anti-Manchu armed forces are no longer what they used to be. They have a huge number of modern weapons such as tanks, heavy artillery, and aircraft. In addition, most areas in Longjiang Province have flat terrain. Under this terrain  , facing an army equipped with modern weapons and equipment such as aircraft, heavy artillery and tanks, Your Excellency, Commander, we must be careful to make the same mistake as Commander Ueda Kenkichi?The mistake in the Battle of Nomonhan.  "

    "And judging from the current situation, the opponent we are facing now is more tenacious and more cunning than the Soviets. I think you should understand the character of Lieutenant General Suzuki Teiichi and Lieutenant General Kiichiro Guchi. They are not cowards.  People. One was defeated in two days, and the other not only failed to take Shuangcheng County as planned, but also proposed to stop the attack. Is there no other reason for this? "

    "I read the battle report of the Ninth Division. Within three days, the Ninth Division actually suffered more than 5,000 casualties. This is unmatched by any battle on the battlefield in Guan Nei. According to this casualty rate, the Ninth Division actually suffered more than 5,000 casualties.  Even if the division captures Shuangcheng, it will no longer have the strength to continue attacking Harbin."

    These words of Lieutenant General Iimura Rang made Umezu Yoshijiro fall into deep thought.  Although he hasn't nodded yet, the look on his face is much better.  Looking at Umezu Yoshijiro's slightly relaxed but still tense face, Iimura Rang knew that the proud commander of the Kwantung Army had been persuaded by him.  The only difference is that there is still some unwillingness in my heart.

    But having said that, it is indeed difficult for a proud person to admit that he was defeated by an opponent he had always looked down on.  This proud head is not so easy to humble.  In particular, this involves some quite critical and hidden issues.  For example, the newly formed Kwantung Army Epidemic Prevention and Water Supply Department, Sun Wu Fortress and some secret fortifications and warehouses in Heihe cannot be abandoned without a certain amount of courage.

    After being silent for a long time, Umezu Yoshijiro looked at Iimura Sancai, who had a solemn expression in front of him. There had been no change during this period of silence, and said: "Iimura-kun said that, he must have a certain plan in mind. If Iimura-kun said it, he must have a certain plan in mind."  Ideas, what should we do next?¡±

    "It was human sperm after all. Umezu Yoshijiro, who woke up from his anger, immediately guessed that the chief of staff in front of him, who was always known for his strategy, must have had a certain amount of calculation in his mind to be able to say such things today.  There is even a complete plan in place.

    In response to Umezu Yoshijiro's inquiry, Iimura Rang said without hesitation: "The only way for the Kwantung Army now is to attack from the south and withdraw from the north. The attack of the Ninth Division not only cannot be stopped, but must be strengthened. However, in order to ensure that the Ninth Division  To ensure the safety of the division, the 24th Division will continue to move north as planned, spreading out on both sides of the Ninth Division to protect the flanks of the Ninth Division to prevent the opponent from moving south. "

    "The 51st Division mobilized part of its troops to cooperate with the Independent Fourth Garrison and dispersed them to several mixed brigades in the Manchukuo Third Military Area to supervise operations. The Manchurian Army mainly strengthened the Independent Fourth Garrison, and sent troops to Taikang and Lin  Dian launched a counterattack, and at the same time used the main force of the 51st Division to defend Qiqihar, attracting all the attention of the enemy in front of it, and ensuring the smooth progress of the retreat of the First Division. "

    "At the same time, the First Division abandoned the Sun Wu Shengshan Fortress Group, as well as all exposed fortifications and the Sun Wu Arsenal. Moved all inventory materials to secret warehouses, and destroyed all secret warehouses and information on the fortification groups. And killed all  After the labor, retreat at full speed to the west."

    "In order to evacuate as quickly as possible, the First Division must throw away all the baggage that cannot be carried and only carry food and necessary light weapons and ammunition. Lightly pack through the Yilhuri Mountains and enter Xing'an East via Huma  The Bayan Banner of the province arrived at the Hailar line. At the same time, the troops stationed on the Hailar line were ordered to dispatch no less than one regiment to enter the Bayan Banner to support the First Division. "

    "But I think that when the First Division retreats, it is best to divide the troops into two groups. The troops that are divided to the west of Sun Wu will take the land route. They will take the Ilehuri Mountain as I told them and retreat to Bayan Banner. This way  You can use the forest railways built by the empire. Although you have to go through hundreds of kilometers of forest areas, there are forest railways that can be used on many routes. "

    "At the same time, the troops divided between Sunwu and Qike and Xunke counties can take the water route upstream along the Heilongjiang River. After arriving in Mohe, they can go ashore and then transfer to Hailar to join the rest of the First Division. In this way  , which can bypass the blockade of the so-called first column that has entered Aihui territory and minimize the casualties of the first division. "

    Having said this, Iimura Rang looked at Umezu Meijiro's expression after hearing what he said. He hesitated for a moment and then said: "In order to maintain strict confidentiality during the retreat, I suggest that the security of the Sun Wu territory has not been completely cleared yet."  Don¡¯t blow up the completed Shengshan Fortress Group.¡±

    "First, the amount of explosives required to completely blow up this fortress is too much. It was very difficult to collect so much explosives in Sun Wu territory. Second, the huge explosions can easily reveal our intentions. Third, this fortress group is exposed to  There are not many fortifications outside, and most of them are still hidden in the mountains. As long as we do a good job of concealment, it is unlikely that we will be able to find this anti-Manchu army even if it captures Sun Wu."

    ¡°As for the rest of the secret warehouses and secret militaryFactory, just kill the workers and all Manchurians, Koreans, and Russians who know about it, and protect the secrets from being leaked.  As for the others, there is no need to destroy them, because the locations of these warehouses are known only to the Kwantung Army and not to the local people except for the laborers.  .  "

    "The locations of these secret warehouses are extremely hidden. Even if Heihe fell into the hands of the so-called resistance alliance, they would not be able to find it without a detailed map. Moreover, the supplies in these warehouses have just begun to be stocked, and the quantities are not too large. Even if  Our temporary abandonment will not affect the Kwantung Army's combat readiness."
