    Although he knew that Commander Umezu Yoshijiro would find it difficult to accept his opinion, Kimura Hyoutarou believed that some things must be given up if they should be given up.  Under the current situation, if you blindly seek perfection, whether it is this or that, you will only gain more than you lose.

    Different from the greedy style of ordinary Japanese island residents who would rather die than let go of something once they get it in their hands, this person at this time is actually very greedy, and he took office  However, Lieutenant General Kimura Hy身taro, who had made a lot of money in just a few months, seemed extremely calm.

    In his opinion, putting an entire division in danger for the sake of a fortress group that no longer has much use is really not worth the gain.  After all, for the current Kwantung Army, a division is much more important than a fortress group.  After all, no matter how strong the fortress is, it still needs troops to defend it.  If all the troops are gone, won*t those fortresses still belong to others sooner or later?

    And the 23rd Division, after the Battle of Nomenhan, organized a large number of tanks and heavy artillery units in order to confront the highly mechanized Soviet army.  It is currently the most well-equipped division of the Kwantung Army. It is also the division with the most complete technical weapons and equipment after the last battle among the various divisions of the Kwantung Army.

    Once the 23rd Division is lost, it will mean a huge loss for the Kwantung Army.  Especially the 23rd Division, which currently has the entire Kwantung Army's chariot units that survived after the last battle, is even more valuable to the Kwantung Army.

    And Lieutenant General Kimura Hy身taro can even use his own head to guarantee that no matter when the next battle starts and who takes the initiative to attack, the 23rd Division will definitely be the primary target of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, and it will definitely be its mobilization target.  The highest priority target for siege with superior forces.

    "If we don't capture the 23rd Division or force it to withdraw south, a large number of the Anti-Japanese Alliance troops will be pinned down on the western front and unable to move.  Moreover, its so-called base area and the entire western front are also under threat from the Kwantung Army at any time.  This is something no commander wants to see.

    Therefore, in Kimura Hy身taro's view, once the war starts, the Anti-Japanese Alliance will inevitably concentrate its most advantageous troops and the most powerful firepower to deal with the 23rd Division.  Get in touch with your worries as soon as possible.  Because for the Anti-Japanese Alliance, as long as the 23rd Division is still deployed in Hailar for one day, they will not be able to go south with all their strength.

    And the current location of the 23rd Division has only one extremely unsafe transportation line connecting it to other divisions of the Kwantung Army.  It was destined that once the division was besieged by superior forces, it would be forced to fight alone.  Without the support of neighboring troops, it would be difficult for the 23rd Division alone to survive the siege of the opponent's superior force whose combat effectiveness has been proven.

    ?For one I haven*t used it yet, and I don*t even know when it will be used.  The key is that all firepower points are facing the west. Now they are in a group of fortresses that care about their heads but not their butts. To put a well-equipped division in, this is unacceptable to Lieutenant General Kimura Hyoutarou no matter what.

    After thinking about it, Kimura Hy身taro bowed and said: "Your Excellency Commander, in fact, after the Hailar fortress group was lost in Heihe, it has basically become of little use. As the Kwantung Army, among the many fortress groups on the Manchu-Soviet border,  The westernmost fortress group cannot serve as a complete defensive posture without the support of other fortress groups.§

    "Furthermore, the Hailar Fortress Group was built for the purpose of fighting the Soviet Union. The main fire control area faces the western Manchu-Soviet border. There are almost no cover points behind it and firepower points backward. In other fortress groups, especially Longjiang  After the province was lost, this fortress group has actually become a useless piece of food and a pity to abandon.§

    "The most fundamental thing is that under the extremely difficult situation of material supply for the 23rd Division, the 23rd Division, which is short of food and ammunition, cannot defend this fortress group at all even if it wants to. It can only lose in vain.  Currently, they are extremely valuable troops and equipment for the Kwantung Army.§

    "For a fortress group that no longer has much use, we cannot accept it anyway. If the division commander is worried that this fortress group will fall into the hands of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, I think we can temporarily blow up all the entrances and exits.  , kill all the workers, and temporarily seal off the entire fortress group."

    "The Hylar Fortress Group itself is built in the mountains. The location is densely covered with vegetation and has excellent concealment. And due to the empire's strict confidentiality, it is impossible for the Chinese to know the location of these fortress groups. Even if the Chinese know it  There is this fortress group, but it is impossible to find it.§

    "As long as we kill all the workers and destroy all traces on the ground, I think this fortress group will not be exposed easily. When we reoccupy Hung Yen Bac Province, we can do it at any time"?can be reactivated.  If so, you also worry about whether the fortress will be exposed.  I think if necessary, we can even kill all the local Manchu residents in Hyrule.  "

    Kimura Hy身taro*s suggestion still made Umezu Yoshijiro extremely hesitant.  In order to build these fortresses, the Kwantung Army invested a huge amount of manpower, material resources, and financial resources that were extremely valuable to the Japanese Empire.  After nearly ten years of painstaking efforts, these fortress groups were built along the Manchurian-Soviet border with both offensive and defensive capabilities.

    At the end of last year*s battle, the Hunchun fortress group was damaged beyond repair.  With the Hutou Fortress and Dongning Fortress, as well as all the fortress groups in Sun Wu territory, being lost, the Hailar fortress group has almost become the only remaining fortress group of the Japanese army.

    Now that this remaining fortress group has not fired a single shot, it was easily given up. For the Kwantung Army, the blow was no less severe than last year's defeat.  It is also difficult to communicate with the emperor.  The Kwantung Army used so much financial resources to build the fortress group when Japan's financial resources were still quite limited. Could it be that all of them were lost like this?

    As if he was specifically trying to help the hesitant Umezu Meijiro make up his mind, just when he was still hesitating, there were faint bursts of violent explosions outside the window, killing him and Kimura Hyoutarou next to him.  Stay for a while?  After the two top commanders of the Kwantung Army looked at each other, they both saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

    Where is Xinjing? It is the capital of Manchukuo created by the Kwantung Army. It is also the location of the Kwantung Army*s headquarters.  Just around Xinjing, an entire division was stationed.  Moreover, the density of military and police officers is almost the highest in Manchukuo.  The security here is definitely extremely tight.

    After the defeat of the Kwantung Army last year, in order to ensure that there would be no chain reaction in Xinjing.  The Kwantung Army Military Police Headquarters specially strengthened the alert in Xinjing.  Not only from Fengtian but also from other places, a large number of Japanese and Korean military and police officers were recruited.  It was also specifically ordered that all Manchurians, including Manchurian military and police personnel, who carry guns on their bodies will be shot to death as soon as they are discovered.

    With such tight security, both Umezu Yoshijiro and Kimura Hyoutarou believe that it is absolutely impossible for a small group of enemy troops to infiltrate.  The main force of the Anti-Japanese Alliance is still far north of the Songhua River, and the Kwantung Army still has several divisions deployed at the front.  If the Anti-Japanese Alliance were to attack Xinjing, the Kwantung Army headquarters would still know nothing about it.  Then both of us should commit seppuku to His Majesty the Emperor.

    It is absolutely impossible for the Anti-Japanese Alliance to fight over, both of them can be sure of this.  What happened to these dense and violent explosions?  Could it be that the agents of the Anti-Japanese Alliance detonated the ammunition depots around Xinjing?  Thinking of this, Umezu Meijiro walked to the window in a few steps and pushed the window open.  But he saw that in the south of Xinjing, a fire was burning into the sky.

    When he saw the location of the bombing, he was suddenly startled for no reason.  As the commander of the Kwantung Army, he knew exactly what kind of army was stationed in the southern part of Xinjing.  If there really was an air raid there, the consequences would be unimaginable.

    Kimura Hy身taro didn*t care whether he would lose his composure in front of the commander. He rushed to the phone on Umezu Meijiro*s desk, grabbed the phone and called like crazy, trying to find out what happened with the explosion.  Fortunately, the reaction speed of his subordinates did not disappoint him, and the cause of the violent explosion was soon found out.  But when Hy身taro Kimura heard the cause and location of the explosion, he was so shocked that he didn't even know he dropped the phone in his hand.

    Looking at Hy身taro Kimura who was shocked and stunned, Mijiro Umezu who turned around when the phone dropped on the table was a little flustered for no reason.  But he still couldn't help but frowned and said: "Kimura-kun, what do you think you look like now?"

    "You are a lieutenant general of the Imperial Japanese Army, not those generals in China who don't care if they lose the war. You should understand what the general demeanor of an imperial army general should be. No matter what happens, you must be calm. Otherwise, you still have to be calm.  How to command the loyal and brave soldiers of the empire and continue to conquer the world for the emperor? "

    After hearing Umezu Yoshijiro's reprimand, Kimura Hy身taro couldn't help but smile bitterly after hanging up the phone: "I'm sorry, Sir, I've lost my temper. Please forgive me, Commander. It's just that this matter is too sudden. We simply can't help it."  I didn*t expect this to happen.§

    "Just now, the Anti-Japanese Alliance suddenly dispatched a group of hundreds of bombers, carrying a large number of bombs, to attack the barracks of the 100th Unit of the Kwantung Army and all supporting facilities located on the Mengjiatun line in the southern suburbs of Xinjing.  A carpet bombing."

    ※This time the enemy not only dispatched a large number of bombers and dropped a large number of high-explosive bombs, but also used a new type of incendiary bomb in the bombing. This kind ofFire bombs are extremely powerful and are almost impossible to extinguish once they cause a fire.  The thick smoke outside now was caused by the bombing of the Mengjiatun front line by this new type of incendiary bomb.  "

    "Due to the enemy's bombing, it is still in progress. The current specific losses of the 100th Army are not very clear yet. But the troops closest to the Mengjiatun front line reported that the entire Mengjiatun line was full of  The fire was so raging that no one could get close to it, and it was almost completely razed to the ground.§

    "The anti-aircraft artillery and aviation units we deployed around Xinjing did not play any role because they did not respond in time. Moreover, several airports around Xinjing also suffered air attacks. It is also unclear how much damage has been done so far.  "The enemy planes are attacking us. The target here is too obvious. Commander, would you like to take shelter in the air raid shelter for now?"
