    Those who he consciously stayed behind were deprived of their pastures and livestock, which for the Mongolians were a matter of life and property, and their belief in Lamaism was suppressed. Therefore, they had no regard for the Mongolians who ran out of Mongolia with extreme hatred.  It will make those Mongolian People's Army and Resistance Alliance who enter their territory too comfortable.

    But before Kanji Nishihara could feel happy that his conspiracy to back him up was successful, on the first day of the retreat, the 23rd Division, which was concentrated on the front line of Hylar, suddenly started to massacre the people in Hylar City.  As for the two excuses for acting as advisers in his name, it is difficult for Nishihara Kanji to accept it.  What made him even more angry was that these two staff officers would affect the retreat safety of the 23rd Division. This extremely reckless move.

    Originally, in Nishihara Kanji¡¯s view, it was no longer necessary to keep the secrets of the Hyrule Fortress Group secret.  Now that the Kwantung Army has decided to withdraw its entire line south and abandon the Hailar line, this fortress group has lost its original role.

    Since the Hyrule front line has been abandoned, it is no longer necessary to cover up all the secrets.  As long as Hyrule is not recaptured for a day, the secret of this fortress group will be discovered sooner or later.  Why do you have to completely anger your opponent and make him so desperate?

    What makes Kanji Nishihara most angry is that as the division commander, he was the last one to know about this massacre.  It wasn't until the city remembered the intensive gunfire of the massacre that Lieutenant General Kanji Nishihara, who was having fun with two locals in his arms because everything had been arranged, realized that without his order, his subordinates had actually  Take action without permission.

    We will be evacuating Hylar tomorrow. Lieutenant General Kanji Nishihara is really reluctant to leave here.  It's not that Kanji Nishihara, who has just been transferred here for less than two months, is reluctant to leave this small city outside the Great Wall with a Mongolian style. The originally small city has become deformed and prosperous for some reasons.

    He was a little reluctant to let go of the cozy home built by the division commanders in the division headquarters after the 23rd Division deployed to defend Manchuria. In order to alleviate the desolation and loneliness of Hylar, a borderland.  Precisely because he was greedy for the luxury here, after the deployment was completed, he handed over the task of evacuation of the entire division to the division's chief of staff, Kawago Yusaku, and the division's senior adjutant, Lieutenant Colonel Tachibana Keiichi.

    And he hugged two local soldiers who had just arrived in Hylar less than a month ago, took off their clothes and had fun drinking in the division commander's official residence.  Just when Nishihara Kanji, who had a gun under his body in excitement, was about to pick up his gun and mount his horse, intensive gunfire suddenly rang out in the city.

    When he almost thought that the gunshots in the city were coming from the Mongolian troops who were involved in his plan to lure wolves into the house, and was frightened to the point of impotence on the spot. When Kanji Nishihara knew the truth, although he was extremely angry, he wanted to stop the troops who had gone crazy, but failed.  It's too late.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out of control, the 23rd Division, which was already red-eyed with murders and rapes in Hylar City, was no longer something he could stop if he wanted to.  In desperation, Kanji Nishihara cursed Yusa Kawago and Lieutenant Colonel Keiichi Tachibana who came to report, as well as the two staff officers who issued orders without permission.  Facing the troops that have lost control, they can only let it go.

    But afterwards, he was always enveloped in a strong sense of uneasiness.  The second day after leaving Hyrule, the tragic situation of being chased and bombed by the Anti-Japanese Alliance while retreating all the way confirmed the uneasiness in his heart.  These two guys who acted without permission brought much harm to the retreat of the 23rd Division.

    There is no way. Ever since the former deputy chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, who single-handedly caused the September 18th Incident, Ishihara Kanji, who was also a staff officer, has become the idol of all staff officers in the Japanese army.  It is already the dream of these staff officers to do something earth-shattering from time to time.

    In Nishihara Kanji's view, these guys who only care about making things bigger for themselves but never take responsibility for wiping their own butts are a group of guys who never use their heads to think about things.  They don't think about anything except provoking troubles and creating opportunities for themselves to make contributions.  As for the consequences they will bear, they are not even considering it.

    As for the audacious overreach of these two staff officers, Nishihara Kanji guessed that it was probably related to the fact that Kanji Nishihara returned to Manchuria from the Southern Army for vacation a few days ago. Hearing the news that the 23rd Division was about to retreat, he hurriedly rushed from Xinjing to risk being shot down.  The danger that arrived in Hailar on a small plane that day was instigated by Colonel Qian Zhengxin, who had instigated the Nomenhan incident.

    Although he has not had much contact with this staff officer of the 23rd Division, Nishihara Kanji is familiar with his famous name since he took office in the 23rd Division.  Just thinking that this guy was sent to the Southern Army and had no chance to tell him what to do.  But I didn't expect that the first thing this guy did when he returned to Manchuria was to come to Hailar, and it would bring such a big surprise to him.??.

    ¡°It¡¯s just that this guy has now slipped back to the Southern Army, but he and the 23rd Division were deceived by him and the two staff officers who were bewitched by him.  But now that the matter has come to this, the most he can do is get angry at his chief of staff and senior adjutant.

    Faced with Kanji Nishihara's rage for who knows how many times since he evacuated Hylar on the second day, the Chief of Staff of the 23rd Division, Yusaku Kawago, who was also in a state of embarrassment, although he used a large number of enemy troops against the division commander,  The reason why the aviation force intercepted the retreat of the 23rd Division was entirely due to the 23rd Division's disapproval of the massacre of Hylar.

    But facing the troubled Lieutenant General Nishihara Kanji, Kawagore Yuzuo wisely kept his mouth shut.  Until Lieutenant General Nishihara Kanji and the enemy planes arrived at the same time and left at the same time.  The intensity and duration of the fire are directly proportional to the air strikes the division suffered.

    Now that the anger had subsided as the enemy planes that attacked the 23rd Division had left, Yuzuo Kawago said: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, our top priority now is not to consider whether we should be held accountable, or whether we should be held accountable.  Who is responsible? But how to get rid of the current situation of being chased and bombed by enemy planes."

    "According to the current daily casualty figures, if the current situation continues, the 23rd Division will completely lose its combat effectiveness before reaching the Wangye Temple. The troops are now unable to escape the enemy's bombing, and the new weapons used by the enemy  Under the damage caused by incendiary bombs, even if our army gets out of the way, it cannot escape the threat of enemy aircraft. This situation is extremely detrimental to our army's operations."

    "Now the Kwantung Army Headquarters can hardly provide us with any support, and our contact with the Kwantung Army Headquarters is also intermittent. Under the current circumstances, I think we should speed up the march. We should no longer care  With enemy air strikes overhead, we headed towards the Aershan front line with all our strength.¡±

    "According to our current day's march time, we will have to spend most of our time avoiding air strikes, and we will most likely be overtaken by the enemy who reacted. And under the current situation, the casualties we have incurred are not  It¡¯s better to go there than to avoid the air attack. So, I think we should forcefully advance to the Aershan line regardless of the enemy¡¯s air attack.¡±

    "As long as we arrive at the Aershan line, we can not only replenish some supplies there, but also use the Bai-A railway to retreat to the Wangye Temple line, the assembly point designated by the Kwantung Army. Not only can we greatly speed up our march, but we can also get cover from other troops  ¡±

    "Our current location is only a few dozen kilometers away from the Aershan front line. According to our current marching speed, it is already very good that we can reach Aershan even tomorrow night. But if we ignore the enemy's air attack, we can reach the Aershan front line.  If we force the march, we can arrive at midnight today at the most.¡±

    "Although the Aershan region does not have the same fortress group as Hailar, it does have relatively complete border fortification areas to rely on. Although the Aershan garrison there does not have many troops, it is also a support and response for us.  Rather than being bombed passively on the road, it is better to pay the same price and forcefully retreat to the Aershan front line.¡±

    "Your Excellency, Division Commander, judging from our current daily losses, this casualty ratio is still very suitable for us. If we delay for another day, we don't know how many casualties there will be. When we arrive in Aershan, we finally have fortifications to rely on.  Even if we don¡¯t retreat south, it¡¯s still better than being exposed on this bare plain and being bombed.¡±

    Kanji Nishihara also thought about Kawagore's suggestion to forcefully retreat to Aershan despite the air strikes of the Anti-Alliance Air Force.  But for him, this determination was difficult to make.  Although he also knew that instead of paying the same price and being bombed on the highway, it would be better to evacuate to Aershan regardless of casualties.

    But after all, he is the division commander and has far more things to consider than Yuzuo Kawagore, who is the chief of staff.  According to Kawagoro Yuzuo's suggestion, the more than 2,000 expatriates carried by the division have not received any military training. Under the condition of forced march, it is simply impossible to keep up with the retreating expatriates.

    Of the several thousand expatriates of the empire in Hylar, only two thousand or so were lost along the way.  Most of them were men and women in their prime. As for the old, weak, women and children, they had already been lost during the march in the previous two days.  If all the remaining two thousand or so overseas Chinese are lost, not only the Kwantung Army headquarters, but even the base camp may not be able to spare him.

    ¡°I am not one of those people who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and has a prominent family background such as a father or father-in-law who is a senior army general to rely on.  Even if something big happens, someone will protect you.  If all the expatriates are lost, I am afraid that I will be directly transferred to the reserve force.

    For Lieutenant General Kanji Nishihara, whose father¡¯s highest rank in the army was a captain, he was considered a civilian.  That person of theirs has been a common man for dozens of lives.Judging from the family he came from, he, an army lieutenant general, is already the most promising person in the entire family.  He would be very unwilling to retreat just like this in despair.

    Tens of thousands of Manchus died in Hylar, so the empire¡¯s treatment of him will not be too serious.  But if thousands of imperial citizens are lost, it will definitely be a disaster for Kanji Nishihara, who has only relied on his own efforts to reach his current position step by step, with no one above to take care of him, and no one who is very capable to take care of him
