    Kanji Nishihara knew that, let alone the tens of thousands of Manchus who died in Hylar, even if more people died, the empire would basically not deal with him.  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.

    Once this happens, the base camp will not let him go, even if it is for comfort.  At this point, he was somewhat worried about gains and losses.  After all, being killed by enemy planes during the retreat and consciously abandoning the army are two different concepts for the base camp.  The results of processing will not be the same.

    The Japanese not only have a strict hierarchy in the military, but also have a strict hierarchy in daily life.  As a child of a common people family with no roots and factions, if you want to look good and completely get rid of yourself, or even the entire family is poor, in addition to being admitted to university to engage in politics or teaching.

    The only way for them to get ahead is to enter the sergeant school and then to the Army University to become a general.  Otherwise, it would be difficult for children from ordinary people's families to get ahead, especially those from poor farmers.

    And if you want to get into a high position in the army, in addition to being admitted to Army University, you also need to rely on so-called military exploits.  Lieutenant General Nishihara Kanji, who also came from a civilian family, was just like his colleagues who came from the same family and dreamed of getting ahead.  In order to climb up, it can be said that you are desperate.

    These people have never known what it means to think about the lives of their soldiers. As for the lives of civilians, in their eyes, they are pawns that can be discarded at any time when necessary.  Everyone, including the so-called emperor to whom they profess allegiance, is nothing more than a ladder for them to climb up.  As long as they can achieve their goals, they will not hesitate even if they are riddled with bones.

    But not everyone in the base camp has the same origins as them.  Once there are too many casualties among foreigners in his country, he himself does not care.  But for the sake of appeasement, the base camp still needs to be dealt with in many cases.  Those civilians are not the army. Even if they suffer a huge defeat, they can still cover it up if they want to.

    Thousands of overseas Chinese have disappeared inexplicably, and the military must give the public an explanation to appease them.  Although the most serious thing is to be transferred to the reserve force, this result is the least acceptable to Lieutenant General Nishihara Kanji, who dreams of becoming a general or even the third commander of the army.

    "While Nishihara Kanji was hesitant, Major General Chida Sadao, commander of the Kwantung Army's Eighth Border Guard Corps, who was retreating with the 23rd Division, couldn't wait any longer.  The Eighth Border Guard, which was left at the end to serve as a cover with the 71st Regiment of the 23rd Division, and became the best target for the Anti-Japanese Alliance aviation, suffered casualties and one third of the missing in two days.  If this continues, how many people will be left in the Eighth Border Guard Team when they arrive in Aershan?

    His 23rd Division, Kanji Nishihara, has three reinforced regiments, as well as artillery, search, engineering, baggage, and a large number of attached tanks, anti-aircraft artillery and other units.  His own Eighth Border Guard Corps was no match for the 23rd Division. There were just a few infantry teams. If they were still crawling so slowly towards Aershan, they might not be able to hold on to their destination.

    If the Eighth Border Guard Corps had not fought, it would have been completely consumed during the retreat.  Even if he could go back alive, the Kwantung Army and the base camp would not be able to spare him.  What's more, Chida Sadao, who has already reached the rank of major general and hopes to survive and advance to the next level, naturally doesn't want to die.

    Looking at Lieutenant General Nishihara Kanji who is still a little hesitant, this Major General Chida Sadao doesn't care about so many things, and he doesn't have as many taboos as Kawagore Yusa.  The major general said directly: "Your Excellency, Lieutenant General, we can no longer hesitate about this matter. I hope you will make a quick decision."

    "If we continue walking so slowly, your 23rd Division may be able to hold on to the Aershan front line. But the Eighth Border Guard Corps cannot hold on to the Aershan front line no matter what. Although the Eighth Border Guard Corps is  The brigade is organized, but its strength and equipment are simply not comparable to those of a regular field brigade. If this continues, the Eighth Border Guard Corps will be exhausted."

    "Also, the current way in which the entire division marches together on the road and on both sides of the road must be changed. With so many troops gathering on the road and on both sides of the road, aren't they acting as targets for aircraft? This place is already far away from Aershan.  It¡¯s very close, so we don¡¯t have to worry about the pursuit of the Anti-Union troops.¡±

    After all, it is the rank of major general. As soon as Major General Chida Sadao's words came out, it was absolutely different from the pressure brought by Kawagore Yuzuo to Nishihara Kanji. Now that Chida Sadao spoke, he forced Nishihara Kanji who was still silent even if he didn't want to express his position.  , but I had to take a stand.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­After retreating after this wave of bombings, there were no more anti-Japanese aircraft in the sky. Nishihara Kanji finally made up his mind, gritted his teeth and said: "Fighting is also light, not fighting is also light. Anyway, if we continue like this, fight or not."  It¡¯s all light. Instead of being exposed to this bare road and being consumed little by little, it¡¯s better to fight hard.¡±

    Seeing Nishihara Kanji finally nod, Chida Sadao and Kawagore Yuuto looked at each other, and both saw the relaxed look in each other's eyes.  For the two of them, no matter how they arrived at Aershan, which had semi-permanent fortifications, it was much better than being passively bombed on this highway without any ability to fight back.

    And even after the Anti-Alliance pursuit, with permanent fortifications to rely on, almost all heavy weapons such as mortars and above were lost, and even most of the infantry artillery was lost.  The most important thing is that there is not much food, and when supplies are already scarce, it is much better to fight with them in the field.

    Kanji Nishihara, who was furious, seemed straightforward and immediately began to adjust the deployment.  It was changed from the original search regiment to take the lead, followed closely by the 64th regiment.  In the middle are the departments directly under the covering division of the 72nd Regiment, as well as the main baggage force, the artillery regiment and the overseas Chinese.

    As for the Eighth Border Guard Corps and the 71st Regiment, which only had one infantry brigade left, as well as two baggage squadrons and engineering regiments and other non-combat units, he unkindly arranged them at the end of the entire march.  On the other side, the marching sequence is responsible for covering the retreat of the entire army.

    Divide the division's three infantry regiments, the baggage, engineering, and search regiments, plus the artillery regiment and the Eighth Border Guard Corps, which have become unarmed infantry, into three groups.  The infantry regiment, the Eighth Border Guard Corps, and the artillery regiment all broke away from the road and marched toward the southwest Aershan along the shallow hills and hills on both sides.

    The baggage trains, engineering troops and search brigade provided cover for the remaining expatriates to continue walking on the road.  In the newly adjusted march sequence, as the commander-in-chief of this retreat, the division headquarters, which is the brain, must not be separated from the combat troops and be together with the non-combat troops.

    Therefore, at the insistence of Lieutenant General Nishihara Kanji, the 23rd Division Regiment Headquarters gave up the road with better conditions, but it was also a key target of the Anti-Alliance Air Force.  Turned to march with the 72nd Regiment on the right.  As for the 71st Regiment, which had no regiment commander to take care of it and was left with only one infantry brigade, it was still entrusted with the important task of rearranging the marching sequence for the entire army in the newly adjusted sequence. This time, the marching sequence was readjusted.  Under the strong protest of Major General Xiong, Kanji Nishihara, who did not want to conflict with him on this issue, did not do too much.  Finally, the Eighth Border Guard Corps was changed from the rear position of the entire army to the right wing to cover the entire army's march.

    No wonder Major General Chida Sadao is dissatisfied.  The two infantry brigades of the 71st Regiment, together with the regimental commander, were shattered on the Yakeshi front line. Naturally, the remaining infantry brigades were unable to undertake the task of covering the division headquarters.  And its strength is also not enough to open the way for the entire division, so it can only stay at the end to cover the entire army.

    As for the Eighth Border Guard Corps, which had a considerable number of troops transferred away by the Kwantung Army last year but has not yet been able to replenish it, Kanji Nishihara used the excuse of replenishing the 71st Regiment to temporarily merge it with the 71st Regiment into one.  The infantry regiment cuts off the rear of the entire army together.

    This made all the officers and soldiers of the Eighth Border Guard, from Major General Chida Sadao to ordinary soldiers, quite dissatisfied.  In terms of heavy weapons, the Eighth Border Guard currently only has one field artillery squadron and one rapid-fire artillery squadron.  In terms of military strength, the Eighth Border Guard Corps, which once numbered seven thousand, now has no more than a regiment.  Letting the Eighth Border Guard to cut off the rear of the 23rd Division was quite unethical.

    The 71st Regiment is your own organic unit of the 23rd Division. It is your own business, the 71st Division, to use this dilapidated regiment as a cover.  Even the remaining brigade of the 71st Regiment was completely destroyed, and it had nothing to do with the Eighth Border Guard Corps.

    But Kanji Nishihara left the Eighth Border Guard at the back to take on the task of covering the entire army, which made Sadao Chida very dissatisfied.  In a situation where the Anti-Japanese Alliance may pursue them at any time, this unit that is at the very back to cover the army's general retreat means that it may be sacrificed for the sake of the overall situation at any time.

    Once this happens, it will be equivalent to exchanging the Eighth Border Guard Corps and the 71st Regiment, which currently has only one infantry brigade, for the survival of the main force of the 23rd Division, which means that it is very likely that the Eighth Border Guard Corps will  The entire team will be destroyed.  Therefore, this arrangement made Chida Sadao and his men very dissatisfied.

    But after all, the Japanese army was much more obedient than the squadron at that time. Despite some reluctance, the Eighth Border Guard was still under the command of the 23rd Division.  Even though he is just a subordinate and has not been included in the 23rd Division's organizational structure, he is still his direct superior after all.

    Especially when the supplies are in the hands of the 23rd Division, the Eighth Nation??The garrison dared not speak out in anger.  But this time when the marching order was adjusted, Chida Sadao firmly disagreed with leaving the Eighth Border Guard at the back.  They also threatened that if Nishihara Kanji did not change his behavior of discriminating against the Border Guards, they would act alone.

    Although what Major General Chida Sadao did made Nishihara Kanji very angry.  However, under Yuzuo Kawago's persuasion, he finally agreed to Sadao Chida's request.  While adjusting the marching sequence, Lieutenant General Kanji Nishihara, in the name of the commander of the 23rd Division, issued a death order to each regiment captain, ordering each regiment to ignore the anti-alliance aircraft in the sky, and the entire army moved as quickly as possible  Retreat to Aershan quickly.  And the faster the speed, the better
