    Speaking of this, Chida Sadao looked at Kanji Nishihara who was sinking after hearing his words, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Your Excellency, the division commander, is the one who keeps the entire division hungry and well-equipped.  It¡¯s up to you to decide whether to fight against the enemy or take the almost non-existent risk of returning to the empire-controlled area through Mongolia.¡±

    "But I tell you clearly that the Kwantung Army Headquarters did not ask us to defend the Aershan area, and there is no need for us to defend the Aershan area. Let the 23rd Division continue to stay at the risk of all the jade.  In the Aershan area, is it necessary to break through more than 200 kilometers and retreat to the Wangye Temple line with the enemy on an empty stomach? "

    "As the Acting Chief of Staff of the 23rd Division, I think it is necessary for me to remind you. According to the experience of last year's battle, in the face of an enemy with strong combat effectiveness, even if the current food reserves in the Aershan region are combined with the supply of labor  All the food supplies have been collected, and all the supplies for our soldiers will never be able to sustain our entire division to successfully break through to the designated location of the Kwantung Army headquarters. "

    "Instead of risking the entire army's destruction and forcing a breakout south in the absence of effective supplies, it is better to go west and take advantage of the opportunity when the main force of the Mongolian army is attracted to the northern front. After replenishing some supplies through Mongolia, we can  Going south in a circuitous way. Aershan is more than 200 kilometers away from Wangye Temple, but less than 40 kilometers away from the Manchuria-Mongolia border."

    "As for the Mongolian border guards west of the Halaha River, which are mainly cavalry, they can basically be ignored based on the combat effectiveness of the imperial army. These Mongolians have long lost the bloody spirit of Genghis Khan.  They're just a bunch of people. If it weren't for the Soviet Union's support, they wouldn't be able to cause any trouble to the empire."

    "And the imperial soldiers have been trained hard for a long time, and their ability to march long distances is definitely one of the best in the world. As long as there is no interference from enemy planes on the route, there is no point in re-entering Manchuria before the Mongols and Soviets react.  questionable.

    To be honest, Chida Sadao¡¯s suggestion made Nishihara Kanji very excited.  For him, entering Mongolia can not only avoid the pursuit of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, but also make use of the various strategic supply points built by the Soviet and Mongolian troops west of the Halaha River after the Battle of Nomonhan to supplement the current supply of the 23rd Division.  An extremely valuable resource.

    The most important thing is that the Anti-Japanese Alliance would never have expected that when they were in a desperate situation, they would break out to the south and move closer to the main force of the Kwantung Army.  Instead, they headed west, taking a detour through Mongolia and heading south.  Under the premise that the Anti-Japanese Alliance did not dare to enter Mongolia, as long as they fought quickly and acted quickly, they could even evacuate to a safe zone through Mongolia before the Soviets could react.

    ¡°But after all, Nishihara Kanji is not one of those impulsive advisers. There are some things that he cannot help but consider.  Major General Chida Sadao was only the temporary acting chief of staff after Kawagore Yusa was killed in battle.  As for his Eighth Border Guard, although it is nominally under the command of the 23rd Division, it is not within the 23rd Division's organizational structure after all, and does not need to bear any responsibility.

    ¡°Once this detour caused an all-out war between Japan and the Soviet Union, the blame would all fall on him, Lieutenant General Kanji Nishihara.  This is what Nishihara Kanji does not want to see.  Last year, the 12th Division took advantage of the time difference and detoured to the Soviet Union to retreat to a safe zone. Although it did not cause an all-out war between Japan and the Soviet Union, it still made the base camp nervous for a long time.  If he follows the same pattern, there is no guarantee that the base camp will impose a heavier punishment on himself in order to avoid similar examples in the future.

    Although Kanji Nishihara was hesitant, he also knew that if he really lost the 23rd Division, even if he could survive.  The base camp will never spare him.  Judging from last year's combat experience, relying solely on the current state of the 23rd Division and its own strength alone, it is impossible to tear apart the encirclement that the Anti-Japanese Alliance has probably begun to build from the front, and safely break through to the front line of Wangye Temple.

    Once it enters a war of attrition, I am afraid that the 23rd Division will not be able to last very long with the supplies it currently has on hand.  By detouring westward into Mongolia, there is still a glimmer of hope for the 23rd Division.  However, if they stick to the spot and wait for reinforcements, or retreat to the east or south, it will be almost impossible for the 23rd Division to survive.

    After a quick analysis of the possible consequences of Chida Sadao's suggestion, in order to preserve the main force of the 23rd Division, Nishihara Kanji, who did not hesitate for too long this time, gritted his teeth and said: "Chida-kun,  Just do what you want. Let each regiment rest for half a day, have a good meal, and then set off westward at a forced march speed at 7 o'clock tonight. They must reach the Manchuria-Mongolia border and cross Kazakhstan by force within three hours.  The Laha River enters Mongolia.¡±

    ¡°Order the existing troops of the 71st Regiment and the Engineer Regiment of the Division, as well as all officers and soldiers of the Aershan garrison, to withdraw to the Aershan KingdomWithin the fortification area.  It is commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Tachibana Keiichi, the senior adjutant of the division, and is responsible for covering the general retreat of the entire division.  No one is allowed to take a step back before receiving an order from the division headquarters.  "

    "Hasn't Lieutenant Colonel Tachibana Keiichi always regarded himself as the most authentic samurai in the Japanese Empire? Now I will give him a chance to be loyal to the emperor. The two staff officers will also stay to assist Lieutenant Colonel Tachibana Keiichi in commanding the remaining troops.  Since they are full of ideas about making achievements, as their division leader, I must support them, right? Otherwise they will always say that I don¡¯t give them a chance.¡±

    Speaking of this, Nishihara Kanji thought for a while and then said: "Order each regiment to kill all the horses except for the mounts above the regimental captain to replenish the physical strength of the soldiers. Including all the horses of the Aershan garrison.  Slaughter all the horses, and take away the heavy machine gun team, rapid-fire artillery team, and infantry artillery team of the Aershan garrison.¡±

    "The Mongols have built a lot of fortifications along the Manchu-Mongolia border. Without direct fire support, the warriors of the empire will pay a heavy price. Anyway, the Aershan garrison has permanent fortifications to rely on, and they don't need these artillery.  Yes, we can borrow it to reduce casualties and then repay them in the future."

    The last words of Nishihara Kanji made Major General Chida Sadao roll his eyes, and once again felt the shamelessness of the lieutenant general, the division commander.  Now there are only a few hundred people left in the Aershan garrison. You left them to fight against the anti-alliance forces that may have come out in full force. How can they still survive?

    Even if you add in the 71st Regiment, which currently has less than a brigade of troops, and your engineering regiment, which failed to clear mines, it can only manage more than a hundred people now.  I'm afraid this person is not strong enough to resist the alliance.  Also, when the time comes for the righteous master to go to the west to see Amaterasu, who will go to you?  It's better to just say that you won't be able to use it anyway, so we might as well use it.

    It¡¯s just these words that Chida Sadao would not say.  It is not easy to make this division commander, who can be startled by leaves falling on his head, nod and agree to go through Outer Mongolia.  Some things are better not to be said too bluntly.  So as not to irritate this guy then.

    As for the few people he left behind, Chida Sadao, who was still clear about the cause and effect of the incident, could only shake his head. These guys were so unlucky to meet such a small-minded division commander.  Lieutenant General Nishihara Kanji, leaving them behind at this time was obviously to retaliate against them for acting without authorization and posing such a great threat to the division.  He almost made the division commander impotent.

    The few people who escaped during the hundreds of kilometers from Hylar to here should find it difficult to escape this time.  If that Sichuan hero Wu Zuo didn't die, he would probably be left behind.  This lieutenant general is too broad-minded.  Thinking of this, the way Chida Sadao looked at Nishihara Kanji was a bit like that.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? These two guys, who knew that the situation and the situation and waited for no one, simply started to deploy immediately.  In order to keep it secret, even the troops who were left behind were not notified.  The captain who thought that these two generals could take him and the remaining troops away did not know that he had been abandoned until the main force of the 23rd Division disappeared.

    The trick played by Kanji Nishihara and Sadao Chida was beyond almost everyone¡¯s expectations.  After the First Division captured the White Wolf front line and encircled the Japanese fortification area in Arshan, they found that the main force of the 23rd Division had disappeared.  It wasn't until dawn when they arrived at the Manchuria-Mongolia border that they discovered that the 23rd Division had entered Mongolia.

    The commander of the First Division did not dare to make the decision without authorization and asked Yang Zhen for instructions as quickly as possible.  After receiving the telegram from the 23rd Division, Yang Zhen, who was commanding the battle against the Northern Mongolian Army entering Xing'an, was stunned for a moment, but he shook his head and smiled bitterly and said to Wang Guangyu beside him: "What do you mean by shooting yourself in the foot?  that is."

    "This time the Mongols concentrated almost all their troops in the eastern region and entered North Xing'an, occupying the line north of Hailar to Yakeshi, and even went north to Mohe. They thought they had taken advantage of us. But they did not expect that their rear was empty, but the Japanese  Take advantage of it."

    After Wang Guangyu took the telegram and read it carefully, he thought about it carefully and said: "No. 1, what do you think we should do next? Once we cross the border now, this matter will really make a big fuss. Can we let them  I¡¯m really not willing to run away like this in vain.¡±

    In response to Wang Guangyu's words, Yang Zhen waved his hand and said: "I can't catch up, and I've wasted too much time. Fighting close to the border, the commander of the First Division was too cautious. Only now did we find out that the 23rd Division entered Mongolia.  I¡¯m afraid they ran away last night. The 23rd Division is probably already several dozen kilometers deep.¡±

    "Let the First Division ignore the Japs in the Aershan fortification area, and let them go south from the Aershan line and launch a pincer-shaped offensive toward the Wangye Temple line. Remember, we don't want them to really fight. We are now  ??The entire unit is in a state of refitting and running-in, and it will take at least two months before it can enter actual combat.  "

    "As for now, we are not yet able to carry out large-scale operations. The troops are expanding too quickly. Before they are fully adjusted, it is better to be more cautious. However, this scene must be done well. The posture must be as large as possible.  Stance. That is, the posture is open on the surface, but it must be stable underneath.¡±
