Age of Conquest Reborn

The temporary supreme commander of the Western Manchuria region of the Kwantung Army and the commander of the Third Army, Lieutenant General Tosa, who was already in desperate situation, sent a telegram to the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, General Nanjiro. The content was very simple, but the resentment contained in it was clearly revealed.

, "Reporting to Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, the staff and more than 400,000 imperial soldiers are currently surrounded by independent division troops located in the Nuruerhu Mountains in Western Manchuria!"

"On the ground, there was ferocious bombardment by thousands of artillery pieces from the Independent Division's artillery. In the sky, there was indiscriminate bombardment by more than a thousand Independent Division aircraft. The battlefield was filled with artillery fire. It was like a hell on earth. The staff knew that there was no possibility of breaking through or surviving.

, but what I want to say is that, in line with the bounden duty of a soldier of the Imperial Japanese Empire, the Ministry of Military Affairs led more than 400,000 Kwantung Army soldiers and faithfully carried out your orders. For this alone, even if all of them are broken, they are worthy of the empire.

Military honor!"

"It was Your Excellency's order that sent more than 400,000 Kwantung Army soldiers in Western Manchuria to the desperate place of death! However, even so, Tosa will still fight to the end with all the Kwantung Army officers and soldiers until the last man,

It is the honor and bounden duty of every Imperial soldier to be loyal to the Empire of Japan and His Majesty the Emperor, but the Ministry also implores the Commander-in-Chief to reflect on what he has done and whether he has a clear conscience?"

The telegram arrived at the Kwantung Army headquarters in Fengtian. General Nanjiro looked at the telegram from Lieutenant General Tosa. There was no expression on his dull face, but his heart felt like it was being torn apart. He read the telegram from Tosa and was full of emotions.

Resentment, but are all this caused by yourself?

The War in Manchuria has now begun, and it is no longer within the control of the Commander-in-Chief of the Kwantung Army. His Majesty the Emperor and the headquarters have directly taken over the command of the battlefield and ordered the Kwantung Army in Western Manchuria to break out in the direction of Liaoxi. It is His Majesty the Emperor who

I personally gave the order, and I was just the executor!

General Nanjiro knew even more that no one could save the Kwantung Army from collapse or the fall of Manchuria, not even His Majesty the Emperor. From the moment the Germans failed to mediate and negotiate with Tang Qiuli, the result had already been

It's doomed!

More than 400,000 Kwantung Army soldiers in the Western Manchuria area were surrounded by hundreds of thousands of independent divisions. The Seventh Army of the Kwantung Army in the western Liaoning area went north to support and seize the Huludao port, which was like a battle.

It's a whimsical joke that the Seventh Army was beaten back within a few dozen kilometers of its march, leaving thousands of corpses behind. It had to turn back to coordinate the Western Manchurian Kwantung Army's breakout operation, which completely failed.

The operation to break through the Jinzhou defense line of the Independent Division and seize Huludao has not yet begun, but General Nanjiro believes that there is absolutely no possibility of success. The direction of Jinzhou and Huludao is within the Independent Division, where the famous Feng Jiwu Corps is located.

How could the hundreds of thousands of well-equipped and well-trained troops in the direction of the Liaoxi Kwantung Army be given such an opportunity? Otherwise, there would not be today's siege!

When the war in western Liaoning first started, the Kwantung Army deployed 500,000 to 600,000 troops. They attacked fiercely day and night, trying to break out of the siege, but they failed to break through the blockade of the independent division, Marine Corps, and Korean Railway troops with less than 100,000 troops. To this day,

The encirclement of the Western Liaoning Independent Division has become unbreakable, and any efforts will be impossible to succeed!

There are two battlefields in the Western Liaoning and Western Manchurian Mountain Areas. They include all the main forces of the Kwantung Army in Manchuria, but the battlefield situation is different. Battles in the Western Liaoning battlefield are frequent, but not intense. In the Western Manchurian Mountainous Area battlefield, the fighting is bloody and bloody.

, the independent division troops have the intention of annihilating more than 400,000 Kwantung Army troops in Western Manchuria in one fell swoop.

But in General Nanjiro's view, the results were the same, but why on both battlefields, the independent division troops had the advantage to launch the final attack, but adopted different fighting methods, which puzzled General Nanjiro.

From my limited understanding of Tang Qiuli, this China devil, who was as ruthless as a wolf and as cunning as a fox, must have a bigger conspiracy to surround the Kwantung Army troops in the western Liaoning region without attacking them?

But what kind of conspiracy is it? General Nanjiro is unable to figure it out. Is it to attract him to send reinforcements to rescue the Kwantung Army troops in western Liaoning again, and to come to a encirclement point for reinforcements? "Haha!" He smiled bitterly, "Big

The military potential of the Japanese Empire in Manchuria was

Even Umezu Yoshijiro was exhausted. Where could he send troops? It was the huge Fengtian City where the headquarters of the Kwantung Army was located. In total, there were only more than 5,000 real imperial soldiers, including 3,000.

There are so many rear service personnel who have never been on the battlefield!”

But that China devil always has a plan in the western Liaoning region. What is his plan? Playing a cat-and-mouse game? Impossible, it was a battlefield of blood and flesh!

"Report, Commander-in-Chief, Chief of General Staff General Matsuda, please see me!" the adjutant's report interrupted General Nanjiro's hard thinking, "Oh, please come in, Chief of General Staff Matsuda!" His eyes were blank.

After receiving the order, I felt strange in my heart. It was not like this normally. When Matsuda came to my place, there was no need to inform him. What happened today? Is there any bad news?

Lieutenant General Matsuda, Chief of General Staff of the Kwantung Army, pushed open the door and came in. His face was a little swollen and he had dark circles under his eyes from a severe lack of sleep. During this period, he worked harder than the Commander-in-Chief, General Nanjiro. Except for important matters, he had to ask for instructions.

Outside, one

All the details were passed on to oneself. Manchuria was in turmoil, and the Kwantung Army was facing the fate of annihilation. What good news was there? There were painful reports everywhere. Mental fatigue was far more serious than physical fatigue.

!

"Matsuda-kun, if you have any situation, just tell me directly. Anyway, I'm used to it. Manchuria is under pressure. Is there any comforting good thing?" General Nanjiro said with a self-deprecating smile.

Chief of General Matsuda took out a telegram from the folder and handed it to General Nanjiro while saying: "Commander-in-Chief, I have just received a notification from the Chief of General Staff of the base camp to come to Manchuria to pick up the evacuation ship of the Kwantung Army troops.

The fleet, under the cover of an escort fleet composed of forty-eight naval warships and an escort aircraft group composed of five aviation groups, had set off from Miyazaki Port on the mainland Kyushu Island one day ago!"

"Currently, the troop transport fleet has arrived in the South Yellow Sea and is expected to arrive in the waters near Huludao in Liaodong Bay in a week. The General Staff of the base camp has ordered that the Kwantung Army in the western Liaoning area must hold on for more than a week and must capture

Huludao, use this place as the location to evacuate the Kwantung Army troops!"

"What?" General Nanjiro suddenly burst into rage, "Capture Huludao? Are the people from the General Staff hiding in the office and giving orders on the map? Do they know the actual situation of the battlefield in western Liaoning? Do they know the actual situation in western Liaoning?

Are there many crises faced by the Kwantung Army in the region? There are more than one million troops in the independent division, and more than 500,000 Kwantung Army soldiers have been heavily surrounded. They have been unable to break through the encirclement many times. Why are they trying to capture Huludao?"

"Seizing Huludao as a place to evacuate the Kwantung Army troops is simply unreasonable. Chief of Staff, immediately call back to the General Staff Headquarters of the base camp. The Liaoxi Kwantung Army Headquarters must stay in place for a week. There is still something to be done, but seizing Huludao

, is an absolutely impossible task!”

Seeing the ferocious rage of General Nanjiro, Chief of Staff Matsuda sighed inwardly. The usually calm General finally lost his composure, "Commander-in-Chief, in the previous telegram, the General Staff already had such an order, and now

I would like to emphasize again, I am afraid that the decision was made only after His Majesty the Emperor issued a strict order. Is it inappropriate for you to call me back like this?" He reminded as tactfully as possible.

"What's wrong? I can't watch countless Imperial soldiers make unnecessary sacrifices!" General Nanjiro continued to roar, "Go quickly and send my words to the general staff of the base camp, word for word, so that they can

Those guys who sit in offices and give orders, wake up and see clearly the actual situation on the battlefield in western Liaoning!"

Seeing General Nanjiro's face twisted with anger, Chief of Staff Matsuda had no choice but to turn around silently and leave, "Wait a minute, Matsuda-kun!" General Nanjiro suddenly called out to him.

Chief of Staff Matsuda thought that the Commander-in-Chief had changed his mind, and turned around in a hurry. However, he was horrified to see General Nanjiro's face, as ugly as ashes, and big beads of sweat appeared on his forehead!

"Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, are you feeling unwell? I'll call the military doctor right away!" Chief of Staff Matsuda thought that General Nanjiro suddenly had a heart attack, so he shouted in panic and was about to run out.

"Matsuda-kun!" General Nanjiro stopped him with difficulty, and then said to himself: "I understand, I finally understand, why did that China devil attack the Kwantung Army troops in the western Liaoning area when the conditions for attack are clearly met?

Surrounding without attacking is indeed a good plan!"

Chief of Staff Matsuda was confused. He didn't know what the general was muttering to himself. "Commander-in-Chief, what are you talking about?" he asked.

General Nanjiro suddenly rushed to Chief of Staff Matsuda with extremely agile movements, his eyes flashed like ghost fire, gritted his teeth and said: "Chief of Staff Matsuda, the content of the telegram just now is invalid. Please record the following telegram. Kwantung Army

Commander-in-chief Nanjiro, as the supreme commander of the battlefield in Manchuria, would like to report to His Majesty the Emperor my horrifying insight that the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli has a huge conspiracy hidden in the Liaoxi region of Manchuria!"

"The goal of the conspiracy is to use the more than 500,000 Kwantung Army soldiers of the Japanese Empire in the western Liaoning region as bait to lure local troop carrier formations, escort fleets and aircraft fleets deep into the waters of Liaodong Bay. Later, he used the occupation

Taking advantage of the right time and place, we intend to encircle and annihilate our troop transport fleet, escort fleet and escort aircraft group!"

"With great anxiety, I implore His Majesty the Emperor to immediately issue an order for the troop transport formations, escort fleets, and escort aircraft groups to return to the homeland immediately. Otherwise, the Empire will not be able to bear such heavy losses!"

Seeing that Lieutenant General Matsuda was stunned by what he just said, General Nanjiro shouted: "Matsuda, wake up! You personally supervise the confidential room and send this telegram directly to His Majesty the Emperor immediately! Hurry!

"
