The future of the Kwantung Army

Half an hour later, when Lieutenant General Taniguchi walked out of the conference room surrounded by generals, the 200,000 Kwantung Army breakout troops in the temple had completely changed their appearance from top to bottom.

In the meeting just now, General Mitsujiro was directly deprived of command by Lieutenant General Taniguchi. As a supporter of Mitsujiro, Lieutenant General Sakai Ichiro, Chief of Staff, several lieutenant generals with military power, division commanders, major general brigade commanders...

Under the order of Lieutenant General Taniguchi, all of them, without exception, were deprived of the right to command the troops and placed under complete house arrest. For a time, more than 200,000 Kwantung Army breakout troops were all under the control of Lieutenant General Itaniguchi.

In the hands of a group of military officers led by relatives of the emperor...

"Reporting to the commander, according to the latest telegrams sent by various troops, the replacement of some commanders in the troops has not caused much panic. The division commanders, brigade commanders, and wing commanders at all levels who have just been appointed by the headquarters

I have fully taken command of the troops..." As soon as he sat down in the seat of former General Mitsujiro, the communications staff officer of the headquarters walked in. He answered cautiously to the newly appointed commander in front of him.

"Yoshi, very good..." Lieutenant General Taniguchi replied in a good mood after hearing the result he wanted.

After all, the answer given by the communications staff officer in front of him means that he has completely mastered the entire breakout army and has command of the entire breakout army...

"Master Masuda, the whole thing is progressing more smoothly than we imagined. In less than half an hour, we took command of this unit..."

"Ha Yi... Your Excellency, Commander, I think that this operation was fortunate that the captain of the headquarters' security brigade was one of ours, allowing us to control those officers who dared to disobey orders as soon as possible, so as to take control of the military power of the army as soon as possible.

Your Excellency, Commander, the entire force is now under our control, what’s next?” Masuda Masuda’s face also showed a confident smile because of the power he had in hand, and he asked rhetorically. ("")

"First of all, immediately implement His Majesty the Emperor's order, send negotiators, and ask the Chinese government to take over all the Chinese hostages in our hands. Second, comrades, the commanders of each division will come to the headquarters for a meeting in an hour to discuss our Kwantung Army's southward march.

The specific way out for the dispatched troops..." Lieutenant General Taniguchi ordered with a high-spirited look.

"Hayi..."

Inside the General Headquarters of the East China Field Army in Nanjing City.

"Boss, Commander-in-Chief, good news, good news... I have just received news from Deng Hua that the Japanese Kwantung Army's southward dispatch force has sent negotiators to prepare to release all the Chinese people who have been held hostage and ask our army to take over. This is Deng Hua

A message written by Commander Hua himself..." Chief of Staff Zuo Quan said with excitement.

"Comrade Liu Hua, it seems that the electrification you asked Ishihara Wanji to publicly announce is effective. I never thought that the Japanese Kwantung Army, which has always been arrogant, would sometimes compromise..." After reading the entire telegram with excitement on his face, the boss said,

He praised Liu Hua beside him.

"Commander-in-Chief, the Kwantung Army, the Kwantung Army is also a human being. As long as they are human, they have seven emotions and six desires. Even if they don't take pictures of themselves, they still have to think about their families. However, according to my understanding of Mizu Shiro, he is a

Are typical militarists agreeing to our request so quickly? Is there something wrong with this?" Liu Hua said with a puzzled look on his face.

At this moment, a sly smile appeared on Zuo Quan's face. Seeing the two bosses' eyes focused on him, Zuo Quan quickly spoke.

"Two bosses, now in the entire Kwantung Army's Southward Expedition Force, there is no longer Mitsujiro... According to the news from the Japanese army's internal intelligence officers, just a few hours ago, a senior officer of the Kwantung Army's Southward Expedition Force had an incident.

A series of changes were made, which is what we call military admonishment..."

"Mizu never agreed to carry out Emperor Hirohito's order because of the idea that the general would not accept the emperor's order. ("") However, as soon as this order was issued, it violated the interests and interests of the emperor's relatives and relatives in the Kwantung Army.

Authority. As a result, a group of military officers who were relatives of the emperor, relying on Emperor Hirohito's orders, captured Mitsujiro and some die-hard elements in the army in one fell swoop."

"Until the intelligence personnel spread the information and the Japanese army began to release the hostages, the entire Kwantung Army, which consisted of more than 200,000 people, was completely controlled by those relatives of the emperor. Therefore, the era of Mizu Shiro in the Kwantung Army was completely over..."

"Good news, really unprecedented good news...Boss, I can be sure that without the old rival Mizuchiro to dispatch the Kwantung Army southward, it will be much easier for us to eliminate this enemy..." Liu Hua

He assured with a confident look.

"Do you have any specific ideas..." the boss asked thoughtfully.

"Yes, then just wait and see what happens..."

The Kwantung Army dispatched troops to the south.

It was still the same conference room a few hours ago, but at this moment, the dozen or so people who came to attend the meeting, without exception, were all generals carrying Venus on their shoulders. Of course, these generals were all real Kwantung Army soldiers at this moment.

of leaders.

After taking a quick glance at the general in front of him who could be regarded as his confidant, Lieutenant General Taniguchi, who was sitting at the front, satisfied his inner vanity and then spoke.

"Everyone, we have implemented your Majesty's order. We have released all the Chinese people who were held hostage in accordance with the order. Next, what we need to discuss is the specific solution for our 200,000-strong Kwantung Army. After all, we have lost

I found the last thing that made the Chinese team feel a little scrupulous..."

"In this way, before the discussion, let me first let Colonel Masuda give you a detailed introduction to the current specific military strength and material reserves of our Kwantung Army's southward dispatch force, so that everyone can have an idea."

Seeing Lieutenant General Taniguchi's signal, Colonel Masuda quickly stood up from his seat, took out a list he had already prepared, and said.

"Dear sirs, this is the latest survey conducted by our headquarters on the entire Kwantung Army. According to statistics, our Kwantung Army's southward dispatched force currently has eight reorganized divisions and three ** brigades, totaling 190,000

More than 6,500 people, including 43 infantry regiments, nine artillery regiments, six baggage regiments, ten cavalry regiments, eight engineering regiments..."

"According to statistics, among these 190,000 people, approximately 140,000 are combat troops, 25,000 are artillery troops, 10,000 are cavalry troops, 12,000 are baggage troops, 6,000 are engineering troops, and the remaining personnel

Provide medical logistics personnel and command and staff personnel for division headquarters and headquarters."

"The above is the statistics of our army's military strength. Next, I will introduce our material reserves to the superiors. According to the latest survey, our army's remaining food can last for up to twenty days if it is reduced as much as possible.

The various light weapons and ammunition carried by the troops can only be used by the troops to sustain a continuous battle for a week. As for the ammunition of heavy weapons, because it is inconvenient to carry and not conducive to breakout, etc., it can only be used by all artillery for one day... In addition, the current troops

All the medicines carried have been exhausted. This means that in the following battle, as long as a soldier is injured, it means death..."

Shocked. At this moment, the generals who came to attend the meeting could not see any other expressions except shock. Even the atmosphere in the entire meeting room became more and more solemn. They did not expect that

The arrogant Kwantung Army was actually in such a bad situation.

At this moment, Lieutenant General Taniguchi, the temporary commander of the Kwantung Army, spoke.

"The situation is terrible... Everyone, the current situation of our Kwantung Army can only be described with two words: terrible. To put it more simply, the Kwantung Army at this moment is no longer the No. 1 nation in the world with a lot of capital a few years ago.

An elite. But a piece of fat meat that may be eaten by the Chinese ** team at any time... Okay, everyone will talk about their thoughts in detail. Next, where should the 200,000 Kwantung Army troops dispatched to the south go?

….”

Because these generals all have certain backgrounds in the country, they don't have any scruples when speaking.

As soon as Lieutenant General Taniguchi finished speaking, a division commander directly proposed the idea of ​​sending troops immediately to occupy a fortress and continue to defend it.

However, as soon as the idea was expressed, it was opposed by everyone.

Attacking a military fortress without any air superiority or artillery superiority, and more importantly, with insufficient ammunition in hand, is undoubtedly a way to die. Although everyone here is not a person who is afraid of death, but let them truly give up the country

When someone who is in a respected position goes to die, there will be a trace of hesitation in everyone's heart.

When the siege failed, a division commander who was afraid of death directly proposed the idea of ​​negotiating with the Chinese government and even surrendering.

Regarding this idea, although many of the imperial relatives and relatives present expressed their agreement from the bottom of their hearts. However, before everyone had a chance to speak, Lieutenant General Taniguchi rejected it outright.

In the words of Lieutenant General Taniguchi, direct surrender would not only lose the face of the Kwantung Army, but more importantly, lose the face of the Japanese royal family. Therefore, this idea that moved many people had to be temporarily carried out.

put on hold.

At this moment, a compromise idea won everyone's agreement.

According to Emperor Hirohito's order, we searched for favorable terrain nearby, and took the initiative to engage in a decisive battle with the Chinese Army under the conditions of sufficient supplies. This would not only ensure the face of the Kwantung Army, but also the face of the domestic royal family.

Throw it away. More importantly, as soon as the decisive battle begins, the lives of these division commanders are in their own hands. At that time, it is up to them to decide whether to fight to the end or surrender.
