Xu Rui led the main force of the Chahar Independent Regiment and suddenly crossed Shanhaiguan and launched a blitzkrieg to the northeast. He advanced nearly two hundred miles eastward overnight and entered Huludao. After the news was sent back to Tokyo, it immediately shocked the entire Japanese military hierarchy. Chief of General Staff Hanyuan Gong Zairen held an emergency staff meeting.
However, the staff meeting discussed it for a long time, but there was no result.
Because no one can say which of the two consequences is more serious
Keep the remnants of the Soviet Far East Front? If not, there will be a story of being injured instead of being killed by a tiger!
If the Chahar Independent Regiment is allowed to regain Fengtian, the trouble may be even greater, because the Japanese army has already seen the Communist Party's ability to mobilize troops, and Xu Rui's ability to command large forces in combat has also been demonstrated in the recent Battle of North China. China has witnessed that once the two are perfectly combined, the consequences will be disastrous.
Finally, Juichi Terauchi and Kuniaki Koiso proposed to throw this hot potato to the Japanese commanders on the front line. Kanin Miya Zaijin also acquiesced to this suggestion, so the Japanese base camp sent a telegram to the Far Eastern Front Army Headquarters, instructing the Far Eastern Front Army The command makes appropriate decisions based on actual circumstances.
When the telegram from the Japanese base camp was sent, Commander Ishihara Kanji of the Seventh Army happened to be at the Far East Army Headquarters.
As the eastern cluster of the Soviet Far East Front was completely defeated, the western cluster also retreated in great strides. The siege of Chita had long been resolved. In order to unify the command of the Japanese army, the Japanese base camp had transferred the Seventh Army to the Far East Front. So now Ishihara Kanji is already a subordinate of Yamashita Tomofumi.
Of course, Ishihara Wanji was very unconvinced by this.
Ishihara Kanji believed that he planned and instigated the Far East Battle, and then led his troops to defend Chita for more than a year, and finally succeeded in defeating the Soviet army. Therefore, he was the first to annihilate the Soviet Far East Front and occupy the Far East and Siberia. , it should be Ishihara Wanji's, not Yamashita Tomofumi, a guy who only knows how to flatter.
Because of his inner dissatisfaction and the fact that Ishihara Wanji had a bad temper and liked to contradict his superiors, he and Yamashita Fengfumi did not get along well. The Seventh Army was transferred from the Kwantung Army to the Far Eastern Front Army in just a few days. Ishihara Wan'er had already quarreled with Yamashita Fengwen twice, and they even slapped the table yesterday.
After receiving the telegram from the Japanese base camp, Ishihara Wanji and Yamashita Fengfumi quarreled again.
"Ishihara-kun, I understand what you mean." Yamashita Fengwen tried his best to suppress the boiling anger in his chest, trying to make his tone calmer, and said, "Xu Rui is indeed the most dangerous enemy of the empire, but at this stage... In other words, the threat of the Chahar Independent Regiment to the Imperial Army is far less than that of the Soviet Far East Front!"
After a pause, Yamashita Fengfumi continued: "So now, the Far East Army's top priority is to concentrate all its efforts to deal with the Soviet Far East Front as soon as possible, instead of dividing the troops south at the critical moment, so as to give the Soviet Far East Front a breathing space and ultimately miss the opportunity to completely annihilate the Soviet Union. A great opportunity for the Far Eastern Front!”
"At this stage, the threat of the Chahar Independent Regiment to the Imperial Army is far less than that of the Soviet Far East Front? I really don't know how you came to such a stupid conclusion!" Ishihara smiled and sneered, almost pointing at Yamashita Fengfumi His nose called him an idiot. This old devil was indeed very capable, but his emotional intelligence was still as negative as ever.
After a pause, Ishihara Wanji continued: "Yamashita-kun, you are not so naive as to think that the remaining troops of the Kwantung Army alone can defeat the Chahar Independent Regiment's blitzkrieg, right? If you really think so, Then I can only say that you are too young and naive, and the Kwantung Army has already become an empty shell!"
Ishihara Wanji verbally attacked several times, and Yamashita Fengfumi gradually couldn't suppress his anger, and his voice gradually became louder. He said loudly: "No matter how empty the Kwantung Army is, it still has at least five divisions. This It’s always right, right?”
Ishihara Wanji said contemptuously: "It is true that the Kwantung Army still has five divisions, but two of them are stationed at Hailar Fortress to cooperate with the Far East Army, one division is stationed at Dongning Fortress, and another division is at the same time. Jiang, the only one that can really resist the attack of the Chahar Independent Regiment is the First Division!"
Yamashita Fengwen hummed and said: "It is enough to have the First Division in Fengtian. Ishihara-kun, the First Division is a model division second only to the Guards Division among the seventeen permanent divisions in the empire. Retreat ten thousand Bu Dao, even if the First Division is not the opponent of the Chahar Independent Regiment, there is no problem in holding them back for a while, right?"
Ishihara chuckled, and then said: "Yamashita-kun also knows that the First Division is a model division second only to the Guards Division, but what if it is stronger than the Guards Division? Why not be beaten to a pulp by Xu Rui all the same?" The jade is broken? What's more, the Chahar Independent Regiment at this time is much stronger than the original Songhu Independent Regiment! And the first division is missing the third infantry regiment! Yamashita-kun, such a simple addition and subtraction You can’t even calculate correctly. Was your primary school arithmetic taught by your physical education teacher?”
Ishihara Wanji repeatedly mocked, finally completely irritating Yamashita Fengfumi.
"Ishihara-kun, watch your words!" Yamashita Fengfumi glared and said, "Don't forget, I am your boss."
"Yamashita-kun, I have been very careful with my words." Ishihara Wanran said, "If you were my subordinate, you would have been waiting for me for a long time. Will you still chatter in front of me?"
"in argument?"
"It's not just a quarrel." Kimura Hyōtaro shook his head and said, "This time both of them took action."
Then, Kimura Hyōtaro picked up the main contents of Kobayashi Asaburo's secret message.
"It's really outrageous." Umezu Yoshijiro snorted after hearing this. "As a senior general of the Imperial Army, he acted like two ronin in front of so many staff members in the headquarters, especially in front of Rommel, a German adviser. A big fight would simply bring the Imperial Japanese Army and the Empire of Japan into disrepute."
After a pause, Umezu Yoshijiro asked again: "What happened in the end?"
"In the end, the two parted ways. Yamashita Tomofumi led the main force of the Far East Army to continue to advance, while Ishihara Kanji led the main force of the Seventh Army back to rescue Manchukuo." Kimura Hyōtaro said, "Since the prompts from the base camp were also ambiguous, so Yamashita Tomofumi did not stop Ishihara Wanji and allowed him to return to aid."
"We parted ways?" Umezu Meijiro was stunned when he heard this.
Hyōtaro Kimura snorted lightly and said: "Your Excellency, Commander, it is regrettable that the Far East Army failed to return reinforcements, but it is also a very good result that the Seventh Army returned to assist Manchukuo. After all, the Seventh Army not only There are five infantry divisions, and more importantly, two armored divisions, which are enough to resist the Chahar Independent Regiment."
Umezu Yoshijiro nodded and said: "But that requires the First Division to be able to hold on until the main force of the Seventh Army returns."
"There should be no problem with this." Kimura Hyōtaro said, "When the base camp was organized into the Far East Front, a large number of trucks were transferred from the Chinese Condemnation Army and the Kwantung Army, but not a single truck was transferred from the Seventh Army, so the first The Seventh Army's maneuverability is still very strong, and most of the North-Manchuria railways are intact, so it can reach Fengtian in as little as three days."
Umezu Yoshijiro shook his head and said, "But the First Division may not be able to hold on for three days."
"This can't be true." Kimura Hyōtaro said disapprovingly, "Although the First Division has been transferred to an infantry regiment, and it is also the oldest third regiment, the first infantry regiment is still there. As long as the infantry regiment As long as the First Regiment is here, the military spirit of the First Division is still there, and its combat effectiveness is still guaranteed."
After a slight pause, Kimura Hyōtaro continued: "What's more, the imperial army had already built fortifications from Panshan to Heishan. In addition, Lu Heng's 5th Division of the Manchuria Defense Force blocked the Chahar Independent Regiment for five days. Time should not be a problem, the Seventh Army should arrive in five days, then there will be no problem.”
Umezu Yoshijiro shook his head and said, "I hope so."
