Please guarantee the monthly ticket, and I will talk about it today's third update.

Just as the two divisions of the Japanese Army were magnificent and proud and crossing the Yalu River, there was a tense and solemn atmosphere on the platform of Fengcheng County Railway Station. The white smoke from the front of the car enveloped the entire platform. The temporary recruitment of civilians and soldiers were busy unloading the trucks. Boxes of ammunition and supplies, cannons of various calibers, and also rigorous mules and horses with strong physical strength were unloading from the carriage after being strictly trained. On a railway track temporarily laid by the engineers, a row of soldiers was parked. Countless National Defense Army soldiers with live ammunition rushed out of the carriage under the command of the officers, and soon formed a neat formation, running towards the mountains around Fengcheng County, and soon disappeared from people's sight.

General Haway, the commander of the Second Army, was guarding the office of the railway garrison captain on the platform. Through the glass, he watched the train enter the station, and watched the trains enter the station continuously and were transported over to his brigade and belonged to his second army. He was full of irrepressible excitement, and he smiled at the Chief of Staff Huang Xuchu around him, saying, "Now, our Second Army has a war, and the time is just right. If the Far East is ready, the Japanese will not dare to come. The four divisions of their troops guarding North Korea will be a little trouble."

Huang Xuchu beside him smiled and said, "Yes, eat their two divisions first, and then take advantage of the victory to fight the Yalu River. This battle will completely transform Japan into an island country!"

Xia Wei laughed and said, "Whether we want to label Japan as an island country, it doesn't matter. Let's go and pick up Brother Jiansheng. Let's hear what the Chief of Staff said."

Another military car slowly stopped. Before the car could stop, General Bai Chongxi jumped down with several staff members who followed him. When he saw the busy unloading of supplies on the platform and the dispatch of the army, he nodded with satisfaction. The current National Defense Forces are indeed much more elite than three years ago. It seems that Chang Ruiqing and his years of hard work have not been in vain!

Xia Wei, who was well-equipped on the platform, had been waiting for him there. Seeing Bai Chongxi get off the train, he greeted him with a smile and saluted: "Brother Jiansheng, I finally hope for you."

A whistle sounded from the station, and then countless officers and soldiers of the National Defense Forces were seen carrying backpacks, carrying rifles and submachine guns, getting off the train in good order, and quickly left the team. Now it was time for the war to come, and Bai Chongxi didn't have so much spare time to chat with Hawei. The conversation between the two old classmates came to the point at the beginning.

"Brother Jiansheng, how about Shuangchengzi? How many days can I fight?"

"It will take three or five days, right? It's a fortress after all. It doesn't require heavy artillery to destroy its solid fortifications, and it can't be filled with human lives. Actually, I hope Shuangchengzi can fight for a few more days, but the chairman is worried."

"How many more days?"

"How great is this now? The Japanese army is crazy and hitting our solid position! The blocking positions between Shuangchengzi and the north and south can always kill tens of thousands of Japanese people every day. There are thousands of accounts in the Hutou Fortress every day. It is obvious that two divisions can be eaten here in Yalu River. It is a bit unexpected in the direction of Songhua River... I really don't know what the Russians' real intention is?"

"What else can I have? I'm always meditating on the mountain to watch the tiger fight. Will I join the war?"

As they walked and talked, the two entered the temporary command center located in a warehouse at the railway station. There was already a huge military map, which accurately drew the terrain of Fenghuang Mountain and Xinkailing, and several ideal ambush locations were marked with red marks. Xia Wei pointed to the map and said to Bai Chongxi: "Brother Jiansheng, time is a bit urgent. The Japanese are about to cross the river, and the reception banquet can only be used to replenish you after the war."

"What are you and my brothers?" Bai Chongxi smiled indifferently. He pointed to the busy railway station outside the command center and said, "This is a Manchu county, right? Is there a Japanese intelligence network? Is your confidentiality work OK? Our army will be mobilized under the eyes of Japanese spies."

"Because this is a Manchu county, the Japanese spies are even more helpless." Xia Wei sneered, "Do you still remember that Bai Mudan? The girl who assassinated Chang Yaoru, she bit out a Manchu counter-revolutionary group... After our people arrived here, the wealthy families in the county dug three feet to search, and even set up a long-wave radio station, dug out a Japanese spy group, killing more than a dozen Manchus who were spies for the Japanese. After the war started, our people went to a carpet-style search in Fengcheng and Andong counties, and no private radio station was found. Brother Jiansheng, you know, the long-wave radio station is the boss, and it also needs a generator rack and antenna, which is very difficult to make. As long as the Japanese cannot set up a radio station here, even if they find that our army gathers and mobilizes, they will not be able to send the information out. The entire Northeast has been martial law since June 7."

These days, radios are long-wave, and the power and size of the radio station are too large, and the transportation is inconvenient, and the price is also very expensive, not as cheap as the short-wave radio stations in the future. Therefore, intelligence agencies in various countries are facing the problem of intelligence transmission. For example, the Soviet Union monitored the Chinese institutions in the Soviet Union a while ago, effectively preventing the leakage of the sect's intelligence. In the end, in order to send this information out, Tang Jiu had to incite a mutiny! By the same token, although Japan's intelligence network in the Northeast is powerful, they cannot place too many secret radio stations in China. First, this thing is too easy to be exposed; second, it is too expensive, so that the Japanese Army Intelligence Bureau must go bankrupt. So now, martial law is in the Northeast, borders are blocked, and the movement of people in various places is restricted, and the Japanese intelligence network is also paralyzed.

After talking about the issue of confidentiality work, Xia Wei picked up a baton and pointed to the map to introduce military information to Bai Chongxi. "I estimate that after the Japanese army broke through the Yalu River defense line, they should advance along the South Manchuria Railway to Liaoyang and Shenyang. This requires passing through the mountainous areas of Fenghuang Mountain and Xinkailing. My solution is very simple, one should defend Fengcheng with one part, and the other part ambushed in Wulong Mountain, Wangdagou, Nandagou, and Shuanglingzi. After the Japanese army has passed, they will close the door and fight the dogs, and use two armies and one division to defeat their two divisions. Then fight across the Yalu River in one go!"

Bai Chongxi smiled unquestionably: "Brother Xu Cang, your Second Army's opponent is probably more than four divisions of the Korean Army!"

...

"Prime Minister, given the breakthrough that the Korean army has made, the military advises to give up the Shanghai operation and impose the Third Army as the Korean army in order to break into the hinterland of Manchuria in one fell swoop and turn the situation around and seize Manchuria!"

Army Minister Uehara Yoshihiro gently tapped the conference table, his expression on his face was full of joy of surviving the disaster. In the past few days, the Chinese army reached a breakthrough in the southern part of the Far East Prefecture. It surrounded Shuangchengzi Fortress and advanced to Yanpu, cut off the logistics transportation line of the Far East Army, making the top Japanese army feel the fear of defeat. Until today, the news that the Korean army broke through the Yalu River defense line of the Chinese army came that these Japanese cabinet and military figures breathed a sigh of relief. They began to dream of seizing Manchuria again.

Tanaka Yoichiro looked at Uehara coldly, ignored him, but asked the foreign minister Kitaichiro: "Does the ambassadors of Britain, the United States and France know that the Imperial Army has reached a breakthrough in the Yalu River?"

"The officials have already informed the ambassadors of the Three Kingdoms by phone, and they expressed their willingness to build a bridge for the peace talks of the Japanese branch again."

"Now is not the time for peace talks!" "The negotiations should be considered after the Imperial Army conquered Chenyang!"

As Kitaichiko finished speaking, Uehara Yuzusaki Wada Chihiro and the others jumped up and interrupted. Uehara said anxiously and quickly: "In more than a month since the war started, 50,000 soldiers of the imperial army have sacrificed their lives for the country, hundreds of thousands of pioneers have been displaced, and military expenditures are as high as hundreds of millions of Japanese yen. Such efforts cannot be without rewards! Otherwise, what will the people view us? What will the palace think of us ministers?"

"The palace! Isn't the matter now caused by the palace? Without passing the cabinet and without passing the parliament, I collude with Aji to start a war. This is an act of shaking the national system! And he is not the emperor today!" Tanaka Yoshinobu became angry when he heard the word "palace". He looked at Uehara without any concession, and Uehara also looked at each other fiercely.

"Tanaka! Is this what a minister should say? Are you still the minister of His Majesty the Emperor? Even Maehara Issei dare not say such things!"

The Maehara Issei mentioned by Uehara Issei was the "former leader" of Tanaka Yoshiichi. When Tanaka was twelve years old, he followed the rebellion of Emperor Meiji. After Maehara's defeat, Tanaka was exempted from being young and ignorant, but this matter was always a thorn in the center of Ta. Now Uehara is deliberately exposing his shortcomings.

"Uehara!" Tanaka gritted his teeth and stared at Uehara Yongzuo viciously. "You are an army general, not an ignorant child. You don't know what the battle situation is like now? The Chinese army has only used half of its troops at most, and the Imperial Army has already invested a total of seventeen divisions! If the last three divisions are also invested in Manchuria, then the other half of the main force of the Chinese army will lose control. They can join the Manchuria battlefield at any time. Can we win? Do you, the Minister of the Army, have the brain?"

"So now we must immediately put the Third Army into the Manchurian battlefield! We must move quickly, and we must seize Chenyang before the main force of the Chinese army heads north to set the victory. Even if we need to negotiate, we should wait until the Imperial Army captures Chenyang before we discuss it! This is the meaning of the army, and it is also the meaning of the palace!"

Tanaka sighed dejectedly. He felt that there was nothing to say about the prince who was already like a red-eyed gambler. The war between the Far East and Manchuria was on the verge of a crushing defeat, and the fall of Shuangchengzi was the case in the past two days. Then the Second Army on the Ussuri River will face a catastrophe! Once the Second Army was finished, there would be no available troops in the entire Far East! As long as the Chinese army seized the empty Boli, the First Army on the Songhua River would have no way to retreat... It was because of such a crisis that the base camp was desperate to order the Far East Army and the Korean Army to launch a fierce attack in three directions, and was preparing to carry out the Shanghai battle. At the same time, it invited Britain, the United States and France to intervene in the war. In fact, what they really wanted was to have a decent peace without the collapse of the overall situation. The breakthrough made by the Korean army in the Yalu River now seemed to be a good opportunity to achieve decent peace.

However, the prince in the palace regarded the breakthrough of the Korean army as a chance to save the war situation and defeat China and even occupy Manchuria! He completely ignored the crisis of the Far East Army, ignored the blows suffered by local industrial production due to the interruption of raw material sources, and even did not care about the domestic grain reserves. Now, Japan's local food supply depends largely on the Far East, the large granary of the Far East. It is the fertile land beside the Ussuri River and Xingkai Lake that allowed the Japanese people to live a full life of food and clothing in the past two years! However, the local food production in Japan has shrunk significantly due to the high cost and cannot compete for the food in the Far East. If the war cannot be ended before the autumn harvest in the Far East, then next year, the Japanese local food will face serious food shortage!

Thinking of this, Tanaka Yoshiichi glanced at the Army Minister coldly and said calmly: "The Chinese army is now ravaging His Majesty's subjects on the land of the imperial country! If such a disaster occurs, isn't the army going to stand up and take responsibility? Uehara Kun, Kawahiko is trapped in Shuangchengzi and it is difficult to fulfill the responsibilities of the commander. I hope you can go to Yanpu."

Uehara Yuki was stunned for a moment. He knew that Tanaka wanted to take the opportunity to waive his army minister and then send him to Yanpu as a scapegoat. As long as the Far East Army encounters any setbacks, what awaits him may be transferred to the reserve service.

"So who will take over the position of Army Minister?" Uehara gritted his teeth and asked.

"I will serve as the officer!" Tanaka Yoshiichi said. "I am also a general of the army and have also served as the minister of the army." He ignored Uehara, but looked at Tian Zhong to ask again: "The military headquarters will not have any opinions, right?"

Tian Chinashige was born in Satsuma and belonged to the same group as Uehara Emoto. But at this time he had no choice, because Tanaka Yoshiichi was the prime minister elected by the parliament and had the right to appoint and remove the Army Minister. Moreover, the Minister of the Army and Navy does not need to be an active military officer to serve as the Army Minister. He had no choice but to appoint a civil servant to be the Army Minister, let alone the minister, Yoshiichi Tanaka, a hero who seized the Far East Prefecture, as a minister?

"The subordinate has no objection." Tian China glanced at Uehara with a pale face again and said, "But the commander of the Far East Army should be appointed by General Yamaaki, the commander of the Second Army. The commander of the Second Army should be upgraded to the commander of the Far East Army. The system of the Second Army will be abolished at the same time, and all troops will be directly under the Far East Army."
