From the landing at Huāyuankou to the capture of Jinzhou, in one day and one night, the Eighth Route Army captured the Nanman Railway and Shanhaiguan on the Beining Road, Jinzhou. This news was like a bomb, almost blowing up the Japanese base camp.
The Japanese Chief of General Staff, Shan Shanyuan, finished his memorial. After returning to his office from Pine Pavilion and sitting down, he issued a series of orders, mobilizing the Fifth Flying Group to reinforce the Kwantung Army's operations, and then made a phone call to urge him to complete the order. Shan Shanyuan again
He called Admiral Nagano Shushen, the commander in charge of naval operations, and asked if the mobilization order for the Fifth Fleet had been issued. After receiving a positive reply, Shanshan Yuan was relieved and ordered the operations department to call the commander of the Kwantung Army, General Umezu Yoshijiro.
The base camp informed him of the decision and ordered the Kwantung Army to resolutely destroy Liu Yimin's troops who landed on the Liaodong Peninsula.
After everything was properly handled, Shan Shanyuan left the office and drove home. Because he was hungry and needed to eat.
There were few cars at this time, and there were no traffic jams in Tokyo. Shanshan Yuan lived not far from the imperial palace, and he returned home soon. Mrs. Shanshan Yuan and her daughter Yunzi also came back early and had lunch.
Seeing that Shan Shanyuan came back, Mrs. Shan Shanyuan ordered her servants to quickly serve the food and serve the meal to the Chief of General Staff.
The food was served, but Shanshan Yuan was not in the mood to eat, because his follow-up combat officer Ryuzo Seshima hurried over and handed him a telegram that shocked him: General Yoshijiro Umezu, commander of the Kwantung Army,
Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Yoshimoto Sadichi was assassinated in front of the Kwantung Army Headquarters Building, and Commander of the Kwantung Defense Force Lieutenant General Yasui Fujiharu was shot dead.
At this time, both the commander and chief of staff of the Kwantung Army were assassinated, and the commander of the Kwantung Defense Force was shot dead. Everyone knew what was going on. Shanshan Yuan was not stupid. Naturally, he immediately understood who did this.
, what is the purpose for.
Shan Shanyuan was trembling all over while holding the telegram.
Mrs. Shan Shanyuan originally had no right to read Shan Shanyuan's telegram, but when she saw that her husband's face turned pale, his eyes were red, and his whole body was trembling. It was like he was having a stroke. She was afraid that Shan Shanyuan would be so angry that he would faint.
He hurriedly walked over to help Shan Shanyuan, and took a look at the telegram in Shan Shanyuan's hand. He was also shocked and cursed Liu Yimin for being despicable, shameless, rogue, and doing bad things. He will not die a good death!
As the old saying goes, if you want to know how to sleep with your master, Mrs. Shan Shan Yuan is a famous lady in Japan. When did you ever scold someone when you were a child? After marrying Shan Shan Yuan, especially when Shan Shan Yuan became the deputy minister and the prime minister.
, after becoming the commander of the North China Front Army and the chief of the general staff, Mrs. Shan Shanyuan was influenced by what she saw and heard. She just changed from a skilled lady from a famous family to a first-class powerful lady. She spoke and acted differently. When she saw the telegram, it said "Kanto"
The commander of the army, General Yoshijiro Umezu, and the chief of staff, Lieutenant General Sadaichi Yoshimoto, were both assassinated. Mrs. Sugisumoto actually blurted out and cursed Liu Yimin. This woman's judgment was more accurate than that of the Japanese Army Air Force's reconnaissance team!
Mrs. Shan Shan Yuan cursed loudly, which woke up Shan Shan Yuan. He took one look at the delicious food on the table and decisively turned around and went out.
Shanshan Yuan did not go to the General Staff Headquarters. Instead, he went directly to the Imperial Palace to ask for an audience with His Majesty the Emperor.
Emperor Hirohito was happier than Sugimoto. After the summons, he returned to the inner palace to have a good meal and took a nap. At this time, he was dreaming!
Emperor Hirohito's dream was very magnificent: he was riding a snow-white war horse, galloping on the plains of Western Europe, with Hitler and Mussolini riding behind him, one on the left and one on the right. They looked very much like the characters in Greek mythology.
.
Unfortunately, the sweet dream was awakened by Sugimoto. When Emperor Hirohito got up and washed himself, he went to the Pine Pavilion and sat down. Sugimoto hurriedly reported the assassination of Umezu Meijiro and Yoshimoto Sadichi, and the shooting death of Yasui Toji.
Emperor Hirohito was even more shocked than Sugimoto, and almost fainted.
Kido Koichi, the Interior Minister, is the chamberlain who is in charge of palace affairs. He is also the most trusted person of Emperor Hirohito. He is extremely powerful. Often when Emperor Hirohito wants someone to form a cabinet or someone to step down, Kido Koichi usually lets him go first.
Do the work to avoid encountering obstacles when the emperor's edict is issued.
Kido Koichi often accompanied Emperor Hirohito to receive cabinet ministers and loyal ministers of the army and navy, and often attended events on behalf of Emperor Hirohito. He was well-informed. When he saw His Majesty the Emperor, his face was black and veins were popping on his forehead. He was afraid that Emperor Hirohito would faint if he was not careful.
, hurriedly summoned the medical officer to prepare for emergencies, and also asked people to notify Prime Minister Hideki Tojo, Minister of the Navy Shitaro Shimada, and Minister of Military Affairs Osamu Nagano to immediately enter the palace to discuss matters.
By the time Tojo Hideki, Shimada Shitaro and Nagano Shushen arrived at Matsunokaku, Emperor Hirohito had already calmed down and was scolding Sugimoto with glaring eyes like a hungry wolf!
Tojo Hideki heard clearly that what Emperor Hirohito was reprimanding was "The entire Kwantung Army Military Police Headquarters deserves to die. They actually let killers sneak into the Military Police Headquarters and shot and killed Generals Umezu Yoshijiro and Yoshimoto Sadaichi at the Military Police Headquarters.
All deserve to die!"
Only then did Hideki Tojo know that it turned out that the commander of the Kwantung Army, General Yoshijiro Umezu, and the chief of staff, Lieutenant General Sadaichi Yoshimoto, who had commanded the Kwantung Army to win the war between Japan and the Soviet Union, had been assassinated. Tojo Hideki felt a thump in his heart. Fortunately, he never
Manchuria came back early. Otherwise, the one who died accompanying General Umezu Yoshijiro would not have been Yoshimoto Seiichi. It might not have been Yoshimoto Seiichi’s predecessor Kimura Hyoutarou and others, but himself. You must know that among the Kwantung Army’s successive chiefs of staff
, he is famous. Moreover, he developed the Kwantung Army Military Police Headquarters by himself. Liu Yimin's snipers have all sneaked into the Kwantung Army Military Police Headquarters, how can they let him go?
Tojo Hideki had no time to think deeply, because Emperor Hirohito began to ask him: "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, what do you think of what happened in Manchuria?"
This matter has just been discussed, and Tojo Hideki has returned to the office from Pine Pavilion for less than an hour! However, Tojo is indeed a war madman, and his decision in the morning is to deploy the Fifth Fleet and the Fifth Flying Group to reinforce Kanto
The army was fighting, and now Tojo Hideki's tone changed. He just heard the loud announcement: "Your Majesty, the goal of Liu Yimin's department is now very clear, which is to defeat the Kwantung Army and seize Manchuria. The reason why General Umezu Yoshijiro was assassinated must be Liu Yimin.
A murderous action carried out to create chaos and destroy the command system of the Kwantung Army. The Empire of Japan must not let the arrogant Liu Yimin succeed! Manchuria and Mongolia are the lifeline of the Empire of Japan and must not be lost! I believe that a new Kwantung Army commander should be appointed immediately
Officials and chiefs of staff, and the three elite divisions of the Kwantung Army fighting in Shandong were quickly returned to Manchuria to participate in the war. In addition, troops were mobilized from the Southern Army and the North China Front Army to participate in the war, completely eliminating the security cancer Liu Yimin's Ministry. The Japanese army and navy drove the Soviet army to Xing'an
To the west of the ridge, drive the American and British troops out of Southeast Asia, and never allow Liu Yimin's troops to wreak havoc in Manchuria!"
When Tojo Hideki said this, he was completely different from his usual taciturn and precious words. Instead, he was full of fanaticism. However, Emperor Hirohito liked it. He felt that the Tojo Hideki in front of him was more appropriate than playing here at noon.
Hideki Tojo is much more capable!
If Konoe Fumima becomes Prime Minister, he might also consider the military expenditure required to mobilize such a large army and consider whether it is necessary to issue war bonds again. If Tojo Hideki does not consider this, he does not understand economics at all, and he does not understand economics at all.
I don’t care whether it’s abnormal development or not. In addition, the Japanese army has newly occupied Southeast Asia, and they want oil, oil, rice, and money. Tojo Hideki is very crazy!
Shan Shanyuan was the land minister during the Marco Polo Bridge Incident and was one of the culprits who started the all-out war of aggression against China. Naturally, he knew that Manchuria must not be lost! If Manchuria is lost, North China, Central China, and South China will be lost one after another, and the occupation of Southeast Asia will also become
It's meaningless. However, Shan Shanyuan is a dull guy on the outside but tough and cruel on the inside. He knows that now is not the time to bully the world. Once Liu Yimin fully occupies Guandong Prefecture and Fengtian, and controls the South Manchuria Railway and the Beining Line
, the supply of the main force of the Kwantung Army was cut off. Not to mention fighting, its own survival was a problem. You must know that in the Far East, Mongolia can neither provide enough military food nor produce enough arms. The foundation of the entire Northeast industry and agriculture is
Kwantung Prefecture, Fengtian Province, and Jinzhou Province, without the Northeast's industrial raw materials, grain, and ammunition production, what will the Kwantung Army use to fight Liu Yimin! Not to mention the Kwantung Army, many factories in Japan may be at risk of closing down.
.
Shan Shanyuan hurriedly reported: "Your Majesty, the Army will definitely do its best to support the Kwantung Army to eliminate Liu Yimin's Ministry. I just ask Your Majesty to order the cabinet to meet the logistics supply. Especially once Liu Yimin's Ministry controls the South Manchuria Railway, the Empire of Japan will import from Manchuria.
Food, coal, steel, and ore will all be greatly reduced, please consider this."
When Sugimoto said this, Emperor Hirohito was like a bucket of cold water poured on his head, and he suddenly woke up. Yes, this is not the past. In the past, when fighting the Japanese-Soviet War and the Pacific War, he could get a steady stream of food from Manchuria.
Support, ammunition support. Now the factories in Dalian and Shenyang have fallen into the hands of Liu Yimin. The Kwantung Army can only rely on the original ammunition reserves for operations. There are no longer cars, cannons, and artillery shells produced in the Northeast to continuously support the Kwantung Army operations.
.
Tojo Hideki shouted: "It is precisely because the loss of Manchuria will cause trouble for the industry of the Empire of Japan that we must desperately recapture Kanto Prefecture, Fengtian, the South Manchuria Railway, and the Beining Railway. Don't worry, Southeast Asia's oil, rubber, and rice
Supply will be met!”
Military Commander Nagano Shushen asked: "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, without Manchuria's steel, coal, ore, what would the Japanese army and navy use to make guns and artillery? In Southeast Asia, except for oil, rubber and rice, what else can compare with Manchuria? They have
Is there a steel company as big as Anshan Showa Steel Works? Is there a coal mine as big as Fushun Coal Mine? Is there a railway and highway as developed as Manchuria?"
Hideki Tojo said arrogantly: "Domestic material supplies are capable of supporting the Kwantung Army's operations. The cabinet is prepared to put materials seized from Southeast Asia into the domestic market to enrich the supply. The people should also have the consciousness to tighten their belts to support the war.
You can eat rice, but you can’t fight war!"
After Tojo Hideki finished speaking, Emperor Hirohito stopped letting others speak, and said coldly: "Kanto Prefecture cannot be lost, Fengtian cannot be lost, and the South Manchuria Railway must be restored. The navy fully supports the army's operations and is prepared to mobilize from the Southern Army
No less than four divisions were deployed to reinforce the Kwantung Army, and the Korean army cooperated in the operation. The three elite divisions of the Kwantung Army in North China were immediately returned to their organic form. General Yamada Otsuzo, the director of Army Education, was transferred to serve as the commander of the Kwantung Army and the director of military affairs of the Army Province.
Akira Muto was appointed as the chief of staff of the Kwantung Army. The Kwantung Army mobilized with all its strength to eliminate Liu Yimin's department! The cabinet is responsible for military supplies, and the staff headquarters is responsible for overall command."
Emperor Hirohito made the final decision at the critical moment, stopped the wrangling between Tojo Hideki, Sugimoto Yuan and Nagano Osamu, and made a decisive decision.
After saying that, Emperor Hirohito paused for a moment, and his tone was somewhat sad and stern: "The Japanese Army dominates the world and is invincible. Unexpectedly, it encountered the Liu Yimin Department of China who suffered a consecutive defeat and suffered a defeat. The elite 21st Brigade,
The Eighth Division and a large number of other organized units that were collectively defeated were all killed by Liu Yimin. What kind of character is this Liu Yimin? I really want to meet him and see if he is like the one in the Chinese mythology.
As he said, he has three heads and six arms."
When he said this, Emperor Hirohito's face turned red. He was so angry that he couldn't help but reached out and slapped the imperial desk, and suddenly said loudly: "This war in Manchuria is about the empire.
Rise and Fall. Eliminate Liu Yimin's tribe and successfully regain Guandong Prefecture and Fengtian. Then the empire can advance and attack and retreat and defend. Otherwise, the empire will be in an unprecedented difficult situation! The safety of the empire depends entirely on you. I am waiting for the news of your victory!"
Tojo Hideki, Shanshan Yuan and others are busy shouting long live.
What Emperor Hirohito didn't expect was that General Yamada Otsuzo, the Army's director of education, was admitted to the hospital after receiving the notice to enter the palace. He said he had a stomach problem and needed treatment.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that General Yamada Otozo did not have a stomach problem, but a fear of fighting. He was afraid of Liu Yimin!
This is not the style of the Japanese generals. Think about the ferocity of the Japanese generals during the September 18th Incident, the August 13th Incident, and the Marco Polo Bridge Incident, and then look at the performance of General Yamada Otsuzo today, I am afraid Emperor Hirohito’s heart is so cold.
Wow cool.
However, Yamada Otsuzo can’t pretend to be a dead dog! There are only a few active generals in the Japanese army. Juichi Terauchi is in the Pacific battlefield, Shunroku Hata is the commander-in-chief of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, Neji Okamura is the commander-in-chief of the North China Front, and Moto Sugisugi is
Chief of the General Staff, the newly promoted Army General Hideki Tojo, Prime Minister and Prime Minister, Kenji Doihara is good at conspiracy and incompetent at commanding large corps in combat. If Yamada Otsuzo doesn't go, who will?
Internal Affairs Minister Kido Koichi personally went to the hospital to express condolences to General Yamada Otsuzo's condition, forcing Yamada Otsuzo to gather his energy and fly to Changchun overnight with the new Kwantung Army Chief of Staff Muto Akira to take office. (To be continued)!~!
