"Mutaguchi Renye?"
Tojo pondered for a moment and thought of this person.
The 29th batch of graduates from Mainland China have been working at the grassroots level for a long time. They have strong working ability and rich experience.
During the Marco Polo Bridge Incident, it was he who fired the first shot, provoking an all-out war.
Therefore, in Tojo's eyes, he is a very "brave" person.
With such a man around, the strategy of conquering India will become easier.
"Then choose him. Draw elites from all over the country to form a westward marching corps, and set off from Thailand to attack India."
Tojo made arrangements.
"Best regards, Prime Minister."
Tominaga Kyouji gave him a flattering slap at the right time.
Just when Tojo was about to issue the order, a messenger came in.
"Prime Minister, something bad has happened. The Communist troops have left the country."
"What?"
Tojo snatched the telegram.
After reading the entire article, he sat down on the ground.
The telegram was sent by the 198th Regiment stationed at Shanhaiguan.
This morning, the Communist Army raided Shanhaiguan with powerful artillery, razing all the defensive positions to the ground. Almost all the stationed 198th Regiment was destroyed, and only a small number of personnel who went to exchange with other units survived.
According to what is known now, at least 100,000 Communist troops have passed Shanhaiguan and are advancing towards Fengtian.
"One hundred thousand people? The Communist army has left the border?"
Tominaga Kyouji looked at the telegram in horror.
"According to the feedback, there should be more than 100,000. Communist troops have been found in Chifeng, Chaoyang, and Tongliao, and are approaching Fengtian and Xinjing from several directions."
The messenger took out several other messages.
These were sent by the local garrison.
When these defenders were generating electricity, the common denominator was that they all suffered heavy shelling, suffered heavy casualties, and their own artillery was unable to deal an effective blow to the enemy's artillery.
The Kwantung Army was asked to increase its numbers.
"Is the Communist artillery so powerful?"
Tojo combed through the telegram and showed a horrified look.
In his impression, the Communist Army was just a group of militiamen who only drilled into the ravines to fight guerrillas.
In his eyes, the only ones worthy of a fight were the national army.
But the artillery of the Chinese army is just like that. No matter in quantity or quality, it cannot compete with the Japanese artillery.
However, the news given by the Japanese troops stationed in various places was that the Communist artillery was far ahead of its own.
To be precise, it is a dimensionality reduction attack.
You can only hit others by yourself, but others can't hit you. Isn't this a dimensionality reduction attack?
"how so?"
Tojo raised his bald head.
He couldn't understand that not long ago they were just a bunch of bumpkins.
How could he become so powerful in such a blink of an eye?
Could it be that someone secretly sold the Imperial Army's artillery to the Communist Army?
In the past two years, the number of artillery lost on the mainland battlefield has increased significantly compared with the past.
However, this is not right either.
If they really resold the Imperial Army's artillery, they would be at best evenly matched.
How could it be possible to hit with pressure?
Tojo couldn't figure it out.
"Prime Minister, since the artillery is out of action, let's send planes."
Tominaga Kyouji thought for a while and said.
"It is estimated that the Communist Army purchased a batch of artillery with performance far superior to ours through special channels."
"Although they have artillery, we have aircraft. No matter how powerful their artillery is, they can't still fly, right? As long as they hang bombs, even a reconnaissance plane can turn their artillery positions upside down."
"Well, that's all."
Tojo nodded.
Being inland, the artillery could not accomplish its goals, and the only thing it could rely on was the air force.
As Japan's most important occupied area, the Kwantung Army naturally has an independent air force.
There are about more than 300 aircraft in total.
Most of the aircraft organized by the Kwantung Army are Type 88 light explosion and Type 93 single-shot light explosion for ground attack.
All it can carry are bombs under 1,000 kilograms.
An aircraft of this level may be nothing on the European battlefield.
But in Asia at this time, bullying agricultural countries with no aircraft can already stand alone among the others.
Tojo thinks about this too.
Since artillery can't defeat it, then use the air force.
He didn't believe it. If the artillery lost, could the air force still lose?
"Notify the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, General Umekyo Yoshijiro, and ask him to send out planes to kill all the communist artillery. There is no room for loss in the Northeast!"
Tojo directly issued a death order.
Now, North China and Jiangnan have all been lost.
The army relies on the Northeast and the newly conquered Southeast Asia to maintain its reputation.
In particular, the million-strong Kwantung Army, known as the flower of the army, is stationed in the northeast.
If the Kwantung Army was also defeated.
Where to put the face of their army?
He, the Minister of War and Prime Minister, must resign directly.
You may even have to commit seppuku.
Therefore, there is absolutely no room for error in the Northeast.
This is a dead order.
"What other troops do we have in the Northeast?"
Tojo asked.
"In addition to the Kwantung Army, there are only Manchurian military police and police left. In addition, there are some garrison troops in North Korea..."
Tominaga Kyouji whispered.
"Press them all up!"
Tojo is like a red-eyed gambler.
Although, he consciously had a million elite Kwantung Army, as well as a huge fleet of aircraft, heavy artillery and tanks.
Even the most elite First Division, Chariot Division and other core elite troops are gathered here.
Almost condensed the essence of the entire Japanese Army.
On the Asian battlefield, no one can defeat this huge army.
But he always felt in his heart that something bad might happen.
"All troops?"
Tominaga Kyouji asked cautiously.
"All troops!"
Tojo has already given up.
Anyway, if Northeast China is lost, North Korea is there or not, he will have to commit seppuku.
In this case, why not put all your chips on it?
There may be a chance for a comeback.
"I see."
Tominaga Kyouji went to send a message to various troops stationed in North Korea, asking them to assemble immediately, cross the Yalu River, rush to Fengtian, and obey the command of the Kwantung Army Commander-in-Chief Umekyo Yoshijiro.
The incoming communist army must be wiped out.
Tominaga Kyouji also quietly sent a secret message to Wei Wu, instructing Wei Wu to stay behind when marching. After entering the battlefield, he should not rush to the front, let alone deploy near the artillery regiment directly under the division. .
It is said that the Communist Army has a very powerful artillery unit that specializes in artillery attacks. If it is deployed near the artillery wing, it will easily suffer accidental damage.
Seeing Tominaga Kyouji's secret message, Wei Wu sighed that the money was not wasted.
Those who are paid and those who are not are treated differently.
If it were an ordinary person, without Tominaga Kyouji's reminder, he would probably have to peel off his skin even if he didn't die.
But is Wei Wu an ordinary person?
Obviously not.
He had no intention of going to the battlefield.
He finally slipped out of the huge whirlpool of war.
Let him go back again?
It can't be.
Based on his understanding of the current firepower of the Communist Army.
If the saturation attack continues, millions of Kwantung troops may not be able to go to Siberia to dig potatoes, and they will be buried here and turned into farm manure.
He would never participate in a battle of this level.
