Kanto Army hero cut off his wrist

General Tomoto Tomoto's face was pale and had not yet reacted from despair. Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Koi Iso Kyoto had calmed down from the continuous defeats and attacks, and began to think about specific responses to ensure that the Kanto Army was invincible in this operation.

After a brief thought, he spoke to General Honjo Honjo with a decisive look on his face: "Master, I think that our Kwantung Army has reached the time for a hero to cut off our arm. Otherwise, the final loser must belong to my Kwantung Army..."

A glimmer of hope flashed across the desperate face of Zhuang Shin's face, and his eyes lit up. He completely ignored his identity as the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, and asked in anticipation at Koi Iso Kwan Aki, "Chief of Staff, what you mean is to give up Liaoning..."

Although he was full of contempt for General Honjo Shin-shou's performance just now, in the face of General Honjo Shin-shou's rapid reaction speed, Chief of Staff Koi Iso Kwanaki still replied with a compliment: "Hayi, Commander, wise..."

After seeing the look of Honjo Shizuka signaling him to continue speaking, Lieutenant General Koi Iso pointed to the map and explained again: "Commander, judging from the current situation, we must give up some of the benefits we have already obtained in order to protect the remaining benefits we have already obtained from being taken away by the Chinese..."

General Shin-chan is not a fool. After thinking about it for less than five seconds, he asked incisively: "Then we must give up those interests and retain what interests..."

"Take the city of Shenyang and give up Liaoning Province..." Chief of Staff Koiki Aki was like a hero cutting off his arm. He replied firmly.

If this sentence was said by Lieutenant General Koisaki a day ago, General Honjo Shinobu, as the commander-in-chief of the Kanto Army, would surely enforce military laws immediately. In the name of traitors and disrupting the morale of the army, Lieutenant General Koisaki was shot dead.

However, now hearing this sentence, General Honjo Shin-sou did not feel that the Chief of Staff was selling the interests of the Kwantung Army. Because he knew the strength of the Kwantung Army's old rival, the Ninth Army, and the predicament that the Kwantung Army was currently in.

However, Commander-in-Chief Honjo Shizuki knew that it did not mean that other officers of the headquarters knew. As soon as Koiki Aki finished his voice, a series of curses began to sound in the war room. More than a dozen command officers who were indignant in the army, regardless of the identity of Chief of Staff Koiki Aki, cursed...

"Baga, Chief of Staff, you are betraying the interests of the Kanto Army of the Imperial Japanese Empire..."

"No, no matter what, we cannot give up Shenyang. Liaoning... This is the land that our great Japanese Empire has worked hard to occupy. We must not let a single shot and take the initiative to give it to the Chinese... At worst, we will fight the Chinese in Shenyang City. Our great Japanese Empire Kwantung Army has never been afraid of fighting or death on the battlefield..."

"Chief of Staff. Do you know what you are talking about... Are you still a senior officer of the Great Japanese Empire and a samurai of the Great Japanese Empire? Taking the initiative to give up Liaoning Province, this is simply a shame for my Great Japanese Empire Kanto Army... Even if I report to the military headquarters above the level, I don't agree to give up Shenyang City and Liaoning Province that my Kanto Army has occupied..."

Facing the responsibilities of his colleagues and subordinates, Chief of Staff Koiki Aki's face quickly turned red. Although reason told him that this was the only way to get the Kwantung Army out of the immediate dilemma and rely on the minimum loss to obtain the greatest benefit. However, the so-called two fists were difficult to get the fourth move. Facing the attacks of more than a dozen colleagues, Koiki Aki did not have any chance even if he wanted to speak to defend himself.

At this moment, the commander-in-chief Honjo Honjo's voice was filled with majestic voice, like a timely rain, sounding in the war room, helping Chief of Staff Koiki Kyoto resolve the current predicament and embarrassment...

"Baga, shut up..."

"Look at what you are doing now, are you still senior officers of the Great Japanese Empire? Are you the commander of my Kwantung Army?... Have you all forgotten that my Kwantung Army is in a critical moment of life and death..."

The incisive roar of Honjo Ho quickly calmed down the noisy atmosphere in the war room. The dozen officers who were still indignant just now also lowered their heads with a red face because of shame.

In order to help the Chief of Staff improve his prestige in the army and to ensure that the Chief of Staff’s next ideas can be passed, the angry General Honjo Shizuo did not intend to let these dozen officers go like this.

With a strong anger, he continued to roar: "Of course, if anyone thinks he has a way to help me overcome the current predicament, then you can speak. But if there is no way, just shut up your mouth and listen to the Chief of Staff finishing his words. It's not too late to speak... Otherwise, don't blame me for using military law to everyone..."

After saying that, his pair of murderous eyes were covered by expectations again. After turning his eyes to the Chief of Staff who had hope, he spoke: "Chief of Staff, you continue to say it. As long as there are sufficient reasons, I, Honjo Shizuka, support you unconditionally..."

"Thank you, Commander..." Lieutenant General Koi Iso, who bowed deeply to General Shinto Honjo, and held the attitude of dying for his confidant, thanked him sincerely with a look of gratitude.

Then, he took everyone to the large-scale combat map hanging on the wall and spoke: "Your Excellency Commander, my colleagues, according to the last information sent by Anshan, the Chinese team that raided Anshan was equipped with at least two heavy artillery regiments, one tank regiment, and one aviation division that could be supported at any time..."

Seeing everyone nodding without comment, Koikiki Akira changed his words and asked back to everyone: "Do you know what does it mean to have so many technical troops?"

Compared with the confusion and confusion on the faces of his subordinates, the Commander-in-Chief Honjo Hashi had already shown a thoughtful expression on his face. He waved his hand to Chief of Staff Koiki Kōaki, signaling the other party to stop for a while, and spoke: "Chief of Staff, I will answer this question, and you can see if it is correct."

After saying that, before Koi Iso Kyoko could speak, he continued to speak: "According to the Special High School's investigation of the Liaodong Peninsula, there are only three main divisions of the Ninth Army stationed in the entire Liaodong Peninsula. Now, just from the artillery, armored tank soldiers, and air force exposed, there are far more than three divisions..."

"So. Our special high school classes have always been kept in the dark by the Ninth Army, which was stationed on the Liaodong Peninsula. The main force of the Ninth Army, the number one enemy of our Kwantung Army, did not hold military exercises in Shandong as everyone imagined. Instead, using the exercises as an excuse to secretly mobilize troops, gather all the main forces on the Liaodong Peninsula, and launch an attack on our Kwantung Army at any time..."

"Since the main force of the Ninth Army of China has entered the Liaodong Peninsula, then judge based on the size of the Ninth Army and the ratio of various technical troops. The Chinese Ninth Army of China, who raided Anshan and prepared to continue attacking Shenyang, besides the various technical troops introduced by the Chief of Staff, at least two main divisions cooperated..."

"Two main divisions... Two heavy artillery regiments... At least one tank regiment's armored forces... At least one aviation division's air support..." Faced with the judgment of Commander-in-Chief General Honjo Shinobu, all the officers' faces turned pale because of this result.

At this moment, Chief of Staff Koikiki Aki pointed to the map hanging on the wall and continued to speak: "Huizhi fully supports the commander's judgment, and is preparing to attack the Chinese Ninth Army, which is very strong..."

Speaking of this, a bitter expression slowly appeared on Koiki Kyoko's face. He continued to speak to everyone: "Next, I'll introduce to you the situation of the troops stockpiled by my Kanto Army in Liaoning Province..."

"According to the military deployment of the Kwantung Army headquarters to the three northeastern provinces: our Kwantung Army has sent a total of the 8th Division under the Kwantung Army to Liaoning Province, specifically used to fight against the Second Division of the Ninth Army, and deployed 6,000 local garrisons and security forces in Liaoning Province in advance. All the troops are combined, a total of 50,000 people..."

"The 50,000 army seems to be a lot. But what I want to say is that among these 50,000 people, a brigade stationed in Anshan has been broken... A brigade stationed in Fengcheng cannot be mobilized in order to threaten the Ninth Army stationed in Andong. Therefore, in the entire Liaoning Province, the total force we can mobilize is less than 30,000 troops..."

When Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Koisaki was about to continue to introduce his combat ideas to everyone, a young and powerful officer with the rank of major general walked out without caring about his identity as Lieutenant General Koisaki.

He interrupted: "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, I believe that the 30,000 elite Japanese Empire can completely block the offensive of the Chinese Ninth Army and defend Liaoning Province..."

"Yes, the elite of the 30,000 imperial team can win even against the 100,000 Chinese team, not to mention the Ninth Army of the Chinese Ninth Army with less than 30,000 people... The Deputy Chief of Staff is right, we must defend Liaoning Province and Shenyang City..."

"There are only warriors of the Great Japanese Empire who died in battle, and no retreating imperial warriors. As long as the 30,000 elite soldiers of the Empire use their lives, they can completely block the Ninth Army of China with their terrain. At that time, as long as the three field divisions reinforced by the domestic forces arrive at the battlefield, we can not only defend Liaoning Province, but also drive the Ninth Army of China out of the Liaodong Peninsula and completely occupy the three northeastern provinces."

Without the support of Commander-in-Chief Honjo, Koiki Aki could still tolerate the questioning of his subordinates. However, with the support of Commander-in-Chief, as the deputy chief of staff, he completely ignored his superiority and questioned his own decision in front of so many people. Even if Chief of Staff Koiki Aki, no matter how generous he is, he cannot bear it...

He stared at his murderous eyes and walked directly to the major general and deputy chief of staff, and slapped the other party several times without hesitation. He stopped until the other party's cheek was beaten to the point of being ashen with his hands.

Then, he cursed mercilessly at the Major General Deputy Chief of Staff who looked dissatisfied in front of him: "Baga, Major General Qingshui, don't forget your identity. Is there anyone who talks to the superior like this? Let me tell you that just because of your disrespect to the superior just now, I have reason to send you to the military court and completely deprive you of your military career..."

It was not until this moment that Major General Qingshui, who looked humiliated, suddenly woke up. Now he was in the imperial team with a strict hierarchy, not a military academy. Suddenly, beads of sweat as big as beans quickly flowed down Major General Qingshui's forehead.

To the angry chief of staff in front of him, he spoke guiltily: "Please forgive me, Chief of Staff. I was a humble act just now, and I had no intention of offending the chief of staff at all. Please calm down..."

Having said that, Koi Iso Kyosaki's mood seemed to have improved a lot.

After breathing a sigh of relief, he asked calmly: "You are right just now. If the 30,000 elite troops in the Empire are used properly, they can indeed block the attacking troops of the Ninth Army. However, if you want to fight this battle well, you must have a prerequisite... As a senior officer of the Empire, do you know what this condition is?"

At this time, Major General Shimizu had only one idea in his mind, which was to seek the forgiveness of the Chief of Staff. In this case, he had no mood or mind to think about these things. Facing the Chief of Staff Koi Iso Kyosaki's replies, he was afraid of annoying the chief in front of him again, so he quickly replied: "Report to the Chief, please forgive me for being humble and stupid..."

Surprisingly, just when Major General Shimizu thought that his concessions would win the Chief of Staff’s forgiveness, an accident happened...

Major General Shimizu's answer aroused the dissatisfaction of Chief of Staff Koiki Aki. Chief of Staff, whose face had just calmed down, roared in front of Major General Shimizu, who was full of anger again, and said, "Nani, don't know..."

"Bageyalu, I don't know anything. What's the use of my Kwantung Army General Command asking you as the deputy chief of staff... Since I don't know anything, what reason do you have to refuse my deployment just now? Don't tell me. Your opposition just now is just your temporary intention, and there is no reason or evidence to convince the commander-in-chief.

It was not until this moment that Major General Qingshui realized that the Chief of Staff in front of him not only did not forgive him, but also dug a trap for him that would never be restored.

As for the colleagues around him, their faces also showed a look of fear of the Chief of Staff. Because no matter what Lieutenant General Koi Iso thought, in everyone's eyes, the Chief of Staff's series of actions were definitely to kill the chicken and make a warning to others, and to warn himself with the Deputy Chief of Staff Major General Shimizu...

Sure enough, before Major General Shimizu made a defense, Chief of Staff Koiki Aki's murderous voice sounded again in the war room: "Commander-in-Chief, I think that Major General Shimizu is no longer suitable to serve as deputy staff officer in the General Command..."

General Honjo Shin-sou still wants to sell the face of the Chief of Staff. Besides, at this moment, General Honjo Shin-sou had his only hope on the Chief of Staff.

Therefore, without thinking, he spoke up and said, "I agree..."

After saying that, a sharp look quickly swept around the remaining subordinates and ordered: "Major General Qingshui, from now on, you are no longer the deputy chief of staff of the Imperial Kanto Army. So, now you are no longer qualified to stand here..."

With a decadent look on his face, Major General Shimizu, who had just gotten aged several years in an instant, walked out of the war room. General Shinto Honjo said again: "Okay, Chief of Staff, the problem that should be solved has been solved, you can continue..."

"Hayi..." After the headquarters quickly established its authority, Lieutenant General Koi Iso answered very satisfied.

Back in front of the combat map, he continued to speak: "Sir, my colleagues, I have just introduced that the entire Liaodong Peninsula has only 30,000 troops."

"However, because the Special High School's insufficient estimate of the Ninth Army, it was not expected that the Ninth Army would launch an attack on us at this time. The 30,000 elite troops entering Liaoning have been completely dispersed, occupying the entire territory of Liaoning Province with squadrons and brigades as units..."

"According to the caller ID of the 8th Division Commander's Regiment: In Chenyang City, except for the 8th Division Command, there are only three guard brigades, one guard brigade, one baggage brigade, and one field artillery brigade, with a total strength of only 7,000 people..."

"The large area leading to Anshan from Shenyang is only two infantry brigades of the Eighth Division are active here..."

"The 15th Brigade of the Eighth Division has been besieged Jinzhou again as ordered, responsible for blocking the Northeast Army from leaving the customs and returning to the major transportation routes of the three northeastern provinces. Therefore, in a short period of time, the 15th Brigade was unable to reinforce the front line..."

"In addition to these troops, the remaining four infantry brigades, cavalry gangs, and chariot gangs of the 8th Division are all in the North Manchuria area. Even if you receive the order to reinforce Chenyang City, it will take at least two days..."

"Do you know what this means in two days... With the combat effectiveness of the Ninth Army armored cluster in Anshan, one day is enough for them to break through Liaoyang and their troops are at the foot of Chenyang..."

"In other words, before the North Manchurian reinforcements arrived in Chenyang, Chenyang was already trapped in the enemy..."

"Since that's the case, why do we have to spend such a huge price to defend a city that cannot be defended at all... Instead of doing this, it's better to take the initiative to give up Chenyang, give up Liaoning Province, and concentrate troops at the junction of Liaoning and Jilin. Turn the entire Liaoning Province into a battlefield, and completely trap the attacking troops of the Ninth Army in Liaoning Province, and ensure that our Kwantung Army's Ninth and Fifteenth Divisions will successfully occupy Jilin and Heilongjiang provinces."

General Hun Zhuang's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood the great benefits of this hero's cut-off arm to the Kwantung Army. He spoke with satisfaction at Lieutenant General Koi Iso Kwantung, "Yo Xi, very good, Chief of Staff, you are the hero of my Kwantung Army... But this only blocked the attacking forces of the Ninth Army, and I don't know what I thought about the Ninth Army that had forced the Yalu River."

"Hayi..." Koiki Akira replied affirmatively.

"Since our Kwantung Army has voluntarily given up Chenyang, Liaoning, then there is no need for Fengcheng to continue to stick to it. We can order the Fourth Brigade stationed in Fengcheng to move south quickly and launch an attack on Andong, threaten the rear of the Ninth Army in the Xinyizhou area, and force it to retreat..."
