Army Governor Nanjiro, Navy Governor Anbao Qingzhong, Chief of Staff Headquarters Kanaya Norizo, and Prince Zain all looked at the telegram sent from Fengtian with solemn expressions.
What I thought would be smooth sailing did not expect that such a bizarre turn would occur.
Nanjiro and Kanaya Norizo looked at each other.
Then Kanaya Norizan said, "Your Excellency Prime Minister, I have contacted the Kwantung Army Headquarters.
This matter was instigated by the officers and soldiers below themselves in advance.
It was completely unexpected.
The empire did not gain anything in Northeast China. .At this time, the 4th Regiment and the 2nd Cavalry Regiment had already captured.
We arrived in Changchun without encountering much fierce resistance.
We must know that the Chinese army stationed in Changchun exceeded 8,000 people and had 36 field artillery pieces.
If they resisted resolutely, the strength of the third brigade would not be able to defeat the Chinese army. , but now the Third Brigade captured Changchun with less than fifty casualties. " "And the empire has contacted Qia Xi, the acting governor of Jilin in Changchun.
Qia Xi is a friendly person of the empire.
It has been confirmed that Nanjing and Zhang Xueliang have indeed issued an order not to resist, so I think Fengtian's resistance is just Fengtianshou.
The autonomous actions of the Northeast Army were not allowed by Zhang Xueliang, the commander-in-chief of the Northeast Army.
The Chinese Nanjing government and Zhang Xueliang were essentially war-phobic.
At this time, they still placed their hope in the League of Nations.
I think the empire can just do it.
Taking advantage of this loss and taking the opportunity to further expand the war is to save the empire's face, and secondly, to seize the entire Northeast China.
After all, with Zhang Xueliang unwilling to resist, the small group of China defenders cannot affect the overall situation.
I think. , As long as we can capture Northeast China, not to mention an infantry regiment, even one or two divisions are worth it.
And judging from the current situation, one or two divisions are enough to determine the ownership of Northeast China."
Minister of War Minamijiro said with twinkling eyes that Japan was founded on the navy.
Inukai Takeshi's natural means of disarmament mostly fell on the army.
Japan's land and sea war has been going on for a long time.
He would never want to see the army weakened again, and this time The September 18th Incident is the best excuse for military expansion.
By seizing Northeast China, the Army's strength will expand dramatically.
"I think that as long as the Nanjing government of China and Zhang Xueliang insist on non-resistance, this war can be controlled within the ideal range, and it is acceptable to pay some price to capture Northeast China.
Moreover, now that the war has started, the Kwantung Army has lost one unit.
Team, if we stop here, the empire will suffer great humiliation internationally," Prince Zai Ren also said.
"I'm not against this, but the spontaneous actions of the lower-level officers below cannot be controlled, making the work of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs very passive.
We can't all of us here be led by the nose by the soldiers and lower-level officers below.
Now that we have unified caliber, then increase the number of troops in Northeast China.
"The minority obeys the majority, not to mention that Prince Zairen represents the royal family behind it to a certain extent.
It is not that Inukai Yi does not want to capture Northeast China, he just does not want to spend an excessive price.
In Nan Santaizi, the water of the Hun River flows.
It is a bit cold on the bank of the Hun River in the early morning.
Jiang Li took a handful of water and washed his face.
At this time, fires were being made all over the camp.
The civilian men organized by Wang Sanpao had not been able to blow up the railway, but now they were helping to build fortifications and cooking. help.
"These bastards" Jiang Li was in an extremely bad mood after receiving the news that Changchun had been lost.
The situation in Changchun was somewhat similar to Fengtian.
The more than 8,000 defenders were actually captured by a Japanese infantry regiment.
What's more important is that the Japanese army can see the weakness of Northeast China through Changchun, and Zhang Xueliang's resolute non-resistance mentality.
"Regiment seat, brigade artillery regiment, 12 38-type 75 mountain guns and 12 75 field guns captured from the Japanese army have been transported.
In addition, a 240 mortar gun has been transported."
Yang Biao reported to Jiang Li .

Jiang Li nodded and strode towards Xiao Weiguo, who was directing the soldiers to set up artillery.
"Captain Jiang."
Xiao Weiguo, whose face was a little gray, grinned when he saw Jiang Li.
"Old Xiao, can you use that big guy?"
Jiang Li asked.
"In the 2nd Independent Garrison Brigade, I saw the Japanese artillery measuring some data from its station to the Peking University Camp.
I can get a 70-80% image by following the same pattern, but I dare not guarantee the accuracy."
Xiao Weiguo said truthfully, after all, there is no Having used such a large-caliber artillery for the first time, it was inevitable that I felt a little guilty.
Jiang Li looked at the Japanese army opposite and took a breath and said, "Looking at the posture of the Japanese army, they are preparing to join the main force of the Kwantung Army before attacking, or they are waiting for reinforcements from North Korea.
We cannot wait any longer.
While the Kwantung Army is now The firepower is insufficient, so I urge you to attack and kill the Kwantung Army as much as possible, otherwise the Japanese army will become more numerous and the subsequent battle will be difficult to fight.
The Second Division has a heavy artillery brigade in Lushun.
When will our heavy artillery be shipped?
arrive" Xiao Weiguo nodded, looked at his pocket watch, and said confidently, "I have already called the arsenal.
It will take more than an hour.
We have transferred 12 75-meter mountain guns and 24 150-weight mortars and howitzers from there. , but the number of artillery pieces of our army is far greater than that of the Kwantung Army.
The artillery battle will not embarrass you, Commander Jiang. " No wonder Xiao Weiguo is so confident.
The standard equipment of a Japanese division is 48 artillery pieces.
The Kwantung Army division is only equipped with a heavy artillery brigade, which may have tanks.
However, at the Dongta Airport, the Northeast Army also has an 8-piece artillery unit.
A chariot company.
Already on the way to be mobilized.
"Prepare as many 60 and 82 mortars as possible for the following.
The maximum range of the Japanese grenade can reach 700 meters, and the accuracy is extremely high.
The killing radius reaches eight meters.
It can easily destroy our army's light and heavy machine guns.
And it will cause great damage to the infantry.
Mortars must be used to suppress the Japanese grenade, otherwise you and I will not be able to bear the casualties.
The Kwantung Army division is just the first wave of enemies.
We still have a fierce battle ahead. beat."
Jiang Li reminded that the artillery of the 7th Brigade was already severely overstaffed at this time.
The temporary preparation of mortars was a bit of a rush, but the mortars were better because they were light and powerful.
Even if the accuracy of the soldiers was not high at first, they could still use them.
Indiscriminate strikes can always have a certain effect.
What Fengtian City lacks now is not weapons, but troops that can be drawn out to fight.
Xiao Weiguo nodded.
He had seen Japanese military exercises and was deeply impressed by the sharp Japanese grenades.
At this time, Jiang Li specifically mentioned it, and Xiao Weiguo also took a higher look at Jiang Li.
"When I'm not around in the next few days, the command on the battlefield will be left to you, Lao Xiao."
Jiang Li said.
"Where is Commander Jiang going?"
Xiao Weiguo asked in shock.
"When fighting the Japanese army, you cannot follow the rules.
If you want to quickly defeat the main force of the Kwantung Army, you have to use extraordinary means.
The Japanese army rushed to Fengtian in a hurry.

There must be a lot of baggage that they cannot carry with them.
I will blow up the train coming behind.
If possible, Taking Liaoyang City, Lao Xiao, you can fight here more easily.
"Jiang Li said with a smile.
In the eyes of him, a professional soldier, the Japanese army had too many weaknesses exposed in its haste.
It's just that they don't have enough cards in their hands now.
Otherwise, even if they give him one more brigade with four to five thousand people, they will be in trouble in Korea.
Before the reinforcements arrive, they can also eat the main force of the Kwantung Army.
Unfortunately, they are not strong enough, so now they can only find another way.
Xiao Weiguo nodded heavily and looked to the southeast, at the battlefield that was about to unfold.
But Jiang Li's attention drifted to the far west.
History is not so easy to change.
If the Japanese army is determined to invade the Northeast, Fengtian cannot hold it.
While fighting the Japanese army, Jiang Li is also thinking about the direction of the future resistance against Japan. .
At this time, Jiang Li already had a plan in mind, that is, the West, northern Shaanxi, would use this war to hold back the Japanese army, and then transfer the arsenal and the food reserves in Fengtian City.
Rebuilding the arsenal in northern Shaanxi will rely on the iron mines in Baotou and the coal mines in northern Shaanxi.
There is also oil in Shaanxi and Xinjiang.
There are all the material conditions to resist Japan.
Unlike the vast plains of North China, which could not stop the Japanese mechanized troops, there was no need to worry about restraint from Chiang Kai-shek and Zhang Xueliang.
There are still nearly six years left before the all-out war of resistance, so the arsenal must be moved as soon as possible and use these precious six years to build a relatively complete military production system in northern Shaanxi to lay the foundation for the future war of resistance.
Even if it is just to rebuild the Fengtian Arsenal in Shaanxi, it is a huge victory compared to history.
An arsenal with an annual output of almost 100,000 rifles, hundreds of millions of bullets, and hundreds of artillery pieces means to the country that it inflicts more casualties on the Japanese army every year, and no longer has to use flesh and blood to resist the Japanese army's aircraft and artillery
