Okamura attributed the main reasons for the failure of Xi'an and the fall of North China to the insufficient aviation force of the Japanese army. However, he attributed the reasons for the failure of the war to the Japanese base camp "not enhancing aviation force in accordance with the requests of the dispatched troops and the North China Front", which was absolutely unacceptable to Chief of Staff Sora Sugiyama and other generals of the army! In addition, the suggestion of Okamura to let the Kwantung Army abandon Manchuria and the dispatched troops abandon Central China, Jianghuai and other places directly contacted the reverse scales of the army, which caused his summary report to cause an uproar among the Japanese top leaders as soon as it was released!

Faced with the "fallacies" issued by Okamura, Sugiyama was furious and even forced him to apologize! The hats such as "shirking the blame for defeat" and "coward who evades responsibility" were directly held onto Okamura!

The army sent people to criticize Okamura, and although the naval generals were busy trying to increase their troops in Manchuria, they could not help but gloat in private. In particular, Navy chief Nagao Cunyi felt that Okamura's proposal was quite in line with the navy's appetite and did not want the "apart" in the army to disappear. So he sneered at the base camp meeting: "As the commander of the front army, Okamura's words were a bit harsh, but they were also considering the overall situation of the empire in the future, and their minds were not necessarily bad! Besides, if the imperial generals were defeated by the hands of the People's Party armed forces, they would probably have to have a caesarean section, and Okamura's turn would not be the first one!"

Nagano's words not only made Hideki Tojo frown, but also made the cheeky Sugiyama Yuan's face flushed in anger!

Sugiyama Sora was the second commander of the North China Front Army. During his tenure, he was attacked by the People's Party's armed forces. Not only did the Japanese army lose Suiyuan, northern Shanxi, northern Shandong and other places, but even the Japanese divisions stationed in Mongolia and northern Shandong and other places suffered serious losses. If Nagano said, if he was defeated by the People's Party's armed forces, he would have to have a caesarean section, and then Sugiyama Sora could not escape!

As the first commander of the North China Front Army, Takaichi Teraunuchi, who was the commander of the Southern Army, could not escape the same fate. After all, in his tenure, the 10th Division was completely wiped out by the guards in the Battle of Jinan, which was the first record of the Japanese elite permanent division being completely wiped out!

"The responsibility for defeat and losing North China is different! However, the situation in Manchuria is now critical, and it is not the time to hold people accountable! Okamura-kun's problem is left to be discussed later!" Seeing that Sugiyama Moto and Nagano's self-cultivation are about to have another dispute. Hideki Tojo said sternly first, "What the empire needs is the land, the navy joins hands to safeguard the interests of the empire's continent and break the British and American colonists' rule in Asia, and jointly create a great East Asia and prosper together! It is not the army, the navy criticizes each other and destroys the state!"

The attack of Tojo caused a silence at the base camp meeting. Among the two big bosses of Lu and Navy, Sugiyama Moto clenched his fists and his face turned red due to shame and anger, while Nagano's slim expression was calm.

"What feasible solutions do you guys do you have?" Seeing the scene of suppression, Hideki Tojo led the problem to the current crisis in Manchuria.

"Now the Far East ports are frozen, and the relevant ports of North Korea and Manchuria have been seriously damaged by enemy air force bombing. Navy transport ships have also suffered local air force attacks in the adjacent waters, losing some ships. If the enemy's air superiority cannot be curbed, the navy will find it difficult to complete the task of increasing the number of troops to Manchuria in the short term." Deputy Chief of Military Command Ito Kazuichi said with a face full of embarrassment, "If the main force of the navy and air force is drawn from Southeast Asia, Australia and the Central Pacific, it will be no problem to complete the task of transporting troops and reinforcement of Manchuria. But in this way, it will completely lose the empire's advantages in several strategic directions, giving the British and American allies an opportunity to take advantage of the big."

"Not only that! The Chinese People's Party armed forces have only developed limited maritime power in Shannan that has not yet been tested in actual combat. However, the British, the United States and other allies have strong enough maritime power. In terms of the threat to the local Empire and the interests in Southeast Asia, Britain, the United States and other countries are far greater than the Chinese People's Party armed forces!" Nagano cleverly expressed his firm attitude in time, "In order to maintain the limited advantages of the empire in Southeast Asia, Australia's direction towards Britain and the United States, we must never draw the main force of the navy and air force!

You're welcome to say that if Manchuria is gone, the empire will still be able to continue to support the rich materials from Southeast Asia. But if the oil from Southeast Asia is gone, the empire's fleet will lose its power in less than a few months! And the British and American Allied naval guns can bombard the empire's land!"

Ito Kazuichi and Nagano Simplicity Singer. They took the lead in expressing the Navy's attitude, and proposed to first ban the army's members to draw forces from Southeast Asia and Australia!

Hideki Tojo also knew that Nanyang and Australia had a great relationship with Japan now, and it was not the time to draw power from there. So he looked at Nagano and Ito, then turned around and asked, "What do the General Staff have to do with resolving the Manchurian crisis?"

Deputy General Staff Minister Moriwu Tanabe pushed his glasses on his nose and said carefully: "After capturing Harbin, Taonan and other places, the enemy did not continue to advance to the heart of Manchuria due to severe cold weather and logistical concerns. It can be said that although the Manchuria crisis still exists, its urgency has decreased.

Based on the current situation, in order to resolve the Manchuria crisis, the General Staff has formulated three plans:

First, the Kwantung Army ordered it to recruit personnel from the expatriates on the spot to form a new division, and use the winter truce to speed up training to play a role in subsequent battles with the enemy!

Second, seize the time to restore the use of highway traffic in the eastern port of North Korea and the railway to Manchuria. When the large-scale wind and snow weather that will inevitably occur in Manchuria in winter comes, take advantage of the favorable opportunity that the enemy air force cannot dispatch, and the navy will send ships to the eastern port of North Korea to quickly increase its troop transport!”

Tanabe Morito hesitated, but continued: "Third, a certain number of new fighter jets produced by the Empire in winter will be allocated, and air forces will be equipped to the direction of Manchuria. By strengthening the Kwantung Army's aviation force, curbing the enemy's air superiority, and as much as possible, the Empire will avoid new adverse situations in the future fight against the People's Party!"

As early as after the end of the Russo-Japanese War, Japan began to immigrate to Northeast China in a planned manner. After the September 18th Incident, the Japanese army controlled the three northeastern provinces, and the speed of immigration further accelerated. In August 2016, Japan's Hirota Cabinet officially announced that it would make immigration to Northeast China one of Japan's "seven major national policies", and clearly proposed an immigration plan to take 20 years from 37 years to make the total number of Japanese immigrants in Northeast China reach one million households and five million people.

In the original history, when Japan was defeated and surrendered, there were more than 6.29 million Japanese troops and Japanese expatriates stranded overseas, and more than 2.37 million were in Northeast China, accounting for more than one-third!

Although Japan's so-called Manchuria-Mongolia immigration plan has not been fully implemented due to many reasons such as war, at present, in addition to the Kwantung Army, the Japanese expatriates living in Northeast China are roughly estimated to be more than 1.5 million. From such a large population base, it is entirely possible to recruit 80,000 to 100,000 young and strong men to join the Kwantung Army!

The Japanese were busy holding meetings here to resolve the Manchurian crisis, while the People's Army that captured Qiqihar, Harbin, Taonan and other places were busy repairing relevant railways and highway facilities, and using the severe cold weather to "pour" defensive constructions with ice water and relevant building materials. However, in Qiqihar, Guo Cheng and others were holding a farewell party for the transfer of Huang Tiancheng and the airborne troops.

Huang Tiancheng shook hands with Guo Cheng, Lu Zhencheng, Liu Haidong and others one by one, and said with regret: "After this battle, everyone can fight a few more games outside the pass. We can't wait to recover the three northeastern provinces! At that time, please kill a few more Japanese for us!"

"Without airborne troops raiding Qiqihar and seizing this crucial foothold, we cannot lead the war to the central area of ​​the Kwantung Army so quickly, and we must not occupy Harbin and open the two transportation channels, Zhongdong Road and Qi-Tao! In the battle to recapture the three northeastern provinces, airborne troops are well-deserved first achievements!" Guo Cheng said with great affirmation, "As for future operations, Tiancheng, don't worry, with the teacher's previous teachings, our army has never had the habit of letting go of the Japanese!"

Seeing that Huang Tiancheng was a little regretful, Lu Zhen half-jokingly said, "I said Tiancheng. The airborne troops are fighting so well, and I really can't bear to leave you! Otherwise, we will call the teacher together and how about keeping you?"

"Old Lu, don't do anything randomly!" Huang Tiancheng waved his hand and said, "It's a pity that we can't continue to fight the Japanese here. But at the beginning of the establishment of the airborne troops, the gentleman said, 'Parasites are born surrounded'. Now, the two key footholds of Qiqihar and Harbin have been opened, and the two transportation channels have been opened and will not take long to put into use. The large army has also come up, and the Japanese have been beaten to death by our army, so it's time to switch to other sides. This is determined by different combat methods among the troops! Besides, there is a special lieutenant here, and the aircraft landing battles within a short distance. Haidong and others are better at it!"

Parachute troops can maneuver through transport aircraft, which is conducive to long-distance raiding of enemy rears and opening up a new battlefield. Within a close range, the helicopter troops of the Special Column can exert their power. Especially with the two footholds of Qiqihar and Harbin, the Special Column can fully utilize the jumping tactics, launching attacks on the enemy in depth at a distance of two or three hundred kilometers each time. Even Changchun, a heavy Japanese and puppet area, would not have had heavy troops there, now it would have been included in the Special Column strike range!

"I said brothers, Tiancheng and others are now ordered to be transferred. This must be another task for the sir. There is still a chance to see you again in the future!" Liu Haidong smiled carelessly, "The airborne troops are a sharp blade that attacks the enemy's heart. I just don't know where your umbrella will bloom next time? Maybe we will also rush over and join in the fun!"

"We just received an order to return to Lanzhou. The follow-up tasks still need to be further clarified by Mr. Yu and the headquarters." Huang Tiancheng laughed and said, "We are 'a backpack and a gun, and we walk around the world with auspicious clouds'. As long as we can fight with the Japanese, we can stab them in a critical position in the depths. No matter where we go, it will be happy!"

After the farewell party, Huang Tiancheng led two airborne divisions to arrive at Lanzhou Airport in batches by transport planes. As soon as they landed at the airport, Huang Tiancheng and the officers and soldiers of the two airborne divisions met Zhao Zhenzhong, Zhou Mingyuan, Jiang Yishan and other leaders of the People's Army headquarters waiting there.

Huang Tiancheng hurriedly came up and asked excitedly: "Sir, Chief of Staff Zhou and Director Jiang, why are you all coming to the airport in this cold weather?"

"Although the weather in Lanzhou is cold, it is not cold outside the pass! The soldiers of the airborne troops can brave the severe cold of more than minus 30 degrees below the pass, and successfully inserted two sharp knives in the heart of the Kwantung Army to make the first contribution to our army's recovery of the three northeastern provinces! The soldiers returned triumphantly, what's wrong with us?" Zhao Zhenzhong shook Huang Tiancheng's hand vigorously and laughed, "In the future, Director Jiang will issue a commendation order to the meritorious units and individuals of the participating troops to express their gratitude to the war! When you look back, you have a good rest for more than a month, and there will be important tasks to give you!"

Huang Tiancheng pulled his hand back, patted his chest, and said with great enthusiasm: "The cold outside the pass can't do anything to us. As long as we have a task and can fight the Japanese, we can start now!"

"That's different! Next, you will join the Shannan War Zone and fight in Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangxi and other places in the south, and even Annan, Myanmar, Thailand and other places in Southeast Asia. From the severe winter season of the white mountains and black waters, you suddenly enter the southern country like spring and summer. It's impossible to adapt without a period of time!" Zhao Zhenzhong smiled and pounded Huang Tiancheng twice, and said, "The severe cold outside the pass is not conducive to our army's large-scale combat, but we can't let the Japanese calm down, right? Then stab him a few more times in the south!"

"Oh! This relationship is great!" Huang Tiancheng was excited and said with his eyes lit up. "These efforts from both north and south are exerting force, and the Japanese will not be able to jump around for a few days after the autumn grasshoppers! When the Kwantung Army is defeated next year and the dispatched troops in Jiangnan are eliminated, it will be not far from the domestic unification!"

"If the Japanese army is really destroyed, the solution of the Chongqing authorities and other forces in China is even more troublesome, and it is not that simple! Let's talk about these later!" Zhao Zhenzhong changed the topic and asked, "How is Elthop and the more than a thousand Allied prisoners of war now?"

"The prisoners of war were just transported outside the pass, and they were very thin and extremely weak. In addition to a few people who had been injected with unknown injections by the Japanese army for ** experiments, some people were not used to the severe cold outside the pass. However, with the medical staff accompanying the military, they basically would not worry about their lives." When talking about the prisoners of war, Huang Tiancheng remembered his experience at the headquarters of the 731st Army, and he couldn't help but grit his teeth and said, "Sir, the Japanese devils in the 731st Army are worse than beasts. It is not an exaggeration to cut Kitano Masaji and others!" (To be continued.
