When the commander of the Manchuria and Mongolian Expeditionary Force requested the headquarters to send the documents of the merger of the two commands back to Tokyo, Japan, the streets of Tokyo, Japan were already lively. Even during the war, the Japanese people were excited about regaining the results of Pyongyang. The Tokyo government also felt that it could appropriately organize a lantern parade to ease the depressed atmosphere.

The Tokyo citizens who received the news were busy preparing. Most of the Tokyo situations were preparing for their outing clothes and lanterns, and some were confused and trying to find out where the Tokyo Chinese live and organize people to make an impact.

Fortunately, this kind of gangster is a minority after all, and people around him who are not so gangsters told these guys, "The newspapers say that the government has arrested all Chinese people in Japan and sent them to the North 6 to be detained in a concentrated manner."

The bastards were quite disappointed to learn that there was no Chinese in Tokyo at this time. Someone suggested whether to go to North 6 to detain Chinese people and express their patriotism by beating Chinese people.

This time, even reminded the people who were absent-ball team to stop. If these guys were going to North 6 to attack the concentration camps guarded by the army, let them go. At least after these people were arrested, the streets would be much more purified.

As the evening approached, the police chief of the town where the Photon family was located personally arrived at the Photon family. He expressed his opinion very politely, "Madam Morita, if you are fine tonight, please rest early."

Mrs. Morita quickly bowed and replied, "For the concern of the Director, we will never go out today."

The police chief had long heard that Morita's family was not arrogant and was more harmonious with his neighbors. After more contact with each other during this period, he was even sure that Mrs. Morita was not a person who did not understand importance. So he stood up and said goodbye. When both parties stood up, Photon also gave the director a small jute bag.

When they arrived in the alley, the director opened it and looked at it. It contained two packs of 4-square-grade cigarettes and a box of matches. For the director, such a gift was not worth much, but this attitude was welcomed by the director. Although the Morita family entered the upper class because they met He Rui, the war hero Major General Ishihara Kanir personally came forward and became the protector of the Morita family.

Now Major General Ishihara appears more and more frequently in newspapers, and the people have a good evaluation of him. The director respects Major General Ishihara very much, especially when he saw the news introducing Major General Ishihara that Major General Ishihara's father is the local police chief. This makes him feel more intimate.

Since Major General Ishihara wants to protect Morita's family, the police chief is happy to come occasionally to take care of Morita's family.

At night, the street lights in Tokyo were on. People on the streets were carrying various lanterns and walking on the streets of Tokyo. The sound of clogs stepping on the road seemed like small drum beats, gathering into rumbling drum sounds. Every Tokyo citizen who participated in the lantern parade was really looking forward to the victory of the Japanese army, whether it was to demonstrate the Japanese power, to cede land from China for compensation, or simply to expect life to be better after the war ended. The idea of ​​Tokyo citizens looking forward to victory is the same.

There was no violent conflict, and even the pickpockets did not choose today as the opening day. After all, after three months of mobilization, everyone's pockets were deflated. Now those who came out to carry the lantern parade were afraid that they didn't even bring their wallets.

In the 6th Army Building outside Sakurada Gate, the camp officials in the base camp were not so busy. They stood at the window and watched the lights like stars falling on the ground. The hostility accumulated due to the war gradually faded. In fact, the generals had already looked out at the conference room window at the beginning of the lantern parade. At this time, they sat back in their seats and discussed whether to merge the two headquarters in the fog of cigarettes.

The 6th Army was very satisfied with the 6th Army's two dispatched troops headquarters. General Yamanashi was very satisfied with the fact that the 6th Army Minister, General Yamanashi, did not want to have an accident at this time. If the Japanese army arrived at the Sino-Korean border, of course, they would merge in order to unify the next 1 steps of combat. Forced merger at this time will only affect the progress of the war.

However, the General General Suzuki Shou’s view was different. He made a suggestion to General Yamanashi, “Your Excellency, can you order the Second Manchuria and Mongolian Expeditionary Force Command to temporarily assist the Manchuria and Mongolian Expeditionary Force Command to operate.”

"Assistance" in Japanese also has several meanings. At this time, no one misunderstood Lieutenant General Suzuki's view. This assistance is to make the Second Manchuria and Mongolian Expeditionary Army Command obey the command of the Manchuria and Mongolian Expeditionary Army Command.

Now, those who supported Lieutenant General Ugaki in the 6th Army were somewhat unacceptable. As for the Navy, they stood on Lieutenant General Ugaki's side. The Navy did not care about Lieutenant General Ugaki. Now Lieutenant General Suzuki, the commander of the Second Manchuria and Mongolian Expeditionary Army, just asked for resignation and handed over the command power to the 6th Army, and someone in the 6th Army would cause trouble. If the 2nd Command was abolished before North Korea was recaptured, wouldn't the navy's contribution be erased?

Of course, the opponents had very good reasons. "What the troops of the 2nd Command need to operate on the flank is to grasp the mobility of the fighter jets. If they are under the command of the Manchuria and Mongolian Expeditionary Forces Command, their advantages will be ineffective."

The reason why General Yamanashi Half-Auto has the position he has today is definitely not because he is simple and cute. After hearing these reasons for opposition, General Yamanashi confirmed the attitudes of all parties.

Lieutenant General Teruchi No. 1 was born into a noble family and had many supporters. 10% of Lieutenant General Ugaki is also a very active person. After graduating from the Sabre Group of the 6th Army University of Northeast China, he used the conflicts between Sabre and continued to climb. He even created a "Ugaki Sect".

The reason why the two lieutenant generals, Shou1, Teraunuchi and Ugaki 1, served as commanders of the two Manchurian and Mongolian Expeditionary Army Commands, was not the many other division commanders. The power of their respective supporters behind them was indelible.

General Yamanashi spoke, "Now both commands must obey the command of the base camp, continue to attack the enemy, and expel the enemy from North Korea as soon as possible. After completing this task, the two commands will merge."

This order is very reasonable and no one objected. The generals of different factions in the 6th Army decided to convey the prompts of the current situation to the two commanders on the front line. Although the Manchu and Mongolian Expeditionary Army headquarters had a relatively superior position, as long as Lieutenant General Ugaki established enough contributions, he would not have the opportunity to become the future commander of the Manchu and Mongolian Expeditionary Army.

At about the same time, the combat plan formulated by the Northeast Army North Korea Front Command had been submitted to the General Command and was approved.

Xu Chengfeng, commander of the Front Command, immediately issued an order, "Northeast Army Military Commission/Northeast Army Front Command/Order No. 18 in 1923/Top Secret, circulated at the military-level command center.

At present, the Japanese army continues to pursue our army. The front-line command judged that the Japanese army was under great pressure from its home country and had to obtain results and explain to Japan. Therefore, the Japanese army must fight with our army. Since the Japanese army could no longer formulate combat arrangements in accordance with the laws of military science, it gave our army the opportunity to counterattack the Japanese army.

The 7th, 8th, 9th, 33th, 41st Army. Quickly complete the renovation and advance to the area south of the Changjin Lake Defense Line according to the arrangements of the front-line command. After fighting with the Japanese army, each army no longer has a cover force. Each unit needs to maintain contact with the Japanese army during retreat according to the form. When each army approaches the Changjin Lake Defense Line, it must show the attitude of quickly retreating into the defense line. When the Japanese army begins to pursue, it will carry out a full-scale counterattack to cause major damage to the Japanese army.

The front-line command has set a stop line for combat. If the troops are stubbornly resisted by the Japanese army and cannot continue to advance during the counterattack, they will immediately retreat to the Changjin Lake defense line.

Northeast Army North Korea Front Command, Commander: Xu Chengfeng.
