Chapter 1023 The Strength of the Armored Forces
1023 After Hideki Tojo got the situation on the Jilin side, he knew that he couldn't hide it, and the emperor's side would definitely be able to know.
If the emperor knew that Jilin was lost so quickly, he would definitely be furious, he was going to the prime minister for this matter, and now he needed to think about the affairs in the Far East, whether that side was fighting or how, and now he needed to come up with a plan.
However, it was already a very dangerous thing for Hideki Tojo to continue fighting, and they did not know at all when the Chinese troops would attack their troops in the Far East, so Hideki Tojo tended to retreat.
But it was useless for him to retreat alone, and he needed the support of the prime minister, and then persuaded the emperor that if the emperor did not agree, they would have no choice. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Soon, Hideki Tojo arrived at the Prime Minister's residence, and when he got there, Kiichiro Hiranuma saw that his face was so grim, and knew that something bad must have happened again, so he immediately took Hideki Tojo to his study, and after leaving the study, Kiichiro Hiranuma asked him to sit down.
"What's the matter, what the hell is going on, seeing that your face is so bad, is it something from the Far East?" Kiichiro Hiranuma asked.
"Hey, it's a big deal, I just received news that Chinese troops have now captured our airfield in Jilin!" Hideki Tojo nodded, and then handed the telegram from Tatsuya Kusaba to Kiichiro Hiranuma.
"Baga, how could it be so fast, didn't they just arrive in Siping this morning? Why did we arrive in Jilin so quickly, are those defensive positions on our front line all decorations? Kiichiro Hiranuma heard this and asked rather angrily.
He also thought that the previous arrangement could trap Hu Bin for a period of time, according to the emperor's requirements, Jilin's troops had to hold there for about a month, but it was only the first day, and the Chinese troops went to the back of their defensive positions.
"Hu Bin's armored troops, thousands of tanks, this morning Caochangchen has sent a telegram, saying that the situation in Siping is unknown, and it is no longer possible to contact, and it is estimated that the whole army may be wiped out.
But what we didn't expect was that Hu Bin's troops would arrive in Jilin so quickly, and it is estimated that Caochangchen would not have time to blow up the runway, and now this runway is still there, which is a huge threat to our troops in Heilongjiang.
Therefore, now we have to think about the situation in the Far East, if Hu Bin's troops completely defeat our troops in Heilongjiang, then our troops in the Far East will be in danger, and I hope that Your Excellency the Prime Minister will think about it.
And I hope to persuade His Majesty to agree to the retreat of our troops in Heilongjiang, and now it will definitely not be able to stop Hu Bin's troops.
We might as well let those troops go back, so that we can attack China again in the future, and as long as the forces in the Far East are not defeated by the Chinese forces, then we have a chance! Hideki Tojo looked at Kiichiro Hiranuma and said.
"Yo Xi, however, Your Majesty has always hoped to defeat China, and now we are attacking the Soviet Union, and we are also preparing to attack China, once we cannot defeat China, then there is no point in attacking the Soviet Union.
Now our troops are fighting well in the Americas, constantly consuming the war resources of the United States, and when the time comes, the United States will not be able to withstand it!
You and I both know this situation, Your Majesty also knows, Your Majesty still hopes to be able to defeat China completely, so as to reduce a risk for our empire, although we have left the island now, but the island is still very important to us in Japan, therefore, it is difficult to persuade Your Majesty! Kiichiro Hiranuma looked at Hideki Tojo and said.
"I know, but you and I both know that it is the most uneconomical to fight China now, the strength of China's side is already very strong, and we want to defeat them, unless we have to pour out the strength of the whole country, and if we fight like this, the casualties on our side are too great.
Although we now have a lot of soldiers from Southeast Asia, as well as soldiers from India, those officers are still ours, and we are in Jilin, and there are more than 300,000 soldiers from our own country, and if they are completely annihilated, it will also be a great loss for the population of our country.
And if we continue to confront China, then our nearly 1 million local soldiers in the Far East will also be defeated by Hu Bin's troops, and then our own soldiers will be fewer and fewer, and whether we can control the soldiers of other countries is a question! Hideki Tojo said.
"Hey, okay, now the two of us go to see Your Majesty, tell him the truth, now we have to make a choice, if we continue to spend on the Chinese side, we will drain the resources of the empire!" Kiichiro Hiranuma heard it, nodded, stood up, and said to Hideki Tojo.
"Hey!" Hideki Tojo nodded when he heard this, then stood up and followed him.
At this moment, on the side of Jilin City, those staff officers of the headquarters are packing up their things, they are about to retreat, they can't stay here, the headquarters must immediately evacuate here and go to Changchun.
Hu Bin had already arrived at the airport, and after checking the runway, he ordered his troops to begin to besiege Jilin, leaving an infantry division and an armored division here, and the rest of the troops all went to attack Jilin.
The 22nd Division, which went first, asked them to go directly to the middle of Jilin and Changchun, blocking the passage over there, and not letting the devil's troops retreat to Changchun.
Hu Bin knew that if the commanders in Jilin City knew that Hu Bin's troops had finished fighting the airport, they would definitely think of going back to Jilin City directly, and they would definitely retreat in advance.
Hu Bin's tanks began to rush towards Jilin City, and the troops of the 22nd Division were still marching towards Jilin.
"Report, ahead is the infantry position of the devils, they found us coming!" After receiving the previous report, a staff officer said to Yan Linzhang, commander of the 22nd Division.
"Go around, don't fight with them, leave it to other troops here to clean up, scatter the point, the devil's artillery may open fire, hurry up and bypass, our purpose is to go to the west of Jilin City and block the passage over there!" Yan Linzhang heard it and immediately spoke.
"Yes!" The staff officer heard this, answered his mouth, and quickly informed the tanks in front.
"Baga, it's the Chinese tank troops, send a telegram to the headquarters, and find the Chinese tank troops, and they're coming at us now!" A brigade commander who was defending on this side stood at the observation post of the headquarters, spotted the tanks, and immediately gave orders to the staff officers beside him.
"Hey!" The staff officer immediately ran in, picked up the phone and began to notify the command to tell the people that the Chinese tanks were coming.
"Damn, what do they mean, don't go to our side, do you want to take a detour? What's going on? Soon, the commander felt that something was wrong, and the Chinese troops did not come at them at all, but continued to charge towards Jilin from the diagonal direction of their position.
"Damn, they're going to attack our Jilin City, tell the headquarters that those tanks are coming towards our headquarters, come on, contact our artillery positions, fire at the front, immediately!" When the brigade commander realized that something was wrong, he shouted to another staff officer.
"Hey!" The staff officer answered, and in a few moments a telegram was received from the headquarters.
"Report, the troops to the east of us have discovered the Chinese armored forces, and they are now rushing towards Jilin City, less than 20 miles away from here, commander, if you want to retreat, you must leave immediately!" A senior staff officer came over and said to Kusaba Tatsuya.
"What, so fast!" Kusaba had already heard it, raised his hand, and looked at the time, it was only less than 8 o'clock, that is, it took less than 2 hours for China to attack the airfield, and now it has arrived here.
"Armored troops, it's really powerful, it's a pity that our empire doesn't have such troops, if the United States also formed such a force, it would be too terrifying!" Kiichiro Higuchi heard it and spoke.
"No, we have such troops in the Americas now!" Kusaba Tatsumi said immediately.
"It's different, we just use the tanks together, but the command system is still chaotic, and Hu Bin's armored unit is completely different, it is all commanded by Hu Bin!" Higuchi Keichiro said immediately.
"Okay, let's not discuss this yet, now is not the time to discuss this, how are things packed?" Kusaba Chen doesn't want to talk about this now, his command needs to retreat immediately, if the command is ended, then there will be no need to fight the battle in the future, and the entire Jilin army will soon be annihilated.
"Hey, now our guys are loading, soon, the armored brigade will come and escort us out later!" When the chief of staff heard this, he immediately walked over and said to Kusaba Tatsuya.
"Be fast, Chinese tanks are very fast, if they block our roads, we can't get out, our cars are not tanks, they can drive anywhere!" Kusaba Tatsumi has ordered.
"Hey, it'll be fine soon!" The chief of staff immediately nodded and said.
"Boom, boom!" Soon, to the east of Jilin City, there was a loud explosion, and those shells fell on the road of the tanks.
However, the Chinese tank doesn't care at all, and drives directly to the front, those shells are ordinary ammunition, which can't penetrate the tank, and when it falls on the tank, it will bounce up and then explode, and it can't blow up the tank, but the huge shock will also bring casualties to the soldiers in the tank.
