    After a suicide attack, although it caused a lot of casualties to the Northeast Advance Army, the Ninth Division was completely finished.

    By 12 noon, most of the officers, including the division commander, Lieutenant General Tabaka Ya88, were killed in the battle, and all the remaining Japanese soldiers fought to the last man, and the Ninth Division was destroyed.

    Less than half an hour after the annihilation of the Ninth Division, an emergency telegram was sent from the intelligence department. The main force of nearly two regiments of the Japanese 14th Division's vanguard arrived at Qingshan Town, north of Baicheng, only a short distance away.  Less than sixty kilometers remain.

    After receiving the news, Li Guoyao immediately issued an order to all units to cover and retreat alternately. The headquarters of the advancing army withdrew to Xianghai, and prepared to go to the Yushu and Wuchang lines via Xianghai. However, the first column suffered heavy losses this time, and Li Guoyao asked them to withdraw to  Rest in Aershan area.

    " Two hours after Li Guoyao's troops evacuated Wangye Temple, the 14th Division arrived belatedly. At this time, what was left to them was a smashed Wangye Temple and Japanese and puppet corpses all over the ground.

    In the morning, when the Kwantung Army Headquarters received the farewell telegram from the Ninth Division Headquarters, it realized that it was in serious trouble. When the 14th Division reported the situation on the Wangye Temple front line to the Kwantung Army Headquarters again, including Yamada Otsu  Everyone, including San, was silent.

    A complete infantry division was destroyed in this way, not counting the other two infantry brigades of the Royal Association Army that fought together. This battle did not last long, but the losses were no less than a major battle.

    Although the actual loss of the Kwantung Army¡¯s elite troops this time was only 16,000 to 7,000, and the rest were all puppet troops, it still made the entire Kwantung Army¡¯s top brass furious.

    Yamada Otsuzo knew very well that they were really exhausted in this battle!

    Although there was not much loss in terms of military strength, and even judging from the remaining conditions at the scene, the Japanese's losses were not small, but the two cannot be compared, because they were completely wiped out, while the other side was only severely damaged.  The difference between them is not that big.

    This is like the most famous Battle of Stalingrad on the European battlefield last year. Both sides invested millions of troops in Stalingrad. Due to the scale of the battle, the number of casualties has never been accurately counted, but almost all of them invested  All mobile forces that can be invested.

    The result of this battle was that the German army dealt a heavy blow to the Soviet army. At the same time, the Soviet army almost wiped out the entire German 6th Army.

    After the Battle of Stalingrad, the German army completely lost the strategic initiative on the Soviet-German battlefield. As General Zeitzler, the German Army Chief of Staff, said: "We lost 250,000 officers and soldiers in Stalingrad, which was equivalent to interrupting our  The backbone of the entire Eastern Front.¡±

    If you look at the number of soldiers lost alone, it seems that the Germans did not suffer a loss, because while the Germans were severely damaged by the Soviets, the Soviet Union also paid a heavy price. The specific number of Soviet casualties was 474,871 people killed in action, and 650,878 people were injured or captured.  , a total of 1,129,619 casualties.

    In this battle, the Soviet army's losses still exceeded those of the German army.

    The difference is that the German army was wiped out by the organizational system, and its combat effectiveness no longer exists. The new troops cannot develop combat effectiveness without a period of training.

    The remaining troops of the Soviet army can quickly form combat effectiveness by replenishing new troops with the old leading the new.

    " Moreover, it was difficult for the German army to replenish personnel and supplies. The speed and quantity of the Soviet army's replenishment far exceeded that of Germany. As a result, Germany's strength weakened.

    The Kwantung Army is currently facing a similar situation. If one field division is wiped out, the consequences will be far more serious than if three divisions are severely damaged.

    The most important thing is that if such a big thing happens, you can¡¯t hide it even if you want to.

    After all, this is a total annihilation, not a heavy damage. If it is the latter, the Kwantung Army Headquarters can completely solve the problem by falsely reporting battle losses and quickly increasing the number of reinforcements.

    ¡°But they were completely wiped out and there was nothing left, so we could only report the situation.

    When the Kwantung Army headquarters reported the situation to the Tokyo base camp, Tojo Hideki, who had already been severely criticized for the defeat, was completely angry.

    The reprimanding telegrams from Tokyo soon reached Fengtian, one after another. In the end, even the emperor was alarmed.

    Looking at the telegram of rebuke like snowflakes, the commander of the Kwantung Army, General Yamada Otsuzo, was about to collapse.

    He really couldn¡¯t figure out how the situation had suddenly deteriorated into this in just a few days!

    "In fact, what he didn't know was where he was. If he knew that the powerful and arrogant Kwantung Army in his eyes would be defeated and annihilated by the Soviet Red Army in just one week, he would not be surprised by this defeat.

    Huge loss orderOtsuzo Tian could not sit still any longer, and immediately ordered the chief of staff, Lieutenant General Yukio Kasahara, to immediately notify each corps commander and division commander to hold a meeting at the headquarters.

    The meeting was not held in a regular conference room, but in the combat command room, because General Yamada Otsuzo believed that there were not many things to summarize or review in this meeting. The most important thing was how to deal with the current chaos, and  He himself is more inclined to attack.

    Many military officers attended this military meeting. In addition to the commanders of various corps and divisions stationed in Fengtian, there were also heads of various departments under the Eastern Army, such as the Military Medical Department, the Veterinary Department, the Legal Department, the Supply Supervision Department,  Intelligence Department, Special Intelligence Department, Chemistry Department, Continental Railway Department, Water Supply and Epidemic Prevention Department, etc.

    The combat command room of the Kwantung Army Headquarters is very uniquely decorated. The entire hall is large, but it does not appear empty.

    There was a map of Northeast China of the same size placed on a huge square table in the middle. The square table was about 25 square meters. Only then did he put down the huge military map. This shows how big this military map is.

    There are a large number of red and blue table labels written in Japanese on the military map. The battle flags of China and Japan are placed on the table labels to represent the troops of the two countries.

    There is also a huge map hanging on the wall behind the main seat. This area is slightly smaller than the previous one, but it includes the Far East of the Soviet Union. It is very interesting that General Yamada Otosan placed the meeting venue here.  So profound.

    "Gentlemen, this is the sixth telegram of rebuke just issued by the base camp. This is not only a shame for me, Yamada Otsuzo, but also a shame for everyone here. Please circulate it."

    Yamada Otsuzo¡¯s voice was loud, but many officers present could hear the commander¡¯s fatigue and helplessness.

    A few minutes later, Yamada Otsuzo let out a long breath, opened his chapped lips and said: "Gentlemen, this is the biggest loss our Kwantung Army has suffered since its establishment. Although only one division was lost,  The impact on our military is unprecedented."

    At this point, Yamada Otsuzo changed his voice and continued: "Gentlemen, Manchuria is the result of decades of management by the empire's forefathers. It cannot be destroyed in our hands under any circumstances. Once such a result occurs, the empire's elites have spent decades  Our efforts will be destroyed in your hands, and you and I will become the eternal sinners of the empire."

    "Your Excellency, Commander, we have no way out. Please let us avenge our past humiliation and restore the glory of the Kwantung Army!"

    "Avenging shame!"

    "Avenging shame!"

    Everyone in the entire combat command room shouted loudly, the voices were neat and loud, and it was really majestic.

    Yamada Otsuzo nodded and said: "Yoshi, I am very pleased that you have not lost your courage. This is also the foundation for our Kwantung Army to guard Manchuria."

    "Then Yamada Otsuzo said again: "This time our enemy is mysterious and powerful. The annihilation of the Ninth Division is not an accident, so I ask you to go back and strengthen your guard while secretly gathering the troops."

    "Hai!"

    "The intelligence department immediately collected information about these assassins, and the staff department formulated a detailed combat plan. This time they must annihilate the opponent and never give them a chance to make a comeback." General Yamada Otsuzo said loudly.

    "Hai!"
