Sword of Light: I Can Summon the Fourth Disaster

Beijing Xiao Zongmin's Residence

After receiving the telegram from the Northeast, Xiao Zongmin immediately summoned his subordinates in the capital to discuss the situation.

"It seems that the three giants under our command are going to take real action. In the northeast, the Air Force has deployed thousands of aircraft there, and even the route from Shanxi to the northeast has been fully occupied."

"Commander, you don't know yet, right? It should be said that the routes in the entire North China region are fully occupied. The planes of the field headquarters leaders landed at Quancheng Airport." Wang Guangru laughed and told the news he had just received.

"Really?" Xiao Zongmin was obviously surprised when he heard the news.

Wang Guangru nodded and said with a smile: "A telegram just came from Quancheng Airport saying that except for the two flying divisions guarding against the Japanese navy, all other air forces in eastern Shandong are moving to the northeast."

"Originally, the commander of the Field Command returned to eastern Shandong to coordinate with the Air Force to transfer some officers and soldiers to the Northeast. However, because the Air Force has occupied all the routes in recent days, the commanders can only wait in Quancheng."

After listening to Wang Guangru, Xiao Zongmin could easily guess what the Northeastern players were thinking. They must have finished preparing and were about to launch the first wave of attack. In order not to embarrass themselves, they let the air force occupy all the routes.

But how could Xiao Zongmin guess the players' bold ideas? This time they were not only fighting for the first battle, but were also preparing to completely recover the Northeast in this summer and autumn offensive.

Feeling that he understood the players' intentions, Xiao Zongmin smiled and said, "They are quite cunning. They have occupied all the trains on the ground and have not even left any space for the leaders."

Xiao Lin smiled strangely and asked tentatively: "Hey! Commander-in-chief, do you want us to..."

But before Xiao Lin could finish his words, Xiao Zongmin interrupted him and scolded him, "Enough! Stop doing your evil tricks. They are under a lot of pressure too."

This time, Xiao Wen, the chief steward of the International Youth Column, also came to the capital. At this moment, he said with a worried look on his face: "This time, I coordinated the train to transport nearly 300,000 troops to the reorganized division. Together with the convoy on the Beining Line, they have gathered more than a million troops this time. It doesn't seem like a simple test."

Xiao Zongmin said nonchalantly: "Jinzhou is the first big city they face when they enter the Northeast. The high-ranking officials of the Japanese in western Liaoning are all in Jinzhou. The Japanese will not let us capture the city easily."

"The Northeast is now occupied, and the Japanese can send reinforcements to Jinzhou from several directions. Although the Second Division that killed Lou Lan has already headed towards the four northern provinces, it is not ruled out that the Japanese defense zone in the four northern provinces will be occupied and withdraw to the Northeast. At that time, their pressure will also increase."

"That's right!" Wang Guangru agreed, "Commander-in-chief, all the intelligence they have collected in the Northeast has been sent back to the headquarters. The General Staff believes that the Japanese will send reinforcements from Huludao to Jinzhou."

"During this period, the Japanese navy has been traveling back and forth between Huludao and the peninsula as well as the Japanese mainland. The players' air forces have tried to attack the Japanese troop transport ships several times, but the results have always been unsatisfactory."

"According to the rough estimate of the General Staff, the number of Japanese troops in Huludao will not be less than 200,000."

Xiao Zongmin smiled and said, "So Huang Zherang gave the devil a call. He has transferred the 10th Brigade of the 4th Division to Tashan to build a defense line. At the same time, the Luyu Corps in Tianjin has begun to reorganize the army and is heading towards the northeast."

When Wang Guangru heard that the 4th Division was going to fight for reinforcements, he said with a smile: "The 4th Division is at odds with the Japanese navy. Every time the Japanese navy transports troops, they run into the 4th Division. I wonder if old Japanese Yamamoto will be pissed off when he finds out."

"Old Japanese Yamamoto is not worried about the life and death of the army idiots. The one who is worried about the life and death of the Japanese army must be Private Tojo, haha." Hearing Wang Guangru's hypothesis, Xiao Zongmin joked.

"Hahahaha." Xiao Zongmin's subordinates in the room burst into laughter for a moment.

"That's all!" After a burst of laughter, Xiao Zongmin said seriously, "Xiao Wen, go coordinate the train and get the armored division's equipment on board. The rest of the troops will take trucks to the Northeast with light equipment. Let the quartermaster accompany the troops. If the situation in the Northeast is urgent, let the quartermaster provide equipment!"

"Yes!"

......

At this moment, the atmosphere of war is looming over the Northeast.

The high-ranking Japanese officials in the Northeast are not fools, especially Ningji Okamura and the old Japanese Ishiwara Kanji, who is known as the brain of the Japanese army.

At this moment, the two were playing chess in a small courtyard. Umezu Michijiro had been recalled to his homeland by Private Tojo, and Okamura Neiji was promoted to commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army.

Although Gangcun did not like Ishiwara Kanji after arriving in Northeast China, he knew that Ishiwara Kanji was a smart man.

So after being promoted to commander-in-chief, Okamura personally went to Ishiwara Kanji's residence to listen to his opinions. If his vision was good, Okamura would use him.

After Okamura Neiji placed a piece, he asked, "Ishihara-kun, what do you think the locust army should do next?"

Ishihara Kanji took a sip of the teacup before saying seriously, "Withdraw the Kwantung Army that is guarding the Far East Military Region of the Bear Federation and reinforce the Liaoshen defense line. At the same time, mobilize troops loyal to the Locust Army from the Korean side to enter the Kwantung to fight!"

Upon hearing this result, Ningji Okamura was very dissatisfied.

If the several Japanese divisions that were on guard against the Bear Federation were recalled, the Bear Federation would certainly take advantage of their battle with the Eighth Route Army to suddenly penetrate into the Northeast. I'm afraid that with the Bear Federation's appetite, they would definitely swallow up a piece of the Japanese-occupied area.

"Ishihara-kun, you should be aware of the dangers of the Bear Federation, right? If we let them go south, our..."

"Commander!" Before Ningji Okamura could finish his words, he was interrupted by Ishiwara Kanji.

"I believe you are aware that the enemy has assembled a large number of troops in the northeast region. A rough estimate shows that there are no less than one million people."

"The enemy has made it clear that they are ready to fight a decisive battle with the Locust Army. Even if we gather all the retired veterans in the entire Kanto region, it will be difficult to resist the enemy's attack."

"We just need to stabilize the Peninsula and Fengtian. Then the enemy will have a disagreement with the Bear Federation over the territory. Then we can strike out while both sides are losing, and then..."

Seeing this subordinate who dared to interrupt his analysis getting more and more excited, Ningji Okamura interrupted and said, "Ishihara-kun! Don't you think your plan is too idealistic?"

"Commander, I..."

Ishiwara Kanji wanted to explain more, but Okamura Neiji no longer had the patience to listen.

"It is impossible to recall the troops defending the Bear Federation. I will gather the Manchurian National Defense Army, the Northeast Garrison Army, and the Korean Division to join the Liaoshen Defense Line."

"At the same time, the Prime Minister has coordinated with the navy to transport more than a dozen newly formed divisions at the headquarters to Huludao. The enemy's attack this time will definitely be in vain."

"We should still worry about the enemy in the north. As for your worry, it is completely nonsense!"
