After graduating from Huangpu, he rose to prominence as a regiment leader.

Qin Port.

This place is close to Shanhaiguan and is the first important route into the country!

Although it was an important city of the Xia Kingdom, unfortunately, after the Japanese occupied the actual control of the three provinces of Kanto, it was completely brought under the control of the Japanese.

"Baga! What did you say?"

In the core area of Qingang, Mei Jin hadn't even sat down yet when his deputy's words made him stand up in shock!

"Return to General Umezu!"

"The Qingang garrison has completely lost its organization. The soldiers here are like headless flies. We have found a large number of deserters!" The deputy paused, his face full of confusion.

As they passed through, they found that the gates of several towns were wide open, with no troops stationed there at all, and the armories and granaries were looted.

The Xia people who were supposed to be suppressed also began to resist. They grabbed guns and fired at the imperial soldiers along the way.

Although the casualties were not great, the trouble and consequences caused were very serious.

All signs indicate that the people of Xia are responding to their own army.

The empire's rule is already crumbling!

"General Mei Jin! According to our investigation, all signs point to the headquarters of the Qingang garrison!" the deputy quickly reported.

"Baga! No matter what the reason is, the Qingang garrison is derelict in their duty! A bunch of damn imperial parasites!" Mei Jin was so angry that his face turned blue.

If the Qingang garrison had been able to send troops to provide support in time, our side would not have suffered such huge losses.

You know, with the combat effectiveness of the Xia Kingdom's New First Front Army, every hour that the battlefield time is delayed, a large number of imperial soldiers will be killed!

If the Qingang garrison could stop Xia's 29th Army in time, they would be able to completely withdraw into the Qingang area before the New First Front Army caught up.

But now?

Mei Jin knew better than anyone what happened to the troops that were stuck by the New First Front Army!

"Hayi!"

"But General Umezu! We have received a telegram. The garrison troops in Guandong have called and the Fifth Army of the New First Front has already stationed at Shanhaiguan!"

"They are well-armed and mechanized, and have completely blocked the way into the country!"

"The Kanto garrison said that it would be difficult for them to enter the country to provide support at the scheduled time!"

"What? Where did this Fifth Army come from?" Umezu Mijiro looked gloomy.

Ever since he came up against the New First Front Army of the Xia Kingdom, his biggest headache has been fighting in turns with the various army groups under the New First Front Army.

These armies not only have extremely strong combat effectiveness, but their combat styles are also very different, each with its own characteristics!

Some units are average in frontal combat, but are particularly good at taking the enemy by surprise. Although they are a large-scale army, they can often decapitate their own regiment headquarters when fighting, and sometimes even divisions and brigades will fall into their hands.

What’s even more terrible is that it seems that every unit of that army group is capable of completing this special task, and there is no need to send out special forces.

The situation on the battlefield changes rapidly. Once the Kwantung Army is transferred, the troops that were just fighting on the front line can transform into elite troops at any time to infiltrate and decapitate.

They seemed to have never had a clear division of labor on the battlefield, as if any random troop could complete this special task that could only be accomplished by a small group of specially trained elite troops.

In addition, there is also an army group that can often block the key points of their retreat, turning the Kwantung Army's orderly retreat into a rout, causing a lot of unnecessary casualties!

Examples like these made it completely impossible for Umezu to figure out the other party's background!

"General Umezu! This Fifth Army Group is the force that will carry out the surprise attack on the Kwantung Army Aviation Base!"

"Currently, the New First Front Army is the most powerful and basically fully mechanized combat force!" The deputy quickly stated the contents of the telegram.

"Damn it! They are just a group of backward Xia troops. How can they have the confidence to complete mechanization?" Mei Jin gritted his teeth, looking unwilling.

There was a bloodthirstiness and desire for revenge in his eyes!

"General Mei Jin! Qin Feng's troops cannot be judged by common sense at all!" After a long time, the deputy also said with a bitter face.

No one could have imagined that the Kwantung Army, the flower of the Imperial Army, would be defeated by the backward Xia Army!

From the beginning of the war to now, only 70% of the 600,000 Kwantung Army’s troops remain!

Moreover, the army's morale was low, military supplies were running out, and they had completely lost their morale and faith in fighting the enemy!

Even if they could survive this disaster, the lost morale would be difficult to recover. It is conceivable that the reputation of the Kwantung Army would plummet!

"General Meijin! What should we do next?" After thinking for a moment, the deputy couldn't help but ask.

"Contact the Northern Expeditionary Army Headquarters! No matter what, we must find the division commander of the Qingang garrison!" Umezu took a deep breath and said with a grim look on his face.

Such scum must be severely punished. If they are not used as a warning to others, the entire army will inevitably become disunited.

"This..." The deputy looked embarrassed.

It's already this late, and the New First Front Army is still chasing hotly behind, but the general is still thinking about punishing the division commanders under him.

After thinking for a while, the deputy continued to remind: "But General Meijin, judging from the battlefield situation, the New Front Army has no intention of letting us go, and their large forces are still encircling us in the rear."

"Do we have any way to retreat now? Evacuating to Qingang is our only way to survive!" Mei Jin interrupted with a wave of his hand.

"But General Umezu! At present, the Yamato Fleet and the Four Seas Fleet in Qingang Port have lost contact with us. If we retreat to Qingang rashly, accidents may occur!" The deputy took a deep breath and hesitated to speak.

At present, the situation on the battlefield is out of their control. Whether it is inside or outside the Great Wall or in Qingang, information is always not fully exchanged, and no one can tell what has happened.

First, the Qin Port garrison became a mess, and then the port fleet was disconnected.

If it was the New First Front Army that was causing all this trouble, that would be too scary!

"Baga! This is in Qingang, not inside the Great Wall!"

"General Yamamoto has already given clear instructions. The war situation has become so urgent. If we can't trust the Imperial Navy, who else can we trust?" Umezu said angrily.

Although the Qingang area is outside the three provinces of Kanto, it is still within the coverage of the imperial power, and the Xia State's armed forces have no soil to survive.

The only Xia Kingdom armed force, the New First Front Army, is still behind the Kwantung Army, so nothing will happen to Qingang anyway.

Although there are many conflicts between the navy and the army, the imperial navy is still among the best in the world. Even if the new front army is strong, it does not have the accumulation of the navy.

So, it’s not like they don’t have a chance of winning!

"Ha Yi!" The deputy stood at attention suddenly.
