Chapter 697 The battle between Nuomenhan and Zhang Gufeng begins (the first chapter is here today)
Dang Eighth-Road Army's 120th Division sent the 268th Regiment to support Liu Feiyang's commander Zhao Guangtao and deputy commander Mu Ziyuan. He was surprised because the front-line defense positions of Liu Feiyang's commander were too few elite troops.
Japanese ambassador to the Soviet army, Shigemitsu, also received a negotiation order, letting him know that the Soviet army had sent troops to support Zhang Gufeng.
The person who told him the news was Prince Zai Ren, the chief of staff, who was Hirohito's uncle.
"What are the Kwantung Army thinking? Does (the military headquarters) still want to act arbitrarily like the Battle of Songhu?"
"Once the Soviet army is fighting, the fate of our empire will be in danger. Supporting stupid behavior is really worrying!"
"It seems that it is it, His Highness Zairen, Lieutenant General Otaka Kazusato, the commander of the 19th Division, Nakamura and his staff, as well as the senior management of the 1st Division under the Kanto Army, and the deputy chief of staff, Jun Tada, the commander of the 23rd Division, Lieutenant General Komatsuhara, General Kenyoshi Ueda, and which damn senior combat staff member, Masatoshi Tsuji, and others jointly decided!"
"Or why would they suddenly launch an attack for no reason? Are they so stupid and so unclear what kind of big trouble our empire will face after attacking the Soviet army?"
"It's not because these military personnel have won constant victories in China!"
"A arrogant soldier will be defeated!"
After Ambassador Shigekimiya read the telegrams given to him by Minister of Foreign Affairs (Foreign Minister) Ugaki Ichijutsu and the telegrams given to him by Minister of Interior Yuasakura Hei, including the negotiation order,
He suddenly felt heavy.
But he could not change the Kwantung Army's tentative attack, especially when he knew that when he received the order for negotiation,
The commander of the 23rd Division, Komatsuhara, and Inada Masaru from the General Staff Headquarters, had already gone to Nomenhan according to the "key points" issued by the Kanto Army headquarters.
At the same time, the investigation results of the "60 people" of the Hailar Secret Service and the reconnaissance report of the Japanese flight reconnaissance unit quickly arrived at the Kwantung Army.
Then, after obtaining the reconnaissance information they wanted, the Kwantung Army Headquarters immediately approved the military headquarters and immediately gave two flight teams and more than 100 transport vehicles to command and use the 23rd Division.
Then, as the search detachment of the vanguard troops, the Japanese squadron commanded by the captain Dongbabaizang Zhongzuo also had fought with the affiliated troops on the Soviet side.
So after the ambassador Shigekami sighed, his heart was heavy and he began his negotiation work.
But for him, this matter is not easy to deal with at all.
But even so, he could only follow orders and act.
And when Ambassador Shigekimiya was worried about the future of the Japanese army,
Far away in the headquarters of the Kanto Army, General Kenyoshi Ueda, the commander of the Kanto Army, and Lieutenant General Iimura, were meeting.
"What do we really want to do this? Are we really going to attack Nomenhan?"
