Chapter 996: It's Done

Xu Rui smiled slightly, and continued: "Originally, the formation of the armored division of the Kwantung Army had nothing to do with our Dameishan Military Division, but now it has a relationship, whether we can airlift the fuse that was stolen by Wang Puppet's No. 76 agent back to Dameishan this time, it will fall on the head of the Kwantung Army."

Wang Husheng said: "I don't quite understand this. ā€

Xu Rui said: "Lao Wang, you listen to me slowly. ā€

"Okay." Wang Husheng poured Xu Rui a glass of boiling water and said, "You speak slowly." ā€

Xu Rui said: "This, we have to start with the founding idea of the little Japanese army, small Japan because of the small country and poor land, can not raise too many soldiers, so it has always pursued the strategy of elite soldiers, the samurai is the product of this elite strategy, as long as the history of Japan has a little study of people, you will know that the history of the war in small Japan, in fact, is a history of samurai, in the Warring States era of small Japan, the real decision on the outcome of the war, in fact, is the samurai class on both sides. ā€

"I know that, too." Wang Husheng said impatiently, "Let's talk about the point." ā€

"That's the point." Xu Rui said, "It's really because the samurai had a pivotal position in ancient Japan, so there will be the wrong thinking of heavy spirit and light weapons, and then this thinking has continued to the present, and has affected the Japanese Army's army building thinking, the little Japanese god of war Nogi Noshinori, advocating bushido's suicide attacks, so in the Russo-Japanese War, this old devil did not hesitate to let the devils of the entire division launch a suicidal charge, and strive to mentally destroy the Russian army's will to resist, and finally the Japanese army won the Russo-Japanese War, The number of killed is several times that of the Russian army! ā€

"Lao Wang, you now think that the little devil's weapons are very good, but in fact, the little devil's weapons are as good as our China, but they are simply scum compared to the European powers!" After a pause, Xu Rui said again, "And this is caused by Little Japan's erroneous guiding thinking for army building." ā€

Wang Husheng frowned and said, "Old Xu, you seem to be talking far again." ā€

"Okay, let's just talk about us." Xu Rui said, "Little Japan's idea of army building is wrong, but Ishihara Wan'er, this old devil, is a strategic vision, this old devil will not be superstitious about the so-called bushido suicide spirit, he only believes in the large-scale concentrated use of firepower and weapons, so after he took office as chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, he will intensively start to form armored divisions and aviation army groups." ā€

Wang Husheng said thoughtfully: "I seem to understand a little. ā€

"Got it?" Xu Rui said hesitantly, "Ishihara Wan'er formed so many armored divisions and aviation army groups, just to go to the Soviet Union, you can imagine what kind of scene it will be like once Japan and the Soviet Union go to war?" ā€

Wang Husheng said: "It must be the bombardment of planes flying all over the sky, tanks flying all over the ground, and artillery all over the mountains!" ā€

"That's right!" Xu Rui snapped his fingers and said, "But whether it is a plane flying in the sky, a tank or a cannon walking on the ground, if you want to play a role, you can't do without one thing!" ā€

"Ammo!" Wang Husheng said, "Airplanes, tanks or artillery are all short of ammunition!" ā€

"Yes!" Xu Rui said, "But whether it is aircraft bombs, tank armor-piercing shells, artillery grenades, or even individual melon grenades, there is one thing missing." ā€

"Fuze!" Wang Husheng said, "The bomb must have a fuse!" ā€

"Yes!" Xu Rui said again, "In order to prepare for the war against the Soviet Union, Ishihara Guaner secretly formed so many armored divisions and an entire aviation army group, so you say, how much ammunition does he have to prepare?" How many fuses do you have to consume with so much ammunition? These are consumables! ā€

Wang Husheng said: "Who will have too much ammunition? ā€

"So." Xu Rui smiled and said, "If the shadow sends a telegram to Ishihara Waner at this time, saying that he has gotten a batch of cannonball fuses, what kind of reaction do you think Ishihara Waner will have?" ā€

Wang Husheng said: "Of course, I immediately asked for these fuses. ā€

"Isn't that the end of it!" Xu Rui said hesitantly, "That's it!" ā€

"But that's not right!" Wang Husheng said, "Even if Ishihara wants this batch of fuses, it doesn't necessarily have to be transported by air, and it can be transported by cheaper sea." It's just that the speed will be slower. ā€

Xu Rui waved his hand and said, "This is a technical problem, a piece of cake." ā€

Northeast China.

The Chief of Staff of the Kwantung Army, accompanied by Deputy Chief of Staff Otozaburo Yano, inspected the Dongning Fortress.

Dongning Fortress was built in the 24th year of the Republic of China, in order to build this huge strategic fortress, the Kwantung Army recruited more than 100,000 people from Shandong and North Korea in a deceptive way, and it has been built for four years now, but it has not been repaired, which shows the huge and complex fortress project.

After walking around the fortress, Ishihara's face fell.

"Yano-san." Ishihara said to Otozaburo Yano worriedly, "The construction of the Higashihara fortress must be hurried, it has been repaired for so long, but it has not been repaired, once Japan and the Soviet Union start a full-scale war, the main force of the Kwantung Army will inevitably attack to the west, at this time, if the Soviet army comes from the east, what should we do?" ā€

At the strategic level, the Japanese military has a northward strategy as well as a southward strategy.

Under the framework of the northward strategy, the northward strategy is divided into two different tactical links: attacking westward and outflanking in a roundabout way, of which the westward attack is to attack Outer Mongolia to the west, cut off the Soviet Far East Railway, and make the Soviet Red Army in the Far East a lone army, and then outflank and completely annihilate the isolated and helpless Soviet Red Army.

In order to achieve this strategic intent, the Japanese army had to do two things well.

The first thing is to form a huge group of mechanized corps, which will be able to crush the Soviet Red Army with a torrent of steel in the event of a war between Japan and the Soviet Union, and the second thing is to build 40 military fortresses along the Great and Small Khing'an Mountains and the Changbai Mountains, so as to absolutely defend the three northeastern provinces so that they will not be threatened by the Soviet Red Army.

However, now, neither spears nor shields are prepared by the Japanese army.

However, relations between Japan and the Soviet Union have deteriorated dramatically, and intelligence shows that the Soviet Union is already in full swing preparing for war against Japan, which cannot but make Ishihara Waner become worried, and the Kwantung Army is not fully prepared at the moment, and once Japan and the Soviet Union start a war, the Kwantung Army is not sure of victory.

As the deputy chief of staff of Ishihara's personal point, Otozaburo Yano is still very cooperative.

"Hello!" Otozaburo Yano paused, "Your Excellency Chief of Staff can rest assured, if you don't build the fortress for a day, you won't return to the headquarters for a day." ā€

"Yo Si." Ishihara nodded happily, "Then please leave it to Yano-san." ā€

"Hello!" Otozaburo Yano paused again, and was about to say more, when he saw the adjutant hurriedly approaching.

took the folder from the adjutant's hand and opened it, but after reading it, Otozaburo Yano was happy.

"Your Excellency the Chief of Staff." Otozaburo Yano stepped forward and immediately reported, "I just received an urgent telegram from Nakamura-san from Shanghai, saying that their Nakamura agency has just intercepted a batch of fuses!" ā€

"Really? That's great. "Ishihara was also overjoyed when he heard this, this is really a timely rain.

At present, the Kwantung Army is most in short supply of aerial bombs, and in order to produce bombs, the most important thing is the fuse, because there is no shortage of steel and explosives for the production of bombs, but the detonators for the production of fuses are in short supply.

Ishihara paused and said, "You immediately contact the navy and transport these fuses to Manchuria." ā€

Yano Otozaburo said uncharacteristically: "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, Nakamura-san said in the telegram that the number of these fuses is extremely large, and once the news leaks, the North China Front may also come forward to ask for it, and even the Central China Dispatch Army may not let it go, so Nakamura-san said that it is best to directly return to Manchuria by air as soon as possible." ā€

"Then try to airlift it back immediately, I remember that Nakamura-san had a good personal relationship with the commander of the flying regiment directly under the Central China Army, Tadashi Shiga, and the matter of airlift was also handed over to him." Ishihara said, "Fortunately, the size of the fuze is not large, and no matter how many there are, a transport plane will be transported back, so I won't even borrow a transport plane, right?" ā€

"Not really." Otozaburo Yano shook his head and said, "Ika-san will still give this little face." ā€

"Yo Xi, then as soon as possible." Ishihara paused and said, "In addition, don't forget to thank Nakamura Sando for me, thank him for still thinking about the old army in his heart, and I will invite him to drink again if he has the opportunity in the future!" ā€

"Hello!" Otozaburo Yano paused, "I'll do it." ā€

That evening, Shanghai.

Toshimasa Nakamura calls Tadaji Osaka in his office.

"Is it all arranged? Thank you so much. ā€

"Yes, although I am no longer in the Kwantung Army now, I am trained by the Kwantung Army after all, and I can't forget the old troops no matter where I go."

"On behalf of His Excellency Ishihara and Yano-san, I would like to thank you again."

"Oh yes, has the specific time of the transport plane departing from Shanghai been determined?"

"Yes, yes, yes, there is not much of a problem on the Central China side, but the Manchurian side is not very safe, Yano-san is worried that it may be intercepted by the Soviet Air Force, so he wants to determine the exact time when the transport plane will arrive in Mukden, so that the Kwantung Army Aviation Corps can send fighter jets to escort in advance."

"Yes, yes, it's all about safety."

"It's going to leave at half past ten tonight, isn't it?"

"Okay, okay, I'll give you feedback on the situation to Yano-san."

Stacking down the phone, Nakamura Jun wrote the information on a twenty yuan face value of Japanese currency with a special water condition, and then handed the money to the adjutant and asked him to go to the opposite Xingya foreign company to buy cigarettes, and watched the adjutant go out, Nakamura Jun breathed a long sigh of relief, he had already done what he had to do, and the next thing had nothing to do with him.
