If Zhukov's pre-war meeting was full of self-confidence, then the pre-war meeting of Ogishu Libing was only a kind of solemn and tragic.

"After more than a month of hard fighting, we finally have this day." As soon as the Ogisu Libing began, the heavy word "hard" was used to describe the meeting, and none of the Kwantung Army generals present showed a relaxed expression.

"This battle has been fought so far, not only us, but also the Soviet army has been forced to work hard. Both sides are vying for an opportunity to decide the future, and whoever retreats half a step will fall into a situation from which he will never recover! Although his eyes no longer have the same enthusiasm as he did a month ago, Ogisu Libing is still trying to cheer up his men with words as much as possible.

In fact, the fact that Ogisu Libing has been able to support Zhukov's fierce bombardment until now is enough to prove that his ability is quite good among the Japanese generals, and if he were replaced, he might have collapsed completely.

In this local battle, Zhukov has so far consumed nearly 31,000 tons of ammunition. You must know that even in the Battle of Stalingrad, which is known as the turning point of World War II, the Soviet army only consumed 80,000 tons of ammunition.

The 6th Army under the command of Ogisu Libing has so far suffered more than one-third of the shelling in the Battle of Stalingrad! But how many German troops were there in the Battle of Stalingrad? There are only so many Japanese troops at Nomenkan.

It seems that the troops under his command on paper are nearly 70,000. But so far, only the 1st Brigade of the 8th Border Garrison and a 23rd Division have really arrived on the battlefield, and other troops on paper have never appeared at all!

The 23rd Division, which served as the main force on the battlefield, although its equipment was still in the forefront of the Japanese Army, was only a newly formed division in the final analysis, and its combat experience was completely inadequate.

Even if he commanded such a unit that was not really elite, the Ogizhou troops were still able to inflict huge losses on the elite of the Soviet army under Zhukov's reasonable command, so that the Soviet army's ammunition consumption in the Battle of Nomenkan was almost close to the total consumption of the eight-year war of resistance in China!

From this, we can see how tenacious the Japanese army's terrifying combat willpower is.

This also confirms from the side that those Chinese soldiers on the Chinese battlefield who have been supported to the end under the full force of the Japanese army's Zhengzhen elite troops are by no means as vulnerable as most people think! On the contrary, their willpower will never be inferior to that of the Japanese army!

Returning to the theme, in this pre-war meeting of Ogisu Libing, he was still boosting morale again and again: "The heavy artillery brought by Major General Eitaro Yama has been put in place, and the rapid-fire artillery unit has also been deployed in the direction of the attack of Soviet tanks. Now, it's our best and last chance. If we don't give it our all now, we won't have that chance again! ”

"Long live the Great Japanese Empire!" Ogisu took the lead in shouting this most common slogan.

"Long live the Great Japanese Empire!"

"Hooray!"

......

From the beginning to the end, Ogishu did not mention their weaknesses and crises in the meeting. It's not that he didn't notice it, it's not that he's overly optimistic, but the current generals of the Kwantung Army are already quite fragile psychologically. Ogisu Libing was afraid, if he mentioned pessimism again, maybe before the Soviet army attacked, these generals would be crushed by huge mental pressure!

It can't go on like this! Whether it's dead or alive, it's a big deal to fight with all your might. If in the end it is really inevitable to fail, then the long pain is not as good as the short pain.

He has always preferred to be shot in the head rather than die of blood loss from five shots in the chest.

Although the 6th Army, with a large amount of artillery just replenished, it would have no problem at all to rely on the defensive line to resist for another month.

But in that case, although it was safe, it violated the strategic goal of the Kwantung Army Command to win. Relying on defense alone will not be able to cross the Nomenkan, which is a hurdle in the hearts of the Kwantung Army, and only by attacking can there be a chance of victory.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I, the Ogizhou Army, can only be here to pray for everyone. Good luck! Holding back the pessimism in his heart, Ogishu Libing deceived himself and wished everyone well.

"Your Excellency Lieutenant General, rest assured, we will repay the country with death and swear loyalty to the emperor!" A group of Kwantung Army generals who had beaten chicken blood finally squeezed out a trace of momentum after drinking the last bowl of pre-war chicken soup of the Ogizhou Libing.

"Good!" Seeing that his ultimate goal of boosting the morale of these generals who had failed in a row had finally been achieved, the commander of the Ogishu army ended the pre-war meeting with a sigh of relief, and summed up the current situation: "The use of troops is the use of danger, and the absence of danger is no victory." If you can't defeat those Soviets here now, it will be difficult to fight them again in the future. For the sake of the great cause of going north, let us join hands again to create a miracle that determines the fortune of the country! ”

Therefore, the Japanese army in World War II was very fanatical about fighting, and the doorway can be seen from the pre-war meeting of Ogisu Libing alone.

Thinking about it from another angle, the so-called pre-war meeting of the Ogisu Libing actually had nothing to do with the combat aspect at all. From beginning to end, there is only one thing that Ogishu Libing has done, and that is brainwashing, brainwashing over and over again!

On the one hand, it was emphasized that the enemy had already suffered heavy losses from the stubborn fighting of his own side. On the other hand, they moved out of the North Advance faction, moved out of the Emperor, and moved out of the country to shout big slogans and raise everyone's sense of mission. In the future generations, having this brainwashing ability is enough to run to do pyramid schemes to harm people.

It's a pity that in Japan in World War II, there were too many methods of washing, and the number of times was too ordinary, so that many Japanese soldiers were full of crazy thinking such as bushido.

Although this kind of thinking also played a great role in the Battle of Nomenkan, it helped the soldiers of the Kwantung Army to muster up the courage to face the crushing of the Soviet armored forces again and again.

However, in the overall situation, it is certainly not a wise choice to pin the hope of victory on this kind of immature and uncool fanatical thinking.

It is only necessary to make a simple comparison between the German army in Europe and the Japanese army in Asia, which also called for battle, and even ordinary people can see how naïve the Japanese army is to fight the enemy by pure fanatical fighting spirit.

In contrast, the Germans were accustomed to silently striking the enemy like a stream of black iron, while the Japanese always liked to shout hoarsely and rush at the enemy.

From this, it is enough to see which one is calm and calm, and which one is strong outside.

But Ogishu Libing will not think that his thinking is wrong! Compared to the national industrial level, Japan was by no means an opponent of the Soviet Union. In terms of the quality of equipment, even if the Kwantung Army is the "flower of the imperial army", it holds the best equipment in the Japanese army. But compared with the Soviet army, it is still too outdated.

In addition to the spirit, what else can the Kwantung Army compare?
