Chapter 200: The Hybrids of Unit 731 (There Should Be Applause Here)
On the battlefield in Poland, the curtain was about to fall.
On the battlefield in the Far East, a bloody duel has just reached its climax.
Ogisu Libing, who originally thought that the Soviet armored forces were already at the end of their crossbows, found that he had wrongly estimated the armored strength of the Soviet army according to the standards of the Japanese army from the beginning.
Indeed, it was with great difficulty that the All-Japanese Army managed to amass a full-fledged armored division. But although the Soviet army only mobilized one armored brigade in the early stage, this does not mean that Zhukov has only one armored brigade in his hands!
After the four armored brigades transferred by Zhukov arrived on the battlefield, the 1st Tank Division of the Kwantung Army was quickly beaten and cried out, and gradually collapsed.
There is no way, the T-26 tanks of the Soviet army are not only fierce, but also numerous. On the other hand, the 1st Tank Division, which was regarded as a treasure by the Japanese army, was placed in Germany, and it was an armored force that did not enter the stream. In the Soviet Union, it would be at best a quasi-second-rate unit that was slightly more tenacious than a third-rate armored unit.
The armored forces in the hands of the Kwantung Army, according to the original plan of the Ogishu Army, relied on their numerical superiority to maneuver with an armored brigade of the Soviet Army, but it was still feasible.
But as soon as he met the four cutting-edge armored brigades that Zhukov subsequently transferred at one time, he immediately showed fatigue.
But now the only reliable anti-tank weapon in the hands of the Kwantung Army, the "heavy fist handgun", has long been exhausted. If you continue to fight, it is obviously unrealistic to rely only on the suicidal attack of the infantry to block the armored forces of the Soviet army!
In desperation, although they understood that the 1st Tank Division was by no means an opponent of the Soviet armored forces, the Ogishu troops could only let them stay at the front, so that the withdrawn troops could be reorganized and replenished, and they could get a little respite.
Ogisu is not a fool, but his opponent is more shrewd.
At this time, Zhukov had already begun to invest a large amount of infantry in the whole division to further strengthen the firepower density and strength superiority of the forward troops. Although the Soviet army also suffered a large number of casualties as a result, all this was completely bearable for Zhukov, who had deep pockets.
As long as he can maintain a continuous saturation offensive against the Kwantung Army, Zhukov believes that it will not be long before the Far East will usher in a great victory!
................
"General!" A lieutenant colonel of the Kwantung Army, wearing a khaki uniform, worriedly reported to the commander of the 6th Army, Tateshi Ogisu: "The 1st Tank Division is exhausted, and if we can't give them timely support, we may lose the only tank division in the Japanese Empire forever!" β
"I know!" Ogishu Libing frowned and waved his hand, and said in a hoarse voice: "The commander of the 2nd Flying Group, Lieutenant General Toru Saga, has concentrated 3 more fighter-bombing squadrons and went to support the 1st Tank Division regardless of losses, but do you see the effect?" β
"There was no effect, the Soviet Air Force simply did not leave us much opportunity to bomb." The lieutenant colonel replied with his head bowed.
Looking at this lieutenant colonel, who had been the most fanatical among those who had clamored for an attack on the Soviet Union, Ogisu Libing sighed secretly. Perhaps, this lieutenant colonel is now truly understanding how naΓ―ve he used to be. And the self who thought he could defeat the Soviet Union before was naΓ―ve to the point of stupidity.
Ogisu Libing gathered all the officers of the military headquarters, took out a piece of paper and said to them: "The Kwantung Army Headquarters has ordered us to stop the offensive and reorganize the front. β
After a pause, Ogizhou Libing suddenly raised his voice and said, "However, this doesn't mean that we have lost!" The command has already decided to redeploy troops to the Normenhan front. An independent field heavy artillery wing was also transferred from Guannei, and anti-tank rapid-fire artillery squadrons were transferred from Mukden, Bei'an, Qiqihar, and other places to replenish weapons and personnel and increase aircraft and vehicles for the 23rd Division. β
"Plus!" Ogizhou Libing gritted his teeth with a cold face, and said seriously: "The Ishii bacteriological troops are also ready. Now, they're our true secret weapon. β
After speaking, Ogizhou Libing beckoned a military doctor who was transferred from the headquarters code 731 unit to come forward and explain.
The sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked military doctor smiled disgustingly and reported to the officers: "We have prepared a total of 22.5 kilograms of typhoid, cholera, plague, melioidosis and other bacteria. Once all this is sprinkled into the waters of the Haraha River, even if the Soviets are strong....... Hee-hee-hee-hee........ They will also fall ill under our germ offensive. β
"Smack! Syllable! Ogizhou Libing took the lead and clapped his hands twice, and said with a smile: "I heard it, we are really just using the killer weapon." When the Soviets are all sick, it is time for the heavy artillery wing and anti-tank rapid-fire gun squadron transferred from Kannai to be transported to us. At that time, the enemy was weak and I was strong, and victory would surely fall into the hands of our Kwantung Army! β
Hearing that the third secret weapon that Ogisu Tatsubing said before was actually the bacteria of the Ishii Army, many officers felt a chill. Is that terrifying secret force finally going to start?!
Japan's Ishii troops have always been the most secretive and dangerous presence in the Japanese army.
They call it the Ministry of Epidemic Prevention and Water Supply of the Kwantung Army, but they are doing things that are completely contrary to the "release of the epidemic".
In this secret army of more than 3,000 people, there are actually a large number of highly educated doctors.
But this group of people who are supposed to save lives and help the wounded, not only do they not make good use of the knowledge they have learned to benefit mankind, but they cruelly use living people for bacterial experiments all day long, studying anti-human research that the whole world will be jealous of.
The most shameless thing is that Japan, a country, actually strongly supports such research, and regards the abuse of prisoners of war and the use of civilians and prisoners for human experiments as a good deal!?
In China, the Japanese have shamelessly killed countless innocent people for the sake of their experimental data. So far, in the laboratory of the Ishii Army, there have been 3,000 souls who cannot rest in peace!
Why did Reinhardt know that a flank with Japan on the Soviet Union would reduce the burden on the German army in the future, but he was always unable to cross the hurdle in his heart and accept the Japanese enthusiastic offer of cooperation.
Because in his eyes, even if he cooperated with a country like Japan, he won the war. Germany under his leadership would never allow such a frenzied Japan to coexist.
War is a duel between soldiers. The people, but innocent!
And those Japanese mongrels who treat the people of other countries as guinea pigs and trample on human dignity are not worthy of cooperating with themselves!
If we can't exterminate these mongrels, if we let these devils who are inferior to beasts die in their hospital beds, it will be a shame for the entire human civilization!
............
"Please tell General Zhukov that, according to the German understanding of the Japanese army, it is very likely that they will drop bacteriological weapons into the river. Therefore, please also ask your army to avoid contact with the river water as much as possible. β
In the base camp of the Soviet army, the German military observer group led by Lieutenant Colonel McGonagall left a piece of advice for the Soviet army that Reinhardt had instructed.
In fact, in history, the bacteriological tactics used by the Kwantung Army at Nomenkan did not cause significant losses to the Soviet army at all.
It seems that Reinhardt is now just selling the Soviet Union, a favor of little significance. But in fact, it was also an attempt by him to mock Ishii's troops.
He's already killed a mongrel named Kuko Umegawa and doesn't mind killing more mongrels again!
