The Northern Volunteers led by Feng Tian rose rapidly, and caused the Japanese army to suffer defeats and extremely heavy losses. Heavenly Sound『『.』 ⒉

What the Japanese are most afraid of is not the strength of the Northland Volunteers, but the tactics of sealing the sky.

Fengtian is unpredictable with soldiers, if you don't fight, it will be a devastating battle, and under the continuous blows, the Japanese people have a deep fear of Fengtian in their hearts.

When Fengtian occupied Han Province entirely, the Japanese were not reconciled.

Although the Japanese were unwilling to lose this occupied area in Northeast Asia, in addition to the lack of sufficient troops on their own territory, they did not dare to launch a counterattack against the Northland Volunteers because they were afraid of sealing the sky.

How powerful the Northland Volunteer Army is, the Japanese have no bottom in their hearts.

The information that the Japanese people knew was only some of the contents they learned from German diplomats, and they analyzed the extent of the destruction of the Japanese Kwantung Army and came to the conclusion that the Northland Volunteer Army was invincible.

However, none of this is conclusive.

Now that the Northland Volunteers occupy the opposite Han Province and also have a navy, the Japanese are even more uneasy.

Although the navy of the Japanese people is known as the largest in Asia, it can be regarded as a maritime power even in the world. However, they were facing Fengtian, and although the other side only had two aircraft carrier battle groups, the Japanese did not dare to be careless at all.

In July, the Japanese navy sent a gunboat to test the naval strength of the Northland Volunteers, but sadly, not even a telegram returned.

The Japanese warship that was following the Japanese navy to observe in the far sea could only see a flash of fire in the distance from the telescope, and faintly heard the sound of explosions, and the gunboat quickly sank in the sea.

The actual battle situation was that several torpedoes and several shells of surface ships of the Northland Volunteer Navy were fired in a salvo under water, and the warship disintegrated in an instant as a result of the explosion at almost the same time.

The loss of a small warship of less than 1,000 tons did not make the Japanese feel distressed.

Sinking a small warship is not a big deal, but the opponent's warship is also one, but it can sink the Japanese warship in such a short time, and it is a crushing destruction, I believe that the Japanese warship itself will not be able to do it.

Of course, the Japanese Navy did not know that there were submarines under water.

Maybe they can guess, but it doesn't matter, what matters is the strike capability of the Northland Volunteer Navy, which is quite amazing.

In this small naval battle, not even a single wave was set off, and neither side reported it to the outside world.

The Japanese did not want to offend the Northland Volunteers, this was just a test, hoping to get a little information about the naval strength of the Northland Volunteers.

However, this information is sufficient.

The Japanese finally realized that the Northland Volunteers were very strong both on the road and at sea, and that it was impossible for the Japanese to carry out a counteroffensive against Han Province or defeat the Northland Volunteers with the strength they possessed.

In addition to the strength of the Northland Volunteer Army, the main thing is that the person Fengtian is too mysterious, which is what the Japanese people fear the most.

Looking back at the previous battles between Fengtian and the Japanese army, Fengtian's tactics were very ferocious, almost all the wars destroyed the Japanese army, and most of the elite of the emperor's ** team were wiped out by the whole system of the Fengtian side, rather than other forces.

What does this comparison say about the Japanese war against the Nationalist government's million-strong army in southern China and their losses were not as great as in a single battle against Fengtian? It shows that the overall strength of the Beidi Volunteer Army is several times that of the Nationalist Government's million-strong army, and even stronger.

After figuring out this reality, do the Japanese still dare to fight back?

In the past, the Japanese people clamored for three months to defeat China, but now it seems that this is nonsense, with the Beidi Volunteer Army, the Japanese Japanese can no longer take risks. Who knows when Fengtian will suddenly move, and in all the battles before this, the Japanese people have not made a correct judgment.

If it angers Feng Tian, who knows which day it will suddenly attack again, and the Japanese army will have no place to cry.

Fortunately, this person has the advantage of always making a little noise before every action, and then he will act.

In the past, the Japanese did not pay attention to this problem, and recently the military department has been studying the strategic thinking of sealing the sky, but the conclusion reached is depressing, this person is irregular, unpredictable.

With such a figure as Feng Tian and the powerful Northland Volunteers, there is no hope of conquering China, and the reason why the Japanese army has not withdrawn from the big 6 is just to plunder some more wealth.

The Japanese army shrank its forces in the Great 6, shortened the logistical supply routes, and changed from an offensive posture to a defensive one.

Originally, the 18th Group Army was changing from a defensive posture to an offensive posture, and the strategic change of the Japanese was clearly felt on the battlefield.

The change in the strategy of the Japanese and Japanese forces undoubtedly created an opportunity for the 18th Group Army to quickly accelerate the strategic change and carry out an active attack on the Japanese and Japanese invading forces.

The Eighteenth Group Army was extremely aggressive, and the Japanese army only resisted passively, and after half a year, only one seaport remained in Shandong, Qindao, and it would not be long before most of the country would be included.

In fact, the Japanese army was also shrinking in the southern battlefield, although it was a little slower than the northern battlefield, but the grand strategy was no longer changeable.

However, the Nationalist Government did not seize this opportunity, and Chairman Chiang did not keenly anticipate this opportunity, and was militarily half a beat slower, so far there has been no major military action.

It can be believed that if Lao Chiang also launched an offensive, the Japanese army would inevitably retreat.

At this point, the strategic retreat of the Japanese could not be more obvious.

The Japanese could only believe the words of the German ambassador, the Chinese were good at infighting, and the Japanese army gradually withdrew from the big 6, that is, the beginning of their mutual fighting.

Perhaps, Feng Tian will win in this fight, or perish in this fight.

In short, once there is a civil war in China, the threat of Fengtian to the Japanese will be greatly weakened, or even disappear.

In this regard, the Japanese and Japanese countries have beautiful fantasies and wait for the heavens to disappear in the long river of history.

The war will continue, and the ambitions of the Japanese people have not disappeared because of the existence of Fengtian.

And to support the Japanese army in war, it needs strategic energy, and the Japanese have already begun to look for oil in Siberia.

However, they don't have the ability to seal the sky, people seal the sky and point out a piece of place casually, the drilling of oil companies goes down, and the oil is bubbling out. However, looking at the situation of the Japanese people is a bit of a backpoint, and there is no trace of oil in Siberia so far.

Well, the Japanese set their sights on Southeast Asia, where at least there were oil fields in the Dutch East Indies.

However, if we want to conduct a long-term war and do not control the strategic materials in Southeast Asia, especially oil, we will not be able to sustain the Japanese-Japanese war.

Originally, there had always been a dispute between the two factions of the "northward advance" and the "southward advance" in the Japanese General Staff Headquarters.

The "northward march" faction advocated attacking the Soviet Union and expanding in the direction of Siberia when the time came.

The "southward" faction advocated expansion into Southeast Asia.

Facts have proven that the strategy of advancing northward is incomparably correct, and the Japanese Far East Army has achieved brilliant results.

The victory of the northward advance allowed the Japanese mainland to be connected to Siberia through the four northern islands, Sakhalin Island, and also gained an inland sea.

After the "October Revolution", the civil war, the defeat by Poland and the Soviet-Finnish war, Lao Maozi was much weaker than Britain and the United States, and the "northward expansion" was a relatively safe expansion plan.

If the Japanese army wanted to launch a strategy of "advancing southward," it had to "confront the Western powers," and this strategy was very risky.

In the second half of 1941, the Soviet army was repeatedly defeated under the German blitzkrieg, and most of the main forces were annihilated.

If the Japanese and Japanese had chosen to "advance northward" in the national strategic direction, they would certainly have disregarded the constraints of the treaty and would not hesitate to seize this golden opportunity to cooperate with Hitler's Germany in sending troops to the Soviet Far East, just as the Soviet Union at the end of the war had joined the war against Japan in disregard of the constraints of the treaty, the Japanese Sixth Army could cross Mongolia to cut off the Trans-Siberian Railway, and the air force could simply advance to the airfield to carry out the bombing of the heavy industry and military production areas east of the Urals and in Siberia. Japan's powerful navy could attack any point on the coastline of the Soviet Far East and carry out the Deng-6.

Historically, if a country is strategically caught between two powerful countries, it will undoubtedly lose.

Germany in World War I is a typical example, and Russia and France during World War I were no rivals at all if they were "single-handed" with Germany.

What's more, the Soviet army at the beginning of World War II was far inferior to Germany in World War I, so how could it withstand the two-sided attack of Germany and Japan?

The fact that the Soviet Union had established a "non-aggression pact" with Japan and Japan showed that it was very afraid of being caught in the desperate situation of fighting under the attack of the Japanese and German armies on both sides.

Albert Seaton, an Englishman who is an authoritative scholar of the Soviet-German battlefield in the West, said: "Of course, if the Japanese and Japanese could also participate in the war against the Soviet Union in June, instead of attacking the United States and Britain at the end of the year, Germany might have won the victory at the end of the year." ”

The Japanese mainly relied on the United States for oil and energy, and Japan's domestic oil reserves could only last for a year and a half during wartime.

If the war continues, the most optimistic estimate of the Japanese 6th Army Department is that the war will continue for several more years.

As far as Japan is concerned, the automatic return to a state of peace after "retreating after exhaustion" is not considered at all, and the Japanese have no choice but to carry out the war to the end for the sake of their hegemonic ambitions.

In order for the war to continue, it is necessary to seize the necessary strategic materials such as oil, rubber, and iron ore in Southeast Asia, which is a colony of Western countries, and to seize these war materials will inevitably involve them in a war with the United States and Britain.

Now the Japanese army has lost hope of occupying the entire Great 6, and has officially decided to change the strategic goal.

As a result, the Japanese Sixth Army Command had already begun to draw up an offensive plan against the United States, Britain, and the Netherlands, drawing up a detailed operational plan in advance for each area and battlefield it intended to invade, and then summing it up to draw up a comprehensive plan.

Finally, it took several months to integrate the operational plan of the Sixth Army and the Navy, study the coordinated combat plan, and formulate the entire operational plan.

By about August 1938, the plan for the coordinated operations of the 6th Army of the Navy had been largely completed.

In September, the 6th Army successively gathered all the operational staff officers at the meeting place of the 6th Navy in Miyakesaka, Tokyo, and worked intensively for a month to concentrate on studying the final plan.

After the initial completion of the exercise, the exercise on the map will be carried out on the basis of this operational plan within 10 months.

The chiefs of staff and principal staff officers of all the armies scheduled to take part in the southern operations, as well as the operational command staff of the General Staff Headquarters, all attended the meeting, and discussed in detail the offensive plans for various parts of the southern region in the early stage of the war.

Starting on January 1, a total of five days of exercises took place in the 6 Army University.

Throughout the month of January, the plan for coordinated operations of the 6 Army and the Navy was completed, and it was already decided that there was no need for revision.

On November 15, the chief of staff of the 6th Army, Sugiyama Moto, and the head of the naval Nagano Shushen Military Command Department, two war commanders, gave Emperor Hirohito a detailed account of the southern battle plan.

According to the latest Japanese and Japanese operational plans, the plan of the first phase of the 6th Army was to occupy important resource areas and destroy the enemy's main base areas in Southeast Asia.

The first step of the Japanese strategy was to occupy the Indochina Peninsula first.

On the basis of completing the first strategy, the second part will attack; Philippines, Malay Peninsula, Guam, Thailand, Myanmar, Java, Sumatra, Borneo, Sulawesi, Barnyard Islands, Tihan, etc.

Among them, the Philippines belongs to the colony of the United States, and once it moves to fight the 6th battle against the Philippine Island, it will inevitably tear its face with the Americans.

Therefore, the plan for the US colony of the Philippines to ascend to the 6 must be pushed back, and the war plan against the United States must be launched after the military occupation of the Indochina Peninsula has been resolved.

If the Japanese army goes to war against the US military, the Americans will inevitably stop supplying energy and other strategic materials, and the Japanese will have a reason to repay their debts, and it will be impossible for the Americans to recover their loans.

The second strategic operation should start at the same time in the Philippines and Pearl Harbor with the close coordination of the six navies, and the goal must be achieved in a short period of time.

In order to achieve this goal, the Sixth Army plans to dispatch 11 divisions and two flight groups, and the Navy to dispatch the Second Fleet, the Third Fleet, the Southern Fleet, and the Eleventh Air Fleet. The 6 Army Air Force has about 700 first-line aircraft and more than 1,600 naval offensive aircraft, totaling about 400,000 people.

At the end of 1938, Emperor Wa officially approved the plan for the southward movement.

The new year began, and at the end of January, after receiving an annual loan from the United States, the Japanese could no longer bear it anymore and finally moved south to fight.

A large number of Japanese troops crossed the border from Guangdong into North Vietnam, opening the prelude to the war in the south.

The arrogant Gallic chickens were not prepared at all, and even if they were prepared, they probably could not stop the locust-like Japanese army from attacking, and North Vietnam and Laos were occupied by the Japanese Japanese army in a very short time.

The French are bullying the uncivilized barbarians, relying on the hot weapons in their hands to dominate the king, facing the beast-like Japanese army, accustomed to facing the weak French ** team has no ability to resist, Hanoi has been controlled by the Japanese army.

The Indochina Peninsula was full of war, and the Japanese army drove straight into the south, advancing to the south with an unstoppable momentum......
