Now in Feng Tian's hands, in addition to the main battle troops, there are only three garrison divisions that can be used, which is obviously a bit insufficient. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

At the beginning of the expansion, only ten garrison divisions were established, four divisions were sent to the west and southwest, and three divisions were arranged in Rehe.

It is very easy for Feng Tian to expand the army, and the combat effectiveness will probably not be reduced too much by drawing troops from the agricultural reclamation army to supplement the Dao garrison troops. After all, the agricultural reclamation forces are semi-militarized armed forces.

However, the salaries of the soldiers of the agricultural reclamation army were only half of those of the regular army, and expanding the army meant increasing military spending, which put financial pressure on Feng Yong.

It's also this guy who only calculates economic accounts, and he didn't expect that he couldn't pull the bolt today.

But the Northland Volunteer Army has the main combat units of ten armies, and won't pulling it out solve the problem?

This is not good, the main battle force is an armed force used by Fengtian to attack, and it is not pulled out to fight positional warfare.

Besides, positional warfare is not the specialty of the main battle troops, and it is impossible to do such a stupid thing as promoting shortcomings and avoiding strengths.

The three garrison divisions of the Beidi Volunteer Army went out of the no-man's land, and the strength of the two divisions was in front of Zhangwu, and the area of tens of kilometers west of the Liuhe River to Guanshan was laid out, and one division was used as a reserve.

Two divisions, four brigades, a total of eight regiments, chose favorable terrain to build fortifications.

This area is a plain area, with Guanshan in the west and entering the mountainous area in the west, and plains in the east, and a willow river in the east of the battlefield, sandwiched between this uninhabited plain area.

Advancing from Zhangwu, it will soon be able to approach Panjin and threaten the Kwantung Army.

Obviously, this kind of military arrangement of Fengtian has a bit of a provocative flavor.

It doesn't matter if you provoke, but the strength of three divisions is a bit insufficient.

Moreover, Fengtian does not look like an offensive tactic, and the garrison division has already begun to dig trenches.

This Nima's is not an offense, it should be a defensive posture.

Even in a defensive battle, the strength of three divisions is very thin in such a vast area, can it withstand the attack of the Kwantung Army?

The problem is that before this, Feng Tian threatened to take revenge on the Kwantung Army and drive the Japanese army out of the northeast, and with more than 30,000 troops in these three divisions, no matter how you look at it, it is a bit self-conscious and unashamed.

People can be shameless, and they can't be so shameless.

Announcing a counteroffensive in a high-profile manner, but ordering the army to dig trenches, this kind of military deployment is not an offensive.

Feng Tian's skin is thick enough, I just did it, what have you said before, is it important?

If you want to ask, there are many reasons for sealing the sky, soldiers are impermanent, and water is impermanent, are there so many rules for fighting?

Feng Tian naturally has his reasons for doing this, as for why it is arranged like this, only he knows.

It may also be as he said, the strength of the three divisions should be a pawn to push one step forward, and there must be a move in the next step.

What the specific next move to seal the sky will look like, I'm afraid it depends on how the Japanese Kwantung Army goes, and how many troops can be sent to deal with the layout of the sky.

When the enemy moves, I move, and there are contacts is the chess game.

No, the Northland Volunteer Army increased its strength in the no-man's land and lined up in the south of Zhangwu, and the Kwantung Army Headquarters soon knew.

"Eight Ge Yalu, Fengtiankou keeps saying that he wants to counterattack and recover the lost territory in the Northeast, why do you build a position in Zhangwu, it doesn't make sense." The commander of the Kwantung Army, General Ueda Kaneyoshi, was confused, and he couldn't figure out what kind of oolong formation Feng Tian was putting up. "I said, just put up three divisions to counterattack, do you think the Kwantung Army is a paper army? It has been three or five years since Feng Tian fled from the Northeast, and the strength of the army in his hands can be developed to ten divisions, and besides, controlling such a large territory, how many troops can be used to fight the Kwantung Army, and bragging is not as arrogant as him. ”

General Ueda Kaneyoshi thought that Feng Tian would take the initiative to attack the Kwantung Army, and arranged two divisions in Panjin to prevent it, so as to deal with the unexpected, who knew that it was useless to work for half a day, and Feng Tian began to set up Oolong Town.

Lieutenant General Hideki Tojo, Chief of the General Staff of the Kwantung Army, had similar thoughts to General Kaneyoshi Ueda, and he didn't understand Fengtian's intentions for a while.

After pondering for a long time, Lieutenant General Hideki Tojo spoke: "Ueda-kun, I think this Fengtian is bluffing, and all parties in the country have reached an agreement to deal with the imperial army together.

Now that all parties have begun to act, it is likely that Feng Tian feels that he has not done something and cannot explain to the people, so he has played this hand, and its purpose is only to fool their allies.

You see, he warned and issued a statement over and over again, what is his intention?

If it were really a war, the Northland Volunteers would not need to make such a gesture at all.

Even if Feng Tian had ten divisions in his hands, it was only 100,000 troops, which was far from the 130,000 troops of the five divisions of the Kwantung Army.

This also shows that Feng Tian did not have the courage to attack the Kwantung Army, nor did he have this kind of strength.

However, as the military strength of one side, in order to give an explanation to the people, it is not impossible to take a formality. In my opinion, this is just a gesture from Feng Tian. ”

The words of Lieutenant General Hideki Tojo, chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, immediately woke up the confused commander General Ueda Kaneyoshi.

General Ueda Kaneyoshi slapped his thigh with his hand, using a little too much force, grinning in pain, this guy didn't care about the pain, and said: "Ya Xi, Tojo-kun is too right, this Feng Tian put on a menacing shelf, obviously scaring people, and he doesn't have the courage and the ability to attack the Kwantung Army." However, this guy put the army at the door of the Kwantung Army to show off his might, which is really breathtaking. If the Kwantung Army does not act, it seems that it will damage the face of the empire, and it will be tolerable or unbearable. ”

General Ueda Kaneyoshi was resentful and could not bear the provocation of the sealed sky.

Although Chief of Staff Hideki Tojo said what he just said, he was still muttering in his heart.

Without him, it is really too cunning for this Fengtian reputation.

Lieutenant General Hideki Tojo is still pondering carefully, is this guy Fengtian trying to play conspiracy?

So, how does Feng Tian want to play, and what plan is to attack the west?

If Feng Tian wants to play a plan to attack the east and the west, it is to use troops in western Liaoning.

However, this is absolutely impossible.

Because, before this, Tojo Hideki had already analyzed with General Ueda Kaneyoshi, Fengtian wanted to send troops to Rehe, and Liaoxi was his place of death.

A smart person like Feng Tian would never do such a stupid thing.

Excluding the land of Liaoxi, then, in which direction will Fengtian use his troops?

The chief of staff, Lieutenant General Hideki Tojo, thought for a long time and didn't figure out a clue, he had a headache.

The commander, General Ueda Kaneyoshi, looked at Hideki Tojo and was speechless, and asked, "What are you thinking, so worried." ”

Lieutenant General Hideki Tojo raised his head and said, "I was wondering just now if Feng Tian was trying to play a conspiracy and play a strategy of attacking the east and the west. However, after thinking about it for a long time, I didn't have a clue.

It is impossible for Liaoxi to attack Jilin in the east, and it is even more impossible, as long as the Kwantung Army goes north to cut off their way back, it will also be a dead end. In this way, it really is not a tactic to attack the east and west, and it may be a bluff. ”

Chief of Staff Hideki Tojo has analyzed it very thoroughly, and Feng Tian is clearly playing false, just for show, and will never take the initiative to attack.

So, how should the Kwantung Army respond?

Commander General Ueda Kaneyoshi and Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Hideki Tojo, both of them look at me and I look at you, but they don't know how to respond.

After a while, the chief of staff, Hideki Tojo, spoke, and said: "Or, the Kwantung Army will not move, just monitor the movements of the Northern Volunteers, and let the conspiracy of sealing the sky fail." Or, the Kwantung Army took the initiative to drive the Northland Volunteers away and keep them farther away. However, it seems that taking the initiative to attack is contrary to the guiding ideology of the military department. ”

This matter was indeed a bit scratching, and General Ueda Kaneyoshi frowned and said: "The Northland Volunteer Army set up a position at the door of the Kwantung Army, and although it did not take the initiative to attack the Kwantung Army, it made our side lose its prestige.

If the Kwantung Army does not take military action, then it is necessary to endure this breath and wait in shame. Feng Tian is too deceitful, Tojo-kun, do you think the Kwantung Army can accept this kind of shame? ”

This question is really difficult to answer, and Lieutenant General Hideki Tojo is silent.

Indeed, if the Kwantung Army watched the Northland Volunteers show off their might at home like this, without any reaction, it would indeed have a feeling of being humiliated by the heavens.

However, the Army General Staff Headquarters has clearly instructed the Kwantung Army to deal with the Northland Volunteers cautiously and try not to take the initiative to attack.

If you ignore the provocation of the Northland Volunteers, this breath is really difficult to swallow, and it is not good to take the initiative to attack the Northland Volunteers, after all, the Japanese Army Staff Headquarters has something to say first.

Nima, it's really obvious that he's bullying.

In fact, Lieutenant General Hideki Tojo couldn't bear this breath, how could he let Feng Tian show off his might like this at his door, and his arrogance must be defeated.

After thinking about it, Chief of Staff Hideki Tojo spoke: "Ueda-kun, I think so, order the 24th and 25th Divisions of the Imperial Army to advance and confront the Northland Volunteers.

Of course, don't go to war for the time being, and see what tricks Feng Tian plays.

If the Northland Volunteers still don't move, it means that we are right.

As for the reason for going to war, it is actually very easy to handle, and in the course of the confrontation between the two armies, it is inevitable that a misfire will be missed, and even if the war starts, the army staff headquarters has nothing to say about it. ”

Chief of Staff Hideki Tojo's words immediately made the commander General Ueda Kaneyoshi clapped his hands and praised, stretched out his thumb to praise, and said: "It is worthy of being my chief of staff, high, it is really a good move." To fight or not to fight, the initiative is on our side, and we have not violated the instructions of the War Department, so we just did it. ”

The commander of the Kwantung Army, Ueda Kaneyoshi, immediately ordered the 24th and 25th Divisions of the Kwantung Army stationed in Panjin to immediately move north to prevent the Beidi Volunteers from moving south and threatening the Kwantung Army.

At the same time, the other three divisions were ordered to move closer to Panjin in case of emergency. (To be continued.) )
