Section VIII Turning Point XII
The sky of Beiping City is high and cool, the sun shines on the ground hotly, the city is swollen and the Yang Banner has a weak head, the back of the Japanese soldiers and the puppet army standing guard in front of the city gate is a large area of sweat, the long team out of the city and the team into the city are lined up along both sides of the doorway, and the puppet army is checked one by one under the supervision of the Japanese soldiers.
As the sedan passed by, the soldiers standing guard at the gate all raised their hands and saluted, and the sedan passed through the streets of Beiping, where pedestrians and rickshaw drivers took refuge.
The sedan crossed the Jinshui Bridge, entered the Forbidden City, and stopped at the Forbidden City Square.
"This is the Forbidden City", the major general looked at the majestic palace, the bright yellow tiles shining dazzlingly in the sun, and the tall palace walls were draped in thick history. The major general sighed with emotion: "It's really unaffordable, it is really unremarkable that such a brilliant building can be built by means hundreds of years ago." ”
"Yes, it's a pity that for a hundred years, China has weakened, and this brilliant civilization has affected the entire East Asia and Southeast Asia, it's a pity." Nishio Shouzo is also envious and emotional.
"The commanders are right, precisely because they are in decline. We, the Yamato nation, have a chance. Behind them, Tachitakanosuke spoke, "General Qin Yan, the Yamato nation must seize the opportunity. Conquer China and open the waves thousands of miles away, otherwise the Yamato nation will never have a chance again. ”
Major General Qin Yanzaburo was the deputy chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, and he came to North China to contact the matter of a joint sweep of the Rehe, Suiyuan, Chahar, and the Eighth Route Army and the Jin Army.
Know, 10,000
The Eighth Route Army was active frequently in Rehe and Chahar, and at the same time this year, Abe Guixiu, a well-known mountain warfare expert of the Japanese army, was killed in Chahar, while Fu Zuoyi's department of the Jin Army was active in Jieyuan, and in May this year, Fu Zuoyi counterattacked Baotou, and the Baotou garrison suffered heavy casualties.
"Ligaojun. I've seen your strategy and frankly, I'm shocked. Japan has few strategic geniuses, and now it can finally make up for it. Qin Yan Saburo said briskly.
Qin Yan Saburo is very clear about his mission, on the surface he is here to coordinate the operation, in fact, the cabinet's decision made the Kwantung Army very dissatisfied, Nishio Shouzo's memorandum has been transmitted to Manchuria, the strategy proposed in this memorandum is deeply in line with the taste of the Kwantung Army, but the cabinet's decision made them deeply disappointed, and they are in tandem in disappointment. Umezu Mijiro was asked to emulate the Rogou Bridge Incident. Set aside the cabinet and take the initiative.
This time, he came to Peking to negotiate with the North China Dispatch Army. Once the Kwantung Army takes the initiative, it hopes to get the support of the North China Dispatch Army.
Soon after arriving in Beiping, Qin Yan Saburo held talks with Nishio Shouzo, and Nishio Shouzo also asked Tatsunosuke to attend the meeting, at which Qin Yan Saburo first introduced the strength and equipment of the Kwantung Army, as well as the situation of the Soviet Russian Far East troops they mastered.
At present, the total strength of the Russian Far East troops is about 1.2 million, distributed in China, Russia and Mongolia, including about 800 tanks and about 2,000 heavy artillery. The Far Eastern Fleet had five cruisers, two battleships, and all of them were old-fashioned, with a thousand aircraft; Compared with the current Kwantung Army, there are about 750,000 people and 600 tanks, including about 370 old-fashioned blade tanks, 260 new-style tanks, and 1,600 heavy artillery pieces. Four hundred aircraft. In addition, there are 180,000 troops stationed in Mongolia, 200 old-fashioned tanks and 80 aircraft; The Korean Front has more than 60,000 troops. There are no tanks, thirty planes?
In the comparison of the strength of the two sides, the Kwantung Army did not have an advantage, so Qin Yanzaburo hoped that after the Kwantung Army took the initiative, the North China Dispatch Army could transfer troops to support, and at least 200,000 troops would need to be transferred.
But this request made Nishio Shouzo very difficult, and the strength of the North China Dispatch Army was already insufficient. The ongoing retaliatory sweep of the Eighth Route Army in North China was also carried out by drawing troops from various places.
The talks reached an impasse, and Tachitakanosuke suggested adjourning the meeting and inviting Major General Qin Yan Saburo to visit the ancient capital of Beiping for a day. Then the meeting resumed.
In the face of Qin Yan Saburo's praise, Tatsutakanosuke was sincerely humble: "There, the general has a good reputation, and I have always admired General Ishihara's strategy. He is the Empire's first-class strategist. ”
When it comes to Ishihara Waner, Nishio Shouzo and Qin Yan Saburo are not open, Ishihara Waner was once considered the brain of the Japanese Army, but after the Lugou Bridge Incident, it was contrary to the mainstream consciousness of the Army, and was gradually excluded from the Army's decision-making circle, and now it has been transferred to the reserve. He was placed under residential surveillance by the gendarmerie.
A group of people slowly moved forward, carefully observing the tall white marble stone carvings along the way, the quaint Japanese storm, Jialiang and lifelike copper turtles, copper cranes, and copper tripods on the Dan Majesty.
"It's really breathtaking" Seeing the huge corona, Qin Yan Saburo sighed again: "The people of China are really a surprising people, the timekeeping tools invented thousands of years ago are so accurate, and they are not much different from clocks."
"Yes, Qin Yanjun, you think too highly of them" Nishio Shouzo shook his head slightly: "The Chinese nation is a great people's brain, and the two people have a huge shortcoming, that is, they have no perseverance, they are good at forgetting, and the people who are better than them are excellent in perseverance and perseverance." Since the Tang Dynasty, the Yamato nation has been yearning for the development of the mainland, and we have persisted for thousands of years, and today we have the opportunity to succeed. Therefore, we must seize this opportunity. Otherwise, we will have to fight for thousands of years
"The commander is right, we must seize this opportunity". Tatsutakanosuke circled around the corona, and then turned to carefully observe Kashi: "So this is a shipwreck, and attacking Soviet Russia is a shipwreck, and only by defeating Soviet Russia can the current unfavorable situation be reversed." ”
"Attacking Soviet Russia, if it is only about the Eastern Army, it will definitely not work." Qin Yan Saburo sighed, and Tachitakanosuke shook his head and said, "General Qin Yan, in fact, there is still a force in the Kwantung Army, the Manyuan National Defense Army. Two hundred thousand Manchurian Defense Forces. Manchuria had arsenals, steel plants, and expanded the 200,000 Manchurian Wehrmacht to 500,000 to 1 million
Nishio Shouzo's expression moved slightly, a little excited, as if he had found a clever way to solve the problem, Qin Yan Saburo flashed from his own light, and only sighed for a long time: "Ligaojun, you are wrong, there are no 200,000 Manchurian Defense Forces." Now there are only sixty thousand. ”
Ligao Nosuke was stunned, and it took a long time before Nuo Nuo asked rhetorically: "I remember that the Manchukuo Law of War stipulates that 200,000 people are conscripted for military training every year, why is it only 60,000?" ”
"How many have been trained?" Nishio Shouzo asked disappointed.
Qin Yan Saburo sighed, walked towards the hall without answering, Nishio Shouzo and Tatsutakanosuke understood. There were only 60,000 people who had been trained, and the two of them looked at each other and smiled bitterly, and followed him into the main hall.
After entering the hall, a majesty rushed to the face, and several people couldn't help but stand still. Look up into the depths of the main hall. This Taihe Hall is the place where the emperor convenes the court meeting, the gold bricks in the hall are paved, seventy-two pillars support all the weight of the hall, the nine dragons in the depths of the hall are lacquered thrones, and the two sides are six huge pillars with the pattern of the golden cloud dragon. Behind the throne are seven large screens carved with cloud dragon patterns. There is a total of Luo Jinlong entwined on the chair circle, and the largest dragon stands in the center of the back of the chair; There are no usual chair legs under the chair surface, but a Sumeru base, which is open-carved with double dragon play beads at the waist, and is full of gold lacquer.
Marvel at the delicacy and grandeur of the main hall. The three of them involuntarily stood on their feet and didn't say a word for a long time. Over the centuries, it has witnessed the glory and decline of the imperial dynasty. When the empire was at its peak, it ruled the fate of all of East and Southeast Asia. The vast starry sky, the stars are moving, and now this place is decaying. Only this carved painting building is left for people to remember.
"Every time I come here, I can feel that mystery and majesty, and every time I look at the high platform, I think that no matter who sits there, I am afraid that there will be the majesty of an emperor." Nishio Shouzo was very emotional, he came here more than once in the past few years to watch, and every time he was full of emotion.
Qin Yan Saburo walked towards the throne of the high platform: "Nishio-kun, the fault of the people of China is here, it is always external things to make up for the internal shortcomings, the majesty is not set off by these bells and whistles, the majesty of the emperor can only be enhanced by one thing, that is, strong national strength." A weak empire cannot have majesty. ”
"General Qin Yan said well, the Yuan Empire, the Ming Empire, and the Qing Empire all built their capitals here. They were all once brilliant. But they all fell, why? In the end, it's better to live in peace. Tatetakanosuke was also very emotional.
"Wei Zheng, a famous minister of the Tang Dynasty, once said that if history is used as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall;" Nishio Shouzo said: "Every time I come here, I think about this question, why there is a change of dynasty in Shina every few hundred years. The Great Japanese Empire has always been the same, but what about the future? The empire now seems to be smooth sailing, but in fact there are many dangers, and the trend of China, the United States, Britain and the Soviet Union joining forces to besiege the empire is gradually taking shape. We must be prepared for danger in times of peace, otherwise, the glory of the empire will not last long, just like that throne, it will soon be reduced to yesterday's yellow flowers, withering like cherry blossoms
These words were very heavy, so heavy that Qin Yan Saburo and Tatsutaka Nosuke could not speak, and the hall fell silent. There was so silence that only the sound of heavy breathing remained.
"I still think that only by going north can we have a chance." It took a long time for Takanosuke to break the silence: "The lack of troops can be made up for by strategy and tactics, the focus of the attack on Soviet Russia is to occupy Vladivittok, and the line of attack only reaches the Outer Khingan Mountains, and the north of the Outer Khingan Mountains is a bitter cold land." Soviet Russia did not develop at all. It could be destroyed by the air force, while the army relied on the Trans-Khingan Mountains to build a defensive line. With such a limited attack, the number of troops should be sufficient. In addition, the construction of the Manchurian Defense Forces could be strengthened. Within a year, 500,000 Manchurian Defense Forces were trained to fill the weakness of the Imperial Army's insufficient strength. ”
