Chapter 372: Does Feng Tian have the courage?

The commander of the Kwantung Army, General Ueda Kaneyoshi, received an order from Prince Kanihito Miyayaji, the chief of staff of the Japanese Army, ordering the Kwantung Army to pay close attention to the movements of the Northern Volunteers and prevent a sneak attack on the Kwantung Army.

Senior General Ueda Kaneyoshi didn't care too much, and looked at Lieutenant General Hideki Tojo, the chief of staff, shook his head and said: "Prince Zaihito of the Kanin Palace is making a little fuss, can the Northland Volunteer Army scare the Kwantung Army with a statement?" ā€

As the new commander of the Kwantung Army, the commander, General Ueda Kaneyoshi, and the chief of staff, Lieutenant General Hideki Tojo, had never fought against Fengten, and according to the arrogant personality of the Japanese army, it was not surprising that they had such an attitude.

However, Lieutenant General Hideki Tojo, chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, still reminded the commander General Ueda Kaneyoshi: "Ueda-kun, when the former commander General Minamijiro stepped down, he repeatedly told him to be careful of this person, who is cunning and fierce, and the imperial army has suffered a lot of losses at his hands, and has also lost many elites, so don't be careless." ā€

"Tojo-kun, these commanders you said know that the Kwantung Army will not be fooled again. On the other hand, looking at the previous achievements of the Northland Volunteers, that time was not a conspiracy, and almost none of them belonged to the results of frontal battles.

This illustrates the fact that the combat power of the Kitachi Volunteers is not as strong as General Minamijiro said.

Both sides of the war, if they want to achieve victory, are nothing more than to play to their strengths and avoid their weaknesses.

The Kwantung Army did not play to its strengths before, while the Northland Volunteers avoided their weaknesses and avoided confrontation with the Kwantung Army head-on, setting traps everywhere to lure the Kwantung Army into the trap.

The Twentieth Division, the Fourteenth Division, the Sixth Division, and the Eighth Division, which division was sealed and lost? It's not that the Imperial Army can't defeat the Northland Volunteers, and if they go head-to-head, local armed forces like the Northland Volunteers are no match for the Kwantung Army at all.

This time, Feng Tian was clamoring for revenge, how could he retaliate, if he didn't take the initiative to send troops to stay in the lair and shout to retaliate against the imperial army, would this be useful?

This commander really wanted Fengtian to retaliate and take the initiative to attack the Kwantung Army.

Hehe, in that case, all his tricks will be ineffective.

The Kwantung Army is waiting for the Northland Volunteers, and I'm afraid that this guy is just talking. "The commander of the Kwantung Army, General Ueda Kaneyoshi, was very contemptuous of Fengtian's intimidation, although General Nanjiro had been instructed to change the attitude of General Ueda Kaneyoshi, is a local armed force worthy of so much attention from the imperial army?

Lieutenant General Hideki Tojo, chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, felt that what the commander said was also reasonable, yes, looking at the defeat of the imperial army, it was all a conspiracy and calculation that was sealed in the sky, and every war was lost in a face-to-face confrontation.

In other words, Feng Tian knew his flaws and took advantage of the arrogant weakness of the Kwantung Army to set up a targeted strategy.

This time, Feng Tian is clamoring for revenge against the Imperial Army, and if it is true, then it must take the initiative to attack.

Frontal combat was the strength of the Kwantung Army, and wouldn't it be more conducive to the Imperial Army's operations?

Feng Tian dealt with the strengths of the Kwantung Army with its weakness, and the Kwantung Army should be happy.

Thinking about it in this way, Lieutenant General Hideki Tojo, chief of staff, suddenly felt relieved and said: "Calling for the west, Ueda-kun is reasonable, the Kwantung Army waits for work at ease, and waits for the Northern Volunteers to send it to the door." If Feng Tian had the guts, it would be better for the Northland Volunteers to cross the no-man's land and approach Liaodong, and the Kwantung Army avoided the head-on attack, so that they would not return. ā€

"Hey, you're talking about the Northland Volunteers going south from the no-man's land, not from Rehe, why do you make this judgment?" The commander, Admiral Ueda Kaneyoshi, was very surprised by the judgment of Chief of Staff Hideki Tojo and couldn't help but ask.

Chief of Staff Hideki Tojo looked smug and said: "The reason is actually very simple, the Northland Volunteer Army has densely spread forts in the Rehe area, and it has adopted a defensive strategy, which is one of them. Second, the Liaoxi Passage is long and narrow, and it is indeed the choke point of the imperial army, but if the Beidi Volunteers send troops from Rehe, there is not much room for maneuver in this section of the passage, and it is easy to be intercepted by the imperial army at both ends. The most important point is that Liaoxi is near the sea, and the main garrison cities are within the range of naval guns, and the Beidi Volunteers are also looking for death when they come. ā€

I have to say that Hideki Tojo's analysis has estimated all the possibilities, and Feng Tian really has no plan to send troops from Rehe.

The commander of the Kwantung Army, General Ueda Kaneyoshi, suddenly realized that what Hideki Tojo said made sense.

"Yeoxi, in this case, the Kwantung Army has a better chance of winning, and the army is assembled in the Panjin area in advance, waiting for Fengtian to throw himself into the net. An arrogant fellow who thinks he's great when he doesn't run into an opponent, this time Commander Ben wants you to look good. The commander of the Kwantung Army, General Ueda Kaneyoshi, had a hideous look on his face and vowed to fight back against the challenge of sealing the sky.

At present, the Kwantung Army has the armed forces of the 1st Division, the 9th Division, the 10th Division, the 24th Division, and the 25th Division.

Among them, the 1st Division, the 9th Division, and the 10th Division are among the 17 first-class divisions and regiments of the Japanese and Japanese Empires, and there are only a few divisions and regiments left at present.

These seventeen first-class divisions, the second, sixth, eighth, fourteenth, and twentieth divisions no longer exist forever, plus the three first-class divisions of the Kwantung Army, there are still nine first-class divisions left outside.

In other words, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army has greatly decreased in this life.

"Ueda-kun, I suggest that the 24th and 25th Divisions of the Kwantung Army be transferred to Panjin to be prepared. The Kwantung Army needed to observe the military movements of the Northland Volunteers before deciding whether to continue to adjust the military arrangement.

However, I conclude that Feng Tian will definitely go south from no man's land.

In this way, the other three first-class divisions can move closer to Panjin as much as possible, forming two wings on the east and west, and defending Panjin.

It is still unclear whether Feng Tian has the courage to retaliate against the Imperial Army as he said, even if he is telling the truth, it is still unknown how many troops Feng Tian intends to send to attack, and in a short period of time, the two divisions of the Empire are enough to resist the Northern Volunteers. Chief of Staff Hideki Tojo pondered it and made his own proposal to the commander, Admiral Ueda Kaneyoshi.

The commander, General Ueda Kaneyoshi, felt that the chief of staff's plan was quite pertinent, and nodded in agreement: "Yanxi, just follow the chief of staff's plan, I hope Feng Tian has the courage, don't just release empty artillery at that time, and let the Kwantung Army work in vain." ā€

Yes, the Kwantung Army was still worried that Fengtian would not dare to carry out retaliatory actions, and was waiting for the Northland Volunteers to attack the Kwantung Army.

Interestingly, one shouted that he would carry out military revenge and attack the Kwantung Army.

And the other side is in an urgent mood and expects the other party to fight.

These two parties are really right, and the rest depends on Feng Tian's guts. (To be continued.) )
