Section 8 Heavenly Fire III

But Nakajima didn't care, whether these eyes contained disdain, contempt or resentment, he didn't care, when he rushed out of the mountains of the Great Wall, he didn't care about many tools. /。 \\

When God is pushed and the precepts are broken, the God who has been erected again is no longer God, and the re-established precepts are devoid of that divine brilliance.

"Nakajima-kun, after the meeting, General Umezu will hold an operational meeting to agree on the Manchurian battle strategy, and we will join later." Takeo Imai said to Yasuken Nakajima, who stepped forward.

According to Nakajima's position, he does not need to join this kind of meeting, and he is not qualified to join, and Takeo Imai's move is obviously to obtain Nishio Shouzo's consent, and it also shows that the two of them value Nakajima Yasuken.

Yasuken Nakajima replied simply yes and was about to turn around and leave, but Takeo Imai was a little surprised by his attitude and stopped him again: "What's wrong?" Nakajima-kun, don't you have any ideas? ”

Nakajima replied with a faceless face: "Can Manchuria still fight?" Does the Kwantung Army still have the ability to fight with General Shina? ”

In the face of Nakajima's straightforwardness, Nishio Shouzo and Imai Takeo could only remain silent. 450,000 elites were annihilated, can 300,000 third- and fourth-rate troops cover the army of millions of tigers and wolves? The advisers of the military department shouted that the Kwantung Army was invincible in the world, but they did not know that the essence of the current Kwantung Army was long gone, except for the shell, and had disappeared in northern Burma, northern Hubei, Shandong, and northern China.

War is a huge meat grinder, which turns young lives to dust.

The battle situation is a difficult problem to solve, a problem that the two new leaders of the Japanese army, Nishio Shouzo and Umezu Mijiro, cannot avoid and cannot bypass.

The martial arts are still strong and powerful for a long time, and the sun flag is radiating brilliance: but after the illusory glory, it faces endless darkness.

"Nakajima-kun, don't be too discouraged, the people of China don't have a navy, even if they hit Busan, they can only look at the ocean and sigh." Takeo Imai also cheered up Nakajima Yasuken: "As long as we defeat the Americans, the weakness of the Americans is that they dare not bear huge casualties, and we still have hope." Nakajima Yasuken smiled bitterly in his heart and didn't answer, but Nishio Shouzo became serious: "Nakajima-kun, this is not possible, now is the time to show your clever talents and save the empire, I will transfer back from Manchuria, but I don't want to see the current state, the people of China, victory and defeat are common in soldiers, I hope to cheer up my confidence, Japan needs it now, understand!" Nakajima's heart sank, and he realized that his state was indeed abnormal, and hurriedly concentrated and replied loudly: "I understand, thank you for the reminder!" ”

Nishio Shouzo stared at him closely, Nakajima raised his chest and raised his head, Nishio Shouzo nodded with satisfaction: "Go back and prepare, and we will join Umezu-kun's combat meeting later."

This operational meeting was the first joint meeting of the military adviser headquarters convened by the new adviser general Umezu Mijiro after the establishment of the new cabinet, and the topic of this meeting was obviously the dangerous situation facing the Chinese theater of operations, especially Manchuria.

Naosaburo Okabe on the front line of the Shanhaiguan called Tokyo every day, asking him about the military strength he wanted, the materials he wanted, and when he would arrive. Okabe Naosaburo's tone in the telegram grew stronger and stronger, and at times it was simply a threat from Chiluoluo.

But Umezu Mijiro has nothing to say, as the former commander of the Kwantung Army, he understands very well the great difficulties that the Kwantung Army is facing now, in addition to the military strength, most of the materials of the Kwantung Army are sent to North China, and Okabe Naosaburo is now suffering the consequences of his decision.

With the advent of spring, Okabe has to bear more pressure than him, outside the Shanhai Pass, millions of Chinese troops are pressing the border, the Sumen G coalition army in the north of the desert is falling into the ground, and the Soviet Russian army north of the Great Khing'an Mountains is stupid, it can be like this, Okabe Naosaburo's situation is ten times more difficult than him.

After Umezu Mijiro announced the opening of the meeting, Takushiro Hattori, head of the Operations Division of the Advisory Headquarters, stood in front of the map and announced the current military situation in Manchuria.

According to intelligence, the North China China Army is moving to eastern Hebei on a large scale, and at present, the eastern Hebei region and the Rehe region have gathered a total of about 1.5 million Chinese troops, and there are about 200,000 troops in the Pingjin area, which can be reinforced at any time.

Recently, Soviet Russia is stepping up efforts to make up for the Soviet Russian Far Eastern Army north of the Great Khing'an Mountains, and the advisory headquarters has judged that the Soviet Russian Far Eastern Front will launch an offensive in early May, after the ice and snow melt, and at present the Imperial Army has only two divisions and regiments in the Outer Khing'an Mountains, and the rest has 520,000 Manchurian Defense Forces.

According to the operational practice of the Chinese Army, after the end of an operation, it must rest for three to four months, and the adviser headquarters judged that the offensive of the Chinese Army may be instigated in July, and its main force may be divided into two routes, one along the Huludao Island in Suizhong in Shanhaiguan to attack Jinzhou, and the other road to the south from the east of Rehe, to Xiangyang and Wenxian, to attack Jinzhou.

According to the Outline of the Decisive Battle of the Empire, the number of troops to defend the homeland should reach 2 million, and the domestic army should have 700,000, of which 300,000 were being trained, and it was a very arduous task to train a new army of one million in the next year.

In order to solve the dilemma of insufficient military strength of the Kwantung Army, the Advisory Headquarters decided to recruit soldiers in Manchuria, which had about 700,000 pioneer regiments and about one million Korean immigrants, of which about 30 to 400,000 could be conscripted, so that the total strength of the Kwantung Army could reach 60 to 700,000, which was barely enough.

In terms of topography, the terrain of Shanhaiguan and its vicinity was favorable to the Imperial Army, and the Advisory Headquarters requested the Kwantung Army to set up three defensive positions in front of Shanhaiguan, and in the north, to use the mountainous area here to also set up three defensive positions to block the attack of the Chinese army. ””

Looking at Hattori Takushiro's self-righteous face, Nakajima Yasuken was a little sick to his stomach, if the rice balls he ate in the morning hadn't been digested, he might have vomited. Hattori's battle plan further confirmed his previous judgment of these advisers at the advisor headquarters, a group of guys who sat in the well and watched the sky, the whole plan was full of flaws, and it sounded like a waste of time.

"Your Excellency, where did the weapons and equipment of these three or four hundred thousand soldiers in the township come from?" Yasuken Nakajima rudely interrupted Hattori's speech, a rarity in a meeting at the advisors' headquarters, and everyone including Umezu Mijiro and Nishio Toshizo turned their heads to look at him in surprise.

Hattori Takushiro was extremely annoyed, he raised his eyes and looked coldly: "Nakajima-kun, the soldiers in the township already have weapons, and according to the development synergy combination method, each development regiment has weapons and equipment. "The commander-in-chief knew the Manchurian and Kwantung armies best. I don't think you consulted the chief executive before making your plan. Nakajima was polite and gave Hattori a step.

In fact, Umezu Mijiro has already frowned, if Hattori Takushiro still has some truth in the initial explanation, there is no score about the soldiers in the township. Yes, according to the records of the military department, there were about 700,000 Manchurian pioneer regiments, but these 700,000 people had been conscripted one after another after instigating the war against the Soviet Union, and the rest were either old, weak, sick or disabled, and the weapons and equipment were even worse.

“!” Hattori Takushiro was so angry that he almost blurted out, but he could see Umezu Mijiro's expression, and he couldn't help but close his mouth, leaving only an indignant and unconvinced look.

"Also, I think that the Shina army will come in two ways" Nakajima Yasuken looked cold, with a hint of mockery, and then walked straight to him without waiting for Hattori, picked up another wooden stick, and tapped it on the map: "General Shina's troops have always attacked the weak with real and concentrated their military forces on the Shanhaiguan and Rehe lines, so he will definitely not go this way, why fight with one mountain and one mountain." If you want to change me, I won't go this way.

Heilongjiang and Jilin are empty, so I will go to Jilin, Heilongjiang, and the 49th Group Army is the first-class main force of the Zhizhi, which is now placed in the north of the Rehe River, and it seems that it is preparing to go south from the Xiangyang line and outflank the imperial army of Shanhaiguan, but what if he does not go south but goes east? Passing through the grassland, crossing the Great Khing'an Mountains, going straight to Xinjing and even Harbin, and then going south along the railway, dare to ask Your Excellency, what should be done? Nakajima's words shocked the audience, with the undefeated 49th Group Army as the main force to cross, and then over the Great Khing'an Mountains, unexpectedly presented in the Songliao Plain, leaving aside the entire Japanese heavy army group, like a steel knife inserted into the heart of Manchuria, attacking the Kwantung Army from behind, this strategy is exquisite and grand.

If two minutes ago, Hattori was still a little satisfied, but now his face was pale and cold sweat, he didn't think of this hand at all, and he didn't need to elaborate more, this hand was established.

After a long time, Shibayama, the head of the second section of the advisory headquarters, was lucky enough to ask, "Will General Koshina be like this?" This road is not easy to walk, and the Great Khing'an Mountains are densely forested............ Door"

"Why not?" Yasuken Nakajima immediately asked sharply: "General Shina has fought in northern Burma, has studied forest warfare very well, and there are three expeditionary forces under his command that have been transferred back from Burma, and they are fully capable of crossing the Great Khingan Mountains. We have been underestimating the opponent and underestimating the generals of China, so we have the defeat of Nanjing, the defeat of northern Burma, and the defeat of northern Hubei.

In the Battle of North China, the New First Army and the New Sixth Army of the 49th Group Army crossed the Taihang Mountain, cut off the Beijing-Zhang Line, and expanded the battlefield space indefinitely, which eventually led to the complete defeat of the Imperial Army in the Battle of North China. There are too many tools that need to be summarized in the Battle of North China.

Nakajima Yasuken sighed, and the advisers of the advisory headquarters lowered their heads one after another, at the beginning, Ishihara Wan'er asked North China to send troops to retreat, join up with the Kwantung Army, and stick to the line of the Great Wall and Shanhaiguan, which was collectively vetoed by these consultants, but now it seems that this is the best idea.

Umezu Mijiro also sighed softly, although he didn't approve of it in his mouth, but in his heart, he regretted his original decision. Nishio Shouzo also shook his head in his heart, he was not satisfied at all, but even more worried.

"Nakajima-kun, any ideas?" Yasuken Nakajima bowed slightly to Nishio Shouzo and Umezu Mijiro, and replied calmly: "From the current point of view, the possibility of the empire holding Manchuria is very low, and I think that the imperial army can fight in the terrain, but once the Chinese army is presented in the Songliao Plain, the imperial army should quickly move south and retreat to Korea."

In the northern part of Korea, the mountains are undulating, and it is good to defend the bad luck, and more importantly, the imperial army can build a dense front here, and the 300,000 troops are barely enough. ,…

As soon as Nakajima Yasuken opened his mouth, he wanted to abandon Manchuria, which made the advisers of the advisory headquarters a little unacceptable, but they couldn't come up with a better battle plan, so they could only glare at Nakajima Yasyan, and the atmosphere in the room began to open up a little.

Leaving Manchuria behind, it was emotionally difficult for the Japanese soldiers to accept that Manchuria was once regarded by the Japanese soldiers as a lifeline, as a symbol of the Japanese soldiers' expansion of territory, and as a continuation of the victorious effect of decades of mainland policy. Most of the Japanese officers present here are in Manchuria, serving in the Kwantung Army, and this is especially true of Umezu Mijiro, who served in Manchuria for nearly ten years, and the Kwantung Army used to be Japan's largest strategic group in his hands, and drove the Anti-Japanese Union to the territory of Soviet Russia and won the victory against the Soviet Union.

"Nakajima-kun, do you need to make such a big retreat?" Umezu Mijiro asked with a frown.

"If you want to hold Manchuria, you will never be able to do it" Nakajima Yasujian looked very resolute: "The military strength is insufficient, the materials are insufficient, the imperial army is at a huge disadvantage in all aspects, and reluctantly fighting will only lead to defeat." ”

"In the past, we only needed more than 10,000 people to occupy Manchuria." Muto Akira's tone wandered, his eyes scattered, and he didn't know whether he was sighing or questioning.

"The past is the past, and the present is the present" Nakajima is still so calm, it seems that it is just a simple fact: "Seven years ago, 200,000 North China troops could sweep through North China and fight from Pingjin to Shanxi, but now? The Shina Army is not the Shina Army of seven years ago. ”

As if he had come to a conclusion, Nakajima saluted the two generals after he finished his health, and was about to turn around, but Nishio Shouzo spoke at this time: "Nakajima-kun, I have a question, which has not been answered, the imperial army only has more than 200,000 troops in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and only half of the North China dispatch army, why did the Chinese army not attack Jiangsu and Zhejiang?" ”

Nakajima Yasuken was silent: "I can only expect that the mechanized strength of the China Army has become stronger now, Jiangnan is a water area, and it is bad luck for tank combat, and the terrain in North China is flat, which is conducive to tank operations, in the Battle of North China, the China Army invested about 2,000 tanks, and these tanks played a huge role in the Battle of North China, in addition, I must tell you that human bombs must not destroy the China tank, and the most advantageous weapon for the China tank is the 88 anti-aircraft gun, and the empire had better immediately produce it in large quantities."

We have captured a few bazookas, which the Reich should copy at once, and this weapon is very powerful against tanks. "Anti-tank weapons, whether it is Umezu Mijiro or Nishio Toshizo, are a belly of fire for the Ministry of War and the advisory headquarters, they have asked for countless times on the front line, but Tokyo is indifferent, and the front-line generals can only let the soldiers act as human bombs to blow up Chinese tanks at a huge price
