Chapter 306: Minamijiro is no longer playing
Since the departure of the Kwantung Army Air Force Air Force Flying Brigade stationed in Panjin, the Kwantung Army Command has been waiting for the results of the air battle. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
However, after the flight team set out, they never sent any news back.
In the Kwantung Army Headquarters, the commander, Senior General Minamijiro, the chief of the General Staff, Lieutenant General Nishio Toshizo, and the deputy chief of the General Staff, Major General Saka Tsuneshishiro, were all a little irritable, but they couldn't wait for a telegram.
Nima, I'm dying.
Major General Seisishiro Ban, who was pacing back and forth in the room, suddenly stopped to look at the time and said, "No, the endurance of the fighter has passed now, and the plane has run out of aviation fuel, why is there no news yet?" ”
Rear Admiral Saka Tsuneshiro's words woke up Admiral Minamijiro, yes, the ship can float on the sea without fuel, and the plane can still float in the air without aviation fuel?
The time has not yet returned, and it is impossible for the plane to stay in the sky.
A sense of foreboding welled up in the heart of the commander, Admiral Minamijiro, that the flying team was more than lucky.
"Immediately contact the 11th Independent Mixed Brigade of the vanguard force, ask them if they have seen the air battle, and report the situation." General Minamijiro remembered the position of the air battle, probably not too far from the 11th Independent Mixed Brigade, and it was possible to see the battle situation in the air.
An operational staff officer immediately replied, "Hey, I'll contact you immediately." ”
This method is good, Lieutenant General Nishio Shouzo and Major General Saka Tsuneshi Shiro have also reacted, the vanguard has penetrated deep into the depths, and it should be possible to observe the air battle, maybe the air battle will take place above their heads.
Chief of the General Staff of the Kwantung Army, Nishio Shouzo, said: "It stands to reason that it shouldn't be, there are thirty fighters in the flying team stationed in Panjin, can Feng Tian eat this one flying team in one bite?" Think about it from another perspective, if the other side dispatches thirty fighters, will the Kwantung Army be able to eat them in one bite? I've seen enough. If the flying team jade shattered this time, it was enough to show that Feng Tian's strength was very terrifying. And, just like in army combat, this guy is specifically willing to create a regimental annihilation. ”
Major General Ban Heng Seishiro followed and said: "Yes, the Rehe War Zone destroyed a brigade of our empire, but fortunately, the army was stopped in time, otherwise, the next division would have been eaten by Fengtian." The loss of a brigade is already the bottom line of the military department, and if it loses a division, the Kwantung Army may not be able to afford it. ”
The words of the two chiefs of staff of the Kwantung Army made the commander General Minamijiro shudder in his heart.
Nima, Lao Tzu doesn't want to follow the old path of the previous commander.
This Fengtian is too fierce, it's really difficult.
No, you must restrain your desires, and you would rather be useless than lose your troops again.
General Minamijiro secretly made a decision in his heart, looked at the two colleagues, and said with a heavy heart: "According to the calculation of time, I am afraid that the flying team is already more than lucky. You say, what tactics this guy Feng Tian has adopted to take a flying team is unbelievable. Fighter planes fly fast, there should always be one or two fighters fleeing the scene, right? ”
Regarding the question of the commander, Senior General Minamijiro, neither Lieutenant General Nishio Toshizo nor Major General Seishiro Saka Hengshiro could answer.
The two looked at each other for a moment, and both shook their heads to indicate that they didn't know.
The question seemed to be a mystery, and the three people in the room fell silent.
After a long while, Major General Saka Heng Seishiro raised his head and said: "Imagine that if Fengtian dispatches super-sized fighters, even several times the number of flying teams, the captain of the flying team is an experienced pilot, he will not be stupid enough to fight a decisive battle with an enemy who is several times stronger than his own, and will inevitably cover some of the fighters to flee the battlefield."
Therefore, it is almost impossible to imagine what kind of method this Fengtian will take to annihilate the planes of an entire flying squadron of our Kwantung Army. If this is the truth, this seal is worthy of its name, and it is terrible. ”
Not only Major General Saka Tsunei Seisishiro thinks so, but Senior General Minamijiro and Lieutenant General Nishio Toshizo are also thinking about this question, what kind of tactics does Fengtian adopt, and a flying squadron of the empire will be wiped out in a war?
"Could it be that Feng Tian has some new weapon in his hand that will shoot down the entire flying team in an instant.
However, this is a bit strange, as I have never heard of such a powerful weapon.
If so, who else in this world is the opponent of Fengtian?
Besides, with such a powerful weapon, would he still stay in that desolate place honestly? This is clearly incomprehensible. "Lieutenant General Nishio Shouzo, Chief of the General Staff, suddenly had a big brain, and he actually imagined that Feng Tian had a big killing weapon in his hand.
"Nishio-kun, don't think nonsense, how can there be such a thing. Recalling the combat methods of Fengtian, that time it was not relying on weapons to achieve victory, almost all of them were engaged in intrigues and tricks, which made the imperial army unable to guard against it. It is estimated that this time will not be an exception, the Kwantung Army was fooled. "Senior General Minamijiro is quite sober and denies Lieutenant General Nishio Shouzo's blind speculation.
At this moment, the operational staff officer came in and reported: "Report to the commander, a telegram has been sent from Panjin Airport informing you that the 11th Independent Mixed Brigade has called to request air support, saying that the Northland Air Force is bombing the 11th Independent Mixed Brigade. However, there are no more fighters at the airfield to cover the ground forces. Until now, after the flying team took off, it has not come back until now, and according to the calculation of time, the flying team is more than lucky. ”
Senior General Minamijiro in the room, as well as Lieutenant General Nishio Shouzo and Major General Saka Tsuneshiro Tsuneshiro, the three of them gasped at the same time.
Nima, the Flying Team is really finished.
Moreover, the ground forces began to suffer from bombardment, which added fuel to the fire of Nima.
General Minamijiro looked at the time and was already completely desperate.
Without the support of the air force, the ground troops can only be beaten, and now they are in a disadvantageous position in the flight range and have limited ability to support operations by mobilizing planes from other airfields.
At this time, if the plane of the flying team is still in the sky at this time, it has really become an artifact, and it is estimated that it is finished.
"Immediately send a telegram ordering the 11th Independent Mixed Brigade to retreat, join up with the other armies, and station on the Xinmin line, not to cross the north of Xinmin. All armies are to be stationed in a centralized manner and not to be dispersed. Ordered Keeling Airfield to be on alert at all times to support ground forces. "General Minamijiro is really scared, and he is worried that Fengtian will also eat the ground troops of the Kwantung Army.
In the past, General Minamijiro may not have been convinced, but this time he really learned how to use troops in the sky, which is really unpredictable.
"Hey, the army is retreating, and it is stationed south of Xinmin, and all the troops should be stationed in a centralized manner." The operational staff officer took the order and issued the latest operational order of the command.
Major General Seishiro Saka said curtly: "The commander's order is very timely, and it is necessary to make a decision at this time, otherwise, it is difficult to predict what will happen." In this military operation, it was originally intended to use the King of Germany to raise the flag, and the imperial army sought an opportunity to defeat Fengtian. Now it seems that this king is just a mud that can't support the wall, and it doesn't work at all. At least until now, the strength of the Northland Volunteers, which has not been pinned down, still poses a threat to the Imperial army. ”
In fact, in this military operation, Major General Seishiro Banheng bears the greatest responsibility.
This guy is ambitious, bent on taking revenge on Feng Tian, and at the same time, wants to take this opportunity to achieve military exploits.
Hmph, who knew that stealing chickens would not lead to rice, and it would cost a brigade and a flying team.
Chief of Staff Nishio Shouzo also said: "At present, I am afraid that this German king has not done anything, and there has been no movement so far, neither containing the strength of the Northern Volunteers, nor attacking the rear of the Northern Volunteers, and it is estimated that the outcome will not be too good." This battle plan was originally to use King De to make some mess and create an opportunity for the Kwantung Army, but since there was no opportunity to take advantage of it, the battle plan lost its value. At least at this stage, there is no need for the Kwantung Army to pin its hopes on King De. ”
Obviously, the views of the three leaders of the Kwantung Army are the same, and there is no need to go on this game of chess.
The Kwantung Army's strong advocacy of this attack on the Northland Volunteers stemmed from the Kwantung Army's dissatisfaction with the Northland Volunteers, and its purpose was nothing more than to take revenge on the Northland Volunteers and avenge the Kwantung Army.
Now after a few fights, I found that this Fengtian is really difficult to deal with.
If this game of chess can be played, it will naturally continue, and if it can't be played, I'm afraid you have to think about the consequences.
After all, the examples of the exes are all out there, and the end doesn't seem good.
These people are all smart people, and of course they don't want to follow in the footsteps of their predecessors and commit suicide at the end.
As for the expectations of the Japanese cabinet, the leaders of the Kwantung Army have long forgotten about them.
It doesn't matter if you don't have oil, you can buy it for money, why bother dying many people in exchange for oil.
The Kwantung Army was only in charge of fighting wars, and had no concept of money, which belonged to the category of cabinet considerations.
"Forget it, let's not talk about that. Report the situation of the Kwantung Army to the military department and give them a headache. ”
The commander, General Minamijiro, finally gave up, and the sealing of the heavens in the north was not something he could deal with.
To tell the truth, the current position of the Kwantung Army is not small, but in fact, the war has not yet been fully launched, and it is all a small fight and a small-scale war. However, it was this kind of small-scale engagement, and it was difficult for the Kwantung Army to accept the loss of troops, so would it be worth it if it continued to develop?
The commander, General Minamijiro, had to wake himself up, the idea at the beginning was a bit too simple, and when it came time to fight Feng Tian, he found himself passive everywhere, and he didn't know how to deal with it.
The losses before this are still within the acceptable range, and if they continue, can there be a guarantee that there will be no greater losses?
It's still too late to stop, the commander of the Kwantung Army, General Minamijiro, thought in his heart.
The Kwantung Army reported the situation to the Army General Staff Headquarters, and the Kwantung Army would not take military action until it received an order from the Army General Staff Headquarters, and as for what decision the Army General Staff Headquarters would make, it had nothing to do with the Kwantung Army.
