Chapter 388: Terrible Opponent
The Northland Volunteers carried out a major counteroffensive, and it took only one day to recover the entire northeast and include the peninsula and the coastal area. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Counterattack, give me a counterattack immediately, completely destroy the Northland Volunteers, and recover the occupied areas of the Empire. Fengtian, I am inseparable from you! "The Emperor of the Japanese Dynasty screamed angrily and hysterically, unwilling to accept the lost land.
The Emperor of the Japanese Dynasty clamored for a counterattack, but there were not many troops to provide in the country, and if it took time to recruit and form an army now, it would not be possible to do a counterattack.
"No, Your Majesty, the Empire can't go to war with Fengtian." The Minister of War, Hayashi Mijuro, couldn't care about anything and hurriedly objected.
Just kidding, starting a war with Fengtian, don't you want the Imperial Far East Army?
That's nearly 300,000 troops, and it's the essence of the Imperial army.
The emperor glared at the Minister of War Hayashi with triangular eyes and looked fiercely at the Minister of War.
This is not to complain that the Emperor of Japan is reluctant, but this guy can't accept this reality.
How many years of time it took for the Japanese to take over Northeast Asia, and how much financial and material resources they have invested, step by step to seize Northeast Asia, now all of them have come to naught in one day, and no one will be willing to change them.
Prince Zaihito, head of the Army General Staff, said cautiously: "Your Majesty, the country cannot withdraw troops for the time being, and the empire will not be able to organize an army to carry out a counteroffensive for at least half a year.
The important thing is that once the war with Fengtian starts, the 300,000 troops of the Imperial Far East Army will be in danger. If Fengtian cut off the back road of the Imperial Far Eastern Army and attacked the Imperial Far Eastern Army back and forth with the Lucys, there is no doubt that the nearly 300,000 elites of the empire will be completely finished. ”
"Bageya Road, there is no army in the country, so the army will be drawn from the north of the river, and it must be counterattacked." The emperor still did not give up, and even some hysteria. "Uh...... The Imperial Far East Army is indeed not good, wow, eight grid tooth road! ”
"Your Majesty, Yan Xishan fought jointly with the Eighteenth Group Army, and now the north of the river has also been lost, and it is even more impossible to send troops." At this time, Prince Zairen of Xianyuan Palace could only answer honestly, and did not dare to hide anything.
"Uh......" The emperor seemed to be choked by something, and he didn't make a sound for a long time.
How could this Nima's, the Great Riwa Empire have no army?
I am frugal to expand the army, the empire has a million troops, and now in the face of a small Northland volunteers, the empire is helpless, it is a big joke.
"If there is no army in the north of the river, then the army will be drawn from the East China battlefield, or the army will be drawn from the Far East, in short, the imperial army must fight back and defeat Fengtian." The emperor still doesn't give up, and he feels distressed.
"Your Majesty, the war in East China is still going on, besides, there is a river north in the middle, and I don't know how much time it will take until the imperial army fights. Moreover, the imperial army had a long way to attack to the north, and it was difficult to supply, and the imperial army could not support it to the northeast.
In addition, the Far East did not dare to draw troops, once the military strength of the Far East was weakened, it would be crushed by Lucy's army, and at that time, there would probably not be one of the ten divisions and 30,000 troops left.
Moreover, the most important thing now is how to prevent Feng Tian from sending troops to attack the Imperial Far East Army, once Feng Tian takes action, the situation is very dangerous. "The situation is very serious, and Prince Zaihito of the Kanin Palace knows very well in his heart, and it must be explained clearly at this time, and it cannot be done by the emperor's temperament.
This doesn't work, that doesn't work, isn't there anything you can do?
The emperor had a headache and a pain in his eyes.
Since ascending to the throne, the emperor has never been so irritable.
Because of his anger, the muscles on the emperor's face were a little distorted, and he looked very hideous.
"You must protect the Imperial Far East Army for me, no matter what method you take." This time, the emperor did seem to be a little unbearable, and he had to vent it thoroughly: "It only took one day for Fengtian to capture all the imperial forces and control the northeast and the peninsula.
But the powerful imperial army is plotting and operating little by little, and it has taken decades to gain the Northeast region and the peninsula region, why is there such a contrast?
Compared to the time of decades and one day, it doesn't make sense in any way, is the imperial army so wasteful?
It makes sense. Can anyone tell me why? ”
In the face of the emperor's inquiry, no one present could answer, God knows what method Feng Tian will use, and he will succeed in counterattacking at one time in such a short period of time.
The Imperial Kwantung Army is not a wooden man, so the two sides will always have to fight for a while, right?
Not to mention that the empire has five divisions and regiments, blocking the path of the Northland Volunteers, including three first-class divisions, which are very strong in combat.
With the same number of troops, it is impossible to say that the Northland Volunteer Army is stronger than the Japanese and other divisions and regiments, and the Japanese side will never admit it.
But the fact in front of us is that all five divisions of the empire are shattered, and not even a single telegram has been sent back.
In other words, they are dying out so quickly that they don't have time to report it.
Well, five divisions of the Reich were wiped out.
So, from Zhangwu to the southernmost part of the peninsula, the distance is more than 1,000 kilometers, and the Northland Volunteers can't run to the southernmost point in one day just by running, how can this be explained?
This is not to blame the emperor for not believing it, even these people present do not believe it, and no one will grow a pair of scuds.
However, it doesn't matter if you don't believe it, in fact the Northland Volunteers have already occupied the entire peninsula.
"Your Majesty, after the capture of Mukden, the Northland Volunteers will also seize control of the railway, and they will take the train south, and the speed must be very fast, at least on the same day, they can reach Rengang on the same day. As for reaching the southernmost point, it's hard to say. ”
The emperor patted his head and suddenly realized, and said, "It must be like this. Bageya Road, the empire spent a lot of money to rebuild the railway network, but cheapened the Northland Volunteers, is this money too unjust?
Look at how poor the empire is now, I have to cut back on food and clothing, eat only two meals a day, and my people eat one meal a day, this kind of hard life is obvious to all.
Bageya Road, you are all rice buckets, the money that plagues the empire, the army that plagues the empire, and you have lost so much territory, how can you explain? ”
In the face of the emperor's anger, no one dared to come forward, and everyone lowered their heads and remained silent, allowing the emperor to vent hysterically.
The situation is indeed very serious, not to mention whether or not those territories can be recovered, the most important thing in front of us is the Imperial Far East Army.
Feng Tian can eat five divisions of the Kwantung Army in one bite, then, the Imperial Far East Army, which has only ten divisions, is at war with Lucy's army, and Feng Tian can easily eat this army.
Yes, this is exactly the sinister intention of Feng Tian.
Feng Tian was not worried about the counterattack of the Japanese army at all, he had already calculated that the Japanese Far Eastern Army was the card in his hand, and he could pinch the balls of the Japanese people at any time. If you have the ability, you will come, and Lao Tzu will first eat the strength of the ten divisions of your Japanese Far Eastern Army.
Fengtian did not counterattack early or late, and specially chose this time period to carry out a major counteroffensive, which was to accurately calculate the entire strength layout of the Japanese army, and they had no available troops in their hands.
In addition to the fact that the forces of the Japanese Far East Army could not be moved at all, the East China Battlefield probably could not draw troops.
Even if you can draw out some of your troops, if you attack north by land, and there is the Eighteenth Army in front of you, it is a fool's dream to attack the territory of the Northland Volunteers at such a long distance.
To put it mildly, at this point, the Japanese army could not even enter Hebei.
Feng Tian had the ability, financial resources, and material resources to support the 18th Army and Yan Xishan's army to block the Japanese army head-on, so that they could stop on the Yellow River line.
What's more, Feng Tian held the card of the Japanese Far Eastern Army in his hand, and it was expected that the Japanese people would not dare to act rashly.
The bad news is not only that, but at this time, the news was received that the two-carrier group had bombed the ports along the peninsula, and attacked the fleeing Imperial warships, causing the loss of these Imperial warships.
Nani, didn't you say it was a German warship?
Why German warships attacked the seaports of the Reich is a very serious matter.
Of course, now everything is clear, the aircraft carrier Longxiang must have been sunk by this two-carrier fleet.
Germany was secretly negotiating with the Japanese and forming an alliance between the two sides, and with such friendly relations, Germany had no reason to attack the Japanese naval vessels.
Could it be that on the surface, Germany negotiated an alliance with the Japanese, but in private, it fought fiercely with the Northland Volunteers, and even had an alliance relationship to jointly deal with the Great Japanese Empire?
Some things still could not be explained, and the Minister of the Navy, Mitsumasa Neme, who had detailed information, told the Emperor: "According to the reports of some warships of the Imperial Navy, this aircraft carrier group, since it was close to the coast of China, has taken off the German flag and has not flown it since. At present, this fleet has been stationed on the peninsula. ”
"Nani, in this way, this fleet was given by the Germans to the Northland Volunteers, and the German ambassador must be summoned immediately, and this matter must be made clear to them, otherwise, it is impossible for the two countries to establish an alliance." The Emperor took it for granted that this fleet must have been given to Fengtian by Germany, otherwise how could the German flag be hoisted.
It was getting late, and the German ambassador to Japan, Sim, was already resting, but he was finally summoned.
"Mr. Sim, there is one thing that needs to be clarified, why did Germany give the Northland Volunteers a double aircraft carrier formation, and also attacked the aircraft carriers of the Reich, causing huge losses to the Reich Navy? The Reich needs an explanation, please give a reason for the attack on the Reich's warships. "The emperor was angry and spoke in a bad tone.
Sim shook his head, a little hated that iron could not be made of steel, and the emperor was a little stupid, and said some nonsense: "No, no, there must be a misunderstanding in this." Excuse me, did this two-aircraft carrier squadron fly the German flag when it attacked the Longchamp?
According to domestic sources, this aircraft carrier squadron sailed this time only to escort merchant ships, and there were a large number of German transport ships in the merchant fleet, and there was nothing wrong with flying the German flag.
As for the ownership of the twin aircraft carrier formations, as far as I know, no country has purchased them so far, and they have always belonged to a European company called Scrap Firewood.
Besides, Germany does not yet have aircraft carriers, and it does not have the money to buy such a sky-high price of twin aircraft carrier formations. Even if you have the money to buy aircraft carriers, how can you send them out, is Germany so stupid? ”
Hearing this, both the emperor and other ministers had a toothache.
This Nima's is unreasonable, who would be stupid to send a double aircraft carrier formation worth 500 million US dollars out?
At least Germany will not send it out, because even Germany itself does not have an aircraft carrier, and it doesn't make sense to say that Germany sent an aircraft carrier to Fengtian.
The emperor's triangular eyes flashed with fierce light, and he didn't want to finish it, and said: "Nani, since it is not an aircraft carrier sent by Germany, why it has been flying the German flag, this must be explained." ”
Sim continued to shake his head, scolding the fool in his heart, and said: "This is not strange, I have already said that this fleet is set off from Europe to escort a German merchant fleet, and it is normal to fly the German flag. At the beginning, it was said that in the course of the long-distance voyage of the two-aircraft carrier formation, if there was an accident, it would have to take off the flag when it was at war with other countries during the voyage. I think this aircraft carrier group will keep its promises. ”
Sim's reasoning made the emperor and the other ministers speechless for a while.
As soon as this aircraft carrier formation entered the East China Sea, the flag was taken down, and the agreement between the two sides was indeed observed.
The Minister of the Navy, Mitsumasa Nemi, was concerned about the ownership of this aircraft carrier, although he already knew that it must be owned by the Northland Volunteers, and asked Sim: "So, this aircraft carrier formation belongs to the Northland Volunteers, right?" ”
Sim didn't get into the trap and replied, "It's not clear, it's said that a scrap company bought two American aircraft carriers and was looking for new buyers in Europe."
However, their bid was too high, and the price of each aircraft carrier was more than 200 million US dollars, and even Britain and France, which wanted to buy aircraft carriers, rejected.
Although Germany also wanted to have this two-aircraft carrier group, Germany did not have that much money, and finally had to give up the intention of buying it. As for the final buyer, I haven't heard of it yet. ”
Yes, it was in vain to ask, and the German ambassador Sim explained it very clearly, but it was of no value to the Japanese side.
It seems that this matter could not be relied on by the Germans, the main thing being that the fleet did not belong to Germany.
This two-aircraft carrier group left Germany to participate in the convoy in the open sea, and it was no longer under the control of Germany, and even if the Japanese wanted to rely on the Germans, it would be impossible for the other side to admit it.
The only thing that is certain is that this two-carrier formation must have been purchased by the Northland Volunteers, otherwise, there is no way to explain that they would attack the Japanese naval ships.
In this way, Fengtian not only has a strong army and air force, but also a very strong military force at sea.
Headache, headache!
Whether it was the Emperor of Japan, the cabinet ministers, or the War Department, almost all of them were very distressed, and they were somewhat frightened in the face of such an opponent.
Even the Emperor of Japan felt a sense of fear rise in his heart.
