Tsuji Masa's confidence in the combat power of the army has a ranking, Japan first, Manchuria second, the Soviet army third, India fourth, and the United States fifth. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

He is in the Army, therefore, his ranking is very general, basically based on the combat power of the Army. No. 1 in Japan refers to the No. 1 in the Japanese Army. Manchuria, yes, is the Manchurian Army, which the Chinese call the puppet army. Why second? In his opinion, the Japanese Army came first, and the army that the Japanese reorganized and trained was naturally second.

He didn't look down on the Soviet army at all. Why don't you look down on the Soviet army? Because of the Russo-Japanese War, Japan won.

Why is India fourth? The Indians followed the British in their conquests. The Japanese believed that the British were stronger in military strength than the Indians. The ranking of the fifth place in the United States is strange, because in the time of Masanobu Tsuji, he should have seen a lot of materials about the First World War, and I don't know why a large number of European armies did not make his ranking.

It needs to be said that at that time, not only Masanobu Tsuji looked down on the Russian army, but the entire Japanese army looked down on the Russian army. In addition to the factors of the previous Russo-Japanese War, there is another factor, which is the Soviet Union's purge, which is also known as the Great Purge. So many marshals and generals have been killed, isn't the Russian army even less combative.

Based on these two reasons, the Japanese army believed that the Japanese 1st Division could fight 3 divisions of the Soviet Army. This is not the fantasy of some arrogant Masanobu Tsuji and his ilk, but the opinion of the vast majority of Japanese soldiers.

After the war, the Japanese army's psychological organization surveyed and came to the following conclusion: "Almost all Japanese soldiers who participated in the war were eager to fight the Soviet army, and more than 90% of the officers knew nothing about the situation of the Soviet army, but they despised their opponents for no reason." ”

The staff officers of the Japanese General Staff Headquarters had great power and had a great influence on the opposing army. This point cannot but be said to be a characteristic of the Japanese army, and it was the staff officers who planned to blow up Zhang Zuolin, and it was the staff officers who planned 918. It was these young Zhuang soldiers who planned rebellions and riots in Japan and actively opposed the emperor's surrender even when Japan surrendered.

After they do something risky, they are promoted and rewarded as long as they succeed. Even if you don't succeed, you will become a hero of Japan.

What did Masanobu Tsuji formulate this "Outline for the Handling of Manchu-Soviet Border Disputes"? For Action Plan No. 8.

Action No. 8 was drawn up by the Japanese General Staff Headquarters in the autumn of 1938. It was a plan to invade the Soviet Union. Plan for two plans: A and B. Plan A provided for directing the main assault zone to the Soviet Frontier, that is, in the direction of Vladivostok. Plan B points in the direction of Trans-Baikal, that is, Outer Mongolia and Siberia.

Because of the experiment of the Zhang Gufeng conflict, in line with the principle that the East does not shine and the West shines, Plan B was passed.

Option B is interesting and can be said to be tactically excellent. Don't fight anything Vladivostok, go and go to a hard encounter with the super-fortified coastal fortresses of Vladivostok, cut off Trans-Baikal, the USSR was divided in two, and Vladivostok was self-defeating. From this scheme, it can be seen that the Japanese are tactically attained.

It needs to be said that this Eighth Plan of Action was already on Stalin's table. Who did this to you?

Sorge.

The news of Ryushikov's defection and the contents of the eighth battle plan were all made up by Sorge.

Sorge was the greatest spy of World War II. How many books have been written about his experience, and movies have been filmed. His adventures, his wisdom, his achievements, are all talked about.

As a result, the Kwantung Army needed to fight the Soviet Union in the west. To fight with the Soviet Union, there is always a need for an excuse.

After the Nomenkan conflict, the excuse came.

Based on Masanobu Tsuji's character, we can understand his feelings. If there is a Chinese saying to describe his mood, it is: as soon as he wants to sleep, someone will send him a pillow.

Let's fight.

On May 5, 1938, Wang Santai's special operations unit sent a telegram describing the border conflict and also reporting on the deployment of Japanese troops.

Wang Santai's special operations unit took the special combat personnel they trained as the backbone, and selected outstanding fighters from the defense units in Yichun City, and then transferred people who had received short-term special operations training from other units near Yichun, making a total of 3,000 troops.

The composition of the troops began very early and was ready before the great reorganization. When Xiaolu was active in the area of the Mudanjiang River and the south bank of the Songhua River, he had to arrange the reorganization of the army by telegram almost every day, and the special combat team was the unit he focused on.

Wang Santai's troops are very mysterious, and the outside world does not know that there are such troops. They arrived in Baichengzi shortly after the Spring Festival. Liu Quan was assigned by Lin Meng to send a small detachment to meet the special operations troops. The special operations team had someone to help, and it only took twenty days to get to the white wolf.

The White Wolf is a station halfway from Baicheng to Arshan, not far from a small river, and there are few households. Later, the station was built, the train was opened, and many people gradually moved in, built houses near the station, and the village grew from small to large.

At the foot of the South Mountain on the edge of the White Wolf Village, there is a large yard, with a sign hanging on the gate, and three crooked dogs climb the big characters: Collect mountain goods.

That's the base. Since Liu Quan's people entered the White Wolf, they built a large yard around the original dilapidated house here, and within a month, dozens of White Wolf's families have developed into related households, buying their leather goods and mountain goods.

On the surface, the base is still an abandoned house of broken wood, and a family lives in the house, and this family collects mountain goods. There are a few guys in the people who collect the mountain goods.

Wang Santai used this place as a transit point, and a team of 1,000 people drove to Hailar Arshan and other places to lurk, and in the spring, the other 2,000 people also drove in and established a series of bases. In addition to training, they also reconnoitred, and a large amount of information was continuously transmitted back to Yichun.

Received a telegram from Wang Santai, Xiaolu instructed: continue reconnaissance, establish a base, and not participate in any battles.

At the time of receiving Wang Santai's telegram, Yi Chun was in a meeting, a meeting to study the situation, the purpose of which was to gather information in order to make a plan for the summer of 1939 and even for the whole year. Yang Jingyu, Wei Zhengmin, and Zhao Shangzhi sent people to attend, and Zhou Baozhong personally came to Yichun to attend the meeting.

For this, Xiao Lu had to admire Zhou Baozhong's keen political sense. Historically, it is no accident that he was able to keep thousands of people from entering the Soviet Union, which had a huge impact on the situation in the Northeast later.

In light of the situation summed up in various localities at all levels, the General Staff Headquarters drew up an annual plan to eliminate part of the puppet army, strike at the Japanese army, and cooperate economically and militarily with the main battlefield in Kannai, focusing on rural work and supplemented by local campaigns. To put it bluntly, it was to drag the Kwantung Army into a deeper quagmire.

The plan was immediately sent to senior commanders who had not attended the meeting for their comments. A day later, there were only minor adjustments, and everyone unanimously agreed to report it to northern Shaanxi. If no accidents happen, it is estimated that northern Shaanxi will agree.

In fact, even if Xiao Lu didn't know about the Battle of Nomenkan, then he would definitely support this plan.

The problem is very simple: With tens of thousands of troops with very poor equipment, it is already good to be able to fight guerrillas, and if you occasionally rely on stratagem to fight some major battles, you must take a lot of measures to cooperate. Hard-hitting, hard-fought with the Kwantung Army, victory is impossible. The land in the northeast is huge, and the Japanese army cannot occupy all of it, which is the rationality of the above plan.

However, the Battle of Nomenkan created an opportunity for himself to grow stronger in the cracks.

Xiaolu also has one more intention, which can only be thought of, and absolutely cannot be said, that is, to take this opportunity to weaken the strength of the Soviet army.

World War II was a time of madness. In this era, the military is superstitious, regardless of the economic power comparison, reckless of the consequences, and even does not care about the people's hearts and minds at all. Fighting on two fronts is the norm in many countries, and attacking from all sides is the norm in many countries. A place is fighting, and people hundreds of miles away enjoy the same material conditions as no one else.

The Soviet Union had two main battlefields, the Soviet Union, the east and west, Germany, and the United States, Europe, and Asia. China? On the one hand, the anti-Japanese war and the other side of the civil war were also the two main battlefields; One is the frontal battlefield and the other is the battlefield behind enemy lines. How to look, how to be two battlefields.

God!

The initiator, what is the aftermath? Xiaolu is also preparing to attack the two main battlefields together.

As a result, Koji also joined the team that applauded the border clashes.

Of course, he did not need to change this policy, he only needed to send a certain number of troops to cooperate with the Soviet Union's Battle of Nomenkan, while other troops took advantage of the fire to loot and complete this plan.

He wanted to make a big game and bring both the Kwantung Army and the Soviets into it.

Xiaolu said: "Okay. Ordered the General Staff to contact the Soviet Far Eastern Front, saying that we have information on the recent deployment of the Japanese Kwantung Army and would like to report it to them. ”
