The 35th Division withdrew for nearly 30 miles, and finally stopped at Qingyang Town for repairs. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

In just one day, the entire 35th Division lost more than 1,200 people, and at the same time, more than 60 combat vehicles were completely destroyed, and such a defeat was unacceptable to Lieutenant General Maeda.

And this matter is also something he can't hide, such a major defeat is not something that his small commander of the C-class infantry division can hide, so as soon as he withdrew to Qingyang Town, Lieutenant General Maeda sent a telegram to his boss, Lieutenant General Okamura Ninji, and reported to Okamura in detail about today's defeat.

Of course, Lieutenant General Maeda was very experienced in dealing with these matters, and he did not call the defeat a defeat a big defeat like a general officer, but a defeat.

In the city of Beiping, after receiving a telegram from Lieutenant General Osamu Maeda, Okamura Ningji's first reaction was not anger but deep surprise!

He had heard of the combat effectiveness of the troops of the Suicha Military Region for a long time, whether it was the troops of the North China Front Army or some divisions of the Kwantung Army, they all admired this unit very much, and even sometimes Okamura Ninji had to suspect that those guys had mythologized that army.

Okamura had been studying this Japanese unit before, and through analysis, he found that the unit entrenched in northern China was indeed different from the ordinary Chinese army, and their tactical guiding ideology was very advanced, far more advanced than that of the vast majority of the imperial troops.

And the soldiers of this army seem to know very well what they are doing, it has been more than three years since this army entered the sight of the imperial army, but in such a long time, the imperial army has fought with this army no less than hundreds of times, but the empire is almost defeated in every major battle, and every battle has to be lost.

What was most difficult for Okamura to accept was that there were now about 200,000 prisoners in the custody of the entire North China Front, but less than 4,000 belonged to the Eighth Route Army, and less than 50 were captured under Ma Zheng's department.

This is worth discussing, the contrast between 200,000 and 50 is too stark. Moreover, even among the more than 50 prisoners belonging to Ma Zheng's department, only six really belong to the front-line combatants, and the rest are some administrative personnel who were quietly kidnapped by the special high-tech department.

In addition, these captives are very hard-boned, and no matter what kind of interrogation is carried out by the special high school, almost nothing is found, and even if they use high-ranking officials to lure or torture to extract confessions, they cannot get useful information from the mouths of those prisoners.

Some prisoners knew that there was no hope of escaping and even decisively chose to commit suicide, so up to now, among all the troops and political groups that have received the attention of the empire in the entire China, Ma Zheng's department has the least information.

Originally, Lieutenant General Okamura Ninji was still very confident that the front army would attack Ma Zheng's headquarters with all its might, but now it seems that even if this battle is won, the front army will have to pay great losses.

What is even more stupid is that a few commanders at the front line went so far as to command troops to massacre the civilians of China a few days ago, which not only aroused international dissatisfaction with the Japanese Empire, but also caused a large number of civilians in North China to flee.

Without people, it is impossible to raise food and materials, and if it is impossible to raise war materials on the spot, it must be transferred from the big cities of Beiping, and this has invisibly increased the pressure on the logistics departments of the front army.

Although it seems that the front army is in a favorable situation of attacking now, in Okamura Ninji's view, the people of Shina are not blindly allowing the empire to attack, and they are not not fighting back, nor are they blindly harassing, but they are accumulating strength, and if they don't make a move, they will be shocked.

After carefully reading and reading the telegram sent by the 35th Division, Okamura Ninji found two rather puzzled questions. The first problem is that the 35th Division has repeatedly mentioned that the Japanese troops have field heavy artillery, which is a strategic weapon, but as far as Okamura Ninji knows, the Eighth Route Army does not seem to have used field heavy artillery.

Some time ago, the base camp sent more than 30 planes to the front army, the vast majority of which were bombers and reconnaissance planes, because there was almost no air force in China, even in the hands of the government of China, there were only more than 200 tattered Soviet-made planes left, and the air force was a joke for the entire China, especially the entire Eighth Route Army did not have a single aircraft, so the sky of the entire North China was the Japanese Empire, so the fighter plane lost its value.

Therefore, after consultations, the base camp decided to replace all the fighters that were transferred to the front aviation regiment with more practical bombers and reconnaissance planes.

With these reconnaissance planes, together with all the air power of the four military airfields in Baoding, Qinhuangdao, Tianjin, and Beiping, more than 300 imperial planes brought all the communication arteries in the Suicha area into the scope of surveillance and bombing before the start of the current battle to attack the Suicha area.

Herein lies the problem, the reconnaissance planes have to monitor the roads in the Suicha area almost every moment, and no one has reported that there is a large-scale artillery movement in the headquarters of the people, especially the field heavy artillery!

You must know that the behemoth of field heavy artillery is not easy to move, even if it is only one, the movement is huge, and without good logistics support and infrastructure cooperation, it cannot be transported to the front line at all.

The second question is even more puzzling, as in a telegram sent to him by Lieutenant General Maeda, it was stated that the Shina troops had used a new type of weapon that was extremely powerful and could be used on a large scale, and this weapon appeared to be a giant mine with a radius of 100 meters and an effective radius of 50 meters.

What is the concept of weapons and equipment with a radius of 100 meters, it is not that the Japanese Empire does not have this kind of cannon, the problem is that this kind of cannon is generally equipped on a huge warship as a main or secondary gun, and its weight determines that he can no longer act on the shore except for the occasional shore defense gun, in addition to this, even the largest field gun produced by the empire cannot achieve this kind of lethality.

A radius of 100 meters, it is creepy to think about, which means that a mine planted by the people of China can make thousands of square meters of land become purgatory on earth.

This news had to make Lieutenant General Okamura Ninji feel extremely suspicious, if the Chinese can really produce this kind of weapon, then what else to fight in this war, as long as China buries dozens or hundreds of such large mines on the road through the imperial army, then it will be easy to destroy a division of the empire.

And the Great Japanese Empire only had dozens of divisions and regiments in the entire battlefield of China, and the China army only needed to produce a few thousand such mines to keep all the imperial soldiers in China, hehe, is this possible?

Let's not talk about whether China's industrial production capacity can produce such weapons of mass destruction, in terms of knowledge reserves, China and the Great Japanese Empire were in contact with Western culture almost at the same time, and due to historical reasons, the empire even positioned Western studies as a national culture earlier than China, so the degree of industrialization and the accumulation of knowledge such as physics and chemistry in the Great Rien Empire was far stronger than that of China, which had been fighting wars for a century.

Even so, the Empire of Japan had not developed such a terrible mine, so it was impossible for China, which was far inferior to the Empire of Japan in terms of industrial production capacity and knowledge reserves, to produce such terrifying weapons and equipment.

But then again, the Chinese are a nation good at creating, and even more so, a nation good at creating miracles, and nothing seems impossible for them.

Just like this war, which itself seems to be a huge disparity in strength, before the war began, the top of the empire made arguments on all aspects of the war, and the result of the argument was that the Japanese could not last more than three months, so they came up with the ridiculous and generous argument of destroying China in three months.

But now it seems how ridiculous that argument is, let alone three months, now it has been a full three years, but China is still China, and it has not become the China of the Great Japanese Empire.

Therefore, it is not impossible for the Chinese to suddenly create a powerful weapon of destruction, and this matter is confirmed by the excellent field division of an empire at the cost of thousands of lives, and its truth is very large. (To be continued.) )
