607: Pessimistic situation

'Gurgle......

The battle map marked by Yoshimasa Oshima himself made many Japanese officers in the headquarters stunned, if everything Yoshimasa Oshima said was true, then the consequences would be ......

"Your Excellency Commander, the enemy has only one armored division, but they have to defend such a large area, I'm afraid they don't have enough troops, right?" The former staff officer said with some discouragement. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

How is it possible for a division to go and block a line of defense that is more than 30 kilometers long? Unless he has 30,000 men in a division, then an average of one meter will need one person to defend. Only in this way will it be possible to cut off the support of the Japanese troops on the periphery.

But this is obviously unlikely, the Chinese are much more equipped than the Japanese army, the firepower is more fierce than theirs, correspondingly, the number of logistics is also more than the Japanese army, a full 22,000 infantry division, its real combat force can be 15,000 people is considered good.

What the enemy's armored division will be, they don't know for the time being, but it is certain that the enemy will only have a maximum of 20,000 people, plus tanks or something, and its infantry is estimated to be about 15,000 people, or only 10,000 infantry. And according to intelligence, the troops of the armored division that broke through did not stop to defend in place, but most of them ran to the front and continued to advance the line with the large forces.

In this case, how could they possibly cover all the areas? Frankly speaking, an armored division dares to go deep alone, although their combat effectiveness is indeed very strong, and the tanks are also invulnerable, and they can basically ensure invincibility on the battlefield, but the Japanese army really can't find a way to deal with it?

I'm afraid not necessarily, the Japanese have never felt that there are any difficulties that cannot be overcome, this battle has been fought so far, although the Japanese have no bottom in their hearts, but at least they have not lost confidence in the first war, at least they still feel that the Japanese are capable of fighting with the Chinese, even if the losses are more.

"No, don't think too highly of our combat effectiveness, I admit that our army's combat effectiveness is indeed considered to be in the middle of the army at the same level, but the Chinese are not at the same level as us at all, and there are some things that you may not be very clear, so it has affected your judgment now." Yoshimasa Oshima smiled bitterly and shook his head, if he wasn't the commander of this battle, I'm afraid the above wouldn't have told him the news, right?

Is this the sorrow of the Japanese? Is it the helplessness of the Japanese? For the future of Japan, Oshima Yoshimasa already felt deep worries, and even doubted, why did they provoke the Chinese in the first place? And again and again, to provoke them, as a result, leading to the current murder?

"In the Sino-Russian War, the Chinese successively invested five armored divisions, and at most, two armored divisions acted together, and these two armored divisions broke through the Russian defense line in less than twenty minutes in the Novosibirsk campaign, and then rushed into the Russian camp with a burst of random fire, disrupting the Russian army's position, and then a large number of infantry followed.

If we had to fight that battle, with 400,000 men, it would have taken us a month to win, and we would have suffered more than half of our casualties. But the Chinese won the war in only three days, more than half of the 500,000 Russian troops were killed and wounded, and the rest fled in four places, one of the armored divisions was responsible for being ordered to pursue, and as a result, in just two days, in the area they were responsible for pursuing, more than 100,000 Russian troops died, and the captured were captured, and in the end less than 10,000 people managed to escape.

In that war, the Russian army was greatly damaged and could not recover in a short time, which is the key to why the Chinese were able to solve the Russian problem in two years. ”

Speaking of this, Yoshimasa Oshima couldn't help but look at his command team and asked, "Do you know where the advantages of the armored forces are?" Do you know where their weaknesses are? ”

The group of people shook their heads secretly, if it weren't for today's battle, they wouldn't know what armored forces were at all, and at the same time, they were secretly hating their superiors, if they had told them about these situations earlier, they wouldn't have to be so passive now.

"Armored forces, that is, literally, an army composed of a large number of armored vehicles, according to the information we currently have, the enemy should have about ten divisions of armored troops, and each armored division has a strength of about 20,000 to 30,000 people, more than 500 armored vehicles of all kinds, of which tanks occupy more than 300.

A tank weighed one or twenty tons, was made entirely of armor, and was equipped with a main gun, 37 mm or 75 mm, and a coaxial machine gun.

It can be said that this is a mobile steel battery, a mobile machine gun fortress, and unless we use more than 75 mm guns, we will not be able to completely destroy them.

And their mobility ability is not weaker than that of trucks, although the distance of more than ten kilometers seems to be a long time, but if necessary, they can reach any battlefield within twenty minutes and participate in the battle. In other words, which of our troops is capable of breaking through the enemy's line in twenty minutes?

Since it is not possible to break through the enemy's lines in twenty minutes, then what does it matter where they deploy their forces? What would be the consequences if they placed their tanks in these three places separately after the meeting? They will be able to support any battlefield in less than ten minutes.

The speed of movement of our army is not comparable to the speed of tank armor in any way, and perhaps they can crush us to death with their weight of one or twenty tons without firing at all.

If they rely on their own speed and move to the front of our breakthrough road to deploy defenses, then how many of us will be able to escape when the enemy is flanked from both sides?

So, without any further hesitation, immediately convey my order, order all the troops to break through at once, find a safe place, and we will break it up and go to the enemy little by little, and if possible, act at night as much as possible. That's our only advantage. "Yoshimasa Oshima pointed to three points in the center of the map and pointed out the strength of the armored forces.

It is actually not difficult for an armored division to block a length of more than 30 kilometers, and it may be difficult for them to cope with a surprise attack by a small force, but a surprise attack by a large force can only hit the muzzle of their guns.

Now Oshima only hopes that the Chinese will be slightly slower, and his orders can be transmitted to the troops in front as soon as possible. The troops on the front were able to question less, immediately break through, and then the success rate of the breakthrough was higher.

As long as the troops can be dispersed in Hokkaido, hiding during the day and sneaking up on the enemy at night, maybe one or two days is nothing, but what about ten days and twenty days, one hundred days and two hundred days? I'm afraid the enemy will go crazy, right?

It would not be a blessing for Japan if they could control only Hokkaido, but at least they could keep the more industrially developed and densely populated island of Honshu, which is the foundation of Japan, and as long as Honshu remains, Japan has hope of a resurgence.

"Hey, Your Excellency Commander, I'm going to deliver the order." The first staff officer replied in his heart for a long time.

What Yoshimasa Oshima said just now, they have accepted it all, because Yoshimasa Oshima has no reason to deceive them, and the enemy's armored forces do exist, and the ability to penetrate the defense has been placed in front of them, which is why they can't believe it.

It's just that no one knows the pain in Oshima Yoshimasa's heart at this moment, and he will break it into pieces and scatter the sneak attack, which is indeed the best way at the moment. A large-scale decisive battle has proved to be impossible, but as a government army, they must organize a frontal resistance, and once the government army goes to fight guerrilla warfare, the prestige of the government will decline sharply if it is known to the people.

This is not something that the government can afford.

And the only possibility is to send part of the troops to fight guerrillas, and then send part of the forces to resist head-on, even if they know that it is a failure, they must do so, because a country's regular army is never allowed to retreat at such a time, otherwise heaven will not tolerate it.

Oshima did not doubt that the Japanese government would not accept his proposal, and now he was most worried that he wanted to keep the war in Hokkaido and prevent the war from spreading to the other three core Japanese islands of Honshu, Kyushu, and Shikoku.

This is naturally what Japan wants to see, but at the moment they do not have the ability to control it, and frankly, Oshima Yoshimasa is not completely sure that he will be able to control the Hakodate pier all the time.

Once the Hakodate pier is lost, it means that the Japanese army can only carry out a large-scale landing from other docks, and those docks are too far away, the road is too far, and the voyage time is long, which means that anything can happen, once the Chinese completely block all the docks, and the Japanese army has no place to land, then these Japanese troops in Hokkaido will become the turtle in the urn.

If you eat a bite of food, you will lose a mouthful of food, and in the end, you may be able to get some from the civilians, and you should barely be able to survive. But if they don't have ammunition, how can this battle be fought?

The Japanese army is learning orthodox tactical theories, and if you ask him to fight with ten bullets, they can't adapt to this style of play at all, and they are guaranteed to be confused.

There are many problems facing Japan, and there seem to be many solutions, but if you think about it carefully, you will find that none of them will work.

Oshima Yoshimasa was very entangled and depressed, and in the face of the Chinese who were on the offensive, Oshima Yoshimasa could not find any way to deal with it, and several methods that he had thought of before had also been declared a failure.
