Okamura Ninji asked with a smile: "In Iida-kun's meaning, the defeat was not the fault of the imperial army, nor was it caused by the commander's command error, but because the Shina people were too strong?" ”

"Your Excellency, there are mistakes in command, but they are not the main reason for the failure. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info Maybe the imperial army was indeed a little careless at first, but with so many troops being wiped out as a formation and so many generals being captured and killed, in the process of fighting against the Chinese army, especially in the face of the Chinese Ma Zheng's department, how dare the imperial army slack? Iida Sadagu said loudly.

Okamura Ninji smiled and said, "I have here an analysis of His Excellency Naosaburo Gangbe, the former chief of staff of the Front Army, which was specially left by Okana-kun to His Excellency Tadajun. Gangbe-kun believes that the reason why the Imperial Army has repeatedly defeated the North China Army in addition to what Iida-kun just said, there are the following reasons: The first is that there is a problem with the deployment of troops in the North China Front, mainly because the battle line is too long and the strength is very limited. ”

According to Gangbe-kun's calculations, before Showa 15, the North China Front had an average of only 2 people per 3 square kilometers. In the absence of a precise and regular corrective objective, it often becomes a static defense. ”

"During this period, if the imperial army did not take the initiative to fight, the Chinese side rarely attacked. At first glance, it seems that a non-aggression pact has been concluded. But let's not forget that this is in China, and during the coexistence of the two sides, the Chinese army is secretly working among the common people, replenishing its strength, and when the time is ripe, it can turn to the offensive in one fell swoop. ”

In addition, the military discipline and style of the imperial army were really poor, and it had left a bad influence on the common people of China, such as cruelty, tyranny, and murder, which greatly hindered the operations of the front army in the security area. I am extremely dissatisfied with the performance of the Imperial Japanese Army in the security area, and the existence of those scum will only discredit the Imperial Japanese Army, and will only make the common people of China hate us more and be more willing to assist the Eighth Route of the Chinese Army against us. ”

Before Okamura Ninji's words were finished, the commander of the 32nd Division, Kimura Hyotaro, got up and said loudly: "Your Excellency Commander, those common people are very cunning, they are all Diao people, and they should all die!" ”

Hearing this, Okamura Ningji's face changed greatly, and then he said angrily: "Yaga, Kimura-kun, I know your performance in this battle of southern Hebei, to be honest, I am disappointed." As a lieutenant general commander of the Great Japanese Empire, a real soldier, Your Excellency actually took only the common people to blackmail the army, and the face of the Imperial Japanese Army and the Great Japanese Empire have been lost by you! If it weren't for His Royal Highness the Prince and Tojo-kun to protect you, you should be tried in the Tokyo Military Court right now! ”

"Hay!" Kimura Hyotaro hurriedly bowed his head and said, at the same time, he was also very remorseful in his heart, why did he have to talk too much, he was full!

I only heard Okamura Ninji continue: "Those common people are certainly very cunning, but without those cunning Shina farmers, who do we go to collect food supplies, and how can our army fight without food. The Imperial Army wanted long-term peace and stability, not plundering and withdrawing. Therefore, we must create a good public order environment for the people of China, so that it will be much easier to deal with the eight roads of the earth. ”

As a soldier, despite being in a state of hostility with the Chinese, Okamura Ninji still believes that soldiers should have military ethics, and is extremely dissatisfied with Kimura Hyotaro's violent and murderous words and deeds.

Okamura's sudden outburst startled all the senior officers in the conference room, it was still a gentle drizzle just now, why was it suddenly thunderous?

Especially Kimura Hyotaro, who had just been loudly reprimanded by Okamura, he felt that he was really wronged, even more wronged than the woman in the Shina drama, everything he did was for the sake of the Japanese Empire, not for himself, why did this matter become so unbearable in the mouth of General Okamura, it seems that he is not worthy of being a soldier at all in the eyes of General Okamura.

Kimura couldn't accept such an "insult" at all, and the furious Kimura Hyotaro was about to have a good debate with the newly appointed commander of the Front Army, but just as he was about to speak, he suddenly thought that this Okamura General was not easy to deal with, and it was obviously not a wise choice to directly confront him.

"Your Excellency Commander, the military discipline of the Imperial Army is still very good, and now that the Imperial Army is an occupation army, it is understandable that some small violations of discipline occasionally occur, after all, the Great Japanese warriors have come to China thousands of miles away, and some negative emotions in their hearts must be vented through 'reasonable' means!" Hyotaro Kimura said in a deep voice.

"Yaga, strong. Rape the women of China, rob the common people of China, and wantonly slaughter the civilians of China, this is what you call military discipline is good? Okamura Ninji said loudly.

Lieutenant General Iida stood up and explained: "Your Excellency, the military discipline of the soldiers of the Imperial Army really needs to be improved, but this is also something that cannot be helped, after all, the area occupied by the Imperial Army is now being infiltrated by many armed forces in China, so the law and order is very poor, and the common people of China are secretly helping the resisters. Therefore, it is inevitable that the soldiers will have some excesses during the sweep, and these are completely understandable! ”

Okamura Ninji said coldly: "Iida-kun, you are also one of the famous generals of the empire, you should know the importance of strict military discipline, whether an army is strong or not depends on military discipline, if military discipline is lax, then even Oda Nobunaga's rebirth will not help." In fact, I don't look at the military discipline of the North China Front and I know that it is definitely not good, even if it is not as bad as reported by the China government, but it will certainly not be too good. ”

Okamura Ninji has his own set of standards for judging whether the military discipline of the Japanese army in the occupied area is good or not, and the criteria are very simple, and from the eyes of the Chinese girl, you can see whether the military discipline of the local garrison is good or bad.

If there is absolutely no sign of the girl on the street, it is absolutely "bad military discipline". If the Shina girl was amazed by the Japanese cars and trucks and looked out of the window from a distance, then it was judged that "military discipline was slightly better." If the Chinese girl walks calmly on the street where Japanese soldiers come and go, then it is judged that "military discipline is good".

"Ladies and gentlemen, now the front army is suffering from the most dangerous situation since the Shina Incident. As warriors of the Great Japanese Empire, we must break this unfavorable situation. In view of the current situation, the Imperial Army urgently had to do three things, the first of which was to maintain law and order and stabilize the law and order in the occupied areas, and then gradually regain the lost territory. ”

Then Okamura Ninji said again: "The goal of the Imperial Army's policy now should be to take the planned measure of taking the initiative to attack, to divide the territory, to consolidate the security area within a limited time, to conceal the strength of the quasi-security area, to enter the security area in a planned way, and to advance to the unsafe area with the remaining troops, so that it can develop into the quasi-security area. The ultimate goal is to bring 100 million people in northern China to the Japanese side. To follow such steps, we should neither rush to achieve results nor miss the opportunity, and we must have targeted tactics. ”

"The second thing is the rectification of military discipline, which is the fastest and most fundamental way to improve the combat effectiveness of the North China Front. Then formulate corresponding measures to rectify military discipline. ”

"The third thing is to ensure that the passage with Manchuria and Central China is unblocked, first of all, we must ensure the smooth passage to the north, that is, the connection with Manchuria, which is an effective way to deal with the continuous offensive of Ma Zheng's department, Ma Zheng's department and several other Chinese armies can cooperate with each other, and our northern Chinese front army can also cooperate with each other, and can even unite to completely defeat Ma Zheng's department."

"Secondly, it is necessary to ensure the smooth passage to the south, that is, the communication with the Central China Dispatch Army. As long as the Kwantung Army's communication channel with us and the Chinese army is unblocked, then the empire will be invincible in the China battlefield. ”

As soon as Okamura Ninji finished saying the three things, the whole conference room immediately burst into warm applause, and it was obvious that these three things were very necessary in the eyes of the senior Japanese officers present, and they were formulated based on the specific conditions in North China, not exaggerated talk, still less unrealistic.

It is said that there are three fires for new officials to take office, and it seems that Okamura Ningji's three fires are not only burning, but also burning into the hearts of these Japanese generals! (To be continued.) )
