Chapter 341: The Vajra Line
Now the National Political Axe has begun to study how to card the neck of the Tenth War Zone, but many people in the National Political Axe are also very clear that the vital Soviet aid still has to pass through the Dingyuan Battalion of the Tenth War Zone, if the card is too ruthless, I am afraid that Zhang Xuewu will turn his face, for example, this time Zhang Xuewu assisted a large number of ordnance materials in the Fifth War Zone, and as a result, the Fifth War Zone became a guest on the wall, can Zhang Xuewu not be jealous? This is obvious, but Chairman Chiang gave another order to weaken the forces of the 10th theater of operations? Reducing China's own national defense forces at a time when the Kou invaded the country on a large scale? Want your most powerful army to be wiped out?
What is the reasoning behind this? He Yingqin, who returned to the Ministry of Military Affairs, felt that the heavy responsibility given to him by Chairman Jiang was too heavy, and if he was not careful, he would become the second Wang Jingwei who specialized in carrying the black pot, so He Yingqin decided to take a few days to see the situation, after all, Zhang Xuewu is also angry now, otherwise how could he make a denunciation telegram? A war zone that hangs behind enemy lines only has the establishment of 12 divisions, and the rest have to rely on self-financing, He Yingqin is also very interested, where did Zhang Xuewu get the money? Or is it closely related to countries such as Soviet Russia or Europe and the United States?
Where did He Yingqin think about it? In fact, part of Zhang Xuewu's Baotou industrial base is military aid from the Soviet Union, and part of it is the fundraising of overseas Chinese launched by Zhou Ying, and the Chinese floating overseas hope to have a strong motherland, because only a strong motherland can they not be bullied and slaughtered, Zhang Xuewu gave Zhou Ying a package, that is, as long as he is still in power, after the country unifies and expells Yuekou, he will make the newly rising and war-torn country become the umbrella of the Chinese all over the world, and he wants to write this article into the constitution. Moreover, a part of the shares of future arms, steel, petroleum and other related industries will be compensated to these selfless Chinese donors, so Zhang Xuewu can get an almost astronomical donation to maintain a huge military investment.
It can be said that the overseas Chinese collective is also making an unprecedented gamble! They gambled that Zhang Xuewu would be able to unify the country and expel Yue Kou! Even if there is only one side of the world, then their hard work is not in vain!
After the end of the battle, in just 20 days, more than 200,000 young men and women arrived in Rehe to join the army through the northwest of Shanxi, which can be said to be completely Zhang Xuewu's condemnation of the power of the telegram, the government's [***] incompetence has completely disappointed too many people, if the whole country is handed over to Zhang Xuewu now, Zhang Xuewu can only stare dryly, he needs to kill at least 90% of the officials to rebuild the official system, But this also means that the vacancies will be filled by enthusiastic students with no experience and qualifications, and the losses caused by lack of experience are likely to exceed the losses caused by corruption, as Zhang Xuewu knows very well.
Therefore, it is far better to transform a system than to rebuild a system, Zhang Xuewu engaged in a variant of fascism in Rehe, using his personal prestige and prestige to promote a cult of personality, because in this special era, only to engage in an extremely special political system, such as the iron-blooded officer corps in the army with him as an idol is a primary political party system, Zhang Xuewu did not have strong support on the surface, but secretly instructed the political department to give guidance, this is the capital of the future, and most of the young students under the jurisdiction of the 10th War Zone are from outside, These students have passion, enthusiasm, and ideals, and they are the best management, whether they are placed in the army or in the locality, Zhang Xuewu is at ease.
The formation of the four main forces made Zhang Xuewu decide to act in two aspects at the same time, one is to threaten the Pingjin army, because the only three divisions of the North China Army did not dare to stick to Yanjing or any city in Tianjin, because holding on means being surrounded and annihilated, which Terauchi Shouichi knows very well, and it is very helpless that the reorganized troops in the local area are still being reorganized, and the main force of the North China Front Army is in Jinzhou at the moment to assist in defense, and at this moment, even the staff officers of the staff headquarters who liked to speak loudly in the past are also silent.
Because, no one knows where Zhang Xuewu's thunderous blow will fall? This is a question that makes me very confused and entangled, because Zhang Xuewu's strategic and tactical deployment has always been very weird, who knows where Zhang Xuewu's next soldier will be?
In particular, Zhang Xuewu was caught off guard by the Kwantung Army, and the losses of the defensive counterattack were also quite large, so Zhang Xuewu's counterattack would definitely be very fierce, and the North China side would definitely not be able to stop Zhang Xuewu's stormy counterattack, while the Kwantung Army would garrison the Jinzhou frontline.
Umezu Mijiro, the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army's trust, sent a telegram to both the Ministry of War and the General Staff Headquarters, requesting that all the materials stored in North Korea be transferred to the Kwantung Army, and that one million laborers be conscripted to build an Eastern Macedonian defense line in Jinzhou, which was originally a defense line to be built on the border between Manchuria and the Soviet Union, and now Umezu Mijiro was persuaded by Ishihara to shorten this original 1,700-kilometer defense line to 400 meters and build it in Jinzhou, after all, the Shanhaiguan Pass was lost. With the current situation of the Kwantung Army, it is simply not capable of launching a new offensive, but this is not the biggest headache for Umezu Mijiro, and what he suffers the most is if he deals with Hideki Tojo? Because after joint consultations between the Ministry of War and the General Staff Headquarters, the ball was kicked to the Kwantung Army.
Moreover, Okamura Ningji's North China Army is now also stationed in Jinzhou, and it was supposed to pass through before it can return to North China, but Pingjin is facing the threat of the North China cluster in the 10th Theater, and the military headquarters and the General Staff Headquarters do not dare to let Okamura Ningji's headquarters use sea transportation, in case of bombing or surprise attacks during transportation, they can only increase the losses of the troops in vain.
In terms of strategy and tactics, he is divided into two extremes, one is Ishihara Waner and Umezu Mijiro, Okamura Ninji such sensible and meticulous and scheming, and the other is the Tojo Hideki type idiot jade type, which may be the second Kwantung Army was defeated and under the strong fortress of Rehe, so Umezu Mijiro was also obsessed with a strong fortress, and his battle plan for the military headquarters and the staff headquarters was actually equivalent to giving up North China in disguise, so that the remnants of the North China Front Army and the Central China Front Army were integrated, and his Kwantung Army was concentrated on dealing with Soviet Russia, only by cutting off the route of Soviet Russia to aid China, then he could defeat Zhang Xuewu's department, which swept the 10th theater.
Ishihara's plan for a decisive battle undoubtedly moved the military leadership, to conclude a secret treaty with Germany, to attack the Russians at the right time, the Kwantung Army needed at least three years to build a strong defensive line in Jinzhou, stationed more than ten divisions, and then attack the Far East with the main force of 700,000 Kwantung Army! This secret plan is undoubtedly crazy, because the attack on Zhang Xuewu's Kwantung Army suffered two consecutive defeats, but even Ishihara Guaner did not analyze the reasons from the main aspects, in Ishihara Waner's opinion, without the support of the Soviets, defeating, encircling, blockading, and eliminating the tenth theater of operations is only a matter of time, so it is natural to aim the troops at the Soviet Union, first fight at the conclusion of the treaty, and then tear the treaty to attack the Soviet Union together with Germany, it seems to be the best choice!
At that time, if you directly attack Suiyuan from the Far East, you can avoid the fortress fortress city that Zhang Xuewu has connected with points, and attack the enemy's soft underbelly from behind, because no fortress and defense line can be defended in all directions, and if the middle [***] of the 10th theater attacks Jinzhou with the main force, the powerful navy can land along the Shanhaiguan Pass at any time and cut off the retreat of the central [***], which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
However, at present, in addition to building the "King Kong Defense Line" in Jinzhou, Umezu Mijiro also has to study the plan against Soviet Russia with Ishihara Waner, and the Kwantung Army, as a strategic force of the Imperial Army, must grasp the strategic initiative and cannot be cut off by those strategic idiots in the General Staff Headquarters, and Umezu Mijiro has the right to play, and can ask the Imperial Council to play at any time, and with the convenience of this right to play, the battle plan of Umezu Mijiro and Ishihara Waner must be approved by the Imperial Council and finally implemented.
Just when Umezu Mijiro was busy hitting the back of the head, Heilongjiang sent a very light tank, which is said to have been left behind by the attack on Unit 731, and the air force units of the 10th Theater of Operations attacked the station of Unit 731 fiercely and accurately, completely destroying it, according to the judgment of the intelligence department, the [***] must have used special forces for radiopositioning and navigation, but after the 731 station was bombed, the search of the troops within a range of 50 kilometers found nothing, Only two destroyed light tanks were found?
How did such a light combat vehicle appear in the control of the well-defended 731 troops? Even the intelligence department can't explain clearly, and the army aviation thinks that it may be that the enemy has mastered more advanced technology and is capable of airdropping combat vehicles of a certain weight and volume?
Umezu Mijiro circled around the tank whose name was translated, the "Foxhound" ultra-light armored assault vehicle? As for Rehe's penchant for using animal names in tank names, Umezu Mijiro believes that this may be a custom of the Germans, who have now completely abandoned the Chinese side and are secretly negotiating agreements with the Empire.
The first thing Ishihara wanted to do when he returned to Jinzhou after the various divisions visited and investigated was to report to Umezu Mijiro, but he learned that Umezu Mijiro was inspecting the wreckage of Zhang Xuewu's troops, so he also rushed over.
Umezu Mijiro beckoned to Ishihara-kun and said, "Ishihara-kun, please take a look!" The chariots of the Shina people have developed to the point where we are incredible, and the overall welding process is probably only used in the turrets of large warships in the Empire, right? Zhang Xuewu was actually used on such a small chariot? Now our experts still don't understand the function of the many equipment on the car body? It's hard to imagine! Such a small thing could be so fast that it could even destroy our Type 95 and Type 97 vehicles by surprise, while the bastards in the base camp were still arguing about whether they should be equipped with Type 4 vehicles on a large scale? ”
