Chapter 307: The sinister Kenkichi Ueda

Although the Second Front Army on the side of Ryosuke Isoya bit the main force of the newly formed Fourth Division of the Youth Army in the middle [***], but also suffered a big loss from the opponent's hail rocket artillery, Zhanyang set out to reinforce the Chaoyang Fortress, after careful consideration, brought the Ninth Mobile Rocket Artillery Regiment with him, and as a result, the Ninth Mobile Rocket Artillery Regiment fired three salvos in 21 minutes at the most critical moment, and the rampant momentum of the Ninth Mobile Rocket Artillery Regiment was suddenly silent.

Even Isoya Ryosuke's front-line command was hit by two rockets, so that Isoya Ryosuke was extremely glad that he sent a ghost envoy to the front line to inspect, otherwise Isoya Ryosuke would have become the highest-ranking general killed in this battle, the battle situation on the front line was not smooth, and it also made Isoya Ryosuke very annoyed, the new youth army troops in the 10th theater attacked like a tiger tide, retreating and defending like a stubborn stone, the 10th Division commanded by Isoya Ryosuke, known as the Iron Will, bit on the stone! The loss of the front teeth is not calculated, and the internal injuries dare not be spoken!

In Xinjing, the puppet Manchukuo, the commander of the Kwantung Army, Ueda Kenkichi, who was a little restless, decided to personally arrive in Jinzhou to help the Kwantung Army headquarters that attacked Rehe, Suiyuan, and Chahar.

Ueda Kenkichi is not uneasy about his subordinates, in fact, Ueda Kenkichi has no confidence in himself, the most important thing is that his opponent Zhang Xuewu is not a guy who plays cards according to the rules, and in international diplomacy, the Chinese are obviously very different from the Americans and the British.

For example, in terms of new weapons, Britain, the United States and Europeans like to exaggerate their weapons surname, but they are kept secret in key core technologies, if I say that I hide my own secrets that are not secrets like Zhou Papi's money jar, then the ability of European and American countries to hide core technologies is simply outrageous, if Britain and the United States and other countries are for deterrence, then it may be related to their cultural traditions.

But the Chinese are completely different, the same Asian Yue himself and the Chinese are obviously two extreme models, that is, I have not yet shouted all over the world, and the Chinese are obviously there, but do everything possible to hide and deny that they have it? There are a hundred, but there are only a few? This kind of thinking makes Ueda Kenkichi feel extremely confused and entangled!

For example, Zhang Xuewu, during the Battle of Nanjing, the Kwantung Army once attacked four so-called fortress cities in Rehe, Chahar, and Suiyuan, and suffered heavy casualties, not only the flight division of the Kwantung Army was beaten so that the attack aircraft unit withdrew to Heilongjiang, and the bomber unit withdrew to North Korea, and the ground troops were devastated by the fierce artillery fire they had never seen before, and the Rehe Army at that time also had a mechanized division and three elite integrated divisions sitting in the center to wait for work. As a result, the four sorties did not dare to surround the fortress of the enemy army and attack the hinterland of Rehe.

Prior to this, the imperial side sent people to Germany many times to understand that the Rehe side roughly ordered about 100 150-mm field heavy howitzers, and large-caliber heavy howitzers were battle-level weapons and equipment, and even the empire only had less than five brigades of heavy artillery at that time, so everyone from the intelligence agencies to the general staff headquarters thought that it was just a bluff on the part of Rehe, after all, the dignified Nanjing Central Nationalist Axe had only ordered 24 pieces, and the 150mm field heavy howitzers worth 32 times the caliber of the German system were expensive, the shells are very expensive, so no one takes them seriously.

Later, in the Battle of Nanjing, the Imperial Army suffered a big loss of Chinese heavy artillery on the north bank of the river, only to realize that Zhang Wu might really have purchased no less than 50 heavy howitzers, at that time, because the empire got information that Zhang Xuewu sent two reinforced heavy artillery brigades to Nanjing, then Rehe was bound to be empty of troops and firepower, so he formulated a comprehensive battle plan to attack Rehe, and as a result, this plan hit the south wall headlong, and the empire from the base camp to the military headquarters, the staff headquarters, and the Kwantung Army were all bloodied.

What made Ueda Kenkichi most angry was that the attitude of the Germans, although the Germans and the Reich had now discussed the issue of concluding a treaty, but they did not say a word about the list of weapons and technical support that Germany had provided to Zhang Xuewu. Whose allies were the Germans?

God knows what Zhang Xuewu is hiding in Baotou? The weather has improved so that the air force of the 10th theater has been dispatched more and more frequently, which makes Ueda Kenkichi very worried, the Kwantung Army still has three brigades of 97 heavy bombs stationed in Korea, this is the only trump card in his hand, originally prepared to cooperate with Tojo to attack Baotou when the strategic force was used.

However, with the change of weather, when the temperature rises further and the air force in the 10th Theater of Operations has fully recovered its full strength, then it may be a disaster waiting for him, and whether his 97 heavy explosion can break through the air defense interception of Rehe is probably a problem.

Ueda Kenkichi looked at the progress of the various units marked on the map, and the main forces of the Second Division, the Eighth Division, and the Twelfth Division under the command of the First Front Army under the command of the Zhou Libing Army were still fighting hard in Chaoyang, and they found the new chariot of Zhang Xuewu's department in Chaoyang, with 47 mm combat defense guns and 90 mm mountain artillery, which could be said to be unscathed, blocking the only direction that could be broken through in the east of Chaoyang City? The 36th Division also reported that they were dismantling the Chifeng-Chaoyang railway, because in the direction of Chifeng, about a whole division of troops was coming to Chaoyang under the cover of an armored train, which was not good news for Ueda Kenkichi.

The main forces of the 10th, 22nd, and 35th Divisions under the jurisdiction of the Second Front Army of Ryosuke Isoya couldn't eat a division of the middle [***]? also let it successfully shrink its defense, the enemy's intention is obviously to hold on and wait for reinforcements, but Isoya Ryosuke is like a fox that has encountered a hedgehog, so anxious that he will turn around, one will be under enemy superior artillery fire, and the other will be bombed and strafed by the enemy? It's as if all the bad luck in the world has caught up with Ryosuke Isoya?

Five hours ago, the 6th Division, the 14th Division, the 35th Brigade and the 36th Brigade under the jurisdiction of the 3rd Front Army under the jurisdiction of Yamashita Fengwen began to attack the Zhangjiakou fortress with all their might, and the 38th Division and the 39th Division temporarily attached to their units feinted to attack Chengde and Chifeng respectively, and pinned down the [***] team in the 10th Theater on all fronts.

The strength of the seven divisions and other four brigades of the North China Front, together with the 6th and 7th brigades of the field heavy artillery, and the 11th and 12th wings of the Reading Combat Vehicle, were secretly assembled in the area centered on Zunhua.

If you want to turn the tide of the war, you have to rely on Tojo Hideki's mobile corps, in fact, Ueda Kenkichi and Tojo Hideki are the same type of people, that is, the people and thieves of the only husband, it can also be said that they are both very deep but narrow-minded, Ueda Kenkichi has one more breathtaking point, that is, dare to be ruthless, even at all costs to achieve the goal, this Tojo Hideki is obviously not as good as Ueda Kenkichi who is old enough to make a last fight.

Although Ueda Kenkichi announced the Kwantung Army's battle plan this time, and the base camp, the staff headquarters, and even the Imperial Council all approved it, no one knew that in fact, in Ueda Kenkichi's heart, there was another set of battle plans, and this set of battle plans was only clear to Ueda Kenkichi himself, except for a small number of troops stationed in Manchuria, the rest of the main forces of the Kwantung Army were all engaged in the operation of the 10th Theater of Operations.

But in the eyes of Kenkichi Ueda, isn't Hideki Tojo a victim? Or that only a large number of sacrifices can play a role in successful deception, in the eyes of Ueda Kenkichi Zhang Xuewu is an extremely good strategist and tactician, the so-called in order to deceive Zhang Xuewu, he must even deceive his own people, even the base camp, the staff headquarters and the imperial meeting to deceive, Ueda Kenkichi is afraid that this will not be able to achieve the goal, so he has been trying his best to cover up all the relevant information and whereabouts of the Tojo Corps, he wants Zhang Xuewu to regard Tojo Hideki as the lore of this attack!

In fact, Ueda Kenkichi's lore is the main force of the seven divisions and other four brigades of the North China Front commanded by Okamura Ninji, which is accompanied by the 6th and 7th brigades of the field heavy artillery, and the 11th and 12th wings of the Reading Tank, which is the real lore of Ueda Kenkichi, because at this moment, whether it is the 10th or the 5th theater of the Central [***], it is determined that the North China Front and Central China will work together to eliminate the main force of the 5th Chinese theater, and the Kwantung Army will eliminate the main force of the 10th theater. As well as many military observers in the world, they also believe that the Great Empire is playing a very dangerous game, although the Chinese [***] team lacks weapons and equipment and necessary training, but its base is still very large, especially the [***] team in the 10th theater has equipment and the quality of officers and soldiers comparable to that of European powers, if the North China Front Army and the Central China Front Army can inflict heavy losses on Li Zongren's troops in the Fifth Theater, this is a possible thing. But with the existing strength of the Kwantung Army, eat Zhang Xuewu's tenth theater in one bite? I'm afraid that it may not be a big surname, at most it will be a tragic battle of both sides.

In Ueda Kenkichi's view, as long as the troops of Zhang Xuewu's division in the 10th theater of war are mobilized, then he will be considered half of the victory, and once the Tojo Corps succeeds in attacking Baotou, then the angry Zhang Xuewu will definitely go all out to help and put the Tojo Corps to death.

At that time, no matter whether the Tojo Corps attack is successful or not, the main force of the 10th Theater will definitely rush to the aid of Baotou, so the heavy hammer that has been held in his hand can be smashed down.
