Chapter 520 Napalm

Just when Umezu Mijiro was in a panic, the field hospital finally came with exciting news, after a long period of fainting, Okamura Ninji finally woke up, although Okamura Ninji's body is still very weak, and now the most needed is bed rest, but Umezu Mijiro can no longer take care of this, and immediately drove to the field hospital.

In the intensive care ward, Umezu Mijiro finally met Okamura Ninji with a dejected look like a dead man.

"Mei Jinjun, isn't the attack on Jinzhou Bay not going well?" Okamura asked weakly.

"Well, it's not going well, it's just terrible." Umezu Mijiro sighed, "The No. 1 and No. 2 battle plans formulated by the General Staff have all suffered the failure of the decision, and if we don't decisively change our tactics, I think the Kwantung Army will definitely lose this battle, and the empire will also lose the entire war." ”

"Umezu-kun, this is also to be expected." Okamura Ninji waved his hand weakly, and said with a gloomy expression, "I was originally very unoptimistic about the No. 1 and No. 2 combat plans formulated by the General Staff, but I couldn't find a better plan for the time being, so I reluctantly adopted these two sets of combat plans. ”

Umezu Mijiro was stunned and said, "Okamura-kun, you weren't optimistic about the first and second plans?" ”

"Yes." Okamura Ninji nodded weakly, and then said, "Although our Kwantung Army aviation can effectively contain the Chinese Air Force, and my heavy artillery cluster and armored group also have an overwhelming advantage over the landing squadron, how can Yue Weihan not see this?" Since the squadron dares to fight a head-on battle with our Kwantung Army in Jinzhou Bay, it must be fully prepared, although I don't know what the squadron's hole cards are, but I think it must be extremely powerful. ”

"The hole cards of the ** team are indeed very powerful." Umezu Mijiro nodded heavily, "The most troublesome thing is the cooperation between the army, navy and air force of the squadron, judging from the combat situation during the day and night yesterday, if our Kwantung Army assembles slightly in the forward position, it will immediately attract the carpet bombing of the opponent's rocket artillery group and heavy artillery group, and the dispatch of armored troops will immediately attract the counterattack of the opponent's armed helicopters, and this battle cannot be fought at all!" ”

"Really?" Okamura Ninji's face suddenly became more and more defeated, and he sighed, "It seems that the squadron has made a breakthrough in tactical tactics, so the cooperation between their army, navy and air force will be so tacit, and the reaction will be so agile, Umezu-kun, frankly speaking, the empire's chances of winning this war are extremely slim." ”

Umezu Mijiro's face suddenly turned cold, and he said in a deep voice, "Okamura-kun, what do you mean by this?" ”

Okamura Ninji sighed again: "Umezu-kun, if I were the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, I would not hesitate to order surrender when I arrived at this level, but the premise is that China must let all the two million Kwantung Army soldiers return to Japan safely after the armistice, and they must not be left in trouble for any reason or in any way." ”

After saying this, Okamura Ninji said lonely again: "However, now you are the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, so the final decision is still up to you, if you decide to surrender, I can sign the surrender document on your behalf, if you decide to continue fighting, then I have two sets of tactics here that are not tactics, or you can try it." ”

Umezu Mijiro stared at Okamura Ninji deadly, and the look on his face changed again and again.

For a long time, Japan's political map has been made up of two forces, one is the young Zhuang military officer and the other is the conservative politician.

Umezu Yoshijiro and Okamura Ninji were once the core figures of the Young Zhuang faction, but now they are making the transition to conservative politicians, and at their level, the so-called loyalty or sacrifice for His Majesty the Emperor is no longer a joke, and they have their own political demands and independent political views.

Therefore, Okamura Ninji put forward the proposal of surrender, because in his opinion, it is impossible to gain any benefits from continuing this so-called Great East Asian Holy War except to maintain the pitiful face of Japan and the Japanese imperial family, and the entire Japanese nation will pay a heavy price for it.

Okamura believed that defeat was inevitable, and surrender was the only way out.

For the sake of the so-called national system of the Japanese state, for the sake of the so-called face of the Japanese imperial family, but to let the entire Japanese nation and tens of millions of Japanese people burn to the ground, it is undoubtedly extremely inhumane and absolutely inconsistent with the flow of history.

However, as the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, it was difficult for Umezu Mijiro to make such a decision.

Once Umezu Yoshijiro ordered the surrender, regardless of the reaction of all the officers and soldiers of Japan and the Kwantung Army, the history books of Japan alone could nail him to the pillar of shame of a coward.

After a long time, Umezu Mijiro said in a deep voice: "Okamura-kun, let's talk about your tactics." ”

Okamura Ninji sighed silently in his heart, he knew that Umezu Mijiro would not choose to surrender, but after all, this was related to the precious lives of more than two million Kwantung Army soldiers! Umezu Mijiro's decision would probably mean that the more than 2 million Kwantung officers and soldiers in Manchuria would never return to their homeland alive.

This is more than two million strong men, and if you lose the last two million strong men, it is likely that there will be serious problems in the continuation of the bloodline of the entire Japanese nation, because at this time in Japan, in addition to the NV people, there are only the old people and underage children, with the immature shoulders of those boys, can they bear the historical burden of national rejuvenation?

However, now that Umezu Mijiro has made a decision, Okamura Ninji is also relieved.

At that moment, Okamura Ningji said weakly: "If you want to destroy the anti-tank trench of the squadron, I have two sets of tactics here, one is to mobilize a high-power water pump to inject water into the anti-tank trench, and now it is the mid-winter season when the water drips into ice, as long as the anti-tank trench can be cut into a section of cofferdam, it is absolutely not a problem to accumulate water into ice and then provide it for combat vehicles to pass." ”

"Then there is the blasting, secretly digging a tunnel to the bottom of the anti-tank trench, burying the bombing yào to carry out blasting, first blowing up a big gap in the anti-tank trench, and then crushing a passable passage with an armored cluster, as long as the armored cluster of our Kwantung Army can break through the deep position of the squadron, there is still a chance to win this battle."

"Yo Si." Umezu Mijiro's eyes lit up when he heard this, and these two sets of tactics seemed to work.

In fact, these two sets of tactics are the usual tactics used to deal with city walls and trenches in the era of cold weapon warfare, and they are used coldly and have excellent results, but if they are used as conventional tactics, they are easy to be cracked by the enemy, so Okamura Ninji said that this is not even a tactic, but Umezu Mijiro and the operational staff officers of the Kwantung Army fell into the mindset of mechanized warfare, and instead forgot many tactical tactics in the cold weapon era.

In the war of liberation in history, this absurd phenomenon also occurred.

The four million ** who are fully equipped with American weapons and equipment, and the commanders of dozens of Jīng Rui Corps, all of them are obsessed with mechanized integrated operations, and all of them are keen on infantry and artillery coordination and land and air coordinated operations, but what is the result? As a result, it was ended by less than one million communist troops and the tactical tactics of the era of many cold weapons, and the great rivers and mountains have since been handed over.

Without further ado, let's get back to business, and after Umezu Mijiro got countermeasures from Okamura Ninji, he immediately drove back to the South Manchurian Headquarters, urgently deployed engineers to secretly dig tunnels, and urgently transferred dozens of high-power water pumps from Mukden and Xinjing, and at the same time ordered the puppet Manchurian ** to launch a decisive attack to cut off the anti-tank trenches and build cofferdams.

…………

For the next three days, the Kwantung Army threw hundreds of thousands of infantry into a strong attack from different directions.

However, the armored units of the Kwantung Army did not participate in the battle again, and even though the number of casualties of the Kwantung Army had exceeded 100,000, it still did not send even a wing of tanks to cover, and it seemed that the General Headquarters of the Kwantung Army had made up its mind to fill the anti-tank trench built by the squadron with the blood of the Kwantung officers and soldiers.

Mr. Li keenly sniffed out the abnormality, and immediately went to the forward observation post regardless of his personal safety.

Looking forward through the artillery mirror, I saw that the anti-tank trench in front of me had been filled with the corpses of the devil soldiers, and tens of thousands of corpses were piled up on top of each other, and the corpses were used to fill a smooth road in the anti-tank trench, and the infantry could definitely pass through, but it was impossible for the tank to pass.

Mr. Li adjusted his perspective again, and found a bloody road with corpses about 500 meters away from the left and right.

Suddenly, Mr. Li's thick eyebrows tightened, and he faintly felt a trace of unease, but he didn't know what the Japanese army had in mind? Okamura Ninji and Umezu Mijiro are not fools, it is impossible to really use the bones of the Kwantung Army to pile up a few smooth roads from the anti-tank trenches, so what is the purpose of the little devils?

When Mr. Li was puzzled, the guard had already walked in with his hands in hand, muttering as he walked: "Commander, it's really cold outside the gate, it's much colder than our hometown, and the bubble niào is frozen into ice in a blink of an eye, no wonder they joked that there was a brother who froze that words when he was on duty at night, hehe." ”

"Sprinkle niào into ice?" Mr. Li's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately shouted, "Yes, it must be so!" ”

"Commander, what's wrong with you?" The guard was at a loss when he heard this, and wondered if the commander's words were also frozen when he sprinkled niào?

Mr. Li ignored the guards anymore, turned to the chief of staff beside him and said, "Chief of Staff, immediately call the headquarters and request that a batch of napalm be urgently provided, the more the better!" ”
