Chapter 939: Controversy (2)

"I am extremely good-looking, and I will take revenge, we have hit their two main divisions in Taierzhuang, Luxi, and Guide, and they must be looking for something to make up for it, so they will not negotiate with us, even if they negotiate, it will confuse us, and secretly prepare forces to prepare for war with us, which requires us to be vigilant.

"Negotiations, is this possible?"

"Everything is possible, if the Japanese government releases a trace of hypocrisy now, Uncle Li, Chief Xue, do you think the old man will be moved?"

"This ......"

"I'm also worried about this, especially the Nanjing Massacre Film Festival in Hankou, which you are organizing, is even more powerful than the elimination of a division of the Japanese army, and it will form a strong pressure of public opinion in the international community, and the governments of Europe, the United States and Western countries will exert pressure on the Japanese government even for the sake of morality, and if the Japanese and this government adjusts its strategy toward China at this time, this is very likely."

Xue Boling nodded seriously, Li Delin's analysis was reasonable.

Leng Feng also admitted that all kinds of evidence of the Nanjing Massacre in history were either destroyed or lost in history, and although there was a lot of evidence for later generations, the murderer no longer admitted it when it was taken out after several decades.

Even in the post-war trials, they did not mention a word about the events in their history textbooks, or even denied their existence.

But now it's different, when Leng Feng was in Nanjing, he collected these detailed evidence, as well as the 200,000 people who escaped from the Nanjing International Security Zone, they all witnessed the tragedy in the world.

This time, they can't deny it even if they want to.

The ironclad evidence, the bloody facts, the Japanese government and the Japanese army want to deny it, it is simply fooling the people of the whole world on the spot.

Perhaps Western governments will adopt a policy of appeasement for their own interests, but as long as the people of the world know what the Japanese army has done in Nanjing, his reputation in the world will be notorious at that time.

This invisible loss will cause Hichimoto to taste great bitter fruits.

Even if the Japanese government can't give up its strategy of all-out invasion of China, I'm afraid it will have to put in place a few substitutes to calm the anger of the people.

In fact, this concern is absolutely justified, and news has reached Japan after the Nanjing Massacre Film Festival in Hankou was widely reported by the world's news media.

Although the Japanese people have not yet received relevant news because of press restrictions, they cannot hide this kind of thing if they want to, and there were many relevant reports in the newspapers during the attack on Nanjing.

The executioners who killed people at that time, who were regarded as heroes by the Japanese press, are now suddenly recognized as cruel executioners.

On the one hand, it is necessary to spread such news as an internal blockade and try to beautify the justice of the Japanese invasion, and on the other hand, it is also necessary to eliminate the international influence.

However, the question of whether to admit the "Nanjing Massacre" has created a major disagreement between the cabinet and the military department, and Prime Minister Fumima Konoe believes that admitting the soldiers is too indulgent, and military discipline has been corrupted, so that some people have violated military discipline to kill. The occurrence of massacres, to put it bluntly, is a limited recognition of the existence of massacres.

The army headquarters led by Sakagaki and Tojo firmly disagreed with the "massacre" because it would have a serious impact on the morale of the troops on the front line, and would make them confused about the resistance in future battles.

This also greatly damaged the image of Japan and its own country in the international community, and it was not a matter of all countries that had massacres in the war, not just Japan.

Sakagaki and Tojo's theory was that there was no such thing as massacre, and that the soldiers of the Empire of Japan killed Chinese soldiers who tried to resist.

These were soldiers dressed in civilian clothes and killed in the conquest of the Empire of Japan, just as they were on the battlefield.

Such killing. Killing, how can it be a massacre, it is completely a battle between the two armies, as for the accidental killing of some civilians, this is also normal, and there are civilians injured by mistake in any war.

The accusations made by the Chinese side and the reports of the Western world are completely slanderous and one-sided, and they cannot be trusted, cannot be believed, and must never be admitted.

Although this is self-deception, it caters to the mentality of many people in China, and no criminal will easily admit that he has committed a crime.

Because there is a price to be paid for sin.

Sakagaki and Tojo's hard-line attitude won the support of the majority of the young Zhuang faction in the army, and formed a powerful force, including in Central China, the vast majority of the generals in the two major dispatch armies in North China clearly supported the hard-line attitude of Sakagaki Seishiro, the new land minister.

However, Emperor Hirohito's attitude is somewhat unclear, and the navy seems to be silent this time, and silence means a kind of support, at least this time the navy will not sing the opposite tone of the army.

In fact, the work of inducing Lao Jiang has not stopped, but now it is not public, and he has not stopped contact with him in private.

This is not a secret, this is between two countries, it is impossible to completely close the channel of this kind of contact, there is no official, there will be non-governmental.

Moreover, China and Japan have not officially declared war until now.

"Guoguang, in your judgment, when will the Japanese army attack Wuhan?"

"Chief Xue's question is a bit big, and I'm not a Japanese soldier, so I can't guess what they think." Leng Feng smiled.

"Tell me your intuition."

"Intuition?" Leng Feng smiled bitterly, "If you want to be intuitive, it is possible from mid-July to mid-August, but if I choose, it is best to wait until early September." ”

"Why?"

"July and August are the hottest seasons of the year, with abundant rain, often accompanied by strong winds and thunderstorms, which is a lot of disadvantages for marching and fighting, but for defense, it is relatively easy, and if you choose to attack at this time, it is still advantageous for defense."

"Makes sense."

"From a geographical point of view, the western Anhui region is backed by the Dabie Mountain, and the Japanese mechanized troops are bound to be difficult to deploy, so the focus of the Japanese attack must be on the south of the Yangtze River, and the hilly terrain in the south is complex, once the Japanese army attacks, it must be along the waterway or highway to advance, but in this way, the large corps is difficult to deploy, and I judge that the Japanese army may use the tactics of rapid and deep penetration......"

"Multi-front attack, echoing each other, but also can maintain a certain degree of independence, to avoid using the old troops, when necessary, you can jump out, at any time to reinforce your own troops, and attack the enemy's flank, if the Japanese army really uses the tactics of Kuniguang, in the case of timely replenishment of materials and ammunition, our army will be difficult to resist."

In fact, the commander of the attack on Wuhan, Gangcun Ningji, was deployed in this way.

"If the Japanese commanders fought steadily, it would be really difficult for us to deal with them, but after these battles, the front-line commanders of the Japanese army had an obvious problem."

"Greedy for merit, impatient and rash."

"That's right, as long as one of the commanders has this idea, it will bring unpredictable consequences to the entire offensive plan, it depends on the commander's ability to control, if this is a very strong commander, then it will be very difficult for us, because he will adjust the steps of the attack at any time, and even immediately correct the impatient subordinates, in this way, it will be difficult for us to catch the opponent's flaws, and we can only fight a positional war and a war of attrition with him."

"If the Japanese army is commanded by you Leng Guoguang, I think this battle will definitely be very difficult to fight." Xue Boling smiled.

"However, fighting like this, it must consume a lot of money, and those generals in the Japanese base camp don't want to see their invincible imperial army advancing slowly like an old cow, and the longer the battle line is stretched, the more consumption will be fought, and the more troops will be needed, I think, even if the Japanese army attacks Wuhan, its central idea is still to fight quickly." Leng Feng smiled and said, "As long as they are anxious, we can take advantage of the loopholes." ”

Li Delin and Xue Boling nodded together.

"If the Japanese army comes over, although it wants to occupy Wuhan in one fell swoop, its real strategic purpose is to force us to surrender by occupying Wuhan, crushing our resistance and forcing us to surrender, and then turning the great China into a vassal state of Japan, so that all of us will become slaves of the country, so this war will either not be fought, and once it starts, it will definitely be the most dangerous and sinister battle since the War of Resistance Against Japan." Leng Feng said solemnly, "It can be said that it is not too much to decide China's future fate. ”

"We can't afford to lose this battle, and if we lose, what can we do to resist the aggression of Japan and Ben?" Li Delin let out a long breath and said.

Leng Feng was silent, he could say that the Battle of Wuhan, even in the current situation, the national army may not be able to win, the Japanese army's naval and air superiority is too strong.

This was not the era of the past when ground forces were dominant, and the warships of the Japanese navy could sail directly into the Yangtze River and the freshwater lakes on the Yangtze River, and as long as the Japanese occupied a forward position, their supplies could be continuously transported through the warships.

There are many rivers along the Yangtze River, which provide great convenience for the transportation of the Japanese army, and if it is transported by land, it may not be so smooth.

Moreover, the air power is even more incomparable, the gap is too great, and after several rounds of air battles, the fighters of the national army have suffered heavy losses, and the level of the fighters is not as good as that of others, but now they cannot be replenished, and air supremacy is completely in the hands of others.

The most important thing is the will and determination to fight, especially whether the top level of the state government has the determination to stick to Greater Wuhan, if not, just by arranging a few defensive fronts and shouting a few slogans, I am afraid that it will still fail in the end.

Even if the Japanese army hastily launched the Battle of Wuhan now, Leng Feng is not optimistic about the outcome of the Battle of Wuhan, and I am afraid that it may be worse than the situation in history.

Leng Feng really wanted to compete with the Japanese army in Wuhan, but the problem was that his troops were exhausted to the extreme, and they had to rest before they could fight again.

If the Japanese can wait for him for three months, maybe he will be able to lead his troops south, but the question is, will the Japanese himself give him a chance?

He is now the number one enemy of the Japanese army, and if the Japanese army launches the Battle of Wuhan, it will definitely not forget him, and I am afraid that when the time comes, the flames of war will be burned to northern Henan.

In this way, the Japanese army may devote more troops to the Chinese battlefield, and the scale of the war may be much larger than the historical Battle of Wuhan.
