Chapter 1007: Annihilation (II)
Now that the campaign is underway, all that's left is to wrap it up. The Japanese army retreated and broke through on a large scale, so how many people can stay depends on the affairs of the Wehrmacht.
"Don't rush to take the city first, grab as many prisoners as you can. Now there is still a lot of hard work to build roads in Yunnan Province, so don't waste these people. This is Tu Sancang's order, of course, followed by another sentence: "If you can't catch it, forget it, their lives are not worth anything." Let's save our brothers' lives first. The second is to arrest people. ”
Under these words, countless Japanese soldiers were directly not killed on the position. Only tens of thousands of people survived, and after being captured, their guns, ammunition, and belts were confiscated, and then escorted to the province of Yunnan to be handed over to Long Yun for disposal.
"In this campaign, there are three remaining divisions of our Burmese Front Army, but the establishment is no longer complete. Four wings are missing. The remaining division of the 25th Army in the Philippines was garrisoned, and the commander of the army, General Mayaharu, together with the rest of the divisions, was ......"
"The Muzhou troops lost one and a half divisions, and the 14th Front Army suffered the least losses under General Yamashita Feng. Only about one division was lost. The foundation of the formation is complete, and a small number of wings are missing ......"
“…… All 12 formed divisions of the Annam National Army were routed, and four divisions were killed. The rest of the captured ......"
One by one, statistical reports were sent to Sugiyama Moto's hands, and Sugiyama almost fainted when he looked at these shocking statistics. In the past, he was in Japan and did not fight the Wehrmacht head-on.
It was Egen who had never confronted the fighting power of the Wehrmacht. But now that he is in Southeast Asia, when he directly faces the Wehrmacht, he will have the same powerlessness as Shouichi Terauchi and them.
At least...... I didn't wipe it all out! Sugiyama Moto's comfort in this way was that his troops managed to retain two-thirds of their troops. Now regrouping in new positions, for the time being, there is no danger of a strong attack by the Wehrmacht.
At present, the Wehrmacht is also exterminating the Japanese troops who have retreated from their positions, and at the same time, it is also necessary to clear out the scattered Annam National Army units and Japanese garrisons.
When they were done with these things, Sugiyama Moto's new position was also set up. Motone Sugiyama is not worried about being attacked by the Wehrmacht now. If they attack now, then Sugiyama will definitely use the navy to transport troops to the rear of the Wehrmacht for a landing cut-off operation.
At present, the Wehrmacht does not fully control the occupied territory, and if it rashly launches a strong attack on the Japanese army, it is very likely to fall into the danger of annihilation once it is delayed.
Pao Ye is not stupid. Naturally, it doesn't do that.
"How about the losses on the air side......" Sugiyama Moto, rubbing his eyebrows, asked the Chief of the General Staff, Shimizu Rules. And Qing Shui couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this.
"Our Army Air Force has lost more than 300 aircraft, 200 of which are new. And the losses on the part of the Navy were not small, at least a hundred fighters were shot down or damaged......"
"Of course! The Wehrmacht was also not comfortable, they lost at least two hundred more warplanes. And how many injuries are not easy to make statistics......"
Now it was replaced by Sugiyama Moto, who smiled bitterly. These fighters are the most advanced fighters of the Japanese army at present, but they still do not have an advantage in the competition with the Wehrmacht.
All right! At least it was much better than before when it was hit like a target, and it also caused the Wehrmacht to lose some of its fighters, didn't it?! In the past, the losses were even heavier, and even many times five Japanese fighters were needed to replace one Wehrmacht fighter. This has long been a large number of aces in the Wehrmacht Air Force.
"Qing Shui...... This campaign. We are a complete failure. For this, I may be rebuked by the big battalion. Sugiyama lowered his head and said to his chief of staff: "The command of the Southeast Asian theater in the future, please leave it to you!" I hope you can warn those who come after you not to make the mistakes I have made......"
Sugiyama Moto's words made Shimizu Gui couldn't help but be overshadowed. An army officer who came from the General Staff. He knew better than anyone what would happen to the generals of the Army if they were defeated.
Being sent to the reserves, that is already the best end. Qing Shui even knew that some defeated generals and marshals were deprived of all their treatment, and they couldn't even enter the reserves.
"Your Excellency Commander, please don't worry, after all, the General Staff will consider your merits......" Qing Shui Cheng bowed slightly, and said: "In this battle, I can use my personality to guarantee: non-war crimes are also ......"
Truly. The Japanese battalion is now arguing over Sugiyama Moto's defeat. The radicals and the Navy were angry about the defeat of Gen Sugiyama in Southeast Asia and the resulting large losses.
The Navy has just been equipped with a few hundred new fighters, and this is more than a hundred. How did you make them acceptable?! And those radical officers thought that Sugiyama had really humiliated the empire and the army this time.
He should be removed from his post and thrown into the reserve again and never come out again for the rest of his life.
Sugiyama Motohara was one of the leaders of the radical faction of the Japanese Army. There is no doubt that many radicals in the military department greatly admired the aggressive tone of his theory.
When Sugiyama set foot in the Southeast Asian theater of operations, they were full of hope that this marshal would bring victory to the empire. But the gap between reality and ideals is too great, and Sugiyama's stay in Southeast Asia is a fiasco.
When the dreams of idols are shattered, then those who once worshipped them wildly may become the vanguard of attacks against them. Imaginary characters can do anything. But reality shattered the ideal.
This contrast can drive people crazy. Now the radical officers are going crazy. They jumped up and down in the conference room of the big camp, demanding that the big camp must dispose of Sugiyama Moto.
"Red Okanoro!! Look at the way you look now, is there still a little bit of Teijin's solemnity?! Don't you feel ashamed that they are like horse monkeys?! ”
Xianyuan Gong Zairen pointed at them and scolded, these officers knew the identity of the commander-in-chief. I didn't dare to make a mistake at the moment, so I quickly apologized and then stood in a military posture and didn't dare to move.
Sugiyama Moto's fiasco made it very difficult for Kanin Gong Zairen. Hirohito called him to the palace and scolded him. If it weren't for the face of his chief of staff, Hirohito would have scolded people directly at the Imperial Council.
"Indeed, this time Marshal Sugiyama failed. But who dares to say that they can fight better than him?! Xianyuan Palace took a deep breath and said, "The previous fiasco of the empire in China, doesn't it still explain something?!" ”
"Marshal Sugiyama did fail this time, but he did not defeat directly. Instead, he did his best to preserve two-thirds of the elite of the Imperial Army's Southeast Asian theater. At the same time, at least 20,000 casualties were inflicted on the Wehrmacht. I just want to ask you, can you do it yourself?! ”
Everyone stopped squeaking. And I don't know when it started, the word "Zhina" in the mouth of the Xianyuan Palace is gone. In its place is "China".
Now the country on the other side of the sea is no longer the country where people are bullied. He is recovering, regaining his bearing as a great power. For thousands of years, whether you admit it or not, this country has always been the heart of Asia.
All Asianization is shaped by its influence. What a missed opportunity! Xianyuan Gong Zairen is lamenting. If you didn't take him for yourself while he was at his weakest. Then when he rises on his own, the glory of the sun will be overwhelmed by him.
Just like the former Han, the Tang Dynasty and even the Ming Dynasty. As long as the kingdom maintains his stability, he will remain one of the lords of the continent.
And the sun, it is difficult to look at its back......
"For now, I think Marshal Sugiyama is still the best candidate for commander in the Southeast Asian theater. There is no doubt about that. Xianyuan Gong Zairen paused and said, "Of course, his failure must also be punished. ”
"I have applied to the Emperor to make him the acting commander of the Southeast Asian theater of operations. If he fails again, I'll transfer him to the reserves. But the rank of marshal, I will always keep it for him. ”
In the case of Xianyuan Palace, Ji will be finalized. No one dared to argue anymore.
"Tell Sugiyama that we will step up production. His current task is to secure output in Southeast Asia. Kanin Palace instructed directly to his adjutant, "Fortunately, the most important area is not occupied by the Wehrmacht," told Sugiyama Moto. We can't afford to lose an inch of our occupation again! ”
"Hay!"
When the Japanese battalion was deciding how to dispose of Sugiyama Moto, the coalition government of the imperial capital also welcomed several special guests. The guests looked a little embarrassed, and their clothes were torn.
And the entourage was even more minor and severe. These retinues were all arranged to be treated in hospitals in the imperial capital, while they were in contact with several directors of the foreign affairs department of the coalition government.
"We are grateful to King Zahir for his precious friendship, but now we are at war with Japan. And King Zahir cooperated with the Japanese, so we had no way to be friends. Thank you for your understanding......"
Tao Yong, director of the Second Field Service Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the coalition government, smiled and said to the Arab man in front of him: "Of course! We won't hurt you, and we're not going to hand you over to anyone. We'll escort you to the border and give you a courtesy ......"
"No, no, no...... I think you're mistaken, Director Tao! The Arab man hurriedly waved his hand and said, "King Zahir and the Japanese are not allies, and we are not cooperating. It's just a deal between us. ”
The Arab man, named Asser, laughed, "We prefer to be friends with China, and our king is trading with the Japanese solely because the damned Soviets are trying to meddle in our internal affairs." And the Japanese are going to trouble them, so there will be a deal between us......"
Tao Yong smiled when he heard this, it seems that this Assel is indeed very familiar with sinicization! This kind of blind words can be made up so well......
