Chapter 941: Book the Battlefield
Looking at the Southeast Asian coercion army who were cowering in the fortifications like quails, Squadron Leader Kitahara Ying sighed helplessly. Although he had long known that the combat effectiveness of these Southeast Asian coerced troops would definitely not be successful, after really seeing these coerced troops, Bei Yuanying still felt a trace of despair.
Even those coerced troops of the Guangzhou National Defense Army, who can only collect taxes, are much stronger than these monkeys in Southeast Asia! Beiyuan Ying thought viciously, these monkeys are only worthy of being coolies!
Let them go into battle, and the only thing they can do is to add merit to the enemy. This is not only the idea of Bei Yuanying, in fact, it is also the idea of the commanders of the front-line positions of the entire Chinese dispatch army.
The combat effectiveness of these Southeast Asian troops is really rotten, and even if the Wehrmacht on the opposite side is shelled, they can scream and try to flee from their positions.
Although these people have experienced more than one battle, every time they encounter shelling, these people will subconsciously flee privately. This made the Japanese commanders very angry, but they were helpless.
The commanders of the Japanese army above the commander of the base wing knew what these Southeast Asian coercive troops were here for. To put it bluntly, they were for the Japanese army, and if they were slaughtered or stimulated too much, they might not be able to defect to the Wehrmacht right away.
Therefore, apart from being scolded, these Southeast Asian coerced soldiers did not encounter other harsh criticism. Even the food and rest are the same as those of the regular army, which is a great treatment.
You must know that even the coerced servants of the Wang Zhaoming government in Guangzhou do not have this treatment!
And speaking of Lao Wang, now he is very tragic. At the end of the Shanghai campaign, Wang Zhaoming seems to have been directly forgotten. They sent messages to the Wehrmacht, but did not receive any response.
At that time, Shunroku Hata also seemed to be aware of Wang Zhaoming's thoughts, and directly sent him to Japan in the name of "treatment and safety". Now Wang Zhaoming and his wife live like prisoners in Tokyo, and their lives are completely monitored in Japan.
The other senior officials of the former Guangzhou government also chose to flee in panic without receiving a response from the Wehrmacht. Obviously. The IDF was not prepared to admit them.
The only thing they can do now is to get away from it. The Japanese have their own considerations in this regard, and if they want to attack China in the future, these people will still be able to play a certain role.
Therefore, these "big people" were kept in captivity in Tokyo like Wang Zhaoming. They will also be enabled if they are useful. If the battle situation is unfavorable......
In Jianmen Port, Taizhou, a large crowd of people was constantly driven down from transport ships and warships like pigs. They speak a babbling language that is incomprehensible.
One by one, they were unkempt and gathered at the dock under the drive of the Japanese army. Then a new set of clothes was handed out to them. After that, groups of officer-like figures walked down from the warship.
Led by these men, these people who spoke the language of the babble walked out of the dock in a scattered queue. The newly built railway station was nearby, and these were taken directly on the train to the front.
There, they will receive a shipment of guns and ammunition. But not directly into battle. They just live with a group of troops from the same place as them.
The transport ships that had already been launched did not drive away directly, but they saw a group of orderly Japanese troops stepping out of the barracks. He then boarded the ship under the command of a Japanese officer.
During this period, the reconnaissance planes on the escort aircraft carrier kept taking off and patrolling any point of wind and grass in the surrounding area for hundreds of miles. After more than half an hour of organizing boarding, the ship finally sailed. Escorted by a warship, he slowly left the dock.
Such scenes continued to play out in the areas occupied by the Japanese army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and all the residents of the towns near the docks were emptied. The Japanese blockaded the entire area. Only troops are stationed in these areas.
"Shall we kill them, or shall we let them go?!" Su Zongzhe kept clicking on the table in his headquarters, and in front of him were the best staff officers of the entire Wehrmacht.
The intelligence and the current situation have all been distributed to them, and through the intelligence of the Nanyang Sub-Military Region, Su Zongzhe has already determined that the Japanese army has sent Southeast Asian coerced troops to fight in China.
And those former Japanese troops will definitely take the opportunity to evacuate. So a huge question arose before the Wehrmacht: whether to stop the Japanese or watch them withdraw.
If they are to be stopped, then the troops of the East China and North China Military Regions, which are now in Shanghai, must be mobilized. Marched from Shanghai to Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Tear through the Japanese defenses and knock out their docks.
But if you fight like this, the losses will undoubtedly be enormous. First of all, the Japanese evacuation operation directly used the combined fleet of the entire Japanese Navy, and the commander of the operation was the famous general of the Japanese Navy who attacked Pearl Harbor -- Yama 56.
Although the Japanese Navy lost two aircraft carriers and four battleships. But this was far from the point where it broke the Japanese navy. The reason why the attack was successful last time also has a lot to do with the fact that the Japanese navy underestimated the enemy.
And this loss caused Japan to directly call in its strongest admiral to carry out this retreat mission. The Japanese Navy now has 12 battleships and more than 20 aircraft carriers and light aircraft carriers.
Eighteen heavy patrols and 25 light patrols. And the destroyers reached a terrifying number of nearly a hundred! In order to evacuate smoothly, Shan Fifty-six drove almost all of these warships.
The huge firepower of these warships. It is to ensure that they can provide strong fire support to the ground forces. The fighters on those aircraft carriers will also cause great damage to the Wehrmacht.
If the choice was to cut off the Japanese retreat, the Wehrmacht would likely face extremely difficult battles. After rigorous tactical deduction, the staff officers of the General Staff Department came to the conclusion that the three major military regions of North China, East China, and South China suffered at least 50 percent of the battle losses, and could not completely annihilate these Japanese troops.
The conclusion of the air force was that only by doing a good job of losing more than 500 fighters in battle could it be sure that it would be able to withstand the Japanese attack. The aircraft carrier dispatched by the Japanese army this time was at least capable of carrying more than 50 aircraft. The highest is capable of carrying nearly 100 aircraft.
All things considered, there are more than 1,000 fighters that the Japanese army was able to use in its capacity this time. The complete industrial chain was the basis for the Japanese army to continue to fight with the Wehrmacht.
After getting the resources of Southeast Asia, the Japanese industrial chain began to explode. One new fighter after another was built. and sent them to the troops.
The Navy was allocated more resources because of the excellent performance of the Fifty-Six in the attack on Pearl Harbor. Some of these resources were converted into warships, and some of them were converted into warplanes.
"Difficult!" A staff officer sighed and said to Su Zongzhe: "Chief of staff, if we fight hard, we will suffer great losses." It is impossible for at least three corps and the air force to restore their combat effectiveness within half a year. ”
That being said, but to watch the Japanese withdraw from under their noses like this, no one in this room is willing.
You come to my house to kill people and set fires, pat your ass and want to leave?! Where is there such a cheap thing?! If you eat Lao Tzu, you have to spit it out for Lao Tzu! Took Lao Tzu's. I have to give it back to Lao Tzu!
Those who kill people and set fires, don't think that you can live in peace. Without their blood to pay tribute to those compatriots who died in battle, none of these Wehrmacht veterans would feel that they were living a happy life.
"Fight, big losses. Release, unwilling to ......" a staff officer sighed and said what was in everyone's hearts. Here are veterans of the General Staff of the Wehrmacht. There is no one here who has been gradually promoted without experiencing actual combat.
For their own combat effectiveness and understanding of the Japanese army, there is no one in the Wehrmacht who can compare with them. This tactical exercise has been carried out countless times, and even the most optimistic estimate is that the three major military regions of the Wehrmacht will have to lose more than 30 percent of their strength before they can be able to wipe out most of the Japanese army.
The Japanese were able to evacuate most of their troops from China with their powerful navy and the large number of transport ships. It's even likely that they're doing it now.
Until now, the industrial capacity of the Wehrmacht has not been comparable to that of Japan, which has developed, prepared for war, and experienced several wars. With the effective support of resources, Japan can produce nearly 2,000 fighters and more than 100 artillery pieces every month.
With the effective support of Southeast Asian resources, Japan is constantly expanding its production capacity. For example, medium tanks. Now it has been issued a requirement that the annual output must reach more than 500 vehicles.
Years of warfare have consumed part of the Japanese troops. In order to maintain the war, Japan had to choose to continue conscription. At this time, the population of Japan and Turkey was 73.14 million, and most of the Japanese women had to choose to work in order to increase their production capacity.
Although there are now as many as 10 million women working every day. But only more than 2 million are involved in the manufacture of the military industry. However, this number is constantly increasing, and the agricultural and forestry resources in Southeast Asia have greatly liberated the labor pressure of the Japanese soil. Women who were originally engaged in agriculture and forestry began to gradually transform into military industrial production.
The abandonment of Southeast Asia by the United States and Europe, as well as the support of Southeast Asia, has resulted in the acquisition of more resources than ever before, and these resources are being continuously transfused to Japan through transport ships.
And the Wehrmacht, on the other hand. On the one hand, there is a shortage of skilled workers. Secondly, a large number of resources are too widely distributed, and many of them need to be transported to reach the factory. Effectiveness and performance are not keeping up. The loss is relatively large...... and so on, as a result, the current production capacity of the Wehrmacht is much lower than that of Japan.
In the language of the game, the daily blood return is fast, and the Wehrmacht blood recovery is slow. However, the Wehrmacht is bloody, and Japan can only take advantage of special terrain.
"The Commander-in-Chief has arrived! Salute!! Suddenly, there was a shout from outside the door. Everyone was stunned for a moment, and when they heard the voice, they knew that it was their own commander-in-chief who came.
Everyone hurriedly stood up to welcome the arrival of Tu Mengben, the commander-in-chief of the Wehrmacht.
"Hahaha...... Still worried about those people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang?! As soon as they entered, everyone gave a military salute to Tu Mengben. Tu Mengben smiled and asked these staff officers to sit down, and then sat on the main seat himself.
"Commander......," a staff officer said, "We have gone through many deductions, and the best result is that the three major military regions have lost 30 percent of their troops, and the loss of at least 300 fighters of the air force can withstand the counterattack of the Japanese." ”
"If we continue to fight, we will undoubtedly lose a lot. And there is no way to resume fighting for a long time. If you don't fight, we people are not reconciled! ”
Tu Mengben looked at these bloody staff officers and smiled, and said, "Are you thinking this alone, or do you think so everyone?!" ”
The staff officers were stunned, looking at each other and wondering what their commander-in-chief was trying to express. And looking at their performance, Tu Mengben couldn't help but sigh.
"It's better to complain than to break your bowels. The scenery should be long-term, and the amount should be seen! You are still looking at things with old eyes. How does this work?! Tu Mengben lit the table and said to these staff officers.
Chen Ran said in his "Proposal for the Second Relocation of the Capital and the Establishment of a Domain": Those who do not seek eternity since ancient times are not enough to seek a moment; Those who do not seek the overall situation are not enough to seek a domain. Could it be that as a staff officer of the National Defense Forces, you can't even compare to the vision of an old man in the late Qing Dynasty?! ”
As soon as Tu Mengben's words came out, Su Zongzhen muttered in his heart. Chen is not a simple character. People can write at the age of 9, and they have been smart since childhood. Later, he took the test for Tongcheng, among thousands of people. He can overwhelm the crowd. Subsequently, in the nineteenth year of Guangxu, he was admitted to Enke in one fell swoop.
"Our battle with those sons is not a city or a place. It's not a moment! Tu Mengben said, his face became serious.
"Indeed, we can pay a certain price for most of these hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops to stay. But is the price worth it?! Tu Mengben's words made the staff officers fall into thought.
They also have a vague sense that the price is not well worth it. Indeed, a large number of Japanese soldiers were killed and wounded. But own losses. and the damage caused by fighting on national soil and the post-war reconstruction, which is something that the entire coalition government and the Wehrmacht need to consider!
For example, the recent Battle of Shanghai. A furious attack on Shanghai was launched, but the whole of Shanghai was also destroyed. Once the financial center of China and the financial center of the whole of Asia, Shanghai, known as the Paris of the East, is now only left with broken walls.
The new mayor who was sent to Shanghai wanted to cry without tears, and he could just work in an office building with holes and leaks and dampness. But he didn't have a penny in his hand. Now the coalition government is mainly concerned with the military industry and agriculture. It is impossible for Gen to have a large amount of money for the reconstruction of Shanghai.
And the most important job of the poor mayor now is to take the citizens to clean up the rubble, and sell all kinds of shrapnel and warheads found in the rubble to the coalition government in exchange for funds for the reconstruction of the city.
The troops of the two major military regions of East China and North China are not allowed to do so. They were also forced to participate in this clean-up activity. This battle was a painful one, but it was really painful to clean up after the fight.
If it weren't for the coalition government's preparations, a large number of military tents were removed, and many citizens whose homes were bombed into ruins had to shiver in the cold wind.
And a good Oriental Paris, Leng is in ruins. It was a pleasure to kill and wound more than 300,000 Japanese soldiers. But reconstruction, however, becomes extremely painful.
"To annihilate these scumbags, we have a chance!" Tu Mengben looked directly at these staff officers and said, "But it's not cost-effective to fight like this on our territory." ”
"There was no way before. These gangsters are planning to come or not leave. So we're going to fight to the death. But now that they're leaving, why do we have to fight on our own soil?! To fight. It's also going out to fight, and we won't lose if it's broken or scrapped, right?! ”
If the staff officers have not reacted to this, they do not deserve to be called the elite of the Wehrmacht staff. The words of the commander-in-chief made them suddenly realize.
It's not that we don't fight, but we have to take into account our own losses after the fight. The current strategic purpose of the domestic war is to completely drive the Japanese out of the country.
Now that they are leaving, why do they have to work hard and fight with them with big losses?! It's a pleasure, but after the fight, you still have to spend money and time to rebuild, don't you?!
The battlefield is not limited to China. Now the Wehrmacht has already sown the seeds in Southeast Asia, and has also reached a consensus from Europe and the United States. To put it simply, now the Wehrmacht should set its sights on Southeast Asia.
It was the battlefield of the decisive battle against the Japanese army. In any case, Southeast Asia is not domestic, and even if the steel storm sweeps away the Wehrmacht, there is no need to care about the reconstruction work.
"Besides, the Japanese people are kind enough to send us so many coolies. Wouldn't it be in vain to not accept it?! Tu Mengben laughed and looked at these staff officers.
"We have a lot of infrastructure to build! Think about it, Tibet, Xinjiang, Mongolia...... Wait for these areas, our railways are not yet connected, which is extremely unfavorable for us to transport supplies......"
Having said that, it is enough. Obviously, these low-fighting Southeast Asian coercive forces have been booked by the National Defense Forces as engineering laborers.
Whether it's Tibet, Xinjiang, or even Mongolia. To build a large number of railways, a large number of people are undoubtedly needed. If it is his own compatriots, no one is willing to rush to death.
But these prisoners of war...... Hehehe.
The railway network that runs through the United States was built with the blood and tears of Chinese workers. Now, the Wehrmacht and the coalition government have decided to use the blood and sweat of these Southeast Asian and Japanese prisoners of war to compensate for the damage caused by their aggression.
"Do you understand now?!" Looking at the expressions of these staff officers, Tu Mengben knew that they had understood their thoughts. But I still subconsciously asked.
"Got it!" The staff officers replied loudly.
"Good! American engineers have arrived, and I have specially transferred technicians from the factory to carry out the repair and production planning of the aircraft carrier. Tu Mengben said directly to these staff officers: "And your task is to perfect our offensive plan for Southeast Asia as soon as possible!" That's where we fight these guys! ”
ps: Today's full moon wine, take the baby to do a physical examination + vaccination in the morning. Then the banquet was poured with a meal...... More than a pound of liquor!! I have to go to the shop at night...... It's a really sad day...... Fortunately, I finally got through it...... A certain family now has a belch that smells of liquor......
