Chen Feng's life was not easy, but Terauchi Shouichi's life was even more sad, looking at the casualty report sent by Lieutenant General Okamibe Naosaburo, Terauchi Shouichi was quite sad. Although he prides himself on being a real soldier and does not feel sad about the casualties of his troops, when this casualty reaches an alarming level, even a high-ranking officer like him can't help but grieve, and Terauchi Shouichi knows very well that in this offensive and defensive battle, there are very few real in-service soldiers among the soldiers who have been killed and wounded.

The serious underestimation of the strength of the 61st Army directly led to the strategic defeat of the North China Front. Tactical defeats can still be reversed, but strategic failures are often difficult to reverse, so much so that now Terauchi Shouichi, a great lieutenant general of the Imperial Japanese Army, has become the eighth king in the encirclement of the 61st Army, which makes Terauchi Shouichi, who has always regarded himself very highly, acceptable.

"Gangbe-kun, have the people stopped attacking?" Hearing the sound of gunfire outside the city slowly calming down, Shouichi Terauchi asked with a sigh.

"Your Excellency, the battle in the morning is basically over, and the people of China have done this for the past few days, attacking on time at eight o'clock in the morning, having dinner at twelve o'clock, and ending the battle. The attack was punctual at two o'clock in the afternoon, and the attack was stopped at seven o'clock, which was very punctual. Lieutenant General Naosaburo Okabe reported.

"How many troops do we have?"

Lieutenant General Naosaburo Okabe was silent for a while and then said, "There are more than 18,600 people, and if necessary, 8,000 female soldiers can be recruited." ”

"There's no need, reinforcements will arrive tonight, and what can those women do. It is just an opportunity to create greater feats for the people of China. "Terauchi Shouyi said.

"Hay!"

"Are you ready to respond?"

"It's all ready, but the humble position is very skeptical about the combat effectiveness of this army of the Empire, and I guess Your Excellency the Commander of that unit has also heard of it." Lieutenant General Naosaburo Okabe said with a frown.

Hearing what Lieutenant General Naosaburo Okamibu said, General Terauchi Shouichi also frowned, and he did not know the bottom of his heart about the imperial army that was about to be sent to Beiping, although the base camp boasted vigorously about this unit in the telegram, saying that all the soldiers of this unit were composed of the most heroic soldiers and junior officers in the permanent divisions, and their combat effectiveness was extremely strong. However, General Terauchi Shouichi privately heard that the army was indeed composed of the most elite soldiers, but the combat effectiveness was not very strong.

"Gangbu-kun, we have no choice but to do so. The troops were ordered to be ready at any time for the landing paratroopers. As long as half of the paratroopers were assembled at the predetermined location, it would be impossible for the people of Danzhi to break through the city of Beiping. General Shouichi Terauchi said loudly.

"Hay!"

On Chinese New Year's Eve, the most interesting thing is to keep the New Year, swallowing the last dumpling in the bowl. Chen Feng gently placed the dishes and chopsticks on the table. Leaning back in a chair. Said with a smile: "Comfortable! It would be nice to be able to do this every day! ”

"Hehehe, there are still in the pot, do you want to eat a few more?" Yeherina said softly.

"No, no, no. I've already eaten four big sea bowls, I'm afraid I have three catties of dumplings, when did I have such a large amount of food? Chen Feng said depressedly.

This is true, this time is so busy that even Chen Feng didn't realize that he could eat so many things in one meal unconsciously. At today's dinner, he ate four bowls of dumplings alone, nibbled on a pork knuckle, and ate a lot of miscellaneous dishes, which was almost the amount of food for the four of others.

"It's a blessing to be able to eat, and besides, you're so tall, it's normal to be able to eat some." Yeherina said with a smile.

"Tall? Compared to Bobosha, that kid is probably more than 1.9 meters, right? ”

"Bobosha is 1.98 meters tall, and you are at least 1.88 meters tall." Yeherina said.

"It's not that high, is it? I remember that half a year ago I was only 1.83 meters, and besides, I am so big, I will grow taller. Chen Feng said with a smile.

"Really, I'm 1.76 meters, you are much taller than me, at least 1.83 meters." Yeherina said.

Chen Feng quietly opened the system to investigate, and was surprised to find that his height had reached one meter eight or nine, and the other attributes of his body were also amazing, all of them were superhuman, it seemed that the system's transformation of his body was really not ordinary.

Knowing that Dao is a ghost made by the system, Chen Feng will no longer be entangled with Yehelina on this issue. Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, except for ordinary soldiers to strengthen their vigilance, all officers can not rest, and every hour they have to check a shift to prevent a sneak attack by the Japanese army.

At eleven o'clock in the evening, Chen Feng had just returned from the inspection, and Ma Cao hurriedly ran in to report: "Junzao, it's not good, the little devil's reinforcements are here, and now they have arrived in Beiping." ”

"What, the little devil's reinforcements have arrived in Beiping, how is this possible, we haven't received any news for anything. Have you found out, how many Japanese soldiers have come, and what is the number? Chen Feng hurriedly asked.

"Junzao, the little devil jumped down from the sky, and the number of people was dense, I don't know how many there are. The troops outside Beiping City have already fried the pot, and they all say that the little devil knows the magic method, and he can actually fall from the sky, and there are even deserters in the garrison brigade. "The horse said.

"Falling from the sky? Paratrooper? Chen Feng said with a frown.

"Paratroopers? What kind of soldier is this? Ma Cao asked suspiciously.

"Are you sure they fell from the sky?" Chen Feng asked again.

"It was a telegram sent by Wang Hansheng himself, and there will be no mistake in giving it." Horse.

"Immediately send a report to the troops outside Beiping City, ordering them to immediately concentrate all the anti-aircraft machine guns, shoot at the place where there is a rumbling sound in the sky, and tell Wang Hansheng that the little devil doesn't know any bullshit at all, it's just a Japanese paratrooper, let them beat Lao Tzu hard." Chen Feng ordered loudly.

After Ma Cao left, Chen Feng began to mumble in his heart. The concept of paratroopers was a scarce commodity in this era, and the concept of airborne warfare appeared as early as World War I, when two soldiers jumped from the wings of a biplane and carried some explosives to blow up enemy warehouses, a move that caused a sensation at the time.

But the real appearance of paratroopers on the battlefield as a tactical branch had to be traced back to 1927, when the Soviet Red Army used transport planes to drop troops in Central Asia and annihilated the rebels such as the Batuma Red bandits in one fell swoop, which was the first time that there was a real airborne war. In 1930, the Soviet Airborne Forces officially established the first official paratrooper unit in the world.

Subsequently, Germany also created its own airborne troops, and also officially introduced the course of paratroopers in military schools. But Chen Feng remembered that the Japanese airborne troops during World War II should have been established after 1940, and because of this, when the Japanese airborne troops were mentioned in post-war comments, they were often crowned with modifiers such as "the shortest-lived airborne troops in World War II", how could they appear on the battlefield so early.

Could it be that it was because of his own appearance that the Japanese airborne troops appeared in advance, this question is really tangled. But after thinking about it for a while, Chen Feng put this problem behind him, this question is also in vain, anyway, the paratroopers of the little devil have appeared on the battlefield in Beiping, instead of spending so many brain cells thinking about this kind of thing, it is better to think about how to solve this big trouble.

I remember that when I was studying at the military academy, when talking about the airborne troops, my colonel instructor Cheng commented on the performance of the Japanese paratroopers during World War II: "The equipment is substandard, the tactics are backward, and the comprehensive strength can be called the worst airborne troops in the world."

As far as Chen Feng knows, at the beginning of Japan's establishment of its paratrooper units, due to its conservative military thinking, its level of tactics and techniques had always been in a backward state of "pediatrics." In many airborne operations, not only did it not achieve many great results, but on the contrary, it had frequent accidents and suffered heavy losses. Even the airborne training has been stuck in the primitive tower jumping and other basic training, the paratroopers' tactical skills training is still focused on infantry shooting and assassination, until September 1941, after the German airborne equipment was obtained, the Japanese airborne troops were able to begin air training.

During this period, however, many of these "elite" soldiers, selected from the infantry, suffered from fear of heights and other psychological disorders, and although they managed to maintain their training under the high pressure of officers, they were repeatedly suspended from training due to frequent accidents. In the overall exercise of the actual troops, the Japanese airborne troops had frequent accidents and created many "miracles" in the history of airborne.

During a parachute jump, two transport planes collided shortly after takeoff, and the paratroopers on board were "loyal" to the emperor before they could participate in a single actual battle. When the airborne landing was carried out, the pilot of the first plane misjudged the airborne landing field due to flight illusions, and actually threw all the airborne detachments into the sea, and the planes behind also followed closely and "unloaded" their own paratroopers into the sea, causing dozens of soldiers to drown in the sea because they could not open their parachutes in time. As a result of this accident, the airborne live exercise was urgently stopped, and the commander who commanded the exercise was also dismissed.

While Germany has repeatedly used its airborne troops in the European theater to achieve positive results, the Japanese airborne troops have been plagued by frequent accidents and have never been able to talk about any combat effectiveness. In this way, by November 1941, the Japanese army had made great efforts to overcome the relevant technical problems and obtain training results that could be used in combat. During this period, the Japanese Army Airborne Forces had carried out small-scale tactical use in the Chinese battlefield, but it had no impact on the overall combat situation, let alone any achievements. At that time, German military experts evaluated the Japanese airborne troops as "the most tactically and technically poor airborne troops" in the world.

If the Japanese paratroopers were still the same birds in history, Chen Feng really didn't take them seriously. But due to his sudden appearance, many things have completely changed, and Chen Feng really doesn't know if the Japanese paratroopers are still not what they used to be, so he needs Wang Hansheng and others to test the water to see if the water depth of the Japanese airborne troops is still not deep.
