Chapter 316: Should You Kill or Not?
"Does he think that with only one army group of Timoshenko, he can recover all the territory of the Far East?"
After listening to Shouichi Terauchi's speculation, Dohihara couldn't help but sneer. Since the start of the Soviet-Japanese war, both sides have long understood their respective strengths and weaknesses. Seriously, Tu Feiyuan and the others still had a lot of cold sweat about this battle. Although they did achieve early victories, not only defeated the Soviet army in the Far East, but also waved their divisions westward, northern, and eastward, capturing large areas of Soviet territory in the Far East one after another. According to the seizures after the war and various intelligence analysis, they understood one thing, if it was not for the fact that they had the exact intelligence of the Soviet army, if it was not for their luck to kill the commander of the Soviet army Zhukov at the beginning, if it was not for the ...... Wait, the Kwantung Army, which they claim to be the strongest, may not be able to defeat the Soviets. If the Soviets had been ruthless, perhaps the current situation would not have been that the Soviets were trapped in Vladivostok and retreated to Irkutsk, but that they had retreated to Shenyang, Dalian, and Lushun.
It's not a notch at all.
These are the exact words of Ishihara Wanji, who is known as "Japan's No. 1 military strategist".
The Soviets had a huge industry, an inexhaustible resource, and a large number of troops...... Not to mention anything else, the thickness of the tank armor alone is enough to shame all the Japanese who really understand military affairs. Ishihara even believed that if the army only fought face to face, the Japanese army would be crushed by the iron hooves of the Soviets. There is no chance of winning. Even if the commanders of the Soviets were a few levels behind, they would be quickly defeated under the onslaught of the opposing artillery fire and armored clusters.
Based on these words, if it weren't for Seishiro Sakagaki's strong protection, Ishihara Waner would have to go to a military court.
But everyone who knows Lu Dao Ishihara Wan'er knows that this guy will never talk nonsense.
Thankfully, they had air supremacy in this war. The Soviets, although they had a lot of aircraft, were not at all opponents of their "Zero". This gave them the freedom to strike at the Soviets from the air. Although the Soviets had recently built a large number of anti-aircraft guns to be shipped to the Far Eastern Army, this could not neutralize their air superiority. Not to mention after a long rest. As well as the repair of the occupied cities, the positions of the Kwantung Army were already extremely strong, so that they were not afraid of the enemy coming to the door. On the contrary, with the help of the Air Force, the more fierce the Soviets attacked, the more people died.
"Although I have confidence in Sakagaki-kun, the strong industrial capacity of the Soviets is really worrying."
After several defeats in a row, Terauchi Shouichi lost his arrogance when he first arrived in China. And being slapped in the face several times and not being able to fight back made him lose face. So, while thinking about the problem. He is also becoming more and more rational, and no longer like before, when his brain is hot, he dares to rush with the army...... Now this trick does not work for the Chinese army. Not to mention the Soviets.
"Didn't the Air Force bomb the Trans-Siberian Railway all the time? As long as we still have air supremacy, then, even Sakagaki-kun can't stop Temoshenko. Our aviation could also hold the Soviets at the railway line. "Tu Fei Yuandao.
"But it's still winter in the north." Shouichi Terauchi: "This is the best time for the Soviets. ”
"Could it be...... Is the base camp so unconfident in Sakagaki-kun and Ishihara-kun? Tsuchihara heard his concern in Shouichi Terauchi's words.
"It's not that the base camp is without faith, they are too confident." Shouichi Terauchi sighed. "As far as I know. Shunroku Hata and Hideki Tojo gave Sakagaki-kun an order not to take half a step back. And this is obviously contrary to Ishihara's battle plan. ”
"These two idiots." Tu Feiyuan was immediately furious. Only forward, not backward...... This would have been done before, but now that the imperial army has suffered defeat in front of the Chinese, how can it demand such a request in the face of the more powerful Soviets? Doesn't this make Seishiro Sakagaki and Ishihara unable to play their advantages? Seishiro Sakagaki is now in Ulan-Ude. Hundreds of miles back is Chita, and then there is a large piece of land...... If the war is unfavorable, they can completely take advantage of retreat to lengthen the opponent's supply line and shorten their own supply line. The original Russo-Japanese War. It was because the Russians fought to the death that they allowed Japan to win. If the Russians had been wiser and had chosen to retreat and stretch the Japanese front, the result would have been completely different, and Japan would not have been able to rise. But now, the mistake of the Russians should be repeated by the Japanese, which seems to Tohihara to be simply ironic.
"Actually, there is no way to do it in the base camp." Terauchi Shouichi continued: "We have lost one after another on the Chinese battlefield, and the mainland of this empire has been bombed by the Chinese and the Soviets, and if we are defeated in the Far East, then the confidence of the entire country will be incalculably damaged." We can have today's situation, it can be said that we rely on this indomitable courage, but if we lose our courage, we will once again be forced to stay on an isolated island, repeat the fate of our ancestors for thousands of years, and bow down to the mainland again! ”
"A tactical retreat is about winning a strategic victory. The Chinese have given up more than half of their country, but now they are fighting stronger and stronger, are Shunroku Hata and Hideki Tojo fools? I don't even know about this? Tu Feiyuan said angrily.
"They should be able to think of this, but I believe that the reason why they still made this decision was because they thought they could continue to get 'help' from Chinese...... If Timoshenko could be defeated, then the Soviets would have lost Siberia completely. It would be a great victory. ”
"They think the Chinese are fools? It was their best choice to keep the empire in Siberia against the Soviets. Because whether the empire or the Soviets win, the next situation will be devastating for China. Especially if we win a victory over Timoshenko and consolidate the fruits of victory, the Kwantung Army can go straight from Siberia to Outer Mongolia and Xinjiang, and then to their northwest. Once these places are occupied, Shaanxi, Hubei, and Hunan can simultaneously attack Sichuan and Chongqing. It will be a battle for them to lose their country; And if the Soviets break through the blockade of the Kwantung Army, they will inevitably take the opportunity to march into Manchuria...... That would mean that China would completely lose the northeastern provinces. Even if they can defeat us one day, they will not be able to reclaim a piece of land. These two results, which one will they choose with the Chinese? ”
"Those things are still far away." Shouichi Terauchi sighed, "You better take a look at the order on this telegram first...... The base camp now wants a living Qin Wei. ”
"Then I can't help it. The assassination operation has begun. Tu Feiyuan snorted coldly, "Qin Wei will arrive in Kunming today." So. I simply couldn't stop it. ”
"And what are the chances of success for this assassination attempt?" Shouichi Terauchi asked, "That's a great guy." It's impossible to be defenseless. ”
"Odds of success?" Tu Feiyuan shook his head slightly and smiled bitterly, "I think it may be less than one percent." ”
"Less than one percent?" Shouichi Terauchi was stunned one by one, "So low? ”
"You said, that's a great guy, and it's pretty good." Tu Feiyuan sighed, "How could he be ignorant of our assassination if he could accurately detect our military plans?" What's more, this time the operation was very hasty, and the people who did it were just ordinary intelligence officers, and there were few real killers. With such a layout, it is simply impossible to kill a person who is even more cunning than Dai Li. ”
"Then didn't you waste those intelligence officers in Kunming in vain?" Shouichi Terauchi said dissatisfied.
"Assassinate Qin Wei. Even if there is only one percent of hope, it is worth it. What's more," Tu Feiyuan's face once again flashed a trace of bitterness: "Almost all of our intelligence and liaison agencies in Chongqing have been wiped out by the military commanders, and the other party's actions are simply silent, or even without warning. Do you think this is something that the Dai Lisa generation can do? Qin Wei is now in Kunming, and the person in charge of the Kunming military command is his former subordinate Shen Zui. He's certainly not going to let go of those of our intelligence agents. Since you won't let it go, why not just let these people try it. Let's see if we can kill this guy who poses a huge threat to the Empire. ”
"So how do we explain to the base camp? Just say...... The operation has begun. Too late to stop? Shouichi Terauchi asked.
"Don't say anything." Tu Feiyuan's face was expressionless, "Lest I fail, and I will be reprimanded by the group of fools in the base camp again." ”
"Okay. Anyway, even if it fails, it's not a big deal, and if it succeeds, it's a great thing. ”
Shouichi Terauchi didn't insist, nodded to Tohihara, and turned around and left. And Dohihara watched him close the office door with his hand. He copied the globe on the corner of the table, and with a vigorous touch, the trumpet globe spun rapidly:
"Is it a good thing? If Qin Wei died, he would lose his intelligence support. We are even less sure of our war with the Soviets. But now we are trapped in Siberia and have no way to get out...... Qin Wei, you cunning guy, do you deserve to die? ”

"Damn it!"
Long Yun's roar once again resounded through one or two streets in Kunming City...... He was about to break down. That cheating dad hit his car, so that he couldn't find a car for a while, and he was embarrassed in front of the visitors, but he didn't repent, and he wanted to flirt with other people's wives...... Is that little girl surnamed Zhou something you can provoke? What is the end of the Qinghai Ma family? Legend has it that because Ma Bufang's son didn't know what to do, he actually teased him, the secretary surnamed Zhou, in front of Qin Wei. As a result, Qin Wei was so angry that he immediately found Chiang Kai-shek and encouraged Chiang Kai-shek to clean up the Ma family in Qinghai. Not only that, the surnamed Qin not only personally sent troops to take Ma Bufang's family, but also dragged Lao Jiang to wipe the Ma family's property clean...... This matter is spreading in the high-level of Chongqing, who doesn't know? This Qin is a top and top cautious eye. But his own son sent it to the door by himself!
Of course, Long Yun was not afraid of Qin Wei. But he really didn't want to cause trouble...... Lao Jiang has not been pleasing to the eyes of these candidates who have divided one side for a day or two, and this surnamed Qin is one of Lao Jiang's most trusted people, in case this guy sneers at him behind his back, which makes Lao Jiang unhappy and presses him with righteousness or something, it will not be a little troublesome. Besides, molesting other people's wives in front of other men, this matter has been rumored, and it is not his Long Yun's face that has been lost?
And just when he hadn't decided yet, Qin Wei seemed to have noticed something wrong behind him and opened the car door......
So, under the angry and anxious three-phase attack, Long Yun took three steps and made two steps, and before Qin Wei got out of the car, he kicked Long Shenbin out three meters away:
