Chapter 336: The Great War in the Far East?
On June 20, 1941, General Umezu Mijiro, commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, held a press conference and announced that the Kwantung Army would form 10 new divisions, that is, 150-159 divisions, and all of them would be formed according to the standards of permanent divisions and regiments.
As soon as the news came out, the entire alliance was frightened, you know, at the time of the Battle of Nomenkan in 1939, the Kwantung Army had only 300,000 troops in total, but even this forced the alliance to mobilize several times the number of troops to compete with it, if there were 250,000 more troops, Comrade Iron did not know where to find troops to fill this bottomless pit.
From the literal meaning of the post-war disclosures, from beginning to end. The Alliance's strength and the number of technical weapons can form an absolute crushing force for the Kwantung Army.
But in fact, the quality of the alliance's huge army is really flattering, especially those workers' divisions, whose combat effectiveness is only inferior to that of the Chinese puppet army with the same equipment.
As for the technical equipment, it's just a number, well, except for those that are put out, it's all numbers, and the dog's brains on the European battlefield are about to be played, where can you throw technical equipment in the Far East?
Less than an hour had passed, and the Emperor Kant jumped out and reiterated once again that the territorial agreement between the previous government and the Tsarist government was null and void and was not recognized, and that the alliance should immediately withdraw to the area west of Lake Baikal and return the area east of Lake Baikal to the former government of China that he represented.
Emperor Kant also said that in order to recover the lost territory, he himself would not hesitate to fight, and would add ten infantry divisions to the "Manchukuo Army", and in order not to affect the normal production and life of Manchukuo and the Outer Mongolian appeasement zone, he would accept the advice of his court advisers, recruit new troops from Goryeo to form these ten divisions, and deploy them in the northern territory of the empire.
It may be that the shock to the alliance is not enough, just at the same time as Emperor Kant made a radio speech, General He in Wuhan accepted an online interview with the Central News Agency, talking about the alliance's commitment to unequal treaties, General He was quite emotional, saying that it was a naked deception, a violation of international justice and the spirit of the human contract, once China achieved peace, there must be an explanation, otherwise, whether it is 450 million people or 8 million national troops will not agree.
You think this is coming to an end? No, the radio is still playing Emperor Kant's radio speech, the commander of the 11th Army of the Japanese Army, Lieutenant General Ishihara Waner, who has just turned positive, appeared in the Alishan Mountains, it is reported that the lieutenant general has received an order from the military department, allowing him to form five divisions of Wanwan troops to make up for the lack of the 11th Army, so that the Japanese army's battle sequence has appeared in the 160-164 five division-level numbers, and it is still a human division.
Within one day, the Japanese army had 15 more divisions in the battle sequence, plus the Manchurian division that was still to be formed, adding nearly 500,000 regular troops, if this was not a war signal, I am afraid that it would not be a war signal, and the Iron and Steel comrades, who were worried about the further deterioration of the situation, hurriedly dispatched a number of fighters from Europe to the Far East to urgently curb the Japanese ambitions.
A series of troop and material movements directly paralyzed the fragile Trans-Siberian Railway, a physical paralysis, because of the continuous passage of heavy trains, a vital bridge on the Trans-Siberian Railway actually collapsed directly, even if the bridge of the same size is not a year in Europe, don't think about repairing, as for Siberia, only God knows.
The Japanese side is also stupid, what is the situation, I just want to put a smoke screen, okay, the expansion of the army is also some second-line troops used to make up the number, why are you scared like this? Also, are you a little too weak? The point is, do I really do it?
The first thought of Japan's top brass is that the alliance is also carrying out strategic deception, wanting to deceive itself into attacking the alliance in order to reduce the pressure on Huaxia and Bald Eagle, after all, the alliance has never put out the idea of reaching into Northeast Asia, if it were not for Japan blocking there, I am afraid that the alliance and the bald eagle would have already fought now.
The Japanese top brass hesitated here, but the alliance on that side was shocked three times a day, because their spy group in Tokyo sent back the news "in time", that is, the Japanese government transferred a large amount of military supplies to Manchuria as soon as possible after the Tokyo explosion.
The total amount of materials is not only enough to form ten divisions and ten Manchurian divisions, but also enough to strengthen the existing Kwantung Army and Manchurian Army, not to mention the most advanced weapons, but only in terms of the number of technical weapons, it is completely inferior to the Far East garrison of the alliance.
The quantity is comparable, the quality is superior, and the training and combat effectiveness of the troops far surpass the Siberian garrison, what is this for? Could it be that the Japanese have really made up their minds? For the first time, Comrade Iron began to doubt himself.
The alliance is going all out to prepare for military operations against Western Europe, and as long as it lasts until the spring of 1942, Comrade Iron will be able to solve the threat from the West once and for all and dominate Europe.
However, no matter what he thought in his heart, the problem had to be solved, and Comrade Iron and Steel was trying to increase the strength of the Far East on the one hand, and on the other hand, he urgently sent a special envoy to Tokyo, and the Coalition needed to maintain peace with the Japanese at all costs.
On the 21st, another incident occurred that was full of gunpowder, and a reconnaissance plane of the Kwantung Army was actually shot down during a routine reconnaissance close to the border, which made the Kwantung Army, which was holding back an evil fire because of the fire in Tokyo, suddenly angry, and immediately mobilized the artillery group to retaliate, and fired thousands of shells in one breath, and the alliance was not false, according to the previous tactical guidance, the front-line commander immediately counterattacked.
In this way, the two sides fought, until the artillery cluster of the alliance stationed in the area was completely knocked out, and although the conflict did not continue to expand, the casualties on both sides added up to several thousand, according to the previous situation, this should be just an intermission, and it is very likely that a larger border conflict will break out between the two sides.
For a while, it seemed that a full-scale war between the alliance and Japan was just around the corner, and all kinds of people from all sides became active at once.
