Chapter 401: The Kwantung Army Going Alone (2)
"Someone must take the initiative to stand up and make the first move for the empire's ten thousand years of foundation! As the glorious imperial army, our Kanto Army is responsible for the sacred mission of talent and must not refuse such a heavy task. It must become the invincible place where the empire expands its territory for thousands of miles.
The sharp blade! Let’s make a decision together!”
Chief of Staff Hideki Tojo straightened Atsushi's body, and a blush that was about to overflow appeared on his black and red face. He waved his arms hard to strengthen his tone, and his passionate remarks.
"It is useless to count on those cowards in China! They will only speculate based on inaccurate news on paper, without noting that what the empire really needs is a battle without hesitation! A direct and tough military strike, let Chinana
People truly understand that as the commander of Asia, the leader of China is unquestionable! If you dare to challenge the dignity of the empire, you will have to pay the price of bleeding! A small-scale move has no meaning. If you do it, you will do a big deal!"
Looking around the audience, probably only Tojo Hideki did not really play an important role in the armed conflict with China. Others, such as Commander Kenyoshi Ueda, former Chief of Staff Seishiro Itagaki, was demoted to be the deputy chief of staff.
Kaner, former head of the agency Kenji Doihara, even fought repeatedly and never succeeded once. Takaki Tanaka, who was known as the "No. 1 shameless empire", was repeatedly broken, although not very glorious.
Almost all of them have suffered losses under Zhu Bin, but in terms of qualifications, he is the innocentest.
In the army, a clean resume means that you have done nothing and become the chief of staff without any merits. Even if you want to be the leader of the division, it is not easy to gain a foothold in the Kwantung Army! So far, he is the only one
The results of the prestigious results are probably the "East Border Defence" of the Northeast Anti-Japanese United Army at the end of last year to this spring. They cooperated with Sasaki to command 11 brigades and 25,000 Japanese and puppet troops to fight for several months, but they only killed them.
The troops led by Wang Fengge, and Yang Jingyu's troops, who were the most riotous and harmful, fought flexibly with the supply of short weapons and equipment, made him in a mess and not clean at all.
Therefore, Hideki Tojo is so active. He needs a huge victory to establish his position and prove his strength!
Ishihara Kanir simply closed his eyes and said nothing about his hysterical clamor and reckless war remarks. There was nothing to say, because he had been opposing the expansion of military threats and wars against China, and he had been completely invaded.
The cold palace could have been promoted to the position of deputy director of the General Staff Headquarters, but was demoted to the Kwantung Army and served as deputy to Hideki Tojo, who had always been looked down upon by him.
The conflict between the two is so serious, and their ideas are completely different. What else can be said?
According to Ishihara Kanir's idea, no matter how the Chinese make a fuss or resist, they will continue to have false peaceful diplomacy, and even ask the Germans to come forward to say peace. In short, don't cause major conflicts, and calculate as much as they can make progress in North China. Focus on strengthening
Coastal defense, air defense and defense on the Great Wall. As long as Japan does not put too much pressure on China and without external enemies, China will soon return to the collapse of internal strife, and even the north and west are divided into four or five groups to confront each other.
Possible.
In that case, as long as the empire is guaranteed not to be conquered into the South Mange River, it can concentrate on development safely and steadily, and use its main forces to stop the Soviet Union's expansion in the east. As long as it defeats the Soviet Union and stabilizes the situation in Manchuria.
, When the empire immigrated tens of millions or even more and became the main population of Manchuria, combined with the brainwashed and transformed more than 30 million Chinese, plus tens of millions of North Koreans, a super fortress with a population of 100 million will be completed.
At that time, no matter which direction you expand, it will be easy and easy.
What a pity, no one listened to him.
Commander Kenji Ueda looked coldly and swept everyone over with a calm face. He found that almost all his emotions were on his face, his eyes shining, and his heart was calm. He nodded vigorously and said, "The Chief of Staff is right! If you count on the cabinet and those
The conservative guys decided to fight, and there would be no result by this next year. They thought too much, but they were useless! The Chinese people are rapidly strengthening their armed forces. The benefits we finally obtained are at stake. Someone must stand up.
Come out to defend it! We cannot wait until the Chinese people complete the training and launch a strike, that is very unwise! It is even more irresponsible to the garrison troops entering China!"
Several defeats made the army finally start to face up to the combat effectiveness of Zhu Bin's troops. In this recent attack, the commander of the garrison army, Wanichiro Tashi, died of illness, and the commander of the 6th Division, Masashi Sakamoto, who had the same fate as the leader of the 6th Division.
Like the door, it has become a shame for the Japanese army, and the initiator Zhu Bin was even listed as the first blacklist.
Now, with the negotiations with the Republic of China government, the garrison troops have gradually supplemented a lot. From the various aspects of the North Korean and Kanto Army, there have been more than 10,000 people in two brigades, which is quite a lot.
, but I was not sure. The scene of the shattering under the impact of the tank cluster last year was too shocking and it is still unforgettable! If the Chinese troops initiate revenge, I don’t know how many days the more than 10,000 troops will be able to withstand, and if a large number of sacrifices are
, but it is hard to accept.
Kenyoshi Ueda's words basically determine the tone of starting a war. Seishiro Itagaki, who was transferred to the commander of the Fifth Division, said cautiously: "To ensure victory in the battle, we must gather more troops and powerful heavy equipment as soon as possible.
, especially the air force and chariot troops, must be particularly strengthened and must strive for dominance, otherwise it will be difficult to guarantee victory! Zhu Bin's troops are very threatening in this regard! "
Kenji Doihara agreed: "It is indeed necessary to give up the previous method of using local battles to promote negotiation victory. The unprecedented gathering and statement of the Chinese government, and no one dares to negotiate with us at will, which is very unfavorable. Therefore, it is best to
It is relatively easy to achieve a complete victory at the first time, eliminate the enemy in front of you, and then conduct political peace talks."
Hideki Tojo couldn't wait to shout: "Then hello! He just wanted to show the interests of the Imperial Team and prove that their resistance was futile and useless. At the same time, he also wanted to let the Soviet Union pay attention.
Our combat power is that we are absolutely not afraid of their provocation, and we will kill the chicken to scare the monkeys!"
Director of Intelligence Director Funaga Kyoji Funaga said: "According to the current situation, Song Zheyuan's subordinates have nearly 100,000 troops in front of him. After a significant increase in the past year, the number of artillery and machine guns is not worse than that of us, but ammunition and
The fighting will is lacking. At any time, we can add Wan Fulin's 53rd Army and possibly nearly 300,000 people in Yan Xishan, Shanxi. The Zhu Bin army in Shandong we are concerned about is said to have only four divisions, one of which is the main force.
It is the Marine Corps, all three divisions of the Army are mechanized, with a total of about 60,000 people. However, their air force is very strong and there should be no less than 500 fighter jets to use."
These numbers sound scary. A mere area around Pingjin, Hebei, 500,000 troops may be poured in at any time. No matter how you calculate it, it will be a big trouble.
Hideki Tojo waved his hand indifferently: "The miscellaneous army doesn't need to be considered. Yan Xishan will not leave his territory. As long as he restrains it a little, the fear of death will shrink back. Song Zheyuan's troops did not
With enough courage, just one division can defeat them. As for Zhu Bin, if the navy makes a restraint, he will not be able to distribute too many people to use on the battlefield. Then we will take the initiative and kill his air force, and we will be left with it.
Sooner or later, the troops we are going to be our combat achievements!”
When the Chief of Staff is not given in vain, the situation in North China cannot be fully understood, and I dare to speak clearly.
Of course, my friend Seishiro Itagaki would not miss the opportunity to support him, and agreed: "The Chief of Staff is basically correct. If we strengthen the garrison to 20,000 people, it will be enough to defeat Song Zheyuan's troops. For the sake of success, Zhu
The battle of Bin's troops must be taken seriously and it is appropriate to treat it as an equal opponent with us."
All reputations are created. Zhu Bin, no matter how many people he is, can make the Japanese so afraid. It is the first time in China. I don’t know if he should be proud. But if he really knows, he probably doesn’t have this thought, he will be completely unaware of it.
I didn't take the Japanese army seriously, a bunch of stupid and unworthy fusses with modern weapons and using primitive tactics...
Hideki Tojo narrowed his eyes slightly and sighed with a purse: "I really look forward to fighting with this guy! Let's see with my own eyes whether it is really as powerful as the legendary one!"
Seishiro Itagaki coughed all the time. This friend was really helpless. He always got nervous when it was critical. Is Zhu Bin's troops strong? I have experienced the battles over the past few years, even if I only lost one.
Most of the 3rd Brigade of the Riverside are from the Fifth Division. As the new division commander, Itagaki feels that he is definitely not much better, and he wants to win a game back, but he can't say that, right?
?It hurts so much that it still hit a large number of people!
Kenji Ueda glanced at Hideki Tojo helplessly and said cautiously: "I will invite and strengthen the strength of the Air Force combat troops, reconnaissance aircraft, fighter aircraft, and bombers combined, there will be no less than 500 aircraft. Now I am the only thing I worry about.
The navy refused to cooperate, and that old guy Mine Mitsumasa could not reverse his mind and would not agree no matter how he said it."
Hideki Tojo hummed disdainfully: "Then he doesn't need to agree! As long as our army works, the navy will always keep up. Anyway, their warships have been updated and the carrier-based fighter jets have been added.
, What excuses do not contribute to the country? Do you not want to make the face they have lost over the years?”
As the third largest navy in the world, it is not enterprising to squat at home as an "existence fleet" spends huge military expenses every year but cannot achieve any merit. As an emperor, don't you feel ashamed?
Kenyoshi Ueda agreed with his opinion this time. Mine Mitsumasa was just a person in any case and could not shake the determination of the entire empire. As long as he did this, the emperor would personally decree to express his support. How could the navy seek loan?
It will be "slaughtered by traitors" by countless people.
"Then take action! With our 8 divisions standing troops, and if we urgently transfer a few divisions, we will definitely achieve a decisive victory!"
Kenyoshi Ueda made the final decision, and then he and the commanders of each division urgently assigned the combat mission. Within a radius of thousands of miles northeast of North China, hundreds of thousands of troops were ready to rub their hands, and the bayonets were sharpened! (To be continued)!~!
