In 1960, Li Yunlong brought the elite(1/2)
"Baga!"
"Damn the Tu Eighth Route Army!"
"So impatient!"
Seishiro Itagaki cursed a few angrily.
Then incompetent furious.
However, he also received news that Tujiao Route Army attacked the Huainan Mining Area.
The Japanese army hiding in the mine tried to fight back, but ended up being killed by fierce fire from the Eighth Route Army and suffered heavy losses.
The one who took the lead was Yang Yue.
It's really troublesome.
This Yang Yue is such a difficult ghost.
With him launching the battle, it is estimated that the Japanese army in the mining area will not last long.
Reinforcements must be sent as soon as possible.
The problem is, reinforcements are still on the way.
Or, reinforcements have not set off yet.
Well, yes, I haven’t set off yet. I’m still gathering in Chuzhou!
The mobile forces he can mobilize are 58 and 49 special divisions.
Using these two divisions to rescue is undoubtedly a drop in the bucket and it doesn't work at all. Instead, it's a tactic of adding fuel to the Tujiao Route Army and sending more people to the Tujiao Army.
How many troops does the Tujiao Huainan Military Region have at present? I don’t know.
What are the weapons and equipment? Not clear.
How many elite terrorist groups did Li Yunlong bring? I don’t know.
There is no definite evidence to support all, so you can only guess.
When fighting with Li Yunlong, you rely on guessing all of them? Unless you want to die.
But it is certain that the combat power of the Eighth Route in Huainan is definitely not weak. The two divisions are definitely not enough.
"There are many people in the Eighth Road."
"There are a lot of heavy machine guns. There are at least thirty."
“Adequate ammunition.”
This is information fed back by the Japanese army hiding in the mine.
In a very short time, they were killed and injured by the Eighth Route Army outside the cave entrance. A single infantry brigade was completely lost.
Such fierce firepower is definitely not an ordinary terrorist 8th Route Army!
Li Yunlong brought all the elites.
“Baga…”
"Damn base camp..."
“Baga…”
"Private Tojo..."
Seishiro Itagaki secretly resented his superiors.
It must be Hideki Tojo who is making trouble behind the scenes. He deliberately increases the difficulty for himself and deliberately does not mobilize his troops.
The two newly formed special divisions, 61 and 62, can be transferred to the East China region for combat! Why must we be transferred to North China? Since we are transferred to North China for rotation, can we consider transferring to the Huainan region for combat? As a result, the base camp refused.
These two special divisions will be transferred back to the Kwantung Army's combat sequence.
But it was Umezu Mijiro who made the effort.
The commander of the Kwantung Army complained to the base camp every day, saying that his main division was too small and he was no match for the Soviet army opposite.
He shamelessly added fuel to the fire and said that the Su Meng army on the opposite side was constantly increasing its strength. It had increased from the original 1.2 million to 1.8 million, and it was still increasing. It may eventually exceed 2.5 million.
At present, there are only 500,000 soldiers left on the Kwantung Army. In fact, there are only about 350,000 soldiers who are combat-capable. The other 150,000 are all new recruits.
Such a huge gap in the military strength made Umetsu Mijiro sleepless at night. The entire Kanto Army was in panic, fearing that the Soviet army would suddenly attack.
"Baga!"
"A bunch of cowards!"
Seishiro Itagaki was very disdainful of Umezu Mijiro's complaints.
There are still 500,000 elite soldiers, so scared. No wonder the Kwantung Army always defeated the war. If the force doubled, it would be a part of the defeat.
Unfortunately, his power cannot affect the base camp.
Taking into account the national issues, the base camp decided to transfer some of its main divisions back.
In the final analysis, Hideki Tojo still has his own little plan. The Kanto Army was his place of fortune and could not be missed.
All cowards!
I deserve to be dominated by the Tojo High School...
"Come!"
Seishiro Itagaki called out to adviser in disappointment.
No matter how much you complain, you still have to find a way to solve the problem.
I still have to find a way to kill the damn Yang Yue.
This guy must be cut into pieces.
By the way, there is also Li Yunlong.
Li Yunlong is more important than Yang Yue.
I must kill this Li Yunlong first...
"Hisser General." A staff officer pushed the door open.
"Did Colonel Yamamoto come to Nanjing?" Seishiro Itagaki asked anxiously.
"not yet."
"Is there any accident on the road?"
"Report to General, Colonel Yamamoto needs to take the train to Tianjin Wei, then take the boat to Nagasaki, and then take the boat to Shanghai. The entire itinerary may take twenty days."
"Yeah?"
Itagaki Seishiro smiled bitterly at the corner of his mouth.
It seems that yes. I have reported myself before this trip. But I forgot.
Twenty days...
What a long time it was.
I really didn’t expect that it would take twenty days to travel from Taiyuan to Nanjing.
If it is a few months ago, it can arrive in a maximum of two days. If it exceeds two days, someone will have to be responsible.
At that time, the railway was still unobstructed. The Imperial Army could be mobilized at will. As long as there were railways, the Imperial Army could maneuver quickly.
Unlike now, important railways have been paralyzed. North China and central China are only separated by a Yellow River, but the railway is simply unable to be connected by railways.
The situation has never been so bad.
The Imperial Army's mobile forces were greatly constrained.
Each strategic zone cannot support each other.
The North China Front Army has become an independent kingdom.
He, the chief of staff of the dispatched army, could not effectively command Okamura Yasuji, the commander of the North China Front Army.
Because of the cut off traffic, the North China Front Army's forces could only be mobilized by the base camp. Tojo Hideki attaches great importance to Okamura Yasuji and basically agrees with Okamura Yasuji's request.
Even a ridiculous request.
so……
The North China Front Army is getting bigger and bigger.
The commander of the 11th Army stationed in central China, Anan Weiji, is also a member of Tojo Hideki. He only listens to Tojo Hideki.
what does that mean?
It means that the Expeditionary Command will be emptied sooner or later.
The troops he can command now are the 12th Army stationed in Jinan and the 18th Army stationed in Xuzhou.
Occasionally, the 23rd Army stationed in Guangzhou also included.
