Chapter 832: Strategic Turning Point (6)
Therefore, Emperor Hirohito had no choice but to move Prince Jae-in out. He probably wanted to send off the old guy Jae-in in Siberia. At least he could die on the battlefield, so Jae-in would not be in vain for his whole life.
The prince agreed, but he did not dare to make planes all the way through Manchuria because the Mustang P51D fighter of the Sino-US Joint Air Force was too fierce. The super large combat radius made the Japanese stunned. Compared with the Mustang P51D fighter, they attracted
The proud Zero War Thirty-one was out of date just now, especially after increasing the engine's horsepower, Zero War was a bit top-heavy, and the fuel consumption also increased. Its combat radius was only five of Mustang P51d fighter.
Three out of three, the performance of Mustangs is not at all advantageous. The most important thing is that Mustangs are very easy to operate by novices, while Zero Battle can only be powerful in the hands of experienced pilots. | March 8 Literature
So the plane was too dangerous, so I could only ride a boat and headed from North Korea to Manchuria toward the Far East. As a result, Prince Zai Ren discovered that he was aware of it when he arrived in North Korea, "What a guy!" Busan Port was bombed in a mess, and the Sino-US Joint Air Force was
The b25 and b17 bombers just visited here at night. Prince Zai Ren's first reaction was that the Chinese were doing experiments for the large-scale bombing of the Japanese army? This idea made him fight a cold war, just like being naked in the cold weather.
Standing in the snow and ice, the Sino-US Joint Air Force can actually ramp up the Korean Peninsula, carry out bombing at will, and have full escort?
After arriving in Vladivostok in the Far East, Prince Zai Ren seemed very exhausted. He was very puzzled by the army's use of Vladivostok as the command center, but he did not ask about it in detail. After all, the temperature in the port city is always below minus 40% after the ice and snow.
Is it better to have a Spellar snow nest?
However, what shocked Prince Zai Ren even more was the low morale of the imperial army and insufficient supply. The original supply from Manchuria and Mongolia was only about half of the required supply, and the navy was able to provide part of it from Vladivostok, so the army of the Vladivostok command center was the army.
The generals can still eat sashimi and drink sake at the restaurant every day, and the lower-level officers also have canned food. It is not difficult for Prince Zairen to understand why the Kwantung Army set up its command center in Vladivostok. | March 8 Literature
The formation to welcome Prince Zai Ren is very big. The one who stood in front was Sugiyama Moto who had replaced his chief of staff. In Prince Zai Ren's memory, Sugiyama Moto was a man who was studying in the military academy in his early years because of his honest face.
He also has a nickname called "Silly Yuan". It means that it can be pushed open inside and outside like a toilet door. In fact, this person is extremely stubborn and stubborn, and he is very revengeful. The first page of his diary is
It says that a gentleman takes revenge for ten years. After he took power, almost all his classmates and friends were in trouble. The blood sacrifice of the mountains and rivers of the Anti-Japanese War 832
Prince Zai Ren still remembers very clearly that when the war between Japan and the United States was imminent, Emperor Hirohito chose the foolish Sora Sugiyama to replace his elderly self as the chief of staff, and the equally foolish Private Hideki Tojo
The Minister of Army, Sugiyama Moto attended the imperial meeting as Chief of Staff, discussed and passed the main plan for handling the incident in China proposed by the base camp. The main plan aims to stop the activities of US-British aid to Chiang Kai-shek through force, adjust the relations between Japan and the Soviet Union, force the Chongqing government to surrender, establish
Long-term and lasting combat system.
Later, Prince Zai Ren also heard that Sugiyama Moto had personally visited southern China, French Indochina, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia and other places to prepare for the war. He was discussing whether to continue negotiations with the United States or to declare war.
At the base camp liaison meeting, Sugiyama Moto proposed that the negotiation deadline must be set, otherwise it will be detrimental to Japan's national interests. Sugiyama Moto's proposal now seems extremely stupid, but at that time there were so many people supporting it.
At that time, the eyes were blinded by victory, but before Japan could attack and declare war, the Americans turned aside, sank their old warships, and joined the war in advance, so that the strategic deployment of the 16th Yamamoto attacked Pearl Harbor was completely dead.
middle.
Prince Zai Ren entered the headquarters, and the warm heating finally made him feel relieved. The Far East was still too cold, especially for him, the sick old man, Sugiyama Moto wanted to be promoted to the honorary title of walking in the Marshal's Mansion, so he kept encouraging him.
Prince Zai Ren was very clear about the establishment of the Far East General Army, but at this moment, the generals of the Far East Imperial Imperial Army were like stars, and each had his own little plan. Prince Zai Ren was very clear about this.
Prince Zairen discovered among the many welcome generals Naosabu Okabe, commander of the Third Front Army of the Kanto Army. The short-sized Naosabu Okabe has always given him an impressed gentleman who is not manic, not manic,
Radical and calm in the face of problems. Such people are the generals needed by the Imperial Imperial Army, not those who only know how to attack but do not care about the comparison of logistics and the enemy and our military strength. Those who always want the whole army to be broken are Prince Zairen
What I look down upon is Sugiyama Tsuki.
Naosaburo Okabe graduated from the 18th Artillery Department of the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School. It can be said that those who played artillery back then were considered technical troops within the army than infantry. Naosaburo Okabe was not arrogant, and he was not too arrogant, and he was most of them.
Compared to Naosaburo Okabe, the Sabre Group is indeed much more modest.
Moreover, the first actual position attached to Okabe Naosaburo from the General Staff Headquarters was to assist the commander-in-chief of the Chinese dispatched army, General Teruchi Tochi. Later, he continued to expand the war of aggression against China. His command invaded Hebei, Chahar, Shanxi, and Suiyuan successively.
While Shandong and other places, they also had a very foresighted and continuously strengthened their spy activities. In Tianjin, a special special agent agency targeting the Chinese army was set up, and Seiichi Kita was appointed as the chief of the spy agency to integrate the Japanese spy agency in North China to collect information.
The sorting is a great contribution.
Prince Zai Ren sat in the center position, the commander of the front army sat in the first row of the conference table, the commander of the army sat in the second row, behind which were the commander of the divisions of each division, and the Kwantung Army
The staff team sat behind Prince Zai Ren. As the commander of the Kanto Army, Mijiro Umezu, sat on Prince Zai Ren's left hand, while Sugiyama Moto sat on his right hand, and the huge conference room suddenly became hot and warm.
, the staff members who were so arrogant in the past had to put away their arrogance in front of Prince Zai Ren.
