Chapter 726: Chapter 408 Heavy losses (2)

Shunroku Hata could no longer stand this extremely heavy battle report. So much supplies and ammunition, and so many casualties were spent to capture Nanchang? If the battle continues like this, the Emperor of Japan will be dead within a year.

The army is about to retreat to Manchuria! Is the imperial army too incompetent? Or has the combat capability and weapons and equipment of the Japanese army been greatly improved? It is true to learn war in war, but theory is still theory after all.

The New First Division is a new type of army armed entirely with Soviet weapons. The officers and soldiers have a very tenacious combat awareness. The front lines are full of traces of brutal fighting. The only way to occupy the Chinese defenders' positions is to kill them all.

Shunroku Hata was pacing back and forth in his office. He was afraid that the war situation was out of control now.

Okamura Neiji's Eleventh Army was the only field attack army after the main military and political policy changes in China. That's why the Eleventh Army has such a large scale. Now it seems that the current strength of the Eleventh Army seems

Unable to deal with the Chinese forces surrounding them from all directions, Hata Shunroku also showed his weakness in the face of this predicament.

The only way is to hope that the military base camp can mobilize some troops from the Kwantung Army to support North China, and deploy elite field divisions from North China to reinforce the Nanchang front line, attack Changsha, and contain the main force of the Chinese field army, so that

Okamura Neji had time to capture Nanchang.

When did a good game of chess become so unbearable? How could a mere division of the Japanese Army be able to leverage the established strategy of the Imperial Army at the tactical level? Thinking about this terrible consequence, Shunroku Hata shuddered. The War of Resistance Against Japan

Gao Fei, who was waiting for help in Nanchang City, took a deep breath as he looked at the fierce exchange of fire in the east of the city toward Zhongzheng Square. The main reason why he dared to hold on to Nanchang was because historically the Japanese would conduct an attack on the Soviet Union at Nomenkan in early May.

In fact, as early as 1936, various detachments of the Japanese Kwantung Army invaded Mongolia's Adagdo with more than 1,500 people in fifty cars, twelve armored vehicles, and four tanks.

Lan area, was defeated by the Soviet and Mongolian troops.

The scale of the Japanese army's constant probing also escalated, so in May 1939, the Japanese Kwantung Army decided to attack Mongolia in the Nomonhan area to occupy its eastern territory, the Halaha area, as a springboard for its subsequent invasion of the Soviet Far East.

And then realize the long-planned plan to advance northward.

The Japanese Tokyo authorities, who seemed incompetent to Gao Fei, were still arguing over the strategies of northward and southward advance. The northward advance plan was to use the Sixth Army to launch an offensive into Soviet Siberia, with the goal of attacking the Lake Baikal area, while the southward advance plan was to

Use the navy mainly to seize the resources of Southeast Asia, especially the oil of Dutch Indonesia.

The failure of the Japanese army in the Battle of Nomonhan forced Japan to change its national policy of invading the Soviet Union from the north to attacking the United States from the south. The Soviet Union thus avoided the unfavorable situation of fighting on two fronts with Germany and Japan. The Americans fought against Japan and the Soviet Union.

They made sarcastic remarks while fighting, and the two fools vented their anger in a corner of the world where people didn't notice.
