Chapter 258 Continue to upgrade and add top-level production plants
At this time, on the other side, Okamura Neji's side, after these few days, most of the weapons he deployed from the mainland have arrived in North China.
When Okamura Neiji armed all these weapons to the various units below, a meeting was held directly.
He called Yamashita Taro and other senior officers to the conference room to discuss the matter of starting a war with the People's Army.
"Everyone, our support is in place. I have initially decided to launch a formal attack on the People's Army at 12 noon the day after tomorrow."
"If I remember correctly, the People's Army has deployed two brigades on the edge of our defense zone, right?"
As soon as Okamura Neji finished his words, a young Japanese high-ranking man below stood up and answered.
"Yes, General, according to our investigation, at the border junction, the People's Army has deployed the first and second brigades of the first division there."
"There are more than 10,000 people in total, close to 20,000 people. We have also deployed five infantry regiments here, about 20,000 people."
"In terms of numbers, the number of soldiers we have deployed here is slightly more than that of the People's Army, but in terms of weapons, we are slightly inferior."
"But this gap has been made up by the number of soldiers we have. So far, the comprehensive combat effectiveness of our border troops is almost the same."
"And the People's Army is still increasing its troops. According to the movements of the People's Army, they seem to be preparing to send the three brigades of the First Division to the border."
"By then, the People's Army will have more than 20,000 troops on the border. Coupled with the weapons and equipment that are stronger than ours, we will have to increase our troops by then, otherwise it will be dangerous."
When everyone heard this, they immediately fell into silence. Originally, there were only a few thousand soldiers on both sides at the border.
However, as the subsequent confrontation became more and more serious, both sides tacitly continued to send more troops to the border, resulting in a total of nearly 40,000 troops stationed on the border.
You must know that there were originally less than 10,000 people, but now it has expanded four times, and the trend of the People's Army increasing its troops is still rising.
There is no downward trend at all. Once the People's Army increases its troops, they will also be forced to increase their troops.
After all, others have increased their troops. If you don't increase your troops, if the People's Army suddenly attacks one day, the soldiers on their border will be in trouble.
.............
This is the so-called arms race. You cannot turn a blind eye to others' efforts. This is similar to the Cold War between the United States and Lao Maozi in later generations.
The two sides just didn't fight. One was working hard to develop, while the other was forced to follow behind. In the end, the United States brought down Lao Maozi.
The current situation between the People's Army and the Japs is almost the same. When Okamura Neji saw that the People's Army was constantly adding troops to the border.
They were also forced to increase their troops. As a result, a big problem arose, that is, so far, the territory of the Japs is much larger than that of the People's Army.
On the People's Army side, there is only North Shanxi, while on the other hand, the Little Devils side covers the entire North China region. Under such circumstances.
If the Little Japanese side keeps following the People's Army and puts most of its troops on the border, then a big problem will arise on the Little Japanese side.
That is, the territory is so large, but the troops are concentrated on the border. In this case, the little devils will gradually reduce their control over various places in North China.
But the People's Army is different here. Their territory is only in northwest Shanxi, so they will not have such a problem at all.
So if things continue like this, the little devils will be slowly brought down by the People's Army, and they want to solve this problem.
There must be a fight. It is best to fight so that the People's Army does not dare to provoke itself anymore. Only in this way can this problem be completely solved.
At least that's what Neji Okamura thinks. If he couldn't afford to delay it, he wouldn't want to start an all-out war with the People's Army.
Because once a fight breaks out, there will be no way out. The biggest problem is that even he doesn't have much confidence.
Even if he obtained advanced weapons shipped from the mainland, Okamura Neji was not sure that he could defeat the People's Army.
The main reason is that so far, they have not captured a single People's Army tank or armored vehicle, let alone one with combat effectiveness.
They have never captured an intact tank, which leads to them knowing nothing about the People's Army's tanks.
The only thing we know is that the tanks of the People's Army are stronger than their own tanks. As the saying goes, if you know yourself and the enemy, you will be victorious in any battle.
But they don't know much about the weapons of the People's Army. On the other hand, the People's Army has already figured out their own weapons.
Under such circumstances, if the two sides went to full-scale war, how could Okamura Neji not be under psychological pressure?
Not to mention tanks, armored vehicles and fighter jets, they did not capture even weapons such as 88mm anti-aircraft guns, mg42 general machine guns and AK-47 automatic rifles.
