Chapter 320: Seven Great Battlefields, Seventeen Master Groups
In this way, under the method of exploring and operating on the side, the People's Army began to advance steadily towards the border of the puppet Manchukuo, and at this time, it was on the side of the little Japanese.
Osamu Sakai deployed 700,000 troops early in the morning and waited for the arrival of the People's Army. Although they fought on the large plains, the number was as high as 900,000 after all.
It can't be said that the troops are arranged randomly, so it is for the convenience of command, and at the same time, it is also to be able to take advantage of the mechanized troops of the Kwantung Army to a greater extent.
Shuichi Sakai roughly divided his 700,000 Kwantung Army and 200,000 puppet troops into seven major battlefields, and the top commander of these seven major positions was the division commander of each division.
You must know that the 700,000-strong Kwantung Army of the Little Devil has many divisions under its jurisdiction, and even has many Class A divisions. Anyone who has dealt with the Little Devil knows about the Class A divisions.
These Class A divisions are the ace troops of the Little Devils, and their combat effectiveness and firepower configuration are much stronger than those of the Little Devils' other regiments.
Speaking of which, the main reason why the Kwantung Army has such strong combat effectiveness and is called the "ace flower" of the little devils is because the Kwantung Army has many Class A divisions under its jurisdiction.
Especially at this time in 1941, the Kwantung Army of the Little Japanese had jurisdiction over the 1st Division, 8th Division, 9th Division, 10th Division, 11th Division, 12th Division, and 14th Division.
group.
As well as the 23rd Division, the 24th Division, the 25th Division, the 28th Division, the 29th Division, the 57th Division and other divisions, there are a total of seventeen divisions, with a total strength of seventeen.
One hundred thousand.
It even includes seven Class-A divisions. You must know that the Little Devils only have seventeen Class-A divisions in total, and now the Kwantung Army actually occupies seven Class-A divisions.
Under such circumstances, how could the Kwantung Army's combat effectiveness be weak? Each Class A division has nearly 28,000 people, and has four infantry regiments and independent cavalry, artillery, engineers and transportation units.
Alliance.
It can be said that no matter which A-level division it is, it is the ace unit of the little devils, and is treated as a treasure in the heart, no matter which battle is the fiercest.
Almost all of them have Class-A divisions. Now Shuichi Sakai holds seven major Class-A divisions, and he separates these seven Class-A divisions in turn.
............
The division commander of each Class A division is responsible for a plain area in order to fight against the People's Army. These are the seven main battlefields spent by Shuichi Sakai.
Taking into account the factor of time, Shuichi Sakai roughly divided the entire three northeastern provinces, that is, the territory of the puppet Manchukuo, into seven different battlefields.
In these seven battlefields, the highest commander of each battlefield is the division commander of the seven Class A divisions, and all the little devils in these seven battlefields.
They are all under the direct command of the division commanders of these A-level divisions, and Shuichi Sakai is the division commander who unifiedly commands these seven A-level divisions. This also reduces the complexity of the command system to the greatest extent.
Of course, the little devils in these seven battlefields must not only have their own Class A divisions, but also many other divisions and puppet armies.
For example, the first battlefield is the Yongning battlefield, which is an important city located on the plains among the three northeastern provinces. The first battlefield is centered on Yongning.
The troops of each division dispersed around, and the highest commander on the Yongning battlefield was Kengo Nishimoto, the commander of the 1st Division of the Japanese Army.
On the Yongning battlefield, in addition to the 1st Division with the Japs, there are also the 23rd Division and the 24th Division. In addition, there are many puppet troops.
Therefore, on the Yongning battlefield, there were almost more than 100,000 Japs and puppet troops, followed closely by the second battlefield, the third battlefield, and so on.
These battlefields are the same as the first battlefield, that is, the Yongning battlefield. The total military strength is almost more than 100,000, and the seven battlefields add up to exactly 900,000.
These seven major battlefields almost divided the important positions of the entire Puppet Manchukuo. Su Yu only needed to destroy these seven major battlefields, and then he would almost wipe out the entire Kwantung Army.
The north can be unified immediately, but it is still a bit difficult to defeat these seven battlefields. At least it is not easy to distribute the troops.
The People's Army has six divisions, but Shuichi Sakai has created seven battlefields. If one division is responsible for one battlefield, then there will only be one battlefield left.
