Umezu Mijiro was not the commander of the Kanto Army at that time, General Kenyoshi Ueda.^/very literary/^ Ueta Kenyoshi is old. He dared to send only a three-unit 23rd Division in the Battle of Nomenhan.
The regiment participated in the battle. It was such a old Kenji Ueda who had a grasshopper in the late stage of the Battle of Nomenhan. He jumped a few times and sent several elite divisions to attack the Soviet coastal areas. If it weren't for the signing of the Soviet Union
The non-aggression treaty may have already captured the sea cucumber power by that time. Umezu Mijiro was much more powerful than Kenyoshi Ueda and was much more capable. Since he had the idea of ​​taking the opportunity to attack the Soviet Union and taking advantage of the situation, he had thought very carefully.
Umezu Mijiro led Kimura Hitotaro and others to repeatedly ponder in front of the map, and then transferred out the information from the Nomenhan Battle to study it carefully. He also took out the clippings of the "Wenhui Po = Military Forum" collected by the Chinese in the previous stage to study it.
, the final conclusion was that the Kwantung Army was fully capable of defeating the Soviet Far Eastern Red Army.
In history, the battle of Nomenhan scared the Japanese devils and never dared to provoke the Soviet army easily. Now that history has changed so much, the article "Wenhui Po = Military Forum" has caused casualties between the Japanese and Soviet troops.
The situation was clearly explained, which gave the Japanese a new understanding, that is, during the Battle of Nomenhan, the Japanese army used the power of a division to fight against a group of the Far East Red Army, and all Soviet troops participated in the war, and the final casualties were different from the Japanese army.
Not big. With the achievements of the Eastern Front War, the Japanese now believe that the Battle of Nomenhan was their victory, and at least they still won even if they were defeated.
Meijiro Umezu now believes that although the Soviet Red Army is well equipped, has strong armor and strong artillery fire, its command level and the individual tactics of soldiers are very naive, and it cannot be compared with the Kanto Army.
Meijiro Umezu also carefully analyzed the strength of the Kwantung Army. Now, the infantry divisions owned by the Kwantung Army are the First Division, the Second Division, the Seventh Division, the Ninth Division, the Eleventh Division, and the Tenth Division.
The Second Division, the 23rd Division, the 24th Division, the 51st Division, and the 57th Division have a total of ten infantry divisions and two chariot divisions, including the 11th Division
The regiment was severely damaged in Shandong and returned to Manchuria defense land.
In addition to these ten infantry divisions and two chariot divisions, the Kwantung Army also has the ** garrison, border garrison and artillery, anti-aircraft artillery units and Kwantung Army Aviation Group. The Manchurian National Defense Force can also be put into operation. Once the war begins, Kwantung
The army can get support from the Korean army and the navy, and the troops are sufficient.
Umezu Mijiro is smarter than Ueda Kenyoshi. Ueda Kenyoshi ordered Okabe Naossaburo to command the First Division, Second Division, Fifth Division and Chariot Brigade to attack Sea Cucumber Mars.
Then he almost captured the Ussuri Plain. Umezu Mijiro thought much more profound than Kenyoshi Ueda, and he wanted more than just the Jiangdong region and Sakhalin Island. Therefore, he wanted to obtain authorization and support from the Emperor and the Japanese government.
Use the power of the Japanese army and navy to solve the Far East problem in one battle.
Umezu Mijiro calculated and felt that by mid-August, the Soviet army would inevitably be defeated on the Western Front in early August, and the Soviet Far East Red Army would also inevitably be transferred to the west. Its ground troops were expected to be reduced by half, and the air force and other direct troops might also be reduced by one third.
.*.**/* By then, the Soviet Far East Army will be reduced from 30 divisions to 5, and the number of tanks and aircraft will be reduced accordingly. At that time, the Kwantung Army will use force against the Soviet Union, which will definitely result in half the result with twice the effort.
It is easy to destroy the Soviet Far Eastern Red Army and occupy the entire Siberian region.
Just when Smetaning asked Toyota Sadajiro, Mejiro Umezu sent the Kwantung Army Combat Office staff member Takeo Kitaro flew back to Japan from Changchun to report to the General Staff Headquarters the intention of the Kwantung Army: First, it takes some preparation time to fight against the Soviet Union;
2. The confidentiality of combat preparations must be paid attention to; 3. Manchuria requires the following military supplies: ammunition required for 30 divisions in one battle, grain required for 16 divisions in three months, and 16 divisions in five months
fuel.
Umezu Mijiro wanted to tell Emperor Hirohito and Prime Minister Konoha that the Kanto Army needed to expand its army so as to gain greater benefits for the Great Japanese Empire.
After Takeu Kitaro returned to the General Staff Headquarters to report, he immediately attracted the attention of the devil invading China and the chief of staff of the Japanese army. Shanshanyuan drove to drink the mainland prime minister Hideki Tojo to discuss, and the two went to meet Prime Minister Komaki Komaki together.
After discussion, the three people decided to hold a joint meeting between the government and the base camp to specifically discuss the issue of combat against the Soviet Union.
Kanto Army Commander Mijiro Umezu and Chief of Staff Hotaro Kimura were ordered to return home to attend the meeting.
This meeting was a secret meeting, but there were many participants, except for the heads of the General Staff, the Army and Navy, the heads and minds of the cabinet departments, the Senate, and the parliament attended the meeting.
Although it was a secret meeting, the quarrel was very fierce. The main thing was the battle between the three factions of the northward faction, the southward faction and the non-expanding invading faction.
The invaders have changed now. It turned out that they advocated the public office of the Japanese invasion on the Yongding River front line in North China. Now they have become like this. Their position has also changed. They advocated first solving the Chinese issue and forcing Chiang Kai-shek's National Government.
Surrender, completely eliminate the Eighth Route Army led by **, and consolidate the occupation of China. There was another division in this faction. Some of them believed that they would no longer expand their occupation in China, so they negotiated with Chiang Kai-shek based on the existing occupied areas.
If Chiang Kai-shek chewed the negotiations, he would vigorously support the Wang Jingwei regime, expand Wang Jingwei's military power, and use China to control China.
The policy of advancing north is the consistent policy of the Japanese Army. The Army formulated many "Outline of National Defense Policy" that are very clear. The purpose of combat is to maintain Japan's hegemony in East Asia and eliminate all forces that block Japan. The first imaginary enemy of national defense is limited to the Soviet Union.
Secondly, Britain, the United States and other countries advocate that Japan should devote all its troops to implement the "Northern Advance" strategy with mainland China as the hinterland. After forcing the Soviet Union to surrender and eliminate the threat from the north, it will expand to the Pacific region. The Japanese Army's "Northern Advance"
"The diplomatic strategy of "in fact, advocates "north first, then south", and its purpose is to first solve the Soviet issue, and then seek a decisive battle with Britain and the United States. At this time, due to the assassination of Matsuoka Yooyou, Japan did not sign Japanese-Soviet friendship with the Soviet Union
In the neutral treaty, the German army attacked fiercely again, and the Japanese army's northern advancing factions could no longer sit still. They spoke one after another, supporting the Kwantung Army to start a war against the Soviet Union and cooperate with Germany, attacked the east and west, eliminated the Soviet Union in one battle, and completely eliminated the northern threat to the Great Japanese Empire.
The North Advance Sect also differed from the faction. Some of them believed that they should take the opportunity to attack the Soviet Union, but they had to control the scope of combat, which was limited to the Far East. When the Germans took Moscow, they negotiated with the German BB and demanded that Siberia be assigned to Japan.
The policy of advancing south is the central goal of Japan's naval national defense strategy. It believes that the number one imaginary enemy of the country is Britain and the United States, followed by the Soviet Union. It advocates that Japan should go to the South Pacific while ensuring the hegemony of East Asia.
Developing forces. The core purpose of this "Northward Advance Theory" is to expel British, American and other forces from Asia and the Pacific region, and realize Japan's plan to "dominate China and the Pacific region expansion."
In fact, as early as 1936, Hirota Hiroyi's cabinet, he formulated an outline for the use of military defense policy for the imperial defense policy to coordinate the northward and southward of the army and navy. He not only regarded the Soviet Union as a defense enemy, but also regarded the forces of Britain, the United States and other countries.
Exiting from the Pacific region as the current diplomatic focus is equivalent to establishing a strategy of moving forward together between the north and the south.
The reason for such a completely different contradiction strategy of the army and the navy is that the Japanese have no decisions in their minds and cannot see clearly how to fight to make the Japanese arriving as the Asian overlord.
At this time, the Japanese Navy's position changed. The current Navy Minister Oikawa Fushiro, the Joint Fleet Commander Iroji Yamamoto and others all had different opinions on the southward advance to fight against Britain and the United States. The key was that they accounted for a minority of the naval generals who attended the meeting.
.
The quarrel was so loud that the Military Affairs Director Akira Muto actually fought with the Minister of Operations Shinichi Tanaka or two on the spot.
Muto Akira had known that Su and Germany were going to fight, because he had a good relationship with Hiroshima Oshima, ambassador to Germany. Hiroshima Oshima sent him a telegram in advance, indicating that the battle between the Soviet and Germany was inevitable, and asked the army if they were willing.
Follow the Germans to pick up foreign lands.
Muto Akira was originally a staunch pioneer in aggression, but later he became the deputy chief of staff of the North China Front Army, his thoughts changed. He believed that China was vast and had a large population. If he persisted in the War of Resistance, Japan would be dragged down one day.
For Japan, the best choice is to truce negotiations, bring Manchu and Mongolia out of China, or to draw the territory of Japan. As for South China, Central China, and North China, it is possible to withdraw troops and restore the pre-war situation.
With this idea, after receiving a telegram from Hiroshima, Muto Akira found several more people to analyze, believing that the Soviet Union is as vast as China and has a deep war potential. Japan cannot conquer China, and Germany cannot conquer the Soviet Union. Japan still
It’s better not to wade into muddy waters.
Muto Akira expressed his ideas, and suggested that Japan should not be prepared to go south to Southeast Asia to fight, and the ending of the war with the United States was destined to be tragic. Japan only had Manchuria and Mongolia.
Muto Aki was angry! It was Japan's national policy and the dream of all warlords since the Meiji Restoration of Japan. This statement from Muto Aki is equivalent to
The dreams of these Showa warlords, big and small, have been extinguished.
In fact, Akira Muto is not a good person. His idea is very vicious, which is in line with the thoughts of Kanir Ishihara who is now transferred to the reserve service. It is only a little more conservative than Kanir Ishihara. If Japan really did as he said
Do it, Japan will neither fight against the Soviet Union nor the United States, and is willing to withdraw from North China, Central China, and South China. It is very likely that Chiang Kai-shek will agree to negotiate based on this condition. Even if Chiang Kai-shek does not negotiate with Japan, he will be conservative with Japan's national strength.
In the Northeast and Inner Mongolia, it will be difficult for the Chinese team to recover the rivers and mountains of the Northeast. By the end of World War II, Japan will not go to war with the United States and the Soviet Union will naturally not be a defeated country. Maybe when the Japanese see that Germany is in a desperate situation, they will send a
If a statement declares war on Germany, it will naturally be a victorious country. According to the usual trick of dividing spheres of influence in the history of the two major powers of the United States and the Soviet Union, the Northeast is likely to be assigned to Japan. The Chinese may have to bear unbearable pain.
Fortunately, at this time, the venue was filled with a group of aggressive men with a heightened attitude. Not only did no one listen to Muto Akira's words, but they caused saliva. No matter which faction was, they did not support him.
The Operations Minister of the General Staff Headquarters Shinichi Tanaka was a tough invasion and expansionist faction. After Muto Akira finished speaking, Shinichi Tanaka immediately slapped the table, quarreled with Muto Akira, and cursed. Muto Akira couldn't help it and rushed forward to Tanaka Shinichi.
One or two of them formed a ball.
The meeting could not continue, so Prime Minister Jin Wei Wenmo had to announce the recess and continued the next day.
For three consecutive days, the Japanese cabinet and base camp were holding contact meetings.
What Susanum and Hideki Tojo were most afraid of was that the navy did not cooperate, but in the end, what Susanum and Hideki Tojo did not expect was that the navy actually turned to support the war against the Soviet Union.
Historically, after the outbreak of the Soviet-German War, the Japanese Navy took the lead in proposing secretly to the base camp and cabinet on June 24.
The reason why the Navy turned was on the surface because it saw the fighter jets brought by Germany's blitzkrieg attack on the Soviet Union, but in fact there were factors that Oikawa Fushiro, Yamamoto Irojiro and others were unwilling to attack the United States.
At this time, the German army's blitzkrieg attack on the Soviet Union came one after another. German Ambassador to Japan Aut kept asking Japanese Foreign Minister Satojiro Toyota to receive him and forced the Japanese government to send troops to support the German army's war.
Ultra seemed to have seen through the Japanese's desire to enjoy their success, and clearly told Toyota that it would be too late to participate in sharing the results of the war when the German army took over Moscow. The head of state would not agree.
Although Satojiro Toyota has threatened Smetanen, the Soviet ambassador to Japan, this is a major event related to the national destiny. The headquarters and the government are still quarreling, and there is no conclusion. Satojiro Toyota dares not say nonsense, just tells him.
Ultra, Japan needs time to further analyze the situation.
Toyota Sashijiro, who returned to the venue, further informed the Germans of the request and the German army's war reports.
The German military's record stimulated the top Japanese troops and screamed. Think about it, in just a few days, the Germans captured more than 300,000 Soviet Red Army, destroyed Soviet aircraft, and seized more than 3,000 tanks. God, this is unwilling to bear to leave.
How jealous it is for the Japanese who equip the Army with heavy tanks!
Tojo Hideki and Susan Yuan were unwilling to make noise in the venue anymore. With the support of the navy, they were more confident, let alone the support of Prime Minister Komaki Koma?
Tojo Hideki and Shanshanyuan requested a meeting of imperial edicts to be held, and His Majesty the Emperor asked to make a decision!
