Volume 4: The Great Era Chapter 170

Wu Wei was very lucky. As the first wave of Japanese divisions to land, his mission was to land on the Malay Peninsula. A total of three Japanese divisions and two mixed brigades, the Tenth Army, landed on the Malay Peninsula.

, the commander is Yamashita Fengfumi. History is such an amazing coincidence. Yamashita Fengfumi is still the backbone of the Imperial Road Sect. He has not experienced the baptism of the 226 coup. The internal struggle in the Japanese Army is still fierce, which also led to Yamashita Fengfumi being nothing more than a Chinese soldier.

The rank of general is in command of the Tenth Army.

Yamashita once worked with Wu Wei when he was in the military, and he has always admired this genius strategist of the Japanese Army. Yamashita is a firm supporter of mechanized warfare, which is completely consistent with Wu Wei. However, due to the lack of resources, Japan

It is difficult for the army's mechanized troops to form a large scale. All the assets are added up, but there are only three mechanized divisions, not to mention the quality of the tanks. The tanks that the Japanese themselves jokingly call bean tanks are actually the main force. This kind of thing

It's okay to bully the natives of Southeast Asia. Japan in this time and space, after seeing China's vigorous efforts to build mechanized troops, also began to increase investment in this direction. However, Japanese tanks are still not good. The most advanced ** medium tanks in China

In people's eyes, it is also a light tank. The 57mm short-barreled main gun is far behind the 88mm tank gun of the Great Wall Type IV tank previously equipped by China.

The fleet was sailing on the sea. Yamashita specially invited Wu Wei into his command room. After placing two side dishes and a bottle of sake, Yamashita made an invitation gesture and said: "When I was at the military headquarters, I drank a lot of river fields."

Your wine is a bit of a return gift today."

Wu Wei was not polite. He picked up the glass and drank it. He put down the glass and said with emotion: "Yamashita-kun, if you just come to invite me to drink, I don't think this wine is enough. Tell me, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"Kawada-kun is indeed an army genius, so let me tell you the truth. I would like to ask Kawada-kun to talk about his thoughts on this horse-launched battle." Yamashita showed an earnest look in his eyes. He had already heard of Kawada's reputation for strategic prediction.

.

"Yamashita-kun, you asked the wrong person. You should ask Yamamoto-kun who went on an expedition a week ago, instead of asking me about an army. There is only one key to fighting south, and that is sea control. Gaining sea control is equivalent to gaining air control.

.With these two rights, the British and Dutch ground troops are simply vulnerable." Wu Wei said as he poured himself a drink and quickly recalled the materials he had received before departure.

"Suppose the navy can gain control of the sea and our army can successfully land?" Yamashita asked from a different angle. Wu Wei smiled slightly and said: "Yamashita-kun is obviously confident, why do you still ask me? Since you have asked, I will tell you directly.

The journey from Japan to Nanyang involves thousands of miles of sea travel. With the empire's current maritime transportation capabilities, it is difficult to meet the logistical needs of our army in time. Therefore, once we land, we must move quickly. The terrain of Nanyang is not suitable for mechanized marches.

, then change the way of marching, and do it as fast as possible. If you have a horse, ride a horse, if you don’t have a horse, you can have a bicycle, but it must be fast. Map!"

The guard quickly brought a map. After unfolding it, Wu Wei looked like he was pointing out the country. He raised his hand and pointed: "Here is the British defense line, the Kedah Line. My point of view is to focus on the central part."

After breaking through the defense line, advance quickly without giving the British army a chance to breathe. Our army's route of action must try to avoid the front of the British defense line and use more flanks."

These words really spoke to Yamashita Fengwen's heart. He looked at Wu Wei with admiration, bowed and said: "Kawada-kun, you are really amazing. You are worthy of being the strategic genius of the Japanese Army."

"A genius? Is that a genius?" Wu Wei said in his heart, looking in the direction of Yanjing. After being shocked many times, his numb heart began to rise and fall slightly again. In this state, Shanxia's eyes did not

I think he is arrogant, but I think genius should be like this.

"Kawada-kun, what are you thinking about?" Yamashita couldn't help but ask. Wu Wei sighed and said, "I'm thinking that on that continent, Japan has a powerful neighbor. The empire only relies on the navy.

We cannot let that neighbor let the empire go to the mainland. After going south, we must quickly seize resources and quickly develop new tanks to equip the army. Only in this way will we have the right to speak on the mainland. At present, China is controlled by the Lu Kingdom.

It is a great opportunity given to the empire by God. The war between the two largest countries on the continent can take as little as three years or as long as five years. Therefore, we do not have much time, so we must be quick."

Yamashita Fengwen said this with excitement. He couldn't help but pat his thigh and said: "Kawada-kun, your strategic vision is far-sighted and profound, which is amazing. We are still immersed in the joy of going south, but you have already

Looking at the battlefield on the mainland in the distance."

"Yamashita-kun, don't think about it. The Chinese Army has fifteen mechanized corps, which is at least forty-five tank brigades. You should know what this means. According to the intelligence provided by the intelligence department, the Chinese new tanks have been

The frontal armor can no longer be penetrated by the Soviet-made 76mm cannon. It has only been twenty-nine years since China overthrew the Manchu rule, and its industrial capabilities have already left the empire far behind. Especially their leader Fang Jianxiong is a

Great man, your Excellency, imagine that there are at least one million Jews in China serving China's industry. These Jews have all fled from Europe. They used to think that China's education was backward, but in the past twenty-nine years, they have

Changed all this. In terms of overall national quality, China is not as good as Japan, but in terms of specific numbers, it has surpassed Japan. In 29 years, China's compulsory education has trained at least 80 million usable people.

Manpower for industrial development. And among these 80 million people, not more than 10 million people join the army, which is enough to make the whole world fearful. In today's China, you must not make an enemy of China unless it is absolutely necessary."

The military conference in Yanjing is still in progress. After it is determined that the Japanese army will go south, the tone of dispatching a certain number of troops to the north has been set. The specific number depends on Duan Feng, a logistics official. So everyone is watching.

Looking at him, Duan Feng scratched his head and said: "Don't look at me, this depends on the transportation capacity. The transportation capacity of the railway is limited. Currently, there is only one railway to Central Asia, which can sustain the operation of two million troops.

, mainly rely on a lot of materials produced nearby in Xinjiang Province. The main role of the railway is to transport equipment that cannot be produced in Xinjiang Province. Of course, this is only at the current stage. If the front is pushed forward, with the existing domestic production capacity and transportation capacity, it will be completely

Relying on railway transportation is fatal. Therefore, everyone must have a clear understanding. Once the front advances two hundred kilometers, the preparation period for the next battle will be extended by one to two months. The current domestic military production

We have begun to make efforts, but the problem of human resources has always been the main factor restricting military production. In the past, it was fine if Europe was not at war. Now that Europe is at war, it is difficult for us to introduce talents from Europe and the United States."

This was a reminder to the General Staff that these factors must be taken into consideration when formulating plans in the future. While the meeting was in progress, the director of the Intelligence Division came in and sent an urgent telegram from the Central Asia Military Region. Xu Shuzheng took the telegram, handed it to Fang Jianxiong and said: "This

Liu Mingzhao, with his great courage, dug a big hole to bury Pavlov, relying on his abundant military resources."

Fang Jianxiong said nothing after reading the telegram and handed it to Leng Yu. After Qi Zhenghong and others circulated it, Qi Zhenghong clicked his tongue and said: "It's incredible. Will this Pavlov fight? The Soviet army was obviously defeated in the battle in East Kazakhstan.

If I were him and wanted to run away all night, he would be better off continuing the attack. What is going on? Did the Soviet army receive reinforcements again? Or did our intelligence department not find out?"

Leng Yu said: "Impossible. The last time we were attacked secretly by the Soviet army, it was because neither side declared war. The density of aerial reconnaissance in the Central Asian theater is very high now. According to the current situation, the Soviet army will have to increase its troops by at least five

One hundred thousand is needed to maintain stability in Central Asia, let alone attack. Such a huge military mobilization cannot be concealed."

"So, Pavlov is gambling?" Xu Chongzhi was startled by his idea, but he quickly received recognition from Fang Jianxiong: "Yes, he is gambling. This is a sequelae of the expansion of the suppression of counterrevolutionaries.

, Pavlov wanted to save his own life, so he didn't care so much, he could only take a gamble. Liu Mingzhao was on the front line, and he could clearly see the Soviet army's combat intentions, so he boldly proposed to postpone the counterattack later.

Be more prepared for the battle. The key now is Zhang Xinchen. Whether Bishkek can be defended in street fighting is the key."

"The telegram said that the Second and Third Divisions of the Mountain Army had already reinforced Bishkek before the railway was cut off. It was after seeing this that Liu Mingzhao thought it was possible to fight like this. Although the heavy equipment of the Mountain Division was not

There are many, but the basic equipment is a submachine gun, which the Soviet army cannot match. Once entering street fighting, the advantages of submachine guns have been verified in previous exercises. I think this tactical intention is very good and can be realized. To be honest, this

At that time, I cared more about Andijan."

"There is no need to worry about Andiyan. It was originally built as a fortress. Now Xu Tingyao has at least 100,000 troops, and with the mobilization of local reserves, he can arm at least three rifle divisions." Fang Jianxiong is not worried about Andiyan.

The place is backed by the Pamir, and the Soviet army passed through the Fergana Valley. The logistics transportation line is very long. It was not the main attack direction in the first place.

"Then just reply to Liu Mingzhao. I think the newly formed Mustang fighter wing of the Air Force can be transferred to Central Asia." Xu Shuzheng was waiting for Fang Jianxiong's decision. Fang Jianxiong shook his head and said: "The newly formed wing of the Air Force cannot be moved.

Our negotiations with the British have ended. The British army has agreed to withdraw from Burma. Let's send a regiment to the British in advance, otherwise it will not be justified."
