Hashimoto Ryuichi did not explain what the strange-looking tube was. [.Com text] Instead, he first picked up a rifle and said: "Sir, this is a German rifle, which is good. But look at the inscription on it, it is both
It is not a so-called official rifle produced by the Chinese government, nor is it a product of Germany or other countries that produce such rifles, such as the Czech Republic. It is a 79-caliber imitation of the German Type 24 made in Poland and used as its standard rifle.
The rifle of the rifle. It has the eagle of the Polish Army on it."
"I checked the files and found that there is a batch of German weapons in the secret warehouse in Qunce Mountain. They were German rifles that the empire spent money to snap up in order to cut off the Chinese government's channels for importing weapons. But this batch of German rifles were made in the Czech Republic.
, there are no weapons made in Poland.”
"And I also checked some information about their equipment that was handed over by the Kwantung Army's intelligence department. During last year's battle, we found Italian rifles, American-made Russian rifles, French rifles, and so-called Czech-made and former Northeast Arsenal production rifles.
Liao Type 13. But no Polish-made weapons have ever been found, I’m sure of that.”
"There is also this kind of Browning light machine gun, which is also copied from Poland and used as the army's standard light machine gun. It is not an original Belgian product imported by the Chinese government forces, nor is it a copy produced by a certain Chinese warlord. They are all genuine.
Polish goods. And even if they were imported by the Chinese government or produced by a certain warlord in the mainland, how did they transport them to northern Manchuria across the area occupied by the imperial army?"
"You must know that they have no land lines of communication. All land routes between them and the so-called Guan Nei are controlled by the imperial army. It is even impossible to have sea routes. They have no ports and no coastline. Air transportation is also impossible. They simply cannot
There are no planes and no pilots. Sir, I'm afraid there is some secret behind the origin of these weapons."
Ryuichi Hashimoto's words made Shigeichi Namada slightly stunned: "Rifles made in Poland? Where did they come from? During the battle last year, they were all Japanese-style weapons, and a batch of weapons seized from the secret warehouse of the Northeastern China warlords
Miscellaneous weapons. Where did they get the Polish rifles?”
"Moreover, Poland is now occupied by the German army, and Germany is now an ally of the empire. Even if the Germans capture Polish weapons and equipment, they will not sell them to them. Moreover, they have no channels and funds to import these weapons and equipment."
Hashimoto Ryuichi smiled confidently and said: "Your Excellency, I would like to remind you that Poland is not completely occupied by Germany, half of it is also occupied by another country. And this country was captured during the so-called liberation operation.
There were more than 200,000 Polish prisoners of war. If you think about the more than 200,000 Polish prisoners of war, even if two-thirds of them were equipped with weapons, you can imagine the weapons captured among them."
"Your Excellency, please don't forget that it was this country that sold a large amount of arms to the China government after the empire cut off all channels for purchasing weapons from the China government. It was this batch of arms that enabled the China government to be in trouble at home and abroad.
The resistance was still maintained despite the situation. The fighter jets it provided quickly restored China's weakened aviation force and caused great losses to the Imperial aviation force."
Having said this, Hashimoto Ryuichi picked up the strange-looking iron pipe and said: "As for this, it should be a lightweight weapon produced by them themselves. And it is from the surviving officers and soldiers of the tank regiment assigned to the Eighth Division.
According to the description, this weapon should have certain anti-tank performance. A considerable number of tanks in one of their tank regiments were destroyed by this light artillery."
"It's a pity that the shells used by this artillery were not captured this time, otherwise we could have seen the real power of this weapon. However, according to the description of the tank soldiers, the range of this weapon is not very far, and the effective range is only two
Three hundred meters, there is no way to compare it with a real artillery. Its power is far from the Empire's standard brigade gun Type 92 Infantry Cannon."
"But Lieutenant General, this is not simply a question of one kind of weapon. Judging from the quantity of their weapons and equipment, two problems can be explained. One is that their military industry now has the ability to design weapons independently.
Second, it also means that they are currently unable to produce equipment above artillery, and can only use this simple weapon instead."
"Your Excellency, although we still have no way of knowing how much their military production capacity is. But one thing we must understand is that even if the military factory can be hidden, it is impossible for them to hide the supporting facilities of the military factory, such as the steel plant.
Our aviation forces conducted careful reconnaissance of their depth and found no facilities such as steel plants."
"That is to say, even if they have military production capacity, it is only a basic industry. Supporting facilities, raw materials for explosives, and various steel materials required for production all need to be imported, at least re-exported. Although I don't know what they need
Where did the funds come from, but one thing is for sure that it has something to do with a certain country. At least they should have obtained certain loans."
After listening to Hashimoto Ryuichi's analysis, Namada Juichi frowned and said: "Hashimoto-kun, what I need more now is to find out how many reserve soldiers they have? What is their ammunition production and replenishment capabilities? As for
There is nothing we can do over there. I have to remind you now that matters over there should be communicated between the General Staff Headquarters and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs."
"For us, the most important thing is to find out how much ability they have to continue fighting. Especially how many soldiers they have and how many new troops they can emerge. How many troops the imperial army still needs to mobilize?
Only by joining the war can we eliminate them cleanly and completely."
"Every Imperial soldier is precious. And during the time you are thinking about these useless things, an entire Imperial division plus two elite field regiments, as well as a large number of heavy artillery and tank troops,
It was wiped out in ashes. And now I don’t even have a piece of real information about the opponent’s military strength.”
"As your elder, as your old commander, and as your military guardian. Hashimoto Ryuichi, I have to remind you once again that what I need now is intelligence, intelligence about everything on the battlefield. Not these should
Matters for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to deal with.”
Hashimoto Ryuichi was quite dissatisfied with Hatada Shigeichi's words and said disapprovingly: "Your Excellency, Commander, when we analyze the enemy's situation, we must do everything down to the smallest detail, and we must investigate carefully, and we must not let go of any clues.
Their sources of arms, their troop structure, and from these circumstances we can infer whether they have the ability to fight for a long time. This is very important to us whether we can completely defeat them."
"If their ammunition reserves cannot sustain long-term operations, then they must find a quick and decisive combat method. If they can last, then they can fight us for a long time and have the ability to expand outward at any time. Analyze them
, and find out their weaknesses on the battlefield, so that we can better find a way to deal with them. Isn't that what the empire did on the battlefield in China?"
"Your Excellency, Commander, there is one thing I think you should know. Intelligence work is a matter that requires patience and carefulness. Tactical intelligence is required, but more importantly, strategic intelligence. Comprehensive analysis of all strategic resources of the opponent in order to make judgments
Only by showing how much war potential they have can the empire be in an invincible position."
These words of Ryuichi Hashimoto made Juichi Namada frown deeply: "Hashimoto-kun, I don't want to say it a second time. You have to clarify your responsibilities. You are the Field Intelligence Squadron of the Fifth Army.
The squadron leader is not a staff officer of the Kwantung Army’s intelligence department, let alone a senior staff officer of the base camp’s intelligence department.”
"Your duty is to provide battlefield intelligence analysis and judgment for the army commander to command operations, rather than to talk about strategic resources with me here. Intelligence, I want intelligence now. The opponent's weapons and equipment, the number of soldiers, all this, not these
Something ethereal."
Hashimoto Ryuichi was a little angry when he saw Juichi Namada, and he kept his mouth shut sensibly. He knew that the lieutenant general whose temper had changed drastically since he was promoted to army commander had reached the limit of his patience. If this were the case for the former Namada,
Detachment, this loudmouth has been slapped here for a long time. If the war situation is unfavorable, he will not care whether you are a confidant or a capable general.
Namada Juichi looked at Hashimoto Ryuichi who was shut up, pointed at the pile of weapons and equipment in front of him and said: "I will give you three more days, no matter how much you pay, you have to destroy them.
Find out the strength of the troops. Otherwise, you have to go to the front line to command operations. Now the squadron captains of the divisions on the front line have suffered heavy casualties, and they are in urgent need of additional officers."
"Either I will discuss with the Kwantung Army Headquarters and transfer you to the Kwantung Army Special Intelligence Department, which is more suitable for you. It will also give you more time to prepare and apply for the Army University. That will be good for your future.
It’s more beneficial. You go down first and think about what to do.”
When Ryuichi Hashimoto heard what Juichi Namada said, he was slightly startled and said: "Your Excellency, Commander, if you think that I am not qualified for the position of captain of this field intelligence squadron, I would rather go to the front line to fight. As long as I can be under your command
, it doesn’t matter which division.”
"I came from a poor family. It was you who brought me out of the poor fishing village in Hokkaido and recommended me to the Army Sergeant School. It was you who changed my life and made me grow from a fisherman who was destined to be a fisherman.
An imperial army officer. You are not only my boss and idol, but in my heart you are my benefactor. As long as I can fight under your command, even death in battle will be glorious."
In response to Hashimoto Ryuichi's words, Namada Juichi waved his hand and said: "Don't rush to conclusions yet, go back and think about it carefully before giving me an answer. You go back first and seize the time to interrogate the prisoners of war. You must do it before
Get the information we urgently need in the shortest possible time."
Having said this, Bo Tianzhong paused and said: "But this time you have finally found out one thing, which can be regarded as an explanation. Half a year before the war, seven or eight days after the battle started, you finally have an answer sheet.
You go down first and finish the things I told you. As for other things, we can talk about them after a while."
