After receiving a call from Kita Seiichi, the commander of the Kwantung Army, Yamada Otsuzo, called Chief of Staff Akira Muto and said angrily: "Lieutenant General Kita Seiichi lacks offensive awareness and does not even understand the principle of rapid military speed. He actually proposed
They rested in hiding during the day and marched at night, and they even talked about seizing Taonan in a sudden move and setting up the general's headquarters in Taonan. What an idiot! Without even knowing the enemy's situation, they dared to make conclusive suggestions to the Kwantung Army headquarters.
Taonan is still more than 300 kilometers away from Siping Street. Under the control of our army, where does he need to occupy? What he should occupy is not Taonan, but Shuangliao County to the west of Siping, completely cutting off Liu Yimin's westward attack
Passage, copy Siping, Gongzhuling line of retreat of Liu Yimin's troops!".
The timidity and fear of death that Seiichi Kita hid under his self-conceited strategy was seen through by General Yamada Otsuzo at a glance!
Yamada Otsuzo was the director of education of the Japanese army before he became the commander of the Kwantung Army, and Akira Muto was the director of military affairs of the Japanese army before he became the chief of staff of the Kwantung Army. Regardless of their level of strategic and tactical skills, these two people at least had a very clear understanding of the Japanese generals.
They all know the strengths and weaknesses of Kita Seiichi. Needless to say, Kita Seiichi is such a big spy leader who single-handedly concocted the puppet regime in North China. Everyone in the Japanese army knows what he does and what he will do. As for the shortcomings, there are none.
With actual combat experience, letting him command the troops in combat may affect whether the campaign can achieve its goals.
The unlucky Kita Seiichi would never have imagined that his status in the eyes of General Yamada Otosan would plummet due to this show of talent!
The current situation on the battlefield is very delicate. Liu Yimin changed his deployment because the Japanese army in Changchun was completely alert and stopped attacking Changchun, leaving precious time for the Japanese army to assemble troops. However, Liu Yimin adjusted his deployment and gave up the siege of Changchun.
Reinforcement tactics. Yamada Otsuzo and Muto Akira's carefully conceived deployment of using Changchun as bait, encircling them on three sides, and gathering and annihilating the main force of Liu Yimin's troops under Changchun City was ineffective, and the conspiracy went bankrupt. No, as soon as the Northeast Democratic Anti-Japanese Allied Forces stopped
During the rapid attack, Yamada Otsuzo and Muto Akira couldn't tell what Liu Yimin was going to do. They could only continuously order the aviation force to carry out aerial reconnaissance and bombing, making sure to expose Liu Yimin's intentions and deployment. At the same time, they ordered all units, especially
The Puppet Manchuria National Defense Force dispatched many small reconnaissance and search teams to conduct infiltration reconnaissance in the direction of Liaoning, in an attempt to find out the location, numbers and strength of the units of the Northeast Democratic Alliance Army.
The reason why Yamada Otsuzo severely criticized Kita Seiichi was because he was confused at this time and couldn't figure out Liu Yimin's strategic intentions. However, he had to take action and couldn't watch Liu Yimin in Kanto Prefecture and Fengtian Province.
Jinzhou Province, Siping Province, and Andong Province sit tight. In that case, the next battle will be difficult to fight. Liu Yimin will expand his army on a large scale and will also use the arsenals in Fengtian and Dalian to produce weapons and ammunition. Over time, the Kwantung Army will
Food and grass are a problem, so what advantage can there be!
What Yamada Otsuzo hopes for the most is that Seiichi Kita can command the commander of the fully mechanized 23rd Division to drive straight in and tear a hole in the defense line of Liu Yimin's department, allowing Liu Yimin's hidden main force to surface. So that he can complete it immediately
The main force assembled pressed forward and crushed Liu Yimin's troops in one fell swoop.
In fact, Yamada Otsuzo also knew that his idea was a bit taken for granted. Liu Yimin was full of tricks and unpredictable troops. If he really allowed the 23rd Division to advance alone, it might become a gift to Liu Yimin. Therefore, although he Although he criticized Kita Seiichi, he still did not order Kita Seiichi to lead the 23rd Division directly south to occupy Shuangliao. Instead, he and Muto Akira studied the map carefully.
The Japanese army was able to invade more than half of China, move across Southeast Asia, and conquer the Far East. It was indeed a secret. Although Yamada Otsuzo was historically the last commander of the Kwantung Army and the only commander of the Kwantung Army to be captured. He was extremely cowardly, but the real two When the army was at war, this guy was very clear-headed and dispatched his troops in a clear-eyed manner.
Yamada Otsuzo now has capital in hand and is eager to act!
Although the Fourth Flying Group suffered heavy losses in the air raid on Shenyang on April 1, the Fifth Flying Group, which was much stronger than the Fourth Flying Group, rushed back. The reason why it is not engaged in the battle now is that Yamada Otsuzo is If you want to use it on the edge, wait until the war reaches a critical moment and all Liu Yimin's forces are exposed, and then let the Fifth Flying Group join the battlefield and slaughter Liu Yimin's main forces to their heart's content. Maybe they can achieve success with one blow and speed up the ground battle. win.
In order to support the Kwantung Army's operations, the Japanese Southern Army dispatched the Fourth Division to return reinforcements. Now the Fourth Division has completed its assembly and is preparing to board a ship and be transported back to the Northeast. Originally, the base camp ordered the Southern Army to dispatch four divisions to return to the Northeast. However, the Japanese army made a breakthrough in the Burmese War. General Terauchi Juichi wanted to completely eliminate the British army and the main force of the Indian servant army, so he could not mobilize too many troops for the time being. However, General Terauchi Juichi made it clear that the Southern Army would end the battle as soon as possible and deploy elite divisions at any time. Return to aid the Kwantung Army.
The North Korean army has completed its mobilization. The 19th and 22nd elite divisions and part of the Kwantung Army troops remaining in North Korea are gathering towards the Yalu River, preparing to retake Andong, which was captured by the Northeast People's Anti-Japanese Democratic Alliance Army, and restore Railway links between North Korea and Northeast China.
The commander of the North China Front, Okamura Neiji, finally breathed a sigh of relief after he fully realized that Liu Yimin led the main force to leave Shandong and enter the northeast. Now, he had absolutely enough troops in his hands, and he could mobilize a large army to attack the front line of Shanhaiguan and break through the customs. Contacted outside the customs. General Okamura Neiji said in a telegram to General Yamada Otsuzo that he was going to mobilize five divisions, two mixed corps brigades, and four North China Appeasement Army Groups to attack the Shanhaiguan line. Once After the troops are assembled, they can launch an attack at any time and cooperate with the Kwantung Army to eliminate Liu Yimin's department.
The First Division, the Seventh Division, and the Ninth Division are gathering towards Qingdao, waiting for the fleet returning from Southeast Asia to be shipped back to the Northeast.
For a time, the Japanese army was highly united and prepared to completely wipe out the Northeast People's Anti-Japanese Democratic Alliance Army.
After looking at the map for a while, Muto Akira turned to Yamada Otsuzo and said: "Your Excellency, Commander, the art of war in China is very good. All warriors use the right combination to win with surprise. Therefore, those who are good at surprising surprises are as good as heaven and earth." , endless like a river. The Japanese Army knows China's art of war well. Since the war began, every major battle has been a frontal attack, with surprise troops making detours and sneak attacks. Such as the Battle of Taiyuan, the Battle of Songhu, the Battle of Xuzhou, the Battle of Wuhan, the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain, etc. In these battles against Chiang Kai-shek's regular army, the Japanese Army's combination of odd and right tactics have achieved brilliant victories. As long as the roundabout troops appear in the rear of Chiang Kai-shek's troops, the enemy's defense line instantly collapses and enters a state of transfer and rout. The army could annihilate the enemy in pursuit. However, the imperial army's tactics failed in the battle with Liu Yimin. The roundabout and sneak attack troops often fell into Liu Yimin's ambush circle, ending up with the entire army annihilated. Over time, the imperial army not only did not dare to use One division is going to attack Liu Yimin's headquarters in a roundabout way, and even if it is two or three divisions attacking side by side, it is difficult to win, unless it is an elite standing division. For this reason, General Terauchi Juichi, the former commander of the North China Front, invented the counterattack Liu Yimin's department must implement the tactics of heavy encirclement and suppression. That is to say, to avoid the danger of a lone army, more than four divisions must be involved in each direction of attack, and they must form a group to attack and advance, just like the Chinese rolling mills. Use a powerful heavy army group Overwhelm all Liu Yimin's ambushes, sneak attacks and other attempts to ensure the safety of the attacking troops. This experience is worth learning from!"
Yamada Otsuzo said "hmm" and motioned for Muto Akira to continue.
Muto Akira continued: "I will consider that after the main force of our army is completely assembled, the troops will be divided into three routes to attack southward. The first route, that is, the west route, is composed of the Fifth Army and the Sixth Army, and will be commanded by the Sixth Army. Under the unified command of Lieutenant General Guandian Cunxiang, they attacked and advanced along the Tao'ang Railway and the Sitao Railway; the second road, that is, the middle road, consisted of the Third Army and the Kwantung Army's directly affiliated troops, the 2nd Armored Division and the 28th Division. The 53rd Division is composed of the Third Army Commander Lieutenant General Kawabe Masami and is used as the main offensive force. It goes south along the South Manchuria Railway; the third road, that is, the east road, is divided into the Fourth Army and the Twentieth Army. It is composed of the 14th Division directly under the Kwantung Army, commanded by Lieutenant General Hengshan Yong, commander of the Fourth Army, and moves south from Jilin. In this way, our three armies go straight to Shenyang and compress the main force of Liu Yimin's department to the Liaohe Plain. The order of operations is: First, the North China Front Army reinforcement group first launched a feint attack on the Shanhaiguan front line, attracting Liu Yimin to dispatch troops for reinforcements. Second, the North Korean army crossed the Yalu River and stormed Andong. The troops transferred back from the Southern Army served as the North Korean army's support troops, forcing Liu Yimin to divide his troops. Reinforcement. 3. Our three armies will come out and attack southward; 4. The 1st Division, 7th Division, and 9th Division that have withdrawn from Shandong will quickly land in the Huayuankou and Piziwo areas of the Liaodong Peninsula to cut off the enemy. Liu Yimin's troops have a way out. In this way, we have laid a dragnet. No matter how cruel Liu Yimin is, he has nowhere to escape."
After hearing this, Yamada Otsuzo re-examined the map.
Muto Akira added: "There are two surprise troops ambushed in this deployment. One is the First Division, the Seventh Division, and the Ninth Division that were withdrawn from Shandong. These are the three most elite divisions of the Kwantung Army. They are in Liaodong. After a successful landing, it will be like a sharp knife stabbed into Liu Yimin's butt. However, Liaodong was captured by Liu Yimin's troops. Based on Liu Yimin's character, I guess he will deploy heavy troops in Liaodong and use coastal defenses to block the landing troops. Therefore. , they must land when Liu Yimin's troops are in a bitter battle and mobilize reinforcements from Liaodong. Otherwise, they will hit the iron plate. The second is our West Route Attack Group. They have the First Tank Brigade and the mechanized The 23rd Division, as long as it is used properly, can march straight in and attack Fengtian when the battle situation enters a confrontation. As long as Fengtian is occupied, Liu Yimin's department will not be far away from being annihilated."
Yamada Otsuzo examined the map for a while and suddenly said: "Muto-kun, this plan is very feasible. But there are two changes. One is that the First Division, Seventh Division, and Ninth Division transferred back from Shandong are not in Liaodong. We landed at Piziwo and Huayuankou on the peninsula. We are familiar with this area, and Liu Yimin is also familiar with it. His troops should have landed here. We landed in the Yingkou area of Liaodong Bay instead, and the naval aviation was responsible for covering it. The second one was the west route. The Fifth Army and the Sixth Army should quickly move south along the Tao-Ang Railway and the Sitao Railway in a concealed manner, and proceed to the north of Shuangliao to assemble in concealment, so as to achieve the purpose of launching the campaign suddenly."
Muto Akira said worriedly: "Your Excellency, Commander, I am worried that if the Fifth Army and the Sixth Army stand out too much, they will fall into an ambush circle by Liu Yimin's troops."
Yamada Otsuzo nodded, said "hmm" again, and said: "This risk does exist. However, based on the current reconnaissance situation and reports from various units, Liu Yimin's troops have made no new moves since they captured Gongzhuling. They have only captured Gongzhuling. Guandong Prefecture, Fengtian Province, Siping Province, Jinzhou Province and Andong Province, and entered southern Jilin. No trace of Liu Yimin's department was found in Jehol Province and South Hungarian Province. The actions of the Fifth Army and the Sixth Army are safe. My analysis When Liu Yimin's troops first entered the Northeast, he needed time to stabilize his rear. If he attacked too fast, his troops would be scattered and the battle line would be too long. He would have to slow down his attack. Mr. Muto, what do you think?"
Without waiting for Muto Akira's answer, Yamada Otsuzo continued: "The Kwantung Army is known as the flower of the Japanese Army. It is invincible and has few opponents. Now, Liu Yimin dares to sneak attack on Kwantung Prefecture and Manchukuo. His conscience is greatly broken! At this time, the entire
This is the time when the Kwantung Army needs to attack bravely, and we will never allow the situation of being afraid of the enemy like a tiger!"
Yamada Otsuzo now had more troops than he imagined. He became more courageous and forgot about the incident when he was so frightened that he hid in the hospital and pretended to be sick after being summoned by the emperor to rule! This old devil really got used to it.
The theory that determines the brain.
Muto Zhang thought carefully for a while and felt that there was indeed no trace of Liu Yimin's troops in Hung Yen South Province. Even in Andong Province, Liu Yimin's troops were not fully occupied. There were garrisons and the Manchuria Defense Force troops were persisting in fighting. After calculation, Muto Zhang felt that Yamada Ou
The third modification was more bold and feasible, so he said: "Your Excellency, Commander, please formulate a combat plan based on the plan and submit it to the base camp for approval."
Yamada Otsuzo nodded again and said: "Muto-kun, please, you must do it quickly, quickly!"
As soon as Muto Akira touched his feet, he yelled "Hai" and was about to turn around and leave. Yamada Kazuzo stopped him and explained that this was a decisive battle that would determine the fate of Manchukuo and even the Empire of Japan, and he must use all his strength.
When formulating a combat plan, we must take into account forces such as the Manchurian Defense Force, Mongolian Army, and Far East Self-Defense Force, as well as the mobilization of soldiers in the countryside. For example, the Sixth Army of the West Route Army is weak.
We must consider the weak strength of the Fourth Army and the Twentieth Army of the Eastern Route Army. We must ensure that each attack group has sufficient strength so that Liu Yimin cannot ambush even if he wants to!
Muto Akira is not good at flattering, otherwise he would definitely say that the commander is wise. He just said "Hai" again and went to find the senior staff officer, operations director and others to formulate a detailed combat plan.
Yamada Otsuzo's office has returned to calm. This old devil is still meditating on the map. I wonder what new tricks he wants to play!
