"I don't think we can fight against the Chinese with these Americans using equipment that were eliminated from the battlefield. Although these things seem pretty good to us, they can't compete with the Chinese Type 35 tanks at all, let alone use them.
Say they are now equipped with a 46-ton 'Leopard' tank. Only after fighting them face to face can you understand how powerful they are." In a medical room at the Lantian training camp
Liu Benwuzuo had gauze wrapped around his head, and was recalling painfully his experience of fighting with the Republican army, with a hint of despair in his eyes.
Takesaku Yanagi and Tadao Kurirabayashi graduated from the Army University at the same time. Before the war, he served as a military officer in China for three years under Doihara. He later served as a military officer in the embassy in Germany and the United Kingdom. He has a unique view of the world's latest military technology trends.
Insights are one of the few armored warfare experts in the Japanese Army.
He served as the combat staff of the Army Operations Department. Because he supported Ishihara Kanir and strongly opposed the Army's combat against China, he was exiled to the First Cavalry Brigade as the brigade commander in disguise.
Liu Ben once made a very fierce saying: "War with the Chinese is a suicide. Under normal circumstances, Japan should have destroyed its country within half a year!" This sentence seemed ridiculous at the beginning, "traitorous argument",
Now it has come true. The First Brigade of the Japanese Army Cavalry was one of the first batch of armored troops rebuilt in the Army Province. It was originally highly expected by the military headquarters, but unexpectedly, in the battlefields of Manchuria and Korean, this armored force was in front of the Republican Army.
But it seemed vulnerable. After three battles, a chariot brigade with more than 10,000 troops was finally left with less than 700 people.
However, Liu Ben did not choose to commit suicide and apologize like other army officers. Instead, he submitted a resignation report to the Army Province as unprecedented, and was demoted to a soldier. No one could persuade him, which made the entire Army Province look disgraceful.
After Ishihara became the Chief of Staff, he once asked him to serve as the Army's Minister of Operations, but Liumoto refused to do so, saying that in the face of a war that was doomed to fail, it would be nothing more than to let more young people die. He did not have this.
It is safer to be a veteran honestly.
The big men of the army were helpless. They could only send this guy who spread pessimistic arguments all day to the Australian engineering troops to renovate the airport and barracks. Later, Mine presided over the reorganization of the military in Australia. Liu Ben, a headache-inducing figure, was also a headache.
He was thrown to the Navy by Australian Army Commander Imamura.
This former major general of the Army Chariot Force is now affiliated with the Engineering Brigade of the Landia Training Base.
"The Americans promised to provide us with some Pershing heavy tanks, so that we would be slightly better. Only when we show enough strength on the battlefield will the Americans fully support our restoration!" said Tadako Li Lin.
"Restoring the country? What a joke, can the Americans defeat China? I don't think that their navy had just suffered a big defeat. Although the newspapers boasted that the Pacific Fleet won the Battle of the Solomon Sea, Halsey
Why did they run back to Hawaii, while Fletcher's South Pacific Fleet retreat from Townsville to Brisbane? Obviously, the Americans suffered a greater loss in the Battle of Solomon," said Takezuo Liumoto.
"General Ishihara will arrive in Australia in a few days. He has now retreated to Alaska, and the Emperor and the Cabinet are in the United States. General Mine and Commander Yamamoto will also come from the Arika base in Chile. We are from the country and North Manchuria.
Withdrawal of 3.5 million troops. This is a very important force!" Li Lin said, "Add the Shanghai Army. We have more than four million troops, even more than all British troops."
"These white people are using us to fight for them, but they will never really want to help us restore our country." Liu Benbuen said, "When fighting with them, you must always worry about when they will throw them away.
You run away.”
"The Australians were quite tenacious in New Guinea. Their two divisions stubbornly blocked the attack of the Chinese army in a land brigade in the battle of the Central Mountains. You must know that the Marines are the elite of the Chinese army." Li Lin
The middle way said.
"That's because the advantage of the China Army's tanks and armored vehicles cannot be exerted in the mountainous jungle areas, and the number of airports on Ilian and New Britain is not enough, so they cannot seize the air superiority. I think in the central mountain, the China Army took the initiative to retreat.
They have time. Unlike the Imperial Army's policy, the Chinese have strong long-lasting combat capabilities. There are only three countries in the world who can fight stronger and stronger, one is the United States, one is China, and the other is the Soviet Union.
"Wuzuo Liu Ben said, "You don't have to look at me like this. Soviet Russia has been defeated by the Chinese people many times. It was defeated by Napoleon before, and we also defeated Cong. Now it is fighting the German attack with all its might, why do I make them feel good?
The United States or China are comparable. But what I want to say is that no one can really defeat them. Although they have repeatedly defeated each other, they all ended up laughing to the end."
"What about this time?" Li Lin said, "The Germans are almost fighting in Moscow."
"This time, it's not possible. The Germans do not have the ability to defeat the Russians alone, unless the Chinese are sending troops together." Liu Ben said, "But the war has been going on for nearly five months, and the Chinese are not interested in taking action at all. I can even determine that
, If the Russians really can't support them, the Chinese will instead help the Russians."
"Why, they are mortal enemies?" Li Lin said.
"There are no eternal friends, and enemies sometimes join forces. A strong Germany is not in the interests of the Chinese. We all misread it at the beginning. It was the British who fell into the trap set by the Chinese, and we also jumped down.
.Then, the entire war was always in the Chinese plan." Liu Ben said, "This part of the situation was beyond the situation, but I could see the whole situation more clearly. The biggest variable now is the Americans, but
I don't think they will fight against the Chinese for us, at the right time, or when the Chinese make their satisfaction concessions, or when the Americans think that the benefits at too much cost are not cost-effective
, They will have peace talks with the Chinese people.”
"Will peace talks guarantee Japan's interests?" Li Lin said to herself, as if he had seen a terrible result.
"Impossible, we are just some bargaining chips, unless we can fight back by ourselves, but we don't have the strength. The Americans will fully support us in fighting the Chinese people to the death, but we only have four million people. If we die,
The Japanese Empire was gone." Liumoto said, "Kun Rirama, in future battles, you must preserve your strength."
"Well, I will remember it." Li Lin said, "These soldiers are our capital. If they lose, they will lose everything. Why don't you want to return to the military headquarters?"
"If the military headquarters could be reorganized according to the American organization and formed the Supreme Command of the Army and Navy, instead of like now, I would consider it." Liu Ben said.
