Besides, even now after the army has been expanded many times, the commander of an army is already a very high position, not to mention the only armored army in Japan. As long as Shinozuka Yoshio does not commit the unforgivable crime of rebellion,
Otherwise, generally speaking, you will not die. It is mainly the lower-level officers who frequently commit seppuku. However, the senior Japanese officers generally cherish their lives.
However, the main reason why Yoshio Shinozuka was able to escape was that the Japanese suffered a heavy loss again. Once there were too many generals who suffered defeats, the punishment would naturally be lenient. "The law does not punish everyone."
"This phenomenon is not unique to the country.
After defeating Japan's First Mecha Army with the cooperation of the Air Force, Sun Liren wanted to take advantage of the victory and seize the opportunity to capture the originally established defense line in the south while tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers were panicking. However, considering that the enemy was behind him,
The hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops in Xuzhou, if the new 38th Division is slower, will be defeated by ghosts
If the enemy rushes to increase troops first, it will not be easy to capture. And even if the southern defense line is successfully captured, the new 38th Division will directly face Japan's huge army of at least 500,000 people.
On the original defense line in the south, the New 38th Division may not be able to hold on under the crazy Japanese counterattack.
No matter how much Liren trusted his subordinates, he only had more than 30,000 troops. At the same time, due to the limitation of the Soviet aircraft's range, the Soviet aid air force could only barely fly to the southern defense line. Not only was it far inferior in performing its mission,
Internal combat is so convenient and flexible, but the actual combat effectiveness is greatly reduced.
Just like the German Air Force during the London Air Battle in history. When the Japanese army basically occupied the air superiority, no matter how proud Sun Liren was, he would not dare to use his troops to fight an enemy twenty times his size, even if he only
You need to hold on for 3 days to wait for reinforcements from the Army Group Headquarters.
Isn’t it one hundred thousand? After some discussion, the generals unanimously agreed that the New 38th Division would be responsible for tearing open the enemy’s defense line and transfer it to them immediately after capturing the forward positions. After all, they still have some ability in attacking and defending frontal positions.
What's more important is that there are enough people to withstand the consumption. As for the penetration and penetration that they fear most, it is left to soldiers with strong mobility and brave generals.
Jing's New 38th Division came to deal with it. Since there is a natural barrier formed by Dushan Lake and Weishan Lake in the west, the New 38th Division actually only needs to protect the east side. The task is not too heavy, and it has enough power to provide powerful forces to the east.
artillery support. From this, the first and last coordinated operation between the Fifteenth Army and the Kuomintang Army in history began.
At this time, there were still more than 30,000 Japs on the southern front of the Japanese army. However, in addition to the new defeat, they saw that the Imperial Armored Forces, which had always been envious and jealous, were also severely defeated. Their morale fell to the bottom before they could regain their fighting strength. And among the generals in the team
Those officers and soldiers who were seriously injured were sent to Jinan for treatment and could devote themselves fully to the battle. They also received strong artillery support from the New 38th Division. They captured many positions from the Japanese without much effort. The battle went smoothly.
They themselves were surprised.
However, as soon as the Japanese North China Front Army Headquarters received news of the defeat of the First Mecha Army, it immediately realized the seriousness of the problem, so it almost immediately dispatched the only two "mechanized" divisions of the current army.
On the front line, one is the fifth division that was rebuilt after being wiped out, and the other is participating in actual combat for the first time since the Russo-Japanese War.
The Japanese "Royal Guards" in the war - the Guards Division. Although the so-called "mechanized" troops of the Japanese were actually only motorized, car wheels are at least faster than human feet, especially this area is all plain terrain.
.And the distance was originally closer to the Japanese side. In the end, the Japanese reinforcements finally arrived before the team could capture the entire defense line.
rushed to the battlefield to join the battle, but at this time, the Japanese planes had already come in several waves. Frightened by the threat from the air, the powerful artillery unit of the New 38th Division had to temporarily adopt a "hit and run" strategy to maneuver and
Camouflage to avoid Japanese air strikes. But in this way, it will be difficult to provide continuous and reliable fire support. As for Soviet aid
Although the air force is still invincible in large formations, due to range limitations, the Soviet aid air force now takes two to three hours at the fastest each time, and the aircraft only stay over the battlefield for more than ten minutes before having to return in a hurry. Although compared with ri
The exchange ratio of aircraft is still good, but due to the sharp drop in the number of missions, the help to the ground troops is far from what it was before.
The bombardment of the M40 rocket launcher can end in just 20 seconds, so there is enough room for movement and concealment, and the enemy's planes have never been injured at all.
Although the two divisions were aware of the terrifying power of this new weapon before the battle, were somewhat psychologically prepared, and dispersed their formations appropriately to reduce the lethality of the rocket launchers, they were unable to do so without the protection of fortifications.
The open area was suddenly covered by such fierce firepower, and the casualties were still very high. Because of this, the two most elite permanent divisions of the Japanese army, with the support of the army aviation fleet, were still unable to do anything to those tens of thousands of people in the original fifth theater.
The remaining soldiers were defeated.
Despite this, as the temporary commander-in-chief, Chen Mingren still felt great pressure. Although the Japanese army was beaten badly by the unpredictable rocket launchers and the few but large-scale air strikes, the two permanent divisions with the best equipment of the Japanese army
The group is still not that easy to deal with,
And with them as the backbone, the Japs who were defeated before quickly got back on their feet. In addition, because the Soviet Union in this time and space was too powerful, the United States no longer only did business with the Japs as it had in history, but also provided loans, including
Even direct transfer of some technologies
Even though the Japanese suffered a series of disastrous defeats in the war of aggression against China, and the scale of the army has continued to expand, the level of weapons and equipment has not declined significantly. The average number of advanced equipment such as cars, tanks, and aircraft compared to the total number of Japanese troops is even
There are more than the same period in history. In addition,
The Japanese side has mastered air superiority in a period of more than 100 years. Therefore, although one of these two divisions is nicknamed the "Flower Division" in Japan, and the other was rebuilt after being annihilated again, and the quality of the soldiers is not as good as before, but
