~《》~    Chapter 535 Vibration

(...No one expected that the war in Daya Bay anti-landing war would be such a record-breaking result. This result had a great impact on the changes in the entire anti-Japanese war situation. Later we learned why the Battle of Nomenkan was so big and we fought so badly in Guangdong... Excerpted from "My Reminders of the War of Resistance - Cao Xiaomin")

I annihilated nearly 40,000 enemies in one day and one night? Haha, how is it possible!? For some reason, Cao Xiaomin, who has repeatedly created miracles, was not raised to patrol again after the final battle in Daya Bay. On the contrary, many newspapers in Chongqing questioned this data: how many hours a day and how many minutes a day and how many hours a day and how many hours a day and how many hours a day and a few people are? On average, we have to annihilate few enemies every hour!? Everyone just turned their attention to the amazing one day and one night and killed 20,000 people...

"A general succeeds and thousands of bones are woven..." This is a polite comment, "Who summons the souls for 20,000 soldiers?!" "One commander, 20,000 dead soldiers" and other editorial comments began to fill various tabloids...

"What's going on?" After reading the battle report, Chiang Kai-shek put some tabloids collected by his subordinates from the street on the table. Chen Lifu in front of him had a grim face: "Over the past period of time, our relationship with the Soviet Union has gradually become warmer, and some people have taken advantage of the situation... Now most universities across the country have moved to Chongqing, and many schools require school newspapers because they are only circulating in schools. Most of the people who make the request are celebrities and scholars, so we have just criticized some..."

"Okay, the school newspapers are all circulated outside the school?" Chiang Kai-shek sneered slightly: "You are going to ban the school newspaper and collect the printing press now. Is it a matter of hindering freedom of speech? Will there be several incidents of military and police shooting students in Chongqing?"

Chen Lifu didn't dare to say too much. He really didn't expect that schools would do such a big thing to do. Who would have thought that so many students would take the school newspapers outside the school to be distributed?

"Don't use excessive means, but the situation must be controlled. Also, send someone to Guangdong to interview Liehou immediately, tell him the matter, and see what countermeasures he has..." Chiang Kai-shek said with a cold face: "Don't think that this is attacking him alone, this is someone who wants to push down one of our flags! ... Check who is gloating during this period, and focus on me!"

Chiang Kai-shek, who had never issued a direct order to interfere with the Central Commission for Work, was really angry this time: he had already understood the importance of propaganda, but now he found that the enemy's propaganda war actually launched a counterattack in Chongqing!

Can we really eliminate so many Japanese people in one day and one night? The official position is bigger and the cowhide is bigger... Chiang Kai-shek shook his head and smiled bitterly - he himself didn't believe in this data! Annihilation of more than 30,000 Japanese troops was nearly 40,000, and even a large-scale battle lasting one or two months may not be possible. But Cao Xiaomin did it overnight in Daya Bay? This is impossible! Of course, for publicity and for the overall situation, as long as Daya Bay is saved, he must support him... Alas, it's a pity that a tiger general, after he is in a high position, he will inevitably fight a battle of face with heavy casualties and falsely report the results...

"Our army is estimated to be casualties... It should be said that about 35,000 people were basically killed in battle..." Seishiro Itagaki was almost exhausted in the conference room of the base camp in Tokyo: "The landing war is no longer the previous landing war. After the troops got ashore, they were unable to advance quickly and were squeezed on the beach... What do you think? How should we face the people?"

The conference room of the base camp was so quiet that even mosquitoes could hear it clearly. No general dared to speak. It was not that he had tried to get rid of more than 30,000 people. When he fought against Cao Xiaomin, the evil star, was he not suffering heavy casualties? But throwing almost all the landing troops in one day and one night was something that had never been done in the history of the Japanese Empire.

"I think we shouldn't bear too much on the casualties..." Okamura Yanji finally spoke at the suggestion of Seishiro Itagaki: "Maybe, we should question the question of the 'evolution of modern warfare'. Before the last European war, everyone concluded that the charge intensity was greater than the firepower intensity - breakthrough, and the defense firepower intensity was greater than the offensive intensity - the attack was frustrated; and after the last European war, the Europeans proposed that the defense and offensive power comparison was 1 to 7. We don't pay enough attention to this yet, right? Especially when the opponent was the Chinese. But we must see that the current Chinese troops are not necessarily much weaker than us, at least the troops they fight with us reflect this... I also committed the same thing before.

After this mistake, the Chinese have only a few strong troops, and we think that other troops are vulnerable. But how many strong troops are there in the Chinese? Didn’t we always think that the 89th Army is just a bad unit? As a result, in the Battle of Baogao, they fought with us from beginning to end, from retreat to counterattack! In the recent Wuhan Battle, how many strong troops were they, the Guangxi troops and Sichuan troops, fought? The new 35th Division, which we thought was not as good as our brigade, actually became the first Iron Blood Wolf Division... What I want to say is that the Chinese army has begun to develop with the world. Maybe they can’t do anything one to seven defense, but it is impossible for us to imagine defeating them with military flags like before..."

"Do you think we are underestimating the enemy?" Seishiro Itagaki asked. The answer he hoped to get was yes, so that he and others could continue to maintain confidence - he had already lost confidence in conquering China in his heart! But Okamura Yasuji gave him a negative answer.

"No, I don't recognize that this is a complete consequence of underestimating the enemy..." Seishiro Itagaki said: "I personally think that the basic concept of modern war is affecting our results. Yes, I mean Cao Xiaomin knows war better than us; including every detail of war..."

Okamura Yasuji is indeed one of the few generals in the Japanese army who likes to do statistics and summary the most. He took out a large stack of things: "This is some examples of wars in previous wars, and there are also many that seem to be accidental phenomena, but when all accidents are put together, it becomes inevitable..."

"Cao Xiaomin is very good at mobilizing the deployment of our army, and his firepower may be considered a new theory. I gave it a name 'Space Saturation Firepower Theory', that is, when the firepower reaches a certain intensity in a certain space, everything in this space will be eliminated, whether it is one person or ten thousand people. The super high-intensity concentrated bombing of the Chinese Air Force during the Battle of Wuhan was the early manifestation of such a theory. We summarized it is not difficult to find that the troops he commanded have been doing this in many parts... According to intelligence, the Chinese people used almost 80% of the country's inventory bombs when attacking Wuhu, but they almost exploded all the defenders in Wuhu, thus changing the entire battle situation. And what about us? We are still calculating that one bullet will destroy one

The enemy..." Okamura Nishi said this and was silent for a long time before continuing: "Daya Bay, we didn't expect that the Chinese people dared to block us on the landing ground with a large amount of sacrifice and dispatched so many air force bombs. According to the intelligence, all the bombers, transport planes and fighter jets with bombs in the entire war zone were dispatched, and they used almost all the bombs that could be used... As a result, we saw that, except for the 16th Division, the troops of the 101st Division and the 104th Division not only suffered half of the casualties but also had been blown up and lost a large number of weapons, forcing them to launch the highest intensity attack overnight to leave the beach; but it was very sad... The Chinese army now has to wait for supplies for a battle, and I am very worried about what will happen once they have enough ammunition and more advanced equipment!"

"Are you saying that we can't even beat the Chinese?!" Except for Seishiro Itagaki, others finally spoke.

"If this war is going to fight for ten years, I want to say yes..." Okamura Yasuji said in a group of young and strong people: "And I came to the conclusion that we cannot go south either, because Britain, the United States and other countries do not need to fight us at all. They can win the war by airdropping weapons to China. If we want to make profits through the war, our only possibility is to go north, use German allies to cooperate on the Western Front, use Britain, the United States and other countries to support us in attacking the Soviet Union with different ideologies, and then repair with the Chinese to regain the dispersed power... Finally, we have to end the war at the most difficult time when the Soviet Union is in trouble, and maybe we can cut a knife from the overly large Soviet Union. In addition, the other roads I see are dead..."

What Okamura Yasuji was no longer a matter of the battle situation, but what he said left the soldiers speechless - it sounded like that!

"We can draw all the aircraft that are preparing to fight against the Soviet Union to Taiwan. With such a strong air force, we can ensure that our army lands smoothly and invades and even occupy Guangzhou, but this can only be a local victory..." Okamura Yanji looked at Itagaki Seishiro and said meaningfully this time: "I mean that we really want to win from the overall situation is to end the China war as soon as possible, and make every effort to go north instead of studying how to defeat Cao Xiaomin, which will only penetrate the dead end..."

This guy was afraid of being beaten by Cao Xiaomin! Many people were thinking in their hearts: If even China could not win, they would still fight the Soviet Union?!... What this guy said might have transferred all the planes that were preparing to deal with the Soviet Union to Taiwan, and it seems that it is really feasible to ensure that Guangdong is won with absolute air superiority...

The decision made by the meeting made Okamura Yasuji dumbfounded: The Tokyo Base Camp is preparing to transfer more than 800 types of fighter jets that are currently gathered in the local area and can be used for combat against the Soviet Union to Taiwan, and to conduct the final punishment before the peace talks against the Chinese team!
