Part Three The Bloody War of Resistance Chapter 10 The Furious Waves Section VIII Heavenly Fire (3)

But Kazuya Kazuya didn't care. No matter whether these eyes contained disdain, contempt or hatred, he didn't care. When he rushed out of the mountains of the Great Wall, he didn't care about many things.

When God is pushed and the precepts are broken, the God that is re-erected is no longer God, and the re-established precepts do not have that layer of divine light.

"Kun Nakajima, General Umezu will hold an operational meeting after the meeting and agree on the Manchurian combat strategy. You will follow us to participate later." Takeo Imai said to Kazunajima who came forward.

According to Katsuya Nakajima's position, he does not need to attend such a meeting, nor is he qualified to attend. Takeo Imai's move was obviously approved by Nishio Suzusaki, which also shows that they value Katsuya Nakajima.

Kazuya Nakajima answered simply and was about to turn around and leave. Takeo Imai was a little surprised at his attitude and called him again: "What's wrong? Nakajima, don't you have any ideas?"

Nakajima replied expressionlessly: "Can Manchuria still fight? Can the Kwantung Army still have the ability to fight against the Chinese general?"

Faced with the straightforwardness of Nakajima, Suzuo Nishio and Takeo Imai could only remain silent. Forty-five thousand elite troops were wiped out, and 300,000 third and fourth-rate troops could block the million-strong tiger-wolf division of China? The staff of the military headquarters yelled that the Kwantung Army was invincible in the world, but they didn't know that the current Kwantung Army's essence was no longer there except the shell, and had disappeared in northern Myanmar, northern Hubei, Shandong, and North China.

War is a huge meat grinder that divides young lives into dust.

The battle situation is an unsolvable problem. Nishio Suzu and Umezu Mijiro two new leaders of the Japanese army cannot avoid or bypass.

The martial arts fortune is still strong and powerful for a long time, and the sun flag is radiating brilliance: but after the illusory glory, it faces endless darkness.

"Nakashima, don't be too pessimistic. The Chinese people don't have a navy. Even if they fight to Busan, they can only sigh." Takeo Imai also cheered up Nakashima Kazuki: "As long as we defeat the Americans, the Americans' weakness is that they dare not bear huge casualties. We still have hope." Nakashima Kazuki smiled bitterly in his heart, without answering, but Nishio Suzuki became serious: "Nakashima, this is not possible. Now is the time to use your intelligence and save the empire. I will transfer you back from Manchuria, but I don't want to see your current state. The Chinese people said that victory or defeat is a common military car. I hope you will cheer up your confidence. Japan needs you now, do you understand!" Nakashima Kazuki felt a furious heart, realizing that his condition was indeed abnormal, and he quickly concentrated on his mind and replied loudly: "I understand, thank you for your reminder!"

Nishio Suzusaki stared at him, Nakajima Yasuki looked up, and Nishio Suzusaki nodded with satisfaction: "You go back and prepare, we will go to the Umejinjun's combat meeting later.

This combat meeting was the first joint meeting of the Military Headquarters held by the new Chief of Staff Mijiro Umezu after the establishment of the new cabinet. The topics of this meeting were obviously mainly focused on the Chinese theater, especially the dangerous situation facing Manchuria.

Naosaburo Okabe on the front line of the Shanhaiguan call to Tokyo every day, asking him about the troops he wants and the materials he wants, and when will he arrive. Naosaburo Okabe's tone in the telegram became stronger and stronger, and sometimes it was a threat from Akaluoluo.

But Mijiro Umezu had nothing to say. As the former commander of the Kwantung Army, he understood very well the huge difficulties the Kwantung Army is facing now. In addition to the military force, most of the Kwantung Army's material was sent to North China. Naosaburo Okabe was now suffering the consequences of his decision-making.

With the arrival of spring, Okabe has to bear greater pressure than him. Outside Shanhaiguan, millions of Chinese troops are approaching, the Soviet Union in the north of the desert is taking the lead, and the Soviet Union troops north of the Daxinganling are ready to move. It can be said that Okabe Naosabu's situation is ten times more difficult than him.

After Umezu Mijiro announced the meeting, Hattori Shiro, head of the Operations Division of the General Staff Headquarters, stood in front of the map and read out the current situation of military affairs in Manchuria.

"… According to the intelligence, the Chinese army in North China is moving to Hebei East. At present, the Rehe area has gathered about 1.5 million Chinese army in the eastern Hebei region, and there are still about 200,000 troops in the Pingjin area, so it can reinforce Hebei East at any time. In addition, after the main force of the Imperial Army evacuated from the Imperial Army, Li Shouxin instigated a rebellion, and almost the entire army surrendered. Now only the East and the Ancient Army still accepts the command of the Imperial Army.

Recently, the Soviet Union is stepping up the replenishment of the Soviet Far Eastern troops north of the Greater Khingan Mountains. The General Staff Headquarters judged that the Soviet Far Eastern Front would launch an attack in early May after the ice and snow melted. At present, the Imperial Army has only two divisions outside the Xing'an Mountains, and the remaining 520,000 Manchurian Defense Forces.

The biggest threat to the Kwantung Army is the Chinese army outside Shanhaiguan. According to the combat practice of the Chinese army, after a battle, it will definitely rest for three to four months. The General Staff Headquarters judged that the attack of the Chinese army may be launched in July, and its main force may divide its troops into two groups, one along the Huludao, Suizhong, Shanhaiguan, and attack Jinzhou, and the other from the eastern part of Rehe, Chaoyang, Wenxian, and attack Jinzhou.

The difficulty of the Imperial Army is that it is impossible to increase troops to Manchuria. According to the Imperial Decisive Battle Outline, the troops used to guard the local area must reach 2 million, and the domestic troops will have 700,000, of which 300,000 are trained. One million troops will be trained in the next year. This task is very arduous.

In order to solve the dilemma of insufficient military strength of the Kwantung Army, the General Staff Headquarters decided to recruit soldiers in the countryside in Manchuria. There were about 700,000 pioneering regiments in Manchuria and about one million North Korean immigrants, of which about 300,000 to 400,000 were recruited. In this way, the total strength of the Kwantung Army could reach 600,000 to 700,000, which was barely enough.

From the perspective of terrain, Shanhaiguan and its nearby terrain are beneficial to the Imperial Army. The General Staff Headquarters requires the Kwantung Army to set up three lines of defense on the front of Shanhaiguan. In the north, three lines of defense are also set up in the mountainous areas here to block the attack of the Chinese army."

Looking at Hattori Chuo Shiro's self-righteous face, Kaori Nakajima felt a little nauseous. If the rice balls he ate in the morning had not been digested, he would have vomited out. Hattori's combat plan further confirmed his previous judgment of the staff officers at the General Staff Headquarters. A group of guys who were watching the sky in the well had a lot of flaws in the whole plan, and it would be a waste of time to listen.

"Your Excellency, where do the weapons and equipment of these 300,000 to 400,000 soldiers in the village come from?" Nakajima Katsuya and his rude interrupted Hattori's speech, which was very rare in the meetings of the General Staff Headquarters. All of Umezu Mijiro and Nishio Shuzuo turned their heads to look at him in surprise.

Hattori Tsuro was extremely angry. He looked up and said coldly: "Kun Nakajima, the soldiers in the village already have weapons. According to the Development Coordinated Combination Method, each Development Group has weapons and equipment." "The Chief of the General Knows the Manchuria and the Kanto Army best. I think you have never consulted the Chief of the General's opinion before making a plan. Nakajima Kazuya is quite polite and gave Hattori a step.

In fact, Mijiro Umezu had already frowned. If the Persuasion Head Shuo Shiro's initial analysis was reasonable, there would be no explanation for the soldiers in the village. Yes, according to the military records, the Manchurian pioneer regiment had about 700,000, but after the 700,000 war against the Soviet Union, 200,000 people had been recruited one after another. The remaining ones were either the old, the weak, the sick or the disabled, and the weapons and equipment were not mentioned. The slightly better ones had been carried onto the battlefield, and the rest might be some old antiques from the Russo-Japanese War.

"You!" Hattori Chuo Shiro was furious and almost blurted out his words. It can be seen that Mijiro Umezu couldn't help but shut up, leaving only an angry expression.

"Also, do you think the Chinese army will come in two ways." Kasuka Nakajima looked cold and with a hint of mockery. Then, without waiting for Hattori, he walked straight to him, picked up another wooden stick, and hit the map: "The Chinese general always used real to attack the virtual world. If you concentrate all his troops on the line between Shanhaiguan and Rehe, then he would definitely not go here, why do you fight with you one mountain and one mountain? If I want to change me, I will not go here either.

Heilongjiang and Jilin are empty, so I will go to Heilongjiang Jilin. The 49th Army is the main force of China. Now it is located in the northern part of Rehe. It seems that it is preparing to go south from Chaoyang Line and encircle our Shanhaiguan Imperial Army. But what if he does not go south but advance east? Cross the grassland, cross the Daxinganling, go straight to Xinjing and even Harbin, and then head south along the railway. I wonder what should you do?" Nakajima Kangjian shocked the audience. He used the undefeated Forty-Nine Army as the main force to cross the Daxingan Mountains and then cross the Daxingan Mountains. Surprisingly, he appeared in the Songliao Plain. Putting aside the entire heavy army group of Japan, it was like a steel knife inserted into the heart of Manchuria and attacking the Kwantung Army from behind. This strategy is exquisite and grand.

If Hattori was a little proud two minutes ago, now he was already pale and sweating profusely. He had never thought of this move at all, and there was no need to make more analysis. This move was valid.

After a long time, Chai Shancai, the head of the second lesson of the General Staff, asked by chance: "Will General Kuaina be like this? This road is not easy to walk, and the Daxinganling Mountains are densely covered with forests............."

"Why can't?" Nakajima Kangjian immediately asked sharply: "The Chinese general has fought in northern Myanmar and is very knowledgeable about jungle combat. He also has three expeditionary forces transferred back from Myanmar. They are fully capable of crossing the Greater Khingan Mountains. We have been underestimating our opponents and underestimating the Chinese generals, so we have the defeat of Nanjing, northern Myanmar, and northern Hubei.

During the Battle of North China, the New First Army and the New Sixth Army of the Forty-Nine Army crossed the Taihang Mountains, cut off the Beijing-Zhangjiakou line, and expanded the battlefield space infinitely, which eventually led to the complete failure of the Imperial Army in the Battle of North China. What just happened, you will not forget. There are too many things that need to be summarized in the Battle of North China.

Kasuke Nakajima sighed, and the staff at the staff headquarters bowed their heads. At that time, Ishihara Kanir asked the North China Expeditionary Force to retreat, meet with the Kanto Army, and defend the Great Wall and the Shanhaiguan line. It was collectively rejected by these staff members, but now it seems that this is the best idea.

Meijiro Umezu also sighed softly. Although he did not admit it, in his heart, he had already regretted the decision. Nishio Suzuo also shook his head in his heart. He was not proud at all, but was even more worried.

"Nakashima, do you have any ideas?" Nakashima Katsuo Nishio Suzuo and Umezu Mijiro bowed slightly and replied calmly: "From the present, the possibility of the empire defending Manchuria is very low. Huyi believes that the imperial army can attack on the terrain, but once the Chinese army appears in the Songliao Plain, the imperial army should quickly move south and retreat to North Korea.

In northern Korea, the mountains are undulating, which is beneficial to defend but not to attack. More importantly, the Imperial Army can build a dense front here, and 300,000 troops are barely enough.,…

As soon as Kazuki Nakajima spoke, he wanted to give up Manchuria, which made it difficult for the staff at the General Staff Headquarters to accept it, but he could not propose a better combat plan. He could only glar at Kazuki Nakajima, and the atmosphere in the room began to open.

Giving up Manchuria, the Japanese soldiers here are unable to accept emotionally. Manchuria was once regarded as a lifeline by Japanese soldiers and a symbol of Japanese soldiers' expansion of territory. It has been the victory of mainland policy for decades. Most of the Japanese soldiers here are in Manchuria and served in the Kanto Army, especially Mijiro Umezu. He served in Manchuria for nearly ten years. The Kanto Army was once the largest strategic group in Japan. He drove the Anti-Japanese United Army to the Soviet Union and won victory in the war against the Soviet Union. It can be said that the Kanto Army and Manchuria were part of his military achievements.

"Nakajima, do you need such a big retreat?" Umetsu Mijiro asked with a frown.

"It is impossible to defend Manchuria." Nakajima Kasumi looked very firm: "Insufficient troops and insufficient materials, the Imperial Army is at a huge disadvantage in all aspects. Barely fighting will only lead to failure."

"At that time, we occupied Manchuria with only more than 10,000 people." Muto Akira's tone was unsteady and his eyes were scattered. I don't know if he was feeling or questioning.

"It was back then, now it is now." Nakajima is still so calm, it seems to be just talking about a simple fact: "Seven years ago, 200,000 North China sent troops could sweep North China and fight from Pingjin to Shanxi, but what about now? The Chinese army is not the Chinese army seven years ago."

As if to make a conclusion, after Kazuki Nakajima finished speaking, he saluted the two generals and was about to turn around. Nishio Suzusaki spoke at this time: "Nakajima, I have a question, but I have not been answered. The Imperial Army has only more than 200,000 troops in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas, only half of the North China Expeditionary Army. Why did the Chinese Army not attack Jiangsu and Zhejiang?"

Nakajima Kangjian said in silence: "I can only guess that the Chinese army's mechanization power has become stronger now. Jiangnan is a water grid zone, which is not conducive to tank combat. North China's terrain is flat, which is conducive to tank combat. In the North China Battle, the Chinese army invested about 2,000 tanks, and these tanks played a huge role in the North China Battle. In addition, I must tell you that human bombs cannot destroy Chinese tanks. The most favorable weapon to deal with Chinese tanks is the 88 anti-aircraft gun. The empire's best production is immediately.

We seized several Chinese rocket launchers, and the empire should imitate it immediately. This weapon is very powerful against tanks." Speaking of anti-tank weapons, whether it is Umezu Mijiro or Nishio Suzuo, they are very angry with the Ministry of Army and the General Staff Headquarters. They have asked for it countless times on the front line, but Tokyo is indifferent. The front line generals can only let the soldiers act as human bombs and blow up the Chinese tanks at a huge cost.@.
