Chapter 435 Changes in the mentality of the Japanese army

"Alas, all the Germans say are empty words!"

After Jiang Dong learned the content of the conversation, he said with a wry smile.

Once a full-scale world war breaks out, it will be difficult for Germany to really take any action, whether it is cooperation or assistance.

Because it is difficult for their power to extend beyond Europe. To the east and south are the colonies of Britain, France and other countries, and to the north is the Soviet Union.

Britain and France would definitely not let German materials pass through their territory, and the Soviet Union would not be able to watch Germany grow and develop.

If we want to continue cooperation, unless Germany has the ability to penetrate Europe.

Another point is that the world will definitely form two major camps by then.

China must choose a side between these two camps. To be honest, the probability of choosing the German side is extremely slim.

It seems that the cooperative relationship with Germany will be difficult to maintain. The equipment of these five divisions may be the last batch of supplies.

As for the Soviet Union, if Jiangdong wants to extract some wool from them, it can only take two years at most.

Two years later, the Soviet Union itself would still need assistance from the United States.

USA?

Jiang's name suddenly sounded like Gillian, thinking of the eldest daughter of the Rockefeller family.

If you want to get on the American line, Gillian is a very good entry point.

Jiang Dong was thinking rapidly in his mind, thinking about what could impress Gillian, the family behind her, and Lao Mei.

Seeing Jiang Dong's face turning blue and white, looking happy and worried at the same time, Wu Zhan couldn't help but ask:

"Teacher, what's wrong with you? Logically speaking, this is a good thing. Why do you look so sad?"

Jiang Dong waved his hand, "It's okay!"

"The two sides are planning to hold a press conference. How will they respond to this matter?"

"Uh..." Jiang Dong muttered,

"Since we are going to open it, let them make the event louder and tell Lao Xie that none of the reporters who should be invited will be left behind."

"The fact that the Soviet-German negotiators are in Jincheng is a secret. If it is made public, will it make the Chairman..." Wu Zhan hesitated.

"Don't be afraid!" Jiang Dong said boldly:

"This vigorous battle will be over soon, and it's time for the Chairman to give me a new identity. I just want to take this opportunity to let the Military Commission and the Chairman evaluate our weight. I hope they can be more generous."

Germany will soon become unreliable, but the Soviet Union can survive for another two years.

I think the Chairman will have a reasonable assessment of Jiangdong's international relations when he hears this news.

After all, the strength of the Jiangdong army is ultimately China's national defense strength.

"Hehe... The Japanese will be so angry that they will vomit blood when they hear this news!" Wu Zhan gloated a little.

"We might hit them, but the effect will be limited. What's the situation over there with the 116th Division?"

"The kid is coming more aggressively today. Commander Xu has gone to the front line to direct the operations. The 116th Division should use six or seven of its forces today."

Jiangdong patted his butt and stood up,

"Go and send the telegram quickly. After sending the telegram, we will go to the front line.

That guy from Guohua said he had prepared a fireworks show for us, so don’t miss it.”



In the headquarters of the 116th Division, Shinohara Seiichiro was pacing a little irritably.

More than 20,000 troops are gathered here. It is impossible to attack and retreat.

If this delay continues, the hundreds of thousands of Chinese troops will escape smoothly.

If the enemy's effective forces cannot be effectively annihilated, then this battle will be a complete defeat for the Japanese Empire.

They suffered casualties of 4 divisions and lost several heavyweight generals. They captured the empty city of Taiyuan but lost a dozen counties in the south.

The base camp and the North China Front will absolutely not accept such a result.

Shinohara Seiichiro suddenly discovered that without the support of aircraft in the sky and artillery on the ground, the warriors of the Japanese Empire suddenly seemed unable to fight.

In almost every battle in the past, the imperial army had an absolute advantage in firepower. The warriors had become accustomed to the tactic of bombarding the infantry after the artillery bombardment, and then bombarding the artillery after the infantry bombarded them.

Now the artillery units suddenly did not dare to move, and the attacking warriors also seemed timid and lacked confidence.

"Oh, it's only been two years. How did Jiang Dong grow from a small battalion commander to his current status?"

Shinohara Seiichiro sighed in his heart.

"Your Excellency, the division commander, your Excellency the general's telegram." Chief of Staff Colonel Yamada Mir looked a little relaxed.

"The Taiyuan detachment has already escaped. The general ordered the 11th brigade to turn eastward and join us in attacking the Jiangdong troops in the Niangziguan area."

"Snapped!"

Shinohara Seiichiro struck with both hands, "If we can successfully annihilate some of Koto's troops, it will be great for us.

Inform all wing commanders to come to the division headquarters for a meeting."

"Hiyi!"



Not long after, all the commanders of the regiment arrived at the division headquarters.

In addition to the captains of the regiments of the 116th Division, there was also the 80th Regiment of the 4th Division.

The 80th Regiment and two brigades arrived at Niangziguan before the 116th Division, but they did not launch any attack on the Jiangdong troops, and at most they only conducted surveillance.

The captain of the 80th Regiment hung his head, looking sick.

Shinohara Seiichiro snorted coldly when he saw this. The troops of the Fourth Division were like this. It was basically impossible to get them to fight tooth and nail.

He turned his attention to his several commanders, but what surprised him was that the eyes of several commanders and the two brigade commanders were a little evasive.

The warriors who once clamored to devote themselves to His Majesty the Emperor were now afraid.

Shinohara Seiichiro suddenly felt extremely uneasy. Koto now only had three divisions with about 60,000 troops, which had already caused such a huge psychological shadow on the warriors of the empire.

If the scale of Koto's deployment reaches 100,000 or 200,000, how will the mentality of the Imperial Army soldiers change?

Thinking of this, he punched the marching table so hard that it was half paralyzed.

"Bang!"

“Baqiya Road!
