Chapter 196 The Imperial Front Meeting

There is no airtight wall in the world. Ying Detian, Miao Jianqiu, Sun Mingjiu and others fled to the CCP, which also made the Northeast Army's division more rapidly and extreme. However, at this moment, Zhang Xuewu is withdrawing troops on a large scale. The defenses of Rehe, Chahar and Suiyuan are the urgent need to delay.

The Double 12 Incident and the previous Guangdong-Guangdong Incident made the people smell the smell. The ambitious Nanjiro had already made the final preparations for the war. The base camp, the General Staff Headquarters and the Ministry of Army have repeatedly performed war games on the large-scale offensive launched by the punishment. However, referring to the combat effectiveness of the German armed forces of the *** team in the Battle of Rehkawa, the results of the deduction were not too optimistic.

Nanjiro, who was recalled to the local area to participate in the imperial meeting, was worried at this moment. Nanjiro was not worried about the success of the punishment battle, but whether he could still be in the position of commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army? Or Nanjiro was aiming at a position that made him more excited. Although this position has not been established yet, based on Nanjiro's premonition, there are as many as 60 divisions involved in the battle this time. Once the Kwantung Army's troops invade the northern branch, they will inevitably become units at the front level. The Northern branch dispatched troops are at the same level as the Shanghai dispatched troops that echo each other. Therefore, whether it is the Northern branch dispatched troops or the Shanghai dispatched troops, after the first phase of the combat mission is completed, a commander-in-chief of the Chinese dispatched troops will inevitably be added.

If he could get what he wanted, the position of marshal would probably not be a dream or a talk. Nanjiro, who came to Tokyo with eager hope, was a big shot, paving the way with a golden bullet, and almost worshiping the temple. He rode the horse outside and controlled the army, and dismounted the horse and controlled the people, and led the army without exception, were all rich and could not be spared. Especially the Kanto Army, which was plundering in the three northeastern provinces.

However, today's meeting made Nanjiro hear different opinions. It can be said that the base camp's battle determination has been issued for a long time, but the specific strategy, tactics and battle synthesis can be said to be the eight characters!

Because of the strategic deployment of the three groups of troops, the plan of the General Staff conflicted with the plan formulated by the General Staff Strategy Department of the General Staff. The General Staff planned to directly adopt the method of a heavy army group, first attacking the Zhang Xuewu legion of Rehe, Chahar, and Suiyuan, annihilate the thorns in the side of this empire, completely solve the worries, and also achieve the role of shocking the *** army.

However, the newly established General Strategy Department of the base camp held the opposite opinion, believing that the disastrous defeat in Chengde's attack has proved that the Imperial Army's lack of offensive capabilities. Even if the Imperial Army supplemented with new weapons and new large-caliber artillery, the Zhang Xuewu headquarters of the *** Army was also desperately strengthening Chaoyang, Chengde, Chifeng, and Zhangjiakou and attacking the fortress city with a large number of permanent fortifications will definitely consume a lot of material supplies. Time, and the troops will also suffer serious casualties. For the plan to adopt the north-south and south tactics in three to six months, it will take too much time to make the Nanjing government surrender.

And if the attack is successful, it is okay. Once the attack fails, it will affect the formulation and subsequent implementation of the entire empire strategy. Moreover, Zhang Xuewu is no longer the commander of the first division back then. He has more than 100,000 troops. According to reliable information, Zhang Xuewu has also incorporated more than 50,000 trained Northeast Army officers and soldiers. Zhang Xuewu's regiment, which has a solid defense line, fighter jets, tanks, heavy artillery and sufficient mobile forces, is he chewed?

Nanjiro has always been playing a humble consultant. He naturally doesn’t want to offend the General Staff Headquarters, and he can’t neglect the base. This is Nanjiro’s principle of being a person, and he is sleek! He must not offend others when speaking and doing things!

However, in Nanjiro's opinion, the concerns in the base camp are absolutely reasonable. Now Zhang Xuewu has about 200 combat aircraft, and the performance of these aircraft is almost all higher than all models in service in the Empire. The Kwantung Army Flight Division does not have an advantage in air combat power. Moreover, the railway lines in Rehe, Chahar and Suiyuan are not the same as before. The current convenient railway network line allows Zhang Xuewu to calmly and quickly mobilize troops and form a local advantage in force.

Nanjiro remembered that before he left, the pilots of the pilot division shot down three reconnaissance aircraft by the Reha. Now, when the pilots of the pilot division entered Reha, they had to write a suicide note to say goodbye. The sky in Reha, Chahar, and Suiyuan was like a wall of iron. The eleven reconnaissance aircraft had not yet brought back the required aerial reconnaissance photos. How much casualties would it take to fight Zhang Xuewu? To be honest, Nanjiro had no idea.

Emperor Hirohito also frowned and looked at the generals who were verbally whispering, and his face was red and his neck was thick, constantly arguing. It can be said that Atako's disastrous defeat deeply stimulated Emperor Hirohito's nerves back then. Just like some later dramas, men can win continuously, but as long as they lose once, the sky and the earth will collapse. In fact, this is the so-called true face of the Yamato nation. Neither the Great Empire nor the Yamato nation can afford to lose!

The somewhat tired Emperor Hirohito finally turned his attention to Nanjiro and said, "You are the commander-in-chief of the Kanto Army. You are the most qualified to speak. You can formulate strategic plans and deploy them in the General Staff Headquarters and Base Camps. However, when formulating tactical plans, you should listen to the words of the generals and soldiers at the forefront. They have the deepest experience! Although the empire has the most complete staff system and the best staff officers, it is difficult for us to avoid the following brigades, corps, and brigade-level troops that implement the tactics formulated by staff officers thousands of miles away on a map of one-twentieth thousand."

Emperor Hirohito was so angry that the two groups of people who had been quarreling before were now focused on Minamijiro. Minamijiro was also very upset at this moment. If I had known this was the case, I would have sent Chief of Staff Okamura Yasuji to come back?

Lieutenant General Aokido, the combat minister of the base camp who was staring at Minamijiro, stared at Big Bull's eyes and said unceremoniously: "Since His Majesty the Emperor's mouth has opened, please listen to the great opinions of Commander-in-Chief Minamijiro!"

Minamijiro is famous for being a human being in the *** Army, but his tactics and strategic attainments are really a bit terrible. He is polite to say that he has not made any achievements, so the base camp's combat minister, No. 1 Lieutenant General Aokido, was so rude. In Aokido's opinion, Minamijiro must have been mixed with him again this time.

Relying on Minamijiro to say something that is successful or practical? It is like looking forward to the autumn wind and white dew in Hokkaido. It will be every few decades. God knows when it will happen?

After all, it is about his own reality. Nanjiro also hesitated for a moment and bowed respectfully to Emperor Hirohito and said: "Your Majesty, you are a colleague. The first phase of the empire's battle was to eliminate Zhang Xuewu's army, approach the city of Nanjing, force the Nanjing government to make the greatest concessions, so that North China can achieve autonomy into a buffer zone for Manchuria?"

Aoki Doichi nodded and said, "At this point, the General Staff Headquarters and the Base Camp have the same opinions. The Empire cannot touch on the interests of Britain, France, the United States and other countries in East China and South China. It cannot be completely isolated by the international community. We need American loans, scrap steel and aviation engines, and the most important thing is that the Empire needs oil! Moreover, the main enemy of the Imperial Army is not the *** people, but the red giant Soviet Union, which stabilizes Manchuria and plans to develop northward and occupy the large oil and gas fields of the Soviet Union in the Far East. This is the ultimate strategy of the Empire. Otherwise, the Empire's oil reserves can only last for one year. If the joint fleet does not have oil supply, it will be a pile of scrap iron."

The Navy Base Camp Operations Minister sitting opposite, Mi Daoshan, the deputy commander of the Navy, glared at Aoki Dora fiercely and snorted heavily. Due to the Chengde Army's defeat, the navy's super warship plan was forced to stop. A large number of ships were waiting to update their weapons and equipment. The navy was full of complaints.

The first director of the General Staff, Deputy Director Masaki, has been watching all this coldly, as if he was not the person who had just quarreled with Lieutenant General Fujiwara Motoyama. Deputy Director Masaki glared at the remnants of the veterans of Fujiwara Motoyama. Emperor Hirohito's kindness and ruthlessness made a guy like Fujiwara Motoyama stand here. In fact, the ones that should be killed most include these remnants, who are the stumbling blocks to the development and progress of the Great *** Empire.

Deputy Masaki looked at Aoki Doichi who was staring at Minamijiro. Deputy Masaki knew how good Minamijiro was. If he forced this good guy who was best at changing his mind to tell the truth? Deputy Masaki actually admired Minamijiro, who dared to be careless about issues related to his actual interests?

Deputy Masaki stood up slowly, bowed to Emperor Hirohito to express his respect, and then shouted: "After the defeat at Chengde City, the Imperial Army has been preparing for more than three years. The Fifth Army of the *** Army we dealt with in Songhu was also the German division. We were not defeated by our army in Shanghai? Why did our great *** Imperial Army lose all its reputation in the Battle of Chengde?"

Deputy Masaki looked around and shouted, "It's not that our soldiers are not good, nor that our equipment is not good! Compared with Zhong***, our soldiers are well-trained, our firepower is several times stronger than the enemy. Our army surrounds the enemy, and the troops are more than ten times that of the enemy. Why can't they be defeated after a long time? That is the result of the dereliction of duty, carelessness and underestimation of the enemy! The attack determination is not determined, and we must have the determination to attack the corpse and blood in the sea of ​​corpses during the raid. Chengde can chew off even a stone, and the rear is careless and negligent, and a small group of elite enemy troops raided the airport and logistics supply transfer station. How can we be unbeaten?"
Chapter completed!
