Chapter 327 The mind of the polar bear
Compared with Okamura Yasuji, who placed all his hopes on him, the troops under Okamura Yasuji began to excavate field fortifications in an echelon and destroy roads and bridges. Many people did not understand Okamura Yasuji's intention, and Okamura Yasuji did not explain anything. The First Front Army and the Second Front Army of Isotani Rikari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isokari Isoka Chief of Staff can reverse the situation at a
In comparison, Yamashita Tomomi was much more rational and also carried out Kenyoshi Ueda's orders, but Yamashita Tomomi's third front army obviously did not fall too deeply into the attack on Zhangjiakou. Yamashita Tomomi had the most troops on both wings and his rear, and the attack on Zhangjiakou fortress seemed very absent-minded. An attacking force actually built fortifications behind him? Stationing heavy troops? This was obviously a worry that someone would cut off his back and attack his back door!
In the face of the entire strategic deployment of the 10th War Zone, Zhang Xuewu was actually demolishing the east wall and repairing the west wall. For the sake of Yumen Oilfield, Zhang Xuewu expanded his defense circle by at least twice. In this way, the already stretched troops seemed even more insufficient. Before Zhang Xuewu traveled through time, he was just a staff officer. To put it nicely, he was a professional military talent, and to put it nicely, he was a guy who was playing oral.
Except for the Japanese staff members who had great power during World War II, the staff members of other countries basically played the role of being scolded by both sides, because they were often the only one-man position of military chiefs during wartime, and the staff members were also divided into operations, security, defense, tactics, strategy, logistics, etc., which was actually a panacea.
Zhang Xuewu himself knows how much he has. Zhang Xuewu himself knew best. This time, the Japanese army's full attack on the Tenth War Zone was beyond Zhang Xuewu's expectations. Because he believed that his Tenth War Zone was much stronger than Li Zongren in the Fifth War Zone, the Japanese would not put eggs and eat stones, so he formulated a relatively comfortable combat plan. On the one hand, he continued to accumulate strength. Waiting for the Japanese to completely fall into the battle of Xuzhou, he sent troops to close the door and beat the dogs, block Shanhaiguan, and occupy Jinzhou! Sweeping the Pingjin area.
However, under the reverse thinking, the Japanese decided to chew the stone first. Zhang Xuewu failed to get relevant information from the Japanese army in time. He had to admit that Japan's strategic deception before the launch of the battle was quite in place, so he always believed that the Japanese's strategic goal was Xuzhou.
The blizzard and the heavy cooling made Zhang Xuewu less vigilant. What he unexpectedly expected was that the National Government was actually sitting on the verge of watching the tiger fight. Li Zongren had no deep friendship with him or her. However, the aid he gave him was genuine, but Li Zongren had to obey Chiang Kai-shek's orders and use his own troops according to his proposal. Li Zongren did not have such great power to break the force, and would not be able to accept foreign military orders. In terms of tactics, Li Zongren could only repeatedly ask Chiang Kai-shek for battle.
Zhang Xuewu stood in front of the huge sand table, looking at the slightest bit of the enemy and our troops on the sand table, and felt a headache. Zhang Xuewu was not an absolute firepower winning faction, because he did not have the conditions to be a firepower winning faction. The troops in the 10th War Zone were many times stronger in terms of combat or strategic firepower projection output than the Japanese army. This is also the main reason why the Japanese army suffered frequent setbacks in the offensive.
What made Zhang Xuewu feel most comfortable was the Battle of Baotou. He swept the two divisions that the Japanese were sent to the door with his strength, so that the 23rd Mechanized Division underwent a large-scale surrender. Is the Japanese's combat power really so weak? Zhang Xuewu doesn't think so, this can only be regarded as an exception. The complete destruction of the Kanto Army's chariot division can be said to have shocked the Japanese officers and soldiers of the 23rd Division, the overwhelming hail rockets, and the enemy chariots that even human bombs cannot do, were completely a hysterical despair.
In addition to the random command of Tojo, the outsider, at the critical moment, Hideki Tojo, the chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, who was the actual supreme commander, actually abandoned his troops? The choice of Yamashita Daiichi, the commander of the 23rd Division, constitutes the factors and key to the Japanese surrender, so at least at this stage, it is almost impossible to think that such a large-scale surrender by the Japanese is almost impossible.
In Chaoyang, the Chinese and Japanese armies had already fought a bad battle. The Japanese army used the favorable terrain of the hills to defend. In history, even the Americans who had been armed to the teeth had no choice but to send infantry to clear out under absolute fire cover. Here, the role that the armored troops could play was reduced to a minimum, and Zhang Xuewu did not have the absolute firepower output of the US military, and there were not so many artillery shells to repair the earth.
Moreover, Zhang Xuewu also had his own plans. Even if he had the ability to destroy this battle, he would still have to hide it. At least he could not expose all his strength. Just like the Third Armored Division still hid in Baotou after the Kwantung Army Chariot Division and the 23rd Mechanized Division, which were invading the Japanese invasion of the Japanese army, because Zhang Xuewu knew that some people were even more worried about the situation on his side. In exchanges between countries, there were no eternal friends, only eternal use. If he did not take advantage of the current aggressive situation of the Japanese army, if the Soviet Union really signed a secret agreement in the future, I am afraid that the good days of Su Yuan would be over.
However, in the battle between the First Front Army Huo Lie and the Second Front Army Risuke Isotani, which was fighting against the Japanese attack on Chaoyang, whether it was the Iron Cavalry medium main battle tank or the Jackal light tank, they were all restricted by the terrain and terrain. They were separated from the infantry and tanks by the Japanese firepower, and used crawlers and engines to burn, and other means, the Iron Cavalry medium main battle tank also suffered some losses.
However, the troops of the two Japanese fronts were subject to continuous oppression of the 10th War Zone. The pressure of the Japanese army can be imagined. The Hu Ben Division and the Honor Division, which were originally waiting for an opportunity to wait, began to assemble at a station less than 50 kilometers away from Chaoyang. These were two mechanized and motorized rapid troops. Because through air reconnaissance, they learned that at least eight or nine Japanese divisions suddenly appeared from Miyun and rushed straight to Chaoyang. Even if the Japanese army was lying on the day and night every day, they were frequently attacked by the air force troops of the 10th War Zone. The Japanese army suffered great losses under the fierce air raid.
According to some of the latest Japanese secret codes deciphered by the Secret Information Office, it was confirmed that the commander of this unit was Okamura Yasuji, a historical demon invading China.
Zhang Xuewu was also very surprised that Okamura Yanji was one of the few Japanese soldiers who had always kept a calm mind. In terms of policy towards China, Okamura Yanji opposed the establishment of a large formal pseudo-regime. He believed that this would stimulate the Chongqing National Government to force him to embark on the road of a desperate war of resistance. He opposed the Japanese serving as officials at all levels in the occupied areas, and advocated the use of China to control China and give Chinese dignity. In history, Okamura Yanji once put forward the slogan of calling Chiang loves the people and constantly divided the anti-Japanese forces. When Okamura Yanji learned that a rape case occurred in the Japanese army, the military judge defended the criminals on the grounds that there was insufficient evidence and that the other party had not reported it. He was furious and severely punished the criminals on the grounds that there were no weak victims during the war.
It can be said that the destruction caused to China by demons like Okamura is much greater than that of butchers like Tanisuo. But the butcher can kill thousands of people, but it will eventually make the Chinese people more united and fight to the end. However, the path given by Okamura Nishi is very touching to the Chinese people, because the Chinese nation is fundamentally a farming nation, and it does not have too much aggression and barbaric will.
Simply put, if you give him a way out and give him a full meal, he will not rise up. The Chinese people are the kindest and best managed in the world. Only if you don’t poison their water and food, don’t take away their last piece of clothing, push them to the house and rape their women, they will work hard! There is no doubt that Okamura Yasuji has seen through the numbness of most Chinese people. If Okamura Yasuji’s claims in history can be completely implemented and implemented, I am afraid that China’s great cause of the War of Resistance will suffer great losses.
During this battle against the Japanese Kanto Army, Zhang Xuewu's previous reserves consumed huge amounts of materials. Fortunately, with the support of the Soviets, if the 10th War Zone was completely defeated and eliminated by the Japanese, the Soviet army would lose the opponent that could finally restrain the Japanese Kanto Army in the Far East.
During World War I, the Japanese swept across the Far East to the most revenge polar bears, so Zhang Xuewu's troops in the 10th War Zone must not be defeated. Stalin personally gave instructions, and the military dispatch team left in Moscow in the 10th War Zone immediately passed the good news back to Chengde. The Soviet Union no longer had planned control of the oil and strategic supplies of the 10th War Zone.
The Soviet Union made a large number of alloy armor plates, diesel engines, aviation engines, and chemical agents and ammunition made in the tenth war zone were almost no longer what the Soviet Union provided, but the Soviets gave whatever they wanted! But Zhang Xuewu had to admit that the explosive power of the Soviets such as the Black Sorkin, TNT, etc. was indeed not as powerful as the Germans.
