Chapter 342 The Devil Butcher

Ishihara Kanir took a deep breath and said angrily: "There is no need to say about the tank. Even if the four-type is installed, it is difficult to resist the power of the new tanks like the enemy. The technical performance of the four-type tank has not yet been officially produced. Therefore, I mainly develop new tanks immediately, just like the seventh large-scale improvement of Zero War. We can only look forward to Zero War equipped with Army and Navy aviation at the end of the year to help us regain our lost air superiority."

Meijiro Umezu nodded helplessly and said, "The air defense problem is already the most serious problem of my Kwantung Army. The troops cannot maneuver during the day, so what else can we talk about? For this reason, I installed all the twenty-nine armored trains with anti-aircraft guns and transferred them to Jinzhou to assist in air defense. However, the cost of ground air defense is very high, and it is so large that we can't imagine. Especially those bf-109f fighters with silver bodies painted with blue tails, which are the first fighters that Zhang Xuewu started to be equipped with. Now all the equipment is given to Baotou Aviation Academy. Now the students of the academy have to turn around our heads a few times every day. Our fighters dare not take off to fight. The remaining four squadrons of the Kwantung Army Flight Division have retreated across the Yalu River! It is really a shame for the great Japanese emperor!"

Ishihara Kanir shook his head and said, "His Excellency Commander-in-Chief, the aviation troops and the navy are capable of fighting with technical equipment. The army can compete with will, but the air and navy cannot! The will in strong will is not as strong as steel. A surprise attack on Baotou is an example. In Chaoyang, our army's two reinforced tank corps were blocked by a few opponent's tanks, and all casualties were exhausted! These are all huge gaps in weapons! We cannot continue to bleed because of the huge differences in weapons."

Meijiro Umezu sighed helplessly, "The abandoned small chariot I seized before, the arsenal of Shinkyo and Fengtian said to me that it is impossible to imitate it? They can even build armored trains, but such a small thing cannot be? I have sent people to transport them back to China, so I can only pin my hopes in China. Moreover, in the past few days, a kind of black streamlined small round-circular aircraft appeared on the front line of Jinzhou. The officers and soldiers below all called it the Black Death God, with extremely fast diving speed and extraordinary firepower. Five armored trains have been completely destroyed! Obviously, this is a combat aircraft with new equipment from Zhang Xuewu's headquarters."

Ishihara Kanir pointed to the map with his hand and said, "It is said that it took off from the sun. This kind of aircraft seems to have a very short range. Most of them are fixed or slow-moving targets that dive to attack the ground, fortresses, etc., and there are at least two 37mm cannons and multiple machine guns on it, which poses a great threat to the ground troops. The speed at low altitude is much faster than the rotation speed of the anti-aircraft gun direction aircraft? I can't figure out that the military industry of the dignified empire is so unbearable in the past three or five years. I really can't figure out what the senior officials in the imperial court are proud of themselves? Are they combined fleets? They can't even drive on land even if they can't drive onto the land. They also have to build two super warships that were originally cancelled. It is said that the names have been thought out, Yamato and Musashi!"

Meijiro Umezu was also a little worried and said: "The navy built those giant ships that were completely useless, but the army was chased and beaten. The army's weapons and equipment of the Imperial Army were targeted at the current situation in Asia, not to deal with all German or Soviet troops like Zhang Xuewu. The number of artillery equipment and tanks of the European army were far from comparable to the imperial side. People are developing rapidly, while we are watching the sky from the well."

Ishihara Kanir shook his head and pointed to the Soviet border on the map and said, "These are not the most terrifying. The most terrifying thing is that the Imperial Imperial Army has an innate psychological advantage over the Soviet Russian army. Most of this advantage comes from the Russo-Japanese War in 1905. As the winner of the war, the Imperial Imperial Army has always looked down on the Russian team, and now it seems to look down on the current Soviet Red Army even more? Especially when the General Staff Headquarters received information, due to Stalin's anti-counterfeiting, most of the outstanding and experienced commanders in the Red Army were

After the news of his execution, some generals in the Kwantung Army, military headquarters and many people from the General Staff Headquarters were even more disdainful of the Red Army. Even Zhang Xuewu, who provided weapons from the Soviet Union, could not defeat him. Why do they think we could defeat the Soviets? This is simply a bastard logic. We can only put constant pressure on the Soviets. With the coordination of Germany, the Soviets forced us to make concessions to us due to the crisis of fighting on both sides. It was extremely irresponsible for provoking wars on the Soviet Union unilaterally, and it was a complete loss of rationality and crazy behavior."

Meijiro Umezu took a deep breath and said, "This is nothing. The Tokyo Baseball believes that the Soviet army after the Great Anti-Revolutionary Rebellion is no longer worth worrying. Some guys who don't know what it means to have not even commanded an infantry brigade arrogantly claimed that one division of the Imperial Imperial Army can deal with three divisions of the Soviet army? So before the battle against Rekawa, the militant sentiment of various Kanto Army units was aroused. I sent someone to conduct a detailed investigation. Almost all the officers and soldiers who participated in the war were eager to fight with the Soviet army, but what was very terrible is that more than 90% of the officers were in love with the Soviet army.

Not only did they know nothing, but they looked down on their opponents without reason? The entire Kwantung Army was in a pathological excitement. Everyone was ready to move. They were arrogant and believed that the opportunity to show their strength to the Soviet army was coming. They waited to teach the tenth war zone and annihilated Zhang Xuewu's troops, and then they were invading Heilongjiang and other places to prepare for invasion of the Far East! In fact, they still didn't understand that the war against the Soviet Union must be coordinated by the Germans. The Imperial Army could only take a fatal blow at a critical moment. It was extremely unwise to use the imperial side to the Soviet Union."

Meijiro Umezu talked with Ishihara Kanir. At this time, a Japanese lieutenant general who was dressed as a burly Japanese man walked in. He was barely 160 cm tall. According to the jokes of later generations, he was strolling in the room with his head held high, and he would easily slip under the bed if he accidentally left, especially the standard hygiene.

This person is Anan Weiji, the commander of the First Front Army by Mijiro Umezu, who was deliberately selected by Mijiro Umezu. Anan Weiji is a very moderate guy. To put it bluntly, he is very easy to manage and is obedient to the point of being right or wrong. He basically never makes any mistakes. In later generations, he was also a leader who was willing to lead his own people. Therefore, the first thing Umezumi Mijiro took office was to transfer the original commander of the First Front Army, Huo Libing and the commander of the Second Front Army, Risuke Isotani, and organized the Kanto Army into two front army and direct troops, with Anan Weiji and Yamashita Tomofumi respectively as commanders of the Front Army.

Anan knew that he was not smart, so he kept following senior Suzuki when he was in the General Staff. Anan also knew that he had never been a leader's material, so he did not join any faction.

This time, Anan Weiji also knew the purpose of Umezu Mijiro's transfer, because among all the Japanese generals, he was the only one who visited the Macedonian defense line in France on the spot and understood what a solid defense line was. However, Anan Weiji did not think that it was appropriate to build a defense line in Jinzhou with Japan's limited national strength. However, even if it was something he did not agree with, as long as there was an order, Anan Weiji would be very happy to implement it. This personality is extremely rare among Japanese generals.

Ishihara Kanji stretched out his hand and said, "Don't be polite, Anan, the Commander-in-Chief called you to study how to build a 400-kilometer-deep five-kilometer defense belt in two years or less?"

If it were an ordinary Japanese general, he would definitely tell Ishihara Kaner that you were crazy. The 400-kilometer defense line and five kilometers deep? It was completed within two years? Isn't this crazy? However, Anan Weiji stood up and said, "Please rest assured that the Commander-in-Chief and the Chief of Staff are at ease. I have sufficient materials. I have sufficient solutions. I have insufficient materials. I have insufficient solutions. Please provide me with enough labor. I want to inspect the location first. I also ask the Commander to conduct comprehensive coordination in surveying, construction, engineering, Manchuria and other departments."

Meijiro Umezu nodded with satisfaction and smiled at Ishihara and said, "Anan Jun, please don't be polite. If you have any questions, please contact the Chief of Staff directly. I will order the Manchukuo to recruit as much as you need in terms of manpower. There are more than 30 million people in Manchuria, and it is normal to draw two or three million!"

At the door of the headquarters conference room, Anan Weiji, who was about to say goodbye, suddenly said to Ishihara: "The Commander-in-Chief ordered the Kanto Army to build fortifications in Jinzhou. The workers arrested were naturally adult Chinese in Manchuria. However, if they were put back after the construction was completed, the fortifications would be leaked. In order to ensure safety, after these Chinese workers completed the fortifications, they would be detained in a centralized manner and eliminated them in a thorough manner, so as not to disclose the secrets in the fortifications. After all, the resources we can use are limited, and our line of defense is not really airtight. Only in this way can our line of defense play a role."

Ishihara Kanir was slightly stunned and said, "The cumulative investment of Manchurian workers in two years will be at least 500,000 or 600,000. These people are young and middle-aged. If all the massacres are all too serious, the side effects may be too great? This is extremely unfavorable to the stability of Manchuria? Is there any other way?"

Anan Wei hesitated for a moment and said, "Then let's give the Chinese people some sweet things first, promise to pay the wages in two years, and give some three months in advance every month. In this way, these workers will have a hard time and will work hard to control the number of people to about 200,000. After all, two years are too short, and all divisions and garrisons will also need to draw one-third of the reincarnation to participate in the construction. Such high-intensity laborers will definitely die in large numbers. In the end, only half of them need to be solved. These people can be solved in two or three months before the completion of the work. Three or four thousand people need to be dealt with every month! There is not much pressure!"
