Chapter 119 Okamura's Troubles
Zhang Xuewu naturally understood Li Songtao's intention. The first thing to be firm was the belief and confidence of the commander to fight to the end, so he smiled and said, "The little boy was originally negative!" We are 17,000 warriors who guard the gate of the country with the heart of death and correct the name of [***] among me. Can he gnaw on Chengde in 20 days plus 50,000 casualties? How many troops does a bigger country have? They can't afford to fight. It doesn't take a few times to fight like this. It's time for me to beat all the men!"
As soon as Zhang Xuewu's voice fell, Xu Guohui smiled and said, "That's good! It is said that I am good, gentle and obedient. Let's carry forward the international spirit that the teacher said? Don't you just borrow some seeds from them and turn them into their own people in a few generations?
Huang Tao stared at Xu Guohui and said, "The teacher is talking about the humane spirit of free internationalism. Don't use bad words indiscriminately! It's not attached to the edge at all. If you really want to be a woman, wait for the division's counterattack to enter North Korea to catch a few for you. As long as I'm the director of the political department, I promise that no one will beat you.
"Then I thank you. I'll kowtow to you!" Xu Guohui pretended to bow to Huang Tao and made everyone laugh.
Suddenly, the atmosphere was much more relaxed. Seeing this, Zhang Xuewu continued: "I can't beat Chengde. In fact, the main reason is that we are desperate from division commanders to ordinary soldiers. Can't they beat us? So they will think of ways to relax our will, pretending that snakes give us hope. Who wants to die if they can live? As soon as we relax, the good guy said that he was serious. In a fierce fight, we will not be defeated! And it is said that I am a famous nation that is not as good as farting. The credibility of their words does not need to be as the chastity and loyalty of the Goryeo people!"
In the former enemy headquarters of the Japanese army, the heat emitted by the heater quickly formed a smoky scene. The sad division commanders and brigade commanders were as silent as gold. As if I was not ready to speak today, I smoked, but today, Banbenzheng Youweimen, Xiyi, Matsuki Zhiliang, Hirose The attitude of these division heads of Shouzhu seems to be much more obedient.
The commander of Lieutenant General Pu Mu of the 16th Division, who has been serving as a blocking attack on the outside line of Chengde, seems a little angry? Ningji Okamura looked around and took a deep breath. He, the Deputy Chief of Staff of the Kwantung Army, was probably the first time that he was really recognized and valued by the commanders of these divisions. The reason was very simple. The four divisions that attacked Chengde Rang participated in the war suffered heavy casualties. From the commander of the major general brigade to the commander of the colonel, the team [***] team has After the obligation, several generals were added to the army.
Ningci Okamura also knows that it is not that the division commanders of these old qualifications really recognize themselves, but that they can't take such a big blame. To put it simply, this is the attack powerless, and to put it serious, this is to humiliate the prestige of the imperial army. The strength of the five divisions has strengthened the heavy artillery, chariots and the air force, and still can't defeat the enemy. Question mark The four divisions that participated in the attack totaled more than 40,000 casualties? Ningji Okamura didn't know how to report this result to Commander Nobuyoshi Muto. I'm afraid this is not just a matter of humiliating the prestige of the imperial army, which may shake the formulation and implementation of the follow-up strategy of the Northern Branch of the General Staff Headquarters and even the Military Department!
Ningji Okamura knows that both the staff headquarters and the army province are now formulating the "Chaoyu" plan after the Manchukuo plan. This plan belongs to the top secret of the Japanese military. Only a few people know that Okamura Ningji has only heard of the follow-up. Several plans, generally after the occupation of Manchuria and Mongolia, consolidate North China into a non-armed zone, seek sufficient strategic buffers, take advantage of Manchuria's mineral resources and the industrial base of the empire, take the absolute advantage of the Imperial Navy over the Soviet Russian Navy, cooperate with the army to advance into the vast Siberian Plains, and fight a decisive battle with Soviet Russia. It is said to follow the Japanese strategic policy arrangement after World War I.
However, at the beginning of the Battle of Rehe, the defeat of the middle [***] team made the General Staff Headquarters and the Army Province ecstatic. Undoubtedly, the occupation of China's vast land and rich resources made the Japanese Empire salivate. However, some insightful people like Ningji Okamura of the Military Department and Staff Headquarters were worried that if the empire did not have 20 to 30 years. Time to develop, build and integrate Manchuria is eager to invest in the next comprehensive whale-swallow war against China. Once the main force of the Imperial Army is trapped in the Chinese battlefield, it will affect the implementation of the decisive strategy of the empire's overall hegemony over the Asia-Pacific region.
Now the last battle of Chengde in the Battle of Rehe has made almost all of me realize a problem. The [***] team is not all sanded troops. Among China's millions of troops, if there are more armies such as the 106th Division and the new First Division, let alone the existing military strength of the empire. Strategic Rehe seeks to make North China a non-armed zone. I'm afraid that even the front line of Shanhaiguan, Jinzhou, Chaoyang and Fengtian will face the threat of the [***] team.
Under the bronze wall and iron wall of Chengde, Kangcun Ningci also had to admit that the prestige of the imperial army did sweep the ground fiercely and cleanly, and even hit his head and broke blood. The [***] team was not vegetarian. The fifth army commanded by Zhang Zhizhong in Shanghai has left a very deep mark on Ningci Gangcun. Elephant, I didn't expect that the new first division, who is also a German engineer, would be more powerful! He has the posture of resisting the enemy and defending to the last soldier.
Ningci Okamura has not figured out how to appease these frustrated division commanders and brigade commanders. Pu Mu, the commander of the 16th Division, who has been responsible for blocking the reinforcements of the enemy along the front-line gate of the Great Wall, opened his mouth first and launched a prison.
Pu Muxian, who looked very pale and looked around at everyone's depressed expressions and said to Ningci Okamura with great dissatisfaction, "Your Excellency, I want to know when our army can break through Chengde's defense? The four divisions strengthened heavy artillery and chariots, equipped with the aviation team, why can't they attack half of the city guarded by one division under the heavy casualties?
"Fack!" Banben Zhengyouweimen suddenly patted the table and said, "Since the 16th Division participated in the war, it has not been used as a general reserve of the campaign. What qualifications do you have to criticize others who are fighting in the forefront? Since you, the head of Pumu Division, think Chengde is so easy to fight, my sixth division will give you all the attack positions of our department tomorrow, so that you can show your skills and shine on Wu Xun!"
Banbenzheng Youweimen has aroused the resonance of several other division commanders and the brigade commanders below. The tragedy of Chengde's offensive and defensive battle has long exceeded the fierceness of the offensive and defensive battle of Lushun during the Russian War. In just seven days, more than 30,000 officers and soldiers drank blood on the battlefield, and nearly 10,000 minor and seriously injured. How tragic it is!
Pu Mu stared at the right guard and said, "Don't be embarrassed! As an emperor, if you defeat the war, you have to shift the responsibility to the enemy? How brave and tenacious is the enemy? Are there many advanced weapons and equipment? Is this what the emperor [***] did? Do you know how to write the word shame? Why didn't one person apologize by caesarean section after such a huge failure? Now that you have decided to survive, don't be afraid that others will say you!"
Pu Mu's words hit everyone's heart hard, yes! Without one or two high-ranking commanders to take responsibility for such a huge fiasco, I'm afraid they won't be able to pass it anyway!
Caesarean section to wash away the shame? Everyone feels a little out of breath with these eight words! Pu Mu sighed for a long time and said, "Although my 16th division is fighting with the middle [***], the campaign logistics department has concentrated most of the materials to support your divisions. Since our department entered Chaoyang on the 21st, more than 390 people have frozen dead and more than 3,700 people have been frozen, and the overall non-combat personnel have been reduced by more than five. Thousands of people, this is one-third of the combat soldiers of my division! If you wait for ten days and don't need to be shot by a soldier, my 16th Division will also completely collapse.
