Chapter 188 Kwantung Army Strategy
After the Manchurian Incident, Nanjiro was not included in the reserve like Kanya Fansan, but also sat on the throne of the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, which fully showed that Nanjiro was very good at being a man. Although Nanjiro did not make any achievements in military command, he suppressed guerrillaism and anti-Manchu resistance in history. But it can be said to be very virtuous.
In the General Headquarters of the Kwantung Army in Xinjing, Nanjiro, dressed in a formal dress, wore the first-class honor awarded by Emperor Hirohito ten days ago, which is an extremely rare honor. Before this chapter, most of this chapter was awarded to the prince and members of the royal family. Nanjiro, as the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, can be able to take office before he takes office. Getting this honor can also be regarded as an unexpected surprise.
Looking at his own chief of staff, Yasuji Okamura, deputy chief of staff, Seishiro Itagaki, as well as his 26 division commanders and commander of the garrison, Jiro Itamoto, the commander of the gendarmerie, Tojo Hideki, Lieutenant General Ogasawara of the direct flight division, and a group of direct subordinates, Nanjiro nodded with satisfaction, and the heroes of the Showa faction and Nanjiro and other old-fashioned figures felt great pressure. After such a fiasco in Fanrehe, Ningji Okamura, as the deputy chief of staff, was not only not removed from his post, but also promoted to the Lieutenant General Chief of Staff of the Kwantung Army? If it is normal, I'm afraid it's a difficult arrangement for the army to say!
It is not difficult to imagine the background, because Ningji Okamura formed the Baden-Baden Alliance with Nagata Iron Mountain and Obata Toshishiro in those years, vowed to overthrow the army's Changzhou Valve Elder Tanaka Yiyi First Class, the backbone of the army, and supported the crown prince, Hirohito, to ascend the throne of the throne. Nagata Tieshan and Obata Tomishiro were the backbone of the imperial Taoist sect. On the other side, Yasuji Okamura is the emperor's confidant Konoe. Nanjiro has heard the following comments that Okamura Yasuji and others are Showa.
Although this remark made him very unhappy, for Nanjiro's city government, how can all the joys and sorrows be expressed on his face? Especially for those who want to be promoted, does the emperor have to be sorry for him? And Nanjiro noticed that there seemed to be a lot of Showa schools in the conference room? Yamashita Fengwen, Umezu Mijiro, Matsui Ishimoto, Isotani Rensuke, etc., these people seem to have been promoted to the Kwantung Army through various channels in the past six months.
After looking around for a week, Nanjiro took a deep breath and said, "Gentlemen! The next strategy I want to tell you is the top secret of the empire. His Majesty has authorized the base camp to carry out the second phase of the mobilization order. The Imperial Army will form the main forces of 60 divisions, including chariots, artillery, cavalry, engineers, briers and other special forces. The 40 divisions mobilized this time will be B. The formation of Zhonghe Dingzhong is deployed in China, of which about 45 divisions will be included in the battle sequence of our Kwantung Army. At that time, the total strength of our Kwantung Army will soar to nearly 800,000 people, equipped with at least five chariot brigades, eight heavy artillery regiments, reading flight divisions and other special technical arms.
As soon as Nanjiro's words fell, there was an excited voice in the venue. The audience, including Ningji Okamura and others, were also excited. Obviously, the final preparation of this expansion greatly exceeded their expectations. After the Kwantung Army Command was upgraded to the General Command, many people were guessing that Guan In the future establishment of the Eastern Army, the purpose of the strategic deployment of such a huge thing was obviously not as simple as to annihilate the Zhang Xuewu Legion, which posed a serious threat to Manchuria. The people present quickly calmed down from the noise.
Nanjiro glanced at the two colonists who were still eagerly discussing, and snorted: "What is the discipline of the emperor's [***] people? I'm still in the training. Which army are you two from?
Commander-in-Chief Nanjiro, who is known as a good man in the military headquarters, got angry. Ningji Okamura, who was beside him, did not dare to neglect. He hurriedly got up and pointed to the short guy with a big face and introduced, "This is the trusted captain of the 38th regiment of the infantry of the 16th Division, the commander of Tianlu!"
Oh? Nanjiro frowned slightly, as if recalling something. After a while, he was suddenly surprised and said, "Are you the Tianlu Chaoyi who submitted the "Death Training Law" to the Army Province? Very good. Your suggestion is very good. Let the timid soldiers kill a few people with bayonets, which will make them bold and extremely brave in the battle. I remember that you graduated from the 29th phase of Lu University. Do a good job and have a lot to do!"
Many Japanese generals on the side looked sideways at this guy with a fierce expression like a butcher. Maybe only such a guy can come up with such a way to carry out quick training in combat effectiveness! Although the Army Province did not publicly promote this training method, the Kwantung Army and all the troops stationed in North Korea are trying their best to promote and train. Especially in the process of suppressing the anti-Manchu armed forces, it has become a compulsory course for new recruits to let soldiers kill several Chinese people.
Today, I was able to see the initiator of this training. Many Japanese generals and officers feel very happy and excited. Nanjiro is also very happy that such a smart and insightful officer can serve under his own.
Then Ningji Okamura introduced another colonel to Nanjiro, his voice was deliberately lower, but everyone in the hall still heard it very clearly, Numata Tokushige!
This is an uproar, including Nanjiro! If Zhang Xuewu knows, he will definitely scold the good name for being spoiled by the beasts. Numata Dezhong is a born beastless person. He has two records that are record holders in the Japanese army. The first is that he likes to kill, and the second is that he likes to destroy foreign virgins!
He forcibly annijud his sister when he was 15 years old. As a result, his father, as a pervert, not only did not beat him, but also indulged him. Girls are used by men sooner or later. Is it different from using it sooner or later? It's a waste to leave it dry. Besides, it's not bad to use it.
As a result, Numata Deshige often showed off his experience of enjoying his sister with his father when he was studying in Lu Shi, and he openly declared that he would annihilate 10,000 virgins before the age of 70. In fact, he did the same. Not long after Numata Dezhong was transferred to Manchuria, 29 robberies occurred. In the incident of the girl, at that time, the gap between the new and old commanders, Ningji Okamura could only laugh at himself for being too energetic. As a result, Numata Tokushige recently robbed the niece of the big man Zheng Xiaoxu.
What makes the Kwantung Army even more ashamed is that the captain even recorded the clear passage of each time in the form of a Japanese record and contributed to domestic newspapers? If it hadn't been for the quick response of the military department, I'm afraid the Kwantung Army would have been notorious for this "respectable" colonel!
Nanjiro nodded slightly. Numata Tokushige was indeed a rare fierce general, but his behavior was tantamount to chaos. What he needed to control Manchuria for a long time was the cooperation of the Manchurian people, so Nanjiro made up his mind to transfer Numata Tokushige's 47th Infantry Regiment. To the Rehe border, the emperor of Shangao is far away, lest he embarrass the Kwantung Army to make him unable to explain what he did.
Nanjiro returned to his seat and slowly sat down and said, "Gentlemen! When I was in charge of the Kwantung Army, I hope that all of you here can cooperate. The first thing to do is to clean up the anti-Manchurian anti-Japanese armed elements in Manchuria. All departments take turns to go out to train the troops. As soon as the imperial saber comes out of the sheath, it will see blood! Please come to the map.
The two staff officers opened a huge map, and the key points of the [***] team's solid defense and the troops along the Shanhaiguan and Rehe River were all highlighted. It can be seen how much effort the Japanese army's intelligence system had done before. Looking at these clearly marked China's military numbers and firepower distributions, Nanjiro Satisfied with the fact that Kenji Tobihara, who had been promoted to major general not far away, nodded slightly and said, "My official's understanding of the strategic intention is to defend Manchuria to the greatest extent, establish a buffer zone in North China, touch the interests of the United States, Britain, France and other countries in China as little as possible, and eliminate Nanjing under Zhang Xuewu's headquarters. The Central Army of the Political Axe gave a great shock to China's Political Axe. It attacked the enemy first and forced it to be afraid!"
Nanjiro looked around at everyone and picked up the baton and said to the far east, "This is what the empire lost during the Russian War. When the time is ripe, it will be incorporated into the territory of the empire again."
Ningji Okamura frowned slightly. This is obviously a continuation of the so-called Tanaka route, minimizing the strategic intention of conflict with European and American countries and stabilizing Manchuria to defeat the Soviet Red Army in the Far East for a decisive battle. However, Ningji Okamura is very clear that the imperial army of this empire is indeed very invincible and powerful, but It is only the navy and naval aviation that are powerful. The army and army aviation are no match for the Soviet army in terms of quantity, weapons and firepower.
But the Soviets did not have any fleet in the Far East at all. The Pacific Fleet of the United States, the Far East Fleet of Britain, and the Indochina Fleet of France are not worth mentioning in front of the joint fleet of the Imperial Navy. It can be said that Japan's poor troops seem to focus too much on the navy, because the navy won two. The war is related to the fate of the country, the Qing Dynasty and the Russian War, so I pressed all the weights on the navy. Knowing the defeat of the Rehe Army, some people gradually saw that the joint fleet of the empire was so huge that there was no comparable opponent at all?
And the weapons and firepower of the Imperial Army can only follow the [***] team to find the so-called sense of superiority and weapon modernization, and attack the Soviet Union before the five-year plan of the Soviet Union is completed? In the view of Ningji Okamura, there is no doubt that they are a group of crazy people. Japanese alone can't defeat the Soviets. You should know that all the tanks of the whole Japanese now are not more than one-third of the Soviets deployed in the Far East. Aircraft and artillery are far away from the Soviet side, and the Soviet Union also has a broad strategic depth as a cover. West The harsh winter in Berulia is the tomb of all invaders.
