Chapter 342 The Devil's Butcher

Ishihara Guaner took a deep breath and said angrily, "There is no need to talk about the chariot. Even if the four-type chariot is equipped, it is difficult to resist the power of the enemy's new chariots. The four-type chariots that have not yet been officially produced are already lagging behind in the technical surname, so I mainly develop the new chariot immediately, just like the seventh. The second large-scale improvement of Zero War is generally the same. We can only expect Zero War to equip the Army and Navy Air Force at the end of the year to help us regain the lost air s control.

Mijiro Umezu nodded helplessly and said, "The problem of air defense is already the most serious problem of my Kwantung Army. The troops can't move during the day. What else can we talk about? For this reason, I loaded all 29 armored trains with anti-aircraft guns and transferred them to Jinzhou to assist in air defense, but the cost of ground air defense is so great that we can't imagine, especially the BF-109F fighters with silver bodies painted with blue tails, which were Zhang Xuewu's first fighters to be equipped. Now All the equipment was given to Baotou Aviation Academy. Now the students of the college have to turn around us a few times every day. Our fighters dare not take off to fight. The remaining four squadrons of the Kwantung Army Flight Division have withdrawn through the Yalu River! It's really a shame for the emperor's [***] people!"

Ishihara Guaner shook his head and said, "Mr. Commander-in-Chief, the air force and the navy are fighting for technical equipment. The army can fight for will, but the air navy can't! The strong will is not as strong as steel. The surprise attack on Baotou is an example, and the two reinforced chariots of our army in Chaoyang were blocked by several tanks in the other side, and casualties were exhausted! This is a huge gap between weapons! We can't let the loyal soldiers of the empire bleed endlessly because of the huge difference in weapons.

Mezumi Mijiro also sighed helplessly: "The abandoned small chariot captured before, the arsenal of Xinjing and Fengtian actually told me that it could not be imitated? They can even build armored trains, but such a small thing can't? I have sent someone to ship it back to China, so I can only place my hope in China. In the past few days, a black streamlined small round plane has appeared on the front line of Jinzhou. The officers and soldiers below call it Black Death. The diving speed is extremely fast, and the firepower is extraordinary. Five armored trains have been completely destroyed! Obviously, this is a newly equipped combat aircraft of Zhang Xuewu.

Ishihara Guaner clicked the map with his hand and said, "It is said that it came from Chaoyang. This kind of aircraft seems to have a very short range. Most of them are fixed or slow-moving targets such as chariots and fortresses that dive to attack the ground. There are at least two 37mm cannons and many machine guns on it, which is a great threat to the ground forces and its low-altitude speed. Is the rotation speed much faster than that of the anti-aircraft gun? I can't figure out that the military industry of the imperial empire is so unbearable compared with the hot river in the next three or five years? I really don't understand what the high-ranking officials on the imperial court are proud of? A joint fleet? When the powerful battleships can't drive on land, they also have to build two super warships that were originally cancelled. It is said that the names have been figured out, Yamato and Musashi!"

Mijiro Umezu was also a little anxious and said, "The navy built those giant ships that were completely useless, but the army was chased and beaten. The army's army weapons and equipment of the imperial army were aimed at the current situation in Asia, not to deal with all the German or Soviet armies like Zhang Xuewu, the artillery and chariots of the European army. The number is far from comparable to that of the empire. They are developing rapidly, and we are sitting in the well and watching the sky.

Ishihara Guaner shook his head and pointed to the Soviet border on the map and said, "These are not the most terrible. The most terrible thing is that the imperial army has an innate psychological advantage over the Soviet Russian army. Most of this advantage comes from the Russian War in 1905. The winner, the imperial army has always looked down on the Russian [***] team, and now it seems to look down on the current Soviet Red Army? Especially when the staff headquarters received information that most of the excellent and experienced commanders in the Red Army were executed due to Stalin's rebellion, some generals and many people in the military headquarters and staff headquarters in the Kwantung Army disdained the Red Army? Even Zhang Xuewu, who provided weapons by the Soviet Union, can't beat them. Why do they think we can defeat the Soviets? This is simply bastard logic. We can only constantly put pressure on the Soviets. With the coordination of the German side, the Soviets are forced into a crisis of fighting on both sides and make concessions to us. It is extremely irresponsible to unilaterally provoke war by the Soviet Union, and it is a complete loss of irrational and crazy behavior.

Meizu Mijiro took a deep breath and said, "This is nothing. The Tokyo base camp believes that the Soviet army after the purge is not worried. Some guys who have not even commanded an infantry brigade arrogantly claim that one division of the imperial army can deal with three divisions of the Soviet army? Therefore, before the battle against Rehe, the belligerence of the Kwantung Army was stimulated. I sent people to do a detailed investigation. Almost all the officers and soldiers who participated in the war were eager to fight with the Soviet army, but it was very terrible that more than 90% of the officers knew nothing about the situation of the Soviet army, but despised their opponents for no reason? The whole Kwantung Army was in a kind of pathological excitement. All the people were ready to move. They arrogantly thought that there was an opportunity to show their strength to the Soviet army. They were waiting to learn a lesson in the tenth war zone. After annihilating Zhang Xuewu's troops, Chen Bing Heilongjiang and other places were ready to invade the Far East! In fact, they still don't understand that the battle against Soviet Russia must be coordinated by the Germans. The imperial army can only make a fatal blow at a critical moment. The imperial side alone is an extremely unwise choice for Soviet Russia.

Mezumi Mijiro was talking with Ishihara Guaner. At this time, a burly Japanese army lieutenant general came in, barely 160 centimeters. According to the jokes of later generations, he was walking in the room with his head held high. If he was not careful, it was easy to slip under the bed, especially the standard. The sanitary beard.

This person is Anan Weiji, the commander of the First Front Army deliberately selected by Meizu Mijiro. Anan Weiji is a very mediocre guy. To put it bluntly, he is very well managed. He is obedient to the extent that he is not right or wrong. Basically, there is no difference. In later generations, he is also a leader who is willing to take. People, so the first thing Umezu Mijiro did when he took office was to transfer the original commander of the First Front Army, Shuzhou Libing and the commander of the Second Front Army, and Ishiya Rensuke, and organized the Kwantung Army into two front armies and direct subordinate troops, with Anan Weiji and Yamashita Fengwen as the commanders of the Front Army respectively.

Anan knew that he was not smart, so he had been following Elder Suzuki in the staff headquarters. Anan also knew that he had never been a leader's material, so he did not join any faction.

This time, Anan also knows the purpose of Meizu Mijiro's transfer to him, because among all the Japanese army generals, he is the only one who has visited the French Macedonian defense line on the spot and knows what a strong defense line is. However, Anan does not think that the Japanese army is limited. It is appropriate for the national strength to build a line of defense in Jinzhou, but even if it is something that he does not agree with, as long as there is an order, Anan will be very happy to implement it. This kind of surname is also extremely rare among Japanese generals.

Ishihara Guaner stretched out his hand and said, "Ananjun, you're welcome. Your Excellency the commander-in-chief called you here to study how to build a defense belt with a depth of 400 kilometers and five kilometers in two years or less?"

If it were an ordinary Japanese general, he would definitely tell Ishihara that you were crazy, with a defense line of 400 kilometers and a depth of five kilometers? Will the construction be completed within two years? Isn't it crazy? However, Anan stood up and said, "Please rest assured that the commander-in-chief and the chief of staff. I have sufficient ways to have sufficient materials. I have insufficient materials. Please provide me with enough labor. I want to inspect the lot first, and also ask the commander's surveying and mapping, construction, engineering, Man's railway and other departments to coordinate comprehensively."

Meizu Mijiro nodded with satisfaction and smiled at Ishihara and said, "Ananjun, please don't be polite. If you have something to do, you can contact the Chief of Staff directly. In terms of manpower, I will order how much Manchuria should be requisitioned. There are more than 30 million people in Manchuria. It's normal to transfer two or three million!"

At the door of the headquarters conference room, Anan Weiji, who was about to leave, suddenly said to Ishihara: "Your Excellency the commander-in-chief ordered the Kwantung Army to build fortifications in Jinzhou. Naturally, the workers arrested are all adult Chinese in Manchukuo, but if they are put back after the construction, the fortifications will be leaked. In order to ensure safety, after these Chinese workers repair the fortifications, the workers will be centralized and eliminated in a thorough way, so as not to disclose the secrets in the fortifications. After all, the resources we can use are limited, and our defense line is not really impenetrable. Only in this way can our defense line be issued. It's a swing."

Ishihara Guan'er was slightly stunned and said, "In two years, the cumulative investment of Manchuria workers should be at least 50,000 or 600,000. These people are young and middle-aged. I'm afraid the side effects of all massacres will be too great? Is this extremely detrimental to the stability of Manchuria? Is there any other way?"

Anan hesitated for a moment and said, "Then let's give some benefits to the Chinese people first, promise to pay the salary after two years, and give some every month three months in advance, so that these workers will also have a job. They are willing to work hard and can control the number of people at about 200,000. After all, the two years is too short, and all the divisions stationed in the defense also have to draw. Transfer one-third of the reincarnation to participate in the construction. Such a high-intensity laborer will definitely die in large numbers. In the end, only half of the people we need to solve. These people can be solved one after another in the two or three months before the completion, and 30,000 or 40,000 people need to be dealt with every month! There is no pressure!"
