Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After Tanaka Shinichi clicked on the location of Rehe on the map, he did not care about the unhappy expressions on the two giants of the Kwantung Army in front of him after hearing his judgment. He continued: "Once this anti-Manchu armed force seizes the  The line from Western Manchuria to Rehe will not only be able to outflank Xinjing and the grain-producing counties to the west of Xinjing from the southwest, but also threaten the Western Liaoning Corridor and the Beining Railway."

    "It may even endanger the South Manchuria Railway and the empire's industrial base in South Manchuria. And I think the more important thing is that no matter what their real goal is, there is no doubt that their move  I want to open up the connection with mainland China.¡±

    "Although the so-called Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces, which was previously trapped in the vast and sparsely populated northern Manchuria, had a certain ability to compete with the Kwantung Army with the support of the United States and the Soviet Union. However, the current lack of human resources in northern Manchuria made it difficult for them to compete with the Kwantung Army.  The expansion of its military strength has been greatly restricted.¡±

    "The lack of reserve soldiers allows the size of the army to be maintained at a smaller scale. Judging from their current total strength, they can certainly compete with the Kwantung Army in a short period of time. But over time, they will not be able to compete with the Kwantung Army.  Compared to the continuous supply of troops they can get from the mainland, they have almost no backup power.¡±

    "You are all senior commanders. You should be aware of the consumption of manpower in a war, especially the consumption of young and middle-aged men. After a battle, although they have caused heavy losses to the Kwantung Army, I think with the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Army  With their tenacious will, their casualties will not be too light. Although we have tens of thousands of casualties, their casualties will definitely not be lower than ours."

    "Judging from the limited internal intelligence reported to the base camp by the Kwantung Army, they are currently engaged in large-scale industrial construction. Its scale can be said to be the largest since the Westernization Movement in the late Qing Dynasty. Such a large-scale industry,  Not only do we need industrial equipment, but we also need a sufficient number of workers. Otherwise, those factories are just a bunch of decorations.¡±

    "Since I took over the First Department of the General Staff Headquarters, I have made a detailed analysis and understanding of the situation in Manchuria. In my personal opinion, the biggest difference between this so-called Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces and other anti-Japanese armed forces in China is that although they  There is foreign aid, but there is not as much manpower as other Chinese armed forces.¡±

    "So I think they appear in Western Manchuria at this time and have concentrated so many troops and equipment. It is definitely not what we think on the surface. If I am not wrong, they chose Western Manchuria this time.  As an important assault location, its real purpose is to open up connections with the hinterland of China to obtain the rich human resources in the hinterland of China as an effective means to solve their urgent needs.¡±

    "You must know that from Rehe and Chahar to China's densely populated Hebei and Shanxi, it can be said that it is close at hand. Once it seizes the line of the inner Great Wall between Rehe and Chahar, it can start from the North China region of China  Get a steady stream of manpower to solve the biggest shortcomings and shortcomings it faces.¡±

    "You should not be so naive as to think that the North China Communist Army appeared in Jehol just to replenish the blood of their allies. You must know that compared with the anti-Japanese armed forces in Manchuria, although its base areas in North China are relatively barren, they are important in the overall strategy of China.  Among them, it is much more important than Manchuria because Manchuria is too far away from the base camp of the Communist army, which is the so-called Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region.¡±

    "If the Communist Army invested so much energy in Rehe just to transfuse blood from its so-called North China base, I don't think it was the reason at all. The Communist Army has always been known for its cunning in fighting the Imperial Army. Let them  It is simply impossible to abandon North China for the so-called Manchuria, not to mention that the main forces of the two major strategic groups have come out. "

    "These communist forces should know that the consequences of their actions are likely to lose what they call Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei and Taihang, the two so-called anti-Japanese base areas behind enemy lines. So I think if we only look at the actions of the anti-Japanese armed forces in Manchuria, we can  I thought this was an isolated action, but with the Communist troops in North China joining in, it was definitely not an ordinary strategic deployment.¡±

    "Judging from the current situation of the anti-Manchurian and anti-Japanese forces, which have caused more trouble to the empire than the China government forces, once they are allowed to open up connections with the mainland of China and receive a steady stream of manpower and material resources, it will be a great blow to the empire.  Speaking of talent will be the biggest trouble."

    "The current so-called anti-Japanese armed forces called the Anti-Union Alliance have already caused enough trouble to the Kwantung Army and even the entire empire. If they are allowed to establish direct land connections with the so-called base areas of the Communist Army in North China, then the entire Manchuria will  There will never be peace.¡±

    "And judging from the current equipment and strength of the so-called Anti-Japanese Alliance, as well as the combat effectiveness it has shown before, once they get the rich manpower support from mainland China, it is even possibleThreaten the security of the entire Manchuria.  In other words, once they are given sufficient development opportunities, they may completely destroy the empire's rule in Manchuria.  "

    "The Manchu and Mongolian regions are the lifeline of the empire. Once the Manchu and Mongolian regions are lost, the empire's meager resources alone will not be able to support the empire for a long period of war. In the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War and the Russo-Japanese War, although the empire achieved final victory  The victory came at a heavy economic cost to the empire."

    "Now the empire is about to go to war with the United States and Britain. If Manchuria is unstable and loses Manchuria's grain, coal, iron and other raw materials, the empire will pay a greater price. Therefore, Manchuria, at least Southern Manchuria, which concentrates the essence of Manchuria, must be controlled  In the hands of the empire. The increasingly aggressive anti-Japanese forces in Northern Manchuria must be effectively curbed."

    "So I think it is not important when the Kwantung Army will switch to a full-scale counterattack. Under the condition of ensuring the industrial base in South Manchuria, the gains and losses of Xinjing are not too important. The most important thing is that this anti-Manchurian anti-Japanese force  The armed actions in Western Manchuria must be curbed, so I think the base camp went in the wrong direction by forcing the Kwantung Army to take action.¡±

    "However, General Umezu and Chief of Staff Yoshimoto, I think the heavy rain on the central front currently prevents the air strike plan from being carried out. But I think the weather in Western Manchuria is still very sunny. I think the Kwantung Army can definitely move in advance in Western Manchuria. As for the central line, I  I said it doesn¡¯t matter here.¡±

    "Although Xinjing is a new city established by the Japanese Empire, it is also the capital of the Manchu Empire. But to put it bluntly, it is just a city in Manchuria, just a dot on the map. Although the political status here is very high, the surrounding areas  They are also areas rich in food, but judging from the current war situation, his position is far inferior to Ximan. "

    "Now for the Kwantung Army, the most urgent thing is to figure out what is the real purpose of the enemy taking the risk of completely offending their backers by taking advantage of Outer Mongolia to forcibly detour westward. Their next operational goal is  Where. Is it the Pingjin area in Hebei? Or the Chahar area?¡±

    "Now that their bodies have gradually hardened, how ambitious are they? After being supplemented by the essence of the two so-called base areas in the hinterland of North China, how much will their combat capabilities improve? Once their true intentions are directed at North China, what will they do to North China?  How much danger does the area pose?¡±

    "The enemy's actions in Western Manchuria must be contained, and this containment method must be used at all costs when necessary. The base camp can tolerate the Kwantung Army temporarily maintaining last year's front line before the end of the southward campaign. But the enemy must not be tolerated.  Through this battle, the army has established direct contact with the hinterland of China."

    "This time the weather changes in the entire theater north of Xinjing will affect not only the Kwantung Army. Will the enemy troops not be affected? Once our army turns to a full-line counterattack in Western Manchuria, the enemy troops on the center line will be affected by heavy rain.  Impact, it is difficult to reach the Western Manchu battlefield in a short time.¡±

    "So I think the battle on the northern front can be carried out according to the requirements of the two of you, waiting for the weather to improve. But the counterattack on the western front must be fully launched within three days in accordance with the requirements of the base camp. His Majesty the Emperor and the base camp,  It is unacceptable that the whole army of the 23rd Division was destroyed under the eyes of the commander of the Kwantung Army. "

    "The 23rd Division only suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Nomonhan. General Kenkichi Ueda and Chief of Staff Rensuke Isoya were removed from active service. Now if the 23rd Division is under their noses, it will be incompetent with its combat effectiveness.  The whole army was wiped out in the anti-Japanese armed battle in China, which was far from comparable to the Soviet army. You two should consider what the consequences will be."

    "General Umezu, Lieutenant General Yoshimoto, I can tell you clearly that this is the final opinion of the Operations Department of the General Staff Headquarters. It is also the final request for the Kwantung Army reported by the General Staff Headquarters to His Majesty the Emperor. Of course, if you two are willing, you can  Understand this as a warning.¡±

    Regarding Tanaka Shinichi's judgment, Yoshimoto Teichi replied: "As for the possibility Tanaka-kun mentioned, we have already made a judgment when the enemy troops appeared in Linxi territory. But after considering the overall situation of North China  After the situation, we believe that the possibility of enemy troops appearing in Western Manchuria is not impossible, but it is not very likely, at least from this year's perspective."

    "Whenever the enemy launches an attack, its ammunition, gasoline, and food will rely heavily on its so-called base area in northern Manchuria. It is fighting in Linxi, Western Manchuria, and its supply lines have been extended to the extreme. Western Manchuria is vast and sparsely populated, as long as we  If the army holds the front lines of Xingjing and Tongliao, its supply capacity will be fundamentally limited. "

    "The innate position of Western Manchuria in Manchuria determines that even if they want to use manpower supply, they will not be able to recruit enough civilians. Once the enemy troops continue to move south from Western Manchuria, their supply lines will restrict their combat capabilities. Tanaka  Jun, you should know that poor HuaIt is impossible for the Communist Army to provide any supplies other than food to the Anti-Japanese Alliance.  "

    "The so-called automatic rifle you were playing with just now has now become the standard light weapon equipment of the Anti-Alliance Forces. Although this weapon uses three bursts of fire, it cannot be regarded as a real automatic weapon. But its rate of fire  Not only is it far from comparable to the Type 38 and Type 99 rifles equipped by the Empire, at least there is no rifle known in the world that can compare.¡±

    "As a senior army general, Major General Tanaka should be aware of the universality of a standard light weapons equipment. He should be more aware of the so-called standard automatic rifles they call, if equipped to a unit, then the unit does not count other weapons, only infantry weapons  The daily consumption is an astronomical figure.¡±

    "Automatic firearms have a high rate of fire, but the consumption of ammunition is incomparable to manual rifles. Judging from the equipment currently invested by the Anti-Japanese League in various front-line troops, except for the so-called advancing army currently deployed in Rehe, the rest of the  All the troops¡¯ light weapons have been replaced with so-called automatic rifles.¡±
