- Having said this, Kimura Hy身taro bowed and said: "Your Majesty Commander, I think we should accept the opinion of the base camp now. Make every effort to train the troops, strengthen the blockade of their base areas, and reduce their continuous combat potential. Wait and see what happens. Sit back and wait. changes in the international situation. At the same time, we will strengthen the penetration of its so-called base areas at all costs and collect the intelligence we urgently need.§
"Judging from this telegram from the base camp, it will only take a few months for the Germans to attack the Soviet Union. With the German army's current military victory, sophisticated tactics and equipment, even the powerful Britain and France can easily be defeated Defeat. And the Soviet army with outdated equipment may be difficult to resist. As long as the Soviet Union is defeated, it will mean that the Anti-Japanese Alliance is under fire. "
"Without the support, they also lost all sources of materials to maintain the war. Even if they have an arsenal, military equipment cannot be solved by a simple arsenal. Without the support of upstream industries and the copper for ammunition production, Without the steel to make guns and shells, without the smokeless gunpowder to produce propellant, and without the support of oil, what can they use to maintain their determination to fight? "
"Manchuria is the most industrially developed region in China, but almost all of the industrial base is concentrated in southern Manchuria. Except for the mining and logging industries, northern Manchuria has almost no modern industries. Your Excellency, Commander, an army can It can be established in a short time, but the modern industry that maintains an army cannot be established in a short time.§
"Your Excellency, Commander, for an army without the support of modern military industry, once all foreign aid channels are cut off, their combat effectiveness will be extremely obvious, and they can even barely maintain the war situation. This point, in China Pass, It has been proven on the battlefield.§
"In the Guanci Civil War, after the empire cut off all external communications of the so-called Nationalist Government in Chongqing, the combat effectiveness of the China Army showed a clear downward trend. Even its so-called most elite Central Army, the amount of ammunition consumed by each soldier every day has been It has dropped to thirty rounds. The number of rifles and light and heavy machine guns equipped by each division is less than half of what it was before the war. The reason why the Chinese army in Chongqing is still resisting is that it occupies the vast territory of China."
"As for the Anti-Japanese Alliance, they do not have the same confidence as the Chongqing government. Although the Chongqing government's own military production cannot meet the needs of the army, its limited military output can still maintain the most basic consumption of its army. Artillery shells are used The production of steel and propellant is still barely enough.§
"As for them, we have not found any signs of the construction of upstream military industries such as steel, non-ferrous metal smelting, chemicals, etc. This proves that they rely on imports for all military raw materials. Once in the Soviet Union, it would be difficult to protect itself. Under this circumstance, we will never continue to provide it with raw materials needed for military industry.§
"At that time, if there is no source of military raw materials, their ammunition supply will not be sourced. And what modern warfare is about is steel. Without sufficient ammunition supply, can their combat effectiveness be maintained so strong? I I＊m afraid there＊s no such chance.§
"There is another reason why I suggest you obey the orders of the base camp. Commander, although North Manchuria has a vast territory, its population is extremely sparse compared to South Manchuria. The population of Manchuria is mainly concentrated in South Manchuria. Based on the population of North Manchuria, It cannot support them to build a huge army."
"Contrary to the fact that we can get a steady stream of new recruits from the country and even North Korea. Because of the limitation of population, especially the number of men of suitable age, their recruitment of soldiers is extremely difficult. They cannot withstand the huge force of the Chinese Army in Guannei on the battlefield. The cost of casualties.§
"Furthermore, the terrain in Northern Manchuria is complex, and it is the latest area to be developed in Manchuria. It is not a traditional agricultural area in Manchuria. The production of grain in Northern Manchuria does not occupy a major position in Manchuria. And the grain production in Northern Manchuria is limited. It is difficult to maintain the consumption of an army for a long time.§
"As long as they lose the material support from Soviet Russia, they will not have a modern industrial base to support their military industry. There will not be a huge population and sufficient food production to support our consumption. By then, I think even salt will be needed What are they going to do with us? Even if we slowly consume them, we can still kill them."
"So I believe that the most important thing we should do now is to switch from offensive to defensive. Change the deployment posture of the forward divisions from offensive to both offensive and defensive. In order to prevent them from going south and attacking Jilin and other grain-producing areas. At the same time, they will The so-called base areas are strictly sealed off and absolutely cannot allow a grain of salt, a pound of cotton, a foot of cloth, a pound of grain, or a drop of kerosene to enter the so-called base areas.§
"There is also the forcible relocation of all Manchus within thirty kilometers south of all fronts to the south. This is to imitate someone who daresBao Tian violated the orders of the Kwantung Army and smuggled much-needed supplies to its so-called base area. Second, it also destroys its sources of supplementary troops. It would be better for there to be no grass around the front than to allow it to be supplemented by one soldier or another. "
"At the same time, before the situation becomes clear, properly concentrate a group of troops on the front line to conduct some small-scale operations with them. The first is to consume their material reserves. The most critical thing is to use as much strength as possible when it is difficult to replenish their troops. weaken its vitality.§
"Your Excellency, Commander, I want to fight this small-scale battle without the involvement of our imperial army. It is perfectly fine to let the Manchurians and the recruited Koreans take the lead, and it is perfectly fine for the imperial army to supervise the battle from behind. Every soldier of the empire will It is precious and should not be lost in this small-scale armed conflict."
"Since Manchuria was created by the empire, it is appropriate to make some contributions to the imperial holy war. And since the Koreans are part of the empire and enjoy the honor brought to them by the empire's power, they should naturally contribute to the empire and serve the emperor. Be loyal."
"Using the recruited Koreans and Manchus to fight on the front line instead of the imperial army can not only consume their effective strength, but also avoid the casualties of the imperial army. This will prevent the imperial army from being involved in these small but extremely frequent small battles. And it can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.§
"Judging from the battle last year, these Manchuria have been carefully reorganized and trained by Sasaki-kun, but except for a few troops, most of the troops are not very loyal to the imperial army. I think we can take advantage of this opportunity. Eliminating some unstable elements and completely replacing the Manchus in Manchuria with Koreans may not be a bad thing for the imperial army. "
"As for those Koreans, no matter how many casualties there are, they will not harm the bones of the imperial army. As long as we can weaken the opponent's strength and ensure the vitality of the Kwantung Army, we will wipe out all the Korean men in the entire Manchukuo and all the men on the Korean Peninsula. No matter what, I won＊t hesitate.§
"In addition, we should concentrate the main force of the aviation force to carry out large-scale bombing of Harbin, Qiqihar, Jiamusi and other large cities in its control area, including various counties, to completely destroy its war potential. As for other aspects, I think we should still use It is better to wait for the international situation to change.§
"As long as they lose the support of the Soviet Union, they have no weapons, ammunition and all necessary supply channels for war. After trapping them half to death, we can safely and boldly fight them decisively and eliminate them north of the Songhua River in one fell swoop. We can even Move northward in one fell swoop to eliminate the so-called heavy military group of Soviet Russia＊s Far East Military District.§
"But now, Your Excellency Commander, I think that since we have a way to get twice the result with half the effort, we should not rush for success. It is better to follow the orders of the base camp and wait for the changes in the international situation. The Kwantung Army is the total reserve force of the empire. If it is lost Too much will affect the empire＊s next strategic deployment.§
"Your Excellency, Commander, the Kwantung Army can no longer withstand last year's disastrous defeat. If last year's setback occurs again, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to explain it in front of the Emperor. Instead of paying a heavy price, fight head-on with him. , it is better to wait for its strength to be weakened to a certain extent before we take action. Commander, you are familiar with the art of war, and you should understand that in many cases, drawing fuel from the bottom of the cauldron is more deadly than a duel on the battlefield."
Kimura Hy身taro＊s words made Umezu Yoshijiro fall into deep thought for a long time. After a long time, he raised his head and looked at him and said: "I understand what Kimura-kun means. Now that Kimura-kun has said it, I think the next step is to implement it according to Kimura-kun's plan."
"The recruitment of soldiers from Korea will start with the Koreans in Manchuria. These Koreans will not be incorporated into the imperial army for the time being, and will all be transferred to Manchuria to replace the extremely unreliable Manchus. As for the Koreans in Korea, I I will study this matter with the North Korean Governor.§
Hearing that Umezu Meijiro finally agreed to his suggestion, Kimura Hy身taro, who had always been worried that Commander Umezu in front of him was stubborn and refused to carry out orders from the base camp, finally felt relieved. While breathing a slight sigh of relief, the lieutenant general and chief of staff couldn't help secretly saying that he was lucky that he finally didn't have to face the dilemma between Prime Minister Lu and the general commander of the Kwantung Army. "
As the chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, Hyoutaro Kimura, who suffered both losses and glory with the commander, should naturally be responsible for the commander of the Kwantung Army. But as an officer who was single-handedly promoted by Prime Minister Lu, Kimura Hyotar身 believed that he should be more loyal to Prime Minister Lu.
Without the special promotion of the person who now holds the high post of Prime Minister, Kimura Hyoutarou, who was born as an artillery officer, would never have been able to go directly from a division commander to the chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, a position with unlimited future and financial prospects. superior. If the commander of the Kwantung Army and the Prime Minister of the Mainland disagree on some opinions, they willKimura Hy身taro in the middle is in a dilemma.
Especially since the commander, who once served as Army Under-Secretary, has never been very fond of the Prime Minister. Fortunately, this time the stubborn commander finally went ahead with his persuasion and agreed to carry out the orders from the base camp, which were actually the orders of the Prime Minister. This made Hy身taro Kimura breathe a sigh of relief when Umezu Meijiro was deep in thought, his nervous back was soaked with sweat - Didn't finish reading?
