    To say that Umezu Yoshijiro is really interested in the junior of Okamura Ningji, after receiving the telegram from the base camp, he immediately ordered the eighth, ninth, tenth, and eleventh divisions stationed in Fengtian and Jilin  Assemble quickly.

    Why is Umezu Yoshijiro so interesting?  Because these four divisions are all Type-A divisions of the Japanese army, and they are all standing divisions established by Zhenger Bajing during the Meiji period. Each division has four infantry regiments under its jurisdiction, as well as engineering, cavalry  One regiment each for artillery, artillery, and luggage, plus division headquarters and non-combatant personnel, the total strength reached about 28,000.

    Not only is the force huge, but the weapons and equipment of these divisions are also top-notch in the Japanese army. Not only are the number of light and heavy machine guns and grenade grenades much more than those of the B-type divisions, each infantry regiment is also equipped with 4-  6 90mm mortars.  In addition, the artillery wing of the division also has one more brigade than the troops in the pass. In addition to 24 75mm caliber mountain guns/field guns, they are also equipped with 12 105mm howitzers and 12 guns, which are very rare on the Chinese battlefield.  150mm howitzer.

    In addition to the size and equipment, the soldiers of these four divisions are all veterans who have fought for more than five years and have extremely rich combat experience.  Therefore, based on the above points, these four divisions are the absolute main force even in the powerful Kwantung Army.

    In addition, in order to ensure that these four divisions can enter the customs as soon as possible, in addition to mobilizing all the trucks in Fengtian Province to help the troops quickly assemble, Umezu Yoshijiro also ordered the Manchuria Affairs Bureau to suspend the transportation of the South Manchuria Railway and transfer all the wagons  To transport troops to the pass.

    Under such full operation, in the evening of the same day, the two infantry brigades of the Eighth Division and all their equipment boarded the ranks bound for Guannei.

    Umezu Yoshijiro immediately called Okamura Ningji and said with a smile, "Okamura-kun, the first batch of four divisions has already started to go south, and they can all enter the customs within seven days."

    Gangcun Ningci was overjoyed, and immediately thanked: "Your Excellency Meijin, I didn't expect you to move so quickly. Thank you so much."

    Umezu Yoshijiro said: "Don't be in a hurry to thank me, there is something I have to tell you first. These four divisions are all the reserve forces of my Kwantung Army in Fengtian and Jilin, so they can be mobilized so quickly.  I have to transfer the remaining four divisions from the troops stationed on the Soviet-Manchurian border. Because the troops are scattered and have to hide from the Soviet army, it will take a long time to mobilize, and I estimate it will take at least a month!"

    Ningci Gangmura quickly said: "It doesn't matter, these four A-type divisions plus the remaining troops of the First Army, it should not be a big problem to stick to Shanxi for more than a month. Your Excellency Meijin, this time our North China Dispatch Army  I owe you a big favor from the Kwantung Army. The Soviet Union has placed more than 1 million troops in the Far East. You are barely coping with the weak troops. Now that you have transferred eight divisions at once, your pressure will definitely increase dramatically.  Times!"

    Umezu Yoshijiro said: "Everything is for the empire, as long as we can completely wipe out those annoying Eighth Route Army, it doesn't matter if we are under more pressure!"

    Gangcun Ningci's complexion changed when he heard the words, and then he lowered his voice and said: "Senior, to tell you the truth, I am actually not sure that I can completely wipe out those Eighth Route Army. I am not even confident that I can regain our previous occupied areas in Shanxi!"

    Umezu Yoshijiro was shocked when he heard this: "How can this be? According to your plan for the base camp, if all the troops are mobilized smoothly, then you will have at least thirteen divisions in your hands, while the Eighth Route Army has only a dozen divisions in Shanxi.  You still don't have the confidence to defeat them and conquer the lost ground when the troops are superior?"

    Yoshijiro Umezu knows Okamura Neiji very well. That guy's military talent and command ability are at the top level among many Japanese generals. He is not only bold and careful, but also has a firm will.  When he was promoted to the commander-in-chief of the 11th Army, under the pressure of other veterans, he boldly launched an attack on the Wuhan area with only three divisions and one brigade in his hands, and successfully cut and encircled the 27th Army of the Sixth Theater.  Although the 106th Division lost its way and fell into the siege of the Chinese army during the subsequent battle, it suffered heavy casualties, which led to the bankruptcy of the large detour strategy formulated before the war.  However, Ningji Gangmura immediately changed the battle plan, allowing the three divisions that had just been reinforced to go up the river, break through the Tianjia Town fortress and several lines of defense in a very short period of time, and seize the enemy before the Chinese army returned to help.  to Wuchang.

    In the ensuing Battle of Nanchang, facing Luo Zhuoying's 10 armies with 200,000 troops and three broad rivers lying across the marching road, Okamura Ningji once again showed his amazing military talent, unexpectedly with just eaten  The defeated 101st and 106th divisions were the main force, and they concentrated more than 250 heavy artillery and more than 130 tanks to carry out separate breakthroughs at the weak points of the Chinese defense line.As a result, Nanchang was occupied in seven days.  Don't say anything else.  It is this unique strategic vision and this determination that ordinary people cannot match.  Okamura Ningji is eligible to enter the list of famous Japanese generals.

    After being promoted to the commander of the North China Dispatch Army, he faced the bases and guerrilla areas of the Eighth Route Army all over the North China Plain.  Neiji Okamura did not immediately attack.  Instead, settle down to collect intelligence and study opponents.  Half a year later, Gangcun Ningci finally made his move. The "Three Lights Policy", "Cage Tactics", and "Cannibalization Strategy" formulated by him, coupled with endless heavy raids, caused the Eighth Route Army to lose half of its troops in just over a year.  Base and population, and lost all rich areas.

    It is no exaggeration to say that Okamura Ningji is the most difficult Japanese general to deal with, no matter whether it is for the National Army or the Eighth Route Army!

    But now.  This military genius who has made many Chinese generals fear like a tiger has so little confidence in defeating the Eighth Route Army troops which are at an absolute disadvantage in terms of strength, it is really shocking.

    Umezu Yoshijiro immediately asked: "Mr. Gangmura, are the Eighth Route Army really so strong that we can't defeat them even though we have superior forces?"

    Neiji Okamura said: "Your Excellency Meijin, you misunderstood. Although the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army has indeed been greatly improved, they are still very backward in terms of tactics and strategy. If it is a large-scale field battle, they are not the Imperial Japanese Army."  But the problem is that there are many mountains in Shanxi, and the new weapons equipped by the Eighth Route Army are very powerful, and they also have a large number of artillery and aircraft. If they want to hold on to the mountains in dangerous areas, I am afraid that even if there are more cases in our army  It will be very difficult to regain lost ground.¡±

    Umezu Yoshijiro nodded when he heard the words: "That's right, the terrain and the small amount of artillery we used to attack Shanxi caused a lot of trouble for our army. Now the Eighth Route Army has a large number of automatic firearms. A large number of artillery, and even the air force  Troops. It will definitely be more difficult to fight." Speaking of this, Umezu Yoshijiro suddenly remembered something, and his voice immediately lowered a bit: "Kamura-kun, the weapons you gave me last time, the Kwantung Army Field Weapon Factory (formerly  The Fengtian Armory opened by Zhang Zuolin) has imitated and produced some" Umezu Yoshijiro is exactly the AKM, SKS rifles, RPK light machine guns and RPG rocket launchers that Okamura Ningji handed over to him last time  .

    Okamura Neiji was ecstatic when he heard this, and quickly said: "Really? Then please, Your Excellency Meizu, let me drop some!"  Gangcun Ningci always thought that the Eighth Route Army was equipped with these weapons, but having said that, the light weapons of our army in the 1950s and 1960s were really similar to these Soviet-made weapons in terms of appearance and performance.) Then the Japanese army can also have the same  With the close combat firepower, there is no need to be buried alive by bullets from the Eighth Route Army.

    Umezu Yoshijiro said: "Listen to me first, those weapons are made of very advanced materials. The barrels of rifles and machine guns are made of a high-density alloy that even technical experts have never seen before.  With our current level of steelmaking, it is impossible to forge at all. Although military personnel have replaced it with high-quality steel, the life of the barrels produced is very short, with an average of only about 3,000 rounds. The performance of the guns has also been affected.  , the effective range of the two rifles has dropped to 100 meters and 200 meters respectively. The machine gun is about 500 meters, and the shooting accuracy has also dropped a lot. In addition, although we have successfully imitated the launcher of the rocket launcher as it is,  But the kind of anti-personnel bomb he used was not successfully imitated by military personnel because of technical problems. The armor-piercing bomb was imitated, but its performance was also greatly reduced due to the same reason. It can only hit at 200 meters  Wear a homogeneous steel plate of about 70mm."

    Gangcun Ningci was suddenly surprised. He didn't expect the weapons used by the Eighth Route Army.  There is such a high technical content, even with the industrial level of the Great Japanese Empire, there is no way to completely imitate it, but he still said with satisfaction: "Although this is the case, it is enough to greatly improve the melee firepower of the troops. Your Excellency Meizu  I don¡¯t know how many of these weapons have been produced? Can you hand over all these weapons to our North China Front Army for the sake of the imminent war.¡±

    Umezu Yoshijiro said boldly: "That's no problem. In the past three to four months, the Kwantung Army Field Weapons Factory has produced two thousand copies of the two rifles each."  There are 300 machine guns and 300,000 rounds of ammunition.  That kind of rocket launcher is easy to build, and a total of 800 were produced, but the number of shells is a little less, only 2,000 rounds.  In the future, I will have someone load it on the train and send it to you with the troops entering the customs.  "

    Hearing that the number was so small, Ning Ci was a little disappointed at first, but soon there was a smile on his face. He understood that the battle was imminent, and it would be nice to have automatic firearms. What more bicycles do we need?  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com)Website website: www.hlnovel.com
