At the same time, in Xiaogan.
Dongjiuer Palace Nianyan is convening a staff meeting.
The staff meeting is different from the cabinet meeting. You need to have a certain level to participate in the cabinet meeting. However, there are no restrictions on military rank and rank. As long as you think you are capable, you can attend!
Therefore, there were many officers attending the meeting, more than a hundred of them!
There was only one topic at the meeting, which was the specific strategy for marching into Wuhan. Should we concentrate our forces to attack Hankou first, or divide our forces into two groups to attack Hankou and Hanyang at the same time?
Or, separate a division to attack Wuchang?
Hundreds of officers from the headquarters gathered together, and the large tent of Higashikata Palace could not fit in it at all, so most of the officers could only stand in the field outside the tent!
"Everyone is almost here, let's get started." Higashikata Niguhiko stood up and said, "I believe you all already know about the situation of the Third Division! Yes, just last night, just a In the evening, the Third Division was completely wiped out by the China Army, and no one from the division commander Susumu Fujita on down was spared!"
After a pause, Higashikata Niguhiko continued: "Fujita Susumu was even captured alive by the Chinese army and betrayed the empire! This is simply an unprecedented shame for the imperial army since the establishment of the town! For this reason, I have called the base camp and requested the base camp Together with the Army Headquarters, we will permanently revoke the designation of the Third Division! As a punishment!"
The more than a hundred Japanese officers present at the meeting immediately started whispering.
They thought that the Third Division would be severely punished, such as being downgraded from a four-unit permanent division to a three-unit guard division. However, they did not expect that Higashikanomiya Nurihiko directly requested that the Third Division be permanently abolished. Number! This kind of punishment is definitely the most severe punishment ever!
"Don't mention punishment in advance!" Dongjiu'er Palace Nianyan waved his hand to suppress the whispers of the officers present at the meeting, and said, "The issue that needs to be discussed today is whether to concentrate our forces to attack Hankou? Or divide our forces into two groups to attack Hankou and Hanyang at the same time. ? Or maybe the troops will be divided into three groups to attack Hankou, Hanyang and Wuchang at the same time?"
After Higashikanomiya Nurihiko finished speaking, Chief of Staff Machijiri Yuki continued: "In addition, I need to explain to everyone that although the Front Army Headquarters has assigned the 15th Division and the 17th Division to the Second Army's order of battle, But these two divisions must stay in the rear and assume the defense tasks of Henan and Anhui provinces."
Dong Jiuyi Gong Nianyan added: "So, the only troops that can actually be put into the battle of Wuhan are the 10th, 13th, 16th, and 116th divisions! A total of four divisions!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Chief of Staff of the 13th Division, Yuki Yoshihara, said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, I think that before making a formal decision, I'm afraid I have to figure out an issue first!"
After a pause, Yoshihara continued: "The question is, how on earth was the 3rd Division annihilated?"
"Sodes!" Keisuke Fujie, the division commander of the 16th Division, echoed, "If we don't figure out how the Chinese Army managed to annihilate the 3rd Division overnight, no matter how concentrated our forces are to attack Hankou, , or divide the troops to attack Hankou, Hanyang and Wuchang, there are great risks!"
Machijiri R¨ki and Higashikanomiya Nurihiko looked at each other, and then said: "This issue has been bothering me and His Highness. Since Yoshihara-kun has mentioned this, everyone might as well share their opinions and speculate. Let¡¯s take a look, how on earth did the Chinese Army annihilate the 3rd Division overnight?¡±
After Machijiri Ryouki finished speaking, silence fell immediately inside and outside the tent.
This question is difficult to answer. Most people present are confused.
Seeing that no one took the initiative to speak, Dong Jiugong Nianyan's brows frowned unconsciously.
At this time, Usami Taka, the deputy captain of the special operations brigade, suddenly said: "Your Highness, I may know the reason!"
"Oh, really?" Higashikanomiya Nurihiko turned his gaze to Usami Taka and said happily, "Usami-kun, please tell me."
"Hai!" Usami Taka paused for a moment and then said, "One thing we can be sure of is that under normal circumstances, no matter how much troops the China Army invests, it is absolutely impossible to wipe out a permanent division of the Imperial Army overnight! It¡¯s impossible to defeat them, let alone completely annihilate them!¡±
"Hai!" Usami Takashi paused again and said, "After confirming this point, we can analyze it from other aspects, that is, the China Army must have used abnormal tactics or weapons! Or, China The army used abnormal tactics and weapons at the same time, which caused the 3rd Division to be caught off guard and the entire army was destroyed!"
We have to admit that this kid Usami Taka still has some abilities. This guess is very close to the truth!
"So, what kind of abnormal tactics or weapons do you think the China Army might have used?"
"This, you can't guess it if you are in a humble position." Usami Taka shook his head and said.
Although Usami Takashi is a Japanese, he pursues the Chinese golden mean. He believes that a person should not take all the limelight, otherwise he may make enemies everywhere!
Regarding what kind of tactics and weapons the Chinese army used, he actually had a guess in his mind. The reason why he didn't say anything was to leave this opportunity for performance to Shigeo Yamamoto, his close partner!
Sure enough, as soon as Usami Taka finished speaking, Yamamoto Shigeo said: "As for what kind of abnormal tactics and weapons the China Army used, I may be able to tell you something!"
"Oh, is that so?" Higashikata Nurihiko said happily, "Yamamoto-kun, please tell me."
"Hai!" Shigeo Yamamoto said after a fierce pause, "In German military theory circles, a brand new tank tactic has recently emerged. This tank tactic pursues the large-scale concentrated use of tank groups to Destroy the enemy a little bit with lightning speed, and then quickly penetrate deep into the enemy!"
After a pause, Yamamoto Shigeo continued: "This tactic is called blitzkrieg by the Germans!"
"Blitzkrieg?" Dong Jiugong Nianyan nodded and said, "It seems to have a bit of lightning flavor."
"Hai!" Yamamoto Shigeo paused again and said, "In the Battle of Hanyang, the tactics used by the China Army were most likely this kind of blitzkrieg that had just appeared. The third division was caught off guard, so it was attacked in a short period of time. Total annihilation!¡±
"Soga!" Higashikata Nimiya said, "Yamamoto-kun, this blitzkrieg you mentioned is really so powerful."
¡°This, it¡¯s hard to say that it¡¯s a humble position.¡± Yamamoto Shigeo said cautiously, ¡°Because it has not been proven in actual combat.¡± (Remember this website¡¯s website address: www.hlnovel.com
