Regarding the Battle of Nomenkan, Zhong Yi has done research in both his previous life and this life.
Before the Battle of Nomenkan began, the Soviet Red Army had just gone through a major purge, and a large number of senior generals and backbone officers with rich combat experience were brutally executed.
What followed was that the Soviet officers at all levels were panic-stricken and did not dare to do anything.
This had a very bad impact on the military construction of the Soviet army, and also seriously weakened the combat effectiveness of the Soviet army. To be honest, the years before the outbreak of the Battle of Nomenkan were the weakest time of the Soviet army.
Looking back at the Japanese army, after two years of training in the Sino-Japanese War, both senior generals and junior officers have made great progress in combat experience, and the aviation force has made the greatest progress.
As for the level of fighting will, the Japanese army at that time could be said to kill the Soviet Red Army instantly.
In terms of logistics, the Japanese army¡¯s logistics supply lines were shorter and more reliable than the Soviet army¡¯s.
Taking into account various factors, the possibility of the Japanese army losing the Battle of Nomenkan can be said to be extremely slim.
However, the Japanese army has one of the most fatal weaknesses, that is, the senior generals of the Japanese army have no research on large-scale combat and do not know how to fight.
And the Soviet army happens to have Zhukov who has a lot of research on large army operations.
So the final result was that the Kwantung Army was defeated by the Soviet army.
Of course, one thing must be mentioned, that is, in the Battle of Nomenkan, although the Soviet army finally won, the losses in personnel and weapons were actually more than the Japanese army!
But if you lose, you lose. The failure of the Battle of Nomenkan even affected the decision-making of the Japanese government!
Now, Kanji Ishihara, the only person in the Japanese army who is studying the strategy of the large corps, has been transferred to the Kwantung Army, while Umezu Yoshijiro, who knows nothing about large corps operations, has been transferred to the Burma battlefield.
Therefore, Zhong Yi is really grateful to the Japanese base camp for this embarrassing operation.
Stilwell said puzzledly: "Zhong, I have heard you talk about large corps operations many times, but I don't understand. What is the difference between large corps operations and ordinary operations?"
Zhong Yi said: "The biggest difference is of course the number of troops participating in the war."
After a pause, Zhong Yi continued: "For the so-called large-scale battle, the total strength of both parties must exceed one million. A battle with less than one million people cannot be considered a large-scale battle."
Wang Geng said: "If this is the case, only the Battle of Songhu, Xuzhou and Wuhan can be fought with large corps."
"Yes, the Battle of Songhu, the Battle of Xuzhou and the Battle of Wuhan can barely be regarded as large-scale battles." Zhong Yi nodded and said, "The world only knows that the Chinese army performed poorly in these three battles, but they don't know that the Japanese army performed poorly in these three battles. The battle performance was also very poor. In fact, in these three battles, the Japanese army had a chance to completely wipe out the Chinese army!"
After a pause, Zhong Yi continued: "It is only because senior Japanese generals such as Matsui Iwane and Higashino Nurihiko knew nothing about large-scale combat that they were unable to achieve their intention of annihilating the national army. To give an example, the Battle of Songhu , the Japanese army invested troops evenly in several directions, with no priority at all. Comparing it to the Battle of Xuzhou, more than a dozen Japanese divisions participating in the battle also entered the battle one after another, and were divided into two clusters, the north and the south. This was exactly the battle of the large corps. taboo.¡±
"When fighting with a large corps, you must concentrate your forces on key points and make the final decision!"
¡°You can¡¯t just sprinkle pepper over the entire combat area, with no priority.¡±
Stilwell nodded and said: "To put it this way, the Japanese army seems to have really made a mistake, because Umezu Yoshijiro divided the 20 divisions of the Burmese Front into three groups, advancing from Ren'anqiang to the north, and from the Shantie Plateau. By detouring around Lashio, the main Japanese army in the middle route only had 12 divisions left."
Wang Geng was puzzled and said: "If this is the case, wouldn't we also have committed a big taboo?"
"That's right." Stilwell said, "Our four armies were also divided into three clusters to attack the Japanese troops in Ren'anqiang, Shanbang Plateau and Central Railway respectively. Didn't we also commit a big taboo?"
"This is different." Zhong Yi waved his hand and said, "Although our troops are dispersed, our weapons are not dispersed. Almost all technical equipment is concentrated on the central battlefield."
Stilwell nodded subconsciously. It seemed true. Although the 10 divisions of the 22nd Army were transferred to the Ren'anqiang front line, the 10 howitzer regiments assigned to the 22nd Army were left in Mandalay by Zhong Yi.
There are also 10 heavy artillery regiments attached to the 27th Army, which were also left in Mandalay.
In addition, there are only four armored regiments in the Myanmar theater, all of which remain in Mandalay.
The 1st Aviation Division, which has reached full strength, has also received clear instructions from Zhong Yi. From today on, it will no longer provide air support to the two armies heading out of Ren'anqiang and Shanbang Plateau.
Zhong Yi added: "I have concentrated almost all technical equipment in the middle, just to form a local advantage in firepower on the middle battlefield. Our army may be in a very embarrassing situation on the Ren'anqiang battlefield on the left and the Shan Gang Plateau battlefield on the right. But the victory or defeat on these two battlefields will not determine the success or failure of the Burma Campaign!"
Speaking of this, Zhong Yi slapped the map again, and then said: "The real key to Myanmar's victory or defeat is the Mandalay battlefield! As long as our army defeats or even annihilates the Japanese army in the middle, the Japanese army on the left and The results achieved by the right wing will become meaningless!"
"And this is the real key to large corps operations!"
"The focus of a large corps operation must be on key points that can affect the battle situation!"
"As a commander, the only thing you have to do is to find this key point in the complicated situation, and concentrate as much strength as possible to launch an attack from this key point!"
After listening to Zhong Yi¡¯s analysis, Wang Geng couldn¡¯t help but applaud enthusiastically.
Stilwell and a dozen combat staff members also applauded.
¡¡
In Yangon, the Japanese army dispatched the Burmese Condemn Force Headquarters.
After Umezu Yoshijiro took office, he immediately moved the headquarters from Pyinmana back to Yangon.
In the war room of the headquarters, Kimura Hy¨taro was talking to Umezu Yoshijiro: "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, based on the recent intelligence provided by the aviation reconnaissance force and the Myanmar National Army, it can basically be concluded that the China Army will use almost all technologies The equipment is all concentrated in Mandalay, and it seems that they are preparing for a decisive battle with the imperial army in the Battle of Mandalay."
"Yo Xi!" Umezu Yoshijiro nodded happily and added, "I was originally worried that Zhong Yi would lead his 500,000 troops into the primitive jungles of northern Myanmar. If that was the case, I would have to pluck them out of the primitive jungles. It is really not easy to come out and eliminate them. Now that the Chinese army is willing to fight the imperial army in Mandalay, it is the best." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
