Ishihara Kanji did not go directly to Manchuria to take office.
Instead, he made a special detour to Peiping to meet with the commander of the North China Front, Okamura Neiji.
"Okamura-kun, congratulations to you." Ishihara Wanji said sincerely, "Under your leadership, the public security in North China has been greatly improved. The Eighth Route Army of the Communist Party is at the end of its rope."
"No, no, no, we can't say that now." Okamura Neji looked very modest.
"Okamura-kun, why do you have to pretend to be humble?" Ishihara smiled and said, "Achievements are achievements, and everyone can see it. Since you became the commander of the North China Front Army, the Eighth Route Army guerrillas in North China have suffered heavy losses, not only Their area of ??activity has shrunk significantly, and their numbers have also shrunk sharply."
After a pause, he asked again: "Approximately how many people are left now?"
Okamura Ningji said: "I don't know the exact number, but it is estimated that there are about 200,000 people."
"Are there only 200,000 people left? That's amazing!" Ishihara smiled and said, "Remember when that idiot Shun Tada left office, there were nearly 500,000 people in the Eighth Route Army active in the five provinces of North China! It had only been less than two years. , it has dropped sharply to about 200,000 people. Okamura-kun, you are really amazing, in comparison, my performance is much worse."
"No, you can't say that." Okamura Neiji said, "Ishihara-kun, the enemy you face is stronger."
"That's true. The China Expeditionary Force led by Zhong Yi not only has a large number of troops, but also has excellent equipment." Ishihara smiled and said.
"By the way, the second Battle of Mandalay has officially begun." Okamura Neiji asked in a deep voice, "I wonder what Mr. Ishihara's prediction is for this battle?"
Ishihara smiled and shook his head and said: "This battle has not officially started yet, and the Burmese condemnation army has already lost."
"Nani?" Neji Okamura's expression changed slightly when he heard this, and asked, "Why did Ishihara-kun say that?"
The chief of staff next to him, Sanji Kido, also frowned and said: "Sir Ishihara, the Second Battle of Mandalay was the first large-scale battle in which the Imperial Army had a military advantage since the outbreak of the Japan-China War. From this point alone, In other words, Myanmar¡¯s victory should be higher, right?¡±
Ishihara smiled and said: "Oshirodo-kun, you only saw that the Second Battle of Mandalay was the first battle in which the imperial army had a superiority in strength since the outbreak of the Japanese-Japanese War, but you did not see that this was also the first battle where the Japanese-Japanese War Since the full-scale war broke out, this is the first large-scale battle in which the imperial army is at a disadvantage in terms of technology and equipment."
"Are the technical equipment of the Myanmar Condemnation Force at a disadvantage?" Sanji Oshiroto frowned, "It seems that there is no evidence to support this, right? From the information currently available, the technical equipment of the two sides is at best equal, and even the Burmese Force The Condemns have a slight advantage, especially in air power."
"Yes, the data on paper is indeed true." Ishihara Wanji nodded and added, "But you must see that the technical equipment of the Myanmar Condemnation Army was divided into three, and allocated to the three attack groups on the left, center and right respectively. However, the technical equipment of the China Army is all concentrated on the central railway battlefield in the middle! And this is not the worst!"
"What's the worst?" Okamura Neiji frowned and asked, "What's the worst?"
"The worst thing is the speed of replenishment of technical equipment!" Ishihara smiled. "From the current situation, the technical equipment obtained by Myanmar's China Army is only the first batch of equipment aided by the U.S. government. In the subsequent several In August, more technical equipment will be continuously delivered to Myanmar, including artillery, armored vehicles, and combat aircraft. The number will increase exponentially, but it will be difficult for the technical equipment of Myanmar¡¯s convict troops to be sent to Myanmar again. There¡¯s more.¡±
Ojoto Sanji's face fell instantly. He could still understand this.
Okamura Neji's face also darkened and he said: "In other words, the Myanmar battlefield has actually become a big competition between the industrial strength of the United States and Japan, is that true?"
"Yes." Ishihara smiled and nodded, "Moreover, Myanmar's condemnation army has a fatal weakness."
Okamura Neji's face became more and more embarrassed, and he said in a deep voice: "Ishihara-kun wants to say that Umezu-kun is very bad at commanding large armies in battle, is that true?"
"Yes." Ishihara smiled and said, "If this idiot Yoshijiro Umezu had even studied the battle of large corps, the original Battle of Nomonkan would not have had that result, and the entire war pattern would have been completely different."
After a pause, Ishihara smiled and added: "In fact, from the moment the base camp decided to appoint Yoshijiro Umezu as the commander-in-chief of the Burmese Condemn Forces, the disastrous defeat of the Second Battle of Mandalay was already doomed."
Okamura Neji and OkaKido Sanji fell into a long silence.
In the end, I don¡¯t even know when Ishihara Wanji said goodbye and left.
Looking at the darkening sky outside the window, Ojoto Sanji asked coldly: "Your Excellency, Commander, do you think Lord Ishihara's judgment is trustworthy?"
"Emotionally I don't want to believe it." Okamura Neiji sighed and added, "But my reason tells me that his judgment is nine times out of ten correct, and Ishihara-kun's vision is still trustworthy! The empire is in trouble !¡±
Ojoto Sanji said: "In this case, we must immediately make a suggestion to the base camp"
"What's the suggestion? Has it been replaced by Umezu-kun?" Neji Okamura asked, "Is it possible that the base camp will adopt it?"
Ojoto Sanji fell silent again. Yes, it is impossible for the base camp to adopt their suggestions. You must know that Umezu Yoshijiro's status is half higher than Okamura Neji.
After a long while, Okamura Neji said in a faint voice: "Oshirodo-kun, we must make preparations early."
"Yes." Ojoto Sanji sighed, "If Ishiharakaku's judgment is correct, and if the Burmese convict army really suffered a disastrous defeat in the Second Battle of Mandalay, then the empire can only continue to increase its With a large investment in the Myanmar battlefield, the inevitable result is to transfer some troops from the North China battlefield."
Okamura Neiji said: "This is an obvious thing."
"But the problem is that our troops are not sufficient." Oshiro Sanji said, "On the surface, the law and order campaign in the five provinces of North China has indeed achieved great results. The strength of the Eighth Route Army has been reduced by more than half. But in fact, a large part of the reason for this is due to the rapid expansion of the Eighth Route Army, which led to a sharp decline in combat effectiveness. Although the number of the Eighth Route Army is now less than half of before, its combat effectiveness is actually stronger!"
Okamura Neji said: "That's why we have to prepare in advance."
After a pause, Okamura Neiji added: "The top priority is to form a group of independent mixed brigades as soon as possible to free several main divisions from the security tasks in various places."
Ojoto Sanji: "Hai!" (Remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com
