¡°But the Eighth Route Army has always been known for its perseverance. Their soldiers¡¯ fighting willpower is as strong as steel.
This may be a large-scale conflict that lasts for a long time.
Although the two sides are likely to end this fight through negotiations in the end.
However, when that time came, the strength of the four armies was reintegrated by the Kuomintang, and their combat effectiveness did not drop much compared to now.
There is another reason, which is also the most important reason.
"And our general staff headquarters puts a lot of energy on the Pacific battlefield.
Since the second half of last year, they have begun to frequently draw elite troops from our Kwantung Army to join the Pacific War.
During this process, four of our five most elite divisions have already left.
As far as I know, so far, the war on the Pacific battlefield has no end or any sign of shrinking. On the contrary, the war has become larger and larger, and the battle lines have been stretched longer.
Therefore, it is foreseeable that in the future, the General Staff Headquarters will definitely mobilize elite troops from our Kwantung Army to fight in the Pacific battlefield.
The most elite soldiers and commanders among our Kwantung Army will be transferred out one after another.
Therefore, the longer this matter is delayed, the more disadvantageous it will be for us.
We must seize the time to open a breakthrough on the Chinese battlefield.
¡°In this way, the General Staff Headquarters can return their attention to us. "
??Xiangzu Meijiro calmly analyzed.
Yes, they can't delay it any longer.
For the Japanese Kwantung Army and other Chinese dispatched troops, this time is not the last chance, but it is definitely the best opportunity they can see so far.
Hearing Meijiro Xiangzu¡¯s analysis, the staff officers also realized that the attitude of the higher-ups would also have a great impact on their battle this time.
As for what Yoshijiro Kozu said, about the elite Kwantung Army being constantly transferred.
This does indeed exist, and it is also troubling the leadership of the Kwantung Army.
Since the beginning of the Pacific War, more than 200,000 Kwantung Army troops, originally numbering one million, have been gradually transferred away.
The most important thing is that these transferred troops are the backbone of the Kwantung Army.
Among them are their four most elite divisions.
In addition, many other independent mixed brigades, as well as various aviation units and artillery units, have also been transferred away.
¡°Coupled with the subsequent North China Campaign, the Kwantung Army¡¯s troops that supported North China also suffered total losses, including their organization.
At this time, the Kwantung Army still had millions of people.
But among them, 500,000 to 600,000 people were temporarily recruited soldiers.
¡°Among them are Japanese expatriates living in the Northeast, Chinese who have been forcibly recruited into the army, or children in some schools.
Although these soldiers have undergone intensive training for several months.
But no matter the combat level, the willpower to fight, or the personal physical fitness, they are all incomparable with the outstanding soldiers they recruited through the conscription regulations.
The result of this is that the combat effectiveness of these soldiers is simply incomparable to that of the Fourth Army.
Because at this time, the Japanese army had clearly realized the strength of the Fourth Army.
This understanding finally became the consensus within the Japanese army after the disastrous defeat of the Japanese army in the North China Campaign.
They previously thought that although Xia Yang's troops had regained the Shanxi area, their troops would not lose to Xia Yang's Fourth Army if they were really fighting head-on.
The victory of the Fourth Army in Shanxi was more of a tactical victory and the full use of terrain advantages.
But later, during the Battle of North China, on this vast plain.
The Fourth Army told the Japanese army the fact that even their Type A divisions were still unable to compete with the same number of Fourth Army in the front.
This can be confirmed by the exchange ratio achieved by the Japanese A-level divisions during their battles with the Fourth Army.
Because of these considerations, the Kwantung Army actually occupies a certain advantage in terms of numbers.
However, the battle involvedThere are not many combatants who can actually fight bloody battles with the enemy on the battlefield.
Even less than the number of the Fourth Army.
??Xiangzu Yoshijiro often wonders if their more than 200,000 elite troops had not been transferred away.
¡°Then he really has the courage to directly launch a large-scale attack on North China.
Because these 200,000 elite Japanese troops are the main fighting force of their Kwantung Army.
Giving him these 200,000 elite troops was equivalent to giving Xiangzu Yoshijiro an extremely sharp long knife, which could easily split the defense line of the Fourth Army in half and chop it into pieces.
Of course, this is just a fantasy.
The overall strength of the Kwantung Army, the "Flower of the Imperial Army" in the past, has been greatly reduced at this time.
If we really want to compare, the combined combat effectiveness of the Japanese army in South China, Shandong and other regions may be more powerful than the Kwantung Army at this time.
Now, the Kwantung Army has repositioned itself.
For the Fourth Army, they are a challenger, a challenger whose strength is not as good as the Fourth Army.
¡°However, Japanese people always have a gambler¡¯s mentality.
They always like to take desperate risks and make all-or-nothing bets, making a lot of money through gambling, or losing everything.
For example, the September 18th Incident was launched.
For the Japanese army at that time, this was a huge gamble.
They only dispatched tens of thousands of troops at that time, while the Northeast Army led by Marshal Zhang had hundreds of thousands of troops.
Even if a lot of troops were mobilized and entered the pass, there were still many more Northeastern troops outside the pass than the Japanese army.
But even so, the Japanese army easily captured the entire three eastern provinces.
¡°This did not surprise the Japanese army at all. They did not expect that the Chinese army was ordered not to resist and directly retreated to the pass on a large scale.
There are only a few troops who really stay outside the customs, and they have been resisting the Japanese rule.
With the acquisition of the three eastern provinces, the Japanese army gained a large amount of natural resources, population resources, and land resources.
These things have allowed their industry to further develop.
It also gave the Japanese army the confidence to launch a full-scale war against China.
The second time they launched a war, they were actually no longer taking a big gamble.
Because they internally believe that the outcome of this war is likely to be one-sided.
They will crush the national army's defense line with overwhelming force. They will force the then National Government to surrender in a very short period of time and become the puppet government of their controllers.
