    Okamura Neji¡¯s eyes were as bright as fire. He had been in the army for so many years, how could he not see what these people were thinking.

    But he didn't care. The same water and the same rice can breed all kinds of people, especially in the military. There are some reckless and arrogant people, some cautious people, and many law-abiding people. There is no need to do that because  These people's attitudes affect their mood.

    ¡°Shinozuka-kun, please continue!¡±

    Yoshio Shinozuka nodded and said: "The internal factors are our own. In addition to the decline in the quality of the soldiers, the internal factors that affect the combat effectiveness of the frontline imperial army are also the reduction in material supplies."

    "Reduced material supply?" Neji Okamura looked confused, obviously he didn't quite understand!

    "Your Excellency, Commander, due to the empire's continuous wars, the domestic economy has been deteriorating. The most direct manifestation is the reduction of the imperial army's establishment and the reduction of technical arms. When the China Incident first occurred, each division of the empire was under the jurisdiction of two infantry brigades.  regiment, and there are also many cavalry, artillery, engineers, chariot troops, etc. Looking at now, take the Imperial Army in the North Branch/that area as an example, the four-unit field division is basically gone, and the remaining  All three units of the garrison division have been dispatched.¡±

    At this point, Shinozuka Yoshio changed his voice and said again: "As for weapons and equipment, the main forces of the empire still use Meiji 38-type rifles and Taisho 11-year-old (crooked handle) machine guns, but not the 38-type rifles.  Having said that, although the design accuracy is good, the lethality is very limited because the caliber is too small.¡±

    "The Taisho 11-year-old light machine gun has weak firepower, and its battlefield survivability and adaptability are also very poor. It could barely be used in the army three years ago, but now the weapons and equipment of each army are developing rapidly.  In terms of weapons and equipment, the Imperial Army is changing from an advantage to a disadvantage!"

    Okamura Neiji nodded and said: "The economy is the foundation of all superstructures. If the economy is not strong, it will indeed affect the combat effectiveness of the frontline troops!"

    Yoshio Shinozuka said again: "After talking about internal causes, let's talk about external causes! Compared with internal causes, external causes are equally important!"

    "From my humble point of view, there are three main external factors that affect the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Japanese Army. The first is the political compromise between various political parties and factions in the country. Think about the time of the China Incident, the entire China was still in a state of fragmentation, and the Chiang government  Although the country was unified in name, there were many factions inside, from the northeast to the northwest to the southeast and southwest. There were powerful warlords everywhere. The only places the Chiang government could really control were a few provinces and regions in central China."

    Then Shinozuka Yoshio continued: "In addition, there is still a dispute between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party in the country. The two parties fought from Showa 3 to Showa 11, and they were killed in rivers of blood. And this kind of disunity directly led to the Great War  The Japanese Imperial Army easily occupied a large amount of territory in the early stages of the war."

    "However, as the major warlords of China/Navy unanimously opened their arms to the outside world, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party once again joined hands to fight against Japan. The united Chinese people burst out with unimaginable fighting power. They just blocked the Emperor of Japan in an extremely bad situation.  army's offensive and won support from external forces."

    Okamura Neji nodded and said: "Please continue!"

    "The second external factor is the intervention of international forces. Shortly after the China Incident broke out, the Red Soviet Union in the north intervened in this war. Not only did they provide loans to China to purchase armaments, but they also directly sent pilots and combat aircraft to participate in the battle. This is  This has been confirmed by our captured Soviet pilots."

    Then Yoshio Shinozuka continued: "In addition to the Red Soviet Union, the United States and Britain were also secretly supporting the Chiang regime. For example, the opening of the Burma Highway and their multiple loans to the Chiang government are the best examples. And these external forces  The aid not only supported the Chiang regime in material terms, but also gave Chongqing a great spiritual boost, giving them the confidence to continue fighting."

    "The last point is that the self-evolution ability of the support/that people exceeds our imagination. No one can imagine that a weak country that has been poor and weak for hundreds of years can adapt to this war in just a few years, even if it is  There were countless casualties, but they were still very heroic. From being passively beaten at the beginning to being able to carry out local counterattacks, it is obvious that the progress of the support team has exceeded our expectations. "

    At this time, Yoshio Shinozuka finally concluded: "Although I am very reluctant to admit it, these things are facts. Even if we are no longer willing to admit them, they still exist objectively. The Imperial Japanese Army is retreating in stride, and we  However, the enemy is constantly making progress, and the strength of the enemy in some areas has exceeded that of the imperial army. Therefore, the failure of the front army is not a simple command issue, but a combination of internal and external factors."

    What ?? said was well-founded and well-analyzed, and was quickly recognized by most people present.

    Even Okamura Neji, who has always been proud, couldn't help but nodded, and then said: "What Shinozuka-kun said makes sense, is it just that the imperial army failed and there was no mistake in combat command?"

    Yoshio Shinozuka said immediately: "Of course not. Command errors also exist objectively, but they are not the main reason for the failure."

    "Keep talking!" Okamura Neji said.

    "Hai!"

    "Your Excellency, Commander, regarding the issue of combat command, we also discussed it when His Excellency Shun Tada was in office. Maybe the imperial army was a little careless at first, but as so many troops were eliminated by the organic system, and so many  The generals were captured and killed. In the process of fighting against the Zhi/Na army, especially when facing Zhi/Na Li Guoyao's troops, how could the imperial army dare to neglect them?"

    Then Shinozuka Yoshio said again: "So after Showa 15, the Imperial Japanese Army was very cautious in its actions, but still could not reverse the decline. Obviously this has little to do with combat command!"

    Okamura Neiji nodded and said: "What Shinozuka-kun said is indeed worthy of our attention, but in the past few days I have also investigated various aspects of the front army and made a summary. I will discuss it with you today!  "

    Without waiting for others to speak, Okamura Neiji said directly: "According to what I learned, one of the important reasons why the Northern Branch/That Front Army has been defeated repeatedly is that there are problems with the deployment of the Front Army's troops, mainly due to the stretching of the battle line.  It is too long, but the troop strength is very limited. This results in a very loose deployment of front troops. Often there are only one or two hundred garrison troops in a county, and only one or two thousand troops in larger cities. On average, there may be only three in each town.  Five people."

    "Secondly, the garrison has been stationed for a long time, lacking precise and regular goals, and often becomes a static defense. Under this situation, it gives the troops a good opportunity to develop silently, and it also makes our enemies stronger and stronger.  But the Imperial Army itself is getting weaker and weaker.¡±

    "In addition, the military discipline of the Imperial Army is so poor that it has left a cruel, tyrannical, murderous and other bad influence on the civilian population. This has greatly hindered the front army's operations in the security area. For the Imperial Japanese Army in the security area  I am extremely dissatisfied with their performance. The existence of those scum will only discredit the Imperial Japanese Army and make the Zhi/Na people hate us even more and be more willing to help Zhi/Na Tubal Road against us."

    Before Okamura Neiji finished speaking, the commander of the 32nd Division, Kimura Hy¨­taro, stood up and said loudly: "Your Excellency, Commander, those people are extremely cunning. They are all unruly people and should all be punished."  Die, die!"

    Hearing this, Okamura Neji's face changed drastically, and then he said angrily: "Baga, Kimura-kun, I know all about your department's performance in Shandong. To be honest, I am very disappointed. As a member of the Empire of Japan, and a  Lieutenant General Commander, a real soldier, can only take out his anger on ordinary people, which is indeed a bit unreasonable."

    Then Okamura Neiji said solemnly: "Based on the previous performance of each department, I have submitted a proposal to the China Expeditionary Forces Headquarters and the base camp, recommending that Kimura Hy¨­taro be dismissed from the position of commander of the 32nd Division, and that Sakai be dismissed  As for the position of commander of the 21st Division of Hao Ci, it is recommended that the commander of the 110th Division of Sangmu Chongming be revoked, and the base camp has adopted my suggestion, and the new division commander is already on the way!"

    As soon as these words came out, the entire conference room was silent!

    It is said that a new official has three things to do when he takes office. Everyone knows that Okamura Neiji will definitely find someone to establish his power after taking office, but they did not expect that he would directly attack the three main division commanders. This is a bit generous!

So far, the book has written more than 3.1 million words. The number of updates this month alone has reached 300,000 words, maintaining a daily update rate of 10,000 words.

    The new book is also about the Anti-Japanese War, but unlike the two books "The King of Soldiers" and "The Mission", the new book does not write about the National Army and the Communist Army, nor does it write about the Anti-Japanese War in the pass, but about the Northeast 31 years later. The protagonist is a domineering  Awesome bandit!  I hope all my friends will support me!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
