Chapter 891

The war left every decision-maker in a mess. Because you never know when your opponent will be as smart as Zhuge Kongming, or when they will be so stupid that they will not even talk about the truth. So akado is wiping his hands' buttocks, Stalin is too busy to sleep, and Hideki Tojo and others in the Japanese base camp are busy to collapse.

"Do the Americans really have so many supplies and give them to the Soviets free of charge?" A Japanese general beat the document in front of him with disdain, and attacked the second northward operation policy proposed by Tojo Yingji: "I think the source of the intelligence in your hand is very unreliable. It's completely made up by yourself!"

On the other hand, other generals are also whispering. After all, there is no fundamental difference between adjusting one's own strategic attack direction and suicide for a country that is already at a dead end. They did not think that the Soviet side could not be defeated, but that it took too long to prepare for the adjustment of the strategic offensive direction, and the variables were too big.

Since the end of the "Nomenkan incident", the Japanese side, especially the army side, had already given up the idea of going north, so they gathered their troops and won a series of brilliant victories. Many army generals regard this as an "unprecedented great strategy". Now they have to abandon the strategy of going south and continue to go north, which makes many people feel the pain of being whipped.

In fact, many Japanese "technology flow" bureaucrats feel that it is not a very wise thing to go northward to provoke the Soviet Union: the outcome of the Nomenkan incident has proved that there is a clear gap between the Japanese army's armored forces and the Soviet Army's armored forces. Once the two sides break out conflict again, the Japanese army is likely to lose again.

"The main force of the Soviet Union's armored forces, that is, the advanced nature of T-26 tanks, is beyond doubt, gentlemen." A general in charge of the armored weapons of the great Japanese Empire said helplessly: "to challenge an opponent of this level, we need to be very careful."

However, it is obvious that the Japanese army's air force is much more optimistic about this problem. Because they did not suffer much loss last time, their mentality is much better than that of the army on land: "it should be no problem to defeat the air force of the Soviet army in the Far East, but the key is how to realize the occupation."

Aside from these superficial problems, there are just a lot of things that need to be adjusted secretly, which is creepy: because of Japan's strategy of going south, the overall material reserve deployment is biased towards the south. If there is a war in the north, most of these materials need to be transferred to Northeast China, which is for Japan, It's just a fantasy.

You should know that even in Europe, where the railway and highway are well developed, it is a huge project for the German Communist Party to deploy materials from south to north or from west to East. The train dispatching and transportation safety, as well as the confidentiality work, and the purpose of doing so should be carefully studied.

In China, where there are few railways and the road system is worse than that of the Soviet Union, the transfer of materials needed to complete the deployment of a huge strategic level army can not be accomplished with one lip on one hand and one lip on the other.

It is an indisputable fact that most of the mobility of Japanese military personnel depends on their legs, plus bicycles, mules and horses, coupled with cars and railways, and their mechanization degree is relatively low, and their dependence on materials is also relatively small. However, attacking the level of the Soviet Union can not be solved by bayonet bicycles alone.

Because of the strong opponent, the Japanese army must also prepare corresponding countervailing means, such as the more advanced 97 type medium-sized combat vehicle, the large caliber support artillery, and the train and car that must be used for rapid assault. These things are big consumers of materials, and are high-level equipment for the Japanese army to swallow gold coins.

The 97 tank was a new tank developed by the Japanese army in 1936. Its performance was not weak at that time (No. 3 and No. 4, which akado played in advance, were not in the scope of comparison). Compared with the T-26 tank of the Soviet Union, it was full of bright spots. Small tanks were popular that month. It's really not the Japanese family that did it.

The key is the positioning of tanks in various countries, which directly affects the performance of Japanese tanks. The Japanese definition of medium-sized chariot makes users feel that they spent a lot of money but didn't buy good things. It's like buying a Japanese Toyota Camry and gritting its teeth that its C-class car is hard to compare with the BMW 750. It's not that the Camry is bad. The key is that it's really not the same level.

All over the world, there are Japanese 97 tank equipment, such as German No.3 assault gun, Soviet T-26 and us m3lee. Unfortunately, there is no country in the world that calls this kind of tank medium combat vehicle.

In March 1939, the Germans were still using the No. 3 chassis for purely economic reasons. The No. 3 assault gun produced in Germany was also an armored vehicle to support infantry, not an armored decisive weapon. The mainstay of the German armored forces was the leopard tank, while the American * * team was doing the same job as the M4. The Soviets were already playing T-34 and Stalin.

At this time, however, the Japanese still hold their own 15 ton type 97 tank thighs and insist that it is a medium-sized tank, and also use it as a main tank. This is a typical behavior of rushing ducks to the shelves. In fact, the type 97 that the Japanese army intends to use against the T-26 tank is just a little better than the old T-26 "old man".

This involves a philosophical problem. It's not that everyone insists on belittling the poor guy who rides an electric car. After all, many people still can't afford an electric car. But it's just that riding an electric car has to have more face than driving a Ferrari. It's not that people hate the rich and pour dirty water on it. Of course, in fact, Japan's four type combat vehicle, which is similar to the leopard type of the main German tank in paper data, is still in the imagination of tank designers. As for the one type combat vehicle which is similar to the No. 3 level, it's just something on the drawing, not even a model. Although Japan was the only "powerful country" in Asia that could develop tank technology alone with Western powers at that time. But after all, the family background is limited, and the nature of Chafu can't be changed. What it does is far behind the real armored power. In addition, Japan has always had the glorious tradition of "giving half of the share to the navy". When the army struggled to produce more small tanks, the Navy itself was still playing with the superior "AAV" (now called EFV) internal fireboat. Therefore, it is not surprising that such a tragedy occurred. Since the Japanese army has a history of studying aircraft carriers, please don't make a fuss about the fact that the Japanese Navy develops and equips itself with amphibious tanks. Marshal Yamamoto is still in a dilemma in Solomon Islands. Isn't it because of the army's insistence on fighting inpal? Just as everyone was talking, Hideki Tojo and Sugiyama exchanged glances with each other. Sugiyama coughed twice and said, "be quiet! In this war against the Soviet Union, we deliberately calculated that if the other side didn't, we would naturally have an advantage. I have analyzed the specific advantages with several generals, and now let Mr. Dongtiao speak for you. " Hideki Tojo picked up the document in front of him and said slowly, "first, our spies are confirming the specific strength of the Soviet army in the Far East... They are also analyzing how much material the United States has in aid of the Soviet Union."“ The Soviets did a better job of secrecy than we thought. We explored some of the Soviet supply bases where American materials were stored. There are a lot of materials in FA Mian. We are counting the specific quantity. " A Japanese assistant in charge of intelligence humbly said to all the generals here: "it's certain that there are a lot of materials, which are unimaginable." The specific military strength of the Soviet army in the Far East can not be verified, because before the start of the Soviet German war, the Soviet Army's troops deployed in the Far East should be about 1.5 million, which is a number that the Japanese army can't provoke in any case. So although the Japanese troops in Northeast China had more than 600000 soldiers, they were really scared. Just because of this, after the Japanese army tested the fighting capacity of the Soviet army in the Nomenkan incident, they never mentioned the matter of going north. They built a large number of strong fortifications in Northeast China. Anyway, the amount of work was not small. In the play, the tyrant Ying Zheng did something (digging graves to build "defense lines"), they changed the way, changed the place and operated it again. At the beginning, it was agreed that we would be a shrinking turtle all our life. Now let the big guy change defense to attack? Isn't that a joke? There are not as many people as the Soviet Union, and the equipment is not as good as the Soviet Union. There is still a bit of courage in squatting in the fortress, and it's not for you to kill yourself? This is the idea of most Japanese grass-roots officers and soldiers. It is very simple and closely related to the life of the big guy. So when the military intelligence assistant officials began to report the military forces in the Soviet border areas, many of the generals here felt relieved. Because the Japanese intelligence showed that although the Soviet Army reduced the defensive forces in the border areas, it still maintained a huge military advantage over the Japanese Kwantung Army. More than 700000 Soviet troops have been withdrawn, which is about half of the total Soviet troops in the Far East. Even so, the conservative estimate of the Soviet army is still about one million people, which is still not the existence that can be shaken by only 600000 Japanese troops. At least the existing military forces and intelligence do not support Japan's launching a northward war in the Far East. This is the consensus of all the Japanese generals present here - today is Longling's birthday, so I'm looking for a monthly ticket to recommend a book review!
