Chapter 892

"According to German intelligence, 60 divisions were transferred to the west line, which is about 900000 troops, which means that only 600000 Soviet troops are in the Far East. "The intelligence officer took the intelligence intercepted from Germany and said," this intelligence is isolated evidence, so the credibility is not high. "

As he spoke, he went to the front of the map, pointed to the above areas with a pointer, and introduced the situation respectively: "we have more than 50 divisions of Soviet troops in these areas, so it is incorrect to think that the main force of the Far East Soviet army has been transferred."

"The Soviet army may be exaggerating and deceiving the German army, so I think the transferred troops should be 40 divisions or 45 divisions, not 60 divisions as shown in the German intelligence." The assistant official looked at the information in his hand and finally said, "according to intelligence, the Soviet Army's current strength in the Far East is about 900000."

"Whoosh." Hideki Tojo nodded, then looked at Sugiyama. In order to facilitate this plan, they used a large number of spies to sneak into the Soviet Union. Of course, their subordinates threw themselves into their favor and investigated a lot of evidence about the main force of the Soviet Army's westward advance. Although the evidence was very vague, it confirmed general Shan Yuan's belief in the humiliation of going northward.

But on the other hand, to strengthen the faith is to strengthen the faith, but it can not make up for the strong shadow of the Japanese army. The last time the Japanese made trouble in the Nomenkan area, although they could not call it a tragic defeat, they did not get any advantage. At least its strategy of going north was directly turned into a strategy of going south by the Soviet Union, which shows that its heart is still very afraid of the Soviet army.

In that battle, the 122 mm caliber howitzer of the Soviet army did not want the pitiful 75 mm field artillery in the hands of the Japanese army. The Japanese army even asked its own artillery not to fight back, so as not to attract more fierce retaliation from the Soviet army. So much so that Puyi, the "emperor's Majesty" of the puppet Manchukuo, heard that the Soviet cannons were so powerful that even the Taijun could not be provoked.

As for the terrible Soviet tanks, the Japanese army has no way to deal with them. The Japanese armored forces in Northeast China have not been very many. Even after strengthening, the number of tanks that can be gathered is less than 600, which is similar to that of the two German armored divisions.

All in all, they are not as strong as the total strength of an armored force of the German army. Most of the 600 tanks are 95 light cavalry tanks and 89 type medium tanks. Even the 97 type medium tanks despised by the great powers are very few. It's no different from suicide to go to trouble with the Soviets.

If not, the Soviet army deployed a T-34 armored battalion in the Far East, which would be enough for the Japanese to drink. If it's not good, the Soviets can still play a trump card in tanks. It's also the kind that destroys 100 tanks. It sounds like the high-end atmosphere.

"This time, we avoided the direction of Mongolia and entered the mountain area with the advantage of infantry. We did not compete with the Soviet armored forces for a while. We only took the Soviet supply base as the target." Shan Shan Yuan stood up and motioned to the intelligence officer beside the map to give him the pointer. Then he picked up the pointer and pointed to the position on the map.

He drew a line on the side of Northeast China and said, "we are not going to have a decisive battle with the Soviet armored forces in the direction of the broad Mongolian border. We are going to attack directly from the Greater Xing'an Mountains and the lesser Xing'an Mountains. In areas where tanks are not suitable, we are going to attack with infantry."

Japan is very good at it. The infantry of the great Japanese Empire are the best in shooting and bayonet fighting. This is the conclusion drawn from the army's internal self hypnosis. If we only compete in infantry, all the army generals here will think that their troops will not lose.

There is a natural mountain barrier outside the Khingan mountains. Is it not easy for Japanese infantry to deal with the Soviet troops who have lost their armored superiority? Can excellent soldiers of the great Japanese Empire fight two Soviet soldiers one at a time? In a word, if we exclude the absolute inferiority of the Japanese in armored forces, it seems that the war is not completely invincible.

If the navy can temporarily suppress the powerful U.S. Navy with sneak attacks, then the army will certainly be able to restrain the powerful Soviet army with sneak attacks. As long as the Soviet Union loses about 100000 to 200000 troops in the border area after a large-scale sneak attack, the purpose of seizing the strategic materials of the Soviet army can be achieved.

As for defending the whole occupied area, it seems difficult for the Japanese army, but it is not difficult to cover the retreat of a large number of materials and return to their own defense line. As long as they return to Northeast China, where there are many fortresses, the Soviet army will not dare to fight back even if they suffer losses.

This is what Sugiyama won and Hideki Tojo thought. As for what would happen if the Soviet Army really fought back, he did not think about it at all, just as the Japanese Navy did not think about what the United States would do if it did not surrender after the attack on Pearl Harbor.

They believed that the Soviet army had a strong enemy, Germany, and would not set up a strong enemy, Japan. Therefore, the Soviet Union would only tolerate peace with Japan and even give up some territory. It was the same as when the Japanese Navy thought that the United States would surrender and give up part of its interests in Southeast Asia.

"Mr. Dongtiao, Mr. Sugiyama. With all due respect, we can no longer draw up a half baked strategic plan like this. " An army general frowned and asked himself, "if the Soviet Union does not compromise and seeks peace, but launches a counterattack, what should we do?"

Yes, the Soviets should be humiliated to seek peace. But if those old men are really smart and don't surrender, will Japan be able to defend the existing defense line without collapsing? It's not just that Hideki Tojo doesn't know, nor does Mr. Sugiyama“ Moreover, even if we have solved the gap between the armored forces going north and the artillery, our troops are accustomed to using portable small caliber artillery, which is determined by our transportation capacity, but the Soviet artillery has a longer range and greater power than our artillery. Can we ignore this gap? " A general in charge of artillery also put forward his own question. Of course, there are still many such problems. Many places in Northeast China are deserted and uninhabited. These places are not much better than the tropical forests in Myanmar. How terrible the material consumption is when fighting in these places? Of course, the Japanese army who has just experienced the battle of inpar is very clear. Most of the Japanese generals here are not seduced by the beautiful pie outlined by Hideki Tojo and Yuan Sugiyama. They keep their own sense. At this time, in addition to the crazy Dongtiao and Shanshan, we all think that it is extremely unwise to provoke another powerful opponent. Is NIMA still alive? After China is confused, China will turn to the US and fight the Chinese war with the United States. Now that we can't beat the United States, we have started to attack the Soviet Union and use it to attack the Soviet Union. This mode of thinking is really against the sky“ recess! recess! This plan will continue to be improved as a preliminary plan! " Hideki Tojo reluctantly gave up his plan to implement the plan at this stage. He can only announce a temporary recess to ease the embarrassment of not answering a single question. Sugiyama yuan also vomited a bad breath. Just now, he almost patted the table and said, "the soldiers of the great Japanese Empire have a stronger faith. Your majesty protects us from failure!" To answer these questions. This is a typical rogue: when you tell him about the gap between the two sides, he tells you about the quality of the soldiers; When you talk to him about the gap between weapons and equipment, he talks to you about the sacrifice spirit of soldiers; When you told him about the material reserves and the determination of the two sides, he began to talk with you about how to challenge the strong enemy for the sake of the country. The weakness in the Pacific battlefield and the failure of the Southeast Asian war finally brought back a little rationality, at least on the surface. The senior officers of the army have temporarily denied some arrogant plans to invade the Soviet Union, and are preparing to blame their old opponents and colleagues for the recent series of setbacks of the Navy. When the Japanese army denied the attack plan and began to discuss the accountability of the Japanese Navy after the recess, the Soviet command in the Far East also received a top secret telegram: "in view of the increasingly unfavorable situation of the Soviet war on the western front, Stalin planned to secretly mobilize another 10 divisions to Mosco area to safeguard the absolute security of the capital."“ When will these troops begin to move? " Asked a Soviet general, with his hands behind his back“ The order says, "the sooner the better!" The Soviet staff officer, holding the telegram, bowed his head and replied. For the sake of the motherland, the Soviet army once again dispatched 10 divisions of combat troops from the Far East and sent these young people to a more bloody "Western Front battlefield.". Although the Soviet army still maintained more than one million troops in the Far East after expansion, its combat level has dropped a lot. And this time, because time was too tight and the means of preparation were not enough, the news that the Soviet troops were dispatched to their Western Front was soon discovered by Japanese infiltrating spies“ Mr. Kudo! This is great news. At least seven Soviet standing divisions have disappeared from the border area! Our men sneaked into the vicinity of their railway station and found that their troops were being deployed on a large scale! " A Japanese spy gave his intelligence to his superior and said happily“ Yo The intelligence officer who called Kudo nodded excitedly and replied approvingly, "I will send this intelligence to the commander immediately." Long Ling is going to celebrate his birthday later. He may come back late or early... If he comes back early, he will give you extra shifts. If he can't come back, even if he owes you two shifts, we all know that he has to make up for it... So don't be too disappointed!
