Chapter 897

"Then, do it!" Stalin looked at Zhukov, lit his pipe in his hand, then held it in his mouth and said with a smile, "I support you! I will support you in the name of the leader of the Soviet Union and fight back the aggressors! Comrade Zhukov

"Hum!" All of a sudden, the huge conference room was boiling, and everyone was talking about it. I don't know why Stalin gave such a firm order to go south. What is the reason? In more than ten days, the supreme leader of the Soviet Union came up with the idea that he had to go south to fight a decisive battle?

In fact, it's very simple, because a piece of military intelligence from the Far East is still absolutely confidential, because once this secret is made public, many of the wall riding factions in the Soviet Union will be shaken. Because this information is very simple, the Japanese army mobilized 10000 elite troops from North China and Shandong and other regions, and began to secretly go north along the railway line and public route.

It is said that it was a secret move to the north, but the Japanese army's action was inevitably discovered by some interested people. After all, 10000 troops were drawn and adjusted to move into areas with special environment. The movement can be said to be as big as it was. At that time, there were not many railways and roads in China, and there were no conditions to hide.

In order to maintain the local public order, the Japanese army also forcibly expanded part of the puppet forces in the occupied areas of China, and recruited many local youths and middle-aged people of unsuitable age to serve in these areas where the troops were deployed, so as to ensure the absolute security of the occupied areas. These troops are far worse than those removed, which makes the Japanese immigrants in these areas feel that they are dying.

Before the beginning of World War II, Germany, including the German adherents in the surrounding areas and some forces in the pro German areas, managed to gather 100 million people and integrate the industrial resources of the occupied areas. The number of armed forces in the end was still limited.

Japan's industrial base is not as good as Germany's, and its population is not as large as Germany's, but it thinks that Japan's strategy is too bad, so Japan's front is longer than Germany's. This makes the problem of Japan's shortage of troops more prominent and more fatal.

It is still Germany, though its military strength is not much compared with the size of the occupied area. However, most of the German troops have high military quality, and the proportion of armored forces and mechanization ranks first in the world, which allows the German troops to make up for part of the shortage in quantity at least in quality.

On the contrary, Japan's idea of military expansion is almost the same as Hitler's Nazi Germany in another time and space. It's too much of a joke to train new recruits for a few days, then issue a rifle and use it as a soldier.

The infantry division is not a combat force composed solely of infantry. In order to have the ability to fight against most of the enemy forces, the infantry division often needs to be incorporated into artillery units to provide firepower support and anti tank artillery units to provide anti armor capability. Therefore, an infantry division is not a "pure" infantry division.

Now, in order to support the Navy's production, Japan has compressed almost all the production capacity that can be compressed. There are very few luxury goods such as cannons. They are basically supplied to the first division and the second division. There are basically no decent cannons in the later division.

The 15mm caliber heavy artillery (refer to the Japanese definition of heavy tank, don't make a fuss) has no choice but to replace it with 75mm field artillery; The output of 75mm field artillery was not enough, so it was replaced by 6mm mortar... In the end, the substitutes were grenades and grenades.

The original quota of grade a division is more than 2, which is almost several times that of a Chinese division. As a result, when the army was expanded, the number of class B divisions and regiments was a little sad. The number of divisions and regiments decreased to 24, but at least there was a skeleton. Now, the number of Japanese C-level division and d-level division is only 13, 000 or even 11, 000. In April 1939, Japanese division finally gave birth to a freak with the same number as Chinese division.

In fact, according to the standard of the German national defense force, some of the units formed by the Japanese army can only be regarded as infantry regiments with a large number of people at most, which are called divisions. Of course, if the so-called armored forces of the Japanese army are included, the specifications of the Japanese army are even more desperate for the people in the industry.

If the Japanese armored forces are taken into account, the combat effectiveness of the so-called armored brigades and regiments, or even regiments, is estimated to be similar to that of an armored battalion of the German army. This is simply the result of conversion of combat effectiveness. If there is a real fight, it is estimated that the Japanese tanks will be completely destroyed by the German armored forces, and a German tank will not be damaged.

In the second battle of Hawaii, the Japanese division a finished the famous 7th Division (part), and then finished the newly formed 1st division on Wake Island. Later, at the end of the battle of inpar, the 15th division was intercepted by the Chinese Communist Party.

Under such circumstances, the Japanese army boldly dispatched the elite 17th division, two ordinary grade B divisions and five grade C divisions to form a new army, ready to go north to attack the Soviet Union. In addition, the eight grade a divisions under the jurisdiction of the Kwantung Army, namely, the 1st division, the 9th division, the 1st division, the 11th division, the 12th division, the 14th division and the 8th division; There are also the 24th, 25th, 2nd, 29th, and 57th class B divisions, which have made up nearly 60000 offensive troops.

Such a large-scale transport of troops to the front, as long as the Soviet Union is not blind, can detect a trace. Many of the generals in charge of the defense work of the Soviet army in the Far East are capable people of the Soviet army. For example, the only general commanding the Soviet Army's mobile group army in the Far East is trikov, who is only 39 years old. So these Soviet generals immediately transmitted the crisis of Japanese troops increasing in Northeast China back to the Soviet Union, and urgently mobilized 10000 new soldiers in the Far East. In addition, the Soviet army has maintained more than 10000 troops in the Far East (and the combat effectiveness of these troops is not strong), so the Soviet Union expanded its troops in the Far East to 110000 by expanding them regardless of the cost“ fuck! If the enemy were not blind, they would know that we were adding troops to Manchuria. " Hideki Tojo was furious in the conference room when he heard that his troops were still on their way in the old way more than ten years ago. Sitting on the sofa, looking at his colleagues, Mr. Sugiyama finally explained helplessly: "Mr. dongtiaojun, our troops are lack of mechanized rapid mobility and can only rely on the incoherent and backward railways and highways in the Chinese battlefield." What he didn't mean to say was that when the Germans had tried to use railways and roads, trains, cars and planes to transport troops and supplies, his troops were still relying on horses and livestock. The 17th division is a little better. Those grade C divisions are basically relying on "route 11" to move“ In this way, we have no chance of "covert raid" at all Hideki Tojo frowned, then looked at Mr. Sugiyama: "Mr. Sugiyama, the intelligence department has confirmed that the Soviet army is strengthening its strength in the Far East, which shows that our intention has been discovered by the Soviet Union!"“ I've also heard about this news, and I don't think the Northeast war can be conducted under the name of seihiro Tanigaki... "Sugiyama yuan suddenly changed the topic, which made Tojo a little uncomfortable. However, Sugiyama yuan's subsequent words made Tojo feel very reasonable:" general Fengwen Yamashita has returned to the Pacific battlefield, General Itagaki Shiro must stabilize the situation in the battle of China, and we can * * t use generals in the North strategy. It's not an easy job to deal with the long-standing Soviet Red Army. If we kill tens of thousands of Chinese Communist teams, it's estimated that such an administrative general as Hideki Tojo can do it by himself. However, faced with the Soviet troops who had added an infinite psychological shadow to the Japanese army, Hideki Tojo and Yuan Sugiyama both felt that they were not sure of winning. Everyone will take credit naturally, but when it comes to such dangerous things, most people will still choose to seek good fortune and avoid bad fortune. At least Hideki Tojo and Yuan Sugiyama did not think about directing this matter, but they were seriously considering the right person. Suddenly, Hideki Tojo patted her thigh and thought of such a person: Ishihara smile! The Japanese general's command skills and strategic vision are fairly good, at least among the Japanese army, he is the leading figure. Together with seihiro Tanigaki, he is a bit of Rommel and goodrian's "imperial double". They are known as "the wisdom of Ishihara" and "the courage of Ishigaki" in Japanese military circles. As soon as Shan Yuan heard this, he knew that Hideki Tojo had a bad heart this time. There is a contradiction between Ishihara and Hideki Tojo. When they launch their enemies at this time, it is natural for everyone to be happy and lose. But knowing that Hideki Tojo is upset and kind-hearted is totally different from preventing him from doing so. So Sugiyama yuan wiped his sweat, nodded and agreed to Tojo's proposal, and found a good reason for Tojo's proposal: "shiyuanjun has been to Germany, studied the advanced armored force command, and probably can understand and speculate the Soviet people's military habits... In this case, it's very appropriate for him to command himself."—— Because of the error in the update of the starting point, I hope you can understand.
