Although it is said that in many cases, the Japanese high-level officials have been in a state of brain crash in formulating strategies for a long time, it has to be said that no matter how weak the Japanese army is, it still has the title of "the strongest infantry in World War I in World War II". In terms of combat effectiveness, this army that believes in bushido spirit still has a certain combat effectiveness, so after breaking through several Soviet defense lines in succession, the shadow of the Japanese army in Nomenkan was gradually weakened.
The fighter planes of the Japanese army also took off frequently at the field airports of the front line, and used their number advantage to suppress the inferior air force of the Soviet Union. In order to cover this huge attack, the Japanese army used a total of 400 aircraft of various types. Although it is quite humble compared with the size of thousands of German aircraft, it is definitely a big deal to put it in such a place as the Far East.
However, Ishihara found a problem that made him despair, that is, after having the relevant experience of being abused by the German superior air force, the Soviet army lost its air supremacy. Therefore, even if the Japanese army air force exerted great efforts, it hardly had any huge impact on the ground forces of the Soviet Red army.
In fact, the pressure of Ishihara's smile is still very huge. In order to entangle the Soviet armored forces, his armored forces and the 17th division sent him several telegrams a day to complain. These troops have been ravaged by the superior Soviet armored forces and lost their temper. Like a suffering daughter-in-law, they cry and shout that they want to go back to their mother's home first to avoid the wind.
Finally, the supreme commander of the Japanese army, shihara Guaner, finally pushed his second echelon reserve team to the battlefield when he was close to the target. He replaced the 1st and 8th divisions, which had been fighting hard for a long time, with the 9th and 10th divisions. Then the 11th and 12th divisions were used to replace the collapsed 17th division and the Japanese armored division.
Who would have thought that the Japanese army's proud armored forces were still vulnerable to the Soviet Union's obsolete junk? Looking at the riveted little tanks that have escaped, Ishihara finally realized the gap between Japan and the world's major military powers.
Obviously, there is a good side to it. Which country in the world can still fight on the front line after losing two-thirds of its troops? It's just the imperial army of the great Japanese Empire, isn't it? At least spiritually, Ishihara feels that the Japanese army is still invincible.
"Your Excellency, commander!" As the commander of the 14th division of the general reserve, lieutenant general Jingguan Longchang stood behind Ishihara and bowed his head to salute with a commanding knife: "since the beginning of the war, our army has been in a state of great momentum, and the lower officer greatly admired the commander's skillful use of arms. When can we fight for the emperor? "
"Ah, Mr. Jingguan... Don't worry. You and your division will have a place in the future." Standing in the temporary command shed, Ishihara replied with a smile, looking at the rising smoke on the battlefield.
There is no reason not to laugh, because under his command, although the Japanese army fell into a bitter battle, it also made a rare advance speed. The whole northbound Group advanced to the hinterland of the Far East of the Soviet Union at a speed of tens of kilometers every day, and even Tojo Yingji, who was ready to find fault, closed his mouth. At present, most of the few people who know the market at the top of the base camp already feel that it seems that only this "Ishihara Zhizhi" can save the army of the great Japanese Empire and be serious about the whole great Japanese Empire.
But history is cruel. In the telegram from the Far East garrison headquarters of the Soviet Union to the Kremlin in Moscow, it describes the Japanese attack as follows: "the Japanese advance speed is twice as slow as the German, they lack the means to transport supplies and heavy weapons, and our army has compressed its advance speed within a controllable range, Don't worry about further deterioration in the Far East. "
In trakov's view, the Japanese army went all out to attack. This speed was the basic advance speed after the German army was seriously hindered in the original plan. To put it bluntly, in the serious situation of trakov, the Japanese marched at full speed, barely reaching the speed of the German offensive.
Now, of course, Ishihara didn't know that there was such a huge gap between his troops and the German army, which had the highest mechanization popularity in the world. At this moment, he is still imagining that his troops can rush into Vladivostok, gnaw a piece of meat in the Far East hinterland of the Soviet Union, and then complete a unilateral peace negotiation with the Soviet Union.
Ishihara clearly saw that in the Soviet German battlefield, there was a great probability that the German army would eventually win, and the defeated Soviet Union would lose its richest territory. It is in the interests of the Japanese army to take advantage of the fire at this time. As long as the Soviet Union and Germany compromise, the territory acquired by Japan will be Japanese territory. The situation he outlined for the Japanese army is very ingenious: as long as Germany invades Moscow, Japan's special envoy will negotiate with Germany and the Soviet Union at the same time to bring the relations between the three countries back to a state of peace - then Japan's occupied territory will realize Japan's dream of dominating East Asia.
It can be said that Ishihara's plan seems to be more "feasible" than the Navy's plan to defeat the U.S. Navy, because he decisively saw that Japan itself could not bring down the Soviet Union, so he decisively drew on Germany, the former ally and today's enemy. Relying on a strong Germany to defeat the Soviet Union and taking advantage of the fire, Japan's plan of action is much better than the plan that the Navy rolled up its sleeves to fight in person and that the United States would never die. At least Ishihara outsourced the work that the Japanese army could not do to the German army of akkado.
Kimura curled up in the temporary trench with his rifle and desperately endured the machine gun of the Soviet garrison flying over his helmet. Now he knows that his hard-working shooting skills are just a money saving link for the army to save ammunition. Just like Chinese soldiers, China is a poor country, so guns are more expensive than human lives, which leads to the combat habit of Chinese troops that they would rather lie down two seconds later than protect their guns. Japan is no richer than China, so submachine guns are a "luxury" for them to waste ammunition, so that the Japanese army rarely equips submachine guns. That's why national conditions determine tactics. That's why there are few submachine guns equipped in Japan. That's why Japanese soldiers don't have semi-automatic weapons like G43 or M1. A small country, which has grown up by means of thrift, speculation and gambling, is proud of its achievements. Can it ask them to do better? The markqin heavy machine gun of the Soviet soldiers on the opposite side even has a steel shield. The Japanese type 92 heavy machine gun with a very high body can't be compared with markqin in terms of firing speed. Make complaints about the 92 heavy machine guns, even the Japanese themselves are not willing to tuck up the slot. This kind of weapon even has a gap compared with Mark Qin 20 years ago. Kimura saw with himself that the 92 type heavy machine gun shooter who had covered the infantry attack on the side of the side was hit by the Soviet Union in the trench, and when he was hobbling past to help him, The shooter is no longer worth saving. Fortunately, because Kimura had a good performance in the last battle, he was assigned to the machine gun team as a flank cover, so he didn't have to charge forward with those unfortunate guys. So he is still breathing happily, and most of those recruits have died on the road of charging. From time to time, Soviet heavy artillery would pass Kimura's position and fall on the Japanese artillery position not far behind him. The Japanese artillery with only a small number of 70mm caliber 92 infantry guns were not the opponents of the Soviet artillery with a large number of 122mm howitzers. From the beginning of the battle, the artillery battle was just a "game" of a group of Soviet RMB players "abusing vegetables" unilaterally. Looking at the battlefield, Japanese soldiers bravely launched attacks again and again, and finally retreated by the fierce firepower of the Soviet soldiers, Ishihara couldn't help but feel sad. The artillery position 100 meters in front of him had been smashed by the Soviet artillery, which also made him more intuitive feel the gap between the two sides in firepower“ Baga Ishihara finally couldn't sit still. He decided what he should do to be worthy of his name and the soldiers struggling in the front line. So he turned around and asked his adjutant, "where are the Ishii troops?"
