One Thousand One Hundred and Eighty-Two Distant Opponents

"Nani? What did you say? The second line of defense was raided by the German army at night? The enemy used a plane that could hover in the sky and carried out the bombing at night?" Ishihara Waner felt that his brain seemed a little bit It's not enough, he really didn't understand what the other party said on the phone.

What is a plane that can hover in the sky? Is it hovering? Or does it just stop there as if floating? Was this just another new technology in the hands of the Germans, or was it just panicked soldiers and officers exaggerating what they had seen and heard? Just the kind of plane hovering above the head was shocking enough, and then came the news that the second-line defensive position was penetrated by the German army, which completely stunned Ishihara Wanji.

With great difficulty, he traveled day and night and moved his headquarters from Harbin to Changchun. As a result, he heard the news that his troops had been defeated before he arrived in Changchun. Even in the face of the fierce attack of the Americans, the Japanese army did not collapse so quickly. What's more, the Americans would not easily launch a night attack. The more terrible point is that the German army was able to win after launching a night attack... …

How much the Japanese army can fight at night can be answered from the battle reports of the United States and the Soviet Union. Even if they know that the Japanese army will repeatedly carry out night counterattacks, the United States and the Soviet Union still have nothing to do about this kind of thing. More guard posts can be placed, or the troops can cancel the night rest in a short period of time. But even so, the effect can only be said to be unsatisfactory, and it is completely impossible to counterattack.

The terrible thing is that the Germans did it. Not only did they easily repel the Japanese attack at night, but they also launched a counterattack afterwards. Ishihara Waner held the receiver of the phone, frowning as he listened to the division commander on the other side of the phone describing the battle that night with a trembling voice: "Mr. In the center, the headquarters of the Kawasaki Regiment was occupied..."

"Baga! Are the sentries and guards just for display? They thought that the opponent's troops easily killed the headquarters of a regiment? All the officers of the Kawasaki regiment should have their seppuku! It was their dereliction of duty that ruined the Kawasaki regiment. !" Ishihara Waner was trembling with anger from the battle situation in front of him, the hand holding the phone seemed to crush the phone receiver in his heart.

This is simply a big joke. The Japanese army, which is known as the most capable of fighting night battles in the world, was defeated one after another in one night. After a failed counterattack, someone took advantage of the opportunity to infiltrate at night and took away his headquarters—if this wasn't a huge shame, then Ishihara Waner felt that there was nothing in this world that was worth being ashamed of.

He resisted the urge to draw out his command knife and cut the division commander on the other side of the phone in two, and continued to listen to the other party's report, while the division commander over there seemed to have sensed Ishihara's anger, and his voice began to stammer .

As a commander of the Kwantung Army stationed in Northeast China, Shi Yuan has read many Chinese books. He even studied the life of Li Hongzhang and read the modern history of the Qing Dynasty. He once heard the famous saying with a smile: guns are inferior to people,

Guns are not as good as people... Ishihara Waner, who heard this sentence at the time, smiled and said that it was because the opposing commander did not have the will to resist.

But now, the voice he heard in his ears was exactly the same: "Our tanks are not as good as Germany's, our planes are not as good as Germany's, and it seems that we are not as good as Germany in night combat... The Germans are more advanced than us in many aspects, and their tactics are also different. More powerful..."

He really wanted to slap the table and yell at the other party, but he really couldn't find a reason to scold him: his troops were really defeated by the German army, and the defeat was inexplicable, as if they were crushed in every aspect. Except for the soldiers' endless charge to death, his soldiers could not resist the torrent of steel composed of tanks and various weapons.

"Immediately use all your strength to confirm for me the total strength of the German army in the Far East and the number of heavy weapons and equipment... I want to know how much power the opponent has, and whether it can threaten Inner Mongolia and North China." Ishihara Waner finally suppressed it. Angry in my heart, I said to the person on the other side of the phone: "Also, strengthen all the existing defense lines, be sure to delay!"

After finishing the phone call, he dropped the receiver, walked out from behind his desk, picked up his coat, and said impatiently to his adjutant, "Get ready for the car! I'm going to see Mr. Yamashita right away!  … ...Bring me all the people from the intelligence department, and I want to ask them, is it because the new German weapons have entered my headquarters, so that they can know what the so many new weapons used by the other party are?"

The information about the German army was indeed very limited in the hands of the people in the intelligence department. Several of their spies in the Soviet Union had finally obtained the information in it, which was nothing more than some irrelevant weapon models and the designations of some troops. For Ishihara Waner, these things can only be regarded as better than nothing, and they can't play the role of analysis and research at all.

As for the kind of plane that can hover in the sky, Ishihara Wanji finally knew its real name—helicopter! As for the role of this aircraft, and what kind of tactics the German army deployed relying on this aircraft, the Japanese side still has no idea. Looking at the information in his hand, Ishihara smiled wryly and threw it on his desk. He knew that the focus of the intelligence department's work was never faraway Germany, so it's really no wonder they were able to come up with these inaccurate things. .

"Collect information for me immediately to find out the performance of the opponent's tank! And that damn helicopter... Information about Germany, including humanities, military establishment, industrial production capacity, diplomatic attitude, etc... No matter what, As long as you have it, bring it to me and study it carefully! The more the better!" Ishihara Waner put aside the inaccurate information, and told his intelligence team members: "There is also the other party's commander... Where is it?" one!"

After he finished speaking, he took his adjutant and went out to meet the German Tongshanshita, which is rare in Japan. Ishihara Wan'er walked towards the door, and murmured dissatisfiedly: "What kind of battle is this called? I don't even know who the commander of the opponent is."

The funny thing is, it’s no wonder that Ishihara Wanji doesn’t know the German commander, because the German Far East Volunteer Army is still under preparation, and the main force is still resting in the Volga River Basin, so the commander-in-chief of the German Far East Force is still vacant. In this case, if Ishihara Waner could know who the commander-in-chief of the German army is, then it would be hell.

Of course, it’s also fortunate that Ishihara Waner didn’t know about this matter. If the commander-in-chief of the Japanese Kwantung Army’s Far Eastern Front knew that the German army that beat him to death was a group of small characters like battalion commanders, the Japanese The general of the Kwantung Army might vomit three liters of blood and pass out directly.

After seeing Yamashita, Ishihara Wanji was not polite, and said directly: "Yamashita-san, our assessment of Germany's military strength is inaccurate. They were able to defeat the Soviets and Americans. It was not a fluke, but relying on Stronger strength... My troops suffered heavy losses in the initial encounter, do you have any good solutions for this?"

"With all due respect, General Ishihara, the best solution has been rejected by His Majesty the Emperor and the idiots in the headquarters." Yamashita smiled wryly, then shook his head and replied to the anxious Ishihara: "The Germans and We have no way to catch up with the industrial advantages of the Americans, and the best way for us to fight on two fronts is to quickly choose a camp to fight against."

"However, Yamashita-san, it's not that we don't plan to choose a camp, but that the United States and Germany seem to have unified their opinions, and they don't accept our goodwill... You know the terms they offer, they are really unacceptable." Ishihara Waner sighed and said to Yamashita: "Who would dare to accept that kind of terms?"

Yamashita shook his head, glanced at Ishihara and said with a smile: "Now fools also know that we are trapped in the Chinese battlefield and cannot extricate ourselves. Accepting us is tantamount to confronting China... This is obviously inconsistent with the strategic intentions of the United States and Germany."

He pointed to the map while talking, and guessed: "It's easy to guess what the Germans think. They want to influence the whole of Asia and kick out the American forces. It's obvious that it's better to win over China than to win us over. Americans' thoughts It seems to be the same, they don’t want Germany to dominate in Asia, so they try hard to insert a nail in Asia... It’s a pity that this nail is not us, but China!”

Speaking of this, Yamashita's expression became obviously depressed. He stroked the map hanging on the office wall back and forth a little lonely, as if he was talking to Shi Yuan, and he said to himself: "We have worked hard for 40 years. In 2000, I thought I surpassed China, but I didn’t know that this ancient country has been staggering for 2,000 years... Until today, I really saw the background of this country. The background of standing up. And we only have one chance to lose, and obviously we have wasted this chance."

Hearing what Yamashita said, Ishihara Waner was obviously taken aback. He looked at the mountain standing at the bottom of the map, and suddenly became sentimental. He fought for this country for most of his life, but at the peak moment of sweeping the Far East, he met a powerful opponent that Japan could almost never surpass—the Holy Third Reich of Great Germany in Europe!
