Eight Hundred and Ninety-Two Consensus

War makes every decision-maker anxious. Because you never know when your opponent is as smart as Zhuge Kongming, and you never know when they are so stupid that they don't even make sense. So Akado was wiping the ass of his subordinates, Stalin was so overwhelmed that he couldn't sleep, and Hideki Tojo and others in the Japanese base camp were too busy to collapse.

"The Americans really have so many supplies, and they gave them to the Soviets for free?" A Japanese general knocked on the document in front of him dismissively, regarding Tojo Hideki's second northward strategy He lashed out: "I think the source of the information in your hand is very unreliable, and it was completely fabricated by yourself!"

On the other hand, other generals are also whispering to each other. After all, for a country that already has a certain sense of doom, adjusting its strategic offensive direction again is not fundamentally different from suicide. They didn't think that the Soviet army was invincible, but that it took too long to prepare for adjusting the strategic offensive direction, and the variables were too great.

Since the end of the "Nuomenkan Incident", the Japanese side, especially the Army, has long given up the idea of ​​going north, so they gathered troops and won a series of brilliant victories going south. This is called an "unprecedented great strategy" by many army generals. Now they have to give up the strategy of going south and continue going north, which makes many people feel the burning pain of being slapped on the face.

It’s not just a matter of face, in fact, many bureaucrats of the “technical flow” within the Japanese army felt that it was not a very wise thing to go north to provoke the Soviet Union: the outcome of the Nomenkan incident proved that the armored forces of the Japanese army and the armored forces of the Soviet army There is an obvious gap between the troops. If the two sides clash again, the Japanese army is likely to lose again.

"The main force of the armored forces in the hands of the Soviet Union, that is, the advanced nature of the t-6 tank is beyond doubt, gentlemen." A general in charge of armored weapons of the Empire of Japan said helplessly: "Challenging an opponent of this level requires great caution. Just do it."

But in this regard, the air force of the Japanese army is obviously much more optimistic, because they didn't suffer much last time, so their mentality is much better than that of the army on the ground: "The air force that defeated the Soviet army in the Far East should not be there. Now, the key is how to realize the occupation.”

Aside from these superficial problems, there are already so many things that need to be adjusted secretly, which is creepy: Japan's overall material reserve deployment is biased towards the south because of its southward strategy. If a war starts in the north, then these materials will Most of them need to be transshipped to Northeast China, which is simply a fantasy for Japan.

You must know that even in Europe with well-developed railways and highways, it is a very huge project for the German army to deploy materials from south to north or from west to east. The purpose of doing so must be carefully studied.

In the land of China, which is so backward that there are basically no railways, and the road system is worse than that of the Soviet Union,

If you want to complete the transfer of materials required for the deployment of a large strategic-level force, it is not something that can be done just by touching the lips.

It is an indisputable fact that most of the Japanese military personnel rely on their legs to maneuver, plus bicycles and mules, combined with cars and railways, have a low degree of mechanization and a low degree of material dependence. However, assaulting players of the level of the Soviet Union cannot be solved by bayonet bicycles alone.

Because of the strength of the opponent, the Japanese army must also prepare corresponding countermeasures, such as the more advanced Type 97 medium tank, large-caliber support artillery, and the trains and cars that are necessary for fast assaults. These things are all material consumption. Big households, for the Japanese army, are high-end equipment that swallow gold coins.

The 97 tank was a new tank developed by the Japanese army in 1936. Its performance was indeed not weak at the time (the No. 3 and No. 4 that Akado played in advance are not in the comparison range). Compared with the Soviet T-26 tank, it is also a bright spot. full of existence. Small tanks were popular in those days, and it was indeed not done by one family in Japan.

The key is the positioning of tanks in various countries, which directly affects the record and intuitive performance of Japanese tanks. People are speechless here, but the definition of this medium-sized tank of the Japanese army completely makes users feel that they spent a lot of money but did not buy good things. This is like buying a Japanese Toyota Camry, gritting your teeth and saying that your super car is hard to compare with the BMW 75. It's not that the Camry is bad, the key is that it is really not the same level.

Armies all over the world have equipment of the level of Japanese 97 tanks, such as the German No. 3 assault gun, the Soviet T-26, and the US 31ee, etc. Unfortunately, there is no country in the world called this. The level of tanks is now medium tanks.

In March 1939, the Germans were still using the No. 3 chassis at this time purely out of economic considerations. The No. 3 assault gun in production was also an armored vehicle to support infantry, not an armored decisive weapon. The mainstay of the German armored forces It's a Leopard tank. The US Army does the same job with 4. The Soviets are already playing with t-34 and Stalin.

At this time, the Japanese are still holding the thighs of their 15-ton Type 97 tanks, insisting that it is a medium-sized tank, and using it as the main tank. This is a typical behavior of driving ducks to the shelves. In fact, the Type 97 that the Japanese army intends to use to deal with the t-26 tank is nothing more than a little stronger than the old t-26 "grandfather".

This involves a philosophical issue. It’s not that everyone insists on belittling those who ride electric cars as poor people. After all, many people still can’t afford electric cars. It's not that everyone hates the rich and maliciously pours dirty water.

Of course, in fact, Japan’s Type 4 tank, which is similar to the German main tank Leopard on paper data, is still in the imagination of tank designers. As for the Type 1 tank, which is about the same level as the No. It's just something on the drawing, not even a model.

Although Japan was the only "powerful country" in Asia that was able to develop tank technology alone with Western powers at that time. But after all, the family background is limited, and the essence of being rich cannot be changed. The things it produces are indeed far from the real armored power.

In addition, Japan has always had a glorious tradition of "giving half of the pie to the navy". When the army tried its best to produce a few more small tanks for playing games, the navy itself was still playing the superior "aav" (now It’s called efv) internal fire boat, so there is nothing surprising about such a tragic situation.

Since the Japanese army has a history of researching aircraft carriers, please don't make a fuss about the Japanese navy developing and equipping amphibious tanks. Marshal Yamamoto Fifty-Six is ​​still stuck in a dilemma in the Solomon Islands. Isn't it because of the army's weird insistence on fighting Imphal?

While everyone was talking, Hideki Tojo and Moto Sugiyama exchanged glances, Moto Sugiyama coughed twice, and said, "Silence! This time we are going to war against the Soviet Union. Naturally, it will have an advantage, and I have analyzed the specific advantages with a few generals, and I will let Tojo-kun talk about it for everyone."

Hideki Tojo picked up the document in front of him, and said slowly: "First, our intelligence personnel are confirming the specific strength of the Soviet army in the Far East... and are also analyzing how much material the US aided the Soviet Union.

"The Soviets' secrecy work is better than we imagined. We have explored some supply bases where the Soviet Union hoarded American supplies. There are indeed a lot of supplies inside. We are counting the specific quantities." A person in charge of intelligence The Colonel of the Japanese Army humbly said to all the generals present: "What is certain is that there are a lot of supplies, which are unimaginable."

The specific military strength of the Soviet army in the Far East cannot be verified, because before the start of the Soviet-German war, the Soviet army deployed in the Far East should have around 150,000 troops. This number is... [This chapter is not finished, please click on the next page to continue reading ! ]

It is also because of this that after the Japanese army tested the combat effectiveness of the Soviet army in the Nuomenkan incident, they never mentioned the matter of going north. What the tyrant Yingzheng did (digging people to dig graves to repair the "defense line"), they did it again in a different way and in a different place.

It was agreed at the beginning that I would be a coward for the rest of my life, but now let the big guy change defense to offense? Isn't this a joke? The number of people is not as large as that of the Soviet Union, and the equipment is not as good as that of the Soviet Union. They still have a little bit of courage in the fortress. This is the thinking of most of the grassroots officers and soldiers of the Japanese army. It is very simple and closely related to the lives of the big guys.

Therefore, when the assistant officer in military intelligence began to report on the military power in the border areas of the Soviet Union, many of the generals present felt relieved. Because the intelligence from the Japanese side shows that although the Soviet army has reduced the defense force in the border area, it still maintains a huge force advantage over the Japanese Kwantung Army.

The confirmed withdrawn strength of the Soviet army is more than 70,000, which is about half of the total strength of the Soviet army in the Far East. Even so, the conservative estimate of the Soviet army is still around one million, which is still not an existence that can be shaken by a mere 60,000 Japanese troops.

At least the existing military strength and intelligence do not support Japan in launching a northward war in the Far East. This is the consensus of all the Japanese generals here——

It's Long Ling's birthday today, so I'm begging for a monthly pass, a recommendation ticket, a reward, a collection of book reviews...! [End of this chapter]
