Imperial Overlord

When fighting in China, the Japanese troops rarely worry about food, they only need to care about ammunition and ensure the advancement of the troops.

What if there is no food during the battle? In China, the Japanese just had to **** them on the spot. Anyway, if they saw what they were robbing, they would always get food supplies.

The big deal is to slaughter the villages without food, which not only prevents guerrilla activities, but also does not have to worry about the subsequent appeasement consumption.

As for cruelty or not, that is not the concern of Japanese high-level officials. All they want is land, not inferior Chinese people...

But this habit has also caused Japan to suffer a lot. When the Japanese army attacked Burma, because of logistical supply problems, there has been no good solution until now.

In New Guinea, this supply mode, which is completely dependent on the rear, also made the Japanese army timid and unable to exert their full strength.

It can be said responsibly that in the face of a weak China, the bad habits developed by Japan have more or less brought fatal problems to Japan's subsequent strategic development.

For example, the misjudgment that the Japanese tanks obtained in the Chinese theater and the Southeast Asian theater have good performance and can compete with mainstream countries has made Japan far behind in the development and reserve of tank technology.

The experience that logistical supplies on the Chinese battlefield can be "lame" has also deepened their previous prejudice that "logistics cannot be counted as soldiers".

As a result, just in New Guinea, after the U.S. military transported a hundred times more materials a day than the Japanese army, the Japanese army commander Yamashita Fengwen found that the battle could not continue.

He has been using the ammunition reserves on the island to fight. Seeing that the ammunition reserves are getting smaller and smaller, the various plans he has drawn up instantly become a dead letter.

After two more days of fighting according to the original combat plan, the large-caliber artillery in his hand will become scrap metal due to the lack of shells.

The few chariot units are now also running out of fuel supplies due to lack of spare parts to repair, and can no longer be used as a counterattack assault force.

It can be said that: today's Yamashita Fengwen, only light infantry can continue to fight, and the Japanese army on the island of New Guinea is basically holding on and waiting to die.

The current transportation situation of the Japanese army is basically like this: as soon as a shipment of food arrives, it will be divided up by the various Japanese troops waiting for supplies. The food reserves on the islands are still decreasing at a slow rate, and there is no way for Yamashita Fengwen.

Similarly, after a ship of ammunition arrives, it will be quickly distributed due to the urgent shortage of the front line, and it is impossible to keep a part of it as a reserve.

Under such circumstances, the Japanese Navy was ordered in danger, and the combined fleet was dispatched again to start looking for new opportunities.

On the other side, the US Navy is firmly seated in the Diaoyutai. The aircraft carrier fleet commanded by Halsey is backed by Australia and supported by a large number of transport ships in the United States. It can be said to be as stable as Mount Tai.

Although the U.S. Army suffered a lot of losses, its offensive momentum was very good, and it was gradually expanding its landing field to compress the Japanese army from the plains.

Such a step-by-step approach is what the United States hopes to happen most. As long as nothing changes, the gap between the two sides will become wider and wider as time goes on.

"It's impossible to count on the army..." Yamamoto fifty-six stood on the side of the ship, looking at the calm sea, his heart was very heavy.

"Yes, there is no way. The material consumption of Fengwen under the mountain is too high, and we have no way to meet his requirements." The adjutant standing behind him explained.

Yamashita Fengwen requested that the total supply be at least 5 times higher than the current situation, but this 5 times is too difficult to achieve.

The supply level of more than 20,000 tons is the amount of supply that Japan can provide in the Philippines and China, but it is simply not possible in New Guinea.

So Yamashita Fengwen lion opened his mouth, and the Japanese Navy could only bite the bullet and choose the so-called plan B of the base camp.

"How can those material requirements be met? Is he going to open another Southeast Asian battlefield in New Guinea?" Sanben snorted coldly, expressing his dissatisfaction.

The navy has made every effort to help the army transport troops, but after all, the conditions are very limited, and they cannot meet the requirements of Yamashita Fengwen.

"We have deployed 15 destroyers to help the army transport troops and evacuated the wounded. But it's still not enough, they need more ships." Yamamoto's adjutant reported.

"It's also fortunate that we bought a large number of destroyers from the Germans, otherwise we wouldn't even have a place to dispatch these ships! Damn it!" Yamamoto continued to complain while looking at the sea.

These old destroyers were of little use, and they were far from the Japanese Navy's requirements for destroyers.

The destroyers used by the Japanese Navy are all used as lightning strike ships. There are too few ships designed as multi-functional destroyers~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Those outdated destroyers with weak firepower, general air defense, and ordinary anti-submarines have many problems in transportation. Not a small advantage.

Anyway, I don’t feel bad about the loss, and the speed is also very fast, and it will not be easily caught by others-a lot better than the transport ship, and it can carry a lot more materials than the destroyer used by Japan itself...

As a result, all the old-fashioned destroyers that Germany had bought back from Germany, and that Germany hoped that Japan would use for anti-submarine use, all became the "Tokyo Express" responsible for transportation.

"Those destroyers are really good for transportation, and they have effectively increased the amount of material transported... But Yamashita asked for too much. It's not that our transportation capacity is insufficient, but the total number of things in stock can't meet his requirements." The adjutant explained the materials. Reasons for insufficient shipments.

In fact, the ships of the Japanese army are sufficient, but the materials hoarded in Malaya cannot withstand such a level of consumption.

The Japanese side still has to build a defense line in Malaya, and the troops there are also increasing, so it really can't draw much materials to supply New Guinea to fight.

"The battle for New Guinea, whether it's a naval battle or a land battle, it seems that we can only resign..." Looking at the calm sea, Yamamoto said again.

He is now repeatedly muttering about the upcoming naval battle, which shows that the Japanese marshal does not have much confidence in his heart now that he can win this war.

I don't know if he would have some small regrets in his heart for his famous sneak attack on Pearl Harbor. If it wasn't for his triumph in that battle, the Japanese Empire would not be so embarrassed now.
