Take Taobao to fight against Japan

But this time sending troops to the Far East to attack the Soviet Union, such a major military operation, is it extraordinary?

If one is not done well, one will lose one's family and life, and the Japanese Empire will directly fall into unimaginable disaster and crisis.

Therefore, Yoshimoto Teiichi believed deeply in his heart that such a major military operation should and must obtain the approval of the base camp and His Majesty the Emperor, otherwise they would not be able to bear the blame regardless of victory or defeat.

However, Ishihara Wan'er did not waver in the slightest, his eyes flickered fiercely, and he said in a solemn and cold voice, "Mr. Yoshimoto, as the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, I have the right to launch a local war that concerns the interests and security of the empire. Could it be?" Isn't it?"

"This one……"

Seeing Ishihara Wanji's seriousness never before, Yoshimoto Teiichi was also frightened, and weakly argued: "But your Excellency, the significance of this war is very important. Once troops are sent to the Far East, it means a war against the Soviet Union!"

"What, now, are you still afraid of the Soviet Union? Are you still worried that we will repeat the mistakes of the Nomonkan Battle? No, I am not that idiot Umezu Yoshijiro!"

Ishihara stared coldly at Yoshimoto Zhenyi: "Mr. Yoshimoto, the Soviet Union has been beaten all over the place by the German allies in the European battlefield. They are already ants on the hot pot, and it is very difficult to barely survive. It's easy, how can they care about the Far East now?"

"..."

Yoshimoto Teiichi didn't know how to answer the conversation. He was naturally very clear about the cause and effect, and naturally knew how weak the Soviet Far East was.

However, he still did not have enough confidence and courage to launch an attack on the Soviet Union without asking for instructions and approval, and launching such a major military operation without authorization.

"Okay, Mr. Yoshimoto! This battle, I already have the certainty of victory. The Kwantung Army will definitely win the battle. It will take the entire Far East without any effort!

Don't worry, Mr. Gibbon, even if something goes wrong in the future, won't I still be there to support it? "

The corner of Ishihara Wan'er's mouth curled up slightly, and no matter how much shadow area Yoshimoto had in his heart, he solemnly ordered:

"Mr. Yoshimoto, issue a notice immediately, ordering all infantry divisions, independent mixed brigades, garrison troops, armored divisions, and air force commanders to come to the headquarters for a meeting at [-]:[-] tomorrow morning!"

"Hay!"

Yoshimoto Sadaichi nodded heavily. As a soldier, it is natural to obey orders. At this time, he can only keep his doubts and worries in his stomach.

? ? ...

On the morning of July 7, the Imperial Palace in Tokyo, Japan.

After receiving the summons, Hideki Tojo hurried to the Imperial Palace by car to see Hirohito.

"I see your Majesty!"

After kneeling and prostrating, Hideki Tojo asked softly and respectfully: "Your Majesty, have you made a decision yet?"

"Yes, I have made a decision."

Yu Ren looked calm, nodded and said: "It's just that there is a difference from the reinforcements discussed before."

"Your Majesty, there really can't be any less, 40 divisions is the bottom line, otherwise it is very likely to repeat the same mistakes!"

Hearing this, Hideki Tojo frowned immediately, and hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, we have suffered many losses, and we can no longer keep any chances for Yang Fan, the confidant of the empire, or not Increase the number of troops, or you have to increase the number of troops in place at once!

If there are too few troops, even if Okamura-kun is very capable, he may be powerless. "

Seeing Hideki Tojo's frowning anxious look, Hirohito showed a smile on his tense and serious face, and said with a happy smile: "Tojo-kun, what are you in a hurry for? When did I say that the reinforcements would be reduced?" Do you have any troops?"

"Nani?"

Hideki Tojo couldn't react immediately, he looked at Hirohito and said, "Your Majesty, what do you mean?"

Hirohito said with a smile: "Mr. Tojo, as you said, since you have decided to fight Yang Fan, the Empire of Japan must do its best, and it will never again commit the taboo of refueling tactics.

So after thinking about it, even 40 divisions may not be enough. Instead of temporarily deploying them at that time, it is better to send them in place at one time, and we can no longer give the Huaxia Expeditionary Army a chance to breathe! "

Hearing this, Hideki Tojo was immediately refreshed, and asked anxiously, "Your Majesty, what do you mean is how much additional troops should be sent?"

"50 divisions!"

Hirohito held out five fingers vigorously, and then said heavily: "In addition, I will send 10 additional soldiers to Thailand to stand by!"

"Nani? 50 divisions, plus 10 additional troops?"

Hearing this, Hideki Tojo was stunned and asked in astonishment: "Your Majesty, doesn't this mean that at least one million troops must be reinforced? Wouldn't that be too much?"

"Is this a lot? I don't think it's a lot at all. If it weren't for the terrain restrictions in Myanmar, it would be impossible to launch a large corps battle. I would like to send more combat troops!"

After a pause, Hirohito said with a fierce look in his eyes: "Myanmar has become the fulcrum of the Allied Army's Southeast Asian battlefield, and a large-scale industrial base has been built. Whether it is the Chinese Expeditionary Army or the Chinese domestic army, it can continuously acquire Massive supply of strategic materials.

In this way, the Huaxia Huben Army, the Huaxia National Army, and even the Anglo-American Allied Forces in the future can form a huge joint force in Burma, putting enormous pressure on the Great Japanese Empire.

Therefore, the Empire of Japan must not allow Myanmar to continue to operate like this, and must be wiped out as soon as possible! "

"Your Majesty's words are very true! However, I am a little worried!

If another million soldiers are mobilized, then domestic industrial production will inevitably be greatly affected, and the war potential of the empire will inevitably drop significantly..."

Hideki Tojo naturally hopes that the more soldiers the better, but he is very clear about the current situation in Japan. The number of adult men in the country has dropped to a dangerous level after the war.

At this moment, another 100 million strong men are transferred in one breath. Doesn't that mean that many factories have to significantly reduce production?

Chapter 1139

"No, no, no!"

The corners of Hirohito's mouth turned up slightly, and he said in an unpredictable way: "Mr. Tojo, you are thinking too much! How can I go out of my way to catch fish? This time I will increase the number of troops, and I will not use any local soldiers, and it will never affect domestic industrial production. .”

"Nani? How is this possible?"

Hideki Tojo was in a daze again. He really didn't understand what kind of plane the emperor was working on.Can you become a soldier after learning magic?

Hirohito smiled slightly and said: "Tojo-kun, as you said before, the Great Japanese Empire has expanded thousands of miles, with an unprecedentedly vast territory and a ruling population of 2.5 million.

Why worry about the issue of soldiers and industrial production labor?We can completely transfer people from these countries and regions to supplement our troops and labor force! "

Who was Hideki Tojo, and instantly understood what His Majesty the Emperor was planning, and quickly asked, "Your Majesty, do you mean to recruit the 100 million reinforcements from North Korea, Taiwan, and Manchuria?"

"That's right, that's exactly what it means."

Hirohito nodded and said: "North Korea and Taiwan have accepted the imperialization of the empire for nearly half a century, and the people in these two regions are already very loyal to the empire, and they can be recruited into the army and formed into infantry divisions.

It has been a full year since Manchukuo was included in the empire. Although it took a short time to accept the imperialization, judging from the current situation, although it is difficult to guarantee their loyalty to the empire, it can be used to supplement the shortage of domestic labor force. ! "

Hiroren is really not kidding himself. If we say that the province with the most traitors and puppet troops during the Anti-Japanese War, it may be Taiwan Province.

Taiwan was occupied by Dutch colonists at the end of Ming Dynasty, and later recovered by Zheng Chenggong, and returned to the territory of the motherland during the Kangxi period.

After the defeat of the Sino-Japanese Qing army in Sino-Japanese War, the decadent Qing government ceded Taiwan to Japan.

But the people of Taiwan at that time did not accept this reality. The soldiers and civilians of Taiwan fought bravely with the Japanese army, and even disabled a guard division of the Japanese army. brutally suppressed.

After the Japanese imperialists occupied Taiwan, they began to enslave education in Taiwan. The older generation of Taiwanese only recognized China, so the Japanese militarists began to instill militaristic ideas in the children at that time, asking them to be loyal to the emperor.

After the outbreak of the all-out war of resistance, this kind of education in Japan got a certain degree of repercussions.In fact, as early as the July [-]th Incident, the Japanese army began to recruit soldiers in Taiwan.

In 1942, Japan, which was short of soldiers, began to recruit "volunteers" in Taiwan in order to alleviate the shortage of soldiers. More than 42 Taiwanese voluntarily signed up as Japanese soldiers, but only 500 were admitted at that time.

According to statistics, until Japan surrendered, a total of more than 20 Taiwanese joined the Japanese army to participate in the battle. These people were mainly sent to the Pacific battlefield and were an important armed force of Japanese fascists.

At the end of World War II, in order to prevent the US military from landing on Taiwan, the Japanese army also urgently trained 30 Taiwanese soldiers.

After Japan surrendered, most of the Taiwanese Japanese soldiers stayed on the island, but a small number of Taiwanese Japanese soldiers swore to serve Japan. After the national army took over Taiwan, these "Japanese troops" hid in the mountains and fought guerrillas with the national army.

It was not until 1974 that the last "Japanese army" Nakamura Teruo announced his surrender in Indonesia.

"What Your Majesty said is very true. If all the reserve troops from North Korea and Taiwan are recruited, 50 divisions and 100 million people are indeed more than enough."

Hideki Tojo pondered: "It's just that the tactical quality and fighting will of these soldiers are simply not comparable to those of the Imperial Japanese Army and local soldiers.

Especially in the Burmese battlefield, they are not enough to confront the Huaxia Expeditionary Army, especially the Huben Expeditionary Army head-on! "

"Although their combat effectiveness is far inferior to the imperial warriors, they are still capable of serving as cannon fodder troops."

The corner of Hirohito's mouth twitched slightly, and he continued, "Of course, I won't transfer all the 100 million troops to Burma to serve as cannon fodder troops, 20 of them will be enough!"

Hideki Tojo suddenly understood, and quickly asked: "Your Majesty, you mean to send the remaining 80 to China to replace the Imperial Army?"

Hirohito nodded, "Well, about 25 Imperial Army soldiers can be replaced in various battlefields in China. The remaining 55 people can be used for the field divisions of the Kwantung Army!"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Hideki Tojo finally understood what the emperor was planning, and it turned out that he was planning against that annoying guy Ishihara Wanji again.

For Ishihara Waner, Tojo Hideki would naturally not have a good impression of the bastard who bluntly called himself "the first class soldier".

At this time, he naturally hit it off with Hirohito's "brilliant move", and he agreed with both hands and feet.

In order to strengthen Hirohito's determination, Hideki Tojo also lost the opportunity to make up the knife: "According to intelligence, due to the increasing military pressure from the German army, the Soviet government, which suffered heavy casualties, had to continue to transfer troops from the Far East to Europe. battlefield.

The combined strength of the remaining Soviet troops in the Far East may be 70 million at most! "

"No, the latest information is that the Soviet Union's troops in the Far East are less than 50 people!"

Hirohito nodded and said: "The military pressure on the Far East region of the Empire of Japan has been greatly reduced, and there is absolutely no need for the Kwantung Army to maintain a large group of 100 million troops!"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Hideki Tojo couldn't help but continued to praise like crazy.

The more Hirohito said, the more he felt that he made sense, and then he said: "Not only that, this time the Imperial Burma Expeditionary Army must not only have an absolute advantage in military strength, but also have an overwhelming advantage in technology and equipment, so that it can form an important role against the Chinese Expeditionary Army. Absolute crushing advantage.

We can't repeat the same mistakes again, and we can't let the warriors of the empire die in vain. In the end, we can only launch the long live charge with flesh and blood! "

Having heard Hirohito's implication, Hideki Tojo couldn't help jumping up and down, and asked softly with bright eyes: "So, what do you mean, Your Majesty?"

Hirohito looked at Hideki Tojo, and said with a smile: "Mr. Tojo, you are a smart man, don't you know what I mean? Didn't you receive relevant information about the Kwantung Army from the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Hideki Tojo grinned badly, and no longer concealed the ecstasy in his heart, and said: "I have indeed received the relevant information. Ishihara-kun has detained a large number of tanks and chariots behind the back of the base camp. At present, he has formed a full four armored divisions, all kinds of tanks There are as many as 4 chariots!

At the same time, the Kwantung Army was also equipped with more than 1500 combat aircraft, enough to equip two flying divisions!

Your Majesty, this Shi Yuan-kun is really capable of tossing around! "

In the end, Hideki Tojo's face was about to die of laughter, it was just like the rhythm of beating local tyrants and dividing the fields, so it was really not too pleasant to slaughter such a big fat sheep.

Chapter 1140

"Yoxi, that's exactly the case. This Ishihara Waner is so capable of tossing around, he dared to hide so much technical equipment from me!"

Hirohito was also overjoyed, and said with a smile: "The Soviet Far East Front Army has dropped by 50 people, and its technical equipment such as tanks, aircraft, and large-caliber artillery is also depleted.

Obviously, the Soviet Army no longer cares about the Far East, and the Kwantung Army will not have much military pressure in the short term. Therefore, there is no need for such a huge armored group and flying group to stay in the Kwantung Army. They can be transferred to the Burmese battlefield and all planned Send troops to Burma. "

After a pause, Hiroren gritted his teeth and said, "This time, the Great Sun Empire must use the fastest and most ruthless attack to completely annihilate the Chinese Expeditionary Army, and let the damned Chinese people know how powerful the Great Japanese Imperial Army is!"

"His Majesty the Emperor is wise! The Imperial Army of the Great Sun Empire will surely win!"

Hideki Tojo nodded heavily, and he was so excited that he almost flew into the sky.

Japanese Kwantung Army Command.

"The exciting moment is finally here!"

Ishihara Waner glanced down at his watch. It was 5 minutes before the meeting time, and it was time to go to the meeting room to announce the combat order.

Boom, boom, but at this moment, Yoshimoto Sadaichi walked in quickly with a dark face.

"Jimoto-kun, you are here!"

Ishihara Wanji thought that Yoshimoto Teiichi was here to urge him to go to the meeting room, so he stood up immediately and started to leave.

"Your Excellency, the matter has changed! The base camp calls urgently!"

However, at this time, Yoshimoto Teiichi took out a freshly released telegram from the base camp.

"Nani?"

Ishihara Waner was taken aback for a moment, then reached out to take the telegram and read it.

"The Kwantung Army cut its troops by 40, downsizing to 60? All the main divisions of the Kwantung Army were assigned to the Burmese army? Even all the armored troops and combat aircraft were transferred?"

"Then assign the 20 new divisions to be formed in North Korea and Taiwan to the Kwantung Army?"

"Baga! How unreasonable! A group of short-sighted idiots!"

After reading the telegram at ten lines at a glance, Ishihara Waner's whole body immediately exploded, his heart thumped, his blood pressure soared rapidly, and there was a throbbing pain deep in his heart, which instantly made Ishihara Waner's forehead drip with cold sweat.

The elite veteran divisions with numbers less than 20 had already been transferred away before, which directly reduced the combat effectiveness of the Kwantung Army and disrupted their own military plans.

Now it's hard to save such a small amount of property through insignificant development, and encountered such a good fighter, but a telegram from the base camp directly emptied all the property?

This is even more ruthless than going back to the hard rhythm before liberation!

Next door to Mary, is this still a human thing?
