Bright sword, I have a red police base car

As the Red Police troops withdrew from their bases across the board, radio communications in the Japanese-occupied areas of Shanxi were also restored.

Only when Yoshio Shinozuka received communications from various places did he know that the Chinese army had withdrawn across the board.

As the Japanese scouts who checked the phone lines returned, the news that the fifth brigade headquarters and its main force had been eliminated was also conveyed to Taiyuan.

Looking at the reports of troop casualties and missing persons coming from all over Shanxi, Yoshio Shinozuka suddenly felt very tired and wanted to go home and miss his mother.

"Report to the base camp and completely disengage from this Ping'an County security group. Before a breakthrough in combat effectiveness is achieved, I do not recommend fighting with this unit anymore."

Regarding the combat situation with the Red Police Force, Yoshio Shinozuka is pessimistic about the current combat effectiveness of the Japanese army.

This is not because they are afraid of being beaten by the Red Police Force, but after several battles with the Red Police Force, the Japanese army has made it very clear that the gap between the combat effectiveness of this unit and the Japanese Army is quite large.

If Japan does not achieve a breakthrough in combat effectiveness, then Japan has no possibility of winning in a local war.

Of course, as an industrial country, Japan is confident that it can eliminate the Red Police Force if it uses the power of the whole country, but the Red Police Force is just a regiment!
Although this so-called regiment is a little larger and has a stronger combat effectiveness, it is still just a regiment after all.

A country mobilizes the whole country to fight a decisive battle with a regiment. Regardless of whether it is embarrassing or not, the effort and benefit are not proportional at all!

Therefore, the little devil can only seek breakthroughs in combat effectiveness.

After being conveyed through the base camp, Yoshio Shinozuka's proposal has been submitted to the Japanese Cabinet and has attracted great attention from the Japanese Army Ministry.

As a result, a new equipment development plan for the Japanese Army from individual light weapons to tanks and armored vehicles to fighter jets was immediately released and submitted to the cabinet meeting.

This plan includes Type [-] submachine guns, new Japanese semi-automatic rifles, heavy tanks, large-caliber artillery, Zero fighters, and a large amount of air defense and anti-tank equipment.

In addition, advanced equipment such as mg series general-purpose machine guns, No. 4 tanks, Stuka dive bombers, and 88mm anti-aircraft guns were introduced to Germany.

If this plan is implemented, then based on paper data, the Japanese army will have a combat effectiveness close to that of the German army.

And as an ally, Japan can also purchase a large amount of advanced production equipment from Germany.

This plan is good, but there is still a long way to go before it can be truly implemented.

At the ongoing cabinet meeting, the Japanese Army had just proposed its plan, but it was not surprising that it was opposed by the Navy.

Japan's land and sea battle is no longer a one-day battle. The navy actually knows that the implementation of this plan will greatly improve the combat strength of the Japanese army.

However, Japan is a small island country with only so many resources. If the army implements this plan, it will inevitably reduce the navy's development resources.

This is absolutely intolerable to the Japanese Navy!

Therefore, in order to protect the interests of its own service, the Navy could only unscrupulously object to the Japanese Army's development plan.

The reason for the objection is very simple: it costs money!

After 1939, Japan faced serious economic problems.

And as time goes by, due to excessive printing by an unnamed owner of the Red Alert Base in Dagushan, the purchasing power of the Japanese yen in the world is gradually decreasing.

This is equivalent to sucking blood from the country of Japan.

Fortunately, it has not been very long. Internationally, the fluctuations of the yen are still within Japan's acceptable range, so the little devil has not noticed that the problem is wrong.

However, with Japan's current economic strength, thoroughly implementing this development plan will definitely be a strain on Japan's domestic economy at this stage.

Regarding the navy's denial, the Japanese army will definitely use the Red Police Force as an example and argue based on recent battles.

"If we do not improve our combat effectiveness, the interests we have achieved in China will be further threatened by this Chinese army! It will even gradually decrease! This Ping'an County security group can point its sword at Taiyuan today and attack tomorrow Datong! Once the safety of these major resource producing areas cannot be ensured, the development of your navy will also be affected!"

The Japanese Army started a long speech on the Japanese and began to demonstrate the necessity of this development plan by elaborating on the threat of the Red Police Force.

But in the eyes of the Japanese Navy, what the Army said was complete nonsense!
They are all making excuses for their military failures!

Then the senior officials of the Navy Department sarcastically said: "When did our Japanese soldiers become frightened by the Chinese army? Can a Chinese regiment-level unit embarrass you so much? I think your Army Red Deer lacks bushido." Spirit! 10,000+ troops can be annihilated by the Chinese in one fell swoop. I see that your army doesn’t have any development plan at all. It directly gives half of your resources to our navy. If we dispatch two divisions of the Marine Corps, we can directly destroy this army. Ping'an County security team is wiped out!"

These words of the Japanese Navy instantly triggered the emotions of the top Japanese Army officials at the cabinet meeting.

The two sides immediately started a war of words at the meeting, and the quarrel was inextricable. The initial fierce quarrel evolved into cordial greetings from the top brass of the Japanese army and navy to each other's female relatives.

If this scene was paired with two commentators, it would definitely be very entertaining and a major feature of the Japanese military.

Just after the Japanese Navy threw the tea cup at the Army and the Japanese Army raised the bench, the Japanese Army finally stopped the quarrel between the two sides.

"Baga! Stop arguing! Fujita-kun, put down the chair in your hands! This is a cabinet meeting, how can you behave like this?!"

Guizi Tianchu has always regarded himself as a civilized person and a person of status, but now he was forced to beat Baga angrily in public, which shows how intense the previous scene was.

With the intervention of the Japanese Army, the cabinet meeting finally returned to calm. Regarding the development plan provided by the Japanese Army, the Japanese Army said that some of its contents could be considered.

But this immediately triggered a strong response from the Japanese Navy.Then the Japanese Army began to launch a strong counterattack against the Navy.

Seeing that the current scene was about to return to its previous state, Guizi Tianchu could only speak out again and made a decision directly.

"Okay! Shut up! As for the Army's proposal, the proposals regarding submachine guns, semi-automatic rifles, anti-aircraft guns and Zero fighters were passed directly. As for the rest of the content, the Navy did not say that it could send two divisions of Marines. Do you want to destroy this force? In that case, how about a bet between the two of you, with me as the witness?" Jaap Tianchu asked the army and navy.

Upon hearing Tianlocust's proposal, the top brass of the Japanese army and navy looked at each other, and then the two ministers respectively said: "Okay!"

Therefore, Guizi Tianchu continued: "In this case, the Navy sends two divisions to attack the Ping'an County Security Group. If the Navy wins, then one-third of the Army's resources in the next three years will be transferred to the Navy; if the Navy If it fails, how about proceeding with the development plan submitted by the Army in full?”

The ministers of Japan's army and navy nodded in agreement upon hearing this, and then both parties signed the gambling agreement under the watchful eyes of Tian Locust.

The Navy also started relevant preparations after signing the agreement.

The first thing you need to know is the information about the Red Police Force.

After the gambling agreement was signed, the possibility of obtaining this information from the army was basically zero, so the Japanese Navy chose to obtain information about the Red Police Force from the intelligence department.

After receiving the battle reports of several battles between the Red Police Force and the Japanese Army, the Japanese Navy became more and more frightened. If there were online games during this period, it is estimated that the Japanese Minister of the Navy would open his mouth and say: "Is this a fucking cheat?"

As these battles were carefully watched by the Japanese Naval Staff, gasps of air could be heard from time to time in the Naval Operations Command.

Super individual soldier qualities, advanced individual automatic weapons, heavy tanks, large-caliber long-range artillery, radio communication shielding technology, advanced fighter planes, ridiculously powerful incendiary bombs, etc...

Looking at the labels set by the intelligence agency on this Ping'an County security group, the Japanese navy's expressions ranged from shock to numbness to confusion.

Since Japan's intelligence department does not belong to the military, their intelligence is relatively more neutral and objective and will not be affected too much by the Japanese army.

So for such a Chinese army, they really can't figure out where this Ping'an County security group came from.

But now the origin of the Red Police Force is no longer important to the Japanese Navy. How to eliminate this force is what the Japanese Navy needs to consider.

For the navy, their most powerful advantage is the large number of aviation and large-caliber naval guns carried by surface combat ships. However, the red police force is located in Shanxi, and the powerful surface ship force cannot play any role in this.

After all, Shanxi is far away from the sea, and the little devil can't let the warships move on land, right?
The naval guns can no longer be used, but the Zero fighters equipped by the naval aviation can still be used through ground airports.

The Navy's opposition to the Army's previous proposal to strengthen the production capacity of Zero fighters and increase the number of Zero fighter equipment for the Army Aviation was not fierce.

According to the design requirements, the production price of the Zero combat power is very cheap, and the expansion of the production capacity of the Zero fighter is also very beneficial to the navy.

That’s why Jaizi Tianlu directly agreed to submachine guns, semi-automatic rifles, and Zero combat capabilities.

These can be used by the army and navy!
Subsequently, the Japanese Navy reorganized its own Marine Corps and organized a two-division organization.

In order to prevent capsizing in the gutter of the Red Police Force, the Little Japanese Navy also carried out what they considered to be "inhumane" reinforcements to these two divisions.

Originally, among the Japanese Army's Type A divisions, one division had two infantry brigades under its jurisdiction, plus one regiment each for infantry, cavalry, artillery, and baggage.Each infantry brigade has two infantry regiments, plus one infantry, cavalry, artillery, and baggage brigade.Including non-combatants, a division has more than 8000 men!
Compared with the Japanese Army's Type A division, the two divisions reorganized by the Japanese Navy chose to strengthen their organization.

Each division has two infantry brigades, one tank brigade, and one heavy artillery brigade, plus two regiments of troops, two baggage regiments, and one cavalry regiment.The original two infantry regiments in the infantry brigade were increased to three, and a certain number of anti-aircraft and anti-tank troops were strengthened in each regiment.

The number of the strengthened naval division, including non-combatants, has exceeded 5!

Zhang Shijie: This strengthening method looks familiar!
Of course, this strengthening method is not suitable for long-term maintenance, and is only a means to deal with extremely powerful opponents such as the Red Police Force.

After all, the gambling agreement stipulates that the Marine Corps will dispatch two divisions of ground troops. If we can't send additional troops, then I can always incorporate these troops into the division's establishment, right?

As for air power, the navy, which has more funding than the army, naturally has a sufficient number of aviation units.

With the aviation in the sky supporting the ground troops, the Japanese Navy suddenly felt confident that this battle would be foolproof!
So these two super divisions formed by the Navy were named the First Marine Division and the Second Marine Division respectively.

After completing the formation and strengthening of the troops, the Navy immediately began to prepare for the material supply of these two divisions.

After all, the preparation for this battle against the Red Alert Force is more like an ultra-long-distance assault operation for the Japanese Navy, and the material supplies of the large forces must keep up.

Different from the past, this time the Navy cannot rely on the Army's supply channels at all. After the gambling agreement exists, it would be good if the Army does not cause trouble for the Navy. It is simply wishful thinking to get supplies from the Army.

Now the little devil's naval force can only rely on themselves!
Moreover, it will be of great benefit to the Japanese Navy to prepare for a longer period of time.

This can not only improve the supply channels, but also build more airports on the front line so that the naval aviation unit can better support the front line during wartime.

And after seeing the power of submachine guns, Japan had already begun to develop hundreds of submachine guns, which were only officially put into service after February 1940, and the number of equipment was limited.

The Navy also hopes to use the Army's proposal to increase the production capacity of hundreds of submachine guns to equip its two divisions with a batch of submachine guns before the war.

This is purely a matter of using the Army's fault to make the Navy's meal.

Since the troops organized by the Japanese Navy are still in Japan at this stage, Zhang Shijie has no knowledge of the little devil's plan.

At this time, Zhang Shijie was taking Bai Shulei, Zhang Ning and others to look at the "new toy" he had just received. (End of chapter)
