The Rise of the Great Powers in the War of Resistance

)

Umezu Yoshijiro grabbed the collar of the little devil officer, and asked sharply. In his heart, Umezu Yoshijiro couldn't believe it was true.

Seeing the appearance of his commander, the little devil's chief of staff said helplessly: "Your Excellency, Commander! We have to think about it a little bit. Since the first heavy artillery brigade has been destroyed and it has become an established fact, we can only accept this reality. .”

The little devil's chief of staff, as his deputy, can only enlighten Umezu Yoshijiro at this time. [

It took a long time for Umezu Yoshijiro to let go of this poor little devil officer. The entire First Heavy Artillery Brigade was wiped out. Umezu Yoshijiro sat down on the chair.

Sitting on a chair and resting for a long time, it took at least ten minutes for Umezu Yoshijiro to recover. It can be seen that the destruction of the First Heavy Artillery Brigade has dealt a heavy blow to Umezu Yoshijiro.

After a little relief, Umezu Yoshijiro looked around at a large area of ​​little devils officers at all levels, as well as some little devils who were busy in the headquarters, Umezu Yoshijiro suddenly felt disheartened.

All of a sudden, Umezu Yoshijiro no longer had the ambitions he had before. This feeling, this thought, instantly flooded Umezu Yoshijiro's mind.

At this time, Umezu Yoshijiro thought in his heart that the No. 30 Sixth Army was under pressure. If his reinforcements could not arrive in time, not only Shenyang, but also the entire Kwantung Army would be extremely dangerous.

Umezu Yoshijiro thought that if the Kwantung Army were defeated by the No.30 Sixth Army, it would be a major loss to the entire empire.

Umezu Yoshijiro was rather pessimistic, looking at a huge map hanging in the headquarters, looking at the large areas of land occupied by Japan, especially Southeast Asia, almost all of Southeast Asia was in the hands of the Japanese army. The sea area was also controlled by the Japanese army.

Looking at the vast area occupied, and looking at the size of his own country, Japan's land area is completely disproportionate to the area it currently occupies or controls. Yoshijiro Umezu did not feel the slightest joy in his heart, and he was not happy because the Japanese army occupied such a large area.

On the contrary, Umezu Yoshijiro is more pessimistic and worried, worried that Japan will fall into the abyss of eternal doom. Suddenly, Umezu Yoshijiro remembered a Chinese saying, that is "a snake swallows an elephant without a heart." The high-level ambitions in Japan are too big. Japan is just a tiny place.

Frustrated, Umezu Yoshijiro didn't show any expression, and slowly asked the little devil's chief of staff, "Is our Great Japanese Empire too ambitious, and the common prosperity of Greater East Asia is a little unrealistic."

The little devil's chief of staff, after hearing Meizu Meijiro's words, was shocked for a long time and dared not answer. Such words are too rebellious. If they are passed back to China and His Majesty the Emperor knows, it will definitely not end well.

The next morning when the Little Devils Heavy Artillery Brigade was wiped out.

The 30 columns of the No.7 Sixth Group Army have successively recovered several large cities around Shenyang. At this time, the No.30 Sixth Group Army has a total of 7 columns, several 10 people, more than 1000 tanks, and nearly [-] armored vehicles. A large number of off-road vehicles and heavy artillery have reached the designated location.

The hundreds of thousands of troops of the No.30 Sixth Army have formed a huge encirclement circle, encircling Shenyang. The nearest unit of the No.30 Sixth Army is less than [-] kilometers away from Shenyang, and the farthest unit is not It will be more than fifty or sixty kilometers.

A huge encirclement circle has been formed, and the little devils in Shenyang and its surroundings have already "taken" their wings and cannot escape.

The little devil's reinforcements have exceeded 20, and they have already moved south from Changchun. Most of the troops are almost approaching Siping.

However, the little devil's hundreds of thousands of reinforcements have been firmly blocked by the 4th column and the independent division. Since yesterday, the blocking battle in Liulin town has been extremely fierce.

The little devil received the order to go south for reinforcements at all costs. Relying on the large number of people, the little devil desperately attacked the defense line of Liulin Town.

There were 6 infantry regiments in Liulin Town, plus an artillery regiment of an independent division. The soldiers stopped the little devils for almost 20 hours and wiped out [-] to [-] little devils. [

Among them, the vehicle howitzer artillery regiment of the independent division has carried out several violent shellings on the attacking team of the little devils. At present, the artillery regiment of the independent division has almost used up all its artillery shells, and is now retreating to Siping.

The six infantry regiments stationed at the defense line of Liulin Town were under great pressure in the face of so many little devils, and their own casualties were not small. The little devils seemed to be crazy, and they repeatedly charged the soldiers' defense line on a large scale regardless of the cost. .

Now, the soldiers in Liulin Town are fighting and retreating according to the instructions of their superiors. The soldiers suffered heavy casualties. In order to reduce the casualties, the soldiers are gradually retreating to Siping as required.

Siping.

A huge line of defense has been formed. In the past few days, the soldiers have built a large number of fortifications. Tens of thousands of people from the 4th column and the independent division have formed a huge line of defense that is [-] to [-] kilometers long in Siping and its surroundings. .

Many small highlands around Siping have been built a large number of fortifications by soldiers, and a large number of soldiers are on standby there, ready to stop the little devils.

Datong, No.30 Sixth Army Headquarters.

Today's headquarters is extremely busy. With the seven columns attacking Shenyang, hundreds of thousands of troops have entered the designated positions one after another. The battle is about to break out. In the headquarters, the soldiers are busy and working in an orderly manner.

In addition, the 4th Column and the Independent Division that prevented the little devil from going south also kept sending telegrams back and reporting the situation of the battle.

command hall.

Several senior leaders of the No.30 Sixth Army, Zhang Yunfei, Zuo Qingquan, Deng Wenping, Fang Zheng, Liu Dazhu, etc. were all present. Although the battle was about to start, everyone's expressions were relatively relaxed.

Everything on the front line was completely within everyone's expectations and under control.

"Commander-in-Chief, this time we have 7 columns and hundreds of thousands of troops to encircle and wipe out about [-] little devils in Shenyang. I think that within two days, we will end the battle."

Comrade Liu Dazhu, deputy commander-in-chief, was very optimistic and began to predict that the soldiers would be able to end the battle in about two days.

Comrade Zuo Qingquan also laughed, and said heartily: "Commander-in-Chief, my thoughts are similar to Comrade Dazhu's. There are only 7 little devils, and we dispatched [-] columns, which is completely overkill."

Hearing this, Zhang Yunfei also smiled slightly, "Comrades, it is no problem for us to encircle and wipe out the little devils in Shenyang, but now our 4th column and independent division are still under a lot of pressure."

Now, the main task of the 4th Column and the Independent Division is to stop the little devils from going south. The combined number of little devils and second devils blocked exceeds 30.

Fortunately, tens of thousands of the 20 little devils who went south for reinforcements have already been killed. There are still 10,000+ little devils left, which is about twice the total number of the fourth column and the independent division.

As for the 10,000+ second devil troops, they were directly ignored by everyone. The combat effectiveness of these second devil troops was a level lower than that of the little devils.

Speaking of the 4th Column and the Independent Division, Comrade Zuo Qingquan immediately remembered the telegrams sent not long ago, so Comrade Zuo Qingquan said a little puzzled: "Commander-in-Chief, both the 4th Column and the Independent Division have sent telegrams, The telegram said that among the little devils killed by the soldiers, there were many children and old people, is this really a bit strange?"

Comrade Zuo Qingquan has been dealing with the little devils for several years, and he has never encountered such a situation. He is a little puzzled and puzzled.

Hearing this, Zhang Yunfei laughed and said: "Old Zuo, there is nothing surprising about this. Little Japan is just a small country with limited military resources. In order to realize their so-called common prosperity of Greater East Asia, the total number of troops of the little devils has reached several million. Yes, the number of divisions to be established has reached more than 160, including quite a few independent mixed brigades and auxiliary infantry.[

How many people are there in Little Japan? According to our statistics, the total population of Little Japan is only about 7000 million, but in Japan, more than 800 million people have been mobilized to join the army. If the little devils expand the size of the army, they can only be recruited children and the elderly. "

What Zhang Yunfei said is absolutely correct. At this time, Japan has recruited a total of more than 800 million troops, of which more than 100 million were killed in battle, and the little devils wiped out by the No.30 Sixth Army accounted for almost half. There are more than 600 million troops.

The navy accounts for almost half of the little devil's troops of more than 600 million, reaching more than 240 million, followed by the Japanese army in Southeast Asia, with more than 200 million. In addition, the little devil's several front armies in China, such as the Central China front The front army, etc., plus the Kwantung Army of more than 70 (at this time, it was less than 60, and 30+ had been annihilated by the No.10,000 Sixth Army), and the little devil still had more than 100 million people in China.

More than one-tenth of the total population of Little Japan has been conscripted into the army. This ratio is absolutely terrifying.

At this time, China's population reached [-] to [-] million, but the armed forces of the whole of China, in terms of total number of people, may not be much different from little devils.

Hearing Zhang Yunfei's words, the top leaders of No.30's Sixth Army all gasped, thinking in their hearts, Little Japan is crazy, it's terrible.

It's really unsatisfactory!Such a small number of people, like crazy, are attacking and invading the surrounding countries. Even the mighty United States, the little devils are offended, and the people in power in Little Japan are really a bunch of lunatics.
