Anti-Japanese blood sacrifice mountains and rivers

Chapter 836 Strategic turning point

Neiji Okamura sat in the command post of Kakuyama Fortress, looking at the unfocused artillery fire all over the sky. The Chinese army used such extravagant artillery fire, as if there were endless shells. The artillery fire made it impossible for the reinforcements to go up, and all the connections in the position have basically been cut off. Okamura Ningji is an expert in offense, but in terms of defense, Okamura Ningji is far inferior to Gao Fei. It can be said that the Japanese Army University trained The students must have the only offensive, in other words they do not know how to defend, do not know how to defend. |[-] Literature

Although Okamura Ningji imitated Gao Fei and dug Gao Fei's trench in Nanchang, he was able to withstand the onslaught of the Chinese army with just one trench, especially after such a violent artillery fire like a storm. The thunder of the army, the artillery preparations did not have any key areas, which also proved that the attack that the Chinese army was about to launch was comprehensive. No focus was equivalent to a focus everywhere. Neiji Okamura no longer had any reserve team in his hands. Prince Ren went to Vladivostok in the Far East to mobilize reinforcements for himself, but there was no news of these reinforcements. In the end, the news he got came from the Chinese army. Prince Zairen’s plane was intercepted over Shenyang, and was shot down outside Shanhaiguan after passing over Jinzhou. In the end, even the wreckage of the crash was removed by the Chinese army.

In this regard, Okamura Ningji can be said to be crying without tears, because about three divisions of the Kwantung Army are now concentrated in Jinzhou to organize defenses, and there is only one division and four divisions of the Manchukuo Army between Fengtian and Xinjing. It is no exaggeration to describe the troops of the division as stretched. Okamura Ningji's reserve team only has three infantry brigades. Fortunately, he is on the defensive side, and the terrain of Shanhaiguan is dangerous, and the battlefield capacity is extremely small. Even if the Chinese army has a hundred Wan Dajun can only use refueling tactics, so he will have enough time to wait for reinforcements from the Far East.

Neiji Okamura believed that if Yoshijiro Umezu rushed to help in time, it would only take five days for the troops to arrive at Shanhaiguan from Vladivostok. Because Neiji Okamura did not calculate the time needed for Umezu Yoshijiro to gather reinforcements and redeploy for him. The most important thing is that the Kwantung Army headquarters to reinforce Shanhaiguan is the Seventh Front Army under the command of Sugiyama Yuan. The main force of the Seventh Front Army is partly The No.11 Army, which was annihilated in Nanjing, was reorganized, and the commander was appointed as General Yukio Kasahara. The troops were transferred here, and the degree of integration was extremely poor, let alone effective cooperation.

And the troops under the jurisdiction of the No. 11 Army are only the Eighth Division and the Ninth Division, which are independently mixed into the No. 20 Second Brigade and the No. 80 Eighth Brigade?Anti-Japanese Blood Sacrifice Mountains and Rivers 836

相比板西一良中将指挥的新设No.20军,所部辖No.60四师团、No.60八师团、第一一六师团,独立混成No.80一旅团、独立混成82旅团、独立混成86旅团、独立混成87旅团,加强野战重炮第十旅团的庞大编制来说,笠原幸雄大将的No.11军根本就是一个后娘养的孩子。

The No.11 Army and the No.20 Army jointly formed the Seventh Front Army. The Front Army did directly control the 17nd Division, and the No.83 Brigade, the 84rd Brigade, the 85th Brigade, and the 11th Brigade Regiments, the Fifth Independent Infantry Brigade, the Seventh Independent Infantry Brigade, the No.12 Independent Infantry Brigade, and the No.11 Independent Infantry Brigade. If Xingxiong could have a good time, he would have seen a ghost. What's more, the deployment of troops and weapons and equipment was resisted by many division heads. Various excuses and reasons kept coming up. Okamura Ningji was eagerly waiting for Sugiyama Moto's reinforcements.

And Prince Zain left a big mess for Umezu Yoshijiro. It can be said that everyone's life is very difficult now, and Umezu Yoshijiro can only bite the bullet and implement the mess left by Prince Zain. Wipe yourself, Umezu Yoshijiro was in a good mood and saw a ghost, and the transfer and reorganization of troops did not happen overnight. Veterans in the current Japanese army only account for about 20.00% of the total. This is an extremely dangerous standard, indicating that this army The troops are basically newly formed troops, and the soldiers are all from the reserves of the third enlistment. After three months of military training, they are pulled into the battlefield. The shortage of manpower and materials makes Umezu Yoshijiro helpless.

Perhaps the Imperial Army's battle lines are stretched too far?Perhaps Ishihara Wanji was right. The ever-expanding ambitions and the combat power that did not match the national strength would eventually lead to the complete defeat of the empire. Umezu Yoshijiro hesitated again and again, and decided to report the real situation in the Far East to the wartime headquarters and the General Staff Headquarters. His Majesty the Emperor also knew it was time. Although doing so would probably end his military career by himself, Umezu Yoshijiro really felt physically and mentally exhausted, and the joy of winning the power struggle with Sugiyama Moto had long been recorded. Diluted by Prince Ren's death.

War is not a map operation, and there is bound to be a huge gap between ideals and reality. Umezu Yoshijiro finally decided to invest in the [-]th Division, [-]th Division, and [-]rd Division in the defense of Jinzhou to reinforce Shanhaiguan. If Shanhaiguan falls, So can Jinzhou hold on?The result is obviously impossible.

After making the decision, Yoshijiro Umezu informed Neiji Okamura of the dispatch of the [-]th Division, the [-]th Division, and the [-]rd Division to reinforce Shanhaiguan in his own name. Buy him at least three months.

Okamura Ningji, who was looking forward to the reinforcements, waited for the reinforcements to be the [-]th Division, [-]th Division, and [-]rd Division of Jinzhou Solid Defense?Umezu Yoshijiro didn't mention Sugiyama Moto's Seventh Front Army in his telegram?Neiji Okamura put the telegram on the table with a wry smile, asking for three months?

Umezu-kun!How do you let me stick to it for three months?The [-]th Division, the [-]th Division, and the [-]rd Division were all expanded from the garrison brigade. The divisions belonged not to the infantry wing, but to the infantry brigade. Each division consists of seven infantry brigades, attached to a field artillery brigade. What kind of division is this?The strength of the army is only higher than that of the independent mixed brigade, and even less than that of the independent infantry brigade. How can Umezu Yoshijiro dispatch such reinforcements to make himself stand firm?
