Special Forces of Crossing: Cloud's Anti-Japanese

Chapter 2548 For
Geng Zebao was on the phone with Zhang Zizhong when he received Larison's telegram, reporting the latest battle situation to him.In Zhang Zizhong’s view, the Japanese’s victory over the Italians was no surprise. After entering the Soviet-Russian battlefield, the Supreme Command provided the Expeditionary Command with specific information on the Axis forces on the Soviet-Russian battlefield through Fox Tong’s overseas branch.Benefiting from the fact that both Langya and Hutong are active in Europe, the information on the Axis forces provided by Hutong's overseas branch is still very detailed.It was based on this information that Zhang Zizhong had a certain understanding of the Axis forces on the Soviet-Russian battlefield, and according to his instructions, his staff members classified the Axis forces according to their combat power, and divided them into A, A, and A. B, C three grades.Among them, the Italian Sixth Infantry Division ranks in the lowest C-level.

After hearing Geng Zebao's arrangement, Zhang Zizhong first affirmed that this was "really an opportunity", and then he reminded Geng Zebao to be careful of the German counterattack, and he must not let the Japanese Peace Army fall into it and cause the entire army to be wiped out-"We don't care about the life and death of the Japanese. However, the impact on the morale of the army must be considered. Before the German army reveals its full strength, the coalition army still has meaning. You tell Suki Dalang that as long as they work hard, we can consider suggesting to the Supreme Command to cancel their battle After the trial. Moreover, we can consider providing them with more sources of troops.” Because the resistance of the Japanese army in the domestic battlefield became weaker and weaker, and the determination to die was weaker and weaker, the problem of more and more prisoners appeared.After China actually became the leader of the Allied Forces, Western countries have increased their attention to China.The Supreme Command considers that nine out of ten of the Japanese soldiers on the battlefield in China are "newcomers" who have just been transferred from the Japanese mainland (there are also some veterans who have retired long ago but are still in the reserve service), and their hands may not be contaminated with Chinese weapons. Human blood or the crimes committed are still minor, but also for the sake of the country's image, it is necessary to modify the treatment of prisoners of war.Of course, it is impossible for the Chinese government to raise these Japanese prisoners of war with vain rice and flour for nothing, so most of these Japanese prisoners of war were sent to places such as the Sichuan-Tibet Railway Engineering Department to do hard labor to earn rations. The factories and enterprises of the technicians were "bought", and the rest were handed over to the Japanese Anti-War Alliance.Just the day before yesterday, Zhang Zizhong had a call with Ryoko Takahashi, the chairman of the Anti-War Alliance. On the one hand, Ryoko Takahashi inquired about the situation of the Japanese Peace Army, and at the same time suggested that the Anti-War Alliance could provide more soldiers if the war required it.It is precisely because of Takahashi Yoshiko's guarantee that Zhang Zizhong has the confidence to say the words of replenishing the Japanese peace army.

The contest between the Axis retinue army and the coalition army can actually be regarded as the German army and the Soviet army testing each other. Manstein, Zhang Zizhong, and Timoshenko also need to use this method to gain more control over the battlefield and The specific situation of the enemy army.

Behind Livani's Italian 11th Infantry Division came the Hungarian No. [-] Infantry Division and the Polish [-]th Armored Division.Like the Hungarians, Poles, and Italians, they played soy sauce on the Soviet-Russian battlefield.While Livani was ambitiously launching an attack on the Japanese Peace Army, the Hungarians and Poles were lazily carrying out civil engineering work in accordance with Manstein's instructions.The Italians rushed to the unnamed high ground smoothly. The Hungarians and Poles probably thought that the war could not extend to them, so they were even less active in their work.Then, when the Italians were retreating like a tide and the Japanese were chasing after them, the Hungarians and Poles were stunned for a long time, and then they shouted in unison, scrambling to join the ranks of fleeing.

The defeat of the Italian [-]th Infantry Division turned into a major defeat of the Axis forces. All this happened within half an hour from the beginning, so when Manstein received the report, the situation was irreparable.Hungarians, Poles, and Czechoslovakians called one after another, asking for assistance from Manstein. Manstein watched as his staff officers planted red and blue flags representing the troops of the enemy and us on the sand table in front of him. His face was an abnormal red. "Why is this happening? Your Sixth Infantry Division is stronger than the Japanese in terms of weaponry and military strength. Why? I need an explanation!" Manstein asked Livani's phone call, and asked sharply on the phone.

Liwani saw the opportunity quickly, and the performance of the armored vehicle he was riding in was quite good, so he was out of danger at this time.The Italians were still in shock. At this time, Manstein made this call, and Livani considered the punishment he would suffer after losing the war.In desperation, he uttered nonsense, claiming that he was ambushed by the Chinese Expeditionary Force: "Despicable Chinese, they put on Japanese clothes to confuse us. Your Excellency, now the elite of the empire must appear. We are not the opponents of the Chinese."

Liwani didn't know, he just wanted to shirk his responsibility and avoid punishment, but thus confused Manstein's judgment.Recently, Chen Chong, who was newly promoted to the supreme commander of the aviation unit of the Far East Expeditionary Force, has strengthened the control of air supremacy on the battlefield.This directly caused Manstein to be unable to grasp the latest action information of the Chinese and Soviet troops in the first place.Liwani provided such information at this time, and Manstein thought that the Central Soviet Army was preparing to take the initiative to attack.Since the retinue of the Axis was completely untrustworthy, Manstein had no choice but to send the direct descendants of Army Group A to the front line, hoping to stabilize the morale of the retinue and avoid the collapse of the entire war situation.At the same time, he called Guderian and asked the other party to speed up the march so that he could appear on the battlefield when the decisive battle began.

When Guderian received this telegram, he was doing deduction with a group of staff around him on a military map.

As the founder of Blitz, Guderian has always believed that offense is the best defense, so he has a unique understanding of the role that the Second Armored Group will play in the Battle of Osa.Manstein hoped to accumulate enough troops on the front, and then take advantage of the German tanks to rush down.In this regard, Guderian has his own opinion: "I think our army has enough strength on the frontal battlefield, and our task is to find another way to give the Chinese a surprise blow." Before the deduction started, he said so to The subordinates explained their tactical thinking.Therefore, during the deduction process, he and his men wholeheartedly wanted to find another passage, so that they could enter the battlefield unexpectedly.

Manstein's telegram and the latest battle report were delivered at about the same time, and Guderian felt that the Second Panzer Army could no longer delay. "Let's start from here. What you need to do now is to verify the terrain of this area as soon as possible and formulate a detailed attack plan," Manstein pressed heavily on a place marked "Xhosa" on the map. Lower the finger, while beckoning to the hands.
