Chapter 22: The Square-inch Chaos

The classic training scenes were originally replaced by their own companions by the Japanese army. After anxiety and tension, the fighting atmosphere became excited and hyperactive, and then calmly and orderly, the recruits began to enjoy their battle process easily after overcoming the initial embarrassment. When the attack was deployed to certain links of the entire chain of troops through the mecha power, the defensive power quickly collapsed, like a winding

The dam was opened, and the flood rushed from the gap, and then the entire dam was shaken and collapsed. This kind of power was so great that the already riddled defense line had no power to fight back. The soldiers on the Japanese defense line were scared and shook. Some fled back, while others were at a loss. The former was knocked down mercilessly, while the latter was captured by the infantry immediately following him, and they became prisoners of the National Defense Forces in a confused manner.

There are many reasons for the collapse of the Japanese army, but in the final analysis there are two. First, the suddenness of the attack. The Japanese army did not expect that the National Defense Force would be able to enter the army's attack so quickly and effectively when it "hardly" dealt with its own attack; Second, the overwhelmingness of the attack. The Japanese army could not have thought that the Imperial Guard would use chariots to cooperate with the attack, nor did they expect that the overwhelming advantage of the revolutionary weapon such as the chariots would over the battlefield situation.

Rumors of poor adaptability, weak defense and low survival were shattered in front of iron-like facts, and the plain position they were located fully exerted the mobility and offensiveness of the chariots - this is almost the most ideal place of combat. Of course, the various Japanese mistakes in defense also laid their own failures. They did not build a small front and a large depth defense system, but instead placed most of the troops on the huge front of the defense. Once they were penetrated, they had no power to fight back; they did not dig wide and deep trenches and blockade ditches.

This is certainly because of insufficient time. But blindly superstitious about the underestimation of the ability of the trench to resist the infantry's obstacles and the underestimation of the combat vehicle's obstacles is the main reason for this consequence; they did not make targeted firepower arrangements based on the defense of the chariot. When rifle bullets and machine gun bullets hit the chariot as if they were tickling, when clumsy mountain cannons and field cannons cannot hit the chariot in motion at all, when the "meat bullet" offensive that had always been highly anticipated was ruthlessly crushed by the chariot support infantry, the chariot became a single battlefield and an invincible weapon.

Collapse, escape, and death, these trilogies constitute a true portrayal of the Japanese army's connection wing. When Captain Hojo died of caesarean section, he never expected that his wing would be finished after only two hours of support. At this time, his telegram for help had just been sent. He did not expect that the rest of the wings followed his footsteps and died. He only knew that his wing had set a record - becoming the first unit in the history of the Japanese army to be seized by the wing flag.

Five hours later, when the silence gradually became quiet, the Japanese army was already terrified to find that they had been divided into two parts by the National Defense Forces, which were separated by the National Defense Forces and the Real Attack. Now all the troops could only shrink and defend. They either faced the strong oppression of the National Defense Forces periphery, or faced the third attack from the heart of the people!

After the third day of the attack, the territory controlled by the Japanese dropped to a narrow area of ​​less than 40 miles from east to west and less than 50 miles. The encirclement originally built against the Third has been broken by the National Defense Force. Now, the army of 100,000 National Defense Forces surrounded the isolated army of four people.

I really don’t know how long the Shenwei Division, which is short of clothing and equipment and lacks food and salary, can last?

The day to settle the accounts is coming soon...

The Japanese in the encirclement were in chaos, and the Japanese cabinet thousands of miles away also became in chaos. Yamamoto's eyes were straightened when he received the news that the Kamio division was surrounded. He really didn't understand when the poor and weak old empire in the west had such surprising military power.

Saito Mimi Mimi Mimi initially frowned, but then quietly unfolded. Some time ago, the loss of the Navy made the Army sarcastic. He was holding his breath in his heart. He was so cold that he received such a "great pleasure" battle report. His depression and worries were much lessened. Although the Army hesitated and did not give a thorough explanation of the truth, Lord Hikazu was clear-headed. All telegrams in Kanou need to be forwarded back to the country through the fleet. How could he not know such an inside story? What's more, the conscientious Commander Kato always told the telegram to send a copy to Lord Hikazu when he was shooting and sending the telegram.

The military forces of the Changzhou faction were furious. On the one hand, they were frantically clamoring to take the most severe revenge against China. On the other hand, they raised the greatest doubts about the command and command ability of Lieutenant General Shenwei, and then vented this suspicion and dissatisfaction on the tyrants who made the army commander. Although the army faction was consistent in dealing with the navy and democratic forces, it was not a solid piece of iron without any internal contradictions. On the contrary, various small groups and small sects emerged one after another. When the first to send Shenwei to China, there were big and small debates within the army. All forces regarded this opportunity as a great opportunity to establish meritorious deeds and shape the mighty image of the imperial army. They rushed to recommend generals from this small group to go.

The last appointment of the Kanwei is certainly because of his cautiousness and subtlety, and on the other hand, because he is relatively low-key on weekdays. He doesn't offend much to other forces, and when he is in a stalemate, he is relatively more acceptable choice. Of course, this does not mean that the unselected forces are jealous and dissatisfied with him. If the Kanwei returns smoothly, it is naturally a good job of employing people in the base camp. Now the 18th strengthening division has fallen into trouble, and the already accumulated dissatisfaction takes the opportunity.}

Someone sarcastically mocked Lu Xiang, who was the leader of the powerful Kamio, saying that he "adhered to his wrong will and made a wrong choice, which caused serious consequences and had a bad impact. He should resign immediately to thank the world." As for Kamio himself, he was completely targeted by public criticism and received reprimands from all parties, ordering him to complete the task of striving for Qingdao, otherwise he should "repent to the emperor with a cesarean section!" Fortunately, the army was in trouble.

The public opinion is still unaware of this when going out to damage the Army's face. If the window should have been smashed by the "patriotic masses" dozens of times. Although the people are unknown, the accusation telegrams flying like snow flakes spread to every senior figure in the system...

Of course, no matter how big the differences there are, the Navy and Army are. What conflicts are there within the factions, they are unanimous in retaliation against China. The Navy and Army suffered losses on the battlefield in China and did not make any return, they were determined not to give up. After receiving the emergency telegram from Shenwei, the base camp made a quick decision: First, the Kwantung Army and the North Korean garrison troops were urgently mobilized to oppress Manchuria and forced China to make concessions; Second, three divisions were urgently mobilized, one of which was sent to Qingdao by the Navy to support the Shenwei Division, and the specific number was designated by the Army Province; Third, contacting the Foreign Minister and the British side. China was required to immediately stop all military operations against Japan, otherwise it would bear the most severe consequences...

Decision-making is often the fastest, but the effect is not so easy to obtain. First of all, the Kwantung Army and the Korean Army are both stationed troops, and the deployment of troops is relatively scattered. It is not easy to gather them together to give full play to the field advantage. Secondly, since the Russo-Japanese War has not faced the threat of war, the divisions in Japan are in dissatisfied, whether in terms of organization or equipment. Each standing division has only a part of the basic force in the organization. In order to cope with the Qingdao war, the 18th Division has been urgently mobilized and a large number of basic soldiers have been drawn.

It is extremely difficult to temporarily mobilize three divisions. After all, the soldiers are not made of mud, and there is a process to gather them together. Finally, although the coast of Qingdao is relatively close to Japan, the navy has completed the calculations. If the transportation force is fully used, it will take at least 7 days to transport a complete division to Shandong. Of course, if civilian ships are drawn to assist, this process will be accelerated, but that will mean a major disorder of economic order. Attacking China requires civilian ships to be dispatched. Where can the face and dignity of the Imperial Army be put?



Although the base camp passed the support proposal with the highest efficiency, Yamamoto's frown still failed to relieve his frown. As the prime minister, he had to consider more issues and difficulties in dealing with it. For example, the military is said to be a move to a chess. But it is not a good chess in politics - digging all North Korean soldiers, how can North Korea maintain public security? You must know that it has only been a few years since the merger of Japan and South Korea. The North Korean rebels and guerrillas have been resisting. Once the military high pressure is withdrawn, how can I explain to the emperor if North Korea is in chaos?

For example, the army, especially Changzhou, sent to the past, have been clamoring to use four divisions to solve the China problem. The support proposal has reached four, but there are no more bullish words from the mainland. Yamamoto was already skeptical about the "Four Divisions Theory", and the current situation is even more difficult to reassure. Is it really enough to reinforce the troops of the three divisions? Also, the budget of 26 million was approved for the Shandong war last time, but now there are few left. =. The ship replacement and maintenance fees have greatly exceeded the budget framework. If large-scale reinforcements are needed, how much budget is needed?

Yamamoto himself has not calculated it, but he believes that at least 8,000 additional additional, how can the Tibetan minister explain? Can Congress agree? Even if Congress agrees, go there to raise such a huge sum of money? The treasury is already heavily in debt and has a lot of debt. The principal and interest of the loans of the Russo-Japanese War have not been paid off yet. Where can the remaining money be invested in the war? It is impossible to borrow from abroad. European countries are caught in war and have no time to take care of themselves, so how can they lend money to Japan? Americans are rich, but they have changed their attitude towards support for Japan since then, especially against Japan's expansionary power in China. How can they lend us funds?

When he thought of this, Yamamoto was about to explode. He originally planned to hold a meeting of the Five Prime Ministers to officially pass the proposal, but now it seems that he can't even convince himself. How can he convince others? As for diplomatic oppression, a joke! The Chinese did not give in in the first two negotiations. Now they not only won in the sea, but also have an advantage on land. Are they willing to give in now? Diplomacy is the extension of politics and is based on strength. Now Japan has not shown superior strength. How can it make the other party surrender.

.The big guys whispered the Japanese-Qing War and the Russo-Japanese War. Is it still the situation 20 years ago or 10 years ago? |||Originally seems to have a certain rationality and reality, which can not hurt the dignity of the imperial army, nor will it cause too much economic pressure. When the navy has the power to control the sea, Yamamoto believes that as long as reinforcements come ashore, the Kanou Division in the encirclement will be able to retreat and preserve its vitality. As for the Qingdao strategy, he sighed and waited for the Kanou Division to rescue it first.

However, since as the prime minister, we must take care of all emotions and face. Although Yamamoto did not fully recognize the main content of the support proposal, he still signed an order one by one, requiring the Kwantung Army, the Korean Army, the Ministry of Army, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and other relevant units to take action as soon as possible... Let's prepare first and take a look at the rescue effect of Qingdao.

The Divine Tai, who was under great mental pressure, was already in a state of great anxiety. In the anxiety of various information, the depressed atmosphere was simply crazy. The Divine Tai had not yet collapsed, but it was still very psychologically qualities. The Imperial Guards took the strategic attack to cut off the Divine Tai Division into two separate parts. Although the divided parts still have considerable strength, they are bad in terms of situations. In order to get rid of the passive situation, the Divine Tai can have three choices: First, the two units have the first goal of opening up connections, and concentrate on attacking the defense line of the garrison division, hoping to drill a hole in it so that the main trunk of the division can be preserved; second, both troops are dedicated to defending and waiting for reinforcements from the country.
