My Third Empire

Chapter 880: Japan's grand strategy

Biquge www.readwn.com, update my latest chapter of the third empire as soon as possible!

The battle plan that went south all the way to the Middle East, "liberated" India and the entire Southeast Asia, fully occupied Australia, and drove the United States back to the homeland was completely destroyed after the tragic defeat of the Battle of Imphal.

The big men in the base camp of the Great Japanese Empire finally, like sleepwalkers awake, clearly saw the gap between their strategic deployment and the ability to execute battles with Western powers. The experience of relying on a few advantages in the Asian world is no longer applicable. The powerful Japanese navy is trapped in the waters of the Solomon Islands.

Here I want to talk about what the Japanese base camp is. In fact, this so-called base camp is mainly led by the Chief of Staff, the Deputy Chief of Staff, and the Secretary of the Navy Commander. The daily guidance work of the chief abbot is the chief of the army. The chief of staff is actually responsible for the actual work by the chief of staff, the army staff, and the navy staff. There are servant military officers, military internal affairs bureau, military station director department, transportation and communication department, field supervision department, field health department and management department. After the outbreak of the Pacific War, a staff room and an intelligence room headquarters are added.

Such a well-organized organization should logically exist at the same level as the highest command of the German army, right? However, in Japan, there is not such a character as Akado who can let all generals bow down and become a minister, so this base camp has become a place where the army and navy lie.

As a member of the army general in the base camp, General Sugiyama ’s recent mood is very bad. As an army minister, he was called into trouble by the 15th Army ’s fiasco in Myanmar. His Majesty the Emperor has summoned him separately several times. Every inquiry Let him sit on the needle felt.

Hundreds of thousands of Japanese elite troops, in the process of going south, were defeated inexplicably, and the defeat was very ugly, and it was simply terrible. Being beaten by the British did not mention it for the time being. The British army has always been a strong force in the world. It is not particularly shameful to lose, but what does it mean to lose to the Chinese Expeditionary Force?

As for the Chinese expeditionary forces, weren't they just the little defensive line that used to make trouble for the British? When the 15th Army was in full swing, it never even thought of using the Chinese army as a dish to cope with it. I felt that after finishing the Impal, I would eat the army with it.

However, contrary to expectations, the Imphal battle ended in a complete collapse of the Japanese army, and the most unbearable fact for the Japanese was that in the final stage of the battle, the Chinese expeditionary army, which was not originally taken into consideration, was in the deadliest Time and the deadliest location gave the Japanese army the deadliest knife.

Fifteen thousand people! The loss is as much as 15,000, not to mention that because the Chinese interception disrupted the Japanese army ’s original march plan, resulting in starvation and scattered troops. The Japanese army has only a rough estimate anyway. That is to use departure At that time, 100,000 Japanese troops, minus more than 20,000 people who had fled, the result was that almost 80,000 people were killed.

Comparing the feeling of heartache from top to bottom when the Germans were killed in Stalingrad by 10,000 people, they can experience the grief and indignation of General Sugiyama. He can't wait to gather troops now, and fight against the cunning Chinese army, but his plan was totally rejected, and the idea of ​​fighting in China was completely lost, and the idea of ​​completely defeating China was finally lost.

If China can be defeated once and for all and turned into a obedient servant country or colony, then the Japanese will not have to go to expedition and go to what **** Southeast Asia to develop the second battlefield. Now the Japanese high-level leaders remembered the fact that they couldn't fight on the Chinese battlefield, so they went to the United States for trouble.

Now a quarter of the Japanese army is stuck in Southeast Asia and cannot withdraw, a quarter of the Japanese army is stuck on the frontal battlefield of China and cannot withdraw, and a quarter of the Japanese army is stuck on the Pacific battlefield and cannot withdraw anyway. Anyway, the options that the Japanese Army can choose are really Running out.

The only thing that can be counted as a field maneuvering force is the elite and few remaining Northeast China's Kanto Army. This unit is now entrenched in northern China, because there is no war against the Soviets, and military pressure is relatively low.

Waiting for his death, or being a quiet beautiful man, is obviously not the character of the army gangster Sugiyama. This is not to say that his big cake face is far from the beautiful man, but that he has not said anything about the Secretary of the Navy. The main reason for his cynicism is that he is looking for an opportunity to revive the Japanese army.

"Your Excellency! Your Excellency!" Ueno in the office is a young man. He rushed into Susan Yamamoto's office in a hurry and couldn't even take care of the manners that he had to maintain.

Sugiyama frowned, dissatisfied with the reckless behavior of his men. He sighed coldly and scolded with a lesson tone: "Baga ah! What a panic? The soldiers of the Japanese Empire are in danger. Don't be calm and calm! "

"General! Top secret information just returned from Vladivostok! General Yamashita Fengwen said, this is the last chance for the army to be ashamed." Although Ueno's rank in the base camp is only Nakasa, it can't be counted as a sum after all. . However, he is a close friend of Sugiyama Yuan, and he also has dealings with some senior army generals, and his status is not much more than that of Da Zuolai on the front line.

Sugiyama took over this information from the Far East border area, and after reading it carefully, he felt that his pores had to be opened. This is really a very good opportunity. At least on the surface, this is the army turned over. There are few opportunities.

When Japanese spies were secretly operating in the Far East, they accidentally discovered and killed a spy from Germany. This was originally a small incident that was common in countless spy wars, but it gave the Japanese army countless important information.

The killed German spy actually had a whole roll of microfilm on it, which contained densely documented the military points of the entire Soviet army in the Far East. This information is very important to the Germans, but it is even more attractive to Japan.

According to intelligence, in order to cope with the Germans' crazy attack in Stalingrad, the Soviets once again transferred 30 divisions from the Far East to the west. In addition to the previous troops, the main forces of the Soviets in the Far East were evacuated, leaving only Area of ​​700,000 troops.

In order to corroborate this force transfer, a German spy in Chelyabinsk verified the Soviet material transfer and train schedule, and determined the authenticity of the transfer.

In addition, the countless supplies of US military assistance to the Soviet Union piled up on the east coast of the Soviet Union. Among them, only the strategic supplies of oil that the Japanese army badly needed, there were 1 million tons. If you count the machine tool equipment, technical workers, countless steel and rare metal reserves that Japan is very interested in, as well as ammunition weapons and heavy armored vehicles, there is simply a treasure trove.

"Heaven and I must take it!" This is the sentence that Sugiyama Yuan now has in his mind. He feels that as long as the army has captured the eastern part of the Soviet Union, all the difficulties of the Japanese army will be solved, and the supplies there are at least enough Japan has fought the war for another three years!

This kind of thing of getting rich overnight has been too many times for Japan. The whole country was fighting against the water and fighting off the Qing Dynasty Beiyang sailors. The overnight richness became the strongest in Asia; and the British eyebrows defeated the tsarist Russia in one fell swoop. Overnight, the rich became a world power, now a strategic adventure, this is clearly a time to witness the miracle again!

Japan, a country that has kept in mind the experience from top to bottom, has such a smooth past when it comes to gambling, so this time it is a matter of course to push all the chips in the hand to a smart stud?

"Soviet, dispatched the Far East troops of 60 divisions? This matter, our intelligence department, why don't you know?" Sugiyama narrowed his eyes and looked at Ueno who was standing aside and dared not speak out.

"Your Excellency, because of race, we want to mix into the Soviet army, it is almost impossible." Ueno explained to his colleagues in the intelligence department: "And, we are not doing nothing about the Soviet military mobilization. Knowing that after repeated confirmations, we have detected that the designations of the 19 Soviet divisions have disappeared in the Northeast. "

"Oh ... There is one third of what we have proven ... So it seems that this intelligence from the German spy is probably true? It is worth thinking about it ... It is worth considering. Ah. "Sugiyama touched his bare chin as if talking to himself.

Since Mu Tiankou's idiot did not complete the plan to lay down Impal and eat the British strategic materials, it is not something that cannot be considered if he goes north to the Soviet Union, lays down the Soviet supply base, and eats Stalin's materials.

Now, what Susan Yamamoto and Hideki Tojo dare not reach out easily is only the unforgettable battle of Nomenkan. Who can guarantee that the Soviet Union will not kill the second Zhukov this time and use a hearty victory to completely sound the death knell for the Japanese army?

"This time, we can no longer make the mistake of a love rival! We must concentrate our troops! At least 400,000 soldiers must be prepared, and 70% of Manchurian troops will be used to carry out this adventurous offensive combat plan." , Sugiyama persuades Tojo Hideki to persuade: "Even if it is cheaper for the Germans, it is necessary to eat these supplies to save the destiny of the empire and save your majesty the emperor, only the army of the Great Japanese Empire!"

"Yo Xi!" Tojo Hideki nodded with a murderous eye.
