Chapter 111
(One)

Not too many, there are only three in total, but the fact that there are booby traps in the village is very serious in itself, Captain Hirata reprimanded the engineering troops and asked them to conduct a thorough investigation.

The villagers who had already returned home were also terrified, and they built simple shacks on the drying yard at the entrance of the village.

"Report to the general! Colonel Yamamoto is outside."

"Okay, let him in."

Turning around from the front of the map, Yoshio Shinozuka raised his hand and said, "Let's drink new tea today. Mr. Matsuyama specially brought it here. The rain has just passed and the Qingming Festival has not yet arrived. The new tea in this season is the most delicious."

"Thank you, General! Is Matsuyama-kun here too?" Kazuki Yamamoto looked, and the tea table was empty.

"I asked him to go to the archives to get some information..."

Colonel Matsuyama knocked on the door and said, "General! The information you asked for has been retrieved!"

"Oh, look, say Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here! Come on, Matsuyama-kun, and Yamamoto-kun is also here, let's drink tea and chat."

The two captains bowed politely.

Both Matsuyama and Yamamoto are supporters of the theory of special operations, which is what they have in common, but there are also differences between them on the issue of special operations.

"Yesterday, Yamamoto-kun gave me an exam question, asking me what I think of the Maginot Line." Yoshio Shinozuka asked the two to sit on his left and right, and cleaned the tea set while talking.

"The general is serious, Yamamoto dare not! Yamamoto is sincerely asking for advice!" Kazuki Yamamoto hurriedly bowed.

"Don't be cautious, Yamamoto-kun, sit down." Yoshio Shinozuka nodded politely, looked at Colonel Matsuyama, and said, "I asked Matsuyama-kun to find two documents, one was the Kwantung Army's proposal to build the 'Oriental Maginot' The reason why I raised objections to the border forts in the frontier style, and the other is the reasons why I adopted the Maginot Line standard for the "cage tactics" in important terrain two years ago. It has been a long time, and I am afraid that I will remember. If there is something wrong, please ask Mr. Songshan to fetch it for me."

Matsuyama bowed and said, "It's an honor to serve the general!"

"Yamamoto-kun, one of these two documents is an objection, and the other is a suggestion, so that lord of the private class, said that I am old-fashioned." Yoshio Shinozuka smiled and said: "Yamamoto-kun, I hope you If I can look at these two documents from an objective point of view, maybe I am really confused?"

"The general is too polite! It's an honor to be able to read the masterpiece of the general!" Yamamoto bowed.

"How about..." Shinozuka Yoshio looked at the two of them and said, "You two read a copy first, we will communicate, and then you can exchange!"

"It's an honor, an honor!"

"Team Guan, Team Guan! Shanzi!" Old Xu pushed Guan Shan to wake him up.

"Oh, Old Xu." Guan Shan moved his neck.

I had another weird dream, which seemed to have a certain sequence relationship with yesterday's plot.

It's just that the clue card "Maginot Line" has nothing to do with me as a soldier!
"Let's go, it's almost time, let's go over the last mountain ridge before resting, if it gets dark, it's not easy for them to walk." Old Xu suggested.

"The monkey didn't come back, right? It should be safe along the route, let's go!" Guan Shan turned his face, patted Wang Nianzhu lightly, and shouted: "Squad Leader Wang, wake up the big guy, let's go!"

"Is this the meaning of the Maginot Line?" Colonel Matsuyama said in surprise: "General, I have learned! Thank you very much, General!"

Yamamoto also bowed and thanked Matsuyama, saying that he was educated.

But Shinozuka Yoshio can clearly see that Kazuki Yamamoto has already accepted his own understanding. I don’t know where he read his own things, or when he was studying in Germany, he learned about the strategies related to the Maginot Line. Interested in tactical system.

"With a strong defense system, deterrence will prevent the Germans from attacking frontally, so as to protect the industrial areas in eastern France." Matsuyama tasted, and said to himself: "Forcing the Germans to go north and detour through Belgium, and then set up Defensive lines and set traps, quickly mobilize heavy troops to encircle and wipe out the German army in Belgium!"

Kazuki Yamamoto didn't speak, he picked up the tea and took a sip, concealing his disdain for the country bumpkin Matsuyama.

Although they are all of the rank of Dazuo, even Matsuyama is commanding a regiment, and Yamamoto only has a squad-level force on hand, but this does not affect Yamamoto's contempt for Matsuyama.

They don't even know the strategic intentions of the Maginot Line, yet they still want to imitate the Brandenburg troops, so let's go!
"So! General! So, when the head of state saw Guderian's small armored motorized unit, he said 'this is what I need'!" Matsuyama Dazuo's eyes shone brightly, and he lowered his head, He hungrily read the documents in his hand again.

Shinozuka Yoshio glanced at Yamamoto who pretended to read the document carefully, and said to Matsuyama: "The Maginot Line of Defense is not a line of defense, but a huge strategic and tactical system, forcing Germany to detour through Belgium, so that the battlefield can be opened up." Outside the borders of France, and Belgium is a country that provides security for the United Kingdom, if Germany attacks Belgium, France will be able to successfully drag Britain into the water, this is a strategy. Then Matsumoto-kun, at the tactical level, what do you say?"

"General! Then I will make a fool of myself!" Colonel Matsumoto gestured and said, "Whether Germany is from Belgium or the Ardennes, firstly, there is a problem of logistics supply lines, and secondly, there is a problem of delivery speed. The defense line of the Mu River has reached a stalemate, relying on the well-developed road and railway transportation network, logistics and troop deployment speed, it is bound to be better than Germany..."

While talking, Matsumoto Dazao thought about it.

For a long time, the explanations of the Maginot Line in the Japanese media and even in military textbooks are all outdated products of the continuation of trench warfare thinking in World War I. It has never been said that the Maginot Line was to force the Germans to jump into a There are traps for them!

Obviously, the Germans have also seen through this strategy, so they targeted the use of armored clusters with advantages in firepower, protection and speed, supplemented by aerial bombing and blitzkrieg.

"Yes!" Colonel Matsuyama nodded and said, "It is really unnecessary to build such a huge fortress system on the Manchurian-Soviet border in the northeast! It is a waste, it is too wasteful..."

In the second year after the "September [-]th" Incident, the Kwantung Army drew up the "Offensive Operation Plan against the Soviet Union" aimed at the former Soviet Union. The Japanese Northeast Frontier Fortress was part of this plan.All the fortifications of the Japanese military fortresses were built with reinforced concrete fortifications, permanent firepower points, steel cap forts, armored observation posts, and civil firepower points.
