Chapter 303 Two Traditions of the Japanese Army

After Jinling was captured by the Japanese army!

There has been a big discussion within the Japanese army, and that is how to proceed next.

Yu Hua is very clear about the Japanese army's dream of Great East Asia and the dream of conquering the world.

That is the Jinling High Command, just like a weed, the little devil doesn't look down on it at all.

They are targeting the United States and Maoziguo!
After taking down Jinling, the Japanese army issued a notice to the Jinling High Command through the German ambassador.

If you want China to no longer start a war, you must let the Jinling High Command recognize all the power that the Japanese army has acquired in the Pingjin and Songhu areas.

These areas will also be included in the territory of the Japanese army. Regarding the economy, the Japanese army will also obtain some privileges.

The last one is that the Japanese army has spent some money and food after several major battles, and the Jinling Command needs to pay compensation.

Faced with such a harsh treaty, the military and political officials of the Jinling High Command are also very clear about it.

This is much more serious than the 21 articles signed by Yuan Shikai.

Once such a treaty is signed, the lost land of Middle-earth will be hundreds of square kilometers!
It was only in the Qing Dynasty that such a large amount of land was lost.

Moreover, the little devil is a frog boiled in warm water, and the Jinling High Command also knows it.

Directly rejected the Japanese army's request for peace talks!

The base camp of the Japanese army, the internal control faction, after everyone learned of this result.

They were also very puzzled, why the previously cowardly Jinling High Command suddenly froze.

It's not like before, the imperial army fought violently, and then asked for peace talks.

The Jinling High Command hurried forward.

Although the peace talks failed, the Japanese base camp still decided to digest the resources in the occupied area first.

Minister of War Sugiyama Moto, he wants to go north and fight Maozi country!
Within the Japanese army, there has always been the idea of ​​going north and going south.

However, it is the army's idea to go north to attack Maoziguo, and it is the navy's idea to go south to seize the oil resources in Southeast Asia.

Due to the disagreement between the two military services, the Japanese army base camp was formed, and no definite plan was proposed.

Next in the end is north or south.

However, in the end, it was decided not to expand the policy, and asked the Central China Front Army and the Pingjin Front Army to stick to the current occupied area.

Digest all the resources inside and supplement them to the country.

At the same time, strengthen the defense of the north.

Yu Hua understands!

The information that Brigadier Chen told himself before was that the three divisions were transferred, most likely to guard Mao Ziguo.

Will not participate in the Battle of Xuzhou!

but!

Yu Hua is very clear.

Shuichi Terauchi, the commander of the Pingjin Front Army, doesn't think so at all!

Terauchi Shouichi learned that Matsui Iwane's troops achieved results after breaking through the command line set by the base camp.

The base camp not only did not pursue it, but also gave some rewards.

This made Terauchi Shouichi, as the commander of the Pingjin Front Army, very envious.

same!
Both of them are commanders. The Central China Front Army has achieved excellent results, and the Pingjin Front Army under his command must also keep up.

Regarding the non-expansion policy issued by the base camp.

Shouyi in the temple didn't pay attention at all.

He also understands that it is also reasonable for the base camp to issue a policy of not expanding.

After all, Yuan Sugiyama shouted before that the Middle-Earth issue should be completely resolved in three months, but now he has been slapped in the face.

Instead of asking for peace, the Jinling High Command made up their minds to continue resisting.

According to the calculations of the Japanese base camp, if you want to continue fighting.

To completely disintegrate the vital forces in the hands of the Jinling High Command, at least [-] divisions need to be invested in Zhongtu Pass.

Such a calculation can scare the little devils!
Sixty divisions, with so many troops, now there are fifteen divisions and one brigade fighting in the pass.

From the 32 billion yen military expenditure at the beginning of the war.

Up to now, military expenditure has reached 80 billion yen.

The little devil was originally an island country, lacking resources, and now the military expenditure is so high.

In addition, it will cost a lot of money to purchase various resources from the United States.

Once 45 divisions are expanded, the military expenditure is simply unimaginable.

As a soldier!
Terauchi Shouichi doesn't care about military expenditures. This is a matter that should be managed by the cabinet, not the military department.

Now he only wants the Pingjin front army to gain military exploits!
Since the inside of the base camp is still swaying, he might as well let his Terauchi Shouichi push it.

In the Japanese army, there have always been two traditions.

The first is that the soldiers obey orders unconditionally, and the little devil can slap the soldiers at will.

The second is, down to up!

The lower-level officers push the upper-level officers to make decisions.

Obviously!

Terauchi Shouichi wants to be such a person now.

As a time traveler, it was impossible for Yu Hua to tell Brigadier Chen all the things he knew.

After all, Brigadier Chen wouldn't believe it, and he wasn't Shouyi in the temple himself.

Yu Hua looked at Brigadier Chen.

"Brigade Commander Chen!"

"I still stand by my point of view."

"The Japanese troops in the Pingjin area must have deployed troops to fight in Xuzhou."

"They will definitely not go north to outside the pass!"

After Lao Chen finished smoking a cigarette and pinched off the butt, he looked at Yu Hua.

"fine!"

"We're just discussing!"

"Anyway, the Pingjin Front Army has now dispatched three divisions to leave Jinyang."

"The pressure in the Jin Province area has been reduced a lot in an instant."

"The 22nd Army of the Sichuan Army is attacking Pingyao, and now is also a good time."

"The No.18 Army has been instructed by the headquarters to cooperate with you this time."

With that said, Brigadier Chen came to the map.

"Currently, the strength of our No.18 Group Army is distributed in the northwest of Shanxi."

"Jinzhong area, and the border area between Shanxi and Hebei provinces."

"As long as the Sichuan Army attacks Pingyao, my No.18 Army will definitely organize troops to intercept the enemy's reinforcements."

Yu Hua nodded, regarding the combat capability of the No.18 Army.

He still believes very much. When it comes to mobile warfare, the No.18 Army is quite good.

Among the troops of the Sichuan Army, Guo Xunqi's 144th Division is more powerful in mobile warfare.

Now the two armies of the Sichuan Army, under the guidance of Yu Hua, are also changing their tactics.

Especially in mobile warfare, it is much better than a frontal defense.

Immediately!

Yu Hua sent a telegram to Deng Xihou and Sun Zhen, telling them.

The No.18 Army of Pingyao City will also participate, and they will ambush the enemy's reinforcements.

Deng Xihou and Sun Zhen were also very happy when they heard the news.

Now that the Sichuan Army has lost its commander in chief.

The Jinling High Command already seemed to be sharpening their knives and rushing towards pigs and sheep.

Don't count on Yan Laoxi from Jin Province. This old boy has directly cut off the Sichuan Army's money and food.

Crossing the river and demolishing the bridge is so smooth!

As for Wei Lihuang, the deputy commander of the second war zone, this is still a bit humane, at least it has added a little equipment to the Sichuan Army.

However, the Central Army under Wei Lihuang suffered a lot of casualties in the Battle of Xinkou and the Battle of Jinyang.

Right now, he is huddled in Jinnan and licking his wounds!
After Fu Zuoyi was abandoned by Yan Laoxi, he was disheartened, packed up the remnants and went north to the desert.

Now that the No.18 Army has joined, it also warmed the hearts of the Sichuan Army for a while.

At least not alone!

that's it!
The Sichuan army held a military meeting in Hongdong, southern Shanxi.

The battle plan for attacking Pingyao City was determined, and at the same time, blocking troops were arranged.

Wang Mingzhang's 122nd Division, as the main force to attack Pingyao City.
