Glorious Mission 1937

Ps:

ps: I just returned to work from my hometown today, and I didn’t get off the car until after [-]:[-] pm. I was really tired after a whole day’s ride, so I’m sorry that there is only one update today!

In fact, many officers of the North China Front Army also want to know the answer to the question Yan Junliu raised. Because they have been fighting too hard and uselessly for more than a year, many people think that the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army has improved, but there are also some People think that the quality of imperial soldiers has declined, which eventually led to a decline in the combat effectiveness of the troops. -"

However, this issue has been debated within the North China Front Army for some time, but no one can convince the other party. They all feel that their own point of view is the most correct, and the other side's point of view is only one-sided or simply wrong.

The question raised by the Sixth General Yan Jun is really too sharp, and it has only been more than two months since Tada Jun took over as the commander of the North China Front Army. He still lacks sufficient understanding of the situation in North China and the army under his command, so this question Really stumped Tada Hayao.If it were someone else, Tada Hayao was confident that he could get away with his three-inch tongue. After all, he had served as an instructor at the Army University in Beiping three times, and he could be said to be an authentic China hand.

But now the Sixth General Yan Jun is asking him questions. He knows that His Majesty's Chief of Guards knows China no worse than he does. The most important thing is that His Excellency is still commanding the army and the Chinese government forces in Central China. After fighting for more than a year, if I don't tell the truth, I can easily be exposed on the spot.

Xu saw Tada Hayao's embarrassment, Lieutenant General Naozaburo Kobe, Chief of Staff of the North China Front Army stood up and said: "Your Excellency, Chief of Guards. The humble post is Naozaburo Kobe, Chief of Staff of the Northern China Front Army. Now please allow the humble post to tell you about us. The defense of the North China Front Army!"

"Self-defense? Although there is no reason for the failure, I still want to hear how your Northern China Front Army views the continuous failure and the reasons for the failure. You can say it!" Yan Junliu said loudly.

"Hay! Your Excellency, Chief of Guards, as an officer of the Imperial Japanese Army, especially a senior officer, I am ashamed of my lowly position. A soldier takes obedience to orders as his vocation, and a soldier takes victory as his highest honor. But Under our command, the Front Army has repeatedly suffered heavy losses from the Chinese Army, and from this aspect, it is true that I am not a qualified officer, nor even a qualified soldier.”[

Having said this, Naozaburo Kobe stopped for a while, and he looked up at the senior officers of the North China Front Army who were listening with their heads down in the conference room.He knew that all the officers present must be very painful and ashamed in their hearts, but he knew better that some words must be made clear. If everyone has doubts about the enemy, the result of the fight will not be much better than it is now .

"As the chief of staff of previous battles, I believe that the front army's repeated failures should bear the main responsibility. It has nothing to do with the troops below. As the command center of the hundreds of thousands of troops in Northern China, what the front army headquarters has to do It is to formulate a reasonable and complete combat plan, and then mobilize troops to implement this combat plan. In fact, we have been at war with the Chinese people for three full years. However, the Front Army Command still has not figured out how many troops there are in the Eighth Theater of China. What are the differences, who is the commander, what is his personality, and whether there are any shortcomings? We don’t know all of these, as the commanding body of the front army, this is obviously absurd and extremely unreasonable.” Speaking of this, Naozaburo Kobe changed his voice: "Contrary to the inaction of the command center, the officers and soldiers at the grassroots level of the Front Army were very brave. They did not retreat in the face of the powerful firepower of the Chinese, but bravely faced the enemy by thousands, although the final result was not very ideal. At least They made the Chinese people pay a heavy price! Therefore, the humble official believes that the front army has been repeatedly defeated and suffered heavy losses. The main responsibility lies with the command organization of the front army, not the grassroots. Even if it is a shame, it is only us senior officers who have failed His Majesty the Emperor. Trust and trust, those junior officers and soldiers are heroes."

"Gangbu, you mean to say that the failure of the Northern China Front Army was not caused by the decline of the Front Army's combat effectiveness, but was caused by the command error of the Northern China Front Army, isn't that the case?"

"Your Excellency, Chief of Guards, you have misunderstood the meaning of humble post. Although the Front Army Command is indeed responsible for the repeated failures, there are many reasons for the continuous defeat of the Front Army. The most important thing is the rapid improvement of the strength of the Chinese people. It is also an indisputable fact that the combat effectiveness of the units under the Front Army has declined. But relatively speaking, the Front Army Command should pay for the failure of the war.”

Then Lieutenant General Kobe Naozaburo explained: "Your Excellency, the Chief Guard, the main forces of our North China Front Army are the Eighth Theater and the Second Theater of China. In addition, the troops of the Tuba Road and the First Theater of China also often fight the imperial army. Among these hostile forces, the Front Army poses the least threat to our army in the First China Theater and the Second China Theater, and we are well aware of the troop establishment and deployment of the two major China Theaters, as well as the situation of the main military and political officers of each army. Well, if it were just these two China theaters, the Front Army would not have fallen into the current miserable situation."

"In fact, the existence of the Eighth War Zone of China and the Tuba Road is indeed a serious problem for the front army, especially the Eighth War Zone of China! The gentlemen of the Eighth War Zone of China must not be aware of this strategic unit of China, but what I want to say is that the Eighth War Zone of China The supreme commander of the Eighth War Zone is Zhina Chen Feng!"

"Chen Feng! Nani, is that the devil?"

"Baga! Devil Chen?"

Ignoring the rants of these senior officers, Lieutenant General Naozaburo Okabe continued: "I don't want to say too much about the matter of the Eighth War Zone of China. I think everyone here knows something, maybe not very comprehensively, but I I want everyone to issue a warning, no matter who encounters this General China in the future, you must use [-]% of your energy to deal with him, this Chinaman is too weird and terrifying!"

"Your Excellency, Chief of Guards, you may think that the humble words are to increase the morale of the enemy and destroy your prestige, but in fact, the Chinese man and the mysterious army under his command not only appeared strangely, but also developed in a strange way. According to reliable information, three years ago That abominable Chinese man is just a dandy, no different from those young men in Tokyo city. After the undeclared war, this son suddenly appeared on the battlefield with an army of less than 3000 people, and it has been out of control so far. So far, the most conservative estimate of this Chinese army is 40 to 50 people. Moreover, every unit is an elite in hundreds of battles, with extremely strong combat effectiveness."

"This is not the most important thing. The most incredible thing is that this powerful Chinese army has obtained a large number of new weapons from nowhere, including powerful field heavy artillery, advanced aviation fighters and powerful heavy combat aircraft. Vehicles. According to the information collected by our North China Front Army, this China Army has at least 2 artillery divisions, 1 tank division and an air force composed of no less than 200 new fighter planes. In this weird China General With the support, the Chinese government and many local troops have received a lot of support. According to the report of our intelligence personnel lurking inside the Chinese government, since Showa 13, the Chinese government has purchased at least 20 from northern China at a very low price. The weapons and equipment of the infantry divisions, the most important thing is that those weapons and equipment are the standard equipment of the Imperial Japanese Army. In addition, the China Tuba Road, the Jinsui Army and other troops also successively obtained the weapons and equipment of at least 15 infantry divisions from Chen Feng's subordinates. Although we are reluctant to admit it, the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army has indeed increased, at least in terms of light weapons, they are not weaker than the Imperial Japanese Army. As for the northern part of the country, the Imperial Japanese Army is even at a disadvantage."

"In addition, the decline in the combat effectiveness of the imperial troops is an objective fact. No one can deny this. The main reason for the decline in the combat effectiveness of the troops is that the battle ahead is not going well, and a large number of veterans died in battle. increase. The newly recruited troops did not undergo strict and systematic military training, and most of them were sent to the battlefield after simple military training, which caused a rapid decline in the combat effectiveness of the troops. It is precisely for these reasons that the As a result, the front army was repeatedly hit hard by the Chinese!"

Obviously, Lieutenant General Naozaburo Kobebe had prepared carefully. His words caused the entire meeting room to fall into a brief silence, and everyone was thinking about Lieutenant General Naozaburo Kobebe's words.

After a long while, the Sixth General Yan Jun said: "Although I don't agree with several points in your self-defense, it is undeniable that this self-defense still moved me, so I decided to meet in person for a while. Those resistance forces in Northern China, let’s see if they are as strong as Mr. Gangbe said.”[

"Hay! I think the answer will definitely satisfy His Excellency the Chief Guard!" Lieutenant General Naozaburo Kobebe said loudly.

Yan Junliu's decision made the entire North China Front Army Command breathe a sigh of relief. They were not afraid of being held accountable by the domestic inspection team, but they were afraid that those men in the inspection team who held Shang Fang's sword would not give them a chance to defend themselves.Since Your Excellency Yan Junliu wants to personally experience the fighting power of the Chinese people, that is the best thing. Only in this way, these uncles will fully understand the difficulties of the front army.

With the keynote set by the Sixth General Yan Jun, the inspection team of more than 200 people was immediately divided into four teams at the meeting, and they carried out all-round inspections of the military, politics, and economy in North China. At the same time, the Sixth General Yan Jun personally selected A group of elites in the military plan to meet those local snakes in North China.
