Chapter 673: The Sad Nishishouzo
Chapter 673: The Sad Nishishouzo
The Eighth Route Army in Hebei Province launched a firepower density that was beyond the imagination of the Japanese, which made the Japanese in the entire northern China realize a problem. The current improvement in the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army is not a single area, but a systematic improvement in the combat effectiveness of the entire Eighth Route Army.
The firepower density of the Eighth Route Army had already exceeded that of its contemporary armies. Coupled with such powerful firepower equipment, the Japanese in Hebei found that their defense line was like paper in front of the Eighth Route Army.
Nishishou Ozo, the Japanese leader of the Chinese battlefield, had a headache when he saw these battle reports. He now had only one feeling, that is, smoke of war was everywhere.
Unlike the previous stage when the Eighth Route Army mainly fought harassment wars, this year, especially after Taiyuan was recaptured by the Eighth Route Army, the strategic positioning of the Eighth Route Army changed greatly, shifting from the non-frontal battlefield to the frontal battlefield.
But this time, facing the Eighth Route Army from Hebei who were sweeping in like a raging fire, the soldiers of this Type B Division of the Japanese devils were completely defenseless.
Moreover, when facing the 12th Division transferred from Manchukuo, the Eighth Route Army in Hebei Province, which suddenly encountered it, also showed extremely strong penetration. Even if the 12th Division had planned unintentionally, the two sides actually ended up in a draw.
Nishijuozo kept flipping through the battle reports in his hand, and finally he turned to the latest report from Shijiazhuang City. The city was broken, and General Tada Shun led the 110th Division to break through, but was besieged by the Eighth Route Army. His life or death was unknown.
Nishishou Ozo dejectedly threw the battle report in his hand on the table. Since last year, the Locust Army had suffered too many such disastrous defeats on the northern battlefield. Now, the tragic defeat had spread from Jin to Ji.
It realized one thing: it was impossible to win this war. At least it was impossible for the Locust Army to annex so much occupied territory with its size.
After thinking for a long time, Nishishou Ozo picked up a pen and wrote a letter to Tianhuang. This letter was not sent through the military or the cabinet, but would be delivered to the devil Tianhuang as a private letter.
"Your Majesty, Tianhuang, I bow to you. With the current strength of the Locust Army, it is already a luxury to digest the occupied Chinese areas, let alone annex the entire Chinese country, which would starve the entire country to death.
There are only two options for now. One is to increase the intensity of the battlefield in the south and force the southwest to surrender, so as to cede Manchuria in exchange for the occupied territories in North China and South China.
Second, the main force of the Pacific battlefield was transferred to completely defeat the Eighth Route Army in China's northern battlefield, thereby completely digesting Manchuria and Goguryeo and other regions.
Only Manchukuo is the foundation for the prosperity of our nation.
If we continue to fight on multiple fronts, the locust army will be defeated and the locust nation will perish."
Nishishou Ozo has a clear understanding of the current situation. If the Japanese want to maintain the results of their invasion, they can only increase their digestion of the Northeast and Goguryeo regions. Otherwise, they will vomit out as much as they eat, and may even lose their country.
However, it overlooked one problem. If it was the first option, the Japanese would not be able to obtain resources from North China to support the southern battlefield, and it would be impossible to put enough pressure on the southwest.
If it is the second option, the Japanese will not be able to obtain resources from the Southeast Asian battlefield, their logistical supplies will be completely destroyed, and it will be impossible for them to pose any fatal threat to the currently thriving Eighth Route Army in North China.
If a small country faces a big country, it will inevitably be starved to death.
This letter took a long time to write. Nishisuizo slowly sealed the letter with an envelope. His movements were so slow, as if these thin pieces of paper weighed a thousand pounds.
After doing all this, Nishishou Ozo still focused his attention on the battle map. The strategic issues had been thought through, but the tactical issues still had to be solved one by one. As long as the Tianhuang and the military did not order a retreat, their mission was still to defeat the Chinese army and seize as many resources as possible.
At present, it is impossible for the Japanese to defeat the Eighth Route Army in ground combat. The only way now is to make good use of the air advantage and inflict a devastating blow to the Eighth Route Army.
In the previous air battle in Ping'an County, almost all the fighter planes deployed by the Japanese on the battlefield in North China were destroyed, and they would probably not be able to organize large-scale air combat power in a short period of time.
However, last year, those naval idiots developed a new type of fighter, which was named "Zero Fighter". It achieved many victories with its super maneuverability. If it can be successfully introduced to the battlefield in China, it may have good results.
Moreover, with the extremely strong maneuverability of this fighter, it can launch surprise attacks on the Eighth Route Army's supply lines and cities that do not have a complete air defense system. This may be a very effective tactic.
How to deal with those idiots in the navy is a very troublesome problem for it.
Nishishou Ozo stood in front of the battle map and thought for a long time. In addition to using air superiority to fight, he was also considering how to launch sneak attacks on the Eighth Route Army through harassment in order to disrupt their normal production order and delay the process of improving the Eighth Route Army's combat effectiveness.
I have to say that this method is indeed a bit contrary to the norm.
Using guerrilla warfare to deal with the Eighth Route Army sounded a bit ridiculous. Nishishou Ozo never understood one thing, which was that the Eighth Route Army was able to have such a strong combat capability behind enemy lines not simply relying on its own strong organizational ability, but relying on the vast ocean of people's war.
Once the Japanese were broken up into small groups and scattered into this vast ocean, they would be completely submerged immediately.
Nishijuozo and his team of advisers racked their brains for methods and strategies to defeat the enemy, but they were helpless.
......
"Director Yu, you're back?"
When Da Yie returned to the 221 base with Qian Lin and Yu Min, who had completed the review, as well as a bunch of equipment and an IBM computer system, he was warmly welcomed.
"Yes, how's your work going?"
"No way, Director, you just came back and you're already asking us for progress. Even Zhou Baopi wouldn't be so cruel, right?" The young man named Guangya joked with Yu Ye while holding a pile of materials.
"You guys."
Yu Ye said unhappily, feeling somewhat helpless towards these big guys who were in their twenties. It was hard to associate them with the mature and steady scientific research giants in his impression.
However, perhaps this is how these scientific giants should be when they are young.
"Director, why did you bring back a child? How could there be a child in our secret base?" another young man asked with a little curiosity.
Several other young people also came over, looking curiously at this boy who seemed to be just entering high school, with some kindness in their teasing.
"Hey, this is my junior fellow apprentice. Although he is young, he has a high level of understanding. Are you interested in fighting him?
The loser will run around our lab and yell "I'm a fool?"
Yu Ye said with a smile.
