Chapter six hundred and twentieth eighth
Chapter 628: The snake swallows the elephant when the person is not in a good heart
Meijiro Umezu grabbed the neckline of the Japanese officer and questioned him sternly. In his heart, Meijiro Umezu couldn't believe it was true.
Seeing his commander's appearance, the Chief of Staff of the Little Ghost said helplessly: "Your Excellency Commander! If we want to open a little, since the first brigade of heavy artillery has become a certain fact, we can only accept this reality."
The Japanese Chief of Staff, as the deputy, could only enlighten Mijiro Umezu at this time.
After a long time, Meijiro Umezu let go of this despicable Japanese officer. The entire army of the 1st Brigade of Heavy Artillery was destroyed. Meijiro Umezu was greatly hit. Several Japanese devils next to him almost couldn't stand firmly when they saw that Meijiro Umezu was standing, so they immediately helped Meijiro Umezu and sat on a chair.
Sitting in the chair and resting for a long time, it took at least ten minutes before Mijiro Umezu recovered. It can be seen how big the blow to Mijiro Umezuzu was to be knocked down.
After a little relief, Mejiro Umezu looked at the large number of Japanese officers at all levels around him and some Japanese soldiers who were busy at the command center. Mijiro Umezuzu suddenly felt discouraged.
Suddenly, Mijiro Umezu no longer had the ambitions he had before. This feeling and this thought instantly surged into Mijiro Umezuzu's heart.
At this time, Mejiro Umezu thought to himself that the 36th Army Army was approaching. If his reinforcements could not be reached in time, it would be dangerous not only in Shenyang, but also in the entire Kanto Army.
Umezu Mijiro thought that if the Kanto Army was defeated by the 36th Army, it would be a major loss to the entire empire.
Meijiro Umezu was quite pessimistic. He looked at a huge map hanging in the command center and a large area of land occupied by Japan, especially Southeast Asia. The entire Southeast Asia was almost completely under the hands of the Japanese army. In the Pacific, there were also many islands and large areas of waters, which were also controlled by the Japanese army.
Looking at the vast occupied areas and looking at the area of their own country, Japan's land area is completely disproportionate to the area currently occupied or controlled. Meijiro Umezu was not happy at all, and was not happy because the Japanese army occupied such a large area.
On the contrary, Mijiro Umezu was more pessimistic and worried, worried that Japan would fall into an abyss that would never be restored. Suddenly, Mijiro Umezu remembered a Chinese saying, "The human heart is not enough to swallow the elephant." The top leaders in Japan were more ambitious, and they didn't think about it. Japan was just a small place.
Disheartened, Mejiro Umezu had no expression and slowly asked the Japanese Chief of Staff, "Is our Great Japanese Empire too ambitious? Is it a bit unrealistic to prosper together in East Asia?"
The Chief of Staff of the Japanese, after hearing Mejiro Umezu, was shocked for a long time and did not dare to answer. Such words would be too rebellious. If they were passed back to the country and let His Majesty know, there would definitely be no good ending.
The next morning the Japanese heavy artillery brigade was annihilated.
The 7 columns of the 36th Group Army Group have successively restored several major cities outside Shenyang. At this time, the 36th Group Army Group has a total of 7 columns, hundreds of thousands of people, more than one thousand tanks, nearly two thousand armored vehicles, and a large number of off-road vehicles and heavy artillery have reached the designated position.
The hundreds of thousands of troops of the 36th Army have formed a huge encirclement circle, surrounding Shenyang. The closest troops of the 36th Army are less than 30 kilometers away from Shenyang, and the farthest troops will not exceed 50 or 60 kilometers.
A huge encirclement has been formed, and the Japanese around Chenyang and its surroundings have already become wings and cannot escape.
The Japanese reinforcements had exceeded 200,000 and had already moved south from Changchun. Most of the troops were almost approaching Siping. The puppet Manchukuo army also dispatched more than 100,000 people to follow the Japanese reinforcements south.
However, hundreds of thousands of reinforcements from the Japanese were firmly blocked by the 4th Column and the ** Division. Starting yesterday, the blocking battle in Liulin Town was extremely fierce.
The Japanese received an order to go south to reinforce at all costs. The Japanese relied on their large numbers to attack the defense line of Liulin Town with no chance.
There were 6 infantry regiments in Liulin Town, plus a ** Division Artillery Regiment. The soldiers blocked the Japanese for almost 20 hours and destroyed another 20,000 to 30,000.
Among them, the ** Division's vehicle-mounted howitzer artillery regiment carried out several violent artillery bombardments on the Japanese attacking team. At present, the ** Division's artillery regiment almost all its shells were fired and is now retreating to Siping.
The six infantry regiments stationed at the Liulin Town defense line were under great pressure against so many Japanese devils, and they suffered a lot of casualties. The Japanese devils were like crazy, and they were completely charged on a large scale at all costs.
Now, the soldiers in Liulin Town are fighting and retreating as they follow the instructions of their superiors. The soldiers suffered heavy casualties. In order to reduce casualties, the soldiers are gradually retreating to Siping as required.
Siping.
A huge line of defense has been formed. In the past few days, the soldiers have built a large number of fortifications. Tens of thousands of people from the 4th Column and the ** Division have formed a huge line of defense of 20 to 30 kilometers in and around Siping.
Many small highlands around Siping have been built by soldiers with a large number of fortifications, and a large number of soldiers are on standby there, preparing to block the Japanese.
Datong, the 36th Army Command.
Today's command center is extremely busy. With the seven columns attacking Chenyang, hundreds of thousands of troops entered the designated positions one after another. The war is about to break out. In the command center, the soldiers are busy and working in an orderly manner.
In addition, the 4th Column and the ** Division that blocked the Japanese to the south kept sending telegrams to report the war situation.
Command Hall.
Several senior executives of the 36th Army, Zhang Yunfei, Zuo Qingquan, Deng Wenping, Fang Zheng, Liu Dazhu and others were all present. Although the war was about to begin, everyone's expressions were relatively relaxed.
Everything on the front line is completely within everyone's expectations and under control.
"Commander-in-Chief, this time our seven columns and hundreds of thousands of troops surrounded and annihilated about 100,000 Japanese devils in Chenyang. I think we will end the battle in less than two days."
The deputy commander-in-chief Comrade Liu Dazhu was very optimistic and began to predict that the soldiers would end the battle in about two days.
Comrade Zuo Qingquan also laughed and said cheerfully: "Comrade-in-Chief, my idea is similar to Comrade Dazhu. We dispatched 7 columns to kill chickens."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yunfei also smiled slightly, "Comrades, it is natural for us to encircle and annihilate the Japanese devils in Chenyang, but now our 4th Column and ** Division are under a lot of pressure."
Now, the main task of the 4th Column and the ** Division is to block the Japanese from going south. The combined attacks of Japanese and Japanese from the Japanese combined have exceeded 300,000.
Fortunately, the 200,000 Japanese soldiers who went south to reinforce were killed by tens of thousands, and the remaining Japanese soldiers still had more than 100,000, which was about twice the total number of the 4th Column and the ** Division.
As for the more than 100,000 Japanese troops, they were directly ignored by everyone. The combat effectiveness of these Japanese troops is one level lower than that of Japanese troops.
Speaking of the 4th Column and the ** Division, Comrade Zuo Qingquan immediately remembered the telegram sent not long ago, so Comrade Zuo Qingquan said with some confusion: "The Commander-in-Chief, the 4th Column and the ** Division both sent a telegram. The telegram said that among the Japanese devils who were beaten to death by the soldiers, there were many children and elderly people. Is this really a bit strange?"
Comrade Zuo Qingquan has been dealing with the Japanese devils for several years, but has never encountered such a situation before. He is a little confused and puzzled.
Hearing this, Zhang Yunfei smiled and said, "Old Zuo, this is nothing strange. The little Japan is just a small country with limited military resources. In order to achieve their so-called co-prosperity of Greater East Asia, the total number of Japanese troops has reached several million, and the divisions planned to be built has reached more than 160, including many ** mixed brigades and auxiliary infantry.
How many Japanese people are there? According to our statistics, the total population of Japanese Japanese is only about 70 million, but in Japan, more than 8 million people have been mobilized to join the army. If the Japanese expand the size of their troops, they will have to recruit their children and elderly people."
Zhang Yunfei was completely correct. At this time, Japan had already collected more than 8 million troops, of which more than one million died in battle. Almost half of the Japanese were annihilated by the 36th Army. At present, the Japanese still have about 6 million troops.
The Japanese army had more than 6 million troops, and the navy accounted for almost half, reaching more than 2.4 million people, followed by the Japanese army in Southeast Asia, with more than 2 million people. In addition, there were several Japanese army in China, such as the Central China Front Army, the South China Front Army, etc., plus the Kwantung Army (there was less than 600,000 at this time, and more than 100,000 people had been annihilated by the 36th Army). The Japanese still had more than one million people in China.
People with a total population of more than one-tenth of Japan have been recruited into the army, and this proportion is absolutely terrible.
At this time, China's population reached 400 million or 500 million, but the total number of armed forces in China may be less than that of the Japanese.
After hearing Zhang Yunfei's words, several senior executives of the 36th Army took a breath and thought to themselves that the country of Little Japan is simply crazy and terrible.
It's really a lack of human heart! Such a little man is like going crazy, attacking and invading the surrounding countries. Even the powerful United States and the Japanese are attracted by it. The people in power in Japan are really crazy.
