Chapter 376 Ishihara’s opinion

In early December, the Japanese Ninth and Tenth Divisions finally arrived on the battlefield on the banks of the Yalu River! Along with the Ninth and Tenth Divisions came the Army Air Force from Japan.

What came next were two flying teams!

The Japanese Air Force had not been launched until its defeat in World War II. - Net. They were attached to the Navy and Army, respectively, and were called "Naval Air Force" and "Army Air Force", but the aircraft of a team were not organized according to the organization.

few!

According to the establishment of the Japanese army, a flying team consists of the team headquarters and 3 flying squadrons. For bombers: 9 aircraft per squadron, 9x3 = 27 aircraft; for fighter aircraft: 12 aircraft per squadron, 12x3 = 36 aircraft; this is

Basic figures. In the case of fighter jets, each squadron consists of 12 front and rear operators and 70 front and rear maintainers and other ground crew members.

Calculated in this way, one team has 63 bombers and fighter jets! And the two flying teams have 126 aircraft! Among them, there are 72 fighter jets and 54 bombers!

After the signing of the Shanghai agreement, the 11th and 14th divisions originally planned to be sent to Shanghai will terminate their operations in Shanghai! At the same time, they will fight towards the Yalu River, trying to break through from the Yalu River and directly kill Fengtian!

In Shanghai, the 24th Japanese mixed brigade was formed, and the Third Navy Fleet was stationed. The Nanjing government did not respond to the deployment of troops by the Japanese army. Although the whole country continued to protest, countless people asked the Nanjing government to provide support to Manchuria.

But the entire government chose to pretend to be dead. Even the planned meeting to commemorate the soldiers of the 19th Route Army was postponed indefinitely. The 19th Route Army was deployed to Fujian Province to garrison and suppress bandits. Of course,

, it was the red bandits who were suppressed.

And just when the two divisions of the Japanese army reached the banks of the Yalu River, Tu Qianjun's troops had already arrived at the position! Along with Tu Qianjun, there were also the First and Second Army of the National Defense Forces and the entire Northeast that had come out.

air force!

After the First Battle of the Yalu River, Chen Haihua requested to set up a temporary airport in Dandong to better support the battlefield. This request was agreed by Zhou Tuolong and Guo Zixuan of the Fourth Army.

Therefore, Guo Zixuan organized the local gentry in Dandong and the soldiers recuperating in Dandong to open a temporary airport as quickly as possible. More than 20 P-26s and the remaining bi-wing fighters and bombers of the Northeast Air Force all implemented the conversion

field!

There are now at least fifty fighter jets gathered at the airport in Dandong County! They are specially used to support the Yalu River War. After learning that the Japanese army will send two flying squadrons, Air Force Commander Chen Haihua gritted his teeth and asked Zhou Tuolong and the others to build one more

At the airport, he deployed the few thirty fighter jets he had left and headed there again!

In Fengtian City, Commander Chen Haihua glared at the "buzz~buzz~buzz" fighter jets taking off with red eyes and kept murmuring: "Damn it! I can't do it! I can't do it! You can't do it!"

Don’t even think about having an easy life for a ****! Don’t let anyone live! Let’s see who kills the other…”

This batch of aircraft is also the only one of the last batch of aircraft in the National Defense Forces Air Force that can fight the Japanese army. The rest are old-fashioned aircraft left over from World War I. They will only be used as target drones in the sky!

Chen Haihua naturally knew this in his heart, so he did not send out those planes. Instead, he sent out those fighter jets that he thought could fight the Japanese army, and the rest of the planes stayed. And the ones sent were all with a year's experience.

Veteran pilots with above driving experience! These people can be regarded as the essence of the Air Force. If they lose all of them, Chen Haihua will definitely feel distressed to death!

But the war has already reached this point, can the National Defense Force retreat?! Can the Air Force retreat?! At this time, there is no way to retreat! Moreover, the National Defense Force and the newly established Air Force have no intention of retreating, either!

Or! I will die in the battle!

This is the only thought of all the officers and soldiers of the entire National Defense Force! With this thought, the First, Second and Fourth Army gathered on the banks of the Yalu River! As for the Third Army stationed in Shanhaiguan, except for one division stationed in Huludao

One division was stationed at Shanhaiguan. (--.net.) The remaining division also followed!

This was the decision Junzi made after receiving the arrival of two additional divisions that the Japanese army would send to participate in the Battle of Shanghai. The division of the Third Army that came to the rescue was personally led by Commander Tian Jixiang and Fatty Tian.

!

The newly formed air defense division, led by division commander Lu Shuai, also entered the battlefield. The original anti-aircraft guns were increased to 400! And the trenches and trenches everywhere were constantly being built, and anti-aircraft guns were pushed out one by one.

Entering the hidden position in the tunnel!

The artillery division directly under the legion also moved in, and artillery positions were constantly being built. Along with the train came boxes and boxes of guns and ammunition! All the artillery that had been left in the warehouse were brought out

, transported to the position!

The armored vehicles and tanks captured by the Japanese army in Fengtian were all installed in the armored divisions directly under the corps!

While the National Defense Force was preparing, the Japanese army was not idle! The commander-in-chief of this war was designated as former Japanese Army Minister General Shirakawa Yoshinori! And now, Lieutenant General Ueda Kenkichi of the 9th Division and Commander of the 10th Division

Lieutenant General Hirose Hisuke, and the Lieutenant General of the 20th Division were holding a pre-war meeting on the forward position.

"Kaneji Muro! I don't understand why you haven't taken this position yet!" Shirakawa Yoshinori looked at Kaneji Muro coldly and said in a deep voice: "Lin Xiansang gave you the air force.

With the support of heavy artillery, your results seem limited! And you also lost a large group of Imperial warriors! Isn't such a result extremely shameful for the Imperial people?!"

After hearing what Shirakawa Yoshinori said, Muro Kanetsi became nervous and stood up and said tremblingly to Shirakawa Yoshinori: "Hai!!"

In Japanese custom, it is extremely impolite to call other people by their first names! But now Yoshinori Shirakawa calls him by his full name and surname, Kanetsugu Shiro, which shows how angry Shirakawa Yoshinori is!

Seeing Muro Kaneji like this, Shirakawa Yoshinori softened his tone and said in a deep voice to Muro Kaneji: "In this battle, I will use your 20th Division as the main force! I hope you can make meritorious service and win the victory.

This position! Wash away the shame!!"

After hearing what Shirakawa Yoshinori said, Muro Kaneji couldn't help but stood up excitedly and responded loudly to Shirakawa Yoshinori: "Hai!! I will definitely live up to the commander-in-chief's trust! Muro Kaneji will do his best to be loyal to the empire!!"

After listening to Muro Kanetsugu's words, Shirakawa Yoshinori couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction. Then he said in a deep voice to Ishihara Wanji beside him: "Ishihara-san, how do you think we should proceed with this war?! After all, you are the one fighting in Manchuria.

The most familiar one. And this war started because of you, the Kwantung Army. I want to hear your opinion."

Kanji Ishihara was transferred back to the Japanese General Staff Headquarters before the National Defense Forces attacked Fengtian after September 18. This time, Shirakawa Yoshinori was about to attack Manchuria, so he was transferred from the General Staff Headquarters again to participate in the war.

Ishihara Kanji stood up immediately after hearing Shirakawa Yoshinori's words. For this former Prime Minister of Japan, one of the three outstanding figures of the first generation of Rishi, Ishihara Kanji has great respect! What's more, Shirakawa Yoshinori once served as the principal of Japan's Rishi.

, these qualifications made Ishihara Wanji have to respect this general.

"Commander-in-Chief, I feel that this battle may be the most difficult battle our Imperial Army has ever faced!" Ishihara smiled and stood up, facing Shirakawa Yoshinori and said in a deep voice: "This tiger, originally

We thought that he did not dare to attack us because we were not prepared for him at all. But what we didn't expect was that the Soviets actually backed down at the critical moment! This caused the tiger to come out of the cage, which caused such disastrous consequences.

!”

After hearing what Ishihara Wanji said, Shirakawa waved his hand impatiently and said to Ishihara Wanji: "I don't care where he came from, nor how it happened! What I want to know is, what should we do?

What can we do to turn this tiger into a dead tiger!"

Hearing what Shirakawa Yoshinori said, Ishihara Wanji couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Your Excellency, Commander, our biggest advantage has been lost now. In fact, my personal suggestion is to temporarily suspend the troops, but strive for the greatest rights and interests in the negotiation. If forced

If we start a war, even if we win, the losses will not be too small..."

"Makanoro!!" Then Shirakawa Yoshinori slammed the table with a "bang!" and roared at Ishihara Wanji: "Prince Kanguin fought for us in front of His Majesty the opportunity to expand the war.

Several of our divisions came to North Korea just to sign an agreement with that tiger?! Ishihara!! Are you an idiot?! Has a war already broken your courage?!"

Hearing Shirakawa Yoshinori's words, Ishihara Wanji couldn't help but stood at attention solemnly and responded loudly: "Hai!!"

Afterwards, Ishihara Wanji said in a deep voice to Shirakawa Yoshinori: "But if the commander-in-chief insists on going to war, then please allow us to wait until the Soviet army sends troops! Although Doihara-san has been crushed by the empire, our liaison officer is still

Yes! I have asked the former liaison officer to go to the Soviet Union and ask them to send troops!"

As he said that, Ishihara Kanji said in a deep voice to Shirakawa Yoshinori: "If the Soviet Union sends troops from Outer Mongolia, our pressure will be greatly reduced. Moreover, the threat and morale of the tiger on the opposite side will be a serious blow. The Soviet Union

People have always been worried about the Middle East Route, but now our imperial troops are gathered here! The war situation has become clear, and I believe the Soviets will consider sending troops! As long as the Soviets send troops, our pressure will be reduced drastically.

!”

After hearing Ishihara Wanji's statement, Shirakawa Yoshinori nodded with satisfaction.

"Ishihara! This is like the Ishihara who is known as the 'wisdom of the Kwantung Army'! Remember! The Imperial People will not be knocked down by any failure. For us! What we want to see is only

There is victory!!”

"Hai!! Ishihara only follows the commander's instructions!!" Ishihara smiled solemnly and said to Shirakawa Yoshinori, but he was smiling bitterly in his heart! Can we win...
