In fact, there are problems with the low morale of the Central China dispatched troops, and some expatriates in Japan have long reflected this problem, but some senior generals in the army do not admit it. For these senior generals, if they admit that their troops have low combat effectiveness, is there anything more embarrassing than this? If you want to be promoted and make money in the future, you dream of it. How good is that? Isn’t the army just comparing combat effectiveness? No matter how important other things are, they are useless.

General Matsui Ishione was most afraid of this matter. Originally, the North China Expeditionary Army was at the bottom of the bottom. Now the North China Expeditionary Army has been laid off. The most important part of the elite troops have entered their own army. What we have to do now is to rely on this part of the support to cheer up their Central China Expeditionary Army, so that they know that the Central China Expeditionary Army is the most important Japanese army in the entire China. Whether it is the Japanese base camp or the Kanto Army, as long as they have the remaining materials, they will support us. We will also replace the cannons in the future, and a steady stream of resources will come. We will defeat the Central China Army in this place and become the first Japanese army to capture the capital of China.

To be honest, when the Japanese army first entered the central China region, they were indeed highly morale, especially the 5,000 Marines resisted the attack of the 40,000 to 50,000 Central Army, and were also the elites of the Central Army, all of which were well-known German divisions. At that time, they were really very morale, but later they could not capture for a long time, and they encountered a team like the Security Corps and even brought elites like the Thirteenth Division. The soldiers of the Central China Expeditionary Army were covered with a shadow in their hearts. No matter how elite their army was, they were only elite in the Thirteenth Division, but the Thirteenth Division was defeated in the security regiment's army, let alone them.

"Commander, my subordinates told you before that our army lacks heavy artillery. I wonder if the base camp has sent us support this time?" The division commander of the 107th Division said that in the previous attack, their Japanese army was actually fired back by Chinese artillery. It was not the artillery of the security regiment, but the artillery of the Chinese Central Army. The Chinese Central Army purchased fifteen 150mm howitzers from the security regiment. Such things can be called the country's heavy weapon on the battlefield of the Shanghai region. This kind of thing directly hit the Japanese artillery fire so that they could not find the north. The Japanese directly used 105mm artillery, and the number was not as good as that of others.

Speaking of artillery issues, the people who were originally chatting in the room immediately shut up and looked at General Matsui Ishione. At this time, they were also the most concerned issue. The army's main support equipment was artillery, especially large-caliber heavy artillery. At the beginning of the war, why could the Chinese army beat the Chinese army to the point of urination? It was because these Japanese people had heavy hands, but the Chinese people did not.

Prince Hirohiko Asakamami has been shut down at this time. Don’t you want to gather manpower? Are you thinking of bringing these people to war? Now the most concerned issue is that the artillery and ammunition support is supported. It depends on whether you can. Prince Hirohiko Asakamami knows the result.

General Matsui Ishione asked many people in Japan for heavy artillery at the meeting at the base camp. Unfortunately, the army thought differently from this one. As long as the soldiers were brave and did not have artillery support, this is the answer given to them by the Army Department, so they transported a large number of light artillery. Although these things can work, they are somewhat different from heavy artillery.

If the Central Army had no artillery in the past, their Type 92 Infantry Cannons, the 75 Mountain Cannons and other small artillery were still OK, but the problem is that the Central Army now also has artillery, which is even a little more violent than yours. They even transported 150mm howitzers. If you use such small artillery to greet them, it will definitely be worse than others. Moreover, when fighting, it will also be a huge blow to the morale of the soldiers.

"Cough cough." General Matsui Ishione coughed. To be honest, he really didn't know how to answer his subordinates. He also understood that if there were no heavy artillery, the army would have to pay a discount when attacking.

"Dear everyone about artillery issues. When I returned to the base camp for a meeting, I had already mentioned this issue with the Army and the General Equipment Department. However, everyone is very familiar with the situation in our country. Now the country will soon launch a strategy of going south. At that time, the navy will be the top priority. Therefore, the country has put all steel on the navy. However, our brave soldiers can win even without artillery. I hope everyone can explain this to the warriors below. His Majesty the Emperor is still waiting for them to win in Tokyo.

As for the news, as long as the navy takes over Southeast Asia, we can have enough oil, rubber and various minerals. Of course, if we can take advantage of the opportunity to attack and capture Australia, then our steel will have inexhaustible raw materials. By then, it will be the time for our Japanese Empire to dominate the world." General Matsui Ishione said passionately. Unfortunately, the group of senior officers below did not yell with him as before, but instead clapped their hands as if they were to deal with the scene.

It is obvious that we are not fools. Of course we can hear what you mean. The main content is that you don’t want any weapons and ammunition when you return to Japan. All of these steel and other things are inclined to the navy. Don’t care how important the navy is, isn’t it important for our army? If there is no shell, you can only go up with meat and eggs. Can this meat fight against steel? If this is the case, what else should steel do? Those Bushido spirits are okay to boost morale. If all the Bushido spirits are relied on the real battlefield, then we can admit defeat now. A dozen soldiers may return to the west with a shell.
