Chapter 189: The Great Cause of Entering the North
Now on Reinhard's desk, there are two pieces of information placed side by side.
An intelligence report showed that Timoshenko finally penetrated Poland's eastern defense line early this morning after mobilizing a large number of air forces to continuously bomb the eastern Polish defense line.
From the moment he broke through the defense line, Timoshenko finally displayed the momentum befitting a Soviet general. Under his command, at least 100,000 Soviet troops poured into the breach in the defense line and quickly spread to both wings.
.At this pace, Timoshenko will be able to destroy all remaining defensive areas on the Polish army's eastern border in half a day.
Another piece of intelligence on the table was even more meaningful. The intelligence showed that the Japanese Kwantung Army was launching a large-scale attack in the Nomenkan area, and its leading troops had already breached the Mongolian border.
After getting the information, Reinhard breathed a sigh of relief. Those stupid Japanese finally took the bait.
When the Soviet army finally defeated the Polish frontier army, the Kwantung Army's sneak attack could be said to have brought a disgusting trouble to Stalin. Although judging from the Soviet Union's national and military strength, the Kwantung Army's sneak attack was far from reaching the level of
To the point of setting fire to the Soviet Union's backyard, but fighting on two fronts and being attacked from both sides cannot be a happy thing.
Stalin was in a bad mood. Reinhardt, who was watching the excitement, was naturally in a good mood. He quickly called to his confidential secretary and said: "Have someone bring me a cup of coffee with more sugar. And tell Ribbentrop for me."
, just say that Germany calls on the Soviet Union and Japan to exercise restraint and make correct decisions that are responsible for their own people and regional peace."
How can you restrain yourself when both sides are fighting with real swords and guns? Isn’t this nonsense! The secretary looked at the gloating head of state with a strange expression, and suddenly understood what it meant to stand and talk without back pain.
Once these words are published, they will definitely be of no use in resolving the dispute between the Soviet Union and Japan. On the contrary, they will leave an impression on people around the world that Germany loves peace and advocates justice. After all, this quotation, which condenses the wisdom of Eastern diplomacy, has appeared for the first time in this era.
, and it comes from a German who speaks and does things strictly!
"Okay, Head of State. I'll do it right away." The secretary replied foolishly, but couldn't help sighing in his heart that he was still too young. On the other hand, the Head of State, who was also young, was always amazingly talented and brilliant in what he did.
Do something unexpected and say something that makes people worship you.
On the afternoon when the German Foreign Ministry called for peace between the Soviet Union and Japan, the Kwantung Army transferred the main force of the 6th Army from Hailar, which was originally scheduled to be deployed, and planned to launch a further fierce attack in order to complete all operations in Mongolia before the end of autumn.
military operations.
The Soviet commander Zhukov, who saw through the Japanese offensive intentions, rushed to open field military airports in Tamtsag, Prague, Sambes and other places, and gathered the surrounding Mongolian cavalry units to prepare for a large-scale decisive battle with the Japanese army.
............
"Your Excellency, General! Ogisu Ripei is yours. As long as you order an all-out attack, he will definitely obey." The person speaking now was Tsuji Masanobu, the major staff officer of the Japanese Kwantung Army who launched the entire Nomonkan campaign.
As a small major staff officer, Tsuji Masanobu actually promoted the entire process of the Nomonkan Battle. It must be said that he is still quite capable. After Ishihara Kanji, known as the "Wisdom of the Japanese Empire", stepped aside, Tsuji Masanobu
For a time, he became the mastermind of the Kwantung Army, which had a long-standing tradition of "subjugating the superior".
What is subordinates overcoming superiors, that is, subordinates give orders on behalf of superiors. This seems to be an unreasonable chaos in all military units, but it is a long-standing tradition in the Japanese army. Few foreigners can understand why the island country
Being so fond of playing the irrational tradition of "lower overcoming superior" is just like how few people can figure out where the island country got the courage to threaten to annex the majestic China in three months.
Speaking of which, Masanobu Tsuji has always regarded Kanji Ishihara, who has now stepped aside, as his "spiritual mentor."
However, except for Tsuji Masanobu's boldness, it is difficult to compare with Ishihara Kanji in other aspects.
In addition to his boldness, Ishihara Kanji also had extraordinary insight and calm analytical skills, but Tsuji Masanobu was only arrogant and crazy in addition to his boldness. He was obsessed with the fantasy that "the Soviet army was vulnerable" and was impatient.
Wanted to provoke a war against the Soviet Union.
Facing this fanatical admirer of the "Northern Advance" strategy, Sugiyama Moto, who was sitting on the sofa, said worriedly: "But the Soviet army's weapons and equipment are much better than ours, and the pressure from Lieutenant General Ogisu Rihei is also
It’s very big.”
"Admiral!" Masanobu Tsuji said with a fanatical look: "Soldiers of the Empire of Japan have the Bushido spirit that can make them stronger, and they have a strong will. The Soviet army is not our opponent at all!"
There seems to be a reason for Tsuji Masanobu's superstition.
First of all, speaking personally, he has been a superstitious believer in "spiritual omnipotence" since he was a student. Later, when he was studying at the Japanese Army University, in order to study hard, he did not sleep for more than five hours for three whole years.
He relied on lying on his desk and taking a nap for two or three hours every day to resist, and relied on this perseverance to obtain the status of the top graduate.
Therefore, in the eyes of a Japanese academic like Tsuji Masanobu, the Soviet army's weapons and equipment were much better than Japan's, and it was nothing at all!
Seeing that Sugiyama Gen was still hesitant, Tsuji Masanobu gave an example: "Your Excellency, according to the information provided by the Germans, the Soviet government shot three marshals and three first-level army generals because of the large number of spies they had planted.
There are 12 second-level army-level generals, 60 corps commanders, 136 division commanders and countless brigade commanders.”
After hearing what Tsuji Masanobu said, Sugiyama Yuan's eyes lit up and he said: "You mean..."
"Yes, the quality of Soviet officers has dropped significantly!" Masanobu Tsuji smiled confidently: "Up to now in the Polish campaign, Germany has almost reached Warsaw, but nearly a million Soviet troops are still fighting on the Soviet-Polish border.
Isn’t this the best proof of the Soviet army’s combat effectiveness?”
"Souga!" Sugiyama Yuan touched his mustache and nodded: "So the army of our Empire of Japan has always been known for its well-trained troops. Now the decline in the quality of the army caused by the Soviet Union's self-destruction of the Great Wall is exactly what
This gives us the best opportunity to defeat the Soviet army."
Sugiyama Gen's words are different from Tsuji Masanobu's vague spiritual victory method. The basis for his judgment is based on the Japanese army's title of "the strongest infantry in World War II during World War II." In addition, the Kwantung Army was originally among the elite of the Japanese army.
Elite, the combat quality is the best among the Japanese army!
In addition, Sugiyama Gen also won the 1st Tank Division for Ogisu Rihei, which was hailed as a "national treasure" by the Japanese army. As the only tank division in Japan, the 1st Tank Division is all equipped with Japanese-style weapons as the main force.
Tanks (again, only Japan calls these medium tanks). With the only tank division that the whole country has never been willing to use, the Ogisu Rippei fighting on the front line can now be said to be the strongest in the entire Japanese army.
Great armor strength.
After much deliberation, Sugiyama Gen slammed the sofa: "Hey! In that case, I will now urge Ogisu Libing to launch a general offensive, defeat the Soviet-Mongolian coalition forces in one fell swoop, and realize the great cause of the northward advance!"
