"To allocate so many divisions from North China to the southeastern coastal areas to defend the US military, the military strength in North China will be greatly affected, reducing the defense power of important local cities and transportation. This actually creates opportunities for the underground party troops.
"Chen Mingxiang said.
This question is also to gather information for the underground party. The Shancheng Government is the heavily armed group of Shaanxi Province in North China. In other places, it can be said that there are no soldiers. The adjustment of the strength of the North China Front Army has no effect on the Shancheng Government.
How meaningful.
Look at the government troops in the mountain city near the Yanzhou base area. Hundreds of thousands of people are staring at the underground party. How great would it be to have so many regular troops drawn out to fight the Japanese army?
"Since the Philippine troops cannot resist the US military, the base camp must naturally consider the security of the southeastern coastal areas and have to make such adjustments. Our entire dispatched army is currently too scattered. Of course, before mobilizing troops stationed in various places, there must be corresponding measures.
remedial measures.”
"According to the arrangements of the base camp, the dispatched army will gradually establish 13 independent mixed brigades and 13 independent guard teams as local security forces after the main force is transferred." Kawamoto Yoshitaro said.
On February 10th, the 12th Japanese Field Replenishment Team was organized into the 92nd independent mixed brigade and joined the battle order of the 12th Army. On February 20th, that is, yesterday,
The Japanese Army's Fourth Field Replenishment Team, organized into the 90th independent mixed brigade, has joined the battle order of the Thirteenth Army Headquarters and will be stationed in Guangling.
Of the eleven independent mixed brigades at the back, eight are for the Japanese Sixth Front Army, which are taken over by the two military-level headquarters of the Japanese Twentieth Army and the Eleventh Army respectively. The remaining three brigades are for the Japanese Sixth Front.
Thirty-fourth Army.
In this troop mobilization, more than half of the main force of the North China Front was removed. The occupied area was mainly responsible for the independent garrison, which will be gradually organized into the third to the fourteenth independent garrison, whose organization is equivalent to an independent infantry brigade.
Among them, the Third Independent Garrison was under the direct jurisdiction of the North China Front Army Headquarters, the Fourth Independent Garrison joined the battle order of the Inner Mongolia Army, and the Fifth Independent Garrison joined the battle order of the Japanese First Army in Shaanxi Province.
The 13th and 14th Independent Guard Corps joined the battle order of the Japanese 43rd Army Headquarters in Quancheng, which was composed of the 59th Infantry Division as the backbone in March.
The 11th and 12th Independent Guard Corps joined the battle order of the 20th Army Headquarters, and the rest were given to the Japanese 12th Army Headquarters.
Lieutenant General Nagatsu Sahiki also introduced Lieutenant General Tokawa Jiro and Chief of Staff Major General Kudo Ryoichi of the Japanese Sixth Army Headquarters to Chen Mingxiang. Hangzhou was a very important material distribution center for Chen Mingxiang, and he had to deal with the Sixth Army.
"Tokawa-kun, Kudo-kun, this is Chen Mingxiang, the head of Huatong Trading Company, a material trading agency affiliated to the Dispatch Force Management Department. It is currently under the jurisdiction of the Thirteenth Army Headquarters and the Military Police Headquarters in Shanghai. He is currently in charge of the Jinling Government
As a political councilor and police chief, he made great contributions to the empire and was awarded the second-class Ruibao Shigeko Order by His Majesty the Emperor," said Nagatsu Sahishige.
"Although we have never met, we have heard of Chen Jun's name for a long time. The Kwantung Army's chief of staff, Colonel Isao Takeda, the manager, Major General Yoshitake Furuno, the commander of the military police, Kato Tomarijiro, and Genzo Yanagida of the Ice City Secret Service Headquarters
Major General and others mentioned Chen Jun when they were in the Sixth Army, and he also provided a large amount of supplies to the Kwantung Army. Thank you for meeting him!" Tokawa Jiro said with a smile.
Lieutenant General Tokawa Jiro once served as the commander of the dispatched gendarmerie in Central China. Naturally, he was very enthusiastic about Chen Mingxiang, a direct descendant of the gendarmerie system.
Through chatting, Chen Mingxiang also learned that after the Sixth Army headquarters moved to Hangzhou, in addition to assigning Lieutenant General Takayuki Uchida's 70th Division to the Sixth Army's battle order, the 70th Division and the 70th Division would also have to be transferred to Hangzhou.
The 65th Division transferred part of its troops to form the 133rd Division and entered the battle sequence of the Sixth Army.
The 133rd Division is permanently stationed in Hangzhou. The division commander is Lieutenant General Kahei Nochi. It consists of the 99th Infantry Brigade and the 100th Infantry Brigade, each with four infantry brigades.
In addition, in accordance with the instructions from the base camp, on February 25th, the dispatched troops will be organized into the 62nd independent brigade, the 89th independent brigade, and the 91st independent brigade.
Order of battle of Sixth Army.
In addition to the Sixth Army, the 131st Division, headed by Lieutenant General Tatsuji Ogura, was also formed at the same time. It was based in Shaozhou, and the 132nd Division was headed by Lieutenant General Toshi Yanagawa.
Stationed in Dangyang.
In order to strengthen the combat firepower against the US military, the base camp assigned five independent anti-tank gun squadrons, two field artillery brigades and four mortar brigades to the troops directly under each army.
The information obtained tonight made Chen Mingxiang, who had received professional training, feel dizzy. The amount of information was too great, and the number of new Japanese troops was beyond imagination.
"With the addition of so many new troops, not only has the strength of the dispatched troops been greatly improved, but the defensive strength of the southeastern coastal areas has also been greatly enhanced. Even if the US military lands on the coast, I believe they will fall into the quagmire of field battles and be defeated.
Drag him to death." Chen Mingxiang said.
"In the eyes of ordinary people, it does look like what you said, but what is the reality? We are all old friends, and I will tell you the truth. Although there are many newly added troops, most of them are new recruits, and some are still
He has just grown up, has not received strict military training at all, and knows nothing about combat."
"The empire's economic and military resources cannot support so many troops. The weapons and equipment needed in a short period of time. Some troops have to use captured weapons from the mountain city government troops, a large number of independent mixed brigades and independent guards, and even artillery.
No."
"From the time a recruit enters the army to become a qualified soldier with actual combat capabilities, it requires at least a year of running-in period and two to three actual combat experiences. These recruits are not even accurate at shooting, and their fighting ability and
Not to mention the tactical ability, the dispatched troops are worried from top to bottom." Kawamoto Yoshitaro shook his head and said.
This is the negative impact of the war. There is a serious shortage of soldiers. Due to economic and industrial strength, as well as the lack of various materials, the manufacturing of weapons and equipment is also in trouble.
Even the most basic rifles, Japan's own Type 38 rifles and Type 99 rifles, cannot meet the needs of the troops, similar to light machine guns, heavy machine guns, grenades and mortars, let alone
.
The Japanese army also seized a large number of guns, ammunition and artillery during the battle with the Yamacheng government forces. They were originally intended to be equipped to puppet troops in various places. However, due to the lack of resources, they had to equip these weapons with the newly formed Japanese troops.
