Chapter 625 - Strengthening Air Defense
"So, the vanguard army has surrounded the Soviet Russian army at the outer gate?" The commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, Yamada Otozo, held the information in his hand and put it down after a long time.
"The vanguard army is extremely cunning, and I think this time the 300,000 troops of Soviet Russia should not be spared." Although Kenji Dohihara's voice was sharp and thin, the tone of his words was very affirmative.
Now, in addition to the three northeastern provinces, the rest of China is only Guangzhou and parts of Guangxi, which are occupied by people, and that place has made the soil fertilizer yuan useless. As the highest-ranking intelligence officer who had fought with the Vanguard Army for the longest time, he was disabled and wounded and returned to China for a period of time, and was sent to the puppet Manchurian to preside over intelligence against China and the Soviet Union.
Yamada Otozo's expression was a little complicated, and he glanced at the information again. It's the latest information, but it's already circulating. Many people knew that the Russians suffered a great loss, and the army of the expedition to the outer gate was surrounded by the vanguard army.
The speed with which the news spread is suspicious. However, after analyzing and judging all kinds of intelligence, those people in the General Staff of the Kwantung Army felt that the current situation of the Soviet Russian Expeditionary Force was indeed very bad, and this information had a certain degree of credibility. Only Kenji Tsuchihara and others are extremely sure.
"These people have suffered a lot at the hands of the Vanguard Army!" Yamada Otozo scanned the list in his heart and sighed in his heart.
His predecessor, Umezu Mijiro, had been impeached early because of the occupation of many territories in puppet Manchuria by the vanguard army, but at this time people had realized the strength of the vanguard army, so Umezu Mijiro still stayed in the position of commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army for a while. It wasn't until with the change of the southbound policy that Hideki Tojo began to enter the cabinet. Yamada Otozo, Tojo Hideki's subordinate who bowed down to his ears, became a pawn used by Tojo Hideki to control the puppet Manchurians, and transferred the puppet Manchurians, a territory that people paid more attention to.
After the defeat in China, they had to retreat from the puppet Manchurians and open up a southward passage. Among them, the importance of the puppet Manchurian has been greatly increased, even if the army has drawn many troops to deploy the southward strategy, but the puppet Manchurian territory still has a large number of Kwantung Army, more than the number of troops in the mainland. Hideki Tojo was a newcomer in the Kwantung Army, so naturally he would not let go of the opportunity to control here. In the game of several forces, he finally got his wish and occupied this strategic place that supplied various resources such as local coal, grain, and steel, and stabilized his voice in the cabinet.
Umezu Mijiro took a heel in the vanguard army, and several generals in the country also fell at the feet of the vanguard army, although Yamada Otozo did not have much contact with the vanguard army, but his heart was full of vigilance. It's just that the Soviet Russians are strong, and he still has a deep understanding of it when he served as a subordinate of Hideki Tojo in the Kwantung Army, but such a powerful Soviet Russian army, and it is still 300,000, how can it be made dumplings by the Chinese people all of a sudden?
"It is necessary to apply to the mainland to increase the deployment of anti-aircraft artillery in Manchuria, and in addition, it is necessary to increase the number of new fighters to prevent a large-scale airborne raid on us by the vanguard army!" Kenji Dohihara spoke again.
"Airborne!" Yamada Otozo also ticked this combat method in his heart a long time ago. People were the first to understand the airborne tactics of the vanguard army, and from the time the vanguard army landed at Shanhaiguan, Beiping was all planted on the airborne behind the vanguard army. Even Kenji Dohihara's unforgettable Battle of Nanjing, it was the kind of strange aircraft that landed at night and raided the headquarters, which led to the paralysis of Nanjing's high-level command system and a rapid rout.
It's just that at that time, people learned about airborne landings at the regimental and brigade level, and Soviet Russia was unlucky enough to encounter large-scale airborne landings at the vanguard army and division level.
"The air power of the vanguard army is really strong!" Thinking of tens of thousands of people parachuting into the air from a long distance, Yamada Otozo couldn't help but shudder in his heart, and said in his heart: "In this way, I'm afraid that the Manchurian region is full of defensive loopholes." If the Vanguard planes had flown farther, I am afraid that the local defenses would have been a mess for them. If they are airborne on the Empire's own territory, then ......"
He found that he couldn't think about it anymore, and if it really came to that situation, I was afraid that it would be a catastrophe. The mainland has drawn a large number of troops to protect the puppet Manchurians and the next southward operation, resulting in a further emptiness in the defenses. Many areas are simply undefended, and once the air is broken through by the vanguard army, all deployments will be vulnerable.
He thought of the previous air raid and bombing of Kyushu by the vanguard army, and he couldn't help but shudder in his heart again.
"Well, the deployment of defenses in the air must be strengthened!" He nodded subconsciously.
β¦β¦
"The deployment of defenses in the air must be strengthened!" Almost at the same moment, Lao Jiang in Chongqing also gave an order.
"We don't have enough anti-aircraft weapons!" Qian Dajun proposed heartily.
When the people of Chongqing were celebrating the victories of the vanguard army in Waimen G with firecrackers, Lao Jiang, who was still happy just now, suddenly realized his crisis.
Since the vanguard army can parachute into division-sized troops at one time, then I am afraid that the lofty mountains and mountains of Sichuan will not be able to stop their pace of conquest. As long as 100,000 vanguard troops are parachuted into the Sichuan Basin, I am afraid that with the help of those people who are committed to the vanguard army, the entire central army can be disarmed.
Lao Chiang would never think that the vanguard army would only be external. Surprise attacks often occur at the most unexpected times, and although the vanguard army is fighting with the Russians at this time, they still have the strength to fight another war at home.
"You must not take Meng Ribai lightly!" Lao Jiang suddenly thought of the biography of Kenji Dohihara and the experience of Xi'an, and he couldn't help but feel even more terrified. Immediately raised the alert in the air to a higher standard.
"We can't pin all our hopes on the bulky and huge radar stations that the vanguard army has transported to Sichuan, we must have our own air alert system!" Although Lao Jiang didn't know that those so-called radar stations had already begun to produce weapons, he couldn't believe the gifts sent by the vanguard army at this time, so he had to find another way.
"It is necessary to strengthen the manpower of day and night air vigilance, set up more observation posts, and not let go of any suspicious targets." Lao Jiang instructed.
Radar is a cutting-edge technology in the world at this time, whether it is the British or others, this thing is used for the defense of their own territory, where will it be supplied to Lao Chiang? However, the conditions are insufficient, and cheap human resources can still replace some of the functions of the machine, and even the telescope is not available, relying on countless pairs of naked eyes and countless ears to search the entire sky.
"Then contact the copycat company and the umbrella company, and use pig bristles, tung oil, lacquer, etc. to buy more anti-aircraft artillery! Note that these guns should be placed in important locations, not randomly! Lao Chiang instructed again, a little annoyed in his heart, that the few anti-aircraft weapons in the army in the past should have been placed in strategic locations, but they were placed near the residences of those dignitaries. Later, with the bombardment of people being cut off by the vanguard army, this phenomenon became less common.
Qian Dajun's face was respectful, and he carefully wrote down these instructions, but he smiled bitterly in his heart. I am afraid that Lao Chiang's residence, office and other places will be the key deployment locations of anti-aircraft artillery, but other officials will not come to grab anti-aircraft artillery this time. Because there is no need. In the past, people threw bombs regardless of it, and everyone naturally took care of themselves first. Now there is a threat to the vanguard army, which is a big threat to Lao Jiang, but it doesn't matter to others, and even when the opportunity comes, change the door and change the court, you can go to the next level, who is afraid of the beheading of the vanguard army? It's a big deal to surrender to sincerity, anyway, the vanguard army has always been very lenient in its policy towards domestic people.
"Alas, I hope there will be no trouble in the country!" Qian Dajun sighed in his heart.
"Tell Dai Li, let those people not make too much trouble, after all, the front is still fighting the Russians. In any case, family affairs and state affairs should be separated! Lao Jiang pondered for a moment before he was a little tired.
Qian Dajun knew that he was working with the hidden spies and the old forces instigated in the areas occupied by the vanguard army, and with the popularization of various reform policies of the vanguard army, the interests of many comprador capital, bureaucratic capital, and local feudal forces were damaged. Although they all have a great say in the local area, they have to give in in the face of the heavy pressure of the vanguard army. However, with the collusion of other forces such as the Central Party, the destructiveness of this force began to unfold.
In this regard, Lao Jiang hesitated for a long time, and finally chose to postpone.
"Let them continue to gather strength for better opportunities in the future." Lao Jiang can only use this excuse to convince himself and others who are unwilling.
β¦β¦
"Those people are getting more and more excessive, and as a result, many people have been arrested!" On Jinggang Mountain, the news around Wei Ren, who had revisited the old place, did not lag down much, and some of the news was widely known to everyone.
"They can't see the situation clearly, and now the country is supporting the vanguard army to regain the outer gate, and their actions at this time are undoubtedly setting themselves on fire!" Wei Ren smoked a Victory brand cigarette and sighed, "The vanguard army has the righteousness of the national war, and it uses those means of the law, so it can't be said that it is aimed at our party alone!" β
He was silent for a moment, took a long puff of smoke and said: "The concept of state and nation will continue to exist for a long time, and now is not the time for the world to be united. Tell our comrades to be patient, continue to gather strength and wait for better opportunities. β
"So, what about those people?" Qiao Lin next to him was very unaccustomed to some of the pro-Soviet factions, and Wei Ren's departure was partly to jump out of the deadlock in Yanbei, and partly to avoid these people.
"It's going to rain, my mother is going to get married, let them go!" roοΌ
