In the case of a high probability of facing front and back attacks, it is really strange that Eitaro Uchiyama is not in a hurry. Although he knew that Chongqing and his current opponent might not have any cooperation on the battlefield. But at this time, Chongqing is preparing to counterattack Yudong, and for him, there is indeed a feeling of thorns in his back.

However, he was already exhausted from dealing with the battlefield in central Hebei, and he was really unable to deploy troops to increase the defense of the eastern Henan region. The only thing that could be done at the moment was to send telegrams of reinforcements like snowflakes to Tokyo, Nanjing, and Jinan. Whether it is the current critical situation in the entire Jizhong battlefield, or the small actions frequently made by the first war zone behind it, it makes Uchiyama Eitaro anxious.

It was during the Battle of Normenheim, when the Japanese Army first understood what it means to fight in a modern army, what it means to charge in clusters of hundreds of tanks, and what it means to rain shells, which are less valuable than bullets. Eitaro Uchiyama, who served as the commander of the artillery of the Kwantung Army, was really given an old punch by the Soviet army, which was not strong in combat ability at that time and won purely by the number of steel.

He once commanded almost all the heavy artillery units of the Eastern Army, and the former artillery of the Kwantung Army who participated in the war. In the face of the overwhelming artillery fire of the Soviet army, the Japanese army was proud of its artillery on the Chinese battlefield, but there was almost no experience of fighting back, which made the former artillery commander of the Kwantung Army unforgettable. And the Soviet army dispatched the same overwhelming infantry that put the Japanese army into the tank troops directly submerged in the torrent of steel, which made him remember it even more.

Although I didn't think too much of the inferior tactical literacy shown by the Soviet army at that time. However, the torrent of tanks of the Soviet army back then, and the density of firepower used as bullets, made the commander of the artillery of the Kwantung Army at that time, who had raised his tail high, quickly converged. Compared with his colleagues who are empty-eyed, this old man who has had unforgettable pain is much more stable.

That battle made the former Kwantung Army artillery commander one of the few Japanese Army troops to have a modern opponent before the outbreak of the Pacific War. At the same time, among all the senior commanders of the Japanese army in that battle, Lieutenant General Uchiyama Eitaro was the only one who remained in the army, and he attached great importance to modern equipment.

In fact, as the commander of the artillery of the Kwantung Army that year, he did not agree with the decision of the commander of the 23rd Division, Komatsubara, to apologize for his crimes. He believes that no matter how the battle will end, Lieutenant General Komatsubara is one of the few generals in the entire Japanese Army who has fought with the Soviet Army in such a modern way and has always paid attention to firepower.

Of course, the Soviet army at that time did not perform as well as it should. Tactical literacy is generally quite inferior, and the ability to cooperate with multiple arms and tactical communication is extremely poor. In particular, the infantry and tan coordination tactics can almost be said to be extremely poor. When the tanks attacked, there was almost no infantry to cooperate. But after all, at least in terms of the number of heavy equipment, it was already the strongest opponent that the Japanese army encountered at that time.

On top of this firepower, hundreds of tanks can be dispatched to participate in the battle at a time, and the weapons and equipment are far from being comparable to the opponents of the Chinese army. For the first time since World War I, the Japanese Army fought against the most powerful opponent in the West. Regardless of success or failure, the experience gained is extremely valuable.

In order to hold him accountable, you can retire him from active duty. However, his own people forced him to death, but he sent a division commander with modern combat experience in the Japanese Army, who was the only one in the Japanese Army, to a dead end. It also completely cut off the Imperial Army and summed up the experience of confrontation with armored clusters. That was the experience of the Imperial Army on the battlefield of Normenhan, with tens of thousands of casualties.

It's good now, the opponent who used to look down on him has become completely stronger. The number and performance of the tanks put into operation far exceeded that of the Soviet army in Normenheim. The tactical literacy and multi-arm coordination ability also far exceeded that of the Soviet army back then. However, the Imperial Army personally destroyed the experience gained in the Battle of Normenheim that year against the Soviet armored clusters with flesh and blood.

In addition, the use of Yasushi Sakai, a mediocre talent, is a super loser who has almost no experience in anti-tank combat and experience in commanding tank cluster operations. The already small armored forces of the Imperial Army were cut off so much at once. As a result, on the current battlefield in Jizhong, there is almost no power to fight back against the enemy's armored offensive. If Lieutenant General Komatsubara hadn't had seppuku and had been commanded by him, I'm afraid this would never have been the result.

Uchiyama Eitaro believed that as long as the enemy's tank cluster offensive was contained, his troops on the Jizhong battlefield would still be able to hold their existing positions. However, the reality is that it is precisely against the enemy's tank cluster attack, and the various units participating in the battle on the front line have almost no way to deal with it except for the ineffective means of meat bullets.

The enemy army takes the tank as the lead, and if it wants to penetrate in the direction of its depth, it will be interspersed, and it will be outflanked wherever it wants. It can be said that it is handy, and it is even more comfortable than living on the kang at home.

And on the Jizhong Great Plain of Yima Pingchuan, because there is not even a green yarn tent for stealth in winter. The only flesh bullet attack that still has some effect among the troops on the front line is far from being so effective. The enemy's infantry and tank coordination tactics are too skilled. The flesh-and-bullet offensive organized at such a large cost is often directly destroyed by the enemy's infantry before it can be launched. Although the effect is not nothing, it is not at all powerless to change the overall passivity.

In the face of the overwhelming armored offensive of the Anti-United Nations, as well as far more tacit understanding and skilled multi-arms cooperative combat capabilities than the original Soviet army. For Lieutenant General Yasushi Sakai, who lost most of the tanks of the North China Front, it is strange that Lieutenant General Uchiyama Eitaro did not grit his teeth with hatred. Whatever his reason, the consequences are undoubtedly extremely serious.

If it weren't for the fact that the guy was a lieutenant general, he would also be a lieutenant general. As a military commander, he doesn't even have the right to remove that guy from his position. I'm afraid that Lieutenant General Uchiyama Eitaro will directly slash the guy who has not achieved enough and lost more than enough to lose, and lost the entire North China Front Army and most of the tanks in two days.

The empire's national strength is limited, and it cannot support the consumption of two major steel companies at the same time. These tanks were made up by the base camp with great painstaking efforts for the North China Front. As a result, in a short period of time, he wasted so much. At present, he has almost no way to deal with the enemy's tank offensive.

Doesn't he know that these tanks are easy to consume, but difficult to reproduce? It's easy for him to waste, but it's not easy for the empire to replenish. Now the entire Chinese army is not left with tanks, not even anti-tank guns. And the addition of the base camp, it is not yet known that the Year of the Monkey will be able to arrive.

In this Ma Pingchuan, it can be said that the best natural battlefield of tanks is on the Great Plain of North China. In the absence of effective anti-tank guns, it would be fucking strange to take the infantry to hit the tank, and this battle could be won. Even if the Imperial soldiers are not afraid of death, this person can't fight steel. If people can fight steel, then why did the empire have to build so many tanks and heavy artillery at such a big cost?

Cursed again 10,000 times for the stupid one, who had lost almost eighty percent of the Imperial Army's extremely valuable tank resources for the North China Front. Lieutenant General Yasushi Sakai, who is now in a difficult situation where he can only use infantry to fight the enemy's tank group.

And to enable this mediocre guy to serve as the garrison of Jizhong. And after he arrived at Shimen, he kept himself in the air, clinging to the old point of view, and refused to retreat to the best river in the entire battlefield and the largest river in the entire Jizhong, almost after the line of the Hutuo River, which was almost a natural barrier to block the enemy's tank cluster.

Before the arrival of new reinforcements, Lieutenant General Uchiyama Eitaro could only desperately urge all divisions and regiments on the front line to fight together and retreat to the south bank of the Hutuo River with all his might. This Uchiyama Eitaro is even rare, and issued a secret order to all divisions and regiments on the front line. Tell them that as long as they can stand out the main force and safety, they can do nothing else.

Whether it's artillery, ammunition, supplies, and all kinds of equipment that can't be carried in a short time. If you can make it protruding as an institution, everything can be thrown away. Everything, including the wounded, who were no longer carried, could be thrown away. As for the rest of the matter, it is to send constant telegrams asking for help to all who can ask for help.

Fortunately, the base camp will not sit idly by and watch Baoding, as well as the large battlefield between the rivers, and the Japanese troops who participated in the war will be wiped out. At the same time, the situation in other directions is deteriorating day by day, and it continues to continue. Although it is no longer able to draw too many troops, it is constantly trying to provide reinforcements.

A division that had already landed in Lianyungang, the base camp transferred from Southeast Asia, was following the reinforcement route that the Japanese troops on the battlefield in Baoding had arrived in Baoding. After crossing the Yellow River through the Longhai Railway to Kaifeng, reinforcements were sent to southern Hebei. A division reinforced from the mainland has also arrived in Pukou in full formation.

At the same time, the Japanese army's base camp was in the port of Tianjin, which had been blockaded into a dead port by the anti-coalition air force. He is also constantly thinking of ways to increase troops from Korea and the mainland, through South Manchuria, Tangshan, and Qinhuangdao, to the eastern Hebei region. While trying to reopen the Beining Railway, he wanted to adopt the method of encircling Wei and rescuing Zhao to relieve the pressure of the Japanese army in North China.

It's just that North China, which is in the cold winter and the coldest period of the year, except that the port of Tianjin is blocked by the air force of the Anti-Japanese Federation. Qinhuangdao Port, which is located in a higher dimension, has been frozen tightly. The Japanese army was no longer able to carry out sea transportation, so they could only choose land reinforcements that were not very efficient.

The reason why the new reinforcements of the Japanese army did not land directly at Qingdao Port. Instead, he chose Lianyungang, which was far away, or even Pukou to go ashore. It's not that the Tokyo base camp is not in a hurry, and the Qingdao Port, which is closest to the Jizhong battlefield, and the Jiaoji and Jinpu railways are not used. Instead, they landed from Qingdao, and no one dared to guarantee that the reinforced troops would arrive before the end of the Jizhong battlefield.

At present, except for Qingdao Port, it is no longer safe to be visited by long-range bombers of the Anti-United Nations from time to time. The more important reason is that the entire Jiaoji Railway, like the Shandong section of the Jinpu Railway, has been paralyzed almost entirely under the large-scale sabotage battle of the Shandong Military Region. And the entire Shandong battlefield is now in a mess.

Unless the so-called Shandong Military Region of the North China Communist Army is completely destroyed in a short period of time, the Japanese army will no longer be able to use the Jiaoji Railway when it lands in Qingdao. As for the Shandong section and the northern Jiangsu section of the Jinpu Railway, the current situation is not much better than that of the Jiaoji Railway.

Can defeat the Shandong Communist Army in a short period of time, like maggots on tarsal bones, where can the Japanese army find so many troops? If there were enough troops, why did the Japanese army bother to mobilize reinforcements from the mainland? At the same time, under the air raid of the anti-United Nations aircraft, the Shide Railway has been completely paralyzed and impassable.

From landing at Lianyungang, the easternmost point of the Longhai line, which had not yet been harassed by anti-United bombers, taking the relatively safe Longhai line became the only choice for the Japanese army to reinforce Jizhong in the shortest possible time. However, it is far inferior to Lianyungang in Qingdao, and the throughput capacity is too poor. The Japanese army, which had no choice, could only let the second wave of reinforcements land from Pukou.
