This is a very critical issue. He believes that Japanese militants never shed tears when they see the coffin. Although the situation is very dangerous, after all, they have not been hit by the U.S. military and they choose to compromise easily. Surrender, this is not in line with the other side's way of thinking.

"How is it possible! I reported this issue to General Neiji Okamura and General Umezu Mijiro from the base camp, and the answer was that the measures taken by Oiso Kuniaki this time were only wishful thinking, and did not get the results of His Majesty the Emperor and the military. Approval, in other words, this is a private act of him!"

"The mainland is preparing for a decisive battle with the U.S. military. There has never been an idea of ​​using the Yamashiro government to get rid of the unfavorable situation. They are not qualified to mediate. In other words, the current cabinet of Oiso Kuniaki will soon collapse!" Kawamoto Yoshitaro shook his head and said.

"I have set up a special check at the airport in accordance with the decision of the base camp and will never let him go to Japan. It is a shame for the empire to have such a cabinet prime minister!" Sifang said.

Hearing the attitude of the Japanese army, Chen Mingxiang felt relieved for the time being. He knew that even if Miao Bin arrived in Japan, there would not be any substantial progress, because the Japanese military was firmly opposed to this, and this also represented the meaning of the Japanese emperor. May unilaterally negotiate with the Shancheng government.

After thinking about it, Chen Mingxiang felt that he was a little confused, and his thinking had entered a misunderstanding. As for the performance of the Shancheng government during the War of Resistance Against Japan, how can it be qualified to coordinate the relations between Japan and the United States?

In the early stage of the Pacific War, the US government suffered Japan’s hardships and suffered huge casualties. Even the home port of the Pacific Fleet was blown up and down. How could it listen to the Yamashiro government and sit down and negotiate with the Japanese government?

It's not that the US government doesn't want to force Japan to surrender. This can also reduce its own burden. Despite its wealth, the problem is that war not only costs money, but also a large number of American soldiers are bleeding and killing.

But everyone knows the situation in Japan. The militants never shed tears when they see the coffin. They are heartbroken if they don't fight, and there is no possibility of negotiation.

Of course, if the Japanese government takes the initiative to seek peace talks from the US government, it can sit down and talk about how to end the war.

"I went to Peiping before New Year's Day. When I was hosted by Lieutenant General Shimura, I mentioned that the dispatching army plans to continue to advance to Sichuan and Guizhou provinces and completely destroy the economic and industrial foundations of the Shancheng government. It's been two months, and haven't heard anything?" Chen Mingxiang asked.

"Lieutenant General Shimomura was right. General Ningji Okamura did have such an idea. Taking advantage of dispatching troops to occupy a great advantage in Operation One, he occupied Sichuan and Guizhou provinces in one fell swoop and destroyed the base of the Shancheng government. But this plan was not approved by the base camp."

"At the end of last month, the dispatched army headquarters held a top-secret meeting. Those who participated in this meeting were all commanders and combat staff officers from all fronts and armies. I took the Chief of Staff Major General Toshimoto Yamamoto to attend this meeting. In fact, it was announced that the plan of the second general Okamura was completely useless."

"After consideration, the base camp believes that the 14th Front Army of the Philippine Army has already been defeated. Now the U.S. Army is the main enemy of the empire. Therefore, in order to prevent the U.S. Army from landing on the southeast coastal area of ​​China after occupying the Philippine Army. , The attention of the entire dispatched army needs to be adjusted."

"According to the arrangement of the base camp, the dispatching army headquarters decided that in addition to the newly added 40th and 27th divisions to Guangdong Province, seven divisions from the North China region should be transferred to the southeast coastal area and arranged The North China Front Army attacked the Laohekou area of ​​Hubei Province, and the Sixth Front Army attacked the Zhijiang area in the western part of Hunan Province, destroying the airport there.” Yongjin Zuobizhong said.

The Japanese base camp took into account that the area of ​​China is too large. The Japanese army occupied too many areas during the first battle, and its forces were severely dispersed. If they attacked the Sichuan and Guizhou provinces again, there would be almost no mobile troops to adjust.

The current situation is very unfavorable for Japan. If the U.S. forces with sea and air superiority land in China, it will be difficult to send troops to resist. For this reason, instead of launching large-scale offensives, they will need to make strategic adjustments and put limited forces in the fight against landing. Warfare.

According to Yongjin Zuo’s weight, the sequence of troops from North China to be transferred to the Shanghai Stock Exchange and the coastal areas of Zhejiang Province are as follows. In April, the 63rd Division based in Peking, the 69th Division based in Yuncheng, Shanxi will be transferred. The 117th Division in Xinxiang and the 118th Division in Datong.

The troops transferred in May were the 59th Division based in Quancheng, and the troops transferred in June were the 110th Division based in Luoyang, Henan Province and the Third Chariot Division based in Xiangcheng, Henan Province.

Last year, in order to reinforce the South Pacific battlefield, the Japanese base camp first transferred the 32nd and 35th divisions of the North China Front in February, and in July of the second half of the year, they transferred the 26th division to The Philippine Lubin was incorporated into the combat sequence of the Fourteenth Front Army, and the 62nd Division was transferred to Taiwan Island, which belonged to the combat sequence of the 32nd Army.

In order to make up for the lack of strength of the North China Front Army, the Japanese base camp ordered in July to organize the 7th Independent Brigade into the 115th Infantry Division, the 3rd Independent Infantry Brigade, the 4th Independent Infantry Brigade, and the 9th Independent Infantry Brigade. The regiments were organized into the 114th Infantry Division, the 117th Division and the 118th Infantry Division.

The four divisions formed just last year are all C divisions of the Japanese Army, also known as the two brigade divisions.Because the division governs two infantry brigades and four infantry brigades, each infantry brigade governs four infantry squadrons and an eight heavy machine gun squadron. The division has no artillery wing and cavalry wing, only engineers. Team, Serving Team and Communication Team.

However, as the situation deteriorated, the Japanese army made the last adjustment to its military strength, adding an infantry artillery squadron to the infantry brigade of the C division. As a result, the military strength of the C division also reached more than 13,000. people.

The infantry brigade of the independent mixed brigade was reorganized into four infantry squadrons, one machine gun squadron, and one infantry artillery squadron, with a number of 1,500.The brigade artillery was equipped with six field artillery and twelve mountain artillery. At the same time, the brigade’s engineering unit and cargo unit were also expanded, and the total number reached more than 8,000.

Re-established the Army D-type division, the organization is roughly the same as that of the C-type division, but the machine gun squadron of each infantry squadron has only four heavy machine guns, which is half less than the machine-gun squadron of the C-type division, while the infantry squad has only one light machine gun. Firepower configuration with a grenadier.
