Anti-Japanese War: When I get promoted, the system will explode with soldiers
Chapter 1008: Japan Continues to Increase Troops
On the second day after retreating to the warship, the Emperor's special envoy, Vice Admiral Koimaru, also arrived with orders from the Japanese Imperial Headquarters. The Japanese Imperial Headquarters was extremely dissatisfied with the situation in the Pujiang war zone. Including His Majesty the Emperor, if they did not have to rely on this group of people to fight, I am afraid all of them would have to be replaced.
20 troops fought here for two months, and in the end they were driven back to the starting point, which was almost equivalent to a defeat. The bold words they had spoken before became a joke at this moment.
What about destroying China and taking Pujiang in three months? Then they further took Nanjing and forced the people of the National Government to sign a humiliating treaty.
No matter how heroic they spoke before, now they have been slapped in the face so hard. Many people in Japan have also stood up and written these words over and over again in newspapers, wanting to see how the senior officers of the Urawa Expeditionary Force will respond?
"Mr. Matsui."
Vice Admiral Koimaru came here on a warship. After arriving on this heavy cruiser, he still followed the necessary etiquette. After all, he was only a vice admiral, while Commander Matsui was a general.
"Thanks for your hard work."
General Matsui still had a faint smile on his face, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that the smile was somewhat bitter, completely different from when he first landed in Pujiang. At this moment, he had already used all his skills, but the Pujiang battlefield was too difficult to overcome.
After arriving at the conference room, Lieutenant General Koimaru did not say anything and directly took out the order from the Japanese headquarters.
Regarding the Pujiang battlefield, the Japanese headquarters will definitely not relax. In addition to the 5 additional divisions, the Japanese headquarters has also mobilized another 11 divisions in the country.
According to the headquarters' plan to increase troops, 16 divisions will continue to be sent to Pujiang, with a total of more than 30 troops. In addition, Pujiang's current troops, numbering 50, are advancing towards inland areas.
After hearing the headquarters' determination, the people present were also very excited.
Before Li Shaoyi's army joined the war, they felt that it would be very easy for tens of thousands of people to fight against the 40-odd Dragon Kingdom troops. However, after Li Shaoyi's army joined the war, it was obvious that they were short of troops.
Although a lot of people were transported later, the problem was that there were also many troops participating in the battle from the 72nd Army. As the two sides fought back and forth, the shortage of Japanese troops had not been improved. Now, the battlefields in Pujiang were a little overwhelmed without the troops of the 72nd Army.
If some troops from the 72nd Army were mixed in, many Japanese troops would have retreated directly after hearing the news, with no intention of resisting at all. This is also the reason why the position of 10 days was lost in one go.
"Your Excellency, simply increasing the army won't work. Pujiang's military is very cunning, especially their air force, which currently numbers around 1500 aircraft at various airports throughout the Yangtze River Delta. If we don't increase our air force, it will be difficult to improve the situation on the Pujiang battlefield."
Commander Takahashi of the 11th Division, his head bandaged, was in the middle of Li Shaoyi's counterattack. Shrapnel had ripped his head open, and he reportedly needed over 20 stitches. He should have been well enough to return to Japan for recuperation, but he persisted at the Pujiang front because he had already received word that the Japanese headquarters would be sending reinforcements there. So, at this point, he couldn't afford to retreat.
If he ran back, the defeat would follow him for the rest of his life. Now, with the help of the huge Japanese military force, if he could gain some credit, the shame he suffered on the Pujiang battlefield would basically be washed away. So this guy knew very well what to choose.
"Don't worry, Takahashi-kun. Headquarters has already taken this into consideration. This conscription also includes 700 aircraft..."
When Lieutenant General Koimaru talked about 700 planes, he felt a little proud. After all, where on the Asian battlefield could 700 planes be deployed?
But when he finished saying this number, he found that the people around him did not cheer, which was a little different from what he had imagined.
Actually, what is there to cheer about? You sent 700 planes, and there are 1500 planes piled up around Pujiang River.
We have never had air supremacy. Many troops were defeated by the 72nd Army's Air Force before they even reached the battlefield.
The performance of our current aircraft is not as good as theirs. If we want to regain some air supremacy, we must at least have the same number of aircraft as theirs.
Of course, many people in Japan have also said that our pilots have longer training time and richer battlefield experience. If compared with the pilots of Longguo, the advantage is still quite large. We cannot just compare numbers and aircraft performance.
In the past, many Japanese generals also thought so. They believed that even if the Longguo pilots were flying good planes, they lacked some training time and could not compare with our planes. But when they really fought on the battlefield, they found that the Longguo pilots could control the high-performance planes 100%, and their driving skills were not much different from our pilots.
Japanese espionage agencies also sent people to investigate. In major aviation schools in the north, pilots would receive a little theoretical knowledge and then immediately take to the skies. Only this kind of practical training could enable them to learn faster.
In fact, aviation schools all over the world understand this truth. It is useless to just give a bunch of boring lectures. Only when pilots actually take to the blue sky can they learn to fly as quickly as possible. But the problem is that this costs both aircraft and fuel. Which country can afford it?
Especially for a country like Japan where all kinds of materials are in short supply, asking them to train pilots in this way is simply like killing them. Although there are dedicated energy reserves, all pilots were told before boarding the plane that fuel is extremely precious and must be saved.
But as for the pilots of the 72nd Army, the instructors repeatedly told them that as long as they were in good health, they could stay in the sky after eating and fly however they wanted.
One side only has two or three hours of flying time per week, while the other side has four or five hours of flying time every day. Although there is a gap in flying time between the two sides, with this schedule, the gap will gradually narrow until it is no longer noticeable, and may even be surpassed...
