"The 29th Army has a good fighting spirit, but its weapons and equipment are too poor.
It is not impossible for the surrounded Muta Regiment to be annihilated under several times the enemy's attack.
In a few days, the Muta Regiment was already It’s the limit of what it can support.”
"Your Excellency Okabe," the expressions of those present suddenly changed when they heard what had just been said.
With the expansion of the war in North China, the former Japanese North China Expeditionary Force has been officially upgraded to the North China Front Army.
Unexpectedly, before the commander of the front army Juichi Terauchi arrived, the chief of staff Naosaburo Okabe had already rushed to the theater first.
In the military, Naosaburo Okabe had always been known for being strict when he was teaching at Rishi.
Many of the staff officers who had been talking about it just now were in a state of silence.
"Hashimoto-kun, you have been in North China for a relatively long time to participate in the war.
Let's talk about the empire's losses during this period and see if the China Army, which some people have always ignored, is really as vulnerable as they imagined.
"Hit" Naosaburo Okabe threw the document in his hand directly on the table and sat down on the main seat.
As the chief of staff of the North China Front, before Juichi Terauchi arrived, as the representative of Juichi Terauchi, he naturally had the authority to preside over this event.
A meeting.
At this time, Juichi Terauchi was still on his way to North China.
Despite the initial victory in the Pingsui Campaign, Chahar had already become the possession of the Japanese army.
However, in view of the serious losses suffered by the Japanese army in the past, Okabe directly Saburo believed that it was necessary to give these generals a wake-up call.
Don't let the Imperial team suffer unnecessary losses due to some carelessness.
"Yes, Okabe-dono" Hashimoto stood up.
"So far, our Air Force has lost a total of 37 fighters of various types, 41 bombers of various types. 6 reconnaissance aircraft. 83 pilots were killed. 6 were slightly or seriously injured. 13 people are missing."
"The 1st Army of our North China Expeditionary Force lost a total of 53 light tanks of various types, 21 medium tanks, and 57 vehicles of various types. 76 artillery pieces of various calibers and above were lost.
In the two phases of the war on the front line in Langfang, Tianjin, the Empire was killed one after another. 7539 people were killed.
This time on the Beiping front line, the Mutian Regiment was annihilated by the Chinese Army, coupled with the losses caused by the previous rescue of the Mutian Regiment.
However, in general, we have made the China Army pay a heavier price.
The two regiments of Sun Dianying's troops on the front line in Tianjin are surrounded by our army, and the 2nd Mechanized Brigade of the Northwest China Army has been surrounded by 20 people.
Most of the division was wiped out and has withdrawn from the battlefield due to heavy losses.
Overall, the enemy's casualties exceeded ours by more than three times."
"According to the information I received, in several battles, the enemy lost a total of 26 tanks and 53 aircraft of various types.
The China Army that fought against the emperor was also divided into three, six, and nine ranks, and the Northwest China Army caused the greatest losses to our army.
That is, in In the battle of Langfang, the tank unit of the 2nd Mechanized Brigade of the Northwest Army fought a classic battle of defeating more with less.
If it had not been for the effective response of the commander of the Yamashita Fengwen Brigade, the main force of Chiba Pingchuan's tank regiment might have been completely wiped out. " "The place that caused the most casualties to our army was also in Langfang.
At the same time, in order to rescue the besieged Mutian Regiment, part of the 6th Division responsible for the rescue was also stubbornly blocked by the Northwest China Army.
In the battle with the Northwest China Army , a single More than three-quarters of the tanks of the Japanese light tank squadron were destroyed by the enemy, and thousands of Imperial troops were lost.
At the same time, the Mutian Regiment was annihilated by the 29th Army of the Chinese Army, and the 20th Division was responsible for attacking Tianjin.
Department, due to China The rebellion of the puppet troops Zhang Qingyu and Zhang Yantian caused sixty or seventy of our unprepared soldiers in Tong County to be directly killed by the rebels.
With the cooperation of the rebels, the Hedao Jianyi Brigade of the 20th Division was killed by the rebels.
The pincer attack with Sun Dianying's China Army They were caught off guard and suffered heavy losses.
The empire lost more than 4,800 soldiers in the 29th China Army.
This was before the Pingsui Road battle was over and the casualty report had not yet been reported. " "Everyone, I have said so many nonsense, do you know what I want to say in the end?"
Naosaburo Okabe asked in a serious voice.
Hiss, many people present had just learned about the latest battle damage data, and they couldn't help but gasped.
From the time of the attack on Marco Polo Bridge to the actual fighting until now, it took less than a month for such losses to occur.
Large numbers of tanks and aircraft, especially tanks, were more difficult to replenish than aircraft.
Nearly one-third of the 2,670 tanks were killed in just a few battles.
In order to meet the needs of the North China War, some were even redeployed.
A tank unit that was originally supposed to be sent to Shanghai.

After all, the war in North China was the main direction of the War Department's attack.
As for the good fight in Shanghai, most of the credit was taken away by the Navy.
"Okabe-kun, are you accusing me of my poor command before?"
Seiji Kozuki squinted his eyes and looked at Naosaburo Okabe in a threatening manner.
Others were afraid of Naosaburo Okabe, but with so many military officials present, naturally, There are also those who are not afraid, and Kozuki Seiji is one of them, and Kozuki Seiji has never had a good impression of Naosaburo Okabe, who has always presided over the comprehensive expansion of the war against China, and Juichi Terauchi.
It’s not that he has no backing.
Even if Juichi Terauchi is elected as the commander of the North China Front, as long as the other party doesn’t take advantage of him, Juichi Terauchi can’t do anything to him.
In the First Army of the North China Front, his words are more effective than Terauchi Juichi. .
This is also where his confidence lies.
"I'm just stating the truth.
At least, it is an indisputable fact that the 1st Army suffered losses in this Pingjin battle.
Whether it was tanks or aircraft, the number of losses was greater than that of the China Army."
Naosaburo Okabe said coldly, as the front army's leader Chief of Staff, he naturally wants to maintain the dignity of the front army headquarters.
"Although the empire suffered certain losses in the Pingjin battle, there was no loss in the previous battles with the Chinese army.
Moreover, the losses were not caused by the command errors of the First Army, but by the intelligence agency's major dereliction of duty.
In the battle of Langfang , the main force of Chiba Pingchuan's tank regiment could have defeated the enemy's tank troops in one fell swoop, and then dealt a fatal blow to the Second Mechanized Brigade, the ace force of the China Army.
This would have been a decisive blow to the dispatch.
It was a rare opportunity for the Chinese Army, but we knew nothing about the infantry anti-tank weapons that appeared in the Chinese Army.
As a result, the main force of Chiba Pingchuan's tank regiment, with more than 50 tanks, failed against the Chinese Army's less than 30 tanks.
The 2nd Mechanized Brigade of the Northwestern China Army is not as elite as the Imperial Army.
The Empire has suffered losses not once or twice since the war with the Northwestern China Army in 31 years
