At the same time, it was at the 13th Army Command of Shanghai.

Usa Mitsuru hurried into the war room and asked, "Higa Shikan, what's the situation?"

Last night, Kenji Doihara suddenly invited Usa Mitsuki to come over. The two of them didn't know what to discuss and didn't come back until dawn.

As a result, as soon as I returned to the headquarters, I heard that something was wrong with the Kameda United.

This made Usa Mitsuro feel incomprehensible. When he left last night, Kameda United was still fine. Why did something happen in just a few hours?

Usa Mitsuru can accept failure, but not inexplicable failure.

"Your Excellency Chief of Staff." Hinata Shimiya turned around and suddenly paused his head.

Usa Mitsuru waved his hand and said, "What's the situation with Kameda United now?"

Hinata Shiaki replied: "The main force of the Kameda United team has broken through from Teapot Ao and has now joined the Ikeda United team west of Chongren Town."

Usa Mitsuru frowned and said, "Main force?"

"Hai." Hinata Shiaki paused again and said, "Although the main force of the Kameda United team broke out, the first infantry brigade to which the corps belonged was broken. In addition, the weapons and equipment of the Kameda United team also suffered heavy losses this time! More than two thousand imperial soldiers almost all escaped back with empty hands."

"Haga!" Usa Mitsuru said furiously, "Then they still have the face to come back?"

Hinata Shiaki stopped saying a word because according to the Japanese regulations, soldiers who lost their weapons need to be cut off their stomachs to thank the emperor. If they suffer defeat, the commander also needs to be cut off! However, in actual combat, this order was not strictly implemented, because if this order is strictly implemented, the non-combat death of the imperial army would be far more than combat death.

But if Usa Mitsuru really wants to pursue it, Kameda United will be doomed.

After hesitating for a while, Hinata Shia finally said: "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, there is a saying, "I don't know if you should say it or not?"

Usa Mitsuru said in a deep voice: "Do you want to plead for Kameda United?"

"Hai!" Hinata Shimington said first, "Although the Kameda United team was defeated in the battle of Shinchang, Huoyi thought that it could not be blamed on the officers and soldiers of the Kameda United team, because they had already rushed from attack to defense, and only built simple civil fortifications, and such fortifications could not withstand the Chinese army's shelling."

Usa Mitsuru knew that Kameda was bombarded by Chinese troops.

But even if you are bombarded by cluster artillery, you will not be severely damaged so soon, right?

At that moment, Usa Mitsuru waved his hand and said, "The shelling is not a reason, there must be other reasons!"

After thinking about it, Hinata Shia said again: "In addition, the Chinese army besieged the Kameda United team has almost ten times the strength of the Kameda United team, so it is completely reasonable to lose."

"I'm not surprised at all." Usa Mitsuru waved his hand and continued, "I'm angry that the Kameda United team failed to hold on for a night. Even if the Chinese army has artillery, even if the Chinese army has ten times more strength than me, this is an entire infantry corps, and it's not able to hold on for a night?"

Hinata said: "About this, Huoyi is also very confused."

Speaking of this, Hinata Zhimei said again: "Before this, the 10th China Army and the Imperial Army have fought. Judging from the situations of those small-scale battles, the combat effectiveness of the China Army can be said to be extremely weak, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is vulnerable, but the Battle of Xinchang almost became another army!"

Hinata's accusation of speaking was unintentional, but after hearing this, Usa Mitsuru felt aroused.

Usa Mitsuki said: "Hinata Shijun, I understand as soon as you say this. It seems that it was the previous fight, which gave the Kameda United an illusion. After all, the Kameda United was originally stationed in Hangzhou. They mistakenly thought that the combat effectiveness of the 10th China Army was still the same as before, so they were caught off guard!"

Hinata Shiaki said: "Is there any change in the 10th China Army?"

Usa Mitsunobu said: "The reason why the combat effectiveness of the 10th Chinese Army is poor is that they have no ammunition, and the officers and soldiers are still unable to fill their stomachs. They are almost fighting against the Imperial Army on hunger, but now it is different."

"It's different now?" Hinata Shimiya said in a daze. "What's the difference between Mr. Chief of Staff?"

Usa Mitsuru said: "Last night at Dohihara's agency, Dohihara Jun told me something."

Speaking of this, Usa Mirone said in a serious tone: "Zhong Yi specially formed a transport team composed of tens of thousands of civilians and thousands of vehicles of various types, and through this transport team, the Chinese army on the Zhejiang-Fujian battlefield was transported to the Chinese army. The 10th Chinese Army is now full and has ammunition, so its combat power will naturally rise."

"So that's it." Hinata Shiaki said, "It's no wonder that Kameda United suffered a big loss."

That's true. Usa Mitsuki and Hinata Shiaki really got the point.

The combat effectiveness of the National Army is actually not weak at all. The Northwest Army, the Shanxi Sui Army, the Sichuan Army, the Gui Army, and the Hunan Army are all very strong. Even if the weapons and equipment are relatively backward, if they really let them exert their strength, it would be no exaggeration to play a 2-to-1 battle loss ratio, not to mention the 55th match between the Japanese and the 5th.

However, after the War of Resistance entered a stalemate stage, the Kuomintang army on the front battlefield, including the Central Army, often fought a huge battle loss ratio of 10 to 1 or even 20 to 1 with the Japanese devils. The most exaggerated one was the Battle of Zhongtiaoshan, which actually fought a rare battle loss ratio of 120 to 1, which was simply eye-catching!

Is it really because the national army cannot fight in the Battle of Zhongtiaoshan?

In fact, it is not that the national army is not unable to fight, but is defeated by the greed of the generals.

Senior generals from the Chief Office of the World War II almost deducted the military pay of the Fifth Army, resulting in the Northeastern men being thin as hell and unable to stand firmly. How can they fight?

Although the 14th Army is the Central Army, it is not much better.

The officers and soldiers of the Central Army don’t have to go hungry, but that’s all. The weapons and ammunition are getting smaller and smaller every year. It’s said that they are a group of troops, but in the end they can’t even get a full division. How can they fight?

Therefore, the national army was defeated by corruption and by the greed of senior generals!

Once this problem is solved, the combat effectiveness of the national army will immediately rise.
