Chapter 424: This is not caused by you
Nanzō Yunko turned the watch on her wrist.
This watch looks like an ordinary quartz watch, but there is a bullet and a pill inside. This is what she prepared for herself after entering the Special High Technology Department.
But she never used it.
Nanzō Yunko curled her lips and smiled calmly: "Of course, it is to help Okamura Neiji solve his upcoming troubles."
Trouble? What trouble could he have?
"Baka." After reading the telegram sent by the Telecommunications Department, Okamura Neiji angrily crumpled it into a ball and threw it on the ground, saying to the Chief of Staff Yamadajima beside him, "I really don't understand what the Army Headquarters is so obsessed with. Is it really that important for the two forces of Central China and North China to join Wuhan?"
Yamadajima, who was sitting next to him, glanced at him and thought to himself.
What else could it be? Wuhan was originally the main battlefield of the Imperial Army, but because of your personal thoughts, it became the main battlefield of the Navy. Then the Army changed its plan and quickly attacked Guangzhou, which saved the Army's face.
However, the plan to annihilate the main force of the Wuhan army around Wuhan was destroyed. The Wuhan troops are currently divided into three. If they want to fight a decisive battle with them again, they can only gather the troops from the north and the south, thus forcing them to fight a decisive battle between the west of Wuhan and the mountain city and end the war.
Because of your own selfishness, the headquarters had to change its plan. Ultimately, this was caused by you, Neiji Okamura.
It's good that they didn't deal with you the same way they dealt with Yanagawa Heisuke last time. Now the headquarters asked you to go south again to join them, isn't this a very normal thing?
Although he thought so in his heart, he still said, "The troops in Wuhan are divided into three parts. It is impossible to annihilate their main force around Wuhan. The cabinet asked them to surrender, but they ignored it. The only way for the empire is to force them to gather their troops again for a decisive battle. This is only possible if the troops in Central China and North China are concentrated."
"Yanagawa Heisuke, the sinner of the empire." Okamura Neiji stood in front of him and rubbed his aching temples.
Originally, the Empire was not prepared for this war, and the General Staff's decision was to end the war outside Shanghai, but Yanagawa Heisuke turned a deaf ear to it and still led the Tenth Army westward, causing the Empire to have to change its plan and mobilize troops to continue the attack.
Although they eventually occupied Nanjing and other places, they had no intention of surrendering.
You have the nerve to mention him, you two are no less capable than him. Yamadajima sneered in his heart.
"Yes, if it weren't for him, the war would have ended." After saying this, Yamadajima came to his side; "Now, what should we do?"
How to do?
Okamura Neiji glanced at the map, then pointed in the direction of the 74th Army; "Change the plan, attack as defense, and attack the left side of the first theater with the main force."
The 74th Army is too good at fighting. We have attacked several times in a row but have not been able to advance. In this case, we will not fight anymore. We will attack in another direction, and here, we will focus on containment.
Independent regiment headquarters. Chao Xiang Xiuling stretched lazily on the bed and glanced at her wrist.
Oh my god, it's already past 10 o'clock. She sat up with a cry and shouted, "Sakura."
"Miss." Sakura came in with the wash basin; "You're awake."
Zhao Xiang Xiuling lifted the quilt, quickly put on her clothes and came to the washbasin; "Strange, why did I sleep so late today? In the past..."
"Miss, the Japanese bombers have never stopped bombing this place in the past, but today, they did not come. It is not normal for you to get up late." If it were in the past, you would have gotten up at noon, okay?
Asaka Hidei, who was washing her face, paused for a moment; "The Japanese army, didn't attack today?"
Sakura nodded and went out to bring the food.
Chaoxiang Xiuling put the handkerchief in the bed, picked up the bowl on the table and walked to the regiment headquarters next door.
When I entered the regiment headquarters, the rest of the people were there.
"Here we are." Zhou Weiguo, who was standing in front of the map, glanced at her and motioned her to come over; "You should have noticed that the Japanese army seems to have stopped attacking today."
Although the independent regiment was transferred back to the rear for rest, the main attack direction of the Japanese army was here. Bombers had been bombing the transportation lines in the rear. Even if this line was not bombed, there would be bombers passing by. But since this morning, there has been no movement at all.
"Is it like this in other places?" Chaoxiang Xiuling asked after taking two bites of rice.
Xiao Ya, who was sitting next to him, took over the conversation; "I asked the military department, and the commander said that it's the same in other places."
"The Japanese may have changed their plan." Chaoxiang Xiuling pointed at the map and said, "I'm afraid they have received new orders. We need to find out as soon as possible what their purpose is in changing the battle plan."
"Change the battle plan?" Sano Tadayoshi and Fang Shengli quickly came to the map.
After several trips back and forth, the route was outlined; "Lao Zhou, let's..."
"The situation is unclear, so don't jump to conclusions." Zhou Weiguo waved his hands and saw several people looking at him in disbelief.
He knew what these people meant. He had always been a person who couldn't sit still, but this time, he was so calm. This was illogical.
"We are resting in the second line, not in the first line, so we can't think about so much. If there is any special situation, the commander will let me go, and we will think about this problem in time."
Several people suddenly realized, Fang Shengli even threw away his pencil and nodded; "Yes, we are resting now. No matter how we think about it, we don't know what the situation is ahead. Instead of thinking about what the other party is doing here, it is better to wait for the military to tell us what to do."
Snapped……
At the 74th Army Headquarters, Yu Huohuo hung up the phone with the theater commander's office.
Commander Feng, the commander of the 58th Division and chief of staff, came up to him and asked, "What did the headquarters say?"
"The Japanese army changed its battle plan and launched a fierce attack on the First Corps under Commander Xue."
"We have launched an attack on the corps on the left. Okamura Neiji, what are you going to do?" Chief of Staff Feng came to the map and looked at it for a moment, then turned to the adjutant next to him and said, "Ask about the situation of the Japanese troops on the front line."
"Chief of Staff, the various departments reported not long ago that the Japanese troops who were supposed to attack have switched to defense. In some places, they even retreated several kilometers and occupied a place that was easy to defend."
"Switch from offense to defense, what does this mean?" Yu Huohuo knocked on the table and looked at the battle sand table again and again. Finally, he set his sights on Kaifeng. "Could it be that Okamura Neiji found that he could not get any benefit from me, so he let me go and fight against Commander Xue?"
"Then their current actions can be considered as a way to contain us. If they are, it may be detrimental to the situation in Henan." Chief of Staff Feng pointed to the map; "Just defend, don't attack."
contain?
Yu Huohuo came to the map and glanced at it for several times, then pointed at the adjutant beside him; "Tell Zhou Weiguo to come over here."
