"Your Excellency, the supply point to the northeast has also been lost." In the temporary command post of the Japanese army, a man with the rank of Shaozo was waiting with his head bowed for the white-haired general in front of him to leave.

This is very depressing news, an hour ago, the news of the loss of the northern supply point reached the division, and a mood called panic spread throughout the command post, which was not seen in a long time.

Although no one dared to set their eyes directly on this white-haired general, the attention of the entire command post was focused on him, he could break the river situation like the Liaodong battlefield, and it would be difficult for this "military god" to come to think of it.

"It's treating me like a turtle in an urn." Nogi Noshinori stared at the incomparably detailed map, narrowing his eyes.

This is indeed not Liaodong, this attack is a bit reckless, after all, I didn't expect that the Qing Dynasty, which was defeated in Korea, would have such an army.

Time seems to have returned to the day when he received the command of this so-called Qing State Dispatch Army, and the cabinet gave him the strength of four divisions to annihilate a group of rebels in the southwest of the Qing State, which is really an unbelievable order, even if the cabinet starts another war against the Qing State, he will not be so surprised.

However, the soldier took obedience to orders as his duty, and he just thought that it was the Qing State that gave him enough benefits, so he took the appointment.

Even if there was intelligence that the "rebels" here were somewhat unusual, he did not take it to heart. Intelligence showed that there was no Westerner involvement, and in his mind, no matter how strong this group of rebels were, it was just the level of the most elite new army in the Qing Dynasty.

It wasn't until yesterday for the first time that he realized that things were a little unexpected, but even if something went wrong, it wasn't what it was now, and the most crucial mistake was after that attack.

If it was a normal situation, if the attack was frustrated and it was determined that the enemy had heavy firepower, he should withdraw his troops and return to Jiangbei, although he knew that it was right to do so, but ...... It's like the Liaodong battlefield, he is Japanese.

All the conditions in the country do not allow him to retreat, it is a coward's behavior, and even, if the battle is too long, he will be accused by that group of idiots, and the best way now is to make a compromise like last time.

"Order..."

…………

"It's been twelve hours, and there's still no movement on the Japanese side?" Yu Ling came to the command post of the 11th Division again and asked, her eyes were bloodshot, and her face was tired that could not be concealed.

"Report, except for a sporadic exchange of fire with the 13th Division last night, there has been no movement."

There was still no news, which made Yu Ling very uneasy, and last night, the scouts reported a very ridiculous news - the Japanese army may be organizing soldiers to dig wild vegetables in the mountains.

This is clearly a preparation for a long-term operation...... And the fact that the Japanese army has not attacked until now just confirms this.

Long-term fighting, no matter how you look at it, is not good for the Japanese army, but the Japanese army cannot be so stupid, they must be waiting for some variable...... Now that I think about it, the only possibility is the new army in the city of Wuhan in the north!

"The telegraph ordered the reserve to transfer two divisions to organize a defensive line along the Yangtze River."

Whoever says in front of her that Nogi Noshinori is a fool will tear that person's mouth apart.

Now, the most precious thing is time, but Nogi Noshinori wants her to continue to drag it out, which is about to wear out all the patience of Yuling.

Although the long-term fighting was not good for the side of the Qing and Japanese coalition forces, which lacked logistical supplies, her supply was equally difficult.

Every day, the logistics will be under tremendous pressure, and the existing supply lines will be able to carry the ammunition of a full thirteen divisions to the limit, and in another week or so, there will be a large-scale shortage of food.

And now the government does not allow new supply lines......

If the railroad was repaired, it wouldn't be so passive. Yu Ling thought so, but randomly sneered, before seizing the national power, how could Zhan Tianyou and these people succumb so easily.

Now she is at best a Hong Xiuquan, just like the group of people who will roll around in Jiangxi and Shaanxi in the future, how can it be so easy to be trusted, and as long as she is in the army, she will not do less things that lack morality, even if it is well publicized on the surface, such as what Yuling is going to do now.

"Order the troops......" she raised her hand and put it down again, "forget it." ”

The four words of nearby supply are really not so easy to make, not only how big the impact is caused by this, no matter how big the impact is, there will be means to suppress it, Yu Ling does not want the army to open this opening, and the military discipline will become more and more corrupt.

There will always be something wrong with just taking supplies and not hurting people.

Wait, maybe there will be a solution within a week, Yu Ling can only think like this, when it is really necessary, she will not let the nearest supply (grab supplies).

Suddenly, the silence of the command post was broken by the sound of a telegram.

"The Seventh Division is in a hurry!" After verifying the frequencies of both parties, the communication team immediately translated the other party's code.

"Read."

"The new army is out of the city, more than 10,000."

"......" This is what is expected, the new army has been preparing for so long, and if it does not go to war, I am afraid that the pressure from the Japanese side will not be able to withstand it" This is the variable that the Japanese army expects? ”

If this is the strange army that the Japanese army is looking forward to, Yu Ling has nothing to worry about, but things will not be so simple, and the commander of the Japanese army thinks that he also knows the approximate number of troops here, and it is impossible to put hope on these people.

This wonder army must at least have the strength to break the current deadlock, so, where is that wonder army?

Could it be that the Japanese transferred some gunboats from China to the Yangtze River, she thought jokingly, of course, that is impossible, the British, or rather, any of the European and American powers, could not allow the Japanese warships to sail into the Yangtze River, that is to clearly rob their interests.

Or, maybe it's the four divisions that the Japanese haven't shown up yet, Yu Ling raised her eyebrows, but she remembered that in the intelligence, the Japanese army dispatched six divisions, and in the encirclement, Nogi Noshinori's troops were only two.

If that strange army was these four divisions, it would not be a big deal to annihilate Nogi Noshinori, relying on the existing positions to mass-kill them, it would directly achieve her strategic goal.

Even if the position is cut through by the opponent's strong attack, there will be no problem, no matter how you look at it, this battle is stable, but why is there always a faint uneasiness in your heart?
