Shouichi Terauchi also knows that Muto Akira's analysis is not false at all.

Because the North China Front Army has a total of 8 divisions and regiments, plus several independent mixed brigades, as well as some other tanks, heavy artillery directly subordinate units, aviation regiments, etc.

The total number of troops added up is more than 200,000.

Among them, nearly half of them are baggage logistics troops, and only a little more than half of the field troops that can really be used to attack cities and seize land.

At present, in Tengxian and Taierzhuang alone, the Japanese army in North China has lost at least 45,000 troops, plus the losses of the rest of the divisions, its total casualties have exceeded at least 70,000.

In addition to continuing to fight against China, the remaining Japanese troops also had to take charge of the entire occupied area of Hebei, Pingjin, Shanxi, Suiyuan, Chahar, and other millions of square kilometers.

Especially in Shanxi and Shaanxi, not only Wei Junru's Central Army and Yan Laoxi's Jin Sui Army are entrenched.

In addition, the Eighth Route Army led by the Communist Party is also eyeing from the sidelines, and may rush out to do things at any time, so that the little devils cannot be guarded against.

Sui Nai Shouyi could only send nearly two divisions of the First Army, and more than 50,000 troops were stationed in Shanxi and Suiyuan.

Its troops have even been invested more than when they attacked Shanxi!

The base camp of the Japanese army also knew that the Japanese army in North China was tight, so the 16th Division and the 114th Division were transferred from the battle sequence of the Japanese army in Central China and assigned to the command of Shouichi Terauchi.

However, as soon as the 114th Division arrived under the command of Shouichi Terauchi, before it had time to show its skills, it was heavily damaged in the area of Nianzhuang.

The 16th Division, which is still on the sea route north, has not yet arrived.

Therefore, at present, the Japanese army in North China can draw almost no troops.

It's not an exaggeration to even describe it as overstretched.

If the Fifth War Zone gathers all its forces to fight a decisive battle, it is really unknown who will win or lose in the end!

……

Major General Muto Akira acted quite alertly, seeing that the commander Terauchi Shouichi seemed to be a little impatient, his face gradually became gloomy, and he hurriedly said the key point: "Your Excellency Commander, in this battle of Taierzhuang, the reason why the 10th and 20th Divisions of the Imperial Army were completely annihilated by the Chinese Army.

and the Battle of Nian Zhuang, the reason why the 114th Division of the Imperial Army suffered a miserable defeat.

In addition to the tenacious combat effectiveness and fighting will that all units of the Chinese Army have shown in this battle, which are far stronger than before.

The most important thing is that they are assisted by a strong reinforcement force!

This support army, I believe you don't need to say it, you should know it.

It was the Tiger Regiment that inflicted heavy losses on the Central China Imperial Army on the Songhu Battlefield and the Jinling Battlefield one after another!"

After a pause, Muto Akira continued: "Your Excellency the Commander of this Tiger Regiment's achievements should know better than me, so I won't go into too much detail about my humble position.

The reason why the 5th Division of the Imperial Army, known as the reputation of the Steel Army, was blocked by Linyi and could not break through the defense line of the 40th Army and the 59th Army of the China Army was also because the Guoqi Detachment was completely annihilated by Yang Jing in Yangzhou.

Otherwise, with the majesty of the 5th Division of the Imperial Army on the battlefield in the west of China, and would it behave so badly?

Also, if it weren't for the Tiger Ben Regiment rushing to Teng County at a critical moment, the 10th Division of the Imperial Army might have captured it long ago and would have come to Taierzhuang.

In this way, the battle situation will not develop into such an unfavorable situation as it is now!

And if it were not for the stubborn defense of the Tiger Ben Regiment in Tengxian and Taierzhuang, it would have been impossible for the Zhina Army to hold out until the reinforcements arrived.

Without the victory of Taierzhuang, the Fifth War Zone of China would not be able to mobilize troops to return to Nianzhuang.

Naturally, there will be no fiasco in the battle of Milling Village.

It is likely that the 114th Division has now planted the flag of the Imperial Japanese Army on the wall of Xuzhou City!

Similarly, it was also this Tiger Regiment that was the first to break through the main positions of the 10th and 14th Divisions, pinning down a large number of troops of the Imperial Army, resulting in the total annihilation of the entire 10th Division and the 14th Division.

The root of all this lies in this tiger group and this Yang Jing!

……”

Seeing that Muto Akira seemed to be endless, Shouichi Terauchi raised his hand impatiently and interrupted: "Muto-kun, I am not asking you to analyze the battle situation here and analyze the reasons for the defeat of the imperial army, but to let you tell you how to crack it." ”

Muto Zhang said: "Your Excellency Commander, the root of all this is on Yang Jing, so the way to crack it is naturally also on Yang Jing!"

Therefore, as long as we can kill this Yang Jing, all problems will be solved! ”

Terauchi Shouichi frowned and said, "The question is, how do we kill Yang Jing now?" ”

Muto Akira showed a man's 'all' smile and said, "There is an ancient saying in Shina that heroes are sad about beauty!"

Although this person has a strategic vision and tactical guidance ability, he is a complete money-hungry womanizer!

Before joining the army, he wandered around various Fengyue places in Baoshan all year round.

Even his position as police captain was obtained by selling his hue.

Therefore, we don't actually need to use many troops, we only need to send a good and beautiful female agent to kill Yang Jing!

As long as Yang Jing is killed, not only can the adverse effects of the destruction of the 10th and 14th divisions of the imperial army be restored, but also the morale of the imperial army will be reinvigorated!

It can greatly deal a blow to the will to fight of the Chinese army!

It's a double win!

Because, Yang Jing has a very high reputation in the hearts of the military and civilians of China!

It is their irreplaceable anti-Japanese god of war, undefeated legend, national hero, and spiritual spine!

Yang Jing's death is a great joy for us, but it is a great sorrow for the people of China!

In particular, when it was learned that Yang Jing died on the belly of a woman, then Yang Jing, who was high above, would fall to the altar in an instant.

In this way, not only can the morale of the Chinese army be greatly damaged, but even the entire Chinese army will fall into despair.

At that time, perhaps our Imperial Japanese Army will not need to exert too much energy to destroy the entire China in one fell swoop! ”

Terauchi Shou was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately asked, "Since Muto-kun said so, there must be a suitable candidate, right?"

"Hello!" With undisguised confidence on his face, Muto Akira replied, "Yes, Your Excellency Commander! During his tenure in the Kwantung Army, he got acquainted with an excellent female agent, and she was Miss Yoshiko Kawashima!

Although this person is a native of Manchuria, he has grown up in Japan since he was a child, and has been deeply influenced and nurtured by the culture of Japan, and has been completely loyal to His Majesty the Emperor and the Japanese Empire!

During the Manchurian Incident, Miss Yoshiko Kawashima collected a large amount of extremely valuable information for our Japanese Empire, which can be said to have made great contributions!

On top of that, she's an excellent agent, proficient in marksmanship and assassination!

The most important thing is that Yoshiko Kawashima is a Shina person, and she is also very beautiful! And has already been engaged in the same spy assassination operations more than once, with very rich experience!

And for a man, when he is happy in bed, it is undoubtedly the time when his vigilance is most relaxed!

Therefore, with Yoshiko Kawashima out of the horse, she will definitely be able to kill Yang Jing, a hungry ghost in the color, with one blow! ”

After speaking, the corners of Muto Zhang's mouth couldn't help but show a confident smile, as if he had settled on Yang Jing.

Shouichi Terauchi: "Yoshiko Kawashima? I've heard of her, it seems to be the daughter of the last prince of the Qing Dynasty, her original name was Aixin Jueluo Xianyu, am I not mistaken? ”

Muto Sho paused and said, "Haiyi! That's it! ”

At the end, he didn't forget to pat a sycophant and said, "Your Excellency Commander has a good memory!" ”

After receiving the reply, Shouichi Terauchi and Naosaburo Okabe glanced at each other, and both [ ] saw a hint of joy in each other's eyes.

As men, they naturally know the nature of men very well, because they are also two old perverts, but they are suffering from their own identities and dare not be as presumptuous as their subordinates to abuse Chinese women at will.

But they also unspoken rules over many female subordinates, as well as some of the female dependents of their subordinates.

So, the old devil Shouichi Terauchi nodded and said, "Then let Miss Yoshiko Kawashima try it, if it can be successful, I will personally ask the base camp for Muto-kun to take credit!"

Muto Zhang hurriedly got up and bowed his head, and assured with a respectful face: "Haiyi! Your Excellency Commander, please rest assured, the Junior Duty Association will get in touch with the Special High Division as soon as possible and order Yoshiko Kawashima to carry out this top-secret mission! You must kill Yang Jing, the commander of the Tiger Regiment of the Zhina Army!

Use his head to comfort the heroic souls of the imperial soldiers who died tragically in his hands! ”

After a pause, Muto Zhang suggested to Terauchi Shouichi again: "Your Excellency Commander, regarding the battle situation in Xuzhou, there is another suggestion for the humble position, I don't know if I should talk about it or not?" ”

Terauchi Shouichi was quite satisfied with Muto Zhang's performance, especially for the suggestion of sending a female agent to seduce Yang Jing, so he made a deferential look, waved his hand and said, "Well, Muto-kun, do you have any suggestions?" Tell me about it!"

Muto Zhang said: "At present, the attack of the North China Imperial Army in the front is extremely unsmooth!

Among them, with the defeat of the 10th and 14th divisions of the Imperial Army, it was almost difficult to achieve constructive results on the Tianjin-Pudong railway line with only one garrison mixed into the 11th Brigade and thousands of imperial troops!

In the Linyi direction, the 5th Division, whose combat effectiveness was greatly weakened compared to the period of the Battle of Taiyuan, was also met with desperate resistance from the 40th Army and the 59th Army of China, and the progress was slow!

Even the 114th Division of the Imperial Army, which launched a surprise attack from Lianyungang, also had a series of chain reactions due to the defeat of the 10th Division and the 14th Division, which led to its collapse and crushing the village.

In this case, we might as well simply give up the frontal attack and order the 5th Division, the 114th Division, and the 11th Brigade of the Imperial Army to improve the offensive and contain it!

Then the 16th Division of the Imperial Army, which arrived by water, was directly transported by the navy from the mouth of the Yellow River to the mouth of the Yellow River and traced the Yellow River upstream.

Move to Puyang and Lanfeng, and find an opportunity to land!

Once we capture Lanfeng, we can take a detour from west to east along the Longhai Railway, capture Shangqiu and Bozhou, and then outflank the main force of the Zhina Army in the Xuzhou area!

At the same time, it can also threaten the Central Plains region of China, forcing the China Army in the Fifth War Zone to return to reinforcements, so that it cannot fully devote itself to the battle of Xuzhou!

Once this plan works, it will definitely make the Xuzhou defenders lose an inch. It is extremely advantageous for our North China Imperial Army! ”

After hearing this, Terauchi Shouichi pondered for a moment, frowned, and said: "This plan is feasible, but the 16th Division of the Imperial Army was heavily damaged by the Chinese Army in the Battle of Chuzhou before, and even the division headquarters was wiped out by this hateful Yang Jing."

Although the unit structure and strength have been restored after resting and replenishing, their combat effectiveness is definitely not comparable with the original!

This roundabout attack is likely to be surrounded by heavy troops in the 1st theater of the Chinese Army!

This is a hard battle, and we must not repeat the mistakes of the 10th and 14th Divisions in Taierzhuang!

Therefore, in this operation, a strong elite force must be dispatched! ”

When the chief of staff, Naosaburo Okabe, heard this, he thought for a while and said: "Your Excellency the commander doesn't know that the 16th Division of the Imperial Army fought in Chuzhou, although it was heavily damaged by the enemy, and even the division headquarters was wiped out by the enemy, but their main force still exists.

The backbone officers of all brigades, regiments, and wings are still alive!

After being re-replenished, the combat effectiveness has not suffered much loss!

Major General Tatsumi Kusaba, the commander of the modern division, and Major General Toichi Sasaki, the commander of the 30th Infantry Brigade, were all famous generals of the empire.

Especially Major General Kusaba Tatsuha, he uses troops strangely, has a strategic vision, and tactical command ability!

He led the 16th Division of the Imperial Army to raid Lanfeng, and it will definitely be able to achieve miraculous results!

Of course, if you are still not at ease, Your Excellency the Division Commander, we can order the 1st Independent Mixed Brigade and the 2nd Independent Mixed Brigade that have just been transferred from Shanxi to cooperate with the 16th Division in this operation to ensure that nothing goes wrong! ”

"Yo Xi!" Shouichi Terauchi nodded happily and agreed: "In this case, then do what you said from the chief of staff!" ”

Then, Okabe Naosaburo and Muto Akira began to dispatch troops, and at the same time sent Yoshiko Kawashima, who was engaged in espionage activities in Qingdao at the time, to secretly carry out the plan to assassinate Yang Jing.
