Wuhan Japanese Army Headquarters.

Okamura Ninji was excited.

He couldn't sleep at all.

Nanchang is about to fight, which makes his depressed mood in the past few days a lot better.

He rolled twice on the bed and then jumped to his feet.

Since you can't sleep, look at the map again.

See if there's a better plan.

Now the problem in Nanchang is not big, and the most important problem at present is the troops south of the Xinqiang River in Hunan.

Tiger Cub placed heavy troops there.

There are fifteen lines of defense.

It stretches for three hundred kilometers.

It is not easy to break through the defense line and attack Changsha.

Okamura Ninji thought that his troops were relatively overstretched.

But it's nothing.

The 6th Division will soon be able to take Nanchang City.

When the time comes, it will be connected with the 106th Division, and all the problems will be solved.

Okamura Ningji saw Nanchang City beautifully.

The Nanchang City of my dreams is about to arrive.

He looked at Nanchang City carefully.

Then, Okamura Ninji was stunned for a moment.

Then he pushed his eyes and looked at Nanchang City carefully.

There was a sudden chuckle in my heart.

Will the Sixth Division be surrounded in Nanchang City?

Okamura Ninji looked at the terrain around Nanchang City.

A sense of foreboding struck suddenly.

He frowned, the more he looked at the terrain of Nanchang City, the more bottomless his heart became.

"Call Chief of Staff Aoki at once!" Okamura Ninji said to a devil.

The devil at the door didn't dare to be careless, and immediately trotted all the way to call the chief of staff of the Japanese army.

"Your Excellency, Commander, what's wrong?" The devil Aoki has just fallen asleep.

I was very upset to hear someone shouting at the door.

What's the noise?

Still don't let people sleep?

Call me to hit you again!

But when he heard that it was the commander who told him to go immediately, he shuddered.

Is this something wrong?

Soon, he ran over.

Seeing Okamura Ninji walking around the war room restlessly, the chief of staff of the Japanese army chuckled in his heart.

Needless to say, something must have happened.

Okamura Ninji saw his chief of staff coming, and immediately asked, "Is there anything unusual about the Tiger Boy's troops in Hunan recently?" ”

These words directly questioned the chief of staff of the Japanese army.

Abnormal?

The two of us nest in the war room every day, if there is anything abnormal in the Tiger Boy's troops, will you not know?

MMP。

The chief of staff of the Japanese army muttered in his heart.

However, he didn't show it on his face, but said solemnly: "There is no abnormality. If there is anything unusual, our troops will definitely send a telegram. ”

Is it?

Okamura Ninji was not at ease.

He walked to the front of the map and asked, "Look at it, the terrain of Nanchang City, does it look like a pocket?" ”

The chief of staff of the Japanese army leaned in front of the map and looked at it.

It's really like that.

But is there anything wrong with that?

He looked at Okamura Ninji suspiciously, not knowing what he wanted to express.

Okamura Ninji said worriedly: "If the Sixth Division is surrounded under Nanchang City, it will be dangerous. ”

Accept!! Buddhist nun!!!

The chief of staff of the Japanese army widened in disbelief when he heard Okamura Ninji say this.

How is this possible!

That's a division of our empire.

Tiger boy wants to eat one of our divisions in one bite?

Is he crazy?

He should know that his troops simply don't have that strength.

"Your Excellency, I think you're too worried.

Tiger Boy simply doesn't have that many troops.

Now almost all of his troops are in Hunan.

In Nanchang, it's just an army.

It is simply impossible to eat one of our divisions and regiments by relying on one army. ”

Okamura Ninji had a different opinion: "Aoki-kun, the current Sixth Division, has suffered heavy losses, at best, half a division.

And their troops, all these days, have been on the offensive.

The troops were very tired.

Plus there is no support from aircraft and heavy artillery.

The combat effectiveness of their troops is not as strong as imagined. ”

"But even if this is the case, just looking at the strength of the 60th Army in Nanchang, it can't eat our 6th Division at all."

The chief of staff of the Japanese army did not believe this speculation of Okamura Ninji at all.

"Relying only on the opponent's 60th Army, of course, it is impossible.

But what if Tiger Boy transferred troops from Hunan again? ”

Transferring troops from Hunan?

The chief of staff of the Japanese army looked at Okamura Ninji incredulously, is this possible?

Okamura Ninji asked: "The troops of Tiger Boy Hunan, which unit is closest to Nanchang?" ”

The chief of staff of the Japanese army said: "It's the Eighth Army." ”

Eighth Army?

Okamura Ningji looked at the map, and the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Army should not be underestimated.

The chief of staff of the Japanese army continued: "Although the Eighth Army is the closest to Nanchang, it is also 200 kilometers!" In a short period of time, there is no way to catch up.

If you want to encircle the 6th Division, the time is very tight.

If it takes a long time, our Sixth Division will already take Nanchang City.

And the Eighth Army, not a mechanized unit.

To get to Nanchang, it will take at least five days.

In five days, our troops had already occupied Nanchang City. ”

Is that so?

Okamura Ninji said, "No, Aoki-kun. Two hundred kilometers, their troops, if they march in a hurry, can do it. There is a precedent for this.

We cannot underestimate the combat effectiveness of the other side. ”

Okamura Ninji thought that in many wars, the speed of rapid marching was jaw-dropping.

So he believes that Tiger Boy's troops can also do it.

After all, those who participated in the Battle of Changsha this time were all real elite troops.

The chief of staff of the Japanese army was stunned: "If this is the case, then the sixth division will be in danger." ”

Okamura Ninji nodded: "Yes, if the Sixth Division is surrounded, we will not have troops to support it at all, and the closest to the Sixth Division is the 106th Division."

But it will take at least two days to get there.

Two days is too long. ”

The chief of staff of the Japanese army said: "Then the sixth division should retreat immediately?" ”

Okamura nodded heavily: "We must retreat immediately." Go give the order! ”

After finishing speaking, Okamura Ninji's eyes were fixed on the map again, thinking about how to adjust the troops.

Now the opponent's Eighth Army has arrived in Nanchang.

Then Gao'an, north of Changsha, has one less army.

In this case, the 106th Division will attack Gao'an more smoothly.

Taking Gao'an, the battle plan to encircle half of Changsha was completed.

"After ordering the 6th Division to withdraw, it immediately moved in the direction of Gao'an and joined up with the 106th Division.

Be sure to take down Gao'an. ”

"What about Nanchang?" The chief of staff of the Japanese army asked with a frown.

"Give up Nanchang."

Okamura Ninji took a deep breath.

The battle in Nanchang was completely unexpected.

Originally, he thought that Nanchang was within reach, but now it seems that not only did he not capture Nanchang, but even the Sixth Division was almost surrounded and annihilated.

The tiger boy uses soldiers, and it is really powerful.

The chief of staff of the Japanese army was shocked when he heard that Okamura was going to abandon Nanchang.

Give up Nanchang?

How can this be?

If Nanchang is abandoned, it will be difficult for Changsha to be defeated.

Even if they are defeated, with Nanchang present, their troops will be seriously threatened.

If you want to threaten Chongqing by occupying Changsha, this value will be greatly reduced.

"Commander, don't you think about it again?"

In the heart of the chief of staff of the Japanese army, in fact, he refused.

Their purpose in this war was to take Nanchang and Changsha, so that they could directly threaten a large area in the southwest.

If Nanchang had not been defeated, the strategic value of this major war, which could be said to have been greatly reduced.

Commander, doesn't he know?

Okamura Ninji nodded solemnly: "Our strategic purpose is going to change." It turned out that our purpose was to occupy Changsha.

Now, our strategic purpose is to destroy the main force of the Hunan National Army.

Most of the troops here are the main force of the old bald heads.

As long as we destroy his main force, we can deal a serious blow to his confidence.

So as to provide a psychological advantage for the next threat to Chongqing. ”

Okamura Ninji is a military man, but at the same time he has a high sensitivity to politics.

He knew very well that it was impossible for the island countries to completely occupy China.

The best way is to support another puppet like the puppet Manchukuo.

In this way, the interests of their island nation can be long-lasting.

This is the fundamental strategy of the base camp.

But these words, he could not say to his own chief of staff.

These things can only be understood, not spoken.

If the main force of the old bald head is eliminated this time, his strategic goal can also be achieved.

The base camp will not say anything about him Okamura Ningji.

The chief of staff of the Japanese army was very surprised by the adjustment of Okamura's strategic objectives.

Commander, is this a joke?

Strategic goals, how to say that the adjustment is adjusted?

Didn't you even say a word to him, the chief of staff, in advance?

That's too hasty, isn't it?

Moreover, looking at Okamura Ninji's expression, the adjustment of the strategic plan seems to have just been decided.

Isn't it possible that the 6th Division will be surrounded by the other side?

Is it that scary?

The chief of staff of the Japanese army felt that Okamura Ninji was a little too cautious.

Let's not talk about whether Tiger Boy's troops have the ability to encircle the 6th Division.

Even if it is surrounded, with the combat effectiveness of the 6th Division, it can be completely fought.

If you want to eat the 6th Division, you don't have the strength of the three armies, don't even think about it.

That's the 6th Division.

The combat power is very strong.

But now it's useless to say anything.

Now that Okamura Ninji has decided, he can only obey.

The order to retreat soon came down to Shiro Inaba.

To the great surprise of Shiro Inaba.

Okamura Ninji is a stupid pig.

My Sixth Division is about to take Nanchang City.

He told me to retreat, saying that the other side might encircle and annihilate the 6th Division.

This kind of speculation is simply ridiculous.

I'm the Sixth Division, and if the other side wants to encircle and annihilate my troops, then I need at least three corps.

Look at Nanchang, is there still an army of troops?

The 60th Army has been crippled by me.

Now I can't even find their shadows.

He had already abandoned the city and fled.

I'm about to enter Nanchang City, but you told me to retreat.

It's hilarious!
