"Your Excellency General, at the moment, our army is physically and mentally exhausted, and it is not suitable for war with the enemy army at all, please think twice!"

Chief of Staff Shigeta Tetsuo frowned, and hurriedly spoke to stop the division commander Ogisu Libing, who was in a fit of rage.

"My dignified Third Division has more than 10,000 imperial warriors, even if the entire 51st Division of China is dispatched, it is only the same number as our army, not to mention that the other side has divided its manpower to deal with the Fifth Brigade, so how many enemy troops can there be this time?"

The commander of the 13th Division, Ogisu Libing, continued to speak angrily.

"Your Excellency, this is what the lowly post is worried about."

"What's your concern?" Ogishu asked in some surprise.

"Your Excellency General, please think about it, how many troops are there in the 51st Division of China, and how many troops are there in the 5th Brigade? Even if the 51st Division of China has more troops than the 5th Brigade, how much more?

Earlier, Ichiro Yamazato had sent a telegram saying that they had been ambushed by a large force of the 51st Division and had suffered heavy casualties.

With the bravery of our Imperial Japanese Army, how much truth do you think the content of Ichiro Yamazato's telegram is? ”

"This ......"

Chief of Staff Shigeta Tetsuo's series of rhetorical questions made Ogisu Libing fall into deep thought all of a sudden, yes, with the strength of the 51st Division, even if the whole army is dispatched, it would be good to be able to fight a draw with the Fifth Brigade, as for the heavy casualties of the Fifth Brigade, how is this possible?

Especially this time, the 51st Division also gathered heavy troops to attack their 13th Division.

Ogisu Libing is not a stupid person, on the contrary, he can become the commander of the lieutenant general division of Japan, whether he is leading troops to fight, or commanding and analyzing, he has very outstanding skills.

Just thinking about it, he found that it was boring.

"Shigeda-kun, what do you mean?" After Ogizhou Libing pondered for a moment, an imperceptible cold color suddenly appeared on his face, and he asked with a frown.

"In my opinion, the 51st Division of China did not attack the Fifth Brigade at all, and the reason why Ichiro Yamanzato said that was simply made up out of thin air.

On the contrary, I guess Ichiro Yamanzato did not even launch an attack on the 51st Division of China, but waited quietly in the back, waiting for our division to attack first, and then they would pick up the bargain.

I have to say that Ichiro Yamanzato is really too insidious! ”

"Yaga!"

Finally, Ogisu could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, because Chief of Staff Shigeda Tetsuo's analysis coincided with him.

Several little devil officers next to him, after hearing the analysis of Chief of Staff Shigeda Tetsuo, on the one hand, felt that his analysis was very reasonable, and on the other hand, they also deeply hated Ichiro Yasatoyama and his Fifth Brigade.

"Shigeda-kun, in your opinion, what should we do now?"

"Your Excellency General, if the expectations of the humble post are good, the 51st Division of China is in ruins, and it plans to break through from us.

Because they were besieged in the Myeongguang area by our 13th Division and Ichiro Yamazato's 5th Brigade, if they did not have enough ships to retreat north from Hongze Lake, they would have to retreat to the east or west.

To the east is the 5th Brigade, and perhaps in the face of the 5th Brigade, the 51st Division of China has the strength to fight, but don't forget that behind the 5th Brigade is the 29th Brigade of the 3rd Division, which can be supported at any time.

It can be said that even if the 51st Division of China can break through the defense line of the 5th Brigade, it will eventually fall into the encirclement of the 3rd Division.

The 3rd Division is different from our 13th Division, and our 13th Division has suffered serious attrition; And even if the Third Division is not full, it is definitely not a lot of attrition.

Therefore, if the 51st Division of China wants to break through, the only way to break through is from our 13th Division.

If Wang Yaowu, the commander of the 51st Division, was not a fool, they would definitely break through today, because after today, our encirclement has already been formed, and if we want to break through again, I am afraid that there will be no chance.

If it is not expected by the humble position, the enemy's attack last night was to prepare for today's breakthrough. ”

The analysis of the chief of staff, Shigeta Tetsuo, has already convinced all the little devils present, including their division commander, His Excellency, Ogisu Libing.

It's just the most important thing, although Shigeta Tetsuo has analyzed so much, he hasn't talked about the most critical place yet.

So Ogishu Libing asked again: "Shigetian-kun, in your opinion, what should we do now?" ”

"Your Excellency General, the enemy army is menacing at the moment, and it is even very likely that the entire 51st Division of China will be dispatched, and our soldiers are physically and mentally exhausted, and they can't give full play to their original combat effectiveness at all, so I suggest that ours should retreat first!"

"Nani? What do you mean that we just let them go? ”

Ogisu was furious, and although he also agreed with Shigeta Tetsuo's analysis, he never thought of letting the 51st Division escape.

"Your Excellency, General, I didn't mean that." Chief of Staff Tetsuo Shigeta hurriedly explained.

"And what do you mean?"

"Your Excellency General, they have an allusion in China, which is called one drum, then decline, and three exhaustion.

At present, our soldiers are physically and mentally exhausted, and if a full-scale war is waged with the 51st Division, even if they can withstand their attack or even annihilate them completely, the price our army will definitely pay will not be small. ”

Speaking of this, Shigeta Tetsuo suddenly paused.

Ogisu didn't interject, because he knew that Shigeta Tetsuo was about to get to the most critical point.

At the same time, he also knew that what Shigeta Tetsuo said was already very conservative.

With the current momentum of the enemy's army, they may not even be able to withstand the enemy's current attack, and it is even more impossible to annihilate them all.

"In our humble opinion, ours can retreat back to a certain depth, and then look for favorable terrain to hold back the enemy.

At that time, the enemy army will not have the momentum to break through, and it will be impossible to break through, and at that time, we can combine the fifth brigade to encircle and annihilate it in the Mingguang area!

Although Ichiro Yamasato is not a thing, in this regard, it is expected that he will not dare to slack off and derelict his duties, otherwise, we can go to the commander and sue him.

When the time comes, don't say that he Ichiro Yamazato will not be able to eat and walk around, but I'm afraid that he Fujita Jin will be punished for this! ”

Tetsuo Shigeta continued to state his plans.

"Yo Xi, Shigeta-kun, what you said makes a lot of sense, so, just do as you say!"

Whether it was Shigeta Tetsuo's analysis or Shigeta Tetsuo's plan, Ogisu was very satisfied.

Therefore, when Shigeta Tetsuo finished speaking, Ogishu Libing directly made a decision......
