"Chief of Staff, is there anything else?" Seeing that the chief of staff did not move, Fujino's brows that had just stretched furrowed furrowed again.

"Hi~" The chief of staff replied stubbornly!

"It's still a problem of food, there is not much food in Linfen City, and now there are two more people, and the already small amount of food is even more insufficient!"

"Don't you so many staff officers think of any solution?" Fujino asked rhetorically with a frown, his face completely unsightly!

"A solution has been thought of, but there are too many problems involved, and we dare to implement it only with the approval of the front army command!" The chief of staff immediately replied, wanting to calm Fujino's renewed anger.

"We investigated, in addition to our lack of food in the southwest of Shanxi, the Eighth Route Army is not short of food for the time being because of the capture of a large amount of our food. Because the Jin Sui army is backed by their rear, there is also no shortage of food! ”

"We are mortal enemies with the Eighth Route Army, and there is absolutely no other way to get food except to rob! Therefore, it is very difficult to get our scarce food from the Eighth Route Army! ”

"But the Jin Sui army is different, the commander-in-chief of the Jin Sui army is the soil emperor of Shanxi. In the past, it was indeed the Imperial Army of Japan that drove them out of Taiyuan, and then rushed all the way to the southwest of Shanxi. But now, many places in Shanxi have been occupied by the Eighth Route Army, and the people's hearts have also reached the side of the Eighth Route Army. Compared with our imperial army, the emperor of the Jin Sui Army may be even more taboo about the Eighth Route Army! ”

"I think that we can take advantage of this gap to reach a secret truce agreement with the Emperor of the Jin Sui Army, clean up the Eighth Route Army first, and then deal with them!"

"What they do best is to preserve their strength, and they will definitely agree to our truce!"

"Before an armistice agreement is reached, we can also make a request to use the weapons and equipment captured by the Jin Sui army to exchange for the food urgently needed by the imperial army from them!"

"Those weapons and ammunition are in the hands of the Eighth Route Army, which may cause huge losses to the imperial army. However, in the hands of the Jin Sui army, the imperial army only needs to pay a small price to recapture them! ”

Fujino frowned and didn't speak, his eyes still staring at the sand table. However, his gaze had shifted from the base area of the new regiment to the occupied area of the Jin Sui army in the southwest of Shanxi.

After a minute, the frowning brow relaxed, and then happily replied: "This idea of yours is very good, and it is also very bold!" ”

"Once we reach a temporary armistice agreement with the Jin Sui Army, then this division of our Jin Sui Army can draw at least one wing of troops to attack the base area of the new regiment from the southwest direction, and contain a lot of troops of the new regiment!"

"When the time comes, if we attack a new regiment, the odds of victory will increase a lot!"

"More importantly, our problem of food shortage has been solved~ killing two birds with one stone!"

"Report your idea to me immediately, you are right, this idea is too involved, and it must be agreed by the front army. If we act rashly, we will be an enemy, and we will go to court-martial! ”

Headquarters of the North China Front of the Japanese Army in Beiping.

The mixed brigade under the command of Major General Shibasaki was attacked by the Eighth Route Army the night before entering Linfen and suffered heavy losses.

When the news reached the headquarters, the angry Okamura Ninji smashed several cups in a row to calm down his anger.

The mixed brigade suffered heavy losses, and even if it reached Linfen, it would be impossible to kill or rebuild a new regiment in a short period of time.

Therefore, Lieutenant General Fujino's dream of using the new group as a breakthrough to make the North China sweep end quickly was shattered.

After there was no shortcut to win, Okamura Ninji could only return to his original idea and continue to confront the Eighth Route Army by fighting logistics, and consume the Eighth Route Army in North China little by little!

As soon as I walked into my office early in the morning, the chief of staff followed me in!

"Your Excellency Commander, Lieutenant General Linfen Fujino is in an urgent telegram, it is an encrypted telegram, and the humble post has been translated, the matter is too big, and you need to make a decision in person!"

"Huh?"

Okamura Ninji took the telegram, and then frowned and read it.

Soon, a look of surprise appeared on his face, followed by deep thought......

The chief of staff, who had been staring at the commander, couldn't figure out what Okamura Ninji was thinking at this moment.

"Chief of Staff, what do you think of this proposal!" Suddenly, Okamura Ninji's gaze was taken away from the telegram, and he looked up at the chief of staff and asked.

If you don't know what the commander thinks, and if you don't do it well, you will cause the commander to be dissatisfied, thinking that he has no vision and is not thoughtful about things.

However, his question had to be answered, and he had to bite the bullet.

"I think that the analysis of the head of the Fujino division is very reasonable! Now the confrontation between us and the Eighth Route Army has reached a critical moment. At this time, if you can turn enemies into friends with the Jin Sui army, no, you only need a temporary truce, the pressure on the imperial army will be much less, and there will be more troops and materials to deal with the Eighth Route Army! ”

"Not bad!" Okamura Ninji had a smile on his face, and then ordered.

"Send a telegram back to Fujino immediately, I agree with his proposal, and immediately send someone to contact the Emperor of the Jin Suijun!"

At the Second Theater Command, the commander who had eaten dinner was just about to go back to rest, when the chief of intelligence came over with a mysterious face.

No matter where he is, the person in charge of intelligence work must be the confidant of the chief.

So, as soon as the chief of intelligence appeared, the commander waved his hand and motioned for everyone else to go out!

"Sir, there is a Japanese outside who wants to see you, it is a Nakasa, it seems to be the deputy chief of staff of a division of the devil!"

"Nope!" The commander refused without hesitation.

"In the past few years, the Japanese have eaten so many troops of our Jin Sui army, and they have driven our Jin Sui army all the way from Taiyuan to here, and we have long become mortal enemies. No matter how good I am, I won't choose to meet my enemies! ”

The chief of intelligence did not leave, hesitated and suggested: "Sir, I think I should see you!" ”

"According to intelligence, the Japanese army in North China has pressed almost all of its forces in the sweep of the Eighth Route Army, and when they come to see us at this critical moment, there must be something important, maybe it has something to do with the Eighth Route Army!"

At the mention of the Eighth Route Army, the commander's brows subconsciously furrowed.

Although Jin Suijun lost most of Shanxi, he had been running Shanxi for decades after all.

Although the troops are gone, the intelligence network is still there!

Therefore, the situation in Shanxi is constantly being sent over every day!

The Japanese snatched Shanxi from their own hands, it was aggression, plundered resources from Shanxi, and the common people would definitely not stand on their side.

Once the little devil is defeated and returns to Shanxi, the people will continue to support the Jin Sui army.

But the Eighth Route Army was different, developing base areas in Shanxi, forming an anti-Japanese government, forming an army, and buying the hearts of the people!

Now there are many local people, who only have the Eighth Route Army in their eyes and not the Jin Sui Army. If this situation continues, the entire Shanxi will be reddened by the Eighth Route Army.

As soon as he thought of this, the commander had a headache.

After learning that the Japanese North China Front had gathered heavy troops to launch a new round of sweeps against the Eighth Route Army, he even had the idea that he hoped that the Japanese would inflict heavy losses on the Eighth Route Army.

Of course, the best result is that the Japanese army and the Eighth Route Army are both defeated, and their own Jin Sui army will reap the benefits of the fisherman!
