Chapter 658: A Last Resort
What Okamura Ninji didn't expect was that he hadn't thought of a suitable way for the predicament in front of him, and things that made him collapse one after another.
When the chief of staff, Isamu Kinoshita, walked into the command headquarters with a dark face, Okamura Ninji's heart suddenly ushered in a short period of colic, and there was no need for Kinoshita Isamu to speak, as soon as he saw his expression, Okamura Ninji knew that it was afraid that something more terrifying was coming.
Although he didn't dare to face it, he couldn't hide after all, Okamura Ninji took the message and looked at it, and his face was suddenly like ashes, and his body fell on the Taipan chair like a belt, and then his eyes suddenly rolled up, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
"Old Sir!"
"Your Excellency, General!"
The command headquarters suddenly shouted, helping and caressing, pinching people, calling doctors, and serving tea and water, and it was a mess of porridge.
Fortunately, it was not the first time that Okamura Ningji vomited blood and fainted, and when he fought with Qin Feng for the first time in Nanjing, Okamura Ningji was so angry that Qin Feng vomited blood, so the senior staff officers of this command still have some experience. A brapeeau pinch, plus the doctor came quickly, gave two injections with Okamura Ningji, and immediately performed an infusion, and after a while, Okamura Ningji woke up quietly.
What the telegram said was that 15 minutes earlier, the special operations division under the 40th Group Army launched a frantic attack on Yingtan.
How can this keep Okamura Ninji from vomiting blood, and Yingtan was attacked? But the defenders of Yingtan are only a wing and a division of the ≈ Imperial Army, which was originally horned by Nanchang and Nanchang at the same time, and this strength is completely sufficient, but now Nanchang has taken care of itself, and the defenders of Yingtan are facing a special operations division like a wolf like a tiger with Qin Feng, and the possibility of holding on can only be zero.
Once Yingtan is lost, it means that all the reinforcements supporting Quzhou cannot arrive, just relying on the defenders of a brigade in Quzhou plus a brigade of the Imperial Association Army, as well as a small force collected from various counties, the total strength is less than 10,000, facing the attack of Qin Feng's nearly 100,000 troops, thinking that Quzhou has nothing to do with itself.
When Kinoshita Yong received this telegram, his first reaction was to fan the intelligence staff officer left, right, and right more than a dozen ear scrapers, and directly slapped the intelligence staff officer's face into a pig's head, and the special operations division left the Lishui base, detoured from Lishui and Fuzhou, and marched hundreds of miles to Yingtan.
Although Okamura Ninji was extremely weak after vomiting blood and fainting, he still stood up again, and proved with his actions that the samurai of the Great Japanese Empire were not so easily defeated.
Okamura Ninji ordered Kinoshita to quickly report the situation to the Central China Dispatch Army Headquarters, and requested that the 133rd Division in the direction of Hangzhou be urged to quickly support Quzhou at all costs, and that all air forces in Central China should immediately rise into the air and bombard the China Army everywhere indiscriminately in order to contain the offensive of the China Army. And report the latest battle plan to the command for approval.
After encountering this war, Okamura Ninji no longer dared to assert himself, although he could not avoid taking responsibility for it, but at this time, he could only share a little bit of it.
Soon, Okamura Ninji's latest battle plan was approved, and General Shunji Hata did not reprimand Okamura Ninji more, but only instructed him to annihilate Qin Feng at all costs.
The tactical level of General Shunroku Hata of the Central China Command is not necessarily higher than that of Okamura Ninji, and with such a chaotic situation, he will be able to sort out where to figure it out for a while, so he has to take Okamura Ninji to do it.
The battle situation along the line was out of control, Okamura Ningji had no choice but to lock his eyes on Qin Feng, and ordered the soldiers of the 157th Division and the 140th Division to divide into three routes and immediately launch an attack along the escape route of Qin Feng's troops, and annihilate them in Huangshan and Quzhou at all costs.
At the same time, the 156th Division continued to rush to Shangrao to prevent the Special Operations Division from reinforcing Quzhou.
The 141st Division immediately left Jingdezhen and cooperated with the 157th Division and the 140th Division to encircle and suppress the Qin Feng Division.
Okamura Ningji knew very well that now only by annihilating Qin Feng in the territory of Huangshan and Quzhou, all attacks on the periphery would stop, and the predicament in front of him would immediately become clear.
But at the same time, he also understands very well that his chances of success are not great, and in terms of time, the special operations division captured Yingtan this afternoon, which is an ironclad thing. Then they will immediately march to Shangrao, and the time to reach Shangrao may be tomorrow morning, and although the 156th Division can reach Shangrao this evening, will it be able to withstand the attack of the special operations division? This is a big question, Okamura Ninji can only pin on the special operations division is a light raid, and does not carry heavy weapons to siege the city, the 156th Division can win a little more time, but this time will not be too long.
An iron-blooded unit that can swallow the two permanent divisions of the Imperial Army in one go, and the 156th Division, a C division, alone cannot stop the advance of the special operations division. Once the city of Shangrao is broken, the defenders of Quzhou will be like paper paste, and they will be destroyed and submerged by the Zhina army in an instant.
Therefore, the time for Okamura Ningji to annihilate Qin Feng was only two days at most, which was still an optimistic and conservative estimate.
There is another important factor, although the troops in Qin Feng's hands now are six divisions in terms of establishment, they are actually two group armies, and because of this, he calmly escaped under the encirclement and suppression of the four divisions of the imperial army, and now can only two divisions annihilate them?
Okamura Ningji was very confused, and could only hope that after Qin Feng's troops had gone through several tough battles, there was little ammunition left, which was also the capital he was determined to gamble on, and at this point, he had no choice but to do it.
After the order was given, Okamura Ninji burned incense and bathed in incense, praying that Amaterasu would bless his people for victory in the battle.
At about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, in a certain mountain forest between Huangshan and Quzhou, Qin Feng and his troops were resting and recuperating, and they had been marching in a hurry all along, but more and more enemy planes were circling overhead, and from time to time they were carrying out dive-strafing and bombing.
As soon as the radio station was set up, good news came from all walks of life, first the battle in Nanchang had begun, then the New Fourth Army had successfully captured the railway, the Japanese 133rd Division was still more than 200 miles away from Quzhou, and then the special operations division had successfully taken Yingtan, and the acting division commander Zhang Linghu would lead his troops to continue the attack and advance.
This series of good news made Qin Feng almost happy, and ordered Ye Lili to immediately report these situations to Liu Jian and Ding Chenglai, so that the brothers could also be happy, and at the same time boost their morale.
Wang Dingyuan unconsciously sat down next to Qin Feng again, handed Qin Feng a camel cigarette, and smiled and said that it was to celebrate.
Qin Feng accepted it calmly, Wang Dingyuan helped him light a cigarette and said casually: "Boss, I didn't expect the New Fourth Army to really do this, I used to always say that they swim without fighting, resist without fighting, it seems that they can still fight a tough battle?" ”
