Just when Chen Qingzhi was so measured, the Battle of Changsha was still going on.

The battles between southern Hunan and northern Hunan are still in full swing, and the two sides are still in stalemate and confrontation.

On the battlefield, the gunfire almost never stopped, people on both sides were fighting fiercely for a position, and people kept falling on the battlefield, and people kept falling in pools of blood, but they could no longer stand up.

The brutality of the battlefield is vividly displayed here.

And in such a situation, the soldiers on both sides did not hesitate at all, and they were still fighting without hesitation.

With the stalemate, the casualties on both sides are also continuing to increase, the casualties of both soldiers are very heavy, although the casualties on the Japanese side are less than those of the defenders, but they have fewer soldiers after all, and under the stalemate, the material consumption is extremely large, it is very difficult.

On the other hand, the defenders have an army of 300,000, and although they suffer heavy casualties, they still have the spare strength to support.

And because General Xue Yue, Luo Zhuoying and others had already been ranked, they were in a stalemate with the Japanese army on the surface, and secretly mobilized the army, so as to sit firmly in Diaoyutai, but they were not very worried.

Under such circumstances, after a stalemate between the two sides for half a month, the time came to the end of September.

In addition to the loss of nearly 20,000 soldiers in the previous 106th Division by total annihilation, the total number of Japanese soldiers killed in the stalemate during this period of stalemate has exceeded 10,000.

This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that this difficulty is not only reflected in the soldiers, but also in the materials! Because the battle line is too long, it takes a long time to transport the materials from the north, not to mention the consumption, just this distance, it is very difficult to transport the materials safely.

Because of this long transportation line, it was very difficult for the Japanese army to take care of it comprehensively, and once they could not take care of it, they would be attacked and harassed by various guerrillas and volunteers.

If you don't pay attention to it, you will be attacked by sneak attack, and once you lose it, you will lose all your money.

Under such circumstances, the material consumption of the Japanese army was very serious, and it was even unsustainable.

As a result, the base camp has expressed its dissatisfaction many times in recent times, believing that the Central China Front has not contributed at all, and has even instructed Okamura Ninji to increase progress, however, as the commander of the Central China Front, Okamura Ninji is also unable to speak.

This situation is now completely out of his control!

At the beginning, he made a battle plan for a slow attack, but halfway through, he realized that he might have made a dizzy battle plan, but by this step, it was already too late!

The spirit of the empire has dissipated, and the possibility of wanting to take the other party in one go is already very small, and the materials on their side have begun to be very tight, and the soldiers are becoming more and more stretched, on the contrary, the other party has been dealing calmly, and even with the delay of time, the other party's advantage has gradually become obvious.

In such a situation, how easy is it to speed up the process?

In the command of the Japanese army

Okamura Ninji sat in the headquarters, sighing for a long time, his face cloudy and uncertain, showing all kinds of hesitant looks.

Just now, the base camp sent another telegram asking him to speed up the progress, and even those supporters behind him said that his actions have made many people dissatisfied, and even they are about to lose their support!

This made Okamura Ninji feel a lot of pressure!

What could he do?

What could he do?

Now they are already riding a tiger, so they can only continue to persevere, otherwise, if they change the current situation, they are likely to fail!

Yes, the most important thing they should do now is to continue to maintain, the other party seems to be firmly seated in the Diaoyutai and has a backhand, but Okamura Ninji doesn't believe that the other party will really be able to hold on for a long time!

He absolutely didn't believe it!

It's just that he can think like this, but the base camp won't do this!

They only saw that Okamura Ningji did not have any proud achievements, and they only saw that the situation in the Battle of Changsha was very difficult, and they even saw that they were struggling at the moment!

But they never thought that since they were all so difficult, how could the other party be easy?

How can the other party be the other party that they can solve quickly?

Master moves, life and death in an instant, and between the moves, in order to estimate the strength of the other party, must be a trial, now the temptation has not been done, the other party does not know how many hole cards there are, so hurriedly and the other party to the death, this is definitely the way to die!

However, those people in the base camp would never have thought of this!

They still naively think that the empire is invincible, they still think that the Chinese army is vulnerable, they still refuse to wake up in a dream, but they don't know that the situation is not two years ago!

"Alas, the times are difficult, why doesn't the empire understand our difficulties?" Rao is Okamura Ningji, and at this moment, he also felt a sense of helplessness that he couldn't do it.

For the first time, he felt how much pressure it was to sit in this position!

"Your Excellency, is there any difficulty?" Just as Okamura was sighing here, an officer came over and asked softly.

"Look, this is a message from the base camp just now!" Okamura Ninji handed the telegram in his hand to the staff officer and said.

The staff officer nodded, then turned his gaze to the message, and after looking at it carefully for a while, his face finally changed.

"Your Excellency, Commander......" He seemed to want to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he did not know what to say.

And Okamura Ninji also sighed, then shook his head and said: "Just say what you want, the matter has come to this, what else can't be said!" ”

"Your Excellency, Commander...... What are you going to do now? The staff officer nodded, was silent for a while, and then put the message on the table and said in a deep voice.

"What to do? What else can be done? Okamura Ninji said: "The persecution of the base camp is even worse, this is the fifth telegram in half a month, and the people above me can't stand it, if it continues, I'm afraid the base camp will start to move me, if it really goes to that point, the situation will change irreversibly!" ”

"For the sake of the overall situation, for the sake of the empire, I can only give in!" Okamura Ninji was a little depressed and said in a low voice.

He himself can't stand it!
