Okamura Ninji smiled bitterly: "Kinoshita-kun doesn't have to be so pessimistic, although the war of the imperial army in the southwest is indeed unsatisfactory, but the other occupied areas are becoming more and more consolidated, under the majesty of the imperial army, the Soviet Union has also given up strong assistance to the national government, the national government is actually the battle of trapped beasts, Jiang Haoran's strength of a force will not have much impact on the pattern of the entire Chinese battlefield, the reason why he is laissez-faire is to avoid its edge, but also a kind of strategic forbearance, once the imperial army waves south, the sun flag sweeps Southeast Asia, With the acquisition of abundant strategic resources, with the industrial base of the Great Japanese Empire, it will be able to completely recover its vitality in less than a year, and then it will definitely blitz the Yunnan-Guizhou region. Even though Jiang Haoran can defy the sky in battle, how can he hold up a weak China with his own strength? Therefore, Kinoshita-kun, there is no need to worry too much about the current battle situation, the victory will eventually belong to the imperial army of the Great Japanese Empire. ”

"Yo Xi!" When Kinoshita heard this, his expression suddenly brightened, and he nodded again and again. As the chief of staff, he is undoubtedly competent, but compared with Okamura Ninji, his strategic vision is not half a star.

Subsequently, Okamura Ninji also told Kinoshita that there was reliable information that the military commanders in Central China might face major changes, and that his own defeat along the way might be affected, so it was unknown whether he would be transferred back to the base camp or continue to stay on the Chinese battlefield. Therefore, it is especially necessary to be cautious during this time, and if you do less or even no more, you will make fewer mistakes or even be good, and you can get through this dangerous period smoothly.

But things are always unsatisfactory, and there are some things that cannot be avoided even if you want to. When night came, four divisions in the three directions of Yingtan, Shangrao, and Quzhou sent urgent telegrams one after another, and they were fiercely attacked by the Zhina Army at the same time.

By the time Okamura Ninji arrived at the headquarters, the telephones and telecommunications of the entire headquarters rang one after another, and the staff officers and generals walked through it, and they were already in a mess.

This sudden change also caught Okamura Ningji off guard, he didn't expect it at all, he Jiang Haoran actually dared to take the initiative to provoke a war against the imperial army, the imperial army was temporarily facing a predicament, the divisions and regiments urgently needed to rest, and all kinds of materials were insufficient, but no matter what, it was stronger than the two remnants of the army who had just escaped, Jiang Haoran was simply too deceitful, and it was really muddy that his eleventh army was pinched in the mud, Okamura Ningji was furious for a while, and suddenly had the belief of fighting with Jiang Haoran.

But after calming down, this belief slowly retreated, Jiang Haoran's troops except for the special operations division are considered elite, although the other two new armies are fully organized, but after all, they have just escaped the catastrophe, and they themselves have suffered heavy losses, and they are obviously in urgent need of rest, plus the newly occupied cities, they are also in urgent need of repairing complete fortifications, in case the imperial army counterattacks, but Jiang Haoran raised troops at this time to attack rashly, which is very unreasonable, is he not afraid that the imperial army will defeat his frontal division and seize the three cities along the line?

There must be a demon when things go wrong, although from the perspective of the layout of the entire campaign, the Chinese army attacked on all fronts, and there was a suspicion that the imperial army was forced to retreat with the intention of copying the road behind Nanchang, but its quick success and quick benefits were too obvious, and the Chinese army itself had not yet gained a firm foothold, how could it take the initiative to provoke such a big battle, it stands to reason that the imperial army did not encircle and suppress them, they should burn high incense, and for the time being, I don't doubt that they have the ability to defeat Nanchang in the current situation, at least in the short term, they can't do it, and once Nanchang is attacked, The imperial army doesn't want to fight this battle anymore, it will inevitably increase a large number of troops, in this way, Nanchang may not be able to fight, the three cities that Jiang Haoran just occupied can take advantage of the situation to enter the encirclement of the imperial army, this kind of stupid tactics that cause trouble Jiang Haoran will use?

Collecting the urgent messages of various divisions, Okamura Ningji discovered a strange phenomenon, only the Zhina Army attacked head-on in the direction of Yingtan and Shangrao, but the 140th Division in the direction of Quzhou was besieged by the Zhina Army on all sides, and the offensive was extremely fierce, and there were even large-caliber artillery attacks from the rear. Confirm the intensity of the attack in all directions to the 140th Division again, and learn that except for the 157th Division, which is slightly weaker to the west, I don't know how many men and horses there are in other directions? The corners of Okamura Ninji's mouth showed a hint of hideousness.

At twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, the battlefield of Kaihua County, the continuous offensive has been close to three hours, but the Japanese army is much more stubborn than imagined.

Looking at the fires and rumbling noises brought by the shells that fell into the Japanese defense area from time to time, Jiang Haoran looked solemn, he faintly felt a little uneasy, but he didn't know what the problem was?

Just when Jiang Haoran was deep in thought, Leng Rushuang sent a telegram from the new 23rd Special Operations Division, the new 23rd Brigade, under the leadership of Zhang Linghu, cut through the defense line of the 157th Division of the Japanese Army, and the 157th Division of the Japanese Army retreated in the direction of Nanchang, asking whether to pursue?

Jiang Haoran was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, although the combat effectiveness of the special operations division was good, and it was not impossible for a brigade to defeat a division of the Japanese army, but this time seemed to be too fast, a bit like the Japanese army deliberately releasing water.

Jiang Haoran immediately ordered Leng Rushuang to confirm how much resistance the 23rd Brigade encountered in the offensive and how many casualties it caused.

Zhang Linghu quickly replied that when they first entered the state of attack, the resistance they encountered was indeed very great, but after fighting for less than an hour, they felt that the Japanese army had reduced its strength, and there was a suspicion of retreating.

"Not good!" Jiang Haoran exclaimed, the enemy retreated in batches, that is to say, in which direction the enemy's main force retreated, Zhang Linghu could not say why. Jiang Haoran hurriedly ordered the staff officer to take out the military map, and several snow-white flashlights suddenly shone on the spread map.

Soon, Jiang Haoran's hand was designated on the word "Taixi", which was the ambush location of the new 11th Division, judging from the map, there were many mountains and winding roads, which was the best ambush location to go to Dexing, but the mountain terrain made it possible, if the enemy troops entered from the direction of Dexing, the back of the ambush soldiers was almost completely exposed under the enemy's guns.

What Jiang Haoran was worried about was that the Japanese 157th Division did not retreat to the direction of Nanchang, but covered up people's eyes and ears, and divided troops to Kaihua for reinforcements, if the reinforcements alone were good, the momentum along the way would definitely arouse the vigilance of the new 11th Division, but if the enemy had seen through Jiang Haoran's ambush intentions and went straight to the new 11th Division, then the new 11th Division would be dangerous, and if the ambush failed, it would be ambushed by the enemy - 4679 + 829016 - >
