Junrokuro Matsuura is very familiar with Okamura Ninji's character, he knows that Okamura Ninji is a person who eats soft rather than hard, and this person is very protective of his shortcomings, once he says this, Okamura Ninji is likely to hesitate and immediately remove him.

But if he said it directly and strongly, maybe Okamura Ninji would take care of the overall situation, and then let his 106th Division be there, because Matsuura Junrokuro deliberately retreated like this, in order to win the sympathy of His Excellency the division commander!

After sending this telegram, Junrokuro Matsuura and the officers of the command waited patiently, and while they were patiently waiting, at the same time, in the headquarters of the Central China Front of the Japanese army, Okamura Ninji was closely watching the battle situation with the officers, and at this time, an officer ran over.

"Your Excellency Commander, an urgent message from the 106th Division!"

"Oh?" Hearing this, Okamura Ninji was a little surprised, glanced at the staff officers around him, and then frowned, and said to himself: "106 What is the purpose of sending a telegram at this time?" Could it be that the positions of the Chinese army have already been taken? ”

He didn't think so, just before the 106th Division had just sent a telegram, and it would take three days for them to take the position, and after receiving this telegram, Okamura Ninji also encouraged them to continue their efforts, but they didn't expect that it was only a short time later, and they actually sent another one.

Although he was a little puzzled in his heart, Okamura Ninji still took the message and glanced at it roughly.

He was just missing a casual glance, but just such a glance made the expression on his face suddenly change and become solemn.

The people present all watched the change in Okamura Ningji's face, and their expressions were a little unnatural, they knew that there should be some accident!

Thinking of this, these people present were a little uneasy in their hearts.

At this time, Okamura Ningji's face had become very ugly, and there was even a look of disbelief in his eyes.

This telegram was very long, he looked at it for a long time, and then he came back to his senses, put the message on the table, slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at everyone present, seeing the nervous gazes they all cast, Okamura Ninji couldn't help but shake his head, and said with a solemn face: "Something bad!" ”

"On the side of the 106th Division, there was an accident!"

"Your Excellency Commander......" Hearing this, a staff officer couldn't help but ask, "What happened to the accident?" ”

"The 106th Division is divided into two routes, all the way west to converge with the 33rd Division, all the way directly to the south, everything was going well, but not long ago, the 136th Brigade of the southward march was surrounded by the Chinese Army, and the 111th Brigade of the westward marching together with the division headquarters and the tank brigade were all surrounded by the large army of the Chinese Army, and even the Chinese Army also dispatched armored troops, which had broken through to the core area of the division headquarters at this moment, to put it simply......"

Speaking of this, he looked around at everyone present, and finally said with a solemn face: "To put it simply, the 106th Division has reached a very critical moment so far, and it may overturn at any time!" ”

"Nani!"

One word was uttered, and the four were shocked!

These Japanese staff officers at the headquarters all looked at Okamura Ningji in disbelief, and their hearts were filled with turmoil, they really couldn't believe the truth of this sentence.

But......

After all, this is what the division commander said, so it has basically been determined......

"Your Excellency, may I read the message?" A staff officer still wanted to confirm.

Hearing this, Okamura Ninji bowed slightly, and when the officer saw this scene, he hurriedly took the message and looked at it carefully, but at this glance, his face also changed drastically and became very pale.

"It's true!"

In fact, Okamura Ninji couldn't believe it was true!

After all, just before, the telegram sent by the 106th Division had always been good news, and when he received these good news, Okamura Ningji was also very pleased.

However...... Who would have thought that in a short period of time, the situation has undergone earth-shaking changes, and the 106th Division has been endangered to such a point!

You must know that in this battle of Changsha, the 106th Division played a very important role and could be regarded as a hub, but such a hub actually lost its role like this, which made Okamura Ningji suddenly feel unprepared.

It's like a game of chess, and the other party has been forced to the end of the road, and he was going to kill it in one go, but who would have thought that when he turned around, he found that he had been killed by someone else!

This is a bit ridiculous!

It even made him feel incredulous!

But whether they believe it or not, the truth is already like this, and now it is imperative that they not dwell on the question of believing or not believing, but that they need to solve it!

The 106th Division is in critical condition and may capsize at any time, what should I do about this matter?

Okamura Ninji handed them the telegram and let them all read it, and then said with a solemn face: "Tell me, now we should ...... What to do? ”

Hearing Okamura Ninji's words, these staff officers present were silent for a moment, and after a long time, one of the staff officers couldn't help but ask: "Your Excellency Commander, do you really want the 106th Division to withdraw?" ”

"Pull it down and say so? What if you don't take it down? Okamura asked.

"From this telegram from Junrokuro Matsuura, it is not difficult for us to see that he is really advancing by retreating, and wants to make Your Excellency the Commander soft-hearted to achieve his goal, but if the 106th Division is really withdrawn, it will be ...... for our battle situation."

Before he could finish speaking, Okamura Ninji interrupted him, and then he was heard snorting coldly and said, "Of course I know it too!" And there may be exaggeration in Junrokuro Matsuura's words! ”

"But...... If he is not allowed to withdraw, if the 106th Division is really wiped out, once the base camp is held accountable, how should we explain it? The annihilation of a division and a lieutenant general division commander is not a trivial matter! ”

"If the base camp is used to make a big fuss at this moment, this will definitely cause a big shock to our Central China Front and even the mainland war! So...... I can't risk it! ”

When he said this, Okamura Ninji said again: "Besides, Junrokuro Matsuura said so, this has forced our headquarters to a fork in the road, and we need to choose by ourselves, if we choose to let them defend to the death, the Central China Front Command will lose a lot of military morale from now on, after all, ...... Commanders who don't miss old feelings and don't sympathize with their subordinates, no one likes them, does they? ”
