The staff officers eventually agreed to Okamura's proposal.

Because in the current situation, they really can't come up with a better plan!

In fact, as Okamura Ninji said, the current situation is the same as his analysis, which is a kind of cold state.

In order to attack Changsha, Central China mobilized 100,000 troops and almost evacuated Central China.

As a last resort, in order not to be completely annihilated by the other side, they could only declare the attack a failure and hurriedly withdraw all their troops.

Central China is empty, if the 6th Division and the 101st Division can't get out, how can the other side be able to endure and not attack in the face of the empty Central Region?

Once they attack, a battle will inevitably break out, but at that time, with the garrison of the only remaining division in Central China, how can they resist?

I can't resist it at all!

So, they can only agree, and there is no other way.

The order was quickly conveyed, and despite the fact that the situation of the Japanese army was very critical at the moment, their officers, these officers in the command, still perked up and became more united.

I have to say this.

Although the Japanese army had all kinds of disadvantages, they had one thing, that is, their discipline was very strict.

Perhaps because they have their own bushido spirit that they often boast about, these officers of the little devils are often able to burst out with very strong willpower and tenacity in the face of adversity, which is quite commendable in the world.

It is precisely because of this that during the Russo-Japanese War, the little devils were able to defeat Lao Maozi with inferior equipment, and also let their army combat effectiveness enter the sequence of the first tier in the world, not without reason.

Of course, these are all off-topic.

It's just that the strict discipline that can create such a strong combat effectiveness definitely accounts for a lot of credit.

Even though they were now at an extreme disadvantage, after the command issued the order, the entire North China region, which was close to the Japanese occupation area in the Changsha area, quickly gathered more than 20,000 troops, and then marched all the way south towards the area of the battlefield.

And that's not all.

In the future, most of the regular troops in the entire central China region will be gathered one after another, and all the way south, this part of the troops will also have a strength close to a division.

This together is about 50,000 troops, which is already all the garrison members of the Central China Front!

If these 50,000 people, together with the 6th Division and the 101st Division, were all lost to the Changsha battlefield, the huge Central China region would become a blank area, a place for the defenders to take what they wanted!

For the Japanese army, the risk of doing so was extremely high!

But they already have no choice!

Even if you know that the road ahead is dangerous, you can only go all the way.

If you don't save it, you will definitely die, and if you do, there may be a great risk, but there is still a glimmer of life.

And this is Okamura Ninji's choice.

Desperate, ruined, and desperate...... Any of the same words and idioms can be placed on Okamura Ninji at this time, because only these words may be able to describe Okamura Ninji at this moment.

He's ...... There is no way back!

The Japanese army's large-scale mobilization of troops, of course, could not be concealed from those with intentions, and in fact, Okamura Ninji was not able to conceal those with intentions at all, and he had no intention of concealing it.

Okamura Ninji is going to put on a posture of fighting against the water, on the one hand, he is forced to fight, and on the other hand, he is forcing the other party.

He was persecuting Xue Yue.

If I am given a way out, then this battle will naturally be spared, and great losses can be avoided, if the 6th Division and the 101st Division are forcibly left, then I can only press all the chips and win a way to survive.

If the battle is forced, it is true that two divisions can be left, but the 50,000 troops and hundreds of fighters of more than one brigade and regiment that have been reinvested will also be put into this battle.

It is conceivable that it will definitely fight very badly.

At the very least, even if one side wins, the other side will lose a lot of money, and its vitality will be greatly damaged.

Okamura Ningji, this is persecuting Xue Yue and forcing him to make a choice!

Whether to continue the battle, or to give a way to live, whether to force a decisive battle and lose both, or stay for later, it depends on Xue Yue's choice.

……

The General Headquarters of the Battle of Changsha

This command center is only a temporary command headquarters set up on the front line, which was set up by General Xue Yue himself, and it is only twenty miles away from the battlefield, which can be said to be very dangerous, and no commander will set up his own command here.

But General Xue Yue is here!

And this command was set up by his own order!

From the beginning of the war to the present, he has always stayed in this command to make judgments and orders, and led 300,000 troops to force the Japanese army to such a situation in this small command center.

It can be said that in this command center, there is the countless hard work and sweat of Xue Yue and even countless staff officers and officers in the headquarters.

He has also witnessed countless firsts.

For the first time, the commander of a Japanese division was captured alive on a frontal battlefield.

For the first time, in a large-scale battle, a division of the Japanese army was completely annihilated head-on.

For the first time, in a large-scale battle, two divisions of the Japanese army were besieged and killed head-on.

For the first time, the Japanese army was forced into such a situation.

……

Every first time is an incomparably high honor, and every first time is an incomparably enviable record.

And the person who did all this was in the command at this time, frowning.

In a small combat conference room, General Xue Yue stood at the top, and behind him, a wooden board was hung, and a map was pasted on the board.

And in front of him, there were sitting generals, all of whom were officers and staff officers.

They were all commanders from various battlefields, and after receiving Xue Yue's order, they immediately rushed over to participate in this meeting.

At this moment, they were all sitting straight, waiting for General Xue Yue to speak.

Chen Qingzhi also sat here, and he sat in the lower position.

It stands to reason that he is not qualified as a regimental commander for this meeting, but because his independent regiment is stationed in Changsha City and is personally responsible for a battlefield, he still came over.

Even if he just sits at the end of the lower head - after all, his military rank is here, and these people here are all higher than him, and they are all his superiors, and even if he has countless credits, he can only sit at the bottom of the seat.
