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 also gave up strong assistance to the national government, the national government is actually the battle of the trapped beasts, the strength of Qin Feng's army 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 fully recover in less than a year, and then it will definitely blitzkrieg the Yunnan-Guizhou region. Even though Qin Feng 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 with reliable information, the military commanders in Central China may face major changes, and his own defeat along the way may be affected, as for whether he will be transferred back to the base camp or continue to stay in the Chinese battlefield, it is unknown? 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 Qin Feng 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 seriously insufficient, but no matter what, it was stronger than the two remnants of the army who had just escaped, Qin Feng was simply too deceitful, and when his eleventh army was made of mud, Okamura Ningji was furious for a while, and immediately had the belief to fight with Qin Feng.

But after calming down, this belief slowly retreated, Qin Feng's troops were elite except for the special operations division, although the other two armies were fully formed, but after all, they had just escaped the catastrophe, and they had suffered heavy losses, and they were obviously in urgent need of rest, plus the newly occupied cities, they also urgently needed to repair and complete fortifications, in case the imperial army raised a counterattack, but Qin Feng raised troops to attack rashly at this time, 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, and it will inevitably increase a large number of troops, so that Nanchang may not be able to fight, and the three cities that Qin Feng just occupied can take advantage of the situation to enter the encirclement of the imperial army, will Qin Feng use this stupid tactic of causing trouble?

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 slight weakness to the west of the 157th Division, 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, outside the county town of Kaihua, fighting to the death, that is, not according to Qin Feng's plan to break through to the west, the battle has fallen into a stalemate for a while.

Looking at the flames and rumbling noises brought by the shells that fell into the Japanese defense area from time to time, Qin Feng's face was solemn, he faintly felt a little uneasy, but he didn't know what the problem was?

Just when Qin Feng was deep in thought, Ye Lili 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 if it was to pursue?

Qin Feng was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt that it was not good, 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.

Qin Feng immediately ordered Ye Lili 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!" Qin Feng exclaimed, and the enemy retreated in batches, that is to say, in which direction the enemy's main force retreated, Zhang Linghu couldn't say why. Qin Feng hurriedly ordered the staff officer to take out the military map, and several snow-white flashlights suddenly shone on the spread map.

Soon, Qin Feng'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 situation made it, 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 Qin Feng was worried about was that the Japanese 157th Division did not retreat to the direction of Nanchang, but covered people's eyes and ears and divided troops to Kaihua for reinforcements.
