"Yaga, how can you lose contact? Keep calling me, keep calling! ”

In the Japanese General Headquarters, Matsui Ishine was yelling loudly, and the dozens of Japanese generals and staff officers present were also gloomy and watery, and it was difficult to see the extreme.

Originally, even though they were mired in the quagmire of war, the Japanese were still full of optimism about achieving the final victory in this war, but it just took some more time.

But no one expected that in just one or two months, the situation would change abruptly!

Toneoka Kanji and Abe Norihidebu's attack on Trojan Horse County seemed to have stirred the dominoes in an instant, triggering a full-scale battle in Zhongtiao Mountain, Jiaozuo and other places, and as many as a dozen imperial divisions were affected, making the already extremely tight supply lines of the imperial army simply stretched, and at the same time, whether it was the Chongqing Front or the Eighth Route Front, they all showed unprecedented bravery, so that although the imperial army that had been invincible had destroyed countless enemies, it could not fundamentally defeat the enemy.

What's even more terrifying is that due to the temporary increase of troops on the Chongqing side, the empire had to switch from offensive to defensive because of too much loss in the previous battle and serious shortage of supplies, and could not completely defeat the Chongqing side and the Eighth Route Front Army on the battlefield around Jiaozuo in Zhongtiao Mountain as expected, and then the army was fully transferred to the Jin-Cha-Ji region, uprooting the Eighth Route and the independent regiment of the Sichuan Army in the far away road in that area, and completely controlling this area in the hands of the imperial army.

But now, not to mention the defeat, the Nakajo Yamajiao Battlefield has actually fallen into passivity, if it weren't for the fact that the Tsuneoka Kuanji Division is still deep in Trooka County, and the Kawagishi Division is still thinking about Trooka County breaking through to help the Tsuneoka Kuanji Division, I am afraid that all the divisions and regiments of the empire participating in the war this time have already fully retreated, shrinking the defense line and repairing it to wait for another battle.

After all, now, the Pacific Ocean has been firmly blockaded by Britain and the United States and other countries, and all war consumption can no longer be imported from abroad.

But now, these divisions had to continue to hold on to the situation of extremely short supplies and difficulties, and lack of men and horses, to contain the enemy in Nakajo Mountain and Jiaozuo, and to buy time for the Kawagishi Division and Toneoka Kanji's Division.

But in such a situation, Toneoka Kanji actually lost contact!

Was it all wiped out, or was it because of something else?

No one can tell!

"Your Excellency Commander, Lieutenant General Tsuneoka and Abechu attacked Trojan Horse Prefecture with nearly 50,000 people, but there were only 5,000 people left before they lost contact......

A staff officer said: "Lu Yuan's bastard is too poisonous to die, and the combat effectiveness of his men and horses is too strong, they can eat more than 40,000 people, and it shouldn't be difficult to eat the remaining 5,000 people - I think, Lieutenant General Changgang and those imperial warriors have already encountered an accident, and there is no need to rush......

"Yes, Commander, if the entire Tsuneoka Division is annihilated, and the Kawagishi Division enters Trojan County, it will be a lone advance again, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape the mistake of Lieutenant General Tsuneoka Lieutenant General Abe being deeply encircled......"

"I also think that it is better to let Lieutenant General Kawagishi withdraw his troops, so that the troops of my various departments and the China Army can be temporarily withdrawn and repaired, otherwise if the China Army continues to be consumed like this, I am afraid that the army will be defeated like a mountain......"

Many staff officers and others echoed the words, their faces were sad, and the cloud of defeat was unprecedented over their heads!

It's not just that this battle actually shows signs of a total rout, but also because of the news of the joint blockade of the Pacific Ocean by Britain and the United States and other countries, for them, this news is tantamount to a bolt from the blue - if they can't find a new channel to enrich strategic materials, the empire will be defeated!

"Gentlemen!"

At this moment, a roar came, but it was Okamura Ninji with a sad and angry face!

"Gentlemen, more than 5,000 soldiers of the Tsuneoka Division, for the empire to stay away from their homeland, to go to China, for the empire to be born and die, desperately on the battlefield, bleeding ......"

Okamura Ninji said sadly: "They are still fighting for the empire now that they have run out of ammunition and food, they are warriors, if you abandon them just because they lost contact, aren't you afraid that the imperial warriors of the rest of the tribes will chill their hearts?" If there are other troops who are under siege in the future, who is willing to desperately save them? Let's not forget that our families are looking forward to our return home, but the families of these warriors are also waiting for them......"

"Shogun Okamura, that's not what we meant......"

Hearing this, those staff officers and generals bowed their heads guiltily, for the Japanese army, which has a great sense of military honor, they are also ashamed to discuss giving up the more than 5,000 soldiers who may still have hope to be rescued here!

"General Okamura is right!"

Matsui Shigen said sadly: "The mothers of the more than 5,000 soldiers are still waiting for them to come home, we can't give them up so cruelly, if we give up on them, then what is the difference between my imperial soldiers and those branch troops?" Do you think that the soldiers of my empire are like the Chinese army, watching the fraternal troops being surrounded, but not doing anything? ”

Many staff officers and generals stopped talking, they were all people who would lead the troops to the battlefield, and no one wanted to wait for rescue in case they were under siege, but in the end they were waiting for the news that they had been abandoned and needed to fend for themselves.

"Pass my order and inform the commander of the 3rd Kawagishi Division!"

Matsui Shigen said loudly: "Order him to break through the Sanjiangkou defense line as soon as possible at all costs, attack Trojan County, and take over the rest of the Changgang Division to break through as soon as possible, and at the same time, send a large number of fighters to keep the reconnaissance of the Trooka County area at all times, and do everything possible to grasp the movements of the rest of Changgang, and there must be no mistakes!" ”

"Hey!"

Many generals cheered in unison and took the order.

"Thank you, Commander!" Okamura Ninji said gratefully.

Matsui Shigen sighed, patted Okamura Ningji on the shoulder, and said, "The empire was really killed by Lu Yuan's Kun Dan this time...... This bastard is really the nemesis of my empire......"

With the news of the joint blockade of the Pacific Ocean by Britain and the United States, and the news that Lu Yuan used the penicillin in his hand to prompt the British and American to make up their minds to blockade the Pacific Ocean, thinking of this, Matsui Shigen and all the Japanese generals were eager to bite Lu Yuan to death.

Okamura Ninji also gritted his teeth and secretly hated: "If we knew this was the case, we should have concentrated our forces at the beginning and took it down before he was fledgling at all costs, if this was the case, there would be no disaster today......"

"yes......"

Thinking of this, Matsui Shigen also stomped his feet in remorse, you know, the first time he heard the name of Lu Yuan, but on the Jiangsu Plain, before Nanjing!

At that time, the road was far away, and there was only a group of stragglers around him, and it was easy to kill him!

But now, it's too late to regret it, where did they think that the guy who used to act with just a personal bravery would bring such catastrophic consequences to the empire?
