Although the Japanese fighters are still raging, they are much better than before.

The pressure on the defenders has been greatly reduced, and the combat power that can burst out is naturally more powerful.

The Japanese fighters saw that they could not cause great trouble to the enemy, but their own side was shot down from time to time, and as a last resort, after continuing to wander for a while, they finally withdrew.

It's just that when they flew away, six fighters had already been shot down in front and back.

The losses were devastating.

Of course, as soon as the Japanese fighters flew away, it was the infantry of the little devils who were uncomfortable.

Originally, it was very difficult for them to attack with the assistance of fighter planes, but now that the fighters are gone, they will not be able to continue the offensive to a great effect.

The opponent's persistence is very stubborn, and although it can open up the situation if it attacks desperately, the loss is not something they can bear!

After all, the other side also has an army of nearly 100,000 troops, and if they encounter a desperate attack by all the enemies, I am afraid that by the time the other side is completely defeated, their own army of more than 50,000 will also be lost.

They were rescuers, but they didn't want to put themselves in it.

At this time, the Japanese army did not know the situation in the Xiangbei battlefield, and they thought that the two divisions in the Xiangbei battlefield were still holding on.

Although the 6th and 101st Divisions of the Japanese Army had also sent farewell messages to the Central China Front in Xianning before they were annihilated, it would take some time for the news to reach them.

Speaking of which, we have to talk about the reaction of the Central China Front of the Japanese army.

……

Xianning, Headquarters of the Central China Front.

Okamura looked at the telegram in his hand and was silent.

This was a farewell message from the 6th Division and the 101st Division.

It had been sent three hours ago, and for three hours, Okamura Ninji had been silently holding this message, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

No one knows what Okamura Ninji is thinking at this time, but it can be guessed that Okamura Ninji's mood is definitely not very good.

After all, the two divisions were annihilated, and all the troops that launched the Battle of Changsha were annihilated, and no one would be in a good mood if the battle was lost.

But what puzzled these officers and staff officers in the command was that Okamura Ninji didn't say anything, and he didn't even lose his temper. After he got this message, he sat there, staring at the message in a daze, silent.

The staff officers next to him were a little worried, and wanted to persuade one or two, but they didn't know how to speak.

Okamura Ninji is very complicated in his heart, and this complex emotion contains anger, unwillingness, helplessness, coldness, and despair.

He wanted to lose his temper, but for some reason, he didn't even have the strength to lose his temper, and he sat here, as if he was frozen, and he couldn't even move.

He wanted to shout loudly, but he couldn't do it anyway. His lips moved, but he didn't say anything.

He didn't know why, and he didn't want to know.

He was just wondering why.

Why did the battle turn out to be the situation in front of us?

The 100,000 imperial army attacking Changsha seemed to be invincible at that time, but who would have thought that in just a month and a half, the 100,000 army was completely lost and annihilated by the other side.

And his last 50,000 troops drawn from Central China were also pinned down by the other party, and they couldn't advance or retreat.

In the current situation, before the start of this battle, Okamura Ninji did not expect it in any way!

After seeing the farewell messages sent by the two divisions, he kept thinking, why is this?

Why is it like this!

Why is this happening!

But Okamura Ninji is destined not to find the answer!

Maybe...... He won't get this answer for the rest of his life!

Because Okamura Ninji is an aggressor, he knows that a force only needs to have sophisticated weapons and strong soldiers to be invincible, but what he doesn't know is that in the war between justice and injustice, although the righteous side is weak, they have a power that the invader has never had!

That is, they are fighting to defend their homeland!

For the peace of the country, for the homeland not to be destroyed, for the relatives not to be killed, this is a kind of guardian power, this is a powerful faith, such a force is stronger than any faith, more powerful!

The bushido spirit that they are proud of, the military literacy of the soldiers they often flaunt, and even the powerful weapons and equipment seem so insignificant among the people with lofty ideals who have gone forward one after another!

Be!

The Republic of China is weak!

The military literacy of the soldiers of the defenders is low, and their weapons and equipment are indeed backward, but they are not afraid of death, they go forward and follow, and they do not care about themselves!

They know that if they don't fight, they will be slaves, they know that if they don't drive out the invaders, their children and grandchildren will be enslaved, they have endured a hundred years of dark turmoil, and they desperately need peace!

But peace...... It's never something you begged for!

They clearly understand that peace is fought!

They need to use guns, swords, and clubs in their own hands...... To fight the invaders, to kill the invaders, to kill the invaders with fear, so that they dare not invade, so that everyone does not dare to underestimate, they can get peace as they wish!

They also know that on this way, many people will die, and countless people with lofty ideals will die on the way to fight, but they still move forward!

Because they know that there are thousands of people with lofty ideals behind them!

So they would rather use their own death to pave the way for those behind them, so that they can step on their corpses and be able to move forward, forward, and all the way forward more smoothly......

These, Okamura Ninji doesn't understand at all!

Perhaps, he will never figure this out!

In this way, Okamura Ninji's doubts naturally could not be answered, so he could only continue to think about it.

However, Okamura Ninji is not an ordinary person, he knows that he can't figure it out, so he simply doesn't think about it anymore.

Now, the most important thing he should think about is what to do next!

The Central China Front only has the last 50,000 troops left, whether to go or stay, where should they go, where their future path is, and where is the future of their empire, this is the question that Okamura Ninji needs to think about.

However, to Okamura's regret, he couldn't come up with a solution to these questions!

"Alas......" Okamura Ninji stood up, he looked around the headquarters, and found that the officers around him had worried looks in their eyes, as well as some hidden ...... Fear!

He couldn't help but shudder!
