The headquarters of the Japanese Kwantung Army, the residence of the commander.

Umezu Mijiro was reading a book in his residence, and he usually considered himself a Chinese expert, so when he had nothing to do, he would read some ancient books, such as Sun Tzu's Art of War and the like.

This person also often attaches himself to elegance, makes some antique cultural toys and puts them in his residence, and wipes them down from time to time.

Seeing that Umezu Mijiro, the commander of the Kwantung Army Headquarters, likes antiques, his subordinates naturally tried their best to get them for him, and in order to get antiques, I don't know how many rich families were ruined.

Of course, these are not what Umezu Mijiro has to consider, not to mention that as a commander, he naturally does not care about these things.

At this moment, he was wiping some treasures and antiques he had obtained in his residence, and at the same time he was observing and appreciating them, but at this time, he suddenly heard a voice outside: "Your Excellency Commander, there is a battle situation in Changsha!" ”

Hearing this, Umezu Mijiro couldn't help frowning, and there was some displeasure in his heart.

He usually took care of it, when he was appreciating antiques, he was most taboo to be disturbed, and now that he was appreciating antiques, there were still people to disturb, and his heart was suddenly a little unhappy.

But when he thought about it, this was the battle situation from Changsha, and his face softened a little.

In Changsha, because Okamura Ninji used Matsuura Junrokuro to kill chickens and monkeys before, this move was quite popular with him, and Umezu Mijiro was also quite concerned.

What's more, he was also a little concerned about the situation in Changsha, knowing that this battle was a battle tested and carried out by the base camp in order to try a new strategy, and the stakes were very high, so he also took special care of it, and once there was any new progress, he would report it.

And now that the people below have come to report, I think there should be some big changes or big progress.

Thinking of this, Umezu Mijiro's brows stretched a little, and he said in a deep voice: "Come in!" ”

As he spoke, he carefully put the antique in his hand back on the Bogu shelf and took off his white gloves.

"Crunch ......"

As the voice sounded, the door was opened, and a Japanese officer walked in, first saluted Umezu Mijiro, then handed over the document in his hand, and said loudly: "Your Excellency Commander, this is a battle report from Changsha!" ”

Umezu Mijiro took it and asked casually, "What is the big progress in Changsha?" How was Okamura's plan? ”

He knew that Okamura Ninji's life had not been easy recently.

Originally, Okamura Ninji planned to entangle with the Chinese army, but the base camp was afraid of excessive material consumption, and in addition to the Battle of Changsha until now, there was little progress, and the base camp was very dissatisfied with it.

In just half a month, five times in a row, Okamura had no choice but to change the previous strategy and hastily carry out a decisive battle.

Thinking of this, Umezu Mijiro couldn't help but sigh.

Okamura Ninji originally made such a strategy after the entire 106th Division was shattered, which can be described as excellent, and it can be regarded as one of the best strategies, but the base camp was eager for quick success and quick success, and the rush for success made Okamura's plan bankrupt.

Now it is very difficult to rush into a decisive battle and want to win.

I am even afraid that I will lose in this battle.

Thinking of this, how can you not make Umezu Mijiro feel deeply emotional?

Okamura Ninji is a person with talent, and he admires him very much, but although the other party is the commander of the Central China Front, he still can't help himself, not to mention him, even if he is himself, as the commander of the Kwantung Army Headquarters, he had nearly one million soldiers at his peak, but he really controlled his own fate and ideas?

It's just a bigger piece.

Thinking about this was also a futile annoyance, but Umezu Mijiro just went through it in his mind, dispelled the thought, and immediately focused on the recent situation.

At first, Umezu Mijiro just looked at it casually, but as he flipped through it, his face was less casual and more solemn.

I don't know how long it took for Umezu Mijiro to read all the documents, and after closing them, Umezu Mijiro's face showed a look of surprise, and even some surprise.

"I thought that Okamura Ninji would definitely lose this time, but who would have thought that there would be a disagreement on the side of the Shina Army, if Okamura Ninji can take advantage of this opportunity, maybe there will be a chance to turn the tide of the war!" Umezu Mijiro muttered.

In this battle report, it is said that the troops of the China Army are hesitant, and it seems that something is going on inside. After their investigation, they found that there was a disagreement between the commander-in-chief who commanded the battle of Changsha and someone from Chiang, which caused the troops to hesitate now.

After seeing this, Umezu Mijiro immediately sensed that this was an opportunity!

This is Ninji Okamura's biggest and last chance!

If he can grasp it, he may be able to get out of the way, and if he has ambitions, maybe he can also take this opportunity to turn defeat into victory.

Of course, all of this depends on how Okamura Ninji decides!

And if you want to accomplish this, the most important thing is whether the commander of the other party can make up his mind before Okamura Ninji reacts, if he can make up his mind, Okamura naturally has no chance, but if he continues to hesitate, this is Okamura's chance!

Thinking of this, Umezu Mijiro hurriedly said: "Quick, convey my order, immediately send a telegram to Okamura, and ask him what his plan is!" ”

Hearing this, the officer who sent the battle situation did not immediately receive the order, but said meaningfully: "Your Excellency, commander, but what is the calculation? ”

"It's not a calculation yet, it's just that the time has not come!" Umezu Mijiro shook his head and said: "It all depends on Okamura Ningji, if he can seize the opportunity, then I will naturally not hesitate to help him, but if he can't catch it, I can't do anything even if I have the heart, after all, Changsha is too far away from me, and the whip can't reach it......"

Hearing this, the officer nodded thoughtfully, and then said, "My subordinates understand!" Then go and give the order! ”

After speaking, he saw that Umezu Mijiro had no other instructions, so he saluted respectfully, and then turned to leave.

Watching the officer leave, Umezu Mijiro was sitting alone in the room, with an inexplicable look on his face, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

At this time, the sky suddenly became gloomy, and a thunderbolt fell in a trance, and the sky and the earth flashed in an instant, but it reflected the uncertain face of Umezu Mijiro......
