Of course, the operation of the Mang-like Great Self-Model must be reported to the Dispatch Army Command. .qb5, COm\ What's more, Ah Dou also hopes to send the army headquarters to strengthen the logistics supply of the 11th Army. However, he did not expect that his battle plan would cause a huge stir in the General Staff, and the staff officers in the General Staff Department were divided into two factions: the young officers headed by Nagasa, chief of the Operations Division, and Koichi Morimura, chief of the Intelligence Division, were enthusiastically pursued, while the chief of staff, Isamu Kinoshita, and Sakai, the deputy chief of staff, were resolutely opposed. In order to convince the opposition officers in the headquarters, Anan decided to conduct a war game.

After Anan's operational plan was reported to Nanjing, the commander Nishio Shouzo and the chief of staff, Seishiro Itagaki were shocked and relatively speechless, defeating General Shina and defeating the 49th Army as a whole. The dream of sending generals to China, but Nishio Shouzo and Itagaki Seishiro are both Japanese generals who have fought against Zhuang Jihua twice, and they are well aware of Zhuang Jihua's interests.

After receiving Zhuang Jihua's appointment as the Fifth War Zone, Nishio Shouzo and Itagaki Seishiro always paid attention to the Fifth War Zone, Anan Weiji received the information, Nishio Shouzo and Itakami Seishiro also received a copy, Zhuang Jihua's series of actions in the Fifth War Zone They all knew that the Chinese side had a large increase in troops to the Fifth War Zone, Nishio Shouzo and Itagaki Seishiro were very worried, they were considering whether to increase troops to the Eleventh Army, but at this time, they received Anan Yuji's battle plan.

Nishio Shouzo and Itagaki Seishiro were afraid that they wanted to defeat Zhuang Jihua more than Anan Yuji, but the two did not dare to act rashly, and they convened the staff officers in charge of operations in the first section of the headquarters and the officers in charge of logistics in the third division to discuss and judge Anan Yuji's combat plan.

At this meeting, the staff officers behaved just like them, suffering from gains and losses, and the head of the third section, who was in charge of logistics, was resolutely opposed.

"Commander, the shortage of supplies for the dispatched troops has not eased in the slightest, and after the start of the southward expansion operation, the distribution procedure for supplies in the base camp is the navy, the southern army, the Kwantung army, and then us. After the start of the public security operation in North China, more than half of our supplies were sent to Wangcunjun, and the army in Shanghai only received 50,000 rounds of ammunition and 1,000 shells in half a year. In order to provide General Anan with materials for this operation, it is necessary to reduce the supply of materials to General Wangcun. Kawashima had a sense of anger in his heart when he talked about material supplies, and he repeatedly asked the base camp to improve the current material situation of the Chinese dispatch army, but the base camp was unmoved.

"Materials are not a problem" Amano Daisa, head of the first section, said solemnly that Amano Daisa, who had served in the base camp and the Kwantung Army, participated in the Taiyuan operation and the war against the Soviet Union, and was only transferred to the Chinese Dispatch Army Headquarters last year: "The crux of the problem is the shortage of troops, two of the 49th Group Army. The division had blocked three imperial divisions at Fujin Mountain, but Anan Jun wanted to use five divisions to defeat the 49th Army and the 60th Army, but I thought this would not be possible, even if this operation was to be carried out. At least two more divisions were to be added. The total strength of the offensive will be brought to 100,000, in addition to the deployment of at least two air squadrons. ”

After Amano's conditions were proposed, the staff officers from Nishio Shouzo to the following all showed a wry smile, and it was okay to transfer two divisions and regiments, and send the 17th division and regiment directly under the army, and also transfer troops from the army and the second army, but what about the air force? Nominally, the air force assigned to China's dispatch army has the establishment of one division and regiment, the fifth flying division, but in fact, this division does not have a few planes, according to the establishment, this flying division has one flying regiment and six flying teams, and over the past year or so, these flying teams have been transferred to the South Seas to join the southern operations, and correspondingly, the strength of the Chinese air force has grown rapidly and has seized control of China's sky.

"Increasing the number of troops is inevitable" Deputy Chief of Staff Jun Gogong has a supportive attitude, Harem Jun was the director of the Personnel Bureau of the Ministry of the Army, and was later transferred to the commander of the Fourth Army of the Kwantung Army to participate in the war against the Soviet Union, but Nishio Shouzo and Itagaki Seishiro value his other identity more, he is Prime Minister Tojo Hideki's confidant, and it is also an important reason why he can serve as the deputy chief of staff of the Dispatch Army.

"You can also fight without an air force" Harem Chun looked around with a resolute expression: "Gentlemen, I don't know if you have noticed, General Anan has a very important saying, defeating General China and defeating the 49th Group Army can deal a heavy blow to the will of the people of China to resist." The Shina Incident consumed a large number of troops and materials of the Empire, and only by striking a heavy blow to the will of the Shina people to resist could they force the Shina to accept our demands, and there was hope for peace work. ”

Harem Jun said this and glanced at Seishiro Itagaki, and Seishiro Itagaki showed a thoughtful look.

The current Itagaki does not have the pride of the Lugou Bridge Incident. After he became chief of staff of the Chinese Dispatch Army, he carried out Tong work, hoping to negotiate directly with Chiang Kai-shek, and even proposed that he could personally go to Chongqing or Changsha to conduct direct negotiations with Chiang Kai-shek. However, this proposal did not receive a response from Chongqing. Itagaki was a little dilemma, indeed, defeating General Shina could deal a heavy blow to the people's will to resist, but the risk of many battles was so great that the defeat turned into a stalemate, forming a confrontation, and the consequences were unimaginable, and the Ninth and Third Theaters would never let this go. Opportunity.

"What's more, after General China arrived in the Fifth Theater, the Government of China has greatly increased the number of troops in the Fifth Theater, and the Fifth Army, the first mechanized group army in China, has been transferred to the Fifth Theater, and in addition, General China is still forming a new army and four young army divisions. General Shina rectifies the interior, once he is asked to straighten out the troops, with the temperament of General China, he will not do nothing, it is better to take advantage of the fact that he has not sorted out the interior, strike first, strike first at the Fifth War Zone, weaken the Fifth War Zone This tirade Hou Gong Chun sighed softly and took half a step back.

Harem Jun's words moved Nishio Shouzo, indeed, once General Shina straightened out the interior, the Eleventh Army was bound to become his target, and hundreds of thousands of troops in the Fifth Theater pressed over, and the Pinghan Line would be difficult to protect in the first place.

"We can't let him reorganize the troops so smoothly." Nishio Shouzo made a secret decision in his heart, but he still thought that Anan Yuki's battle plan was too risky and too simple.

"Gentlemen, General Anan's battle plan is only aimed at the 49th Group Army, which is not enough." Nishio Shouzao said slowly: "There should be an ambition to seize Yichang and point the sword at Chongqing." ”

Everyone's eyes immediately focused on Nishio Shouzo, who continued: "You know that the empire's strategy against China is to force peace with war, so that China can accept our peace conditions, jointly resist the aggression of the United States and Britain, and achieve common prosperity in East Asia. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to strike a further blow at China, and the capture of Yichang will achieve this goal. That's why I don't approve General Anan's operational plan, "Let him redraw an operational plan, calculate clearly, how many troops and materials are needed, and dispatch the army headquarters to meet his requirements as much as possible."

Speaking of this, he raised his eyes to look at the officers around him, and then said to Amano: "Amano, you go to Wuhan, tell General Anan what I mean, and ask him to redraw a battle plan." ”

"General Itagaki, you also drew up a battle plan, it's hard work."

"Hello." Itagaki bowed his head and took An's order.

Amano's plane landed at Hankou Airport. Getting off the plane, Amano let out a long sigh, flying in the skies of China is a very dangerous trip now, but fortunately he was lucky today. Except for a bumpy passage over Jiujiang for a while, there was no other danger.

Amano had been to Wuhan shortly after the Japanese army had occupied Wuhan, and the streets of Wuhan were sparsely populated, with the majority of ronins in kimonos and closed shop doors.

After three years, there are many Chinese on the streets, and shops are back in business.

Amano nodded, the order in the occupied area seemed to be good, and he opened his mouth to ask the lieutenant who came to pick him up, "Is General Anan busy now?"

The lieutenant replied that he was a staff officer in the combat section, and if he hadn't come to pick up Amano today, he would have participated in the war games in the war room.

Amano hummed softly and stopped talking. The sedan entered the headquarters of the 11th Army, and the festive decorations in the headquarters had been swept away, and there was a hint of tension in the air.

"The commander ordered, let me take you directly to the war room After the lieutenant got off the car, he said to Amano, Amano nodded lightly, the lieutenant led the way in front, the war room was on the first floor of the building, it turned out to be a large laboratory of Wuhan University, with various experimental instruments, and now these instruments have long been transported to Sichuan by teachers and students, and now there is a huge sand table in the middle of the room, and there are two rows of officers sitting neatly on both sides of the sand table.

"Amano-kun, please come in." Anan saw Amano behind the lieutenant at a glance, and then turned to Kinoshita, who was on the other side, and said, "Kinoshita-kun, please continue." ”

104 Division. Yuya Kinoshita spoke.

"Kinoshita-kun, I'm sorry, interrupt" Amano hurriedly spoke, Anan Wei frowned slightly, and sent a call from the military headquarters, saying that Amano had a new order, although he didn't know what this order was, but it should be related to this operation, and it was likely to veto this operation, but no matter what, you should take a look at the deduction of this operation and listen to the opinion of the headquarters.

"General Anan, General Kinoshita, the headquarters of the dispatch army has a new idea, and this deduction is no longer necessary Amano said to Anan Yuji.

"Oh" Anan raised his eyebrows slightly, he heard something from Amano's tone, Amano took out a document from the file bag and handed it to Anan, Anan looked at it twice, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

Closing the document, he looked up and said to the officers in the room, "The deduction is over, Kinoshita-kun, please come with me."

The new month has begun, and the New Year has arrived, so I wish you all a Happy New Year! Good luck!
