The duo suddenly realized. //。 They all looked at Anan with admiration, and it was impossible to test this flaw that was not originally a flaw in the short foot state, and it was impossible to have a superhuman understanding of the China Army and the China faction."

"Gentlemen, go back and continue to enjoy the song and dance, General Shina is still training his troops, and he has not yet disrupted our ability to listen to songs and dance." Anan's relaxed and mocking tone made everyone laugh.

Everyone waited for a while, and seeing that Anan didn't move, Kinoshita Yong took the lead and prepared to go out, but then they heard Anan say: "Chief of Staff Kinoshita stays, and the others go." ”

The officers went out after saluting Anan, and Kinoshita stood there quietly waiting for Anan to speak, Anan took his hands out of his trouser pockets and propped them on the edge of the sand table before he spoke:

"Kinoshita-kun, I'm going to launch a surprise attack on the Five War Zones, what do you mean?"

Kinoshita Yong sighed softly, with his understanding of Anan, Anan would never let go of such an opportunity, his commander was deeply loved by the emperor, even if there was a failure in the Changsha battle, it was not affected, this was replaced by Okamura Ningji, I am afraid that he would have been removed or transferred, but it was precisely because of this favor that he was extremely high-spirited and proud, and it was difficult to listen to the opinions of his subordinates.

"Your Excellency, you know that after the last battle, the material losses have only been replenished by 20%, and the losses of soldiers have only been replenished by one-third, and we do not have the materials for the next operation now." Isamu Kinoshita reminded tactfully.

"I know" Anan was a little angry and a little irritated: "Those bastards in the headquarters should all go to court-martial, two months have passed, and at this rate, we will not have a chance to attack this year." It only takes half a year for General Kochina to straighten out the interior, and we don't have a chance. Kinoshita-kun, the fighter plane is fleeting, we can only fight under the existing conditions, the samurai of the Great Japanese Empire, can fight with will, and the spirit of bushido can defeat all enemies. ”

"But" Kinoshita Yong suddenly realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly changed his tone: "Your Excellency, we must have at least half of the material replenishment, and in addition, relying only on the three divisions in northern Hubei Province, the strength is not superior, and the equipment of the 49th Group Army is no worse than that of the Imperial Army." ”

"This is not the main thing, since the Shina Incident, the Imperial Army has always been outnumbered, how many people are in China, how many people are in the empire, we can only use bushido to deal with the numerical superiority of China, we have always won victories, and will win in the future." Anan's eyes were resolute, and his words were decisive: "Kinoshita-kun, the real reason is not these, but the fear of General Shina, for five years. General Shina defeated almost all the famous generals of the empire, humiliating the imperial army, since he became the commander of the five theaters, you look at the officers in the headquarters, as if facing the enemy, trembling, he has not made any moves, Uchiyama, Sukita asked for reinforcements, what is this, this is cowardice, is cowardice! ”

Anan said more harshly. His fear of General Shina, which pervaded the headquarters, exploded, and Isamu Kinoshita was a little ashamed. After Anan vented for a while, he walked up to him and said solemnly: "I can't tolerate the continuation of this situation, I must restore morale, and the best way to revive morale is to defeat General Shina on the battlefield, Kinoshita-kun, do you have this confidence?" "Hello! Please give the commander the order, the Imperial Army will definitely defeat the General of China! Kinoshita replied loudly.

"Okay, you draw up a battle plan, the Fifth Theater of Sudden Poison, the combat target of the 49th Group Army" Anan nodded with satisfaction: "In addition, urge Nanjing, we must deliver the materials we need within a month, otherwise I will go to Tokyo to complain." ”

"Hello!"

The joy of the founding day lasted for three days, but Isamu Kinoshita disappeared from view, leaving the daily affairs to Deputy Chief of Staff Sakai and locking himself in his room to meditate on the map.

Although he was cheered up by Anan, Kinoshita Yong did not dare to underestimate the 49th Group Army, Fujin Rang. In the defensive battle, two divisions of this group army withstood the fierce attack of the three divisions of the imperial army for more than 10 days, and although the division commander was killed, the imperial army also suffered heavy casualties, which directly affected the course of the battle of Wuhan.

Once the attack on the 49th Group Army is launched, the general of China is bound to come to the aid with all his might, even if the two wings of the army are unwilling, I am afraid that they will not be able to resist the pressure of the general of China, so the key to this battle is to be surprised, once the gain will not be entangled, and immediately retreat.

"Your Excellency, in order to achieve the goal of striking at the strong army of China, I suggest that we draw four divisions, the third, thirteenth, thirty-ninth, and fifty-eighth divisions, to participate in this operation, and use the fifty-eighth division to replace the third division, and concentrate the third, thirteenth, thirty-ninth, and three divisions to carry out a surprise attack on the 49th Group Army."

Anan listened to Isamu Kinoshita's plan with a blank face. He waved his hand unequivocally and said: "This little plan will not work, Kinoshita-kun, you are underestimating General Shina and the 49th Group Army, according to this plan, we will definitely fail." ”

"Please make it clear to the Commander." Kinoshita Yong bowed his head and saluted, but he was a little unconvinced in his heart, this is already the largest force that can be mobilized, and there are only more than 2,000 emperors left in the three towns of Wuhan

"The 3rd Division can't move, and General Shina will be alert as soon as he moves, but he can send the 5th Brigade to participate in the battle, order the 40th Division to take over the 6th Division's defense area, and the 6th Division to retreat to Wuhan, order the 68th Division and the 34th Division to change defenses, and transfer the 6th Wing and the 7th Wing, under the command of Major General Keno Yamamoto, the infantry commander, to secretly assemble in Hanchuan. Ordered Uchiyama and Sumida to shrink the defense area and abandon an unnecessary stronghold. Anan sat coldly on the corner of his mouth

Kinoshita's heart was a little cold, Anan hadn't said his battle plan yet, just because of the gathering of troops, he saw danger. On the northern front, after the transfer of the Fifth Brigade, the entire northern front was left with the Flying Brigade from the south of Xinyang, and the confrontation was the Second Group Army, the 36th Group Army, and the 33rd Group Army; On the southern front, the 40th Division, a three-company division, with a total strength of more than 10,000 people, confronted the 560,000 troops of the entire army of the Ninth Theater; Similarly, the 68th Division in Nanchang faced nearly 200,000 troops from the 23rd Group Army and the 32nd Group Army.

This was a complete desperate gamble, Kinoshita Yong was stunned in his heart, but he kept Anan's words in mind, but his expression did not show it at all, he frowned slightly: "Commander, if General Shina launches a counterattack on the northern front, the Pinghan line is likely to be cut off." ”

Isamu Kinoshita was clever not to mention the Ninth and Third War Zones, and he knew that if he mentioned it, Anan would probably tell him that the Shina people did not cooperate in the battle and could defeat each of them.

"No, the generals of China have always been good at preserving their strength, and the same is true of the generals of China, so the generals of China will order the Fifth Army and the 36th Army to move south, and in order to achieve the goal of dividing the China Army, the 28th Brigade must attack first to attract the attention of the 33rd Army and the 36th Army, so as to facilitate the army to eliminate the 49th Army and the 60th Army." Anan's tone was very resolute, but Kinoshita was terrified, and the 28th Brigade, which was weak, was going to attack first, and the danger it faced could be imagined.

"Your Excellency!" Kinoshita Yong couldn't hold back any longer, Anan was stunned for a moment, Kinoshita Yong stabilized his mood, slowed down his tone and said: "Your Excellency, the 28th Brigade is weak, they not only have to hold Xinyang, but also maintain the normal transportation of the Pinghan Line, they can at most draw a wing to attack, such a force is impossible to attract the 36th Group Army and the 33rd Group Army, on the contrary, it is likely that the Zhina Army will see the flaws; Taking a step back, General Zhina will be fooled, if he will plan, encircle and annihilate the 28th Brigade, cut off the Pinghan Line, and cut off our connection with the North China Dispatch Army, Your Excellency. Such a battle is not worth the loss. ”

Anan Wei showed a gloomy face, how could he not know that the strength of the 28th Brigade was weak, but the strength of the 11th Army was so large, and the defense area was so large, and the troops were extremely lacking, so he could only adopt this kind of risky operation and rely on the bravery and sacrifice of the soldiers to achieve the strategic goal.

"Kinoshita-kun" Anan soothed his expression and restrained his anger, after all, Kinoshita's worries were not unreasonable, he thought for a while and said: "Breaking the 49th Army and the 60th Army is much more important than the blow to the heart of the Chinese army than the Pinghan line being cut off. General Shina enjoys a high prestige in the hearts of the people of China, and if he can be defeated, it can deal a heavy blow to the will of the people of China to resist. The Pinghan line was cut off and could be opened again. But the will is destroyed, but it cannot be rebuilt. ”

"Your Excellency, as the chief of staff, I must estimate all kinds of terrifying situations, the 49th Group Army has 100,000 people, the 60th Army has 50,000 people, these two troops have participated in the Nanjing operation, the Xuzhou operation, the Zaoyang operation, and the Wuhan operation, and the combat effectiveness is not weaker than the imperial army in the slightest, if our attack cannot achieve the goal, and the northern front is broken again, curse."

"Kinoshita-kun, don't forget, the deployment of the Shina Army is all under our control, and our attack will definitely be victorious." Anan unceremoniously interrupted him.

"However, such a large-scale troop build-up cannot but arouse the vigilance of the Chinese army, and we are fighting on enemy territory, and we cannot achieve complete secrecy." Kinoshita fought hard, he also had to fight, this operation was too risky, logistics, troops, and the enemy situation were extremely serious, and once it failed, the entire Central China war situation was likely to collapse, once the Ninth Theater of the Chinese Army crossed the Xinqiang River, it could drive straight into it and fight all the way to the city of Wuchang.

"We also have a grasp of the deployment of the forces of the Chinese Army, and as soon as the Fifth Army moves south, I will cancel this operation." Anan is also very resolute, he believes in himself and believes that he can break the myth of the undefeated general of China.

"Your Excellency, I hope you will think about it carefully, and in addition, I will suggest that the battle plan be submitted to the Dispatch Army Command." Kinoshita saw that he couldn't convince Anan, so he just pinned his hopes on the dispatch headquarters, and secretly decided in his heart to discuss it with the staff officers of the staff department after he went out.
