Boom" "Boom" "Boom"

Itagaki looked gloomily at the plane that dropped a series of bombs, and flew away with a dexterous swing of wings, and dozens of planes in the sky were fiercely strangled together.

"Eight squares." Banzai scolded fiercely in his heart, he didn't know who to scold, the Imperial Intelligence Department or the Military Department, or Terauchi Shouichi. As the main promoter of the expansion of the Sino-Japanese war, Ban did not expect that the Chinese side had not shown signs of exhaustion until now.

The three-month end of the war before the war had been turned out to be a joke, the Chinese had lost their capitals and retreated inland to continue fighting, while the Japanese were beginning to be a little overwhelmed.

In this battle of opening up the Jinpu Road, the empire concentrated more powerful forces than Songhu and Nanjing, but the progress of the war was even more difficult than that of Songhu. Some time ago, the offensive was like a bamboo, and it quickly occupied a large area of land, but it was clear to himself that the team did not put up serious resistance, and the emperor ** team soared thousands of miles, but did not annihilate many teams.

It was only after entering the mountains that the resistance of the team began to gradually increase, and this resistance reached ** under Lincheng, and now he had to retreat from Lincheng in embarrassment.

"Ordered Nakajima to speed up the retreat, and sent a telegram to General Teranachi, asking the air force to strengthen cover, and reminding him that it is very undesirable for the Isoya Division to attack Xuzhou alone." Itagaki knew very well how much of a loss the retreating troops would suffer after losing air cover. And once he retreats, Isoya Ryosuke will inevitably become a lone army, and if he still insists on attacking Xuzhou, the Chinese will never let him go.

After the board gave the order, he looked at Baishabu and his eyes were full of worry. There, the two brigades commanded by Akihara were besieged by nearly ten times the number of troops, and suffered heavy losses, and if it had not been for the timely arrival of Miura's troops, Baishabu would have been taken by the team.

Although Miura led his troops to Baisha, Miura's troops were extremely tired after several battles, and the soldiers were only barely holding Baisha Port under the inspiration of the spirit of dedication to the empire, and if Nakajima could not withdraw from Baisha in time, the entire division would be surrounded west of Baisha by the 59th Army and the new 22nd Division.

The great changes under the city shocked Nei Shouyi, and the Dexian Command became as silent as death in an instant, and the face of Terauchi Shou was red, and the green tendons on his forehead trembled.

"Gentlemen. Now is the time for national prestige. The glory of the imperial army depends on the immediate action of the monarchs. Contribute to saving the war. Terauchi Shou's words woke up the somewhat sluggish officers.

But at this time, no one dared to say much, and Naosaburo Okabe thought about it. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The Nakajima plan is probably the best response, and the Nakajima plan has been publicly rejected. I'll bring it up now...... The chief of staff put his face there.

"Looks like you don't know exactly what to do." Shouichi Terauchi waited for a while and no one answered. He sneered and said, "Someone." Ordered Nakajima Nakasa to come to the headquarters immediately. ”

A layer of shame appeared on the faces of the staff officers such as Naosaburo Okabe. The Terauchi Shouichi order has made sure that he is disappointed with them. He also said that everyone, including the temple, in the mainland, judged the development of the war situation wrongly. And take a small place in the development of the battle situation met surprisingly correct.

Nakajima quickly came to the war room. Shouichi Terauchi looked at him and nodded slightly: "Young man." The battle situation is exactly as you expected. General Itagaki has now retreated from Lin. The Chinese army was pursuing him. To be precise. The imperial army was thwarted under the city. Now that you can accurately foresee the development of the war. So you talk about it. What will the Chinese army do next? ”

I heard that the situation of the battle was exactly as I expected. Nakajima didn't show a smile on his face. Instead, a layer of worry appeared on his face. He looked at the map. Then calmly said, "Your Excellency." Humble advice. General Isoya immediately stopped attacking Teng County. Evacuate to Yanzhou. No. Probably Taean is better. Relying on Mount Tai to block the pursuit of the Chinese army. General Itagaki immediately retreated to: Prefecture. To defend the Jiaodong Peninsula in the arch. Other than that. The 14th and 21st Divisions were ordered to immediately reinforce Jinan. It would be better to ask the military department for another order. Two additional divisions were transferred from Manchuria or China to the Jinpu Road battlefield. ”

Nakajima's words shocked the senior officers present again, and as soon as his words fell, Okabe Naosaburo couldn't help but say: "I don't have a problem with reinforcements, but I actually need to increase troops from the country, this is too cautious, Nakajima Nakasa." ”

"By no means cautious, Your Excellency," Nakajima Okabe Naosaburo bowed slightly, and replied respectfully: "To break up the counterattack of the Shina Army, the 14th Division and the 21st Division are enough, but they can completely defeat the Shina Army on the Jinpu Road, I think it is necessary to increase the number of divisions, and the two divisions can only be tied with the Shina Army." ”

Terauchi Shouichi looked at Nakajima very fondly, if he said that he only mobilized the 14th Division and the 21st Division, he could give an order immediately, but he had to transfer troops from the country, which made him very reluctant, and the transfer of troops from the country meant him

The front army is no longer able to complete the task of opening the Jinpu line, and needs to be removed from the country

Terauchi paced slightly in the room, at this moment, except for Okabe Naosaburo, no one else dared to speak, when they besieged Nakajima, it was equivalent to handing over today's right to speak, including the head of the combat section, Jinggu, he opened his mouth, but in the end he still didn't speak.

"Commander, it will take at least half a month to transfer troops from the country, and I'm afraid it's too late." Okabe Naosaburo knew the temple's thoughts very well: "And the 14th Division is confronting the First Theater of Operations, once they are transferred, what will they do to guard against the Army of the First Theater." ”

"The Chinese army in the first theater of operations will not make any moves." Without waiting for Terauchi Shou to speak, Nakajima replied directly: "The remaining troops in the first theater that have some combat effectiveness are the 29th Army, and most of his units with combat effectiveness have been transferred to the 5th theater, including the 59th Army of the original 29th Army, and his commander Cheng Qian is an old soldier and will not take the initiative to provoke the imperial army, I am confident in this." ”

"But it's just your judgment." Naosaburo Okabe shook his head and tactfully objected rather than reprimanded, which was also the best recognition of Nakajima's extraordinary foresight.

"War is meant to be, and I'm 70% sure." Nakajima's expression was very flat, and then he turned to Terauchi Shouichi and said, "Your Excellency, the most important thing now is to let General Ryosuke Isoya retreat from Teng County, and he can't continue to do it again. ”

Terauchi Shou nodded and said to Jinggu: "Telegraph to Lieutenant General Ryosuke Isoya that General Itagaki is on the verge of defeat, and the 10th Division should not go deep alone, immediately stop attacking Lin, and immediately retreat to Yanzhou." ”

He hesitated for a moment, looked at Okabe Naosaburo, and then squinted at the map, and then said slowly: "The telegram ordered the 14th Division and the 21st Division to be transported to Jinan immediately." After pondering for a moment, he added: "Order the Shanxia Brigade to also be transferred to Jinan." ”

The Yamashita Brigade is a mixed brigade with two wings under its jurisdiction, totaling more than 10,000 people. However, there are still great variables in this order in the temple, and the 14th Division can say that this division is gathering on the Tangyin Neihuang Line in Henan Province to attract troops from the First Theater of Operations, and the troops are basically neat. However, the 21 st Division was scattered in the vast area from Zhangjiakou to Rehe, and it would take three or four days to assemble, and then it would be transported south to Beiping, with more than 20,000 men in the whole division, plus weapons and equipment, and it would take at least another 10 days to transport them to Jinan, and it would take at least half a month for them to arrive at the battlefield.

"Young man, to defeat the current China, it is necessary to increase the army, it is not necessary to increase the army of 100,000, 50,000 is enough." Terauchi looked at Nakajima with gentle eyes, but the latter was expressionless, his eyes were cold, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Report, General Isoya Lian telegraphed," a staff officer hurriedly came in and reported: "He has captured Teng County, the Chinese army has retreated to Xuzhou, and General Isoya has asked for permission to continue his attack on Xuzhou." ”

"Absolutely not, Your Excellency," Nakajima shouted to Shouichi Terauchi, "General Isoya is a lone army going deep, and the city of Xuzhou is a trap." ”

Terauchi did not hesitate to support Nakajima this time: "Telegram ordered Lieutenant General Isoya to immediately withdraw his troops from Tengxian and retreat to Yanzhou, telling him that this is an order and must be carried out." ”

"Report, General Linban called, the 5,000 rearguard troops led by General Nakajima were surrounded by tens of thousands of Na troops in Mahezhuang and Playhualou west of Baisha, and General Itagaki asked for tactical guidance."

This news sounded like a thunderbolt in the war room, Nakajima Imago was surrounded and could not escape, and since Ban asked for help, it meant that he was no longer able to relieve him.

The temple's expression changed drastically, and he looked at the map, his heart full of bitterness. In order to open up the Jinpu Road as soon as possible, the emperor's ** team rushed all the way, and many places that should be captured did not free up troops to occupy, and the Jiaoji Line and Jinpu Line only occupied the places along the railway, and the areas that were slightly farther away from the railway line were not occupied. Now the consequences of the furious advance have appeared, the rear is extremely empty, the guerrillas formed by the Chinese are unprecedentedly active in the rear, the vast Jiaodong, the Japanese army only occupied along the Jiaoji railway, the villages and county towns on both sides were not occupied, these places were either occupied by the Kuomintang or by the newly emerged **, they formed guerrilla groups in these places and frequently attacked the railway line.

The temple was extremely angry, he didn't expect that in just a few days, the situation in the battle would deteriorate to this point, and Ita Seishiro was really in vain. "Smack!" The teacup was thrown into the corner of the house by the temple and broken into crisps.

"Your Excellency, there is a way to save the tide of the war." Okabe Naosaburo interjected and said, at this moment he couldn't care much more, and repeated Nakajima's previous suggestion: "Immediately order General Isoya to lead the 10th Division and the 109th Division to the east, join the battlefield, relieve the siege of Nakajima, and defeat the main force of the Shina Army."
