A dense fog rose on the sea, and a fleet of more than a dozen warships loomed in it, and the faces of the other party could not even be seen clearly two steps away from the deck, and a diminutive officer stood on the inside of the bridge fence, raising his eyes to look into the depths of the fog, his brows tightly knitted into a Sichuan character.

"Your Excellency, I am afraid that the dense fog will not disperse before tomorrow, and the planned attack plan may be delayed."

The Sichuan character between Okamura Ninji's eyebrows disappeared abruptly, and the muscles on his tense face trembled, pulling his face and pulling out a smile that was not much better than crying.

"At this time, there is a thick fog, I don't know if it's not a good thing, and the people of China will also think that we won't attack in this weather."

For this sudden dense fog, at the beginning, Okamura Ningji was very annoyed, if he could not find any reason, the Imperial 6th Army could not defeat that Shina general, but just now in a blink of an eye, he suddenly realized that his side was so worried about the dense fog, and more of his colleagues and subordinates also hoped that the battle plan of the Deng6 attack could be delayed, and that branch of the army would probably relax their vigilance even more, not to mention that they didn't know that the Terauchi General had actually unified a revenge army of tens of thousands of people, Only stay in the hinterland of Shandong after the 6th, raid its old nest Jinan, when the time comes, the north and south will attack, the most powerful line of defense in China will collapse.

Kuribayashi Tadamichi is so smart, just a little bit to figure out this joint, can't help but applaud for the intelligence of Lieutenant General Gangmura, at the beginning of the battle, he still faintly disdainful of this defeated general in his heart, but a good education and relatively gentle personality cover up his negative feelings, this time he and Okamura Ningji are the same first echelon, along the way to communicate, only to appear this disabled lieutenant general of the 6th Army, by no means like the domestic rumor is a straw bag fool.

Okamura Ninji still decided to carry out the Nobo-6 battle plan on time in the dense fog, which was a great risk, because the fleet itself was very dangerous to move in the dense fog, and the warships that had lost their vision could only move forward like blind men according to the calculated numbers, while the reefs and shoals that could not be distinguished by the naked eye could only fend for themselves.

But in Gangmura Ningji's view, the risks and benefits are directly proportional, as long as his troops succeed in landing 6, at such a time when anyone thinks that the Japanese army will never be able to fight, and succeed in giving the Shina people a head-on blow, presumably the Shina people will be in chaos.

……

In Ye County, Shandong, Zhang Zhonglin has not closed his eyes for three days and three nights, and the telegrams from the headquarters about the military situation along the coast are flying one after another like snowflakes, he does not understand why the headquarters knows more about the military situation than these front-line troops, but he still carries out the deployment tasks of the headquarters to the letter, from the very beginning he is very disgusted by the headquarters' behavior of restraining the front-line generals, but after several sudden situations are confirmed, the military information taken by the headquarters is surprisingly accurate.

Although the people of the time knew the importance of intelligence, their contempt for it did not change for a minute, and the generals of this era paid more attention to the sharpness of tactics and the coverage of fierce firepower, and this kind of thinking or tradition in the Central Army had been deeply rooted in the hearts of every middle and senior officer.

However, since joining the 57th Mission, his previous concepts have been subverted little by little, and it was not until he led the 1st Brigade Independent Brigade that he realized how terrible it would be for the enemy to have accurate and timely intelligence work.

Three days after arriving in Ye County, the fishing boat that braved the heavy fog to go out to sea finally brought back the news that a large fleet had appeared on the sea, and it was believed that it would arrive in Ye County around the evening.

Thinking that he would be able to beat the Japanese army immediately, Zhang Zhonglin's heart was filled with excitement.

"Brigade, the fog is so big, it's going to be dark soon, the Japanese devils shouldn't be able to board 6 in such bad weather conditions......"

Zhang Zhonglin leaned over and glanced at the young staff officer who was expressing his opinion, and let out a muffled snort from his nose.

"Shouichi Terauchi wants you to think so, and Okamura Ninji wants you to think so."

The staff officer felt the sarcasm in Zhang Zhonglin's tone, and seemed to be unconcerned, but continued to express his views-for-tat.

"Not necessarily, under the premise that the weather and time are unfavorable to the enemy, and our army has made full preparations, if the Japanese army moves strongly to attack, I am afraid that they will suffer greater losses."

This view was supported by a section of young staff officers, and likewise, a section of young staff officers voiced opposition.

"This judgment is based on the success of tactics, but from a strategic point of view, the Japanese army will not hesitate to take Ye County, which will play a crucial role in their war situation in the whole of North China......"

"There is also a possibility that the Japanese army may also change the location of the 6th place due to the dense fog......"

The atmosphere in the brigade headquarters was ignited in this kind of-for-tat confrontation and the smell of gunpowder was very strong, Zhang Zhonglin snorted, and a wry smile appeared on his face, these young staff officers are really all thorns, and the high-achieving students from the 6th Army University in Suidong really have no natural fear of authority and status, and they are really a little uncomfortable with this change in a short period of time.

He saw that he couldn't get any results after arguing, so he had to press his hands and signal everyone to be quiet.

"The Japanese army has taken a Deng6 stronghold in the hinterland of Shandong, which will pose a direct threat to Jinan, strategically they are indeed determined to win, and Yexian happens to be the best place to meet the above conditions, as soldiers, we have a heavy burden on our shoulders, and we cannot have the slightest slack and carelessness, and it is very necessary to maintain first-level combat readiness tonight......

Eventually, the Independent Brigade unanimously decided to maintain a level of combat readiness, ready to meet the attack, and to have sufficient firepower to annihilate the invading enemy on the beachhead.

In Zhang Zhonglin's view, it is really ridiculous that these staff officers are not in order, and the little house sparrow that has just taken off is not hard to perform difficult movements, but the Shandong army is now deliberately emphasizing this atmosphere of free expression of views, and the headquarters has also issued a special order that the military commanders of all units have the responsibility and obligation to supervise and guide the trend of this atmosphere.

It is precisely because of this guarantee that Zhang Zhonglin, who has always been arbitrary in his command style, allowed all kinds of doubts about the reliability and unreliability of the brigade headquarters' orders.

In fact, in his opinion, at such a time, it is extremely stupid to still discuss whether it is necessary to lower the level of night combat readiness, and China suffers from the fact that it has no navy and can only defend passively, and if it has a navy, where do they still need to worry about when and where the enemy should board the 6, and they can already resist the enemy on the sea.
