"Woo! Woo! "The fighter pulled the tail smoke, flew over from the battlefield, and dropped a string of bombs on the position of Seishiro Itagaki.

The naughty Chinese plane seemed to have made a naughty mind, and with a flick of its tail, it flew back again, and the bullets from the heavy machine gun "Da~Da~Da" strafed the position, and did not leave satisfiedly until it ran out of bullets.

In the sky, hundreds of fighters of the two countries are still fighting, the fighters hanging on the sun obviously cannot kill the Chinese fighters, and the damned Soviet big dog bear actually assisted 2,000 Chinese air crews, and the conscience is really greatly broken.

"Is the empire going downhill?" Itagaki asked himself inwardly.

This thought was terrifying, and Seishiro Itagaki hurriedly retracted this thought, and he must not fall down at this time.

The more difficult the days, the easier it is to think of the old days, as the twin stars of the empire, Ishihara Waner has said more than once that he should not be led to the end with those brainless warmongers through the country.

I didn't listen, and followed the footsteps of Shouichi Terauchi and came to China. Kenji Dohihara and the group of two goods in the intelligence department have put forward the words of the three Yue to destroy China more than once.

But now that the war has been defeated, the Chinese troops do not even look a little tired, how can this be? Why is China becoming more and more courageous the more it fights?

Now that Japan has become a joke on the international stage, Germany, which is most likely to be Japan's ally, has been talking in public about incompetent Japan fishing only in the fishing grounds of the East China Sea. What made Japan even more unbearable was that the German tanks were transported to China one by one along the Yunnan-Burma Highway and became weapons to destroy the imperial soldiers.

The Chinese have a good grasp of the strategy, they are ready to drag down the empire with their huge bodies, although they have low-key Beiping, lost Shanghai, and lost Nanjing, but they still insist on fighting, and there are even signs that they are getting stronger. The empire, on the other hand, is noticeably less powerful than it used to be.

This North-South Convergence Cooperative War is to open up the lifeline of the Jinpu Road, for which the empire has concentrated its most powerful forces at present, but how can it be imagined that this war is much more difficult to carry out than the previous ones.

Thinking of this, Itagaki secretly scolded himself, greedy, just some time ago, he led his troops, all the way like a bamboo, the Chinese troops fled and could not be defeated, and they could not be chased by themselves.

But he did not realize that the Chinese troops did not lose many troops, while they shared too many troops.

There are many hilly areas in Shandong, and as long as many mountainous areas send sporadic troops to resist, it is almost impossible to advance safely.

And as they advanced to Linyi, Shandong, Itagaki Seishiro realized that his end was coming, and he had never fled so embarrassed.

Taking a deep breath and calming down his heavy heart, Seishiro Itagaki said, "Telegraph to the 16th Division that the enemy's encirclement is shrinking smaller and smaller. It is necessary to speed up the retreat, and at the same time call the general Terauchi, asking for reinforcement of air force support, and not to let the Isoya Division take Xuzhou lightly. ”

The current Itagaki Seishiro can be regarded as understanding, since entering Shandong, they have fallen into the trap of the Chinese.

Now that he has retreated, Ryosuke Isoya has become a lonely fist, and naturally there is no one to support him.

According to General Liu Yuan's habit, there is such a lone army in his mouth, and he doesn't even give him bones.

After Itagaki finished speaking, he looked at the road ahead, and the worry on his face became more and more intense.

The life there in Baisha Town is not very good, the imperial warriors are facing the attack of several times the number of Chinese soldiers, if it is not for the timely arrival of reinforcements, the current Baisha Town should have been locked by the Chinese army, and it will be really difficult for them to fly at that time.

Although several brigades of soldiers entered Baisha Town, the situation in Baisha Town was really not optimistic, and Itagaki Seishiro didn't know how to do it, and there were so many generals who could fight well from Shina.

If the Nakajima Division can't conquer Baisha Town in the shortest possible time, then after the Independent Army and Liao Yaoxiang's division come, his troops will have the possibility of being surrounded.

The huge change in Linyi, Shandong made Terauchi Shouichi completely shocked, and in the Shandong Dezhou Headquarters, Terauchi Shouichi's face was full of anger, his green tendons were bursting, and his chest was undulating.

"What are you still doing coldly, now that it is a matter of national fortune, you don't hurry up and find a way." Terauchi Shouichi burst into a shout, and it was only then that the numb commanders came to their senses.

Although everyone came to their senses, no one spoke, they were all thinking about one thing, that is, the words in the telegram sent by Matsui Ishine were simply every word, if it wasn't vetoed in public, would the current situation be so bad?

It's ridiculous that everyone was still laughing at Matsui Ishine at the time, and it seems that who is a stupid person, the judgment is made. However, despite this, Matsui Ishine was not mentioned, after all, it was too humiliating to do so.

"Waste, what's the use of the empire raising you. Immediately send a telegram to Matsui Ishine-kun in my name, apologize to him, and tell him about the current situation. Terauchi Shouichi glanced fiercely at the officers in the command headquarters, and his heart was full of annoyance.

From Chief of Staff to Confidential Staff Officer. His face was flushed, it was too embarrassing, Terauchi Shouichi's words were already very clear, everyone in their command was not as good as a defeated general, Matsui Ishone.

Of course, there are also Terauchi Shouichi's own mistakes here, but who would have thought that a Huang Hua of Tomorrow, who was ridiculed by the empire, would be able to make such an insightful opinion!?

At this time, Matsui Ishine and Ishihara were kneeling on the tatami mat face to face, and the lady was making tea for the guest Ishihara Waner.

"Matsui-kun, I knew that you definitely didn't go to work, so I came to your house to look for you, it's not good for you to slack off like this." Ishihara always spoke with a gentleman-like warmth, frustration is life, let him learn to cultivate qi, these days he read a lot of Chinese books.

The more he learned about Chinese culture, the more he felt the breadth and profundity of Chinese culture, and the more he felt that such a brutal invasion of China was a mistake.

"No, the empire won't fall now, and my work won't be so urgent, what's the matter, how can Ishihara-kun not lobby those officials of the General Staff Department be interested in coming to me as a guest." Matsui seems to have anticipated something. But he still hoped that Ishihara would say something that would make him not too upset.

"Matsui-kun, the current situation of the development of the war situation has been completely guessed by you, now General Itagaki Seishiro is retreating in a hurry, and Admiral Liu Yuan has organized a large number of troops to hunt him down, this is Terauchi Shouichi's letter of apology, he hopes that you can save the fate of the empire." Ishihara bowed to Matsui Ishone.

Hearing Ishihara's words, the indispensable Terauchi Shouichi actually apologized to him, and I don't know what Matsui Ishine didn't look happy about. Instead, worry was written on his face.

"Go, get my map." Matsui Ishone shouted to his wife.

"Matsui-kun, give up, the empire is too small, the branch is so huge, how can we win? I'm afraid you'll have to go to court-martials if you continue to get involved. With tears in her eyes, Mrs. Matsui dissuaded Matsui Ishine and said.

"Yaga. What nonsense are you talking about, with the blessing of the emperor, how can we lose the war. Matsui Ishone loved his wife very much, but he couldn't help but scold at this time.

Ishihara stopped Matsui Ishone, stood up, and asked, "Mrs. Matsui, how can you have such an opinion when you are at home every day?" ”

"Ishihara-kun, wait a minute." After saying that, he walked to the radio and turned up the power, "Forward, forward, forward." A loud singing voice sounded, and inside was the singing voice of the heroic Shina people.

"The Empire's radio department is really a bunch of rice buckets, how can they play that person's tune, even if the tune is good, it should be sung in Japanese." Ishihara said with a frown.

Then came a shocking and pleasant Japanese voice, "Japanese fascism is mad and blindly waging war against the Republic of China, which is simply an act that is beyond one's strength."

Under the leadership of the great Chairman Chiang and General Liu Yuan, the Chinese troops successively thwarted the Japanese invasion. At present, Japan is on the verge of defeat.

The war is guilty, the people are not guilty, although the Japanese invaders launched a shameless war, but the people are unprovoked, I hope poor Japanese people, you don't go to support the emperor and other fascist organizations, haven't you found that since you supported them in waging the war, you have less food and more worn clothes? How many of your children will come back alive, and your family's car will be donated to make cannons, is that fair to you?

"Yaga." Matsui was so angry that he smashed the radio at home and scolded, "China is so shameless that they put this kind of thing on an international channel." ”

"I heard that China's elite alliance of powerful countries has been preparing for many years in order to resist the invasion of the empire, and this matter has a great impact on the people, and I will personally look for those wastes from the Ministry of Broadcasting. Let them think of a way to prevent the common people from hearing this kind of thing. Let's talk about the war, because that's the most important thing right now. Ishihara restrained the anger in the center.

Mrs. Matsui pulled out a map that was very worn. Matsui Ishone stroked the map in front of him with pity, as if he had returned to the old prosperous years.

Matsui Ishone pointed to the map and said, Ishihara added and recorded.

"General Terauchi, I hope you don't lose the courage to fight, the empire only needs me Matsui as a loser. I suggest that you set up an order to the attacking Isogu Division to abandon the Tengxian that continues to attack, and the person in charge of the defense is a general who is very capable of fighting in China, named Liu Zhi, everything in front of him is an illusion made by the Zhi Na people, which deceives him, and even the Zhi Na people want to lead him to Xuzhou, and he must not go.

Now the best thing for the Isogu Division is to retreat, and it is best to retreat to Mount Tai, relying on Mount Tai of China to block the attack, and no matter how bad it is, it must go to Yanzhou.

There is also Lieutenant General Itagaki, he made a serious mistake, but now is not the time to pursue it, let him retreat now, until he has the ability to defend Jiaodong, and then stop.

In addition, near Jinan, Shandong, you need the assistance of at least two or more divisions, and there is also the fact that your troops are no longer enough to sustain the war, so you need to transfer two or three divisions from other places now.

Soon, Terauchi received a telegram from Matsui Ishone, and at this moment, the two best Japanese generals chose to give up their personal grievances for the sake of the country and embarked on the road of cooperation.

Shouichi Terauchi read the telegram while reading the contents, and as soon as the telegram was finished, a staff officer couldn't help but shout, "Reinforcements are necessary, but it's not good to transfer troops." "Until now, the empire really can't take out too many troops, and it is very difficult and humiliating to transfer troops in the empire.

Terauchi Shouichi didn't say anything, but sent the staff's questions to Japan, waiting for Matsui Ishine to solve his doubts, and now Terauchi Shouichi's mentality has been messed up.

This time it was Ishihara Wan'er who called back, "General, there is nothing good or bad, General Liu Yuan is also constantly transferring troops into the battlefield, if you want to resist their attack, the two divisions are indeed not too much of a problem, but if you want to regain the dominance of the war, then we must ask the empire for help."

Terauchi Shouichi held a telegram in his hand, pacing back and forth, if he wanted to transfer two divisions, he couldn't do it, but if he wanted to get the aid of the empire, it was not so simple.

If he asks the empire for help at this time, doesn't it mean that he is as incompetent as Matsui back then? Let the lords of the empire see themselves how.

Shouichi Terauchi was thinking, and the others were not easy to interject, and they didn't have a good way, so Itagaki lost too suddenly.

Seeing that no one else spoke, the chief of staff of Okabe said, "It takes twenty days to transfer troops from the country, which seems to be a little late for the war, and it seems that we can't get two divisions in our hands for a while." ”

"How is the situation in the first theater of operations in the northern theater." Shouichi Terauchi asked the people around him.

"Admiral Liu Yuan is the director of the Xuzhou camp, in order to cope with the war of the empire, he almost transferred the first war zone, and now there are no troops with combat effectiveness at all." A staff officer stood up and answered.

"General, all this is Matsui-kun's wishful thinking, and he himself is no longer on the battlefield, will his understanding of the battlefield be biased." Okabe didn't want to embarrass Shouichi Terauchi, so he said.

Terauchi Shouichi shook his body, gritted his teeth and said, "Pass on my order, General Isoya, the defeat of the Fifth Division in Linyi, Shandong Province has led to a great change in the battlefield situation, and now what the Tenth Division has to do is to retreat quickly, aiming at Yanzhou." ”

"Telegraphed to the 14th Division and the 21st Division of the First Theater that they had come to Jinan, Shandong by train from Hebei and Shandong respectively, and seemed to be a little worried when they thought of this, so they continued, and at the same time transferred the Segu detachment to the south and prepared for battle."

The Seko detachment, which is equivalent to the establishment of a brigade, has two wings and a total of more than 10,000 people, but Terauchi Shouichi still did not fully adopt Matsui Ishone's suggestion in the end.
