After Okamura Ninji heard the words of his chief of staff, he also thought about it.

"Your Excellency Commander, we can't wait, if we don't really defeat Hebei, then we will have a foothold in Shandong, a place like Hu Hao! So we'd better go all out this time to solve their Yan'an side shili,

Since the first Battle of Wuhan, the Yan'an side has always dealt us a fatal blow at the most critical time, causing us to lose all three battles of Wuhan, not only that, but now Hu Hao has also intervened in Shandong, and directly divided us and the Kwantung Army into two pieces, this is their army is not good, if it does, it is estimated that we will be eaten by them! When the chief of staff saw that Okamura Ninji was still hesitating, he persuaded again.

"I'm not saying whether to ask the base camp for this order, I'm thinking, our Hebei troops can block it for a few days, and now they have a part of their troops attacking our Baoding,

Hu Hao's next target must be Tianjin, these two places are places we strictly guard, if we can stop Hu Hao for a week, then there is no need to mobilize the troops in Shenyang, you must know that the troops in Yan'an are also in Mongolia like the northeast to test pressure, if we move the troops, they will definitely start to attack the place where our troops are empty! Then we will lose even more! Okamura stood up, walked back and forth, and said his considerations.

"But what if you can't stop it for seven days?" The staff officer immediately asked.

"If it can't be stopped, then Shenyang's troops must go south, establish a defensive line in the area of Tangshan, and wait for the Kwantung Army in the Far East to move south!" Okamura Ninji continued.

"Hey!" When the chief of staff heard Okamura Ninji say this, he could only nod his head, he knew that he was a chief of staff, and he had no decision-making power, as long as he had the power to make suggestions, whether the commander listened to him or not was not in his own consideration.

"How's the build-up of troops on our side? Now it's time for a place! Okamura asked immediately.

"It will take another two days to complete the build-up at the front. 2 days later to be able to launch an attack on Shandong! The chief of staff spoke up immediately.

"Is there any valuable information in Shandong, now we are completely confused about the situation in Shandong, did those intelligence agencies send people into Shandong?" Okamura then asked.

"General, now our intelligence agency has sent people in, according to their intelligence, now the people of the Independence Army are all doing haode defense on the border line, and it is very tight, and our people have no way to penetrate his defensive position in a period of time,

In addition, according to the information we exchanged from Germany, Hu Hao seems to have left only one of the troops of the column they said. It seems that there are more than 100,000 troops, and they now have nearly 500,000 recruits training in Shandong, so if we only have 150,000 troops, it will be very difficult to take Shandong! "The chief of staff suggested.

"It doesn't matter, tomorrow there will be a fleet coming in Shanghai, which has the strength of 2 divisions, all of which are transferred from Southeast Asia, and they are all veterans. When the time comes, we will land directly in Qingdao! Okamura Ninji said immediately.

"Ahh Hi! The general is wise! When the chief of staff heard this, he immediately said happily that if he could successfully land in Qingdao, he would be able to directly expose the troops of the Independent Army in Shandong! So as long as his position is messed up. Then it's good to fight!

"Well, okay, you go down first!" Okamura Ninji also nodded with a smile,

I thought to myself. This is the killer weapon to deal with Shandong, as long as this killer weapon comes out, Shandong's independent army will definitely be in chaos at that time. As long as it's messy, you have a chance!

The staff officer was just about to go out when he saw a communications staff officer hurrying in.

"Report, Baoding defenders urgent telegram!"

"What, didn't the Independence Army just attack? How come there are urgent telegrams, what are they doing? As soon as Okamura Ninji heard what the communications staff officer said, he immediately asked. The staff officer didn't dare to speak, so he directly sent the telegram to Okamura Ninji, and Okamura Ninji looked at the telegram,

"Baga, how can they break through the first line of defense so quickly, how did they defend it!" When Okamura Ninji saw the contents of the telegram, he immediately cursed.

"General, is there something wrong with our defense in Baoding?" The chief of staff also immediately asked.

"I want them to send me the situation immediately, what the hell is going on, why did the first line of defense only defend for less than 2 hours!" Okamura Ninji shouted at the communications staff officer, who immediately went out, and then Okamura Ninji showed the telegram to the chief of staff.

"Nani, it's been breached!" When the chief of staff saw it, he couldn't believe it, you know, there is a division of nearly 50,000 people on the first line of defense, how can it be so fast!

"General, it seems that we can't expect them to be able to hold out for a week!" The chief of staff immediately looked up and said.

"They are all pigs, and a line of defense can't stop them for two hours!" Okamura Ninji slapped the table angrily and scolded. Then he walked back and forth with his waist propped up, and the chief of staff didn't dare to speak when he saw him like this,

Originally, it was okay just now, although the airport was lost, but as long as Shandong was defeated and Hebei's troops blocked for 7 days, then all these losses were worth it, and they could be exchanged for enough returns.

But the current situation is that they can't stop it for seven days at all, if they can't stop it, then the Kwantung Army will go south and be blocked by Hu Hao in Hebei, so it will be difficult to fight, and then the Kwantung Army will be caught between the two forces of the Independent Army and the Eighteenth Army in southern Liaoning, and it will be a protracted war!

"Report, they sent the details over!" The communications staff officer who had just gone out came in with a few telegrams, and Okamura Ninji hurriedly took the telegram and looked at it carefully.

"Baga, there are so many cannons, and they are all submachine guns, which have suppressed almost all of our defensive firepower!" Okamura Ninji said in surprise after reading the telegram. And the chief of staff didn't know what the telegram was talking about, so he could only do it in a hurry.

"Order, immediately send a telegram to the base camp, and let Shenyang send 80,000 combat troops down, immediately!" Okamura Ninji immediately ordered, and the communications staff officer just now went out immediately.

And when the chief of staff got the telegram from Okamura Ninji's hand, he immediately read it. After reading it, my head was sweating.

"Your Excellency Commander, I think we made a big mistake, we only paid attention to Hu Hao, but we didn't pay too much attention to Hu Hao's troops, now the firepower of his troops is very strong, it seems to be stronger than our defensive troops, if this is the case, we will be very difficult to fight this battle, and if we don't do it, we will lose all our advantages in Northeast China and North China!" The chief of staff looked up and said in surprise.

"Huh?" Okamura Ninji looked at the chief of staff in bewilderment.

"Your Excellency Commander, you see, the artillery of the Independent Army actually began to bombard our positions directly, this was the opposite in the past, and together they used only our artillery to bombard the positions of the Chinese army, and they had no power to fight back, and the troops attacking the Independent Army were all submachine guns,

Then our rifles don't want to suppress them at all, plus in the plains, there is no danger at all, and their attack will be very fast! The chief of staff immediately analyzed.

"Nani!" When Okamura heard the words of his chief of staff, he immediately took the telegram back and read it carefully.

"Yaga, why did they suddenly become so powerful!" After Okamura Ninji finished reading it, he angrily crumpled the telegram into shredded paper! Then he looked up at the ceiling upstairs.

"General, we need to reassess the combat effectiveness of the independent army led by Hu Hao!" The chief of staff said immediately.

"Do it now, quick!" Okamura Ninji said as he looked at the ceiling and ordered.

"Hey!" The chief of staff went out immediately, and Okamura Ninji was in a very uncalm mood, and he ignored this problem, and if he didn't make it happen, his chances this time would be ruined.

In Baoding, now that the men and horses of the independent army have cleared the first line of defense, they have begun to approach the second line of defense.

"Haha, mother, little devil, these finally you know the power of the cannonball, call you mother, every time we hit us, we always let the cannon open the way first, this old man will too!" Deputy Commander Xu said happily.

"Haha, tonight's battle is good, not only did our recruits see blood, but the casualties were so small, the combat effectiveness of these devils we faced was really reduced a lot, and it was far from what we faced before!" Deputy Chief of Staff Liu said with a smile.

"Well, it's really a lot worse, if it was before, where would we dare to attack the defense line defended by several divisions of the devil! And it was won so smoothly, it seems that the strength of the devil's side is also tight, this is really like what the second stunned man said, as long as the Kwantung Army is killed, our independent corps will have no opponent in China! Deputy Commander Xu nodded and said.

"Well, by the way, I just don't know the specific casualties now, but it's definitely not big! When the time comes, I will report to Hu Hao and let him know about this matter! I feel that the jihua we don't know is the ultimate goal of our battle, so it's better for us to tell Hu Hao about everything! Deputy Chief of Staff Liu nodded and said.

"Well, I should have guessed part of it, but I don't dare to believe it, I always feel that the danger is a little bigger, but the above agreed to Hu Hao's combat jihua, then the above must have agreed after comprehensive consideration!" Deputy Commander Xu thought for a while and said! (To be continued......)
