Chapter 848 Chittagong

After discussing the situation on the Indian side, Kiichiro Hiranuma asked the two of them about China.

According to their intelligence, China may start a battle to recover Nanjing, and now the Japanese top brass is not hopeful that the Japanese army and navy will be able to hold Nanjing and Shanghai, because in the past two years, they have been defeated in their battles in China, and those who are relatively well-informed in Japan are not optimistic about the situation in China.

In fact, Japan's situation in China is indeed very dangerous.

"Retreat, full retreat, except for Manchuria, we are in China, no longer put any troops, even if we want to let go, China will definitely fight, now China hopes to recover all the land, and China's current strength, there is indeed this possibility, now our empire's strategy is mainly in the Americas, China's affairs, we can slow down first!" Hideki Tojo said.

"Yo Xi, I think so too, we can attack China at any time, as long as our new planes can come out, China, it is not difficult for us, but now the empire needs to maintain more troops.

Now our troops in China are our own soldiers, and we should withdraw those troops and let them train the troops recruited from Southeast Asia and India, so that our troops can expand quickly! Mitsumasa Minai nodded and said.

"I kind of regret signing a comprehensive strategic partnership agreement with Germany, if we withdraw the Kwantung Army at this time, the Reich's troops can be expanded even more, but without Germany's help, our equipment will not be upgraded so quickly, damn it!" Kiichiro Hiranuma spoke.

"Hey, in fact, it is still Germany that occupies the main force to fight the Soviet Union, and it is not difficult for us to fight the Soviet Union, because the Soviet Union does not have many troops in the Far East, which adds up to more than 2 million, and our Kwantung Army now has more than 2 million.

Before the fight, we continued to mobilize troops to the Far East, and it is estimated that in the past of mobilizing 2 million new troops, there is no problem at all, and the key now is not the Soviet Union, nor the United States, but China, a very inconspicuous China! Hideki Tojo persuaded Kiichiro Hiranuma over there.

"Yo Xi, it's true, we really shouldn't have fought in the Guannai in the first place, maybe we don't have so much trouble now, China still looks very weak now, but their weapons and equipment, the training level of their troops, and their sources of troops are all very terrifying.

China has a population of 40,000,000, they want to expand the army, they can expand the army to tens of millions, and we have to suffer to fight with such a country, and now, they are completely capable of this strength, they are able to produce a large number of individual weapons, they can produce tanks, planes, damn it, how did they get it? Is there any intelligence that it was the United States that helped? Mitsumasa Yonechi asked, looking at Hideki Tojo.

"There is no such information, on the contrary, according to what we have learned, the United States now wants to find China to purchase weapons!" Hideki Tojo shook his head lightly and said.

"As for China, in my opinion, it is better not to provoke them, it is right to retreat from India, Manchuria, as long as we hold out until Germany attacks the Soviet Union, they can return it to them if they want us, we still don't want to fight with China for the time being, and now if we fight with China, our empire will suffer a big loss!" Mitsumasa Yonechi spoke.

"Yo Xi, however, I still want to send negotiators to China and discuss with them, and in one year, we will return them to Manchuria, provided that they do not attack us Japan, do you think it will work?" Hiranuma Kiichiro looked at the two of them and said.

"It's completely possible, but I'm afraid that China won't talk about it, now the relationship between the United States and China is very good, and the United States needs China's help, so it has also given China a huge economic aid, and we are worried that the United States will pay greater benefits in exchange for China's support."

And then there's the Soviet Union, no matter what, the relationship between the Soviet Union and Yan'an is okay, although there is evidence that their relationship is wrong, but I think China is still very likely to help them.

After all, in the early days of our full-scale war with China, the Soviet Union provided a lot of economic and weapons assistance to China, and China may also help the Soviet Union, but we still don't know whether it will help or not, I hope they won't help! Hideki Tojo said.

"Yo Xi, I hope they don't help, if they help, our Kwantung Army will be really in trouble, we have to face not only the Soviet troops, but also the Chinese troops, especially China now has its own air force, and it is still such a powerful air force, once they help, not only can they threaten the supply of our troops fighting in the entire Far East, but also directly bomb our Japanese mainland, this is not good news!

Also, if China is really willing to help the United States, then, it is very likely that in the next few months, China's air force may set out from Shandong to bomb our mainland and the naval forces in the waters near us! Mitsumasa Minai said with a sigh.

"The most difficult thing to deal with is China, they don't want to negotiate with us, they actually think the same as us, they both want to put each other to death, with China next to us, our empire is not at ease, and with our empire next to us, they are not at ease with China!" Kiichiro Hiranuma spoke.

When Hideki Tojo and Mitsumasa Yonechi heard it, they both nodded, this is a situation that never stops, and no one can alleviate it, just to see who can't survive first!

If they want to attack China in an all-out way, they can't do it now, China has too many troops, even if they all occupy China, they still want to continue to fight, they all know that although China has a lot of soft bones, but there are more hard bones, and they can't finish killing.

It's those soft bones, you don't know when they will shoot you in the back, so this is also the reason why Japan has not dared to recruit soldiers into the army in China, once they enter the army, if there are only officers on their side, maybe some night, the officers on their side will be killed.

"Talk, we must talk, we can drag on for a day, we must show our goodwill, let China believe in us, even if it is a day, we must buy more time for the empire to defeat the United States, and now Germany also means this, they do not want us to continue to fight with China, but to completely solve the big trouble of the United States." Kiichiro Hiranuma sat there and said through gritted teeth.

"Hey!" Hideki Tojo and Mitsumasa Yonechi nodded and said.

"Okay, you guys go back, I'll send a telegram to Gangmura-kun later, agreeing to him to carry out this plan!" Kiichiro Hiranuma said to them.

At this time, in the forest 10 kilometers away from Chittagong, Wang Haibin, commander of the 242nd Division, and Liu Qingyuan, commander of the 243rd Division, were looking at the map, and according to Hu Bin's order, they were going to launch an attack on Chittagong at about 12 noon.

"Report, the reconnaissance plane sent a telegram that in the nearby waters, no devil's fleet was found!" A staff officer came over with a telegram from the Air Force and said to Wang Haibin.

"Very good, there is no naval artillery, so don't worry too much, the only thing to risk now is that we don't know how many people there are in Chittagong, our special regiment didn't send troops to reconnoiter this side before, and I heard that there are a large number of troops retreating from Rangoon to this side, and I don't know how many troops have come, but we still have to fight!" After Wang Haibin read the telegram, he said to Liu Qingyuan.

"Fight, if you don't fight, you can't do it, after fighting here, we can be regarded as tearing open the opening into the interior of India, and he can't block it if he wants to." Liu Qingyuan nodded.

"It's past 9 o'clock. It's time for our troops to go! I asked one of my regiments to be the vanguard and quickly insert it into the front of Chittagong, which is still the old way of fighting, our division attacks the front, your division attacks from the flank, you launch an attack an hour later than us, and our division covers your division.

If there are a lot of devils in Chittagong by then, we will fight slowly, and your division will have to shoulder the responsibility of blocking the troops retreating from Rangoon at that time, and I estimate that they will not have much combat effectiveness! Wang Haibin said.

"It's better to fight during the day, our air force can provide us with air support, if it is at night, although it can also be supported, but we don't know how many troops there are! It's not good to ask for bombing. Liu Qingyuan said.

"Okay, that's it, according to the plan we agreed before, no matter how many devils he has in Chittagong, he will eat them all! Let's go. Wang Haibin said and began to pack up the map.

The two of them didn't know at all that at this time in Chittagong, there was a brigade of devils, and there were many brigades of recruit troops, and the troops who had withdrawn from Rangoon had not yet arrived here.

Those retreating devil troops did not dare to go during the day, and they couldn't go fast if they left at night, and there were still a large number of deserters, so the entire retreating army would now have to walk at least one night away from Chittagong.

Therefore, in Chittagong, the guard general Anchang Zhengping was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot at this time, and he was anxious not because of Wang Haibin and their troops, but because of Xiang Feng's troops.

According to the information he received from the telegram sent by the retreating troops, at least 100,000 troops had been captured by Xiang Feng's troops at this time, and Xiang Feng's troops were still rapidly maneuvering to this side.
