Chapter 160: Expecting a Miracle

9.160 Expect miracles

Okamura Ninji could only revise the deployment of the 11th Army again, ordering the 27th Division to attack Huangmei desperately, and at the same time drawing two brigades from the Botian detachment besieging the fortress of Madao to attack the town of Fenlu north of the Jiujiang River in a roundabout way, hoping to achieve the effect of encircling Wei and saving Zhao, so that Huang Haoran's Jiang Defense Army could divide troops to defend and reduce the pressure on the front of the 6th Division.

However, these are all external articles, and if you want to save the 6th Division, you must do another internal article!

Through Shiro Inaba's urgent telegrams almost every hour, Okamura Ninji and General Shunroku Hahata clearly understood the predicament that the 6th Division was now facing. In order to restore the combat effectiveness of the 6th Division in the shortest possible time, the Central China Dispatch Army will have a large-scale airdrop operation tonight.

If the 6th Division can successfully receive this batch of materials, then the next breakthrough operation will be a little more certain!

Let's hope everything goes well......

*************************************************************************

At the end of September, the "Autumn Tiger" was still raging in Nanjing, and although more than half a year had passed since the massacre, the terrible scenes of hell that shocked the world still echoed in the city like ghosts, often waking people who were numb and dull during the day from their night dreams.

For the Chinese, the occupied city has long since lost its vitality and is long dead.

But for those proud conquerors, the Purple Mountain is still the same Purple Mountain, and the Qinhuai River still flows as usual. The difference is that a year ago it was the capital of China, where the national capital was located, but now it is the headquarters of the Japanese Central China Front, a military town that controls the land south of the Yangtze River.

Today, a thin and short Japanese soldier has become the master of the city. As soon as he stomped his foot, the fallen earth of the eastern half of China would tremble under his feet. He is General Shunroku Hatata, the commander of the Central China side of the Japanese invasion of China.

With the fall of large swaths of China's northern territories, the attention of the Tokyo base camp was increasingly turned to Nanjing. The number of troops transferred by the Japanese army to Jiangnan was increasing, and the commander of the Japanese army in Jiangnan naturally expanded his power day by day. The commander of the Central China Front was not even inferior to any important figure in the Tokyo base camp in terms of real power and the weight of his words.

Who would have thought that Shunroku Hata, a thin and short, not amazing-looking guy, would actually get this beauty difference.

Shunroku Hata's good fortune began with the fall of Matsui Ishine. The Nanjing Massacre brought Matsui Ishine international notoriety. Although Matsui Ishine repeatedly defended himself that he was ill at the time and did not know the details, as a commander, he was still not responsible for his failure to restrain the troops.

After Matsui stepped down, Shunroku Hata took office. The Battle of Wuhan became the first major battle in which he independently commanded a front army. Seeking stability is a consistent characteristic of the six generals of Toshibata, and his requirements for the two army commanders, Okamura and Higashikure, are very concise: the offensive must advance steadily, and there must be no more mistakes like Taierzhuang.

But since the beginning of the campaign, Okamura Ninji's 11th Army has not progressed well. However, Shunroku Hata did not blame Okamura Ninji, this is because he still believes in Okamura Ninji's strength in his heart, and Hata Shunroku feels that as long as Okamura Ninji's 11th Army fights steadily, then before the arrival of winter, he will definitely be able to set foot on the ground in Wuhan.

But what Shunroku Hahata didn't expect was that Okamura Ningji's next performance was not at all restless! In fact, on the Chinese battlefield, Okamura Ningji's adventurous actions were not the first time, but because his past opponents were too weak, he was given repeated opportunities.

Finally, on the battlefield of Wuhan, Okamura Ningji met Huang Haoran, the "famous general of China", and as a result, the 6th Division was sent into the encirclement set by Huang Haoran at once! This defeat not only made Okamura Ninji lose face, but also forced the six generals of Shun Hata to a dead end!

Although the instructions from the Tokyo base camp were only a few words, Shunroku Hata was able to taste the weight. With the fiasco of Lishui and Taierzhuang in front of him, it is impossible for the emperor to make the imperial army of the modernization of the empire embarrassed in front of the world this time. Not to mention that the opponent of this imperial army is Huang Haoran again!

If the 6th Division is buried in the Huangmei and Guangji areas, then this will be the third fiasco of the imperial army in front of Huang Haoran! Although Japan is not afraid of losing a 6th Division, it is deeply afraid of losing the military prestige of the Imperial Army and losing its invincible and unstoppable momentum under the sun flag!

So the 6th Division can't just disappear on the Chinese battlefield anyway!

Toshishi Hata has been a horse for half his life, and he naturally knows the truth!

All hope is tonight, in order to rescue the 6th Division, Shunroku Hata asked for 150 transport planes from the Army Airlines through his old subordinates and followers who served in the Army Ministry and the General Staff Headquarters, and he wanted to airdrop a future for the 6th Division!

"Your Excellency, Commander! Tokyo Emergency! ”

Shunroku Hata looked at the sun outside the window that was about to sink to the horizon, and then slowly turned around, the emergency call sent at this time is usually not a good thing!

As expected, this is bad news! He revealed important information to him in the confidential department of the General Staff Headquarters: The Emperor personally inquired about the battle in Huangmei Guangji and was extremely concerned about whether the 6th Division could break the siege!

The Emperor said that the attention to the battle meant that the god-like man was already dissatisfied, and if the Central China Dispatch Army could not save the 6th Division, then the Emperor would definitely ask Hata Shunroku to hand over the throne of the commander of the Central China Dispatch Army!

This battle directly determines Shunroku Hata's future career!

"Send a telegram to Okamura Ninji and tell him that the Dispatch Corps Command has decided to put the 15th and 17th divisions into the operational sequence of the 11th Army, and I hope he will let his hands go! Organize the rescue of the 6th Division with all your might! ”

"Also, tell Lu Hang that 500 officers and military officers will be added to tonight's airdrop list, and I want to inject fresh blood into the 6th Division! Tomorrow's breakout is guaranteed to be a success! ”

"Hay!" The officer who had just arrived from the telegram quickly recorded the dictation of General Shunroku Hata with his pen and then turned to leave, and half an hour later, Okamura Ninji received this telegram in Jiujiang that made him extremely encouraging!

With the 15th and 17th divisions, the situation in which the 11th Army is unsustainable will be completely changed! Although at the moment these two divisions and regiments still belong to the "far water" that cannot catch the thirst, it is better to have hope than no hope!

There is also the decision to airdrop a large number of officers and military officers to the 6th Division, Okamura Ninji raised his hands in favor, and in the telegram sent by Inaba Shiro these days, Okamura Ninji has already felt the meaning timid! The 6th Division is indeed in need of a fresh infusion!

Hopefully, these 500 officers and officers can bring the 6th Division the courage they so desperately need, and then work a miracle!
