"Where is Ishiguro Osa?"

"Report to the commander of the division, just past the field well. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" reported Operational Staff Officer Mizuda Shaoza.

"Twenty trucks, fill up with gasoline, send it to Ishiguro Daisa, speed up the march, we will occupy Juye County before the Chinese."

"Hay!"

"Division commander, if we insist on going our own way, if Your Excellency the commander is to blame, we will all take off our military uniforms and return to China for trial." Tadayoshi Sano was a little scared.

"Sano-kun is cowardly?" However, the commander of the 27th Brigade, Major General Toshima Botaro, was very supportive of Kenji Dohihara's strategy.

At present, this situation has been created, irreparable, no matter how bad it is, it can still be worse than the current situation, at this time, there is only the courage to break the cauldron and give the honorary division of the Chinese army a fatal blow, which may change the situation of the war.

"Please ask the Air Force to dispatch reconnaissance planes to conduct low-altitude reconnaissance of the enemy's troops, and I want to grasp the first-hand information of the enemy's troops." Kenji Dohihara sat in a tactical chair, wrapped in a military blanket, his face was very ugly, but he gritted his teeth and insisted.

"The front army headquarters has called, asking the division commander to give a reasonable explanation for these actions." The adjutant walked in with a telegram.

"The Chinese army is entrenched in Yanzhou, Jining area, it is of little significance to cut off the Longhai line in the south, we simply cannot achieve the goal of blocking the elite of the fifth theater of the Chinese army, once the Chinese j retreats from Weishan Lake, they can easily withdraw from Luxi into eastern Henan, although our army is a mechanized corps, but it is very difficult to block more than 100,000 troops, not to mention, they have mobilized more than fifteen divisions of troops in the eastern Henan region, in a short period of time, it is not realistic to cut off the Longhai line." Kenji Dohihara said slowly.

"But the Central China Front has already reached Yongcheng and Suxian, and the next step is Xuzhou, and the base camp will not let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

"Do those people in the military department think that with a stroke on the drawing, they can easily capture the Chinese city?" Kenji Tohihara sneered, "You haven't seen how many blocking troops the Chinese have deployed here, and they won't give up this lifeline easily?" ”

"Does the division commander mean that the Chinese will not give up Xuzhou easily?"

"Yes, Xuzhou's strategic position is so important that if it is lost, the Chiang government in Wuhan will lose the support of the people, most of the country will fall into the hands of the empire, and Chiang will only be a local power."

"You infer that the Chinese will definitely defend Xuzhou, right?"

"No, I can't make such a judgment, at least not yet, but judging by the current trend of the Chinese, they have plans to defend Xuzhou." Kenji Dohihara said slowly.

In Jinan, the base camp dispatch squad and the operations section of the Second Army Staff Headquarters are also discussing strategies.

"Xuzhou's strategic position is important, and the Chinese will certainly not give up easily, so our strategic plan to annihilate the enemy's elite troops in the fifth encirclement of Xuzhou can still continue, even if we cannot completely annihilate all of its elites, we can also eat some of them, this is beyond doubt, we have this ability." Second Army Operations Staff Officer Kiyofuku Masakimichi Okamoto.

"The 10th Division was defeated, what do we use to contain the elite of the Chinese?"

"Cut off the Longhai Road and stop the Chinese from retreating before they realize it."

"The problem is that they have realized that the 14th Division has been consumed by the Chinese for a week in Jucheng, they do not have enough fuel, and heavy mechanized equipment has become a drag!"

"Why don't you give up your heavy equipment and move forward lightly, or split a crack army and make a quick roundabout assault?" Kiyofuku Okamoto questioned, "Isn't General Dohihara not aware of the truth of the speed of soldiers?" ”

"After he suffered the loss of China's J Honor First Division in Nanjing, did he think about revenge and ignore the interests of the empire?" Suzuki, chief of staff of the Second Army, sharply questioned the operational staff representatives of the First Army.

"This ......"

"The 14th Division must immediately move south to cut off the Longhai Railway and ensure the encirclement of the Chinese army in the Xuzhou area by the Empire." Kiyofuku Okamoto said solemnly.

"I also agree with Okamoto-kun's opinion that the 14th Division must act immediately and implement the plan to cut off the Longhai Railway." Muto Akimichi, deputy chief of staff, representative of the Central China Front, said that the battle could not be carried out by Kenji Tohihara's temperament.

"The problem is that our 14th Division does not have enough fuel, and without oil, the heavy equipment will not be able to keep up with the troops in time, so how can we cut off the Longhai railway line?"

"You can't fight without oil, are the 14th Divisions all cowards?"

"Who are the cowards?"

"The 14th Division is a coward, I was scared by Chinese, it's been a week, and it's only taken that little way, and it has also affected our General Isoya......"

"Muto Daisa, do you think it is an easy matter to cut off the Longhai Road, it is better for your Central China Front to do it, why do you need our first army?"

"Yaga!" Muto Zhang was also on fire, and immediately slapped the table, his eyes were full of fierce light, this was about to turn his face.

"Report!"

"The latest information, according to the core secrets obtained by our intelligence officers, the Chinese military has sent a general to sit in eastern Henan, his name is Xue Boling, you should have heard of it, right?"

"I've heard that this person is very famous in China, and he has a nickname: Tiger Boy, which means the meaning of the tiger in the army, during the Battle of Songhu, the empire had a fight with this king, when he was the commander-in-chief of the 19th Group Army, the command tactics were fierce and very difficult." Akira Muto said.

"In addition, on the Longhai line, they sent three armies, spread out like a long snake along the way, it was difficult to break through in a short time, and Niu Daoman besieged Yongcheng for three days, but failed to take it."

"It is not enough to rely on the forces of one side to cut off the Longhai Road, so I hope that the two armies will cooperate so that the door can be closed for the Chinese army to withdraw westward." Muto Akimichi.

"What is General Xiangyue's attitude, since the First Army has joined this battle, it should obey the command of the side, instead of doing whatever it wants, and fight as much as it wants!"

"Our First Army believes that the significance of eliminating the honorary first division of the China Army is far greater than the elimination of the hundreds of thousands of rabble in Xuzhou." The representative of the combat staff of the First Army said, "You all know the combat effectiveness of the Honor 1st Division, some people have experienced it personally, the Empire also lists the Honor 1st Division as the most dangerous enemy, and even His Majesty the Emperor has issued a decree to eradicate the Honor 1st Division, this army is now in Luxi, this is a golden opportunity, if you let it go, I am afraid you will regret it in the future." ”

"Not necessarily, this honorary first division is so powerful?"

"The 1st Division of Honor is indeed a fierce enemy of the Imperial Army, and as long as it exists, the threat to the Empire will be greater, and its leader Leng Feng is more dangerous, but his whereabouts are secretive, and our intelligence officers have not been able to know his specific location many times." Akira Muto said.

"Is this what you Commander Kazuki meant?"

"This is what our First Army means."

"Can just one honorary division stop the advance of the Great Japanese Empire, ridiculous, I seriously suspect that your First Army is deliberately dragging its feet for personal gain!"

"For personal gain, what is there for personal gain, ridiculous?"

“……”

After less than three sentences, the quarrel started again, and Suzuki Frank, who was the chief of staff of the Second Army, also felt a headache, and Hashimoto Group, the chief of operations of the Tokyo base camp, was also a bag.

Now the problem is very serious, the Battle of Xuzhou has made the Second Army such a mess, and the face and inside are all lost, and these people do not think of solving the problem, but accusing each other and shirking responsibility.

"This soil fertilizer plain gentleman is iron-hearted to throw off his arms and do it, what can we do?" Suzuki led the way and the Hashimoto group out of the conference room and quietly said to the Hashimoto group.

"Why did Suzuki-kun say that?"

"Then you don't know Tu Fei Yuanjun, he is a person who does not stop until he reaches his goal, in his opinion, although the chess he is playing now is like walking a tightrope, it is very dangerous, but once he succeeds, the harvest is huge." Suzuki said.

"But this is contrary to the 84th operational order issued by the base camp, and he is blatantly disobeying the military order." The Hashimoto group has an opinion about Kenji Dohihara.

"He's been in a difficult situation that you and I can't even imagine."

"Just because of that honorary first division?"

"Yes, his oil is in one. It was destroyed by the 1st Division of Honor at night, and the other party used the heavy artillery of a regiment to exchange with him, and this person was Leng Feng, the commander of the 1st Division of Honor. Suzuki said.

"How come I don't know this?"

"Has Hashimoto-kun studied Leng Feng?" Suzuki asked bluntly.

"Just about to ask for advice!" Hashimoto group masado road.

"Among the generals of our army who have studied Leng Feng the most, there is no second person except Tu Fei Yuanjun, and he even mentioned to me that if this Leng Feng does not die, he will be the most terrifying opponent of the empire in the future." Suzuki said, "Even he predicted that the empire might be destroyed in his hands. ”

"How is this possible, Tu Feiyuan-kun is alarmist." Hashimoto didn't believe what Suzuki said at all, which was too scary, and such a prophecy was simply a lie.

"I think so too, but when Leng Feng suddenly appeared in Jining with his honorary first division, I immediately felt that although Tu Fei Yuanjun was a little exaggerated, his hunch was right, and we still underestimated this Leng Feng." Suzuki said worriedly, "Dohihara-kun's wisdom and ability are definitely among the best among the army generals of the empire, but this time, he even used the dark chess he had arranged for many years, and finally hit the path of the cold front, and now we don't even know how Isoya-kun and his troops fell into the hands of the enemy, as if they disappeared silently." ”

"This matter is indeed strange, but it seems that the news of Isotani-kun's capture has not been confirmed conclusively?"

"The news of the pit viper will not be wrong, not to mention, we have also got some news from other channels, and it is basically certain that Isoya-kun has fallen into the hands of the Chinese." Suzuki said.

"Then Tu Fei Yuan-kun should withdraw immediately, right?"

"It's already late, what's more, if you withdraw at this time, there will be no chance at all." Suzuki sighed.

"Suzuki-kun supports Dohihara-kun to change his original battle plan?" Hashimoto was surprised that he didn't say that at the meeting just now.

Suzuki smiled bluntly and didn't speak.

Hashimoto was stunned for a moment, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes, but soon he came to his senses, standing from Kenji Dohihara's point of view, he could only make such a choice, the troops were all in formation, if he didn't fight once, he would really lose.

But from the perspective of the front army or the base camp, Kenji Dohihara's single-minded behavior cannot be tolerated, and this kind of challenge to authority must be pushed down, otherwise anyone can come to such a fight in the future, how can this battle be fought?

But the reality has given Tu Feiyuan a glimmer of life, that is, time, and he still has time before the base camp has made a final decision.

If his venture succeeds, there may be a possibility of change, and if it fails, he can only carry out the strategy established by the base camp.
