After the formation of the First War Zone, Aoki Jin was unexpectedly appointed by the Supreme Commander as the commander-in-chief of the First War Zone. However, due to the lack of military merits, he is still a first-class Lu Zuo (colonel) rank for the time being, but he has also received the above hint: as long as he can win the first war zone, then this combat merit is enough for him to be promoted to Lu General (Major General).

This is also the reason why Aoki Jin will be very unhappy. In his opinion, Fujii Yoshihisa's defeat of the enemy indirectly affected his future and extended the time for him to upgrade.

However, commanding a group army with the rank of first-class Lu Zuo is quite rare. No, it can be said that there are almost none.

But this world is full of war, and in terms of military exploits and achievements, the ability and leadership that Aoki Susumu has shown before are actually enough to command an army. Moreover, the battle situation on almost every front is extremely stalemate, and even many of the war situation in the theater are due to disadvantages, and the generals who can be relied on seem to be pitifully few, and they have to be promoted in the firing line. In fact, the decision to do so seems to be the right one, at least the battle in the First Theater commanded by Shin Aoki has not shown any fatigue from the beginning to the present.

Even after receiving reinforcements from Fujii Yoshihisa, Aoki Jin had a bad impression of him. But after all, everyone is on the same front, and it is impossible for him to rush over and fight with Fujii Yoshihisa, so this unhappiness can only be held in his heart.

In fact, Fujii Yoshihisa also had a rather bad impression of Aoki Shin. Fujii Yoshihisa is already a veteran general, having served in the army for more than thirty years, and in his opinion, Aoki Jin's climb is too fast, he is only in his twenties this year, but he is already about to climb to the position of Lu general. In Fujii's view, the situation is quite dangerous.

Climbing so fast will leave Aoki in a state of ignorance of the troops of all levels, and in some key commands, there may be fatal mistakes. Judging from his current command style, Aoki Jin is quite good at company-level operations. In the battles of this class, his command is always unexpected, but he is always able to achieve some unexpected gains. At a higher level, there will only be battles at the battalion level, and at most it will be a joint operation of several battalions. He almost never commanded operations and joint operations at the regimental level.

In other words, he was deliberately avoiding this kind of regimental war.

And in Fujii's view, this is caused by Aoki's unfamiliarity with the army.

And most importantly, he's very young.

Sometimes. Being young is an advantage. Being young means having a sharp spirit and daring to fight, and often under this momentum, there may be unexpected results. But being young also means having little experience. Although Aoki has fought a lot of battles by now, can he be a commander for more than ten years just by being a general?

This battle will not give him too many opportunities to fight at the company level, and in some places there will definitely be large-scale group operations. Is Aoki capable of breaking through the defenses of the Chinese troops?

In short, Yoshihisa Fujii was quite skeptical that Aoki would be able to capture the northern front. Among his plans, there are also plans for dealing with the defeat or stalemate of the northern front. In his opinion. There are relatively few enemies on their own side, and the offensive will progress faster than on the northern front. As long as Aoki Jin can drag the battle to the end of the battle on his side, he will naturally be able to draw troops to support, no matter whether it is a group charge or a two-sided attack at that time, his own side will definitely be able to occupy the victory, and ......

Subsequent exploits. Of course, I will take most of it.

On the other hand, General Wang has also obtained the information of the opponent this time.

Fujii Yoshihisa is also a relatively famous old general. There are many ace troops under him, and he has been in the army for more than 30 years, and he has slowly climbed from the grassroots level to the position of general, so it can be said that he has quite rich experience. It's just because of his age. His style of conduct began to become a little more conservative, so his troops' combat capabilities were slightly more defensive. But it is only slightly biased, and in terms of attack, the combat effectiveness of his troops is also very strong, otherwise it is absolutely impossible for him to break through the second theater of operations of the Chinese troops.

You must know that the troops deployed in the second theater of operations are also ace troops, and they are also not so easy to defeat.

He attacked the southern front mainly with 70,000 troops. And the 42nd Army stationed there was only 30,000 men. Twice the strength of its own makes the 42nd Army an all-round disadvantage in every aspect.

General Wang got the information and deliberately spoke to the commander of the 42nd Group Army to express his concerns.

However, he really couldn't draw troops from his side, so he also communicated with the rear general headquarters and proposed to increase the 42nd Group Army. However, this proposal was not immediately adopted, but was retained, and presumably the high-level leaders in the rear were meeting to discuss it at this time.

General Wang let out a long sigh of irritability.

And the commander of his side, Aoki Jin, General Wang was also very impressed.

This should be the youngest senior commander of the Japanese unit now, and the speed of the climb is incredible, and he has never seen an officer who can climb so fast.

One of his feet had already stepped into the realm of a general, but he was only in his twenties.

Although he was young, he was able to lead the First Army and the 42nd Group Army of the First Theater for such a long time, and General Wang had no reason to despise him. He immediately ordered the intelligence department to start collecting all the information about Aoki Shin, and any details were ordered to be collected and sent to his desk.

In addition, Aoki Jin now has 30,000 troops in his hands, and General Wang can definitely not attack his own defense line with this amount of strength, and even his own field troops do not need to be dispatched, all of them are shrunk behind the defense line, and his three defense lines are enough to grind all these people to death.

However, he was also sure that there would definitely be reinforcements from Yoshihisa Fujii's side. According to the intelligence, Fujii Yoshihisa had more than 170,000 troops in the second theater, but he did not know how many people he would support.

The reconnaissance planes did not dare to dispatch reconnaissance at will, because if they made too many moves, they would certainly be discovered; second, the defense of the Japanese troops in the second theater had already been established, and the reconnaissance planes would basically not be able to fly in.

The only eyeliner on the road is the black saber squad of Zhang Tianhai and others. At this time, General Wang also began to congratulate himself on setting up a reconnaissance post there, otherwise he didn't know how many enemies he would face, and the battle situation would be quite bad.
