The Special High School Class is responsible for the rank of major general.

Usually when you go downstairs, the lieutenant generals and division commanders are timid and afraid of offending them.

But at this moment he was like a child who did something wrong, lowering his head and letting Okamura Yanji's spitting star squirt on him, he didn't dare to move.

"Tell me the truth, has the intelligence department figured out how big the Eighth Route Army is!" After scolding, Okamura Yasuji forcibly suppressed his anger, took a deep breath and stared at his subordinates and asked.

The Special High School lowered his head and hesitated for a long time before answering: "Commander, according to the information, the main forces of the Eighth Route Army in North China will definitely have more than 50,000 people!"

"In addition to the main forces, these bases have also formed local troops and guerrillas with at least 500,000 people!"

"As long as the battlefield requires it, these troops can become the main force at any time!"

"As for their artillery troops, there is not much difference from their introduction on the parade ground!"

"The larger base areas used the mountain artillery captured by the Imperial Army to form independent mountain artillery battalions, field artillery battalions, and even mountain artillery regiments!"

"The smaller base has also formed an independent mountain artillery company, a field artillery company, and at least a mortar company!"

"The best-equipped ones are the Eighth Route Army in southwest Shanxi and the Eighth Route Army in Jin-Cha-Hebei!"

"Especially the new Eighth Route Army Regiment, which is active in southwest Shanxi, has already reached one regiment in size, and many troops of the Chinese ** team cannot match their regiment!"

"In the new first regiment, mortars, infantry artillery, and mountain artillery have been equipped with a large number of troops! There are even several independent field artillery battalions and one heavy artillery battalion!"

"In addition to being equipped with a lot of artillery captured by the Imperial Army, their own arsenal also produced many large-caliber mortars and small-caliber mortars equipped with troops!"

"It has reached the standard for each brigade to configure a 12o mm caliber medium-sized mortar company."

"This kind of mortar is very powerful, not only on the field battlefield, one blows up a large area!"

"Because the large amount of medicine is charged, it also has a great destructive effect on the fortifications!"

"As long as you hit the target, except for the permanent fortifications built with reinforced concrete, other fortifications may be directly destroyed!"

Okamura Yasuji had a calm face throughout the whole process, and finally couldn't help but curse.

"Enough!"

"Starting this morning, all I heard in my ears was bad news~ Isn't there any good news?"

"If we continue to develop according to this situation, we will just give up North China to the Eighth Route Army. What else can we fight?"

"The loss of a large number of soldiers of the Imperial Army was not counted in the end. Instead, the enemy became stronger and stronger in the encirclement and suppression!"

The Chief of Staff, who had not spoken, interjected: "Your Excellency Commander, there is good news here!"

"The imperial army that reinforced Shijiazhuang from Taiyuan has successfully passed through Yangquan!"

"The Eighth Route Army that attacked Yangquan lost to the Imperial Army and was defeated on the whole line. Yangquan returned to the hands of the Imperial Army!"

"The only regret is that the large amount of supplies hoarded by the Imperial Army in Yangquan were stolen by the Eighth Route Army, and the ones that were not stolen were burned to ashes by their fire!"

"The Shijiazhuang garrison has just received good news!"

"The Eighth Route Army that attacked them has stopped!"

"They must have received the news that our reinforcements were about to reach Shijiazhuang. They were afraid that they would be surrounded by our reinforcements, and they were ready to slip away when the situation was not good!"

Okamura Yanji's face finally looked much better, and he stared at the Chief of Staff and continued to ask.

"Where are several sweeping troops attacking the Eighth Route Army base?"

"Have they withdrawn safely? If they withdraw, they will directly attack Shijiazhuang and block all the roads around Shijiazhuang that the Eighth Route Army can retreat!"

"I want to wipe out all the Eighth Route Army!"

"They demonstrated their strength through exercises and demonstrated to us. Then we will kill the troops outside Shijiazhuang City and respond to them with a big victory!"

The smile on the Chief of Staff's face disappeared in an instant.

Okamura Yasuji's heart skipped a beat, and a very bad premonition came out of his mind.

After hesitating for a long time, the Chief of Staff replied: "There are four encirclement and suppression troops in total, and they are all still in the Eighth Route Army base."

"The Eighth Route Army is too cunning. Not only does it send troops to block and harass the Imperial Army along the way, it also destroyed all the necessary paths for the Imperial Army to retreat, and arranged a large number of mines!"

"Even if the four-way encirclement and suppression troops have air force reinforcements, they will only retreat ten kilometers every day~"

"Also, the Eighth Route Army seems to be planning to eat our four-way encirclement and suppression troops~"

"It seems that the troops cannot be completed, and they are constantly rushing towards our encirclement and suppression troops!"

"The encirclement and suppression troops of the whole route have been reduced from one brigade to two infantry brigades!"

"The other three sweeping troops suffered huge losses, and more than half of the casualties must be there!"

Okamura Yasuji became popular, but this time the target of the fire was not the person in charge of the Special High School Division, but the Chief of Staff.

He stared at the Chief of Staff and cursed: "Baga! What good news is this!"

"Tell me, how many Eighth Route Army have the imperial army wiped out in total until now!"

The Chief of Staff hesitated and replied: "The reinforcements and the sweeping troops killed after entering their base areas are definitely the eighth Route Army that has been killed!

Okamura Yasuji continued to curse: "Then tell me how many troops the Imperial Army has lost in total!"

"According to the casualties and war reports reported by each department to the headquarters, the casualties of the Imperial Army have exceeded 10,000!" the Chief of Staff replied.

As soon as he said that, he was stunned.

The Imperial Army actually lost more troops than the Eighth Route Army.

You should know that in North China, except for the Imperial Army, the total strength of the Imperial Army is less than half of the Eighth Route Army. Even if the casualties of one to one were found on the battlefield, the entire North China Front Army was not enough to consume the Eighth Route Army.

In front of him, the Imperial Army suffered more casualties than the Eighth Route Army, which obviously cannot be said to be a victory.

Not only is it not a victory, but it is also a complete defeat!

The chief of staff stood there with an awkward look on his face, originally thinking of alleviating Okamura's anger.

Unexpectedly, not only did it not relieve it, but it made his anger even more intense~

"Tell me the order!" After a long time, Okamura Yasuji suddenly ordered.

"I have already marched and rushed to Shijiazhuang through Yangquan's reinforcements. Even if the Eighth Route Army attacking Shijiazhuang cannot be killed, I will keep half of it!"

"Chief of Staff, you go and issue an order, and you will not complete the mission and engage in military law!"

Looking at the murderous intent of Okamura Yasuji, the Chief of Staff did not dare to say a word and rushed out directly.
