For Luo Zhuoying at this moment, his interest has been aroused. Since Guo Qiliang admires this special agent company so much, it would definitely be wrong if he did not go and take a look.

"Okay, then I'll take a look." Luo Zhuoying nodded.

…

Just as the Wuhan Garrison Headquarters was preparing to defend Wuhan, there was a man who was already going crazy with anxiety.

This person was none other than Lieutenant General Okamura Neiji, the commander of the Japanese Eleventh Army.

"How could this happen! Order the troops to speed up the attack! We must capture the central and southern lines as quickly as possible!" Neji Okamura cursed fiercely. For him, this time he had reached the extreme point of his anger.

Why are you so angry? We have to start with the incident where the Japanese troops on the northern front broke through Xinyang a few days ago.

Time goes back to a few days ago. As soon as the news came out that the Japanese Northern Front troops, led by their commander, Prince Higashomiya Nohihiko, had broken through Xinyang in one fell swoop, Okamura Neji could not sit still.

That night, Okamura Neji couldn't sleep. He also knew very well what kind of impact this incident would have on him when the northern front troops broke through Xinyang - he was in a state of poor advancement in the middle and southern fronts, and even fought

He suffered a defeat at Wanjialing that can be called "Waterloo", but King Higashino Higashinohihiko of the North Road was able to advance all the way, almost so smoothly that it was unimaginable. Doesn't this mean that there is something wrong with Neji Okamura's ability?

?

Therefore, Okamura Neiji, who could not sleep tossing and turning, finally decided after much thought that in order to order the troops, they must attack Wuhan as soon as possible and fight with the Japanese second army on the northern route, Higashikaru Miyaminuhiko.

The troops reunited in Wuhan.

In the middle of the night, Okamura Neiji ordered the general staff to "must come up with the best attack plan for the central and southern troops before dawn, and attack Wuhan as soon as possible at all costs."

It must be said that Neji Okamura was very anxious: if he didn't show some results, let alone the possibility of being dismissed, it would be impossible to improve in a short period of time.

. He never wants to stop being the first-level commander of the infantry army!

Looking at the various arrows on the map, Okamura Neji frowned deeply. Obviously, the unsmooth progress of the southern route made it extremely difficult for him to get there.

"It's time to suspend the battle plan to outflank Wuhan on the south bank of the Yangtze River..." Okamura Neiji murmured, but his eyes were fixed on the north bank of the Yangtze River, "The progress on the north bank of the Yangtze River is pretty normal, so let's go to the north bank of the Yangtze River..."

After roughly finalizing the battle plan, Okamura Neji looked at Kobayashi Asaburo next to him, who also had a "braised egg" head shaved, and said: "Kobayashi-san! I think we should postpone the operation to outflank Wuhan from the south bank of the Yangtze River.

The plan is to attack Wuhan from the north bank of the Yangtze River and join forces with the Second Army headquarters north of Wuhan to directly cut off the retreat route of the main force of the fifth theater of the China Army in order to completely annihilate the main force of the fifth theater of the China Army! What do you think, we

Want to hear your opinion."

It has to be said that Okamura Neiji still attaches great importance to the talent of Kobayashi Asaburo. Otherwise, he would not have consulted his opinions when making major decisions, let alone Okamura Neiji was promoted to the commander-in-chief of the Japanese Army's China Expedition Force.

When he became an official, Asaburo Kobayashi was still his chief of staff.

"Your Excellency, Commander, I believe that we can change to the military plan of attacking Wuhan from the north bank of the Yangtze River. However, we must break the strategic balance. Our troops are still facing stubborn resistance from the Chinese army on the north bank of the Yangtze River. Therefore,

The subordinates suggested that we form a rapid column and join forces with the Second Army first!" Asaburo Kobayashi suggested. His move was very skillful, and it can be said that the suggestion reached Neji Okamura's heart.

The reason why Okamura Neiji was anxious was entirely because King Higashikaru Miyazaki took the lead in leading the army to break through the heavy defense lines on the northern front of Wuhan and occupy Xinyang in one fell swoop. This matter was related to his own future. Kobayashi Asasaburo could secure the Eleventh Army.

The position of chief of staff, in addition to his extremely high emotional intelligence, is also inseparable from the appreciation and support of Okamura Neji, so he can completely understand the former's anxiety.

If Okamura Neiji, a commander who trusts him so much, can no longer survive, then the next commander will definitely not trust him so much, and will even suffer consequences following the dismissal of Okamura Neiji. This is what Asasaburo Kobayashi said

He couldn't bear it, and he also didn't want his official career to come to an abrupt end, so he had to do his best to help Deputy Chief Nei Okamura overcome all difficulties!

"Quick column?" Okamura Neji hesitated for a moment.

Before Lieutenant General Okamura Neiji could react, Lieutenant General Kobayashi Asaburo continued: "Yes, it is the fast column! Our large force is now involved in the front. According to the art of war, this is our

The "regular soldiers" we want to form are our "surprise soldiers". Only by combining "regular" and "surprise" can we achieve the greatest effectiveness. As long as we can cooperate with the Second Army in Wuhan and beyond

If they join forces in Beijing, theoretically, we will arrive in Wuhan before them."

"Yo Xi... Xiaolin-kun is indeed the chief of my think tank. His brain is very useful." Okamura Neji nodded with great satisfaction, "Since you have proposed this plan, then, I want to know what you want to use.

Which army is this?"

This shows how much Okamura Neiji attaches great importance to Kobayashi Asaburo. He has to ask even such small questions. Otherwise, he would never ask a chief of staff. He can make a complete decision by himself.

"Your Excellency, Commander, I suggest that the troops of the Sixth Division be implemented." Kobayashi Asaburo said solemnly, "The troops of the Sixth Division are the most capable troops among the Imperial Army's troops in China. There are 'beasts'

The title of "Division" means that all the soldiers are from Minami Kyushu, a country with strong folk customs. Most of these people are steel workers. They have strong combat effectiveness and stronger fighting will. They are the most suitable to carry out this task, and the number of troops should not be exceeded.

many!"

"Yo Xi, Mr. Xiaolin, your suggestion is very good, let's do it like this! If there are more troops, it will be difficult to move, if there are fewer troops, and there is a possibility of being surrounded and annihilated by the enemy, let's just deploy a brigade of troops to conduct a surprise attack!

This brigade must be replenished as a priority!" Okamura Neiji said in a deep voice, there is no way, he has been overshadowed by Xue Yue's troops in Wanjialing, and a division that is only two to three thousand men short of full strength can actually

Almost wiped out? Among other things, Lieutenant General Junroku Matsuura is still lying in a coma in the hospital, not to mention the terrible fact that there are less than thirty survivors.

It is precisely because of this that Okamura Neiji pays special attention to the deployment of troops, for fear that the tragedy of Wanjialing will happen again...

"Hai!" Asaburo Kobayashi responded, and then said: "Your Excellency, Commander, if possible, let the 36th Brigade perform this mission! The commander of the 36th Brigade, Major General Mitsuru Ushijima

He is a man with great talent for war, so we can feel more at ease by letting him go."
