In front of Emperor Showa, there was an analysis report on the current combat strength of the independent division. After reading this report, Emperor Showa felt a little angry. Such a person who had defeated their Empire of Japan many times was still developing continuously.
, Moreover, the strength has become so strong that the air force and navy have preliminary scale, not to mention the infantry.
"So, what is the cabinet's strategy?" Emperor Showa looked at Hiranuma Kiichiro in front of him and said coldly.
"Currently, there are two opinions on the strategy against Zhou Weiguo. One is to concentrate the superior forces of the Japanese Empire to completely defeat Zhou Weiguo. However, in doing so, the Japanese Empire will suffer great losses; the other is to temporarily
To abandon the Chinese battlefield, we only need to integrate and apply the existing occupied land, population, resources, etc. to steadily develop the comprehensive strength of the empire. That is, temporarily avoid Zhou Weiguo, because our investment and output in the China battlefield,
The proportion can no longer satisfy us. Instead of going to the China battlefield with huge losses, it is better to temporarily preserve our strength and open up new places. However, there is a disadvantage in doing so, that is, it will allow Zhou Weiguo's army to grow bigger, and it will be needed again in the future.
I'm afraid it will be more difficult to fight them." Hiranuma Kiichiro said.
The Emperor frowned. Plan 1 was something he really didn't want to see. Speaking of which, the Laiyang area did not have any mineral resources that were worthy of their massive military deployment. Moreover, the losses were too great. Today's empire could no longer afford to do too much.
Okay. Option 2 was probably Takeshita Jun's idea. The emperor thought that although Zhou Weiguo would be allowed to grow bigger, it would still be beneficial to the current development of the empire.
"Let's choose option two for the time being. The empire cannot make too much trouble now." Emperor Showa sighed, "If possible, I would also like to send Zhou Weiguo's troops..."
"Eh." Hiranuma Kiichiro sighed, because he also discovered this fact. If we really want to completely wipe out Zhou Weiguo's independent division, the price to pay may be really huge. Avoiding the edge temporarily is a good idea for the present.
It's a good choice, but in the future, it may cause huge hidden dangers. However, the empire really can't withstand the torment now. The big deal is, "Hey."
"Go." Emperor Showa also felt a little tired. He was originally invincible on the Chinese battlefield, but since the battle for Wuhan, the empire has been somewhat unable to do what it wants. "However, Zhou Weiguo's violation of the agreement cannot be let go."
"Hi!"
On July 14, 1939, Germany sent a report condemning the Chinese Zhou Weiguo troops for breaking the agreement and ignoring peace. The Chinese government should punish them. Otherwise, if all countries did the same, there would be no need to sign a contract.
On the same day, Italy also sent a report in support of Japan.
…
laiyang
Zhou Weiguo looked at the telegram and just smiled. This kind of thing doesn't mean much to him at all, unless Chiang Kai-shek cuts his job. But he also knows very well that Chiang Kai-shek will not cut his job.
, after all, the external pressure has not yet gone away at this time.
"Germany and Italy are supporting Japan." Liu Yuan smiled, "Want to put pressure on the Chairman and demote you?"
"I guess I have this intention, but I should also know that it is of no use." Zhou Weiguo said with a smile, "On the contrary, Xiaogan's side is still fighting in full swing. Okamura Neji really wants to give us some color."
"Yes, the devils have nothing to do if they don't fight at this time, right? After all, the dignity of the country still needs to be respected, otherwise, you will trample on it."
"Hey, I didn't do it on purpose." Zhou Weiguo smiled, "I just did it to divert attention."
"I know." Liu Yuan looked at Zhou Weiguo, "Thank you for your hard work."
"What's the reason for my hard work? I didn't go to the battlefield, and I didn't fight my best." Zhou Weiguo shook his head, "The most hard-working people should be the soldiers. Speaking of which, our division's military merits have been accumulated for a long time."
"That's right. But without establishment, you can't promote the ranks of the people below you."
"Master! The Japanese have been attacking for two consecutive days." A colonel said to a lieutenant general of the Chinese army.
"I know." The lieutenant general of the national army nodded, "Brothers are also working hard, but this time, we have to tell the people and tell the chairman that even without the independent division, we can still fight the Japanese! It is not without their independent division.
We have to eat pork with hair on it!”
"yes!"
Suddenly, a cannonball fell on the top of the city.
"boom!"
"Let the artillery brothers fight back!" said the Lieutenant General.
"yes!"
If Zhou Weiguo had been at the scene, he would have laughed. The troops in the fifth theater were all supported by him before, with large-caliber artillery and artillery shells. Now, some people with understanding can see Chiang Kai-shek's order.
Zhou Weiguo had fallen out of favor, and he was anxious to show off in front of Chiang Kai-shek.
…
"Commander, the Japanese and the National Army have been fighting for two days, and the National Army has suffered heavy losses." A New Fourth Army soldier lay on the ground and said to Li Xiannian.
"Well, I know all this." Li Xiannian nodded, "Go and check out the situation behind the Japs. Then we will look for opportunities to see if we can attack the Japs."
"yes!"
Half an hour later, the soldier ran back and said, "Commander, I have found out clearly that the Japanese have two divisions besieging Xiaogan. Although it is a siege, most of them are attacking on this side."
Li Xiannian nodded and calculated. Xiaogan is only about 80 kilometers away from Wuhan, which is about 160 miles. According to the devil's drive, it normally takes 2 hours, but if it is really urgent, this time will be greatly increased.
However, under such circumstances, it is impossible for his thousands of troops to attack two Japanese divisions when encircling the point for reinforcements. Then the rest can only be sabotaged by the Japanese.
"First captain, second captain!"
"commander!"
"Commander of the First Regiment, you and the First Regiment will join me here to attack the Japs for a while. The Second Regiment will go around from behind and attack from the other side of the Japs." Li Xiannian said, "Both sides will cooperate. If the Japs' soldiers don't come out,
If there are more, then we will continue to fight. If a large Japanese army comes to chase us, then we will withdraw. After withdrawing from the range, we will slowly come back and continue to fight."
"Commander, what's this strategy?"
"That's right, we are just playing with the Japs. In such a mountainous area, the Japs will definitely not be able to outrun us, and the terrain is not as familiar to us. After all, guerrilla warfare is our strength!" Li Xiannian said, "When fighting, we must pay attention and fight hard.
But don’t fight, cherish the lives of the soldiers.”
