After hearing the news, Okamura Neji's tense nerves relaxed slightly. He laughed at himself: "Is my pursuit too high?"
"No, your commander's pursuit is not excessive at all. After all, the ultimate goal of our China Expedition Force is to capture the entire territory of China!" the lieutenant colonel retorted. After all, in his opinion, Lieutenant General Okamura Neiji is in his heart. His position is like a god-like existence. Now that this "god" wants to deny his actions, how can the Lieutenant Colonel accept it?
"Yoshi, Ochai-kun, what you said makes sense. Indeed, our goal is to capture the entire territory of China. We have only captured half of the country now, and there is indeed something missing." Lieutenant General Okamura Neiji said in a deep voice. , "Since the base camp ordered us not to go beyond the war stop line, let's wait! Inform Chief of Staff Asaburo Kobayashi immediately!"
"Hai!!" Xiao Chai said in full voice.
Watching Lieutenant Colonel Oshiba's leaving back, Lieutenant General Okamura Neiji fell into deep thought. He was thinking about a question-when can he cross the war stop line and launch the next round of Changsha offensive?
Yes, although the Japanese base camp has given him a suitable reason, Lieutenant General Okamura Neiji's goal is not just that. In his view, he must lead the Eleventh Army to complete the invasion of Central China. Chiang Kai-shek's government must be completely forced into a local government before his initial plan can be completed.
Yes, even in the preliminary plan, Okamura Neji's appetite was not that small. If his appetite was really that small, he would not be the commander-in-chief of the Japanese army that invaded China later.
Compared with the fifth theater troops in Hubei and Henan, Okamura Neiji's strategic focus is more biased towards Changsha. After all, the prosperous Hunan is much better than the barren northwestern Hubei, especially Hunan's food and abundant supplies. Coupled with their unique location, they can invade Guizhou as quickly as possible, and then pass through Guizhou directly to Chongqing.
Thinking that a huge country was about to perish in his own hands, Neji Okamura's breathing became a little rapid: Indeed, this idea is very tempting, he wants to establish unparalleled achievements! He wants his name Okamura Neji to appear in future Japanese history books as a great figure!
After a while, Major General Asaburo Kobayashi appeared in front of Okamura Neji.
"Your Excellency, Commander, are you looking for a job?" Asaburo Kobayashi stood at attention and lowered his head to Okamura Neji. For him, he was absolutely loyal to the latter.
Sometimes, personality charm is hard to explain. Just like some people seem to be born with the temperament and aura of a leader, while ordinary people like us are other people's wage earners. Aura, cough cough cough... I've gone too far.
Okay, let’s get back to the main story.
That's right, in Kobayashi Asaburo's opinion, Lieutenant General Okamura Neiji has this kind of leader's temperament, so he is loyal to Okamura Neiji and is willing to follow Lieutenant General Okamura Neiji.
"Yes, it is indeed me who is looking for you." Lieutenant General Okamura Neiji nodded, "Just now, our base camp issued a combat order to our Eleventh Army not to cross the war stop line. But I know, This order is temporary, and we must prepare for the next stage of combat, which is why I brought you here."
Okamura Neji and Kobayashi Asaburo are also old comrades-in-arms, so there is no need to beat around the bush when there are many things they want to say directly.
"Hai, as long as His Majesty the General gives the order, Kobayashi will go through fire and water without hesitation!" Asaburo Kobayashi promised, as if he was issuing a military order.
"Yoshi, it's good that you have this consciousness. Regarding this battle plan, you must personally grasp it, so that I can rest assured!" Okamura Neji patted Kobayashi Asaburo's shoulder and said, the trust in him was obvious. On the table.
"Thank you, General, for your trust. I will definitely complete it as soon as possible!" Kobayashi Asaburo still looked like he was issuing a military order. "By the way, may I ask, Commander, is our combat direction still Hunan Province?!"
"Yo Xi, our operational direction remains unchanged, it must be Hunan Province, but the troops in the fifth theater of the China Army in northwest Hubei Province and southwest Henan cannot be spared. Although the main target of the Second Army's troops is them, but We can't give up any possibility!" Okamura Neiji said solemnly, his tone was not serious. After all, who would have too little credit for something like this?
"Hai!!" Kobayashi Asaburo assured again.
…
In the next two days, Zhang Tianhai lived a very comfortable life. Although his main purpose was to see the situation in Changsha, it was undeniable that he was very popular and very cool these days.
While enjoying the food and drink, he also found that the atmosphere in Changsha seemed to be getting more and more tense.
Why do you find yourself getting more and more nervous? The reason is that troops are mobilized more frequently in Changsha, and military trucks carrying oil tanks come and go more frequently.
Zhang Tianhai also believes that Changsha has become a large oil depot at this time. As long as there is a spark, the place can explode. This is no joke.
Looking at this, Zhang Tianhai was in a dull mood, but he had nothing to do, because this was a national act and an act of war, and it was not something he could personally stop.
Zhang Tianhai could only nip it in the bud, but he couldn't prevent it from happening - this was his personal limitation, and he couldn't prevent it from happening.
"I hope Zhang Zhizhong can listen to what I said to him!" Zhang Tianhai sighed. He also visited the hospital and other places. Unless troops are mobilized into the city, it will be difficult to rescue these people.
However, if the troops are mobilized to enter the city, it is also an extremely dangerous thing for the troops - because fires hurt people, it is not the fire that kills people, but the smoke.
In such a fire, what should he do if his troops were swept in by the thick smoke and no one survived?
His unit is the most elite unit in the Ninth War Zone, and it is also the "number one regiment in the world" within the national army. If such a unit was not lost on the frontline battlefield, but was lost in the Wenxi Fire in Changsha, he should How to explain to these officers and soldiers?
But if he knew about this situation and didn't say anything, he would definitely be dishonoring his duty as a soldier.
Therefore, Zhang Tianhai decided to do something that ordinary people can't understand at all!
…
