Teraunuchi wanted to open the Tsupi Line early in the morning, but the base camp has been hindering and is not allowed to cross the line. He can only do it secretly. After all, he needs the base camp to keep a steady stream of military supplies.

If he really acts recklessly, those conservative guys will really cut off his food and ammunition support, and he, the commander, will not be able to change it.

He didn't care about the origin of the "Feng" plan that Masaku Toushi was going to do. He just wanted to make him move south and open up the Jinpu Line, which was enough.

After hearing this, Naosaburo Okabe, the chief of staff of the North China Front Army, felt a little bitter. He gave advice to Soichi Teraunuchi. When he asked the base camp to disregard the Jinpu route, concentrate his strong superior forces to take Wuhan directly, and Nanjing fell, and the Chinese people's will to resist the war was weakest. If Wuhan was captured again, it would severely slash the Chinese people's will to resist.

It is likely that the Chinese government led by Chiang Kai-shek surrenders, and that Japan will obtain huge amounts of land, human resources and mineral resources without continuing to invest more war resources in China.

However, his proposal was rejected directly by Soichi Desouchi!

The reason is that Japan does not regard the Chinese government as an opponent, which is insignificant.

Facts proved that Soichi Tezukuchi was too wrong, but he would not admit that he was wrong. Inada Masaku's "Feng" plan hit his mind.

At present, unless Japan wants to negotiate with Wuhan, there is only one "war".

Naoda is an avid soldier, and Naosaburo Okabe can see that it is no wonder that the base camp is increasingly being controlled by these war-ambition guys.

There is also the shadow of the Central China Front Army, annihilation of the elite Chinese field army in Xuzhou. Who is talking about this? It is not the honorary first division of the Chinese army that caused Hata Shunruo to suffer a great loss. (About the title of China, it can only be used from the perspective of the Japanese army. We ourselves will not say that, and we will not say that in our hearts.)

As for the capture of Wuhan, it seems to be a bit far away at the moment.

However, judging from this plan, it is feasible. If it can be completed, the Sino-Japanese war situation will change to a considerable extent.

Naosaburo Okabe was still very optimistic, so he did not intend to oppose this plan.

"Inadai, please give me this plan. Mr. Hata Shunrok has any participation?"

"To be honest with the Lord of the Temple, the earliest text of this plan was submitted by Lord Shinroku Hata to the Operations Department." Inada Masaru said seriously.

"You Minister Hashimoto agrees with this plan?" Teraunuchi felt a little uncomfortable. Although he was optimistic about this plan, there was actually the plan of Hata Shunroku. Is his son of a dignified count, and isn't he as good as the son of a desolate samurai?

"Minister Hashimoto has very high hopes for this plan."

"Well, I understand. Let me read this plan carefully and give you a reply." Teruchi said expressionlessly.

Inada Masaru was stunned and was about to argue, but saw Naosaburo Okabe quietly giving him a look and signaling him not to speak again. He didn't understand why, but he also knew that Okabe Su was known for being resourceful. Since he didn't let him say it, there must be his reason, so he swallowed it back.

"Hay, Radai will fly to Nanjing tomorrow. I hope you can give Radai a reply before!"

"I understand, Okabe and Inada Kung are exhausted all the way, let's arrange for him to go down and rest." Teruchi Shou waved his hand, picked up the top secret plan and stood up.

"Mr. Raeda, please!"

"Okabe-kun, why didn't you let me continue?"

"Mr. Inada, don't you have a difference in the Temple of the Lord of the Temple, do you not like Lord Hata Shunrok? But this plan was proposed first by Lord Hata Shunrok."

Masaku Naida suddenly understood and felt ashamed and angry. As an imperial general, how could he put his personal likes and dislikes in front of military and national affairs?

"Kun Inada, don't be angry. The Lord of the Temple is not a person who cannot distinguish right from wrong. He just feels uncomfortable for a while. Don't worry, I will give you a clear answer before boarding the plane tomorrow." Naosaburo Okabe persuaded.

Based on his understanding of Suichi Deanuchi, even though he was a little dissatisfied with Shinji Hatao made the most of his achievements in this plan, he would agree to this plan. After all, the plan was based on the North China Front Army, and Shinji Hatao's Central China Front Army was just a cooperation.

No matter what other ideas Hata Shunruo had, the North China Front Army must be the first to occupy Xuzhou.

After hearing what Okabe Naosaburo said, Masaku Inada felt relieved. He didn't want this plan to die due to the opposition of Soichi Desouchi.

At the same time, Hata Shunrok also held a senior military meeting of the Central China Front Army in Nanjing, with at least major general-level officers attending the meeting.

"Xuzhou is a place of battles, known as the "established town in the south, the north gate is locked in the north". After our army captured Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai and Ningxia, the Chinese army occupied Xuzhou, which would allow the two major fronts in central China and North China to be separated, and they could ensure the safety of their major artery Longhai Road, block our army east of Jinpu Road, block the central China, and ensure the safety of Pinghan Road, attack Wuhan from the coast of the Yangtze River, and steep mountains along the way, which was not conducive to the movement of our mechanized troops and was time-consuming and labor-consuming. Therefore, if our army wanted to capture Wuhan in the shortest time and force China to completely give up resistance, it would be possible to occupy Xuzhou, open up the Jinpu route, cut off the Longhai Railway, and take Wuhan directly along the Pinghan Line!" Deputy Chief of Staff Muto Akira took the baton and directed on the map.

"Hiss Commander, are we going to continue to increase troops in Jiangbei?"

"Of course, how can we not have our Central China Front Army when we open the Jinpu Line?" A Japanese major general shouted. This was a brigade commander who had just been transferred from the country and was affiliated with the newly formed 106th Division.

Of course, his troops were not fully in place yet, so he only brought the brigade headquarters to get to know the situation first. The subsequent troops will take at least one week, plus two weeks of adaptive training, and it will take at least twenty days to officially operate.

"What should I do if the Honorary First Division?"

I don’t know who said this. Now, as long as the front military command mentions the four words “Honor First Division”, it is definitely the best skill in the cold.

If you open up the Jinpu Road, you will definitely not be able to avoid one hurdle, honoring the First Division.

After hearing about the first record of the Honorary First Division, any Japanese general would not believe that such a miscellaneous unit pieced together from the refugee camp actually damaged the elite 16th Division to death. The 16th Division was directly disabled. Even if it returned to the local area to rebuild, it would probably not be able to recover its combat effectiveness in a short period of time.

The three main divisions of the 3rd, 6th, and 9th also suffered heavy losses. If we included the previous battles of Songhu and Nanjing, these three divisions would actually have lost more than half.

The worst thing was the 13th Division, with a whole division, and in the end less than 2,000 people broke through alive, which was the result of using special bullets to break through.

If there were no special bombs, the number of the 13th Division would probably disappear from the Japanese Army from then on.

It can be said that the Japanese army's final losses invasion of Songhu and besieging Nanjing were not as great as those in the Honorary Division and Yasha Leng Feng. It was such a Chinese man who had caused the empire to lose more than 50,000 elite soldiers.

It's death, not casualties!

Fifty thousand elite soldiers are shocking. How much manpower and material resources are needed to train 50,000 elite soldiers, which is equivalent to the loss of two elite field divisions.

When Shinji Hata saw this statistics, he almost vomited a mouthful of blood. If he had registered at the Tokyo Base Camp, wouldn't he scare those big shots who were sitting in the office to death?

Hata Shunji's hatred for Leng Feng was hard to wash away even if he had poured out all the water in Sanjiang.

"Battle it and eat it!" As the deputy chief of staff, Akira Muto has always been involved in the battle with Leng Feng and the Honorary First Division. He is the senior Japanese officer who is most touched and knows the Honorary First Division best.

He understood that if the Central China Front Army did not defeat the Honorary Division, then these troops would have a shadow for the rest of their lives, that is, the Honorary Division.

Only by defeating these Chinese troops can they regain their confidence.

"The Great Japanese Empire will win!"

"Long live the Emperor!"

Fanatical shouts rang in the conference room. Perhaps it was through these slogans that these Japanese generals who had been defeated by the Honorary First Division regained a little confidence.

"Your Excellency Commander..."

“Is the news reliable?”

"It's very reliable, it's consistent with the information we got from Wuhan." Takeo Imai said solemnly.

Shinji Hata immediately announced the end of the meeting. He did not intend to give all the "Feng" plan to his subordinates at once. This is too important and must not let Wuhan smell a trace, otherwise all his previous efforts will be wasted.

The most serious problem is now. The "front" plan formulated by Shinji Hata can be said to be aimed at revenge, and the focus is on the Honorary First Division.

He was not interested in opening the Jinpu Line, at least he was not very interested, and occupying Xuzhou was also secondary. He did not intend to compete with Shouchi Seuchi. He had only one goal: Honorary First Division and Leng Feng.

He just wanted to destroy the Honorary Division. The Honorary Division is now the spiritual pillar of the Chinese and the most elite field army. Its combat effectiveness is not inferior to the Empire's field division.

As long as this army is destroyed, the Chinese will to resist can be destroyed. This is far more important than occupying Xuzhou, at least that is what Shinroku Hata thinks.

The continuous resistance and struggles in the occupied areas have become his most troublesome problem. These guerrillas emerging from the valleys have taken the example of "cold front" and attacked the soldiers of the empire everywhere. Public security issues have become the primary concern.

The power of role models is infinite. Only by destroying them can the resistance of these Chinese people be destroyed from the heart.

If Wuhan transfers Honorary Division 1 from the Fifth War Zone, he will not have the chance to compete with Honorary Division 1 for at least half a year, which is untolerable.

Hata Shunruo actually gave Takeo Imai a ridiculous order to keep the Honorary First Division in the Fifth War Zone.

It is also very simple to retain the Honorary First Division, just send troops to fight him. However, the Honorary First Division does not take the initiative to attack. If the Japanese attack and the number of troops is less, it will be a reward for military merit. If there are more troops sent, once it is eaten, the "front" plan will face the possibility of miscarriage.

It is inevitable that the North China Front Army will accuse them of making random things and easily disrupting the planning and deployment.

The military side is definitely not good, so we can only start from the political side. Takeo Imai went with this incomprehensible order.
Chapter completed!
