Chapter 778
August 23, 1939, at 10:00 pm.
Wuhan.
The 11th Japanese Army Command.
"Your Excellency Commander, this is the latest situation from all departments of our army. Please check it out!"
A Japanese chief officer respectfully presented a thick stack of documents to Okamura Yasuji, who was sitting behind the desk, and then the person came back.
There were only two people left in the huge office. One was Okamura Yasuji, the commander of the 11th Army of the Japanese Army, and the other was Okamura Yasuji, the adjutant of Okamura Yasuji, the Japanese Grand Secretary Fukaro Ozawa.
After only a dozen minutes, Okamura Yasuji roughly browsed the thick stack of documents, and a look of joy immediately appeared on his face.
"Commander, it seems that our army's preparations are going well. This battle will definitely completely damage the elite troops of the Chinese army." Adjutant Ozawa Fuka exclaimed.
"Hahaha!"
Upon hearing this, even Okamura Yasuji, who has always been cunning, could not hide his joy, "Yaxi, Ozawa, you are right. Judging from the information we have obtained, the Chinese military has not yet begun a new round of deployment.
And our country's 11th Army is rapidly deploying, and the logistics support work of various departments of our army and the training of soldiers are being carried out in an orderly and quickly.
On the other hand, the enemy was not prepared enough, but our army was fully prepared. By comparing the two, the high and low judgments were made. In this way, how could our army be invincible!”
Okamura Yasuji's every move was full of domineeringness.
With the combat effectiveness of the 11th Japanese Army, coupled with sufficient logistical support, and careful planning, all of this combined make Okamura Yanji full of confidence in this battle.
"All this is the credit of the Commander!"
Adjutant Ozawa Jun was also very happy.
Suddenly, after Okamura Yasuji saw a message on his desk, his face, which was originally full of joy, became gloomy again.
Adjutant Ozawa Jun was very curious and glanced at the telegram.
——The Eighth Route Army Dragon Head Detachment.
Adjutant Fuka Ozawa frowned and said, "Commander, why bother with this mere Eighth Route Army?"
At this moment, the Japanese adjutant was really puzzled. Even facing a group of party-state troops, Okamura Yasuji had never been so cautious, but why did the Eighth Route Army teams with only a few thousand people be treated so cautiously?
"madness!"
Okamura Yasuji scolded: "What do you know? At first I thought that the National Army and the Eighth Route Army belonged to two parties. After all, the Eighth Route Army entered Hunan, it would definitely be excluded on a large scale and there might even be conflicts.
But now the captain of the Eighth Route Army Dragon Head Detachment actually has a close relationship with Xue Yue, the commander-in-chief of the 9th War Zone of the National Army."
"what does that mean?
"This means that our army wants to mess up the plan of this pool of water. Before the start, it will go bankrupt completely!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a hint of regret appeared on the face of the Japanese adjutant, but he really looked down on the Eighth Route Army.
In his understanding, the biggest enemy that blocked their so-called holy war was always the direct unit of the Central Army led by Chairman Jiang.
As for the Eighth Route Army under our party's leadership, in the eyes of many of them, they were just a group of mobs who could only make small fuss and attack like mice.
"hehe!"
Japanese adjutant Fuka Ozawa blurted out directly: "Commander, although the Eighth Route Army and the Central Army of the National Army did not have a conflict as we expected, this itself does not affect our battle plan. Moreover, the Eighth Route Army has only a few thousand people, and we can wipe them out at any time."
"snort!"
Okamura Niji snorted coldly: "Your analysis cannot be said to be wrong, but I always have a bad premonition. This Eighth Route Army team with only a few thousand people is likely to cause huge harm to our overall plan!"
Hearing this, the adjutant was shocked.
"No way?"
"How is this possible?"
"We can destroy an Eighth Route Army with only a few thousand people!"
"How could they cause great harm to our plans?"
Japanese adjutant Fuka Ozawa was full of disbelief.
At this moment, Okamura Yasuji did not answer him, but closed his eyes tightly, and his mind was filled with thoughts.
Is the Eighth Route Army really not worth worrying about?
Surely not!
The Eighth Route Army not only did not perish in just two years, but developed and strengthened into a military armed force with hundreds of thousands of people in repeated battles, effectively restraining the Japanese army's military strength in North China.
Can this still be said that they are a mob?
Especially what worries him the most was the leading detachment led by Ouyang.
Not to mention the previous two major battles between the Wuchang defense battle and the Guangzhou defense battle, just talking about the recent series of battles in North China, the leading detachment led by Ouyang has been in full swing.
The Battle of Tai'an shattered the Japanese army's sweeping plan in Shandong in one fell swoop;
The Battle of Handan almost wiped out the 110th Division of the Japanese Army, and completely made the entire Japanese army in North China rectify its public security plan and all went bankrupt.
In this series of events, the Leading Detachment has always played an important role, or the most important role.
After a long time, Okamura Yasuji opened his eyes and said coldly: "I hope I'm overthinking all this."

~~~~~~~~
In northern Hunan, the area south of Xinyun River.
Leading team.
After receiving the message from Ouyang, a group of commanders and soldiers immediately gathered together to discuss the offensive plan.
Jiang Daya, the leader of the 886th Regiment, Chen Feng, the deputy leader, and Zhang Pujing, the political commissar;
Yang Liqing, the commander of the temporary regiment, Hao Mengling, the commander of the first battalion, and Tong Linge, the commander of the second battalion;
The commander of the cavalry regiment Baike Qingshan, the deputy commander Long Fei, the commander of the first battalion Sun Desheng, and the commander of the second battalion Zhang Mazi;
Yang Zhihua, commander of the Artillery Corps;
Xiaozhuang, captain of the Delta Assault Brigade, Shi Dafan, captain of the first squadron, and Deng Zhenhua, captain of the second squadron;
He Chenguang, deputy captain of the Wolf Fang Special Forces Brigade, instructor Tang Xinyi and more than 20 people attended the meeting.
"Everyone, the commander's order has been issued, so even if there is a sea of swords and fire in front of us, we will never frown!"
As the highest military commander and fighter in Ouyang's absence, Jiang Daya immediately issued a series of orders.
"Our opponent in this battle is the 6th Japanese Division, known as the Japanese ace!"
"The division was established in 1888. Before Japan's full-scale invasion of China, the division entered China's land as many as 5 times. Among them, the division was the first Japanese army to invade Weihaiwei, the Beiyang Navy Base in China."
"In the next decade, the division slaughtered our parents and comrades many times, with the number of people being no less than 50,000."
"At the same time, the most outrageous thing is that the division is also one of the culprits of the Nanjing Massacre."
"This division was not only the first to enter our Nanjing city, but also the first to kill our Nanjing compatriots! Only at Xiaguan Wharf, the Chinese military and civilians who were killed by the division were piled up like mountains of corpses, 2,000 meters long and 50 meters wide, and the blood directly dyed the Yangtze River red."
Jiang Daya said coldly: "Such bloody hatred is really necessary to settle the new and old accounts together. I will pass on my orders. From now on, all the commanders and soldiers of our army must keep their guns away and keep their clothes away. When the order arrives, our army will immediately open up firepower!"
"yes!"
Everyone present shouted with red eyes.
Either don’t fight, and if you want to fight, hit the strongest one!
Our army's military commander pointed directly - the 6th Japanese Division!
Chapter completed!
