"Teacher Commander, we are not the 10th Division!"

"Yes, we are not the 10th Division."

"Do you all think this is the right choice?" Kenji Doihara swept his officers and asked in a deep voice.

"You guys, intelligence shows that the Chinese army is retreating from the Xuzhou area in a planned manner. It is only a matter of time before we occupy Xuzhou. At this time, it is no longer important to go south to the Longhai Line and capture Guide. Even if we occupy Guide, we cannot stop the retreat of the Chinese army. The base camp formulated this strategy of going south to surround and eliminate the elite Chinese army in the Xuzhou area. But now this idea is obviously no longer possible. We still fight with this idea. Not only will we drag ourselves into danger, but it will also have no effect at all. The emperor is not afraid of death, but it is not sacrificed like this." Chief of Staff Tadaoyi of Sano stood up and explained.

"I, Kenji Dohihara, are not afraid of death, but just for the empire and His Majesty the Emperor, I want to die as much as possible. Although we are in a siege, we have a chance to turn defeat into victory. Please see the map behind me!" Kenji Dohihara stood up. Because of his physical weakness, he was not standing steadily. The adjutant went forward to support him, but he pushed him away.

At this time, he was unwilling to let his subordinates think that Kenji Doihara was a weak person.

Kenji Doihara walked over and drew a line west on the map with his hands, and finally landed on the position in Zhengzhou.

At this time, everyone who looked up and saw Kenji Doihara's actions lit up their eyes, and even Hiro Maeda, who was dissatisfied with Kenji Doihara, could not help but tremble his hands.

Occupy Zhengzhou, head south to Pinghan Line, and directly attack Wuhan...

If you go south to Longhai Line, occupy Guide, and go to him, if you can occupy Zhengzhou, it will be equivalent to occupying an attack bridgehead on the south bank of the Yellow River. Even if they are besieged at that time, the empire will do its best to rescue them.

The battle of occupying Zhengzhou can completely reverse the current unfavorable situation of the 14th Division.

"Your Excellency Commander, I take back what I said to you just now. You are so wise!" Maeda Hiro stood up and bowed solemnly to Kenji Doihara.

"Maeda, be polite." Kenji Doihara nodded and smiled faintly.

The pessimistic emotions were swept away, and the generals of the 14th Division were impressed by the idea of ​​the genius of the commander of the Doihara Division. This was a genius idea, a war of a sky-high war, let the strategy of "north-south to advance" to the point of meeting Xuzhou.
