Boom" "Boom" "Boom"

Itagaki looked at the plane that threw down a series of bombs in a hazy way, and nimblely swung its wings to fly into the distance. Dozens of planes in the sky were strangling together fiercely, and Japanese planes painted in red circles were avoiding the pursuit of Chinese planes.

"Eight squares." Ban cursed fiercely in his heart. He didn't know who to scold, the Imperial Intelligence Department or the Military Department, or Soichi Teraunuchi. As the main promoter of expanding the Sino-Japanese War, Ban didn't expect that until now, China had no sign of exhaustion.

The ending of the war in three months before the war was completely proven to be a joke. The Chinese lost their capital and retreated to the inland to continue fighting, but the Japanese began to feel a little overwhelmed.

This time, the Empire concentrated troops stronger than Songhu Nanjing during the battle, but the progress of the war was even more difficult than Songhu. Some time ago, the offensive was unstoppable and soon occupied a large area of ​​land. But Ban knew that the Zhong** team did not resist seriously, and the Emperor** team rushed thousands of miles, but did not annihilate many Zhong** teams.

Only after entering the mountainous area did the resistance of the Zhongzhang team gradually increase, and this resistance reached the highest level under the city. Now he had to retreat from Lin in a mess.

"Order Nakajima to speed up the retreat speed, and inform the generals of the Temple, asking the Air Force to strengthen cover, and remind him that it is very undesirable for the Isogaki Division to attack Xuzhou alone." Itagaki knew very well how much losses the retreating troops would suffer after losing air cover. Once he was about to retreat, Isogaki would definitely become an isolated army. If he still insisted on attacking Xuzhou, the Chinese would never let him go.

After the board issued the order, he looked at Baishabu's eyes full of worries. The two brigades commanded by Akihara were besieged by nearly ten times the Zhong** team, and suffered heavy losses. If Miura hadn't led his troops to arrive in time, Baishabu would have been taken away by Zhong** team.

Although Miura led his troops to Baibu, after several wars, the troops were extremely tired. The soldiers were only inspired by the spirit of devoting themselves to the empire to barely defend Baisha. If Nakajima cannot retreat Baisha in time, the entire division will be surrounded west of Baisha when the 59th Army and the New 22nd Division arrive.

The huge change under Lincheng shocked Nei Shouyi. The De County Command became silent in an instant. In the face of the temple, Hoshi's face turned red, and the veins on the forehead were trembling.

"You guys, now is the moment to get a good reputation in the country. The glory of the imperial army is to take action immediately and make suggestions to save the situation of the war." Sora Tanuchi woke up the officers who were somewhat dull.

But no one dared to say more about Okabe Naosaburo thought about it. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The Nakajima plan was probably the best response. The Nakajima plan had been rejected in public. Now let's put it up again... The Chief of Staff faced him.

"It seems you don't know what to do." Teruchi Suo waited for a while but no one answered. Then he sneered and said, "Come on. Order Nakajima Nakasa to come to the command center immediately."

The officers such as Naosaburo Okabe had a layer of shame on their faces. The order of Sora Seiji Temple had already shown a clear sign of disappointment with them. It also stated that everyone in the mainland, including the mainland, was wrong in the judgment of the local development of the battle. And a small Tianzakata encountered the situation of the battle.

Nakajima soon came to the combat room. Soichi Tekanuchi looked at him and nodded slightly: "Young man. The situation of the war is indeed as you expected. General Itagaki has now retreated from Lin. The Chinese army is pursuing him. To be precise, the imperial army was frustrated under Lin. Since you can accurately foresee the situation of the war, then tell me what actions will the Chinese army take next?"

Hearing that the situation of the war was developing as he expected, there was no smile on Nakajima's face. On the contrary, a layer of worry appeared on his face. He looked at the map and said calmly: "Your Highness, Huye suggested that General Isogaki immediately stop attacking Teng County and retreat to Yanzhou. It is not possible that Tai'an would be better. Relying on Taishan to block the pursuit of the Chinese army. General Itagaki immediately retreated to: Prefecture to protect the Jiaodong Peninsula. In addition, order the 14th Division and the 21st Division to reinforce Jinan immediately. It is best to ask the military headquarters to order two divisions from Manchuria or the country to the battlefield of Jinpu Road."

Nakajima's words shocked the senior officers present again. As soon as he finished speaking, Naosaburo Okabe couldn't help but say: "I have no objection to reinforce, but I actually need to increase troops from the country. This is too cautious, Nakajima Nakasa."

"It's not to be cautious, yourselves," Naosaburo Naokabe bowed slightly and replied respectfully: "The counterattack of the Chinese army is enough to disintegrate the 14th Division and the 21st Division, which can completely defeat the Chinese army on the Tinpu Road. I think it is necessary to add another division, and the two divisions can only tie the Chinese army."

Teraunuchi looked at Nakajima with great care. If he only mobilized the 14th Division and the 21st Division, he could immediately order, but he would have to mobilize troops from the country, which made him very reluctant. It would mean that he would be able to mobilize troops from the country.

The front army is no longer able to complete the task of opening up the Jinpu Line and needs to go from home

The temple was walking slightly in the room. At this moment, no one else dared to speak except Naosaburo Okabe. When they besieged Nakajima, they handed over their voice today, including the combat section chief Jingya. He opened his mouth but did not speak in the end.

"The commander, it will take at least half a month to transfer troops from the country, and it may be too late." Okabe Naosaburo knew the thoughts of the Temple: "And the 14th Division is confronting the First China War Zone. Once they are drawn, what are the defenses for the Chinese army in the First China War Zone?"

"The Chinese army in the First War Zone will not do anything." Before Shou Tanuchi spoke, Nakajima replied directly: "The remaining troops in the First War Zone are the 29th Army. Most of his combat-capable troops are transferred to the Fifth War Zone, including the 59th Army of the former 29th Army. Moreover, his commander Cheng Qian is an old soldier and will not provoke the Imperial Army on its own initiative. I have confidence in this."

"But it's just your judgment." Naosaburo Okabe shook his head and tactfully opposed it instead of scolding it. This is also the best commendation of Nakajima's extraordinary foresight ability.

"The war is, I am 70% sure." Nakajima's expression was very plain, and then he turned to Teraunuchi and said, "Your Excellency, the most important thing now is to let General Isotani Ryosuke retreat from Teng Prefecture and can no longer continue to advance."

Teraunuchi nodded and said to Jingya: "Tele to Lieutenant General Isotani Ryosuke that General Itagaki was defeated in Lin's battle. The 10th Division should not go deep alone. Stop attacking Lin immediately and retreat to Yanzhou immediately."

He hesitated for a while, looked at Naosaburo Okabe, squinted his eyes and stared at the map, and then slowly said: "I ordered the 14th Division and the 21st Division to transport Jinan immediately." Chen Ning added for a moment, "I ordered the Yamashita Brigade to be transferred to Jinan."

The brigade at the foot of the mountain is a mixed brigade. The entire brigade has two corpses under its jurisdiction, with a total of more than 10,000 people. However, the order in the temple still has great variables. Fortunately, the 14th Division is gathered on the Neihuang line in Tangyin, Henan, to attract troops from the First War Zone, and the troops are basically neat. However, the 21st Division is scattered in the vast areas from Zhangjiakou to Rehe. It takes three or four days to assemble. Then it is transported south to Beiping. The entire division has more than 20,000 people, plus weapons and equipment, it will take at least ten days to transport it to Jinan. When they arrive at the battlefield, it will take at least half a month later.

"Young man, it is necessary to defeat the China in front of you. If you don't need to increase your troops by one hundred thousand, 50,000 people are enough." Templeui looked at Nakajima with gentle eyes, but the latter had no expression and a cold look. He didn't know what he was thinking.

"Report, General Isogaya Ren," a staff officer came in to report quickly: "He has captured Teng County, the Chinese army retreated to Xuzhou, and General Isogaya asked him to continue attacking Xuzhou."

"Absolutely not, Your Excellency," Nakajima Hokkiya shouted to Shouchi of Teraunuchi: "General Isotano is going deep into the army alone, and the city of Xuzhou is a trap."

This time, the temple did not hesitate to Nakajima: "Died to Lieutenant General Isogaya immediately withdrew from Teng County and retreated to Yanzhou, telling him that this is an order and must be implemented."

"Reported, General Linban called, and General Nakajima led the 5,000 rear guard troops were surrounded by tens of thousands of Chinese troops in Mahezhuang and Wanhualou, west of Baisha. General Itagaki asked for tactical guidance."

The news was like a bolt from the blue sounding in the combat room. Nakajima Atsugo was surrounded and could not escape. Since Ban asked for help, it means he was powerless to rescue him.

The expression in the temple changed drastically. He looked at the map and his heart was full of bitterness. In order to open up the Jinpu Road as soon as possible, the Imperial Team rushed forward all the way, and many places that should be captured did not free up their troops to occupy. The Jiaoji Line and the Jinpu Line only occupied the areas along the railway line, and the areas slightly far away from the railway line were not occupied. Now the consequences of the rush forward have emerged. The rear is extremely empty. The guerrillas formed by the Chinese are unprecedentedly active in the rear. In the vast Jiaodong, the Japanese army only occupied the Jiaoji Railway, and the villages and counties on both sides were not occupied. These places were either occupied by the Kuomintang or by the newly emerging ones. They formed guerrillas in these places and frequently attacked the railway line.

The temple was extremely angry. He didn't expect that in just a few days, the situation of the battle worsened to this point. Banzei Shiro was really famous. "Ba!" The tea cup was thrown into the corner of the temple and fell into crispy pieces.

"Your Excellency, there is a way to save the battle situation." Naosaburo Okabe said. At this moment, he had no choice but to pay attention to it and reiterated Nakajima's previous suggestions: "Immediately order General Isotani to lead the 10th Division and the 109th Division to advance eastward, join the battlefield, break the siege of Nakajima, and defeat the main force of the Chinese army.
