Deeply mourn the dead compatriots in Yushu... Postponed to the early morning. The General Command of the Chinese Expeditionary Army also prepared a combat plan, and the attack on Wuhan was divided into three routes. The newly formed 11th Army in Jiangnan attacked along the south bank of the Yangtze River, occupying Tongling Anqing as the starting point for the battle, and then attacking the Nanxun Line with one part, and the main force continued to attack along the south bank of the Yangtze River with the support of the navy; the Jiangbei region was divided into two routes, and the first army was borne by the first army, launching an attack in northern Henan, first attacking Zhengzhou, then attacking Xinyang along the Pinghan Line, and then detouring the back of Wuhan; the Second Army first attacked along the north bank of the Yangtze River, defeating the China Army on the north bank of the Yangtze River, and then driving it to the Dabie Mountains, and then heading north. Encircling and annihilation of the main force of the Fifth War Zone South; after annihilation of the main force of the China Army in the fifth war zone, then turning around and attacking Wuhan from the north.

Compared with the two Jinpu Road battles, this plan is much lower-key, just to encircle and annihilate the Forty-Nine Army south of Zaoyang. The south bank of the Yangtze River mainly focuses on defeating battles, and the previous arrogance is simply a huge difference compared to the past.

For this battle, the Chinese dispatched troops dispatched 50 divisions, nearly 700,000 troops. Manchuria was once again aired, and 20 new divisions were formed in China, and four brigades were formed in Taiwan and North Korea, all of which were transferred to China. The old troops stationed in Shanxi and Jiangnan were all transferred to the front line, and the defense areas left were transferred to the new troops transferred from the country to defend.

The combat plan proposed by Nanjing made Nishio Shoujo very dissatisfied with it. This plan completely ignored the increasing threats of the Eighth Route Army in various parts of North China, and transferred all the garrisons familiar with the local situation, and replaced them with new troops with no combat experience. The public security situation will definitely deteriorate completely.

The combat meeting will be held tomorrow and the combat plan will be decided. Today, in order to cooperate with the peace operations of Deputy Chief of Staff Takeo Imai and Takasaki Takasaki, Tada made an exception and led the senior generals who came to attend the meeting to visit the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum. At the same time, he exchanged views with Nishio Shozuo privately to win his approval of the plan. He already felt that Nishio Shozuo would oppose the Nanjing plan.

Tada Jung and Nishio Suzuo walked slowly in front, and the officers behind also scattered and talked around the memorial hall in groups of three or three. Many officers who had not met for a long time took advantage of this time to reminisce about the past, and that was the case with Ligao Support and Nishiji Toshimura.

"Litao Junxiao, long time no see." Nishiji Utsumura had a very good memory. He didn't spend long time with Ligao Support, but he remembered Ligao Support.

Ligao's support was a little surprised. He said with some gratitude: "It has been seven years since Manchuria left, but I didn't expect that the general of the Net Village still remembers me."

"How could a young man like you forget?" Nishiji Yunmura smiled on his thin face, revealing some browned teeth: "I heard that you have performed in the past few years, but unfortunately General Kuroyama did not follow your advice, otherwise Yucheng's defeat could have been completely avoided."

The defeat of Yucheng was a pain in the heart of the Japanese army. The good situation was ruined in one fell swoop. After the war, the North China Front Army almost had responsibility from top to bottom, but there was no high support. On the contrary, the investigation team sent by the military headquarters had a high evaluation of the high support, believing that if he fought according to his suggestions, not only would the failure of Yucheng be avoided, but the setbacks on the south bank of the Yellow River will also be avoided. Compared with him, Chang Jiang Teng, the combat department, could only comment with stupidity. Every suggestion of his suggestion led to the disaster of the Imperial Army and was unshirkable for the losses on the south bank of the Yellow River and Yucheng. It is recommended to transfer him away.

In the end, the unlucky Eto became the scapegoat for Kyuyama and Naosaburo Shinbu, and was almost sent to the military court and was demoted to North Korea. The conclusion of the investigation team became an important basis for establishing Gao to support the promotion.

Nishi Toshimura has been silently paying attention to the evolution of the Chinese battlefield. He has read the report of the investigation team and felt that the name Ligao Support is very familiar. After thinking about it carefully, he remembered it. He was impressed by the opposing Gao Support at the beginning, and now he appreciates it even more. Therefore, he comes to reminisce about the old days when he has the opportunity.

"The general is too good to be a little bit." Li Gao Support's eyes flashed with a hint of "sadness" and said solemnly: "The defeat in Yucheng is not a shame for someone, but a shame for all of us. As a member of the combat class, I have failed to change the situation of the war. I also have an unshirkable responsibility, so I think it is inappropriate to let me be the head of the combat class."

Gangcun shook his head and said gently: "You are too blaming yourself. Of course, you are a little unfair to Eto-kun. Forget it, all these are over. What do you think about fighting in Wuhan?"

This is what Nishiji of the Utsumiyagi really wanted to ask. Ligao Support thought about it and asked: "Does the general understand the situation of Mengwu in North China?"

The net village showed a thoughtful look: "Although I have arrived in China for a short time, I still understand the situation. It is said that the Eighth Route Army made a fierce fight in North China. However, the details are not clear. Please let Gao Junjie follow me.

Li Gao said with a thought, "General, I have seen the combat plan of the General Command. The biggest flaw of this plan is probably insufficient to pose a threat to the Eighth Route Army in North China. Now, the entire North China has only a large part of the area we actually occupy, only points and lines, and the lines are only along the railway line. The Yizhong Plain, known as the granary of North China, is all under the control of the Eighth Route Army. Patrols with less than 20 people dare not leave the north. Ten kilometers, the security situation is bad, and it is hard to describe. Zhang's family

The second time the Guardian Army "dangjun was defeated. The general of the Net Army transferred General Abe Questhik, hoping that he could turn the situation around, but I think the hope was slim, because this was not a problem of tactics, but a problem of insufficient troops in the defenders. The current situation in North China is that the front line is overcrowded, and an average soldier in the rear has to take care of two square kilometers. Taihang 1 runs across the entire North China. The Eighth Route Army sets her nest in the mountains and frequently attacks the plains. The Imperial Army's food and cloth are seriously insufficient, which is related to this."

Okamura Yasuji was secretly shocked. He had never expected that the situation in North China would deteriorate so much. It was a guerrilla area thirty miles outside of Peking City. This was so shocking.

"Now the domestic supply is getting smaller and smaller. The military headquarters requires us to use war to support war, but the granary in North China is in the hands of the Eighth Route Army. How can we carry out the use war to support war?" Ligao Support sighed, and seemed very angry: "The failures of several battles were all because we were eager to achieve success. Why did we forget the teachings we bought with blood? I heard that the situation in China is not good, but the more we do this, the more we cannot be too hasty."

Okamura sighed softly and thought slowly, saying: "But as long as Wuhan is conquered, there may be changes within China. Chiang Kai-shek is likely to step down and the new leader can sign a peace agreement with us."

Ligao support was secretly shocked. Is there really someone in China who wants to surrender? It is impossible. Mr. will not allow it. With his influence in the three southwestern provinces, can't control it? This is not possible. Mr. must notify him.

"General, is this news true?" Ligao Support asked with a frown.

Okamura Yasuji's jaw lifted slightly, and Takeo Imai and Josaki Kagesaki were talking in detail: "They are doing this work. It is said that the negotiators of the Chinese government have arrived in Shanghai.

.

"Have the negotiations been concluded?" Ligao Support asked casually.

"I don't know, but it seems they are very sure." Okamura Nishi looked at Takeo Imai and Josaki Kagesaki not far away. The expressions of these two people looked very relaxed, but I don't know if they were really so relaxed.

After a while, the voice of Ligao's support came to his ears: "To use a Chinese saying, I'm afraid I'll be empty-handed, and then I'll be empty-handed."

Okamura Yasuji turned his head and realized that Ligao support had taken a step quietly and stood in parallel with him, which was rare among the Japanese army with strict hierarchy. But Nakamura still didn't care, but on the contrary, he admired the other party's courage to break the conventional habits.

"Why?"

Li Gao hesitated and said: "Since the war started, the empire has made countless mistakes in military strategy and political strategy. Only the Prime Minister of the Guards did not use the National Government as his opponent's statement. Today, the Chinese army is controlled by Chiang Kai-shek. Without his support, how can the peace talks be successful? Who can let Chiang Kai-shek step down? Wang Jingwei? He couldn't do it before, and now he can't do it.

Okamura Yanji turned his head and looked at Rigao Support in surprise. With his understanding of China, Rigao Support was undoubtedly correct. He was surprised that Rigao Support could actually draw such a small conclusion and hit Wang Jingwei with one sentence.

There was doubt, hesitation and confusion in Ligao's support's eyes. Nishiji, the young man's talent once again felt the talent of this young man. He said warmly: "This is the matter of their intelligence department. We are soldiers, so we don't care about this. How about Ligao Jun, would you like to come to the 11th Army to serve as the deputy chief of staff?"

Ligao's support was shocked. If he was a real Japanese, then Nishiji's invitation was undoubtedly a shortcut to advance to the general level. Unfortunately, he was not. The commander of the North China Front Army's combat section was his best.

Serving.

After hesitating for a while, Li Gao Support smiled bitterly and said, "I am very grateful for the general's kindness. I really want to agree, but unfortunately I cannot. I guess General Nishio will not agree. The combat class will replace two section chiefs in a short period of time, which will have a great blow to morale. Moreover, the Wuhan battle is about to begin. In this case, General Nishio will never agree."

Okamura Yasuji felt a little presumptuous. Indeed, even if Li Gao was willing to support him, Nishio Suzuo would definitely not let him go. He sighed slightly and his eyes returned to Takeo Imai and Tadao Akira.

Kagesaki noticed these two gazes. He turned his head to Okamura Yanji and Ritsugao support Xiaozhao and then smiled slightly to them, then turned around and asked, "Who is the young man next to Utsumizu-kun?"

Takeo Imai turned his head and replied casually: "Oh, that's Ligao's support for Nakasa. This young man is very good this year."

Hearing that it was Ligao support, Hashiaki Kaedao said softly: "It turned out to be him. No wonder the wangmura-kun was able to surrender the nobles. This is the Ligao support with the Gemini who was known as the North China Expeditionary Force."
