Imperial Palace, Kyoto, Japan.
In front of Emperor Showa, there was an analysis report on the existing combat strength of the independent division, and after reading this report, Emperor Showa felt a little angry, such a person who had made them suffer many times in the Great Japanese Empire was still developing, and the strength had reached such a point that the air force and navy had a preliminary scale, not to mention the infantry.
"So, the cabinet's strategy" Emperor Showa looked at Kiichiro Hiranuma in front of him and said coldly.
"At present, there are two opinions on the strategy against Zhou Weiguo, one is to concentrate the superior forces of the Great Japanese Empire and completely defeat Zhou Weiguo, but in doing so, the Great Japanese Empire will suffer great losses; Second, it is the action of temporarily abandoning the Chinese battlefield, as long as the existing occupied land, population, resources, etc. are integrated and applied, and the comprehensive strength of the empire is steadily developed, that is, to avoid Zhou Weiguo for the time being, because the proportion of our input and output on the battlefield of China can no longer meet us.
However, there is a disadvantage to this, that is, it will allow Zhou Weiguo's troops to become bigger, and it will be more difficult to fight them in the future.
Hiranuma Kiichiro said.
The emperor frowned, the first plan was something he didn't want to see, speaking of which, the Laiyang region did not have any mineral resources that were too worthy of their large troops, and the losses were too great, and the current empire had no way to toss too much.
The second plan is probably Takeshita Jun's idea, and the emperor thinks that although Zhou Weiguo will be allowed to become bigger, it will still be good for the current development of the empire.
"Let's choose option two for the time being, the empire is now unable to toss too much."
Emperor Showa sighed, "If I could, I would also like to send Zhou Weiguo to the department" "Huh."
Hiranuma Kiichiro sighed, because he also discovered this fact, if he really wanted to completely exterminate Zhou Weiguo's independent division, the price to be paid might be really huge.
Avoiding the edge for the time being is a good choice for the present, but in the future, it may cause huge hidden dangers, but now the empire really can't stand the toss, it's a big deal, "Hey." ” "Go ahead."
Emperor Showa also felt a little tired, he was originally invincible on the battlefield in China, but since the battle for Wuhan, the empire has been a little powerless, "However, Zhou Weiguo's destruction of the agreement cannot be stopped." ” "Hi" On July 14, 1939, Germany issued a telegram condemning the Chinese Zhou Weiguo Minister's violation of the agreement and ignoring the peace, and the Chinese government should punish them, otherwise there would be no need for all countries to sign a treaty.
On the same day, Italy also sent a report in support of Japan.
Laiyang Zhou Weiguo looked at the telegram and just smiled, this kind of thing, for him, doesn't mean much at all, unless Lao Jiang cuts his position.
But he also knew very well that Lao Jiang would still not cut his position, after all, the external pressure had not yet been exhausted at this time.
"Germany and Italy, this is for Japan."
Liu Yuan smiled, "I want to put pressure on the chairman and demote you" "I guess I have this in mind, but I should also know that it's useless."
Zhou Weiguo said with a smile, "On the contrary, Xiaogan's side is still in full swing."
Okamura really wanted to give us some colors to see. ” "Yes, at this time, if you don't fight, there is nothing you can do, after all, the dignity of the country is still needed, otherwise, you will be trampled under your feet."
"Hey, I didn't mean to."
Zhou Weiguo smiled, "I really just want to divert attention." ” "I know."
Liu Yuan looked at Zhou Weiguo, "Thank you for your hard work." ” "What did I have to work hard, I didn't go to the battlefield, and I didn't go to work."
Zhou Weiguo shook his head, "The hardest should be the soldiers."
Speaking of which, the military exploits of our division have been accumulated for a long time. ” "That's right.
But without the establishment, you can't promote the people below to the ranks. ” "Huh."
Zhou Weiguo sighed, "That's it, so be it." ” Xiaogan "The Shizuo devil has been attacking for two days in a row."
A colonel said to a lieutenant general of the national army.
"I know."
The lieutenant general of the national army nodded, "Brothers are also working hard, but this time, we have to tell the people, tell the chairman of the committee, even if there is no independent division, we can fight devils without their independent division, we have to eat pork with hair."
"Yes" Suddenly, a cannonball landed on the city.
"Boom" "Let the artillery brothers fight back," said the lieutenant general division commander.
"Yes" If Zhou Weiguo was at the scene, he would have to laugh, the troops under the Fifth War Zone had been supported by him before, large-caliber artillery and artillery shells, and now, Lao Jiang's order, some people can see that Zhou Weiguo has fallen out of favor, so he is in a hurry to behave in front of Lao Jiang.
"Commander, the devil and the national army have been fighting for two days, and the losses of the national army are very serious."
A soldier of the New Fourth Army lay on the ground and said to Li Xian.
"Well, I know that."
Li Xiannian nodded, "You go and investigate the situation behind the devil, and when the time comes, we will find an opportunity to see if we can attack the devil." ” "Yes" Half an hour later, the soldier ran back and said, "Commander, I have made it clear, the devil now has 2 divisions besieging Xiaogan, although it is a siege, but most of them are attacking on this side." ” Li Xiannian nodded, and thought about it, Xiaogan is about 80 kilometers away from Wuhan, that is, about 160 miles, according to the devil's drive, it takes 2 hours under normal circumstances, but if it is really urgent, this time will be greatly reduced, however, in this case, it is impossible to encircle and send reinforcements, and his troops of thousands of people want to fight 2 divisions of the devil, so the rest can only be to sabotage the devil.
"The first leader, the second leader" "Commander" "Commander of the first regiment, you and the first regiment will attack the devil with me here for a while, and the second regiment will bypass from behind and attack from the other side of the devil."
Li Xiannian said, "The two sides cooperate.
If there are not many soldiers coming out of the devils, then we will continue to fight, and if the devils come to chase us, then we will withdraw.
After withdrawing from the range, slowly touch it back and continue to fight. ” "Commander, this is the way to play" "That's right, it's just playing with devils.
In such a mountainous area, the devil will definitely not be able to outrun us, and the terrain is not familiar to us.
After all, guerrilla warfare is our strong point," Li Xiannian said, "When fighting, we must pay attention, if we can't fight, we must cherish the lives of our soldiers." ” "Yes" "Okay, go ahead
