War of Resistance

Chapter 1235 Big problem!
About half an hour later, Lieutenant General Kawashima, holding an urgent telegram in his hand, finally found Lieutenant General Neiji Okamura in the attic.

"Reporting to Your Excellency, Yueyang sent an urgent message. According to Lieutenant General Inaba Shiro, our army was once again attacked by the Chinese army in Yukou Town, and the No.15 Army of the Chinese Army has already moved north. The headquarters of the Sixth Division is very likely. We must independently face the attack of the main force of the No.15 Army of the Chinese Army!" The strong Lieutenant Kawashima reported.

"At this stall, how dare they attack our Yueyang line of defense? Aren't they afraid they won't be able to keep the Changsha line of defense?" Neji Okamura could hardly believe his ears. Went to the front line, but judging from the current situation, the Sixth Division seems to be a bit deflated?This made Ningji Okamura a little upset.

"Yoxi, according to Lieutenant General Inaba Shiro's report, this is the case." Lieutenant General Kawashima reported truthfully.

"Follow me back to the office immediately!" Lieutenant General Neiji Okamura said sternly. As the veritable supreme commander in the Wuhan area, if his style is not vigorous and decisive, it may be difficult to secure his position.

After returning to his office, Neiji Okamura began to observe the location on the map - he believed that it was impossible for an officer of Shiro Inaba's level to make low-level mistakes such as miscalculations.

There is only one possibility left, that is, the enemy army is ready to come out in full force.

Thinking of this, Okamura Ningji's face darkened, but the current Suizao battle line is too long, and it is also in the fierce battle stage, he can't let Suizao's battle plan be given up so easily—— If he gives up, it means that the threat to the northwest of Wuhan has not been eliminated. If he wants to eliminate the threat, he has to start all over again, which is not what he wants.

Persist in the Suizao campaign and annihilate the main force of the fifth theater of the Chinese army!This is the decision in the mind of General Neiji Okamura.

Then if the progress of Suizao campaign is to be maintained, it means that Yueyang must hold on, otherwise, once Yueyang is lost, then the bridgehead to attack Changsha will also be lost—this is something Okamura Ningji cannot tolerate of!
"Kawashima-kun, immediately call the commander of Inaba Shiro Division and tell him that he must stick to Yueyang and resist the offensive reinforcements of the No. 15 Army of the Chinese Army. They will arrive within two days. At the same time, call the aircraft unit and ask them to spare some Fighter planes support the battle in the direction of Yueyang! By the way, you remember to inform the Sixth Division and let them lay the forward airfield!" Neiji Okamura said very seriously.

"Hay!!" Kawashima Nakasori bowed his head and responded.

For the military technology and other aspects at this time, it has not progressed to a very advanced level, and what comes with it must be the roughness of the fighters-so, it does not take so much effort to lay the front-line airport at this time. All you need is a place to replenish aviation fuel and a large flat land for fighter jets to take off and land.

After Kawashima Lieutenant left, Neiji Okamura thought about it: How many troops should he mobilize for reinforcements?
After thinking about it, Neji Okamura finally set his sights on the No.20 Seventh Division, which is north of Jiangxi and close to the Yangtze River port.

"Yoxi, it's the No.20 Seventh Division!" Ningji Okamura nodded slightly. In his opinion, there is already a Type A division, the Sixth Division, in the Yueyang area. The entire division of the Sixth Division is almost It is just right for six reorganized regiments and a No.20 Seventh Division with only three regiments to go to Yueyang for reinforcements.

Afterwards, Neiji Okamura called a lieutenant who was standing at the door waiting for orders, and he said, "Lieutenant Yoshizawa, come in right away!"

After Lieutenant Yoshizawa heard the call from His Excellency the Commander, he immediately strode in and said, "Report to Your Excellency Commander, this is my post!"

"Jizawa-kun, listen up, go to the telecommunications office immediately to convey my order, please call Lieutenant General Masaharu Honma, commander of the No. Board the ship to support the battle in the Yueyang area!" Neiji Okamura said seriously.

"Hay!!" Lieutenant Yoshizawa stood at attention and bowed his head in response, and then strode away from Neiji Okamura's office.

After Lieutenant Yoshizawa left, Lieutenant General Okamura Neji was not idle, and immediately picked up the phone and said: "What, I'm Okamura Neji, please call the Naval Forces Office in Wuhan, I'll call Yoshii, their leader!"

Soon, the call was connected.

Neiji Okamura didn't say much, and he probably asked the navy to send warships to Jiangxi to contact the troops of the No.20 Seventh Division to go to Yueyang.

I'm afraid Zhang Tianhai himself didn't expect that his actions would cause such a large chain reaction!
As for Zhang Tianhai, his first goal was to kill the Japanese and eliminate the bandits, and drive out the invaders. He didn't think so much about other things.

……

The camera turns to Yueyang City again, the headquarters of the Japanese Sixth Division Division.

"Report to Your Excellency, Division Commander, Commander Neiji Okamura has urgently called back!" The combat staff officer knocked on Inaba Shiro's door.

"Come in!" Inaba Shiro's voice was very calm, no matter what?Now that Commander Neiji Okamura's reply has come, the outcome of this battle is already doomed at this time.

"Hay!" The combat staff responded, and then walked in front of Inaba Shiro and reported: "Reporting to your Excellency, commander of the division, Commander Okamura Neiji said in the reply, let us hold on first and resist China. The army is attacking, and the advance airfield is laid, and the reinforcements will arrive within two days! The report is over!"

"Search." Shiro Inaba nodded, took the translation of the telegram handed over by the combat staff officer and flipped through it.

After reading the above text, Inaba Shiro signed his name on it casually, and then said: "Pass this to the chief of staff! Tell him, just follow the order from above, and let him be responsible for laying the forward airfield business!"

With that said, Inaba Shiro handed back the signed telegram to the combat staff officer, who responded and left quickly.

At this time, Inaba Shiro looked at the ceiling and sighed long and long: "It seems that this battle is getting more and more interesting..."

……

But Zhang Tianhai, who was far away on the south bank of the Xinqiang River, didn't know it at all, and there was a big problem!

Zhang Tianhai may not have imagined that his move would indeed attract the attention of the Japanese army, but at the same time it would also bring about the problem of strengthening the strength of the Japanese army on the north bank of the Xinqiang River. Even if he thought about it, he might not have thought that things would go in this direction develop.

PS: Make up for last night, too sleepy, good night!
