mixed in the war

"Radius? Commander, do you think the Chinese dare to attack all these areas?" Guzhuang Qianlang snorted coldly, "Do they have the guts?"

"..."

ignorance!

At the first moment, such a word flashed through Terauchi Shouyi's mind.When did Guzhuang Qianlang still look at the squadron with that old perspective?Doesn't this guy know that the current Chinese are far less cowardly and timid than before when facing their imperial army?The Chinese Air Force, in particular, has basically gained an advantage over them. Under the leadership of Qin Wei, those restless Chinese pilots are still looking for trouble when they have nothing to do, let alone such a big scene?

"Gu Zhuang-jun, you remind me of me before." Temple Shouyi didn't want to get into trouble with Gu Zhuang Qianlang, because now is not the time: "Also full of contempt for the Chinese, thinking they are vulnerable. But you have to understand, Even when the Imperial Army's offensive was strongest, they still tenaciously defended the last line of defense. Now, the Imperial Army is continuously turning to Siberia, and our Chinese dispatched army has also moved from the largest number of nearly The 90 people have been reduced to less than 50 today, and we still don't have air superiority... But what about the Chinese? Not only have they actually received support from Britain, the United States and other countries, but their command system, which was almost a mess, has also been basically unified. In particular, the transfer of the Communist Party to Outer Mongolia has freed up Chiang Kai-shek's hundreds of thousands of troops in Shaanxi. This is a new force led by the very famous Hu Zongnan in Chiang Kai-shek's direct line..."

"Hu Zongnan is far away in North China. He does have a certain threat to Shinozuka Yoshio-kun, but it's just a threat." Guzhuang Qianlang said, "But what we need to pay attention to now is Nanchang!"

"Not Nanchang! Absolutely not! Qin Wei would never do such a meaningless thing." Temple Shouyi shouted.

"It doesn't make sense? These airports are all over south central Zhejiang and northern Fujian. They are not heading towards Nanchang. Could it be that they want to directly attack Shanghai or Hangzhou?" Guzhuang Qianlang asked rhetorically.

"Gu Zhuang Qianlang, you are trying to argue for reason!" Terauchi Shouyi finally got angry.Although he restrained himself repeatedly, his nature was arrogant and irritable, and he couldn't bear it for long.Guzhuang Qianlang repeatedly ignored his advice and authority, which made him feel that his face had been greatly hurt.

"Is it my resignation, or are you afraid of the enemy, Commander?" Gu Zhuang Qianlang did not back down, "I have never understood how you, who command the bravest army in the world, were defeated by a group of cowardly and incompetent Chinese. Scared like this? You and Kenji Doihara are still advocating defense again and again? The imperial army is used to attack, not to hide in the city like a woman and let the opponent humiliate... If you can insist on attacking the Chinese Attack, then. At this moment, why do we care where the Chinese build what airport?"

"Bagayalu! Get out—"

Shouyi in the temple trembled with anger.Once upon a time, he also said the same to those who tried to limit their expansion of the war against China; once upon a time, he also despised the Chinese and the Chinese army in this way... But he never expected that one day these words would be almost It was returned intact.He really wanted to draw out his knife and split Guzhuang Qianlang in half.But here is the office, and his knife is still on the knife holder.And Guzhuang Qianlang is three years younger than him...

"Commander, I'll come over later to pick up the plan! I hope you can sign it, after all, it's good for you. Of course, if you don't want to sign the plan, I will report it to the headquarters!" Guzhuang Qianlang cast a gloomy look at Shouyi in the temple, and a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes again.He didn't care how unruly his behavior was.Terauchi Shouichi used to be the head of the Imperial Army Department, so what if he alone holds the army's personnel power?So what if you have deep connections in Tokyo?Lost several times in a row.No matter how deep the foundation is, no matter how thick the relationship is, it will not work.It is already the limit for the higher authorities to tolerate him up to now.

"It's nothing more than trying to force me to leave in advance, and then take advantage of the arrival of the people sent by the base camp. Become the acting commander, and then, you can logically become the commander of one of the five major armies of the empire. With such a little calculation, I thought Can you hide it from anyone?" Seeing Guzhuang Qianlang's arrogant back disappearing outside the office door, Si Nei Shouyi was panting like a cow.He understands Gu Zhuang Qianlang's thoughts too well... He is now a defeated general in the eyes of many soldiers. Only when Gu Zhuang Qianlang doesn't care about him will he gain the admiration and support of those idiots who are only hot-headed.Just like when he himself was the head of the 4th Division, an ordinary second-class soldier named Matsui clashed with the traffic police in the center of Osaka because he ran a red light. Acting in accordance with the law, he led the soldiers of the division into Osaka instead, clamoring to "maintain the dignity of the Imperial Japanese Army", and destroyed the Osaka Police Station... As a result of that incident, he immediately erected a pole in the 4th division. High prestige.It's just that what he challenged was the law of the empire and the justice of the society, but what Guzhuang Qianlang challenged was himself.

"Hey, get me the Plum Mechanism!" Sulking for a while, Shouichi Terauchi suppressed his hesitation forcibly, picked up the phone: "Is it Mr. Chai Shan? I'm Juichi Shuichi! I know you have a special set The password for contacting Ishihara Wanji and Sakagaki Seishiro...don't lie to me, it was left by Doihara-kun, others don't know, do you think I don't know?...Yes, help me contact Ishihara-kun immediately, presumably You should also know what tricks the Chinese are up to. I won’t blame you for not notifying me, but you must pass on this information immediately. Then, give me Shi Yuan-kun’s answer... Come to Nanjing and give it to me personally ! Do not let other people know! Otherwise I will kill you!"

……

"Radius, what a long radius!"

Doihara is an old fox, and the old fox will naturally leave a few tails for future things.Although Shibayama Kenshiro was not used by him alone, and he and Kagesa Haruaki had kept many things from the second in command of the Mei Agency before, but he still left Shibayama Kenshiro as a line to Terauchi Shouichi and Ishihara Wan you.This showed his uneasiness towards Terauchi Shouichi, but Terauchi Shouichi was not unhappy about it... because the commander of the Chinese dispatched army also had no confidence in himself.When Doihara was around, the two could still discuss it, but now that Doihara has been ordered by the headquarters to retire and go back to Japan to farm, he can only contact Ishihara Wanji directly.This is also a helpless choice, because if he contacts Doihara or Toshishiro Obata, who is also "suffering" in Japan, he will be easily discovered by the base camp, which will only make the base camp furious!At that time, his end will only be worse than now.

But having said that, if you leave the matter to an "expert" like Ishihara Waner, Terauchi Shouichi is at least much smarter than Guzhuang Qianlang.But he also gave Ishihara Waner a difficult problem.

"Central and southern Zhejiang and northern Fujian... Calculated based on the radius of the Chinese bombers, Shanghai, Nanjing, Nanchang, and Wuhan are all within the strike range. However, based on Qin Wei's cunning and the distribution of the squadron Judging from the situation, any area may be the target of their attack." Hisao Nishio has officially taken office and has become the deputy commander of Seishiro Sakagaki, but he rarely takes the initiative to take care of things, and more But he followed Ishihara Waner, rather like Ishihara Waner's deputy chief of staff.And he also has his own explanation for this: he believes that his military talent is inferior to that of Ishihara Waner, and he is new to Siberia, so staying with Ishihara Waner can give him a deeper understanding of how to deal with the Soviets. Strategy and tactics are also more convenient for later things.His explanation was very straightforward, and he also directly stated that he would take over the position of Seishiro Sakagaki in the near future, but just like this, he won the trust and acceptance of Kanji Ishihara and Seishiro Sakagaki.

"Nishio-kun, you missed something on purpose." After listening to Hisao Nishio's analysis, Ishihara smiled and glanced at the former commander-in-chief of the dispatched army, and pointed to the map: "There are also here, there are It may be the opponent's target."

"Guangzhou?" Hisao Nishio smiled, "I have really thought about this. Our army has taken over French Indochina and cut off one of the most important external lines of communication for the Chinese. Therefore, regain Guangzhou and open up international lines of communication. It is indeed very likely that they will be their target this time. However, Guangzhou can get support from the empire by sea at any time, and the navy has already been angered by the Chinese. Once Guangzhou falls, they will definitely try their best to block the Pearl River ... even if the Chinese regain Guangzhou, it will be difficult to reopen the international shipping lanes they dreamed of."

"They have an air force." Ishihara smiled and said, "And I heard that the navy is already reassessing the status of battleships and aircraft carriers in future naval battles. According to the news from Tokyo, even Chuichi Nagumo has begun to waver... Battleships have little power to resist air strikes, and giant cannons are not only wasteful, but also have little effect. However, aircraft carriers can bring their own aircraft... That is to say, if they want to fight against the Chinese Air Force The threat of blocking the Pearl River estuary, the navy will dispatch aircraft carriers! But our fighter jets have lost their original advantage, and blocking the Pearl River estuary at this time is simply asking for a dead end! Those in the navy will not take this risk.”

"Haven't they already blocked the coast of Vietnam?"

"That's right. But how big is the coastal area of ​​Vietnam? How big is the Pearl River estuary? When Chinese planes are found, they can immediately evacuate to the ports of Vietnam or Hainan on the coast of Vietnam, but at the Pearl River estuary, do they dare to run there?" Hong Kong asylum?"

"Could it be...the Chinese really want to take back Guangzhou?" Hisao Nishio asked with a frown.

"There is another possibility." Ishihara smacked his lips and poked his fingers down heavily: "They want to take Taiwan!" (To be continued...)
