Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 1270 Okamura Ningji admits defeat (Second update!)
After the chief of staff arranged for his deputy to give orders, Neiji Okamura stared at the sand table and continued to ask.

"After the imperial army in this area has completely retreated, how many troops can the Eighth Route Army deploy in this area to reinforce other battlefields!"

The chief of staff thought for a while and replied: "According to the inference of the front-line combat troops, although they suffered heavy losses last night, the losses of the Eighth Route Army were not small, and it must not be less than 1 people. After excluding the local troops, they can draw nearly [-] main troops. Reinforce other battlefields!"

After Neiji Okamura heard this number, his face turned pale.

Then he stared at the huge sand table in front of him and replied: "It's over, we lost this raid~ Even if more than 2 imperial troops from Southwest Shanxi join the battlefield, it will not be able to save the imperial army's defeat in the entire North China!"

"How come?" the chief of staff asked back with a look of disbelief.

"We lost a total of less than 4000 people. The Imperial Army from Southwest Shanxi plus the Imperial Association Army has more than 5000 people. Not only can we make up for this loss, but we will also have nearly [-] more elites!"

Ningji Okamura shook his head and replied: "It is true that there will be more than 1 more people. But don't forget that the troops from Southwest Shanxi have only arrived in Linfen City now, and it will take at least ten days to join the battlefield. Under the counterattack of the Eighth Route Army , the losses of the Imperial Army and the Imperial Association Army in ten days definitely exceeded 1 people!"

When the chief of staff was about to continue arguing, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps at the door, and then he saw the deputy chief of staff who had just left rushing in with a look of panic.

"Sir, the Kato Division has an urgent call, something happened to them!"

While passing the telegram to the chief of staff, he continued to report: "Last night, they were raided by the Eighth Route Army's Xinyi Regiment at their station more than 20 kilometers southwest of Linfen City!"

"The new regiment dispatched a large number of heavy artillery units, mountain artillery units, mortar units, and armored units!"

"The Kato division suffered heavy losses, the entire imperial alliance army was wiped out, the entire engineer wing was wiped out, the Matsumoto wing was almost wiped out, the heavy artillery wing lost all its heavy artillery, the field artillery wing also lost nearly [-]% of its artillery, and almost lost Combat power!"

"There are more than 3000 of them left, and they are rushing to Linfen City."

"In order to avoid the same thing happening tonight, they plan to enter Linfen City tonight!"

The headquarters fell into dead silence for an instant.Everyone was frightened by the news, their mouths were open with shock on their faces.

The Kato Division is the only way for North China to recover from the defeat.

Because the North China Front Army suffered heavy losses last night, the Kato division with more than 2 people was already not enough.Now I actually tell everyone that in just one night, the Kato Division has dropped from more than 2 people to more than 1 people.

At this time, many people thought of Neiji Okamura's judgment just now, that the imperial army lost the premeditated sweep.

It now appears that the commander's judgment is very correct, and the North China Front Army has indeed lost.Even if the Kato Division, with only over 1 people left, joins the battlefield now, there is no way to make up for the current gap of the imperial army, let alone save the defeat and turn defeat into victory!

"Call Lieutenant General Kato immediately!" To everyone's surprise, Neiji Okamura did not get angry, but ordered with a serious face.

"The army immediately occupied Linfen City, and then stopped going north. Use Linfen City as a garrison to hold on!"

"Didn't Commander Yan in the World War II zone want to exchange grain for the excess grain in their hands? Exchange it now, but it's not a real exchange!"

"Tell Lieutenant General Kato, contact the World War II zone immediately, and trade with them now. When you see the food, just swallow the food for me. Food, weapons and ammunition, I want them all!"

"During this period of time, the Jinsui Army has taken a lot of advantage from the Imperial Army, and it's time to pay some price~"

"If I remember correctly, this Chief Yan threatened the imperial army a few days ago, this time I will let him taste the consequences of threatening the imperial army!"

"1000 million catties of grain is enough for the remaining troops of the Kato division to last for a year!"

"Order Lieutenant General Kato, after occupying Linfen, to stand firm and wait for reinforcements. At the same time, use the surplus weapons and equipment in your hands to reorganize the [-] imperial alliance troops, and let me manage Linfen City into a permanent fortress that cannot be broken or destroyed. , Wait for the situation to change!"

The chief of staff opened his mouth with a shocked expression, and it took him a long time to react.

After quickly recording the order, he stared at Neiji Okamura and asked, "Your Excellency, Commander, this is it!"

"Since you are defeated, then retreat, and retreat immediately!" Okamura Neiji replied directly.

"I have studied them, they are too cunning, the intelligence system is pervasive, and they are very good at spotting fighters."

"The imperial army has already lost. For the Eighth Route Army, there are fighters everywhere. The longer we continue this sweep that is doomed to fail, the greater the imperial army's losses will be!"

"Also, there is a saying in the guerrilla warfare that they are best at. When the enemy advances, we advance, and when the enemy retreats, we pursue~ We must stop the losses immediately before the Eighth Route Army has launched a full-scale counterattack, and order the troops who penetrated into their base areas to retreat immediately! "

"Only in this way can we minimize the losses caused by this defeat, recover our strength in the shortest possible time, and launch a new round of larger-scale sweeps against the Eighth Route Army!"

"As for the Kato division, since there is no point in withdrawing from Shanxi now, let's stay!"

"With them staring at Linfen City, the situation in Southwest Shanxi will become more complicated. For the imperial army, there are only advantages and no disadvantages!"

"Also, if the Kato Division does not stay in Linfen, they will continue to go north. Do you think that they can safely walk out of the base of the Eighth Route Army's Xinyi Regiment without the heavy artillery!"

"For this new regiment, the Kato division is now a piece of fat!"

"As long as they are exposed, they will pounce on them and take a bite whenever they have the chance!"

"The combat power of the new regiment is too strong. Not to mention the excellent equipment, it is also equipped with a large number of heavy artillery and armored vehicles. Facing such an elite group, I am very worried that if the Kato division continues to carry on its back, it will be destroyed before it leaves the base of the new regiment." Swallowed by them mouthful, not even a scum left!"

"Only by staying in Linfen City, relying on Linfen City's solid fortifications, will they have a chance to survive surrounded by the new regiment and continue to fight for the Great Japanese Empire."

"At that time, the Imperial Army, the Jinsui Army, and the Eighth Route Army will be intertwined in the southwest of Shanxi, and the situation will definitely become worse and worse. Maybe the Kato Division can still be a fisherman, using the Eighth Route Army and Jin Contradictions between the Sui army, reap the benefits of the fisherman!"

"Chief of staff, you should make arrangements now. Make me a plan for the full retreat of the imperial army on the front line before dark, and strive for the imperial army to retreat tonight. The sooner the better, the Eighth Route Army must not let the Eighth Route Army know in advance. Give us a hard blow." Reservoir dogs!"

"Send the telegram to the Kato Division as soon as possible, deal with the Jinsui Army now, and station in Linfen City before dark, stop carrying it on your back!"
