In the blink of an eye, the time came to the end of May 1939.
After nearly a month of fighting, the Battle of Suizao finally came to an end.
Compared with the performance of the Ninth War Zone in the Battle of Nanchang, the performance of the Fifth War Zone in the Battle of Suizao was much better. In recent months of fierce fighting, the Japanese army paid a price of nearly 20,000 casualties, but did not make any progress. Tanghe, Zaoyang and other places that were easily occupied were also recovered by the national army.
It is no exaggeration to say that none of the tactical goals set by Okamura Neiji for the Suizao battle before the war were achieved. Not only did it fail to consolidate Wuhan's flank direction, but it actually made the situation worse.
And after this battle, the morale of the fifth theater was greatly boosted, but the morale of the Japanese army was low. At least for a short period of time, the Japanese army did not dare to use troops in the direction of Xianghan.
So Okamura Neji turned his attention to the south again.
Wuhan¡¯s side has no choice but to go south.
As long as Changsha is occupied and the entire Huguang Plain is occupied, the Japanese army will be able to obtain Huguang's rice, which in turn will make the National Government's food supply more tense and China's war potential even weaker.
In addition, after occupying the entire Huguang, the Japanese army's strategic maneuver space will be greatly expanded. It will no longer be like now, when several divisions and brigades stationed around Wuhan may be surrounded by the Chinese army at any time.
Therefore, despite the failure of Suizao Battle, Okamura Neiji still stubbornly proposed the tactical concept of Changsha Battle to the Japanese base camp.
¡°However, this idea of ??Okamura Neji was questioned at the base camp.
In the original historical time and space, this idea of ??Okamura Neji came true, but in this historical time and space, the situation has changed. After weighing the various dangerous factors on the Chinese battlefield, the Japanese base camp ranked Wuhan's safety above all else. Risk factors rank second because Shanghai is more dangerous than Wuhan.

Tokyo, Imperial Palace, Imperial Study.
The Japanese Emperor Hirohito is summoning a group of ministers to hold an imperial meeting.
The topic of this imperial meeting is in which direction should the troops be used? Changsha or Yinjiang?
The one who is speaking now is Foreign Minister Hirota Koki, saying: "In the final analysis, it can be said that it is easy to start the Yinjiang Battle, but it is not easy to end it."
Army Chief of General Staff Xianyuan Gong Zairen frowned and said: "Why is it so difficult to change the law?"
Xianyuan Gong Zairen firmly supported the launch of the Yinjiang Battle and believed that the Yinjiang incident had reached a time when it must be resolved.
Facing the question from Xianyuan Gong Zairen, Hirota Hongyi bowed slightly and said: "The reason is very simple. Yinjiang is no longer an ordinary Chinese city, because there are thousands of people in Yinjiang's industrial zone. Once the imperial army attacks Yinjiang, it will definitely threaten these American industrial enterprises."
"It's just a threat, isn't it?" Xianyuan Gong Zairen said, "After all, the imperial army will not directly attack the industrial area of ????Yinjiang, but only needs to occupy the urban area of ????Yinjiang."
"Even if it is just a threat, it is enough to change the international situation." Hirota Koki said, "Today, although isolationism is still the mainstream public opinion in the United States, most senior officials, including President Roosevelt, have begun to lean towards Because of the interference in Asian affairs, the imperial army¡¯s attack on Yinjiang may trigger a backlash of public opinion in the United States!¡±
"Although I don't know much about diplomacy, I also know that it is not easy to determine and change a country's national policy, and it is even more difficult to change public opinion!"
"Yes, what His Highness said is very correct, but as the Minister of Foreign Affairs, I must remind Your Majesty of the huge risks involved in the Yinjiang Battle!" Hirota Koki said this and turned his attention to the Navy Combined Fleet who was invited to attend the meeting. Commander, Yamamoto Isoroku, said, "I would like to ask Yamamoto-kun, is the navy ready?"
Including Hirohito, the eyes of everyone present at the meeting fell on Yamamoto Isoroku.
Hirota Koki seemed confident, because before attending the meeting, he had communicated with Yamamoto privately and clearly told him the benefits and risks of going to war with the United States.
Hirota Koki is convinced that Yamamoto Isoroku will support his opinion.
Facing everyone's gaze, Yamamoto Isoroku first bowed slightly to Hirohito, and then said: "Your Majesty, everyone, here I just want to say one thing on behalf of all the officers and soldiers of the combined fleet. Once the empire needs it, once His Majesty the Emperor orders, Our combined fleet can annihilate the U.S. Pacific Fleet in one day!"
"What?" Hirota Hongyi asked.I'm confused, how could this happen?
Hirohito, Kanin Gong Zairen and others were perked up after hearing this. As long as the navy has this confidence, it will be easy to handle!
At that moment, Hirohito snapped the case and said: "Yamamoto-kun is so heroic! When we attack Yinjiang, we must first remove the threat from Yinjiang to Shanghai. As for the threat from Changsha to Wuhan, we can wait. After all, the situation in Wuhan is not that urgent. Wait a while." It¡¯s been half a year, so the problem is not very serious, what do you think?¡±
"Your Majesty is wise!"

When the Japanese army was preparing intensively for the Battle of Yinjiang, Zhong Yi was not idle either.
Although Japan has done a very good job in keeping secrets, Zhong Yi still smells dangerous smells in the air based on clues.
Because in another historical time and space, not long after the Battle of Suizao ended, the Japanese army immediately began preparations for the First Battle of Changsha.
However, the intelligence sent back by Fang Jianwei from Shanghai showed that ship after ship of arms were indeed transported from Japan to Shanghai. However, these arms were not loaded on trains and sent to Nanjing or even Wuhan, but were stored directly in The Thirteenth Japanese Army was located in several large arms warehouses on the outskirts of Shanghai.
If the Japanese army wants to launch the Changsha Battle, then these arms will definitely be shipped to Wuhan as soon as possible.
But now these arms are not transported to Wuhan, but are stored in Shanghai on the spot. This can only indicate one possibility, that is, this batch of arms was not prepared for the Changsha Battle!
This batch of arms was not prepared for the Battle of Changsha, so why was it prepared?
With this speculation, the answer is readily apparent. It is obviously prepared for Yinjiang!
The stupid little devil is about to launch the Battle of Yinjiang, and he doesn¡¯t have much time left for him!
At that moment, Zhong Yi hurriedly drove to Jiangbei. He had just learned that Commodus had returned from Shanghai, so he wanted to rush over and ask about the equipment for the second batch of 12 mechanics, as well as the equipment purchased from the Soviet Union by an American company. When will 500 DSHK anti-aircraft machine guns be available?
There are not enough guys in hand, and Zhong Yi is also unsure! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
