    Shanghai, the headquarters of the Japanese Thirteenth Army.

    Although it was already past eleven o'clock in the evening, the lights in the conference room were still bright.

    Including Commander Okamura Neiji and Chief of Staff Kanji Ishihara, almost all the senior generals of the Thirteenth Army Headquarters were gathered in the conference room at this moment.

    Yes, in view of the current severe situation, Okamura Neiji convened an emergency cabinet meeting.

    Ishihara Kanji first introduced the situation to the senior generals attending the meeting. After the introduction, he said: "Gentlemen, this is the situation. Although the 15th Division and the 17th Division still have at least two regiments of troops who are resisting tenaciously,  , but the cruel reality is that they are divided and surrounded by hundreds of strongholds, and it is no longer possible to form a joint force."

    "In other words, the collective destruction of the 15th Division and the 17th Division is inevitable."

    Hearing this, Air Force Commander Yamaguchi Tawen was shocked and said: "Ishihara-kun, why did the situation in the third Zhejiang-Fujian War suddenly deteriorate to this point?"

    "Yes, it was still great two days ago, right?"

    "I even thought that our Thirteenth Army was already in sight of victory."

    "This change is too fast and sudden, and it catches people off guard."

    Ishihara Wanji tapped the table with his fingers and said: "This is mainly due to our negligence before. Although we conducted certain screening of the Chinese troops who returned in the early stage, the screening work was not detailed enough, resulting in a large number of Chinese troops who pretended to surrender.  Entering the Imperial Alliance Army, thus causing hundreds of strongholds to fall overnight!"

    "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore." Neji Okamura waved his hand and interrupted, "Let's get down to business."

    "Hai." Ishihara smiled and continued, "The current situation is that the collective destruction of the 15th and 17th Divisions is inevitable, and once the 15th and 17th Divisions are collectively destroyed, then the middle road will be destroyed.  The flank and rear of the attack group will be exposed to the front of the 10th China Army."

    "So now, we have to face a hard fact."

    "Should the offensive of the middle cluster continue? Should the third Zhejiang-Fujian battle continue?"

    ¡°If we withdraw our troops now, the initiative in the situation will still be in our hands, but if we delay it any longer and wait until the 10th China Army cuts off the retreat route of the middle group, the situation will fall into passivity.¡±

    "So the question now is, should the third Zhejiang-Fujian War continue?"

    As soon as Ishihara Wanji finished speaking, a major general stood up and said, "I think we should continue."

    When everyone looked anxiously, they discovered that it was He Zhongji, the commander of the 2nd Aviation Division.

    Ishihara smiled and nodded, then asked: "What's the reason?"

    "The reason is very simple." Shiga Tadashi said loudly, "First of all, I don't think that the 10th China Army has the ability to cut off the retreat of the central attack group. Even if the 15th Division and the 17th Division are collectively shattered, it will not be able to return to China.  Is there a 5th Division? Isn¡¯t there an independent 11th Brigade?¡±

    "The 5th Division and the independent 11th Brigade are enough to protect the back of the center attack group."

    "Secondly, even if the 5th Division plus the 11th Independent Mixed Brigade cannot defeat the 10th China Army, even if the center attack group is cut off by the China Army, there is nothing to worry about."

    "The worst case scenario is to let the middle attack group switch to defense on the spot and wait for reinforcements to arrive."

    "After all, the base camp is already undergoing its fifth and largest mobilization so far. It is said that thirty divisions will be organized at once this time! And ten of them will be incorporated into the Thirteenth Army! So  , there is absolutely no need for us to worry that our retreat will be cut off by the Chinese Army."

    "Finally, and most importantly, our army must win this battle!"

    "As for the reasons, I won't go into details here. I believe everyone here will understand."

    "Anyway, if we still can't defeat the Zhejiang-Fujian War Zone and capture Yinjiang this time, then the imperial army may not have a chance for a long time in the future."

    The senior generals present nodded unanimously.

    He Zhongzhi¡¯s analysis is undoubtedly very reasonable.

    Okamura Neji also remained silent.

    ¡­¡­

    The cabinet meeting ended soon.

    However, for Okamura Neji and Ishihara Kanji, the fact that this meeting was held actually meant that it was not held.

    Ishihara Wanji, who had always remained calm even when the mountain collapsed, began to lose his composure and said in a deep voice: "Okamura-kun, we can't delay any longer, we must make a decision."??!  "

    "If the offensive continues, then the 5th Division must stop immediately and switch to defense on the spot! The 11th independent mixed brigade does not need to rush to help Shaoxing anymore. It only needs to defend Hangzhou! There are also four divisions in the middle cluster  , the 22nd Division on the left must also fully shift to defense as soon as possible."

    "If the offensive is suspended, the 5th Division and the 11th Independent Mixed Brigade will still attack in the direction of Xinchang and Shaoxing as planned. In addition, the 1st Division and the 18th Division will also retreat immediately.  To consolidate the front line from Yiwu to Zhuji, the Guards Division and the 2nd Division will also retreat alternately."

    "But whether to continue the offensive or to suspend the offensive, a decision must be made immediately."

    "If we delay it any longer, neither side will be able to rely on us, and we will really be in big trouble."

    "Ishihara-kun, please let me think about it again." Okamura Neji showed a look of struggle on his face.

    " Okamura Neiji has always been known for his courage and perseverance in the military. No matter what kind of complex situation he encounters, he always has a plan in mind and can always make a decision quickly.

    But this time, Okamura Neji really hesitated.

    This time, Okamura Neji really didn¡¯t know what to choose.

    In fact, Ishihara Wanji was almost the same, he also hesitated.

    Although Ishihara Kanji is constantly urging Okamura Neji to make decisions, this is because he is only the chief of staff, not the commander of the Thirteenth Army. If he were the commander, he would be blind.

    Nothing else, this decision is really too important and the stakes are too high!

    In a sense, this decision may even affect Japan¡¯s national destiny!

    After hesitating for a long time, Okamura Neiji still couldn't make up his mind. He sighed softly and said, "Ishihara-kun, please seek the opinions of the base camp and His Majesty the Emperor."

    Okamura Neiji knew that asking the base camp and the Emperor for advice at this time would seriously reduce his impression in the base camp and His Majesty the Emperor, and would make the senior Japanese military and His Majesty the Emperor think that he lacked responsibility and decision-making at critical moments, but Okamura  Murura Neiji no longer cares about this, he is really very square and messy now.

    Ishihara smiled and frowned and said: "Okamura-kun, are you sure you want to seek the opinions of the base camp and His Majesty the Emperor?"

    "I'm sure." Once Okamura Neiji made the decision, he felt calm, nodded and said, "I would like to pay my respects to the base camp and the Imperial Household Ministry." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
