    But now that they have reached this stage, in order to preserve the main force, the Japanese army can only wait for reinforcements to arrive, and then consider breaking out.

    Otherwise, if they break through blindly, most of their main force will die on this grassland under the attack of the Soviet army with superior mobility.

    "When they lose their organization and discipline, even if their individual soldiers are of high quality, there is no difference between them and a ragtag group of soldiers.

    "I think you all know the situation we are facing at this time. The number of enemy troops besieging us has exceeded 200,000. Among them are more than 100,000 elite troops from the Soviet Union and troops transferred from the Mongols. And we  In the continuous battles, the number of soldiers in the army that can participate in the battle is less than 100,000." Komatsubara Michutaro said with a solemn expression.

    "The Kwantung Army has begun sending reinforcements to our side since yesterday. If nothing goes wrong, they should be able to arrive here within a week to rescue us. And what we have to do is to hold on.  One week." Michutaro Komatsubara's voice echoed in the lifeless temporary headquarters.

    Every Japanese commander standing here knows very well that they have fallen into a desperate situation.

    "How can we hold on for a week? The Soviets invade like fire and their offensive is extremely fierce. The Mongolian cavalry is everywhere and launches attacks on us at every turn. These guys have already seen that we can't win this battle. Originally,  They are still waiting and watching, and they will come over and step on us right away." The one who spoke was Shimomoto Kumiya, the commander of the 108th Division.

    The 108th Division he led suffered heavy casualties in continuous battles. At this time, the number of people who could still participate in the battle was less than 20,000.

    "The most important thing is that we don't have enough ammunition. According to the current offensive situation of the Soviets, our ammunition reserves can last for three days at most. After three days, we will hold the samurai sword in our hands,  Let¡¯s go for a decisive battle with Soviet tanks and armored vehicles.¡± said Ushijima Sadao, commander of the Japanese 18th Division.

    His tone was calm, but it could be seen from his solemn expression that his mood at this time may not be as calm as his tone.

    His 18th Division also suffered heavy casualties, but the entire army was still able to participate in the battle. At this time, its number was less than 15,000.  ,

    Other Japanese commanders also complained one after another.  Both the commander and the brigade commander were talking about the difficulty of this matter.

    General Zhukov once made an evaluation of the Japanese army, that is, the lower-level soldiers and commanders of the Japanese army are very excellent and have strong combat effectiveness.  But their senior leaders all grew up with golden keys in their mouths and don't have much practical experience.

    At this time, this scene seemed to confirm General Zhukov's judgment.

    On the contrary, Itagaki Seishiro, who had been silent for a long time, seemed to be still thinking about something.

    His fifth division is called the "Steel Army" because of its iron-like strong will.  As the supreme commander of this "Steel Army", Seishiro Itagaki's fighting will is also not comparable to other Japanese commanders in this command room.

    After a while, after everyone had finished complaining, Itagaki Seishiro slowly walked out from the corner.

    He glanced at everyone, and then pulled out the command knife from his waist.

    On the blade of the command sword, the four characters "Given by the Emperor" are engraved. To a certain extent, this is the highest honor of the imperial soldiers.

    This is also an affirmation made by the Emperor of Japan for Seishiro Itagaki's achievements in the war of aggression against China.

    ¡°Pang Dang!!¡±

    Itagaki Seishiro threw the command sword given by the Emperor directly on the table of the command headquarters. The sound it made was very harsh in the silent command room.

    "What are you doing?" Ushijima Sadao looked at Itagaki Seishiro and asked.

    Itagaki Seishiro glanced at him coldly, and then said in an extremely cold tone: "After I die in battle, this sword will trouble all my colleagues who can return to the country and send my sword back to my hometown. My mother also  Wait for me at home."

    At this point, he paused, then suddenly raised his voice and said loudly: "The Fifth Division has more than 25,000 people. So far, there are still 7,000 people left! I, Seishiro Itagaki, will also  Follow the eighteen thousand dead soldiers and rush to hell! Die generously for the Empire of Japan, and die generously for His Majesty the Emperor!

    If you still have some self-confidence as a warrior,?, you should put away your ridiculous cowardice and fear, and use your own chest to fight against the Soviet tanks and the Mongolian sabers!  "

    His words were loud and powerful.  In this small headquarters, it echoed for a long time.

    The other Japanese generals were shocked by his impassioned words, and even the air in the headquarters seemed to be condensed.

    After a while, the atmosphere relaxed.  The top commanders of the Japanese army, after being told by Itagaki Seishiro, all realized that what they should do at this moment was to unite and jointly resist the Soviet attack.  Instead of whining here.

    Because the only thing they can rely on at this time is excellent low-level soldiers and commanders, as well as strong collaborative combat capabilities.  If they push the blame here at this time, it will only be easier for the Soviets to eliminate them.

    "Okay, everyone, there is nothing wrong with what Mr. Itagaki Seishiro said. Our top priority now is to discuss how to deal with the Soviet attack and persist until other troops rescue us. Instead of complaining and shirk-passing here." Komatsubara Michutaro  , stood up and said at this time.

    The other senior Japanese commanders also looked at each other, and then looked at the military map held down by Itagaki Seishiro's command sword.

    On the map, Itagaki Seishiro's sharp sword seemed to be splitting the entire battlefield into two.  And around the map, there are small red flags everywhere, which are the Mongolian army and the Soviet army surrounding them.

    Success or failure depends on this, they need to devote all their efforts and persist for a week.  Build a position on a flat field, and then use your flesh and blood to block the advancement of Soviet tanks and armored vehicles.

    The Soviet army and the Mongolian army have roughly formed an encirclement circle.  The Mongolian army had been waiting and watching before. Now that the two sides had basically decided the winner, they chose to attack the Japanese army without hesitation.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
