Okamura Neji nodded, but his eyes were looking to the southeast.
He knows whether his country can build a huge empire. It depends on the next attack planned by the Army General Staff Headquarters in Southeast Asia.
If they can defeat the Americans and the British there, then force them to sign an armistice.
? Then they can plunder local resources and make their military stronger.
But by concentrating their efforts in Southeast Asia, their combat power in China is destined to be weakened.
He must grit his teeth and persevere through this period, and when his hands are free, he can then mobilize his troops and concentrate his strength to wipe out all the enemies entrenched in northwest Shanxi.
The Japanese army's defense in the Shanxi area has also been launched in an orderly manner.
They built a lot of fortifications.
Especially in strategic locations such as Yanmen Pass, Fanzhi County, Changzhi, and Linfen, a large number of military fortresses were built. At the same time, a large number of troops were stationed here.
In addition, the traffic arteries along the way are also covered with blockades and strongholds.
Armored vehicles and tanks were distributed to various strategic locations.
Especially in Yanmen Pass and Fanzhi County, hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles have assembled here.
According to Okamura Neiji¡¯s idea, even if they encounter the enemy¡¯s armored forces, they still have enough armor to fight the enemy head-on.
At the same time, he also ordered the troops to focus on studying infantry anti-tank tactics and strive to use the resources in their hands to achieve maximum damage to enemy armored units.
At this time, the roles of both parties seem to have been reversed.
This reversal is not only a reversal between offense and defense, but also a reversal of the advantages of both sides' weapons and equipment.
Originally they were soldiers of the Eighth Route Army and the Fourth Army. Why did they think of using infantry to block the Japanese tanks to the greatest extent with minimal casualties.
But now the Japanese army is thinking about how to block enemy tanks with minimal casualties.
At the headquarters of the Japanese North China Expeditionary Force, Seishiro Itagaki was standing outside the door, waiting for the end of the meeting inside.
His troops received a call-up order yesterday.
After the fifth division is replenished, it will be temporarily dispatched to South China to wait for orders.
But he is not going to participate in the battle against South China, but to prepare for the future invasion of Southeast Asia.
When he came here, he didn¡¯t want to attend the meeting, but wanted to ask the top management to adjust the order for the fifth division.
Finally, the meeting inside ended, and many staff members walked out of the headquarters.
When they saw Itagaki Seishiro, they were a little surprised and nodded to him.
After everyone had left, he straightened his clothes and walked into the headquarters with his head held high.
"Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief! Seishiro Itagaki, the commander of the Fifth Division, has something to tell you."
Doihara Kenji did not raise his head. While correcting the documents, he said: "Itagaki-kun, what's going on?"
Itagaki Seishiro walked a few steps over, then saluted him and said: "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, I want the Fifth Division to march into Shanxi."
"Shanxi? Xia Yang?"
As soon as Doihara Kenji heard this, he knew what Itagaki Seishiro was thinking.
Itagaki Seishiro has always been arrogant and arrogant, and he suffered continuous defeats at the hands of Xia Yang. Of course he was not convinced.
Including the Fifth Division before and after, a total of tens of thousands of people were killed. If this revenge is not avenged, Itagaki Seishiro may not be able to sleep peacefully in the future.
"That's right, Ithis is my selfishness and the selfishness of all the soldiers of our Fifth Division. We want to return to Shanxi and have another decisive battle with Xia Yang's Fourth Army." Seishiro Itagaki took a deep breath and said.
Doihara Kenji smiled, put down the pen in his hand and said: "It seems that Itagaki Seishiro, who has always been known for his stubbornness, is still stubborn even after experiencing so many battles."
"No, it's persistence!" Itagaki Seishiro corrected. "I am sure that the Commander-in-Chief can make the superiors withdraw their transfer orders to us."
Kenji Doihara smiled and shook his head, and then said: "I know you, it was actually my suggestion from above to send the Fifth Division to Southeast Asia."
"There is no one in the North China Front who is more suitable to fight in Southeast Asia than our Fifth Division." Seishiro Itagaki raised his head and said.??
"Yes, but I don't want you to be so stubborn. You have better development prospects.
The mess in Shanxi can be left to Neji Okamura. "Doihara Kenji said.
But Itagaki Seishiro was very stubborn and still refused to let go: "I I just want to defeat Xia Yang!! Please grant it to your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, this is my only request and my last request to you."
Seeing this, Doihara Kenji helplessly shook his head.
He values ??Itagaki Seishiro very much. As long as he develops well, it will be a matter of time before he is promoted to army commander.
But now Xia Yang has become Itagaki Seishiro's inner demon. If this inner demon cannot be removed, Itagaki Seishiro may not be able to live in peace for the rest of his life.
"Okay, Itagaki-kun, go back and wait for my news." Doihara Kenji sighed.
Hearing this, Seishiro Itagaki suddenly showed a smile on his face, then saluted Kenji Doihara with a military salute and walked out the door.
Looking at Itagaki Seishiro's leaving figure, Doihara Kenji had a bad premonition in his heart.
He always felt that he might lose his beloved general.
Three days later, the Fifth Division received a new transfer order.
They will switch defenses with a Japanese division stationed near Zhongtiao Mountain and enter Shanxi. The division near Zhongtiao Mountain will replace the original Fifth Division and conduct jungle warfare training for combat in Southeast Asia.
It was more than a week after Xia Yang sent everyone in the special high school class to Lake Baikal to herd sheep.
Xia Yang received a telegram from the military commander.
The content of the telegram was relatively euphemistic, saying that several of their intelligence officers on mission in northwestern Shanxi suddenly disappeared. I want to ask Xia Yang if he knows about this matter. If so, he must provide clues.
He also said in the telegram that these intelligence officers have very confidential information. It cannot fall into the hands of the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese Super High School.
Every word on that piece of white paper is true. But put together, they are all lies.
Hao Shiwen asked Xia Yang: "Military, how should we reply to this telegram?"
Xia Yang sneered and said: "Of course I am deeply concerned, and at the same time I am extremely saddened by the disappearance of the intelligence personnel.
¡°But where these people went, whether they disappeared or were killed, we really don¡¯t know. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
