After hearing this, the staff officer said very worriedly: "But now the operational center of the staff headquarters is placed in the Pacific region. A large amount of our army's supplies and elite troops have been deployed there, and we want to get it from them. It may be difficult to ask for personnel supplies, materials and equipment.¡±
Okamura Neji¡¯s eyes flashed and he said: ¡°I know, but if we don¡¯t report it, we may get nothing.
There is an old Chinese saying that a child who cries gets milk. If we remain silent, do not cry or make trouble, the General Staff Headquarters may not even give us a bullet. If we make a fuss, even if we are unable to obtain supplies of personnel, the supply of weapons, equipment and materials can, to a great extent, alleviate the embarrassing situation our army is facing at this time. "
The staff officer nodded, and then followed his words and began to send telegrams to the Japanese Army Staff Headquarters.
It was now October, less than two months before the Japanese launched an attack on Pearl Harbor and sent troops to Southeast Asia.
Now within the Japanese army, almost all war resources are being tilted toward the upcoming military operations in the Pacific.
As early as the beginning of the year, the Japanese military's domestic industry began to operate at full capacity, manufacturing a large number of warships to counter the US military's maritime power in the Pacific.
At the same time, a large number of elite Japanese troops, whether it was the Kwantung Army, the troops stationed in the mainland, or the Chinese dispatched troops, were mobilized.
This is also the reason why Xia Yang was able to suddenly launch an attack on Shanxi while the Japanese army shifted its strategic focus.
¡°Otherwise, if the Japanese army attacks the Shanxi area before the Japanese army plans to send troops to the Pacific, then the Japanese army¡¯s counterattack must be very fierce. His troops may not be able to attack Shanxi so smoothly.
Although it is said to be a coordinated operation, the main force participating in the attack on the Changzhi area this time was actually the main force of Xia Yang's Fourth Army.
As for the commander-in-chief's troops, there were two divisions that also participated in the attack.
But considering their equipment situation and the quality of their soldiers, Xia Yang chose to let them serve as a reserve team.
It¡¯s just that this time the attack against Changzhi won¡¯t even be the reserve team¡¯s turn.
They have absolute self-confidence. This self-confidence did not appear out of thin air, but was gradually accumulated after winning consecutive battles against the Japanese army.
In just half a day, Xia Yang's vanguard troops had successfully reached the Japanese defense line outside Changzhi.
After they arrived here, they did not rush to attack, but waited for the arrival of the rear troops.
Reporting to the general, the latest intelligence is that the enemy's vanguard has arrived at our army's defensive position in the south of Changzhi.
But they did not launch an attack on our army, but waited there, seemingly waiting for the arrival of rear troops. "A Japanese military staff officer said.
"Where is it?" Okamura Neji immediately stood up and asked.
The Japanese staff officer walked over and quickly marked the location of Xia Yang's vanguard force on the map with a pencil. There is only forty kilometers away from Changzhi City. If their armored forces advance fast enough, it will only take more than an hour to push directly to Changzhi's core defense circle.
Okamura Neji looked gloomy and said: "Didn't they set up camp after they arrived?"
"So far, our army has found no signs that the enemy has set up camp. They even eat the dry food they carry with them without making a fire." said the Japanese staff officer.
"Tell the blocking troops in front to prepare for battle tonight. The enemy is very likely to launch a violent attack on our army tonight." Okamura Neiji said very confidently.
The Japanese staff officer said: "They have been marching in a hurry for a day. It is impossible for them to launch a fierce attack on our army so quickly. They need to rest for at least one night. Even if they launch a night attack, our army should also launch a night attack." The Japanese staff officer said with some confusion.
But Okamura Neji shook his head and said: "He knew you would think so, so he decided to launch an attack on us tonight. If we neglect to take precautions, we will still be the ones who suffer."
He has fought against Xia Yang many times and knows that this man fights very strangely and does not play according to common sense.
And this person¡¯s tactics have always focused on the importance of a ¡°soldier with great speed¡± who will often appear suddenly behind you, cut off your transportation line, and surround you.? local area.
This was the case when they were in Qinglong Town. In just one night, Xia Yang's troops directly cut off the connection between Qinglong Town and Taiyuan City, turning Qinglong Town into an isolated land under siege. to their support.
Therefore, now Okamura Neiji has to guard against Xia Yang's troops, because he knows that this guy will definitely not give up any minute or second to attack and consume him.
That¡¯s a mad dog that will use every possible means to tear the enemy apart until even the scum is left.
"Okay, I'll immediately notify the frontline defense forces." said the Japanese staff officer.
"Wait a minute." Okamura Neiji called him from behind.
"Is there anything else? General." The Japanese staff officer turned around and asked.
"Order the divisions defending in Wuxiang County to deploy two brigades to defend Changzhi. It is enough to leave one brigade in Wuxiang County. The enemy's main force will not attack our army from the north. "Okamura Neji said.
"Yes!" the Japanese staff officer responded, then turned and left the headquarters.
Seeing that the staff officer left, Okamura Neji looked at the defense map of the Changzhi area with a solemn expression.
"Xia Sang, this is the place where you and I will have a decisive battle."
As he said this, there was even a smile on his lips.
Being able to encounter such a difficult opponent in his lifetime, as a samurai, Okamura Neji would even be a little excited every time he fought against Xia Yang.
