    His intention was obviously to let Ogawa Yuri analyze the battle situation based on the existing intelligence, and at the same time speculate on the enemy's combat intentions.

    As the chief of staff of the General Staff Department, Lily Ogawa is very concerned about the movements of the four armies and related intelligence.

    She has been reading telegrams sent from various cities.

    The content of those telegrams basically stated that they had been attacked by the enemy.  But there were very few telegrams clearly indicating the number of enemies.

    Because most of them were attacked in the dark, they only knew that the enemy's firepower was fierce, but they had no way of seeing clearly how many people there were.

    However, they often add the sentence "There are many enemies" in the telegram. The reason why they say such a sentence is mainly inferred from the enemy's firepower.

    Another important reason is that many of their strongholds and defensive positions were lost too quickly.  It was so fast that they had to overestimate the enemy's strength.

    It is precisely because of this that after Yuri Ogawa roughly read those telegrams, she discovered that the number of troops that the enemy had exposed may have reached 100,000.

    "Something's wrong. How could the enemy drop more than 100,000 troops into the northern Henan region overnight? Especially, they even attacked our rear." Lily Ogawa said with a frown.

    Okamura Neiji said: "Now we are not entangled in the issue of how many enemies attack northern Henan. Instead, we must judge the enemy's offensive intentions and immediately provide support to the northern Henan area.

    That is where the important transportation line connecting the north and the south passes. If the enemy controls northern Henan, our connection with southern China will be reduced by half.  "

    With that said, his baton fell on the northern Henan region.

    Lily Ogawa looked there, and then said: "We must judge the enemy's real strength in northern Henan. Otherwise, we will not know whether this is the enemy's main attack direction or a feint attack direction.

    The Fourth Army should have three to four hundred thousand troops and paramilitary forces that can be mobilized in the Shanxi area.  If they only invested 50,000 to 60,000 people here, they would have attracted hundreds of thousands of people.  Then our defense in North China will inevitably end up paying attention to one thing at the expense of the other.  "

    Hearing this, Okamura Neji finally understood why Ogawa Yuri had just been concerned about how many troops the enemy had attacking northern Henan.

    "Based on last night's report analysis, the enemy should have mobilized large-scale armored units, as well as a large number of cavalry units, artillery units, and in the early morning, a large number of air forces were mobilized to attack some of our army's strongholds and counties.  bombed."

    A staff officer said.  "So, a conservative estimate is that the enemy's strength should be more than five reorganized divisions, or even six divisions. Coupled with the enemy's various transportation troops, they will mobilize about 150,000 troops to attack northern Henan this time.  above."

    Having said this, the staff officer continued: "In addition, our army's Hebi has been sneak attacked by the enemy and has fallen into the enemy's hands. We still don't know how this large-scale enemy force passed through our army's defense zone.  Suddenly appeared behind our army."

    Lily Ogawa pondered for a moment, and then said: "Airborne troops, they should be airborne troops."

    "Airborne troops?"

    This term is actually somewhat unfamiliar to the Japanese commanders present.

    Lily Ogawa said: "Yes, in the telegrams reported, more than one base heard the roar of aircraft engines late at night.

    "However, at that time, the enemy's fighter jets and bombers did not launch an attack on our military targets.

    The enemy's official attack was launched suddenly in the middle of the night.

    We have reason to believe that they set out from Jiyuan after dark, and then rushed madly to various positions and defensive strongholds of our army.

    At the rear of our army, their airborne troops descended from the sky, like a sharp knife, inserted directly behind us and occupied Hebi.

    Here, on the one hand, they can block our army from supporting northern Henan troops from the east, and at the same time, they can attack Xinxiang from the side and rear, putting Xinxiang into a state of being attacked from both sides.  "

    Yuri Ogawa analyzed so many situations in one breath that the entire Japanese command headquarters fell into a brief silence.

    Because it sounds a bit incredible that the enemy has airborne troops.  But if this is true, then everything makes sense.

      What's more, the enemy already has a large number of air forces.  Since they have bombers and fighter jets, it becomes very reasonable to have a large number of transport aircraft that can deliver a large number of airborne troops to their rear.

    "When Your Excellency the Chief of Staff said this, many things suddenly became clear." A Japanese military staff officer said.

    "Yes, at least we have figured out the enemy's military deployment now. Otherwise, we will be like headless flies. Even if we go to support, we don't know which city should be supported first." Another staff officer also said.

    Lily Ogawa pointed at the map and said: "Obviously, the enemy plans to attack Xinxiang and then threaten Zhengzhou.

    We have also received intelligence that the enemy's troops in the Luoyang area are ready to move. Even if Xia Yang's Fourth Army is eliminated, the National Army's troops here still have several reorganized divisions with good combat effectiveness.

    We must provide reinforcements to Zhengzhou and Xinxiang. In this case, we need to reinforce Anyang, which is the passage for our army to go south.

    If the enemy occupies Anyang, our troops will need to be dispatched from Shandong. However, if the enemy occupies Hebi, we will also be hindered.  "

    Okamura Ningji said: "Calculated this way, our army needs at least three divisions just for support from the south and the troops dispatched from Shandong."

    "Yes, at least three divisions are needed. The enemy's posture this time is very large. Zhengzhou cannot be lost, and the same is true for the northern Henan region.

    Anyang, Zhengzhou, Xinxiang, these are the cities we must defend. If any city falls into the hands of the enemy, we will fall into passivity.  "

    "Three divisions, plus other attached troops, probably number around 100,000 people. We must mobilize Kwantung Army troops from the Pingjin area and Manchuria to assist Hebei. Otherwise, once Hebei's troops are empty, the enemy will  Other troops in Shanxi will also choose to take advantage of the situation."

    Okamura Neji said.

    Lily Ogawa said: "Your Excellency, the commander-in-chief, has considered it more comprehensively." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
