After saying that, Xia Yang showed a meaningful smile.
Luo Xinghe lowered his head and thought, with confusion and doubt in his eyes.
Three days later, the troops resting in Peking and Tianjin officially set off and began to advance towards the Shijiazhuang area.
This time, the troops led by Xia Yang included three divisions: cavalry division, armor division, and garrison division.
In total, there are more than 70,000 people.
In addition, General He of the Eighth Route Army also took his main force and went south with them, advancing towards the Shijiazhuang area.
There are more than 100,000 troops in total, and together with the Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army troops that were originally in the Shijiazhuang area, their strength in attacking the Japanese North China Expedition Force this time has even exceeded 400,000.
At this time, in the headquarters of the North China Expeditionary Force, there was already a scene of panic.
In more than a month, Okamura Neji has reached the point where he has run out of ammunition and food.
Except for the Japanese aviation units in Shandong, which used transport planes to deliver some supplies to them, they could no longer get any ammunition supplies.
Even the original ammunition warehouse has been exhausted by this time.
The Japanese army now has nearly 100,000 troops and has completely fallen into a desperate situation.
Okamura Neiji once tried to have his soldiers break out towards Shandong.
But within a few dozen kilometers of breaking out, a regiment of several thousand troops was wiped out by the Fourth Army and Eighth Route Army troops along the way.
Especially the troops of the Fourth Army, they are well-equipped and possess very advanced investigation methods.
Whether it was the reconnaissance planes overhead or the observation posts they left in various areas, the routes of the Japanese breakout troops were clearly detected.
This Japanese regiment was also surrounded and intercepted along the way. Most of them were annihilated, and a very small number chose to surrender.
¡°I think we should break through decisively and there is no time to hesitate.¡±
In the headquarters, the debate between the Japanese staff officers and the division commander almost broke the entire roof.
"Impossible, the enemy has a large number of troops, almost twice as many as ours.
Not only that, they have huge air superiority, and you also saw the troops that tried to break through before.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? They were all annihilated before they even made it a hundred kilometers away. I think we should still hold on and wait for help. "
Someone objected loudly.
"Are we just waiting to die here? Or do you think that if this delay continues, the General Staff Headquarters will send reinforcements to rescue us?"
Someone also said loudly.
¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤
Facing the discussion among the people in the headquarters, Neji Okamura, who was sitting at the top, remained silent.
He just watched everyone quarrel.
Finally, everyone seemed to be a little tired from the quarrel, so they gradually calmed down and looked at Okamura Neji.
When Okamura Neji saw that everyone was quiet, he slowly stood up, put his hands behind his back, and walked to the map on the wall.
Then, with a serious look, he said, "I want to announce some bad news to everyone."
"bad news?"
After he said this, the Japanese officers in the headquarters immediately started talking again.
Okamura Neji's temple hair has turned gray at this time. He is obviously only in his early fifties, but he looks like an old man in his sixties or seventies.
When everyone became quiet again, Okamura Neji said in a hoarse voice: "The bad news is that the General Staff Headquarters has issued an order and will not send reinforcements to support us.
Currently, friendly forces in Shandong and Henan, as well as Jiangsu and Anhui, have begun to focus on consolidating their defense lines to deal with possible attacks by the fourth army. "
Hearing these words, everyone¡¯s discussion became louder.
"How can this be possible? Is it possible that we will be abandoned in this foreign land?"
"Humph, we are not the only ones who were abandoned on a foreign land. Hundreds of thousands of elite troops led by Yamamoto Isoroku and Ogawa Yuri were also abandoned near Shanhaiguan and in the Pingjin area."
"What about the Kwantung Army? Don't they claim to be one million? Don't they boast that they are the 'Flower of the Empire'? Where are they now? Are they watching a show in Manchuria?"
Okamura Neji stared deeply at the table in front of him until the discussion around him stopped.? Said again: "I just listened briefly to everyone's thoughts on the next stage of operations.
Whether to continue to hold on or choose to break out, I think it¡¯s better to vote by a show of hands. "
Okamura Neji's voice sounded very weak and haggard at this time.
The Japanese officers around him immediately started discussing again.
Until they were tired of arguing and quieted down, Okamura Neji said: "Now, those who agree to continue to hold on, please raise your hands."
After he finished speaking, no one raised his hand.
So Okamura Neji continued: "What about those who support the breakout?"
But after he said these words, only a few people raised their hands.
These Japanese officers naturally know that holding on here will only lead to death, and they absolutely cannot hold on here.
However, they also knew very well that no matter which direction they broke through or turned in, they would be fiercely blocked by the enemy.
And whether they can break through the enemy's blockade and enter the Japanese-occupied area is still unknown.
The Japanese regiment that broke through before was a lesson for them.
In less than two days, they were all annihilated within a hundred kilometers of breaking out.
And if they want to reach the Japanese-occupied area, they have to walk at least more than 300 kilometers.
By this time, their truck had run out of fuel and they had to rely on mules, horses and walking.
¡°Then they are afraid they will never be able to finish the more than 300 kilometers away.
"I know that each of you is hesitating.
Because the two roads in front of us seem to have no hope of survival. "
Okamura Neji said.
Everyone was silent and lowered their heads. They all knew that what Okamura Neji said was what they were thinking.
"Commander-in-Chief, we are not afraid, nor are we cowardly. It's just thatif there is hope of life before us, we can naturally fight hard.
But now, we have been abandoned by the General Staff Headquarters, and we are now alone. "
A Japanese division commander came forward.
¡°My child is still waiting for my return in my hometown.
But I may not be able to go back"
Having said this, he turned his head away and said no more words.
Okamura Neiji looked at the map and said: "It's not that there is no hope in life. It's just that the hope in this life can only belong to some people."
"Commander-in-Chief, if you have any ideas, just tell me."
A Japanese military staff officer said loudly.
"Yes, we will obey your orders. The situation cannot be worse than the current situation." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
