Tojo Hideki held his waist with one hand and stroked his bald head with the other. There was anger in his eyes, but he said nothing.
He didn¡¯t know how to curse, nor would he greet the Japanese officer next to him with his big ears. Instead, he walked to the wall with his waist in hand and looked at the map.
After a while, he tore off the map again, tore it into pieces, and threw it to the ground, like dropping a fake calligraphy and painting bought at a high price.
"This group of rubbish, the rubbish of the Admiralty, the rubbish of the Kwantung Army, turned the original offensive into a defensive, and the defensive turned into a retreat within a few days."
When Tojo Hideki said these words, he muttered at the corner of his mouth. If you don't get close, you can hardly hear what he said.
His tone said he was insulting these people, more like he was cursing something.
"Sir, Seiji Hojo sent a telegram asking what they should do next?"
A staff officer said cautiously at this time.
Tojo Hideki turned his head and looked at him angrily, but said nothing more. He just took the telegram in his hand and read it carefully.
"Tell Seiji Hojo to turn their warships into troop transports and transport several divisions on the peninsula to Manchuria to assist the Kwantung Army in the next phase of operations."
Tojo Hideki said.
Although he has suffered a frontal defeat, he knows that just getting angry and roaring now will have no effect, and he must start formulating a battle plan for the next stage.
After saying these words, he looked at the Japanese staff officers standing aside with their heads lowered and said: "Now start formulating the next phase of the battle plan."
"yes!!!"
Everyone answered in unison and immediately started walking over.
The new map was hung up, and the commanders began to discuss it.
¡°I think we should engage in a tug-of-war with the enemy around the Jinzhou area, similar to the Verdun Line of Defense and the Somme Line of Defense during World War I.
Here, fighting the enemy in a war of attrition, they lack sufficient industrial support, and they cannot support the long-term war consumption.
This is especially true for the Fourth Army. The war resources they have accumulated can only be consumed in more than a month of fighting. If they cannot seize more supplies and ammunition from our army in successive battles, their attack strength will weaken. "
A Japanese military staff officer said. ¡°We have railways and roads here, which are very convenient for the transportation, transfer and support of personnel and materials.
On the contrary, the enemy lacks such conditions. Their front is very long, and material supply alone is a huge problem.
Therefore, I think we should use the terrain of Jinzhou area to engage in a tug-of-war with the enemy. "
However, as soon as he finished saying this, another Japanese military staff officer sneered: "It's ridiculous, it seems that your mind is not very bright.
The enemy¡¯s troops have destroyed a large area of ??the railway from Shenyang to Jinzhou. In just three days, more than ten kilometers of railway were dismantled by the enemy, and even the sleepers disappeared. "
"What? How did they do it? Are there so many enemies operating between Shenyang and Jinzhou?"
The Japanese staff officer was obviously not that well-informed.
¡°The enemy asked the local people to dismantle the railway, and the dismantled rails were used as farm tools, and the dismantled sleepers were burned as firewood.
With the number of people operating in this area of ??the Eighth Route Army, it is natural that they will not dismantle so many railways so quickly, but tens of thousands of people around them can do this. "
The staff officer said.
¡°These damn Chinese should all be killed!!!¡±
The Japanese staff officer said angrily.
If the railway destruction against the Japanese army persists for a long time, the speed of their material support and personnel support to Jinzhou in the future will also be greatly reduced.
The efficiency of road transportation is much worse than that of railways.
At this time, the Japanese staff officer who refuted him said: "I have another plan, which is not only to defend, but also to take the initiative to attack."
"Our elite army has been defeated, how can we take the initiative to attack?"
A mature Japanese military staff officer had his eyes slightly closed and his voice was not loud, but he retorted and questioned very firmly.
The young and energetic Japanese staff officer straightened his chest, walked to the map and said: "The casualty report of our army on the front has not yet come out, but based on the situation these days, there are also future war developments.
In the end, our army¡¯s casualties in this area were??, should be about 80,000 people.
There are about 100,000 troops who can escape from the enemy's encirclement.
If our army can reorganize these 100,000 people, we can still get four to five elite combat divisions.
As for the main force of the Kwantung Army, it actually did not suffer much losses in this battle.
If our army gathers the divisions stationed on the peninsula, other elite divisions of the Kantung Army, and some divisions in the mainland, takes troop transports, and unexpectedly lands in the enemy's Pingjin area, then wouldn't we be able to attack these crowded areas? A large number of enemy troops north of Shanhaiguan and south of Jinzhou launched a counter-encirclement? "
When he said this, Tojo Hideki's eyes lit up.
Started to think about the feasibility of this combat plan.
Although it is a bit risky, Tojo Hideki has to admit that this combat plan is indeed very thoughtful.
If it can be successfully implemented, the entire war situation will be reversed.
In addition, the enemy has concentrated a large number of troops in Jinzhou and Shanhaiguan areas, and the troops in the Pingjin area will inevitably be greatly reduced.
With the rear defense empty, they only need to dispatch a few divisions to quickly capture these two important cities in northern China to disrupt the enemy's rear.
Thinking of this, he looked at the Japanese staff officer again and said, "Xiaojing, continue talking."
The young staff officer named Xiaojing nodded and said: "Yes!!"
After finishing speaking, he pointed to the map and said: "About six divisions of landing troops are needed to land here, and then quickly occupy the Pingjin area where the enemy's rear defense is empty.
Cut off the railway here and cut off the enemy's logistical supplies. Two more divisions were sent north to attack the Qinhuangdao area.
If this place can be completely captured, the entire battlefield situation will undergo a huge reversal.
As for the Jinzhou area, we only need to delay the enemy's attack.
The Kwantung Army has a very tight defense line in the Jinzhou area. It will be very difficult for the enemy to break through the Jinzhou area's defenses from the front. At least, they won't be able to break through in the short term.
As long as we delay it for half a month, we can open up the situation behind the enemy's rear. "
"Well said, keep talking!!"
Tojo Hideki said. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
