The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 1387 Okamura Neji panicked (second update)

"Your Excellency, Commander...the telegram was sent by the Miyazaki Division..." the communications staff officer shook his head and reported.

"Miyazaki Division..." Lieutenant Commander Nei Okamura asked while breathing a sigh of relief.

"Isn't their station right next to the Lintian Division? Could it be that the Lintian Division sent them a telegram asking for reinforcements and asked the headquarters whether to send troops for reinforcements?"

The communications staff admired Neji Okamura's brain circuit.

Because Okamura Neji's analysis just now is completely inconsistent with the content of the telegram, it is simply wrong.

He didn't dare to let Okamura Neji continue to guess, so he quickly interrupted.

"The Miyazaki Division just sent an urgent message..."

"They were also violently attacked by more than a dozen aircraft from the Eighth Route Army. The troops suffered heavy casualties and requested aviation support..."

"Nani..." Neji Okamura punched the table hard and asked with a look of disbelief on his face.

"What does the Eighth Route Army want to do?"

"Planes were dispatched to attack our two divisions at the same time. Are they planning to eat both of our divisions in one go? Are they not afraid that they will die from excessive appetite?"

The communications staff officer shook his head and replied: "I don't know even if I am in a humble position..."

"The bulletin only said that the station was violently attacked by more than a dozen aircraft of the Eighth Route Army, causing heavy losses and requesting aviation support. There was no other news."

The chief of staff immediately answered: "Your Excellency, Commander..."

"No matter what the real purpose of the Eighth Route Army in Yizhong is, or how big their appetite is, we must prepare for the worst..."

"I suggest that other divisions stationed near the two divisions prepare to send troops immediately..."

"The communications department immediately contacted the two divisions to report the news that the aviation force was unable to take off, and at the same time find out their latest situation."

"If reinforcements are needed, the nearest main division will send troops immediately..."

Okamura Neji nodded: 'Just do it...'

"Go faster. I want to see what the Yizhong Eighth Route Army is going to do tonight. Even the planes are dispatched."

"By the way, I would like to inform the intelligence personnel operating in the Eighth Route Army base area."

"They have been unable to find any information about the Eighth Route Army Air Force before."

“Now that the Eighth Route Army has taken the initiative to dispatch aircraft to participate in the battle, it is a perfect opportunity for them to follow the clues and find the Eighth Route Army Air Force Airport.

"I don't care how much they pay, this time they must target the Eighth Route Army Air Force garrison."

"Cooperate with the aviation force to kill them."

"Otherwise, in the future battlefield in North China, some of our troops will be attacked by Eighth Route Army aircraft."

"The air control in the North China battlefield can only be in the hands of the North China Front."

The chief of staff personally went to the telegraph room to send a telegram, ensuring that he would receive a call back from the Hayashida Division and Miyazaki Division as soon as possible.

Okamura Neiji was pacing back and forth in the war room with a very anxious expression.

"Your Excellency Commander..."

After waiting for less than ten minutes, he saw the chief of staff running towards him in a hurry, with an unprecedented look of panic on his face.

Correct……

It's just unprecedented.

When Tianjin Pier was raided by the Eighth Route Army, the chief of staff's reaction was not as exaggerated as it is now.

Okamura Neji's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly had a bad feeling, and asked hurriedly before the chief of staff could speak.

"Did something happen to the Hayashida Division and the Miyazaki Division?" The Chief of Staff shook his head and reported: "It was the Sakata Division..."

"An urgent call has just been sent... They were also violently attacked by more than ten aircraft from the Eighth Route Army..."

"Besides..."

"The Eighth Route Army also assembled more than a hundred heavy artillery, mountain field artillery, and mortars to attack their base..."

"The artillery regiment of the Sakata Division, directly under the heavy artillery brigade, and the tank brigade... were severely attacked, suffered heavy losses, and almost lost their combat effectiveness!"

"How is this possible? Is the Eighth Route Army crazy?" Neji Okamura asked with a pair of big eyes that couldn't believe it.

"Attack our three main divisions at the same time..."

"Even if these three divisions suffered heavy casualties in previous battles, their total strength is still 50,000 to 60,000."

"As far as I know, the total number of the Yi Zhong Eighth Route Army we are encircling and suppressing is just over 20,000!"

"To use 20,000 people to attack our 50,000 to 60,000 people, is it because the commander of the Eighth Route Army is crazy, or because our Kwantung Army's combat effectiveness has deteriorated, and we are so underestimated by the Eighth Route Army in the Wing!"

Seeing that Okamura Neiji became more exaggerated and angrier as he spoke, the chief of staff quickly comforted him: "Commander, please calm down..."

"Currently, only one division has been jointly attacked by Eighth Route Army aircraft and artillery at the same time, and there are no Eighth Route Army infantry on the battlefield..."

"It's possible that this is just a way for the Eighth Route Army to sneak attack on us..."

"I don't think they have the appetite to eat our three main divisions at the same time!"

"The specific situation on the frontline needs to continue to be investigated."

"Then check it!" Okamura Neji asked anxiously.

"The Lintian Division was the first to be attacked by Eighth Route Army aircraft. It has been so long, why haven't you reported the latest battle situation to the headquarters!"

Say Cao Cao and Cao Cao will arrive.

As soon as Neji Okamura finished speaking, the figure of the communications staff appeared at the door of the war room, with an unusually solemn expression, and even a trace of panic on his face.

As soon as he entered the door, he opened his mouth and reported: "Your Excellency, Commander..."

"Something happened to the Lintian Division!"

"I just received a call back from them..."

"After the station was violently attacked by Eighth Route Army aircraft, a large number of artillery troops, tank troops, and thousands of infantry suddenly appeared around it..."

"Infantry and artillery work together to launch an attack on the Lintian Division."

"The division's artillery wing and tank brigade were the first to suffer a devastating blow and lost their combat effectiveness."

"The remaining infantry was no match at all. They were defeated by the Eighth Route Army tank and artillery units after just one contact..."

"At present, the losses of the troops have exceeded 10,000, and we are trying to find ways to launch a counterattack against the Eighth Route Army's offensive troops. We will weaken the Eighth Route Army's artillery and armor advantages through close combat, and use the bayonets that the Kwantung Army is good at to destroy the enemy!"

Okamura Neji was so frightened by the news that he almost lost his balance.

The Lintian Division has a full strength of 25,000 men, but after half a month of raids, the total strength has been reduced sharply to less than 20,000 men.

As a result, the Eighth Route Army assembled aircraft, heavy artillery, tanks... and killed nearly 10,000 of them in one assault, causing the total strength of the Lintian Division to drop sharply to less than 10,000.

If the Eighth Route Army uses artillery superiority, air superiority, and armor superiority to continue attacking the Lintian Division from a distance, they will be in too much danger.

As for the Hayashida Division's idea of ​​fighting the Eighth Route Army at close range, in the opinion of Neji Okamura, this was completely their wishful thinking.

If they want cannons, they have cannons, as well as aircraft and tanks to provide fire cover, and ammunition is very sufficient. They will definitely not let the Hayashida Division easily get close to them, give up their firepower advantage and fight with them at close range.

In just a moment, Okamura Neji felt the huge crisis facing the Hayashida Division.
