Glorious Mission 1937

The strong domestic support made General Binshan Yuan very happy. This meant that before Chen Feng's troops were uprooted, all the war resources of the empire would be tilted towards the Northern China Front Army, and he could use more resources to complete the mission of the empire. It is also the fulfillment of his own wish.

After receiving the telegram from China, General Binshan Yuan immediately ordered Lieutenant General Naozaburo Okabe, Chief of Staff, to discuss how to deal with the Chinese.

Beiping. North China Front Army Command.

"Dump Dump"

"Come in!"

Lieutenant General Kobe Naozaburo gently opened the door and walked in, walked to General Binshan Yuan's desk and said loudly, "Your Excellency, Commander, you are looking for me!"

"Well, Kobe-kun, look at this!" After speaking, Bin Shanyuan handed the telegram from China to Naozaburo Kobe.

Lieutenant General Naozaburo Kobe took the telegram and read it quickly. Although there was not much content in it, it contained a lot of information.After reading it, Lieutenant General Naozaburo Kobebe asked excitedly: "Your Excellency, Commander, this is true!"

"Of course it's true. It was personally sent by Xianyuan Palace, how could it be fake!" Bin Shanyuan said.

"Your Excellency Commander..."

"Mr. Gangbu, sit down and talk!"

"Hay! Your Excellency, if the base camp really fully supports our Northern China Front Army, then the Eighth China Theater will be nothing to worry about!" Lieutenant General Naozaburo Okabe said confidently.

"Mr. Gangbu, please don't underestimate the eighth war zone. According to the information we have received, although this war zone is only one of the nine war zones of the Chinese government, in terms of strength, it is not comparable to any war zone of the Chinese government. According to reliable sources, the eighth war zone has at least 9 regular troops, and the army and air force are complete. In addition, there is news from the empire that that hateful Chen Feng even has a naval fleet in the South Pacific region, although its strength is not worth mentioning. , but it can be seen that this person has great ambitions and will never be satisfied with the status quo." General Bin Shanyuan said.

"Your Excellency, I have never underestimated this Chinese person. To be honest, I admire that Chinese general very much. In less than three years, I can develop a security team with less than 2000 people into more than 50 elites." Such a person is definitely a genius, if it weren't for our different positions, I really want to be friends with him!" said Naozaburo Okabe.

"Hehe, Mr. Gangbu. We, the Yamato nation, worship the strong from the bottom of our hearts. No matter how we look at it, this general of China is a strong man. He used the weak to defeat the strong and stopped the chariot of the Great Japanese Empire on the Shanxi plateau. And Saibei Grassland, even sent dozens of imperial generals to the Yasukuni Shrine. Such people deserve our respect.” Then General Bin Shanyuan turned around and continued: “But the purpose of respecting the opponent is to better understand the opponent, and then After defeating him, the reason why our Great Japanese Empire can go from a small island country to the world today is this unyielding bushido spirit."

"Hay! Your Excellency the Commander is wise!"

"Mr. Gangbu, now that China's Eighth War Zone is full-fledged, it will definitely not be completely wiped out in one or two battles. After these few battles, we have reason to believe that China's First War Zone, Second War Zone, and Eighth War Zone The Red Party in the theater and China have reached a tacit understanding. They seem to have reached a strategic alliance. When one party is attacked by the imperial army, the other parties will attack at the same time, or harass or attack to support the attacked One side, so what we are facing now is not only the 50 troops of the Eighth War Zone of China, but also the million troops of the First War Zone, the Second War Zone, the Eighth War Zone, and Tuba Road at the same time, so we must be careful Deal with it!" General Bin Shanyuan said.

"Hayi, the humble officials have already realized this. Although this is their advantage, it is also their weakness. Our attack on one side is equivalent to provoking all the troops in the north of China, but we can also mobilize the troops in the north of China by attacking one point." Millions of troops, as long as the strategy is properly deployed, they will get unexpected surprises." Naozaburo Kobe said.

"Oh, does Mr. Gangbu already have a way to deal with that person?" Bin Shanyuan asked with interest.

"Hay, I have an idea, I wonder if your excellency would like to hear it?"

"Of course I do, please tell me!" Bin Shanyuan said.

"Your Excellency, although the Chinese people have formed a de facto strategic alliance, through observation, I found that they lack the necessary communication. This can be seen from the previous battles. Fighting each other, we have almost no tactical cooperation while making strategic coordination, we are fully capable of starting from this aspect and catching them by surprise!"

"Keep going!"

"The reason why the imperial army failed in the previous few battles is, on the one hand, because the Chinese people are united and powerful, while our army is limited and stretched. Being led by the nose by the Chinese people, we were dragged down and exhausted step by step. It can be said , in the face of this kind of tactics of the Chinese people, we have lost the initiative of the war, so we have to change. If we rely solely on our North China Front Army, it is true that we can change the status quo, but if the base camp is willing to support us, then all the problems It's all solved!" Lieutenant General Kobe Naozaburo said.

"Mr. Gangbu, what you said is very reasonable. I wonder what plan you have?" General Bin Shanyuan asked in a deep voice.

"Your Excellency, the Chinese people have an old saying: Persimmons should be picked softly. Chen Feng's army is too powerful. Even if we completely wiped out this Chinese army in the end, the final result would be a disastrous victory. The loss is definitely not ours alone. The front army can afford it, so we have to slowly remove Chen Feng's arms one by one, and accumulate strength while destroying the enemy, so that we can finally wipe them out in one fell swoop."

"Mr. Gangbu intends to attack the other war zones in China or the Tuba Road first?"

"Yo Xi, Chen Feng's troops alone are nothing to worry about. After all, their geographical location has already limited their range of activities. Only with the cooperation of the first theater of China and the second theater of China can Chen Feng's troops perform like this." He has great power, so we have to find a way to get rid of these allies first, and finally make him unable to support himself alone." Naozaburo Okabe said.

"Mr. Gangbu, what are you going to do?"

"Your Excellency, there are currently six Chinese armies in the North China area. The first is of course Chen Feng's Eighth War Zone, the second is Yan Xishan's Second War Zone, the third is Wei Lihuang's First War Zone, and the fourth is China's soil. The eighth army, the fifth is Sun Weiru from Shaanxi, and the fifth is the Majiajun from Qinghai and Ningxia. Among these six troops, Sun Weiru from Shaanxi and Majiajun from Qingning are not on the border with us, so the imperial army has nothing to do with them. We can only look for the soft persimmon from the remaining four armies. Of course, the eighth theater is not a soft persimmon, and this can be ruled out. Among the remaining three armies, Tubalu is the weakest, but because they are extremely scattered, It is not worth fighting against them. The first theater of the remaining two Chinese armies is relatively weak. In addition, the Henan area is the Central Plains of China, and its geographical location is extremely important. Therefore, the next step is to eliminate this first War zone." Lieutenant General Naozaburo Kobebe analyzed.

"Mr. Gangbu, didn't you fail when you attacked the first theater last time? Don't you worry about repeating the same mistakes?" General Bin Shanyuan asked with a frown.

"Your Excellency, there are many reasons for the failure of the last war. The main reason is that we were short of troops and had to fight on multiple fronts. This time we can completely avoid these mistakes. What's more, we just suffered a huge blow in Henan. Even if your Excellency did not expect that we would target the first war zone, the Chinese people certainly would not have imagined that it would be possible to achieve the desired effect by surprise."

"What should we do specifically?" Bin Shanyuan said.

"Beizhi intends not to show up after the arrival of domestic reinforcements, and also not to land in the Pingjin area, but to land directly from Qingdao. At that time, the front army will concentrate part of the main force to attack the eighth theater of China. This will greatly reduce China's first Be wary of the first war zone, and at the same time focus all the attention of the North China area on the Saibei area. Once the imperial army attacks the eighth war zone, the first war zone, the second war zone and Tuba Road of China will definitely jump out to make trouble, wait for them to jump It's almost the same time. The imperial army's reinforcements from the country quickly landed from Qingdao, and then went straight to the first war zone in China. With the powerful attack power of the third chariot division and the cooperation of a large number of fighters, the imperial army is likely to defeat Lanzhou in one fell swoop. Close the Chinese army near the line."

After a pause, Lieutenant General Naozaburo Kobe continued: "The Lanfeng Line is the first line of defense in China's first war zone against the imperial army, and it is also the only line of defense east of Zhengzhou. As long as the China near the Lanfeng Line is defeated The army, our mechanized army can easily advance to the city of Zhengzhou. By then, most of Henan will be in our hands. Even if the Chinese people understand it, it will be too late. With more troops to reinforce Wei Lihuang's troops, we can only watch helplessly as the imperial army captures the hinterland of China's Central Plains."

"Yoxi, Mr. Gangbu is indeed the best staff officer in the empire, amazing!" General Bin Shanyuan said with emotion.

"Your Excellency, Commander, we are all members of the Emperor, and everything we do is for the Empire, and for His Majesty the Emperor. Your praise makes the humble official very terrified!" Lieutenant General Naozaburo Okabe said respectfully.

"Mr. Gangbu, if you win this battle, I will personally ask His Majesty the Emperor for your credit!"

"Thank you, Commander, for your cultivation!" Naozaburo Okabe said loudly.

"Mr. Gangbu, it will take two months for the reinforcements from the empire to reach Northern China. You still have one and a half months to prepare. This battle is up to you!"

"Your Excellency, Commander, please rest assured that I will not live up to the expectations of Your Excellency and His Majesty the Emperor. We will take down the first theater of China in one fell swoop, and use Wei Lihuang's head as your birthday gift!"

"Yo Xi!"
