Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 1179 Okamura Ningji's Generous Writing (Second Update!)
"Is there anything else!" Lieutenant General Fujino frowned when he saw that the chief of staff was still standing in front of him, and asked dissatisfiedly.

"There is one thing!" The chief of staff hesitated and replied in a low voice.

"Food, in order to buy people's hearts and implement the front army's soft policy, we are running out of food! The reorganization of the two regiments of the Imperial Association Army needs a lot of food. If we haven't replenished it, we will last for a month with the remaining food. No!"

"Now the land route where the front army transports us food and supplies has been occupied by the Eighth Route Army. Even if heavy troops are deployed to protect the food, it will be difficult to pass through the roads and railways within their base areas. Please prepare for this, the division commander, otherwise, Without food, all our previous efforts will be in vain!"

Lieutenant General Fujino replied with a sullen face: "Don't worry about the food, I will find a way to solve it!"

After finishing speaking, Fujino turned his gaze back to the battle sand table in front of him, and fell into deep thought.

The Japanese North China Front Command, Terauchi Shouichi was in a very good mood.

Since he took office as the commander of the North China Front Army, the various situations faced by the Imperial Army in North China have become better and better.

The base areas established by the Eighth Route Army in North China have been reduced to varying degrees.Some bases have even shrunk by more than a third.

More importantly, because of its own economic blockade of the Eighth Route Army, the Eighth Route Army has become more and more difficult in the soft blockade and encirclement of large and small areas in North China.

Even the troops have no food, no salt, let alone ordinary people.

Neiji Okamura is confident that as long as he continues to mop up the Eighth Route Army, the Eighth Route Army's activities in North China will shrink by at least half in as little as half a year or as long as a year.Give yourself another year to fight steadily and wipe them all out.

With a smile on his face and dreaming a sweet dream, the Chief of Staff of the Front Army hurried in with an ugly expression on his face.

"Your Excellency, the latest battle report for Linfen City!"

"Fujino-kun's retaliatory counterattack failed. This large occupied area was directly occupied by the Eighth Route Army and became their so-called base!"

"Bageya Road, what does Fujino do? On other battlefields, the Eighth Route Army's base areas were occupied, but it was reversed in his place. It was the imperial army that lost the occupied areas to the Eighth Route Army to form a base area!" Ningji Okamura said. The smile disappeared all at once, and then the anger burst out, and he cursed mercilessly.

The relationship between the chief of staff and Fujino is obviously good, and he quickly comforted him: "Commander, calm down, Fujino-kun took over a remnant and defeated general, it is very good to be able to fight like this!"

"Also, this occupied area was not taken from Fujino by the devils, but was given up by Fujino on his own initiative!"

"In order to keep the nearly [-] soldiers of the imperial army, Fujino-kun ordered the troops to voluntarily abandon the occupied area, keep the troops, and defend Linfen to the death. After the imperial association army and the imperial army have formed combat effectiveness, they will seek a counterattack and regain the occupied area!"

Neiji Okamura's angry face gradually became better: "It seems that Fujino has memorized everything I said!"

"Before I set off, I told her repeatedly that we must apply what we have learned in combat with the Eighth Route Army, and use the tactics that the Eighth Route Army is best at to deal with the Eighth Route Army. Only in this way will our counterattack be effective!"

"I only have one sentence for the Eighth Route Army's guerrilla warfare. If you lose your land, you will lose your land. If you save your land, you will lose your land. Fujino already understands the meaning of this sentence, and knows that the imperial army is more important than the territory!"

"As long as there are troops and veterans, no matter how many occupied areas we lose, we can regain them!"

Neiji Okamura became more and more excited as he spoke. When the smile appeared on his face again, the chief of staff spoke again.

"However, although the troops were saved, the only road connecting Linfen to other areas occupied by the imperial army was also occupied by the Eighth Route Army. Now Linfen City is backed by the Jinsui Army, and the other three sides are directly surrounded by the Eighth Route Army, becoming an isolated city!"

"They are in urgent need of food and ammunition supplies. I hope the front army can find a way to send them the food and ammunition supplies owed to them to Linfen City!"

The smile on Neiji Okamura's face suddenly disappeared, and he cursed loudly: "The roads and railways are all occupied by the Eighth Route Army, how can they be sent there!"

Then he frowned and fell into thought.

The mopping up of the entire North China went very smoothly, but there was a problem in Linfen City.

Ningji Okamura is very clear about the fact that the embankment of a thousand miles collapsed in an ant's nest. He will never let Linfen affect the good situation of the entire North China.

He stared at the sand table and asked, "Chief of Staff, take roads and railways, pass through the base of the Eighth Route Army, and send food and ammunition supplies to Linfen City. How many troops are needed to escort them to ensure that there are no accidents on the road!"

"The railway will definitely not go!" replied the chief of staff.

"The limitations of the railway are too great. As long as they blow up a section of the tens of kilometers of railway that passes through the base of the Eighth Route Army, the imperial army's column will roll over, causing heavy losses, and there is no way to move on!"

"Only take the road!"

"But there is also a problem with the road. For millions of catties of grain, more than 1000 Everbright vehicles are needed. This road is nearly [-] kilometers away from the base of the Eighth Route Army. If the Eighth Route Army completely destroys this section of the road, our transport team can only repair it at the same time." March along the road!"

"If you give up the carriage and use mules and horses, although the dependence on the integrity of the road is not very great, the distance within the base area of ​​the Eighth Route Army is too long, and it will take at least two nights. With the combat power of the new regiment, at least two The infantry regiment must provide escort along the way to ensure safety!"

"Send, no matter how many troops are needed!" Okamura Neiji gritted his teeth and replied.

"The entire battle in North China has reached a critical moment. No matter which battlefield the new regiment is active in Linfen, it will break the balance of the battle and bring a devastating blow to the imperial army."

"Therefore, North China needs Fujino to lead the troops to continue to defend Linfen, holding back the powerful Eighth Route Army of the Xinyi Regiment!"

"Chief of Staff, you have transferred an infantry regiment from Beiping and a garrison brigade from Taiyuan. You are preparing [-] new recruits, strengthening an artillery brigade, and forming a mixed brigade to escort food and ammunition to Linfen!"

"When we arrive in Linfen City, all the troops will be left under the command of Fujino!"

"In addition, in order to get rid of the dependence of carts on roads, all food, weapons and ammunition are transported by mules and horses!"

"Take Taiyuan as the center, recruit mules and horses in all the occupied areas, and then draw out the mules and horses equipped by several nearby troops to form a large-scale transport team with [-] mules and horses. All food and ammunition supplies will be sent to Linfen City!"

"Chief of Staff, go to Taiyuan yourself and take care of this matter."

"An infantry regiment drawn from Beiping will go to Taiyuan with you by train!"

Neiji Okamura deserves to be the commander of the North China Front Army. When he made a move, he was a mixed brigade with more than 5000 mules and horses.
