Chapter 1028 You'd better hurry up and leave.
Takeshita Shun walked up to the map with his hands behind his back. After looking at it again and again, he smiled and said, "This time, I agree with Ono's opinion."
Fang Shengli clicked his tongue and asked, "Takeshita, don't you understand the situation?"
“I know it very well.” Takeshita Shun picked up the command pole from the side and said, “What can they do if they move aside? Can the Japanese army really push up from the snowy region?”
At an altitude of several thousand meters above sea level, let alone marching with a heavy load, even walking would be difficult, and a slightly loud noise could trigger an avalanche, which would be fatal. The Japanese army must have been insane to choose to attack from here.
"If that's the case, then the Japanese army's offensive will only have two lines of defense. One is to turn back and advance from the direction of Mandalay to attack, occupy our northwest, and then split their forces to the left and right. The second is to attack from the direction of Annam. However, we have already deployed heavy troops and built defensive fortifications in the direction of Annam at Zhennanguan and several other high and low places behind it."
“We can’t stop them,” Fang Shengli said dejectedly, sitting down beside them.
Takeshita Shun chuckled. "We can't stop them because the Japanese army is very strong in combat and mechanization. I understand what you mean. My Independent Brigade can hold off their attack, but in this mountain city, there is only one Independent Brigade. But don't forget one fact: mountain warfare is what the Guangxi Army excels at."
The Guangxi Army may not be good at positional warfare or plains combat, but don't compare them to the Guangxi Wolf Soldiers in mountain warfare. In this respect, if the Guangxi Wolf Soldiers dare to say they are number one, no one dares to say they are number two. Even the Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan soldiers, who are also active on the plateau, don't dare to compare with them.
When mechanization encounters mountainous terrain, it becomes a burden. These Guangxi soldiers, who traverse mountains and forests as if walking on flat ground, will show you how many lives the vast mountains can leave behind.
In the Battle of Wuhan, Zhuge Liang's strategy was to rely on the Dabie Mountains to disperse the troops. As a result, the Japanese suffered greatly and were almost driven crazy by the troops in the forest. If the defenses along the Yangtze River had not been unable to stop the enemy, and there were concerns that they would have been able to outflank and encircle the enemy from the Yangtze River, it would be a real question mark whether the Japanese could have taken Wuhan.
What good is it if your troops are powerful, or if you have mechanized transportation?
If you can't keep up, you just can't keep up. If you can't keep up, you'll get taken care of.
“It’s unlikely that they will attack towards Annam. The Guangxi Army is difficult to deal with, and Commander Zhang is also in charge of the Fourth War Zone. If we go there first, we have to ask whether the troops under his command agree or not. So, they will probably advance from the direction of Mandalay or attack from the northwest, launching an attack from the border. But there is another problem. Where will they get their supplies in this uninhabited place?”
With so many troops, are they planning to starve or something?
Fang Shengli's tension was reduced by half by Takeshita Shun's analysis. After drawing several circles on the surface, he said, "It seems that the Mandalay direction will be our key defensive focus."
This is the issue that needs to be considered above.
Furthermore, the Japanese army might not actually launch another attack on Yamashiro, since Yamashiro didn't really have anything good to offer them. Also, Yamashiro's army was not easy to deal with.
"Yoshi." Zhou Weiguo's shout made Chaoxiang frown as she looked at him and asked, "Do you have some serious illness?"
Given your situation, you're not even nervous at all, and you even let out such a sigh. What are you trying to do?
It startled him; seeing such a lewd smile, he himself thought he had gone mad.
Zhou Weiguo coughed; "No, I was just surprised that Winston would actually let you in. I didn't expect that."
I thought it was something else.
After lighting a cigarette, Asaka tossed the empty pack onto the table. Seemingly realizing something was amiss, he picked it up and stuffed it back into his pocket. Even though it was empty, he didn't want Zhou Weiguo to use it to scare people.
Although no one would believe he was a notorious traitor, who could guarantee his safety? He needed to solve the problem at its root. He wouldn't give the empty cigarette box to Zhou Weiguo, lest he go out and cause panic in the empire.
cut……
This action made Zhou Weiguo scoff, then he said, "I'm really not that kind of person. I just happened to be in the wrong place at the right time."
Originally, according to Commander Bai and his intentions, this person was definitely to be eliminated. However, the Japanese army suddenly went berserk and wanted to attack the Soviet Union in the north, which made Zhou Weiguo realize the crisis.
Judging from the fact that the Japanese army was able to take Kamii Jiro's advice to heart and act immediately afterward, it seems that Sakata and his men were able to heed his suggestions.
If they can listen to reason, then he can't kill them. If he does, who will persuade Bantan and the others to obey?
That's why he kept Kawai Jiro.
The results are excellent. I heard that the palace is already summoning the Prime Minister and several others to discuss this matter. If he is not mistaken, in the near future, Josephine, who is still sitting in her office happily smoking tobacco, will probably no longer be able to enjoy her vodka so comfortably.
I don't trust you. I'll only feel comfortable holding these things in my own hands.
“You don’t seem to be in a hurry at all. Winston is plotting against you.”
"It's still uncertain who's scheming against whom," Zhou Weiguo said, completely unconcerned about the matter.
At worst, we can just retreat temporarily. This time it won't be as tragic as in the previous life. The 100,000-strong army is still intact. Even if they push forward, they can intercept the Japanese army in the northern region of Mandalay. Moreover, it will be the rainy season then, which will be enough to make anyone tremble with fear.
Therefore, he was not afraid at all. As long as the army was still there, he did not need to worry about the Japanese attack.
"Alright." Prince Asaka said nothing more. If he said too much, this guy might come up with some tricks. It was better to go along with him and let him do whatever he wanted.
Asaka Shurei sat down beside him, took a sip of tea, and asked, "Father, is there any news from the North China Area Army?" She'd been busy dealing with Kawai Jiro's matter, and then helping the Japanese army adjust its course to prevent them from acting rashly. Now that those two matters were resolved, it was time to get some information about the situation on the front lines.
Asaka frowned. He didn't want to reveal too much, but seeing Zhou Weiguo staring straight at him, he had no choice but to say, "The three divisions have already set off and will probably launch a new attack on you soon. If you want to go back, you can go back now."
Hurry up and leave. Once you're gone, I can finally live my own life in peace. As long as you're here, I can get a good rest every single day.
