Snow Leopard: Building the Strongest Elite Group through Robbery

Chapter 379: Fighting in Henan Again

"Henan."

Takeshita Shun raised his hand and pointed at several places in Kaifeng; "We must not let the Japanese troops from two directions merge. Once they merge, their troops will form a powerful military force around Wuhan. This force will gather together and launch a fierce attack on us again."

As long as this force is separated, the Japanese army will not be able to attack again. As for Guangzhou, it is just a way for the army and navy to compete with each other and save face for each other.

"It looks like we're going to fight with Okamura Neiji." Chaoxiang Xiuling said with a laugh; "What do you think Okamura Neiji will feel this time?"

"Good, that's great." At the 14th Division headquarters, General Okamura Neiji finally revealed a smug smile.

Because of a slight action he took at the beginning, he fell directly from a commander of the northern front to a commander of the 14th Division. This roller coaster-like low point was simply a humiliation for him.

He came here with the attitude of washing away his past shame.

However, the morale of the 14th Division had not been boosted due to the previous battle. He finally managed to boost the morale, but the troops from the First War Zone acted like turtles and retreated inside when you attacked them. He organized two attacks, but the enemy did not come out both times.

He finally understood the true meaning of the saying, "A good cook cannot cook without rice."

But now, the opportunity has come. Just now, he received a telegram, appointing himself as the supreme commander of the Henan battlefield. At the same time, the two divisions coming from the Kwantung Army were also planned to be under his command.

The goal of this battle was to occupy Kaifeng and other places, then quickly advance southwards and join the Central China Front Army in Wuhan. Then the troops would be divided into two groups to attack Sichuan, occupy this land of abundance, and force the other side to surrender.

As luck would have it, his opponent had a chance to win. The Special High Technology Department sent a message that Wuhan had adjusted its military deployment.

Chief Bai, the former chief of staff of the Wuhan Supreme Command and commander-in-chief of the Jiang Defense Fortress, a Guangxi native named Bai, was transferred to be the acting commander of the First War Zone. The main force of the First Corps, which was originally fighting near the Madang Fortress, was also transferred to the Henan battlefield.

The First Corps is the main combat force of Wuhan.

Such deployment means that they have given up the southern Guangzhou and Wuhan battlefields. The next main battlefield will be in Henan.

This is an opportunity.

An opportunity for oneself to become famous, as long as oneself devours this legion, the following glory will be one's own.

"Go, prepare two dishes. Today is a good day worth celebrating." Ningji Okamura looked at the adjutant beside him with a smile. He must have a good drink.

Tadayoshi Sano ran away. The chief of staff of the 14th Division of the Japanese Army was Ichiro Tanaka, who was formerly a senior staff officer of the Army General Staff with the rank of colonel.

After the adjutant left, he pointed to the map and said, "With the strength of our three divisions, we will be able to join the Central China Front Army in Wuhan."

"What are you thinking about?" Okamura Neiji turned his head to look at him and pointed at the map; "The Wuhan side deployed in this way to prevent my left corps from joining with Wuhan. After all, once they join together, they will be unable to cope with the powerful military force. You still want to join together."

What the hell are you dreaming about?

"Your Excellency, the order we received is to join them, right?"

Okamura Neiji waved his hand slightly; "We can't join together, and our front line cannot advance too far south. Once we advance too far, Wuhan will quickly withdraw troops from the southern front and quickly move north. At that time, the pressure will be concentrated on us."

I only have a little more than three divisions, and I can't join Wuhan. The headquarters knows it, but they can't say anything to me. But if I push south, and the enemy forces come up, I will be a dowry for others. "

I have already been tricked by others once. If I let others trick me again, I would be as stupid as a pig.

"He is even dumber than a pig."

On the train heading to the battlefield in Henan, Zhou Weiguo took out a cigarette and handed it to Yu Huohuo who was sitting opposite him in the carriage.

Five days have passed since Wuhan made the adjustments.

Five days ago, the Supreme Command in Wuhan issued an order that the main force of the original First Corps, except for the 29th Corps, should quickly exchange positions with the follow-up forces and return to Wuhan, and then go to Kaifeng, Lanfeng and other places in Henan to deploy defenses.

The 74th Army was originally under the command of the 29th Corps, but Commander Bai, who was the acting commander of the First War Zone, specifically requested the 74th Army. As a result, the 74th Army quickly returned to Wuhan, and the entourage took a train from Wuhan to Henan.

The days on the train were very boring. As an independent regiment accompanying the military headquarters, Zhou Weiguo had nothing to do so he came to the military headquarters. He happened to see Yu Huohuo with a frown on his face.

When asked, Yu Huohuo was worried that if the military force from Henan could not be stopped, the plan to burst the dike of the Yellow River would be brought up again.

In the past, it was the old man’s confidants who were in charge, but now, it is not the case. They are completely the old man’s opponents. He will not be merciful to his opponents. Anyway, someone is taking the blame, so why not do it?

But if this happens, the people downstream in Shandong will suffer.

"What are your other ideas?" Yu Huohuo glanced at him and pointed to the seat next to him. "Go sit over there and don't come near me."

Zhou Weiguo sighed and pulled over a stool to sit down; "General, if he pushes southward with all his might, our troops on the southern front will definitely have to be transferred to the north. Okamura Yasuji suffered a great loss from Terauchi Juichi some time ago."

Yu Huohuo knew clearly how Okamura Yasuji stepped down. It could be said that he had his own reasons, as well as those of Terauchi Hisaichi, and the people in Zhou Weiguo's independent regiment also played a significant role.

How stupid was Okamura Neiji? He knew very well that if he fought too hard, troops would be withdrawn from Wuhan and the pressure on Terauchi Hisaichi would be reduced accordingly. Even if he was stupid, he would not reduce the pressure on his opponent.

"Now that you mention it, I feel relieved." Yu Huohuo heaved a sigh of relief and raised his head. "Where's Takeshita Shun? Why didn't I see him in Wuhan? And the people in your team."

"Oh, I asked them to go south." Zhou Weiguo waved his hand carelessly.

What are they going south for? Yu Huohuo frowned. The war was imminent, and Zhou Weiguo asked them to go south.

"Damn it, you want to rob money again." Facing Zhou Weiguo's rolling eyes and slightly raised mouth corners, he thought of the robberies that occurred in Shanghai and other places.

How could he not have imagined that the bastard Zhou Weiguo had already extended his hand to Guangzhou.

"Do you still have any shame?"
