Okamura Yasuji smiled and said self-deprecatingly: "Usa Mikun, you have thought too much. It is impossible for the base camp to draw chariot troops to strengthen the 13th Army. The Kanto Army is in such a serious situation. The base camp wants to transfer all the chariots from the entire Chinese battlefield to Manchuria. How could there be extra for our 13th Army?"

Usa Mito nodded and said, "You can do without the chariot troops, but the troops... may still have to be strengthened."

Hinata Chiaki on the side also echoed: "Commander, the Chinese government has adjusted its troop deployment and has formed a so-called Zhejiang-Fujian War Zone alone. The troops under its jurisdiction have three armies of nearly 300,000. What about the 13th Army? After the 116th Division was revoked, there were only four divisions and a mixed brigade left, with less than 120,000 troops. The difference between the two sides was a bit disparate."

"Don't worry about the troops." Okamura Yasuji waved his hand and said, "Before leaving Wuhan, I got news that the base camp was considering drawing the Guard Division to strengthen the 13th Army. If nothing unexpected happens, the order to dispatch troops should be coming soon."

Before he finished speaking, another communications consultant walked in quickly.

"Hiss Commander." The correspondent officer walked to Okamura Yasuji and reported, "The base camp is in urgent need of electricity."

Okamura Yanji reached out to take the telegram, and after reading it, he showed joy on his face and handed it to Usa Mitsuru.

Usa Mitsuru was so happy after reading the telegram that the base camp actually transferred the Guard Division.

Hinata Shiaki couldn't help but say, "I didn't expect that the base camp really transferred the Guard Division to our 13th Army. This division is worth two divisions!"

Usa Mitsuru also said: "This time, there will be no problem with the military strength."

"Since there is no problem with the military strength, the secret of the mysterious artillery equipped by the Chinese Army has also been cracked. Should we discuss the tactics next?" Okamura Nishi said with a smile.

Usa Mitsunobu said in surprise: "Commander, you have just arrived in Shanghai today. Wouldn't you take a day off first?"

"Military information is urgent, how can I have time to rest? Where can I have the mood to rest?" Okamura Nishi shook his head and said, "Usa Mikun, if you find the second Zhejiang-Fujian battle now, what are you going to fight?" After that, he turned his head and said to Hinata Shimiya, "Higa Shimiya, you can also discover your opinion."

Hinata Zhiming said without hesitation: "I think the tactics adopted by our 13th Army in the first Zhejiang-Fujian Campaign were completely correct, so the second Zhejiang-Fujian Campaign could still use the original tactics, namely, the troops were divided into two groups, one along the banks of the Fuchun River to advance westward to cut off the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Highway, and the other was promoted from Wenzhou to Jinhua, occupying most of the southwestern Zhejiang Province, and ultimately forcing Yinjiang to become an isolated city."

Okamura Yasuji looked at Usa Mitsuki and said, "Usa Mikun, what do you think?"

Usa Mito shook his head and said, "During the first battle between Zhejiang and Fujian, the regular Chinese army in Zhejiang Province had only one 10th Army and Zhong Yi's Zhejiang East Sea Defense Corps. The total strength was less than 100,000. However, our 13th Army had five divisions and a mixed brigade, with a force of nearly 200,000, so we can divide the troops with confidence without worrying about being surrounded by the Chinese army, but the current situation is completely different."

"What's the difference?" Hinata said, "Although our 13th Army lacks the 116th Division, there is an additional guard division, and one guard division can match two 116th Divisions. Now our 13th Army's military strength has actually increased, so why can't we divide the troops?"

Usa Mitsunobu said: "If the troops are divided again, it will inevitably repeat the failure of the first Zhejiang-Fujian Battle, because the commanders on the front line will find it difficult to fully obey the command of the headquarters. After the two armies are divided, they will inevitably divide the troops again. Once the troops are reduced to a certain level, such as a division, they may be surrounded by the Chinese army."

Hinata Shiaki said: "It's just right to be surrounded, but in turn, it will give the Chinese army a four-sided encirclement and the center will bloom."

"But the question is, what if the surrounded troops cannot support the reinforcements?" Usa Mitsuro shook his head and said, "When the 116th Division was surrounded, we all thought they could last for half a month, but what's the result? In less than seven days, the 116th Division was broken. The 41st Army of China should never be underestimated!"

Speaking of this, Usa Mirō said again: "What's more, now Zhong Yi has become the commander-in-chief of the 10th Army, and has also included the three detachments of the East Zhejiang Coast Defense Corps into the 10th Army. In other words, now that Zhejiang Province has two elite Chinese troops, the Imperial Army must be even more careful."

Hinata Shiaki said: "Then you don't divide the troops. Just push forward all the way and occupying most of the southwestern and central parts of Zhejiang Province can also make Yinjiang an isolated besieged city."

"What's the matter?" Usa Mitsunobu asked, "What should I do after occupying the central and southern parts of Zhejiang Province?"

Hinata Shiaki said: "Of course, we should adopt a long-term siege strategy, and wait for the main force of the Chinese army trapped in Yinjiang City to run out of ammunition and food, and then our 13th Army can easily occupy it without any effort."

Usa Mirō said: "Zhong Yi ordered millions of tons of corn from the United States, which can last for more than three years!"

Hinata said: "The grain stored in Yinjiang may be able to last for three years, but their industrial raw materials, especially weapons and ammunition, cannot last for three years, and it will only last for half a year at most!"

Speaking of this, Hinata Zhiming said loudly: "If our 13th Army strengthens its offensive against Yinjiang during this period, the ammunition consumption of the Yinjiang defenders will increase, and the time the Chinese army can support will be shorter. Perhaps in three months, the Chinese defenders of Yinjiang will be in a desperate situation of ammunition and assistance!"

"This is just the ideal result." Usa Mirō shook his head and said, "But what if, if the Chinese army did not choose to defend, but instead held the Yinjiang River with a small number of elite troops, but scattered the main force to the periphery, attacked the logistics supply line of our 13th Army, or attacked the occupied areas behind us?"

"This..." Hinata Shimiya was speechless.

Usa Mirō said: "Because Yinjiang built solid fortifications in advance, after the First Yinjiang Battle, the Chinese Army would definitely continue to strengthen the fortifications at all costs. Therefore, only a small amount of troops is enough to block the attack of the Imperial Army. However, our 13th Army needs to divide the troops to guard the vast area of ​​Zhejiang Province and guard the troops everywhere. In fact, it is just that there is no defense everywhere, and it is easy to be defeated by the Chinese Army one by one, eroded and eaten one by one."
