Chapter 161

Okamoto was suffocated when he heard this. Can you communicate well like this?

After a while, Okamoto re-adjusted his mood and said, "Your Highness, Zhong Yi is just a small regiment commander and is not worthy of becoming an opponent of the 10th Army, but then again, if Zhong Yi and his 367th Regiment are left alone and let them make trouble in the occupied area of ​​the 10th Army, it is probably not appropriate."

"Kun Okamoto, I understand what you mean. The problem is that this matter is really difficult to deal with!" Jiu Yan said, "You said that Zhong Yi is still a little capable. The combat power of the 367th Regiment is not weak, otherwise it would not cause continuous damage to the imperial army. Therefore, if we really pursue and suppress, the troops must not be short."

"I am not very proficient in military affairs." Okamotojimasa said modestly, and said, "But if only one infantry brigade is sent to condemn one, it will be difficult to win, so at least one infantry corps will be needed!"

"A infantry corps may not be enough. If you really want to kill all the 367th Regiment, at least one infantry brigade will be needed." After pausing at this, Jiu Yan said again, "But this will inevitably affect the battle to capture Nanjing! For the Imperial Army, the most important task now is to capture Nanjing. We must not lose small things because of small things!"

Okamoto was just feeling like he had eaten a fly, but unexpectedly he was taught a lesson by Hikari.

"Okamoto, I'll lose my companion first." Hirohiko smiled slightly, turned around and walked towards the female guests on the other side.

Hatohiko had just left before his feet, and the commander of the 3rd Division, Muri Fujita, immediately walked over and asked in a low voice: "Kun Okamoto, how about you? Have you convinced the prince?"

Okamotoji shook his head and said, "No."

Fujita said: "It's true that's not what I expected."

"Hai." Okamotojima paused his head slightly and said with shame, "I really have the entrusted entrustion of Matsui Kan."

"If you don't agree, you won't agree." Fujita Muri patted Okamoto's shoulder and said, "Okamoto, go, I'll take you over to meet a few ladies, they are all beautiful women."

But Okamoto Jimaru waved his hand and said, "I really don't understand why His Majesty the Emperor asked this person to come?"

"What's wrong with this?" Fujita said, "Nanjing is the capital of China. After capturing Nanjing, the Chinese government will likely announce its surrender directly. How can such a grand event be without the participation of the royal family?"

Okamotoji said depressedly: "But the royal family clearly has a suitable candidate, right?"

"You are referring to His Highness Higashiro Higashiro, right?" Fujita Nodded and said, "Among the royal family, King Nian Yan is indeed the most military talent. Unfortunately, people like love between men and women, rather than fighting and killing. His Majesty the Emperor issued several edicts to ask him to return to his country, but people ignored it!"

"There was this one." Okamotoshi Masato, "I really don't know if this is a blessing or a disaster for the Imperial Army."

"Is it a blessing or a disaster?" Fujita said in surprise, "Kun Okamoto, you are so serious. In order to capture the Nanjing Battle, the imperial army has a great advantage. Although this person is mediocre, he does not rely on him alone in the war, but on hundreds of thousands of soldiers from the nine and a half divisions on the front line, so there will be no problem!"

"I hope this is the case." Okamotoji said helplessly.

...

As soon as the dinner ended, Asakamiya Hirohiko issued a second order to Yamada Tetsujiro, the chief of staff of the 10th Army who had just arrived in Shanghai and came to welcome him. The Kantozaki Detachment returned to the east and cooperated with the 6th Division to encircle and annihilate the enemy in Changxing!

After hearing this order, Yamada Tetsujiro felt bad in an instant. What is the operation?

After a while, Yamada Tetsujiro finally came to his senses and said bitterly: "Your Highness, the Kuozaki Detachment suffered a small defeat in Guangde, but the main force of the detachment did not suffer any losses and can still fight!"

Asakamiya Hirohiko immediately said with some contempt: "Yamada, by theory, you are also a top student who graduated from the Imperial Army University, why don't you understand the reason?"

Yamada Tetsujiro said with a dark face: "I would like to ask His Highness the Prince for advice."

Koxianggong Kuiyan said: "There is a saying that before the troops move, food and grass will go first. Changxing is the water and land transportation hub west of Taihu Lake. Military supplies transported from Shanghai and Jinshanwei must pass through Changxing whether they are transported to Wuhu or Nanjing. Therefore, if Changxing is not taken first, logistics support will be poor!"

Yamada Tetsujiro was said to be speechless on the spot, his eyes shining with tears.

But deep down, Yamada Tetsujiro was roaring silently, stupid Your Highness, what our 10th Army is now carrying out is to give up the tactic of logistics support. I have told you a long time ago that the 10th Army's baggage unit has brought enough spare ammunition, and apart from that, I didn't even bring a grain of food!

So at this time, is Guan Changxing a paradise and land transportation hub? Just push forward!

But in this way, just thinking about it in my heart, taking a breath, Yamada Tetsujiro said: "Your Highness, the Chinese army has become a frightened bird at the moment, and the imperial army just needs to advance forward! If you stay too long in the middle, it may give the Chinese army the opportunity to regroup, which will be detrimental to the battle to capture Nanjing later!"

"Yamada, your idea is very dangerous!" Asakamiya Hirohiko said seriously, "For generals, we must not consider winning or losing first. We must not ignore the importance of logistics support channels because of the poor combat effectiveness of the Chinese army! In short, the Guozaki Detachment must return to the front, and Changxing, a water and land transportation hub, must be taken as soon as possible!"

If it's all like this, what else can Yamada Tetsujiro do? He can only nod and hayi.

...

Asakamiya Hirohiko's order soon arrived at Guangde.

After reading the telegram, Toshiro Kunizaki and Toshiro Nami were also stunned for a moment.

Only Mitsuru Usa said with a dark face: "Captain, you must not return!"

After pausing, Usa Mirō said again: "It was finally difficult to force Rao Guohua's 145th Division out of Guangde City. Now it is time to annihilate the 145th Division in one go. How can we return to the division Changxing?"

Kwanzaki Toshiro glanced at Nami and sighed softly.

If it were Yanagawa Hei's orders, Kunizaki Toshi would definitely not pay attention!

But the problem is, this is the order of Asakamiya Hikari, and this is the order of the royal family!
Chapter completed!
