Wang Geng said: "How do you say this?"

Zhong Yi said: "The British army's advantage on the African battlefield is related to the poor combat effectiveness of the 8th Army, Montgomery's arrogance, and also to Rommel's outstanding tactical command. But the most important thing is that the British army's supply line was far longer than that of the German and Italian coalition."

"When the North African war first started, the British army's supplies had to cross the hot and vast Sahara Desert. This was simply an epic test of the British logistics department. In the end, the British logistics department could not withstand the test and was defeated by the high temperature and high heat and rolling yellow sand in the Sahara Desert."

"But now, as the British retreated to the Egyptian Alahman, everything turned around."

"Now the British army can replenish supplies nearby, and even receive assistance from the United States at sea!"

"The logistics supply of the German-Italy coalition forces needs to cross the vast and hot Sahara Desert. Facts will prove that the German-Italy logistics department can no longer withstand the test."

"No matter how excellent Rommel's tactical command ability is, it cannot reverse the disadvantage of logistics supply."

"So it is a foregone conclusion that the defeat of the German and Italian coalition forces is the only suspense that it was defeated thoroughly."

The expression on Wang Geng's face was much more relaxed than before, and then he asked: "What about the Asian battlefield? The Japanese army is at its peak in the Asian battlefield!"

"This is also an illusion," Zhong Yi said, "That's right. The Japanese army's current offensive is indeed very fierce. Not only is it invincible on the battlefields of Southeast Asia, but it is also invincible on the battlefields of China and Australia. The complete failure of the British and Australian troops is inevitable, but this is not decisive."

"As long as the United States has not been attacked, as long as the United States' industrial production is not affected, Japan will lose!"

"The reason is very simple, because Japan's wartime system is actually a shot of a heart-wrenching shot and cannot last."

"When the efficacy of the medicine fades, Japan will quickly weaken. By then, the Asian battlefield will definitely move to the counterattack before the European battlefield and the African battlefield!"

Wang Geng thought: "Is there a heart attack from Japan?"

"Yes, the heart-strengthening needle." Zhong Yi said, "What we need to do now is to withstand, withstand this wave of attacks from Japan, and then we can usher in the opportunity to counterattack."

...

It was not only Zhong Yi who had the same view, but also Okamura Yasuji, commander of the Japanese North China Front Army.

At this time, Okamura Yasuji was talking to Miji Otokuro, the chief of staff of the North China Front Army who had been in office.

Okamura Yasuji said in a serious tone: "Omoto-kun, this Spring Festival sweep is crucial, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is related to the century-long national destiny of the empire."

Miji Ogito frowned slightly and said, "It is important to eliminate the Eighth Route Army and reverse the security situation in the five North China provinces, but it is a bit exaggerated to raise this sweep to a century-long national destiny?"

"Is it exaggerating?" Okamura Yasuji waved his hand, "No, not exaggerating at all."

After pausing, Okamura Yasuji continued: "Although the Navy achieved unprecedented victories in the Pacific battlefield, the Southern Army was invincible on the battlefield in Southeast Asia, and even the Chinese battlefield, which had been silent for three years, were also winning steadily. But all this is based on the empire's full transition into the wartime system."

"So what?" Ogoto Mijido, "just win."

"The problem is that no matter how many victory you win the last battle, it is meaningless." Okamura Yanji said worriedly, "And the empire may not be able to last until that battle! Because the wartime system consumes manpower, material resources and national strength beyond imagination. This is like adding alcohol to the pile of wood. Although it can make the flame more vigorous in a short period of time, the price is the rapid combustion of the wood and the huge shortening of the continuous combustion time!"

Ogito Miji said sternly: "Your Excellency the Commander is worried that the wood will burn out early?"

"Yes." Okamura Yasuji said solemnly, "If the security situation in the five North China provinces has never improved, and the five North China provinces have never been able to become a stable rear, and continuously deliver manpower and material resources to the empire, but instead consume the empire's precious manpower and material resources, then the empire will definitely not be able to hold on to the end!"

"Soga." said Ogito Sanji, "I understand."

"Yoxi." Okamura Yasuji said happily, "So this Spring Festival sweep, even if the Eighth Route Army in the five northern provinces cannot be completely eliminated, it will at least damage them, compress them into small areas, limit their actions, and create opportunities for the next stage to completely eliminate them and win time."

"Hayi." Ogito Miji said first, "Now I understand why the Commander proposed the cage tactic."

"It is not enough to know the motivation for cage tactics." Okamura Nishi waved his hand and said, "As the specific summer and executor of cage tactics plan, you must also understand the essence of cage tactics! The essence of cage battle is the three-no policies, not burning, not killing, and not robbing, which is exactly the opposite of Tada's three-light policy."

"But you have to remember that the three non-policies have restrictions."

"Only implement the three no policies in the public security model area, the three light policies still need to be implemented in the guerrilla area and bandit-occupied areas, and they must be even more determined than before! We must let the Chinese people understand that cooperation with the Eighth Route Army will only have one result, death! Cooperating with the Imperial Army can make you live and work in peace and even gain dignity!"

"Hayi!" Miji Ogito was silenced.

After a pause, Ogito Miji said again: "Commander, what do you think about the Fourth Battle of Zhejiang and Fujian?"

Although he is no longer the commander of the 13th Army, Ogito Miji knew that Okamura Yasuji was still very concerned about the war in Zhejiang Province, especially Yinjiang, so he asked this question.

"Is the fourth Zhejiang-Fujian Battle..." Okamura Yasuji said, "I'm afraid there will be a long-lasting fierce battle."

"The long-lasting fierce battle?" Ogito Miji was stunned, "No, right? The main force of the China Zhejiang-Fujian War Zone has suffered a decisive failure and is unable to fight again. It seems that it is inevitable that Yinjiang will fall."

"Wrong." Okamura Yanji shook his head, "Although the main force of the China Zhejiang-Fujian War Zone suffered a great defeat, it still had combat effectiveness. Especially the 10th China Army stationed in Yinjiang, the losses were not large, so with its strong fortifications, we can still resist stubbornly."

Ogito Miji frowned and said, "Will the 10th China Army resist stubbornly?"
