The 15th Japanese Army Command.

Iida Xiangjiro's face looked very ugly.

Just now, Hideki Tojo sent a telegram and scolded him for a pig.

When he first started fighting, he actually killed the 11th Division. His command ability was too poor.

Ten thousand alpacas whizzed by in my heart.

Damn Old Tojo, you peeked at my wife taking a shower. I haven’t settled the score with you yet. Are you embarrassed to scold me?

If it weren't for your boss, I would have turned against you!

Iida Xiangjiro looked at the map depressedly, not knowing where his command made a mistake.

The Japanese Chief of Staff said to Yoshiro Iida: "Commander, the 56th Division is now advancing towards Tomochi. Do you need them to change their direction?"

Yoshiro Iida shook his head: "No, I want the 56th Division to become a big bait, attract the opponent's main force, and then our troops will surround and destroy them.

Where is our 18th Division now?"

The Japanese Chief of Staff said: "The 18th Division has gathered in Tuwa."

Yoshiro Iida nodded and said, "Yoxi, order the 18th Division to advance toward Pingman immediately. With the 56th Division in Tangji, the opponent's main force will definitely be attracted.

At that time, we will transfer all the 18th Division and the 55th Division to Tangji to fight their main forces.

I believe that under our strong attack, we will definitely win!”

The Japanese Chief of Staff was stunned for a moment. If this is the case, then the 56th Division will not attack Ren'anqiang?

Also, the combat effectiveness of the 18th Division is not as powerful as the 11th Division.

Although the 18th Division is also a Class A division, its combat effectiveness is slightly worse than that of the 11th Division.

Moreover, the 18th Division is completely an infantry division, without much heavy weapons.

It has two brigades under its jurisdiction, with a total of four infantry corpses. In addition to the three infantry corpses with strong offensive capabilities, the other baggage corps has much worse combat effectiveness.

However, among the three remaining divisions, the 18th Division, can still be regarded as the main force.

If you want to win, you can only let the 18th Division join.

But the problem is, then you can't just go so directly, right?

The 55th Division is about to reach Ren'anqiang.

It is very inappropriate to let the 55th Division go to Tangji now.

It took about three days to get from Ren'anqiang to Tangji, but it was still without fighting and marching.

The 18th Division will take at least four days to arrive at Tangji from Tuwa.

There is also a passage through Pingman's place in the middle.

The opponent had just won a big victory in Pingman. You can even imagine with your toes that Pingman now must be all the opponent's main force.

Even if the opponent attacks the 56th Division, Pingmanna will leave a unit to guard it.

If the 18th Division and the 55th Division do not arrive in Tangji on time, the 56th Division will be in danger.

The Japanese Chief of Staff expressed his doubts, but Iida Yoshiro did not agree.

"Now our combat goals have changed. It turns out that our goal is to occupy important cities here and force the troops of Country Y to withdraw from here.

But now our goal is to eliminate the expeditionary army. If we do not destroy them, it will be impossible to occupy the place.

So the current task is to find and eliminate their main force.

In this way, this place will be ours.

The 55th Division has not encountered any resistance until now, which shows that the other party has not arranged heavy troops in the Ren'anqiang area. All the opponent's troops must be in the flat area. As long as our 56th Division arrives in Tangji, it will definitely attract all the opponent's main forces."

Iida Xiangjiro said: "Now the 55th Division has no effect in Ren'anqiang. Even if Ren'anqiang is occupied, the opponent's troops will not retreat easily. They can still get fuel from the rear."

The Japanese Chief of Staff was still a little worried: "Mr. Commander, I am worried that the 56th Division will not last for that long.

Three or four days is not short.

The 11th Division, but it didn't take a day to get through."

Yoshiro Iida nodded. His chief of staff was right. With the opponent's combat effectiveness, it was indeed difficult for the 56th Division to hold on for three days.

So Iida Yoshiro ordered: "After the 56th Division arrived at Tangji, build a line of defense immediately. Don't take the initiative to attack.

You must stick to it for three days. After three days, the 18th Division will be able to rush behind the opponent's troops and attack forward and backward."

As long as the 18th Division arrives, the opponent's main force will be entangled, and the 55th Division will arrive soon.

In this case, it should be enough for three divisions to fight against the opponent's two armies and an armored division.

The Japanese Chief of Staff did not agree: "Commander, your estimate is that the opponent's troops should have 200,000. However, according to the intelligence, in the Pingman area, there are only the opponent's troops, which is almost 70,000. This is very different from our judgment.

We don’t know where the remaining troops are. If we rashly implement the siege plan in Tangji, if the remaining troops on the other side are ambushed in the Tangji area, then our troops will be surrounded by counter-encirclement.”

The Japanese Chief of Staff said it very seriously.

Iida Xiangjiro, however, judged that the opponent's troops had 200,000.

But now there are only about 70,000 troops, but what about the remaining army of more than 100,000?

It won't disappear out of thin air, right?

The Japanese Chief of Staff speculated that the remaining 100,000 troops were likely to be ambushed in Mandalay.

Because Mandalay is at the center of the entire battlefield, you can attack and retreat and defend.

It is a very abnormal phenomenon that the other party did not deploy troops in the east.

He felt that the other party was likely to lure the enemy into the depths.

Maybe Tang Ji has ambushed a large number of troops from the other side now.

If the 56th Division rushed to Tangji, it is very likely that it would be ambushed.

This speculation by the Japanese Chief of Staff made Iida Shojiro stunned for a moment.

Yes, where are the other tens of thousands of troops on the other side?

Why is there no news at all?

There has not been any valuable news from their Mei agency yet.

This army is a little bit hidden.

If the opponent really ambushed heavy troops in Mandalay, it would be a suitable decision to transfer all the troops to Tangji.

But, all this is speculation.

Whether it is Iida Yoshiro or his chief of staff, they are just speculations and there is no evidence at all.

"Have we found nothing in our Mei agency?" asked Yoshiro Iida.

The Japanese chief of staff shook his head: "Nothing was found, the opponent's troops seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, and we couldn't find it at all."

"Bagaya Road! There are 200,000 troops on the other side, and now there are only more than 70,000 people. We know that in Pingman, we can't find out the remaining 100,000 people!

How to fight like this!

What does Mei’s organ do for food? They should be sent to the military court!”

Iida Yoshiro was very angry.

One of their divisions was destroyed by the other party, but until now, it is still unclear about the deployment of the other party's troops.

This is so embarrassing.

This battle is strange if it is undefeated!

Everyone in the entire 15th Japanese Army headquarters dared not say anything.

He lowered his head and did not speak.

Now speaking is completely a search for death.

After a burst of explosion, Yoshiro Iida tried hard to calm himself down.

Anger makes people stupid.

Anger makes people stupid.

Anger makes people stupid.

Iida Xiangjiro recited it silently several times in his heart, but finally couldn't help but burst out.

ah!!

He pulled out his command knife and started slashing on the table.

This bastard's mentality has collapsed.

None of the people in the Japanese command dared to stop him. If he was stabbed to death, it would be in vain.

Iida Xiangjiro broke out for half an hour and finally sat in a chair exhausted: "The order, the original plan remains unchanged, and the decisive battle between us and each other is still in Tomochi."
