Okamura Yasuji had high hopes for the second division troops that interspersed this time. Saiti Yoshimoto was a very cautious commander who did not lack exceptions. The Second Division, also known as the Sendai Division, was formed in the cold and mountainous Hokkaido region. There was not much land for cultivation in Hokkaido, and it was often attacked by the Siberian cold current. Most of them depend on going to sea to fish and live in a very strong seasonal manner. The so-called tenacity of the Japanese is famous for their hardships. They often eat the first meal but don’t have the last meal. As the saying goes, poor mountains and bad waters come from troubled people, and they have also developed the tough folk customs here.

The Japanese Army did not have a full-time mountain infantry force, so Okamura Yanji could only use the Second Division as a substitute. The Japanese had nothing to do with other problems. Arrogance and pride were commonplace. They believed that the Bushido spirit could solve all problems and overcome all difficulties. So Yoshimoto Satoichi didn't even think about it. He agreed to Okamura Yanji's request and commanded his second division to attack Enshi ten days later on time, attack Enshi's headquarters in a surprise attack, and then followed the front of the troops to attack Chongqing, giving the Chinese army a heavy blow like thunder and snow.

Gao Fei would be shocked if he knew that Shinichi Yoshimoto was so arrogant. If he could defeat himself by relying on his spirit alone, why would Gao Fei take the risk of making money and equipment everywhere? Under the premise of well-trainedness, the combat effectiveness of the armed forces is proportional to its equipment. After all, flesh and blood cannot resist the metal frenzy. Moreover, many equipment for fighting in jungle and mountain areas are essential. Extremely non-combat reduction is far more than combat reduction. In history, the Savage Mountain devoured tens of thousands of elite Chinese expeditionary forces. This is the lesson.

The important first step of the entire "Hunan-Jiangxi Operation" plan of Okamura Nishiji is to launch attacks in three directions, north Hunan, and south Hubei in the north. Okamura Nishiji plans to divide troops into two groups to attack Gao'an and Xiushui to attract the attention of the Chinese defenders, and then use the tactic of rapid advancement along the railway to make breakthroughs from northern Hunan. Then, the three directions of northern Jiangxi, north Hunan and southern Hubei in the whole focus of the attack, making it difficult to distinguish between the Chinese defenders' virtuality and the realities, waiting for the Second Division.

The regiment arrived at the attack area and launched an attack with the subsequent Fourth Division. It would all be the 13th Division, the 17th Division, the 21st Railway Heavy Artillery Brigade, the 5th Independent Field Heavy Artillery Brigade, the 38th Mixed Brigade, the Independent Fifth War Vehicle Regiment and other troops in assault operations, occupy Changsha with lightning, open the door to attack Chongqing, and annihilate the main force of the field army in the Ninth War Zone of the Chinese Army, the Ninth War Zone, between Changsha and Nanchang.

Okamura Yanji has a very strong spirit and appetite. He has been holding his breath since the Nanchang battle. Okamura Yanji does not think that Xue Yue will be his opponent. Even the Chinese military and political minister He Yingqin is his own student. Students are just a delusion to surpass his teacher. What's more, the Chinese army has low quality and lags behind in weapons and equipment. The New First Army is just an exception. I believe that within his overall plan, the high-flying New First Army will sooner or later be the meat on his chopping board. The Anti-Japanese Blood Sacrifice for Mountains and Rivers 517
