Chapter 523 The cooperation between Juichi Terauchi and Shunroku Hata
The Japanese Army's Central China Headquarters, Commander-in-Chief Shunroku Hata, after stabilizing the external discussion in the capital and dealing with the temporary arrangements for the refugees, is also preparing to restart the transportation between Songhu and the capital of the two occupied areas, and survive
The coming and going of refugees was a scene in which the Japanese army changed its strategy and pretended to be friendly. It hoped to divert everyone's attention and make them mistakenly believe that the Japanese army was not as cruel and cruel as He Feiyang's dispatch of clone officers exposed.
Of course, all the people in the country who were invaded by the Japanese army did not believe in such actions by the Japanese army. Except for those traitors,
In short, after handling these matters, Commander Shunroku Hata planned to jointly command the Japanese army with Commander Juichi Terauchi of the North China Front to carry out offensive operations against the north and the south.
First capture the strategically important Xuzhou in East China, then seize Zhengzhou along the Longhai Railway (Lanzhou-LYG) to the west, and then seize Wuhan along the Pinghan-Hankou Railway (BJ-Hankou) to the south.
This is what Commander Shunroku Hata is thinking about at this moment.
So, after many calculations,
Commander Shunroku Hata also personally called and spoke to Commander Juichi Terauchi of the North China Front.
"Temple Commander!"
"I have decided to attack the city of Xuzhou and encircle and annihilate all the Chinese troops holding there!"
"I plan to take advantage of the occupation of the capital of the China Army and Songhu, these two important strongholds, to complete the expansion of our empire in one go!"
"As long as we can encircle, suppress and annihilate all the main forces of the China Army in the Xuzhou area, then we can fully occupy the entire country of China. By then we will become the most meritorious generals in the empire!"
"All the citizens of the empire will always remember us, and we will be written into the history textbooks of the empire, so that future generations will remember our names!"
"I believe that the commander of the temple will be happy to accept such a glorious honor!"
"Am I right?"
When the call was connected, Commander Shunroku Hata was the first to speak.
"Yo Xi! I will be the first to support your plan!"
"Commander Shunroku Hata!"
"Then when will the attack on the Xuzhou city held by the Chinese army begin?"
"I have received news that many of the elite main forces of the China Army have been killed in the Battle of Songhu and the Battle of the Capital! In particular, the German Arms Division of the China Army, even the most elite veterans, have been killed.
Most of it was polished off!”
"So I believe that when we attack the China Army on the other side of Xuzhou City, we will easily win the final victory and destroy the remaining main force of the vulnerable China Army!"
After hearing that Commander Shunroku Hata was going to launch the Xuzhou Operation,
The commander of the North China Front, Juichi Terauchi, immediately felt in a good mood and agreed.
And he is not afraid of the difficulty of this battle at all.
Because in his eyes, the national army, which had been severely weakened, had absolutely no powerful main elite troops that could resist the joint operations of the two Japanese armies.
Therefore, he wished he could launch the Battle of Xuzhou as soon as possible, expand his territory and make achievements.
And became the commander with the highest record and honor in the Japanese army.
"Then let's start the war on January 26th! I will let the 13th Division under my command take the lead in launching an attack on Fengyang and Bengbu in China. The goal is to successfully cross the Huaihe River!"
After hearing that the commander of the North China Front, Juichi Terauchi, agreed with his decision,
Commander Shunroku Hata also immediately explained the area where he wanted to start the war.
"Okay! Then let's go fight according to the deployment you said!"
"The glory will belong to both of us!"
Commander Juichi of the temple also readily agreed.
"That's a must!"
“Wish you a happy cooperation!”
Commander Shunroku Hata ended the topic confidently.
"Yes! We will definitely cooperate happily!"
"The Chinese army, which has been beaten back by our imperial army like a lost dog, is simply vulnerable. We will definitely end the Xuzhou operation soon!"
Commander Juichi Terauchi also finished the topic,
Added one sentence.
After that, they also immediately hung up the phone and ended the call.
After Commander Shunroku Hata ended the phone call, he immediately went to personally go to Lieutenant General Ogisu Tatehei, the division commander of the 13th Division, to have a conversation and prepare for the pre-war combat deployment.
