The commander of the Japanese 3rd Imperial Army, Hase Mekei, turned dark gradually.
Right now, the situation is critical.
Need to be handled with caution.
"Your Majesty Commander, our reinforcements will arrive in less than two or three days."
"At that time, this new division, which is no more than 30,000 strong, can be wiped out at will."
"For now, we still have to hold on to the barrier, follow His Excellency Okamura's instructions, and never create extraneous problems..."
On the side, Lieutenant General Chika Nagai, Chief of Staff of the Japanese 3rd Imperial Army, groaned, still wanting to take the safe route.
"Nagai-kun!"
"Why don't I, commander, want to play it safe?"
"But you just said that the reinforcements will not arrive in Jincheng for two or three days..."
"And the current situation in Songshan can still last two or three days?"
"Once the enemy captures Songshan, he will completely use Songshan as a fort and set up artillery to bombard our Jin city indiscriminately!"
"If it's just the enemy's ordinary army, that's it. Naturally there won't be too many artillery, so we don't have to worry too much."
"But this is the new division."
"The most indispensable thing is artillery..."
"At that time, we will only be beaten passively..."
"If we change the approach and use offense instead of defense..."
The commander of the Japanese 3rd Imperial Army, Commander Hase Mekei, pondered, shook his head and said.
It does not want to stay in the city cowardly.
He has long regarded these 30,000 new First Division troops as his military exploits.
When the reinforcements arrive, this battle achievement belongs to the reinforcements, so what other connection can there be with him?
You know, the majesty of this new division has spread throughout the Xia Kingdom...
If anyone can truly destroy the tens of thousands of troops of the New First Division, that would be a feat of heaven!
The commander of the Japanese 3rd Imperial Army showed enthusiasm in his eyes...
"this……"
"Your Excellency Commander, Your Excellency Okamura's order..."
The Japanese Lieutenant General Chief of Staff still seemed a little hesitant.
"I will be outside, and I will not accept your order."
"Your Excellency Okamura has never been to the battlefield in person, how can he know the situation in our Jin City?"
"As long as we can defend Jincheng, Lord Okamura will have nothing to say..."
"While the enemy is currently attacking Matsuyama with all its strength, this is a perfect opportunity for our 3rd Imperial Army!"
"According to the telegram from the commander of the Yanagawa Brigade of the 58th Composite Brigade stationed in Matsuyama, although the enemy's firepower is strong, it is not to the point of being irresistible."
"According to the calculations of Commander Yanagawa Brigade, the enemy's firepower...is equivalent to three ordinary artillery regiments in our empire."
"In the city, the 29th Division and the 79th Division can deploy two artillery regiments. In addition, there is the 8th Heavy Artillery Regiment..."
"In terms of firepower, we are not much worse than the New First Division."
"And the total number of our Imperial Locust Army is twice that of the New First Division, plus the cannon fodder of the New First Division..."
"We can also suddenly go out of the city and catch the enemy by surprise..."
"In this way, this battle will be won!"
"The empire needs a victory to boost the morale of the army!"
"Otherwise, from now on, our empire's warriors will be heartbroken when they hear the name of the New First Division. How can it be possible?"
"snort!"
"The so-called New First Division is just relying on artillery power!"
"The firepower of a mere 30,000 troops is equivalent to the artillery fire of two or three divisions of our empire..."
"This is evident from this."
"But besides all this firepower, what else does the New First Division have to brag about?"
"When it comes to the quality of individual soldiers, how is the New First Division our opponent?"
"Ah!"
"It's really ridiculous!"
"It's not bad at all!"
"Nagai-kun, please wait for His Majesty Tian Locust's conferment!"
"When this battle is over, you and I... may have to cross that threshold!"
The commander of the Japanese 3rd Imperial Army, Hase Mekei, glanced at his epaulettes and couldn't help but show confidence on his face.
Be confident and just do it!
"Crossing...threshold?"
"Your Majesty Commander, I just hope...that everything goes well."
"Commander, I have one more thing to say..."
"Even if we go out of the city to raid the low-level people and rescue Songshan, we can't risk the entire Jincheng garrison."
"There are currently two divisions of locust troops in the city. At most... they can only take away one..."
"The defense of Jincheng is the top priority!"
Japanese Lieutenant General Chika Nagai, chief of staff, said solemnly.
"A division?"
"no!"
"Send out the entire army and resolve the battle as soon as possible to avoid further trouble."
"As a division, there is a high probability that it will not be able to achieve full success."
"There will still be trouble then."
"I have to take away the 29th Division, the 79th Division and the 8th Heavy Artillery Regiment."
"Let those losers from the Locust Alliance stay and defend the city for you."
"Except for the Locust Alliance Army of the division on Songshan Mountain, the remaining 30,000 Locust Alliance Army are all in the city."
"Even if there are 30,000 pigs defending the city, the enemy will not break in anytime soon."
"This will put you at ease, right?"
"And I'm going to Songshan to destroy the enemy. It's less than five kilometers away. Go back quickly."
"This battle must be won! Must be won!"
"Nagai-kun!"
"This is our chance to make a difference!"
"His Majesty Tian Locust's award is right in front of you!"
"Nagai-kun! You and I should be the pillars of the empire!"
The commander of the Japanese 3rd Imperial Army, Hase Mekei, held his head high and his chest high, full of confidence, as if victory was within reach...
The Japanese Lieutenant General Chief of Staff Nagai Chika was secretly shocked...
An ominous premonition came to my mind...
An arrogant soldier will be defeated...
"Your Excellency Commander..."
"okay!"
"Stop talking."
"I am the commander, I will bear all responsibilities!"
"Has the comfortable life at Jincheng garrison completely corrupted you?"
"Nagai-kun, you can't even lift the saber, can you?"
ridicule.
Sarcasm without scruple.
The commander of the Japanese 3rd Imperial Army, Hase Mekei, was arrogant, and the contempt in his eyes could no longer be concealed.
The Japanese chief of staff, Chika Nagai, immediately turned red and hot...
This reckless man!
ordinary man!
"Your Excellency Commander!"
"At least one brigade must be left to garrison Jincheng!"
"The 1st Brigade of the 29th Division must stay!"
"That's the bottom line!"
"Otherwise, I will report it to Mr. Okamura now and let Mr. Okamura make a decision!"
Japanese Chief of Staff Nagai Chika said with a stubborn look on his face.
"snort!"
"Nagai-kun!"
"It's really a shame to the empire that you can become a general of the empire!"
"As you said!"
"Leave a brigade to garrison!"
"But I want to take away the 21st Army of the Locust Alliance Army!"
"With such a large group of cannon fodder charging at the front, there won't be any problem."
"Except for the 1st Brigade, the entire 29th Army Corps was mobilized, with 15,000 troops. The 79th Division was mobilized with 20,000 troops..."
"In this way, the Locust Army is thirty-five thousand...the Locust Alliance Army is twenty thousand..."
