Another direction?
Gu Zhuang raised his head and glanced at him. "What's that other direction you're pointing to?"
Matsui approached the map and pointed at it. "General, we still have half a detachment stationed in Beibu Gulf. We can fully deploy this force northward, forcing Guangzhou to mobilize one or two armies to respond. This way, they won't be able to launch an attack on the Nakamura Brigade."
"What should we do about the Beibu Gulf?" Gu Zhuang frowned. Those were the troops left behind to deal with the French colonial army. If all of them were mobilized and the other side infiltrated, it would be troublesome.
"General, we can have the navy take control of the Beibu Gulf."
As soon as Matsui finished speaking, Gu Zhuang took a deep breath and said, "You want me to bow down to those idiots in the navy?"
Matsui lowered his command staff and approached him. "General, if I had a choice, I wouldn't bow to these bastards either. But the situation is not favorable to us right now. If we don't give up our dignity at this moment, then once the Nakamura Brigade is annihilated by Yamashiro's heavy troops, we'll probably suffer more than just a loss of face."
When the time comes, it will be a question of accountability.
Although you won't be dismissed for the loss of a brigade, it's shameful and you won't be able to hold your head up in front of your colleagues anymore.
"Connect me to the Tsuki Air Force Squadron." Gu Zhuang obviously heard what Matsui wanted to tell him.
He didn't want to live a life of shame and inferiority.
He can be second in this regard, but he will never be first.
Changsha City. Changsha, which had not experienced much war, had completely stabilized.
Okamura Yasuji did not make large-scale personnel transfers here, and allowed the local police station to carry out its work step by step. He also strictly ordered the military police entering the city not to harass the civilians.
Therefore, compared with other areas controlled by the Japanese army, Changsha is better than other places in terms of public security and other aspects.
At the 11th Army Headquarters, General Okamura Yasuji could no longer tolerate the ticking noise of the telecommunications office next door, and eventually had them move elsewhere.
He admired the endurance of the young Zhuge Liang and the heart of the soldiers and generals in the mountain city, but he seemed unable to learn from them.
"General, I just received news that Gu Zhuang contacted the Tsuki Air Brigade not long ago. I have found out that he wants to provide supplies to the Nakamura Brigade that has entered Longping." Nanzō Yunko walked into the office with the telegram.
Okamura Neiji, who was handling documents, put down his pen and glanced at Yamadajima, which he had outlined on the map.
After a sigh, Okamura Neiji said, "Nakamura Brigade, it's over."
Yamadajima put down the ruler in his hand.
Everyone's understanding of Zhou Weiguo made one thing very clear to them.
Gu Zhuang did a very stupid thing.
If he didn't airlift supplies to the Nakamura Brigade, perhaps the Nakamura Brigade would still be able to break out, but you airlifted the supplies.
Well, I'm sorry, Zhou Weiguo's eyes turn green when he sees weapons and equipment, he will definitely not let you go.
Maybe now, his troops are already on their way to Longping.
"Zhou Weiguo's independent regiment has also been dispatched, right?" Okamura Ningji asked after letting out a sigh.
Nanzō Yunko nodded slightly. "They set out yesterday, along with a brigade from the 58th Division, under the command of Zhou Weiguo."
"I really don't understand. He's currently equipped with the world's best tanks and relatively good anti-aircraft weapons. Why would he be so obsessed with our defective weapons?"
Okamura Neiji couldn't understand it. It turned out that Zhou Weiguo was robbing everywhere because he needed to replenish tanks and artillery for his troops, but now he was fully equipped.
It was almost the only unit in the Shancheng Army that was almost fully mechanized. What else could he not be satisfied with?
Yamadajima sat down on the nearest chair and picked up the teacup. "He doesn't need it. Other armies do. That guy started out as a businessman."
It's shameful. Don't the top leaders of Shancheng think that it's shameful for the army to be involved in business transactions? How can they tolerate it?
Okamura Yasuji lowered his head and pondered for a moment. "What a pity for Guzhuang. The glorious victory of the attack on Guangxi some time ago is about to be ruined by the destruction of the Nakamura Brigade."
Nanzō Yunko thought for a moment and said, "General, I don't think things are that bad yet. Perhaps the Nakamura Brigade can return safely."
"Can you come back?" Okamura Ningji smiled bitterly; "You still don't understand your brother-in-law."
He... is a ruthless person.
At the front line of Longping, the vanguard of the independent regiment had already fought with the defense forces of the Nakamura Brigade.
After a brief probing, Zhou Weiguo ordered to stop the attack.
Judging from the other side's defense and deployment, they intend to maintain a long-term standoff here.
"They are determined to fight us to the end. The first battalion reported that the enemy has dug trenches and even has machine gun bunkers." Zhou Weiguo drew a few circles in pencil.
Sano Tadayoshi, who knew the Japanese well, laughed and said, "They've always disdained digging trenches, but this time they're doing it in an orderly fashion, even deploying firepower in a staggered manner. It seems they truly intend to use the terrain to hold back our attack until reinforcements arrive."
Xiao Ya, who was standing in front of the radio, turned her head and said, "According to the Japanese military message we intercepted and Xiuling's analysis, they are transferring a division from the mainland, probably specifically to support the Nakamura Brigade."
"We must resolve this problem before then. Otherwise, if they send reinforcements, the 21st Army will be the size of four divisions, which will put a lot of pressure on both the Guangxi battlefield and the Fourth War Zone."
Ichiro Kuroki, who was in charge of tank operations, pointed to the map.
Zhou Weiguo smiled confidently and said, "Don't worry, Xiaoye should have made contact with them by now."
"What am I exposed to?" As soon as the words fell, Ono's voice rang out in the courtyard of the regiment headquarters.
Zhou Weiguo was startled by the sound. He turned his head and saw Xiao Ye, wearing a gray and white long gown, walking in.
"Why are you back?" Zhou Weiguo glanced at him and frowned; "Didn't you go to talk to Nakamura about something?"
Ono pouted and sat on a chair; "You want me to die."
He had been planning to go out and chat with Nakamura, because if France surrendered, their colonies would definitely be occupied. This was a good opportunity for the general to expand his territory.
He wanted to use this incident to impress Nakamura, and then throw away his weapons and equipment, and the independent regiment would clear the way for them to leave.
He was ready to set off, but who knew that the transport planes that appeared in the sky and the supplies that fell all over the sky made him stop on the spot, and then he ran back quickly.
"Damn it! Their transport plane brought in supplies with the intention of fighting us. If you ask me to approach him now, I'm afraid he'll shoot me before we even have a chance to talk."
Fang Shengli sighed and looked at the map; "What should I do? Xiaoye's route is no longer feasible."
Ono, who had almost calmed down, picked up the teapot and poured the tea into his mouth. He swallowed it, then walked over to the map and put his hands on his hips. "Who was the one who came up with the bad idea to let the Nakamura Brigade take over the supplies?"
