"Yes, what I worry about the most is this. If they echo each other from afar and even connect with each other, it will definitely be a disaster!

You might as well imagine how much encourage the morale of the Chinese army would be if the Chinese tiger army was allowed to continue to grow bigger or even recover the entire Shandong region?"

Hata Shunroku looked extremely solemn, and then said:

"In order to avoid such an unfavorable situation, I think the empire must make up its mind to mobilize at least ten heavy troops from the divisions and groups, and quickly annihilate the Chinese Tiger Ben Army, and can no longer delay it!

Because I have a strange feeling that the opponent of the Chinese Hu Ben Army cannot be used to reason. It is not that military blockade and economic blockade can prevent them from growing. The longer the time is, the more dangerous it is!"

Okamura Yasuji nodded and echoed: "What Hata Toshisan said is extremely true, I also feel this way! Since that's the case, we might as well jointly advise His Majesty the Emperor and change the war strategy appropriately!"

"Yoxi! That's right!"

Hata Shunji nodded, then stood up and walked to the window. Looking at Wuchang City, which had just experienced the war, Youyou said:

"Since ancient times, heroes are judging by success or failure. The empire is facing the best historical opportunity in a thousand years. If such a great river and country cannot be completely integrated into the empire's territory, we will be the sinners of the Yamato nation forever!"

"Hayi! What Hata Toshisan said is very true. The kings and princes are defeated. From the moment the war started, the Yamato nation still had no way out, and could only move forward bravely!"

"Yoxi! For the sake of the great foundation of the Yamato nation, we must work together, even if we shed the last drop of blood for the empire!"

Old Japanese such as Okamura Yasuji, Tsukada Okada and Muto Akira are focusing on the key points!

Although the bloody battle in Wuhan and the heavy casualties caused by the Japanese army still made them still feel scared, these old Japanese men became more restless and cruel and bloodthirsty deep in their hearts!

After pausing, Okamura Yasuji said in a deep voice: "However, I still think that our most important task at present is to capture Nanchang and cut off the Zhejiang-Jiangxi railway line connecting the Third and Ninth War Zones of China!"

On November 1, 1938, Okamura Yasuji, surrounded by his aides and guards, stepped into Wuhan City as a victorious person.

Okamura Yasuji set up the 11th Army Command in the former Hubei Provincial Government compound in Wuchang, where he stayed at the office. It happened to be the official residence of Chen Cheng, the commander-in-chief of the Ninth War Zone of China and the chairman of Hubei Province before the fall of Wuhan.

Shortly after Okamura Yanji entered Wuhan, he felt a sense of crisis.

The ** of the Wuhan Battle was appointed commander of the 11th Army. Because he was eager for quick success and instant benefits at the beginning of his tenure, the troops suffered losses and poor progress, so he felt deeply guilty for this.

Later, because of the delay of the Matsuura Division, the Emperor was anxious about the 30,000 Japanese troops trapped in the siege of Wanjialing. General Hata Shunji personally intervened in command and still failed to save the fate of a whole division being eaten by Xue Yue. Okamura was naturally very excited and became cautious.

After the war, the Japanese army achieved the strategic goal of occupying Wuhan, but the Japanese army actually occupied only a narrow area along the Yangtze River in central China.

The occupied area extending from Shanghai along the waterway to Wuhan is directly threatened by a million troops between the Third War Zone, the Fifth War Zone and the Ninth War Zone.

Okamura Yasuji has always been worried that the Third and Ninth War Zones of China will echo each other and launch an offensive together. The Fifth War Zone responds in Jiangbei, which may trap his 11th Army in Wuhan.

Nanchang, the provincial capital city where the Nanxun Railway and the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway intersect, made Okamura feel like a thorn in his throat.

Not only because the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway Line is the main transportation line connecting the Third War Zone and the Ninth War Zone, but also because the Nanchang Airport of the China Air Force directly threatens the Japanese rule over Wuhan and the occupied areas along the river.

Therefore, Okamura Yasuji has been planning and asking for battle to eliminate the huge threat of Nanchang, and at the same time, he also wants to regain some capital from the Nanxun Line battlefield that embarrasses him.

At this moment, the Chinese Tiger Army, far away in Shandong, began to cause trouble again. Gangmura Neji was extremely worried that once the tiger broke free from the cage and was connected with Li Zongren's troops in the fifth war zone, it would be an unimaginable disaster!

Although Yang Fan showed a strong "warlord" nature and had the appearance of being invincible to other Chinese military groups, Okamura Yasuji knew very well that Yang Fan was a Chinese who was determined to fight against Japan and would never let him go once he had a suitable combat opportunity!

"Okamura-kun, what you are anxious about is also what I am anxious about, but the time is not right now. We not only need time to rest and mobilize troops, but also need to formulate a new combat strategy for the Chinese Tiger Army!"

Shinro Hata sighed helplessly. As the scale of the war invasion of China gradually expanded, the disadvantage of Japan's small people being poor and poor resources gradually emerged!

After several major battles, the Japanese army was already in short supply. There were large-scale war mobilization in China, and a new division was being formed in large numbers, but it would take a long time to form the strongest combat power.

Under the principle of confidentiality, the official media did not promote the "ice-breaking operation" launched by the Hu Ben Army of China at the first time, but such a huge amount of movement cannot be hidden!

The vast majority of people near the war zone, newspapers and enemy agents all noticed this situation, and soon all kinds of news spread through various channels.

"My mother, Yang Fan is really good at picking things. I hope the movement can be made bigger and the Japanese dare not continue to advance towards Nanchang!"

Chairman Jiang was holding a Nanyue Military Conference in Hengshan, Hunan at this time. More than 300 senior generals from the Kuomintang army attended the meeting, and Zhou Enlai and Ye Jianying from the Communist Party of China attended.

At the meeting, Chairman Jiang re-divided the national war zones and established eight war zones and two war zones behind enemy lines.

The meeting decided to hold a training class for the southwestern guerrilla cadres in Nanyue, requiring the CCP to send cadres to teach guerrilla warfare. Chairman Jiang was also appointed as the head of education, Tang Enbo was appointed as the head of education, Ye Jianying was appointed as the deputy head of education, and Zhou Enlai was appointed as the lecturer of international issues in the training class.

Chairman Jiang was so familiar with Nanchang. Nanchang City was surrounded by mountains and rivers, and it was a city that was easy to defend and difficult to attack. He once led the army to attack this city during the Northern Expedition, and later he was in charge of commanding the "encirclement and suppression" of the Red Soviet Area!

Nanchang, Hunan, Jiangxi and Zhejiang are key water and land transportation. Not only the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway and Nanxun Railway intersection, but also the Xiangtang Highway and the Beijing-Xiangxi National Highway are also connected here, and the surrounding land transportation is well connected!

In Chairman Jiang's eyes, Nanchang's status in the War of Resistance was almost the same as that of the accompanying capital, and was ranked alongside Hankou, Peiping and Guangzhou.
