Tanaka Shinichi asked for "instructions". Yamashita Tomoto wanted to move it. At this time, he remembered that he was the commander-in-chief of the Front Army. What had he done long ago?

The incident of the entire Sixth Division being beheaded by the Chinese Expeditionary Force and causing Jingguan has already made Yamashita Fengfu angry. The most taboo thing for Japanese officers and soldiers is to beheaded because the lonely soul who lost his head cannot find his way home, that is, he cannot be reincarnated. Especially those terrifying and creepy Kyoto on the airdrop leaflets are a devastating blow to the morale of the troops. He did not expect that Shinichi Tanaka's swearing reinforcements would be so useless?

Yamashita Tofumi naturally knew why Tanaka Shinichi hated him, and it was this reason why he had been suppressing Tanaka Shinichi. It can be said that whether he was Yamashita Tofumi or Tanaka Shinichi, he was just a victim of the balance between the two major forces of the royalist faction and the hardliner.

Yamashita Tomofumi understood Tanaka Shinichi's sinister intention and purpose of trying to cause fire to burn him. He must not let the fire burn to India himself. At that time, it was also the Kawamakura Sect who undercurrently pushed Tanaka Shinichi to serve as the commander of the Myanmar garrison troops in the base camp. I believe that now, whether it is the royalist sect led by Nishimin Jiro or the hardliners led by Hideki Tojo, they all hope to see the old guys of the Kawamakura Sect being unlucky.

For the vast India, many natural deep-water ports can allow the Japanese Navy to obtain supplies. More importantly, occupying India is equivalent to opening an important path to the Middle East. The significance of occupying India is much greater than that of Myanmar. Occupy India is equivalent to controlling the Indian Ocean and the entire Bay of Bengal. The British forces will completely withdraw from Asia without any further land and completely cut off the last supply base for international aid to China.

In that case, all the supplies that arrived in China through India can be cut off. The US aircraft that brought huge damage to the Imperial Army was extremely arrogant in the sky. Due to lack of fuel and ammunition, they could only stay on the ground and become the spoils of the Imperial Army. The Chinese Expeditionary Force, as a confidant of the Imperial Army, was like a tiger whose teeth were pulled out and whose claws were cut off. The prospect of capturing India was so tempting. In Yamashita Tomofumi's view, even if it sacrificed 200,000 or even 300,000 troops for this goal is worth it. This is an opportunity to completely resolve the China incident. Based on the current international situation, Yamashita Tomofumi believes that this opportunity is likely to be the last important opportunity that the empire can seize.

If Tanaka Shin-hsien retreated to India, it would be hard for Yamashita Tomoto to imagine whether the Chinese Expeditionary Force would follow closely? Unlike Myanmar, India is mostly a vast plain area, and most of the Chinese Expeditionary Forces are mechanized units, suitable for mobile combat in plain areas, and its combat effectiveness in plain areas will be several times that in Myanmar.

Moreover, during the counterattack in front of the front a few days ago, the Chinese Expeditionary Force dispatched dozens of medium-sized tanks to cover the counterattack of the British and Indian troops. If it were not for the commander of the Second Division, Okazaki Kiyosaburo, the second division, decisively ordered artillery fire to cover the artillery fire, the consequences would be unimaginable. After the decisive and fierce artillery fire completely gave the British and Indian troops annihilated strike, the chariot troops of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, which had lost the cover of the infantry, were forced to retreat.

There is a Chinese chariot unit with unknown rules in Kolkata, which has always been a big trouble in Fengwen, the heart of the mountain, hanging over his head like a sword of Damocles.

So Yamashita Bongmoto has been waiting for news from Chandras, hoping that there will be good news for him like Impal. The troops with the strongest combat effectiveness in Myanmar are the Sixth Division and the 18th Division. Now the Sixth Division has become history. The 18th Division is relied on by Tanaka Shinichi again. Myanmar seems to have become a dead end. Yamashita Bongmoto must not allow a Chinese team with tanks. Armored vehicles are extremely mobile and have an absolute advantage in firepower to appear behind his own land. If the Chinese Expeditionary Force takes advantage of the situation, the attacking and Indian army may fall into the Jedi. Moreover, the supplies he carries are not sufficient. The offensive and defensive battle in Kolkata does not seem to be 10% down. For many reasons, Yamashita Bongmoto took the lead in denying Tanaka Shinichi's idea of ​​retreating to India.

Yamashita Tomoto knew that he could not bear such a major decision. So he immediately reported the request of Shinichi Tanaka to the base camp.

At 3 a.m. on May 11, when the earth was still immersed in darkness, the General Staff Headquarters of a mountainous colony in the suburbs of Tokyo, Japan, ignored the lights. Even the street lights outside the gate were lit. Cars with curtains kept driving into the courtyard. The sound of leather boots and the ground treading the ground made the originally drowsy sentrymen particularly energetic. Especially after several black sedans with chrysanthemum flags arrived, the military policemen who came along had added double posts at each post. They were completely on a serious alert.

Even when the stupid people see this posture, they can understand. There must be a big problem on the front line. Otherwise, these rare big figures would never come to the General Staff Headquarters (Three) in the early morning. After all the big figures arrived, all the lights of the earth went out instantly. It seemed that everything was swallowed by darkness. Just now

Tojo Hideki stopped at the door. The sudden darkness gave him a premonition.

In the Sakura Hall, Emperor Hirohito was wiping his glasses with a gloomy face. Hideki Tojo was silent. Ministers of Foreign Affairs, Ministers of Insider and others directly chose to sit cross-legged by a shorter side. He seemed to be away from the center of power?

This cherry blossom hall is not a formal conference hall. It is a lounge for the Emperor. Due to the special content of the conference site today and the air defense light control area, the meeting was moved here to be held.

Everyone already knew the purpose of their recruitment. One was that the main force of the Imperial Japanese Navy Combined Fleet had a fierce battle with the main force of the US Pacific Fleet at 2 a.m. on May 11, 2019, at 150 nautical miles southeast of the Guadalcanal Islands. No war reports have been reported so far.

The second is that the Myanmar left-behind troops of the Myanmar Front, under the Southern Army, were cut off by the Chinese army after the reinforcement of the 6th Division of Myanmar, were attacked by the Chinese army and faced the danger of being divided and annihilated by the Chinese army by the enemy from both sides.

The recent continuous defeats and losses on the battlefields of China and Myanmar have made the senior leaders of the base camp completely numb. The first deputy deputy chief of the base camp, Miyamoto Ki, repeatedly looked through the telegrams sent by Yamashita Fengwen, frowned unhappily and said: "These useless guys know how to ask for this and that all day long. It seems that it is difficult for us to hear some good news in the Imperial Army!"

As the deputy chief of the navy, Takashi Ono looked at Hideki Tojo, who served as the Secretary of the Army and Prime Minister of the Cabinet, and said humorously: "This time it may be because of a submachine gun or a chariot! Should I stop building the Dafeng? Or demolish Musashi? The Bushido spirit that the army kept saying said, "

Hirohito's cold eyes made Ono Takashi, who was originally preparing to attack, suddenly lose his voice. Hideki Tojo looked at Ono Takashi expressionlessly, as if he saw nothing. He knew that Ono Takashi was just a mad dog released by his opponent. If he fought back, it would be the same as the mad dog. If he didn't fight back, it would give people a feeling of being honest.

Hideki Tojo is not a well-educated person, otherwise he would not have had the nickname of Razor Face. This time he rarely did not fight back on Ono Takashi, so he was not allowed to do so.

The bait fleet commanded by Navy General Isori Yamamoto Isori has been surrounded by the 17th, 18th and 20th special mixed fleets of the US Pacific Fleet. The US Fifth Pacific Fleet, which has been wandering outside the Guadalcanal Islands, is even more eyeing. The number of US ships in the Pacific waters has significantly exceeded that of the Joint Fleet.

Tojo Hideki still respects Yamamoto Izuru himself as a bait to lure the enemy. Although Yamamoto Izuru repeatedly contradicted him as the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, Yamamoto's spirit of sacrifice at critical moments was incomparable to the cowardly candid slogans like Onogata who only yelled slogans and was full of fat.

Hideki Tojo sorted out his thoughts and then spoke: "The Battle of Guadalada has broken out. We can only sit quietly and hear his voice. Any interference and inquiries can only add a burden to the soldiers on the front line. Please send an inspirational edict to praise all the soldiers on the front line, especially the navy generals!"

Emperor Hirohito nodded cautiously, took the tea handed over to the side, and sniffed it and said, "So what should Myanmar do about that?"

Hideki Tojo looked at the successor emperor who was praised by the army as the altar. It seemed that the emperor was quite dissatisfied with the army's always holding the power of the empire. Hideki Tojo saw it all, and he said leisurely: "You all in the base camp must have thought and hesitated repeatedly between India and Myanmar, right? I believe that the losses of the attacking and Indian army and the Myanmar garrison troops are something we do not want or want to see, but the actual situation now is that the incompetence of some generals has made the war situation in Myanmar so bad that it is uncontrollable."

Hideki Tojo was vigorously criticizing the army. Everyone present had a very bad premonition. They were worried that Tojo would use more fierce attacks to transfer the crisis after criticizing the army. This was an old trick that Tojo could not try.

Hideki Tojo looked around everyone and suddenly shouted loudly: "Myanmar's defeat must not affect the Indian battlefield at a critical moment. My opinion is that the Myanmar garrison troops are elected as a capable person to command the unit, and the troops will immediately turn to Yangon to break through. The 56th Division of Watanabe Masao can serve as a support force."

Everyone knows that whether the siege can break through depends on whether the Myanmar garrison troops have enough time and determination to defeat the enemy advancing north and south of Mandalay. Of course, they are just decision makers, and the specific tactic implementation must be completed by the following generals. The quality of the completion is naturally the best example of the ability of the generals in the postgraduate entrance examination.
