Chapter 600: Change of generals

The form of the decisive battle in Anqing began to undergo fundamental changes.

The arrival of a large number of Chinese troops has been broken through the Japanese defense line, indicating that the Chinese army has the conditions to fight the Japanese pirates in Anqing. It depends on when this war will come.

At this time, the Japanese pirates' psychology began to undergo subtle changes.

Anqing, who had been unable to defeat for a long time, had some ideas from the Japanese pirates. At least until now, they had clearly realized that conquering China was definitely not as easy as they had imagined in the past.

Not only was it not easy at all, but the continuous defeats from the front line and the continuous defeat of the imperial army also made them feel fear.

For the Chinese army, these Japanese pirate soldiers, especially those veterans who have fought in China for a long time, began to feel that it was difficult to explain clearly.

Even, it can be said that it is a fear that I cannot believe in gradually...

The staggering situation has put both commanders in a dilemma, attack or defense, every decision and every choice may determine the outcome of this battle.

The Japanese pirates who were attacking in the city temporarily stopped attacking; the Chinese army, which struggled to hold on to the last position, also had a chance to breathe a little. The Chinese reinforcements entering the city also began to build defensive positions on the spot.

Hiroji Yamamoto, who had not met for a few days, found that he was at the most passive time.

The main force of the Chinese army has been surrounded from several directions and is gradually forming an encirclement situation. Now he must make due judgments about his army, whether to attack or retreat immediately.

"Report, General Tamayo Wanichiro is here!"

With this sound, the former commander-in-chief of the Chinese garrison army, Tian Dayan Ichiro, who planned to participate in the July 7 Lugou Bridge Incident, walked in with a gloomy face.

"God of General, congratulations on your complete recovery." Hiroji Yamamoto hurriedly met him and said respectfully:

"I'm sorry that you came here so far away. Are you here to supervise the battle?"

"No, I don't need to supervise the battle." Tadayani Wanichiro's face was cold, and he couldn't tell any expression: "General Matsui was very dissatisfied with your command on the front line, so he ordered me to take over your position!"

Hiroji Yamamoto was stunned. Although he had already had a premonition that this day would come sooner or later, he still did not expect that it would happen in such a sudden situation.

"General, please listen to me..."

"No, I will take over your work from this minute." Without even giving Hiroji Yamamoto a chance to argue, Taday Wanichiro had already interrupted him coldly:

"Immediately convene an emergency meeting with officers above the brigade commander and above. By the way, Yamamoto, you can also participate together."

Hiroji Yamamoto sighed softly, saying nothing...

"Everyone, the situation on the battlefield is very unfavorable to our army."

Tian Dayi Wanichiro looked at the officers sitting upright, and his tone was filled with anxiety: "Our divisions have suffered heavy defeats under Zheng Yong's hands, and the Chinese army is about to form an encirclement of our army in Anqing. The situation can only be described as dangerous.

I don't want to pursue the responsibility of who is causing the situation today. This has no meaning. I just want to tell you that the empire now needs our warriors of His Majesty the Emperor to step up, and everyone will do their best to alleviate the crisis, strive for victory, and completely defeat the Chinese army!"

"Yes!" the Japanese officers replied loudly.

Taday Anichiro let them sit down and his eyes stopped on Hiroji Yamamoto: "Yamamoto, although you have been temporarily removed from your post, you are still an imperial soldier. In your opinion, what should we do now?"

"Yes, General." Hiroji Yamamoto stood up immediately, organized his own thoughts for a moment and said, "The biggest mistake we have made is..."

"I said that now is not the time to investigate the error." Tayo Wanichiro interrupted Hiroji Yamamoto again.

Hiroji Yamamoto dared not show any dissatisfaction. He paused for a moment and continued, "All the main forces of our troops have gathered here. I think the attack should be stopped immediately at present. It is no longer meaningful to annihilate the Chinese army in Anqing City.

This is the key assembly direction of the Chinese army. All air and navy should be ordered to concentrate on fierce artillery bombing, so that they cannot complete the assembly smoothly, and can be invested in the attack of elite divisions when necessary.

Everyone, the Chinese army, especially Zheng Yong, doesn’t care about any casualties. No matter how many people died, they wouldn’t even shed a tear. All he wanted was victory.

His attitude was already very obvious, which was to fight our army in Anqing and get the lives of ten or even one hundred Chinese soldiers in exchange for an imperial soldier.

I thought most of the elite troops should be concentrated now, and before the Chinese army had completely completed the encirclement, they attacked fiercely, and the troops collapsed the confidence and determination accumulated by the Chinese army.

Then we can take advantage of our army's all advantages in sea, land and air to continue to attack. Please believe me, the Chinese soldiers cannot cope with such a fierce and stormy offensive!"

"Sit down." Tadayan Ichiro motioned to sit down:

"The Chinese army can handle it, otherwise they would not have been in Anqing for so long..."

"General, Anqing is in different situations than the current situation!"

Tadayi Wanichiro glanced at the person who spoke, and was still Hiroji Yamamoto: "Please pay attention to your own behavior. Lord Yamamoto, you are talking to a commander now. Is this the etiquette you have learned?"

Everyone could hear Hiroji Yamamoto sigh and then sat down.

"Everyone, our supply has already encountered certain difficulties in previous attacks, which will increase difficulties in future operations." Tadayan Anichiro stood straight, and he said with a cold expression:

"What I can tell you is that as the war time extends, the Air Force and the Navy have complained about us, so the Command decided to give up its previous combat plan!"

Hiroji Yamamoto's expression changed suddenly. He was about to say something, but when he saw Tashi Anichiro's sword-like eyes, he swallowed the words again.

Tamayo Wanichiro's tone changed and he became a little melancholy:

"His Excellency Yamamoto is halfway through, we must launch a fierce attack, but not for the future of any continuous attack, but for the ability to open a passage before the Chinese army completes its encirclement and prepare for the retreat..."
