"The base camp and the dispatched army headquarters have repeatedly considered this matter. They believe that Yokoyama has a deep qualifications, has always been very arrogant and conceited, and is a guy that is difficult to control. Therefore, he decided to be the commander of the Sixth Front and cannot join the army. Directly promoted from the rank commander."

"Finally, the base camp decided to transfer the commander of the North China Front Army to Jiangcheng, as the commander of the Sixth Front Army, continue to preside over the operations against the Yamashiro government, and transfer the commander of the Kwantung Army Third Front Army to General Naosaburo Okabe. Beiping is the commander of the North China Front Army." Matsui Takuro said with a smile.

Lieutenant General Yokoyama Yokoyama is a relatively bossy figure in the Japanese army. Because of his old qualifications, he graduated from the 21st term of the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School. Among the eight military-level commanders under the Kannai Dispatching Army Command, he is the only one. He is a classmate with Eitaro Uchiyama, commander of the Twelfth Army.

The rest of the commanders, such as Lieutenant General Sumita Laishirou of the First Army in Shanxi Province, Lieutenant General Takahashi Tan in the Mongolian Army, Lieutenant General Hosokawa Tadayasu of the 43rd Army in Quancheng, and the 13th in Shanghai. Lieutenant General Nagatsu Sahike of the army, Lieutenant General Hisaichi Tanaka of the 23rd Army in Yangcheng, and Lieutenant General Sano Tadashi of the 34th Army in Jiangxia are all their later students.

The Japanese army is very particular about qualifications, just like the Tenth Army was preparing to lay down its weapons to stop resistance, and went to the Japanese division commander to contact. Obviously, the first to look for was the division commander of the 116th Division, Lieutenant General Iwanaga. There was Lieutenant General Mori Suehiro, the head of the 58th Division, but Lieutenant General Tsutomu Miki, the head of the 68th Division, came forward to negotiate.

Lieutenant General Iwanaga Wang, the head of the 116th Division, and Lieutenant General Mori Suehiro, the head of the 58th Division, were both veteran division heads. Lieutenant General Miki Tsutsumi was only the second time. When attacking Hengzhou, he was promoted from brigade commander to division commander.

Lieutenant General Koto Miki is a student of the 22nd term of the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School. Lieutenant General Mori Suehiro is only the 23rd term, and Lieutenant General Iwanaga is the 24th term, so he encountered important issues If everyone is the head of the division, the seniors should come forward as representatives.

"Listen to what you mean, the dispatching army headquarters seems to be not satisfied with the achievements it has achieved now. After the capture of Hengzhou, it will continue to go south and expand its achievements without repairing it?" Chen Mingxiang asked.

Okamura Neji is a sixteenth graduate of the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School. His qualifications can naturally suppress Yokoyama, but this old devil with his hands soaked in the blood of the Chinese people was transferred from North China to Central China as a commander. This is very detrimental to the subsequent battle between the mountain city government and the Japanese army.

Although I hate Okamura Ningji, I can't help but admit that this guy is very powerful, meticulous and sophisticated, and he is an extremely difficult character.

"Chen Jun, you have served the empire for many years. You have always done your duty and achieved outstanding results. You are a rare friend. It doesn't matter if you have something to say to you. This battle cannot be stopped in a short time."

"The next task of the Sixth Front Army is to launch the third stage of the offensive, use the 11th Army and the 23rd Army to march into Guangxi Province with all its strength, control China’s north-south traffic, and connect China to the French Indochina region. In this way, imperial materials can be transported from China to the Southern Army through this line of communication."

"In addition, it is necessary to prevent the U.S. military from landing on the southeast coast and use the airports of the Shancheng government in Guangxi and Guangdong to bomb the Japanese mainland. Therefore, the dispatch army headquarters believes that no matter how great the sacrifices are made, it must be done. This combat objective."

"The reason why the offensive was not launched immediately, but was placed at the end of the month, was mainly because the units under the 11th Army needed a period of repair, the wounded needed to be treated, and the loss of the organizational system had to be restored. The Hengzhou battle, Some coalitions have been beaten to empty shelves, and ammunition and food are also transported to the forefront."

"The situation is very unfavorable to the Empire. The Shancheng government and the U.S. Air Force actually began to carry out repressive operations against the Imperial Army Aviation. The aircraft they use are more advanced. The Fifth Aviation Army is at a disadvantage and logistics transportation is very difficult. Some troops are still hungry. Stomach fight."

"In the current Jinling government, Chen Gongbo and Zhou Aihai were evading various reasons for requesting food and supplies from the dispatched army headquarters. For this reason, the base camp transferred Kenshiro Shibayama back to the country to serve as the undersecretary of the army. Lieutenant General Kenju Yazaki came to take over the post of the highest military adviser." Matsui Takuro said.

The Japanese army did suffer a big loss in Hengzhou. It was not only the heroic resistance from the Tenth Army, but also its own disadvantages. A large number of troops were fighting hungry because of insufficient food supplies. Even rice dumplings could not be guaranteed.

Last year, the production of rice in Jiangsu Province was reduced, and it was robbed by various forces. The Japanese army's food collection reached the lowest level. Not to mention the domestic transportation, even the garrison troops could not eat enough.

In addition, the cooperation between the Yamashiro government and the U.S. government is also very profitable. Especially in the air force, it has been greatly enhanced. With the help of the U.S. Air Force, it can even suppress the attack of Japanese aircraft. Gone forever.

"Unfortunately, due to a serious lack of exchange materials, my Huatong Trading Company is now increasingly difficult in business and cannot provide any help to the Imperial Army, especially the cotton cloth and food needed by the army. You probably know the situation in the Shanghai stock market, if not General Kinoshita stopped, I plan to close the company." Chen Mingxiang said.

This is really something that he has been considering all the time. Huatong Trading Company was originally his lurking method, and it also played a key role in the execution of the task. The construction of the intelligence network is largely due to the smuggling agency.

Chen Mingxiang believes that in the smuggling transactions between Huatong Trading Company and the Military Unification Bureau, the quantity of goods is getting smaller and smaller. It has completed its mission and will close at the end of the year.

Because as the situation deteriorated, there could no longer be a large amount of materials available for trading on the market, and the Japanese army was even more difficult to protect itself, and there was really no point in reluctantly maintaining it.

However, the closure of Huatong Trading Company will not affect him too much. His own Fenghua Company, which owns a tobacco factory and a tea factory, also operates coal and salt, can still continue to guarantee the funds needed to maintain the relationship.

"Chen Jun, your sensitivity is still a little worse. This company has made great contributions to the imperial army. It is in the military department, and it is also a registered smuggling organization. There is no need to revoke it. We still keep it. Go ahead and avoid someone saying bad things about you, it doesn't cost much anyway."

"The garrison can’t come up with the bargaining chip for the transaction, so you can collect the scarce supplies from the market by yourself, use the original channels to continue to do business with the Military Command, and save yourself some future capital. The empire is now at a time when the storm is precarious, and the mainland is preparing for a decisive battle. , The situation of the Jinling government will become very bad in the future.” Matsui Takuro said bitterly.
