At the command center of the Eastern Sea dispatch army.
"Jiang Qiao has fallen, and the 41st Regiment has been destroyed!”
"The fall of Qinjiawan, the entire 24th regiment is shattered!”
"Guangfu is lost, and the 17th Brigade is destroyed!”
"If we lose, the 38th Brigade will be crushed!”
" The battlefield was lost. The 11th Heavy Artillery Regiment and the 19th Infantry Regiment were all crushed. Ichiro Murakami sent a farewell telegram, vowing to perish together with the Chinese Army…"
After Chief of Staff Morioka Ichinuma finished reading the battle report, Matsui Ishine collapsed on the chair like a deflated ball. His mind was already thinking about how to commit suicide.
Guard?
He couldn't defend it!
Lu Tian's attacks were too ferocious. In just a day, he had wiped out 90,000 of his soldiers. Now, he only had 60,000 men. The next step was to face the encirclement of 800,000 soldiers.
He was not arrogant enough to defeat 800,000 with 60,000 people!
If it was Chang Kaishen's troops, they might have tried, but the intelligence from the National Defense Army from the front line made them lose confidence in resisting.
It was a heavy tank that weighed more than 30 tons and more than 50 tons. It was indestructible even with armor-piercing bullets.
In front of these steel monsters, their tanks had no way to fight back. They were no different from toys.
There were also a large number of large-caliber cannons and fighter jets that had just been installed in the Third Reich, which were superior to the Imperial Air Force.
How?
Ta, ta, ta ~
11th Regiment Commander Munetake Yamamuro, 9th Regiment Commander Yoshizumi Ryosuke, 13th Regiment Commander Ozu Ribei, 101st Regiment Commander Masayoshi Ito, and a dozen other Lieutenant Generals strode into the command post with solemn expressions on their faces.
"Commander, we are surrounded!”
Surround?
Yoshizumi Ryosuke pointed at the map." Due to an error in judgment, all the remaining troops of our army are gathered in the Caojiadu area of Beixinjing. We just happened to fall into Lu Tian's trap. So far, we have no way out. At least 400,000 Chinese soldiers have surrounded us.”
"But the strange thing is that they didn't attack. Instead, they built fortifications on the spot.”
It was not strange!
Iwane sighed. He knew what Lu Tian wanted to do.
Surround and attack the reinforcements.
"Lu Tian is definitely the Empire's greatest enemy. It's impossible for us to annex the Empire. Perhaps the Continental Plan was a mistake from the start.”
" Even if the army of six hundred thousand generals can defeat him, they will suffer heavy casualties in the end and be unable to fight anymore. Also, the strategic area of China is thousands of kilometers wide and has a population of four hundred million. Once it is dragged into the quagmire of war, will the Imperium have a future?”
"Moreover, there's a mysterious figure like Lu Tian. He's too terrifying!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the command post was filled with gloom.
Everyone knew that the current situation was very unfavorable for the Wei Nation, and if they continued to fight, the country would not be able to hold on.
"Commander, I think we should stop the losses in time!”
Hmm?
Iwane Matsui looked at Masayoshi Ito, not understanding what he meant by stopping the losses in time.
"Details ~"
"Surrender, end the war in Central China, protect the 600,000 strong army of the Six Generals, persuade the main camp to change their route to North China, use Chang River as the dividing line to digest the north, expand their strength, and then seek the south.”
"The complex terrain in the south of China is not conducive to the deployment of large armies. Once the offensive is weak, it is bound to enter a confrontation, which is not in the interests of the empire.”
This…
Everyone present was shocked by this suggestion.
Surrender?
He must be crazy!
However, on second thought, it was indeed a good idea to cut off the wrist.
……
Jiang Qiao, in the joint command center.
"Nani, the devils want to surrender?"
Lu Tian, who was excitedly discussing with Yu Xin about how to write a script and scold people, couldn't stay calm anymore.
He jumped up with a thud, his eyes wide open.
"What the f * ck is going on?”
Lin Zhan explained," I suspect that Matsui Ishigen wants to make a decisive decision in exchange for the safety of the 600,000 troops that are about to reach the East China Sea. The next step might be to increase the number of troops in North China and completely shake off the South."”
That's right!
Lu Tian understood his intention to surrender.
Tsk!
It had to be said that Iwane Matsui was really bold.
But the problem was, would the arrogant Wei Nation agree to this plan?
……
Wei Nation, headquarters.
Indeed, with Matsui Iwane as the leader, the entire base camp was in an uproar when the telegram signed by all the officers above the rank of lieutenant colonel was sent back.
Surrender?
Protect the 600,000-strong army and turn north, then seek the south after digesting the north?
Impossible!
The first reaction of all the higher-ups was that it was impossible.
813 launched the Battle of the Demon City and consumed countless resources in the past few months.
They were about to obtain victory and completely occupy the rich south.
How could he give up halfway?
But there were also rational people, such as Lu Shisui.
"Your Majesty, I think General Matsui's suggestion is not without reason. As long as Lu Tian is in the south, our attack will not go smoothly.”
"Therefore, instead of expending our forces and resources in the south, it's better to occupy the north and lay a good foundation before slowly encroaching on the south.”
" The Empire needs coal, iron ore, and labor too much. The resources in the north of China are enough for us to obtain…"
