Draw the sword and cure the fear of insufficient firepower

Chapter 314: Rehabilitate the reputation of the 1st Army!

The confidence that came from within and out of Yoshimitsu Masao deeply impressed every Japanese general present, including Hisashi Saburo.

As the old saying goes, seeing is believing.

After all, Shouqi Saburo had only been in the First Army for a short time, and had not seen how powerful Kimitsu Masao was. He just followed what others said and thought he was not that great. But after listening to Kimitsu Masao's analysis today, Shouqi Saburo was astonished and felt that he had really found a treasure.

This is simply a great talent. With just a few words, he analyzed the current complicated battlefield situation that was giving him a headache, and also gave a countermeasure.

Leaders like subordinates who can come up with useful solutions the most.

Not only that, this method sounds quite useful. During this period, the troops provided by the North China Front Army to supplement the First Army have arrived one after another.

Last time, they lost more than 6 Japanese soldiers at the hands of Yoshio Shinozuka. Now, with a wave of his hand, General Okamura Yasuji directly allocated more than people, which is more than the losses.

Not only that, Neiji Okamura specially transferred the most advanced flying brigade from the country, which was equipped with the latest and most advanced Zero fighter planes of the Japanese.

Not only that, there is also a heavy artillery brigade and two armored regiments.

In addition, Okamura Neiji also borrowed a bacterial unit from the Kwantung Army and brought the latest virus weapons developed by Unit 731 to the battlefield in North China to support their operations.

Of course, these things are not prepared for ordinary Chinese troops.

These are all prepared to deal with Lin Tian’s division.

Airplanes, heavy artillery, tanks, these are all conventional weapons. Okamura Neiji was quite cautious. According to the intelligence of the First Division, he believed that these weapons and equipment were backward compared to those of the First Division. Perhaps only the Zero fighter could kill a large number of soldiers of the First Division. After all, there had never been any intelligence that the First Division had an air force.

Okamura Neiji also didn't believe that the First Division could have an air force, as this was not something that could be solved with money.

However, he made two preparations, since he could not defeat Division 1 physically with conventional weapons.

Then use unconventional weapons to destroy them spiritually and psychologically!

After much thought, the only way to achieve this is to launch a biological warfare.

Okamura Neiji was famous for his prudence and caution. He would never launch an attack on a division lightly. He would only launch a surprise attack after making sufficient preparations.

So this time he made two preparations...

The First Army has now reached its peak. Both its manpower and equipment are stronger than before.

Hisashi Saburo had never been so glorious before. He always believed that this was because Commander-in-Chief Okamura Yasuji valued him, so he was eager to achieve some results.

After listening to Yoshimitsu Masao's analysis, Shouqi Saburo straightened his back even more. He had never been so confident.

If the troops he led faced the Chinese army, it would be a one-sided massacre, of course, except for one division...

"Yoshi! Yoshi!!"

"Lieutenant General Xi Guang is truly the pillar of our First Army!"

"This countermeasure, this strategy! It's really brilliant!"

"Just follow Lieutenant General Xiguang's plan!"

"Order! Appoint Lieutenant General Masao Kimitsu as the commander of this mission! Lead the headquarters, the 41st Brigade, the 12th Brigade, and the 10th Tank Regiment! Set out from Taiyuan to reinforce Ping'an County and contain the Eighth Route Army from the front with absolutely superior weapons and equipment!"

"Also! The 11th Locust Brigade of Lingquan! The 30th Locust Brigade of Yangquan, quickly sweep the Eighth Route Army base! Strictly implement Commander-in-Chief Okamura's Three Alls Policy! Force the Eighth Route Army to return for rescue!"

"Tell that idiot Yamamoto Ikki about sending reinforcements! Tell him to hold on for me! If the county town falls before the reinforcements arrive, I will send a telegram to the country and have all the Yamamoto family's ancestral graves destroyed!"

Hisashi Saburo's eyes lit up and he kept clapping and praising. Kimitsu Masao was a bit arrogant and didn't give much face to the new commander.

But isn’t it normal for people with real ability to have a bit of temper?

As long as Kimitsu Masao can perfectly solve this urgent problem and achieve this strategic goal, he, as the commander-in-chief, will be the first merit! He is so happy that he can't wait, how can he not be happy.

"Hai! Thank you for your trust, Commander!"

"I, Kimitsu Masao, will do my best to wipe out the main force of the Eighth Route Army that has taken the initiative to provoke the Locust Army!"

"Bring glory to the Locust Army! Restore the reputation of the First Army!"

Masao Kimitsu was not surprised at all when he heard the order from Saburo Sushirazawa. He had already made it up before he even told the story. This was his confidence and also his strength.

Since he can propose this battle plan in public, he is bound to be the commander of this operation!

"Yoshi! Lieutenant General Xiguang is indeed an elite general of the empire! I will prepare a celebration banquet for you in Taiyuan in advance!"

"Everyone in the First Army, from the commander down, has done meritorious service to make amends for their crimes! Otherwise, if we don't fight a tough battle, we will never be able to recover in this life!"

"The last humiliation is still fresh in my mind, Commander. I believe that as the elders of the First Army, you must feel deeply ashamed!"

"So, this is not just a simple battle! It is also a chance for our First Army to avenge its defeat!"

"Your Majesty the Great Japanese Heavenly Locust will be crushed to pieces! The First Army will be crushed to pieces!!"

When Shouzai Saburo heard the words "vindicate the First Army", his heart skipped a beat, and an inexplicable sense of foreboding came over him. This sense of foreboding came for no reason, just like the first sweet dream he had in adolescence, without a trace...

However, Shouqi Saburo quickly adjusted his mindset. This time, as long as this division dared to come, he would be confident that he could wipe them out completely!

How can you lose when flying dragon hits your face?!

What's more, he has a poisonous dragon in his hand!

Even if you are a god, you can't stop the invasion of poisonous gas...

Hisashi Saburo stood straight with a serious expression. He suddenly remembered that their First Army was still a defeated army, and now it was a joke to the entire North China Front Army and even the entire China Expeditionary Army.

Avenge! Avenge must be done!

If he doesn't avenge himself, Shou Xi San Lang will never be able to make a name for himself!

"Your Majesty the Great Japanese Heavenly Locust will be crushed to pieces! The First Army will be crushed to pieces!!"

"Your Majesty the Great Japanese Heavenly Locust will be crushed to pieces! The First Army will be crushed to pieces!!"

All the Japanese generals in the office stood at attention, with their heads raised high, and shouted with all their might.

Shouzaiburo's words inspired them, encouraged them, opened their scars, and ignited the fighting spirit in their hearts!

The commander is right. Which one of them is not a criminal? Which one of them is not a joke in the eyes of others?

This is definitely a great opportunity for them to avenge their shame and redeem themselves! And redeem the First Army!

"Alright! Go down and get ready!"

Shouzaiburo glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice.
