Okamura Yasushita is extremely big.

For the first time, he felt that the situation was so complicated.

It seems like I am trapped in a spider web, and I don’t know where to start to relieve it.

No matter what action you take, you will be bound tighter. It is best not to do anything at this time. Don’t move or lie down.

The problem is, he can't lie down.

He must take decisive measures. Otherwise, the situation will be even worse.

Yang Yue appeared on the Bohai Sea and sunk a Japanese destroyer, which was definitely a dangerous signal for the Japanese army.

It's still very, very, very dangerous.

Does Jinan need to be recovered?

certainly!

Must be recovered!

That's the face of the Imperial Army!

At the same time, Jinan is also the most important node of the Jinpu Railway.

The Jinpu Railway must be kept open at all times. Only in this way can the rapid mobilization of the two strategic areas of Central China and North China be achieved and mutual cooperation.

However, something happened in Bohai.

How many transport ships travel in the Bohai Sea every day? How important is it?

To be honest, Okamura Yanji didn't really care much before. Because it was too safe here.

It is safe to make all Japanese people forget that the Bohai Sea is actually dangerous. If the transportation line is cut off, the consequences will be very serious.

But no one cared.

Until Yang Yue's appearance...

"More than fifty merchant ships depart from Tianjin Port every day..."

"More than thirty merchant ships arrive at Tianjin Port every day..."

"Merchant ships travel to Liaodong, Shandong, and Goryeo..."

The staff officer read the information carefully.

The main things transported out are various raw materials, including coal, iron ore, manganese ore, grain, etc.

Of course, there are precious metals such as gold and silver.

The main things that come in are all kinds of finished products, including weapons, equipment, clothes, shoes and socks. Another particularly important point is to replenish soldiers. It is this that makes Okamura Yanji very troubled.

He is preparing to launch a new battle, hoping to severely damage the main force of the Eighth Route Army.

Weapons and equipment need to be added.

Need to add new recruits.

If these things were buried under the sea...

There is no need to fight this battle.

Among the five merchant ships that were sunk before, there were tens of thousands of canned beef and tens of thousands of military uniforms!

The canned beef is gone, and the troops can still loot on the spot. However, tens of thousands of military uniforms are gone, and the troops must postpone the replacement. I don’t know when this drag will be dragged.

Is the loss big?

Actually not big.

For Okamura Yasuji, the losses of the five merchant ships were completely acceptable.

However, the more terrible losses are still to come.

This is just the beginning!

Yang Yue's attacks will definitely come one after another.

It can be imagined with your knees that as long as Yang Yue is still moving one day, more merchant ships will definitely be sunk.

If a merchant ship loaded with weapons and ammunition, or even a supplementary military force, is sunk, it will be really done. This will directly affect the strategic decisions of the North China Front Army. It is not as simple as tactics.

The ammunition transported by a merchant ship is enough to supplement a wing.

If it sinks, it means that the ammunition backup of a unit is gone. If there is no clothing or bullet, you can only be passively beaten.

A merchant ship transports 500 new recruits, and it is almost possible to add a corps.

If a merchant ship carrying new recruits is sunk, it will not only lose 500 new recruits, but also lead to a shortage of front-line troops and weaker combat effectiveness.

If Yang Yue really came for a while, I'm afraid Okamura Yanji would vomit blood!

He almost dared not think about it now.

no!

Such things must not happen again.

We must do everything we can to eliminate Yang Yue. Otherwise, the North China Front Army will be more and more sad in the future.

No weapons and equipment...

No additional troops...

The Eighth Route Army will push the city of Peiping all the way!

This is not alarmist!

"Order the 109th Division to move to Tianjin immediately."

"Order the Tianjin garrison to do everything possible to ensure the safety of Tianjin Port!"

"Order the 108th Division to move to Langfang."

Okamura Yasuji issued three consecutive orders.

The commander of the 109th Division was Yukio Kasahara, who was the former chief of staff of the North China Front Army.

He has been fighting in North China for many years and should be very familiar with Tianjin Port. He moved to defend Tianjin Port and should be able to ensure the safety of Tianjin Port and not give Yang Yue the opportunity to attack.

Okamura Yasuji's cup of bow and snake shadow, fearing that there will be accidents in Tianjin Port.

At this moment, Tianjin Port, including Tanggukou, stores a large amount of combat preparation materials. It is the largest storage warehouse of the entire North China Front Army. If something happens here, the consequences will be even more terrible.

At the same time, the 109th Division was ordered to move to Langfang, which was to strengthen the defense in the Jingji area so as not to be sneak attacked by Yang Yue.

He didn't want to be broken into Peking by Yang Yue and make a big fuss about the Heavenly Palace here.

Peiping must not repeat the mistakes of Jinan. Ten thousand cannot!

Two divisions were transferred from the front line in one breath, plus the 14th division, which meant that three divisions were transferred.

Obviously, this will definitely give the Tu Eighth Route Army a chance to breathe. In some places, the Tu Eighth Route Army may even launch a counterattack. Especially the Tu Eighth Route Army Ding Wei's troops are likely to turn against the defense and attack.

This Ding Wei is also a big trouble.

During the battle between Shimen, he caused the Japanese army to be very injured.

Now, Ding Wei's troops are hiding dormant in a place in central Hebei and launching a fierce tug-of-war with the Japanese army.

The 108th Division and the 109th Division suffered hundreds of casualties every day. The losses were huge.

Okamura Yasuji was not sure how much money the Tuoba Route lost.

No number of bodies were found anyway.

The loss is not too large.

And that Li Yunlong is also a ruthless person.

He used the troops of a brigade to withstand the two ace divisions of the Imperial Army.

After the 108th and 109th Divisions are removed, the 6th Division and the 9th Division will definitely be transferred to another place. It will definitely give Li Yunlong a chance.

With Li Yunlong's ability, it is really hard to infer what kind of counterattack he will make.

However, Okamura Yasuji didn't care about so much. He had to ensure the safety of the Pektsu area. Otherwise, if something happened in the rear, the troops on the front line would be made into dumplings. The situation was even more dangerous.

Further arrangements were made immediately.

The Sixth Division was drawn out to deal with Ding Wei.

The Ninth Division continued to stay and stared at Li Yunlong.

"Your Excellency Commander..."

Suddenly, the deputy chief of staff tiptoed to send an urgent telephone.

Because the new chief of staff Tador Riri Lin has not arrived in Peiping yet, all staff work will be temporarily handed over to the deputy chief of staff, Colonel Kenji Hiroku.

Kenji Hiroguchi is a competent deputy chief of staff, but he is not suitable to be the chief of staff. On many major issues, his judgment ability is relatively poor. He often cannot grasp the key points. The previous chief of staff Yukio Kasahara had a very poor impression of him. The main reason is that Kenji Hiroguchi had a relatively poor grade when he graduated from the Mainland University, and even the people in the Sabre team looked down on him.

Kenji Hiroku himself knew it well, so he was very low-key.
