Chapter 872 War! Crossing the Yalu River (5) to fight back!(2/2)
Itagaki Seishiro answered on his behalf: "The initial losses are just an exception. Now that we have figured out the tactics of the China Army, the subsequent losses will become very slight! We are very sure that they will not be able to destroy the defense line and successfully cross the river, but the premise is that the United States
We must ensure air superiority! Most of the killings are caused by their fighter planes!"
Sutherland waved his hand lightly: "That's not a problem! We will immediately send more outstanding pilots to ensure the safety of the sky! But are you sure this is not a precursor to a full-scale attack?"
Itagaki Seishiro confidently vetoed: "Definitely not! China's military art emphasizes defeating the enemy without fighting! If they attack in an all-out manner, their navy will mobilize in coordination, and they will even use a large number of rebels to secretly instigate North Koreans and Chinese workers to cause trouble.
Riots and sabotage! If there are no such signs, then just a little space on the front line will not be able to displace their armored forces, and there will be no way to talk about a full-scale attack!"
Sutherland himself had not personally experienced the Sino-Japanese War. All the information came from various sources and provided by Japan, so it is not appropriate to be too arbitrary. Furthermore, the order he received was to let the Japanese fight the Chinese to the death.
We have to lose as much strength as possible, and when the domestic recruitment training is completed and the new fleet is formed, it is still early, so it is not bad to do it like this!
After discussing their opinions with the British, they nodded and agreed: "Okay! Then according to your judgment, we will most likely dispatch the air force. However, since the other party cannot launch a large-scale attack, is it possible for our coalition forces to take the initiative?
What about the cross-river attack? Even if it doesn’t make much progress, at least it won’t be passive all the time!”
As he spoke, his eyes were obviously full of hope!
Taking the initiative to attack and win victory is a move with great symbolic significance! Reflected in the country, it is the Far East Army Command's first record. Commander MacArthur needs such feats to determine the value of his existence!
"Active attack?!"
Itagaki Seishiro couldn't help but hesitate for a moment. But obviously he was a little moved! Because he knew that the Chinese on the other side of the river did not actually build a defense system. They had always maintained a proactive offensive posture, and probably never thought that they would be counterattacked.
Right? If someone comes suddenly, maybe it can be done!
At least, it's better than now, always passively being beaten in your own territory, right?
He hurriedly murmured to Nishio Juzo and then nodded resolutely: "As long as your army can ensure the scale of air transportation and the power of air cover, we might as well launch a surprise attack! In return for the challenge of the Chinese!"
Sutherland was overjoyed and asked: "How many troops can you dispatch to participate?!"
Nishio Hisao said proudly: "The elite of our Japanese army can mobilize two million at any time! How much you want depends on your transportation capabilities!"
"Then it shouldn't be a problem for our First Army to send some soldiers to participate?"
Itagaki Seishiro immediately understood the Yankees' intentions and nodded calmly: "We are very happy to fight side by side with friendly forces!"
Sutherland slammed the table and shouted excitedly: "Okay! Then I will report it to the Far Eastern Army Headquarters immediately. I believe General MacArthur will be happy to see such a plan succeed! Gentlemen, I wish our operation a complete success!"
Itagaki Seishiro and Nishio Juzo applauded, and then exchanged a hidden look, and hummed coldly in their hearts: "Young and Japanese bastards, do you really think war is so fun? Just wait and learn a lesson from the Chinese!" (To be continued)
