756 Anami Korechika
Itagaki Seishirō waited for a long time at the headquarters of the 11th Army, but he didn't get a call back from Tanaka Hisaichi.
This made Itagaki Seishirō very angry.
"Itagaki-kun, there's no need to wait.
Tanaka must be hiding something since he didn't call back.
The 7th Flying Regiment was with him, so something was probably wrong.
Otherwise, with the strength of the Seventh Flying Regiment, how could Ye Qingshan's bomber fly smoothly to northern Guangdong?
That’s simply not possible.”
The commander of the Japanese 11th Army, Anami Korechika, who was standing behind him, saw it more clearly and said to Itagaki Seishirō with a sneer.
"Baga, impossible.
The Seventh Flying Regiment plus the existing fighter jets in Yangcheng.
There are a total of 120 fighter planes. Such an air force is invincible in China.
How could something go wrong?
Stop talking nonsense."
"I know you are still angry because the General Headquarters transferred your 23th Army to the south to support the rd Army.
But this is not a reason for you to attack your colleagues indiscriminately."
Itagaki Seishirō turned around and scolded Anami Korechika.
This made Anami Korechika immediately angry.
"Humph, believe it or not."
Anami Korechika was already furious, and was further angered by Itagaki Seishirō's scolding.
He became even more unhappy and left immediately.
Anami Korechika left, but after careful consideration of what he said, Itagaki Seishirō
I also think it is very likely.
This made Itagaki Seishirō feel uneasy.
"No way, no way.
There are so many fighter planes in the Seventh Flying Regiment that even if Ye Qingshan had three heads and six arms, he would not be able to eat them all."
Itagaki Seishirō was still comforting himself.
But if nothing happened to the 7th Flying Regiment, then this doesn’t make sense.
But what if the Seventh Flying Regiment in Yangcheng is really gone?
Without air superiority, can the 23rd Army still defend Yangcheng?
The more Itagaki Seishirō thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he quickly reported it to the Japanese devil Nishio Hisazo.
Not long after, Nishio Toshizo called Itagaki Seishirō back and told him the truth.
"Baka, Tanaka Kyuichi you're an idiot.
You should commit suicide and apologize."
When Itagaki Seishirō learned the truth, he was furious.
It turned out that the old devil Nishio Hisazo had mobilized the spy he had planted in Yangcheng.
The truth of the matter was learned through a colonel officer of the 104th Division.
But it’s the same as what Tanaka Hisaichi thought.
Even if the old devil Nishio Hisazo knew the truth, he would not dare to withdraw Tanaka Hisaichi at this moment.
Otherwise, the Japanese in Yangcheng would be leaderless and would be annihilated faster by the 89th Army.
In desperation, Nishio Toshizo could only send a telegram to Itagaki Seishirō.
He was asked to call upon the fighter planes that were originally transferred from Wuhan to the Xiangxi battlefield, and fly south to provide air protection for the Japanese in northern Guangdong.
The troops attacking northern Guangdong cannot be allowed to be bombed again.
"Go, call Anami Korechi back."
Itagaki Seishirō had no choice but to send someone to bring back Anami Korechika, who had just left in anger.
“Starting tomorrow, we will send our fighter planes south to provide air support for the 22th Mixed Brigade and the nd Mixed Brigade.
Also, starting tomorrow.
You, the 11th Army, must speed up your withdrawal from the Xiangxi battlefield.
We must try to go south within a week. We cannot delay any longer."
As soon as Anami Korechika came back, he heard Itagaki Seishirō say this.
He immediately realized that something really happened to the Seventh Flying Regiment in Yangcheng.
"What? Did I really get it right?
Did the Seventh Flying Regiment really get squandered by that loser Tanaka?
This idiot is such a waste."
After hearing this, Anan Weiji showed a mocking expression.
He had long looked down upon this guy, Tanaka Hisaichi.
"Okay, stop talking about this.
At present, His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief has ordered us to move south as soon as possible.
We must not let Ye Qingshan succeed in this battle and take back Guangdong Province.
Otherwise, we will all be punished by the headquarters."
Itagaki Seishirō was extremely anxious.
In this battle, if Ye Qingshan really succeeds in recovering Guangdong Province again.
Then the curse of Ye Qingshan being the nemesis of the empire will finally come true.
By then, not to mention Chief of the General Staff Seishirō Itagaki, even Commander-in-Chief Hisazo Nishio would not be able to continue to hold his position.
They must be withdrawn by their domestic base.
Hearing what Itagaki Seishirō said, Anami Korechika sneered, “Itagaki-kun, you make it sound so easy.
Let our 11th Army move south as quickly as possible.
Did you know that our 11th Army has 200,000 soldiers deployed on a battle line that is more than 200 kilometers long?
The various tribes crossed several counties in western Hunan.
We were surrounded by more than 400,000 Chinese troops.
In this case, you let us get out of the battlefield quickly.
Are you kidding me?
Once we were retreating, we were discovered by the Chinese Army's commander Xue Yue.
We will pay a heavy price.
Don't you know how difficult Xue Yue is to deal with?"
Anami Korechika felt that the order from Itagaki Seishirō was simply making things difficult for him.
With such a large army, it would take them several months just to prepare for the war before they dared to start fighting.
The same goes for retreat.
A hasty retreat on the battlefield is a taboo in military strategy.
At this point, retreating hastily while being heavily surrounded by the enemy is even more undesirable.
Especially when the opponent's commander is a powerful figure, it is even more suicidal.
This is also why the Japanese headquarters clearly decided to order the 11th Army to go south to provide assistance to Guangdong Province.
The order has been given to the 11th Army for several days.
However, one of the reasons why the main force of the Japanese 11th Army is still in western Hunan.
According to Anami Korechika's plan, northern Guangdong would not be taken.
It is impossible for their 11th Army to move south on a large scale.
Itagaki Seishirō was not angry when Anami Korechika refuted him, but his face was gloomy.
He knew that what Anami Korechika said was not wrong.
But now, the situation in Guangdong Province is urgent, and they must find a solution.
"Anan Weiji, don't worry.
According to my information, the Chinese army commanded by Xue Yue has secretly received an order from one of their high-ranking officials and will not take the initiative to attack you.
They are now eager for us to go south and fight Ye Qingshan.
So, you can leave the battlefield bravely."
"Really?"
After hearing this, Anami Korechika also became serious.
If this is true, then their 11th Army will be able to leave the battlefield and move south as soon as possible.
"certainly.
The Chinese have always loved fighting among themselves.
This time is no exception.
There have long been many people within the Chinese army who do not want to see Ye Qingshan continue to grow in power.
This time, someone just wants to use us to get rid of Ye Qingshan.
It just so happens that we must also destroy Ye Qingshan.
In this case, it is not impossible for us to make knives for the Chinese."
Itagaki Seishirō gave a sinister smile.
"Yoshi, in that case.
Then I will give the order right now to have Aoki-kun's 40th Division leave the battlefield and head south.
Then the 6th Division, let the most elite 3rd Division cover the rear."
Anami Korechika made a quick decision.
"can."
Itagaki Seishirō also nodded, thinking that Anami Korechika's decision was more prudent.
