    Seeing Germany¡¯s glorious victory on the European battlefield, the Japanese Army could not sit still. Soon the Army requested to go north to cooperate with the German army in attacking the Far East of the Soviet Union, and to attack the Soviet Union from east to west.

    ??The navy hopes to go south to compete with Britain and the United States for the Pacific Ocean, turn the entire Southeast Asia into a Japanese colony, and complete the continental policy that successive Japanese governments have fantasized about.

    Both the navy and the army are preparing for future wars, but their goals are completely different.

    In order to attack at the most favorable time, the Army conducted a special large-scale exercise of the Kwantung Army in Manchuria, while the Navy conducted actual combat training along the coast of China, but no one paid attention to the anxious Chinese dispatched troops.

    Yan Junroku is very aware of the changes in the country in recent years. Many people have been red-eyed by the war, including His Majesty the Emperor.

    Although the war of aggression against China did not bring much wealth and benefits to the Japanese government, and instead caused Japan's national power to decline a lot, it was a gluttonous feast for the Japanese royal family.

    In just a few years, the Japanese government plundered a large amount of gold, silver, and calligraphy and paintings from the country. The total value far exceeded the Japanese government's war consumption. The Battle of Nanjing alone allowed the Japanese royal family to harvest thousands of tons of gold. However,  All this money flowed into the Japanese royal family, and most people didn't know it.

    And Southeast Asia is famous for being rich in gold and gems, so all Japanese royal families, including the emperor, support this war.

    It¡¯s just that the one in the imperial palace is relatively deep-seated and is worried that the Japanese royal family will be tarnished by the world in the future, so he has always been hidden behind the scenes, and all matters are handled by the Prime Minister and the Minister of War.

    Yan Junliu knew very well that he, the commander-in-chief of the China Expeditionary Force, was actually a rat in the bellows, suffering from both inside and outside.

    The most important thing is that Yan Junliu himself and the vast majority of officers in the entire China Expeditionary Forces Headquarters believe that it is irrational to rashly provoke the Soviet Union or the United States, Britain and other countries before the incident in China is thoroughly handled.  .

    The resistance of the Chinese government and people is far stronger than those domestic bosses imagined. There is no hope of the Chinese government surrendering in a short time, and even peace talks are impossible.

    Under such circumstances, whether it is going north or south, the Empire of Japan will fall into a dangerous situation of multi-front warfare.

    Throughout the history of world wars, as long as any country is involved in a multi-front war, its possibility of victory is extremely slim.

    So after taking office, Yan Shunroku has been busy making suggestions to the country, hoping to stop the crazy actions of those guys in the country, especially that Private Tojo.

    But the result did not seem to be very ideal. He even sent his chief of staff back to explain the situation to the base camp, but those people remained unmoved.

    Multi-front combat seems inevitable, so Yan Junliu knows that he must speak out on behalf of the China Expeditionary Forces Headquarters, otherwise, the Chinese battlefield is likely to become a cow with blood drawn.

    This is completely conceivable. Although the Imperial Japanese Army has expanded many new units, the ones with real combat effectiveness are the Kwantung Army and the China Expeditionary Force.

    Whether going north or south, the most elite troops of the Imperial Japanese Army must be used. The Chinese dispatched troops will inevitably be constantly transferred away from the elite, which is the last thing Yan Junroku wants to see.

    Therefore, no matter what, at this time, we must be brave enough to make our voices heard so that those in the country cannot ignore their existence.

    After seeing the 11th Army's report on the second Changsha offensive and the North China Front Army's report on the "Thunder" combat operation, Yan Junliu almost did not hesitate and directly agreed to the combat requests of the two major military groups and carried out operations on the two units.  Increased firepower.

    However, given that Okamura Neiji had just arrived, and that the military chief of the North China Front had almost changed, Yan Shunroku was still a little worried about their operation, and immediately asked the chief of staff, Lieutenant General Harem Jun, to go to Nanjing in person  Fly to Peiping and guide the actions of the North China Front.

    Although Harem Chun's qualifications are average, he has served as the division commander of the 26th Division of the Mongolian Army and served as the garrison commander in the Datong area for two years. He is relatively familiar with the enemy situation in North China. He represents  It would be most appropriate to dispatch the Army General Headquarters to guide the North China Front.

    On September 23, Harem Jun¡¯s plane arrived at Nanyuan Airport on the outskirts of Peiping. Okamura Neiji sent Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Adachi 23 to personally pick him up.

    Only a day and a half later, Harem Chun, escorted by a group of Japanese soldiers, headed south from Peking to the important town of Shimen.

      At Shimen, the new division commander of the 110th Division, Lieutenant General Iinuma Mamoru, was ready to attack and was waiting for Harem Chun to arrive.

    In addition to guiding the operations of the North China Front Army, Harem Chun also shouldered a secret mission of the Sixth General Yan Jun, which was to take a good look at the combat effectiveness of the units of the North China Front Army.

    To be honest, the repeated defeats in battles have made Yan Junliu doubt the combat capabilities of the North China Front.

    Thinking about how powerful the North China Front was at the beginning, the army advanced along the Pingsui Railway, Pinghan Railway and Jinpu Line, and occupied most of North China in less than half a year.

    Most of the important cities in North China fell into the hands of the Imperial Japanese Army, including Peking, Tianjin, Taiyuan, Jinan, Xuzhou and other thousand-year-old cities.

    However, since last year, the North China Front seems to have had a bad year. It has lost more than 80,000 soldiers in less than two years. Adding in the four divisions that have returned to China and demobilized, the North China Front has suddenly lost hundreds of thousands of elites.

    Although the North China Front seems to have more troops at this time than in the previous two years, in terms of combat effectiveness and performance, it is simply incomparable with the previous two years.

    Not to mention the rise of the National Army's Sulu Theater, Jicha Theater and Li Guoyao's troops, even Tubal Road gradually showed its fangs, and a hundred-regiment battle directly shocked the base camp.

    In this case, Yan Junliu had to find out what the combat effectiveness of the North China Front Army was, and whether it was really as completely degraded as he thought.

    Since we want to find out the actual combat capabilities of the North China Front, hiding in the headquarters is definitely not enough. We must go to the front line of combat.

    Therefore, after arriving at Shimen and listening to the relevant enemy situation report from the 110th Division, Harem Chun decided to personally command the troops to attack Nangong, the central city occupied by the Eighth Route Army.

    Although Commander Iinuma Mamoru, the commander of the Shimen garrison, was very worried about Harem Jun's decision, after all, Harem Jun's status was extraordinary, and if something happened to him, the consequences would be serious.

    Last year, the North China Front already buried the deputy chief of staff of a dispatched army, along with more than 100 elite officers from the battlefield observation group. If another chief of staff dies this time, it will be very detrimental to the reputation of the North China Front.  A fatal blow.

    Out of this consideration, Iinuma Mamoru suggested that Harem Jun just command the battle from Shimen!

    However, his suggestion was not adopted by Harem Jun. Although they are both lieutenant generals, Harem Jun is the chief of staff of the dispatched army, while Iinuma Mamoru is just an ordinary division commander. There is a difference in rank between the two.  Quite a few, so Iinuma Mamoru only has the power to make suggestions but not to impose orders.

    In desperation, Iinuma Mamoru could only report the situation to the North China Front Army Headquarters and ask Okamura Neiji to take over!

    However, Okamura didn¡¯t say anything about this. He just asked Iinuma Mamoru to follow Harem Jun¡¯s orders and cooperate fully, and leave the rest alone.

    Okamura Neji knows that Harem Jun is a person with a strong personality and a relatively serious character. With Okamura's intelligence, he must have thought that Harem Jun is not just here to guide a small-scale battle.

    After all, Harem Chun¡¯s identity is there. The dignified Chief of General Staff of the dispatched army traveled thousands of miles north just for a battle with a scale of 20,000 people. Who would believe it?

    Anyway, whoever you love will believe it, Okamura Neji will never believe it!

    Therefore, when he learned that Harem Chun was going to personally command this battle, his first reaction was to cooperate fully!

    In this way, Harem Jun easily obtained the supreme command of the front line, and even Okamura Neji himself became an audience!
