Snow Leopard: Building the Strongest Elite Group through Robbery

Chapter 375 A War for Face

Shigeru Miyamoto followed Takeshita Shun.

After walking for a while, he still didn't understand where Takeshita Shun was going.

Is it like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth to seek revenge like this?

"Captain, where are we going next?" Shigeru Miyamoto asked as he quickened his pace and walked side by side with Takeshita Shun.

Takeshita Shun looked into the distance and said, "Go to the Independent Regiment."

He never dreamed that one day he would walk with the enemy, and that person was actually Zhou Weiguo, but he had no choice.

If he wanted to take revenge, he could only do it on one person, and that person was Zhou Weiguo. The rest of the people didn't have that ability, or they wouldn't take revenge on him.

Besides, he didn't know where his junior sister was. He just knew that she had escaped, but he didn't know where she was now. He needed Zhou Weiguo to track her down, and he was the most suitable person to do it.

Who said that? He is most familiar with the people in the Second Department.

"Familiar? I am not familiar with them at all. So now, I can't judge at all what the other party means this time." In the Wuhan office of the Second Department, Deng Yaoxian looked at the eldest and third brothers sitting opposite him with a dizzy head.

The two men came together and brought with them a piece of news that the Japanese army attacking Wuhan suddenly stopped its attack, and even some places were retreating.

The two of them came here hoping that the fourth brother could help them analyze what the other party was trying to do.

"Old Four, at least you have dealt with them more than we have. You should take this matter seriously." The eldest brother glanced at Deng Yaoxian and said.

Deng Yaoxian, who was holding a cigarette, glanced at him and then threw the document aside. "I'm afraid it has something to do with our transaction with the Japanese Navy."

"What you mean is, if I can't get it, no one else can get it either, right?" The third brother asked tentatively.

Deng Yaoxian shook his head slightly; "I can't infer this. After all, war is not a game. Maybe, his army is planning to regain its face from another angle?"

"Fourth brother." Du Xun came in from outside and handed over a telegram; "The Japanese army has assembled several divisions and formed a corps. They have boarded the ship and set off. In addition, there is also news from the Kwantung Army. About three divisions of troops are also being assembled."

Several divisions were assembled on the mainland, and the Kwantung Army was also assembling.

The other party, what are you doing?

"Who knows what they are going to do?" Chao Xiang Xiuling pouted and pointed at the map; "I guess now it's not just us who don't know what the Japanese army is planning, I'm afraid even the top leaders in Wuhan don't know what the Japanese army is planning."

Everything is a mess.

The Kwantung Army assembled three divisions, but we don't know where they were deployed, Shandong or Henan.

Even the top management doesn’t know, and I’m afraid we here don’t know even more.

Zhou Weiguo felt that this army should attack Guangzhou. According to the situation during this period, the Japanese Army was powerless to reverse the situation after the Navy occupied Wuhan. The only thing they could do was to delay time, so as to buy time for the Army to adjust its actions, so as to save their own face for not occupying Wuhan in the first place and saving their already insignificant face.

"This army should be deployed to the Wuhan battlefield. After all, they didn't occupy the first place, but they should still be interested in our millions of ground forces."

This is a fatal temptation. If they eat up this force, they will become more unscrupulous. After all, now they have no naval support, and it is not easy to use ships for transportation. They can only advance from the front.

"It's very likely." Chao Xiang Xiuling drew a circle in front of Wuhan and agreed with Zhou Weiguo, then pointed to the outside of the Great Wall. "Don't worry about Wuhan, but we will evacuate to the back and focus on preserving our strength. The question is, what are these three divisions of the Kwantung Army doing in the Great Wall? What is their purpose?"

"Oh. The troops from Guangzhou have been deployed." At the headquarters of the 11th Army of the Japanese Army, Terauchi Hisaichi put down his teacup, casually took the telegram handed over by his adjutant, glanced at it, and nodded slightly; "The strategy of the headquarters is correct. This time, we have achieved our goal."

No matter how the battle was fought in Wuhan, it was impossible to occupy it in the first place. Therefore, the Army Headquarters made corresponding adjustments and occupied a relatively important city in advance before the army launched a full-scale attack on Wuhan, so that they could be at ease when facing the Japanese army's cleansing.

And this place is Guangzhou. After occupying Guangzhou, the troops will occupy the rest of the places accordingly. By then, it will no longer matter who occupies Wuhan.

The army formed locally was responsible for the task of attacking Guangzhou.

Once they occupy Guangzhou, they will launch a full-scale attack on Wuhan.

"General, Wuhan has already dispatched three armies to the north. This goal can actually be achieved by the 21st Army formed locally. After all, they think that our troops are going to Wuhan. But I don't understand why the headquarters wants to send three divisions of the Kwantung Army plus an independent brigade to the south. Isn't this a redundant move?"

Is this unnecessary?

Terauchi Hisaichi chuckled, "The headquarters has always been very careful in doing things, so how could there be such a thing as an unnecessary move? The main purpose of the Kwantung Army's march south this time is actually three, and his role is definitely not part of the forces that are about to attack Guangzhou."

The adjutant shook his head slightly, he seemed a little confused.

Terauchi Shouichi stood up and came to the battle map; "Let's not talk about the situation outside the Great Wall. Since the last conflict, the two sides have been in a state of high tension. The North has even increased the deployment of two armies and two armored divisions on the border. This is not in the interests of the Empire's actions after defeating Wuhan and forcing it to surrender. It is imperative to slow down the diplomatic relations between our Empire and outside the Great Wall."

The solution is to withdraw part of the Kwantung Army. The transfer of this part of the troops can also create favorable conditions for easing relations in the north.

The adjutant understood what he meant.

But where should this force be moved?

The adjutant thought for a moment and pointed to Shanxi; "Will they go to Shanxi?" That is the location of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army. Those people have never surrendered, but have tied up a lot of the empire's military forces.

Going to Shanxi?

Terauchi thought for a moment and shook his head; "No, they will probably be deployed to the Henan battlefield."

Join the battlefield in Henan? The adjutant was stunned.

No... didn't they say that Wuhan was... given to their navy? Why do these... several divisions still need to be deployed to Henan?

The adjutant was confused. After a while, he asked, "General, I don't quite understand."
