"No, the current situation is very bad. If the Chinese army wants to surround us, they will definitely not reveal their position. Now that the Chinese army has unscrupulously exposed their deployment of troops, it means that they The plan has been successful, their encirclement has been completed...The current situation..."

Having said that, Okamura Ningji hurriedly walked to the sand table again. This is an overview topographic map of the Changsha battle, which clearly marked the scope of the positions of the two sides.

Originally, their side was still connected, but now, Okamura Neiji suddenly pulled out the flag of an empire in the middle, and the connected situation was cut into two pieces.

And the flag that was pulled down represented... the Nara Detachment!

Text Chapter 821 Order to retreat

After the Nara detachment was attacked, once Okamura Ningji took down the position where the Nara detachment was stationed, the situation on the entire battlefield immediately became clear.

At this time, Okamura Ningji could be sure that the intention of the Chinese Army was to encircle and annihilate them all.

And now, their situation has reached a very critical moment!

Not only Okamura Neiji, but other Japanese officers around him also understood. At this moment, they all looked at Okamura Neiji, wanting the commander to make a decision.

"Your Excellency, what should we do now?"

A little devil staff officer asked.

The current situation is already evident.

The intention of the Chinese Army is to surround them, and since the Nara detachment has fully exposed their strength, it means that the opponent's encirclement circle has almost been formed, and they are not afraid of them getting news at all, so they are very strong now. It's critical.

A decision must be made in the shortest possible time, whether to continue to attack and fight to the death or retreat to preserve the vitality, must make a decision in the shortest possible time, otherwise, the longer the time drags on, the more unfavorable the situation will be for them .

Hearing this, Okamura Ningji did not answer.

At this moment of peril, he walked to the window, looked at the scenery outside the window, and remained silent for a long time.

Seeing Neiji Okamura's appearance, those military officers did not continue to urge him. They knew that at this time, His Excellency the Commander must be struggling with repeated plans in his heart.

For a moment, all the people in the headquarters looked at Neiji Okamura. No one spoke, and the headquarters was very silent.

At this moment, Neiji Okamura was indeed planning and imagining repeatedly in his mind just as they thought.

He was very troubled.

In fact, when he got the news, he knew that their intentions and strategic planning for this battle had failed, and he already wanted to quit, but... the same sentence, he wanted to quit, But the base camp won't let him push it!

It is precisely because of this reason that he is so entangled!

If it weren't for the fact that the base camp was persecuting them, Okamura Ningji would have retreated immediately after the 106th Division in northern Jiangxi was wiped out!

Because of this Changsha battle, they have fallen into a disadvantage since the 106th division was wiped out, and now, with the war that broke out during this period, and because of the persecution from the base camp, he had to issue an order After several wrong orders, their disadvantage has reached an irreversible situation!

In addition, now, the opponent's intention is already very obvious, that is to completely surround them, separate the southern Hubei and the northern Hunan, form two large encirclement circles, and accommodate all the imperial troops who invaded Changsha in them .

If they don't retreat, with their current strength of less than 30 soldiers, the opponent's [-] troops will be able to completely encircle them, making it impossible to escape!

One side is the lives of the remaining [-] troops, and the other side is the attitude of the base camp. Neiji Okamura is now entangled in this, uncertain.

As a commander, he often boasted that he was unparalleled in intelligence, and he never thought that he would encounter such a situation.

He hesitated for a while and remained silent for a long time.

I don't know how long it took before Ningji Okamura suddenly turned around, looked at all the officers present, and found that they all looked at him with a kind of expectation, and there was some indescribable emotion in their hearts.

"Has the commander made a decision?" Seeing Neiji Okamura turn around, an officer asked hastily.

"Yes!" Okamura Ningji nodded and said.

After saying this, without waiting for them to ask, Neiji Okamura said slowly: "Withdraw the troops!"

"Withdraw troops?!"

Hearing this, everyone was stunned, and couldn't believe it for a while.

"Yes! Withdraw the troops!" Okamura Ningji said in a deep voice with no expression on his face: "For the current plan, we can only withdraw the troops!"

He said with complicated thoughts: "Our chance has been completely lost, and there is no point in being entangled here again. Instead of letting soldiers die here meaninglessly, it is better to leave as soon as possible to preserve their vitality!"

"When we attacked Changsha, we had an army of [-]. It has been less than a month since we fought, but only [-] are left. The loss is so heavy that it is beyond the range of our Central China Army. If the [-] army is defeated If we lose in the Battle of Changsha, our Central China Front Army will no longer have the slightest counterattack or even the ability to protect ourselves when facing the Chinese Army in the future. For the sake of the overall situation, we can only withdraw our troops!"

"Withdrawal..." They all nodded after hearing Okamura Ningji's words and this analysis.

Regarding the withdrawal of the troops, they already had this plan in their hearts, and they were not surprised even if they said it. After all, they are the staff officers in the headquarters, and the situation is very obvious. Right now, there is no point in continuing to fight to the death. Withdrawing the troops is the best choice.

but……

"But how can the base camp stop? Your Excellency Commander said to withdraw the troops, and if the base camp is held accountable, what should you do?" the staff officer asked worriedly.

"Base camp?" Okamura Neiji sneered, and said disdainfully: "If the base camp is really held accountable, I, Okamura Neiji, will bear it alone. What's more, facing this group of people, why should I, Okamura, be afraid? What can I do?"

For this group of people in the base camp, Okamura Ningji can be said to hate it very much!

In this battle of Changsha, if it wasn't for the base camp pointing fingers and making him make wrong decisions several times, the situation of the battle would not have been like this, and at worst they would not have been defeated so thoroughly.

It can be said that Okamura Neiji's patience with the group of people in the base camp has reached the extreme, and this withdrawal is a kind of provocation by Okamura Neiji to the base camp!

A group of gangsters, what qualifications do they have to command me, Neiji Okamura? !

It is okay to issue some strategies or orders in normal times, but in war, who is qualified to question or even command me Neiji Okamura?In his heart, even Yoshijiro Umezu, the commander of the Kwantung Army headquarters, did not have this qualification.

He used to seem indifferent to all things, that's because in his opinion, these things are not worthy of his concern.

He only needs to formulate a good strategy, and his generals will be able to win the war step by step.

This was indeed the case in the past, but after he became the commander of the Central China Front Army, he had to worry about a lot of things, so he couldn't just ignore everything as usual. reason.

It's just that he didn't expect that he would end up in such a fiasco when he personally commanded this time, which is simply a shame in his life!

Text Chapter 822 Dead End

And this time the order to withdraw the troops was actually Neiji Okamura's patience with the base camp had reached its extreme, and he had no choice but to resist.

So Neiji Okamura said in a deep voice: "I have already made a decision. Even if the base camp is held accountable, I will bear it all! I want to see what they can do to me!"

After all, he looked at the staff officers present and said in a deep voice: "Our chance has disappeared. The Chinese army has surrounded us. There is not much time left for us. We must evacuate the participating troops as soon as possible. Order to go on, convey my order to all combat troops, let them evacuate immediately, and rush out of the encirclement of the Chinese army!"

Hearing this order, the staff officers present looked at me and I looked at you, but in the end they bowed together and saluted together, saying in unison: "Hi!"

Although they were still worried, when they heard this, they knew that the commander had already made up his mind, and it was not something they could change. Therefore, instead of worrying here, they might as well take orders and plan carefully.

Strive to let all the troops withdraw safely!

So they quickly made up their minds, and then issued all these words according to Neiji Okamura's order!
