Chapter 539 They might open up a new battlefield
What to do next?
Sakatan Seishirō and Arita Hachirō fell into deep thought.
Yes, the situation is very clear. Although European and American countries have not intervened in name, for their own interests, they have ignored the threats and opposition of the empire and are providing assistance to the mountain city.
Just as the Prime Minister said, if it happens once, there will be a second time. So how should the Empire respond? Should it really go to war with them?
I’m afraid the empire doesn’t have such capability yet.
"They have two options to go." Changsha Independent Regiment Headquarters. Zhou Weiguo, who had returned from the mountain city, summoned the people from the Independent Regiment Headquarters to discuss the matter after getting the final solution.
Zhou Weiguo mentioned one thing. Tokyo would not let it go like this. Moreover, they might also analyze that various countries have officially intervened, especially the British. They provided Shancheng with a heavy artillery production line. The purpose was too damn obvious.
The purpose is to feed Yamashiro and continue fighting with Tokyo, so as to maintain their interests in the Far East and South Asia. After all, if Yamashiro surrenders, the first one to be dealt with will definitely be the British.
What will the Japanese army do?
After the question was raised, everyone was thinking about it, and Asaka Hiderei proposed two possible paths the other party might take.
"Tell me about it." Zhou Weiguo put down the teacup and looked at Chao Xiang Xiuling who was sitting next to Xiao Ya and eating melon seeds.
Chaoxiang Xiuling hummed and spoke slowly; "With the current capabilities of the Japanese army, it is impossible to go to war with Britain, and their resources are still sufficient, let alone taking risks. However, if they are allowed to provide aid again and again, Tokyo will not be able to bear such a knife-cutting flesh. Therefore, I think they should open up another battlefield next."
"Why open another battlefield?" Fang Shengli, who was making tea, raised his head and asked with a frown.
Minamizo Akiko, who was sitting with Shen Xin, smiled and said, "This is simple. I can't control the material aid from you European and American countries to them, but can't I cut off your delivery route to them? No matter how you provide aid or support, the premise is that these things can be transported in. One of the purposes of the Japanese army's attack on Guangzhou is to cut off our water transportation."
Snapped……
Fang Shengli slammed the table and blurted out, "Guangxi."
At present, the water route has been cut off by the Japanese army, so there are only two most suitable routes for handover, one is Yunnan and the other is Guangxi.
Yunnan borders Myanmar, which was a British colony. However, there are high mountains in the north and no roads connecting the country. Therefore, material aid and some necessities purchased in the mountain city are now transported through Guangxi. If they attack Guangxi, this road will be cut off by the other side.
"Damn it." Zhou Weiguo frowned and cursed, looking at everyone; "Although we won a great victory this time, it seems that we seem to have cut off the path of foreign aid."
Tadayoshi Sano and Ichiro Kuroki have taken out the map. After careful study, they came to the conclusion that if this line was cut off, it would not be a good thing for the mountain city.
Xiao Ye, who was sitting next to them without saying anything, saw that the faces of several people were not very good, so he knocked on the table; "No, he opened up a new battlefield. Isn't this good? Don't forget that what we have to do some time ago is to have more contact with them and consume their reserve materials. Isn't this a good thing?"
"Damn it. You just want to open up another front and give us the opportunity to make money, so let's do it." Fang Shengli grabbed a ruler next to him and threw it at him, saying, "The supply line has been cut off by them, so we have to fight and rob with our lives."
Ono stretched out his hand to grab the ruler and stood up to the map; "You only saw that the supply line was cut off, why don't you think about the problem from another angle? If this line is cut off, the ones who should be worried are not necessarily us, but the British side, because without external aid, everyone knows that we can't hold on for long."
This is a fact. Although Yamashiro will never surrender and will fight the Japanese army to the end, European and American countries, especially Britain, cannot afford to take the risk.
Sano Tadayoshi also nodded beside him; "Well, from their point of view, surrendering if you can't win is a very wise choice, so they will also think that if we can't hold on, we will surrender. If this is the case, then their attack is indeed a good thing for us from another perspective, and it will also increase their material reinforcements for us."
Xiao Ya stood up and walked to the map; "Without the Guangxi transport line, we still have the Northwest transport line and the Yunnan transport line, but the cost will increase accordingly, but this is not important to us. What is important is that their dissatisfaction with the Japanese army will increase accordingly, and the restrictions on Tokyo will also deepen."
"I have to go to the headquarters, Xiao Ya, come with me." After hearing this, Zhou Weiguo stood up and walked out.
Chao Xiang Xiuling, who was grabbing melon seeds, sighed, "Hey, hey, I haven't said the second one yet."
"Come back and talk later."
Zhou Weiguo waved his hand after walking out and jumped directly into the car.
The headquarters of the Ninth War Zone, Commander Bai, after finishing the military meeting, adjusted the troops on the front lines in front of the battle map, those who needed to withdraw for rest did so, and those who needed to fight on the front lines fought on the front lines.
After doing all this, he was discussing with Commander Xue, who had returned from the Jiangxi battlefield, whether there were any flaws in the entire deployment.
Hearing that Zhou Weiguo had arrived, Officer Bai threw the pencil in his hand on the table and said, "Let him in."
Zhou Weiguo and Xiao Ya entered the operations room side by side. Everyone here was familiar with Zhou Weiguo and greeted him accordingly.
Zhou Weiguo nodded to each of these people and then came to Commander Bai.
"Is there something?" He seemed to remember that it had been less than an hour since this guy returned from the war zone headquarters.
Zhou Weiguo nodded and said, "Yes, sir. After I went back, I conducted a serious analysis with my colleagues and found that the Japanese army might launch a large-scale military operation next."
"You mean the frustration they had this time?" Commander Bai turned around and sat back down in his chair, then picked up his teacup. "The High Command has already made an analysis and ordered all theaters to be on high alert."
Zhou Weiguo shook his head; "Sir, the defense lines between the various war zones and the Japanese army have actually been relatively stable. When launching an attack, it is just a matter of who advances tens or hundreds of kilometers. The military action I want to talk about is that they may open up a new battlefield."
New battlefield?
Commander Bai paused for a moment while holding the teacup, then raised his head and looked at Zhou Weiguo; "Where are you talking about?"
