Chapter 675: Call Britain and France and ask for their help. It will be absolutely no problem.
Zhou Weiguo tapped his fingers lightly on the edge of the table. Chao Xiang Xiuling's words made him fall into deep thought for a moment before he asked, "What is this key point you're talking about?"
Asaka Hiderei, sitting nearby, said, "With Tokyo declaring war on Britain and France, and Berlin launching a fierce attack, and Britain and France unable to reach them, who will they rely on? Will they rely on their meager forces here, or will they rely on the forces they recruit from the locals?"
"Unreliable." Takeshita Shun shook his head. "They're more of an exploitative force than a force for the colonists. Even the locally recruited troops are armed with only simple rifles. It's safe to say they're not even as good as the Sichuan Army."
This metaphor may be a bit discouraging, but it is a fact.
"Yes, under such circumstances, they can't just give up the Far East, or even give up Southeast Asia and even South Asia in the future, which will soon allow the Japanese army to land there."
"Impossible." Zhou Weiguo shook his head affirmatively and added, "They might give up the Far East or Southeast Asia, but they absolutely cannot give up South Asia. They are treating that place as a second homeland and will not give it up."
Chaoxiang Xiuling chuckled, "That's all right. If they can't rely on their own people, who can they rely on? Of course, we can."
"It seems that the opportunity to make a fortune has arrived." Ono had been listening at the door for a while.
When he heard Asaka Hiderei say that she wanted to rely on Yamashiro, his subtle eyes instantly emitted a hot light.
"What are your ideas?" Zhou Weiguo threw the cigarette he had just torn over.
This bastard Ono doesn't like military affairs, but he is a natural-born staff officer. It would be a waste of his talent for him to do business. However, he can't force someone to do something he doesn't want to do.
If Ono wants to do business, let him do it. Anyway, if anything happens, he can also get involved.
Ono took the cigarette and casually took out a match from his pocket. "Drive the Japanese out of Guangxi and show them with practical actions that we are capable of fighting the Japanese. As long as you provide us with equipment and supplies, we can destroy the Japanese army. As for the appropriate amount of supplies, that's up to us to decide."
Ono came to the map and said, "We must control the supply routes, especially the Beibu Gulf. It must be in our hands."
Alice looked down and frowned. "I'm afraid it's a bit difficult. We're near the ocean, and the Japanese fleet's naval guns will pose a great threat to us."
"They're one of us, don't be afraid." Chao Xiang Xiuling waved her hand and added, "There's one more thing I was just about to say. We'd rather have Guangxi under the control of the Japanese Navy than the Japanese Army. After all, the Army isn't one of us."
Zhou Weiguo put his hands on his hips and said, "Then why are we still chasing Nakamura? Let's turn around and attack the 5th Division."
If we drive the 5th Division out of its current position, I'll see how Masao Nakamura's troops can make a detour.
"Attack the 5th Division?" Zhou Weiguo, who had just returned from the front lines at the Guangxi battlefield command center, said this, leaving Principal Zhang completely stunned. "Why did you even think of attacking the 5th Division?"
"Sir, that bastard Nakamura Masao is trying to make a detour and link up with the 5th Division. He's calculated that we dare not block his path. After all, if we do, he might do something ruthless. Therefore, we think that instead of letting him lead us by the nose, it's better to attack the 5th Division directly. Drive them away."
Principal Zhang put the document aside and chuckled, "Tell me the truth."
This guy definitely wasn't telling the truth.
He won't do anything that is thankless.
"Since they are fighting with Britain and France, it is better for us to control the transportation line. Moreover, the Beibu Gulf cannot be controlled by the Japanese army, but by their navy. This will facilitate the transportation of our supplies in the future."
"This means a large-scale battle." Principal Zhang bowed his head and pondered for a moment before saying to the adjutant beside him, "Get ready. I need to return to the mountain city immediately."
If Zhou Weiguo's idea is followed, then this is not a local battle, but requires the full cooperation of the Fourth War Zone and this side. The other side will contain the main force of the 21st Army, forcing the main force of the Japanese army to be unable to reinforce, while this side will mobilize heavy troops to attack the 5th Division.
"You can prepare yourself, but don't stop chasing Nakamura Masao just yet."
"Okay." Zhou Weiguo nodded with a smile; "Then I'll wait for your good news."
"This is really not good news." At the 11th Army Headquarters, Okamura Neiji put down the telegram he had just received and had his adjutant spread out a map on it. He said to Yamadajima and Nanzō Yunko beside him, "What kind of person is Zhou Weiguo? He's like a dog seeing shit when he sees something good."
This metaphor.
Nanzō Yunko looked up at Okamura Yasuji, but after thinking about it, it made sense. He was the kind of person who would scream at the sight of something good.
"Yes. It's not an exaggeration to say it's a maggot in the tarsal bone." Yamadajima echoed, then asked in confusion; "But why do you say this is not good news?"
Okamura pointed at the map. "You can't tell yet? Zhou Weiguo's independent regiment consists of six battalions, one tank company. But look at the number of troops he's pursuing. Only a third of them are tanks. Don't you think that's a problem? Also, with the background of the people around him, how could they not see what Nakamura Masao is planning?"
It can be seen for sure that none of Sano Tadayoshi, Asaka Hiderei, Kuroki Ichiro, Fang Shengli, Xiao Ya, and Shen Xin are vegetarians.
If they can't see it, can't everyone else see it?
They saw it, but they didn't mobilize troops to intercept it.
"Why, tell me, what does he want to do?"
Yamadajima and Nanzō Yunko stared at the map and shook their heads slightly.
Sorry. They really didn't see anything.
The two men's reactions were surprisingly consistent, which made Okamura Neiji sigh. "You still don't understand? The troops that entered Guangxi have lost their value. They are planning to drive the 5th Division out of Guangxi."
Yamadajima looked at the area controlled by the Fifth Division and shook his head. "What are they planning to do? Are they trying to control the transportation line between Vietnam and Guangxi again?"
"Isn't that right? The reason they allowed us to enter Guangxi without restraint was simply to force Britain, France and other countries to tighten their restrictions on us. Now that their goal has been achieved exponentially, what value does the army entering Guangxi have?"
"This doesn't seem to make any sense, does it?" Yamadajima glanced at the map and casually drew a circle around Southeast Asia. "Isn't it unnecessary for them to do this?"
