Chapter 245 Military meeting of the Japanese 1st Army!
Chief of Staff Major General Yusei Tsukawa did not do nothing after learning of the 37th Division's disastrous defeat.
Instead, he had people carefully question the surviving soldiers of the 37th Division.
Because the surviving soldiers of the 37th Division are still in Lin'an County.
Therefore, Chief of Staff Major General Yusei Tsukawa could only ask the captain of the Komori Squadron stationed in Lin'an County to do this matter.
After seeing the surviving soldiers of the 37th Division, Captain Komori sent someone to investigate.
When Chief of Staff Major General Yusei Tsukawa sent a telegram asking.
Captain Komori reported all the information he had obtained, as well as the information he heard from the surviving soldiers of the 37th Division.
After receiving this information, Chief of Staff Major General Yusei Tsukawa made an analysis and concluded that this was a premeditated conspiracy.
It is also a conspiracy against the First Army.
Moreover, Chief of Staff Major General Yusei Tsukawa suspected that there were spies from the Tiger Guard Division in the First Army Headquarters.
Because only the headquarters knew about the plan to send the 37th Division to attack Chidong County.
The 37th Division didn't know.
After receiving the order from the headquarters, the 37th Division arrived at Chidong County in just one and a half days.
If the Tiger Guards Division had not known the headquarters' plan in advance, it would have had no time to react, let alone hide an armored unit.
Another thing is that the intelligence provided by the Special High Technology Bureau contained major errors.
An armored force of several thousand people appeared in Jin, but the people from the Special High Technology Bureau didn't even notice it.
Until now, Chief of Staff Major General Yusei Tsukawa still can't figure out how the Tiger Guard Division managed to hide an armored force of thousands of people.
These are not just thousands of infantrymen. Even thousands of infantrymen would not be easy to hide.
How did this armored force of thousands of people hide?
Of course, Chief of Staff Major General Yusei Tsukawa would never have thought that Zhou Weimin was a person with a system.
While Chief of Staff Major General Yusei Tsukawa was thinking.
The Japanese officers present also finished reading the intelligence analysis just handed over by Chief of Staff Major General Yusei Tsukawa.
Then there was a burst of discussion.
"Baga, there must be a Chinese spy in our headquarters, and this person holds an important position."
"Those idiots in the Special High Technology Department were completely unaware of the presence of thousands of armored troops in Jin."
"There must be Chinese spies within the Special High Technology Department. I suggest a thorough investigation of the department."
"It's not just the Special High Technology Department. The problems within our headquarters are even more serious and must be thoroughly investigated."
......
None of the Japanese officers present said that it was the fault of Yoshio Shinozuka and Yusei Tsugawa.
Instead, they put the blame on the spies.
Because of the disastrous defeat of the 37th Division, the officers of the entire First Army will be implicated.
Simply because the casualties were too great.
This battle can be said to be the greatest humiliation the Japanese suffered since entering China.
"Gentlemen, now is not the time to assign blame, but rather to consider how to deal with the disastrous defeat of the 37th Division."
"Following the disastrous defeat of the 37th Division, should the defense zone in northwest Shanxi be abandoned?"
A Japanese colonel frowned after hearing everyone's discussion, and then said seriously.
"We can abandon the defense zone in northwest Shanxi." Chief of Staff Major General Yusei Tsukawa thought for a moment and said after hearing this.
"Why, why should we give up the defense zone in northwest Shanxi? We can send the 35th Division to northwest Shanxi."
"The 35th Division can be fully mobilized now. Didn't the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army reach some agreement with us?"
A Japanese staff officer with the rank of colonel immediately retorted after hearing the words of Chief of Staff Major General Yusei Tsukawa.
"Gentlemen, half of the counties we occupied in northwest Shanxi have been occupied by the Tiger Guards."
"Since last night until now, I have received many requests for help from the Northwest Shanxi Squadron."
"I have already issued an order for all squadrons stationed in northwest Shanxi to evacuate."
"Northwestern Shanxi has now been occupied by the Tiger Guards. The situation in Jin has been changed by them."
"Furthermore, this time our First Army lost the 37th Division and also lost Northwest Shanxi. The agreement between the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and us is no longer useful."
"Our First Army is no longer able to control the situation in Jin. We must change this situation."
"Recently, the Eighth Route Army has been disrupting our railway lines."
"I suggest that our priority is to deal with the Eighth Route Army. I suggest... immediately mobilizing the 35th Division to encircle and suppress the Eighth Route Army in the railway area."
"We can give up on Northwest Shanxi, but we must have absolute control over the areas outside of Northwest Shanxi."
Chief of Staff Major General Yusei Tsukawa looked at the Japanese staff officer with the rank of colonel, and then slowly spoke to everyone.
"What about the Tiger Guards Division? Are we just going to ignore them? You know, the Tiger Guards Division just defeated the 37th Division."
"Our First Army must absolutely wash away this shame!"
The Japanese colonel officer who spoke first frowned and said after hearing the words of Chief of Staff Major General Yusei Tsukawa.
This Japanese colonel officer was an officer who was severely brainwashed by Bushido and was also an imperialist officer.
"We have to put the matter of the Tiger Guard Division aside for now. It's precisely because the Tiger Guard Division defeated the 37th Division that I'm worried about the Eighth Route Army and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army taking action."
"Although the Tiger Guards defeated the 37th Division, they also suffered heavy losses."
"So during this period, the Tiger Guards will not pose any threat to us. On the contrary, the Eighth Route Army and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army may attack us."
"We must now take advantage of the Tiger Guards Division's recuperation to mobilize our forces to deal with the Eighth Route Army and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army."
"If we mobilize our forces to deal with the Tiger Division now, the Eighth Route Army and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army will become a problem."
"And can we really completely wipe out the Tiger Guards? Don't you know the defense situation of Tiger Head Mountain, the Tiger Guards' headquarters?"
"That's a steel fortress. Without absolute strength and absolute confidence, even if we concentrate our forces, we can only defeat the Tiger Guard Division, but we can't destroy it."
"Gentlemen, we have lost northwest Shanxi. The Tiger Guards have become a threat to us. This is a fact, and we must face it squarely."
"Without absolute certainty, we cannot easily start a war with the Tiger Guards."
"At present, we need to stabilize the situation in Shanxi first, which means encircling and suppressing the Eighth Route Army and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army."
"Once the situation in Jin stabilizes, we can focus on dealing with the Tiger Guards. I don't believe they can truly stand up to our First Army."
Chief of Staff Major General Yusei Tsukawa frowned after hearing the words of the Japanese colonel, and then slowly spoke to everyone.
