The Matsuura Division was in danger, and Okamura Yanji was also deeply worried in Nanjing.

Originally, because the main force of the ll army was on the Nanxun Line and the progress of Ruiwu Road was slow, the Japanese base camp had already made some remarks against Okamura Nishiji. This was also the reason why Okamura Nishi sent the Matsuura division to intersperse the horse back to the ridge. Okamura Nishiji wanted to break the deadlock in Jiujiang and to achieve a refreshing victory.

However, now, the expected victory has not come, and the Matsuura Division has fallen into danger.

It is completely conceivable that once the Matsuura division suffered heavy damage or even was completely wiped out by the national army, the base camp's disappointment with him would reach the extreme. Even if there would be no replacement at the last minute, the blow to his reputation would be fatal, which was absolutely unacceptable for Okamura Nishi, who was determined to become a marshal.

Early this morning, Junroro Matsuura sent a telegram, reporting that he was about to move closer to Honma division.

Okamura Yasuji expressed support for Matsuura's decision. As a frontline commander, since Matsuura made such a decision, he must have his judgment. At least from the moment, this decision is the most correct. Compared with the 10th Pei Regiment in the East and West Guling by the Kuomintang army, the Masaharu Division of Honma is in much better situation.

So as soon as he received the telegram from the Matsuura Division, Okamura Yasuji sent a telegram to Masaharu Honma, ordering the division to suspend its attack on the front of Ruiwu Road, mobilize troops as much as possible, and launch an attack towards Wanjialing, and no matter what, the Matsuura Division must be brought out.

The order was issued soon, and Honma's division also began to assemble troops, but Okamura's inner anxiety did not dissipate.

Major General Satoichi Yoshimoto, chief of staff of the ll army, could fully understand the anxiety in Okamura Yasuji's heart at this time. As a commander of the army and a famous general, Okamura Yasuji was under too much pressure. He had countless eyes staring at his every move. The bureaucrats in the base camp were not good at fighting, but their ability to pick mistakes was first-class.

Since he served as the commander of the 1st Army, Okamura Yasuji has almost never slept well for a day. His eyes are always covered with blood, and he has lost weight. His already protruding cheekbones are even more prominent. His body is so thin that it seems as if he can fall down as soon as the wind blows. It makes Yoshimoto Sadaichi feel a little sad.

War is also a torment for the commander

"Commander, Master," Yoshimoto Satoichi couldn't help but persuade, "Homa Division has mobilized four infantry brigades to launch an attack from Jinkou to Wanjialing. Jinkou is only more than 20 kilometers away from Wanjialing. At the latest at noon today, the attacking troops of the Homa Division can reach Wanjialing and form a two-sided attack with the Matsuura Division against the Chinese army that blocks Wanjialing. According to the report of the Aviation Scout, there is only one Chinese army that blocks Wanjialing, and it will definitely not be able to block the two-sided attack of the Imperial Army. Therefore, the Matsuura Division will definitely not be in danger."

Okamura Yasuji didn't say anything, but stared at the big map with his hands behind his back and silently.
