"Hello, Fuji Ini Takun." Zhou Erzi smiled flatteringly.

"Well, hello Zhou Sang." Fuji Ini Mo Yoshi seemed much more perfunctory.

Seeing this, Okamura Yanji's face immediately calmed down and said, "Fuji Ine, I want to ask you a question."

Fuji Ini Yoshihiko didn't know that Okamura Yanji was already angry, and said in a stern hand: "Please give me advice from the commander."

Okamura Yasuji said in a deep voice: "It has been nearly two and a half years since the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War. Although the Imperial Army has occupied half of China, the security situation in the occupied areas has become increasingly severe, especially in the provinces in North China, the Eighth Route Army and guerrillas are already everywhere. Do you know why this is?"

Fuji Ini Yoshihito replied: "Because China has too many populations and too few imperial troops in the occupied areas, there are inevitably loopholes in the control of the vast number of occupied areas."

"Well, China has too many populations, and there are too few imperial troops in the occupied areas." Okamura Yasuji nodded happily and then asked, "So can Fuji Inikun tell me how to reverse this unfavorable situation? Or to put it more directly, can the three-light policy alone solve the problem?"

Fuji Ini Yoshihiko said, “No!”

"Soga." Okamura Yasuji said, "The three-light policy not only cannot solve the problem, but has made the problems in the occupied areas more serious than before. Since the implementation of the three-light policy in the North China occupied areas, in less than two years, the combined strength of the Eighth Route Army guerrillas has exceeded 400,000 people, which is enough to illustrate the problem!"

"Hayi!" Fuji Ini Yoshihide said, "Silently implementing the Three Lights policy will only force more Chinese people to the camp that faces the empire and the imperial soldiers. In this way, the Eighth Route Army will have a foundation for conscription. For this reason, the Eighth Route Army can grow from a mere tens of thousands to nearly half a million people in less than two years!"

"So, we must give the Chinese people in the occupied areas a certain degree of dignity." Okamura Yasuji said, "We must implement the Huairou policy in the occupied areas and ask the Chinese people to help the Imperial Army manage the Chinese people. In this way, the Imperial Army can maintain the public order in the vast occupied areas with a small amount of troops!"

"Hayi!" Fujimoto Yoshi said with conscience, "Mr. Commander, I apologize to you for my ignorance."

After a pause, Fuji Ini Yoshi turned around and bowed deeply to Zhou Niko, and said sincerely: "Zhou Sang, I sincerely apologize to you for the arrogance just now, please forgive me."

"Don't dare." Zhou Erzi shook his hands, "Don't dare, don't dare."

But Fuji Ini Yoshi insisted on bowing deeply, and stood up and said, "Zhou Sang, please do our best to do our best and work together to do a good job in the public security rectification work in the occupied areas of Zhejiang Province. Please!"

"Okay." Zhou Erzi agreed repeatedly, "Okay OK."

Okamura Yasui smiled and said, "Zhou Sang, from now on, you are the provincial chairman of Zhejiang Province. At present, I only have one requirement for you, that is, to form the Seventh Army of the Imperial Army as soon as possible, while maintaining the public order in the occupied areas, assist the independent mixed 11th Brigade to ensure the safety of the logistics supply line of the 13th Army."

"Yes." Zhou Tezi stood at attention, "I must do my best to not disappoint the commander."

"Yoxi." Okamura Yasuji nodded happily, patted Zhou Niko's shoulder again, and said, "Then, you go, I won't send you there."

"Hayi!"

...

In Hangzhou, the temporary command of the Guard Division.

Chief of Staff Akira Kinoshita, commander of the 1st Guard Brigade, Kiyoji Sasaki, commander of the 2nd Guard Brigade, Ria Akaga, commander of the 1st Cavalry Brigade, Hiroyuki Mianbe, commander of the 4th Field Heavy Artillery Brigade, Yishi Kuroda was gathered beside the division commander Yoshiro Iida and complained loudly.

As for the remaining dozen team captains, they are not qualified to participate.

Sasaki Kiyoji said: "Second Commander, what does the headquarters mean?"

Akara Rihara also said, "Yes, this is not OK, that is not allowed, how can I fight this battle?"

Hiroyuki Nanbu said, "I really don't understand what the command is worried about? Are we worried about our front-line commanders doing their own thing? But isn't this the only thing that should be done in war? Shouldn't the front-line commanders make a decision on the spot? What if everything is decided by the rear-line commanders, what should we do if we miss the fighter plane?"

Kuroda Yishi said: "This must be the idiot Usa Mitsuru. This coward must be bitten by a snake once because of the heavy defeat in the first Zhejiang-Fujian Battle, and then he was afraid of the well rope for ten years."

Iida Yoshiro did not participate in the discussion, but his face was not good-looking.

The reason why Iida Yoshiro was able to serve as the commander of the Guard Division shows that his background is not simple.

In fact, this is true. Iida Shojiro came from a family of military generals. His father Iida Toshisuke was a lieutenant general in the army, and he was also a baron and a nobleman.

Although he is only a baron, he is still a noble no matter how young he is.

The status of the nobles in Japan is transcendent!

Because he was born into a noble family, Iida Yoshiro thought of himself very much. This time he led the Guard Division to China, and he was trying to achieve a good record and was promoted to a general!

Yes, Iida Yoshiro's goal is a general!

However, before the battle started, the headquarters gave a tight curse to the Guard Division. Without the permission of the headquarters, it is not allowed to divide troops without authorization or change the combat plan without authorization. Instead, it must strictly follow the command of the headquarters and push forward steadily. Even the number of kilometers of propulsion per day has been calculated.

What is this? Let him be a marionette?

Let the Honor’s Guards Division be subject to remote control command from the headquarters? How can this be done!

If the front-line commander does not have the right to deal with the situation, how can he fight this battle? It cannot be fought!

At that moment, Iida Xiangjiro said calmly: "You guys, don't worry about the command of the headquarters. How to fight the war? I will be responsible for any incident. The only thing you need to consider is how to smash the opposite Chinese army!"

"Hayi!" Senior generals such as Kinoshita Aoshita, Sasaki Kiyoji were immediately excited when they heard this.

Iida Yoshiro turned his gaze to Kinoshita Aoshita and said in a deep voice: "Kinoshita, let's start."

"Hayi." Kinoshita paused bravely, then picked up the wooden pole and pointed to the map and said loudly, "According to the intelligence department, we are opposite the 41st Chinese Army."
Chapter completed!
