At the same time, it was at the front line command of the 9th War Zone of Xiushui County.

Zhang Lingfu said: "Master, we cannot execute this order!"

Xue Yue's eyes became cold and he said in a deep voice: "What do you mean is to let me disobey?"

"Yes, disobey!" Zhang Lingfu said in a deep voice, "The principal and the chief officers of the commander do not understand the actual situation on the front line, so they made such a wrong decision, but you are clear about it!"

"Yes, I know very well!" Xue Yue said, "It is clear that our First Corps is no longer able to continue! If this battle continues, our First Corps will fight all! I, Xue Yue, will also become the commander of the bare feet! There are 150,000 people, and 150,000 elite soldiers! Zhang Lingfu, how many are there now?"

"General, I know that our First Corps fights hard in this battle!" Zhang Lingfu nodded and said, "But the Japanese army is also very difficult. Believe me, Okamura's 11th Army is about to end its end!

Xue Yue stared at Zhang Lingfu with a cold look, without saying a word, and didn't know what he was thinking.

A fine bead of sweat immediately oozed out of Zhang Lingfu's forehead and said, "Master, please give me another three days, only three days! I only need three days! I will definitely see the answer in three days!"

The coldness in Xue Yue's eyes slowly dissipated, and he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll give you three days! Three days later, if the Japanese offensive does not decline, he must withdraw from the battle!"

"Yes!" Zhang Lingfu stood attentively and said.

...

In fact, it will take less than three days!

Okamura Yasuji's 11th Army has long reached the end of his strength!

Accompanied by Yoshisuke Yoshisuke, the commander of the 9th Division, and the chief of the 11th Army Staff Saiti Yoshimoto, Okamura Yasuji walked into the field hospital in Luoping Town.

Located in Luoping Town is the Fourth Field Hospital of the Ninth Division.

As soon as I walked into the gate, I saw two soldiers walking out of the cart with their trolleys pushing the whole cart of bodies.

After more than ten meters, Okamura Yanji smelled a corpse stinking mixed with excrement. Obviously, the corpse on the trolley had begun to rot, and there were also a large number of flies chasing and biting.

Sadaichi Yoshimoto quickly handed Okamura Yiji a mask.

Okamura Yasuji didn't dare to be timid again this time, so he immediately put on a mask.

Yoshisuke Yoshisuke and Yoshimoto Sakaichi also quickly put on masks.

Watching two soldiers push the bodies of a vehicle out of the gate, Okamura Nishi asked with a gloomy face: "Yoshujun, how is the reduction in the 9th Division?"

"Mr. Commander, I'm not optimistic!" Yoshizuru Ryosuke said, "There are not many combat personnel reductions, only three or five hundred people are reduced every day, but the number of people suffering from illness has become more and more serious. Especially since three days ago, the number of malaria has suddenly begun to surge. More than 500 people were infected with malaria yesterday alone!"

"Nani?" Okamura Yanji said in a lost voice, "Only 500 people were infected with malaria yesterday?"

"Hayi!" Yoshisu Ryosuke bowed his head heavily and said, "What is even more worrying is that the malaria condition develops very quickly and can cause death in just three days. In addition, we lack medicines, and now a large number of infected officers and soldiers die every day! But yesterday, more than one hundred people died of illness!"

After a pause, Yoshisu Ryosuke continued: "It seems that there will only be more dead people today!"

"Baga!" Okamura Neji gritted his teeth and cursed, "What are the bastards in the logistics department doing? Why is it so hard to get them to get a few ships of quinine to Jiangxi?"

Yoshisu Ryosuke and Yoshimoto Sadashi were silent when they heard this.

This matter is definitely not something they can argue with!

While talking, the three of them had already walked into the hospital.

But I saw that the hospital was already full of wounded people. Due to insufficient beds, most of the wounded people could only lie on wooden boards, or even lie directly on the ground. The ward was also very dirty and flies were everywhere.

Just as Okamura Yanji walked into the ward, a wounded man suddenly fell down from the bed and began to vomit, spitting out a lot of black filth, and then attracted a large number of flies and bites flying all over the sky.

Seeing this, Okamura Yanji's brows immediately frowned, which was indifferent!

Yoshisuke Yoshizuru smiled wryly and said, "Commander, over the past month, due to the intensity of work, the medical staff in various field hospitals have been exhausted, so most of the medical staff are infected with malaria, which has led to a serious shortage of medical staff in various field hospitals. Therefore, I can't take care of them."

Just as Yoshisuke was talking, a doctor in a white coat fell down and fell on the ground less than five meters away from Okamura Nishi.

Seeing this, Okamura Yanji's brows became even more and more tight.

Next, Okamura Yasuji was in no mood to inspect the hospital.

He hurried out of the field hospital until he could no longer smell the choking stench in the hospital. Okamura Yanji took off his mask and then sniffed a breath of fresh air almost greedily.

Sadaichi Yoshimoto took off his mask and said to Okamura Nagaji: "The situation of the commander, the 18th Division, the 101st Division, and the 106th Division is similar to that of the 9th Division, or even worse."

After a pause, Yoshimoto Satoichi said again: "The malaria epidemic is still at the critical point and there has not been a large-scale outbreak. Once the malaria epidemic breaks out on a large scale, if the Chinese army takes the opportunity to counterattack, the entire Second Army may suffer a catastrophe! So for a long-term plan, it is better to withdraw De'an and rest in Jiujiang!"

Yoshisuke Yoshisu nodded and said, "Yes, it's too hot here, and there are too many mosquitoes and flies! In addition, the bodies of the fallen soldiers on both sides of the enemy and us cannot be restrained in time, and most of them can only be allowed to rot on the battlefield, which can easily breed plague. Malaria is actually quite good. If it induces cholera or plague, it will be really troublesome!"

"Hayi!" Yoshimotozaki paused, "Commander, order the withdrawal of troops, withdrawing back to De'an, resting in Jiujiang, and wait until the weather is cool in September or October, and launch the next attack!"

However, Okamura Yanji was still a little unwilling to accept it and asked Yoshizuru Ryosuke, "Yizuru, how many troops are left in your 9th Division now?"

Yoshizuru Ryosuke calculated silently for a moment and said in a deep voice: "At most, there is an infantry regiment left!"

After a pause, Yoshisuke Yoshisuke continued: "But if all the infantry in this regiment falls down and the Chinese army takes the opportunity to launch a counterattack, the only thing waiting for our 9th Division is that the entire army will be destroyed!"

"Okay." Okamura Yasuji sighed and said sadly, "Then keep this corps and guard Wuning. The main force of the 9th Division and the rest of the divisions should be withdrawn immediately and Jiujiang will rest."
