Kimura Hitaro was not in a hurry.

Although the base camp's order was that Ke Ri would take office, he was not in a hurry.

He needs to give Okabe Naosaburo enough time to accept this. One day is not enough? Then two days! Two days is not enough, then three days! Three days is not enough? That...

This time, Kimura Hitaro took over Naosaburo Okabe and became the commander of the Second Army. In fact, Kimura Hitaro was not very willing.

In private, he has a very good relationship with Naosaburo Okabe.

Previously, Naosaburo Okabe wanted to transfer the 32nd Division into the Second Army, and he readily agreed.

Unfortunately, the Expeditionary Army Headquarters and the Base Camp disagreed. The main problem appears in the Base Camp. It is said that Hideki Tojo disagreed and did not want to marshal them together.

Both of them belong to Hideki Tojo, and their relationship with Hideki Tojo is quite good.

Kimura Hitaro is even more brainless.

He publicly threatened that Tojo's brain is his Kimura's brain. What else does he need his brain to do?

Therefore, Hideki Tojo was preparing to establish a new army, with Kimura Hitaro as commander. In this way, he would have the strength of two armies.

Hideki Tojo is currently the director of aviation. The next step is the Minister of Land.

As the prime minister of the land, of course, you need to master a lot of core strength. The military commander is an important part.

The Japanese army is a very flexible organization. It may have very few troops and may have a lot of troops.

It seems that the 11th Japanese Army fighting in central China always maintained the organization of more than five divisions, and the total strength was never less than 200,000.

Before, Okamura Yasuji was the commander of the 11th Army.

Okamura Yasuji obeyed Tojo Hideki, but he was not Tojo Hideki's confidant.

Of course, Naosaburo Okabe was dismissed, which was not something Hideki Tojo would like to see. He would definitely find a way.

Rather than saying that Kimura Hitoshiro gave Okabe Naosabu, it was better to say that it was giving Tojo Hideki time. I hope Tojo Hideki can find a way to save it.

Of course, there are some words that are clear to everyone, but they cannot be said publicly.

Kimura Hitaro deliberately marched slowly and lazily, and never entered Jinan City.

In fact, he was not prepared to enter Jinan City either.

As long as he does not enter Jinan City, it will not be considered a formal successor.

As long as he and Naosaburo Okabe have no formal handover, there is still room for improvement in this matter.

Of course, an excuse is needed.

An excuse that can make the base believe.

"Baga!"

"What's going on?"

It happened to be this time that Kimura Hitaro heard the sound of gunfire.

The staff who observed the situation on the front line hurriedly reported that they had encountered fierce battles between the Eighth Route Army and the front line troops suffered heavy casualties.

"Baga!"

"The main force of the Eighth Route Army is there!"

"They tried to ambush!"

"Order the troops to stop advancing immediately!"

"Be on guard!"

Kimura Hitaro ordered decisively.

The staff around were all looking at each other.

Deputy Chief of Staff Colonel Matsuyama was also confused and felt something was wrong.

What?

Stop moving forward?

Be on guard with all your might?

Need?

There is no need for this?

It should be just some sporadic eighth routes.

There are plains around, how could the Tujiao Route Army ambush here?

Previously, there was a cavalry unit that had encountered sporadic Eighth Route Army outside Jinan City, and they should be them.

To deal with some sporadic Eighth Route Army, sending a squadron is enough.

This time the 32nd Division was dispatched, but there was a sufficient force of a unit!

In addition, there are chariot squadrons, artillery brigades, cavalry brigades, etc., which have very abundant troops.

How could you be afraid of any scattered terrain routes?

"Baga!"

"This is the main force of the Eighth Route Army!"

Kimura Hitaro repeatedly stressed coldly that the staff members no longer dared to neglect and hurriedly sent orders.

Then, the report from the front line came up and everyone was gasping for air conditioning.

Deputy Chief of Staff Colonel Matsuyama was even more shocked. He thought he had read it wrong.

The chariot squadron was completely broken?

What's going on?

How is that possible?

"Baga!"

"impossible!"

"It must be something wrong!"

Colonel Matsuyama cursed angrily. He immediately sent someone to verify.

As a result, the situation after verification was even worse. Not only did the entire chariot squadron break down, but the squadron that had attacked before was almost broken.

No one knows how many people there are in the Eighth Tujia Road.

However, the firepower of the Tujiao Route Army is very fierce, and there are also tanks.

"Baga!"

"It's really the main force of the Eighth Route Army!"

Colonel Matsuyama was shocked and reported to Kimura Hitotaro with a nervous look on his face.

This time the 32nd Division dispatched reinforcements to Jinan. The division commander Kimura Hoedaro personally led the team, and the chief of staff stayed in Yanzhou. The staff work was mainly handed over to Deputy Chief of Staff Colonel Matsuyama.

"Yoxi..."

"The main force of the Tujiao Route..."

Kimura Hitaro was also secretly surprised. It felt incredible.

He emphasized that he was the main force of the Tujiao Route Army, and he mainly wanted to delay time. In fact, he did not believe that there would be the main force of the Tujiao Route Army nearby.

The main force of the Tujiao Route Army has never been active in the plains. Because in the plains, they are definitely not opponents of the Imperial Army. The plains are conducive to the firepower of the Imperial Army, and it is definitely a disaster for the Tujiao Route Army. The cunning Tujiao Route Army will definitely not make such a mistake.

But why did all of my own chariot squadrons break?

You must know that it is a chariot squadron! There are seven tanks!

The tank squadron originally had 12 tanks. For the safety of Yanzhou, five were left behind.

Kimura Hitaro felt that having seven tanks was enough. The anti-tank weapons of the Turkish Eighth Route were very scarce and almost powerless.

Unexpectedly, before I could react, the chariot squadron was completely broken.

Moreover, even more amazing news came.

The Tujiao Road actually has tanks.

"Nani?"

"The tanks of the Eighth Route Army are bigger?"

Kimura Hitaro was simply unbelievable. When did the Tuoba Route Army, which was so poor that it was so poor, have tanks?

The key is that the opponent's tank is actually stronger than the Imperial Army?

Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

It must be a fake earth tank!
