In addition to these examples, counting the exploits of the 4th Division, there was basically no defeat on the battlefield, and even if there were defeats, the Japanese 4th Division suffered very small casualties.

The 4th Division of the Japanese Army may be a fluke to defeat the opponent once or twice, but if it defeats a strong opponent many times, then the 4th Division will inevitably have a winning trick that surpasses other Japanese divisions.

In fact, the officers and generals present here are also well aware of the strong combat effectiveness of the 4th Division before.

However, according to the intelligence information held by other generals, it was learned that the 4th Division had long lost the will to fight, and was passive in combat, and as long as it was given money, guns and artillery could be traded casually.

Such a strange merchant unit, in other words, everyone would think that the 4th Division is just a waste army with the number of a division of the first type.

Li Hong just proposed to use heavy troops to guard against the 4th Division, which is a tactic that violates common sense.

It is a bit difficult to agree and convince people to concentrate their forces on the 4th Division, which has long lost its combat effectiveness, instead of besieging the vanguard of the 10th Division Zhuangnai.

In the conference room, most of the officers and generals just shook their heads at Li Hong's opinions.

However, the attitudes of Li Zongyao and Bai Wenqing were not very clear, and they neither agreed with Li Hong's combat views, nor did they deny Li Hong's analysis.

Li Hong looked at the rebuttal attitudes of the officers and generals in the conference room, and then said: "Ladies and gentlemen, although what I said just now is just my Li Hong's personal words, I would like to ask, who of you here has really fought with the 4th Division?" Who bargained again in the hands of the 4th Division? ”

"I, Li Hong, think that I am empty-eyed, and I can not take any Japanese division in my eyes, but the 4th Division of the Japanese Army, I Li Hong dare not say that I can defeat the opponent!"

Li Hong's evaluation of the 4th Division of the Japanese Army is enough to arouse everyone's attention to this wonderful unit.

What about the 5th Division of the Japanese Army? The 21st Brigade Regiment, the flower of the army, was almost destroyed by the Security Regiment, but what about the 10th Division? It's the same as a vulnerable subordinate defeat!

Li Hong faced a cunning unit like the 4th Division, which often violated common sense, and to be honest, he was really not arrogant enough to easily defeat the other party.

The Devil's 4th Division team is unpredictable, and even contemptuous, and other generals may have the confidence to win the 4th Division.

Anyway, Li Hong has never fought with the 4th Division, he does not have this kind of blind self-confidence!

After a while, Li Zongyao spoke: "Ladies and gentlemen, what Advisor Li said just now was not presumptuous, in fact, we don't know about the 4th Division of the Japanese Army, despise the opponent, and cause irreparable losses. ”

"If we are really told by Advisor Li, we concentrate our forces to encircle and annihilate the enemy in Taierzhuangzhuang, and the Japanese 4th Division will counter-surround our reinforcements, who can bear such losses and responsibilities? Who bears the burden of this national sinner? ”

Li Zongyao's words were speechless to the other officers and generals who asked.

The conference room was silent for a while, Bai Wenqing looked at Li Hong, who looked indifferent, and said, "Consultant Li, tell me, what can we do to restore the declining situation in Taierzhuang?" ”

In fact, Xiao Zhuge Bai Wenqing had already thought of a trick to break the enemy and defend Taierzhuang, he asked Li Hong like this, just to test whether Li Hong really has a strategic vision, which can be of great use.

In the face of major military affairs, Li Hong did not have the slightest reservation, and he explained in detail all his views and strategies.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there are only two points to say, the first point is that the defenders in the city are holding Taierzhuang to the death, using street fighting to absorb and drag the enemy's main attacking force, and the second point is that our army concentrates its forces and quietly moves outside the village, and surrounds the three divisions of the Japanese invaders with lightning speed."

"When our army completes the encirclement and counteroffensive, the enemy will inevitably panic, at this time, our army must not take the initiative to attack the 4th Division, we will leave a way for the 4th Division to escape, and finally use the superiority of troops to ......break the enemy's 5th and 10th Divisions."

After listening to Li Hong's battle plan, many generals were a little confused, since the encirclement had been formed, why let go of the 4th Division?

After Bai Wenqing knew Li Hong's battle plan, his eyes suddenly lit up, revealing a look full of appreciation.

Bai Wenqing's strategy of defending the city and the tactics of encirclement and annihilation are similar to Li Hongda's, but one difference between the two of them is that Bai Wenqing did not mean to let go of the 4th Division.

Of course, Li Hong offered to take the initiative to let go of the 4th Division, known as Little Zhuge Bai Wenqing, thought about it and soon understood Li Hong's deep meaning.

The general, who had spoken earlier, spoke again: "Adviser Li, what is the meaning of your proposal to let the 4th Division go?" ”

Before Bai Wenqing could speak, he stood up and said, "Consultant Li's true thoughts, let me tell you!" ”

"The Japanese 4th Division is fighting passively, this is a well-known fact, once the encirclement is formed, the 4th Division will inevitably choose to withdraw quickly, if we block the back road of the 4th Division, this unit will definitely join hands with the other two Japanese divisions to fight desperately with our army to break through the encirclement......"

Bai Wenqing considered the combat effectiveness of the troops in the 5th Theater, and the enemy's three divisions and regiments joined forces to break through the encirclement, and the national army could not stop it at all, and the encirclement could only save the situation in Taierzhuang, but could not achieve the goal of effectively annihilating the enemy.

Tactically, let go of the 4th Division and besiege the 5th and 10th Divisions, although it could not completely annihilate the two divisions, it could inflict heavy losses on the Japanese army, and the results were definitely greater than before.

The officers and generals in the conference room listened to Bai Wenqing's analysis in shock, and then, everyone looked at Li Hong and raised their palms.

"Bang Bang !!"

The applause was unusually loud and neat, which fully showed everyone's affirmation and respect for Li Hong.

To be honest, Bai Wenqing has begun to admire Li Hong's strategic foresight.

This Li Hong's title of special adviser was really not given in vain, and everyone seemed to see that a great battle of victory that caused a sensation in the whole country was brewing......

Li Hong only has the right to speak, the final decision-making power, and how to mobilize a large army to fight, which lies with Bai Wenqing and Li Zongyao.

Bai Wenqing and the others all agreed with Li Hong's battle plan, and Li Zongyao himself did not have any objections.

Subsequently, Li Zongyao and Bai Wenqing invited Li Hong to walk in front of the sand table and began to discuss how to deploy and mobilize troops.

Everyone stood in front of the sand table, and during the troop deployment conversation, the commanders of the theater would sometimes ask Li Hong for advice.

Li Hongzhi said everything and discussed with other officers and generals......

The meeting lasted more than four hours before it ended.

Li Hong did not stay in the camp of the theater headquarters for a long time, but he went to the army hospital by the way, and by the way, he took a look at the officers and soldiers who were recuperating in the hospital.
