Chapter 20: The devil's routine is deep

"I'm going to the front line to command the battle. Miss Han, you better stay here, at least it's safe here. ”

Kondo was about to set off, he hoped that Han Yun would stay, Han Yun asked, "Is the other party really the 88th Division?" ”

Kondo nodded, and Han Yun asked again: "Then do you know which unit of the 88th Division it is?" ”

Kondo shook his head, and Han Yun said, "I'm going." You just said there was danger, and my mission is to protect you. ”

Kondo didn't object, what he said just now was just to care and improve his favorability in the other party, but what he didn't expect was to get an unexpected gain. The 88th Division has people she cares about, and even asked Han Yun, who has not been out of the house for six years, to make an exception for that person.

Kondo took Han Yun and immediately rushed to the front line.

When Kondo entered the brigade headquarters, the devil officers inside were waiting for him.

The captain from before stepped forward to salute and said politely: "You are Your Excellency Kondo, we have received orders from the wing, and now we have your full command." ”

This brigade junior is very polite to Kondo. It was so bold to hand over his troops to an officer of the same rank, which made Kondo suspicious.

Kondo returned the military salute and said more politely than the captain: "Don't dare to be the commander." I have been working in the rear for a long time, and you are the warriors of the empire who have been on the front line, and I should learn from you. ”

Kondo's modesty has a peculiar affinity that makes people feel comfortable.

The captain of the devil brigade said vigorously: "Your Excellency is humble. Kondo-kun is the most proud protΓ©gΓ© of General Dohihara, and he must have something extraordinary. The enemy only has one or two hundred people, and he is fighting alone, so it should be no problem to take Lanfeng. Of course, we will do our best to assist you and obey your command unconditionally! ”

The surrounding officers bowed their heads together and said loudly: "We obey the command of His Excellency Kondo in everything!" ”

Kondo exhaled and smiled softly, feeling an inexplicable sense of loss in his heart. It seems to be a picture of unity in front of me, but behind the picture is full of routines. These people have never regarded him as their own in their hearts, but just a tool to use.

First of all, these devils raised Kondo and degraded the enemy, if Kondo can't take Lan Feng, he will be slapped in the face;

Secondly, the earth manure was lifted to put pressure on Kondo. If he fails, he will not lose his own face, but the face of the soil;

Finally, there is what they call full command, full assistance, and total obedience. If you lose, it's Kondo's sin, and if you win, it's the credit of the 2nd Wing.

Before Ishiguro was so cheerful, Kondo already knew his wishful thinking. But no matter what, Kondo will do his best, and he will not easily let go of the opportunity to make a contribution and revive the lintel. Moreover, taking Lanfeng can save the 14th Division, and even change the situation of the entire Chinese war.

Kondo Kaoru saluted everyone and said, "I hope you will cooperate sincerely and contribute your strength to the holy war of the Japanese Empire!" ”

"Hey!"

Everyone bowed their heads in unison.

Half an hour had passed, and the devil had not yet attacked, which was beyond Xiao Zhan's expectations. The wound on his left arm was still aching, and he knew that he would go to the infirmary to stitch it up.

"Report!"

"Say."

"The soldiers sent out to scout have returned. According to their reports, the devils have occupied all the villages and strongholds on the outskirts of Lanfeng, with a strength of about 1,000 troops, and have also found a cavalry team of several hundred people. ”

Xiao Zhan said to himself: "The little devil is so fast. ”

There were only 3,500 people in one wing of the Japanese army, three brigades, and other chaotic arms. One brigade fights Lanfeng, one brigade defends the surrounding village strongholds, and one brigade serves as a reserve.

However, they are not an integrated wing. After several days of fierce fighting, there was no logistical support, one less bullet was fired, and one soldier died less.

Xiao Zhan has returned to his headquarters, and will focus on urban warfare next, using the surrounding streets, houses and other favorable terrain to block attacks. There are more than 300 defenders, and if you don't eat the devils, a brigade is really sorry for such a good fortification.

Xiao Zhan looked at the battle map of the Lanfeng area and ordered: "Send a telegram to the division headquarters: the periphery of Lanfeng has been completely occupied by the Japanese army, with a strength of about 1,000 troops, and the main force of the 2nd Wing is still in the northeast. The whole city of Lanfeng is still under our control, but the enemy already knows what we are doing. If you counterattack Lanfeng tomorrow, you can attack the Japanese army in the area of Xulou from the direction of Dengzhai. ”

"Yes!"

Zhang Jing immediately sent the telegram to the division headquarters. Xiao Zhan hoped that this information would be forwarded to the next level by the division headquarters, and now he was the eye of the main force.

Zhao Guangfu on the side looked at the Lan Feng City Defense Map, and he asked, "Is it really okay for us to deploy like this?" There are three defense zones in the west, but you only have one squad deployed. ”

Xiao Zhan asked, "Do you know game theory?" ”

Zhao Guangfu said: "I've heard of it, but I don't know. ”

Xiao Zhan explained: "Game theory is simply to formulate, digitize, and calculate the approximate probability of an event. In the process of the game between the two sides, predict the behavior and actual behavior of the other party, and derive the strategy optimized for us. ”

Zhao Guangfu listened to it with a half-understanding, Xiao Zhan pointed to the map with an actual demonstration, and said, "Calculate the probability first." The probability of attacking from the west is 10%, 20% in the south, 30% in the north, and 40% in the east, and the deployment of troops is carried out according to the probability. The Japanese army came from the northeast, and the main force and logistics were in the northeast, while the team attacking us was in the east. ”

It's not that Xiao Zhan doesn't want to deploy the west, it's true that there are no soldiers available, even if the devil attacks the west, he has a backup move.

Xiao Zhan pointed to the map to the west and said, "Imagine if the devil attacks from the west. First, distance. Logistics, transportation of the wounded will be a big problem; Second, troops. The devil's strength is limited, if the troops are invested too much, there will be weak links in other places, and it is possible to draw water with bamboo baskets if it is too little; Third, let's not forget that the west side is our big rear. ”

After speaking, Xiao Zhan pointed to the Lanfeng battle map and said: "There are only more than 1,000 enemies in the outlying strongholds of Lanfeng, and the west and south directions are the weakest. They are not attacking Lanfeng, but defending Lanfeng, and we have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses on the periphery. ”

"I understand." Zhao Guangfu had a feeling of suddenness, and said: "Old man, being a company commander is really condescending." ”

"Don't say that. It's just talking on paper, it's just talking about it. ”

Xiao Zhan smiled ashamedly. In the final analysis, war is a big psychological war, a game of life and death.

"Report!"

A herald walked into the headquarters and saluted and reported: "The devils are gathering troops in the east, and a large number of devils are also being found in the northeast and southeast directions. ”

Xiao Zhan said: "I know, send the order down and let the various departments prepare to face the battle." ”

"Yes!"

The herald turned to leave, and Zhao Guangfu asked, "How can it be in the northeast and southeast directions?" What is Lian Chang Xiao's opinion? ”。

Zhao Guangfu's tone carried a hint of mockery, the devil did not play according to the routine this time, which was unexpected by Xiao Zhan. Could it be that the devil wants to climb the wall?

Xiao Zhan stiffened his head and said, "Everything is under control...... bar. ”
