The chief of staff does not know where the self-confidence of the army commander comes from!

In today's North China, not only the Shanxi garrison has suffered heavy casualties, but the entire North China Front suffered heavy casualties in last year's winter sweep!

The reinforcements sent by China and Manchuria to the front army are limited, and there are more monks and less porridge, which is not enough at all!

In this case, it is too difficult for the Shanxi garrison to get heavy reinforcements from the front army!

Of course, if only heavy artillery troops are reinforced, then it is still possible!

There are still quite a few heavy artillery units directly under the front army!

They are strategic support forces, do not undertake local garrison tasks, and can maneuver at will in North China to reinforce all places!

Thinking of this, he immediately asked: "Sir, are we being reinforced by infantry or artillery!" ”

"The last time the Front Army promised our heavy artillery troops, in addition to the heavy mortar brigade in place, there is no shadow of the field artillery and the independent mountain artillery brigade!"

"Will there be no reinforcements again!"

"There are also infantry, as far as I know, the front army has no troops available, is it possible that the country has replenished our North China Front army with new troops!"

The commander's face was not shocked, and he still had a very confident expression!

But instead of answering directly, he stared at the chief of staff and asked rhetorically.

"Do you know who the major general of the front army transferred to us is?"

"Nakata Shan Lang, the leader of the army that the Nakata family has focused on cultivating, was transferred directly from China by ship!"

The Chief of Staff's face became complicated at that time, and he looked at the army commander and asked, "Sir, are the rumors about the Nakata family true by the front army?" ”

"The successor of the Nakata family was once captured by the garrison regiment, and it was they who paid a huge price to redeem the person, in order to destroy the evidence, they broke the message in the army, and then came to attack the garrison regiment and kill this culprit!"

"Otherwise, how could they suddenly get involved in this!"

"You must know that their family forces mainly send troops in the country and the south, and the impact on the North China Front is almost negligible, otherwise they would not have transferred people from the country thousands of miles away!"

The army commander suddenly interrupted: "Chief of Staff, rumors are rumors, you are also a high-ranking officer in the empire, have you even forgotten the minimum military regulations?" Moreover, the decision of the front army and the Nakata family are not something we can criticize. ”

"No matter what the reason for the Nakata family's involvement in this matter, for our Shanxi garrison, there is no doubt that there is only good and no harm!"

"Hey!" The chief of staff reacted suddenly, and then broke out in a cold sweat!

This rumor has been in the army for a long time!

The Nakata family paid a huge price to ransom people from the garrison group and conduct private transactions, to put it bluntly, they are the enemy!

If this incident had happened to an ordinary officer in the army, the gendarmerie command would have found out about it a long time ago!

But this matter involves the Nakata family, a big family with huge power in the country!

So there are a lot of rumors, but no one has checked them!

Even the front army didn't dare to offend the Nakata family, let alone a major general and chief of staff!

If the commander hadn't reminded him in time, what he had just said would have been passed out! As long as the Nakata family moves their fingers, their future in the army is over, and then they end in the position of major general and chief of staff.

From now on, promotions and promotions will not have anything to do with themselves!

"Thank you, sir, for the reminder!" The chief of staff, who figured it all out, hurriedly replied, his face full of gratitude!

Then start analyzing the matter!

"No matter what the purpose of the Nakata family's involvement in this matter is, as long as Nakata Mountain Langneng can command the troops to take out the garrison regiment. His military rank will be promoted from major general to lieutenant general, and he will become a high-ranking officer in the imperial army, and the influence of the Nakata family in the army will also be greatly increased! ”

"This benefit alone is worth the Nakata family to concentrate all their resources to support Nakata Shanlang, completely kill the garrison, and win this great feat!"

"Not bad!" The commander affirmed!

"Although the influence of the Nakata family in the North China Front is not large, if the family force is mobilized, it will definitely be able to mobilize the front army to send heavy troops to reinforce us from the already small number of troops!"

"So in this new round of sweep against the garrison regiment, the imperial army will definitely be able to have an absolute superiority in strength and firepower!"

"Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed!"

"How to assemble troops to besiege the garrison regiment next, we can leave it to the Nakata family to do!"

"I believe that the Nakata family will definitely do their best to win this great credit!"

"What we need to do is to destroy the five things that the garrison regiment is doing in the three counties of Laiyuan, not let them build a base area, not give them time to train recruits, and create better conditions for the siege of the garrison regiment in the future!"

"I'll contact my classmates in the headquarters right now to confirm how many troops the Nakata family plans to deploy to besiege the garrison, so that I know myself and my opponent!"

"Chief of Staff, you immediately organize the General Staff and the Intelligence Department to jointly formulate an action plan and crack the five things that the garrison is doing one by one!"

"Study a few more action plans, and we'll choose a specific action plan tomorrow morning!"

The headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, the deputy commander-in-chief, the deputy chief of the general staff, several senior staff officers, the head of the guard regiment, seven or eight people gathered around the flying thunder cannon that had been used on a large scale by the garrison regiment, pointing and pointing!

Some people are amazed, some people are skeptical, some people are excited, and their expressions are very complicated!

After everyone calmed down, the deputy chief of the general staff spoke!

"Boss, comrades, the weapon you see is named the Flying Thunder Cannon, and it is produced by the drawings provided by the Lingqiu Garrison Regiment of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region."

"It's very simple to make, and almost no military equipment is needed!"

"Raw materials are also very common, gasoline barrels, black powder, are very common in the base area, and they can also be easily captured from the Japanese army."

The head of the headquarters guard asked with a look of suspicion: "Chief, can such a rudimentary weapon kill devils?" ”

The Deputy Chief of the General Staff replied in the affirmative: "Of course!" ”

"The garrison regiment has been equipped with 36 flying thunder cannons, and according to their reports, the explosives fired by the flying thunder cannons are not less powerful than 150 millimeter caliber shells, and a large area will be blown up, and the enemy will either be killed or wounded on the field battlefield within a radius of twenty or thirty meters!"

"If you are only a dozen meters away from the impact point, even if the enemy hides in the bunker, you will be shocked to death by the shock wave generated by the explosion!"

"The garrison has already used them in real combat!"

"Use the flying thunder cannon to attack the Japanese stronghold at close range, and kill three Japanese infantry brigades in a row in just one night!"

"After the war, I cleaned up the battlefield and found that more than 3,000 devils in the three brigades, and more than 2,000 people were killed by flying thunder cannons!"

"More than a thousand of them didn't have any scars on the surface, but they bled to death on the battlefield!"

"There is no doubt that the internal organs of these devils have been shattered, otherwise this situation would not have happened!"
