At the headquarters of the Japanese division in Linfen City, for ten consecutive days, Lieutenant General Fujino stood in front of the sand table in the war room except for sleeping and eating.

That's not all, since Wang Ping became the head of the new regiment, all the information and battle reports related to the new regiment were all placed on the table next to him for him to retrieve and analyze at any time. No one knew what the division commander was studying, including the chief of staff who knew him best.

Several times the chief of staff wanted to ask the questions in everyone's mind.

However, when he thought of the fact that in the first two days, an operational staff officer and a communications officer were demoted to a reconnaissance unit because they disturbed him, and that they were finally killed by the Eighth Route Army when they went deep into the base area of the new regiment to reconnoiter the enemy's situation, the chief of staff finally chose to keep his mouth shut and not provoke the division commander who was holding back his anger.

At eight o'clock in the morning, a list sent by the chief of logistics finally gave him a reason to go to Lieutenant General Fujino.

"Division commander, there is an important report on the lowly position!"

"There are a total of twelve regiments of the Imperial Allied Army that we have formed and trained single-handedly, except for the two regiments formed in the end, the remaining ten regiments have all formed combat effectiveness. In addition, we have found quite a few excellent commanders in these Imperial Allies! ”

"Because the Imperial Allied Army trained this time is under the direct control of the Imperial Army, all the commanders we fancy are promoted to the position of battalion commander or company commander to assist the Imperial Army in commanding the troops!"

"Yes, with these Imperial Cooperative Army, it is equivalent to more than 10,000 more mobile troops in our hands." Lieutenant General Fujino's gaze finally left the sand table, and then said with a satisfied face.

"Even if the combat effectiveness of these Imperial Cooperative Army is not as good as that of the Imperial Army, there is no problem in letting them be in charge of defense!"

Then he stared at the chief of staff and asked: "Under the condition of ensuring the safety of the front line, even if it is attacked by the Eighth Route Army, you can hold on to it for twelve hours, how many imperial troops can you replace from the front line!" ”

The chief of staff took out a plan and sent it to Fujino, and then reported: "This is a plan for changing guards formulated by the inferior position, please review it by the division commander!" ”

"You say I listen, I don't have that much time to see these things!" Fujino threw the plan on the table next to him, and then ordered!

"Hey!" The chief of staff glanced heartily at the telegram on the table.

In order to satisfy the division commander, he spent three whole days working on this plan. However, the division commander didn't even look at it and threw it aside.

In addition to the heartache, the fire in the stomach also rushed up.

However, the status and identity of the division commander are there, and no matter how big his anger is, he can only hold back.

"Compared with the Imperial Army, the only thing that the Imperial Allied Army lacks is heavy firepower. The idea of the humble position is to increase the number of heavy machine gun companies and artillery batteries to all the Imperial Allied Army! ”

"However, in order to keep these heavy weapons in the hands of the imperial army without accidents, these troops must be in the hands of the imperial army themselves!"

"Heavy machine gun company, artillery company, backbone officers are all from the existing heavy machine gun squadron of the Imperial Army, artillery squadron! Ordinary soldiers are directly drawn from the Imperial Army, and then there are backbones and officers of the Imperial Army who are directly trained! ”

Fujino rarely praised the chief of staff beside him: "Yes, this method is very good!" ”

"It only took a small amount of the Imperial Army to form a large number of artillery units and heavy machine-gun units. What's more, because the Imperial Army served as officers and backbones, the combat effectiveness was guaranteed, and at the same time, these heavy weapons were completely in the hands of the Imperial Army! ”

Then he stared at the chief of staff and continued to ask: "Is the weapon enough, the twelve regiments of the Imperial Allied Army, each regiment to form a heavy machine gun company, a mortar company, this requires nearly a hundred heavy machine guns and nearly a hundred mortars......

"Enough!" The chief of staff affirmed.

Especially after being affirmed by the division commander, the more he talked, the more excited he became, and he immediately explained!

"There are not many imperial army equipment in the inventory of Linfen City, and at most one infantry wing can be armed. It was the first time that the Front Army brought it with us when it replenished our garrison of 5,000 troops. But the division commander, don't forget, in the southwest of Shanxi, we have another division and regiment that has been fighting against the Jin Sui Army in the second war zone! ”

"Although in our battles with the Eighth Route Army, the Imperial Army rarely took advantage. However, in the battle with the Jin Sui army, the imperial army basically won more and lost less, and captured a large number of weapons and ammunition equipped by the Jin Sui army! ”

"Almost all of the equipment we used to form the Imperial Allied Army this time came from these captures."

"If I remember correctly, there are at least a hundred heavy machine guns in stock in the ammunition depot, more than a hundred mortars, and even a dozen mountain guns!"

"Then use all these heavy weapons!" Lieutenant General Fujino decided with a smile on his face.

Then he continued to order: "More than a dozen mountain artillery pieces are also used, with the imperial army as the backbone, form a mixed artillery brigade, this brigade directly belongs to the imperial army, and follow the imperial army to fight everywhere!" ”

"After I go down, I will arrange it!" The chief of staff immediately replied.

Fujino nodded and continued to ask, "After forming a heavy machine gun company and a mortar company for the Imperial Army, what are you going to do next?" ”

"The large stronghold arranges a regiment of the Imperial Allied Army and a squadron of the Imperial Army to defend!" The chief of staff replied.

"The medium-sized stronghold arranges a battalion of the Imperial Army, and a squad of the Imperial Army will defend it!"

"Small strongholds and outposts are arranged for a company of the Imperial Allied Army and a combat detachment of the Imperial Army to defend!"

"Among all the garrisons, the main task of the Imperial Army is to supervise and train the Imperial Army, so that they have stronger combat effectiveness and serve the Imperial Army!"

"In addition to the garrisons of the strongholds in the front-line positions, I will also arrange at least one regiment of the Imperial Allied Army and a reinforced squadron of the Imperial Army as reserve troops on the transportation arteries behind the positions, so as to reinforce the first-line positions at any time and withstand the attack of the Eighth Route Army!"

"According to the statistics of the humble position, according to the proportion just now, the entire Linfen needs ten regiments of the Imperial Association Army and four brigades of the Imperial Army to ensure that there is no worries. Attacked by the Eighth Route Army, he held on for reinforcements for at least twelve hours! ”

Lieutenant General Fujino's eyes lit up and asked, "Does this mean that you can draw five infantry brigades from the front line to come out!" ”

"Hey!" The chief of staff affirmed.

But after hesitating for a few seconds, he explained: "But the imperial army of these five infantry brigades is not satisfied!" ”

"That's not a problem!" Lieutenant General Fujino also became happier the more he talked.

With a wave of his hand, he replied: "The dissatisfied formation directly draws troops from the baggage troops, engineer troops, gendarmerie brigades, and guard brigades to supplement them, so that they can be fully staffed!" ”

"Chief of Staff, I completely agree with your plan, you immediately implement the plan you just proposed, and draw out the five brigades of imperial troops for me, I will be of great use!"

"The lowly post will start to transfer troops tomorrow, and the change of troops will be completed within three days!" The chief of staff affirmed!
