Chapter 114: Staff and Mathematics

Tieqiao San raised his doubts: "What Liang Qiang said makes sense, but it is not necessarily completely correct; Because our strength has not yet been exposed, and the Japanese still think that we only have more than 10,000 people, but it seems that there are a lot of people who have come this time, if I am the commander of the Japanese, I will attack in a multi-point way, so that we can also disperse our more than 10,000 troops, and their troops are very sufficient, so it is not easier to break through? ”

After listening to it, everyone felt that Tieqiao San's analysis was also reasonable.

At this time, Cui Fengming, the urging ghost of the staff office, said: "I don't think it's necessary to guess where the Japanese will land from, we have a lot of people, I calculated, put 2,000 preventive troops at the five major landing sites, and put 1,000 troops at the remaining six small landing sites, so that the total is only 16,000, and then set up three reinforcement centers in the north, middle and south of Ryukyu Island, that is, Shuri Castle, with 20,000 troops in the north and center, and the remaining 14,000 troops on the side of Shuri Castle; In addition, we have enough men to build fortifications in all eleven places, so that nothing is lost, because the enemy needs a certain amount of preparation time from the beginning of the landing to the launch of the attack, and this time also gives us time to adjust the disposition of our forces."

Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard it, and this was really a comprehensive plan.

Young Master Liang took the lead in applauding, and everyone then applauded him together, Liang Qiang also really admired, only the chief of staff, Zhang Jin, felt the pressure.

Young Master Liang also admired in his heart: Although this kid has never led soldiers, he can't stand up to other people's good math and can settle accounts.

The plan of the ghost can be regarded as impeccable, and it is time for Young Master Liang to conclude his speech.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the battle plan I conceived at the beginning was too arbitrary, and I also thought of the Japanese too simply; The art of war is cloudy: the impermanence of the soldier is impermanent, and it is about improvisation, if the battle has not yet started, the formation has been arranged, and he is not necessarily an excellent commander; Because commanding operations is actually an art, if the command of the troops under his command is as random as the flow of water, it moves quickly, is pervasive, and indestructible, then it is a genius commander, there is no precedent in any war that can be fully followed, Cui Fengming's plan is well designed and well considered, I think it can be implemented according to this plan, what do you think? ”

Political Commissar Liang Haowen was the first to say: "Very good, I agree!" ”

Tieqiao Sanhuang Qiying and others also said: "Agreed! ”

"I agree!" "I agree".

"Good! That's it! Young Master Liang made a final decision: "Li Zishan, your special combat team and the cavalry regiment are patrolling all over the coastline tonight, and the island of Tokurashima is not far from here, the Japanese are likely to come over at night to reconnoitre, and may even launch a sneak attack at night, and all units must be prepared for the enemy's sneak attack at night; Starting early tomorrow morning, the defense will be deployed according to this plan, and at the same time, all the personnel will be led by the engineer regiment to build fortifications at the landing sites."

"Yes!" "Yes!"

Li Zishan and the cavalry commander Niu Qiang left first, and the rest of the officers surrounded the political commissar Liang Haowen and the staff officers to assign their respective tasks, and these things no longer need to be worried about by the army commander Liang Da Young Master.

The special combat team has always been the sharp knife unit that he focuses on, and the tasks they undertake are also the most difficult and onerous, and Young Master Liang has become accustomed to using the sharp knife in his hand often. Therefore, this time the army was expanded, and the special combat team was also expanded to forty people, with three squads, twelve people in each squad, each team was divided into three groups, a group of four people, Li Zishan was the captain, the flying knife Lin Kun, the iron sand palm Qian Hu and the poison master Huang Bingkun were the team leaders, and it can also be seen that the respective styles of these three squads, anyway, no one in the Liang family army dared to provoke the people of the special combat team, especially the poison division's team, these guys who are used to tricks are better to stay away from them.

Young Master Liang then called Tieqiao San and the director of the intelligence bureau, Tan Xiucai, the director of the Propaganda Division of Jinniu.

"Master, you are the first director of the Intelligence Bureau, and the Intelligence Bureau has developed well under the leadership of you and Taurus; Director Kim, tell me how many people and how many intelligence stations are there in the intelligence bureau now? ”

Tieqiao San nodded, and Taurus took out a black leather book from the black leather bag he had been carrying, ready to make a detailed report; Only Tan Xiu was a little nervous, this young master summoned a spy leader like Jinyiwei and asked him to come over? He doesn't want to participate in this kind of thing, the less he knows about some things, the safer he is, and Tan Xiucai still has this point; But the boss didn't let him go, and he couldn't leave without permission, isn't it embarrassing!

But the other three people here didn't care about Tan Xiucai's thoughts, and Jin Niu began his detailed report: "Report to the army commander, the intelligence bureau now has a total of 814 personnel on the staff, nearly 1,500 non-staff personnel, one intelligence station in Vietnam, three intelligence points, two intelligence stations in Japan, six intelligence points, one intelligence point in every Liangjia commercial outlet, and one intelligence station in every provincial capital south of the Yangtze River, and only three intelligence stations in Jinan, Tianjin and Beijing in the area north of the Yangtze River, the report is complete!" ”

"Good, good job! The next step is to set up intelligence stations in Taiwan and the Ryukyus, and the Ryukyus are now ours, and I will let the telegraph company lay an undersea line to connect Taiwan, the Ryukyus, and Japan, and also facilitate the transmission of information from your intelligence bureau; There is also the telegraph company, which is also our own industry, and the intelligence bureau must establish intelligence points in every network of the telegraph company, and properly monitor the sending and receiving of information from the telegraph company, which is itself a natural source of information."

"Yes! I'll arrange these things right next step," replied Taurus with his head raised and saluted, still seeing himself as a soldier.

Young Master Liang nodded and motioned for him to sit down: "Also, for the safety of the intelligence station and the intelligence point, and for you to be able to carry out your work better, I have decided to increase the establishment of the operation team under the intelligence bureau, and in principle, each intelligence station should be equipped with a platoon of operational personnel."

Tieqiao San next to "hiss" gasped: "How many people do you have to do this?" ”

"Report to the army commander and deputy commander, counting Taiwan and the Ryukyus, there are a total of twenty-two intelligence stations, and twenty-two platoons are needed, and we have now increased one platoon to fifty people, so a total of one thousand and one hundred people are needed." Taurus reports at a glance.

Young Master Liang nodded and said: "These forces must be equipped, it is not easy for us to train an intelligence officer, so we need to equip them with a certain amount of defense force; Master, the captain of this task force, please recommend one."

Tieqiao San was a little surprised, how could the apprentice let him recommend it? Of course, this also shows that the apprentice values him, the first director of the Intelligence Bureau, and gives him face, which makes him very happy, well, he groaned, faintly understanding, maybe Young Master Liang needs someone within the Intelligence Bureau to contain the director, in case the high-ranking position of the intelligence director will be in danger of not falling off in the future, it seems that this apprentice is a personal essence, thinking is really far-reaching, thinking about this, Tieqiao San raised his head and said: "There is a candidate, do you see if it is suitable?" ”

"Master, you say."

"It's Niu Qiang, the current commander of the cavalry regiment, this kid is also my apprentice, he has good skills, neat work, and a little brain, he looks very suitable, but he is now a regiment commander, and it seems that he has been demoted as the captain of this action."

"Master, this action captain is much more important than the cavalry commander, in this way, the action team is also at the regimental level, he came over to be leveled rather than demoted, and the cavalry commander will find another one, this Niu Qiang has a task tonight, and I will come to talk to him tomorrow."

Young Master Liang has made a decision, so what else is there to say, that's all.

Until now, Tan Xiucai didn't find anything to do with him, he just sat aside like a wooden man and continued to be uneasy.

At this time, Young Master Liang seemed to finally remember that there was such a person as him, turned to look at him and said: "Brother Jin, I called you over, I need you to arrange people to join the intelligence bureau, because I think some intelligence stations need to carry out some propaganda work appropriately, such as in North China, in Japan, propaganda work is very important, and if it is done well, it can even guide public opinion and win the hearts of the people.

Oh, I see, look it scares me! Tan Xiucai suddenly put his mind at ease: "Yes!" ”

But on the way back, his steps became heavier and heavier, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was not trivial, this young master probably wanted to prepare public opinion for the rebellion, right?
