Chapter 803: Stalemate and attrition

The middle-aged officer said in a deep voice: "There must be a hidden secret in this!" ”

Hearing this, the brigade commander was silent for a moment, and then said again: "Then can you see what is hidden?" In my opinion, isn't this a good situation? What could have caused Xue Yue to make such an order? Chief of Staff, have you ever thought of it? ”

"There must be a secret, but we don't know it yet!" The middle-aged officer shook his head and said.

He is just the chief of staff of a brigade, and in such a large-scale battle, limited by his identity, he can get too little information, and he can't start from the overall situation, what he sees is naturally only one-sided, and his vision will naturally be limited!

However, although he couldn't see anything for the time being, the middle-aged officer's sense was very keen, and he smelled something unusual after seeing that this order had been given from above, and that such a confused order had been given so smoothly.

So he can conclude that there must be something secret in it that they don't know!

"But what's going on?" The middle-aged officer couldn't help frowning, and a look of deep groaning appeared on his face.

He couldn't figure it out, racking his brains and not thinking about what the problem was.

"Luza, you now send a telegram to Shizuo and ask what the situation is!" He couldn't think clearly, and suddenly said this.

"Ask about the master?" Hearing this, the brigade commander was stunned, but the book pulled the corners of his mouth, and said with some embarrassment: "The division just scolded me in the morning, presumably when he is annoying me now, go and ask at this time, I am afraid that I will be sent back!" ”

"......" Hearing this, the chief of staff was really helpless.

He shook his head with a wry smile, and then said, "Forget it, I'd better ask the chief of staff!" ”

As he spoke, he was about to turn around and leave to personally send a telegram to the chief of staff of the division to ask about the specific situation, but after taking two steps, he suddenly turned around and admonished: "Brigade seat, you don't want to make any trouble!" ”

"Now the situation on the battlefield is unpredictable and very strange, we must be vigilant, if the Japanese army finds a weak point from us to break through because of negligence, then we are the sinners of this war! As a brigade commander, you must pay attention to it! ”

"Got it, got it!" The brigade commander showed an impatient look on his face, waved his hand and said.

Although his face was impatient, if he looked closely, the brigade commander's eyes were already solemn.

He was a reckless man, but he was not a fool.

This can be seen from the fact that he is a good hand at fighting!

Although he fights fiercely, he is not a man who commands rampage, on the contrary, his pangzhuang is reflected in his eclectic tactics, and often uses some unexpected tricks, which seem to others to be fantastic, but in his hands, they can often work wonders.

It is precisely because of this that he can be able to stabilize the position of a brigade commander under such a situation that annoys the officer, not without reason!

Second, he is also self-aware, he knows that he is not as good as others in strategy, so he trusts himself as the chief of staff.

Although the chief of staff did not say a reason before, after seeing such a solemn face of the chief of staff, he knew that it was definitely not simple!

Even if it's just an idea of the staff officer, it's worth his attention!

Because, since this chief of staff of his came to his troops, he has gone from disdain at the beginning to complete conviction, and now he is completely convinced, all of which are impressed by the plan of this chief of staff to plan a decisive victory in one battle after another!

In his opinion, his chief of staff is definitely not an ordinary person!

In any case, after the results did not come out, he must have to believe the words of the chief of staff!

Besides, there's nothing wrong with being careful, even if there are no accidents in the end, but being careful, it's not a bad thing!

Looking at the brigade commander's expression, the chief of staff smiled slightly, and then turned to leave.

He didn't tell him again, because he knew that the brigade commander would definitely pay attention to it!

This is the tacit understanding they have cultivated in many previous battles!

Both of them have become real partners, and they ...... They are a pair of comrades who are very tacit and convincing to each other!

……

Just as the defenders were making this plan, at the same time, the Japanese side was also working out some new plans under the guidance of Okamura Ninji.

Because the 106th Division was completely annihilated, their strategy was also greatly affected.

But fortunately, because Okamura Ninji's punishment of Junrokuro Matsuura had passed, when the news came, all the generals were stunned!

Deprived of his position, and captured alive, this means that Junrokuro Matsuura has been nailed to the pillar of shame of the empire by Okamura Ninji since then, and will never be able to turn over!

He will be reviled by all the soldiers and civilians of the empire forever!

Such a punishment really frightened many people!

It was precisely because of such punishment that these frightened generals and soldiers had to do their best in the following battles, so as not to become the second Matsuura Junrokuro.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that there are also a considerable number of fanatical little devil soldiers who believe in the spirit of bushido, and when they got the news, they were furious, and regarded Matsuura Junrokuro as a disgrace to their bushido, and clamored to defeat the Shina army, snatch Matsuura back, and have them execute it himself.

Under such encouragement, the Japanese army, which had lost the 106th Division and was still a little panicked, was completely stabilized, and there was not much real loss of combat effectiveness.

Such a result is naturally what Okamura Ninji is willing to see.

More importantly, Okamura Ninji also formulated a new plan for the next operation, and in the next operation, the Japanese army shifted the focus of the Jingong direction to the southern Hunan.

And they have also changed from their previous strategic thinking of wanting to quickly resolve the battle, and want to fight a war of attrition with the defenders.

Therefore, under such circumstances, the two sides focused on the southern Hunan region, and also took into account the northern Hunan region to launch a series of tug-of-war and stalemate battles, and the two sides went back and forth, constantly attacking, and fighting for positions.

The whole of southern Hunan, northern Hunan and Hunan were completely divided into a pot of porridge, and the casualties increased every day, and as time went by, the fierceness of the fighting between the two sides also intensified with the intensification of casualties.

It can be said that both sides have already played a real fire in the previous stalemate and tug-of-war!

But what is not known is that although the defenders are in a stalemate with the Japanese army on the surface, in fact, they are secretly constantly deploying troops and planning something.
