"Major General Nakajima, the soldiers in front are fighting bloodily, but you are at ease, aren't you ashamed?" Lucao didn't care that he was being controlled by Nakajima, and the superiority of the cavalry general made him look down on Nakajima Kangjian, whose qualifications were far lower than his own, and he shouted angrily when he came up. //.qb5、COｍ\

"This is a book of war written by Sun Wu, a master of the art of war two thousand years ago, called Sun Tzu's Art of War." Nakajima didn't seem to hear the shouts of the deer grass, but patiently introduced the book in his hand to him.

"Major General Nakajima!" Lucao is going crazy, the battle situation is so tense, and he still has the leisure to discuss things from two thousand years ago.

"This is a good book, it concentrates all the military wisdom of the ** people, and the combat of the ** people has not been out of the scope of this book for 2,000 years." Nakajima took his feet out of the basin, and the orderlies immediately came over to dry him, put on cotton socks, and put the geta on him.

Nakajima Shi Shiran stood up and didn't seem to see Lucao's increasingly angry face at all, walked two steps to show a satisfied expression, and then said, "Gu Shujun is also outside, come in together." ”

Gushu Matsuren Osa, the commander of the two brigades transferred from the 3rd Mixed Brigade, came two days earlier than Lucao, and as soon as he arrived, he was sent to rest, and he was not allowed to do anything, and his heart was also on fire.

"Yes." Gushu said yes outside the door and came in, he stood there without saying a word, just looking at Nakajima angrily.

"Lucao-kun, Gu Shujun, don't underestimate this book, although the weapons have changed, the strategic thinking has not changed, and the strategic thinking of ** people is in this book," Nakajima gently put Sun Tzu's Art of War on the table after speaking, then walked to the bedside and picked up another thin booklet: "This booklet is a war theory written by today's ** general Jiang Fangzhen, it is said that ** general Zhuang Jihua also participated, I don't know if the two have read it?" ”

Lucao and Gushu didn't answer, and both of them had puzzled expressions on their faces, but their attitudes were not as fierce as just now. Nakajima continued: "All the strategies of the ** people for this war are based on this book, and only by understanding their strategy can they come up with targeted tactics, otherwise even if they win tactically, they will lose strategically." If you think about it, Songhu, Nanjing, Pingjin, and Shanxi, we have all won victories, but why do we feel passive everywhere, and we are getting farther and farther away from our goal, which is a typical tactical victory and strategic defeat. ”

"Your Excellency," Gu Shu couldn't help but take a step forward and raised his head and asked, "What's the benefit of saying these now, as long as we win this battle, the ** people will have to sue for peace with the Empire, and the strategic goal of the Empire will be achieved." ”

"Just win this battle? Many people see it this way," Nakajima turned his head to look at the ancient tree and raised the book in his hand: "But what if they don't sue for peace?" According to this book, they will not sue for peace, and they will fight regardless of victory or defeat. ”

"Then we will continue to fight until they sue for peace." Lucao interjected coldly.

"Sun Tzu said in the Art of War, the first army to attack the plan, the second to attack the enemy, the second to attack the army, and then the next to attack the city." Nakajima said, "What do you mean? The best way to use troops is to thwart the enemy's strategy, followed by diplomacy to defeat the enemy, then to defeat the enemy's army, and worst to attack the enemy's cities. This is what people are using now, they want to drag this war down, until Anglo-American intervention, until we are exhausted. ”

"Your Excellency," Lu Cao's expression was still cold, but his gaze was not so sharp: "You have said so much, I don't understand, what are we going to do?" Please elaborate on it. ”

"Lucao-kun, Gushu-kun, I'm afraid you're all in a hurry," Nakajima smiled slightly, and then shouted out the door, "Hayashita-kun, bring the map in." ”

The chief of staff, Hayashita, came in with the map, and Nakajima motioned to spread the map on the table, and then called the deer grass and the ancient tree to the table, and the four of them gathered around the table.

"I said so much just now, in fact, there is only one meaning, the battle of Xuzhou cannot be a stalemate, let alone failure, and even a small victory cannot be accepted, it must be a big victory and completely annihilate the main force of the Xuzhou ** army, so as to force the Chiang Kai-shek government to accept the peace conditions of the empire and end the ** incident."

Nakajima said here and sighed softly: "** The incident has seriously dragged down the pace of the empire, our real enemy is Soviet Russia in the north, so far, Soviet Russia has not invested a single soldier, but we have invested nearly two million people, including Manchuria, eighty percent of the country's financial revenue has been invested in this war, the empire is bleeding, and this wound must be sewn up." ”

"Judging from the news we have received so far, the strategy of the military department has failed, the best result of the battle of Xuzhou is to conquer Xuzhou, but let the main force of the ** army escape, this result is no better than failure, the ** army can withdraw to Wuhan, relying on the vast western region, continue to fight with our army, continue to drag us, continue to consume the strength of the empire."

"I want to break the illusion of the ** people, so I decided to abandon the tasks set by the front army and change from simple defense to active offensive."

As soon as Nakajima's words came out, the deer grass and ancient trees were greatly excited, but the forest was a little worried, the North China Front Command gave them the task of defending the First Army and the 32nd Army in the First Theater, covering the flanks of the main force, and now they were going to attack, which was tantamount to letting go of the back of the main force on the front; What is even more worrying is that their troops are only more than 8,000 people, plus the First Cavalry Brigade, there are only more than 12,000 people, and the squadron they are facing has five corps, as many as 80,000 people, and the disparity in numbers is huge.

"Sun Tzu said in the Art of War, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will not be defeated in a hundred battles; After I went to the front line, I collected the situation of the troops in the first theater from various channels, and the enemy in front of us was the first army in the first theater, the 32nd army, the 97th army, the 53rd army, the 91st army and other troops, among these troops, the first group army is the prestigious original **29th army, the essence of this army has been transferred to the fifth theater and placed under the command of the general; The rest were the Seventy-Seventh, Sixty-Seventh, and Ninety-second Armies. Another unit with combat effectiveness was the 32nd Army, and most of the other units were reorganized from the security regiment after the war, so their combat effectiveness was not to be feared and could not stop the attack of a brigade of our army. Nakajima's tone was calm, in fact, he spent a lot of effort to collect these materials, starting from the North China Command.

"For this reason, I think we can completely destroy the ** army in front of us, conquer Xinxiang, and then transfer troops to Yuanyang, cross the Yellow River in Yuanyang, feint to attack Kaifeng, attract the ** army to cross south from the north bank of the Yellow River, and then go straight to Lankao, cross the Shandong border from Lankao, capture Dingtao, cooperate with General Honma to block the back road of the ** army, and encircle and annihilate the main force of the ** army in the fifth theater."

Nakajima said as he drew a trajectory on the map, which drew an arc and went directly to the pottery. This line of attack is both exciting and terrifying.

Not only the more than 80,000 squadrons in front of the front, once they go deep into the hinterland of the ** army, the ** army will be transferred back to the elite troops from the front line, and the troops that go deep south of the Yellow River will face the danger of being completely annihilated, and the 49th Group Army, the first strongest army that appeared in the direction of Heze, will turn its guns on them, and no one will dare to boast that its combat effectiveness will exceed that of the Fifth Division, which is known as the Steel Army.

Looking at the somewhat solemn expressions of the three of them, Nakajima said lightly: "This is a very dangerous combat line, but I believe that only this route is in line with the strategy of the imperial army." ”

"But if we go south, what about Anyang, Xinxiang?" Lucao raised his head and asked: "Isn't the back of the main force of the front army exposed to the attack of the ** army, which will put the main force of the front army in a very dangerous place." ”

"No, these ** army is a ** miscellaneous army, they have lost their courage early, and they don't dare to attack the imperial army at all," Nakajima showed a contemptuous expression: "Lucao-kun, Gushu-kun, when you didn't arrive, our mixed brigade only had more than 6,000 people, and they had more than 80,000 people, but they didn't launch an attack, so as long as there were two brigades, they didn't dare to attack." ”

"Gu Shujun, after capturing Xinxiang, your troops will stay behind, Lucao-jun, you and I will cross the river together. The key to this battle is to act swiftly and without hesitation, and after crossing the river, to stay in any place for no more than a day, and to abandon any area that cannot be captured in a day, and to take a detour. Nakajima's tone was still calm, but Murashita heard a hint of excitement, he understood the reason why Nakajima left the ancient tree, and Nakajima was worried that the ancient tree troops would not be able to keep up with the march. After Nakajima became the commander of the 5th Mixed Brigade, the training intensity of the commander of the 5th Brigade was significantly higher than that of other units, and the soldiers were now able to fight and run, and there was no problem in marching 100 miles in a day and a night.

"Gentlemen, do you have the courage to travel to Henan with me?" Nakajima tucked his hands into the wide sleeves of his robe and looked relaxed, as if he was inviting a friend on a winter outing.

The room fell silent, Muramura didn't say anything, he had already been persuaded by Nakajima, Nakajima is now waiting for Shikaca's statement, this is an attack that will kill him, if Lucao doesn't agree, Nakajima really doesn't dare to make up his mind, his troops are insufficient.

"I won't hide it from Lucao-kun," Nakajima said: "This is an attack to the death, and we are likely to be wiped out, but our actions will completely disrupt the deployment of the ** army, respond to the actions of the main force of the front army, and create conditions for the encirclement and annihilation of the main force of the ** army, so even if we die in battle, we will leave a name in history and forever in the history of the empire." ”

Nakajima's agitation made Lucao and Gushu suddenly excited, and the two said in unison: "I am willing to obey orders!" Serve the Empire! ”

"In this case, let's go and prepare, and we will attack at dawn."

"Hello!"

Lucao and Gushu turned around and went out at the same time, and when they reached the door, Lucao said to Gushu with some excitement: "Gushujun, see you at Yasukuni Shrine." ”

"I really envy you," Gu Shu sighed: "I can kill the Yellow River and completely disrupt the deployment of the ** army!" ”

"Gu Shujun, I'll hand over the back to you." The excitement of the deer grass has not passed.

"Don't worry, it's impossible for the ** army to break through our defense line, please rest assured to attack, even if we all die in battle, we won't allow it, the ** army threatens the back of the front army."

The two encouraged each other to say goodbye, and as soon as Nakajima waited for them to leave, he said to Murakita: "According to the scheduled deployment, prepare to attack, it must start at six o'clock in the morning, and at seven o'clock it must break through the defense line of the ** army, and this morning we must attack the city of Xinxiang, if it can't be done, let Captain Komatsu cut his stomach in front of the position." ”

Nakajima's tone was chilling.

At dawn, the artillery on the Xinxiang front line roared, Nakajima lined up with three brigades marching in unison, two brigades followed up, the Gushu detachment launched an attack on the 32nd Army from the left flank, and the Lucao Brigade attacked from the right flank to attack the Shiyou 3rd Division of the 69th Army. Nakajima didn't leave any reserves at all, and he used all his strength as soon as he came up.
