Chapter 277: Reception Banquet
In the twilight, on the long streets, martial law soldiers held torches, and the faces of the people were yellow, and the evening breeze made the torches erratic, flickering and dimming. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info everyone walked through a street corner, under the guidance of Huang Jie, into the 'Hongtai Restaurant', which has long been contracted by Huang Jie in advance, and closely monitor the every move of the restaurant guys, in front of and behind the restaurant, there are also soldiers, as well as countless bright and dark sentinels, mobile whistles, it can be said that it is an iron wall, foolproof. Dai Li did not go in with Jiang Jieshi, but carefully questioned the relevant person in charge of security on the first floor to ensure that there were no loopholes in the security work.
Everyone came to a clean and tidy box and sat down separately, including Jiang Jieshi, Bai Chongxi, Huang Jie, and Chen Qingfeng, Liu Changfeng, Lu Shaohui, Situ Ming and Zhuo Wei, chief of staff of the Eighth Army. By and large, Chiang Kai-shek was not a man who liked to eat and drink. He has exquisite dietary requirements, but he is never extravagant, it can even be said to be simple, he also has the habit of drinking chicken soup before eating, Huang Jie has followed Jiang Jieshi for a long time, and naturally knows everything about it, so the first dish on the restaurant is the old hen soup boiled over a simmer, and the other dishes are all according to the leader's taste, and because Jiang Jie does not drink, there is no wine at the banquet, which shows how well-intentioned Huang Jie is.
Jiang Jieshi was full of praise while drinking the soup, Huang Jie smiled happily, and suddenly there was a sound of footsteps, only to see an entourage adjutant hurriedly walking over with a telegram and handing it to Bai Chongxi, Bai Chongxi took it and looked at it, and said excitedly; "Commission, everyone, good news, another reinforcement of the Japanese army, the 10th Division of Ryosuke Isoya, has also withdrawn from Haozhou, Kenji Dohihara has become a turtle in the urn, and it is difficult to fly with wings, Xue Boling swears that Kenji Tohihara can be annihilated by noon tomorrow at the latest. ‘’
"Okay, we have been good news recently, the Japanese invaders have been hit hard one after another, God bless me China, I should really celebrate well, I don't drink, you can drink." Jiang Jieshi said happily.
"Headmaster, we have won the battle, and we are happy without drinking, and we must keep a clear head, and it will not be too late to drink until we drive the Japanese devils out of China." Huang Jie said impassionedly.
Liu Changfeng, Situ Ming and Zhuo Wei are the people who know Huang Jie's details, and they almost laughed when they heard this. Chiang Kai-chi-do; ''General Liu, you can drink it.'' ‘’
Liu Changfeng shook his head and said; ''What Commander Huang said is very true, and we should take Commander Huang as an example and keep a clear head at all times. ‘’
Kenji Dohihara was trapped, and the commander of the Japanese Second Army, Lieutenant General Nishio Toshizo, did not save him when he saw death, which was not in line with the style of the Japanese army. Huang Jie said.
''Well, that makes sense, I don't know what the hell they're messing with, what do you think?'' Bai Chongxi groaned.
In fact, Kenji Dohihara has been besieged by General Xue Yue for several days, and I am afraid that he has long been close to the situation of running out of ammunition and food, and the commander of the Japanese army knows how long he can hold out, plus we gave the Japanese army a head start, so that the Japanese army realizes the strength and determination of our army, they know that it will not be possible to break through the defense line of our army in the short term, Kenji Dohihara is destined to perish, if they do not retreat, I am afraid it will be the second Kenji Dohihara. ''Situ Ming said.
''Well, Master Situ, now that the general trend of resistance against Japan has reversed, how do you think we should adjust our strategic deployment?'' Jiang Jieshi nodded, and it was also a habit of him to discuss the war situation during the meal.
"Strategic deployment is the area of responsibility of the Ministry of Defense and the Department of the Chief Strategy Officer, and I am afraid that it is inappropriate for me to make irresponsible remarks here, right?'' Situ Ming said with a smile, he has a big heart, even in the face of the supreme leader, he has no stage fright, and he laughs and laughs freely.
''We're just going to have a casual conversation, but you say it's okay.'' Chiang Kai-shek's eyes lit up, and he immediately became interested in Situ Ming, looking at the whole country, it was rare for a senior general to dare to be so relaxed in front of him.
"Okay, since Chairman Chiang has spoken, then I will be ugly." Situ Ming smiled and said; The reason why the Japanese army attacked cities and conquered cities and ran rampant was nothing more than because of their advanced weapons and equipment, powerful firepower, and absolute air superiority, as well as their excellent soldier quality, on the whole, at this stage the enemy is still strong and weak, so we should still focus on strategic defense, but the form of defensive warfare can be more intelligent, in addition to positional warfare, I think we should launch more movement warfare, guerrilla warfare, surprise warfare and night warfare, in addition, we can also fully carry out asymmetric warfare. ‘’
''What is asymmetric warfare?'' Jiang Jieshi's eyes lit up, to be honest, everyone knew that the current strategic focus was on defense, and Situ Ming's point of view was not new, only emphasizing the flexibility of tactics, but Situ Ming's last sentence aroused Jiang Jieshi's interest.
"Asymmetric warfare is a kind of operational thinking and theory, which refers to operations conducted by asymmetric means, unequal forces, and unconventional methods, and to find new ways to achieve our set goals." Situ Ming turned his head and said to Zhuo Wei; ''Sister Chili, let's talk about it.'' ‘’
Zhuo Wei nodded and said calmly; "Chairman Chiang, ladies and gentlemen, our Thunder Anti-Japanese Vanguard has set up a special unit, the main task of which is to carry out asymmetric warfare, and generally do not participate in the operations of ordinary troops in peacetime, and our existence is to carry out reconnaissance, surprise attacks, sabotage attacks on the enemy, as well as decapitation operations against the enemy's head organs and other important targets at critical moments, so that the enemy's command system can be destroyed suddenly, or other military facilities of the enemy can be destroyed. ‘’
Liu Changfeng added; Once an asymmetric war is successful, it will play no less role than a thousand troops, and it will be enough to affect the success or failure of a campaign. ‘’
"Well, I heard that the military power Germany has special forces, and the Berlin Military Academy has opened a special operations discipline, I didn't expect you to already have your own special forces, Master Situ Ming and Miss Zhuo are extraordinary, General Liu, there are no weak soldiers under a strong general." Bai Chongxi exclaimed.
''Are you the commander of the special forces?'' Jiang Jieshi looked at Zhuo Wei with a look of disbelief and said.
''Yes, Chairman. Zhuo Wei replied.
Chiang Kai-shek let out an 'oh' sound, his face was surprised, and he quickly made up his mind and said: "You are loyal and patriotic, brilliant in battle, exemplary to the vast number of officers and soldiers, and outstanding sons and daughters of China, if you don't mind, I am willing to introduce you to join the Kuomintang." He was strongly eager to include Liu Changfeng in his lineage, and introducing them to the party was an essential step in this plan.
Liu Changfeng, Zhuo Wei and Situ Ming were shocked, looked at each other, and secretly complained in their hearts, what they were most afraid of finally came, how could they join a political party that was destined to be eliminated by history? However, he joined the anti-Japanese war sequence of the Nationalist Government and accepted a lot of help from Chairman Chiang, as the saying goes, people are short-handed, and people are soft-mouthed, no matter what aspect they are, they have no reason to refuse, what can I do?
The expressions on the faces of Liu Changfeng and the others froze and stiffened, no one said a conversation, the audience was quiet, the needles could be heard, and there was an embarrassing atmosphere in the box, Bai Chongxi I and the others had a clear heart, Liu Changfeng and the others had no intention of joining the Kuomintang, at least for now. Jiang Jieshi felt slightly disappointed in his heart, but his face was still silent, and he coughed lightly, relieving the tense atmosphere in the box, and forced a smile; ''It's okay, you guys think about it slowly.'' ‘’
Liu Changfeng swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, smiled reluctantly, and said; "We don't have an opinion about the Kuomintang either, it's just that we're not interested in politics, we're just pure soldiers, and we only want to fight the Japanese devils wholeheartedly." ‘’
''General Liu, what if the Japanese devils are beaten away?'' What will you say then? Huang Jie said, he was very puzzled by Liu Changfeng and the others, seeing that Chairman Jiang appreciated them so much, others couldn't look forward to it, but they didn't know how to lift up, and they didn't even give Chairman Jiang face.
"Okay, let's not talk about it, General Liu, let's talk about this later, you don't have a psychological burden, eat, eat." Jiang Jieshi smiled.
The atmosphere in the box quietly changed, and it was so dull that it seemed to make people breathless. (To be continued.) )
