Wu Zhongguo's responsibilities as chief of staff, in addition to being responsible for managing all the miscellaneous affairs of the entire 99th Army, are also responsible for helping Su Dao formulate large and small battle plans, but not every plan he makes will be adopted by Su Dao.

In fact, to put it bluntly, before every war, he will come up with a specific battle plan, and then for Su Dao to choose, or as a reference, which set of plans to use, or none at all, this is Su Dao's right, he is only responsible for assisting Su Dao's work.

When his plan was rejected by Su Dao before, he proposed that all plans except this plan could make the troops fall into the encirclement of the Kwantung Army, and now it has been proved that Wu Zhongguo's prediction has indeed been surrounded, and the Kwantung Army has indeed surrounded the Ninety-ninth Army. In other words, if they don't break through before tonight, they will most likely face a tough battle.

His own opinion was denied, and in the end, the troops were encircled, a result that Wu Zhongguo could not accept. This army can be said to be Su Dao's biggest reliance on the country, but for Wu Zhongguo, why is it not the case? He, like Su Dao, relied on the rapid expansion of the Ninety-ninth Army, so that he was directly promoted from a captain to a general in just one year.

There are so many Huangpu officers in the country, after several years of hard study, plus decades of battlefield experience, they finally obtained the title of a general, but what about him? Just following Su Dao's steps, he easily obtained the rank of general, and now he is only twenty-seven years old.

"Old Wu, I think you're making a fuss, don't worry too much, with the strength of the Kwantung Army, we're not afraid to come." Su Dao smiled and patted Wu Zhongguo's shoulder and comforted.

Although Wu Zhongguo is a little cautious and even a little timid, it is undeniable that he is an excellent chief of staff, Su Dao prides himself on being a bold and risk-taking person, while Wu Zhongguo is the kind of person who is meticulous in his heart, timid, and likes to think before thinking about things.

In the past, Su Dao would focus on the battle plan sent by Wu Zhongguo, if it was not an important matter, Su Dao would agree to do it according to Wu Zhongguo's plan, but if it was a very important battle, or a war with different meanings, Su Dao would list a plan of his own according to Wu Zhongguo's plan.

Of course, in Su Dao's new plan, you can see the meticulousness of Wu Zhongguo's plan, although there are loopholes, but those loopholes are not opportunities? The most representative case is the previous Battle of Lanfeng, when according to Wu Zhongguo's plan, the troops would cross the river near Kaifeng, so as to find the main force of the Yue army in the northern Henan region to intercept it, and severely damage the main force of the Yue army in the battlefield of northern Henan, so as to reduce the pressure on the Chinese defenders in northern Henan.

However, Su Dao was worried about the bursting of the embankment at Huayuankou, but decided to turn back directly to block the Yue army in Lanfeng, because he created a record of annihilating the 14th Division of the Yue Army in six hours, which shocked the world in one fell swoop. Although the 99th Army annihilated an entire division of the Chinese Army in a short period of time with four times the strength of the surplus army, this also proved the fact that the 99th Army was capable of annihilating the whole formed units of the Japanese army.

"It's not that I'm making a fuss, I said Junzao, you have to give me an explanation for this matter, otherwise I can't convince myself, I can't watch the troops being surrounded by the army, and then surround and fight slowly. Even if the army does not come to attack us in a short time in order to avoid casualties, as long as they surround us and don't let us out, they will still starve us to death in less than half a month. Su Dao's relaxation made Wu Zhongguo feel a nameless pressure, he had to tell the worries in his heart, the food snatched from Baoding Station can only last them for about ten days at most, if the time really let the army not spend a single shot, they will hand over the weapons of hundreds of thousands of people, what face will there be in Huaxia in the future?

"Old Wu, I didn't say you, it seems that you, the chief of staff, also have to study, and when we have a firm foothold in the Northeast, I have to open a training course for generals and officers first, and first throw a few of you and those colonels and officers into it for training." Su Dao smiled bitterly and waved his hand, looking at Wu Zhongguo's posture, he had to find an excuse, and then continued to speak:

"The Kwantung Army can draw out no more than five divisions, let's count it according to the fact that he has six divisions for the time being, one division has 20,000 people, let's add a little more to him, according to 30,000 people, the six divisions together are only 180,000 people, excluding those logistics and other non-combat soldiers, it will be counted according to 150,000 people, can we still not beat 150,000 enemy troops?"

"Although the meaning is like this, but you can't forget, this is the northeast, not the Guannai, 150,000 enemy troops, plus we have absolute air and sea supremacy, whether we can resist the attack of the little devil is a question, it's nothing to be bold, but you're too bold, right?" Su Dao's meaning Wu Zhongguo heard it directly, it is nothing more than that in the past, we could kill more than 3,000 people and 7 or 8,000 little devils, but now more than 100,000 people can't kill more than 100,000 of them?

Thinking that Su Dao had this kind of thought, Wu Zhongguo was suddenly shocked in his heart, and immediately hurriedly dissuaded. Today's 99th Army is no better than the previous Reading Force, and the spread is getting bigger and bigger, and the responsibility on their shoulders is getting bigger and bigger. Hundreds of thousands of warriors were willing to follow them from the Central Plains to the Northeast, and to put it bluntly, it was all thanks to the warriors' worship of Su Dao.

In less than a year, from major to lieutenant general, from battalion commander to commander of the first class army, and commander of the theater, these are all mythical stories in the whole of China, and it is these mythical stories, plus Su Dao has always been able to lead them to victory, never lost a battle, and every time it can hit the army troops, it is precisely for these reasons that Su Dao was arched on the altar, so that more than 100,000 soldiers below have an inexplicable worship of Su Dao.

"I know this is the Northeast, so I plan to let those recruits hide first, and then I don't need them to go to the battlefield, don't worry, Lao Wu, the bunch of rabbit cubs in the Kwantung Army don't dare to attack with all their might, let the recruits hide, first, it can play a role in protecting them, and second, it will make the Kwantung Army feel that the combat effectiveness of our troops is very strong, and we have inexplicably disappeared sixty or seventy thousand people in front of us, if it were you, do you still dare to attack with all your might?" Su Dao said with a wicked smile.

"Okay, you are the military seat, you naturally have the final say here, I hope you don't let the Kwantung Army find out that we will play empty city plans with them again." Wu Zhongguo shrugged helplessly, this is indeed an empty city plan, let more than 60,000 recruits hide, and give the Kwantung Army a kind of illusion that we still have troops, you must be vigilant, don't let us sneak attack.
