Chapter 270 3: Pre-War Meeting (Asking for Subscriptions, Asking for Monthly Tickets, Asking for Various !! ）

Chen Feng was not satisfied with this battle, how could the North China Front Army be satisfied, although they did eliminate a lot of Chinese troops in this battle, and at the same time proved that there was indeed a special force with superior individual combat power in the Eighth War Zone, and it was also learned that this China Army was equipped with an advanced automatic weapon, whose performance was more advanced than any infantry machine gun in the current empire, and also collected part of the telegram code of the Eighth War Zone, although it was not yet possible to decipher the encrypted telegram of the Eighth War Zone, But it was already possible to tell that the telegram came from the Eighth War Zone.

Despite this, Chiyoko Koga was still extremely angry, and she never expected that just when she thought she was in her hands on the victory, she was counterattacked by the Jedi of Shina. Not only were the prisoners of war taken away, but even the commander of the garrison of the city, Kobayashi Nakasa, became a ghost under the sword.

Although the death of a small army Nakasa was not a big deal, and Chiyoko Koga did not take it seriously, as the supreme commander of this battle, Chiyoko Koga was deeply ashamed and vowed to capture those hateful Shina people and send them all to Manchuria for hard labor.

However, General Binshan Yuan was very happy, although it was said that the battle was not perfect, it could be said that both sides were defeated, and no one took advantage of anyone. However, this made Admiral Binshan Mototo see the value of Chiyoko Koga and her intelligence team, and the combat method of coming and going without a trace and leaving the enemy's intelligence orders invisible, made Admiral Binshan Moto's heart tremble.

As an excellent commander with rich combat experience, General Binshan Mototo quickly realized the great value of this. If used correctly, Chiyoko Koga and her intelligence team can definitely serve as a surprise force for the Northern China Front.

At the same time, General Binshan Moto was also shocked into a cold sweat, fortunately, after the outbreak of this battle, Chiyoko Koga followed Yamada Jiro to command the battle in the prisoner of war camp in the mountain, if he stayed in the city to garrison the commander, it was likely to be the same as Kobayashi Nakasa, and become the merit of the Shina people, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

Thinking of this, Binshan Yuan dared to slack off, and immediately ordered Chiyoko Koga to immediately return to Beiping with her intelligence team. At the same time, Chiyoko Koga was ordered to take charge of the formation of an electronic intelligence squadron, in the opinion of General Binshan Moto. Since the role of this intelligence team is so obvious. Then it should be scaled up and applied to a larger battlefield.

In addition, the expansion of Jiro Yamada's contingent was also carried out. Because of Yamada Jiro's meritorious service in this operation, especially the merit of killing more than 30 members of the Shina special combat unit. It was appreciated by General Binshan Yuan. In addition to elevating Jiro Yamada's military rank to Osa. He also expanded his contingent into brigades, and allowed Jiro Yamada to draw in the people he needed throughout the front army, without anyone hindering him.

Finally became the army commander again. Instead of feeling happy, Jiro Yamada felt that the rank of three stars on his shoulder was imprinted with a deep shame. You must know that Lu Dao was already an army lieutenant when he first arrived in the North Branch, but he didn't expect that a year and a half later, he was still standing still, and even a few months ago, he was demoted to the army lieutenant, shame!

But thinking that a full thousand imperial warriors will soon become his task force, Yamada Jiro still can't help but feel excited, as long as he does a good job here, the pressure on General Yamamoto in the country will be greatly reduced, and the theory of special operations will really be accepted by those old stubborns, which is extremely important to the entire Imperial Japanese Army and the Great Japanese Empire.

Gui Sui. Eighth Theater Command.

On the first day of the last month of 1938, all full-time officers at and above the division level of the Eighth Theater received a telegram from the Theater Commander's Headquarters, ordering them to attend a military meeting at the Theater Headquarters at 8 p.m. on 1 December.

Except for Shi Jianfei, who was far away on the front line of Rehe, who could not come back, the other officers all hurried to Guisui after receiving the telegram, and everyone was very excited, and with their intuition, they all smelled the smell of gunsmoke.

There weren't many people in the conference room, but all of them were elites from the Eighth War Zone. After seeing the familiar comrades-in-arms, everyone was extremely happy, and for a while, the entire conference room was full of laughter and scolding.

"Da Xiucai, what is the matter with the commander calling us this time, is there going to be a war?" Li Yifeng, who had always been open-mouthed, asked Yang Yi, chief of staff of the theater.

"You ask me who I will ask, this meeting was personally arranged by the division seat, and I, the chief of staff, know nothing!" Yang Yi said with a smile.

"Hahaha, people say that staff officers don't fart and don't make a sound, but I didn't expect you, the chief of staff, to be a bad thing, or you wouldn't be able to mix it up with my Lao Li!" Li Yifeng said with a smile.

"Go, go, you big bandit just don't clean up, believe it or not, I let Lao Sui cut off your rations for this month, and let your 222nd Division change clothes for a year late." Yang Yi scolded with a smile.

"Don't don't, don't be, my Uncle Yang, my old Li believes that you can't make it, it's me Lao Li who follows your old bastard!" Li Yifeng said with a bitter face.

"Hahaha, bandit, you kid is bold enough, you actually dug the corner of the wall and dug under Lao Tzu's door, you have a lot of skills!" Chen Feng's hearty voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"Commander!" Everyone hurriedly got up and said.

"Jiza!"

"Li Yifeng, you kid actually wants to dig Chief of Staff Yang into your 222nd Division, you kid has a lot of appetite!" Chen Feng teased.

"The commander said that he was joking, our 222nd division temple is small, how can we afford to raise the big Buddha of Chief of Staff Yang, didn't we laugh just now." Li Yifeng lowered his head and said.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about it, I called you all here today to have a combat meeting, we are going to fight the little devil again, and calling you here is to arrange a combat plan." Chen Feng said.

All the people in the conference room were taken aback, although they also thought that there might be a war before they came, but they did not expect the commander to draw up all the battle plans, and it seemed that they did not discuss it with the chief of staff and the deputy commander, and it was completely the commander's intention.

"Commander, I don't know what kind of place we are going to attack this time, and what is the strategic goal?" Yang Yi asked.

"There are many places to fight, but the ultimate strategic goal is to support the battle of Wuhan from the side. I just received news last night that the Japanese army had completely occupied Guangzhou, the Fourth Theater had been completely defeated, and our last foreign port had been occupied by the Japanese army. In addition, the Japanese army is now stepping up its attack on the Tianjiazhen fortress, and the Ninth War Zone may be difficult to withstand, and Wuhan is in danger. Although we are beyond the reach of the Wuhan station whip, we can still support the battle there from the side, and contain the Japanese troops in North China, so that they cannot reinforce the Wuhan battlefield. Chen Feng said.

"Does the commander mean that the Central Army may be defeated in this battle?" Yang Yi asked with a frown.

"It's not that you might lose, but you're going to lose. Although the vast number of officers and men of the Ninth Theater were generally brave and tenacious, they also killed and wounded a large number of Japanese troops and dealt a major blow to the Japanese army. However, it is not difficult to see from the current battle situation that there are huge loopholes in the operational guidance of the top decision-makers and some high-ranking generals at the Wuhan station, and this is bound to consume too much of their own strength while consuming the enemy, which is undesirable. Chen Feng explained.

"The commander is saying that there are problems with the tactical arrangements of the Central Army, and these problems may lead to the defeat of the Battle of Wuhan, I wonder if the commander can tell us what problems have occurred in the national army?" Hua Rong also asked.

Chen Feng thought for a while and said: "The main reason is that the Central Army simply carried out positional defense in the campaign, fought with the Japanese army, and did not form the initiative strategically, let alone the belief in taking the initiative to attack. The best defense on the battlefield is to attack, no matter who executes the simple defense, the final result will be failure, defeat and failure, even if the enemy can't beat it once, then there will be a second and third time, and there will always be a position that will be occupied by the enemy. Therefore, the defense cannot be simply defended, and besides, China is a vast territory, and the Japanese army can avoid our positional facilities. Just like the Battle of Xinkou, General Wei Lihuang arranged so many defensive facilities on the Xinkou front, but it was cracked by a small tactical detour by Itagaki Seishiro, and more than 30 divisions were beaten by less than one division of the Japanese army. ”

Speaking of this, Chen Feng looked around at all the officers present, and then said loudly: "The reason why our department has been able to win many battles is because we not only have the belief of winning many battles, but also know how to use flexible and changeable tactics to deal with the Japanese army. The rigid tactics of the Japanese army that have not changed for a hundred years have no effect on us, you are all officers who have come down from the battlefield, and you have all fought with the Japanese army, think about whether those guys who are holding the 38 big cover and carrying the plaster flag are the artillery bombardment to the infantry rush, the infantry to the artillery bombardment, or the infantry to the front and the artillery to the back, at most a few Iron King Eight, are there any other changes? ”

Everyone thought about it, and suddenly found that what Chen Feng said was really right, the Japanese tactics were indeed dull to death. The commonly used tactic is the three-stage charge, the usual method of combat is to encircle in a roundabout way, like hand-to-hand combat, fighting bayonets is the favorite, and there is really nothing new in addition.

Suddenly Chen Feng sighed and said: "Even such a tactic that has not changed for 10,000 years still defeats the Chinese into an army, and more than 2 million troops have been repelled by more than 300,000 Japanese troops for thousands of miles, and we have to say that this is our sorrow." In addition, from the perspective of positional defense, the Ninth Theater also had deficiencies and mistakes in operational guidance; first, the troops were scattered, and defensive battles were carried out in continuous front-line positions, and troops were used one after another, lacking a strong strategic reserve corps. Secondly, in the course of the battle, they are often in a passive position, following the enemy's actions everywhere, and many measures are similar to "digging up flesh and mending sores". In the end, the command system is excessively affected by personnel relations, and many troop deployments are not based on operational needs, but are appointed according to factions and seniority, and their positions are not suited to the troops to which they belong, resulting in the malaise of "erecting a house under a roof and stacking beds on top of each other." Of course, the bloated structure of the Nationalist Government is also an important reason why it cannot win this war; if you think about it, a division that orders from the Military Commission to the basic strategic units can only be reached through the five levels of theater, corps, group army, corps, and corps.
