Looking at the sunburst flag embroidered with "Wuyun for a long time" on the corner posted on the wall, Okamura Ninji was silent for a long time

Looking back on his performance as commander of the First Army, it can be described as a mixed reputation, from the stalemate of the Battle of De'an, to the victory of the Battle of Nanchang, and then from the tragedy of the Battle of Shanggao, to the undefeated defeat of the Battle of Changsha, to be honest, Okamura Ningji was not satisfied with his performance, if he scored, he was only willing to give himself fifty points, yes, not the passing line.

It is undeniable that he did encounter a god-like opponent on the battlefield in Central China, and this person was Xue Yue.

Xue Yue's tenacity, Xue Yue's perseverance, Xue Yue's decisiveness, as well as his control of the situation and his prediction of the trend, everything is not below him, and even faintly overshadows him, but it is undeniable that Xue Yue actually has only one bad card in his hand, but he has a big card in his hand, and even a trump card

This trump card in the hands of Okamura Ninji is not the Aviation, nor the Navy, but Chiang Kai-shek.

That's right, it's Chiang Kai-shek, every time there is a critical moment, this artillery cadet will jump out to help Okamura Ningji, the battle of De'an, the battle of Nanchang, the battle of Shanggao, and the battle of Changsha are still like this, but sometimes Xue Yue will withstand the pressure of Lao Chiang, and sometimes he can't stand it.

With such a good card and a trump card, but in the end it was a tie with Xue Yuekankan, Okamura Ningji was very disappointed with his performance, he felt that he should not be at this level, Xue Yue was just an old soldier who graduated from the Baoding Military Academy, while he Okamura received the most advanced military theory education at Lu University

However, after several encounters, Okamura Ninji gradually discovered that compared to Xue Yue, his biggest shortcoming was experience.

That's right, it's actual combat experience, don't look at Okamura is more than ten years older than Xue Yue, but in terms of actual combat experience, the two are not at the same level.

Before the two fought in De'an, Okamura Ningji only commanded a few small-scale battles in the northeast, and wiped out more than a dozen democratic resistance alliances similar to the militia, but Xue Yue was not, this guy participated in the Northern Expedition War, fought in the Central Plains War with millions of soldiers, and even led 200,000 Central Army, chasing the Red Army's ass for thousands of miles, from Jiangxi all the way to Sichuan, and he was really experienced in a hundred battles

Okamura has theory, but Xue Yue has experience, so it's not a shame to draw with such a tough opponent.

However, just as Okamura Ninji summed up seriously, exerted his troops, and prepared for a complete victory, the base camp issued an order to transfer him back to China as a senator.

What is Senator? It's just that he was refrigerated, how can Okamura be willing?

The orderly walked in and said to Okamura Ninji with a respectful expression, "Your Excellency General, it's time to leave. ”

"Wait." Okamura Ninji waved his hand and said softly, "Fujido-san will come over later, or wait until I see Fujido-san, and then it's not too late to leave." ”

Although he is no longer the commander of the L's Army, Okamura still has to stand on his own post.

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived, as soon as Okamura Ningji's words fell, Fujido Takaying had already strode into the office, so he suddenly retracted his feet and stood upright, and bowed heavily to Okamura Ningji: "Your Excellency Commander." ”

Okamura Ninji waved his hand and said, "Fujido-san, I am no longer your commander. ”

"But in my heart, you will always be Your Excellency the Commander." Fujido Takayoung bowed again and said sincerely

Fujido Takaei's respect for Okamura Ninji is from the heart, and people who are really capable can always easily get the recognition of others, and in the Lll Army, almost all senior officers have respect for Okamura Ninji, and only those who have participated in the battles of De'an, Nanchang and Changsha know how difficult Okamura Ninji is.

In contrast, Okamura Ninji's successors, Sonobe and Ichiro, are far behind.

Okamura Ninji waved his hand and said: "Fujitang-san, I am actually against the operation you formulated to sweep Longkou County and exterminate the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui, at present, the relationship between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party has been extremely tense, and the New Fourth Army and the Central Army of the Third Theater may start a war at any time, and the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army will also be involved, so now is not a good time to do it." ”

Fujido Takaei raised his head and looked at Okamura Ninji with some surprise, since he was against it, why did he approve it

Okamura Ninji sighed: "This operation Jihua is not approved by me, it is approved by Sonobe-san, the reason why I delayed leaving until today is to meet with you, I want to make a few suggestions to you, and I hope you will consider it carefully." ”

"Hello." Fujitang Gaoying once again suddenly retracted his feet and bowed heavily, "Please also ask Your Excellency the Commander to teach." ”

"I have seriously studied the sparrow tactics of the anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui, and I must admit that this is indeed an effective tactic of using small to gain a large and attacking strong with weak; if the imperial army does not innovate its tactics and only rely on conventional tactics, it will be absolutely impossible to defeat them, and even if a division is dispatched, it will not succeed."

Fujido Takaei was a little shocked, he didn't expect Okamura Ninji to have such a high evaluation of Sparrow Battle

"But......" Okamura Ning changed his words and continued, "any tactics in this world are flawed, and although the Sparrow tactics are powerful, they are not without a solution. ”

After a pause, Okamura Ningji continued: "If you want to crack the sparrow tactic, you have to build a large number of roads, and then rely on trenches, strongholds and turrets to tightly blockade, and after a long blockade, the other side will be undefeated due to lack of materials. ”

The construction of a large number of highways and the blockade of guerrilla areas by relying on trenches, strongholds, and artillery towers have long been implemented in Central China, and this is not a new thing, but naming this set of measures as the cage tactic is a new formulation of Okamura Ninji, which raises the cage tactic to a theoretical level through actual combat testing.

"Hello." Fujitang Gao Ying bowed and said, "If you are a lowly officer, you must remember the teachings of Your Excellency the Commander, strictly pursue the cage tactics, and never take the enemy lightly. ”

"Yo Si." Okamura Ninji said happily, "If you can strictly follow the cage tactics, then with the absolute superiority of the imperial army's firepower and troops, if you want to exterminate the anti-Japanese salvation army in southern Anhui, in fact, it is not a difficult matter, okay, I have already said what I should say, the rest is up to you, as for me, it is time to leave." ”

(Dividing Line)

All the battalion commanders and officers of each regiment of the 19th detachment have all arrived in Yanjia Town to attend an emergency meeting.

"That's the way it is." Xu 19 gave a general introduction to the information obtained by the Intelligence Department, and then continued, "Although the exact intentions of Little Japan have not yet been clarified, I am sure that Little Japan is coming for our 19th detachment this time, as for how to deal with it, the general policy is consistent, that is, sparrow warfare, but how to implement it, each regiment must carefully formulate a plan when they go back." ”

For a specific event, you can draw up a plan, such as a fire, such as a flood, but in a war, it is impossible to formulate an emergency plan in advance, because you don't know which direction the enemy is coming from, and you don't know how many people will come.

"After the meeting, let's go back and step up our preparations." Xu Shijiu waved his hand and announced the adjournment of the meeting.

Coming out of the conference room, Xu Shijiu saw Shu Tongwen hurriedly coming over.

Shu Tongwen had already heard the rumors and knew that the Japanese army in Hukou was about to make a large-scale dispatch to come to Longkou to sweep up, Qingyang County was adjacent to Longkou County, if the Japanese army swept Longkou County on a large scale, Qingyang County would inevitably be affected, as the political commissar of the Qingyang County Independent Regiment, he had to hurry back to Yanyi and deal with this upcoming crisis with Liang Daring.

"Captain, I'm afraid I can't stay, I have to go back to Yanyi immediately." Shu Tongwen said.

"Don't, Arwen, since you're here, you have to stay for a few days, we haven't seen each other for a while, let's go, go to my place for a few drinks." Li Zihan walked up from the side, hugged Shu Tongwen's shoulders affectionately, and said.

"Alright, you." Shu Tongwen slapped Li Zihan's hand away, "Why don't I usually see you so affectionate."

Li Zihan shrugged, his face full of innocence, but he pretended to be enthusiastic to keep Shu Tongwen, and he really didn't have any good intentions.

The Japanese army in Hukou made a big move, came to Longkou County to sweep, Qingyang County is the only way, and the Japanese army will destroy the Qingyang County Independent Regiment first, at this time, Shu Tongwen will stay in Longkou, you can invisibly weaken the Liliang of the Qingyang County Independent Regiment, you know, although Shu Tongwen is the political commissar of the Qingyang Independent League, he is not a political worker from the ministry, he is a veteran of a hundred battles.

Xu Shijiu also felt that Shu Tongwen should not be retained anymore, so he said: "Awen, what about coordinated operations......

Shu Tongwen said: "Captain, don't worry, I will definitely bring your words to Lao Liang, as long as it is an anti-Japanese devil, no matter in the water or fire, our Qingyang Independent Regiment will definitely have nothing to say." ”
