“Bad talk!”

"All nonsense!"

"How can the Eighth Route Army have the ability to attack?"

"The Eighth Route Army has a lot of people, just a tactic of the sea of ​​people!"

As soon as Yamamoto Ichiki finished speaking, the officers in the conference room were furious again.

"Silent!" In the end, Okamura Yasuji could only press again, "Please calm down, please."

Suppressing the condemnation of the officers, Okamura Yamamoto asked Yamamoto again: "Yamamoto, has the Eighth Route Army really possessed the ability to attack in the true sense?"

"Yes, the Eighth Route Army has already possessed the ability to attack with real significance."

Yamamoto Kazuki said affirmatively: "The 13 large strongholds along the Masahiro Road and even Yangquan County were successively captured, and the Yamasaki Brigade was collectively broken in Lijiapo, which fully proved this."

Speaking of this, Yamamoto Ichiki's eyes finally turned to officers such as Sakamoto Takaichi.

"You guys, I can't understand why you still maintain the previous stereotype of the Eighth Route Army today? You still stubbornly believe that the Eighth Route Army is just a group of farmers who put down their hoes. They lack military training and weapons and equipment. They still believe that the Eighth Route Army is extremely weak in combat and has no ability to attack."

“However, the real fact is that after nearly two years of guerrilla warfare,”

"The Eighth Route Army's troops not only got a lot of opportunities for practical training, but also seized a large number of weapons and equipment from the Imperial Army and the Imperial Army, including four heavy artillery on the Type 94 armored train!"

"Through nearly two years of practical training, the Eighth Route Army's military literacy has been greatly improved."

"With the equipment seized from the Imperial Army and the Imperial Army, the equipment level of the Eighth Route Army has also been qualitatively improved."

"I don't know if you have done statistics? But I have counted the war losses of the North China Front Army and the Imperial Army from the beginning of this year to the present."

"There are more than 40,000 rifles of various types."

"More than 1,000 light and heavy machine guns of various models."

"More than 200 mortars of various types, mountain cannons and field cannons."

"You guys, in addition to artillery, these weapons and equipment are enough to arm three types of armored divisions. Do you actually think that the Eighth Route Army does not have the ability to attack? How stupid!"

Speaking of this, Yamamoto Ichiki was already stern.

Obviously, Yamamoto Kazuki was really disappointed with his colleagues.

Nearly a hundred officers in the conference room were stunned, and they really didn't expect this.

From the beginning of this year to the present, the North China Front Army and the Imperial Army have lost so much equipment?

Yamamoto Kazuki groaned and said to Okamura Yanji: "However, the North China Front Army lacked sufficient understanding of the improvement of the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army, and did not make targeted adjustments and deployments, so that the traffic trunk line that lasted thousands of kilometers was full of loopholes, which eventually led to a disastrous defeat in the traffic line breaking battle."

Okamura Yasuji said in a deep voice: "What do you mean is that the failure of the traffic line attack is not because of the insufficient troops of the Imperial Army, but because of improper tactics and no targeted deployment is made?"

"Yes." Yamamoto Kazuki said with great certainty, "the military strength is actually sufficient. Although the Eighth Route Army has a large number of people and has greatly improved its military literacy and weapons and equipment, it is still at an obvious disadvantage overall compared with the Imperial Army. Objectively speaking, the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army is about one-fifth of that of the Imperial Army!"

"The 1st Army has 80,000 troops. Even if half of the troops are left to deal with the Central Army of China and the Shanxi Sui Army, at least 40,000 troops can be mobilized to deal with the Eighth Route Army."

"And the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi has about 100,000 troops."

"So, the 1st Army's troops are actually completely sufficient."

"The reason why the traffic line was defeated was completely because there were tactical problems."

"In fact, the inappropriate tactics are also caused by underestimating the enemy. Because they look down on the Eighth Route Army too much, they do not believe that the Eighth Route Army already has the ability to launch large-scale offensive operations, so they carry out point-like defense and disperse a large number of troops in various strongholds, which gives the Eighth Route Army the opportunity to concentrate their forces to defeat them one by one."

"The cage tactic proposed by His Excellency Tada Jung, which uses railways as pillars, highways as chains, and bunkers as locks as locks is a clever tactic. However, no matter how skilled the tactic is deviated, it will become an inefficient and stupid tactic, and the result will only be counterproductive and become a burden."

Okamura Yasuji said: "So, where is the deviation?"

"Greed in the great and seek complete!" Yamamoto Ichiki said, "The North China Front Army made the mistake of greed in the great and seek complete in the process of implementing the cage tactics. More than a thousand counties, thousands of kilometers of traffic trunk lines, and a large number of key passes and barriers. They all want to occupy them, and they have to divide their troops to guard them. As a result, they set up defenses everywhere, and defenses everywhere are not set up defenses everywhere."

"It's okay to do this before the Eighth Route Army's combat effectiveness has been restored and they don't have the ability to attack."

"However, when the Eighth Route Army's combat effectiveness gradually recovers and initially has the ability to attack, the North China Front Army must make adjustments at the tactical execution level."

Okamura Yasuji said: "How should we adjust the deployment?"

"Give up the strongholds on the periphery." Yamamoto Ichiki Road, "There are also some remote counties that can be completely abandoned. Then, use the freed troops to form several mobile strike forces, use these mobile strike forces to ensure the absolute safety of several main traffic lines, ensure that the various bandit areas of the Eighth Route Army are separated, and that they are not allowed to be connected in groups!"

Okamura Yasuji's eyes flashed, and Yamamoto's idea actually coincided with him.

Before leaving Tokyo and coming to North China to take office, the Emperor summoned him to inquire about the overall strategy of the security war in North China.

Okamura Yasuji explained his ideas to the Emperor from both political and military levels. Among them, the political level is to implement the three no policies. The military strategy is to retain the cage tactics and to carry out appropriate contraction on this basis to free up troops to form a sufficient number of mobile troops, divide the Eighth Route Army bases, and then sweep them one by one until the main armed forces in each base are completely destroyed.

"What's the matter?"

At this moment, Okamura Yasuji asked: "What should I do after the breakup of each bandit area?"

"Concentrate the troops and launch a sweep one by one." Yamamoto Kazuki said in a deep voice, "Until there is no established resistance armed forces in each bandit area, the Eighth Route Army will lose its ability to attack again, and then it can expand its defense and widely distribute artillery towers and strongholds in various bandit areas, making the Eighth Route Army guerrillas untenable. Only in this way can the security situation in North China be truly improved, otherwise no matter how much troops are invested, it will be futile."

"Yoxi." Okamura Yasuji was so proud of this.

Unexpectedly, Yamamoto Ichiki thought exactly the same as him.

At that moment, Okamura Yasuji asked immediately: "So, do you have any insights about the mobilization?"

Yamamoto Ichiki was immediately excited when he heard this. After so long, the general finally reached the point. The next thing he really wanted to explain!

Yamamoto Kazuki said, "I have a little Asahisattva to discuss with you and you guys."

Speaking of this, Yamamoto Kazuki said again: "But can you change the place? I thought of discussing specific tactics with the General and you all in combination with the map."

"Of course." Okamura Yasuji smiled.

Nearly a hundred people came to the first floor war room.

...

The brigade commander's reward call was sent to the headquarters soon.

The brigade commander not only asked for credit for Wang Ye, but also asked for credit for Li Yunlong, Ding Wei, Kong Jie, Cheng Shifa, Zhao Gang and other regiment-level cadres to commend their outstanding performance in the Battle of Hundred Regiments.

Yes, the Hundred Regiments Battle has not been summarized and commended.

Because the sudden inmate of Yamazaki brigade delayed this matter.

After receiving a telegram from the brigade commander, the boss sent someone to ask the division commander and the deputy chief of staff to discuss.

The boss said: "Do you two have any different opinions about Li Yunlong, Ding Wei, Kong Jie, Cheng Shifa, and Zhao Gang?"

“No disagreement.”

The division commander and the deputy chief of staff shook their heads.

This is how cadre promotion is, the fewer the higher it goes.

At present, the Eighth Route Army units do not lack division and brigade-level cadres, but the most lacking are battalion-level military cadres.

So now, I can only give Li Yunlong and the others a reward, and then write a note on my personal resume, and then consider the level promotion after the troops are regularized in the future.

As for now, I can only be a League-level cadre.

The boss said again: "Then let's talk about Wang Ye's problem now."

After saying this, the boss asked the deputy chief of staff again and said, "Have you ever had any feedback on Wang Ye's identity?"

"Yes, yes, there has been feedback." The Deputy Chief of Staff said, and got up and searched for documents on the cabinet. "There has been feedback from Yan'an for a long time. I'm so dizzy these days."

After saying that, the Deputy Chief of Staff took out a document and handed it to the CEO.

After reading it, the boss handed it to the teacher and said, "It's okay to say so?"

"No problem." The Deputy Chief of Staff nodded, "Our party has repeatedly investigated and confirmed through the two aspects of the Communist International and European branches, and Wang Ye's identity is true."

"He is indeed a second-generation overseas Chinese living in Germany."

"It is indeed a study at the Berlin Military Academy."

"And Wang Ye's grandfather is also a patriotic overseas Chinese."

"Before his death, he had donated money to the domestic revolution many times."

"Wang Ye was exposed to communist ideas when he was in Germany."

"At that time, Wang Ye had a very obvious tendency to progress."

"That's great." The commander nodded happily, "Then let's quickly develop him to join the party."

The boss said: "There is no need to say more about developing Wang Ye's joining the party. What we need to discuss now is how to arrange Wang Ye's level and work?"

The division commander said: "Li Yunlong has mentioned Wang Ye's level to me no less than three times in private."

"Oh, is that?" the boss said a little surprised, "Li Yunlong had told you a long time ago? What did he say?"

"What else can I say about this kid Li Yunlong?" the division commander smiled, "Isn't I hope I will make an exception for him and promote Wang Ye to a deputy battalion or even a battalion-level cadre."

The Deputy Chief of Staff said: "With Wang Ye's background, education and ability, especially the top students at the Berlin Military Academy, compared with the political treatment of the 38-style cadres, the positions of 38-style cadres are now generally in the main camp, so I think there is no problem in promoting Wang Ye to a main camp level cadre."

The boss nodded and said, "I think it's very suitable, too."

"I originally agreed." The commander smiled bitterly, "but after a few things happened, they could only be put on hold for the time being."

The boss smiled and said, "As soon as you say this, I remembered it. It was Wang Ye who buried the Japanese prisoners alive?"

"Not only, I have sent someone to investigate. Wang Ye later secretly did the killing of prisoners several times, including the previous attack on Yangquan County, and he had already captured Maeda Hidemae, the commander of the 4th Brigade of the Japanese Army, but he still killed him." The division commander said as he kept shook his head, "It is natural to kill the Japanese on the battlefield, but if you don't kill on the battlefield, you have to capture the prisoners, and when you catch the prisoners, you will be executed. Who is that? How could he do this like this?"
