The brigade commander's face immediately collapsed.

Li Yunlong's mouth immediately reached the root of his ears.

The brigade commander said with a dark face: "Wang Yan, I want to know your reason."

"The reason is very simple." Wang Yan nodded and said, "As the brigade commander said, the situation of the anti-Japanese war in Shanxi is about to undergo qualitative changes, and it is about to enter the strategic counterattack stage from strategic stalemate."

"But in a short period of time, our army is still unable to organize large-scale battles."

"Because our logistics support capabilities cannot support large-scale offensive operations."

"That means that within at least two years, we will still be able to attack the Japanese army in pieces, and there will be almost no battles where more than one brigade of troops will be concentrated."

"So I think staying in the independent group is more conducive to fighting the Japanese."

Of course this is just a high-sounding reason, the real reason is that he is guilty.

All his overall situation comes from the prediction of the uncertainty of history. Once he goes to the brigade headquarters or even the headquarters, it is easy to reveal the situation.

"Okay, you convinced me again." The brigade commander said helplessly, "In two years, our Eighth Route Army is indeed unable to organize a large-scale strategic counterattack. If you go to the brigade combat department, the role you can play is indeed limited."

Speaking of this, the brigade commander continued, "However, I'm curious what kind of unique insights you will have about the overall situation of the War of Resistance in the future? Let's talk about the battle situation in Shanxi first."

Wang Yandao: "Brig Commander, the battle situation in Shanxi has become very clear."

"The first Japanese Army of Shanxi died before the attack on the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi Sui Army was launched. In addition, the Yamamoto Special Forces failed to sink into the sand in Zhaojiayu, which are two landmark events."

"This marks that the first Japanese Army in Shanxi has basically lost the ability to attack strategically."

"Next, the First Japanese Army in Shanxi may still launch a small-scale offensive operation in local areas, but from the overall situation, it will definitely move to the defensive operation stage."

"That means that from now on, the first Japanese army in Shanxi will fall into a full passive position."

"And as time goes by, the situation of the First Japanese Army in Shanxi will become more and more passive."

"In a sense, Shanxi has actually become a strategic negative asset for the Japanese invaders."

"The benefits that the Japanese army can obtain from Shanxi are no longer enough to make up for their losses, so if the Japanese army continues to persevere in Shanxi, they will only continue to lose blood."

"Strategic negative assets?" said the brigade commander, "What do you mean is that the Japanese army may give up Shanxi?"

"That probably won't, at least not in a short time." Wang Yan shook his head and said, "because Shanxi and Shandong are the strategic wings of the entire North China Plain."

"The First Japanese Army in Shanxi has fallen into a full passive position."

"The situation of the 12th Japanese Army in Shandong is not much better than that of the First Army."

"If the Japanese army gave up Shanxi, does that mean that they would give up Shandong?"

"Once the Japanese army abandons Shanxi, the two wings of Shandong will be completely exposed."

"By that time, even the entire North China region will become a strategic negative asset for the Japanese invaders."

"So, will the Japanese army give up North China? And if North China is given up, then Central China and South China will become strategic negative assets. Do you also have to give up all of them?"

"If this is the case, the Japanese army will completely collapse to the four eastern provinces."

"The situation will return to the situation before the July 7 Lugou Bridge Incident."

"With Japan's current national conditions, the consequences will be disastrous."

"I understand." Zhao Gang nodded and said, "This is like a domino. The Japanese army in Shanxi is the first domino. Once the first card falls, it will trigger a series of chain reactions and form an avalanche."

"Yes, that's it." Wang Yandao, "so the Japanese army will definitely defend Shanxi."

"Even if you know that Shanxi has become a strategic negative asset, and even if you know that Shanxi's wound will cause the Japanese army to continue to lose blood, the Japanese army must defend it."

The brigade commander couldn't help but sigh in his heart again.

Wang Yan's vision is really poisonous.

His judgment on the overall situation of the War of Resistance was exactly the same as that of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters.

However, the Eighth Route Army headquarters' judgment was based on the intelligence summarized by various bases and was collective wisdom, while Wang Yan was just a chief of staff of an independent regiment. The source of information was very limited and he was a person, so it was rare to make such a judgment. This person's vision was really extraordinary!

Unfortunately, this guy refused to go to the brigade department.

Moreover, the time to force people is indeed not ripe.

Sighing, the brigade commander continued to ask, "So, what should we do next?"

Wang Yan said: "The next thing we have to do is two things. One is to vigorously develop the economy of the base area and actively reserve various strategic materials. If the Japanese army can hold on for more than two years, then in two years, our Eighth Route Army will have the ability to launch large-scale offensive operations on various battlefields."

"If the Japanese army can't hold on for so long, it's okay."

"We will have a war sooner or later with the Kuomintang. The stable base and the reserved strategic materials are just used to deal with the Kuomintang and liberate the whole country."

Li Yunlong said: "What is the second thing?"

Wang Yan said: "The second thing is to break the troops into pieces and turn them into sharp sewing needles."

"Although the sewing needle is not fatal, the prick is just a small hole, and the amount of bleeding is only a little, but if there are 100 or 1,000 needles pierce it, the amount of bleeding caused by so many wounds will be considerable."

Li Yunlong slapped his thigh and said, "That's how our independent group does it."

"It's not just your independent regiment." said the brigade commander, "almost all bases are doing this."

"So, Kazuo Okamoto regards our Eighth Route Army as a major concern." Wang Yan nodded and said, "Because at this stage, our Eighth Route Army has indeed replaced the Kuomintang army and become the biggest threat to the Japanese army."

Li Yunlong said: "Now that Yamamoto's agent team has been taken over by us, your wolf teeth team has no worries, and you can go out for a side job with confidence."

"Your Wolf Tooth Team is not a sewing needle, but a dagger."

"If the Japanese army in Shanxi is killed by your wolf-tooth team, it will be amazing."

Wang Yan smiled and said, "I actually have an immature idea about how to make the Japanese army in Shanxi lose blood as quickly as possible."

When the brigade commander heard this, he immediately looked moved. Even if Wang Yan raised the matter so seriously, this idea would not be simple even if it was immature. Maybe it would really pose a fatal threat to the first Japanese army in Shanxi.

The brigade commander said, "Then you might as well speak out and let us also advise you."

Wang Yan stood up and walked to the north wall, pointed to the map on the wall and said, "Brig Commander, the regiment commander and the political commissar, please see, this is the defense zone of our independent regiment, centered on the Tongpu Railway, with a total of eleven counties in the west and the east and the fifth counties. Although we have never conducted accurate statistics, there are at least a thousand large and small strongholds!"
