I am a wolf warrior

When the plane landed, Yoshio Shinozuka, the commander of the 1st Army stationed in Shanxi, was already on the runway with Takashi Tanaka, Takaichi Sakamoto and other senior staff officers of the headquarters.

"Shinozuka-kun, I kept you waiting for a long time."

Neiji Okamura walked down the gangway and said apologetically.

"It is a great honor for all the imperial soldiers of our 1st Army to be able to come to Taiyuan to personally guide the work, General." Yoshio Shinozuka smiled and said solemnly, "Strive up."

"Please, Shinozuka-kun." Okamura Neiji humbly.

The last two old devils walked a side by side.

Back at the headquarters of the 1st Army, Ningji Okamura immediately held a staff meeting before he could rest.

There are generally two types of military meetings in Little Japan. One is the cabinet meeting, which only military chiefs are eligible to participate in, and the other is the staff meeting, which can be attended by military officers who think they are qualified to participate in the meeting.

After the news spread, the large conference room that could accommodate hundreds of people was quickly filled with military officers.

Most of the devil's officers are well-educated, and many of them graduated from the Army Non-commissioned Officer School or even the Army University. They all have a strong desire to express themselves. He was transferred to the first-line army as the chief officer, and has been on the rise ever since.

Serving as a front-line officer is every officer's dream.

However, those who are really capable of saying one, two, three are a minority after all.

Most of the officers actually just came here to join in the fun, just to get acquainted with each other.

The purpose of these officers was basically achieved, because Okamura Ningji shook hands with them one by one.

After shaking hands, Okamura Neiji straightly bent his body into a seven-character bow in front of Shinozuka Yoshio, Tanaka Takayoshi and other senior generals and officers of the First Army.

"Gentlemen, I offer my sincerest apologies to you."

"Because of my ignorance, recklessness and stupidity, I have caused you trouble."

Neiji Okamura's coquettish operation caught Yoshio Shinozuka and Takashi Tanaka by surprise.

"Your Excellency, why did you say that?" Yoshio Shinozuka and Takashi Tanaka quickly followed suit and bowed.

Okamura Neiji maintained the bowing posture for half a minute, then got up and stroked Shinozuka and Yoshio, and motioned for everyone to sit down, and those who didn't have a seat stood still.

After a pause, Okamura Ningji went on to say: "I am here in Taiyuan, and I am here to apologize to my colleagues in the 1st Army. In addition, I also want to hear your views on the so-called Hundred Regiments War and the Battle of Lijiapo. , you don’t have to worry about anything, just speak up if you have any ideas, I’m here to listen.”

Whispering immediately sounded in the conference room.

All the young officers attending the meeting were eager to try.

Such opportunities are rare and must be seized.

……

Neiji Okamura and the officers of the 1st Army were reviewing and summarizing the gains and losses of the battle. The brigade commander and the cadres of the mobile column were not idle, and they were also summarizing and discussing the next battle situation.

"The devil's revenge is beyond doubt."

Ding Wei took a piece of braised pork and stuffed it into his mouth.

While chewing, he said: "And the intensity of this revenge will be far greater than before."

"In the previous raids, the devils only used a few brigades at most, and tens of thousands of people were killed. There has never been more than 2 people at one time. But this time, I dare to assert that the number of devils participating in the raid must exceed 3. [-], or even more than [-] is entirely possible!"

After a pause, Ding Wei said again: "But there is one thing, the devils may not be able to retaliate now, because the war in the south has not yet been fought, and the top devils are temporarily unable to take action."

"Even if the battle in the south is over, it may take some time."

"Because the mobilization and transportation of combat materials takes time, especially since several transportation lines such as Zhengtai Road, Tongpu Road, and Pinghan Line have been damaged to a large extent, it will take longer."

"Based on my estimation, the devil's revenge will take until at least October."

Wang Yexin said that the talent of a general is the talent of a general, and Ding Wei's judgment is accurate.

Because in history, the devil's raid on the Taihang Military Region started in October.

Ding Wei continued: "So, we still have about three months to prepare for the battle."

"Taking advantage of this period of time, we must improve the training level of the troops as much as possible, hoard ammunition as much as possible, and at the same time make as many plans as possible."

"The plan?" the brigade commander asked, "What plan?"

Ding Wei put down the chopsticks in his hand, wrenched his fingers and said, "Our general anti-sweeping strategy is nothing more than two. One is to fight inside, and the other is to fight outside."

"Then it is necessary to formulate a combat plan in advance for internal and external operations."

"If you fight on the inside, how do you fight? And if you fight on the outside, how do you break out? Which troops will come back after the breakout, which troops will not come back, etc., you have to think about it first, so as not to be beaten by the devils at that time." Caught off guard and in a mess."

Kong Jie frowned and said, "Old Ding, what should we do with this plan?"

"Yes." Cheng Shifa also said, "The devil's raid has not even started yet. We don't know how many troops the devil will invest in the raid, let alone from which directions the devil will come. The specific strength of each direction is different." How much, we don’t know these factors, how to plan? Isn’t this nonsense?”

Ding Wei said with a smile: "Didn't I just say that I can make a few more plans."

"For example." The chief of staff asked, "Ding Wei, why don't you explain it to everyone in detail."

Ding Wei nodded and said: "It is impossible for us to predict the number of troops and combat plans of the devils, but we can assume that, let's assume that the devils invest less than [-] troops to sweep them."

"Then my basic judgment is that there is a dozen."

"Our Taihang Military Region can choose to fight inside."

"With the favorable terrain and the support of the people in the military area, if the devils in one or two directions are severely damaged or even wiped out, the devil's raid will go bankrupt."

"Suppose the devils invest [-] to [-] troops."

"Then my basic judgment is that you can't fight head-on."

"More than 2 people are equivalent to a class A division of devils."

"To be honest, with the current strength of our Taihang Military Region, if we fight head-on with a Type-A division of the devils, the chances of winning are slim, right?"

"If the devils invest more than [-] troops to sweep them away."

"Then there is nothing to say, we can only split up and break through, jump to the outside line and disperse the battle."

"You see, according to the number of troops sent by the little devil, we can formulate three different sets of plans, right? Then according to the possible route of the little devil's troops, we can formulate three sets of plans. Combining the two, that is nine sets of contingency plans Contingency plans, and more can be done if necessary."

Cheng Shifa said: "Is this necessary?"

"It is necessary." The brigade commander said, "If you are prepared, you will be safe!"

The chief of staff said: "The brigade commander is right. The more adequate the preparations are, the greater the chance of winning. Even if you are finally forced to break through, you can also minimize the loss."

Ding Wei said: "Speaking of which, I'm afraid the Wolf Warriors team will have to work hard again."

"I know." Wang Ye stood up and said, "Our wolf team will definitely try to cover every mountain, every ditch, and every road in the Taihang Military Region within three months!"

"Then mark all the terrain suitable for blocking and ambush."

"At that time, the chiefs will be able to find the ideal battlefield as soon as they open the map."

"Sit down and talk." The brigade commander signaled Wang Ye to sit down, got up and poured him a bowl of wine, and then asked, "Xiao Wang, Ding Wei's judgment is that the Japanese army has less than [-] troops, and our Taihang Military Region is the only one that can fight." If it exceeds [-], you must avoid the real situation and attack the false, and if it exceeds [-], you must abandon the Taihang base and jump to the outside line, so what is your judgment?"

Wang Ye was not too pretentious, and said directly: "My basic judgment is that the number of troops participating in the mopping up of the devils must exceed 3, or even 5!"

"Ah?" The faces of the brigade commander and the chief of staff changed slightly.

Fifty thousand devils is equivalent to two Type A divisions.

The strength of the army even exceeds that of the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang Military Region. How can we fight this?

At that time, not to mention insisting on fighting inside, I am afraid that it will be difficult to break through separately.

The Chief of Staff said: "According to intelligence, the 1st Japanese Army in Shanxi has only 3 divisions and 4 brigades in total, and the total number of all combat troops is about 8. How could the central army in Shanshan deploy 5 people to attack our Taixing military area?"

"It's very simple." Wang Ye said decisively.

"The devils are about to send more troops to Shanxi."

……

In the conference room of the Taiyuan 1st Army Headquarters.

Among the nearly [-] young military officers who participated in the meeting, except for a few officers whose language skills were really bad, most of them had already spoken and put forward their own opinions.

"I have already listened to the speeches of the gentlemen, and it can be summed up in one point."

Speaking of this meal, Okamura Ningji said again: "Because of insufficient troops, is it?"

"Your Excellency, this is the truth." Operations Section Chief Ryuichi Sakamoto couldn't help it anymore, stood up and said, "The First Army only has 1 divisions and 3 brigades in total."

"Because of demobilization and war injuries,"

"Almost all units are seriously understaffed."

"In name, the First Army has more than 1 imperial soldiers."

"But in reality, the 1st Army only has less than 7 combatants."

"There are only 7 people, not only to be responsible for the security of Shanxi Province, but also to ensure the safety of the three main traffic lines of Zhengtai Road, Tongpu Road, and Baijin Line, and to set aside a considerable number of troops to guard the Chinese army in Zhongtiao Mountain. Even so, the base camp still transferred 1 infantry brigades from the 4st Army to support the Central China battlefield.”

"As a result, the defenses on all communication lines were empty, and this was the disastrous failure of the Hundred Regiments War."

"If there are enough troops, with the weak combat power of the Eighth Route Army, it is absolutely impossible to threaten all communication lines, and it is even more impossible to inflict such heavy damage on the imperial army."

Hearing this, Kazuki Yamamoto couldn't help it, and was about to stand up and refute.

However, before Kazuki Yamamoto got up, Shinozuka Yoshio stretched out his hand to grab him.

Kazuki Yamamoto looked back in astonishment, Yoshio Shinozuka shook his head slightly.

Although Kazuki Yamamoto was a little puzzled, he always respected Shinozuka Yoshio, so he sat back again.

Seeing that no one stood up to speak again, Okamura Ningji said: "I think what you said is very reasonable. With the current strength of the 1st Army, it is really difficult to undertake such a difficult combat task."

"I will apply to the base camp as soon as possible to increase the strength of the 1st Army."

Speaking of this, he paused for a while, and then said: "But I want to take this opportunity to tell you, the population of the empire is not enough to compare with that of China."

"So it is absolutely impossible for the imperial army to gain an advantage in strength on the battlefield."

"Also, it is absolutely impossible to have a sufficient number of imperial soldiers in every county, every traffic line, and even every stronghold, because China is too large, and the county towns, traffic lines, and traffic points that need to be guarded There are too many, if there are enough troops everywhere, there will be millions of people in the North China region!"

"And this, for the empire, is impossible anyway."

"So, even if the base camp agrees to increase troops, at most it will be one or two brigades."

Hearing this, the officers present at the meeting showed disappointment. How could one or two brigades be enough?

But then again, it is much better to increase troops by one or two brigades than not to increase troops but to transfer troops from Shanxi.

……

Mobile Column Command.

The brigade commander said: "Xiao Wang, why do you think the devils will send more troops to Shanxi?"

"The reason is very simple." Wang Ye said, "Because of this Hundred Regiments War, we hurt the devil."

After a pause, he continued: "Especially in our Taihang Military Region, the 4th Brigade stationed in Yangquan was seriously injured, so the Japanese base camp will definitely send more troops to Shanxi, so that the 1st Army can gather heavy troops to encircle and suppress us. Taihang base, otherwise the 1st Army will be in big trouble when our Taihang base is fully developed."

"I agree with Xiao Wang's judgment." Ding Wei said, "The devils will definitely increase their troops."

"What can we do?" Cheng Shifa frowned, "Do you really want to give up the base?"

Ding Wei said: "If the devils really concentrate more than 3 troops to mop up, they will have to give up the base area. There is no other way. Compared with the Japanese army, there is still a big gap in the strength of our Eighth Route Army at this stage. You can't fight recklessly, so you can only choose to avoid the edge."

Wang Ye said: "That's not necessarily true, in fact there are better choices."

"A better choice?" Ding Wei asked in amazement, "What choice?"

"That is the combination of internal and external lines." Wang Yedao, "specifically, the main force of the military region stays in the base area, relying on favorable terrain and the support of the people, and insists on fighting inside."

"Send another mobile unit to jump outside to harass the devils behind."

"This mobile force must have a considerable size and high mobility. It must also be equipped with heavy weapons. It must be able to pose a threat to high-value targets in the Japanese-occupied areas, such as Taiyuan!"

"Taiyuan?!" Several regiment leaders regained their spirits.

Especially Li Yunlong, he even dreamed of playing Taiyuan.

The brigade commander and the chief of staff couldn't help but exchanged glances.

Isn't the mobile unit that Wang Ye is talking about their mobile column?

Speaking of which, the reason why the head of the headquarters made up his mind to form a mobile column was probably to deal with the situation Wang Ye mentioned?

After all, it is the head of headquarters.

The vision is long-term.

But it's really surprising that Wang Ye can have such a vision.
