Start as a young leader, grow bigger and stronger, and create more glory

As Xu Le watched, Jiang Feng explained on the military map beside him: "Our guess is indeed correct. The Japanese army has transferred a large number of troops from the mainland. Currently, there are already millions of troops. It is not clear whether there will be more troops in the future.

This one million troops landed from Liaodong Peninsula, Shandong Peninsula, Shanghai and Guangdong Province.

The Japanese troops that landed in Shandong Province were the 7th Division, which was Japan's permanent division guarding its homeland. It had been in the Northeast for two years before the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan and had very strong combat effectiveness.

The division had arrived in Shijiazhuang and was stationed there together with the 11th Division and the 1st Tank Division transferred from the Kwantung Army.

Shijiazhuang is the meeting point of the Pinghan Railway and the Zhengtai Railway, so it is natural for the Japanese army to mobilize heavy troops to guard here.

The divisions originally stationed nearby are still there, but they are spread out to form a large defensive line."

"As for the northern Shanxi area north of Xinzhou, the 8th and 14th divisions and two artillery brigades were transferred from the Kwantung Army to garrison with the original 2th and 36th divisions. The rest of the area remained basically unchanged."

Xu Le listened to the explanation, slowly read the intelligence in his hand and said: "The purpose of the devil is very clear, they want to transfer all the permanent divisions that can be mobilized to our side, and then use the newly formed troops to take over the original positions of those divisions!

If my guess is correct, several permanent divisions in central China should also be transferred to us, and then the newly formed troops that landed in Shanghai will take over their positions!

However, the combat effectiveness of these newly formed troops will definitely not be strong enough to confront the main force of the National Guard.

So I guess that when these divisions arrive around us, some of the existing divisions around us will be transferred to the Kwantung Army and Central China to fill the gaps. "

Jiang Feng said in a deep voice: "This is most likely the case. The newly formed troops will be mixed with the existing medium divisions to replace the Kwantung Army and the Central China Japanese Army.

Then bring the standing divisions and high-powered divisions from these two places to our place to fight against us."

Xu Le hesitated for a moment, then asked Xiang Dalong: "Which permanent divisions of the devils are there in Central China?"

Dalong seemed to have been prepared for the job, and immediately replied: "There are the 3rd Division, the 13th Division, and the 15th Division. According to intelligence, there have been calls for changes there. I guess it's just like what we said, they should be transferred over!"

"That's great!"

Liu Quanhua, who had been hiding in the corner, suddenly shouted, "They are all elite Japanese soldiers. I am fighting against the elite! Come on, my division must lead the charge, and no one is allowed to compete with me!"

Xu Le rolled his eyes at the other party and said, "Hey, Commander Liu, do you have a lot of free time? I have high hopes for your division. I spent a lot of money to equip you with better equipment. Why don't you watch them train properly? Why do you always come to the headquarters? When did your division headquarters move from Xinzhou to the headquarters?"

At this time, another silent Wei Junjun spoke up: "It doesn't take much time. We have a helicopter. It's very fast to go back and forth!"

Wei Junjun had always been a bystander and seldom spoke, but this time he spoke for the first time.

Perhaps because he used to be a member of the Military Control Commission, they liked to invite people like Liu Quanhua who deserted their posts and used military equipment to come over for a chat.

Why did you go out? What did you do? Who did you meet? What did you say?

Liu Quanhua touched his stubble embarrassedly and said, "Isn't it that Chief of Staff Xiao is watching over us? I trust him! Besides, the headquarters of the 3rd Mechanized Infantry Division is not here, and Fang Yue has also been staying at the headquarters. Why don't you say anything about him?"

Fang Yue's face was immediately filled with black lines. I didn't provoke you, why are you here to get around me? This is intolerable!

"I am first and foremost the operations staff of the military, and secondly the acting commander of the 3rd Mechanized Infantry Division! Commander Liu, do you have any questions?"

"No, everything you said is right!" Liu Quanhua waved his hands, pretending to be an honest man being bullied!

Xu Le shook his head helplessly. The current troops do not require discipline like when they first left Kang Province.

So he looked at Jiang Feng and said, "Liu Quanhua was absent from his post without permission, and he will be fined half a year's military pay. If it happens again, you will be promoted to regiment commander! If you are still not good enough as a regiment commander, you will be promoted to battalion commander, and so on!"

"Okay!" Jiang Feng responded, but he was a little surprised.

As far as he could remember, since the division commander had been punishing everyone section by section, it was the first time that the young marshal had punished someone so severely.

At the same time, he was cursing in his heart that bastard Liu Quanhua was always so sloppy. If he hadn't taken into consideration his decades-old friend, he would have taken it upon himself to take him down and experience life.

As for deducting military pay?

hehe....

Liu Quanhua’s military pay for the next five years has been deducted.

Liu Quanhua was not really stupid. He knew that Xu Le was really angry at the moment, so he laughed and left, saying that he was going back to the Xinzhou division headquarters.

A few minutes later, on the helicopter, Liu Quanhua looked at the headquarters on the ground and sighed, "Xiao Le'er, the commander-in-chief went through untold hardships to bring up the troops. It's not a good thing for the troops to develop too fast now. You are still young and soft-hearted.

You haven't severely punished any officer in the past two years. How can they respect you from the bottom of their hearts?

The best way to lead an army is to use both kindness and power. You give enough kindness to make the soldiers admire you, but you don't have enough power!

Let me, as your uncle, start this!"

.....

After returning to the headquarters and discussing the Japanese deployment, Jiang Feng took out another telegram with a sullen face.

"Young Marshal, this is the news that just came from the Military Commission!"

Xu Le noticed that the atmosphere was not right. He did not answer the telegram, but asked directly: "What happened?"

"The expeditionary army was defeated, and it was defeated completely. Only less than 10 of the 1 people returned home, and more than 5000 people lost contact. The rest were all buried in a foreign country!"

"What did you say?" Xu Le was shocked and quickly took the telegram to read it.

Many trajectories of this world are the same as those of his previous life. For example, the expeditionary force in his previous life and the expeditionary force in this world are of the same size and they went abroad at the same time.

He remembered that the expeditionary force's first trip abroad was indeed a failure, but the number of casualties was only 5.

How come there are only 1 people alive now?

Jiang Feng explained: "It is said that the expeditionary force and the British coalition forces were ambushed by the Japanese, and the Japanese troops were almost twice as many as expected. I suspect that it was the main force of the Japanese fighting in the East Indies!"

At this time, Wang Dafu spoke up: "I think so too. Even if they were ambushed and had to retreat in a hurry, the coalition forces of more than 10 would not be nearly wiped out. Just like our previous battle in Taiyuan, there were hundreds of thousands of devils, but we only killed and captured 4."

Xu Le threw the telegram to the ground and said, "How come there is only so little intelligence? There is no detailed information. We don't even know the numbers of the devils!"

Jiang Feng shook his head slightly: "The troops were almost completely destroyed. It's already good enough to save 1 people. How can we have time to investigate the intelligence of the devils!"
