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

Time flies, and May has passed quickly. The temperature in Shanxi Province has remained between 5 and 10 degrees, which is quite pleasant.

Since the end of the Battle of Taiyuan, wars in various parts of the Tang Dynasty have almost stopped, and even some minor frictions have become rare.

The Japanese completely stopped their offensive in central and southern China and switched to full defense.

Only from time to time there were guerrillas in the areas occupied by the Japanese that caused some sabotage and harassment, which caused considerable trouble to the Japanese.

At this time, everyone discovered a problem, that is, the elite Japanese troops in the central China region had been transferred away one after another. Among the permanent divisions, except for the 15th Division which was still stationed in Gan Province, the 3rd Division and the 13th Division were gone.

Instead, there were several newly formed Japanese divisions that had never been heard of. According to the investigation of the National Guard Intelligence Department, the weapons and equipment of these newly formed divisions were chaotic and insufficient, and heavy weapons were lacking.

However, the total number of troops is not small, and the overall strength still exceeds that of the National Guard.

A few days later, the location of the missing 3rd and 13th Divisions was determined, both appeared in Shijiazhuang, Hebei Province. The 40th and 41st Divisions that were originally there appeared in the central China area.

It was at this time that the National Guard finally figured out the deployment of the Japanese invaders around Taiyuan!

The first is the well-known Xinkou, where the main force of the 88th Army confronted the Japanese, and the Japanese actually transferred their strongest main force, the 1st Division, and the 9th Division from the Kwantung Army.

鬼子现在部署在忻口的部队就有：第1、8、9、14，共4个师团，全部是常设师团。

The 23rd, 26th and 27th divisions were gathered in Yuanping Town, Gang County, Dai County and Fanshi County, dozens of kilometers northeast of Xinkou.

To the northwest, Ningwu County and Shuo County in Yangfangkou are home to the 21st, 22nd, and 24th divisions.

The headquarters of the First Army of the former Japanese North China Front Army has been moved to Datong in northern Shanxi, where a permanent division transferred from the Kwantung Army, the 10th Division, is also stationed.

此外还有第36、37、41等师团，独立混成第2、3、4、16旅团则是在大同周边的县镇。

Then there is the Hebei Province area east of Niangzi Pass.

石家庄首当其冲，拥有鬼子大量主力，包括第3、7、11、13、17、110、116等师团。

More importantly, Shijiazhuang not only has the 4th Cavalry Brigade, but also the 1st Tank Division and the 3rd Tank Division.

The 32nd Division is stationed in Handan, south of Shijiazhuang.

Further south in Anyang County in northern Henan, is the 13th Division.

Going south from Jincheng, out of the Taihang Mountains in northern Henan's Xinxiang County, is where the Japanese 28th Division is located.

Many of these divisions were transferred from the Kwantung Army, which was the main force used by the Japanese to defend against the Soviet Union.

The current deployment of the Japanese is proving that the threat posed by the 88th Army has surpassed that of the Soviet Army currently fighting in the European battlefield.

According to preliminary statistics from the Military Commission, if the Kwantung Army is not included, the number of Japanese troops in the Tang Dynasty has exceeded 300 million.

Of these 300 million, about 120 million are in Central China and South China, about 180 million are in North China, and of these 180 million, 100 million are in Shanxi Province, and the rest are spread across important cities in Hebei Province, Suiyuan and Shandong Province.

Based on his memories of his previous life and his guess about the current situation, Xu Le estimated that, excluding the Japanese native army, the total strength of the Japanese army is at least 500 million, close to 550 million.

Judging from the current speed of mobilization of Japanese troops, there may still be 150 million Japanese troops in their own country.

This means that the total strength of the Japanese army is about 700 million.

If the navy is included, the total strength of the Japanese may be around 750 million to 780 million.

.....

"Young Marshal, the Japanese army has transferred the 1st Division to Xinkou. We are under too much pressure. Do we need to readjust the deployment?"

It was a sunny day with a slight breeze, so Xu Le took Lu Shiyu, Wei Junjun and Zhang Shuping out for a walk.

But this Jiang Feng was such a bummer as he came uninvited.

Xu Le had a gloomy face. There were three beauties behind him, one was playful and cute, one was gentle and elegant, and one was sexy and mature. This was a scene he had never dreamed of in his previous life.

Such a good situation, but everything was gone as soon as I saw Jiang Feng.

"Uncle Jiang, you finally found some time to come out and have some fun, to relax your tense mood. Could you please stop discussing military matters and take in the surrounding scenery?"

Jiang Feng couldn't help but twitch his lips when he heard this. Take some time? Do you still need to take some time?

In a 30-day month, you will be away from headquarters for at least 20 days.

He looked at the three women one by one, and felt a little relieved.

Lu Shiyu is a workaholic. She spends most of her time traveling between Xu Le and the headquarters, and spends very little time with the young commander.

Although Wei Junjun's figure was rarely seen, he knew that he was also a workaholic. He was either at the headquarters or inspecting the bases of various divisions.

Zhang Shuping has been promoted to director of the Finance Department, and is handling the financial situation of more than 10 troops in an orderly manner.

Only his own young commander tried to put all the blame on others. I heard that he recently got a dog and spends the whole day playing with the dog and basking in the sun.

I recently heard that something strange happened in the Health Department. People kept peeping at the young and beautiful nurses taking a bath, and they could also hear dogs barking.

It shouldn't be the young marshal. The young marshal already has these beauties around him, how could he possibly do such a dirty thing!

"Young Marshal, I rarely bother you anymore! But there are some important matters that you need to make the decision on. Our troops have been resting for more than three months. The training of each division is almost completed, and the new division will soon be able to be put into actual combat. Should we plan the next step of the operation? We can't just keep wasting time!"

Wei Junjun didn't seem to be in the mood to play. Seeing Jiang Feng talking like this, he also said: "Young Marshal, I think what Chief of Staff Jiang said makes sense. We should do something. Even if we don't take the initiative to attack, we must do a good job of defense. The Japanese have mobilized so many main forces, so there will definitely be a big move!"

"Hey, Sister Wei, why are you meddling in this? Can't you just look at Sister Cui? She's having so much fun with the young commander. Let's not make things worse, okay?"

Lu Shiyu seemed to want to take this opportunity to relax. She broke off a branch from the roadside and started hitting something aimlessly.

Wei Junjun frowned, crossed his arms over his chest, and those two round and plump things were about to pop out.

He looked at Zhang Shuping who was holding Xu Le's arm in front of him and asked, "What's so good about them?"

Although she pretended not to care, when she said this, she felt a little flutter in her heart, as if something of hers had been stolen.

Lu Shiyu shook her head and said, "Sister Wei, you can't just look at the surface. Don't you know who Sister Cui is? Look, she is talking and laughing with the young commander. They are having so much fun."

"So what?" Jiang Feng asked in confusion.

Lu Shiyu sighed softly and said, "Alas, among all of us, the one who knows the young commander the best is definitely Sister Cui. At this critical moment, she can completely put aside things and play with the young commander. This is a kind of trust, an incomparable trust.

Do you think the young marshal really doesn't care about the army's affairs? It's just that you didn't see it! "

[Chapter 224 was written wrong. Zhang Shuping should have gone to the Finance Department, but it was written as the Intelligence Department! Corrected]
