Draw the sword and cure the fear of insufficient firepower

"Nan Rijun, you see, the discrimination chain in the Chinese army is like this. Jiang's direct lineage looks down on other central armies, the central army looks down on local armies, and everyone in the local army looks down on the Sichuan Army! The Sichuan Army has always been at the bottom of the Chinese army in terms of combat effectiveness, and the commanders of the major war zones don't want the Sichuan Army!"

"I heard that the Chinese army is commanded by the general himself this time, so these three lines of defense are very interesting!"

"The first line of defense is the Sichuan Army. They obviously want to use the Sichuan Army as artillery fire to test the strength, firepower configuration, and tactical arrangements of the Locust Army!"

"The second line of defense is the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army. The Shanxi-Suiyuan Army was crippled by the Locust Army last time and was seriously injured. Placing them in the second line of defense can not only allow them to directly withstand the attacks of the Locust Army, but also can be said to be Chiang Kai-shek taking care of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army. No matter how many casualties the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army suffers in this battle, no one can find fault with Chiang Kai-shek!"

"The Central Army has long wanted to annex Shanxi Province, but has never had the opportunity. If the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army is severely damaged by the Locust Army again, they will not have the strength to compete with the Central Army, and Shanxi Province will gradually be controlled by the Central Army!"

"The third line of defense is led by Jiang's favorite general Song. The Central Army is the most powerful and best-equipped unit in the Chinese army, but such a unit is arranged on the last line of defense. Instead, it is the Sichuan Army with the worst equipment that bears the strongest blow from the Locust Army!"

"This is clearly Chiang's attempt to weaken the country in the name of fighting the Japanese!"

"Just watch. The Central Army still wants to preserve its strength. They will only sit back and watch the Sichuan Army, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and the Locust Army consume their strength. They will not send troops to support them. If the two front lines of defense are occupied by the Locust Army, they may retreat directly, exposing the First Division of the Eighth Route Army in Taiyuan to the offensive of the Locust Army!"

"In this way, they can use the locust army to destroy the most elite and powerful division of the Eighth Route Army!"

Kazuharu Furukawa had a proud look on his face. He made comments on the map with his white-gloved fingers and analyzed them one by one.

This is the confidence of Kazuharu Furukawa. It is the confidence that enables him to face the Chinese army with more than 600,000 troops with ease when facing them!

He was confident that the Central Army would not really fight the Locust Army, and that he would win this battle smoothly.

The only difficulty was the First Division. At the pre-war meeting, Okamura Neiji repeatedly warned the troops not to underestimate the enemy, as the strength of the First Division of the Eighth Route Army was beyond imagination.

Kazuharu Furukawa had heard of the great name of the First Division and naturally attached great importance to it.

But he was confident. Could it be that his army of one hundred thousand could not defeat the enemy's few thousand people?

Even if the weapons of one division advance further, facing an army of 100,000, they can still win even at the cost of human lives!

This battle will make Furukawa Ichiji the capital of the general of Jin Province!

"Sweeping Snai! So that's how it is, so that's how it is! It's really amazing!"

"General, your analysis is so clear and every word is so insightful!"

"I suddenly understand! Your Excellency the General is worthy of being called Your Excellency the General!"

"I would like to thank you for your teachings, General! I will never forget it!!"

After listening to Furukawa Kazuharu's words, Minamiichi Daiwo's originally slightly cloudy eyes suddenly became clear, his inverted triangle eyes shot out a gleam of light, and he clapped his hands in joy, as if he had suddenly realized something.

"Hahahaha! Nanri-kun! You still have a lot to learn from this general. When you are more capable, I will ask the headquarters to let you lead an entire division on your own!"

Kazuharu Furukawa patted Minamiichi Daigo's shoulder and laughed. He was very satisfied with his expression, which greatly satisfied his sense of superiority and accomplishment in teaching his subordinates.

Without saying anything else, let’s draw the pie first.

It had been heard a long time ago that General Okamura Yasuji was going to be transferred. Furukawa Kazuharu had been coveting this commander-in-chief of the North China Front Army for a long time and seemed to have him under his control.

At this time, you should cultivate your own confidants in advance.

As for Nan Ridawo, he has good abilities and intelligence, and can be regarded as my confidant.

Minamiichi Daigo kept complaining in his heart. Although Furukawa Kazuharu's analysis was very accurate, anyone with a discerning eye could see that. It was just that Furukawa Kazuharu was the commander, so no one else had the qualifications to speak.

But, since Kazuharu Furukawa is his immediate superior, he might as well just have fun with his boss.

"Yoshi! In that case, let's first use a powerful offensive to defeat the Sichuan Army and make the Central Army more afraid of the Locust Army! It would be best if the Central Army retreated!"

"Then we will encircle the two wings and annihilate the main force of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, accelerating its disintegration!"

"Finally, we will gather our superior forces, capture Taiyuan, and annihilate the First Division of the Eighth Route Army!"

"Jin Province will be occupied by this general. By then, I will be the brightest star of the Locust Army!"

Kazuharu Furukawa laughed loudly towards the sky, and a simple battle plan had already formed in his mind.

"Hahaha, the general is indeed a general. I am looking forward to drinking your promotion wine as soon as possible!" Nanri Dayo nodded repeatedly and flattered him.

In fact, Furukawa Kazuharu's battle plan is very feasible, and I can see that from Minami-Nichi University.

Although Kazuharu Furukawa was a bit cocky, he still had some ability, otherwise he would not have been chosen by General Okamura Yasuji to command an army of 100,000.

"Yoshi! Order the vanguard troops to continue attacking the Sichuan Army's defense line! After tearing open a gap, use a point to break through the surface and quickly expand the gap! Follow-up troops quickly follow up! Break through the first line of defense of the Chinese army in one fell swoop!"

"Order! The artillery units concentrate their superior firepower and continue bombarding the Sichuan Army positions!"

"Order! The bomber formation takes off and focuses on attacking the heavily defended areas of the Sichuan Army to create opportunities for the ground forces!"

"The locust army will win! The locust army will be crushed!"

Kazuharu Furukawa tightened the white gloves on his hands and gave orders while looking at the map.

"Hai!"

Nanri Dawo quickly stood at attention, slammed his leather boots on his feet, and bowed deeply.

……

Taiyuan.

Lin Tianzheng convened a military meeting of cadres to discuss how to deal with the Japanese invasion.

"Report to the commander, Commander Fu wants to see you!" the messenger reported.

"Oh? Did Commander Fu say what it was about?" Lin Tian asked.

"Reporting to the commander, Commander Fu just said that he missed you very much after we last met. This time he happened to be leading the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army to stop the Japanese invaders, so he took this opportunity to visit you!" the messenger reported.

"Commander, I don't think Commander Fu has the time to do this. The scouts report that the Japanese have already launched several waves of tentative attacks. As the commander of the second line of defense, how could Commander Fu have the time to travel 160 kilometers back and forth to reminisce with you when a war is imminent? I think he has other intentions!" Fang Zheng said.

Lin Tian was very interested in Fang Zheng's words and asked, "Then tell me, what is Commander Fu here for?"
