As soon as the head of the intelligence section left, the chief of staff of the brigade couldn't help but remind: "General, do you think we are paying too much attention to this Li Hao!" ”

"No matter how powerful he is, he is only twenty years old, and even if he starts fighting since he was born, he only has twenty years of experience, but this is obviously impossible, so he thinks that no matter how powerful he is, he can't compare to Your Excellency the General!"

"Also, this Li Hao is only the head of an independent regiment, and he only has the strength of a regiment in his hand, and this regiment has just been expanded, so it must not be much stronger!"

"As long as the imperial army gathers the main force to kill them, they will definitely be able to kill them without leaving a piece of armor!"

"Yaga!"

Seeing that the deputy still had an arrogant and arrogant expression, he didn't pay attention to his previous reminder at all, and the brigade commander scolded directly!

If it weren't for the fact that this deputy had a background, and came here to be the chief of staff just to gild, the brigade commander would have rushed up and slapped him twice to teach him a lesson.

But he held back, he didn't want to offend the huge military forces behind the chief of staff because of his impulsiveness.

You must know that whether you can be promoted from the commander of the brigade of a major general to the commander of a lieutenant general division depends on the forces behind the chief of staff to speak for yourself to a certain extent!

After taking a deep breath to suppress his anger, he replied with a serious face: "I have told you more than once that you can't take the enemy lightly against the Eighth Route Army, especially this independent regiment!" ”

"Don't forget, in two years, Lingqiu has had three captains die in their hands, especially Watanabe, who just died in battle, although he was also Shaozuo when he died in battle, but a few months ago he was still the captain of the field army, if it weren't for this Li Hao, he would now be the captain of the imperial army!"

"With so many excellent Imperial Army commanders stepping on his hands, do you still think this opponent is vulnerable?"

"Chief of Staff, if you can't calm down and study our enemies more, pay attention to them on the battlefield, and become a unit commander in the future, you will definitely suffer a big loss!"

"At that time, not only will you die, but you will also die with thousands of imperial soldiers!"

It's true that he has a background in the military, but after all, the military rank is only Zhongzuo!

To be this chief of staff is not only gilding, but also the meaning of learning!

The brigade commander in front of him is a very experienced veteran, otherwise his father would not have sent himself to work under him to do things and learn!

I have been the chief of staff for a few months, and I have seen a lot of serious expressions on the faces of the brigade commanders, but it is undeniable that the expression in front of me is definitely the most serious I have ever seen.

Immediately put away the arrogance and contempt in his heart, and replied with a serious face: "General, thank you for your teachings, I know that I am wrong!" ”

The brigade commander nodded and replied, "Yo Xi!" ”

"As long as you can not underestimate the enemy, pay attention to the opponent, and with the combat effectiveness and equipment of the imperial army, you can definitely match the enemy on the battlefield in China!"

"In addition, you are the chief of staff of the brigade, and I am not afraid to tell you that this independent regiment is likely to be known by the military department!"

"If nothing else, it won't take long for the military headquarters to strictly order us to eliminate the Independent Regiment, and this battle can only be won and not lost, so what I am doing now is to prepare for the Independence Regiment to be killed in one fell swoop in the future!"

The Japanese military headquarters in Taiyuan City, a discussion related to the independent regiment is also underway!

However, in this discussion, the independent regiment only played a supporting role, and the real protagonists were all the units of the Eighth Route Army operating in Shanxi, especially the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, which had been formed for nearly two years and had taken root in Shanxi.

Seven or eight Japanese officers sat around the conference table, the lowest rank was Dazuo, and the highest was a lieutenant general, all of whom were sitting upright with a serious face!

The lieutenant general on the main seat was the first to speak: "Ladies and gentlemen, the autumn harvest in North China has been almost a month. However, judging from the situation reported by various ministries, our grain collection not only failed to achieve the target, but also fell short by more than half! ”

"You must know that starting this year, the front army will no longer provide us with food, regardless of whether it is a field army or a local garrison, all the military food for the next year will be self-raised in our occupied areas, and a part of the grain will be handed over to the front army!"

"At present, the amount of food collected by the various units is less than one-third of the amount required by the military department, which means that our three main divisions and tens of thousands of local garrison troops, the Imperial Army, will have no military food to eat for two-thirds of the next year, and it is even more impossible to hand over to the front army. Can you tell me what the hell is going on? Do you really want to see tens of thousands of Imperial and Imperial Allies hungry and fighting our enemies! ”

The chief of staff, who was shouldering the rank of major general, immediately said: "Report to the chief, the general staff has made accurate calculations based on the number of ordinary people and the land area of the garrisons in various parts of the occupied area, and there is also the amount of public grain collected in various places for several years during the reign of the Jin Sui Army in Shanxi, so there will definitely not be a situation where there is no grain to collect!" ”

"Humble duty carefully studied the situation reported by various localities and found that in the occupied areas under the complete control of the imperial army, the grain collection has basically been completed!"

"The problem now is the occupied area with the activities of the Eighth Route Army!"

"Although the county seats, important towns and transportation arteries in the occupied areas are all controlled by the imperial army, the vast rural areas where grain is produced have been controlled by the Eighth Route Army, and their so-called base areas have been built to resist the imperial army's grain requisition!"

"In the middle of this, the biggest threat to the imperial army is the Jinchaji base area!"

"The Eighth Route Army has been active there for the longest time, and the troops are also the largest, and the grain collected by the imperial army is less than one-tenth of the total!"

"Although there are also activities of the Eighth Route Army in other occupied areas, in the face of the strong military strength of the Imperial Army, these Eighth Route Armies do not dare to carry it hard with us, so the collection of public grain is quite smooth!"

"Yaga!" The lieutenant general scolded.

"It's the Jinchaji base again, why is it here that is dragging us back every time!"

"Does the intelligence department have any specific information about the Jinchaji base area! Winter is coming soon, and if we send troops to sweep them up now, the cold weather will definitely be the best weapon for the Imperial Army! ”

"Although they are powerful, the troops are too poor and poorly equipped, and they can't even make a winter coat!"

"When the time comes, frostbite alone will cause them a lot of non-combat attrition!"

"Also, the cold weather means that it is impossible for those people who support them to run around with them and hide in the mountains for a long time, and the fortified wall clearing, which the Eighth Route Army is best at, will not be able to continue!"

"Last but not least, launching a large-scale sweep there now will not affect next year's spring ploughing!"

"Sir, wise!"

Several subordinates stood up at the same time and complimented!

After everyone returned to their seats, the chief of the intelligence section, who was shouldering the rank of Dazuo, stood up: "Report to the chief, according to the intelligence, after the autumn harvest, the Jinchaji base area collected a large amount of grain from the common people that should have belonged to the imperial army, and then relied on this grain to start a large-scale expansion of the army!" ”

"Up to now, the total strength of their main force has reached 40,000, and the local troops and guerrillas have a combined strength of nearly 40,000!"

"Although there are a lot of troops, as you just said, sir, their equipment and logistics are very poor!"

"There are many troops where two soldiers share a gun, and there are even many troops that are expanding too fast and are directly equipped with cold weapons such as broadswords and spears!"

"Ammunition is also very scarce, because they have no ammunition production capacity for the time being, all ammunition is captured and purchased on the battlefield, and many army riflemen only have a pitiful five rounds, and there is no comparison with the well-equipped imperial army!"

"The logistics supply is even worse, especially the winter clothes, which are very few, and many troops have directly halved their training because the weather is too cold, and the limited cotton clothes can only ensure that the troops on duty can wear them!"
