Without the support of the Japanese army base camp, Okamura Ninji was disheartened, but this does not mean that he is willing to give up, a great opportunity is in front of him, how can he let go so easily! As long as the Taihang Mountain is uprooted and Liao Fan loses his foothold, they will still be unimpeded in China in the future!

"Help me contact the Kwantung Army headquarters, I'm going to borrow troops from them!"

Okamura Ninji thought about it, since the base camp did not support them, the only thing that could provide them with troop support was the Eastern Army! Moreover, now there are more than 3 million Japanese troops in the northeast, and taking out 100,000 troops will not hurt a single hair for the Kwantung Army.

"Your Excellency Commander, is the Kwantung Army still willing to lend us troops? Last time, because of the attack on Taihang Mountain, the strength of the two divisions of the Kwantung Army was lost, and it is precisely because of this that there is a gap between us and the Kwantung Army headquarters! "The chief of staff of the Japanese army is not optimistic about this borrowing of troops.

First of all, the base camp does not support them to launch an attack on Taihang Mountain, and when this news spreads, I am afraid that only the Japanese army in North China can listen to Okamura Ningji's transfer, and the Japanese troops in other directions will not support Okamura Ningji at all, after all, this is at the risk of being held accountable by the base camp, and those Japanese commanders have climbed to their current position, and they will not hand over their fate to Okamura Ningji at all.

Secondly, the purpose of the Kwantung Army in the northeast was to block the attack of the Soviets, and at the beginning of the battle of Nomenkan, everyone knew that their elite divisions were not the opponents of the Soviet army at all! This time, all the troops of the whole country were transferred to the northeast and belonged to the Kwantung Army, just to prevent them from breaking out into a large-scale battle with the Soviets again! Opposite them was a million-strong Soviet army.

Moreover, they have just spread the news that Taihang Mountain is going to attack the northeast to the headquarters of the Kwantung Army, and the Kwantung Army will definitely be like a great enemy! First of all, they have to face the pressure of the Soviet army, and now they have to guard against Taihang Mountain, and it may be difficult to borrow troops from them at this time.

"Then you tell him that if you don't lend us troops, we won't defend the Pingjin area, and when the time comes, you will directly let Taihang Mountain kill you from Shanhaiguan!" Okamura Ningji was furious, this is not good, that is not good, give a mess to Lao Tzu, and not to Lao Tzu soldiers, Lao Tzu will not do it, see which of you can have a better time.

The chief of staff of the Japanese army was taken aback by Okamura Ninji, it was the first time he had seen Okamura Ninji lose his temper so much!

Okamura Ninji also realized that what he said was too presumptuous, and tried to calm down his mood, and reorganized his own language: "Tell them that if there are no 100,000 troops, even the strength of a division, it can be regarded as my Okamura Ninji begging them!" ”

"Also, notify the troops from other quarters and ask them to send us a little more troops, 12,000!"

Okamura Ninji is really anxious this time, he really wants to wipe Taihang Mountain off the face of the earth, Taihang Mountain blocks his success and fame, and blocks the iron hooves of their Great Japanese Empire, as long as he can win this battle, he will no longer worry about no one to support them, even if their navy fails in the Pacific Theater, they still have the vast Chinese land as their backing.

The chief of staff of the Japanese army had no choice but to obey Okamura Ninji's orders, whether he lent troops or not, only after borrowing him did he know! And this time is indeed the best opportunity for them, if they don't fight out, the final result is to be wiped out by the Chinese! In order not to have the worst outcome, of course the little devil must choose to take the initiative!

However, Okamura Ninji borrowed from the east and west, and finally the troops he got from all over the place were less than the strength of the two divisions, of which more than half of the troops of these two divisions were recruits who had never been on the battlefield, and some soldiers had not even carried guns, and the remaining half had not been on the battlefield twice, and some of them were disabled.

Okamura Ningji looked at these patchwork troops, and smiled bitterly in his heart, the soldiers were indeed borrowed, but are these considered soldiers? The equipment on the whole body does show that they are soldiers, but can these people be useful when they go to war?

"Your Excellency, are we really going to send these soldiers to battle?" The chief of staff of the Japanese army did not care about the lives of these people, but after sending these soldiers to the battlefield, he delayed things for them and dragged them back.

"Arrange officers for them, organize them for training, we still have time, if they are not qualified after a month of training, where will they come from and send them back!"

For Okamura Ningji, they still have time, as long as Taihang Mountain doesn't move, they have time to train these soldiers well!

At this time, not only the Japanese army was training, Taihang Mountain also began a large-scale training of recruits, for Taihang Mountain, it was not difficult for them to recruit soldiers, in just one month, they completed the quota of conscription, and 100,000 recruits began to train in full swing under the leadership of veterans.

"Old Sun, 100,000 soldiers are not enough! We still need soldiers! ”

Liao Fan has generally seen the quality of this year's recruits, and it is indeed better than in previous years, but they are still a long way from real soldiers.

"Huh? Brother Fan, isn't that enough? Our recruiting department broke its leg to do propaganda, then recruit them, and then pull them back for training! ”

"That's not what I said, we still need soldiers!"

Liao Fan had a flash of inspiration in the headquarters that day, and Liao Fan roughly estimated that although 100,000 troops had been re-recruited, they still needed more troops for this plan.

"How much?" Sun Boyong asked.

"You give me another 50,000 soldiers to train secretly, remember, these 50,000 soldiers must be scattered in various places for training, if someone asks, we will say that we will train reserves, not ready to go into the battlefield, and disperse to counties, cities and regions for training, without my order, we can't assemble!"

"Brother Fan, what are you doing here?" Sun Boyong was curious, training 100,000 recruits was to prepare for the attack on the Northeast, but now he had to secretly train 50,000 people, Sun Boyong couldn't understand what Liao Fan was going to sit on.

"Don't ask too much about things, although the training conditions of these 50,000 soldiers are almost and a little later, but we must not lower the requirements, every soldier we train is going to go to the battlefield, if you don't go to the battlefield today, maybe you will go to the battlefield tomorrow, so the people who arrange the training must be serious and responsible!"

No matter what the little devil does, he has to be ready! In case the Japanese army really can't help but make a move, with preparation, he can launch a counterattack at any time!

"Brother Fan, don't worry, when will my Sun Boyong drag you back!" Sun Boyong assured Liao Fan that the task would be completed.

Liao Fan smiled lightly, Sun Boyong can be said to be doing his best since following him, and there has never been a mistake, having such a logistics minister is a very lucky thing for Liao Fan and Taihang Mountain.

"There are also various roads leading to the front line in Taihang Mountain, and people are arranged to walk through them in person, now is not the time for us to resist with our shoulders, when the wheels of the car rely on the good road, once the road is not passed, hundreds of thousands of tons of materials will not be sent to the front line! So be sure to keep the road open! ”

The current Taihang Mountain is no longer the Taihang Mountain of the past, the former Taihang Mountain relied on horse-drawn carts and ox carts to transport materials, and the rest relied on shoulders and legs! Now there are enough trucks in Taihang Mountain, although trucks cannot guarantee that every unit has them, but the trucks of the logistics department must be guaranteed, and logistics is the guarantee for the soldiers to fight.

"Okay, I'll arrange it, but...... Do the logistics of troops going to the Northeast also use trucks? ”

"Of course, if there are not enough trucks, requisition ox carts and wagons to transport them to the railway station, and then by train to the front! I'll let someone build a supply depot in advance! ”

Wherever the war goes, the supply depot will be built, no matter which unit is inseparable from the supply of logistics, once it is separated from the later stage, either a small group of troops will go deep behind the enemy, or it will be surrounded and waiting for death!

"Brother Fan, all the people who were arranged by the command have returned!" Huai Yuanliang informed Liao Fan.

At the beginning, Liao Fan arranged most of the people in the headquarters out, and they had a map for each person, the purpose was to figure out the local terrain! In so many places, Liao Fan couldn't run away with a broken leg by himself, so he could only rely on scouts as his eyes and figure out the terrain so that he could better fight the Japanese army.

"Old Sun, the matter will be handed over to you, we will command!"

After Liao Fan returned to the headquarters, there was already a stack of maps on the table, and Liao Fan glanced at about eighty or ninety maps of various sizes!

"Okay, you guys have worked hard this time, I'll see how you get this map first!"

These maps involve seven cities and more than 30 counties, and each map is marked with specific numbers, and even the elevation of each mountain is clearly marked!

Liao Fan looked at the maps with satisfaction, these maps not only have military value, but also the hard-earned work of their commanders and officers!

"Brother Fan, we don't work hard, it's those scouts who work hard, they run around the place day and night, so they can draw the map so finely!"

"Okay, I can't control them, I'll give each of you a day off and have a good rest, but okay, your range of activities is limited to Taihang Mountain, once there is something to ensure that I can find you!"

"Brother Fan, isn't this equivalent to not giving us a holiday?" Shao Guangqi said resentfully.

"What's the matter, disgusted? Okay...... Cancel ......"

"Don't don't, Brother Fan, I'm not disgusted, it's good, it's really good, we're all very happy!"

Shao Guangqi saw that Liao Fan's face changed, and he knew that Liao Fan was afraid that he would take back this day's vacation, so he hurriedly stepped forward to stop Liao Fan.
