Chapter 416: A Thousand Troops Are Easy to Find, but One General Is Hard to Find

Changchun. Marshal's Mansion.

Feng Yong confidently looked at Zhen Zhen's battle plan, and then continued to deduce on the sand table.

"Young Marshal, although Commander Zhenzhen's battle plan is good, it is in the situation that the troops are superior and can put pressure on the enemy. But now the Northeast Army does not have an advantage in the strength of the southern battlefield, and with this method of operation, it is easy for the enemy to break through each one! Li Yang couldn't understand Zhenzhen's battle plan, because it was too risky and obviously immature. The fact that such a battle plan appeared in the hands of Zhen Zhen, who was known for his calmness, was really incomprehensible.

"What is the opinion of the Southern Military District? What about Zhenzhen's attitude? Feng Yong raised his head and said.

The Southern Military Region also did not understand this operational plan, but Commander Zhen Zhen's opinion was very firm, and he said that this operational plan was a high-intensity guerrilla warfare with high demands on the troops' athletic ability. And the Northeast Army, which has a glorious tradition of long-distance raids, is competent. Li Yang said carefully.

"Athletic guerrilla warfare?" Feng Yong's brows furrowed.

"It's too risky!" Feng Yong said in a low voice.

"Yes! Since our army has already achieved a comprehensive victory in the southeastern battlefield, it is not as strong as it has been on the southern battlefield. I think that we can use the method of gradual eviction to reduce the living space of the Japanese army in the south and recover the land little by little. Li Yang suggested.

Feng Yong thought for a while and said, "No, Zhen Zhen's decision is correct, the south needs a decisive victory." Although we won the victory in the southeastern battlefield, the Korean army was completely disabled. But what we should see is that we are inferior to the Japanese compared to the war potential. Our reserve system is not complete, and the forces that can be mobilized in the rear cannot be compared with the Japanese. In this case, we can only defeat the Japanese army in the form of a hard confrontation, so that they will be afraid of us and dare not expand the scale of the war. We have won the battlefield in the southeast. But our elite troops also suffered heavy losses, and the rest of the troops were in dire need of rest. Moreover, the finances of our northeastern region are becoming more and more empty, and the war potential is depleted, and these things cannot be concealed. I think that with the intelligence capabilities of the Japanese in Tohoku, it will not be difficult to collect this information. In addition, Japan has a strong sense of honor and disgrace. Japan relied on the Russo-Japanese War to ascend to the status of a world-class power, it was the time of the spring breeze, and the war with the Northeast was originally considered a one-sided slaughter, and now our Northeast military victory slapped them hard, and little Japan was annoyed and angry. It is also normal to be jealous of the combat effectiveness of the Northeast Army, but it is unrealistic to say that the Japanese are afraid of the Northeast Army. At this time, only when we are tougher and win one glorious victory after another on the battlefield will the Japanese become more jealous of China, and then they will be afraid of China. Only then will we have time to break the deadlock in East Asia and achieve peaceful development once and for all. ”

Feng Yong has a clear understanding of the situation in East Asia. The Northeast has just risen, barely a big force, and Japan has just come out of the shadow of the Russo-Japanese War, and it is the time when the scenery is infinite. Neither side was prepared for war. But in the future, due to geopolitical and historical reasons, it will be difficult for the two sides to cooperate and they can only become competitors. Japan, which is rampant with militaristic ideology, is most likely to take the means of completely eradicating the hidden dangers in the future. At the same time, Japan also has the goal of making an example of the monkey and consolidating its position as the number one power in Asia. And if the Northeast wants to survive in peace, it must win this war. Both sides have reasons why they cannot lose, so they can only decide the winner from the battlefield.

"Young Marshal, with the strength of the Southern Military District, there is also a great possibility of success in a frontal hard resistance. In addition, our army has already won a decisive victory in the southeastern theater. We can transfer a part of our troops from the southeastern front to the southern military region to strengthen the combat effectiveness of the southern military region, so that we can also drive Japan out of the northeast with great strength. Why take such a risk. Li Yang asked puzzled.

"War is not taken for granted, the Japanese are not fools, and will not tolerate our arbitrary transfer of troops. In addition, now that the three divisions of the Japanese army are converging in Korea, they may pounce on the front line of the Yalu River at any time, and under such circumstances, the troops of the Southeast Military Region cannot move, at least not in the short term. Feng Yong said firmly.

"Young marshal, what should I do then?"

"Send electricity to the headquarters of the Liaodong Theater of Operations and the command of the Southern Military District. Agree to this battle plan in my name. He also delegated all the power to implement the plan to the commander of the Southern Military Region, Zhen Zhen, and all the troops and departments of the Northeast Army needed by the wolf pack plan must be unconditionally obeyed. Feng Yong had already paid attention and decided to believe Zhenzhen.

"Young marshal......" Li Yang still wanted to persuade.

"A thousand armies are easy to get, but one will be hard to find! For the sake of the handsome talents that may appear in the Northeast, this young marshal is willing to use tens of thousands of troops to make a bet. Feng Yong said in a deep voice.

Feng Yong does have his own preferences when employing people, and he prefers the studious Lin Hu, the brave Liu Hei, and the loyal Guo Shanhu. The fierce generals in the army also have a lot of good feelings and cultivation. But this does not mean that Feng Yong does not pay attention to the cultivation of handsome talents, whether a force army is strong or not has something to do with whether this army has qualified handsome talents. Of course, Feng Yong coveted those famous generals and marshals of the Celestial Dynasty in later generations, but although the Northeast Army created by Feng Yong was strong, its reputation was too bad. As Feng Yong, who stood on the opposite side of the landlord class, unless it was within his rule, he was portrayed as a man-eating demon outside. Even in some places where the mind is ignorant, Feng Yong is called Feng Laohu, a demon who eats people and does not spit out bones, and has the effect of stopping children's crying. In this case, the kind of domineering spirit that Feng Yong was looking forward to, and the scene of the Quartet's heroes coming to vote could only appear in a dream. In addition to the famous generals and handsomes who have left their names in history, some of them are still little dolls, and which one does not have his own firm beliefs, Feng Yong has no confidence in the ruling party of the Celestial Empire in his previous life to snatch talents. If he was not careful, the Northeast Army, which he single-handedly founded, would become the breeding ground for the revolutionary forces. Later generations told him how terrible the infiltration and counter-infiltration of the two political parties with profound influence in China were, and truly reached the point where I have you and you have me. Therefore, compared to searching, Feng Yong is more inclined to cultivate by himself. After all, those revolutionary veterans and veterans also meet by chance, and the times create heroes. He Feng Yong now has this condition, and he may not be able to create a few handsome people who can be useful. And Zhang Xiaoshan and Zhen Zhen are the people he values the most.

Southern Theater.

This battle is very stressful for Zhenzhen. Originally, Jiang Baili did not agree with his battle plan, because it was too novel, and there had never been a successful case since ancient times. But Feng Yong personally made a decision and agreed with Zhen Zhen's battle plan. Jiang Baili could only choose to cooperate. After all, Zhen Zhen's battle plan has merit in addition to the almost harsh requirements for the mobility of the troops. At the very least, this type of attack, which has never been seen in the history of domestic and foreign wars, may be able to achieve unexpected results.

"Commander, I just received a telegram from the front that the first division of the Japanese army has begun to retreat!" Qian Zhuangfei took the telegram and said loudly.

"Retreat? Is it a little late to run now? Zhen Zhen said with a smile.

"Send electricity to the ministries, and the wolf pack operation begins now!"

The command of the First Army of the Japanese Army.

The moment the regimental commander General Yasudo Sadami received the order to retreat, his face became extremely gloomy.

"What the hell do those bastards in the military department think, what a loss the Imperial Japanese Army suffered by being so arrogant, and now they let us flee without a fight. How unreasonable! Admiral Anton Sadami roared waving the telegram in his hand.

"Your Excellency General, the military department is also just in case, and the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army cannot be underestimated. The empire mobilized three elite divisions to join the Korean war, and our combat mission was to contain the opposing Chinese army and prevent them from reinforcing the Yalu River battlefield. What's more, retreating to Lushun is not necessarily a bad thing, we can rely on Lushun as the foundation to gradually encroach on the land in the Northeast and expand the territory of Jinzhou. The Empire is not waging this war in this situation for the sake of expanding its territory, so there is nothing wrong with expanding its territory so smoothly. Lieutenant General Shigeyuki Nitahara, chief of staff of the First Army, said indifferently. Not all officers within the Japanese army were warmongering. Lieutenant General Xiang Tajiyuki Nitohara opposed the rush to make a rash move. Always adhere to the steady and steady, devouring the land of the Northeast first.

"Yaga! Don't peddle your theory of gradual cannibalization in front of me. The army advocates offense. Now go and make a battle plan, and when the army retreats to the Lushun line, you will start to implement it. Since it is impossible to overthrow the Shina regime in a short period of time, it is necessary to expand the territory of Jinju as much as possible. If the Chinese army dares to resist, it can just wipe them out. As she spoke, a sinister smile appeared on Admiral Anton's face.

"Don't worry, Your Excellency General, I have already thought of the battle plan, and when I arrive in Lushun, I will hand you a complete document." Regarding the scolding of General Anton Sadami, Lieutenant General Nishiwahara Shigeyuki did not care at all. After all, Anton Sadami is his old superior, and he has a clear understanding of his temperament and temperament, and he has long been used to it.

"Where are the troops of the 10th Division?" When it came to the 10th Division, General Anton Sadami's expression changed not good-looking. The 10th Division can be said to be a disgrace to the entire First Army. Originally, the combat order of the 10th Division was to move west to Jinzhou to the line of Shanhaiguan and cut off the connection between the northeast and the Guannai. So that the Japanese army could concentrate its forces and wipe out the main force of the Northeast Army in the black soil of the three eastern provinces. Unfortunately, because of the light enemy, the 10th Division was attacked by the Northeast Army at night before it arrived at Jinzhou, and the army suffered heavy losses, even after urgent replenishment, there are only more than 10,000 people at present. It can be said that it was this night raid that made the empire lose face. The commander of the 10th Division, Lieutenant General Tsunade Mori, was also implicated and brought back to the country by the gendarmerie, and his best fate was to transfer to the reserves. In this life, I will never have the opportunity to lead troops to fight.
