Liu Yimin was overjoyed when he received the information on the deployment of the Japanese troops in North China sent by Wang Dongqiang, and immediately ordered the deputy directors of the General Staff Office, Feng Feng and Zhu Zhexiao, to mark the deployment of the Japanese troops on the map and report it to the headquarters.

**Feng and Zhu Zhexiao were busy for two hours before marking the deployment of the Japanese army in North China on the map. Liu Yimin impatiently moved a chair and sat in front of the map to ponder.

As long as the commander sits in front of the map and ponders, the little devil is doomed to bad luck. This is the law, and the comrades in the command know it.

Command, Riden, fell silent.

Luo Ronghuan came over to take a look, and saw that Liu Yimin was meditating on the map, so he asked Li Xiaoshuai to send two packs of cigarettes and strong tea to the commander, so as not to disturb him.

Liu Yimin drank tea and smoked cigarettes, his eyes staring at the map, and his mind kept churning.

Now the situation on the battlefield in the entire Kannai is roughly clear.

On the Shandong battlefield, in order to cover the expansion of the main force for military reorganization and training, and to carry out large-scale production campaigns in the base areas, various small units of the Special Operations Command launched a special guerrilla war against the Japanese army throughout Shandong. Although it was a small army attack, every blow hit the vital point of the little devil, and the results and battle loss ratio were amazing! Moreover, the special operations squad did not have the task of sticking to a certain point, its whereabouts were erratic, and it was covered by tunnel nets, and the little devils in various localities could not find out who was beating them after being beaten; as time went on, the psychology of fear and eagerness for revenge became heavier and heavier, and it was bound to mess up the rules and regulations and provide our army with fighter planes.

After the main force of the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi completed the anti-stubborn campaign, it did not have time to rest, so it engaged in the battle to restore the base area, and was inseparable from the Japanese First Army and the Japanese army stationed in Mongolia.

After repelling Chiang Kai-shek's attack on Shaanxi, the troops left behind by the Eighth Route Army in Shaanxi and the troops that were withdrawn from the Shanxi battlefield to reinforce Shaanxi were licking their wounds to rest and replenish, while hurrying to deploy the eastern, western, southern, and northern defensive lines. The Japanese army wanted to fight the Eighth Route Army, Chiang Kai-shek also wanted to fight the Eighth Route Army, and the Japanese army wanted to cross the Yellow River, Chiang Kai-shek not only seized northern Sichuan and Longdong, but also deployed a large army around Shaanxi, and he could engage in military adventures again at any time.

In addition to the Japanese army in North China and the puppet army commanded by the Mongolian army to sweep our base areas in Jinchaji, Jinsui, Taihang, and Jinzhong, the Japanese army on the North China Plain and the 12th Army stationed in Shandong were busy building railways and highways, building blockade line fortifications, and capturing the puppet army to expand the puppet army.

After the Japanese army in South China recaptured the Kunlun Pass, the main force retreated, the 18th Division was transferred back to Guangzhou, and the 6th Division returned to Central China. The Japanese army revoked the number of the 21st Army and reorganized the 5th Division, the 1st Guards Division, and the Taiwan Mixed Brigade into the 22nd Army, with Lieutenant General Konashi as commander and Major General Wakamatsu as chief of staff.

There are no problems in these aspects, and the Japanese army will not be able to make any name for a while. The only thing that worried Liu Yimin was the Central China side, because in history, the Japanese army was about to launch the Battle of Zaoyi at this time.

As a traverser, the advantage is to know the direction of history, and the disadvantage is to add a lot of troubles because of knowing the direction of history. Like now, none of the other generals of the Eighth Route Army knew that the Japanese army was going to launch the Battle of Zaoyi, so they didn't have to worry about it. What's more, Chiang Kai-shek has just finished the first ****?

Liu Yimin is different, because he is a traverser, he clearly knows the historical trajectory, and he is bent on using his foresight to make up for the shortcomings of history, strive to defeat the little devil as soon as possible, and reduce the losses brought by the war to China. As soon as he sat down in front of the map, his heart flew far and wide, pondering the matter of the battle of Zaoyi.

Although Chiang Kai-shek waved his troops to take away northern Sichuan and Longdong, although Chiang Kai-shek let the troops of the Jicha Theater attack the Taihang base area, and although Chiang Kai-shek and his family detained Ni Hua's mother and daughter and caused Liu Yimin to separate his flesh and blood, Liu Yimin was still concerned about the battle of Zaoyi. No way, who made him Chinese?

Due to the deterioration of relations between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, the situation in Central China was the same as that of the Battle of Guinan, and the Supreme Command did not inform the Eighteenth Army, let alone ask the Counselor of the Eighteenth Army to plan and make suggestions. This situation is very different from the battles of Xuzhou and Wuhan.

Thinking that he drove out the drunken communication and liaison group, he could not directly contact Chiang Kai-shek, and I don't know if this supreme commander of China would still deploy the Battle of Zaoyi as in history. If that's the case, the squadron will suffer a big loss this time!

In the Battle of Zaoyi in history, the Japanese army fought remarkably well with limited troops, severely damaged the main force of the Fifth Theater and captured Yichang. General Zhang Zizhong, commander-in-chief of the 33rd Group Army, was martyred, becoming the highest-ranking general among the fallen officers of the anti-fascist front during World War II. Since then, the Fifth War Zone has suffered a great loss of vitality, and it has completely lost the prestige of the Taierzhuang War.

The reason why Liu Yimin is worried that the ** team will suffer a big loss in the upcoming battle of Zaoyi is because history has changed.

Historically, at the beginning of 1937, the Japanese army formulated a plan for the reorganization of the army with the Soviet Union and the United States as imaginary enemies, and was ready to expand the army to 40 divisions with 2.4 billion yen. Later, due to the outbreak of the 77 Incident, this plan failed. By the end of the Battle of Wuhan, the Japanese army had set the goal of completing the rearmament of the 65 divisions and 164 squadrons of the Army Air Corps by 1942. However, because the war against China was mired in a quagmire, military spending was too huge, two-thirds of Japan's gold reserves were consumed, and its finances had reached a critical point, the Japanese cabinet had no choice but to repeatedly exert pressure on the military department to reduce the number of troops stationed in China. As a result of the negotiations between the two sides, the garrison in Kannai was reduced to 750,000 in 1940. As a result, some permanent divisions and regiments that had been on the battlefield against China for a long time were withdrawn back to Japan for recuperation, and several ad hoc divisions and regiments were withdrawn back to Japan to revoke their numbers and demobilize. For example, the 16th and 9th Divisions of the 11th Army were transferred back to Japan for rest, and the 101st and 106th Divisions were transferred back to Japan to revoke their numbers and demobilize. They were replaced by the 33rd Division, the 34th Division, the 39th Division, and the 40th Regiment.

The current situation is very different, because the squadron is much better than the one fought in history, it is impossible for the Japanese army to withdraw the permanent divisions back to Japan for rest and recuperation, demobilization, but on the contrary, it is constantly expanding the army. At present, in addition to the transfer of the 9th Division to North China, the 11th Army also has four permanent divisions, the 3rd Division, the 6th Division, the 13th Division, and the 16th Division, and the 101st and 106th Divisions have not returned to China for demobilization.

Thinking of this, Liu Yimin suddenly remembered that the current Japanese army is much more shameless than in history. Obviously, one of their divisions was wiped out and the division commander was killed, but as long as the Japanese army's division and regimental flags were not captured, the Japanese army would cover their faces and tell nonsense, and they would not admit their accounts, and they would immediately rebuild the division. The 10th Division has already been rebuilt once, will the Japanese army rebuild it again? The 35th Division was also rebuilt, as was the 1st Independent Mixed Brigade. Also, the main force of the 38th Division in southwest Lu was annihilated, where did the rest of the troops go? Could it be that he was transferred to Guangzhou, as in history? If the 38th Division had been transferred to Guangzhou and reorganized on the spot, it would not be long before it would have been a complete division again, and perhaps in the future, when the Japanese army captured Hong Kong, the 38th Division, which had been annihilated, would be the main force!

From the 38th Division, Liu Yimin also thought of the 27th Division, whose main forces were wiped out in the Battle of Chinese New Year's Eve, and that the Japanese army held a press conference and hyped it up in newspapers and radios, wantonly concealing its defeats and refusing to admit the fact that the main forces of the 27th Division had been annihilated. Needless to say, this division is also to be rebuilt. It's just that the map of the Japanese army in North China brought by Wang Dongqiang still shows that the 27th Division of the Japanese Army is stationed in Jining, Yanzhou, Surabaya, and Qufu, which is the same as the garrison of the 2nd Guards Division.

Thinking of this, Liu Yimin suddenly felt that there was a great mistake in the content of the history textbooks he studied in later generations, and he only talked about the lack of Japanese troops, but did not say that Japan was an overpopulated country in history, and he was bent on foreign expansion and immigration. They do not lack soldiers at all, they lack weapons and equipment that are limited by resources. Moreover, Japan now occupies Korea, Northeast China, and Taiwan, and it is entirely possible to recruit soldiers from these areas and mix with the Japanese army if necessary. In fact, both in history and in the present, the Japanese army has done this.

The reason why the Japanese army did not have enough troops to invade China in history was not that the Japanese army did not have so many soldiers to mobilize, but that there were other reasons.

Needless to say, for financial reasons, Japan is not a dictatorship in the true sense of the word, and neither Emperor Hirohito, nor Fumima Konoe, nor Hideki Tojo, nor the future Hideki Tojo, did not have Hitler's dictatorship. Once the military spending is too large, the chaebols are reluctant to do so, which will force the cabinet to reduce the military at some stage and reduce the financial pressure.

The second reason is that before the Pacific War, the Japanese army had always followed the route of elite troops, and by taking advantage of its superior maritime capacity, it could put elite divisions and regiments on the battlefields needed at any time, thus greatly improving the efficiency of the use of field divisions and regiments. Like the 5th and 6th Divisions of the Japanese Army, they have been to almost every battlefield. After the battle, they will even return to China to recuperate.

The third reason should be that the Japanese army has never really regarded the squadron as an equal opponent in history, and when designing the campaign plan, it generally uses one wing to deploy troops to one division of China, such as the Battle of Changsha, the Japanese army's battle plan even uses one brigade to deploy troops to one division of China. The imaginary enemies of the Japanese army have always been the Soviet Union and the United States, and even the British ** team they can't look down on. Even in the Soviet Union, how much troops did the Japanese army use during the Normenhan incident in history? There was only one twenty-three division in the full division. The little devils thought that their troops had a high level of shooting, stabbing skills, and bomb throwing skills, and their style of work was tenacious, and they didn't see the Soviet army at all, which led to a big defeat. If the Japanese army had done its best as the Soviet Union did, I am afraid that the historical Normenkhim incident would have to be rewritten.

It is precisely because of these three reasons that in the second half of 1939, when the Japanese army was still in a state of stalemate on the battlefield of aggression against China, it still had the spare strength to transfer the permanent divisions and regiments back to China for rest and recuperation, and to transfer most of the special divisions and regiments back to China to revoke their numbers and demobilize. Moreover, such a huge Kwantung Army actually stayed in the northeast, on the one hand, to prepare for war against the Soviet Union, and on the other hand, the Japanese believed that the Chinese army would be enough to defeat China, and there was no need to use the Kwantung Army. Only then did the Japanese army have the spare strength to wage the Pacific War. Assuming that the Japanese army does not do this, but continues to strengthen its troops in China, and the Kwantung Army moves southward again, I am afraid that the Chinese War of Resistance in history will be even more difficult.

After figuring out this truth, Liu Yimin couldn't help but put a smile on his face, because of his birth, the little devils suffered successive defeats, and the brigades and divisions were wiped out, and the ghosts who died in battle were probably already crowded with the Yasukuni Shrine. Look, until now, the little devils have not been willing to let a division return to China for demobilization, and they are all struggling on the battlefield! Moreover, the main forces of the Kwantung Army had already gone south several times to participate in the war, and the 11th, 12th, 28th, and 29th divisions remained in the North China battlefield and became garrisons. Including the arrogant Ninth Division, don't you have to be an honest railway garrison now?

After laughing, Liu Yimin thought that if the Japanese Eleventh Army was confined to the heavy blow suffered in the First Battle of Changsha and delayed the launch of the Battle of Zaoyi, then the current Chinese battlefield would temporarily have a situation in which the two armies were stalemate. Because after the end of the winter offensive in the 3rd, 9th, and 5th theaters, they also formed a confrontation with the Japanese 11th and 13th armies.

Liu Yimin stood up from the map and paced back and forth in the room, thinking about whether the Japanese Eleventh Army would launch the Battle of Zaoyi according to the time in history, and whether it would be deployed like in history. If the Japanese army were deployed as it had historically been, what should the Fifth Theater of Operations do to win, or reduce losses?

Tang Xingying was spinning thread in the yard, after a long time, tired, got up and wanted to drink saliva and rest. When I walked by the door of Liu Yimin's office, I saw him pacing with a cigarette, frowning for a while, and smirking on his face for a while, so I knew that he was thinking about the problem again.

Tang Xingying didn't want to bother him, but she still felt sorry for the man, although this man is now her ex-husband.

Tang Xingying returned to her residence, drank water in the tank, sat on the edge of the bed and rested for a while, then took out the tea box, poured tea leaves into the tea tank, and went to take out the sugar, dug up two spoonfuls of white sugar and put it into the tea jar, then poured water, held the tea jar, and walked towards Liu Yimin's office gracefully.

Drinking the sweet, thick white sugar tea water, looking at Tang Xingying with a flower turban on his head and a flower apron around his waist in front of him, Liu Yimin snorted and smiled.

Tang Xingying's beautiful eyes flashed, and the pink fist hit Liu Yimin: "Don't laugh!" Laugh at you again! ”

This is purely the ** of a small couple!

Liu Yimin put down the teapot and reached out to hug Tang Xingying, only to hear a chuckle, Tang Xingying dodged and ran away.

Looking at Tang Xingying's pretty back, Liu Yimin swallowed his saliva, shook his head, and sat honestly in front of the map again.

Carefully examining the map, Liu Yimin felt that if the Japanese Eleventh Army launched the Battle of Zaoyi, it would be like sending him to death. The reason is very simple: Although the Japanese 11th Army is a strategic offensive force, it also undertakes the task of garrisoning, and if they concentrate all their efforts on attacking the Fifth Theater, it will be tantamount to selling their backs to the Ninth and Third Theaters, and in the end they can only end up in disregard.

If it is his main force in Shandong on the periphery of Wuhan, he will definitely take advantage of the situation to capture Wuhan and end the nest of the Eleventh Army!

As soon as he thought of this thought, Liu Yimin regretted it. I am still a master's student who studied military affairs in later generations, why did I forget this section? Knowing this, after capturing Shimen, he should have led the 1st Brigade and the Cavalry Brigade to Shanxi, crossed the river from Shanxi to the south, and entered Hubei to hide and wait. Without tanks, automobiles, and armored vehicles, the 1st Brigade, the Cavalry Brigade, and the Special Combat Team could seize Wuhan in one fell swoop and dry the main force of the 11th Army on the Jianghan Plain. No matter how strong its combat effectiveness is, it will be difficult to recapture the three towns of Wuhan that were held by the cavalry brigade and the first brigade. At that time, the troops of the **9th, 5th, 3rd, and 1st theaters that have won and not lost will pounce on them like wolves under Chiang Kai-shek's strict orders, and it is likely that the main force of the 11th Army will be gathered around Wuhan. As long as the main force of the 11th Army is eliminated, the situation on the battlefield in Central China will be turned upside down in an instant.

It's too late to say anything now, and you can't fly to the battlefield of Zaoyi with your wings!

Liu Yimin knew that Chiang Kai-shek did not lack strategic vision, and He Yingqin, Bai Chongxi, and Chen Cheng around him were not weak, so he could naturally see the weakness of the rear after the Japanese 11th Army launched an attack, and he would inevitably order the Ninth and Third Theaters to launch offensive operations to contain the Japanese army and respond to the Fifth Theater. The question is, whether it is Gu Zhutong or Xue Yue, who would be willing to add bricks and tiles to Li Zongren's credit? They may follow orders to attack, but God only knows how much force to commit and to what extent.

This is the inferior nature of **!

Liu Yimin, who was full of regret, felt that since he gained a firm foothold in Shandong, he had been thinking about how to build a base area, and rarely fought such a wonderful battle as the attack on Tianjin. That kind of battle was fought in a place where neither of us nor the enemy could have imagined, with large captures and small casualties, and the degree of damage to the Japanese army was high. It's a classic of the classics.

It's not good to always bury your head in building a base in central and southern Lu, and after a long time, it is equivalent to letting the little devils trap their main forces in this central and southern Lu region, so they can let go of their hands and feet to attack other regions. After the little devils have completed their main strategic offensive tasks, they will turn back and carry out a heavy group sweep against Lu Zhongnan. No matter how much you build it yourself, you can't withstand the bombing of little devil planes and artillery!

It seems that this guy Tada Jun has thought of a plan and deliberately set up a blockade ring around Lu Zhongnan to tie his hands and feet. Next, he will show his strength and make waves in North China!

Liu Yimin couldn't sit still, and stood up again and wandered around the room.
