Chapter 130: Playing an empty city plan with the Kwantung Army

As the chief of staff, Wu Zhongguo's duties were not only responsible for managing all the chores of all the 99th Army, but also for helping Su Dao formulate combat plans of all sizes, but not every plan he formulated would be adopted by Su Dao.

In fact, to put it bluntly, before every war, he would come up with a specific combat plan and then give Su Dao a choice, or as a reference, and not adopt any specific plan, or use it at all. This is Su Dao's right, and he is only responsible for assisting Su Dao's work.

When his plan was denied by Su Dao before, he proposed that all plans other than this plan could cause the troops to be surrounded by the Kwantung Army. Now the facts have proved Wu Zhongguo's prophecy that the Kwantung Army has indeed surrounded the Ninety-Nine Army. In other words, if they do not break through before tonight, they will likely face a fierce battle.

His opinion was denied, and eventually he trapped the troops in the encirclement. This result was obviously unacceptable to Wu Zhongguo. This army can be said to be Su Dao's greatest reliance on the country, but for Wu Zhongguo, it was the same? Like Su Dao, he relied on the rapid expansion of the 99th Army, so as to ascend directly from a captain in just one year.

There are so many Huangpu officers in China. After years of hard study and decades of battlefield training, they finally obtained the title of general. What about him? He just followed Su Dao's pace and easily obtained the rank of general, but now he is only twenty-seven years old.

"Old Wu, I think you are a little fussy. Don't worry too much. Just the Kwantung Army's strength is not afraid of coming." Su Dao smiled and patted Wu Zhongguo on the shoulder and comforted him.

Although Wu Zhongguo is a little cautious in his work and even a little timid, it is undeniable that he is an excellent chief of staff. Su Dao claims to be a bold and risk-taking person, while Wu Zhongguo is a kind of person who is meticulous and timid in his heart and likes to think about things. It is a perfect match for the two to be partners together.

In the past, Su Dao would consider the combat plans sent by Wu Zhongguo. If it was not an important matter, Su Dao would agree to do it according to Wu Zhongguo's plan. However, if it was a very important battle or a war of different meanings, Su Dao would make a list of his own plan based on Wu Zhongguo's plan.

Of course, in Su Dao's new plan, we can see the meticulousness of Wu Zhongguo's plan. Although there are loopholes, are those loopholes also opportunities? The most representative case is the previous Lanfeng Battle. At that time, according to Wu Zhongguo's plan, the troops would cross the river near Kaifeng, so as to find the main force of the Japanese army to intercept the attack in northern Henan, severely damaging the main force of the Japanese army on the battlefield in northern Henan, reducing the pressure on the Chinese defenders in northern Henan.

But because Su Dao was worried about the breaking of the Huayuankou, he decided to turn back and block the Japanese army in Lanfeng. Because it created a record of annihilation of the 14th Division of the Japanese army for six hours, shocking the whole world. Although this battle was more than the less, the 99th Army used four times the excess Japanese army's troops to annihilate a Japanese army's entire division in a short period of time, this also proves the fact that the 99th Army is capable of annihilation of the Japanese army's entire unit.

"It's not that I'm fussing. I said military throne. You must give me an explanation for this matter, otherwise I can't convince myself. I can't watch the troops being surrounded by the Japanese army, and then surrounded them and attack slowly. Even if the Japanese army does not come to attack us in a short time in order to avoid casualties, they just need to surround us and not let us go out. In less than half a month, they can still starve us to death." Su Dao's ease made Wu Zhongguo feel an unknown pressure, and he had to tell his worries. The food he robbed from Baoding Station could only be maintained for about ten days at most. If the Japanese army really did not take a shot and an ammunition, they would have to pay the equipment of hundreds of thousands of people in China in the future. What kind of face would he have to stay in China?

"Old Wu, it's not me that I'm talking about you. It seems that you, the Chief of Staff, have to study. After we have firmly stood firm in the Northeast, I have to start a general training class first, and throw you a few of you and those colonel officers in for training." Su Dao smiled bitterly and waved his hand. Seeing Wu Zhongguo's attitude, he had to find an excuse and then continued to speak:

"The Kwantung Army can draw up only five divisions. Let's calculate it for the time being, and there are 20,000 divisions per division. Let's add a little more to him. Based on 30,000 people, the six divisions will only have only 180,000 people. If the logistics and other non-combat soldiers are removed, we will calculate it for 150,000 people. Can we still defeat 150,000 enemies?"

"Although this means, you can't forget that this is the Northeast, not the pass, with an enemy of 150,000, plus the absolute air and sea control power, it's a question whether we can withstand the Japanese attack. It's nothing more to be brave, but you're too brave, right?" Su Dao's meaning was directly heard by Wu Zhongguo. It's nothing more than 3,000 people in the past that we could kill 70,000 or 8,000 Japanese. Now, can't they kill more than 100,000?

Thinking of Su Dao's thoughts, Wu Zhongguo was shocked and immediately hurriedly persuaded him. The 99th Army is not as big as the previous independent regiment. The stalls are getting bigger and bigger, and the responsibility they shoulders is getting bigger and bigger. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers are willing to follow them from the Central Plains to the Northeast. To put it bluntly, this is all thanks to the soldiers' admiration for Su Dao.

In less than a year, from major to lieutenant general, from battalion commander to Class A commander, war zone commander, these are all mythological stories throughout China. It is also these mythological stories, and Su Dao was always able to lead them to win big battles, never suffered a defeat, and every time they were able to severely damage the Japanese troops. It is precisely because of these reasons that Su Dao was put on the altar, making the more than 100,000 soldiers below had an inexplicable admiration for Su Dao.

"I know this is Northeast, so I plan to let the new recruits hide first, so I won't have to go to the battlefield next time. Don't worry, Lao Wu, the bastards of the Kwantung Army dare not attack with all their strength. Let the new recruits hide, one is to protect them, and the other is to make the Kwantung Army feel that our troops are very powerful, and we inexplicably disappeared 60,000 to 70,000 people. If it were you, would you dare to attack with all your strength?" Su Dao said with a wicked smile.
