Chapter 417 Kong Er Idiot, I, Li Yunlong, Convince You
"I'll give you ten days, can you formulate a battle plan to sweep northwestern Shanxi?" Iwamatsu Yoshio asked directly.
The chief of the operations section did not respond directly, but asked with a serious face: "How many troops does our army plan to dispatch, and what is the specific firepower level?"
As soon as Yoshio Iwamatsu heard this, he had a much better impression of the intelligence section chief.
The fact that he could remain rational during the first meeting with him at least shows that he is not a flattering person.
A person who is not flattering can climb to the position of chief of the military operations section, no matter how poor his ability is, he will not be much worse!
The commander of the operations section calmly replied: "Three main divisions, a heavy artillery regiment, a tank regiment, a cavalry regiment, and an aviation regiment!"
"Hiss, hiss..."
The conference room was filled with the sound of breathing, and even the chief of staff sitting nearby was startled.
Looking at Yoshio Iwamatsu, he was dumbfounded. He was stunned for a while before he said: "Your Excellency, Commander... do you really plan to assemble three divisions to attack northwest Shanxi?"
"But do we have so many troops?"
"I don't know the strength of the First Army very well, but I still know how many mobile troops can be mobilized to attack northwest Shanxi!"
"While ensuring the stability of public security in other parts of Shanxi, we can at most dispatch one division to attack northwest Shanxi!"
Iwamatsu Yoshio responded readily: "Do you think I, the commander, will take office empty-handed?"
"When accepting the appointment, Commander Okamura promised to support two main divisions and a heavy artillery regiment in Shanxi within two months..."
"With them, we can assemble three divisions to attack northwest Shanxi!"
"Kill the Eighth Route Army active in northwestern Shanxi, and we can transfer more than half of our troops from northwestern Shanxi to other battlefields!"
"The mobile strength of the Shanxi garrison will increase to two divisions! The situation we are facing will be revitalized!"
The words awakened the dreamer, and the chief of staff immediately showed an expression of sudden realization: "Use northwest Shanxi as a breaking point to revitalize the entire Shanxi war situation... This move is too powerful!"
After saying that, he stared at the Chief of Operations with an encouraging face: "Fujino-kun... you have been in the position of Chief of Operations for three years, and your commanding ability is obvious to all. I hope you can seize this opportunity and show your strength to the Commander.
Real ability!”
"Your Excellency, the Commander, is a person who attaches great importance to talents... Maybe you can realize your wish and serve as the captain of the main force in the army!"
The operations section chief's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately accepted the order: "Commander, please rest assured... I will submit three combat plans to you in ten days, and there will definitely be a plan that satisfies you!"
At the Baipogou Independent Regiment Headquarters, before Li Yunlong entered the door, a hearty voice came into the war room: "Kong Er is stupid...what's the matter with calling me here in such a hurry?"
"I heard that Xiao Huang went to Taiyuan City again. Not only did he seriously injure Yoshio Shinozuka, but he also killed a large number of young Japanese and foreigners who had done all kinds of evil, and brought back a lot of benefits!"
"I must eat a big meal today, pork and roast chicken, no less of them!"
"Good old Li..." Kong Jie heard Li Yunlong's voice and went out to greet him, punching him in the chest.
"All day long, I am always thinking about the good wine I have hidden!"
"Don't worry, it's hard to come to Baipo Valley. My old comrades will definitely not treat you badly!"
"The independent group doesn't have much else, it just has a lot of prey and fish!"
"To entertain you, I asked the cooking team to leave a whole pig leg, two hares, three pheasants, and two big fish..."
"When Old Ding arrives, we three brothers will definitely have a good drink!"
After a few glasses of wine, Li Yunlong became more and more direct in his speech. He lined up the table and said: "Kong Er is stupid... If it were two years ago, the commander asked you to make the final decision at the joint command... I, Li Yunlong, am hundred
Not convinced!"
"Now I'm convinced!"
"You kid can not only fight steadily, but also fight dangerous battles. You are better than me, Li Yunlong, in many areas!"
"If nothing else, I'm not as good as you when it comes to recruiting troops!"
"Your kid's artillery battalion is the real heavy artillery battalion. My artillery battalion is at best a half-baked heavy artillery battalion!"
"There is also the management of the troops... In order to reduce the pressure on the command of the regiment, three or four deputy chiefs of staff were appointed to the independent regiment at once... Why didn't I think of this trick!"
"After knowing your method, I also appointed several deputy chiefs of staff at the regiment headquarters!"
"In the past, I was so busy with Lao Zhao that I didn't even have time to inspect the base!"
"With these deputy chiefs of staff, I can go to each battalion every few days!"
Ding Wei was very surprised and said: "Old Li... what you just said made me look at you with admiration!"
"The Lord who was fearless in the past has bowed his head in front of Lao Kong today!"
"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it was true!"
Li Yunlong did not answer, but looked at Ding Wei and asked: "Old Ding, don't talk more nonsense... just tell me whether you accept Kong Jie or not!"
"Of course I'm convinced!" Ding Wei said happily.
"Lao Kong used to be very dull in fighting. He often fought tough battles, but it was rare to see him fight skillfully!"
"Ever since Xiao Huang became a guard for him, he has become a new person. He dares to fight dangerous battles that he never dared to fight before. There are more and more combat methods, which makes me dazzled!"
Kong Jie was very happy to be recognized by his old comrades, and said bluntly: "Xiao Huang has indeed had a great influence on me!"
"He really played a big role in why I, Kong Jie, am today!"
"Otherwise, when Lao Li offered me a machine gun in exchange for Xiao Huang, I wouldn't have refused..."
"To be honest, I can't do without Xiao Huang even when fighting now!"
"When I encounter a big battle, a dangerous battle, or when I can't make up my mind, as long as Xiao Huang is by my side, I will feel more confident!"
Li Yunlong answered: "I used to think that Old Ding was a dog-headed military advisor!"
"After seeing Xiao Huang, I suddenly felt that he is the real dog-headed strategist!"
Ding Wei nodded and said: "This guy does have more ideas than me, his brain works faster than mine, and his mind is very careful. Otherwise, the commander would not have named him to be a combat consultant at the joint command headquarters to give us advice!"
"By the way, Lao Kong... your boy must have called us here for more than just a meal, right?"
Kong Jie's face immediately became very serious. He looked at the two of them and said, "It was Xiao Huang who suggested that I call you two here!"
"Read the telegram from the headquarters asking us to establish a joint command!"
"It says that the newly appointed commander of Taiyuan, Yoshio Iwamatsu, asked Okamura Nei for two divisions. With the addition of a division that can be mobilized from Shanxi, Yoshio Iwamatsu has more than three mobile divisions.
A heavy artillery regiment!"
"If all these troops are used to sweep northwestern Shanxi..."
"Even if our three regiments set up a joint headquarters to jointly defend against the enemy, our chances of winning are very low!"
"He feels we must prepare for counter-mopping up from now on!"
