"Major General Nakajima, the soldiers in front are fighting bloody battles, but you are free and easy. Are you ashamed?" Lu Cao didn't care that he was under Nakajima's restraint. The superiority of the cavalry general made him look down on this Nakajima Kangjian, who was far lower than his qualifications, and he shouted loudly when he came up.

"This is a military book written by Sun Wu, a master of military arts two thousand years ago. It is called Sun Tzu's Art of War." Nakajima did not seem to hear Lu Cao's shouting, but instead patiently introduced the book in his hand to him.

"Major General Nakajima!" Lu Cao was so angry that the battle situation was so tense that he still had the leisure to discuss things two thousand years ago.

"This is a good book, which concentrates all the military wisdom of people. People's warfare for the past two thousand years has never been separated from the scope of this book." Nakajima took his feet out of the basin, and the orderly sold him to dry, put on cotton socks, and then put his clogs on.

Nakajima Shiran stood up and didn't seem to see Lu Cao's increasingly angry face. She took two steps and showed a satisfied expression, then said: "Are Gu Shujun outside too? Come in together?"

Colonel Songren of the Gushu was the third mixed leader. The commander of the two brigades transferred from the brigade, he came two days earlier than Lu Cao, and was sent to rest as soon as he arrived. He didn't let anything do and was furious.

The tree agreed outside the door and came in. He stood there without saying a word, but just looked at Nakajima in resentment.

"Lu Caojun, Gu Shujun, don't. In this book, although the weapons have changed, the strategic thinking has not changed. People's strategic thinking is all in this book," Nakajima said, and gently placed Sun Tzu's Art of War on the table, then walked to the bedside and picked up another thin booklet: "This booklet is a war debate written by the current general Jiang Fangzhen. It is said that General Zhuang Jihua also participated. I wonder if you have read it?"

Lucao and Gushu did not answer, and both of them showed confusion and confusion on their faces, but their attitude was not as intense as before. Nakajima continued: "All the strategies of people for this war are based on this book. Only by understanding their strategies can they propose targeted tactics. Otherwise, even if they win tactically, they will fail strategically. Think about it, Songhu, Nanjing, Pingjin, and Shanxi, we all won, but why do we feel passive everywhere and are getting further and further away from our goals? This is a typical tactical victory and strategic failure."

"Your Excellency," Gu Shu couldn't help but step forward, and asked with his head raised, "What's the benefit of saying this? As long as we win this battle, people will have to seek peace from the empire, and the empire's strategic goals will be achieved."

"Just win this battle? Many people think this way," Nakajima turned his head and looked at the ancient tree, Yangyang's book: "But what if they don't ask for peace? According to what this book says, they won't ask for peace, and they will continue to fight regardless of victory or defeat."

"Then we will continue to fight until they ask for peace." Lu Cao interrupted coldly.

"Sun Tzu said in the art of war that the superior troops attack the plan, the second is to attack the diplomatic plan, the second is to attack the diplomatic plan, the second is to attack the enemy's army, the worst is to attack the enemy's city. People now use this line, they want to drag this war down, to the British and American intervention, to drag us out of exhaustion."

"Your Excellency," Lucao's expression was still cold, but his eyes were not so sharp: "You have said so much, but I don't understand. What should we do? Please be careful."

"Qucaojun, Gushujun, I'm afraid you're all anxious," Nakajima smiled slightly, then shouted outside the door: "Linxiajun, bring the map in."

The Chief of Staff came in with a map under the forest. Nakajima planned to spread the map on the table, then called the deer grass and ancient trees to the table, and four people gathered around the table.

"I just said so much, but the meaning is actually only one. The battle of Xuzhou cannot be a stalemate, and there is no allowance for failure, and even small victory cannot be accepted. A big victory must be won and the main force of the Xuzhou army must be completely annihilated. Only in this way can the Chiang Kai-shek government be forced to accept the peaceful conditions of the empire and end the incident."

Nakajima said, sighing softly: "The incident has seriously dragged the empire. Our real enemy is the Soviet Union in the north. So far, the Soviet Union has not invested a soldier, but we have invested nearly two million people, including Manchuria. 80% of the national fiscal revenue is invested in this war. The empire is bleeding and must stitch the wound."

"From the news we have received at present, the strategy of the military headquarters has failed. The best result of the Battle of Xuzhou is to conquer Xuzhou, but let the main force of the army escape. This result is not better than failure. The army can retreat to Wuhan, rely on the vast western region to continue fighting with our army, continue to drag us down, and continue to consume the power of the empire."

"To break human fantasy, I decided to give up the tasks stipulated by the Front Army and change simple defense to active offense."

As soon as Nakajima said this, Lucao and Gushu were very excited, but the forest was a little worried. The task given by the North China Front Army was to defend against the First Army and the 32nd Army and other troops in the First World War Zone to cover the flanks of the main force. Now it is necessary to launch an attack, which is equivalent to relaxing the backs of the main force. What is more worrying is that their troops only have more than 8,000 people, and the First Cavalry Brigade only has more than 12,000 people, and the Central ** team they faced had five armies, with a large number of 80,000 people, and the number was very different. In this case, the risk of breaking away from the existing positions to launch an attack can be imagined.

"Sun Tzu said in the art of war that you know yourself and your enemy, you will never be defeated in a hundred battles. After I arrived at the front line, I collected the troops in the First War Zone from various channels. The enemy we faced was the First Army, the 32nd Army, the 97th Army, the 53th Army, the 91st Army and other troops in the First War Zone. Among these troops, the First Army was the famous former 29th Army. The essence of this army has been transferred to the Fifth War Zone and assigned to the general. The remaining ones are the 77th Army, the 67th Army, and the 92nd Army. Another combat-effective unit is the 32nd Army. As for the other troops, most of them were adapted from the security regiment after the war. The combat effectiveness was insufficient and could not stop the attack of a large troop of our army." Kazuka Nakajima's tone was calm. In fact, he spent a lot of effort to collect these materials, and started from the North China Command.

"For this reason, I think we can completely destroy the army in front of us, conquer Xinxiang, and then turn to Yuanyang, cross the Yellow River in Yuanyang, and feint attack Kaifeng, attract the army to cross the north bank of the Yellow River, and then go straight to Lankao, cross the Shandong border from Lankao, capture Dingtao, cooperate with General Honma to seal the army's rear route, and encircle and annihilate the main force of the fifth war zone."

Nakajima said as he drew a motion trajectory on the map, which drew an arc and directly drew to Dingtao. This attack line is extremely exciting and terrifying.

Not only did the more than 80,000 Central ** teams standing in front, once they entered the hinterland of the army, the army would transfer their elite troops from the front line, and the troops that went deeper into the south of the Yellow River alone would face the danger of being completely wiped out. Moreover, the Forty-ninth Army, the first strong army, appeared in Heze, implemented the guns to aim at them. None of them dared to boast that they had combat effectiveness exceeded the Fifth Division, known as the Steel Army.

Looking at the three of them with a serious expression, Nakajima said lightly: "This is a very dangerous combat line, but I believe that only this line can conform to the strategy of the Imperial Army."

"But if we go south, what about Anyang, Junxin Township?" Lu Cao raised his head and asked, "Will the back of the main force of the front army be exposed to the attack of the army? This will place the main force of the front army in a very dangerous place."

"No, these troops are miscellaneous troops, they are already scared of courage and dare not attack the Imperial Army at all," Nakajima showed a contemptuous expression: "Lu Caojun, Gu Shujun, when you were not here, our mixed brigade had only more than 6,000 people, and they had more than 80,000 people, but they did not launch an attack. Therefore, as long as there were two brigades, they would not dare to launch an attack."

"Kun Gu Shu, after capturing Xinxiang, your troops will stay, Lu Cao Jun, you and me cross the river. The key to this battle is to act quickly and without hesitation. After crossing the river, you must not stay in any place for more than one day. Any areas that cannot be captured within one day must be given up. You must take a detour." Nakajima's tone was still calm, but the village heard a hint of excitement. He understood the reason why Nakajima left the ancient trees. Nakajima was worried that the ancient trees could not keep up with the march. After Nakajima took office as the Fifth Mixed Brigade, the training intensity of the Fifth Brigade commander was significantly higher than that of other troops. Soldiers can fight and run, and there is no problem in marching for a hundred miles a day and a night.

"You guys, do you have the courage to travel to Henan with me?" Nakajima put his hands into his wide sleeves, his expression relaxed, as if he was inviting a friend to go on a winter trip.

The room fell into silence. The village was so quiet that he had not said anything. He had been persuaded by Nakajima. Nakajima was waiting for Shicao's statement now. This was a death-threatening attack. If Shicao did not agree, Nakajima would really not dare to make up his mind. His troops were insufficient.

"I don't hide it from Shikaku," Nakajima said: "This is a deadly attack. We may be destroyed in the entire army, but our actions will completely disrupt the deployment of the army, support the actions of the main force of the front army, and create conditions for encirclement and annihilation of the main force of the army. Therefore, even if we die in battle, we will leave our name in history and record the history of the imperial war forever."

Nakajima's excitement made Deercao and Ancient Tree suddenly excited. The two of them said in unison: "I am willing to obey the orders! Work for the empire!"

"So, let's prepare for it, and we will launch an attack at dawn."

"Hayi!"

Lucao and Gushu turned around and went out at the door. When Lucao arrived at the door, he said to Gushu with some excitement: "See you, Yasukuni Shrine."

"I really envy you," Gu Shu sighed: "You can kill the Yellow River and completely disrupt the deployment of the army!"

"Your Gu Shujun, I'll leave your back to you." Lu Cao's excitement still didn't pass.

"Don't worry, the army cannot break through our defense line. Please don't worry about attacking. Even if we die in battle, we will not allow it. The army threatens the back of the front army."

The two encouraged each other to say goodbye. As soon as Nakajima left, he said to the village: "According to the scheduled deployment, prepare for the attack. It must start at 6 a.m., and must break through the military defense line at 7 a.m. This morning, we will attack Xinxiang City. If we cannot do it, let Captain Komatsu cut the stomach in front of the position."

Nakajima's tone was chilling.
