Outside Muzhou City, Tu Sanpao smoked a cigarette and looked at the map without saying a word. [This article comes from] This map covers Muzhou to Dian Province. The red arrow on it is the current attack posture of the National Defense Forces.

The blue arrows show the current support situation of the Japanese army. The gear-shaped ones are the defensive routes made by the Japanese army. Several new airports have been built, and they are now roughly completed.

At Tu Sanpao's request, some of the Army soldiers selected by Gao Zhihang were sent to the temporary training class of the Southeast Asian Air Force Command of the National Defense Forces.

Fortunately, some Kunpeng and Steller Moth are not single-seat fighters, so these aircraft are barely usable as training aircraft. After they become proficient in driving, the next step of training can be carried out.

It has to be said that Tu Menghu's requirement that troops must be literate played a huge role at this time. The selected soldiers quickly understood the air force's teaching materials and learned certain operational skills.

The hibernation of the Japanese army during this period also gave the National Defense Forces a chance to conduct pilot training.

During this period of time, Gun Ye has been waiting. Waiting for support from the Southeast Military Region, waiting for the arrival of a large amount of military supplies. At the same time, waiting for reinforcements from the Japanese army.

Only by forcing the Japanese army to mobilize front-line troops including the Philippines and Indonesia, would the Nanyang Military Division troops lurking in the local jungles have a chance to dispatch.

Although the Japanese army has currently mobilized most of its troops to provide support, the number of troops in places including the Philippines and Indonesia is still around two to three brigades.

The purpose was to deter local forces. At first, the Japanese army adopted a soft policy in these places, and the local big families were willing to cooperate with the Japanese army.

However, this cooperation began to crack after the disastrous defeat of the Japanese army in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang battles. A large number of Southeast Asian threatening troops were directly damaged in the battle and their lives and deaths in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas were unknown.

This was unacceptable to many local big families. Due to the heavy losses, the Japanese army had to forcibly recruit local civilians to mine minerals and form new subordinate troops.

These actions aroused the resentment of the local big clans, and some of them were already considering whether to contact the US military to fight guerrillas to drive the Japanese out.

It is a pity that most of the guerrillas left behind by the US military were wiped out by the Japanese army. This was all information provided by these big clans. Many of them were even assisted in the annihilation.

And a large number of US military prisoners of war died in their hands, which made them dare not easily contact the US military.

The Japanese certainly knew the consequences of their actions in these places. Therefore, even if Masaharu Honma was ordered to bring troops to support, he only brought two divisions to support.

The troops of the remaining two brigades were placed in the Philippines to guard the local area. The most important role of these two brigades was to deter those large local clans that might have second thoughts.

Sugiyama Gen actually knew these situations, so he did not force Masaharu Honma and others to mobilize all their troops. He only asked them to use their main troops to support the defense lines in Muzhou and other places.

"Give the Japanese another eight days of happiness!" Master Pao chuckled and dropped the pencil on the map. The adjutant beside him saw that Master Pao was happy and said softly as he walked in.

"Commander, it's time to eat. It's been a long time since we brought back this meal. I've heated it up three times for you..." Master Pao frowned when he heard this and said, "Why bother the kitchen?! I'm having dinner tonight.

It's my fault, how can you bother others?!"

"Go! Apologize to the cooking team. Don't do it again next time." Master Guno walked to the cannon shell box on the side, sat down and said, "I know you are doing this for my own good, but there is no need now.

Don’t do this again in the future, do you understand?!”

"Yes!" This adjutant is new. The former adjutant has been sent to the National Defense Forces University by the gun master to further his studies. After he comes out, he will come to the front line to serve as a platoon leader.

Then he worked his way up step by step. Regarding his last adjutant, Gun Ye felt that he was very sorry for him. In order to accompany him, he did not have the chance to go to the battlefield for many years.

Now people are already at the age of four. If he is not allowed to go, the chances will be slim in the future. Therefore, Master Guno decided to change to an adjutant.

On the table where two shell boxes were stacked, there was a lunch box. When opened, it contained nothing more than simple white rice, with some pork vermicelli and Chinese cabbage.

You don’t need to think about the taste of the food in the army. It’s basically cooked in a big pot and you eat it as soon as it’s served. The taste is just average, but the portion is definitely sufficient.

Sitting on the box of cannonballs, Mr. Cannon ate all the food in a hurry. At the end, he smashed it in his mouth and sighed that his life was so good some time ago.

As a result, now that I don’t drink two cups, I feel like I have no appetite for food.

"Commander, there is a call from Commander-in-Chief Li of the Southeast Military Region." As soon as Mr. Pao put down his bowls and chopsticks, the adjutant walked in solemnly and said to Mr. Tu. A glint flashed in Tu Sanpao's eyes and he said, "Read it!"

"Commander-in-Chief Tu's lesson: After receiving the order, our Southeast Military Region immediately stopped recruiting troops and immediately set out. After five days of train, we finally arrived in Yunnan Province. Now our vanguard force, the Tian Siyi Division of the 4th South China Army Corps, has arrived in the Liangshan area.

, the rest of the troops can all arrive in Yunnan Province within five days, please call the commander-in-chief to inform you of the specific arrangements..."

Hearing this, Tu Sanpao laughed and scolded: "This Li Delin is afraid that the Southwest Military Region will steal all the military exploits from him. He can't wait to travel all night! It's okay, our plan may be done in advance!"

With that said, Mr. Gun walked to the map and looked at it. At this time, Deng Yinfan, deputy chief of staff of the National Defense Forces and chief of general staff of the Southeast Asian Theater of the National Defense Forces, also hurriedly came to the headquarters.

"Commander, Li Delin is in a hurry. I'm afraid that when he comes over, he will become a tired soldier. If we can't enter the battlefield immediately, it's best to repair the car first."

Deng Yinfan's words were not unreasonable. Even an iron man would be exhausted if he kept on traveling. If the Japanese counterattack situation was critical, there would be no way to let the Southeast Military Region fight directly.

But now the National Defense Force is the main attacker, and all the initiative is in the hands of the National Defense Force. At this time, it is definitely impossible for our soldiers to be exhausted to fight against the Japanese army.

"Well... let them rest for a day after arriving and recuperate their spirits. Are you afraid that this battle will not be fought?!" Tu Sanpao followed suit and continued: "Old Deng, I think we should let the 1st Army Corps of the South China Military Region

Enter Sonluo first to ensure the offensive posture in the Sonluo area."

"And the second and third legions of the South China Military Region are directly in Muzhou to help us break through Muzhou's defense line!" Tu Sanpao pointed at the map in his hand and said: "Look! If we attack Muzhou,

The losses will be huge."

"But since we didn't take Shanluo, we have to take Muzhou now." After a pause, Tu Sanpao sneered: "Of course, we have another choice. Here!"

Deng Yinfan looked along Tu Sanpao's finger and saw that it was a town under the Tuojiang River: Fenshan. Next to Fenshan was Shanxi, and in front of Fenshan was Hanoi, the capital of Annan!

"Commander, do you want to attack Fenshan and force the Japanese army to mobilize the main force to fight you?!" Deng Yinfan frowned and said: "Commander, Fenshan is not far from Shanxi on the edge. And the Japanese army in Shanxi is also

A large number of troops have been stationed."

"If we want to attack Fenshan, there is no doubt that the Japanese army in Shanxi will never stand idly by." After a pause, Deng Yinfan said: "By then, we will be passive..."

Pao Ye chuckled and said, "I'm not stupid! Why just attack his fortified city?!"

"My purpose is to draw out Shanxi and the Japanese troops here!" Gunner said with a smile: "I watched the battle in Shanghai, as well as the battles in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. To be honest, the Japanese's turtle shell tactics are indeed unique.

place."

"But we are not completely helpless against him." Master Gun lit the table and said to Deng Yinfan: "Our biggest advantage now is that the Japanese don't know about the support from the Southeast Military Region."

"So, I plan to ask the Southeast Military Region to try not to march during the day. Just march through the road at night. They don't need to hide it for a long time. It only takes three to five days."

Tu Sanpao stood up, looked out the observation window with his hands behind his back and said: "You think, if the Japanese army in Fenshan found that there were more than a hundred heavy artillery bombarding them, would they think that they were attacked by our main force?!

"

"Definitely!" Deng Yinfan nodded. If he encounters more than a hundred heavy artillery, there is no doubt that this must be the main force of the National Defense Force.

"What if at this time the troops in Shanluo and Muzhou find that the troops in front of them do not have heavy artillery?!" Tu Sanpao smiled slightly, turned around and asked Deng Yinfan.

Deng Yinfan felt a little cold. There was no doubt that the Japanese army would suspect Shanluo, and the main forces from the two areas in Muzhou were deployed to attack Fenshan. After all, as long as Fenshan was cut off and Shanxi was captured, Hanoi would become an isolated island.

The First Army will attack fiercely in the Jiangbei area first. Once the National Defense Force appears in Fenshan, it will cause panic in the entire Annam. At that time, the two groups will attack Dong Anh, the last town outside Hanoi City, and then join forces.

Everyone can see what this will lead to. As long as this road is opened, the defense of Shanluo and Muzhou will become meaningless.

"This is my general direction, Lao Deng! You go and draw up a battle plan, and then we will discuss it." If it were in the past, Gun Ye would have racked his brains to perfect the details of the battle.

But now that we have a general staff, why are we still working so hard? If we propose a general direction, the general staff will naturally improve it.

"Okay! I'll go back and sort out my thoughts with the others. At tomorrow's meeting, I will come up with two or three plans for the commander-in-chief to choose from." After Deng Yinfan recorded Tu Sanpao's thoughts, he nodded and turned around in a hurry

Leave...

ps: I really can’t stand it anymore... I feel dizzy. Let’s take a rest first... I will make up for the remaining 4,000 words tomorrow.
