Yamamoto Kazuki added: "Your Excellency, Commander, in my opinion, it is not surprising that the Eighth Route Army suddenly appeared with more than 300 battalions. After all, their set of ideas has a great agitating effect on the civilians of China.

Who has the most people in China? Common people.

Throughout the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei region, there are district squads, county brigades, and guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army almost everywhere."

"If the Eighth Route Army also mobilizes these militia and guerrilla groups, it may not be impossible to gather more than 300 battalions."

"It can be seen from the various weapons and equipment they are equipped with that this is what the Eighth Route Army must have done."

"Such a poor army with extremely poor equipment, almost no logistical supply capabilities, and lack of systematic training does not have much combat effectiveness, and it is not something to be afraid of."

After a pause, Yamamoto Kazuki changed the topic and said: "What really puzzles me is how the commander of the Eighth Route Army commanded and mobilized such a huge army.

More than 300 battalions launched attacks on more than 300 strongholds of the Imperial Army at the same time, with almost no time difference, and there were no mistakes. Such command and coordination capabilities are difficult for even the Imperial Army to possess."

"You must know that the equipment of the China Eighth Route Army is notoriously backward. Their radio stations are only equipped to the brigade level, and the transmission of messages at lower levels can only rely on cavalry communicators.

In this case, how can they achieve unified command?"

Chief of Staff Miyano Jun thought for a while and said: "Could it be that the Eighth Route Army had agreed on a time in advance and then launched operations at the same time?"

Kazuki Yamamoto: "It should be like this, but it's definitely not that simple!"

After a pause, Yamamoto Kazuki changed the subject and asked: "Chief of Staff, if you were replaced as the commander of the Eighth Route Army, would you be able to command this attack so perfectly?"

Miyano Jun was immediately stopped by the question. He pondered for a while and thought of various methods. In the end, he could only shake his head helplessly.

It is necessary to unified command an army of more than 100,000 or 200,000 people under extremely backward communication conditions, and this army must be dispersed into more than 300 units to fight separately; moreover, these more than 300 units seem to be fighting separately, but

During the battle, we do not fight alone, but engage in various coordinated operations.

This is obviously not something that anyone can do.

At least Miyano and Toshi couldn't do it.

Kazuki Yamamoto: "Therefore, the command ability of the China Eighth Route Army is the most terrifying and the greatest threat to the Imperial Army."

This time, everyone in the headquarters nodded in deep agreement.

Chief of Staff Miyano Shun added: "Indeed, the Eighth Route Army's commanding capabilities are indeed terrifying, something the China Central Army and the Shanxi-Sui Army do not possess at all.

Furthermore, the Eighth Route Army's determination to execute its orders and its courage to fear death were something that the China Central Army and the Shanxi-Sui Army did not possess.

Many of the Central Army of China and the Shanxi-Sui Army surrendered to the Imperial Army and became the Imperial Associated Army. Although some of the Eighth Route Army also surrendered, they were so few that they can be ignored."

"If the Eighth Route Army can have the weapons and equipment of the China Central Army, or if the China Central Army can have the coordination and command capabilities of the Eighth Route Army, as well as the determination not to fear death, it will not be easy for the Imperial Army to defeat it again and again.

matter!"

Jun Miyano began to think back and study the horrors of the Eighth Route Army. However, the more he studied, the more terrifying he discovered the Eighth Route Army.

The expressions of the rest of the people were not that good.

Of course, this does not mean that the commanding abilities of the national army officers are not good. In fact, the commanders of the Central Army who have outstanding pace commanding abilities, such as General Xue Boling, the tiger boy who invented the Tianlu method, and General Bai Jiansheng, the young Zhuge, etc.

Too many to mention.

However, there are many factions in the national army, each with their own selfish motives. As a result, it is better to have a favorable wind during the battle, but once the wind goes against it, all kinds of chaos will occur, and orders from the top will be obeyed and violated, etc.

The Eighth Route Army almost all have firm and consistent beliefs, so they naturally have no selfish motives when executing orders.

Yoshio Shinozuka also deeply agreed: "Although the weapons and equipment of the Eighth Route Army are very poor, not to mention compared with the Central Army, even compared with the Jinsui Army, it is far inferior."

"But compared to the Central Army and the Shanxi-Sui Army, the Eighth Route Army is obviously more aggressive."

"Although the Eighth Route Army rarely launches frontal attacks, their ambush battles and sparrow battles are extremely threatening, and after taking advantage, they will not just give up when the situation is good, like the Central Army, but will continue to push further."

"So I dare to conclude that China Tubal Road must have greater ambitions and goals this time."

"If my guess is correct, they will definitely launch attacks on those secondary strongholds next, and try to attack the Zhengtai Railway, Tongpu Railway, and Pinghan Railway, and even attack some counties along the line!"

After a pause, Shinozuka Yoshio changed the subject and said: "Of course, this is just my guess. When formulating a combat plan, the combat department still needs to use intelligence as a basis, not conjecture."

"Hiyi!"

Saburo Yoshida, the head of the Operations Section, paused heavily, and then said: "Commander's Office, otherwise, order the Imperial Army to form an independent mixed 1st Brigade, an independent mixed 4th Brigade, and a 27th Division each to send a mobile brigade to cooperate with the aviation force.

The tactical guidance took the initiative to lure out the main force of the Eighth Route Army? In this way, the combat intention of the Eighth Route Army was exposed."

"Take the initiative to attack?" Shinozuka Yoshio asked angrily with a black face: "In which direction to attack? What if the China Eighth Route Army avoids the battle? How many kilometers is the limit for the attack? All the way into the hinterland of the bandit area?"

"This..." Saburo Yoshida was speechless for a moment when he was asked.

Which direction to attack is not a problem, the problem is that the Eighth Route Army will most likely avoid fighting, because this is the Eighth Route Army's consistent style.

Every time the Japanese army raided the countryside, the Eighth Route Army would hide far away, but as soon as they got the chance, they would turn around and bite the Japanese hard.

Therefore, if we take the initiative to attack at this moment, we may be exhausted and return in vain, or we may fall into the ambush of the Eighth Route Army and suffer heavy losses or even be wiped out.

Yoshio Shinozuka added: "So, let's wait a little longer, wait one more day, if nothing happens, the Eighth Route Army will reveal their true combat intentions tonight, and then the Imperial Army will be able to launch a counterattack!"

"

"Hiyi!"

All the Japanese officers ordered to take orders one after another.

Yoshio Shinozuka looked at Iijima Mori, the section chief of the Intelligence Section, and asked: "Iijima-kun, how are the actions of your Intelligence Section? Have you released goodwill to the China Central Army and the Shanxi-Sui Army?"

Iijima Mori: "Our intelligence section has expressed goodwill to the Central China Army and the Shanxi-Sui Army through channels. At present, the Central Army and the Shanxi-Sui Army have not responded to this, but..."
