Central Corps. Headquarters. War Room.

There were more than fifty full-time officers at the rank of division commander or above.

When Zhang Yong came in, he thought, Wow, it's so neat. If an aerial bomb fell, everyone would definitely not be lonely on the road to Huangquan.

There is no need to fight the Japanese. The top brass of the Central Corps have been dealt a blow.

So, is it stupid to gather so many people together?

Make up your mind.

If you don't sit on the podium, sit by the door.

If the map warns, he will be the first to run out. There is a trench not far outside.

No matter what happens to you, it's important to save your life.

"Commissioner..."

"I'll sit here."

"But……"

The staff was dumbfounded.

Commissioner, this is unique!

You seem to be the biggest leader in the war room. You don’t sit on the rostrum...

"Stop talking nonsense. Start."

"yes."

The chief of staff hurriedly began to introduce and ramble on.

As a result, Zhang Yong interrupted him again in the middle. He was impatient and got straight to the point.

"I only care about two issues now."

"First, how many troops have been organized to prepare for a counterattack."

"Second, when to start counterattack."

As soon as he finished speaking, the whole place fell silent.

The chief of staff was sweating on his forehead.

Zhu Shaoliang's face tightened.

Zhang Yong stood up and waved to everyone.

"Forget it. I'll see to it myself! Everyone! Disband! Go outside and wait for orders!"

"yes."

The others immediately felt as if they had received amnesty and left one after another.

Sitting next to the Commissioner is really like sitting on pins and needles. This Commissioner's murderous spirit is too strong.

But when you get outside, you don't dare to go too far. If you don't receive the order from the Commissioner, then it's a shame. Be frightened and be cautious.

"Bring it here."

Zhang Yong stretched out his hand.

The chief of staff hurriedly handed over various statistics.

At present, the Central Corps has two group armies, seven corps, and twenty-nine divisions.

Well, there are a lot of numbers. A total of 29 divisions. Based on 9,000 people per division, there should be more than 260,000 people. However, those are all paper data.

In fact, even before the war started, not all divisions had 9,000 men.

There are very few individual divisions, not even 7,000 men.

Battle attrition...

Add some more...

Continue to lose...

Now, each division has an average of less than 4,000 men.

After squeezing out the water, the Central Corps currently has less than 120,000 people, including a large number of logistical support personnel.

Almost all of the Japanese aggressors' regiment were combatants. The number of non-combatants was very small. Therefore, their combat effectiveness was very strong and their endurance was also very strong.

But the national army is different.

A division of the national army often has one third composed of non-combatants.

Slightly better ones, such as the 87th and 88th Divisions, also have thousands of non-combatants. The organization is very bloated.

The Japanese invaders faced were three complete divisions and two independent mixed brigades.

The Japanese invaders also suffered casualties, but they were replenished quickly and there were plenty of new soldiers.

"How many Japanese invaders are there in Dachang Town?"

"It's probably an independent mixed brigade."

"so much?"

"The preliminary judgment is this."

"knew."

Zhang Yong actually wanted to curse people.

This Zhu Shaoliang and the chief of staff are really not very effective.

There is no accurate data at all for enemy reconnaissance. It is even impossible to accurately determine the Japanese aggressors around Dachang Town.

It is said that it is an independent mixed brigade. In fact, it is vague.

How many people were there? Didn’t say.

Know yourself and the enemy and you will be victorious in every battle. This is the basic principle of warfare.

You can't even figure out how many troops the enemy has. How can you fight a war? Are you willing to sacrifice your life?

Are you confused enough to attack, and confused enough to be defeated?

A waste of losses and no results.

"Chief of Staff, you are tired." Zhang Yong said in a deep voice.

"I didn't..." The chief of staff still didn't understand.

"You're tired. Go home and have a good rest." Zhang Yong said bluntly, "I'll find someone to replace you."

"Ah?" The chief of staff finally understood. His face suddenly turned pale.

Everyone around him immediately fell silent.

I didn't dare to take a breath.

Is this an immediate dismissal?

really……

Every time the Commissioner comes, it means someone is going to be in trouble.

But no one expected that the first unlucky person would be the Chief of Staff of the Corps. He had absolute seniority. He had two stars on his lapel badge!

really……

The Commissioner's knife is really fast and sharp.

One knife kills.

Clean and tidy.

"I..." the chief of staff muttered, still wanting to struggle.

"Chief of Staff, it's more dignified to leave this way." Zhang Yong's tone turned cold, "I feel unwell, so I take the initiative to resign."

"Well, I am not in good health and I request to resign..." the chief of staff quickly changed his words.

"Okay. I approved it." Zhang Yong nodded and his tone became calm, "After you go back, have a good rest and take good care of yourself. You will have another chance in the future."

"Yes." The chief of staff agreed. He also had to express his gratitude to Zhang Yong.

Otherwise, it's over.

This is a decent retirement, just like General Wenbai.

If Zhang Yong is unwilling to send a telegram to the headquarters, he will be dismissed directly and will never be used again.

Zhu Shaoliang next to him moved his lips slightly, but stopped talking.

What he actually wanted to say was that you, Zhang Yong, are not qualified to dismiss the Corps Chief of Staff. But, thinking about it later, Zhang Yong is not qualified, but he is appointed!

The appointment must have given Zhang Yong special privileges. Zhang Yong is now giving face to others. If he does not know what is good and what is bad, then he is asking for trouble.
