"Only by completing the four-sided encirclement of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, the raid of the bandit area in the northwest of Shanxi of the Eighth Route Army would be meaningful. Otherwise, the Imperial Army would concentrate a large number of troops and spend a lot of materials to organize a sweep, but the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army ran away. Wouldn't it be a waste of work?"

The officers present nodded at the same time.

Their ideas are consistent with the third level of the third level.

"This is exactly the second reason I want to say." Okamura Yasuji said in a deep voice, "This morning, I personally flew to Hetao and northwest Shanxi to conduct reconnaissance on the bandit area in northwest Shanxi."

"A very important message was found."

Speaking of this, Okamura Yasuji said again: "I found that the bandit area in northwestern Shanxi is next to the Yellow River, but this section of the Yellow River flows rapidly, the ferrying efficiency is very low, and there are no large ships at all. In other words, people and livestock can ferry back and forth in this section of the Yellow River, but machinery and equipment weighing several tons or even dozens of tons is impossible."

You Mo Jingsan said: "Your Excellency General, do you mean that machines and equipment cannot cross the river?"

"Yes, machinery and equipment will never cross the Yellow River." Okamura Yasuji said confidently, "So, what you are worried about will not happen. The 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army will never escape easily until the end, because they finally grabbed this batch of machinery and equipment from Taiyuan, and finally built the factory, how could they give up easily?"

"But what if?" Ogito Mijido, "What if the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army gave up?"

"That's nothing." Okamura Yasuji said, "If the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army really gave up the bandit area in the northwest Shanxi and the factory that it finally built, it would lose its stable ammunition supply. Then in the next battle, as long as the Imperial Army did not make a fatal mistake, the 386th Brigade would become an annihilation battle, they would become weaker and weaker, until they completely lost the ability to launch a large-scale battle. By then, even if the 386th Brigade was still there, it would be no need to worry about it."

Ashimi nodded subconsciously because logically, Okamura Yasuji was right.

Because the strong combat effectiveness of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army was also based on sufficient ammunition supply.

If there were no divisional warships seized from Taiyuan, the combat effectiveness of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army would never be strong enough to this extent.

Okamura Yasuji said again: "In addition, I said that I would give up the Goyuan Battle Plan and launch a raid against the bandit area in northwestern Shanxi in advance. It is not about asking for your opinions, nor is it about the agenda for convening a meeting of staff today."

After a pause, Okamura Yasuji said again: "This is an order and must be executed."

Everyone looked at each other, and they agreed that you have already made a decision, so I can still discuss it.

Ogito Mijido: "God General, what is the topic of today's staff meeting?"

Okamura Yasuji said: "The topic of this aide meeting is to target the raid of the bandit area in northwestern Shanxi. I hope everyone can speak enthusiastically and make suggestions for this raid."

"So that's how it is." Youmo Jingsan nodded happily and then said, "Youdao is a lion fighting against a rabbit, and you still try your best. So I think this time, the Eighth Route Army's bandit area in the northwest Shanxi is best to mobilize enough troops to form a crushing advantage over the Eighth Route Army's 386th Brigade to ensure victory."

Okamura Yasuji asked, "So how many divisions does Amo Jun think he needs?"

"All divisions!" There are three sub-sights. "The seven divisions that have just been transferred to the North China battlefield in the base camp for this sweep. If possible, it is best to use the 3rd Division of the chariots stationed in Mongolia, the 26th Division and the two divisions directly under the front army for this sweep."

Hearing this, the entire combat hall was in an uproar.

It is too exaggerated to use the 11th Division to besiege a brigade of the Eighth Route Army.

Miji Oshiro said, "I am the first to come. I don't know much about the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army in northwest Shanxi, but I still know some military knowledge. The 386th Brigade is just a brigade of the Eighth Route Army. No matter how strong its combat effectiveness is, it is not necessary for the Imperial Army to mobilize the troops of the 11th Division to siege, right?"

"Yes." Okamura Yasuji also said, "In the Battle of Songhu, facing the elite 700,000 national troops, the Imperial Army only mobilized nine divisions, and then there was the Battle of Wuhan. In the face of more than one million national troops, the Imperial Army only concentrated eleven divisions, but now they have to concentrate eleven divisions against a brigade of the Eighth Route Army. Doesn't Mo Jun feel too extravagant?"

Obviously, Okamura Yasuji also felt that it was too extravagant to concentrate ten divisions to deal with the 386th Brigade.

Ai Shi Jingsan asked, "Your General is worried that too many divisions will waste materials?"

"Isn't it?" Ogito Mijido, "If eleven divisions join the battle, they need eleven divisions to compete in the battle. If only four divisions join the battle, they only need 4 divisions to compete in the battle."

"Hasn't your Excellency the Chief of Staff ever thought about another point?" said Aoshikori. "If four divisions cannot complete the task within one month, you need to add four divisions to the battle. If eleven divisions participate in the battle, the battle may end within half a month, and then you only need to consume less than five divisions to the battle."

"How come Aimo Jun is sure that the four divisions cannot complete the task within one month?" Miji Ogito retorted, "Maybe the four divisions can complete the task within half a month? Then it only requires two divisions to consume combat supplies, and there is no need to use five divisions to fight, right?"

"Then let's do a war chess performance." Akimo Jingsan said with a smile, "I'll command the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army."

"Okay, then I will command the North China Front Army." Mizhi Ogito said in his heart that he was worried about how to establish his prestige. Since you came here by yourself, I won't be polite to you.

After pausing, he asked Okamura again, "Your Excellency, you won't disagree, do you?"

"I have no objection." Okamura Niji waved his hand and said, "I can't wait to see your wonderful performance, so prepare for war games quickly."

At this time, several staff officers in the combat class had already brought out war games.
