All gods, the lord who started with the bright sword

The high-level talents in the staff office Lu Da are alive and well, and they are not weaker than Juan Wang in [-] a hundred years later.

All night long.

Two thick battle plans were handed over to Chief of Staff Jiro Kikuta.

Kikuta Jiro read it in detail with no expression on his face, just to understand the two plans, so that the commander would not be ignorant when asked.

As for the content of the two combat plans, he did not show any obvious preference.

The General Staff is the brains of the army, responsible for the design and execution of the plan.

The final decision must be made by the coach, and Jiro Kikuta, as the chief of staff, is just a tool of the coach.

With two reports in hand, he came to the commander's office.

After Kikuta Jiro knocked on the door and was allowed to enter, he saw the intelligence officer Nishimura Shou who was reporting to work.

Gordon said in his heart: "This guy won't have any bad news, will he?"

It was a series of bad news yesterday that left a deep impression on Kikuta Jiro.

Nishimura Shou's performance of bringing good news before was completely wiped out in his impression.

From the expression on the Commander's face, it was hard to tell whether it was good or bad.

Kikuta Jiro didn't have time to understand, Nishimura Kotoshi seemed to have finished his report, nodded to him, turned and left.

"Shou Nishimura didn't bring me bad news today." Shojiro Iida relieved his worries in one sentence,
"I don't know if you brought me good news or bad news?"

Jiro Kikuta corrected his attitude, and respectfully handed the two reports to His Excellency the Lieutenant General, and said, "That's up to you to decide. I only brought two battle plans from the General Staff Office."

"Two plans? Then I'll take a closer look."

Shojiro Iida took the document, pointed to the chair opposite, and signaled the chief of staff to take care of himself.

He put on his reading glasses and opened the reading plan book calmly.

On top of this is the active offensive plan proposed by the radicals.

The core of the strategy: Taking advantage of the time when the enemy has just received the weapon and has not immediately converted it into combat power, the large corps attack and kill the enemy in the bud.

Multiple deployments proposed around the core of the strategy.

Including the deployment of additional air force and army heavy artillery units, and the assembly of three divisions to attack from different directions.

Shojiro Iida frowned, thinking that this was an unrealistic empty talk.

Equipped with a large number of chariots, the Sichuan Army is like cavalry, possessing excellent mobility and assault forces.

The soldiers of the three divisions still rely on their legs to maneuver, pure infantry.

How did cavalry beat infantry in classical warfare? Haven't they learned it?

Once the imperial army takes the initiative to attack, the enemy will never stop harassing the marching troops, and they can also cut off the logistics supply line on the road, and concentrate their forces in one place to encircle and annihilate.

It's a completely passive situation.

Do these high-achieving students from mainland China expect the enemy to stay there, waiting for seven to eighty thousand people to surround them and destroy them?

If you attack for the sake of attacking, you are a fool brainwashed by attacking.

Shojiro Iida looked at the second report again, which was given by the pessimists.

The core of the strategy: shrinking troops, relying on naval ships and cannons, sticking to Yangon, and ensuring that the Yunnan-Myanmar Highway is cut off at a minimum.

After all, Yangon is the port of entry for British and American material aid.

Cutting off here can still guarantee the Huaxia battlefield. Chongqing, which insists on not surrendering, lacks supplies, and the war potential is further weakened.

The plan detailed the various preparations for the defensive battle.

Completely build the Yangon design into a fortress and become a hard bone that is difficult to chew off.

Iida Shojiro thinks this plan is reasonable.

No matter how mobile the chariot is, it will not be able to circle behind Yangon and encircle them.

Arranging large-caliber artillery on the fortress can effectively threaten the enemy's heavy tanks, and it is difficult to fight back without being beaten.

Enemies have heavy bazookas, they have battleship heavy caliber guns.

Only the air force is unknown, and it is not known whether the imperial air force can hold the sky.

Anyway, relying on the defense of the fortress in the land battle, the advantages that the Sichuan Army now has will be offset by more than half.

It is very beneficial to the imperial army.

But making this decision is not good for policymakers.

Shojiro Iida has been influenced by his father since he was a child, and he knows the atmosphere in the military very well.

To put it bluntly, it is brave, but to put it bluntly, it is brainless.

Nogi Noki, who invented the pig sudden tactics and sent tens of thousands of soldiers to the grave, was actually regarded as the god of war.

It's ridiculous, sad, and deplorable!
Shojiro Iida is quite disdainful of this kind of atmosphere. It can be seen from his past experience in commanding operations that he advocates using wisdom to resolve wars.

Fighting a war is not a one-headed rush, but wisdom.

Far away, the atmosphere of advocating offense in the army certainly inspired the soldiers in the army to fight bravely and not fear death.

But it also means that it is impossible to back down.

Especially in the case of such a disparity in the ratio of troops, facing [-] enemies, the [-] army actually retreated and defended.

What would the lower-ranking officers and soldiers think when they found out?
They will not consider that offense is difficult to achieve, only defense can hold on for a while and look for first-line opportunities.

They will only complain secretly: the superior who gave the order is an idiot, an idiot.

Shojiro Iida felt that everything was to blame for making the decision. Of course, it is not ruled out that someone would jump out, shout "Tianzhu country thief", and shoot him twice.

The dream of a soldier who had been taught to be brave all his life collapsed, and the hearts of the people below were floating.

The top is not much better.

The established strategy could not be completed, and a huge price was paid but nothing was gained.

Everything needs someone to take responsibility and take the blame.

Even if the enemy's strength is unexpected and not within the prediction, it cannot be resolved with hard work.

But the scapegoat should be borne and must be borne,
This point is not discussed, whoever will be the commander of the No.15 Army will be the king of blame.

Iida Shojiro's eyes piercing through time and space have already seen the ending. Of course, he doesn't want the bomb to explode in his hands and put himself in a mess.

He raised his head and asked Kikuta Jiro: "Only these two reports, are there any more?"

"Yes, but it's not a battle plan, it's a report written with a detailed understanding of the Sichuan Army."

The chief of staff took out the Sichuan Army report submitted by Takeuchi Lianshan this morning, and introduced the situation of Takeuchi Lianshan in detail.

Among the Fifteenth Army, he is the one who knows the military capabilities of the Sichuan Army best.

The evaluation given by Chief of Staff Kikuta was quite high, but it aroused the interest of Shojiro Iida, who took the report and read it carefully with the Fuzheng presbyopic glasses.

The content of the report is only about ten pages, only one-tenth of the thickness of the two battle plans.

But Shojiro Iida took twice as long to finish watching. He took off his reading glasses and sighed:

"This man is a man of action. If he loses the battle, it can't be blamed for his lack of ability. It's just bad luck!"

Kikuta Jiro thinks the same, no matter who is in the position of Takeuchi Lianshan, he will not do better than him.

On the contrary, from the repeated setbacks, you can also cheer up and summarize the reasons for the failure.

Already has a very good quality.

From an objective evaluation, Takeuchi Lianshan is more responsible than most of the staff in the staff office.

He should not have been buried.

It's just that the responsibility involved in Takeuchi Lianshan is heavy, and it's not related to him, so Kikuta Jiro can't afford to speak up for him, or he might get himself burned.

It was Jiro Kikuta who was able to hand over the report to the commander's desk.

"Commander, which strategic direction do you think we should choose?"

Going back to the beginning, Kikuta Jiro asked.
