Chapter 256
I can do it

why···

Looking at the Eighth Route Army soldiers with guns and ammunition in front of them, and listening to the unfamiliar stern voice, Major General Watanabe, the head of the No. 20 Ninth Infantry Brigade, looked a little dazed.

He is in the military academy, although he is only a few periods away from Seishiro Sakagaki
But Major General Watanabe knew that he was far behind Sakagaki,
Whether it was his academic performance during the military academy, his network background, or his military command ability, he was far inferior.

A simple fact.

Now he is just a rare brigade commander, Seishiro Sakagaki has served as Minister Lu, and became the group of people at the highest level of the empire.

Even Kazuki Yamamoto is not as good as him,
If it wasn't for Kazuki Yamamoto's brains, to study special operations, and to study in Germany for this reason, and even criticized the high-level precision combat policy many times, I am afraid that the lieutenant general would have been the head of the division long ago.

But even so, he has now become the chief of staff of the First Army. Although he is only a senior officer, he has more power and voice than him, and he will have more benefits than him.

By contrast,

He was promoted to major general in 38 years and served as the head of the No.20 Ninth Brigade.

In the same year, the locust army captured Yangquan along the Zhengtai line and took Taiyuan directly. The main attack was the No.20 Ninth Infantry Brigade under his command.

This credit, whether it is big or small, is not small.

Although Colonel Watanabe was very unwilling, he was also very self-aware.

He knew that for him who lacked background and military ability, there was only one possibility for him to be promoted to lieutenant general - posthumously.

The empire likes this kind of lieutenant general the most.

It is cheap and saves money, and it can also stimulate the morale of grassroots soldiers and officers.

But he doesn't like it.

Therefore, after taking Taiyuan and stopping the offensive, he used his few connections to plan an errand.

Stationed in Yangquan.

As an important city on the Zhengtai line, the garrison Yangquan is a real fat difference.

With just a little stretch of your finger, you can make a lot of money, and then retire with the rank of major general, plan a leisurely job in the domestic reserve service, and spend your old age richly.

The plan is going well,

In just one year, he has already made a lot of money,

In the next few years, he had to exchange the excess for gold and silver, or other valuables, and store it in foreign banks, otherwise, even if he had the rank of major general, he would inevitably be investigated.

But the battle of Yangquan gave him a great shock.

He admitted,
There are many military talents in Tuba Road, especially the group of people in the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, whose command ability is much stronger than him.

But the battle in Yangquan had nothing to do with command at all.

The attacking Eighth Route Army had no intrigues, no intrusions, no interspersed divisions, it was a simple frontal attack, surrounded by two wings.

Even the attacking side does not have much advantage in terms of strength.

The offensive force here refers to the troops that actually attacked Yangquan City and the anti-slope positions on the surrounding two wings.

Launch an attack on the strongest position of his defense.

then,

He lost terribly,
On the first day, the urban positions and the anti-slope positions on both wings were completely destroyed. On the second and third days, the remaining more than [-] troops were wiped out, and even he himself was captured.

Yes, captured.

Although according to common sense, he should commit seppuku, Major General Watanabe thought about it with a samurai sword, then tried it with a gun, and finally decided to surrender.Surrendered with several confidants.

It is better to die than to live.

He still has such a large amount of property in foreign banks. If he dies, it will be cheaper for European and American ghosts.

As the senior officials of the Yangquan Locust Army, they knew that the Tuba Road was waiting to be captured.

Especially captives who voluntarily surrendered.

After the surrender, things were similar to what Major General Watanabe thought.

Although his actions were a bit rough, he was not abused, and his personal belongings were not confiscated by the guards. They even found a car for him and his confidants to ride in.

In the car, he looked at the Eighth Route Army outside the window, and a doubt suddenly appeared in his heart.

why···

He lost so completely?
so miserable?
The position was broken with a poke, and almost none of the [-] troops were killed in three days.

After thinking about it, Major General Watanabe felt,

It wasn't because of his improper command and loopholes in the position deployment,
In fact, the fortifications of Yangquan were designed by Shinozuka Yoshio and Yamamoto himself, drawing on the experience of the Tuba Road position in the Yangcun Campaign, and the deployment of troops and positions also came from the First Army Command.

He's just an enforcer, an overseer.

He also very much agrees with this defense system.

The enemy's attack was nothing special either, he didn't catch anyone by surprise, he didn't find any loopholes in his defense system, and the attack method was also upright, directly attacking from the front, where Yangquan's defense was strongest.

He failed because the enemy was too powerful.

He was so powerful that he didn't rely on any tactics and directly attacked from the front, and he didn't block it even once.

The hard-working fortifications have been bombarded by the enemy, and the layers of trench bunkers, tunnels, and reverse slope positions have also been smashed by more than a dozen tanks.

Expendables, dynamite kits, anti-aircraft guns... All the means are used, just to blow up the enemy tank track once?
That kind of tank is too powerful, with fierce firepower, thick armor, and incredible mobility.

In the mountains, all move freely.

The ambushes in the tunnel were scattered by the tanks as soon as they came out, and even the commanding heights on the top of the mountain were also destroyed by the tanks.

"This is the battle that suits me!"

Major General Watanabe sighed inwardly.

In this battle, he can go up to him.

You don't need to use your brain at all, just give the order to attack.

"pity··"

Major General Watanabe clicked his tongue, feeling a little regretful.

If he can command such an army, even if the tanks are not so advanced, he can ride on the head of Seishiro Sakagaki. The so-called steel army is just that the enemy is too weak.

Facing the real torrent of steel, Seishiro Sakagaki is a piece of wood.

···
"Major General Watanabe?"

At the same time, Yang Cheng.

With the expansion of Yangcun, the engineering battalion, with the support of Boss Mo, directly pushed mountains to level the land, built roads, and Yangcun became Yangcheng.

The resident population has grown to 10,000+.

If Luojiawan is included, the resident population is more than 40.

A new, more prosperous mountain city is rising.

At this time, a topic was being discussed in a conference room in Yangcheng.

"Yes, this is the person."

The person who organized the meeting said:

"Intelligence has been investigating this man for a long time."

"This person is old, and he is from the same period as Seishiro Sakagaki, but his military ability is mediocre, and he has no background. After he was stationed in Yangquan, he was focused on making money."

"Is it ok?"

Someone asked:

"Such a person, although it is convenient to control, but..."

"Definitely no problem."

Someone said with conviction:

"As long as you kill all your competitors, even a pig can rise to the top."

"Makes sense..."

In the conference room, everyone nodded in unison.

Even if, Boss Mo no longer gives weapons to the troops.

but,
With the twice-sonic 'Phenom' fighter, the '72' main battle tank, the 'Black Hawk' helicopter and, in the not-too-distant future, the 'Scud'.

And this time next year, a million-ton super-advanced industrial zone will be in hand.

The devils who can also be beaten by the army knelt down and begged for mercy.

···
"Chu Yunfei, what do you want to do?"

The head of the [-]th Regiment of the Jinsui Army looked at the dozen or so large boxes of silver dollars that Chu Yunfei had brought over, as well as a stack of silver dollar checks from the bank in the base area.

The [-]th regiment suddenly withdrew from the original station and came to station beside his regiment.

Then, when the troops of the two sides came into contact, Chu Yunfei gave silver dollars to the soldiers under his command with great fanfare, almost causing his regiment to lose control on the spot.

As soon as he took control of the situation, Chu Yunfei came to his door, carried a dozen boxes of silver dollars to his regiment headquarters, and even without his consent, said that he would pay the [-]th regiment military pay.

Sounds like a good thing,

But after the loss of Taiyuan, the Jinsui Army has been short of pay for a long time, not to mention his [-]th Regiment, even the [-]th Regiment, which Chief Yan regards as his confidant, has never paid enough.

suddenly,

Chu Yunfei took out 10,000+ silver dollars and wanted to give his whole regiment this month's military salary...

simply,
Heart of Sima Zhao!
It's obvious!

If it wasn't Chu Yunfei on the opposite side, if the [-]th regiment wasn't right across from him, he would have arrested Chu Yunfei on the spot, or even shot him to death.

"What?"

Chu Yunfei didn't seem to notice that the head of the [-]th Regiment touched the gun handle on his waist, and still smiled and said:

"how?"

"Brothers and the devils are desperately defending their homes and the country. I can't make up for the brothers' military salary?"

"I also plan to let the brothers eat and drink well in the future, and there will be meat in every meal!"

"Are you capable of paying the military salary every month?"

"Do you have meat every day?"

The head of the [-]th regiment sneered:
"Not only our two regiments, but the entire Jinsui Army, and even other troops including the Sichuan Army?"

"of course can."

After a few seconds of silence, Chu Yunfei answered calmly.

Li Yunlong agreed, 5000 million silver dollars per month, [-] tons of various grain and ammunition,
Package shipping.

To achieve this, there is no difficulty in material.

But even if the supplies are sufficient and transportation is not a problem, it is still difficult to achieve full monthly military pay and to feed and drink enough for the soldiers.

Because moths are everywhere.

Faced with more than 100 million silver dollars, he, Chu Yunfei, would inevitably have ideas, let alone other people?

This is also where Chu Yunfei marveled at Li Yunlong and his group.

The sudden acquisition of such a huge amount of materials did not lead to large-scale chaos. Instead, strict rules and regulations were formulated and strictly enforced.

Simply incredible.

Although in the conversation with Li Yunlong, he knew that he had borrowed the strength and experience of the donors, invited external supervisory forces, and formulated rules and regulations with reference to mature institutional systems.

However, Chu Yunfei still feels extremely incredible that a large force with a scale of one million people in the rapid expansion stage can still achieve self-improvement.

He doesn't know if he can do it.

But it has to work.

A sharp light flashed in Chu Yunfei's pupils.
