Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 1150 Buying People's Hearts (First Update!)

At the headquarters of the Japanese Army Division in Linfen City, more than 100 kilometers away, since the end of the battle, Lieutenant General Ito locked himself in the headquarters and did not come out behind closed doors. At the same time, no one was allowed to approach the headquarters.

Everyone thought that when the head of the division was reflecting on and summarizing the failed anti-sweep in the office, only the chief of staff knew that the head of the division no longer needed to summarize.

In such a big defeat, no matter how strong the background of the division head is, it is impossible to stay in the position of division head.

At this time, the head of the division must have locked himself in the room, trying to find a way to reduce the punishment of his superiors.

In just two days, a group of military police from the headquarters of the front army appeared at the entrance of the division headquarters, along with a lieutenant general officer.

"Where is your division commander, Lieutenant General Ito?" Walking into the headquarters, the lieutenant general asked the chief of staff.

"In my office, I haven't come out for two days!" The chief of staff replied in a low voice with his head down.

The front army headquarters and even the military police have been dispatched. If nothing else, there will definitely be some major changes in the division headquarters!
"Go, go directly to Lieutenant General Ito's office, and you lead the way!" the lieutenant general ordered without even looking at the chief of staff in front of him.

The strength shown by the lieutenant general made the chief of staff very dissatisfied, but the level difference between himself and him was too far, no matter how dissatisfied he could only keep it in his heart.

Walking to the door of the division head's office, just as he was about to knock on the door, the lieutenant general who followed behind stopped him.

With a wave of his hand, two gendarmes appeared next to the chief of staff and retreated directly to the door.

The scene that surprised the chief of staff appeared. Lieutenant General Ito was kneeling in the middle of the office, with a samurai sword for seppuku piercing his heart, and the military uniform on his chest was already stained red with blood...

The chief of staff hurried in and poked his nose, Lieutenant General Ito was out of breath~

Because there was still body temperature on his body, the chief of staff directly made a judgment: "General, the commander of the division has cut seppuku for less than an hour~"

"Seppuku, Ito County really chose a good result. However, compared with going to the military court, seppuku is obviously the best way out for him!"

Then he ordered the military police squadron leader behind him: "Take Lieutenant General Ito's body and return to the front army!"

After finishing speaking, he immediately ordered to the chief of staff: "You are the chief of staff of the division... Now I can tell you that I am the division chief just appointed by the front army. Now I order you to call all the commanders of Linfen City The above-mentioned officers came to the division headquarters for a meeting, and I have an order to pass on to everyone!"

In less than half an hour, more than 20 military officers, large and small, gathered in the conference room.

"Hi everyone, I am Lieutenant General Fujino, the division commander just appointed by the front army. From now on, I will be your division commander. Now, I will announce some other orders!"

"Due to the failure of the raid, the division lost too much troops. After research and decision by the front army, the division temporarily cancels the brigade organization and directly governs three infantry regiments, an artillery regiment, an engineering brigade, a heavy brigade, and a cavalry brigade. , a chariot brigade with a total strength of nearly 8000 people!"

"Now there are more than 5000 people left in the combat troops of the division and the troops directly under it, which means that the entire division is short of 3000 people and all the heavy equipment!"

"The front army will provide us with heavy equipment within one month. The lack of 3000 people will be replenished by the front army within three months. Among them, 5000 people are the local garrison troops drawn by the front army, and 8000 people are Recruits from North Korea and China!"

After Lieutenant General Fujino finished speaking, the dignified atmosphere in the conference room was not affected.

After a long time, the chief of staff said in order to ease the awkward atmosphere in the conference room: "Division commander, the entire division has 8000 people, which seems like a lot. The real combat force is 1 people."

"It takes at least 2000 people to stay in Linfen City, and the combat troops that can be used on the front line are only 1 at most. As for our opponent Xinyi Regiment, even if they suffered heavy losses in this raid, their ability to pull troops is too strong .In addition to the fact that they seized a lot of light and heavy equipment in this raid, I can be sure that they will be able to regain their combat effectiveness in at most two months."

"We have 1 people against more than 1 of them. We are definitely not opponents. Xinyituan is too cunning!"

"Fight for strength, we are indeed no match!" Lieutenant General Fujino replied directly.

"But, can we fight logistics with Xinyituan?"

"Fight logistics? How to fight?" The chief of staff asked back, frowning.

"I learned from the Front Army Command that the North China Eighth Route Army is facing an unprecedented crisis due to the large-scale drought in North China!"

"Because there is no food, the logistics pressure of all the Eighth Route Army is very heavy!"

"Combined with the economic blockade imposed on them by the Imperial Army and Chongqing, the logistical pressure on the Eighth Route Army will be even greater!"

"In order to solve this problem, many Eighth Route Army began to be self-sufficient, with better troops and simpler administration to reduce logistical pressure!"

"I believe that our opponent, the Xinyi Regiment, must face greater logistical pressure. After all, their regiment has fed more than 1 people, and they have been fighting since they were formed!"

"As for the southwestern part of Shanxi where we are located, it has also suffered an unprecedented drought, so we can definitely fight logistics with Xinyituan."

The chief of staff's eyes lit up, and he subconsciously thought of Lieutenant General Ito who had committed seppuku.

Then his eyes lit up and he analyzed: "The commander of the division is wise, our opponent Xinyi regiment is indeed facing unprecedented logistical pressure!"

Then, how Lieutenant General Ito used hundreds of thousands of people to consume the logistics pressure of the Eighth Route Army during the last raid... Tell me some ways!

"Yo Xi, in this way, the Eighth Route Army will definitely face greater logistical pressure!" Lieutenant General Fujino replied with satisfaction.

Then he continued: "Lieutenant General Ito has created such a good condition for us, we must not let it go!"

"Contact the intelligence personnel hidden in this area and encourage the Eighth Route Army to repair their burned houses. It is best to let the Eighth Route Army provide food to compensate. I will consume all the remaining food in Xinyituan's hands!"

"Without food, they have no way to recruit and expand their troops!"

"Even if it is the existing troops, they may not be able to support them. Maybe they will be like the other Eighth Route Army, streamlining their troops and simplifying their administration to reduce logistical pressure!"

"In this case, the opponent we need to face will become weaker and weaker!"

"Also, we have food in our hands. Not only can we feed all the Imperial Army troops, but we can also feed a large number of Imperial Army troops!"

"On other battlefields in North China, the Imperial Army and the Imperial Association Army basically maintain a one-to-one ratio. With the Imperial Association Army's assistance in defense, the Imperial Army can draw more troops to the front line to deal with the main force of the Eighth Route Army!"

"There is a severe drought in North China, and many ordinary people don't even have enough food to eat. If the imperial army orders new recruits in the occupied areas and reorganizes the imperial association army, I believe that the ordinary people in the occupied areas will definitely sign up enthusiastically."

"If someone joins the Imperial Army, then their family members, relatives and friends will definitely support the Imperial Army!"

"In this way, the foundation of the imperial army here will become stronger and stronger!"

"Use food to compete with the Eighth Route Army for popular support!" The chief of staff responded immediately!

"Not bad!" Lieutenant General Fujino affirmed.

"To deal with the Chinese, we must not only use the policy of iron and blood that we have been using before, but also the policy of gentleness. Only by combining with each other can we truly occupy China! This is what the Commander of the Front Army said personally!"
