    Everyone looked up and found that the person speaking was actually the commander of the First Army, Lieutenant General Shinozuka Yoshio, and they all fixed their sights on him!

    "Shinozuka-kun, if you have any ideas, please tell me!"

    For Yoshio Shinozuka, Shun Tada still values ????him very much!

    ??Yoshio Shinozuka is different from most Japanese military officers today. This man is a truly handsome man with excellent emotional intelligence, qualifications, and strength, and is fully capable of reaching the high position of general.

    Although Shinozuka Yoshio's rank and position are now slightly inferior to Tada Shun's, Tada Shun does not dare to neglect such a potential subordinate.

    "Your Excellency, Commander, I believe that the army at Zhongtiao Mountain that the front army should deal with most at present is the army in Zhongtiao Mountain, not Shandong or Mongolia!" Shinozuka Yoshio said.

    "Oh, tell me your reasons!"

    "Your Excellency, Commander, let's talk about the Shandong battlefield first! The chaos in Shandong is not just a day or two. Shandong has been unrest since the 14th year of Showa. Especially after the strong rise of Li Guoyao's troops, the situation in Shandong has become worse day by day.  Corruption, now there are not only the Nasulu War Zone, Li Guoyao's headquarters, and Tubal Road in Shandong, but also a mysterious and powerful guerrilla force. The total number of these troops is probably 20 to 300,000."

    Then Shinozuka Yoshio said again: "Moreover, these troops are very secretive. Except for the counties in southwestern Shandong, it is difficult for us to know where their main troops are."

    "If you want to solve such a powerful and secretive branch/that army, it cannot be solved by dispatching three or five divisions, especially not in a short time. Therefore, this does not meet the requirements of the dispatched army headquarters.  ."

    Tada Jun nodded and said: "Yo Xi, this is what I am worried about. Judging from the previous battles, even if the imperial army can really invest 100,000 troops, it may not be able to solve the chaos in Shandong in a short time.  "

    At this time, Naosaburo Okabe asked: "Why does Mr. Shinozuka think that the front army is not suitable to take action in the Mongolian area? Please explain clearly!"

    Yoshio Shinozuka was not pretentious and said directly: "It goes without saying that the importance of the Mongolian region is, but as Okabe-kun said just now, the troops in the Mongolian region are small in number and weak in strength, so they are not worth using too much.  of the imperial army.¡±

    "Secondly, the Mongolian area is vast and sparsely populated. The army is familiar with the terrain and is relatively dispersed. Even if the Imperial Japanese Army dispatches 100,000 or 200,000 troops, it may not be able to hunt down the people."

    "Finally, the Mongolian Xinjiang region is one of the areas where ethnic groups are concentrated. For those Mongolians, we cannot treat those Mongolians like we did with the ethnic minorities in the pass, otherwise it will cause a lot of unnecessary trouble."

    Jun Tada asked in a deep voice: "Since Mr. Shinozuka thinks these places are not suitable, why is southern Shanxi suitable for front army operations?"

    Yoshio Shinozuka immediately replied: "First of all, let's talk about the geographical location of Zhongtiao Mountain. Zhongtiao Mountain starts from Yongji in southern Shanxi and faces Shaanxi in the west. It ends in Jiyuan and Meng County in northern Henan in the east and is connected to Taihang Mountain. In the north, it is known as the granary of Shanxi.  The Yuncheng Basin is adjacent to the rolling Yellow River in the south. The territory is crisscrossed with ravines, undulating mountains, overlapping passes, and rich in mineral deposits. Zhongtiao Mountain is at the corner of each other with Taihang, Luliang and Taiyue Mountains, and its strategic position is very important."

    "As the main passes in Shanxi were successively captured by the imperial army, the Z/N army retreated to Zhongtiao Mountain, and its strategic position became increasingly important. For China, by occupying it, it could be used as a base to control northern Henan and Shanxi.  To the south, we can shield Luoyang and Tongguan. If we advance, we can disrupt the enemy's rear and contain the Japanese troops; if we retreat, we can rely on danger to defend, actively defend, and cooperate with the entire anti-Japanese battlefield."

    "As far as the Japanese side is concerned, if they get it, they will occupy an important "bridgehead" for the invasion from the south to the north. They can not only cross the river and go south, visit the Longhai Sea, and invade the Central Plains! They can also go north to connect with their main occupied areas in Shanxi and relieve the troubles of their confidants.  , to improve the security situation in the occupied areas of North China. Therefore, the Zhongtiao Mountain area has become the focus of competition between the two sides!"

    As soon as he finished speaking, Lieutenant General Iida Sadagu said in a deep voice: "Of course there is no need to mention the geographical location and strategic position of Zhongtiao Mountain, but as far as I know, although the Zhongtiao Mountain area is located in Shanxi Province, it is not in Jinsui.  The defense area of ??the army is not under the jurisdiction of Yan Xishan¡¯s Second War Zone. The Central Army of the Chinese government is stationed here, and in terms of war zone division, it belongs to the First War Zone of which Wei Lihuang is the commander-in-chief.¡±

    "And since the 13th year of Showa, in order to reduce frontal losses, the Chi/N armies in Shanxi dispersed hundreds of thousands of troops in the southern Shanxi area, built fortifications, and carried out guerrilla operations. Now those Chi/N armies have become  If the weather changes, even if the Japanese Imperial Army concentrates a large number of troops, they will not be sure of victory!"

    Iida Sadagu¡¯s words quickly resonated with other Japanese officers, and the Chinese army withdrew to southern Shanxi centered on Zhongtiao Mountain.Later, the Japanese army assembled troops to attack southern Shanxi many times.  In just two years, the Japanese army launched 11 crazy attacks on Zhongtiao Mountain, but they were all repelled by the Chinese army.

    In order to capture southern Shanxi, the Japanese army spent a lot of money, not only mobilizing heavy troops, but also dispatching aircraft and artillery to cooperate, but they still failed to capture southern Shanxi.

    Yoshio Shinozuka smiled and said: "In the past, the Imperial Army of Japan was indeed not sure of victory, but this time, the Imperial Army's chance of winning is more than 80%!"

    "Nani, are you kidding me, Shinozuka-kun?" Iida Sadagogi asked in surprise.

    "How could I joke about something like this?"

    Tada Shun said in a deep voice: "Shinozuka-kun, tell me your reasons!"

    "Hai!"

    Then Shinozuka Yoshio said loudly: "Gentlemen: The reason why we say that the Imperial Army is certain to win this battle is mainly based on the conclusion drawn from part of the intelligence we have!"

    "What information actually gave your First Army such strong confidence?" Naosaburo Okabe asked immediately.

    Yoshio Shinozuka said immediately: "The first piece of information is that the national army in Nakatiao Mountain has made major adjustments. The Fourth Army Group, known as the iron pillar of Nakatiao Mountain, has been transferred away from Nakatiao Mountain.  The number of defenders dropped from 240,000 to 180,000."

    "And the army seems to be 180,000 people. In fact, 1/3 of the people are doing business, 1/3 of the people are farming, and only 1/3 is training. So only these 60,000 people actually have combat effectiveness.  people."

    "Nani, is it true that Sun Weiru was transferred away from Zhongtiao Mountain?" Tada Shun asked in surprise.

    For this Chinese local force, all the senior officers of the entire North China Front Army are very familiar with it!

    Sun Weiru is one of the leaders of the Shaanxi Army. After the Xi'an Incident, Yang Hucheng was forced to go abroad for inspection and was imprisoned after returning to China. Yang's 17th Route Army was reorganized into the 38th Army and Sun Weiru served as the commander.

    Led by Sun Weiru, this group of Shaanxi soldiers participated in the battles of Baoding and Xinkou. After the camp director in Xi'an, Jiang Dingwen, panicked and fled to Sichuan with his family.  Sun's unit was reorganized from the 38th Army into the 31st Army. Sun was appointed as the Army Commander and was ordered to go to Zhongtiao Mountain in southern Shanxi to fight against the Japanese army.

    Soon after, the 31st Army Corps was changed into the Fourth Army Group, with Sun Weiru as commander-in-chief.

    In the next two years, the Japanese army mobilized heavy troops to attack Zhongtiao Mountain 11 times, but they were all repelled by Sun Weiru's Fourth Army.

    Among these 11 battles, the Liuliu Battle and the Battle of Wang Yuan were the most tragic. At that time, there was a saying in Zhongtiao Mountain: "As long as Sun Weiru is here, the Japanese will not even think about occupying Zhongtiao Mountain." This also made Sun Weiru's local reputation more and more popular.  Therefore, the Shaanxi Army won the title of "Iron Pillar of Zhongtiao Mountain".

    If Sun Weiru¡¯s troops are really transferred, then the chances of winning this battle are indeed very high!

    "Your Excellency, Commander, the intelligence has been confirmed. The Shaanxi Army Sun Weiru's unit has indeed been transferred. The national army defense in the Zhongtiao Mountain area is extremely empty!" Shinozuka Yoshio said.

    "Why? Didn't those people realize the importance of Nakajo Mountain, or did they think it was impossible for the Imperial Japanese Army to take action at this time?" Tada Shun asked.

    "According to the information we received, because Sun's prestige was rising, he was jealous of Jiang, and because Sun Weiru was close to the Eighth Route Army, Jiang transferred Sun Weiru's Fourth Army away from Zhongtiao Mountain."

    "Youxi, that person is destroying the Great Wall. God bless the imperial army!" Tada Shun said overjoyed.

    At this time, Shinozuka Yoshio said again: "In addition to the transfer of the Sun Division, our intelligence personnel also discovered that the army at Zhongtiao Mountain underestimated the enemy and a large part of the army actually sold food and tobacco during the garrison.  Zhongtiao Mountain became a place for business, and the combat effectiveness of the army was very poor."

    "And because each unit has been stationed for a long time without changing camps, the intelligence personnel of the Imperial Army have a clear understanding of the situation of each legion. Even the spies of the Imperial Army have mixed into one/that army. As long as the war starts, I will not be able to do it for at least an hour.  One army can paralyze all the command systems of the Chinese army,"

    "The other armies are not fully prepared for battle. As long as the imperial army gathers three to five divisions and then formulates a reasonable battle plan, there will be almost no problem in defeating the armies in Zhongtiao Mountain."

    As soon as he finished speaking, Tada Shun clapped his hands and stood up and said: "Hey! Shinozuka-kun's analysis is very reasonable, and the two armies of Zhongtiao Mountain directly contain the 36th and Yuncheng troops stationed in Changzhi, southern Shanxi.  37. If the three divisions of the 41st Linfen can annihilate these two group armies, the three divisions in southern Shanxi can be used as mobile troops to concentrate their forces against the Chinese/Native armies in North China. This will not only make the North China's  The security situation has improved and it can increase pressure on Chongqing."

    "So, I decided to concentrate the superior forces against the army in Zhongtiao Mountain and launch the Shannan Campaign. Let's discuss the specific battle plan. Shinozuka-kun, tell me what you think"
