Everyone left.

Yoshio Shinozuka asked Okamura Yiji in a plain tone: "Okamura Jun! Under our command, he lost 70,000 troops and lost control of the northern Shanxi region. How do you think we should explain to Chief Tada Jun this time?"

Yoshio Shinozuka is very uncomfortable now. He lost the northwest Shanxi region and his rank of lieutenant general was not lost, but he lost a lot of the rights he had. Now he lost the northern Shanxi region. If the superiors settled his responsibilities, he would likely not even be able to maintain the rank of lieutenant general.

Of course, Yoshio Shinozuka has a powerful family behind him, so he will definitely not be sent to the military court.

Okamura Yasuji thought for a long time and said, "This time, so many troops were lost and northern Shanxi was lost. We two can be said to be the main responsibility. Next, the two major families behind us must join forces. Only when the two major families behind us join forces can we escape this disaster.

Also, we can no longer lose the land in Shanxi. As long as we lose another piece of the land in Shanxi, the two of us will work together and it will be impossible for us to continue to maintain our position."

"Yes, let's contact the family behind us together, let them join forces at home, and put all the responsibility for our defeat this time on Takeshita's head."

Shinozuka Yoshio said: "This time, Tojo Hoshi will never have any responsibility. The reason why he was defeated and captured was entirely because he had too few troops under his command. At the same time, he faced five times more troops than them, and had firepower that was stronger than them, which led to his defeat and captured. We must set the tone for this matter, and at the same time, we must let the family behind us hand over to the family behind Tojo Hoshi and pull the family behind Tojo Hoshi and bring the family behind Tojo Hoshi. Only by pulling the family behind Tojo Hoshi and the two big families behind us, we will not be punished this time."

Okamura Yasuji nodded and said seriously: "That's the case! We just need to report it as it should. This matter has nothing to do with Tojo Hoshi, everything is the responsibility of Takeshita.

However, we cannot report this matter too urgently. We have to contact the family behind us first and let the family behind us contact the Tojo family first. Only when the Tojo family agrees to our conditions can our report be submitted."

Tojo Hidetsuki is the cousin of Japanese Prime Minister Hideki Tojo. As long as the Tojo family is instructed to cooperate, Okamura Yasuji and Shinozuka Yoshio will not have any responsibility. Both of them are very clear about this.

The family behind Takeshita Toichi was extremely weak and could not survive the political struggle at all. Things had reached this point, and the biggest responsibility was Takeshita Toichi. They naturally had to attribute all the responsibilities to Takeshita Toichi.

The two reached an agreement, and both smiled satisfied.

Deep in the mountains!

Command room of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters.

Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the General Staff, Commander of the 115th Division, Commander of the 120th Division, and Commander of the 129th Division, and Five people gathered together.

The deputy commander-in-chief said, "Call everyone here today! It is to explore the development strategies of our Eighth Route Army next.

Let’s see if our Eighth Route Army wants to continue to attack the Jinzhong, southern and southern regions occupied by the Japanese army. Or should we develop the newly occupied northern and northern regions for a period of time before continuing to advance to the other three regions. If you have any ideas, you can speak freely."

The commander of the 129th Division took the lead and said, "I think we should develop for a period of time first, strive to completely take control of the northern Shanxi region in our hands, and then launch an attack on the Japanese army.

If we are anxious to launch an attack on the Japanese army now, the Japanese army will inevitably fight back with all their might, and may even mobilize troops from several surrounding provinces, or may mobilize troops from the front line to support Shanxi, which will make us very passive."

With the experience of steady and steady action in the northwest Shanxi, the commander of the 129th Division has completely fallen in love with the steady and steady action in the first place. He feels that it will be much easier to completely control the northern Shanxi region first and then attack against other regions.

The commander of the 120th Division said: "I don't agree with Lao Liu's opinion! I think we should fight to the Jinzhong area as soon as possible, and at the same time, and fight to the southern part of Jinzhong area, completely restore the Jinzhong area and the southern part of Jin in the shortest time, and then launch a war against southeastern Jin, and finally completely take down Taiyuan City in Shanxi, and completely take over the entire Shanxi in the hands of our Eighth Route Army. Now the Japanese army's troops in Shanxi are extremely empty, and our troops in Shanxi are extremely huge. We are fully capable of achieving this.

Steady advancement has certain benefits and can make our foundation more solid. However, the Japanese army's troops in Shanxi are extremely empty. This opportunity will never be given to us. As long as we stop the attack, we will mobilize a large number of troops to enter the southeastern Jinzhong region of Jinzhong region. At that time, it will be greatly difficult for us to completely recover Shanxi. Over time, the Japanese army may also concentrate superior forces and attack our northwest and northern Jinzhong regions. At that time, we will be more passive."

The commander of the 115th Division said: "I agree with Lao Liu's view! We can first stabilize the northern Shanxi region, and then find the right opportunity to recover the Jinzhong region, southern Shanxi region, and southeastern Shanxi. I have also thought about the way to restore the lost territory. I will directly send Xiao Zhao to the southeastern Shanxi region, which is our weakest, so that he can arm the Eighth Route Army in the southeastern Shanxi region. After it develops, we can cooperate with Xiao Zhao to attack the Jinzhong region, southern Shanxi and Taiyuan City on three sides, thereby recovering the entire Shanxi in one fell swoop.

With Xiao Zhao's development speed, he can develop 10,000 people in a month. As long as we cooperate fully in the southeastern Shanxi, we can definitely do it easily. As long as we do not act against the Japanese army for the time being and the Japanese army does not feel enough crisis, they will definitely not be able to draw too many troops to reach Shanxi. They will wait to draw troops from their nests. In this way, the Japanese army will never be able to reach a month, and we will not face too many Japanese army at that time."

All three teachers and commanders expressed their views!

The deputy commander-in-chief looked at the deputy chief of staff and said in a plain tone: "Old Zuo! What do you think of the strategies of the three of them?"

The Deputy Chief of Staff said: "I personally prefer Lao Lin's strategic policy. If Xiao Zhao can really pull up 10,000 troops in the southeastern Shanxi in one month, we will have a thorough attack on three sides, and the pressure to recover Shanxi will be greatly reduced.

But there will be two problems if we really do this. The first question is whether Xiao Zhao can grow to a 10,000 troops within a month. If he cannot do this, the difficulty of restoring the entire Shanxi in a month will be greatly increased. If he can do this, the difficulty of restoring Shanxi in a month will be greatly reduced. The second question is whether the Japanese army will increase troops on a large scale in Shanxi in a month? It may even lose the battlefield on the front line and directly increase troops to Shanxi."

Hearing that the Deputy Chief of Staff agreed with his opinion, the commander of the 115th Division was naturally very happy. The commander of the 115th Division looked at the deputy commander-in-chief. He wanted to see what the deputy commander-in-chief had. If the deputy commander-in-chief had the same opinion as him, then this matter would be at the verge of finalization.

The deputy commander-in-chief said: "I personally agree with Lao Lin's strategic policy! Because I have also thought about such a strategic policy. Zhao Xin is a rare talent. He can quickly develop a force anywhere, and it is an iron-clad force. There is no doubt that our troops in the southeastern Jin will not exceed 5,000 people, but as long as the surname Zhao is sent to the southeastern Jin, with his ability to develop to 10,000 people in a month, it is no problem. He can also solve the equipment of the troops."

The commander of the 129th Division said: "If Xiao Zhao is allowed to develop into the southeast region and then attack the Japanese troops in Shanxi from three sides, I will have no comment after waiting for the last month."

As the most capable general of the commander of the 129th Division, Zhao Xin can be said to be the one who believes in Zhao Xin's ability the most.

The deputy commander-in-chief said: "Oh! It seems that I don't need to persuade Lao Liu anymore. Everyone's opinions on this matter were directly unified.

Since we have formulated a strategic policy, let’s discuss the implementation details of the strategic policy and take a look at how to perfect this strategic policy to the best?”

The commander of the 129th Division said: "If you want to use this strategic policy, first of all, we have to ask Zhao Xin for his opinion. Although I believe Zhao Xin will definitely take on our mission, we must let him know the seriousness of this mission and see if he is absolutely sure. Secondly, we must send people to contact Okamura Nagasumi. The reason is to use prisoners of war to exchange some money for Okamura Nagasumi to purchase weapons and equipment, and at the same time delay Okamura Nagasumi's time to dispatch troops to Shanxi. It is a matter of killing two birds with one stone. The last and most serious point is that we must arrange heavy troops at some checkpoints and build a large number of permanent fortifications so that we can block the Japanese army from sending reinforcements to Shanxi when restoring the entire Shanxi."

The deputy commander-in-chief smiled and said, "These three suggestions made by Lao Liu are very good. I have sent him a telegram to that boy Zhao Xin. He will be able to arrive at our headquarters within today. At that time, I personally ask him if he can develop into a 10,000-man army in the southeastern Shanxi region within a month?

We have two lieutenant general division commanders, four major general brigade commanders, nine Japanese colonels, and six Japanese central sects. We can use these people to negotiate with the Japanese army. The Japanese army has already plundered enough treasures on our land of China. It is indeed time for them to spit out some of them. When they spit out some treasures, it is indeed a good thing to be able to get out of the Japanese army's sight. This matter is done by Lao Liu, you personally. After all, the Japanese prisoners are all in the hands of the Japanese army now.

Finally, we will make major strategic adjustments and send heavy troops to several major transportation routes in Shanxi to guard it, forming a confrontation with the Japanese army. We will definitely not allow small Japanese reinforcements to enter Shanxi easily."

While senior officers of the Eighth Route Army were discussing the matter, the person in charge of safety came to inform him that Zhao Xin had arrived at the headquarters and could wait for the summons of the head of the headquarters at any time.

The deputy commander-in-chief directly brought Zhao Xin in.

Enter the headquarters command room.

Zhao Xin saw five senior officers of the Eighth Route Army gathered together, saluted the five senior officers respectfully, and shouted loudly: "Report! Report from Zhao Xinqian, the leader of the Huben Regiment of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army."

The deputy commander-in-chief waved to Zhao Xin, called Zhao Xin to his side, and said with a smile: "Why are you so polite kid? Come and sit together quickly."

Zhao Xin said: "Deputy Commander-in-Chief! I think it's good for me to stand. With you guys sitting in this place? I will definitely be under a lot of pressure when I sit down, so it's better for me to stand."

The deputy commander-in-chief gave up a seat and directly pulled Zhao Xin to sit down. The deputy commander-in-chief said with a smile: "You kid has made so many contributions to our Eighth Route Army. If you don't give birth, then do we old guys have to stand up and stand with you?"

Hearing the words of the deputy commander-in-chief, Zhao Xin sat down honestly, but he did a very straightforward manner.

The deputy commander-in-chief patted Zhao Xin on the shoulder and said, "What are you doing so nervous? Relax.

Xiao Zhao, I came here urgently to you. There is an important task that I want you to complete. After I tell you this task, you can accept completing this task, or you can refuse to complete this task. You can make the choice freely."

Zhao Xin stood up and said, "If the deputy commander-in-chief has any tasks, just arrange them! No matter what tasks it is, I will do my best to complete them."

Zhao Xin quickly expressed his attitude.

"Okay, OK, sit down quickly! I said not to be so serious and nervous."

Zhao Xin said: "This time I want to send you to the southeastern Jin and let you bring up the Eighth Route Army in the southeastern Jin. Now there are about 5,000 local armed forces in the southeastern Jin. I want you to expand the Eighth Route Army in the southeastern Jin to more than 10,000 within one month, and at the same time shape the Eighth Route Army in the southeastern Jin into an iron-clad force. Do you have the confidence to complete this task?"

"Report to the Deputy Commander-in-Chief! I have absolute confidence to complete this task."

To develop and strengthen the troops is already Zhao Xin's specialty. Now that the Eighth Route Army is becoming more and more famous in Shanxi, it is naturally easier to develop troops. Expanding 5,000 troops in a month is completely without any problem for Zhao Xin. In this case, he naturally agreed to the task of the deputy commander-in-chief as soon as possible.
