"But we have an absolute advantage in number, and the number of Chinese soldiers is insufficient, and there is no way to supply. Although our past style of play was old, the soldiers were very adaptable. Have the general ever thought that we lost in the past because our strength is indeed not as good as our opponents, and it is not necessarily all strange tactics?" the officer insisted.

Youpeng in Shanxian was furious and said, "I went to Europe to learn tactics, learn the techniques and tactics of the new army, and observe the French-Popular War, but you don't know what you are doing! Since we know that our tactics are old, why can't we try to improve them?"

"I'm sorry, General, I'm afraid that time will be in a hurry, and the troops below will not be able to adapt for a while! Instead of doing this, it's better to adopt the original tactics?" The officer was straightforward and must persist when he thought of anything.

"The Chinese army is well-equipped, has excellent politics, has high morale, and has strong fighting will. These are objective facts. In the past, we were always used to fighting head-on with them. Now we have failed and we must never repeat the car. Therefore, this time, we have to attack Xiaguan City one by one, bypass Xiaguan City all the way, attack Beijiuzhou City, open up the important road to Jiuzhou Island, and fight with the Chinese army. Remember, we must give full play to our advantages, try to lengthen the front line, and even drag the Chinese army to death!" said Yupeng, Shanxian County, and waved his fist heavily.

Prince Chihito Arisugawa Miya was the first to applaud, and all the senior Japanese officers present also applauded. Everyone shouted loud oaths such as "Long live the Emperor, I am willing to be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor."

While the Japanese government forces were preparing for the decisive battle in full swing, Xuan Jianzhang was also convening officers at the company level and above of the First Regiment of the First Brigade of the First Field Division of the Chinese Army.

"The situation is very clear now. According to our pre-war reconnaissance, the Japanese not only updated their equipment this time, but also had more than 60,000 elite troops participating in the war. These are already all the troops that the Japanese can take out! It seems that they are going to take a gamble this time!" Xuan Jianzhang calmly analyzed the enemy situation.

The inner worry is just fleeting. This is the quality that an excellent senior commander should possess. Xuan Jianzhang and a large number of outstanding officers from the Chinese army are not famous in history other than the cute president. These are all talents used by the cute president in this life. The only more famous among them is Luo Guozhong, who is now in charge of the Siberian frontline.

Luo Guozhong's younger brother Luo Guoxiao was originally in the Mongolian Military Region. Later, the Mongolians were completely naturalized and changed to self-made by Emperor Hua to retain only a small number of police forces. Therefore, the Mongolian Military Region was abolished, leaving a small security headquarters, and Luo Guoxiao was also sent to the Beijing Military Region.

Xuan Jianzhang continued: "Yama Prefecture Atsuto and Arisugawa-Miyaki Katsuhito took the Japanese Emperor's most elite troops to the front line to find us to fight to the death. This is to kill our army at once. From the current situation and the intelligence analysis we have, I guess Ya Prefecture Atsuto will divide the troops this time. While dividing troops to attack Shiguan Castle and Kitakyushu Castle, it will raid the important roads in various places, divide our troops and give full play to their advantage of large numbers. Our total strength on the front line of Xiaguan Castle and Kitakyushu Castle is less than 4,000, of which about 500 wounded soldiers are being treated, but in fact there are less than 3,500 people. The situation is very unfavorable to us. The enemy is about 15 times that of us, so they have to disperse. We cannot be led by our noses, and we can only concentrate our forces to attack them along the way. I want to hear everyone's opinions."

Xuan Jianzhang's words are similar to those of Youpeng in Shanxian, but the most different thing is the last sentence: the traditional army, the upper class discussed the combat methods and directly conveyed them to the officers below. The Chinese army is an army led by the Huacui Party, which emphasizes democracy and likes to work together.

"The teacher's seat is of course to beat the Japanese people who could not imagine!" Chief of Staff of the Division spoke first.

Xuan Jianzhang nodded and said, "Tell me specifically."

"Teacher, what they hate most now is that if we succeed in attacking Xiaguan City, at least half of the troops will be left to attack Xiaguan City, and the remaining half will bypass Xiaguan City and attack Kitakyushu City and our various roads. According to common sense, we should take the initiative to evacuate and find an opportunity to annihilate the troops that attacked our Kitakyushu City in accordance with the previous tactics. I think they will definitely place the most well-equipped Emperor Imperial Guard between Xiaguan City and Kitakyushu City. Therefore, we should prepare as early as possible and destroy the weakest troops that attack Kitakyushu City. Or directly attack their supply line." The Chief of Staff told everyone to the map.

Xuan Jianzhang is not allowed.

The commander of the first regiment said while smoking: "Second, I think we should directly find their Emperor's Imperial Guards and annihilate them in the army. First, we can give full play to the advantages of our Chinese army's strong combat effectiveness, and second, if we directly destroy their most powerful troops, we can also destroy the Japanese's multiple attacks. But if we do this, it will be too risky and we will be surrounded by the entire army."

After hearing these two opinions, everyone whispered and talked a lot.

Xuan Jianzhang stood up, "I thought about these two possibilities in advance. The Japanese will definitely fully consider our past playing style this time and pay attention to the protection of logistics supplies. I personally prefer the second opinion. It is indeed meaningless to always pinch soft persimmons. Our supplies are limited. If we want to completely control the entire Kyushu Island in military terms, this time, we must destroy the Japanese's ability to attack again, so if we want to smash, we will smash a hard walnut! We must learn from Xiang Yu and make a big fuss!"

Everyone was surprised to hear Xuan Jianzhang say this. Xuan Jianzhang's combat style is known for his flexibility and variety, and rarely makes similar strategic arrangements. Now he is a bit like a bandit-born officer like Wang Dashan. His simple and rough combat arrangements are very different from Xuan Jianzhang's previous style.

Xuan Jianzhang smiled and said, "If we can eat the Japanese Emperor's Imperial Guard in one bite this time, even if it is surrounded, I believe that we have completely ruined the opponent's spirit. Although they have advanced armaments, in tactical use, they still remain in the combat thinking of the cold weapon era. As long as we can capture the thief and capture the king first, after that, they will definitely be in chaos and retreat to the old fighting style of drunkards fighting! A 15-fold opponent is not scary. The most important thing is that we must have the determination to defeat the enemy and have full confidence in our army. This time, we will not play according to common sense. When they start to attack the city, the first regiment of our First Brigade of the First Field Division of the Chinese Army will voluntarily withdraw from Xiaguan City, find their most elite Emperor's Imperial Guard, and smash their hardest walnut! What do you think?"

More than half of the officers supported Xuan Jianzhang's opinion. Xuan Jianzhang nodded and said, "Okay, since most people have no objections, let's get to know each other and prepare now."

"Yes, the division seat." The officers stood up and saluted.

Xuan Jianzhang also saluted everyone: "This battle is crucial, for the sake of China and for Your Majesty!"

"Defend Your Majesty to the death and defend China to the death!" The officers replied passionately.

Three days later, the entire Japanese army launched, and the Japanese government troops that set out first to move around.

Prince Chiren of Yutoto and Sugawa Palace in Yama County personally saw him off.

Yama Prefecture Akito said to Oyama Iwaki, the commander of the Emperor's Imperial Guard,: "You are holding the biggest ace of our Japanese Army. This time, you must not disappoint His Majesty and His Highness the Prince."

Oyama Iron saluted Prince Chiren of Arisugawa and Aritomoto Yama Prefecture, "Your Highness, General, please rest assured. I will never let His Majesty down! This time, I will either capture Xuan Jianzhang alive or kill Xuan Jianzhang!"

Prince Chihitomiya Arisugawa said happily: "Okay, I have ambition. I like to hear such words, but Oyama, I hope this sentence will not become a bragging."

"Absolutely not!" Dashanyan said with a serious look on his face: "Please rest assured Your Highness the Prince!"
