    No matter how beautiful human beings' wishes are, the wheel of history is always far away from happiness. As a time traveler, Wang Zhenyu has now completely integrated into this era. In his eyes, there is no peace anymore. What he wants is unity and strength.  In the General Staff Headquarters of the Northern Expeditionary Army in Xuzhou, Bai Chongxi leaned against his desk according to his own habit, his eyes motionless as he looked at the military map on the backboard. Naturally, he was concerned about the busy staff officers coming in and out behind him.  Turn a blind eye.  War preparations in the Shandong area have already begun. The Ministry of Armament even forcibly cut off the north-south traffic and took over many sections of the railway. At all costs, all kinds of combat materials were continuously sent to Xuzhou. In Xuzhou, all the organs of the Northern Expeditionary Army were at all levels.  They worked overtime overnight to distribute these combat materials to various combat units and transport them to designated storage locations. Xuzhou's airport has also entered an unprecedentedly busy stage. A large number of secretly transferred planes have arrived here. The First Flying Division of the Air Force has already  All arrived at the large military airport in Xuzhou, and all the aircraft were undergoing final inspections. The meteorological troops affiliated with the Air Force also began to secretly sneak into possible combat areas to make various predictions and analyzes of weather changes. All work was going on.  It is proceeding in an orderly manner, but this has nothing to do with Bai Chongxi. These matters are currently in charge of Jiang Fangzhen, the deputy chief of staff. Although Bai Chongxi is only the chief of staff of the Northern Expeditionary Army, his actual power is equivalent to the commander of the Northern Expeditionary Army, because currently  The Commander-in-Chief of the Northern Expeditionary Army is personally concurrently appointed by the Chairman of the Military Commission Wang Zhenyu. This is also a new system of the Military Commission. The supreme commander of the front army with a strength of more than ten divisions is concurrently served by the Chairman of the Military Commission. The current strength of the Northern Expeditionary Army is  Still expanding, the original plan to use five divisions to win the battle in Shandong has been rejected by Wang Zhenyu. Wang Zhenyu's idea is to win a decisive victory in Shandong, which requires sufficient troops. Therefore, the size of the Northern Expeditionary Army  In the end, there were an astonishing twenty-two divisions. Among them, ten divisions, one armored division, and one flying division were deployed on the front line in Xuzhou. There were twelve divisions in total. The total strength reached an astonishing three hundred thousand, with various types of troops.  There are 720 heavy artillery pieces, 2,000 auxiliary artillery pieces, 180 combat aircraft of various types, and more than 200 tanks and armored vehicles. It can be said that such a huge combat scale is the first time since the founding of the Youth Army.  For Bai Chongxi personally, this was the first time in his life, so he could not care about his increasingly serious hair loss. He was thinking about the overall situation day and night. For him, this battle must be won, and it must be big.  Complete victory.  As usual, this time the Northern Expedition also established Eastern and Western Front Headquarters. At the Eastern Front Headquarters was Li Liejun. This general from the Alliance had relied on his recent performance and his service as the commander of the European Expeditionary Force.  His success won Wang Zhenyu's trust. This time he was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Route Army of the Northern Expeditionary Army. He was considered a popular figure in front of Wang Zhenyu. The person in charge of the Western Front Command was Cheng Qian, who was also not a direct descendant.  The former general relied on his excellent work ability and ability to form cliques, which made him more and more important in front of Wang Zhenyu. This time, the candidate for the commander-in-chief of the West Route Army could not escape.  "But Bai Chongxi doesn't care who is the commander-in-chief, because many times, he will directly give orders to the division level, and often at this time, the commander-in-chief becomes a decoration.  When Jiang Fangzhen walked in after signing several important documents, he looked at Bai Chongxi who was still thinking and asked in surprise: "Brother Jiansheng, we have prepared everything that should be prepared, what are you still thinking about?"  , are you still afraid that we will fail?" "Bai Chongxi has an aloof character. He usually treats his subordinates with no respect at all. He either ignores them or scolds them at every turn. In short, he rarely has a good look, but he treats Jiang Fangzhen with great courtesy.  The reason is also very simple. Jiang Fangzhen's strategic vision has always been admired by Bai Chongxi. According to rumors among senior military officials, the Shandong combat plan approved by the No. 1 head of the Military Commission (referring to Wang Zhenyu) this time came from the former Baoding principal Jiang Fangzhen.  hand.  "Brother Baili, I'm not worried that our army won't win at all. Apart from anything else, the current Eastern Route Army is much stronger in terms of personnel and equipment than when we were in the European Expeditionary Force. Under such difficult circumstances at that time  We can easily defeat the Germans. Now I really don¡¯t look down on Zhang Zongchang or even the Japanese. But after all, this battle is related to the reunification of the motherland and the commander-in-chief¡¯s grand cause. You can tell me that I don¡¯t care at all.  I¡¯m afraid I don¡¯t even believe it myself. ¡° Jiang Fangzhen, who has studied in Japan and is considered a member of the saber group, really doesn¡¯t seem to be worried about Japan at all. In fact, after returning from studying in Japan, Jiang Fangzhen has been advocating for Japan in terms of the construction of the Chinese army.  There are two things that are not worth learning for China, one is Bushido and the other is the Army. Unfortunately, after the Russo-Japanese War, the top Chinese military officials developed an almost superstitious admiration for the Japanese Army and continued to send military talents to Japan for training.  Officers who had returned from studying in Japan were also entrusted with important responsibilities. As a result, the Anti-Japanese War gradually??It becomes like a teacher beating a student. It seems that even if you are learning from a strong person, you should learn from his strengths rather than his weaknesses.  Seeing Bai Chongxi's worry, Jiang Fangzhen smiled very relaxedly and said: "I just have some free time right now. Let me listen to you and see what you are worried about." Bai Chongxi smiled and then remembered that he had not taken a sip of water all morning.  So he grabbed the cup and took a sip of water and said: "Actually, Zhang Zongchang is not qualified enough to worry us. What we really have to worry about is the Japanese. The Japanese army is very strong, but I am personally confident that we can defeat them this time."  After all, fourteen years have passed since the Russo-Japanese War. The gameplay of the war has already undergone tremendous changes, but one situation has not changed, and that is sea control. The Japanese combined fleet is there, and we  The coastline is also quite long. Once we start fighting with them in Shandong, their combined fleets from Shandong to Guangdong can attack them at will. The Japanese army can land in any of the provinces, and at this time all our main forces are on the front line.  , By that time, we will really be beyond our reach" Jiang Fangzhen listened very seriously, then looked up to the sky and sighed: "The commander-in-chief really has a clever plan. He knew that Brother Jiansheng was worried about this. I came from Wuhan.  He talked to me specifically before, and now he is using it." Bai Chongxi was shocked when he heard this: "What did the commander say? I hope Brother Baili will come quickly." Jiang Fangzhen didn't show any concern when he saw this.  Shuai's thinking is far clearer than ours. He truly knows himself and his enemy. Brother Jiansheng, look at the map and the deployment of our army. According to the information we obtained from secret channels, Japan plans to invest only three divisions and 80,000 troops in Shandong.  There are only more than 50,000 people. There are also two divisions with more than 50,000 people staying in Kyushu as reserve forces. You know this. It has always been an offense for the military to send inferior troops to fight against our division of hundreds of thousands of tigers and wolves.  It's taboo, but you know why the Japanese do such stupid things. The commander-in-chief knows that there are only seventeen standing divisions of the Japanese Army. Except for the vase decoration of the Guards Division, the remaining sixteen divisions  Nine regiments have been sent to Siberia. In other words, even if the Guards Division is also sent to Shandong, the Japanese army can be equal to our army in strength, and this is based on our army not sending additional reinforcements.  It would be great if they could launch a war in Shandong at this time. It is impossible to send troops to our coast to seize beaches and land on them. What's more, our commander-in-chief has already been prepared for this. The four provinces of Fujian, Guangdong, Zhejiang, and Jiangsu  There are two divisions stationed in each. With these eight divisions, the Japanese will not have more landing troops. Without them, they will die. What we really have to worry about with the combined fleet is that they will break into the Yangtze River and bombard the cities along the river. However, the navy has already  Strong fortresses and forts were built in Wusong, Chongming, Jiangyin, Zhenjiang and other places. They relied on 370mm heavy artillery to guard the forts and blockade the Yangtze River. It was impossible for the Japanese to break in. It was estimated that the most they could do was bombard Shanghai, but Britain and France would not agree if they agreed.  Got it, and the commander-in-chief has already planned to organize a high-speed fleet to carry out the task of breaking the diplomatic ties. It is estimated that the Japanese combined fleet will be so busy that they will not even have time to bombard Shanghai. What we really need to worry about is how to severely damage the Japanese army in the decisive battle in Shandong.  , this must be done, and at the same time, we need to use the Shanxi area as the core point to drag Fengjun in, so that we can wholeheartedly fight the Japanese in Shandong, and Zhang Zongchang, don¡¯t underestimate the commander-in-chief¡¯s intention, if necessary,  We took advantage of Zhang Zongchang's opportunity to feign an attack and turned the small fight into a big one, which knocked out Zhang Zongchang's vitality and vigor. At the same time, it also allowed the Japanese to conclude that we were at the end of our war effort, and laid the foundation for us to choose a favorable situation for the decisive battle.  Base,,.  " When Bai Chongxi heard this, he suddenly felt enlightened: "The commander-in-chief is indeed the commander-in-chief. He has a thorough understanding of the whole situation. It's wonderful, wonderful, Brother Baili, I think our battle plan can be revised.  Now, let¡¯s become more ruthless. What do you think of us placing the decisive battle in Jinan? You see, from Jinan to the north it is a flat plain, which is suitable for the execution of armored assault tactics, and with Mount Tai as a cover, once we launch a counterattack, we will carry out strategic  It is much easier to make a detour. More importantly, once we set the battlefield in Jinan, the Japanese army's entire war supply line will have to be lengthened. At this time, our opportunity will come out.  " Jiang Fangzhen nodded and said: "I think it will work, but I think I need to add one more thing. We must build a military airport in Jinan as soon as possible after entering Jinan. If we cannot build a large one, we will use small ones to make up for it in quantity. I saw the first aviation division's  Regarding training, I have a hunch that there are still great variables in this combat model, so when Jinan is a battlefield, the input of the Air Force must also be guaranteed.  "
