    ??

    Xiaojing¡¯s words made him very interested.

    After receiving Tojo Hideki¡¯s approval, Koi immediately continued: ¡°This is actually a game, to see who of the two sides can grit their teeth and persevere.

    If the enemy takes the lead in breaking through the Jinzhou defense line and then advances into Shenyang and other areas, then they can solve their logistical supply problems by obtaining food and other materials locally.

    In addition, they have large-scale air power and can deliver large amounts of military supplies to them.  We will then fall into passivity.

    If we can take the lead in occupying Pingjin, then even if the enemy breaks through the Jinzhou defense line, we don¡¯t have to worry, because the room for strategic maneuver has been greatly increased for us.

    Using the Pingjin area we occupied, it would be much easier for us to reverse the situation of the war.

    Not only that, some of our troops in North China can also provide support.  Cooperate with us in this battle.

    For example, our garrison in the Shandong area and the Imperial Association Army have a large number of people. Together with the troops in the Xuzhou area,

    There are a lot of these troops. If we organize them all and attack from south to north to contain the enemy, even if we cannot achieve a breakthrough on the front, we can still attract a large part of the enemy's attention.  "

    As Xiaojing said this, he used a pencil to draw three attack routes on the map.

    ¡°The attack in North China can be divided into three branches, starting from Henan and Shandong to attack the enemy¡¯s defense line along the Yellow River.

    In addition, in Zhengzhou, Kaifeng and other places, it is also necessary to mobilize troops to attack and threaten these two cities.

    This is a city that the enemy must protect. They must not sit idly by and ignore it. As long as we can attract enough enemy forces, our attack this time will be successful.

    After saying that, he looked at Tojo Hideki and said: "Of course, the premise of all this is that we can coordinate the various troops and organize them at the same time.

    ¡°There is also the power of the Admiralty, which we must use.

    Although these two aircraft carrier formations suffered heavy losses, many warships can still be used to transport troops.

    We took advantage of the enemy's attention to focus on the Jinzhou area to launch a landing in the Pingjin area.

    ¡°We only need to invest approximately 200,000 troops in this direction to form an absolute advantage in military strength.

    By then, even if the enemy¡¯s city walls in Peiping and Tianjin are made of steel, we will be able to level them.  "

    Tojo Hideki nodded and said: "Your combat plan is very thoughtful, but to coordinate the various armies, I need to discuss it with the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Navy.

    Does anyone else have anything to add?  "

    After saying that, he looked at everyone at the Japanese General Staff Headquarters.

    But at this time, someone stood up and said loudly: "I need to add that although this combat plan sounds good, there are big problems in its actual execution.

    First of all, our army does not have air superiority. Even if we transport our troops to this sea area, it is likely to be shot down by enemy fighter planes.

    ¡°In addition, we lack accurate intelligence on the Pingjin area.

    Although theoretically, the enemy's troops here have been mobilized a lot, but even so, we cannot relax our vigilance. If the enemy still accumulates a large number of troops here, then our landing operation is likely to become dangerous.  A journey from which there is no return.

    I think the risk is too great, and it is very likely that our army's losses will be expanded.

    In addition, regarding the troops in North China, although they are still quite large in number, a considerable part of them are the Imperial Association Army and the troops of Mr. Wang's government in Nanjing. Their combat effectiveness is very poor, and they can almost be said to collapse at the first touch. On the battlefield  Can't play any role.

    Not only that, even if they are organized and really launch an attack, the National Army troops in this area and the Eighth Route Army troops will block our attack for the Fourth Army.

    The troops we will actually attract by then will most likely be the Eighth Route Army and other units of the National Army, not the Fourth Army.

    I can even bet that the forces of the Fourth Army will not be attracted here at all. They can even safely and boldly transfer all their forces in the Henan area and go directly north to support Jinzhou, Pingjin and other areas.  "

    Having said this, he looked at Xiao Jingdao: "I think Xiao Jing's plan, although the possible benefits are very large, is very difficult to implement and the risks are very high."

    &nbspAfter he finished speaking, he took half a step back and looked at Tojo Hideki.

    "However, Tojo Hideki is obviously more interested in the combat plan proposed by Koi.

    Such high-risk, high-yield combat plans often receive high-level support within the Japanese military staff headquarters.

    Because they have already tasted too many sweet things. For example, when they invaded the three eastern provinces before, they only had more than 50,000 people and launched an attack on the three eastern provinces.

    At that time, there were hundreds of thousands of Northeastern troops stationed outside the pass, and their equipment was not bad, even better than the Central Army of the Nationalist Government at that time.

    But the Japanese would never have thought that the Northeast Army did not resist and retreated to the pass.  The leaders of the Kuomintang at that time chose to "pacify the internal situation first before resisting foreign aggression" and did not engage in large-scale battles with the Japanese army.

    It was also this adventure that allowed the Japanese army to gain millions of square kilometers of fertile land outside the customs with almost no losses.

    The coal, steel, timber, and large amounts of cheap labor on this land all accelerated Japan's industrialization process, allowing them to temporarily escape the impact of the economic crisis at that time, and also accelerated the process of Japanese militarism.

    Later, when they attacked the Pingjin area, they gained huge land and population at a very small price.

    This situation lasted until the Battle of Songhu. The Japanese army suffered a heavy blow from this high-risk combat plan.

    But even so, they still won the victory in the end, and it was a huge victory, and they attacked the then capital of the Kuomintang in one fell swoop.

    Later, they attacked Pearl Harbor and sent troops to Southeast Asia. They all used high-risk combat plans and achieved huge gains.

    It is like a gambler who repeatedly passes Stud to gain huge profits. Repeated victories make this gambler unable to stop.

    This time, Tojo Hideki and his staff also subconsciously believed that Koi's plan was better.

    Therefore, Tojo Hideki said: "I think that although Koi's plan is more radical, the benefits are also greater. For us who are currently facing internal and external difficulties, such a combat plan may be more appropriate. (Remember the website address of this site.  £ºwww.hlnovel.com
