    Xu Hu looked at Li Guoyao, then his face became a little ugly, and then said: "Do you really want to say it? Although that bitch is arguing with me, he is mainly insinuating you, Junzuo!"

    Li Guoyao smiled faintly and said, "Say, I just want to see what they think of me?"

    Xu Hu gritted his teeth and said: "Although it is not a glorious thing to speak ill of your subordinates in front of your superiors, and I, Xu Hu, am not the kind of person who chews your tongue, but what he said is so fucking annoying, so I  Make an exception."

    Then Xu Hu continued: "The man surnamed Liang said that the military commander was not considerate of his subordinates at all. When he became the military commander, he still dominated the position of division commander, which affected the promotion of others. He also said that as long as the military commander is not allowed to give up the position of division commander for a day  Position, the entire 61st Army will no longer have division-level officers."

    "Is there any more?"

    "have!"

    Xu Hu continued: "That bitch also said that the military commander only wanted to fight for a good reputation for himself and didn't care about the feelings of the brothers at all. The training was about to start just after the war. The brothers haven't rested yet. The brothers are training  There is no enthusiasm"

    "Snapped"

    Li Guoyao slapped the table hard and said angrily: "He knows nothing. With his level, he still dares to question me. Do you really think that I won't dare to touch them if someone supports them!"

    Everyone in the entire command headquarters was afraid to express their anger. They rarely saw the military commander get angry, but every time the military commander was angry, it was not easy to get rid of it. Obviously, someone was going to be unlucky this time.

    "Military, please calm down. Although Deputy Brigadier Liang's words may not be very popular, they do reflect the aspirations of some soldiers!"

    It was Ma Desheng who spoke. As the chief of staff of the 61st Army, he still held great weight in front of Li Guoyao. At this time, he was the only one who dared to speak like this.

    Li Guoyao frowned and said, "Lao Ma, you mean there are still people who hold the same idea?"

    "I haven't heard anyone say that you concurrently serve as the commander of the temporary seventh division, but the army has entered the training stage so quickly. There are indeed many people who have opinions, including many mid-level and senior officers!" Ma Desheng said.

    "Their reasons are the same as Liang Chenghu?" Li Guoyao asked in a deep voice.

    "It's more or less the same. I'm planning to report this to you, Military Commander. Should we suspend training for a period of time, or reduce the intensity of training?" Ma Desheng said.

    However, I heard Li Guoyao say coldly: "No, we can't stop, and we can't reduce the training intensity!"

    Li Guoyao's strong refusal stunned Ma Desheng and others. In their understanding, Jun Zuo was a kind-hearted person, and he would never refuse such a thing.

    After all, something like this has happened now. If it continues, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction among other soldiers.

    It doesn¡¯t matter if it¡¯s just Liang Chenghu now. Once the whole army complains, it will be bad. If it doesn¡¯t go well, there will be mutiny!

    Li Guoyao looked at Ma Desheng, then at Xu Hu and others, and then said: "The troops went into training without a good rest, which really affects the mood and morale of the soldiers. I know this better than anyone. But  Choose between sweating and bleeding on the training ground or losing hits on the battlefield, I would rather let the soldiers sweat and bleed on the training ground!"

    Hearing Li Guoyao¡¯s words, everyone was stunned!

    This is easy to understand. Sweat more in peacetime and bleed less in war. This is a slogan often shouted by the 61st Army during training.

    It¡¯s just that now that the Japs have been severely damaged, they probably won¡¯t attack Bengbu again in a short time, so there¡¯s no need to be in such a hurry!

    "Military seat, it's not that the brothers below don't want to train, but they think they should be given a break"

    Before Ma Desheng could finish speaking, Li Guoyao interrupted him and said, "Do you think I don't want to give them some time to rest? No, it's the little devil who won't give it to them. If I don't seize the time to train them now, it won't be long."  In the long run, they will face more ferocious Japs than the Ninth Division and the 13th Division, what do you want me to do?"

    "Military seat, do you mean that the Japs will attack Bengbu again?"

    Ma Desheng was stunned for a moment, then realized what he was doing and asked immediately.

    Li Guoyao glanced at Ma Desheng and said, "What, do you think that the little devil will not dare to attack Bengbu after we gave him a beating?"

    Ma Desheng said immediately: "That's not true, it's just that the little devils just suffered a big loss in Taierzhuang, and the Wuhan side is now concentrating its forces to fight the little devils in Xuzhou. The little devils on the northern frontThere is simply no room for money to be collected.  The little devils on the southern front were also beaten to pieces by our army, and it was difficult to regain their combat effectiveness in a short period of time. How could they get the strength to attack Bengbu!  "

    Li Guoyao shook his head and said: "You are too optimistic. First of all, let's talk about the battle situation on the northern front. Although the Fifth War Zone did catch the Japs by surprise in Taierzhuang, you really think that our army has the strength to defeat the Japs in Xuzhou.  A decisive battle?"

    "Military seat, you don't seem to be optimistic about the Battle of Xuzhou?" Xu Hu asked in surprise.

    ¡°It¡¯s not that I¡¯m not optimistic, it¡¯s that I have absolutely no chance of winning!¡±

    As he spoke, Li Guoyao walked to the map and said: "Look, this is Shandong, and this is Xuzhou. The Japs have four divisions in Shandong, namely Suematsu Shigeharu's 114th Division and Itagaki Seishiro's 5th Division."  Division, Nakajima Kongo's 16th Division, Isoya Rensuke's 10th Division, in addition to the 6th and 10th Independent Heavy Machine Gun Battalions directly under the Second Army, and the 10th and 12th Independent Light Armored Vehicle Squadrons  , 1st Field Heavy Artillery Brigade."

    "No one knows much about these numbers. Let's put it this way. Among these four divisions, except for the 114th Division, which is a second-class division, the other three are all first-class divisions. In other words, only the 114th Division is a second-class division.  The combined strength of these divisions exceeds 100,000, or even more. In addition, the Japanese army also has a temporary aviation corps in North China and a large number of other directly affiliated units, both in terms of firepower and combat effectiveness, beyond our imagination."

    "Looking at the troops in the fifth theater, although their strength is several times that of the Japanese army, they have been fighting with the Japs in Shandong for several months, whether it is the Third Group Army, the 59th Army, the 40th Army, etc.  All suffered heavy casualties.¡±

    "Looking at the vast plains near Xuzhou and the extremely developed transportation, it is very suitable for the march of the Japs' mechanized troops, but it is not conducive to defense. In such an environment, the combat effectiveness of our army must be reduced by at least 30%, while the combat effectiveness of the Japs can be  Play 120%, and the possibility of holding Xuzhou is almost zero, so the decisive battle with the little devil in Xuzhou itself is a wrong decision."

    Li Guoyao's words caused more than a dozen officers in the command post, including Ma Desheng, Xu Hu and others, to fall silent. Before, they had only listened to the propaganda about the Battle of Xuzhou from above, and they also knew that China and Japan were about to have a decisive battle in Xuzhou.

    In addition, the Chinese army just won the battle in Taierzhuang. Everyone has great hopes for this war and believes that even if they cannot win, they will not lose too badly.

    "But after Li Guoyao's analysis, everyone suddenly realized that they had been too optimistic. In fact, the situation was far from as good as everyone imagined.

    If it were someone else who said it, everyone might not care too much. After all, everyone is a soldier and has his own way of analyzing the battle situation.

    But Li Guoyao is different. Although he is young, he is a truly victorious general. He has not made any mistakes in that battle since he withdrew from the Shanghai battlefield.

    ¡° Moreover, what Li Guoyao said in his analysis just now was reasonable and well-founded, and it was by no means empty talk. This made many people believe Li Guoyao¡¯s judgment directly.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
