Chapter 237 Disagreement!

Kotaro Yamada said with a look of disdain: "A bunch of idiots are here, so there shouldn't be such a hassle."

"I think with our two divisions and [-] elites, it should be easy to eliminate them."

Harem Jun glanced at Kotaro Yamada, somewhat annoyed.

He still knows a little about this guy.

Arrogant and arrogant.

Harem Chunke doesn't want such a person.

On the contrary, Tanaka Jingyi was very calm at this time, with an expression of indifference.

Harem Chun had also expected such a situation before, so he was prepared at this time.

Harumiya Jun smiled and said, "Yamada-kun's words are wrong!"

"Materials are needed to fight a war. Among other things, your [-] army needs food and grass, and you need ammunition to fight a war."

"These are things that need to be prepared in advance."

Kotaro Yamada frowned and said, "Don't the First Army even have this bit of food and supplies?"

Harem Chun thought, this idiot really doesn't know anything.

To ask such a stupid question.

But after thinking about it, Harem Chun understood.

Harem Chun explained: "This is different from Manchuria, where there are basically no major wars."

"And the base camp also attaches great importance to Manchuria, and the ammunition and supplies given are very sufficient."

"There is no battle at ordinary times, and the troops have to prepare for the upcoming war, so a large amount of materials are stored in the warehouse for emergencies."

"But in North China, the situation is completely different."

"Originally, the supplies that North China could obtain were very limited. We had to be self-sufficient in food and so on. Not only that, we also needed looting to support the imperial army in other regions."

"As a result, we don't have much reserves at all."

"The same goes for weapons and ammunition. You have a certain industrial base in Manchuria, and you can meet part of the supply of weapons and ammunition yourself."

"And most of us need the base camp to allocate, and the industrial base here is relatively weak."

"As for North China, the battles continued. We were surrounded by enemies, and the Eight Routes also infiltrated into various places, constantly attacking the imperial army."

"Especially during this period of time, the Eight Routes are developing rapidly and have already posed a great threat to the imperial army."

"In short, due to these reasons, the ammunition reserves of our North China Expeditionary Force are relatively insufficient."

"Why do you think Commander Yoshio Shinozuka failed before?"

"Because of lack of preparation, the battle has been delayed for a long time,"

"The ammunition of the frontline troops is exhausted, and these soil eight roads harass our rear, which prevents the supply from being delivered in time."

"And Commander Shinozuka Yoshio was attacked halfway by Yu Sui, which made things worse."

"But the main reason is due to insufficient preparation and insufficient ammunition."

"So we have to learn this lesson and not make this mistake again."

Hearing this, Kotaro Yamada couldn't help but frowned and stopped talking.

He really didn't expect that such a situation would happen to the North China Dispatch Army.

so poor.

How to fight this battle.

It seemed that his plan was about to fail.

Kotaro Yamada frowned and asked, "Your Excellency, how long do we have to wait?"

Harem Chun pondered for a moment, and said, "I have already discussed this matter with Commander Gangcun before."

"Commander Gangcun has promised that he will give us priority in replenishing ammunition. In this case, we will need about a month to prepare."

"It just so happens that you two divisions can also use this month's time to get familiar with the situation in Shanxi as soon as possible."

"I will send someone to go deep into your troops and introduce to you the situation of Tuba Road, especially some of their strategies and tactics. You must study them thoroughly."

"Know yourself and know your enemy to be victorious in all battles."

"Although the imperial army is brave, unnecessary sacrifices should be avoided as much as possible."

Kotaro Yamada was immediately speechless, and could only say honestly: "Remember Your Excellency Commander's instruction."

Looking at Kotaro Yamada's expression at this moment, Jun Harem inevitably felt a little worried.

This guy is really not a worry-free guy.

At this time, Tian Zhongjing said: "We will follow the arrangements of the Commander, but we will not wait all the time now."

Harem Chun frowned slightly. He had considered this matter a long time ago, and had already made a decision in his heart.

But seeing Kotaro Yamada's performance today, Jun Harem couldn't help but worry again.

Harem Chun pondered for a moment, then said: "According to the plan, before the supplies are fully prepared."

"We are temporarily on the defensive, mainly to guard the major cities, especially the cities along the railway line."

"The most serious problem now is the area along the Zhengtai Railway and the southern section of the Tongpu Railway. Due to the further expansion of the Tuba Road."

"It makes the safety of these two sections of the railway worrying. The railway is our most important supply line."

"If the railways cannot be secured, our supply lines will be threatened."

"So according to the plan, your two divisions will be sent to station in these major cities along the railway line after a short rest in Taiyuan."

"But in the short term, you have no major military operations. What you have to do is to protect the safety of the railway line, focusing on defense."

Having said that, Harumi Jun's eyes once again fell on Yamada Kotarou.

Kotaro Yamada asked cautiously: "If there is no large-scale action, what about small-scale actions?"

Harem Chun thought to himself: I already knew you would be dishonest.

Harem Chun shook his head and said, "Small-scale ones won't do either."

"Because Balu is extremely cunning, one of the tactics they are best at is fishing tactics."

"They will deliberately attract us with a small force, wait until we pursue, and then carry out an ambush from the middle."

"And now, the strength of the Eighth Route Army has been further strengthened, and small groups of troops have entered their base areas, and the danger has become even greater."

"Therefore, during this period of time, the troops must not act without authorization."

"We have to be patient and wait for the most suitable opportunity."

"Yamada-kun doesn't even have that little patience, does he?"

Kotaro Yamada smiled awkwardly, and then said: "Where, I still have this patience."

"It's just that I'm worried that my subordinates will act rashly."

"You know, those junior officers, they may not have such patience."

Harem Jun said with a serious face: "Then please Yamada-kun restrain your subordinates, I believe that you should have such ability."

Harem Chun was already a little annoyed.

I thought, don't give me the whole set.

If there is a problem with your army, I will ask you.
