Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 1153 The new strategy of the front army (the first update!)

At the headquarters of the Japanese division in Linfen City, Lieutenant General Fujino stood in front of the huge combat sand table with his brows furrowed, motionless for an hour.

I still underestimated the strength of the opponent Xinyituan.

A conspiracy carefully laid out by the intelligence department was cracked by Xinyituan so easily, and many intelligence personnel were also lost.

Of course, this also allowed Major General Fujino to see the strength of the new regiment. The main force of more than 1 people, local troops, can be drawn casually.What surprised him the most was that when other troops of the Eighth Route Army couldn't even get enough to eat, Xinyituan could easily put out millions of catties of food to appease the people!

"Food~" Lieutenant General Ito finally spoke, and spit out these two words!
"What food... division commander!" the remaining chief of staff asked back with a frown.

Lieutenant General Fujino frowned and analyzed: "The key to the Eighth Route Army's New First Regiment being able to solve this problem is food... The people's rations are very short due to the drought. As long as you give them even a little food, you can easily buy people's hearts !"

"Chief of Staff, is the food that the front army promised to give us replenished soon?"

"Even if Xinyituan has a strong family, they can casually take out millions of catties of grain. But compared with the imperial army, their family is still far behind!"

"As long as the food is in place, we can also buy people's hearts with food!"

"The reason why the Eighth Route Army was able to develop and grow stronger in North China is because the people's hearts are the most fundamental problem. The common people are on their side, willing to support them, and even donate their rations, son, to the Eighth Route Army!"

"It is these people's hearts that support the Eighth Route Army to fight against the Imperial Army!"

The chief of staff hesitated and replied: "The first batch of 500 million catties of grain and [-] garrison troops came together, and they are already in place!"

Lieutenant General Fujino's face suddenly became serious, staring at the chief of staff and ordered: "Then start recruiting?"

"Recruit troops to form the Imperial Association Army in the area controlled by the Imperial Army. All Chinese who are willing to join the Imperial Association Army will be compensated with [-] catties of food at a time, and the military salary will be calculated separately!"

"There is a severe drought in North China, and the food in the hands of the Chinese people is not even enough for rations. Fifty catties of grain must be very tempting to these people. In addition, after someone joins the Imperial Association Army, there will be one less mouth in the family, not only can they gain fifty catties Food is usually less consumed, and the limited rations may allow them to last until next year's autumn harvest! Therefore, after this order is issued, there will definitely be many Chinese rushing to join the Imperial Association Army!"

"I'm not worried about the military strength, but the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Association Army has always been a big problem!"

"So I decided that each regiment of the newly formed Royal Association Army will arrange a small squad of Imperial Army to train and supervise them!"

"Guarantee that each infantry company of the Imperial Association Army has three imperial troops serving as deputy company commanders and instructors!"

"At critical moments, these deputy company commanders and instructors from the imperial army can replace the company commander at any time and directly command the troops to fight!"

The chief of staff immediately reacted: "The commander of the division is wise, in this way, the command of the Imperial Association Army will be firmly in the hands of the Imperial Army, and there is no need to worry about those officers of the Imperial Association Army who have the same heart for the Imperial Army!"

"The reason why the Imperial Association Army had no combat effectiveness in the past was that their officers were too incompetent, timid and afraid of death!"

Lieutenant General Fujino said affirmatively: "That's for sure. There is an old saying in China that a raging soldier is a raging army. Since the Imperial Association Army is to be reorganized, I must avoid this situation!"

"Currently, the nine infantry brigades under the division are still organized. Although they are not full, each infantry brigade can still have one infantry squad drawn out!"

"Each infantry brigade recruits troops in its own defense area, forming a regiment of the Imperial Association Army, with a total strength of 1000 people..."

"The heads of the nine regiments of the Royal Association Army are appointed by the division headquarters, and the officers below the regiment are appointed by the captains of the brigades!"

"In the future, these regiments will cooperate with them in combat. Equipment and food supplies will be provided by the division headquarters, and the training will be the responsibility of each brigade. Therefore, in order to ensure combat effectiveness, each brigade must be responsible!"

"As long as the combat effectiveness of these imperial association troops can reach [-]% of the imperial army's, it will bring great help to the imperial army!"

"Linfen City formed three regiments, that is, a brigade of the Royal Association Army, and you are in charge of the chief of staff. The imperial army of the three squads was directly drawn from the guard brigade, and the imperial army's absolute control over the Imperial Association Army's command must be guaranteed! "

"The humble job promises to live up to the high expectations of the division commander!" The chief of staff replied with a serious face.

This is an excellent opportunity for him to express himself in front of Lieutenant General Fujino. As the chief of staff of the division, whether he can continue to serve is definitely a matter of what Lieutenant General Fujino said in front of him.Therefore, I must seize this opportunity and perform well.

Seeing Fujino nodded in satisfaction, the chief of staff hesitated and reminded: "Master, I think there is one more thing we should pay attention to!"

"What's the matter?" Lieutenant General Fujino asked the chief of staff with a surprised look.

Since he took office, the chief of staff has been walking on thin ice, trembling, fearing that he will be dissatisfied.He almost always listens to what he says, and dare not have any opinions.

The chief of staff gritted his teeth and replied: "Before, because the imperial army had some extreme attitudes and behaviors towards the imperial association army and the Chinese people, it caused the Chinese to hide when they saw the imperial army!"

"Frozen three feet is not a day's cold. We want the Chinese in the occupied area to fully support the imperial army and implement the front army's soft policy to the end. There is one more thing we should do!"

Speaking of this, the chief of staff shut his mouth wisely and stood beside him with his head down, not speaking.

He believed that Lieutenant General Fujino could hear the hidden meaning in his words. As for how to do it, it was a matter for the head of the division in front of him, and he could not decide.

Fujino, who was still full of vigor just now, suddenly became ugly.

Walking back and forth in the war room with a sullen face, he hesitated for a long time before making a decision.

"Order, the imperial army under our command, from now on, can no longer appear in the occupied area to grab food and massacre the common people. However, don't be polite to the common people in the Eighth Route Army's base area. I want the Chinese to know that obeying the imperial army, they You will have a good life, and you don't need to worry about when you will be killed. But if you don't submit to the imperial army, then they are our enemies..."

"After the establishment of the Imperial Association Army, apart from enforcing military discipline, the Imperial Army cannot insult the Imperial Association Army in any way, and murders happen!"

This is what the chief of staff wanted, and he quickly flattered and replied: "The commander of the division is wise, with these two orders, I believe that the Chinese in the imperial army's occupied area will definitely support and support us!"

Seeing the chief of staff leave with a smile, Lieutenant General Fujino's expression was not as good as expected.

As a senior military officer of the empire, he has access to many things that the chief of staff cannot.

Although the Huairou policy is a new policy formulated by the commander of the front army, Fujino knows that this policy cannot last for too long!
The wars waged by the Empire grew in scale and logistical pressure.

The food, weapons and ammunition produced by the empire itself were basically sent to other battlefields. Except for the supplies of the Japanese army in North China, which came from Manchuria, the rest could only be collected by themselves in the occupied areas~

Now because of the drought in North China, Manchuria has provided most of the food supplies to the Front Army.

However, after the drought is over, or Manchuria is unable to provide so much food and ammunition supplies to the front army, in order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the hundreds of thousands of troops of the imperial army and the imperial association army, what the imperial army can do is to continue to occupy Search the Chinese people in the district!
Of course, these are things for later, what I need to do now is to seize the opportunity in front of me, suppress the opponent, or even eliminate the opponent.

At that time, without the Eighth Route Army, even if the common people resist, there will be no big waves!
