Bright Sword: I am an undercover agent in the puppet army

Chapter 82 On the eve of the war, Xu Yang: In order to protect Hikawa Okazaka and continue to be an undercover agent, I have also taken great pains
Kong Jie was so angry at Li Yunlong's words that he almost fainted. His face turned black as the bottom of a pot and he cursed, "Li Yunlong, you are such a piece of shit. You have taken over my independent regiment and you are still acting like a spoiled child!

I'm just going to take my share of the spoils. Do you have to disgust me so much?

If you don’t know, you might think I did something shameful and immoral.”

Li Yunlong: "If the independent regiment was still in your hands, it would be completely destroyed! I am different. In just one month, I turned the dough into a howling wolf regiment.

As for the cuckoo occupying the magpie's nest, that's even more nonsense. If I hadn't protected you, you wouldn't even know where to feed the horse right now."

"Get out! Stop being so disgusting!" Kong Jie got angry and bumped into Li Yunlong hard, then walked away.

Ding Wei, who was walking behind the two of them, simply pretended not to see anything and was not too bored to go over and try to stop the fight.

As old comrades-in-arms for many years, Ding Wei has long known the tempers of these two guys. As long as they stick their butts out, he knows what they are going to do.

Even though they are arguing like enemies now, when they get to the table and have two drinks, they will immediately become old comrades and close friends.

They may quarrel or fight for the main attack, but it will not affect their life-long friendship at all.

Compared to the meaningless quarrel with the two of them, Ding Wei would rather get to know Xu Yang better.

Xu Yang's life experience is legendary. It can be said that he developed and strengthened the entire Eighth Route Army by his own efforts.

Moreover, he had actually begun to plan and collect various intelligence on the Japanese and puppet army strongholds a month in advance, while at that time, the Eighth Route Army had not yet formulated a combat plan.

This shows how far-reaching his strategic vision is!
In Ding Wei's opinion, even if Xu Yang stopped doing intelligence work and switched to the front battlefield, the military achievements he could achieve would definitely not be inferior to those of him, Li Yunlong and others.

Tactical guidance ability only determines the lower limit of a commander, while the strategic vision of taking a global view determines the upper limit of a commander.

Li Yunlong was just lucky. If Ding Wei had known Xu Yang first, it would not be his turn, Li Yunlong, to boss people around, mock this and criticize that.

The two talked for a while, and Ding Wei changed the subject and asked, "Lone Wolf Staff Officer, you provided most of the intelligence this time. When do you think the headquarters will launch a major war this time?"

As a time traveler, especially one who has filmed hundreds of anti-Japanese war dramas.

Xu Yang was naturally familiar with this period of history. He pretended to think for a while and said, "Although the initiative of this war lies with our army, the decision on the timing lies with the Japanese army in central China."

If Kong Jie and Li Yunlong heard this, they would probably ask in confusion, they were fighting the Japanese army in North China, what does it have to do with the Japanese army in Central China.

Dante Wei's strategic vision is far superior to that of Li Yunlong and Kong Jie.

He understood everything immediately and asked uncertainly, "Are you talking about the Zaoyi battlefield?"

"That's right." Xu Yang nodded: "The battle of Zaoyi has just begun. If our army rashly launches a large-scale offensive and exposes the military strength that has been developed with great difficulty in the past two years without reservation, it will definitely cause great shock to the Japanese army.

At that time, it would be possible for the Japanese army to change its combat plan and transfer the troops and materials originally intended for the Zaoyi battlefield to the Shanxi battlefield to deal with our army.

By then, we will be in big trouble.”

"Our army is dedicated to the war of resistance. In order to defeat the Japanese army, we can do our utmost to contain the National Army." "But Chiang Kai-shek may not think so. As long as there is a chance, he will definitely use the Japanese invaders to weaken or even eliminate our army without hesitation.

Even if some knowledgeable Nationalist commanders wanted to contain the Japanese invaders, Chiang Kai-shek would stop them. "

"So, if the Japanese invaders withdrew from the Zaoyi battlefield and turned to attack our army, Chiang Kai-shek would definitely sit back and do nothing, or even order the troops to stay put or even retreat, giving the Japanese invaders enough space to move."

“Therefore, our army must not only contain the Japanese troops in central China to relieve the pressure on friendly forces in the south, but also ensure its own safety.

Then, all they could do was wait for the Japanese troops in central China to start a real fight with the Nationalist troops in the south on the Zaoyi battlefield, throw all their manpower and supplies into it, and become deeply trapped and unable to extricate themselves.

Then take action and you will be worry-free!

By then, even if Chiang Kai-shek intended to use the Japanese invaders to deal with our army, he would be unable to do so.

Our army also achieved the strategic goal of inflicting heavy damage to the Japanese invaders, alleviating the pressure on friendly forces in the south, and ensuring its own safety."

Ding Wei was shocked. After listening to Xu Yang's analysis, he found that he had underestimated the other party's strategic vision.

However, he was overthinking this.

Xu Yang doesn't have any strategic vision at all. He just benefits from being a time traveler and looks at the current situation from a God's perspective, so naturally he sees it very clearly.

Of course, it cannot be said that Xu Yang has no strategic vision.

After all, the fighting gene is engraved in the bones of every Chinese man. After dinner or at the wine table, after discussing beautiful women, the final topic of Chinese men will inevitably turn to discussing the international situation, historical wars, and they will even bring themselves into it and engage in war game simulations.

Ding Wei agreed with Xu Yang's analysis. He nodded and said, "That's right. After about two years of expansion, the Eighth Route Army has grown more than tenfold in strength. However, due to the limitations of weapons and equipment, as well as training, it is still at an absolute disadvantage compared to the Japanese army in North China.

Once the Japanese army shifts its main combat direction to our Eighth Route Army, it doesn't even need to mobilize its full strength. As long as it randomly sends in two divisions, our Eighth Route Army will suffer a heavy loss.

In this war, if it weren’t for the technology of making high explosives with flying thunder cannons and fertilizer powder provided by you, Lone Wolf Staff Officer, the Japanese bunkers and artillery towers alone would have been difficult for our army to shake..."

The two chatted as they walked towards the brigade's mess hall...

After the meeting at the brigade headquarters, Xu Yang returned to the Taohe stronghold without stopping and began to formulate a plan on how to protect Hinakawa Okazaka in the upcoming battle without exposing his own goals.

Of course, he didn't have any special feelings for Hinakawa Okasaka, but because the living Hinakawa Okasaka was far more useful than the dead Hinakawa Okasaka.

In the previous battle of Cangyun Town, if he had not designed a plan to rescue Rikawa Okazaka, the subsequent battle would never have brought such huge benefits to the Eighth Route Army.

Therefore, Xu Yang not only had to keep Hinakawa Okazaka, but also had to rack his brains to find a way to promote Hinakawa Okazaka to a higher level.

It can be said that Xu Yang also took great pains for the future of Hikawa Okazaka...
