You were tasked with guarding the Sihang Warehouse, and you brought out a Tiger tank?

"Gentlemen."

Lin Feng stood up, picked up a long baton, and walked to the huge operational map of the Jiangsu-Shandong war zone on the wall.

"Enough with the small talk, let's get straight to the point."

Lin Feng casually swept his eyes across the room, and the imposing aura of a commander of nearly 100,000 troops instantly emanated from him, causing everyone present to subconsciously straighten their backs.

"Currently, the Japanese North China Area Army is advancing south in two routes."

The central route, composed of the main force including Isogai Rensuke's 10th Division, is launching a fierce attack along the Jinpu Railway on Tengxian, which is garrisoned by the Sichuan Army.

This was the main force of the Japanese army, and also their toughest nut to crack.

Commander Li's plan was to have the Sichuan Army hold Tengxian to the death, breaking a few of this tough nut to crack.

Lin Feng suddenly slid the baton in his hand to the right, pointing it at a blue arrow on the right side of the map, in the direction of Linyi.

"And the left flank, that is, the Japanese flank."

It is Itagaki Seishiro's 5th Division, which is currently advancing towards Linyi from the direction of Qingcheng Port.

They attempted to outflank Pengcheng from the side.

Lin Feng picked up a thick red pencil and drew a large X on the blue arrow representing the 5th Division with great force.

"The first step that my 33rd Legion must take."

It was to cooperate with the Northwest Army under Commander Pang, who was stationed in Linyi.

Concentrate overwhelming forces and wipe out this arrogant steel army in one fell swoop.

Attempt to encircle the 5th Division!

Upon hearing this, everyone in the conference room gasped in shock.

To surround an entire Japanese Class A division?

That appetite is simply terrifying.

It should be noted that in previous battles, the Great Xia army often needed to gather five, six, or even more than a dozen divisions to barely manage to fight a Japanese division to a draw.

Ignoring the crowd's shock, Lin Feng raised his baton again, pointing it at the location of Qingcheng Port:

"at the same time.

I will send a mechanized armored unit straight into the enemy's rear.

They are advancing towards Qingcheng Port.

Lin Feng sneered and threw the red pencil on the table with a crisp "thud":

"As soon as Qingcheng Port is in danger, the 5th Division's rear will be cut off and it will be surrounded."

The headquarters of the Japanese North China Area Army will inevitably fall into panic.

At that point, the main Japanese force, which had been steadily advancing along the Jinpu Railway, would have to be divided and deployed to provide relief across regions.

Lin Feng placed his hands on the table, leaned forward, and said confidently:

"As soon as the Japanese start to move, their formation will be disrupted, revealing weaknesses."

"I, Lin Feng, have countless ways to slowly and thoroughly crush these tens of thousands of Japanese devils on this Central Plains land."

He straightened up and began to issue specific battle plans.

"Zhao Dashan".

"Here." Zhao Dashan stood up abruptly.

"Your 1st Honor Brigade, as the spearhead of the entire army."

Immediately initiate a covert maneuver.

The troops were to operate under cover of darkness and secretly arrive in the Lanling County area southwest of Linyi within five days to assemble.

Upon arrival, take cover immediately and do not expose your position. Await my further orders to attack.

"Yes. I guarantee the mission will be accomplished."

"Zhang Wenzhong, Li Dadao."

"Here," the two replied in unison.

"The newly formed Eighth Army consisted of the 107th Division and the newly formed 15th Division."

Starting on March 13, the entire army advanced towards Linyi via Taierzhuang and Xiangcheng.

Upon reaching the vicinity of Linyi, Zhang Wenzhong, your 107th Division need not cross the Yi River to enter the city.

Instead, they continued marching north along the west bank of the Yi River, forming a flanking maneuver to encircle the 5th Division from the left, cutting off their possibility of joining up with the 10th Division to the west.

"Yes." Zhang Wenzhong saluted.

"Li Dadao, your newly formed 15th Division."

Two regiments were left outside the city as reserves for the newly formed Eighth Army, ready to support all sides at any time.

Another main force regiment was dispatched to enter Linyi City to assist Commander Pang's Northwest Army in its defense.

Tell the regimental commanders entering the city that even if they fight to the last man, Linyi City must not fall into the hands of our 33rd Army Corps.

"Rest assured, Commander, the city stands as long as we stand, and we perish if the city falls," Li Dadao roared.

"Zhou Biao".

"Here." The newly appointed commander of the 1st Independent Division, Zhou Biao, stood up expressionlessly.

"Your Independent 1st Division will remain at the Jiawang base camp."

Ready to support the front lines in Tengxian to the north at any time.

Remember those arsenals we initially established in Jiawang, the coal mines that are still being mined, and those field airfields that we absolutely cannot afford to lose.

"I'm leaving it all to you. You must guard it like an iron fortress."

"Yes, we swear to defend the base to the death."

After assigning tasks to each department, Lin Feng finally looked at Zhang Bingwen and Xu Zhiming:

"Zhang Bingwen's 112th Division, Xu Zhiming's newly formed 16th Division, and other units directly under the corps..."

I personally led them all to move towards the city as a mobile force.

"We'll observe the Japanese army's subsequent actions before making further plans."

"Yes."

Several officers stood at attention, saluted, and loudly accepted the order.

Everyone's face flushed with excitement.

After all, judging from the map, this is equivalent to the 33rd Army Corps deploying four fully equipped infantry divisions, plus an armored brigade, all at once.

Nearly 70,000 elite troops.

Like a giant iron net, it swept directly over the Japanese 5th Division.

Such boldness and scale are absolutely unprecedented on the battlefield since the start of the Great Xia's resistance against Japan.

After the meeting, the generals left the command post full of energy to return and direct their troops to move their camps and prepare for a major operation.

Lin Feng remained alone in the operations room, gazing at the sand table, lost in thought.

In fact, he knew very well what was going on.

He was not the kind of genius commander with unparalleled military talent.

It cannot compare to that great man from the previous life who, under extremely harsh conditions during the Long March, continuously pulled the enemy troops along, manipulating them like puppets.

They also lacked the keen intuition of those famous generals who could see through the fog of war at a glance.

But he has his advantages.

Absolute technological and equipment advantages, and the foresight of a time traveler.

It possesses an aerial reconnaissance advantage that is difficult for others to match on the battlefield of Daxia.

Moreover, his divisions, brigades, and even battalion-level combat units were all equipped with radios.

He possessed a superior communication and command advantage over the rest of both sides, allowing him to stay informed about the situation at the front and issue orders at any time.

Therefore, the most suitable strategy for him is not to formulate an extremely complex and precise multi-front battle plan from the beginning.

Instead, we'll take it one step at a time and see how it goes.

By leveraging intelligence and mobility advantages, we can force the enemy to make mistakes.

He judged that as long as his tens of thousands of troops pressed forward, forming a semi-encirclement of the vanguard of the 5th Division, he could achieve victory.

The Japanese will definitely make a move.

Currently, this is based on aerial reconnaissance by the Independent Air Force.

A large contingent of Japanese troops is advancing towards Qingcheng Port.

Lin Feng reasonably suspected that this was likely part of the 114th Division of the North China Area Army, which was being used as a reserve force, or some newly established special units by the Japanese.

If we can encircle the 5th Division and force these reinforcements out in advance.

That would be best.

At that time, Qingcheng Port will inevitably be empty.

He could then send Zhao Dashan's armored brigade straight to Qingcheng Port.

Completely destroy the 5th Division's logistics supply base and cut off their retreat.
