Li Hong was a colonel, and sitting in the conference room seemed a bit out of place. Of course, all the officers present knew Li Hong's ability, and they didn't feel anything wrong.
Soon, Li Zongyao arrived at the headquarters with his secretary and several accompanying officers.
Seeing Li Zongyao's arrival, Li Hong and other officers stood up abruptly.
"Commander Li!!!"
"Sit, sit, everyone sit down!"
After Li Zongyao let everyone take their seats, he immediately asked the adjutant behind him to read the frontline battle report.
Chen Dinghan picked up the information and reported loudly: "Yesterday, the vanguard of the 10th Division of the Japanese Army received reinforcements and launched a third onslaught against Taierzhuang City. The Japanese army successively dispatched dozens of chariots and dozens of aircraft..."
"The Japanese invaders concentrated their forces and firepower, severely destroyed Taierzhuang, and broke in from the north gate. The officers of our 183rd regiment and 187th regiment fought back with the Japanese army many times. The lost position was regained. At present, two-thirds of the positions in the village have fallen into the enemy's hands. However, the garrison in the village did not retreat until death, defending their positions, and vowed to fight the Japanese invaders to the end..."
After listening to the report on the battle situation on the front line, the officers in the meeting room soon began to discuss.
Li Hong sat quietly on the conference table, glanced at the officers talking around, and at the same time, he was thinking in his brain.
The report on the battle situation on the front line just now is very clear. The Battle of Taierzhuang has just begun, and two-thirds of Taierzhuang's internal positions have been lost.
Li Hong didn't expect the devils to attack so quickly. At the speed of the devils' attack, the Taierzhuang battlefield was very critical.
Bai Wenqing and Li Zongyao looked at each other tacitly, then, Bai Wenqing cleared his throat and asked all the officers and generals.
"Everyone, the Japanese army has assembled three divisions in the outskirts of Taierzhuang, and the leading troops of the 10th Division of the Japanese army have launched several strong attacks on the defenders in our village. You must be very clear about the situation in Taierzhuang. Everyone, please tell us about your opponents. Strategies and insights."
After a while, a lieutenant general stood up first, and said: "Commanders and colleagues, Taierzhuang is an important place for our Xuzhou gate. Once Taierzhuang falls into the hands of the Japanese invaders, our army will become extremely passive, and may even Affecting the battle of Taierzhuang, I suggest sending more main forces to the Taierzhuang area to regain the lost main position!"
Then, a general sitting opposite Li Hong got up and said: "Everyone, the Japanese army has only one regiment to attack Taierzhuang, and the 4th Osaka Division of the Japanese army outside the village has been fighting passively. There is nothing to worry about. We can Immediately reinforce Taierzhuang's defenders, encircle and wipe out the land within the village, and completely retake Taierzhuang..."
After the two generals finished speaking, Li Zongyao and Bai Wenqing nodded slightly.
The rest of the officers and generals did not have any objections, and expressed their acquiescence in agreeing to reinforcements to regain Taierzhuang's Zhuangnei position.
Li Hong also agreed to immediately reinforce the Taierzhuang defenders, but he disagreed with one thing, that is, the 4th Division of the Japanese Army must not be underestimated. On the contrary, it was the 4th Division that threatened the most.
Li Hong is now a consultant, has the right to speak actively, has a certain right to speak and is convincing.
Since he has different views on combat, Li Hong must of course bring them up in time.
Just when everyone had no objection, Li Hong stood up suddenly.
"Gentlemen, Taierzhuang is the main position of this battle. We should indeed reinforce the defenders to take back the position. However, we must be careful of the 4th Division of the Japanese Army outside Taierzhuang. We must not allow the 4th Division to take advantage of it. , otherwise, the blow they caused us is absolutely unbearable, please consider carefully..."
Li Hong proposed to use heavy troops to guard against the 4th Division. In order to increase the convincing power of his words, he also listed some previous achievements of the 4th Division.
Li Hong knew the combat history of the 4th Division, which was a despised and misunderstood unit.
The real combat power displayed by the 4th Division is comparable to that of the German army. Otherwise, the US military could not have been defeated by such an incompetent division.
In addition, the 10th Army of the German Army of the National Army, known as the Taishan Army, was not inferior to the first-class division of the Japanese Army in combat effectiveness. In the end, it was still defeated by this "trash" division.

In addition to these battle examples, counting the achievements of the 4th Division, there are basically no defeats on the battlefield. Even if there are defeats, the 4th Division of the Japanese Army paid a very small price for casualties.
It may be a fluke for the 4th Division of the Japanese Army to win the opponent once or twice, but if it has defeated a powerful opponent many times, then the 4th Division must have a winning coup that surpasses other Japanese divisions.
In fact, the officers and generals present here are also well aware of the strong combat effectiveness of the 4th Division before.
However, according to the intelligence information held by other generals, it is learned that the 4th Division has long since lost its will to fight and is fighting passively.
Such a wonderful merchant unit, anyone would think that the 4th Division is just a waste unit with the designation of the Class A Division.
Li Hong just proposed to use heavy troops to guard against the 4th Division, which is a tactic that goes against common sense.
Concentrating troops instead of besieging the vanguard of the 10th Division's village, but instead guarding against the 4th Division, which has long lost its combat effectiveness, is really hard to agree and convincing.
In the conference room, most of the officers and generals just shook their heads at Li Hong's opinion.
However, the attitudes of Li Zongyao and Bai Wenqing were not very clear. They neither agreed with Li Hong's combat point of view, nor denied Li Hong's analysis.
Li Hong looked at the rebuttal attitudes of the officers and generals in the meeting room, and then said: "Sirs, although what I just said just now is just my own personal opinion, but I would like to ask, who among you here has really fought against the 4th Division?" ? Who asked for cheap in the hands of the 4th Division?"
"I, Li Hong, think that I am supercilious, and I don't need to take any Japanese divisions seriously. Only the 4th division of the Japanese army, I, Li Hong, dare not pretend to be able to defeat the opponent!"
Li Hong's evaluation of the 4th Division of the Japanese Army is enough to arouse everyone's attention to this wonderful unit.
How about the 5th Division of the Japanese Army?The 21st Brigade, the Flower of the Army, was almost wiped out by the security regiment, so what about the 10th Division?The same is vulnerable to defeat!
Facing the cunning troops of the 4th Division, which often went against common sense, Li Hong was honestly not arrogant enough to defeat them easily.
The 4th Division of the Devils is unpredictable and may even lead to contempt. Other generals may have the confidence to win the 4th Division.
Anyway, Li Hong had never fought against the 4th Division, so he didn't have such blind self-confidence!
Not long after, Li Zongyao said: "Everyone, the words of Consultant Li just now were not self-judgmental. In fact, we don't understand the Japanese 4th Division. Are there few battles where we underestimated our opponents and caused irreparable losses?"
"If it is true what Advisor Li said, we concentrate our forces to encircle and wipe out the enemy in Taierzhuang, and the Japanese 4th Division encircles our reinforcements. Who can bear such losses and responsibilities? Who can bear this national sinner?"
What Li Zongyao said made the other officers and generals who asked were speechless.
The conference room was silent for a while, Bai Wenqing looked at Li Hong who was calm, and said, "Consultant Li, tell me, what can we do to restore Taierzhuang's declining situation?"
In fact, the little Zhuge Bai Wenqing had long thought of a wonderful move to defeat the enemy and defend Taierzhuang. He asked Li Hong this way to test whether Li Hong really had a strategic vision and could be useful.
In the face of major military affairs, Li Hong did not hold back at all, he expressed all his views and strategies in detail.
"Senior officers, I have only two points to say. The first point is that the defenders in the city are defending Taierzhuang, using street fighting to absorb and hold back the enemy's main attacking troops. The three divisions of the Japanese invaders surrounded us."
"When our army completes the encirclement and counterattack, the enemy will inevitably panic. At this time, our army must not take the initiative to attack the 4th Division. We will leave an escape route for the 4th Division, and finally use the superiority of our forces to attack the enemy's 5th and 10th Division. The [-] divisions were defeated one by one..."
After hearing Li Hong's battle plan, many generals were a little confused. Now that the encirclement has been formed, why let the 4th Division go?
After Bai Wenqing knew about Li Hong's battle plan, his eyes suddenly lit up, showing admiration.
Bai Wenqing's strategy of defending the city and tactics of mass encirclement and annihilation were similar to Li Hongda's. However, one difference between the two of them was that Bai Wenqing did not intend to let the 4th Division go.
Of course, Li Hong offered to let go of the 4th Division on his own initiative, and Bai Wenqing, the so-called little Zhuge, quickly understood Li Hong's deep meaning after thinking about it.
The general who had spoken before said again: "Consultant Li, what is the meaning of your claim to let the 4th Division go?"
Before Li Hong could speak, Bai Wenqing stood up abruptly and said, "Consultant Li's true thoughts, let me tell you about them!"
"It is a well-known fact that the 4th Division of the Japanese Army fought passively. Once the encirclement is formed, the 4th Division will inevitably choose to withdraw quickly. If we block the back of the 4th Division, this force will definitely fight with other The two divisions of the Japanese army joined hands with our army to break through the siege..."
