    Seriously speaking, Tang Qiuli is not a qualified corps commander. In recent years, the brigades directly under the corps have basically been in a state of dispersed operations or under the command of other corps. Even after the recent capture of Sumatra Island,  During the battle, six brigades were assigned to the command of Deputy Division Commander Tang Qiusheng to fight in Australia. The remaining ten brigades attacked Sumatra Island and were commanded by Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe. By the time Tang Qiuli arrived on the battlefield, the battle was already approaching.  The end.

    Therefore, these brigade commanders were very happy to see the division commander. In addition to asking about the content of this military meeting, they also asked the division commander how he was. The whole room was noisy and lively. Tang Qiuli was also very happy.  , in the past few years, I have rarely personally commanded the direct corps in combat, and the opportunities to meet with these brigade commanders have naturally become much less. Now, with sixteen brigade commanders, all in their thirties,  I feel very kind and down to earth.

    "Liu Hongzhang, I heard that you have been in the limelight again recently?" Tang Qiuli looked at Liu Hongzhang, the commander of the first brigade, and said with a smile.

    Liu Hongzhang grinned and replied hurriedly: "Sir, please don't praise me. What's the point of being in the limelight? You also know that I am a well-behaved and honest person. I never do anything my superiors ask me to do."  Vague!" He felt like a mirror, the division commander must have known about the battle in Roy Hill City a few days ago.

    "You are quite humble!" Tang Qiuli said with a smile still: "But no matter how you look at it, it is not your Liu Hongzhang style? You traveled thousands of miles alone, and with less than 10,000 soldiers, you fought in the first battle of Roy Hill City and defeated it.  You defeated more than 4,000 Japanese defenders, and it was such a joyous fight that Ito Genzaburo mobilized nearly 40,000 troops for you!"

    "Then. Encircled by the Japanese army on three sides, he remained calm and composed. He commanded the troops to attack with a black tiger and severely damaged the 39th brigade of the Japanese army. More than 20 brigades from the Southeast Mobile Corps and directly affiliated corps participated in the battle. Only you, Liu Hongzhang, dared to  Breaking the rules of the headquarters, fighting the battle, eating meat and drinking soup, how can you not be in the limelight? "

    Liu Hongzhang¡¯s face suddenly fell, and he shrank his neck and became silent.  I feel a little uneasy, why does it sound like there is something in the teacher's words?  I don't know how Deputy Commander Tang reported to the division commander after the battle of Roy Hill City?

    Chu Ziye, the commander of the 4th Brigade, is an old friend with Liu Hongzhang. The relationship between the two of them is hard to say, but they are not convinced by each other and they always compete with each other in everything.  To be honest, he expressed his gratitude to Liu Hongzhang for his courage in fighting three battles in a row and retreating unscathed even when tens of thousands of Japanese troops surrounded him from three sides.  Still admire it.

    However, Chu Ziye believed that he had no chance.  If he also encountered the situation of Roy Hill City, he would have played even better than Liu Hongzhang.  Seeing the teacher say this, he secretly laughed in his heart.  Taking the opportunity to add fuel to the fire, he said: "Commander, you don't know. In recent years, you have rarely personally commanded the direct corps in combat. Brigade Commander Liu does whatever he wants, and he shows a strong disobedience to the control of the Celestial Empire!"

    "That is to say, you, Old Liu, are lucky enough to meet a group of stupid little devils. You are allowed to take advantage of the fat meat that comes to your lips. If the commander of the little devils were replaced by me, more than four thousand people would have to pay back.  If you can defend the city of Royhill and retreat while fighting, with your temper, Old Liu, and you are still chasing after you with red eyes, you have to lead thousands of your people into a ditch. Therefore, Commander, his daring problem,  Get cured!¡±

    Liu Hongzhang was so angry that he glared at Chu Ziye fiercely and said with a grimace: "I said, Lao Chu, you don't mean to say that! Among our dozen or so people, the one who is the most courageous and loves to do extraordinary things  It's you, big man Chu, don't you think so?" He frequently winked at Xiao Jinshan, the commander of the 9th Brigade, Ren Zhaoquan, the commander of the 11th Brigade, and several others.

    A dozen other brigade commanders all burst into laughter. Tang Qiuli held back his laughter and waved his hands and said, "Come on Liu Hongzhang, Deputy Commander Tang has reported to me in detail. You will not be rewarded for your violation of orders."  Punishment equals merit and demerit!¡±

    "Ouch, you scared me into a cold sweat!" Liu Hongzhang breathed a sigh of relief and said: "That's it. I just think that the fighter planes at that time were good. Although the Japs were surrounded on three sides, there was a time difference and the timing was accurate.  , we can still take a bite, does our army have the advantage of mechanized marching?"

    "Oh!" Tang Qiuli looked at Liu Hongzhang thoughtfully and said, "Okay, tell me, what are the strengths and weaknesses of the Japanese troops on the Australian battlefield?"

    Liu Hongzhang thought for a while and replied: "Commander, if we talk about the little devils on the Australian battlefield, I can see what their strengths are. Oh, except for a few divisions who have suffered our losses on the domestic battlefield, they are cautious.  "Most of the Japanese divisions have never fought against our troops. I wonder if arrogance is a strength?"

    The brigade commanders, including Tang Qiuli, burst into laughter. Xiao Jinshan, commander of the 9th Brigade, was so happy that he couldn't breathe and said, "I said Brigadier Liu?, You are really yours, even this can be summed up, what a talent!  "

    "What are the weaknesses of the Japanese troops on the Australian battlefield?" Tang Qiuli asked again with a smile.

    Liu Hongzhang himself was also happy and replied: "To put it simply, there are three points. First, the mobility is too poor. The little devils do not have the rapid mobility of our troops. Therefore, Deputy Division Commander Tang's order in the final stage of the battle in the central battlefield  , absolutely correct, form a capable fast pursuit column, actively look for fighter opportunities, adopt bite-and-go tactics, and let that old devil Ito's trick of luring the enemy deep in, not gain any benefit at all!

    "Secondly, the Japs lack heavy equipment. Therefore, after catching the fighter plane, we can take advantage of the firepower to inflict heavy damage on the enemy before the Japanese reinforcements from around us arrive, and then quickly evacuate the battlefield.  , even if the little devil reinforcements arrive, they will only be in trouble!"

    "The third point is that the Japs don't have air supremacy. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare fight three battles in one day in Roy Hill City! That's all I've summarized. Other brigade commanders can add to it!"

    Liu Hongzhang said quite complacently, attracting the looks of contempt from more than a dozen brigade commanders. However, Liu Hongzhang¡¯s summary hit the nail on the head, ¡°Commander, I also deeply understand the points summarized by Brigadier Liu.  I have experience!" Chu Ziye rarely disagreed with him.

    "That's a good summary!" Tang Qiuli praised, "However, two points have changed. Recently, the Japanese army purchased a large number of arms from Italy, mainly large-caliber artillery, tanks and combat aircraft. Therefore, in future battles,  , the Japanese army¡¯s firepower and air superiority will undergo great changes, but as for its mobility, it will remain the same.¡±

    "Based on this situation, you can carefully consider how to fight future battles after you go back! Also, the staff office will send you information about the Italian army's active equipment. Take a good look at it to know yourself and the enemy!"

    "Lack of mobility. The short legs of the little devil are a fatal barrier. Australia is a vast territory and has a huge maneuvering space on the battlefield. It is most suitable for mechanized troop maneuvers. Even if the little devil adds heavy artillery, tanks and combat aircraft, it cannot overcome this problem.  It's all in vain!" Chu Ziye rushed ahead of the others and expressed his opinion in a hurry.

    Tang Qiuli was very happy. The brigade commanders under his command were quite clear-headed and understood the weaknesses of the Japanese army. As for the so-called fierce fighting style of the Japanese soldiers, after several years of competition, they had seen through the essence.  It's not worth mentioning, but it turns out that I was worried that after fighting a few smooth battles, everyone's head was burning?

    However, Tang Qiuli still reminded: "Although the Italian army is not famous in the world, the performance of its current weapons and equipment is quite good, much stronger than the Japanese army's active equipment. Therefore, it cannot be fought against the Japanese army.  It is particularly important to treat future operations with old ideas and experience!¡±

    "Hey! Commander, we have never seen the performance of Italian products on the battlefield. How do you know they are better than the little devils?" Liu Hongzhang suddenly discovered this and asked curiously.

    "Oh! Are you knowledgeable about paying attention to everything!" Tang Qiuli was stunned for a moment and said: "I have read the relevant intelligence information first. Furthermore, if the performance is not superior, can the Japanese purchase in large quantities!" The last one  In a word, it is obviously a cover-up.

    "Oh!" The brigade commanders were convinced. They didn't see the flash of nostalgia in Tang Qiuli's eyes. How could they not know this? In future generations, they could make up a story just by searching on the Internet.  This map of the main weapons installed by each army on the battlefields of World War II is as detailed as the designers and engineers who originally designed and manufactured these weapons!

    A few days later, on September 5, a military meeting with the largest number of officers participating in the history of the independent division was held on time. At the meeting, the division chief of staff, Major General Zhao Yuhe, emphatically announced the basic guidance outline for the Australian campaign plan.  , this combat plan still implements Tang Qiuli's consistent command style, but only stipulates the core regulations and the deployment of troops of each corps.

    As for how to fight, the commanders of each corps can make a combat plan on the fly based on the specific situation of the enemy they face, and submit it to the division commander for approval. Even the brigade commanders can also come up with the most suitable plan based on the combat plan of the corps headquarters.  The brigade combat plan is a typical thinking of delegating power and not doing things in their own way.

    What makes Liu Hongzhang, Chu Ziye and other directly affiliated corps brigade commanders happy is that the advantages and disadvantages of the Australian Japanese troops they summarized were used as the focus of this meeting and communicated to each corps for reference. This made Liu Hongzhang and the others' faces light up.  I am quite proud that the military meeting lasted for two days. After the meeting, the commanders of each corps and the commanders of each brigade rushed back to the troops and began to mobilize the troops in accordance with the spirit of the meeting and began to make pre-war deployments.

    However, Deputy Division Commander Tang QiushengThe commanders of the two fleets in the north and south of the Independent Division, Tang Qiuquan and Amosiyev, the commanders of the two aviation groups, Le Yiqin and Liu Cuigang, the former Australian battlefield aviation commander Wu Zhenjiang, and the commander of the armored forces, Battelle, were all dismissed.  Left alone.
