As soon as Xiao Yimin finished speaking, the chief of staff pushed the door of the lounge from outside and walked in quickly, and took the door with no intention of urging him.

"How is it?" Xiao Yimin sat down again.

Zeng Chaoran stepped forward and handed the telegram to Xiao Yimin: "This is the official combat sequence and telegram that General Wu Peihu just sent."

Xiao Yimin finished reading it quickly and raised his head and was surprised: "When did Sun Chuanfang defect to Wu Ziyu?"

After Zeng Chaoran took office, he inspected various units in the army for more than three consecutive months, familiar with the situation, and checked a large number of archives and the performance of various units in combat and training over the years. It can be said that he is already very familiar with the generals and divisions of the generals and combat effectiveness of each unit under his command. However, he is relatively unfamiliar with Wu Peihu's troops, who have never been to and are relatively high, so he cannot answer the questions raised by Xiao Yimin.

However, Yang Du, who knew all the domestic forces well, understood the general situation. After receiving the message, he smiled slightly: "It is not surprising that Sun Xinyuan will join Wu Ziyu. First of all, the two were fellow villagers in Shandong, and they worked together in the Beiyang New Military Camp Affairs Office of Marshal Yuan, and they had a good relationship with each other;

"Secondly, after the Hubei Governor Wang Zhanyuan stepped down, Wu Ziyu immediately took over Wang Zhange's big stall. Although Sun Xinyuan, who served as the temporary commander of the Hubei Army, was transferred to the Beijing Army headquarters to serve, he handed over all the more than 5,000 new recruits under his command to Wu Ziyu before leaving. I remember that you had not yet attended the meeting alone, so I probably didn't know about this."

"In addition, Yu Xinyuan is extremely smart, has good leadership, has a high ambition, and is quite arrogant. He will not easily surrender to either party. Therefore, after two years of strolling at the Beijing Army Headquarters, he still has not been able to get Duan Zhiquan and Feng Huafu's heavy use. This time, Wu Ziyu must have invited him, and he valued him very much. He actually gave Sun Xinyuan the double titles of Chief of Staff and Instructor of the Command."

When Ma Gang saw Xiao Yimin turn his head and look at him, his old face turned red and felt uncomfortable. Such an important intelligence and military intelligence bureau did not notice anything, and it has to be said that it was a major work mistake.

Zeng Chaoran reminded: "We can temporarily put Sun Chuanfang's appointment aside. What is important is the changes in the Japanese army in Jinan mentioned in this telegram by General Wu Peihu. Moreover, our understanding of the Japanese army in Yantai is likely to be deviated. Our intelligence originally believed that the Japanese army stationed in Yantai was a brigade, but now a brigade of Japanese army in Yantai has reinforced to Jinan. With Yantai's important strategic position, the Japanese army must have left troops to garrison;

"Secondly, the tension in Jinan City is intensifying. Judging from the Japanese army in Jinan expelled our military and civilians from the Japanese embassy and the Japanese overseas Chinese area and imposed martial law, the Japanese army is pressing against me step by step, as if they are determined to fight a war with us."

Xiao Yimin tried hard to extinguish the cigarette butt: "The Japanese army wanted to defeat us in Jinan with only three infantry brigades, one cavalry squadron, one engineer brigade, and half a spoke brigade? Humph! It's a fool! I want to see how the Japanese army fights! Let's go. Let's discuss specific response plans for each meeting. Wu Peihu probably just arrived at the west bank of Dongping Lake and has two days to prepare for the room."

At 11:40 in the middle of the night, Shandong, Daimiao, Wu Peihubu Middle Road Command, on the west bank of Dongping Lake.

The chief of staff of the General Staff of the Shandong Governor Wu Peihufei, who returned from the patrol, Zhang Qihuang, chief of staff of the General Staff of the Front Enemy Command and commander of the 35th Division, and six generals gathered together again.

Zhang Qihuang put down the two telegrams in his hand and smiled and informed everyone: "Yi Shuai replied and agreed to our action plan, so that our army must ensure the safety of the negotiation team jointly formed by Governor Zhu Qinglan, the Central Government and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and put forward four additional opinions.

"In addition, Yishuai also sent a congratulatory message as the Minister of the Central Military Affairs Office, congratulating Brother Xinyuan on his appointment as Chief of Staff of the Front Enemy of our army and Chief of the 35th Division! It seems that our concerns have gone a little before."

The generals were very happy to hear this and congratulated Sun Chuanfang.

Wu Peihu laughed, raised his hand habitually, scratched the top of his head, which had just been shaved with shiny hair: "Haha! My guess was good before? What a person Yishuai? How could his mind and vision be compared with Duan Zhiquan, Feng Huafu?"

Sun Chuanfang was quite moved. He never expected that Xiao Yimin, who had never met with no friendship, would support him so much. He immediately stood up to thank Wu Peihu, and then said with emotion: "Yi Shuai's mind is really admirable. He will work hard to serve his duties and will never let down the expectations of Yu Shuai and Yi Shuai!"

Wu Peihu smiled again, sat down with satisfaction, turned to Zhang Qihuang and asked, "What are the four additional suggestions from Yishuai?"

Zhang Qiji has a good memory and recited it in full without reading the telegram: "First, it is recommended that our army's middle and southern routes be combined into one, so as to reduce the command links and avoid being attacked by the enemy; Second, the combat missions of the war zone south of Tai'an were handed over to the 53rd Division of Xiao Fei and the 55th Division of Chen Lanting who were about to head north; Third, it is recommended that our army's rear guard forces be at a simple airport in Chongzhou as soon as possible, and the Nanjing headquarters will send eight to ten fighter jets to cooperate with our army's operations; Fourth, it is recommended that the Fifth Regiment of Heavy Artillery belonging to our army continue to march in secret, and the main divisions and brigades will expand the scope of reconnaissance as much as possible, and civilians and merchants are strictly prohibited from entering the ten kilometers of the Heavy Artillery Regiment."

"Are you too worried?" Guard Brigade Commander Guo Xudong said without saying anything.

Wu Peihu immediately lowered his face: "Xudong, do you know how to set up the usual daily marching mileage and marching cordons in ordinary infantry?"

"This..., I really didn't pay attention." Guo Xudong felt a little guilty.

Wu Peihu slapped: "You have definitely not been to the staff office during this period, so you won't know how high the staff team transferred to us by Yishu. Now I will tell you: The officers and soldiers in ordinary infantry in the army have a daily marching mileage of no less than fifty kilometers under the weight of twenty kilometres, and they can marching continuously for ten days without rest. The reconnaissance and guard teams they sent out during the marching are several times higher than ours in terms of quantity and efficiency. Moreover, their marching cordons have three floors, twenty kilometers, ten kilometers and five kilometers, and the second floor of the guard team is usually equipped with radio stations! You should understand now, right?"

Not only Guo Xudong was stunned, but Sun Chuanfang also looked incredible.

Zhang Qihuang laughed twice, broke the embarrassment, and explained to Sun Chuanfang, who had just arrived at the new voyage, "The reason why the divisions under Yishuai won all kinds of battles and were famous all over the world is that their ancestors, marching, garrisoning, combat, etc. have all had very strict regulations. After ten years of battle, they have formed a habit, and this seemingly unimportant habit is their invincible magic weapon."

Wu Peihu immediately sighed: "Don't be surprised, I thought it was incredible before, but after visiting and seeking scriptures by Yishuai's divisions many times, I was deeply moved and had to respect him. Therefore, I kept inviting soldiers and instructors from Yishuai from last year, and selected more than 300 top students from the army to go to the Fourth Army Officer School for further study. Unfortunately, the Fourth Army's education and assessment were very strict, and only half of them were left to enroll. This shows the strictness of Yishuai's military management.

"There is another major thing that I want to follow the examples most but difficult to accomplish for a while, which is to establish a new command system. Yishuai has completed the improvement of the command system. All divisions under his command have established a strong staff team, abolished the brigade-level organization, and the division headquarters directly commands all the infantry regiments, artillery regiments, engineer battalions, singling battalions and all logistics support units including field hospitals.

"In this way, the command links are reduced and the reaction time is shortened. At critical moments, the division commander can directly command combat units at the battalion and company level. It is amazing! After the battle is settled, we have to change the current backward situation, otherwise we will fall far behind the Yishuai and his brothers."

Wu Peihu expressed his feelings and finally turned his energy to the main topic. He discussed the suggestions of the three-way troops that are currently advancing together with the Nanjing Camp. It was not until the sky increased that he came up with a complete action plan.

On April 13, 8 pm, the Japanese Army Headquarters of Jinan.

Lin Quanzhu, the Japanese Minister to China who rushed from Beijing, had a high profile, and the commander of the Japanese Qingdao Garrison Army with a Germanic beard, and the Japanese Consul in Jinan, the special intelligence officers of the Japanese Army Headquarters, the Japanese garrison troops stationed in Jinan, and more than ten civil and military officials gathered together to discuss the increasingly severe situation in Shandong, which is currently being discussed in the Paris Peace Conference, and the three divisions of Wu Peihu's troops took over Shandong's defense, how to ensure Japan's interests in Shandong and the safety of tens of thousands of overseas Chinese.

Lin Quansuke's secretary informed the members of the car meeting about the international situation and the relevant instructions of the Japanese cabinet to "solve the Shandong issue as moderately as possible" and retreated to the back row. Lin Quansuke made a brief summary and politely consulted the opinions of the people of Yasutaro: "God General, please tell me about the military's meaning!"

The Gori Taro is frowning slightly, obviously because he is quite unhappy with Lin Quansuke's knowingly asked questions.

Before dispatching Yantai infantry to assist in the defense of Jinan, Hongo Yasuka had already telegraphed Lin Quanzhu's opinions from the army. Lin Quanzhu came hurried from Beijing, undoubtedly a temporary decision made after receiving instructions from the Japanese cabinet, which obviously did not support the military's opinions.

Although he was dissatisfied, Taro Honya was able to understand the difficulties of the Japanese cabinet. After all, the heavy financial pressure and the declining economic situation in Japan are troublesome. It can be said that the Japanese army has no plans and preparations for the Chinese team at all. Therefore, Taro Honya did not hide his opinions: "Analysis of the actions of the new governor of Shandong Wu Peihu, it is very unfavorable to the interests of our great Japanese Empire in Shandong. Moreover, the army in Nanjing has undergone abnormal movements. In addition to the new 53rd Division stationed in Haizhou, which is stationed in Haizhou, entering combat readiness, another elite division under Nanjing, that is, the new 55th Division, has also stopped training and is gathering at the Pukou military training base on the north bank of Nanjing.

"From this, we can draw a conclusion: the Chinese team is threatening the great Japanese team stationed in Shandong with a tough attitude that has never been seen before, so as to achieve their goal of controlling Shandong and restricting the expansion of the power of the great Japanese Empire. In this regard, we must face everything with a tougher attitude!"

As soon as the words of Fang Taro of the people in the meeting fell, the military officers present immediately supported him, and each of them spoke firmly and looked angry, which made Lin Quansuke and several civil servants feel deeply stressed.

Faced with the angry soldiers who were forced to show their conscience, Lin Quanzhu had to take a step back. After winning the time for negotiations in Jinan and the relatively relaxed conditions, he acquiesced to the military's military arrangements that were tough and each frontier pressed forward step by step.
