"In this battle, the main force and militia we dispatched exceeded 500,000."

Seeing the chief of staff coming over after giving the order, and looking at the red arrows on the map representing the march of each unit, the chief spoke with high spirits.

Of these 500,000 troops, there are about 300,000 main forces and 200,000 militiamen. The main force is responsible for combat, and the militiamen are responsible for logistics. There are even many young people and women who actively participate and are responsible for logistics together with the militiamen.

"There are also 100,000 Japanese in Shanxi."

"According to the previous battle loss ratio when we fought head-on with the Japs, the Japs' 100,000 men could wipe out all our 500,000 men."

The chief of staff nodded:

"But times have changed. Our equipment is better than that of the Japs, our firepower is stronger than that of the Japs, and we have air superiority. Now it is the Japs' turn to be beaten."

"It's not just about beating up devils."

The leader shook his head. Perhaps he was influenced by Li Yunlong's killing of General Naosaburo Okabe. The leader's tone was domineering and fierce: "I will kill 100,000 Japanese in Shanxi in this battle!"

The chief of staff was slightly shocked. With the current strength of the Eighth Route Army, it would not be difficult to defeat the 100,000 Japanese in Shanxi.

But it is still very difficult to annihilate them all.

100,000 Japs are not 100,000 pigs. The Japs will resist, and they will fight to the death.

Japanese soldiers have been brainwashed with the spirit of Junguoism and Bushido since childhood. In terms of fighting will, Japanese soldiers are second to none in the entire world.

Many Japanese soldiers received military training from childhood, and the Japanese army's combat effectiveness was also very strong.

In a desperate situation, the Eighth Route Army would probably suffer heavy losses.

The previously formulated combat plan was to eliminate most of the Japs in Shanxi and drive the remaining Japs to Hebei Province.

Since the chief wants total annihilation, as an excellent chief of staff, one should not raise objections, but figure out how to achieve the strategic goals of the head of the headquarters.
