What Yang Jing, Ma Tong and Rake Ear didn't know was that above the previous wine game, what Yang Jing was worried about had really come true.

Not long after they left the war zone governor's headquarters, Li Delin received a telegram from the old man from Wuhan.

The telegram ordered the Fifth Theater of Operations to concentrate its forces and prepare for a strategic decisive battle with the Japanese army in North China!

Defeat it in one fell swoop!

In order to enhance the strength of the Fifth Theater and increase the confidence of Li Delin, Bai Jiansheng and others, the old man transferred the 74th Army, which had just completed replenishment and recuperation, to Xuzhou to participate in the war.

Inside the Commander's Department of the Fifth Theater of Operations.

General Li Delin, who was already a little drunk, took the message sent by the old man, and smiled bitterly at Bai Jiansheng on the side: "Brother Jiansheng, it seems that Yang Jing's worries are not unreasonable!"

Some people were really carried away by the victory in front of them!"

Bai Jiansheng comforted: "Duke De, no matter what, we have at least one more 74th Army, such an elite reinforcement is available, and the current battle situation has not deteriorated."

Moreover, even if it really deteriorates, we can deploy in advance and change our strategy! After all, the generals are outside, and the military orders are not subject to it!

Moreover, don't we still have such a heroic army as the Tiger Ben Regiment that has repeatedly created miracles? ”

Li Delin could only smile helplessly.

……

After Yang Jing, Ma Tong, and Rake Er returned to the regiment headquarters, Ma Haifeng, Wang Dali, and Bi Yuntao had already arranged the troops.

Keep the affairs of the battalions in order!

After Yang Jing encouraged them, he took the lead to rest!

Ma Tong, Rake Ears and others are the same, they can finally get a good night's sleep tonight!

Almost all of them fall asleep!

It smells so good!

Yao Shujun, who was taking care of the wounded in the field hospital, learned that Yang Jing was very drunk, and because he was worried about his body, he specially made a bowl of sobering soup.

It's just that when she brought the boiled decanting soup to Yang Jing's room.

Yang Jing had already fallen asleep, and only a faint snoring kept coming from his nostrils.

Seeing that the beloved man looked tired and embarrassed, he didn't even wash his face and feet, and fell asleep when he came back.

Yao Shujun's heart was distressed for a while.

Don't look at him galloping on the battlefield, killing the little devil in fear, so not majestic.

But a few people know that this man is not a god, and he will be tired.

It's just that at this time, the smile on this man's face, huh? How does it look so ...... Wretched!

"Damn! It's not honest when you're asleep! I must have dreamed of a beautiful girl from some family! ”

Yao Shujun stomped his foot hard, but seemed to be worried about waking up the man, and when the soles of his feet were about to trample on the ground, he took back all his strength.

After a moment, Yao Shujun calmed down the anger in his heart, blew out the oil lamp on the table, and tiptoed towards the door.

…………

In other words, Yang Jing and the brothers of the Tiger Ben Regiment can fall asleep, and the soldiers of the Fifth War Zone can also sleep well.

However, Shouichi Terauchi, who was far away in Beiping, and Naosaburo Okabe and other high-ranking Japanese soldiers in North China couldn't sleep at all.

In just one day, the 10th Division and the 14th Division were all destroyed in Taierzhuang, and the whole army was almost wiped out!

The 114th Division also suffered a defeat in Lianzhuang and retreated to Lianyungang, and finally relied on the support of the Navy's Combined Fleet to survive.

In addition to this, the losses of the 5th Division in the Linyi direction were not small.

Up to now, in order to attack Xuzhou, the Japanese army in North China has lost at least sixty or seventy thousand troops!

These are all the elite imperial army of the empire, and they are the backbone of the Japanese army in North China, and their value is immeasurable!

It is even about to catch up with the predecessor of the Japanese army in Central China, the Shanghai Dispatch Army, in the total casualties of several months on the Songhu battlefield.

The most important thing is that he has not been able to take Xuzhou until now!

Not only did they not take Xuzhou, but even Taierzhuang, the gateway to Xuzhou, was not opened, and even Teng County was taken by China. The army was recaptured.

This made the old devil Shouichi Terauchi very depressed and annoyed, if he didn't pay attention to his identity.

This old devil even wants to cry hysterically, roar and roar, in order to vent his inner grievances and anger!

I think that at the beginning, at the time of the Lugou Bridge Incident, the strength of the Japanese army in North China could be described as invincible and overwhelming!

What a majesty!

Along the way, there is no one in China. The army can hold off its troops!

When attacking Shanxi, Itagaki Seishiro swept away the hundreds of thousands of elite troops of Wei Junru and Yan Laoxi with only half of the division, and easily occupied Taiyuan City, the capital of Shanxi.

Hit China. The army lost its armor and lost thousands of miles.

In the end, he could only flee to the Wutai Mountain area in the northwest of Jin, and the mountainous area of Zhongtiao Mountain in the southern part of Jin.

In just a few months, the Japanese army occupied the whole of North China, which was several times the size of its own territory, and controlled a population of more than 10,000.

Terauchi Shouichi was a great fighter at that time, and he was in the limelight for a while!

However, who would have thought that the North China Imperial Army, with the power of a great victory and the unstoppable majesty, would actually hit a nail in this small Taierzhuang, hit a head and bleed, and damaged tens of thousands of elite imperial troops!

And all this comes from only one person, one army!

Yang Jing, and his Tiger Ben group!

"Yang Jing! Yang Jing! Yang Jing! It's this damn Yang Jing again! Damn it! What an abomination! Sooner or later, one day, I will break his body into pieces to relieve the hatred in my heart!

Yaga! ”

After all, Shouichi Terauchi is a scheming old fox, and his heart is far more determined than ordinary people, so he "snapped" the water cup in front of him and smashed it.

He quickly calmed down, turned his head to his chief of staff, Okabe Naosaburo, and said, "Okabe-kun, at the current situation in Xuzhou, the imperial army is in an unprecedented predicament, do you have a solution?"

Okabe Naosaburo frowned and thought for a long time, then raised his head and said, "Your Excellency, please forgive me for being stupid, for a while, I can't think of a good solution."

However, there is a candidate for the humble position, he is good at strategy, and there should be a solution!"

As if grasping a life-saving straw, Terauchi Shou subconsciously asked eagerly, "Who?" ”

"My Deputy Chief of Staff, Major General Akira Muto!

At the beginning, the 114th Division of the Imperial Army landed from Haizhou Bay, attacked Lianyungang, occupied the Longhai Railway Line, and attacked Xuzhou's strategic plan, which he proposed! Naosaburo Okabe paused and continued, "Although, this plan did not work out in the end.

But the problem is not in the 114th Division, nor in the plan of Major General Muto Akira, but in the fact that Ryosuke Isoya and Kenji Dohihara have two first-class divisions and tens of thousands of elite imperial troops, and they have not even captured a small Taierzhuang!

Not to mention the annihilation of his own army, he also allowed the enemy army to withdraw from Taierzhuang and return to help Nianzhuang!

It is no exaggeration to say that as long as Ryosuke Isoya and Kenji Dohi can hold off the enemy in front of them in Taierzhuang, even if they can't win!

So now, we estimate that we can also receive the good news that the 114th Division of the Imperial Army will attack Xuzhou and occupy the Fifth Theater Headquarters in China! ”

Okabe Naosaburo didn't mention Ryosuke Isoya and Kenji Dohihara, but when he talked about the two, Terauchi Shouichi was suddenly full of anger again.

These two people are simply two useless rice buckets, waste!

Naosaburo Okabe was worried that Shouichi Terauchi couldn't help but explode so that he would harm the pond fish, so he continued at the moment: "Your Excellency Commander, this surprise attack plan of Major General Muto Akira, although it did not work in the end!

But it also caused great passivity to the Chinese army, especially after the 114th Division of the Imperial Army occupied Haizhou Bay.

It is equivalent to inserting a dagger in the back of China's Fifth War Zone, which can threaten to contain them at any time!

Therefore, it can be seen that Major General Muto Akira is still very strategic and smart! ”

Shouichi Terauchi nodded approvingly: "Yo Xi! Reasonable! Call Major General Akira Muto over immediately!"

"Hello!" Okabe Naosaburo bowed slightly, and immediately went to arrange for an adjutant to summon Muto Akira.

The 46-year-old Akira Muto was born in a small landowner family in Shirasui Village, Kamiyijo-gun, Kumamoto Prefecture.

He graduated from the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School in June 1913 and was awarded the rank of Second Lieutenant in Infantry in December.

Seven years later, he was selected to enter the Japanese Army University for further study.

For the 32nd graduating class of the Army University!

In terms of qualifications, it may not be comparable to the predecessors of Terauchi Shouichi, Matsui Ishine, and Hata Shunroku.

But this person has a flexible mind and a lot of tricks, and he once served as the head of the second section of the intelligence section of the Kwantung Army, responsible for intelligence gathering!

It has experience in gathering intelligence, organizing assassinations, and a series of other unconventional combat operations, which many people do not have.

Therefore, it has also trained his command style and character of being unique, not playing cards according to common sense, and liking to make dangerous moves.

The surprise attack on Lianyungang by the 114th Division was a good example.

After receiving the summons notice, Muto Akira sorted out his military uniform and appearance, and then carried his saber and strode to the office of the commander Terauchi Shouichi!

Akira Muto stood in front of the office door and stopped, shouting inside, "Report!"

"Come in!" Naosaburo Okabe heard Akira Muto's voice and turned around in response.

"Hello!" Muto Akira strode in and saluted Terauchi Shouichi and Okabe Naosaburo abruptly, "Your Excellency Commander, Okabe-kun, are you looking for a humble position?"

Okabe Naosaburo waved his hand and said, "Muto-kun, don't be restrained, sit down!"

Your Excellency, Commander, I would like to hear your views on the current situation in Xuzhou. ”

"Hello!" Muto Sho paused heavily, and then sat down on a sofa next to the two.

Terauchi Shouichi glanced at Muto Zhang, who was sitting down, and said without anger: "Muto-kun, the 10th and 14th divisions of the imperial army were all wiped out in the Taierzhuang area, and the attacks of the 114th and 5th divisions were all blocked!"

Now, the military operations of our North China Imperial Army in Xuzhou are all in trouble!

Do you have a solution to this?"

Muto Zhang already knew all this, and immediately bowed his head slightly and said: "Your Excellency Commander, you don't have to worry at all, the battle of Xuzhou, the final victory must belong to my Imperial Japanese Army."

There is no doubt about that!

Because, compared with the Chinese army, we have an absolute advantage in overall strength!

The defeat of the 10th and 14th Divisions of the Imperial Army was just an accident.

It was we who calculated the variable of Yang Jing and the Tiger Bentuan!

As the main forces of the Imperial Army in Central China go north, the area south of Xuzhou, especially the area along the Jinpu Railway, will be occupied by the Imperial Army sooner or later!

At that time, the enemy of Xuzhou will be surrounded by the heavy forces of our two major front armies!

Annihilating it is nothing more than a matter of a gesture!

Therefore, sooner or later, Xuzhou is in the pocket of my Japanese Imperial Army!

Even the strength of the Central China Imperial Army alone is enough to defeat and even completely annihilate the Zhina Army in the Xuzhou area! ”

Shouichi Terauchi nodded thoughtfully, and said: "Muto-kun, what you said is right, with the overall strength of the imperial army, it is a matter of time before you take Xuzhou!"

However, we are now losing so many elite soldiers of the Imperial Army in a series of defeats.

Even the Wing Commander of the 14th Cavalry Wing, Kaneto Yasuda, the Wing Commander of the 2nd Infantry Wing, Captain Ishiguro Sadazo Osa, and the Wing Commander of the 40th Infantry Wing, Yoshio Nagano.

As well as Major General Se Wuping of the 27th Infantry Brigade, Chief of Staff of the 10th Division, Tsutsumi Bujia Gui Dasa, etc., all excellent imperial army commanders were successively shattered in the hands of the Chinese army!

This is an unprecedented shame for our Imperial Japanese Army! ”

As soon as he thought of this, Terauchi Shouichi's mood couldn't help but sink, and after a pause, the old devil continued to speak: "So, Muto-kun, I am now asking you for a solution, how to recover our losses as soon as possible, reorganize the majesty of our North China Legion, and regain the initiative and advantage of our North China Legion on the battlefield in the north of Xuzhou!" ”

Muto Akira said: "Your Excellency Commander, in fact, the best way is to increase the troops!"

As long as there are enough troops and strong enough combat effectiveness, we can regain the initiative on the battlefield.

However, after more than half a year of campaigning in North China, the Imperial Army conquered the vast North China region.

But because of this occupation area, which is much larger than our own territory, at least half of our forces are scattered all over the country to control these occupation areas.

Maintain law and order and stability in these occupied territories.

In addition, the 10th and 14th Divisions of the Imperial Army were almost completely wiped out in Taierzhuang, and it was almost impossible to have the strength to fight again in a short period of time!

Therefore, unless the base camp is reinforced, we will not have any extra troops to be sent to the Xuzhou battlefield in a short period of time. ”
