Li Delin calmed down for a while, and said: "By the way, Brother Jiansheng, as Yang Jing said, the Japanese spies in Xuzhou City are very likely to be ready to move with Liu Ziliang's eastward transfer, and they want to copy the surprise attack plan of Jinling City!"

Therefore, we should strengthen our precautions against the headquarters in order to be in order!

We must not repeat the mistakes of the Nanjing Garrison Command! ”

Bai Jiansheng said with a smile: "Duke De, I have already taken precautions against this point.

In my opinion, we should take retreat as advance, and it is too passive to just strengthen precautions. ”

"Oh?" When Li Delin heard this, he immediately became interested, and hurriedly asked: "Brother Jiansheng, I don't know how to retreat as the way to advance?" ”

Bai Jiansheng said: "The Japanese spies lurking in Xuzhou City are our henchmen!"

We just took this opportunity to show the enemy weakness, tighten the outside and loosen the inside, and lure the devil spies to come and sneak attack!

And then we'll catch them all! ”

After hearing this, Li Delin couldn't help but praise: "Wonderful! Brother Jiansheng deserves to be Xiao Zhuge ! ”

…………

The picture pulls back to Taierzhuang.

Sun Fanglu's group army headquarters was located on the south bank of the canal, not far from Taierzhuang.

After receiving a telegram from the headquarters of the theater commander, the communications staff officer on duty immediately realized the seriousness of the situation, immediately turned around and went out with the telegram in hand, and ran straight to the residence of General Sun Fanglu, commander of the group army.

"What? The Japanese army actually attacked Lianyungang by sea? It's broken! After listening to the report of the communications staff officer, General Sun Fanglu suddenly lost all sleep, and as soon as he lifted the futon covering his body, he turned over and jumped up from the bed.

Because as a high-ranking commander who has been on the battlefield for a long time, he has long studied the map of the entire Fifth War Zone.

I know the location of Lianyungang well and know the importance of Lianyungang.

While dressing, Sun Fanglu ordered loudly: "Go and wake up the others immediately!" ”

The communications staff officer said: "Sir, the lowly post has already let others call!" ”

Sun Fanglu simply put on his pants, then put on his coat, strode out, and rushed towards his headquarters while dressing.

In a short time, all the officers of the 2nd Army at and above the regimental level were woken up and rushed to the headquarters one after another.

After everyone arrived, Sun Fanglu immediately told the story of the Japanese 114th Division's sneak attack on Lianyungang by sea at the fastest speed.

General Chi Fengcheng, the commander of the 31st Division, was the first to speak: "Sir, now that Xuzhou's troops are extremely empty, with only one Liu Ziliang's 68th Army, it may be difficult to resist the advance of the Japanese 114th Division!"

If you are not careful, not only Xuzhou is in danger, but even us, as well as the 40th Group Army and the 59th Army on the Linyi side, are at risk of being dumplings by the Japanese army!

I wonder what instructions the Chief's Department has? ”

Sun Fanglu didn't say a word, and directly handed over the message to Chi Fengcheng.

After reading it, Chi Fengcheng was also surprised: "It turned out to be a call from the chairman of the committee, asking us to obey Yang Jing's command?" ”

"Fengcheng, what do you think?" Sun Fanglu felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, after all, he was an army general and the commander-in-chief of a group army.

Although he was born in a miscellaneous brand, Rong Ma has been in a long life, and his qualifications are higher than that of Yang Jing, a rising star.

Previously, Yang Jing was only asked to serve as a tactical adviser in the Fifth War Zone, providing tactical guidance. He is still the main conductor, so Sun Fanglu can barely accept it.

But now, Chairman Chiang actually ordered him to obey Yang Jing's command and cooperate with the Tiger Ben Regiment in battle.

Although it is for the sake of the overall situation, it is impossible to say in my heart that there is no mustard.

Therefore, Sun Fanglu wanted to hear Chi Fengcheng's opinion.

Chi Fengcheng has followed Sun Fanglu for many years, and when Sun Fanglu was the company commander, he was the platoon commander under Sun Fanglu.

Therefore, Chi Fengcheng basically figured out the thoughts of his old boss very thoroughly.

He certainly didn't dare to disobey the chairman's order, he just wanted to find a step for himself.

So Chi Fengcheng followed his mind and said: "Sir, now that the battle situation is critical, and there are orders from the chairman, we should take the overall situation first."

Yang Jing, you have also seen it, he is never arrogant, and he is humble and polite, not arrogant and arrogant.

He is selfless and selfless, and he is willing to put the tiger group in a trap for the sake of the overall situation, unlike others, who always think about his own interests!

It is no exaggeration to say that in yesterday's battle, if there was no Tiger Regiment, not to mention whether Taierzhuang could be defended, at least my 31st Division would probably be wiped out.

And the lowly will definitely not see you!

Besides, Yang Jing's command ability to lead the troops into battle, sir, you have also seen it,

Cooperating with such a national hero who has made great achievements and is admired by all the people will never disgrace your prestige, sir!

Even if you win this battle, your name will be praised and revered by the world!

Others want such an opportunity, but they can't get it! ”

Sun Fanglu was waiting for these words, and immediately got off the donkey.

However, in order not to lose face, he still pretended to be embarrassed and sighed and said, "Hmm! What you said in Fengcheng is also reasonable, as a soldier, you should put the country and the nation first!

Well, follow the orders of the chairman! ”

After a pause, Sun Fanglu's momentum changed suddenly, and he continued: "Since Advisor Yang has made a military order to defeat the 10th and 14th divisions of the Japanese army in two days, he must take action immediately!"

Order all the officers and men to get up and assemble immediately and get ready for battle! ”

…………

It is worth mentioning that due to the urgency of time, the Tang Keqin group only had the vanguard of the 52nd Army, and arrived in the area of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal by train.

According to the original plan, they were moving to the mountainous area northwest of Taierzhuang overnight, so that after the defenders of Taierzhuang launched a counterattack, they made a detour to the rear of the Japanese army, cut off the retreat of the Japanese army, and annihilated them in the area of Taierzhuang!

And the reason why it operated overnight was to avoid the reconnaissance of the Japanese army and achieve tactical suddenness!

After receiving the telegram order from the chairman, Tang Keqin suddenly felt full of fire.

It is a shame for him to let himself, a dignified army general, obey the command and transfer of a hairy junior like Yang Jing.

Of course, he did not dare to disobey the chairman's orders in the open.

So the policy of procrastination was adopted.

Fortunately, General Li Delin not only forwarded the chairman's telegram to Tang Keqin, but also passed it on to several army commanders under Tang Keqin's command.

Among them, the 52nd Army, as the vanguard force, was the first to receive this telegram.

General Guan Zhidao, the commander of the 52nd Army, had no doubts about this telegram, nor was he dissatisfied.

Because although his qualifications and military rank are higher than Yang Jing's, his combat exploits are far inferior.

Moreover, he also thinks that his tactical command ability is far inferior to Yang Jing, if this battle is commanded by him, let alone defeat the Japanese 10th Division and the 14th Division, I am afraid that he will be difficult to solve with just one 10th Division.

In addition, Guan Zhidao is a backbone officer of the Whampoa department, and the chairman's order is like a holy decree to him, which is absolutely obeyed!

Moreover, as a soldier, the most admired person is the strong!

General Guan Zhidao is naturally no exception, and he also admires Yang Jing's brilliant achievements!

For this reason, he also specially collected information about Yang Jing, knowing that Yang Jing was very humble, even if he made immortal military exploits again and again, he never took credit for himself, nor did he talk about his military exploits.

Therefore, General Guan Zhidao has no doubts about Yang Jing as the nominal commander of this battle.

After receiving the order forwarded by the Theater Commander's Department, General Guan Zhidao took the initiative to contact Yang Jing and inquire about the next battle plan.

…………

The picture is pulled to Taierzhuang.

After receiving a telegram from the Theater Commander's Department and obtaining the temporary command of the battle, Yang Jing immediately set up a joint command center.

With a solemn face, he said to everyone in the headquarters: "Now the situation has reached the point of 100,000 urgency! So we have to be quick!

Otherwise, once Liu Ziliang's troops can't hold the village, the devil can directly enter Xuzhou, where the army is empty!

At that time, we will also be in the predicament of being attacked on our backs!

Even the 40th Army and the 59th Army in the Linyi direction are at risk of being surrounded on all sides!

Therefore, this battle is not only about the fate of our Tiger Regiment, but also about the fate of our Fifth War Zone, and even the fate of the whole of China! ”

The first battalion commander Bi Yuntao couldn't wait to take the lead and said: "Tuanza, our battalions are ready, what do you want to do, you can give an order!" ”

Yang Jing said: "According to the information shared by the military commanders, because the railway line around the railway station was destroyed, most of the baggage and materials of the 10th and 14th divisions of the Japanese army are still placed in Tengxian County.

And in order to capture Taierzhuang, the Japanese army mobilized all the main infantry in the field to Taierzhuang.

The total number of troops left in Teng County, together with the baggage troops, is only the size of a wing, about 3,000 people!

There are not many troops in Fuji County, but it is extremely important for the 10th and 14th divisions of the Japanese army!

Therefore, we should take Teng County as a breakthrough point and take the lead in attacking Teng County!

Once Fuji County is attacked, the two old devils, Ryosuke Isoya and Kenji Dohihara, will definitely mobilize heavy troops to come back! ”

Yang Jing first made a detailed analysis of the current situation, and then his face changed, and he ordered with an awe-inspiring expression: "Communication soldiers, immediately send my order, let the 52nd Army immediately rush to Teng County, at all costs, must take Teng County in the shortest possible time!"

In order to cut off the retreat of the 10th and 14th divisions of the Japanese army, and supplies! ”

"Then, leave part of the troops to garrison Teng County, and the rest of the main force will go south along the railway, and advance north and south with our Tiger Ben Regiment, and attack in front and back!"

"Order the entire 2nd Army to go out, immediately cross the canal north, go around to the rear of the 10th and 14th divisions of the Japanese army, and prepare to ambush the reinforcements of the 10th and 14th divisions of the Japanese army back to Tengxian!

After succeeding, they immediately continued to attack the back of the main force of the Japanese army, and strive to annihilate the 10th and 14th divisions of the Japanese army in one fell swoop! ”

Yang Jing first made arrangements for the communication troops, and then said: "When the battle began with the 52nd Army's attack on Teng County, the whole regiment attacked and pinned down the main forces of the 10th and 14th Divisions of the Japanese Army from the front, so that they could not get out and evacuate, and there was no time to transfer too many troops back to help Teng County!" ”

"The first battalion, the second battalion, and the supplementary battalion will attack from the north of the city!"

"The third and fourth battalions are roundabout, and the artillery regiment is fully open artillery support!"

"The sharpshooter company is divided into three ways to cooperate in the battle!"

"The baggage battalion, the Dragon Soul Special Operations Brigade, the guard company, the reconnaissance company, and the cavalry company serve as reserves!

Do you have any questions? ”

Everyone promised in unison: "No! ”

Yang Jing waved his hand and ordered: "Then carry out the order!" ”

"Yes!" The crowd saluted and left.

"Rake your ears and wait!"

The commander of the artillery battalion had just gotten up, but he was stopped by Yang Jing, so he asked, "Tuanzao, do you have any other instructions?" ”

"Hmm!" Yang Jing nodded and said, "For this battle, I specially applied to the Command for a batch of secret weapons, which are now placed in the warehouse of the baggage battalion.

Wait a minute, take some of your brothers to the baggage camp and pick them up. ”

The rake's ears lit up, and he couldn't wait to ask: "Tuanza, what is the secret weapon?" ”

Yang Jing said: "Napalm." ”

"Napalm?" The rake ear took it for granted: "Is it like an incendiary bottle?" ”

A grim smile appeared on the corner of Yang Jing's mouth, and he said slowly: "It's much more powerful than the Molotov cocktail!" Moreover, you can also use field artillery to fire! ”

The reason why Yang Jing dared to set up Haikou to defeat the 10th and 14th divisions of the Japanese army in two days was because of the existence of napalm, a big killing weapon!

Even, he was sure that he would settle the battle in one day!

The reason why I say two days is just because I don't want to say it too full and absolutely.

At that moment, Yang Jing briefly explained the power of napalm, as well as the method of launching, and the aspects that need to be paid attention to to the rake ear, then turned his head to look at Zhao Hong, the commander of the baggage battalion, and said: "Battalion commander Zhao, you and the rake ear go over, and let the brothers of the baggage battalion send these secret weapons to the position of the front-line artillery battalion!" ”

"Yes!"

Zhao Hong happily accepted the order.

With the departure of Rake Ear and Zhao Hong one after another, only Yang Jing, Wang Dali, Ma Tong, Long Yun, and Tian Cheng and others were left in the headquarters.

Chief of Staff Ma Haifeng, because he was also the commander of the supplementary battalion, also left the command and mobilized his supplementary battalion.

…………

After Guan Zhidao received Yang Jing's telegram order, he immediately led the 52nd Army out of the mountainous area and ordered Zheng Guiting, the commander of the 2nd Division, to lead his troops to attack Tengxian County.

The commander of the 25th Division led his troops directly to the north of Tengxian County to cut off the northward escape route of the enemy defenders in Tengxian County.

At the same time, in order to prevent other Japanese troops from rushing south to support when they learned that Tengxian was attacked!

Sun Fanglu personally led the 27th, 30th, and 31st divisions under his command to carry out Yang Jing's order, cross the canal north, and bypass Taierzhuang!

After arriving at the designated location, they first sabotaged part of the railway from Taierzhuang to Tengxian. Then they set up ambushes on both sides of the road, only waiting for the devils of the 10th and 14th Divisions to come back or retreat.

On the other side, Zheng Guiting, the commander of the 2nd Division under Guan Zhidao, and Zhang Yaoming, the commander of the 25th Division, were both born in Huangpu and served the country. A famous general of the army.

The use of troops is fast and accurate.

After leaving the mountainous area, the 2nd Division soon rushed to the outside of Tengxian County.
