Xuzhou, the Fifth Theater Governor's Department.

After General Li Delin received the good news that the defenders of Taierzhuang had defeated the Japanese attacking troops again, he was pleasantly surprised.

But when he learned that the Japanese army had violated international conventions and used poison gas bombs, he immediately fell into endless anger.

I couldn't help but be furious: "Damn! It is really reprehensible that these inhumane Japanese devils dare to violate international conventions and use poison gas bombs! ”

General Bai Jiansheng frowned and said: "Duke De, since the Japanese dared to commit such a monstrous bloody case in Nanjing, it is completely reasonable to use poison gas bombs in order to deal with the Tiger Ben Regiment.

What we have to do now is, first, to immediately report this matter to the commission, and let the commissioner expose the inhumane and inhumane acts of the Japanese army through the media at home and abroad!

Second, immediately inform the local method of dealing with the Japanese poison gas bombs, so as to prevent other units from being poisoned by the Japanese army again! ”

"Hmm!"

Li Delin nodded heavily in agreement and adopted Bai Jiansheng's proposal.

……

Wuhan.

The chairman of the committee does not want to use the power of the Western powers to mediate or force the Japanese army to cease the war!

Now, he's finally jumped at the chance.

Without thinking about it, he immediately held a press conference and disclosed the news of the Japanese army's flagrant violation of international conventions and the use of poison gas bombs in Taierzhuang through domestic and foreign media.

After this news was publicized and disclosed by the domestic and foreign media, it was immediately like a bomb falling into a manure pit.

It has caused a huge storm of public opinion at home and abroad.

Dozens of well-known media at home and abroad, such as the British Times and BBC, the Soviet Union's Pravda, the United States' New York Times, and so on, have spoken out against Japan's inhumane behavior.

……

Shanghai.

American Concession, Field Family Office.

Alice Field's second uncle, Alice Field, the field's Asian-based spokesman, slowly put down the newspaper in his hand, picked up a cup of coffee next to him, and took a sip.

A different smile appeared in his mouth: "This Yang Jing is really a military genius, the Japanese even used poison gas bombs, and they still lost the battle."

It seems that we have to reassess the war between Japan and China. ”

A middle-aged man in a suit who looked like an assistant next to him said: "Second master, do you think that China can still achieve the final victory in this war?" ”

Ross Field smiled: "If it was before, I wouldn't think China would have won, but now it'......"

The assistant was surprised: "Second master, what do you mean?" Is it because of Yang Jing's variable? ”

Ross Field nodded and said, "Not bad! ”

The assistant said: "With only one Yang Jing, you may be able to win a local war, but if you want to reverse this entire war, it still seems that it is still like a grasshopper shaking a tree, there is not much difference, right?"

For example, now China's Fifth War Zone seems to have achieved a little victory in Taierzhuang.

However, as long as the Japanese army in Central China marched northward on a large scale, the rout of the Fifth Theater was only a matter of time. ”

This assistant has been stationed in China all year round and has become a China expert, so he can not only speak fluent Chinese, but also speak a lot of idioms.

Rose Field shook his head and said, "Henry, you still underestimate this Yang Jing too much.

Although he is only the head of a small group, his significance to China has even surpassed that of their chairman.

The Tiger Bentuan, a winning division, has long been China. A flag for the army!

And Yang Jing is not only a national hero of China, but also a countless Chinese people. The spiritual beliefs of the military and civilians.

It can be said that as long as the Tiger Ben Group is always victorious and undefeated, it will always be able to inspire China. The morale of the army strengthened their confidence in the victory of the anti-Japanese resistance.

The power of this kind of belief may not be able to see significant results in the short term.

But don't forget, after all, Japan is only an island country, and their war potential is very limited, so to speak, far from being comparable to China.

So as long as the battle line is lengthened over time, the Japanese army and China . The gap in the strength of the armed forces will be infinitely narrowed due to various factors such as humanities and geography.

Once the Japanese army is mired in this war, it will not be able to defeat China in a short period of time, and after losing its vigor, it will be more and more difficult to defeat China headed by the general government! ”

Henry fell into deep thought.

Rose Field didn't care, and after taking another sip of coffee, he continued: "I really want to find an opportunity, hurry up and meet this Yang Jing, and start our field family as soon as possible to cooperate with him!" ”

……

The same conversation is taking place in other parts of the country and abroad.

Many Western powers, as well as those top big families, have started a new round of evaluation, making all kinds of precautionary plans and plans for the future national fortunes and family fate.

…………

Beiping, the headquarters of the Japanese North China Front.

Shouichi Terauchi also got the news.

The old devil's face was almost crooked, and he lifted off the water glass, pen and ink, and documents and other items on the desk in front of him.

There was a lot of commotion, and it fell all over the ground.

Terauchi Shou's eyes almost wanted to breathe fire, gritted his back molars, and scolded hatefully: "Yagaya Road! Damn, really hateful!

This Ryosuke Isoya is really a useless waste, using poison gas bombs, he can't even capture Taierzhuang!

And this Kenji Tohihara, what does he eat!

How dare you claim to be the most outstanding spy in the history of the Imperial Japanese Garrison in China!

I think he's also a useless piece of waste!

Can gas bombs be used casually? ”

The chief of staff on the side, Okabe Naosaburo, comforted: "Your Excellency Commander, there is no need for us to be angry, we care too much about these so-called international public opinions, since our Japanese Empire has created poison gas bombs, it will be used sooner or later."

Didn't the Nanjing incident also arouse huge international public opinion in the first place?

You can also see the final result, don't those Western countries just move their lips and stop it?

The government of China wants to use international public opinion to check and balance our Imperial Japanese Army, but that is simply a fool's dream! ”

Terauchi Shouyi: "This time, that time; At the beginning, our Japanese Imperial Army won the victory in the Battle of Songhu and the Battle of Nanjing, and those Western countries naturally did not do anything.

But now, with the successive defeats of our Imperial Army in North China, it is difficult to guarantee that those Western countries will not have any other crooked thoughts! ”

Okabe Naosaburo said: "Your Excellency Commander, I just got the news that the 1st Fleet of the Navy and the 114th Division of the Imperial Army will arrive in Lianyungang by tonight at the latest.

As long as our surprise attack plan is completed, we can easily defeat the Fifth War Zone of China!

It is only a matter of time before the defenders of Taierzhuang are completely annihilated.

What's more, the Central China Imperial Army has also begun to move north! ”

"Hmm!"

Hearing this news, Shouichi Terauchi's distorted face finally eased a little.

…………

Above the surface of the Yellow Sea.

When Yang Jing led the Huben Regiment and the Japanese 10th and 14th Divisions to confront Taierzhuang, the naval transport fleet transporting the Japanese 114th Division and a task force of the 1st Fleet arrived from Qingdao.

Already under the cover of night, quietly approached the waters of Lianyungang.

After some planning.

The Japanese decided to land in the early morning, when the defenders of Lianyungang were most tired and at the same time most distracted.

At that time, the country. All the main forces of the Fifth Theater of Operations were deployed along the Jinpu Railway, as well as on the Huai River defense line in the south, to resist the northward advance of the Japanese army in Central China.

Lianyungang is garrisoned by only one local security regiment and several police gendarmerie units in the city.

The total strength is only 2000, not to mention a sneak attack, even if it is a head-to-head battle.

These 2,000 local miscellaneous troops could not be the opponent of the elite 114th Division of the Japanese army.

The reason why the devil chose to land at night was just to catch the defenders off guard.

After resolving the battle as quickly as possible, it can directly rush west along the Longhai Railway Line overnight to attack Xuzhou and carry out a surprise attack on the fifth theater of operations.

So as to directly end the entire battle of Xuzhou and win this battle!

It's night.

At twelve o'clock in the morning, in the direction of Lianyungang's Linhai Wharf.

Under the cover of night, a large number of Japanese troops were quietly approaching the pier in the direction of the pier on landing ships and rubber boats.

It was late at night and the wind was bitterly cold!

Most of the hundreds of defenders on the docks, with the exception of a few patrols who were listlessly standing guard and patrolling, were sleeping in the warm barracks.

It's not that they are low in vigilance, but no one thought that the Japanese army would sneak attack Lianyungang from the sea.

Don't say these ragtag defenders are unexpected.

Even Li Delin, Bai Jiansheng and others never thought of it, so they neglected to take precautions and did not strengthen their precautions against Lianyungang.

And this, this is war, full of uncertainty!

As for Yang Jing, although he is a national hero now, in the final analysis, he is only a small regiment leader after all, and it is one thing to not be in his position and not seek politics.

On the other hand, his status is limited, and the information he has access to is also limited.

For example, the specific distribution and deployment of all the important main divisions and regiments of the Japanese army on the battlefields in North China and Central China.

It was all on the desk of the staff office of the Military Council, headed by the chairman.

Therefore, even if Yang Jing is a traverser, has a system body, and has various tactical mastery, he is only a mortal, not a god who can predict the future and everything.

There must be a mistake in Baimi, not to mention that it is not Yang Jing who coordinates the overall strategic situation.

And, with his crossing, history has undergone some subtle changes.

For example, this surprise attack of the 114th Division of the Japanese Army was actually a temporary battle plan!

Therefore, the surprise attack of the Japanese army in a roundabout landing from the sea this time surprised everyone, including the chairman of the committee, Li Delin, and Yang Jing.

When the landing ships were about to dock, the 114th Division, which was responsible for covering the landing of dozens of large and small warships on the sea in the distance, suddenly opened fire.

Hundreds of naval guns, large and small, opened fire one after another.

"Tom!"

"Tom tom! ——”

In an instant, a hundred cannons rang out, and one after another powerful cannonballs rose into the air.

A shrill and piercing sound of breaking wind pierced the dark night sky and slammed down in the direction of the docks

The tranquility of the night was also completely shattered at this moment, like a meteorite suddenly falling on the surface of a calm lake!

"Boom!"

"Boom, boom! ——”

As the shells of the ship's guns suddenly fell to the ground, the entire dock was instantly blown into a sea of fire.

Clusters of dazzling red light rose one after another, illuminating the entire sky as if it were day.

Some shells smashed directly on the roofs of the barracks on the dock, and the huge explosion directly leveled the barracks one after another.

All kinds of masonry tiles flew wildly with the shock wave generated by the explosion.

Many of the defenders were still asleep, so they died one after another, and they were buried under the bombardment of the devil's naval guns.

On the sea, the light and heavy machine guns mounted on the bow of the Devil Landing Force also opened fire at the first time.

A large number of dense and scorching bullets rained down.

Some of the soldiers who were patrolling and standing guard on the beach were caught off guard, and they were suddenly beaten into blood sieves, and they all fell into pools of blood with screams.

"Kill the chicken!"

"Kill the chicken and give it! ——”

"Warriors of the Empire, strike, strike! ——”

Then, under the command of a group of devil officers, the landing ships suddenly accelerated forward.

As soon as they approached the shore, thousands of devil soldiers jumped from the deck and cabin of the landing ship one after another.

Wading waist-deep in the water, they rushed to the pier.

Under the cover of the powerful firepower of the naval guns, the devil soldiers of the 114th Division successfully landed from Haizhou Bay with almost no effort, and slaughtered hundreds of defenders on the pier.

…………

After the landing, Lieutenant General Shigeharu Suematsu, commander of the 114th Division of the Japanese Army, immediately ordered the 128th Brigade and the 150th Infantry Wing under his command to launch a surprise attack on Lianyungang County.

The other three main field wings, the cavalry wing, and the field artillery wing, under the cover of night, bypassed Lianyungang, advanced west along the Longhai railway line, and went straight to Xuzhou!

About an hour and a half later, the 150th Infantry Wing, led by Nakasa of Yamamoto Shigeprovince, successfully captured Lianyungang, and after leaving part of the garrison to make sure that was in order, it continued to advance westward following the pace of the main force.

…………

Xuzhou, the Fifth Theater Governor's Department.

Due to the successive victories of the Huben Regiment and the 31st Division in Taierzhuang, General Li Delin and General Bai Jiansheng rarely had a good night's sleep.

But at this moment, a staff officer on duty suddenly woke up Li and Bai in a hurry.

"Total seat! Vice President! The big thing is not good, the enemy army attacked Lianyungang at night! At present, the harbor wharf and Lianyungang County have fallen into the hands of the enemy! ”

General Li Delin and General Bai Jiansheng were woken up from their sleep, and after receiving this shocking news, they instantly lost their sleep!

The two hurriedly got out of bed and headed for the headquarters.

After learning about the specific situation, General Li Delin couldn't help but change color: "Lianyungang is lost, Xuzhou is in danger of being attacked on the back of the enemy, how can this be good?"

General Bai Jiansheng, known as Xiao Zhuge , did not immediately express his position, but stared at the combat map in front of him, frowning and pondering with a solemn face, obviously thinking about countermeasures.

This earth-shattering change, if not handled carefully, will directly lead to the fiasco of the Battle of Xuzhou.

Plunged hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the Fifth War Zone into a huge crisis!

And then the entire North China and East China will fall under the iron heel of the Japanese army.

It will even lead to a sharp decline in the situation of the entire Anti-Japanese War in China, which will be out of control and fall into a dangerous situation from which it will never recover!

"Jiansheng, tell me what you think!"

Seeing that all the staff officers bowed their heads and were silent, General Li Delin pondered for a moment, and finally fixed his gaze on General Bai Jiansheng's face.

With a look of hope on his face, it seemed that he hoped to get a satisfactory advice from his mouth.

After a moment of silence, General Bai Jiansheng slowly raised his head and looked at General Li Delin and said, "Duke De, I now have two paths for you to choose from."
