Li Hong is just a colonel, and he can be personally greeted by the generals of the 2nd Group Army, all of which depends on his own strength and Li Hong's behavior.

"Hello Chief Sun, hello Chiefs!" Li Hong saluted the generals in front of him.

"Advisor Li, Advisor Lee!!"

The officers and generals of the 2nd Group Army returned a salute one after another, and they welcomed Li Hong's arrival very much.

"Advisor Li, please come in!"

Sun Liancheng took the initiative to make a gesture of invitation to Li Hong.

Soon, everyone entered the headquarters.

Judging from the attitude of these officers towards Li Hong just now, it was obviously full of admiration and a trace of gratitude.

"Advisor Li, you can sit casually, no formality."

Sun Liancheng politely invited Li Hong to sit at the conference table and said something gratefully.

"Advisor Li, thank you for the timely reinforcement of Taierzhuang by your security regiment, otherwise, the new 17th Brigade may be wiped out, and Taierzhuang will also fall into the hands of the Japanese army."

The officers and men of the 17th Brigade can still survive, indeed thanks to the security regiment, even if the security regiment is ten minutes late, the number of the 17th Brigade of the 2nd Group Army will be lost.

"Sir Sun, you don't have to be polite, galloping to help Taierzhuang is within the scope of our security regiment, now that the devil soldiers are pressing the border, I, Li Hong, naturally focus on the overall situation of Taierzhuang, and reinforcements are urgent!" Li Hong said awe-inspiringly.

"Okay, what Advisor Li said, it's a great blessing that we can fight side by side with a fierce general like Advisor Li!"

Sun Liancheng and a group of officers and generals said with admiration.

Li Hong probably guessed that Sun Liancheng's purpose for coming to him should be to invite him to discuss how to defend Taierzhuang.

The enemy is at the head, Li Hong has no extra nonsense, he said directly to Sun Liancheng: "Chief Sun, there are three elite divisions of the Japanese army outside Taierzhuang, if you have any tasks, just hand them over to our security regiment, and we will resist the Japanese invaders together!" ”

Li Hong's words were very cheerful and humble, and he did this only to cooperate with Sun Liancheng's troops to fight this battle.

"Okay, what Advisor Li said is right, we share the same hatred and hatred for the Japanese army!"

The generals of the 2nd Army all showed a resolute determination to resist Japan.

The battle of Taierzhuang is very important, at least it is related to the battle situation in the 5th War Zone, and at the big point it is said that the war situation in the whole country will be affected.

If the Battle of Taierzhuang is won, it will certainly boost the morale of the army and the people of the whole country, and if they are defeated, Li Hong and them will be the sinners of the nation.

Li Hong, Sun Liancheng and other generals knew that the Japanese army would make a comeback, and they immediately held a military meeting between them to defend Taierzhuang.

In this meeting, Li Hong and the 2nd Army divided their respective defense areas.

Li Hong knew the Japanese army's offensive intentions and offered to defend the defense area outside the southern city, but Sun Liancheng did not agree, but let the 13th Division under his command defend.

The outer defense area in the south of Taierzhuang, which is the main direction of the Japanese army's attack, it is no exaggeration to say that the south of the city will become a meat grinding plate next.

Sun Liancheng insisted on refusing to let the security team take the lead, of course, he was not afraid that the security team would take any credit.

The position outside the south of the city, everyone can expect that this is a war of attrition, Sun Liancheng did this, just to preserve the strength of the security regiment, and good steel is used on the blade.

Li Hong thought about it for a while and decided to hand over the position outside the south of the city to the 13th Division, and the officers and men of the security regiment were responsible for guarding the east of the city.

Everyone agreed and the meeting ended quickly.

Li Hong and the other generals hurried back to redeploy their forces and establish defensive positions inside and outside Taierzhuang.

There were originally field fortifications dug by the 17th Brigade inside and outside Taierzhuang, and the soldiers of the security regiment only needed to strengthen the position fortifications, which could reduce a lot of time.

In accordance with Li Hong's order, the security regiment dug a lot of trench fortifications, as well as anti-aircraft fortifications and anti-aircraft fire positions.

The entire Taierzhuang campaign can be divided into two stages, the first stage is to hold Taierzhuang and attract more enemies to "lead the enemy into the urn", and the second stage is to encircle the Japanese army from the outside and annihilate the enemy's living forces.

Of course, this is only the battle plan of the 5th theater of operations.

The enemy's operational thinking is the most unpredictable, and once the situation on the battlefield changes, the devil commander may change his offensive tactics at any time.

Whether the Japanese army will eventually get into the trap is still unknown!

……

The Japanese 4th Division fought passively and sent a reinforcement squadron, but no one was killed, only a few soldiers were wounded.

These wounded soldiers were not injured in the battle, but because they were marching at night and accidentally fell and injured.

These wounded soldiers, who were exaggerated and written into the casualty report, wounded a few people, turned into dozens of casualties.

In order to deal with the North China Command, Yuzaburo Matsui hurriedly submitted a casualty report.

The report is very detailed, the 4th Division 70th Wing fought with the Security Regiment, and the number of casualties was 313.

In addition to reporting casualties, Yuzaburo Matsui also had people brag about how brave the troops fought on telegrams.

The 39th Wing was annihilated and Taierzhuang was lost, which annoyed the generals of the Japanese command.

Previously, the 10th Division had already reported the negative operations of the 4th Division to the command, and the generals of the Japanese command knew very well that the casualty report of the 4th Division was completely fabricated.

The generals of the Japanese command were angry, but they were helpless to take the 4th Division.

In the end, the North China Command of the Japanese Army had no choice but to criticize the 4th Division in a telegram with a few words that were unfavorable to the operation, and there was no other accountability and punishment.

Ryosuke Isoya sent a telegram to the headquarters to complain about the 4th Division, but as a result, the headquarters only turned one eye open and closed one eye.

Twenty kilometers away from Taierzhuang, the joint headquarters of the 5th Division and the 10th Division.

"Yagaya Road, the 4th Division is simply a waste division, such a unit is really a shame for Japan, I want to go to the emperor to sue Yuzaburo Matsui, a merchant !! waste"

Ryosuke Isoya, an old devil, was holding back the fire in his belly, and his lungs were about to explode, and he kept scolding the 4th Division in the headquarters.

The devil generals of the 10th Division did not dare to come forward to persuade the angry Ryosuke Isoya.

The scolding continued for a while, and Seishiro Itagaki walked up to Ryosuke Isoya and persuaded: "Isoya-kun, rest your anger, that guy Yuzaburo Matsui has always fought passively, and the whole division and regiment have a virtue, which is simply a plate of loose sand. ”

"The headquarters asked the 4th Division to respond to our attack on Taierzhuang, this is really a wrong battle plan, this 4th Division is unreliable, and only by relying on you and my 5th and 10th Divisions to join forces can we conquer Taierzhuang."

Ryosuke Isoya slowly calmed down, the 39th Wing is gone, Taierzhuang has also been lost, the matter has come to this point, and it is imperative to regroup and fight Taierzhuang again.

The 5th and 10th divisions of the Japanese army held a military meeting and drew up an operational plan for the attack on Taierzhuang......
