Chapter 563: Return to the Second War Zone (1)
Li Hong raised his hand again and returned a military salute to the generals.
"The humble Li Hong does not disgrace his mission and reports to Commander Li!"
Li Zongyao left the conference table, strode in front of Li Hong, and patted Li Hong on the shoulder.
"The afterlife is terrifying, it can really be described as the return of a hero!"
Li Zongyao looked at Li Hong with appreciative eyes, and let out words of emotion and praise in a loud voice.
The rest of the generals said in unison: "Commander Li was able to break through and return, which is really a blessing for the 5th War Zone and a blessing for the national army!" ”
Li Hong raised his voice and said impassionedly: "Commanders, for the sake of the country and the nation, for the sake of thousands of people, covering the evacuation of the large army, all this is the duty of the security regiment, and the blood and sacrifice of the soldiers of the whole regiment are also worth it!" ”
"Li Hong, quick, sit down!"
Soon, Li Zongyao invited Li Hong to sit down and participate in the meeting together.
Li Hong sat down and took a sip of tea, while listening to the speeches and reports of the generals.
The first to stand up was Bai Wenqing, who said to everyone with a stern face: "Ladies and gentlemen, although our large forces have been successfully transferred from the Xuzhou area, the Japanese troops have not given up the pursuit of the main force of our 5th Theater. ”
"Last night, the North China Command of the Japanese Army urgently transferred the 4th Division, the 16th Division, and 4 cavalry wings to launch a frantic encirclement and interception of our army......"
At present, the troops of the 5th theater of operations have not completely jumped out of the enemy's encirclement, and the situation is still very critical.
The devil troops, who were responsible for chasing and intercepting, received an order to die at the Japanese base camp, and the enemy caught up with the main force of the 5th theater at all costs, and the two sides could start a fierce battle at any time.
There are hundreds of thousands of troops in the 5th theater of operations, and there are quite a few elite troops.
However, after many days of continuous marching, the soldiers of the 5th Theater were already sleepy and tired, and there were many wounded and sick, so the combat effectiveness of the troops of the 5th Theater was sharply reduced.
Bai Wenqing only realized the situation in the war zone that his face was so ugly.
At this moment, suddenly, there was the sound of gunfire in the distance.
After a while, the gunfire outside the headquarters became louder and louder.
"Da Da Da ......"
"Boom, boom, boom......"
Obviously, the vanguard of the front must have exchanged fire with the troops intercepted by the devil soldiers.
Soon, the communications soldiers of the Ministry of Communications hurried to the conference table and loudly reported the situation on the front line to Li Zongyao.
"Report to Commander Li, the newly formed 51st Division, the vanguard of our army, suddenly encountered the 4th Division of the Japanese Army, and the division commander Zhou Guobang led the whole division to launch a breakthrough attack on the intercepted Japanese troops!"
After hearing this shocking news, all the generals in the headquarters could no longer maintain their composure, and their faces instantly became extremely grim.
The senior generals of the national army present here are all experienced in a hundred battles and have seen the world, but they all know the combat effectiveness of the troops in the 5th theater.
It is no exaggeration to say that at this moment, it is the moment of life and death for hundreds of thousands of troops in the 5th Theater.
The troops of the 5th Theater are now exhausted divisions and are unable to engage in major battles, and their overall combat effectiveness may not be able to withstand the impact of one or two divisions of the Japanese army.
Moreover, the 5th Theater of Operations has lost air supremacy, and if it really fights with the elite devil troops, the national army troops will definitely be rushed by the enemy.
In this special case, no one can be calm.
Except for Li Hong in the headquarters, there was no trace of panic in his expression, and the whole person looked calm as water, quite a general's demeanor.
The generals of the headquarters consulted with each other, and together they discussed how to deal with the Japanese interception forces.

The generals of the headquarters consulted with each other, and together they discussed how to deal with the Japanese interception forces.
The 4th Division of the Japanese Army is the elite of the elite, and all the generals know the power of this devil unit.
Once the Osaka Division started a battle, its combat effectiveness was very strong, and the enemy was good at scheming, and the devil officers and soldiers were very cunning and difficult.
Everyone discussed for a while, but there was no good plan for breaking through the siege.
In fact, the generals of the various group armies had tens of thousands of troops under their hands, but they were very helpless, and the officers and soldiers had no combat effectiveness at all, and they were sent to death to fight the Japanese army.
Of course, even if the troops of the Nationalist Army avoided its edge and did not fight the Japanese army, the enemy would stand in the front, and the 5th Theater would be in a dilemma, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers would not be able to break through at all.
In a few hours, the surrounding Japanese troops will all be surrounded and pursued, and at worst, the 5th Theater may be completely wiped out......
At the moment when the theater was in danger, Li Hong knew that he could not wait any longer, and wasting time would only put the officers and men in the theater in danger even more.
Li Hong Huoran stood up and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, I, Li Hong, voluntarily ask for battle, and I am willing to lead the soldiers of the security regiment as the vanguard to open a bloody road for the war zone!" ”
It is naturally good to have the wild wolf of the security regiment to take the lead, after all, the security regiment has been fighting fiercely with the Japanese army for many days, and the troops have suffered huge casualties.
The battle of Xuzhou almost exhausted the security regiment, and then let Li Hong lead the troops to fight, and all the generals couldn't bear it.
Immediately, Sun Liancheng also stood up, and said to everyone with shame in his heart: "Ladies and gentlemen, Commander Li's security regiment has paid enough casualties in order to cover the transfer of our large troops......
"That's right, we can't let the security regiment continue to fight!"
