At the beginning of the lanterns, the headquarters of the Fifth War Zone in Xuzhou.

Standing in front of a combat sand table, Chief Li was carefully studying the military situation in Taierzhuang.

Suddenly, Chief of Staff White walked in from outside the command room.

He saluted Commander Li, and Chief of Staff Bai shouted, "Commander Li, there is good news for the 52nd Army!"

Raising his eyebrows, Chief Li asked in a deep voice, "Oh, what's the situation now?" Did Guan Linzheng stop the little devils of the Sakamoto detachment? ”

With a smile on his face, Chief of Staff Bai shouted: "Yes, after the 52nd Army defeated the Sakamoto detachment at Erlong Mountain, it took advantage of the victory to pursue it, and now it has surrounded the little devils of the Sakamoto detachment in Xiangcheng!"

Stretching out his hand and patting his thigh, Chief Li's voice was full of excitement: "Great! In this way, the little devils of the Seya detachment can eat it with confidence!"

The White Chief of Staff replied: "Yes! The second group can eat the Seya detachment with confidence!"

His brows furrowed slightly, and Chief Li shouted in a deep voice: "However, the Sakamoto detachment in Xiangcheng is surrounded, and the Itagaki Division in the direction of Linyi will definitely send troops to rescue, so that the 52nd Army is likely to lose the fighter plane that completely ate the Sakamoto detachment!"

Nodding, the White Chief of Staff shouted, "Yes! Now time is victory, once the Itagaki Division sends troops to the rescue, then the 52nd Army will not be able to gather and annihilate the Sakamoto detachment! Chief Li, we should tell Commander Guan to launch an attack on Xiangcheng overnight!"

Chief Li exclaimed, "Well, Chief of Staff, you are right! We must not lose this plane!"

After a pause, Chief Li raised his voice and shouted, "Communication soldiers, communication soldiers!"

The signal soldier walked in from outside the door: "Sir!"

Commander Li shouted, "Send a report to Commander Tang immediately...... Don't send a report directly to Commander Guan, order the 52nd Army to take Xiangcheng before dawn and annihilate the Sakamoto detachment!"

According to normal procedures, Commander Li could not directly give orders to the 52nd Army of the Central Army, and the orders issued by the Fifth Theater should be transmitted to the 52nd Army through the commander of the 20th Army Corps.

However, it takes a lot of time to pass on and reach one by one.

Time is very important to the fighter, and Chief Li can't care about it so much.

So in order to seize the fighter, Chief Li decided to issue an order directly to the 52nd Army!

The signal soldier agreed, and immediately returned to the telecommunications room to give an order to the 52nd Army in the city!

Choking and Strange Novels|w~w~w.

At this time, Chief of Staff Bai suggested again: "Chief Li, Xiangcheng's Sakamoto detachment can't rescue the Seya detachment, presumably the little devils of the Seya detachment will also jump over the wall in a hurry!"

With a twinkle in his eyes, Chief Li shouted: "You mean to say that the little devils of the Seya detachment are likely to desperately break through"

Nodding slightly, the white chief of staff shouted: "The possibility is very high, so the siege and annihilation battle of Xiangcheng begins, and Taierzhuang's siege of the Segu detachment must also start to prepare!"

With his hands behind his back, Chief Li shouted in a deep voice: "Take precautions, take a two-pronged approach, well, Chief of Staff Bai is very forward-looking, and he deserves to be the number one military advisor of my Gui department!"

Smiling slightly, Chief of Staff Bai shouted, "Chief Li has won the award!" I'm just doing my job as a staff officer! ”

Reaching out and patting Chief of Staff Bai on the shoulder, Chief Li raised his voice again and shouted, "Communication soldier!"

The signal soldier shouted: "Yes! What an order, sir! ”

Commander Li raised his voice and shouted: "Send another report to Mr. Sun of the Second Group Army, ordering the 31st Army and the 101st Brigade and the 102nd Brigade to immediately tighten the encirclement of Segu in Taierzhuang and strictly prevent the Seya Detachment from breaking through!"

……

Almost at the same time, the command room of the regimental headquarters of the 5th Division in Linyi.

After receiving the news that the Sakamoto detachment was surrounded, the commander of the Itagaki Division was so angry that his face turned pale.

The Sakamoto detachment is a specially organized unit, and its combat capability is very strong, but I didn't expect that the Sakamoto detachment was actually beaten all over the ground by Guan Linzheng's 52nd Army.

The current situation is that the battle plan to rescue the Seya detachment has failed, and the Sakamoto detachment is also in danger of being surrounded and annihilated!

The chief of staff of the devil standing on the side shouted: "Your Excellency the division commander, the Sakamoto detachment is surrounded by the Shina army, we have to send reinforcements to rescue immediately!"

The commander of the Itagaki Division groaned and shouted: "The Sakamoto detachment must be rescued, but how to rescue it specifically, we have to study this issue carefully!"

The chief of staff of the devil shouted: "Your Excellency, division commander, what is there to study here!" The Art of War: The soldiers are fast. The Sakamoto detachment is in danger, and every minute our reinforcements are delayed, the probability of the destruction of the Sakamoto detachment increases by one point. ”

Glancing at the chief of staff, the commander of the Itagaki Division shouted: "Chief of staff, everything has to be considered from the overall situation, don't forget, there are still a large number of Zhina troops near Linyi peeping nearby!" If our reinforcements go out to rescue, it will inevitably cause the defense of Linyi to be empty, and if the nearby Zhina army suddenly occupies Linyi City, then our rear road is likely to be cut off by the Zhina army!"

At this time, although Linyi City was occupied by the Fifth Division, there were still two divisions of the Fifth War Zone swimming nearby, threatening the little devils in Linyi City at any time.

Therefore, the commander of the Itagaki Division must carefully calculate the deployment of troops, and must not be careless.

While cooperating with the Taierzhuang battlefield, the Fifth Division must pay attention to preserving itself.

With a heavy sigh, the chief of staff of the devil shouted: "But in this case, will we sit back and watch the Sakamoto detachment ignore it?" I can't agree with that!"

The commander of the Itagaki Division shouted: "Did I say that I would not rescue? So be it! Transfer an infantry brigade and a third regiment of the Imperial Allied Army, and immediately go to the rescue of Xiangcheng!"

With his mouth wide open, the chief of staff of the devil shouted: "Your Excellency, the commander of the division! Is one infantry brigade enough? The Chinese army that surrounded the Sakamoto detachment had a full army, nearly 10,000 people, and the Imperial Association Army had no combat effectiveness! ”

The Third Regiment of the Imperial Allied Army was the Lu Army incorporated by the commander of the Itagaki Division, and the role of these people was only the servant army of the Fifth Division.

When the strength of the Itagaki Division was insufficient, these Imperial Allied troops would be able to rise to the top.

The commander of the Itagaki Division did not regard the Imperial Allied Army as a truly usable force at all, and in the eyes of the commander of the Itagaki Division, the Imperial Allied Army was just synonymous with cannon fodder.

Shaking his head slightly, the commander of the Itagaki Division shouted: "The task of the infantry brigade is only to cooperate with the Sakamoto detachment to tear apart the encirclement, and there is no need to engage in a large-scale battle with the Chinese army, as for the third regiment of the Imperial Army, I don't expect the Imperial Army to fight, to be exact, their task is only to block bullets for the imperial soldiers!"

His eyes lit up suddenly, and the chief of staff of the devil shouted, "Yo Xi! In terms of strategy, His Excellency is still the commander of the division! In this way, it can not only ensure the safety of Linyi, but also snatch the Sakamoto detachment out to the greatest extent! Okay, I'll send my troops right away!"

With a slight wave of his hand, the commander of the Itagaki Division continued to shout: "But let's talk about it, the rescue operation can't rely on just one infantry brigade, chief of staff, you have to notify the Imperial Air Force Base Command in Beiping, and request the Fourth Air Brigade to send fighters to provide fire support to Xiangcheng!"

The chief of staff of the devil shouted, "Yes!"

The chief of staff of the devil was just about to walk out of the command room, but the commander of the Itagaki Division stopped him again: "Wait! He also sent a telegram back to Major General Sakamoto, telling all the imperial officers and soldiers of Sakamoto's detachment to carry forward the spirit of bushido and do their best until six o'clock the next morning, no matter how fierce the battle is!"

Facing the commander of the Itagaki Division, he puffed up his chest, and the chief of staff of the devil shouted: "Yes! Your Excellency the division commander, please rest assured, your subordinates will arrange it!"
