Xuzhou Fifth War Zone Governor's Department.

With a solemn face, Chief of Staff Bai walked into the command room with a copy of the translation.

Chief Li asked, "Brother Bai, what's going on!"

Handing a translation to Chief Li, Chief of Staff Bai shouted: "The intelligence officer in Shanghai has sent a telegram saying that a batch of poison gas bombs has been delivered to Guanjia Town!"

After carefully reading the telegram, Chief Li gasped: "The little devil is playing poison gas again, I remember the first battle in Shanghai, several brigades of our Gui Army were killed and injured by the devil's poison gas bombs, this kind of tragedy cannot be repeated in the 51st Army!"

Nodding, Chief of Staff Bai shouted, "Brother Li, next we have to find a way to destroy the devil's poisonous gas!"

After thinking for a while, Chief Li shouted: "I don't have any manpower in my hands now, so it's better to call the Wuhan Command and ask them to arrange for agents to destroy this batch of poison gas bombs!"

The White Chief of Staff shouted: "Yes, I'll arrange it now!"

Chief Li shouted, "Wait, how is Zhang Zizhong's troops!"

Chief of Staff Bai shouted: "After Commander Zhang led the troops to recover Linyi, he is now resting in Majiazhuang!"

Commander Li shouted: "Let the 59th Army rest for two more days, the 51st Army is fighting very hard, and whether the next Huainan battle can be turned around depends on General Zhang Zizhong!"

Chief of Staff Bai shouted: "Brother Li, don't worry, General Zhang is full of fighting spirit, and he wants to wash away the infamy of traitors, and the 59th Army joins the Huaihe battle, and the situation is bound to be reversed!"

Looking at the offensive and defensive map of the Fifth Theater, Chief Li shouted: "I believe in General Zhang, but the 51st Army of the Huaihe defense line also has to bite the devil's 13th Division, so that the 59th Army's initiative to attack is meaningful!"

Nodding, Chief of Staff Bai shouted: "Don't worry, Commander Yu has packed a ticket for the commander's department, and he said that even if he fights one soldier left, he will never let the little devil step through the Huai River defense line for half a step!"

Smiling slightly, Chief Li shouted: "Well, I appreciate this attitude of being a military commander, it is enough to lift his spirit, but the little devil is not a vegetarian, the next battle of the Huai River will be even more tragic, and Yu Xuezhong must be told to fight to the end, in addition, Liu Shiyi's 31st Army must frequently attack the flank and rear of the devil, let the devil know that China is full of battlefields, and their occupied areas are not safe!"

The White Chief of Staff shouted, "Yes!"

After a pause, Chief Li continued: "Once the operation to destroy the poison gas bomb fails, Yu Xuezhong must be told to defend against poison gas, their gas mask distribution is insufficient, but it can be used in the local method that is often used in Shanghai!"

Chief of Staff Bai shouted: "Okay, I'll arrange it right away!"

……

The command room of the military headquarters of the 51st Army.

A communications soldier ran in.

He saluted the commander of the army, and the signal soldier shouted: "The commander of the fifth theater is calling!"

Commander Yu replied in a deep voice: "Read!"

The signal soldier read: "Chief Li, the devil's poison gas bombs found in the Guanjia Town area are likely to be dropped on the Huaihe defense line, and the 51st Army is expected to strengthen the poison gas defense in case of accidents!"

Hearing this, Commander Yu gasped: "The little devil is really vicious, the infantry is already stronger than my 51st Army, and now they are still using poison gas bombs, this battle is really unbeatable!"

The chief of staff shouted: "Military seat, don't worry too much, I heard that Zhang Zizhong's Northwest Army is resting in Majiazhuang, and it will go south in the near future to help our Huaihe defense line!"

With a hint of joy on his face, Commander Yu shouted: "That's really good, this simply solves the urgent need of my 51st Army!"

After a little hesitation, the chief of staff shouted: "But we must not take it lightly, we still have to use snacks for the matter of poison gas bombs!"

Hesitating slightly, Commander Yu shouted in a sullen voice: "Chief of Staff, you also know that the entire 51st Army does not have a few sets of gas masks, how can this be good!"

With a smile on his face, the chief of staff shouted: "Military seat, there is no gas mask, we can make it ourselves!"

Commander Yu shouted: "We don't have an arsenal, how can we make it?"

The chief of staff shouted: "I don't know anything about the military seat, Commander Zhang of the 720 Regiment has just sent a telegram, and he has asked all units to strengthen anti-drug training in local methods!"

Commander Yu shouted: "Soil method? What is the local method? ”

The chief of staff shouted: "Commander Zhang has promoted the method of urine and towel anti-poison in the entire 720 regiment!" Just now, Chief of Staff White also advocated this anti-poison strategy very much?"

Commander Yu shouted: "This Regiment Commander Zhang has an enlightened mind, how did he become so good at leading troops, I remember that he was the regiment commander who bought it!"

In fact, where is the head of Zhang enlightened, in fact, it is from the 21st century Liang Shanhao's possession.

With Liang Shanhao's IQ behind the scenes, can the incompetent head Zhang not open his mind?

Shaking his head slightly, the chief of staff shouted: "Commander Zhang has a lot of enlightening things, the last few defensive battles have been fought well, much better than the other main regiments, I heard that the wing commander of the 24th Wing was beaten to the point of depression, and committed suicide before dawn!"

With a satisfied smile on his face, Commander Yu shouted: "It seems that my 51st Army has discovered another general, don't say much, immediately notify all infantry regiments to strengthen anti-poison preparations!"

Suddenly, the chief of staff shouted, "Yes!"

……

Across the Huai River, on the other side of Bengbu is a small Bengbu.

By this time, the 11th Wing had taken over the offensive task of the 24th Wing.

Raising his binoculars to observe the other side of the river, the wing commander shouted, "Which unit of the China Army is on the other side?"

Also holding a telescope to observe, the chief of staff replied: "Report to Your Excellency, Wing Commander, it's the 720th Regiment of the 51st Army!"

With an eyebrow raised, the wing captain shouted, "51st Army? Zhang Xueliang's Northeast Army?"

Nodding his head slightly, the chief of staff responded: "Yes, now Zhang Xueliang's old general Xuezhong is in command!"

With a disdainful smile on his face, the wing commander shouted: "The Northeast Army, haha, is the unit that was driven back to the Guannai by my 10,000 Kwantung Army!"

The chief of staff shouted: "Your Excellency, Wing Commander, don't take it lightly, this 720 regiment on the other side can cripple the 24th Wing, it's definitely not a good thing!"

With a cold snort, the wing commander shouted: "The Northeast Army is all the same, when you see the iron chariot of our empire, you still don't run away, has the chariot squadron arrived?"

The chief of staff shouted: "Hai! The tank squadron had already arrived in Xiaobengbu an hour ago and was now refueling and resting! ”

Looking towards the upper reaches of the Huai River, the wing commander shouted in a deep voice: "Chief of Staff, the hydrological conditions of the river section at fourteen o'clock are good, and the engineers are ordered to build a pontoon bridge in that area overnight!"

With a little puzzlement on his face, the chief of staff shouted: "Your Excellency, Wing Commander, don't we use the ferry to directly transport the tanks as originally planned?"

Smiling slightly, the wing captain shouted: "No, the original plan has changed, and the stupid guy is attacking from the front with a tank, do you see?" An anti-tank trench was dug in front of the Bengbu position, which was very unfavorable for tank maneuvering, and I think the flanks of the Chinese army must have been unprepared. ”

Immediately understanding the wing commander's intentions, the chief of staff shouted: "Soga! Your Excellency's plan is wonderful! As the pride of Lu Da, there is an old saying in the Chinese military book that just summarizes your idea. ”

Slightly stunned, the wing captain asked in a deep voice, "Oh, what old saying?"

The chief of staff shouted: "If you take it by surprise and attack it unprepared, when the time comes, the Chinese army will find that an iron chariot unit has suddenly appeared behind it, and the will to fight of the 720 regiment will definitely collapse!"

Haha laughed, and the co-captain's voice was a little proud: "That's what I want!"
