After finding out the origin of the Chinese troops, a telegram was sent to the Japanese headquarters, reprimanding the North China Front for its inaction and allowing the Chinese army to transfer so many troops to Wuhan.

Tada Jun also knew about the telegram from Gangmura Ningji, he almost vomited blood, uncle, Lao Tzu is fighting for his life now, and you are still chirping crookedly.

But he didn't dare to say anything, concentrating on dealing with the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi and Hebei.

To say that the saddest days are still Sugiyama Moto, the newly formed troops of the Japanese army headquarters have not yet arrived, and the Eighth Route Army has a faint tendency to launch an offensive after taking a breath.

His intelligence was also clear, and now this unit was under the command of Li Ping, thinking of Li Ping, Sugiyama Mototo suddenly felt a little frightened, this Chinese general made him and Tada Jun disgraced.

Time passed in the blink of an eye, Chief of Staff Ye had already come to Shandong from Yan'an, and Li Ping greeted everyone and let everyone enter the headquarters.

Chief of Staff Ye looked at Li Ping and had a thought in his mind, young, although they knew everything about Li Ping, they were still shocked at first sight.

"Chief of Staff, I didn't expect the Chairman to send you to partner with me, and I will need more advice in the future."

Chief of Staff Ye rolled his eyes when he heard this, and said, "You are the commander of the unit, and you are almost the same as instructing me." ”

Everyone immediately laughed, on one side was the famous god of war general, and on the other hand, the respected chief of staff, the two of them looked like they had a temper.

When he came to the headquarters, Li Ping poured a glass of water for the chief of staff and said: "After the order of Yan'an came, I had already begun to reorganize, and the independent brigade was taken over by Chen Zhong, and the chief of staff was Guo Shijun, that is, my old partner, and he also served as the deputy chief of staff of our unit. ”

"At the same time, in accordance with Yan'an's order, the troops will continue to use the number of the 77th Division, so as not to make trouble for Chongqing in China."

After Li Ping finished speaking, the political commissar began to introduce them one by one, and the chief of staff listened carefully and nodded heavily, he had a general understanding.

The next day, the rested chief of staff began to inspect the troops, and if he wanted to command the troops to fight, he had to understand the strength of the troops.

Li Ping is not worthy, his main eyes now are on Sugiyama Yuan, everyone is a deep hatred, and one party must fall.

The political commissar came to the headquarters, sat down and said: "The affairs in the base area have been sorted out a little, and Division Commander Chen has also sent a telegram that they have arrived in Yan'an and are currently reorganizing the troops. ”

Li Ping nodded when he heard this, turned back to the political commissar and said: "The affairs of the base area cannot be relaxed, and we must do the same as when we were in Shanxi, the garrison troops and militia must be quickly formed to form combat effectiveness." ”

The political commissar nodded and said: "At present, our base areas are not connected, so a lot of work cannot be carried out, and we can only rely on each unit to carry it out separately. ”

Li Ping nodded slightly, looked at the map and said, "When the chief of staff comes back from inspecting the troops, we should discuss the matter of the troops' attack." ”

Li Ping was still planning to launch a counterattack, and Sugiyama Motoya also looked at the place occupied by the Eighth Route Army and had a headache, the longer it dragged on, the more unfavorable it would be to the battle, Sugiyama Gen knew this.

"Baga, when will the troops be in place, and if it drags on, I have no choice."

Sugiyama Moto's outrage quieted the command, and the chief of staff stepped forward and said, "Your Excellency, General, since the three divisions are newly formed troops, they need time. ”

"In addition, the headquarters directly equipped us with four divisions and regiments for a month's worth of combat materials, which are currently being transported by the navy and ready to be stored in the Weifang area."

"In order to cooperate with the operation, these materials must be transported to Jinan to facilitate the operation of our troops."

Sugiyama Yuan suddenly became serious when he heard this, Weifang and the Eighth Route Army base area are one north and one south, the distance is too far, and the materials must be transported back to Jinan is the most suitable.

"When will the supplies arrive?"

"Your Excellency General, the navy is still on the march, and it is expected to arrive at Weifang Port in two days."

Sugiyama Yuan nodded when he heard this, and said: "Order the garrison troops to strictly guard the defensive line, and at the same time order the intelligence department to cover up the news so that it cannot be discovered by the Eighth Route Army." ”

"Telegraph to the Navy that the troops of the three divisions cannot log in Weifang, let them land in Qingdao."

"Hi"

Sugiyama wanted to separate the troops from the supplies and divert Li Ping's ideas, he didn't want the troops to be destroyed before the war materials began.

On the other hand, Li Ping was at a loss to inquire about the movements of the devils, who called the Chinese navy so weak that the warships of the devils could sail with swagger.

Li Ping didn't know the devil's movements, what he could do now was to stabilize the base and wait for the chief of staff to finish his inspection, and the chief of staff who returned to the headquarters had an intuitive feeling.

"I said division commander, we have good things, artillery, but I have seen it, the troops have captured 54 cannons of the 24th division so far, although the shells are not enough, but I like it when I look at it."

Li Ping smiled slightly when he heard this, he also wanted to have two or three hundred cannons like the independent division, but they were captured in World War I.

"Chief of Staff, there will be more in the future, now let's discuss the matter of the troops counterattacking."

The chief of staff and the political commissar suddenly became serious, and Li Ping pointed to the map and said: "At present, we are only standing firm, and the last truce was because we could not continue the attack. ”

"But now that it has been restored for a period of time, the troops have the strength to continue to develop the base areas, and we must be dispatched."

The political commissar nodded when he heard this, and said, "Sugiyama Yuan's reinforcements are not visible for the time being, and we must seize this opportunity." ”

Chief of Staff Ye nodded lightly, and then said: "Last time, we did too much damage to the devil, and as soon as the devil's reinforcements arrived, it was the moment when Sugiyama Yuan made a move, so I agreed to strike first, no matter how we fight in the future, we can take advantage if we fall first." ”

Li Ping nodded, pointed to the map and said: "Sugiyama Yuan's next encirclement and suppression, it must be the arrival of heavy troops, so we must make our base areas together, so that we can support each other and avoid being divided and eliminated by the devils." ”

"So, I mean the troops, we deploy in the center, and there is a directional attack."

"The troops must attack the line of Linqing-Liaocheng-Gunzhou-Jining-Zaozhuang and make contact with the devil's defense line."

The chief of staff and the political commissar looked at the map and gasped, according to Li Ping's arrangement, this area near Henan would be taken by the Eighth Route Army.

"Division commander, are you preparing to deter Jinan?"

Chief of Staff Ye understood after thinking about it, Li Ping nodded slightly, and said: "We don't have a navy, and we can't get through areas such as Weifang, Yantai, Qingdao and Rizhao, even if we fight down, we can't hold it, so our choice must be directional." ”

Seeing Li Ping's gloomy face, the two political commissars smiled bitterly at the same time, who called China what it is now.

The three of them were silent for a moment, and a staff officer ran in, and the three of them looked up at him.

"Division commander, Yan'an telegram, there is important information."
