Li Ping stood up in shock, the devils actually landed so many planes in Xuzhou, what did they want to do?

Li Ping walked quickly to the map, looked at the direction of Xuzhou, and thought about it, now the devil has two battlefields, the North China battlefield and the Wuhan battlefield.

The planes are arranged here, at the center of the two battlefields, and the planes can be dispatched to bomb at any time.

Li Ping faintly grasped the key point, Xuzhou is close to Shandong, if Sugiyama Yuan transfers troops, in order to stabilize the situation, then it will be more certain that the air force will join.

On the other hand, these devil planes can support the North China operation, and of course, the more important point is that they can also support the Wuhan battlefield.

Xuzhou can take into account three battlefields at the same time, so it is interesting for the devil to choose here.

"Political commissar, immediately telegraph to the headquarters and report this situation, the boss and their intelligence force is much stronger, and they should be able to judge the purpose of the devil."

Li Ping's cautious political commissar tightened his heart, and when the boss of the headquarters received the telegram, he immediately asked the intelligence department to gather the information.

After reading all the information, the political commissar opened his mouth and said: "Boss, Li Ping's judgment is right, the devil wants to kill three birds with one stone." ”

The boss nodded, originally North China Tatian Jun was able to command a lot of planes to participate in the operation, but now there are so many planes in Xuzhou, and the battle will be even more difficult in the future.

"Send a telegram to Chongqing, give them our judgment, and the troops on the front line in Wuhan are also within the bombardment range of the devils."

"At the same time, inform the front-line departments of the Eighth Route Army of this situation, and be careful of the devil's plane in the future."

The telegram of the Eighth Route Army soon came to the chairman of the committee, and he immediately paid attention to it, and the air defense of the Chinese troops was a big problem, and if he was not careful, it would lead to a rout.

"Inform Chief Li of the situation and let him be on guard."

After speaking, the chairman turned his head to look at Dai Li, and asked, "Have any reinforcements been dispatched from Shandong at present?" ”

Dai Li shook his head slightly, and said: "Commission, we can only get a small amount of information, Sugiyama Yuan is currently fighting with Li Ping, and there is no sign of sending reinforcements, but they have prepared a lot of materials in Zaozhuang, according to our analysis, this is prepared for the south, and it should be mobilized in the next two days." ”

When the chairman of the committee heard this, he immediately became murderous, and said: "Ordering Li Ping not to let the devils from Shandong come to Hubei is at all costs. ”

It was already midnight when Li Ping received the telegram forwarded by the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, and after reading the telegram, Li Ping's mind was full of the battle situation on the front line, and the devil had transferred so many planes that Chief Li on the Wuhan battlefield was not easy to fight.

If the troops want to continue the attack, it means that the soldiers have to rush out of the trench positions, and without the cover of the positions, the bombardment of the devils may bring them heavy casualties.

Li Ping had no choice for the time being, he gave up the desire to continue thinking about it, and now he was no better than Chief Li, and when Sugiyama Yuan found him in the quagmire tomorrow, it would be the beginning of the saddest days of the 77th Division.

The Eighth Route Army finally rested in the middle of the night, and Yamamoto, who took over the defense line, was relieved.

"Division commander, our casualties are not small, and the attack of the Eighth Route Army has made our defense line porous everywhere."

Yamamoto sighed when he heard this, what can he do, he can only stare dryly, according to the order of General Sugiyama Yuan, the troops are just blocking Li Ping's troops, preventing them from making waves in Shandong, and maintaining stability in Shandong.

"You go to give orders to the troops, and each defense area must have a reserve force, ready to support the defense line."

Yamamoto figured it out, since there are loopholes everywhere, then he will prepare more flexible troops, and if there is danger there, these troops will fill in there, anyway, as long as they are in a stalemate with the Eighth Route Army.

The two sides were faintly facing each other, and on the other side, Chen Zhong commanded the troops to directly enter the Zaozhuang Devil's Defense Zone, and Sugiyama Yuan was directly pulled out of the room by the adjutant.

"Your Excellency General, the Eighth Route Army has appeared in Zaozhuang, and the troops currently stationed there are requesting support."

Sugiyama Yuan's originally confused expression suddenly became panicked, Zaozhuang actually had an accident, and after coming to the headquarters quickly, the chief of staff of the devil handed him the telegram with a panicked face.

After reading it, Sugiyama Yuan was nervous, don't have an accident there!

Sugiyama Yuan now hates the troops in Xuzhou, who told them to transfer the troops of Zaozhuang, now he is in danger.

"Baga, order the surrounding troops to support me immediately."

Sugiyama Yuan was in a hurry, and thinking of the consequences of Zaozhuang falling into the hands of the Eighth Route Army, he suddenly became extremely frightened.

Sugiyama Yuan's urgency could not change the reality of the emptiness of Zaozhuang's troops, and when he received a farewell telegram from Zaozhuang's troops, he suddenly softened.

"Your Excellency, what should we do?" , the chief of staff of the devil also panicked, there are supplies for two divisions and regiments, if there are no these materials, what is the use of sending reinforcements to Hubei, to use them as targets for the Chinese troops?

Sugiyama Yuan stabilized his mind a little, and said: "Send a telegram to the Air Force, and after dawn, you will bomb Zaozhuang for me, and at the same time find those Eighth Route Army for me." ”

Sugiyama Gen would rather destroy the supplies than let him fall into the hands of the Eighth Road, after finishing speaking, Sugiyama Moto looked at the map and continued: "Order the 102 and 103 divisions to retreat immediately and rush to Jining. ”

"At the same time, we must mobilize supplies for me, and we must be equipped with enough supplies for two divisions."

Sugiyama Yuan's roar made the atmosphere of the headquarters depressed, and he quickly took action, looking at the time, Sugiyama Moto's thoughts about the sky to light up quickly.

Sugiyama Yuan was in a hurry, and Li Ping received signs of retreat from the two divisions on the front line, and immediately understood that it was Chen Zhong's troops who triggered Sugiyama Yuan's adjustment.

"Order all the troops on the front line, immediately sortie."

Li Ping wanted to give Chen Zhong a little more time, the attack of the Eighth Route Army almost made Yamamoto fall, are you still in our encirclement?

"Division commander, the retreat of the 102nd and 103rd divisions is not going well, the Eighth Route Army is crazy to attack our defensive line, if they continue to retreat, I am afraid that the Eighth Route Army will break through the encirclement."

Yamamoto had a headache when he heard this, and shouted loudly: "Let the troops beat the Eighth Route Army back, and we must ensure that the two divisions retreat." ”

"At the same time, we will unite the 101st Division and attack at the same time to press the Eighth Route Army back to my position."

Yamamoto is ruthless, since he wants to fight, let's see who can hold on to the end, on the other side, Li Ping also had a headache when he looked at the telegram, the devil is exchanging his life for time.

"Order the front-line troops, retreat to their positions, and ensure the safety of their positions." , Li Ping was helpless, Yamamoto could be crazy, but he couldn't be crazy, he had to focus on the overall situation.

"Commissar, send a telegram to the Chief of Staff and ask him to go out immediately."

If you can't open the situation here, let the chief of staff open it, and there are still a lot of cards in your hand.

Seeing the Eighth Route Army retreating to its position, Yamamoto finally breathed a sigh of relief after watching the two divisions retreat, looking at the brightened sky, he didn't know how long he would have to stalemate with the Eighth Route Army.

The telegram that the two divisions retreated smoothly made Sugiyama Yuan breathe a sigh of relief, and before he could speak, the signal corps ran in in a panic: "Commander, the Linqing garrison has telegraphed that there is a force of the Eighth Route Army attacking everywhere, and the target may be Jinan." ”

"What?"
