Li Ping had a flash of inspiration, and felt that Sugiyama Yuan was preparing to go south, since he was preparing supplies in Zaozhuang, the front-line troops would go to Zaozhuang after retreating, and after replenishing the supplies, they could pass through Xuzhou, and then go to Anhui.

The more Li Ping thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible, and thinking about Sugiyama Yuan's sudden change in the front-line devil troops, Li Ping felt that he had grasped the key point.

Why is it so urgent to compress his own troops, this is a matter of changing the center of gravity, assuming that Sugiyama Yuan wants to transfer troops to support Wuhan, and has arranged a strategy to encircle and suppress himself, and it happens that the troops have already been dispatched, at this time his best choice is to pull himself into a positional battle, and then transfer troops, so that the situation in Shandong will not get out of his control.

Thinking of this, all the ideas in Li Ping's mind suddenly became reasonable, since he was not very sure now, he needed to test it.

Isn't Sugiyama Gen ready to leave? Then he will be tough, making him feel that he can't compress the Eighth Route Army to the surrounding area of Juye in a short time, and he will know by looking at his reaction when the time comes.

With an idea in his heart, Li Ping turned back to the signal soldier and said: "Send a telegram to all departments on the front line, let them find a way to block the devils for a day, and you can't let them move forward." ”

"At the same time, let the commissar send all the information to the chief of staff and let him know about the change in the situation."

After Li Ping finished speaking, he continued to move forward with the guards, originally he was going to stay here and command the operation, but now many judgments make Li Ping prepare to return to the command headquarters, and he can't let the front-line operations get out of his control.

After receiving the telegram, the political commissar directly asked the telegraph operator to explain the recent events to the chief of staff, and the chief of staff who received the telegram gasped, and the situation changed so far that he also felt that it was tricky.

Not only did the chief of staff find it tricky, but the Eighth Route Army fought frantically under Li Ping's orders, and sometimes even counter-charged, just not allowing the devil troops to advance.

The successive telegrams from various ministries gave Sugiyama Moto a headache, Li Ping was crazy again, didn't the troops advance smoothly?

"Your Excellency General, the Eighth Route Army is so strong, we can't complete the combat goal, you see ......."

The meaning of the chief of staff of the devil is very clear, it was originally expected to compress the Eighth Route Army to Juye in three days, but now the Eighth Route Army looks desperate, and it is obviously impossible to complete it.

Sugiyama Yuan was also silent, if he couldn't continue to compress, if he sent two divisions to retreat, the other two divisions would either stay still or retreat together, and he would be sure to deal with Li Ping without two divisions.

But in this way, the good situation he is facing will fall apart, and if Li Ping is given time, the more difficult it will be for him to deal with, and he will feel unwilling to think about it.

But thinking of the Wuhan war, Sugiyama Yuan fell into decay, and that side was too important to the empire's strategy, and reinforcements had to be drawn over.

With a decision in his heart, Sugiyama raised his head and said, "Order the Yamamoto Division, the 101st Division to stop advancing and stabilize the defensive line." ”

"Order the 102nd Division, the 103rd Division, prepare to retreat, and the troops will go to Zaozhuang and prepare to go south."

Sugiyama Yuan was silent after speaking, and the chief of staff of the devil glanced at him and turned to send a telegram, Shengsheng turned the situation to his disadvantage, and the two had no interest in talking.

As soon as Sugiyama Yuan's order arrived, the front-line devils suddenly stopped advancing and immediately established a defense area, and Li Ping also received this information at the first time, and at this time he stood under the map of the headquarters with a smile.

"Sugiyama Yuan, Sugiyama Yuan, I didn't expect you to really hit this idea."

Now Li Ping can completely determine Sugiyama Yuan's strategy, and there is no longer a fog in front of him, and he can come up with a better way to deal with it himself.

The most important thing now is not to let Sugiyama Moto's satisfaction, and he wants to disrupt his rhythm.

"Order the front-line troops, immediately after the attack, retreat and go to Juye to gather."

Now it is Li Ping who wants to fight a positional battle, and if he wants to drag the devil, he must have a bait for Sugiyama Yuan to smell the fragrance.

The changes in the Eighth Route Army made the front-line devils scratch their heads, and watching the sudden retreat after the Eighth Route Army attacked, these devils didn't know whether to chase or not.

A piece of information came to Sugiyama Yuan's hands, and the Eighth Route Army made another abnormal move that he couldn't understand.

"Your Excellency, the situation is the same in all front-line units, and the Eighth Route Army is retreating."

"The intelligence department reported to the reconnaissance force that the Eighth Route Army seems to be preparing for the convergence of Juye."

After the chief of staff of the devil finished speaking, Sugiyama Yuan's eyes widened, what did Li Ping want to do.

"Your Excellency General, since the Eighth Route Army has just realized our plan, do you want to order the front-line troops to continue to advance until the decisive battle with the Eighth Route Army in Juye?"

Sugiyama Yuan was very moved, but he resisted the impulse and calmed down, what kind of person is Li Ping, but he has made himself deflated several times, what is the meaning of his move, does he feel that the losses of the Eighth Route Army on the front line are too great, so he is ready to go to the defense line that he has repaired a long time ago.

Thinking of this, Sugiyama Yuan himself shook his head, the abnormal actions of the Eighth Route Army over and over again must not be simple, could it be that Li Ping found something?

Sugiyama Yuan suddenly had hairs standing up all over his body, the strategy of supporting Wuhan could not be missed, if Li Ping seized the opportunity and entangled his troops, thinking about the result, Sugiyama Yuan shuddered.

Sugiyama Yuan now has to judge Li Ping's purpose, looking at the map, Sugiyama Yuan thought about it, the chief of staff's suggestion is the most direct, so that he can achieve his own goal, as long as the Eighth Route Army is blocked in Juye, then the troops can be transferred to occupy the advantage.

Thinking that he could still control the situation in Shandong after transferring his troops, Sugiyama Yuan suddenly made a decision.

"Order the front-line troops, temporarily carry out the original plan, and the troops continue to advance."

Sugiyama Yuan thought very well, he was going to spend another day compressing the Eighth Route Army Defense Area, but Gangcun Ningji on the other side was in a hurry.

"Baga, hasn't the reinforcement route from Shandong been sent to us yet?"

"Yes, Your Excellency Commander, at the moment we only know that they are preparing supplies in Zaozhuang, and the troops have not yet arrived."

Gangmura Ningji's face darkened, Sugiyama Moto, what are you doing? Lao Tzu is getting more and more sad here day by day, and you are still preparing leisurely.

"Send a telegram to Sugiyama Gen that the reinforcements must arrive in Wuhan within five days, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable."

"At the same time, send a telegram to the headquarters, asking them to urge Sugiyama to send troops."

Gangcun Ningji is now exhausted, the front line can no longer hold the defensive line, and the Chinese army sees the hope of victory, and the morale is high.

Sugiyama's reinforcements must arrive at short notice, otherwise the defeat of Wuhan will be irretrievable.

Sugiyama was also terrified when he received the telegram urging him from Gangmura Ningji and his headquarters, but he did not expect the situation in Wuhan to be so bad.

"Send a telegram to Gangcun Ningci that reinforcements will arrive in five days, please rest assured."

"A telegram was sent to the troops of the railway department, and the troops boarded the train in Xuzhou after replenishing supplies in Zaozhuang and headed for Hubei."

After Sugiyama Yuan finished speaking, he calculated, as long as the troops drove Li Ping's troops to Juye tonight, what he said could be completely realized.

On the other side, when Sugiyama Yuan ordered the troops to continue advancing, Li Ping received a telegram from the front and sneered directly, Sugiyama Yuan, you are going to lose again this time.
