Li Chunqiao went out on the front foot, Liu Xianwei ordered the soldiers to quickly clean up, set up a radio station to report to the general headquarters, Chuzhou had been taken, and the enemy fled in the direction of Yizheng, and at the same time contacted the 24th Group Army and the 43rd Group Army to inform them of the situation, and asked them to move closer to Chuzhou according to the plan, and prepare to start arranging the next defensive deployment.

At the same time, Bengbu.

Zhou Benye, the commander of the 1st Airborne Regiment, was also stepping into the enemy's headquarters in Bengbu, and the headquarters was also in a mess, and the enemy had already fled.

Bengbu belonged to the center of the enemy, only transport troops and a small number of garrisons, and when they heard that the airborne division was coming towards them, the island countries in the city received an order to immediately disperse and flee to the direction of Suzhou.

Zhou Benye dragged out a chair and sat down with a grin, took out the kettle behind his backpack and poured a few sips of water.

After running wildly all morning, he hurried into the city, thinking that there was a fierce battle waiting for him, who knew that he actually harvested an empty city, but it was okay, as long as the goal was achieved, no one liked the days of licking blood on the knife.

Wiping the water traces from the corners of his mouth, Zhou Benye ordered the telegraph soldiers to immediately send a telegram to the headquarters, informing them that Bengbu had been taken, and at the same time ordered a company to immediately advance in the direction of Huainan to prepare to welcome the special operations division into the city.

The other ministries could not be idle, immediately searched and arrested the whole city, cleared the remnants of the island army, and at the same time posted a list of the people, informing them that the national army had recovered Bengbu, and the hard days of the common people were over.

Jinan, General Headquarters of the Island Army.

Okamura Ninji waved his arms and roared: "Tada Jun is dead, he actually abandoned Chuzhou without authorization, opened the door to Nanjing, and ignored the life and death of the 12th Army of the Locust Army, I must report to the base camp and break the body of this defeated general and coward into pieces!" ”

After Okamura Ningji finished scolding, he ordered the staff officer to draft a telegram, and seemed to be a little impatient, at this time Ishihara Waner came up: "Wait, Okamura-kun, it is not a bad thing for many Tian Jun to retreat to the ceremonial expedition, temporarily avoid the edge to preserve strength, and as soon as the twelfth army of the locust army arrives, I don't believe that the army that occupies Chuzhou at this time can block the attack of the two armies of the locust army." ”

Okamura Ninji said angrily: "Which coward are you still talking to at this time?" And you, didn't you say that Jiang Haoran would attack Xuzhou in a big way soon, and he would be tired? ”

Ishihara's face turned red, and he said embarrassedly: "This ...... Jiang Haoran's mind is indeed unpredictable, and no one would have imagined that he would give up Xuzhou, which is at his fingertips, but he pointed the finger at the Twelfth Army of the Locust Army. ”

As soon as Okamura was about to say something, the staff officer made an urgent report that the First Army had sent an urgent telegram saying that no trace of the 27 th Group Army had been found this morning, and it was suspected that it had withdrawn from the battlefield in northern Anhui.

Immediately, a telegram from the special high school arrived, informing them that the special operations division and the new third division had entered Bengbu City, but the troops did not stay in the city and drove directly in the direction of Suzhou.

Okamura Ninji and Ishihara looked at each other, and almost exclaimed in unison: "Two prongs!" ”

Immediately, the two of them walked to the combat sand table without saying a word, and after a careful comparison, Okamura Ningji said fiercely: "Jiang Haoran has great ambitions, he wants to take Xuzhou at the same time, but also to annihilate the twelfth army of the locust army, too rampant, too little to take the locust army in his eyes, this time I must gather all the superior forces and eat his special operations division and the new third division." ”

Ishihara Wan'er said worriedly: "I'm afraid this is exactly what Jiang Haoran wants, he is hoping that the locust army will fight him a decisive battle at this time." Moreover, at this time, the locust army had lost the advantage of a decisive battle with him, the north-south passage was cut off, the material supply of the locust army was all pressed on the Jinpu railway, and the original one-line troop arrangement was also interspersed with thousands of holes by him. ”

Okamura Ninji said frantically: "Could it be that the locust army can only be a little sheep and let him slaughter it?" ”

Ishihara Waner thought about it slightly, and said: "Okamura-kun, the war is by no means a matter of fighting for a while, we should let go of the strategic vision, let go a little farther, at the moment the locust army is a two-front battle, troops and materials are very tight, even if it is a passive battle, we should also uphold the principle of 'preserving strength and quelling the war', as far as possible to avoid the decisive battle of the large corps, and extend the war indefinitely, although the loss of Xuzhou has become a foregone conclusion, but behind Xuzhou we still have Jinan, Shijiazhuang, Beijing, and the three eastern provinces, the national army is brave, It is also impossible to hit Beijing in a short period of time, that is to say, the locust army still has a vast depth, which is enough to drag the time to the moment when the German-Japanese Far East will meet, and then the 800,000 Kwantung Army will come back to help, coupled with the steel torrent of German tanks, it will be effortless to sweep China again, and at that time, Okamura-kun can settle any hatred and hatred with Jiang Haoran one by one, and should not fight with him at this time. ”

Ishihara's tirade made Okamura Ninji nod unconsciously, and the anger and hatred in his eyes slowly receded, and then he said in a calm tone: "Then what do you think we should do now?" ”

Ishihara said: "On the Chuzhou side, after the arrival of the 12th Army, with the assistance of the 50th Army, we will make every effort to defeat Chuzhou, and the troops will immediately retreat to the front line of Yizheng and Yangzhou to defend Nanjing. On the northern Anhui side, the First Army jumped out of the battlefield in northern Anhui and waited for changes on the front line of Zhengzhou, Kaifeng, and Shangqiu. In Xuzhou, the Tenth Army pulled up a defensive line between Bozhou, Suzhou, and Lingbi to resist step by step, and tried to delay time as much as possible, until all the offensive troops of the army were in place, and the troops retreated from Shangqiu and Xuzhou, and arranged the defense line in Linyi, Jining, and Heze to prepare for the second phase of the campaign. ”

"Yo Xi!" Okamura nodded repeatedly, and even a long-lost smile appeared on his face.

Wuhan Xingying, the former enemy headquarters of the national army.

Just as the newspaper was flying in front of him, Wuhan Xingying welcomed three heavyweight guests.

Two of them are old acquaintances of Jiang Haoran, General Marshall, the army chief of staff of the United States, and Robert Anthony Eden, the foreign secretary of the United Kingdom. There is also a rank that is not low, the Foreign Minister of the Soviet Union, Acheslav Mikhailovich Molotov.

These three big men came at this time, and Akari came to commend the Chinese soldiers for their victories on the battlefield of resistance against Japan and their outstanding contributions to the international anti-fascist alliance, but everyone knows that they have only one purpose, that is, jet fighters.
