"Hello sir," Zhang Wei and Qiu Qingquan said in unison. Li Zongren waved his hand: "I heard that you are prominent from Nanjing. Li Zongren didn't look at Zhang Wei, but stared at Qiu Qingquan, it seems that his level is still too low.

"Yes, sir, we broke out of Nanjing, and the specific ones are under the command of this captain under my command, if you have any questions, you can ask him." Qiu Qingquan glanced at him, Zhang Wei knew that Qiu Qingquan was helping himself and leaving a good impression in front of Li Zongren, which would be beneficial and harmless for Zhang Wei's future development.

So Zhang Wei briefly talked about the process of sticking to the battle from Purple Mountain to Nameless Village, and Li Zongren's eyes also became very interesting, especially when he heard that a squadron was defeated in the battle of Nameless Village.

But Zhang Wei could see that it was an expression of disbelief.

"Knock out a squadron, really?"

"If you don't believe it, you can go and see the troops, the captured weapons are still there." When Li Zongren heard Zhang Wei say this, he followed to see the troops, and his eyes were scattered and vigilant, and the soldiers were resting in an orderly manner, which was already quite good.

When he saw those 38 rifles piled up together and Dong Erli's eight grenadiers, he had nothing to doubt anymore.

"Chief of Staff Qiu and Company Commander Zhang are really models for our party-state soldiers, and I don't know what their plans are for the future."

The main event came, Qiu Qingquan said solemnly: "My generation of soldiers only has the word "kill the enemy", so I also hope that Chief Li can give him a place to stay." ”

Li Zongren did not give a positive answer, but only talked about the current war situation in Xuzhou, Anhui and other places, and finally vaguely mentioned his current predicament and his "thirst" for the Central Army. ”

Zhang Wei didn't react to this product, anyway, it has nothing to do with him, and he can't control it, so why don't you like it.

Qiu Qingquan's heart kept savoring Li Zongren's words, and finally gave an answer that surprised Zhang Wei.

"Chief Li, if you can leave us behind, we can help in the war, we are the Central Army."

Zhang Wei was speechless, we are the Central Army, but there are less than 200 people in total, and it is not enough to stuff the teeth of the Japanese.

Li Zongren said: "What is Chief of Staff Qiu's opinion? ”

"Chief Li may not know, the contemptible people broke through in Nanjing this time, and most of the contemptible people and these brothers will not return to the teaching corps, you are an elder, but also a senior, it is nothing to tell you, contemptible and these brothers will go to the armored force that is about to be established by Chief Du Yuming, and the newly established troops are naturally eager to fight, and perhaps they will win over some troops to the Xuzhou area."

The meaning of the madman Qiu is very clear, we will bring the troops over and try our best to find the central army to help you, of course, you also have to give us a place to rest, and at the same time, this is also an opportunity for the troops to make meritorious contributions. Du Yuming's army has just been established, and now it also needs to test itself to prove itself, and at the same time, it is also a favor for Du Yuming.

"It's slippery," Zhang Wei sighed, and Li Qiu and the others had unknowingly completed the "transaction." ”

Then there was an innocuous question, Li Zongren asked: "What do you two think of the battle situation in Xuzhou?" "This time, Zhang Wei was also piggybacked. Li Zongren could see that Qiu Qingquan valued this small company commander very much, and the one who led the team to break through was by no means a simple person.

Qiu Qingquan gave Zhang Wei a look and motioned for him to say boldly. Qiu Qingquan himself replied, "Let my subordinate answer, he is very insightful." Qiu Qingquan didn't answer himself, firstly because he didn't understand it at present, and secondly because of the promotion of Zhang Wei.

"Then I have the courage to say a few words, the war in Nanjing and Shanxi is nearing the end, and the next target of the Japanese will inevitably be Wuhan, Anhui and other places.

"According to the usual practice, they must first use the brigade and wing as the backbone, supplement the infantry, cavalry, artillery, engineering and other units, and form a "detachment" to attack our army on the railway, that is, various key points on the Tianjin-Pudong line, such as Lincheng, Zaozhuang, and other places. ”

"Once our army is forced to attack, it will inevitably be in a passive position, and the purpose of the Japanese army dispatching such small units is to disrupt our army, and at the same time capture the cities of the Jinpu line, completely gain an advantage on the outer line, and prepare for the attack on Xuzhou by the large corps."

"I'm afraid they will not only send troops in one direction, although the Japanese army is insufficient, but the backbone of the two brigade and regimental level and the wing level is still transferred." Zhang Wei said it was all based on his later understanding of the Taierzhuang War, and based on the formation and combat process of the Sakamoto detachment and the Seya detachment.

After Zhang Wei finished speaking, not only Li Zongren, but even Qiu Qingquan's face changed, as if to say: You kid is hiding deep enough.

Li Zongren nodded with satisfaction: "Company Commander Zhang is so old and has such insight, it's rare." ”

Li Zongren was very satisfied with the decision to leave this small army behind for no reason, and subconsciously felt that he would get permission to win more actions of the Central Army.

"Adjutant, go and arrange a garrison for Company Commander Zhang, and replenish some food and weapons."

After Li Zongren gave the order, he turned around and left, followed by Qiu Qingquan, who needed to borrow a radio and telephone to communicate, and even more important matters to discuss with Li Zongren.

The adjutant walked over: "Company Commander Zhang, let's go, follow me to the station." Zhang Wei thanked him, turned around and ordered.

"All of them, the equipment, stand up!" With Zhang Wei's order, the officers and soldiers who were originally resting on the ground quickly stood up, lined up in four columns with platoons as units, and taught the veterans of the corps to be very skillful.

The adjutant also had to admire the preparation and formation of the troops, no wonder the commander valued it so much, this unit was really powerful.

Under the discussion of the people, Zhang Wei led the troops out of the Xuzhou Railway Station in an orderly manner, and outside the railway station, there were five ten-wheeled trucks that had just arrived, which were here to pull Zhang Wei and them, and there were two trucks behind them, which were full of supplies and supplementary ammunition.

Zhang Wei and the adjutant got into the freight car of the first car, and the two of them chatted with each other, and Zhang Wei learned from the adjutant's mouth that the station arranged for them was the barracks of the war defense artillery unit before the war, and the war defense artillery troops before the war were all concentrated and trained in battalions and regiments, and now there are no big troops near Xuzhou because they have been sent out, and there is no need to worry about safety, this place and conditions and environment are naturally not bad.

Li Zongren is really not thin on himself, and when he arrives in Taierzhuang, he should give him some strength, even if the current strength is too small.

But now that there has been a small change in history, Qiu Qingquan has followed him to Xuzhou, will the upcoming Battle of Taierzhuang be the same as in the previous life?
