Chapter 1168: Diverting the Tiger from the Mountain

But everyone's answer was vague, and they threw the right to make a decision to Li Zongjian again, everyone knew that this up-and-coming bird could not be a bird, and this state could not be expressed, and when the time came, other immortals would hurt mortals.

Things are at an impasse again, Li Zongjian has never been able to make up his mind, although he has shown tolerance and generosity to Jiang Haoran's policy, but he has never let go of his jealousy, knowing that this son must be his future rival, or there will be no idea of getting rid of him by the hands of the island army, this newly established third war zone is completely his Jiang Haoran's new force, itself is already as powerful, and hundreds of thousands of horses in another war zone will be added, after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War in the future, if Jiang Haoran is willing, where will there be anything to do with him Li Zongjian, so, His entanglement is also common sense.

But it was such a coincidence, at this time, Mao Renfeng hurriedly came in to report that the Hangzhou Station of the Military Command Bureau had just obtained information that a large number of island troops had landed in Hangzhou Bay, and the preliminary estimate was that the strength of the troops exceeded six divisions, including many elite divisions such as the Second Guards Division.

As soon as the news came out, the command headquarters was full of exclamations, the island army at this time such a large-scale increase in troops, this is the rhythm of a decisive battle, the national army in southern Anhui, Suzhou and Hangzhou defense line allocation is only Yu Jishi's 19th Group Army, the 40th Group Army's new 10th Army, the new 32nd Army, plus the Hurricane Column, the strength is only more than 200,000 points, although it is a feint, but it is also facing the enemy's 13th Army, the 21st Army hundreds of thousands of troops, plus the puppet army in Central China, the strength is at least a multiple of the national army, The pressure on the strength of the army was already stretched, but now that the island army has suddenly increased by six divisions, the pressure can be imagined.

If the island army launches a full-front counteroffensive against the feint troops, Wenzhou, Quzhou, Chizhou, and Xuancheng may all face a situation of insecurity. Of course, this possibility is still very small, with the current war potential of the island army, striving for self-protection is still insufficient, they may not do this kind of thing to expand the territory and invade on a large scale, but they also have to guard against it, at least this is also a retreat strategy to encircle Wei and save Zhao, but the national army has to be saved, and the pressure on Xuzhou will naturally be reduced.

To change the way of thinking, if the island army puts these troops into the battlefield in Xuzhou, the pressure on Xuzhou will also multiply instantly, and the future victory or defeat will also be unpredictable, so at this time, if there is a force to contain the island army's reinforcements, it is particularly important, and the important ministers of the party-state began to reiterate Jiang Haoran's suggestion just now to rebuild the third theater.

In the short term, the national army will not be able to mobilize troops to support the front line in southern Anhui and Suzhou and Hangzhou, and Han Deqin's 24th Group Army and the newly formed 43rd Group Army are at the junction of the North and South Island Army.

A number of important ministers of the party-state, represented by Vice President He Yingjing and Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Air Force Zhou Zhirou, began to suggest that Li Zongjian put the overall situation of the party-state first and rebuild the Third Theater in accordance with Jiang Haoran's plan.

Forced by the situation, Li Zongjian had no choice but to grit his teeth and agree, and appointed Gu Lian as the commander-in-chief of the Third Theater and deputy commander-in-chief on the spot. Peng Ju, Chief of Staff Chen Jiheng.

Chen Jiheng graduated from the Guangxi Army Lecture Hall, the Infantry School of the Army of the Island Country, and the first phase of the general officer class of the Central Army University, successively served as the regiment commander, division commander, deputy commander, and is now the chief of staff of the Seventh Army.

According to Jiang Haoran's intentions, the Hurricane Column was reorganized into the 44th Group Army, with Lieutenant General Li Tie as the commander-in-chief and Major General Gu Changsen as the chief of staff, under the jurisdiction of the new 16th Division, the new 17th Division, the new 18th Division, and the New 19th Division.

The Hurricane Column originally had 12 regiments, each regiment had more than 4,000 people, and the strength was close to 100,000, although more than 20,000 were transferred from it to supplement the expeditionary force, but in the following year or so, the troops had already reached the original number, and even more, with Jiang Haoran's golden signboard, the recruitment of troops was never a problem.

The 12 regiments were scattered and divided into four divisions, each with an establishment of no less than 24,000 men, which was completely based on Jiang Haoran's A division.

Han Deqin's 24th Group Army, which originally had two armies and six divisions, seized this opportunity to abolish the corps and brigade levels, and reorganized the troops into six divisions from the new 20th Division to the new 26th Division.

Most of the heads are gone, of course Li Zongjian will not worry about these details with Jiang Haoran, everything is what Jiang Haoran says, what he is most worried about is how Jiang Haoran will solve the crisis in front of him, although the third theater has been established, but the strength has not increased, how can these newly formed troops block a large number of enemy reinforcements?

Jiang Haoran was obviously confident, and immediately ordered Gu to immediately leave for the front line of Tongling and Xuancheng, where the 44th Group Army was already waiting for him, their current task was to attack the southern Anhui defense line of the Island Army with the cooperation of Yu Jishi's 19th Group Army, and the troops advanced along the Yangtze River to Wuhu and Ma'anshan, posing as a threat to Nanjing, and at the same time ordered the 24th Group Army and the 43rd Group Army to advance in the direction of Xuyi and Lai'an, and gather all the forces of the Third Theater plus the 19th Group Army to build momentum for the attack on Nanjing. In this way, the island army in Central China will certainly not dare to act rashly, and can only defend it desperately.

Jiang Haoran demonstrated on the map, the situation suddenly became clear, the troops were attacking the junction of the north-south passage of the island army, the island army must go all out, this area is not small, the reinforcements of the six divisions of the island army are just right to defend, I am afraid that one less division will not work.

An embarrassment and a crisis were thus resolved, and Gu Lian also left the headquarters in a hurry, and there was a helicopter outside that would send him to the front, and he would begin to write a new legend in his fifties.

Perhaps because Jiang Haoran's return gave everyone confidence and backbone, the atmosphere of the command headquarters became relaxed, although the battle situation has not changed significantly, and the front troops in northern Anhui are still surrounded by the enemy, but the commanders are confident and calm, what do they have to worry about.

It's a pity that this situation didn't last long, with an urgent report coming from the northern Anhui front, the command headquarters that had just calmed down once again set off an uproar, this time, even Jiang Haoran, who had always been calm, jumped up and scolded angrily.

Just now, at about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the island military air force used a small number of fighter planes to divert the tigers from the mountains to lure away the reconnaissance planes of the Nationalist army.
