Jiangsu Province

Xuzhou.

Kong Jie, Zhou Weiguo, Ding Wei, Zhentianlei, Li Xiangyang, Zhang Dabiao and others all looked at the red location on the combat map!

"Brigade commander, the next big battle will be in Xuzhou?" Li Xiangyang asked: "This place in Xuzhou looks inconspicuous! ”

"That's right!" Li Yunlong said: "The little devil is holding back in Xuzhou~ a big move!" ”

Xuzhou, referred to as Xu, known as Pengcheng in ancient times, is located in the northwest of Jiangsu Province, the southeast of the North China Plain, the north wing of the Yangtze River Delta, known as the "thoroughfare of the five provinces". It is an important gateway city in East China.

Xuzhou is one of the nine states in China in history, since ancient times it is the key to the north, the gateway to the south, the place where soldiers must fight and the center of businessmen, with more than 6,000 years of civilization history and 2,600 years of city history, it is the hometown of famous emperors, and there is the saying of "the emperor of the nine dynasties _ Xuzhou nationality".

Because Xuzhou is the "thoroughfare of the five provinces", it has always been a battleground for soldiers, so there have been major wars here!

"This is not an inconspicuous place, this place is the main battlefield of the Battle of Xuzhou!" Zhou Weiguo said: "This is a very tragic battle! ”

"That's right!" Li Yunlong nodded and said, "It seems that this time the Japanese army is preparing to start the second Battle of Xuzhou!" ”

The Battle of Xuzhou was a large-scale defensive battle between China and Japan in the Jinpu and Longhai railway areas centered on Xuzhou, Jiangsu Province during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.

At that time, in order to open up the Tianjin-Pudong Railway and connect the battlefields of North China and Central China, the Japanese army expanded its aggression and adopted the policy of advancing from north to south and attacked Xuzhou. In this battle, the Chinese troops participated in the war, with 70 divisions and about 1 million people, which lasted five months. In the end, the total number of casualties of the Chinese army was more than 65,000. The Japanese suffered more than 26,000 casualties in the Battle of Xuzhou.

It can be said that the Battle of Xuzhou was a large-scale and victorious battle, but then, the supreme military authorities ignored the overall situation of the enemy's strength and weakness, mobilized a large army near Xuzhou, and attempted to fight a decisive battle with the Japanese army, thus making the battle passive in the later stage, and finally led to the defeat of the Battle of Xuzhou.

"The last battle of Xuzhou failed, but this time it was different."

Li Yunlong looked at everyone and said: "According to the information provided by the dark web, this time the Japanese puppet army has gathered nearly 100,000 Japanese puppet troops in Xuzhou, and with the natural danger and terrain, they are ready to fight us to the death!" ”

"100,000 troops?" Shocking Thunder was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Is the little devil really planning to make a desperate bet this time?" ”

"Xuzhou is an important checkpoint, as long as we capture Xuzhou, we can enter the plain as far as the eye can see, and approach Beiping and Tianjin, it is precisely because of this that the little devils are gathering most of the troops nearby to garrison Xuzhou! Prepare for a new battle of Xuzhou! ”

Everyone nodded, and after Li Yunlong's analysis, everyone knew that there was a big battle to start next!

After resting in this county for a day, the Iron Brigade then began to continue its march north, and the goal was Xuzhou!

"This time, in order to expand the results of the battle and form a strong situation against our side, we have adopted a three-way offensive forward mode!"

Li Yunlong looked at the main officers present and said: "Ding Wei is in charge of the left side, Zhentianlei and Zhang Dabiao are fighting on the left side together, Kong Jie is in charge of the right side, and Li Xiangyang and Chang Fa are fighting on the right side!" ”

"The remaining troops are fighting on the main road, the goal is Xuzhou, and the three-way attack will arrive in Xuzhou!"

"Yes!"

Ding Wei, Kong Jie, Zhou Weiguo, Zhentian Lei and others all responded with a bang.

Early the next morning, the army of the Iron and Blood Brigade began to wave its division to continue the attack to the north, and the troops were divided into three ways to continuously expand the results!

As Li Yunlong guessed, the Japanese army was constantly shrinking its forces and gathering in Xuzhou, so the next county did not encounter too many obstacles!

The Iron Blood Brigade is famous, and some county towns occupied by the Imperial Allied Army and the National Salvation Army heard that the Iron Blood Brigade was attacking, and they fled one after another, and were defeated without a fight.

It is precisely because of this that the three-way offensive of the Iron and Blood Brigade is very fast, and it is like a bamboo along the way, and it quickly wants to kill Xuzhou.

Of course, some important county towns will also be guarded by Japanese puppet troops.

···········

County!

The more than 5,000 Japanese puppet troops in the city originally wanted to defend the county seat, but now when they saw Li Yunlong's middle army of more than 30,000 outside the city, they were stunned!

After looking at the dense predators outside the city, the commander of an imperial alliance army swallowed his saliva, looked at a Japanese soldier next to him, and said slowly: "Taijun, do we really want to defend to the death?" There are too many Predators out there! ”

Compared with many garrison troops, the Iron Blood Brigade is much more advanced than the Japanese puppet army in terms of number of troops and poor equipment!

"Eight Ga Ya Road!" That Dazuo roared angrily: "When will our Imperial Japanese Army take the initiative to surrender!" ”

...................

"Pass my order, all soldiers must defend the county seat, otherwise they will be shot on the spot!"

"Hey!" The herald delivers quickly!

Li Yunlong saw that the Japanese puppet army in this county town had no intention of surrendering, and immediately waved his hand and shouted with great momentum: "Attack!" ”

With Li Yunlong's order issued, the artillery regiment opened fire!

"Boom...... bongbongbong……”

Bursts of cannonballs rained down on the tower, followed by violent explosions.

After the bombardment, the Predator began to bombard the castle tower like a tide, and at the same time the guns in his hands continued to shoot at the Japanese army.

"Dada......"

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

The dense bullet fire network was able to make the Japanese puppet army unable to parry at all, and only held out for half an hour before surrendering.

Stubborn?

That was the decision not to encounter the ignorance of the attack of the Predators!

Under the rapid offensive of the Iron and Blood Brigade, not many Japanese puppet troops could stop it.

The three-way troops approached Xuzhou from three directions.
