At this point in the battle, Jiang Haoran frankly admitted that there was no second way to forcibly tear apart the defense line of the island army, but all the generals knew how difficult it was to tear apart the layers of encirclement arranged by the island army's helicopters, tanks, and heavy troops.

Jiang Haoran didn't seem to be worried, and calmly ordered the Wei Lihuang Department of the First Theater of Operations, the Yan Xishan Department of the Second Theater of Operations, the Xue Yue Department of the Ninth Theater of Operations in the direction of Hefei, and the New Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army of Yan'an, strictly ordering them to immediately launch the fiercest attack on their respective target fronts and put pressure on the island army to relieve the pressure on the besieged troops.

The Special Operations Division and the New Third Division were ordered to immediately go to the front line of Zhoukou and Fuyang, and cooperate with the Third Army and the 21st Group Army of the Ninth Theater to attack the defense line of the Island Army from the front, and open a breakthrough at all costs so that the trapped troops could break through.

At the same time, the besieged 11th Army and the 30th Army were ordered to do everything possible to move closer to the middle ground and smash the enemy's division and encirclement, so that they could receive airdropped supplies.

Jiang Haoran's disposition made everyone a little disappointed, because there was nothing outstanding, almost all of them were what Bai Chongxi was doing, except for the mobilization of Bai Chongxi's immobile special operations division and the new third division to go to the front line, the others were the same, and everyone knew that these alone could not solve the current crisis at all, otherwise Bai Chongxi would not be so anxious to get angry.

But Jiang Haoran didn't do anything, dragged out a chair and sat aside, crossed Erlang's legs and smoked leisurely.

A group of people looked at each other, but they didn't dare to step forward to ask, and finally Li Zongjian stepped forward with a dry cough and questioned: "Ziqian, these arrangements of yours are still treating the symptoms rather than the root cause, the island army in front of you has at least two divisions and regiments on this defense line built by Maji, Gongdian, Wangshi, and Lixin, and there are heavy weapons such as tanks, helicopters, and heavy artillery, it is difficult for us to tear this defense line in a short time, but the ammunition, food and grass of the besieged army may be difficult to support for three days, you know, they are advancing lightly, It is impossible to carry a large amount of supplies, and I originally thought that there was a strong logistics transportation that would be worry-free, but who knew that the island army was so cunning and cut off our logistics channels, so I am afraid it will be too late to wait for pressure from the periphery. ”

Jiang Haoran spat out a puff of cigarette and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm just disinfection, the operation hasn't started yet, and everything will be clear when I finish the surgery on the little devil." ”

"Surgery? What do you mean? Li Zongjian frowned.

Jiang Haoran threw away the cigarette butt in his hand, glanced around, got up and whispered in Li Zongjian's ear for a while, but Li Zongjian's expression became more complicated, and he seemed to be a little incredulous and said, "Is this possible?" Really? ”

Jiang Haoran smiled heartily and said, "Don't worry, President, I, Jiang Haoran, never joke with the lives of the soldiers." ”

Li Zongjian exhaled heavily, as if he had let go of the burden of a thousand catties, and nodded: "Then I will rest assured, I know that there is no problem that Ziqian can't solve." ”

As soon as they heard that Jiang Haoran had another killer move, the expressions of the people in the room suddenly relaxed, and at the same time, they began to wonder what this "surgery" was, and they all whispered.

Jiang Haoran seemed to suddenly remember, and said: "By the way, President, at the moment, Okamura Ningji may feel that the attack intensity of our first line in southern Anhui and Hangzhou is not enough, and he even transferred the Tenth Army to northern Anhui, so I suggest that the troops be increased to increase the attack on this line to prevent them from repeating their old tricks again." ”

Li Zongjian said: "Yes, we have already seen it, so we are preparing to transfer the 71st Army in Hengyang." ”

"It will be at least half a month before the 71st Army comes up, it is too long to put too much pressure on the island army, I suggest that the Third Theater be reorganized immediately, and I have brought General Gu to you, and it is very suitable for him to be the commander-in-chief of the Third Theater." After Jiang Haoran finished speaking, he pointed to Gu Yi who was not far away.

"Rebuilding the third theater at this time, tired of soldiers? Can an empty shell scare the island army? Li Zongjian subconsciously glanced at Gu Lianyi, looking dazed.

Jiang Haoran was straightforward, and frankly admitted that he had just formed the 43rd Group Army, because he had just collected this group of puppet troops, if he didn't give them a suitable identity, it would be difficult to stabilize the morale of the army, and the situation was urgent, so he made his own decisions without the consent of the president, and asked the president not to mind.

Li Zongjian's face changed significantly, but he quickly returned to normal, but he praised Jiang Haoran for doing the right thing, of course, special circumstances can only be treated specially, and if he misses this opportunity to disintegrate the strength of the island army, there may not be a next time.

Perhaps encouraged, Jiang Haoran spoke faster, and said that the Hurricane Column had made countless meritorious contributions, but there had never been a formal establishment, so it was time to give them a name, so he suggested that the Hurricane Column, the 24th Group Army, and the 43rd Group Army should be based on the formation of the Third Theater, which not only solved the problem of tight troops, but also allowed several troops to quickly gather together to form combat effectiveness, especially for the troops who had just surrendered. It can attract more puppet army troops to join the national army camp, because this move shows the importance that the national government attaches to them.

Li Zongjian looked embarrassed, and after thinking for a long time, he said frankly that he had no opinion on the rebuilding of the third war zone, and he could also approve of it based on these troops, but he could not be Gu Lian in the selection of the commander-in-chief, after all, the third war zone was destroyed in his hands, and he could not fall on the same person twice, but he could consider Bai Chongxi concurrently serving as the commander, and he was more suitable than Gu Lian in terms of ability and qualifications.

Jiang Haoran argued with reason, of course, there is no problem with Chief Bai's ability, but at present, Han Deqin has been fighting alone behind enemy lines for nearly two years, and the government has not provided them with military salaries and material supplements, and he is probably disappointed with the government, and Chief Bai may not be able to convince him when he takes office, the current situation is pressing, and gathering the hearts of the army is the first priority, and Gu Lian is Han Deqin's old friend and old commander, from this point of view, the candidate for this commander-in-chief can only be Gu Lian, at least for the time being, he can only be him, as for the future ......, What the president has in mind is another matter.

Li Zongjian hesitated again and again, Jiang Haoran also repeatedly reiterated the importance of this move, not because of a small loss, now the battle of Xuzhou is unpredictable, a little carelessness may be a complete loss, so that Su, Mi, Ying disappointed, that is a catastrophe, lost their assistance, the national government wants to organize another such an attack is almost impossible, when the decision is constantly will suffer, as the leader of a country, must consider the overall situation.

Jiang Haoran simply forced Li Zongjian into a corner, in fact, at this time, He Yingjing, Bai Chongxi and other big men had already surrounded them, knowing the whole thing, Li Zongjian had no choice but to turn his searching eyes on them.
