Wuhan camp.

Bai Chongxi, chief of staff of the State Government and deputy commander-in-chief of the Battle of Xuzhou, praised the troops of the Fifth Theater for ushering in an unprecedented victory at the command headquarters, successfully smashing the enemy's encirclement, not to mention the fact that the island army retreated again and again, and now even forced the 1O8 Division and the 1O9 Division on the southern front of the island army to begin to withdraw from the battlefield in northern Anhui on the other side of the Xiqi River, thus opening up a new situation in northern Anhui.

Since the start of the war, first Bai Chongxi's command failed, and then the departments of the Fifth War Zone were in a dilemma, these are like two mountains pressing on Li and Bai, and now they have finally cleared the clouds and see the sun, so they have to be nervous, but they didn't expect that all of this was actually the result of Jiang Haoran's strategy.

Everyone thought that Jiang Haoran would definitely have to fight on the grounds, and the three divisions of his Nanshan Independent Army still inflicted heavy losses on the island army despite heavy casualties, and there were special operations divisions and women's divisions that swept across the Quartet, and they could all claim this merit.

But what surprised everyone was that Jiang Haoran not only agreed, but also suggested that Sun Lianzhong should be pushed to the position of commander-in-chief of the Fifth Theater of Operations, and that President Li Zongjian was no longer in the army, and should be given full delegation of power, instead of having many constraints as now, and General Sun Lianzhong's ability was also obvious to all, and he was fully capable of doing this job.

As soon as these words came out, the command headquarters was silent, everyone knew that Sun Lianzhong was born in the Northwest Army, not Li Zongjian's descendants, and it was the chairman of the committee who considered his outstanding achievements in the Battle of Taierzhuang, so he had to be put in the position of deputy commander-in-chief of the Fifth Theater, after Li Zongjian took the position, the reason why he still held the post of commander-in-chief of the Fifth Theater was that he was not at ease with him, so Li Zongjian said that he would not hand over his descendant army to a person who he was not at ease with.

In the eyes of everyone, Jiang Haoran's move was just to give Li Zongjian and Bai Chongxi a problem, don't you want to fight for your subordinates? Just homeopathically stuff only dead rats for you, disgusting to death you.

This move is undoubtedly clever, if Li and Bai do not agree, it will chill Sun Lianzhong's heart, if they agree, their own ace troops will be handed over to an outsider.

Li Zongjian is an outstanding politician in the end, and he is able to resolve this kind of crisis with ease, and he started on the spot haha, only saying that the battle has just begun, and it is not the time to reward meritorious deeds, as for whether Sun Lianzhong is promoted to commander-in-chief of the Fifth Theater, he feels that the time is not yet ripe, Sun Lianzhong does have this ability, but it has only been more than a year since he arrived in the Fifth Theater, and he has not yet fully understood the troops below and has been recognized by the majority of officers and soldiers, so it still takes time to run in. Full handover of command.

This is said so brightly that it is impossible to refute, even if it reaches Sun Lianzhong's ears, he can't find anything wrong, at most he scolds the "old fox", but everyone knows that this opportunity will never be Sun Lianzhong's turn.

Of course, Jiang Haoran didn't expect Li Zongjian to fall for his plan, this matter was regarded as an episode, but it would undoubtedly bury a thorn in Sun Lianzhong's heart, and his determination to join his camp would be more resolute.

At this moment, a staff officer hurriedly arrived and reported that a large number of island troops were rushing to Hanshan in the direction of Chuzhou.

Immediately, Mao Renfeng also came to report, and the agents of the Central Command confirmed that the enemy heading to the direction of Hanshan was the second division of the Island Army, and another division was assembling, and the target direction was also Hanshan.

"Okay, that's what I'm waiting for!" Jiang Haoran praised the knot, and then walked quickly to the combat sand table, and a group of staff officers and generals also hurriedly surrounded him.

At this point, all of Jiang Haoran's goals have been achieved, and the time is ripe for a surprise attack on Huainan and an airborne landing in Bengbu.

Jiang Haoran stood by the sand table and ordered the telecommunications corps to reconfirm the positions of the Special Operations Division, the New Third Division, the New First Division, the New Second Division, and the New Fourth Division.

The news soon came back that the 1st Brigade of the Special Operations Division was only five hours away from Huainan, the main force was only six or seven hours away, and the main forces of the following divisions could reach Huainan in only one day.

Jiang Haoran was in the shadows, and took advantage of Liu Bao's first banner to break through, but he took advantage of the situation to drive away the unfamiliar faces of the local people along the Xiqi River, and drove out all the spies that might be left by the island army, so as to remove all obstacles for the troops behind him to advance.

The island army has completely lost air supremacy, and even reconnaissance planes do not dare to easily go into the sky, and the radar opportunities of the Chinese air force have made it impossible for them to hide, and in addition, the troops of several divisions are out of the day and night, and the island army has no trace at all.

Although several of their divisions were crippled, as soon as the reinforcements arrived, they were immediately fully loaded again, and each division left only one regiment to sweep along the Xiqi River, and the rest all went straight to Huainan, and even the tank division was not left behind, and they would become the vanguard of the fast connection to Bengbu.

Everything was ready, Jiang Haoran immediately issued an order to attack, with the special operations division as the vanguard, to reach Huainan before tonight, and then launch a fierce attack, early tomorrow morning, the remaining divisions must reach the periphery of Huainan, outflank it in an all-round way, and must take Huainan in the afternoon.

The telecommunications corps sent out all kinds of telegrams urgently, and the staff team immediately formulated operational arrangements, and the command headquarters was busy.

The order was issued here, and Jiang Haoran ordered to formulate a defense plan for Chaoxian County, and the New Fourth Army, the Eighth Route Army, and the Women's Division were each other's horns, and immediately built complete fortifications to prepare for the enemy's frantic counterattack.

An hour later, on the west bank of the Xiqi River.

Liu Bao stood on the curb and raised his arms and shouted: "I have heard it clearly, the death order of the general seat must be attacked before evening, so you must all give Lao Tzu a twelve-point spirit, even if you break your leg, you must reach Huainan City before five o'clock." ”

The heralds rushed to both ends to convey Liu Bao's orders, and the team surged forward like a tide, with no end in sight.

In the sky above the team, several reconnaissance planes circled at low altitude to escort the team on the rapid march.

Looking down from the sky, behind Liu Bao's First Brigade, in the mountains and mountains on the west bank of the entire Xiqi River, dense soldiers can be seen everywhere running wildly, and the target direction is directed towards Huainan.

At the same time, on an unknown hill on the east bank of the Xiqi River, Yanagawa Heisuke, commander-in-chief of the 10th Army of the Island Army, was leading a group of staff generals to observe the terrain.

A senior staff officer suddenly pointed to the west bank of the Xiqi River and exclaimed, "Look, what is that on the other side?" ”

A group of people immediately looked in the direction of the staff officer's finger, only to see that between the vast heaven and earth, a cloud of smoke in mid-air stretched for several miles, like a yellow dragon dancing wildly, and the form was realistic and spectacular.
