Jiang Haoran rolled his eyes and said: "The Yellow River is still the mother of China, Hele, in order to retreat from the enemy, it wasn't that it was dug up, so in the face of the death of the country, none of this matters?" As for whether the Soviets are so insidious, I don't think I need to say more about this, everyone should know better than me that in the face of national interests, the so-called diplomatic relations and allies are all beautiful words on the lips, and it is not as affordable as a piece of butt wiping paper. ”

Li Zongjian said: "Okay, even if what you say makes sense, but can Germany be at the mercy of the island army, you know, even if the Soviets take the initiative to abandon the Trans-Siberian Railway, to ensure that this thousands of kilometers of railway is unblocked, the German army has to invest a huge number, if you still have to divide weapons and troops to support the island army, their momentum to continue the offensive will inevitably be restricted, now they have captured Moscow, if they concentrate their forces to defeat Stalingrad and Leningrad, the Soviet Union will have perished ideologically, At this critical moment, can they divide their forces to help the island nation and watch the opportunity to kill the Soviet Union slip away? ”

Jiang Haoran said: "The German army knows very well, the Italian army is muddy and can't get on the wall, to complete their hegemony, they are indispensable to the island army this hound, once this hound is cut off by us, the rear of the Soviet Union is not safe, we will immediately send troops to the Far East, the squadron is brave and good at fighting the German army naturally knows, plus our endless variety of new weapons will inevitably make them frightened." At the same time, the German army is also very clear that the Soviet Union has a lot of land and resources, even if they occupy the Soviet Union ideologically, all kinds of resistance forces will inevitably spring up everywhere, just like the current three eastern provinces, the island army has been operating for more than ten years, and it is still not fully controlled, a current situation of civil strife, coupled with the fact that China, Mi, Britain and other allies are flocking to the front, internal and external troubles will make the German army anxious, not to mention, it is still difficult for them to hold the Soviet Union, so they must leave the island army as a hound to watch their back gate, Give them time to digest the Soviet Union, even if it is worth the price and sacrifice in the immediate future. ”

Jiang Haoran's words made everyone present unable to refute, and the scene fell into silence, everyone knows how much pressure China will face once these become a reality, the heavy and depressing atmosphere spread in an instant, and the entire command headquarters has also quieted down, this controversy here has already alarmed everyone in the headquarters, and everyone has consciously or unconsciously gathered around, so they all know what happened.

After a long time, Bai Chongxi broke the silence and said: "If all this is true, then the assistance of the German army is already on the way at this time, if it enters China and passes through the South Manchurian Railway, it will soon enter Pingjin, that is to say, if the island army in the Xuzhou battlefield can successfully retreat to the north bank of the Yellow River, they will immediately be able to equip the army with German weapons, so they decisively threw down these rags, and everything is just to leave these hundreds of thousands of soldiers." ”

Jiang Haoran replied: "Yes, that's the reason, these hundreds of thousands of soldiers are the most elite troops in front of the island army, and the soldiers are veterans who have been rampant on the Chinese battlefield for many years, so they would rather sacrifice weapons to ensure their thoroughness, if I guess correctly, the island army will immediately send a large number of transport ships into Lianyungang, and the first batch to be transported away is the 12th Army of the island army, including the 2nd Guards Division, the most elite of the island army, and their landing site will be on the north bank of the Yellow River, all used to build the Yellow River defense line." ”

The command headquarters suddenly exclaimed, from Xuzhou to Lianyungang is only more than 200 kilometers, the island army can reach it in four days at most, if there is a train in front, it will be faster, although there are tanks and helicopters chasing along the road, but the enemy must blow up the highway bridges along the way, and then arrange mines to obstruct it, how to calculate that four days can not eliminate the devil more than 100,000 horses, if they let them rush to the front of the Yellow River defense line, plus German weapons and equipment, that in ** At most, the team's ambition to recover the territory will stop at the Yellow River, and perhaps the Yellow River will be the starting point for the next round of attacks of the island army, if the German army also steps into the Chinese battlefield.

"Haoran, what should we do now?" Chen Chen walked out of the crowd and shouted.

"What should I do?" Jiang Haoran said fiercely: "Then don't leave any of them, the three army veters on the south bank of the Yellow River will all be eaten, and the forty-second army veters in Shanxi will not let them go." ”

Jiang Haoran walked to the war room as he spoke, and a group of staff officers and generals also hurriedly followed, Jiang Haoran walked directly to the combat sand table and picked up the command pole, turned around and found Li Zongjian and said: "President, this time I want to add a little task to Li Pinxian's Eleventh Army, do you have no opinion?" ”

Li Zongjian's face turned red, knowing that Jiang Haoran still remembered the affairs of the 21st Group Army, and immediately said: "Ziqian, look at what you said, they are all the troops of the party-state, and it is the duty of a soldier to drive out thieves, how can I have an opinion?" ”

Jiang Haoran said: "Okay, I'll assign the task......"

Jiang Haoran waved the command pole as he spoke, talking and practicing on the sand table.

In view of contingencies, the deployment of forces will be readjusted.

The most important thing is the east road, Xu Junyao's second tank division and Su Peng's new third division were transferred to the north road, and Yang Changshun's third tank division pursued the 10th Army of the island army with all their might, and it was going to reach the city of Jinan within four days, which was faster than the retreat of the 1st Army of the island army from Heze and Yuncheng.

A brigade was drawn from the special operations division to form an airborne unit, which quickly landed in Lianyungang, built a defensive line to block the enemy's retreat before the island army arrived, and forced them to enter Shandong via Yimeng Mountain.

At the same time, Han Deqin's unit was ordered to immediately set out from Chuzhou and go directly to Lianyungang via Huai'an, so as to strengthen the defensive task of the airborne brigade of the special operations division.

Although Chuzhou to Lianyungang is dozens of kilometers farther than from Xuzhou to Lianyungang, Han Deqin's department has been operating in southern Jiangsu for many years, and Huai'an and Yancheng still have his remaining troops, which can allow them to form a forward to reinforce first, and with the fierceness of the special operations division, coupled with a large amount of air fire support, it is completely able to block the enemy's retreat before the arrival of the large army.

The pursuit of the eastern road fell to Li Pinxian's Eleventh Army, and when the enemy entered Yimeng Mountain, this tank was redundant and could only rely on infantry.

Of course, this point of strength is obviously not enough to deal with several divisions of the enemy, so three divisions of the Eighth Route Army (including one column) were transferred from the west road to supplement, and the Eighth Route Army was obviously better at mountain warfare and guerrilla warfare.

Once the tactical goal of forcing the little devil to go to Yimeng was achieved, Han Deqin's 43rd Group Army naturally became the third echelon of the pursuit force.
