"Which of these people here didn't turn out their own family wealth for the battle in Xuzhou? ! Now the 600,000 army is gathered in Xuzhou, just waiting to start a war with the little devil! We can't just sit here and watch, can we?! A somewhat anxious general couldn't help but say, "Sir Li, just give the order directly!" You are the commander-in-chief, how to fight this battle, we all listen to you! ”

"That's right! Commander-in-chief, you just give the order! ”

"We all listen to you! If you say how to fight, we will fight! ”

Hearing this, other generals also echoed their words.

They have a lot of trust in Li Zongren.

Since the Battle of Xuzhou began, they have seen what Li Zongren has done, and they have to say that they admire it in their hearts!

These people are all troops from all over the country who came to participate in the battle, and their weapons and equipment and combat effectiveness are uneven, but Li Zongren insisted on commanding these troops to fight on a par with the little devils, and there was even a possibility of victory!

How is this not their admiration?

You must know that when the Battle of Songhu was at the beginning, the Central Army invested so many people, didn't it still have the power to parry when facing the little devils, and finally retreated in embarrassment?

What kind of equipment is that, and what kind of equipment are they!

Although they don't want to admit it, they themselves know that the combat effectiveness of their troops is much weaker than that of the Central Army, and when the Battle of Xuzhou began, everyone thought it would be a bad battle, but the result was beyond everyone's expectations!

Under the command of Li Zongren, their group of miscellaneous troops actually resisted the attack of the little devils, and also counterattacked the Japanese army many times, but killed many little devils!

This result, while shocking the big teeth, also made them have some admiration and trust for Li Zongren!

If someone else commanded their troops, they might still be unconvinced, but Li Zongren commanded, they had nothing else, they were convinced, they agreed!

Everyone looked at Li Zongren with blazing eyes, waiting for him to issue a combat mission.

Seeing their gaze, Li Zongren felt a strong trust and strong fighting spirit from their gaze, and he couldn't help but feel some emotion in his heart.

Although some of these people have done some wrong things, have little culture, and may have bullied the common people in their own localities, when it really comes to the moment of national crisis, they are brave enough to stand up and take on the responsibility of defending their homes and defending the country.

Among them, the one that Li Zongren admires the most belongs to the Sichuan Army!

When the little devils had not invaded yet, warlords from all over the Republic of China were fighting, and the most fierce one was Shuchuan, because of their unique geographical location, they were congenitally more xenophobic, so they could fight by themselves behind closed doors, no matter how fierce they were, they didn't have to worry about outsiders taking advantage.

Therefore, in this case, they can decide the winner!

But no one thought that after the Japanese army launched the war of aggression against China, the first to stand up and declare war on Japan and go to the battlefield was the Sichuan army!

At that time, Liu Xiang and Yang Sen, who were notorious for fighting in the civil war, took the initiative to shake hands and make peace, put aside personal grievances, and went out of Sichuan to resist the Japanese together after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War.

Chairman Chiang once held a military meeting to discuss whether to fight or make peace with the Japanese army, but the various warlords and bigwigs at the meeting were all fighting each other, and no one wanted to have more supplies for themselves. Anyway, our Sichuan army absolutely supports the War of Resistance! In order to support the Anti-Japanese War, my Shuchuan can produce 8 million quintals of grain and more than 4 million strong men! ”

As soon as these words came out, they shocked the four seats!

At that time, the warlords and bigwigs present bowed their heads in shame after hearing this.

At this time, for the Battle of Xuzhou, the Sichuan Army, which had suffered heavy losses in the Central Plains War, rushed to Xuzhou non-stop and fought with the little devils again. ”

Not to mention anything else, this alone is worthy of Li Zongren's admiration!

Facing their gaze, Li Zongren thought to himself: The Republic of China has such a group of warriors, why can't you drive away the Japanese army! Why worry that the War of Resistance cannot be won! Why worry that there is no way out for the Republic of China!

Thinking of this, Li Zongren took a deep breath, dispelled all these emotions in his mind, and then walked to a wall, opened the curtain, and revealed a huge map hanging on the wall, which was the map of the Republic of China!

Seeing this, the generals present knew that the commander-in-chief was about to start analyzing the battle situation and preparing to designate a battle plan.

Li Zongren walked to the map and said with a smile: "The purpose of the little devil and us in launching this battle of Xuzhou is to carry out a north-south attack, flank the main force of our Republic of China, and destroy our living forces as much as possible, and at the same time make their North China and Central China Front armies together!" ”

"The strategic intentions of the Japanese army are here, and his wolf ambitions are naturally self-evident! After the capture of Teng County, the body army will definitely not give up, and will definitely take advantage of the victory to pursue, they will definitely choose the most suitable place to fight our army! ”

"On the other hand, the fifth division of the Japanese army has taken Linyi at this time, they must continue to go south, and after going south, they will inevitably converge with the tenth division, once they meet, please see, if the two forces want to converge and fight a decisive battle with our army, they will inevitably take the initiative to come to the door!"

"At that time, there will inevitably be a large-scale battle between the two sides!"

"The little devil wants to fight us to the death, but as everyone knows, we also have the same idea!" Li Zongren said: "In order to resist the attack of the Japanese army, and at the same time to dampen the spirit of the Japanese army and smash the conspiracy of the Japanese army, after the discussion of the Fifth Theater General Staff, we decided to fight to the death with the little devils in this place!" ”

While speaking, Li Zongren took the baton and pointed it a certain point on a map!

Everyone took a closer look, and it was Taierzhuang!

Seeing this place, the generals present couldn't help but nod.

Considering the topography and various reasons in various places, plus after the fall from Teng County, in the Xuzhou area, the most suitable place for large-scale battles is only this Taierzhuang!

The Fifth War Zone had long expected this, so when the defense of Tengxian County was still underway, the Fifth War Zone had already mobilized heavy troops to the Taierzhuang area one after another!

For the day, it is the day of the decisive battle!

"Yes, there is! Just have a real fight with the little devil in Taierzhuang! ”

As if to say it to everyone, and as if it was half of it for himself, Li Zongren once again pointed to Taierzhuang and emphasized a sentence!
