However, in this case, we should cross the river immediately. Qb(5), COM\"X After half a ring, Masai Yoshicai spoke: "The Chinese army besieging Jining is at its weakest, and once we cross the river, we can fight with ......,......"

"Didn't cross the river......" Yusue Seizan was extremely resolute, and interrupted him without waiting for Yoshito Masai to finish speaking: "General Matsui Shigen is not ready, only our three divisions will not be able to save Jining, you must be clear, the three divisions here are our counteroffensive forces, once consumed, the imperial army will no longer have a counterattack force on the Shandong battlefield!" "Have you crossed the river...... "Yuan Shan Deng asked abruptly. There is a last essence three stunned, I don't know what he means.

Toyama Noboru stared at Seisan Sue, and the corner of his eyes slanted at Yasuken Nakajima, who had not spoken, "He has realized that there is no new idea for Seisan to come here, but to carry out Yasan Nakajima's plan."

"Nakajima Daisa ordered Liaocheng and Chi to build Gonggu on an equal footing, what does this mean?" , Yuan Shan Deng asked.

There is no end Seizan who doesn't understand this situation" He looked at Nakajima Yasuken suspiciously, and Nakajima Yasuken slowly stood up: "Jining, Xuzhou, should have given up a long time ago, Commander Matsui Ishine made a big mistake, underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army, and overestimated the combat effectiveness of the imperial army.

Because the frontal force build-up could not be completed for a long time, the Chinese army saw through the purpose of our army, so they did not put tanks into the siege, they knew as well as we did, our army lacked anti-tank weapons, once the river was crossed, the Chinese army could lure our army to the south of Wenshang, and then use tanks to launch a counterattack against our army, due to the lack of frontal cooperation, the Chinese army could deal with us with all its strength.

What about our army? It was difficult for our army's offensive to achieve results once it was encircled on the south bank of the Yellow River, but the Yellow River intercepted the rear road of our army." At that time, in order to rescue our army, the frontal troops had to leave their existing positions without being prepared and fight a decisive battle with the Chinese army on the plain. The result is self-evident......"

On the contrary, if our army does not cross the river, "Jining and Xuzhou's insistence" to buy time for the Taishan defense line, the China Army will have to attack the Mount Tai defense line, and our army's threat to the China Army will increase exponentially, because of the existence of our army, the China Army will not dare to attack Mount Tai with all its might. So what's the best strategy for the Chinese army......"

With Nakajima's analysis, Toyama Noboru and Masai Yoshito's faces gradually softened, and at this moment, he heard his self-set question, "It's a little flustered, and Nakajima Yasuken continued to analyze: "That is, to attack our army first." The rugged mountain roads in the Taishan area are not conducive to the movement of mechanized troops, on the contrary, the "flat terrain" north of the Yellow River is suitable for tank combat, so I think that the general of China will throw tank troops north of the Yellow River.

"This has two major advantages: first, it can eliminate the rear route of the Chinese army attacking the Taishan defense line; Second, "if we break through our army, we can bypass the Taishan defense line from the north and attack Jinan." "In order to prevent this" I ordered the construction of fortifications in Liaocheng and other places: in addition, I drew up a battle plan "for the commander to review ......"

Nakajima Yasuken handed the document in front of him to Arisue Seizo with both hands, and Arisue Seizan who was still in shock came back to his senses and hurriedly took it, Toyama Noboru and Masai Yoshito were extremely surprised, Nakajima Yasuken's move was once again beyond their expectations, "You read it......" Arisue Seizan did not look at it, but changed hands to the staff officer Nakamura who really brought it, Nakamura opened it and began to read it out loud, "This plan is Nakajima Yasuken's entire concept of the Shandong operation."

At the beginning, it was almost the same as what Nakajima Kangjian just said, "but the back is much more detailed, according to Nakajima's plan, the troop configuration is as follows, the Shandong Twelfth Army will all stay in the Taishan defense line, abandon Jiaodong, and will lead the 2nd Division and the 1st Chariot Division to stay on the north bank of the Yellow River, and transfer two more divisions from the First Army to the Henan area to defend the Chinese troops to cross the river.

The focus of the Taishan defense line was on the area from Tai'an to Jinan, and "in the Zhongdao plan, the 59th Division and the 21st Mixed Brigade were all counted as for this", the 5th Mixed Brigade was to be placed in Laiwu, the 6th Mixed Brigade was to be placed in Yishui, and the Q Division and the 3rd Independent Mixed Brigade transferred from Shanxi should rush to Laiwu as soon as possible.

After the above deployment was completed, the Japanese army still lacked counterattack forces, and Nakajima suggested that two divisions should be transferred from Jiangnan and two divisions from Shanxi, and four divisions should form a counterattack force.

The counterattack first began on the north bank of the Yellow River, "the main force of the China Army is attacking Tai'an, and the north bank of the Yellow River is a partial division, and the strength will not be too much, as long as the China Jiangbei Army is broken", the initiative of the entire battlefield will fall into the hands of the Imperial Army: to defeat the Xiang China Army, it is first necessary to destroy their tanks, in view of the lack of anti-tank weapons in the Imperial Army, he decided to deploy all anti-aircraft artillery units in Liaocheng and Chiping.

The biggest difference between the troops returning from the Soviet-Mongolian battlefield and the others was the addition of an air defense brigade, which was equipped with 12 88-mm anti-aircraft guns imported from Germany. The three divisions have a total of 36 88-mm anti-aircraft guns, and this point of anti-aircraft guns is definitely not possible if they are evenly dispersed throughout the battlefield" Yasuken Nakajima personally inspected Liaocheng and Chiping, and deployed 12 of them in Chiping "The remaining 24 guns are deployed near Liaocheng" This plan, I will report to Commander Okamura, whether to approve the decision of the commander...... "After listening to it, Seizo did not make any comments, before coming, Okamura Ninji specially told him that he should pay attention to Nakajima Yasuken's opinion, although this person is arrogant and arrogant, But he's a talent, a great tactician.

Toyama Noboru and Masai Yoshito reluctantly left the command of Arisue Seizo, which was actually the headquarters of the Fifth Division, and went out of the grove" The two of them looked south in unison, their hearts were full of sorrow, and the nearly 30,000 imperial soldiers were still fighting in hopelessness.

"At three o'clock this afternoon, our army recovered Jining! In this battle, 7,300 Japanese soldiers were killed and 1,600 were captured, from the division commander Yasushi Sakai to the horseman, and no one escaped the net......"

After Hua Chun finished reading the war report, the reporters below erupted in cheers and applause, and Hua Chun showed a smug smile, he was the head of the reception office, and now he was also the temporary press spokesman, specially responsible for dealing with these reporters.

"Colonel, I have a question......

Hua Chun turned his head and saw that it was his old friend Weber, so he nodded, and Weber stood up: "Colonel, congratulations on another great victory, I want to know the situation in Yanzhou and Xuzhou."

"Yes, when will we be able to capture Xuzhou ......," another Chinese reporter also jumped up and asked excitedly.

"Defeat Xuzhou and avenge the compatriots in the Xuzhou tragedy!" "And Yanzhou!" Jinan ......"

Although the squadron has won many victories in recent years, let alone these reporters, almost all Chinese have no confidence in their hearts, whether they can defeat the Japanese army, whether the Battle of Northern Hubei is accidental or whether the squadron has the ability to defeat these murderous enemies.

The large-scale offensive launched by the Jiangnan Theater has not achieved any important results until now: what about the Jiangbei Theater? Conquering Bengbu, it is not significant, only by taking Xuzhou and Jining, which are heavily guarded by the enemy, can we prove that we are capable!

The conquest of Jining" made these Chinese journalists extremely excited.

Hua Chun stretched out his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and waited for two minutes before the reporters quieted down, Hua Chun glanced at the charming female reporter with a smile, and then said: "Our army has conquered the city, Yanzhou is just around the corner, as for Xuzhou, I inform you that the troops under the command of General Du Yuming have rushed into the city, and the resistance of the Japanese army is being crushed!" I think maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after tomorrow, "you can hear the news of the capture of Xuzhou......"

Weber had arrived in Shangqiu only two days earlier, and had left Burma before Yu Jishi had conquered Rangoon, and he was disgusted with the situation in Burma: "disgusted with the arrogance of the British, disgusted with the cunning of the Chinese, disgusted with the boredom of the Americans: he had long seen that if the allies worked together, the Japanese army in Burma could be easily eliminated, but it was the infighting of the allies that allowed the Japanese to withdraw from Burma completely, and before leaving Burma, he sent his newspaper his last report on the war in Southeast Asia: "The headline is One No War in Indochina."

After coming out of Burma, he spent some time in Yunnan and Guizhou, looked around the factories, and found that in just two years, the factories had expanded by two-thirds, and countless machine guns and cannons were pulled out of the factory and shipped to Wuhan every day. This surprised him very much, he did not know how the Chinese managed to fight and build under such difficult conditions, and step by step to achieve their goals.

Before he was surprised, Chen Cheng launched an attack in the south of the Yangtze River, "He immediately realized that the Jiangbei Theater must have a corresponding big move, he immediately set off from Guizhou, through Wuhan to Xuchang, to Xuchang only to know that Zhuang Jihua had gone to Shangqiu, at this time the Jiangbei Theater troops had already entered Jizong, so he hurried to Shangqiu, but because the Longhai line transportation was too tight, all the passenger cars were stopped, only trains and stuffy tankers to transport troops, after he got the pass, he waited for a whole day before convincing a captain to take their truck to Shangqiu.

In Shangqiu, he met some old friends, Foreman, Graeme, Bai Xiude, and Ye Sufei "Foreman, they arrived in Shangqiu no more than two days before Weber, and at first they stayed in Xuchang and listened to the war situation released by the Propaganda Department of the War Zone" Soon they found that something was wrong, and the shriveled words of the Propaganda Department could not meet their needs at all. So they applied for a pass to Shangqiu for an interview, and came to Shangqiu, along with a selection of Chinese reporters.

"Colonel, have you broken through the Xuzhou city defenses......" Foreman asked.

"Yes......" Hua Chun replied in an affirmative tone: "Our army rushed into the city of Xuzhou from the north gate and the south gate at the same time, and the resistance of the Japanese army is collapsing......

"What about Yanzhou......"

"The troops led by General Zhong Bin have approached Yanzhou, and the Japanese troops in the city are showing signs of evacuation." , Hua Chun's answer was very old-fashioned, and he named the general, but did not mention the number of the troops at all.
