Zhang Cheng had just finished his work, and Zhao Ziqing hurriedly ran to Zhang Cheng and said, "Master!" Luo Shujia, the commander of the 199th Division, is already waiting for you in the headquarters! ”

Zhang Cheng looked at Zhao Ziqing and said, "Why is he here!" I'll go over it. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Zhang Cheng returned to the command headquarters. Seeing Luo Shujia standing in front of the map and looking at the map on the wall, Zhang Cheng said with a smile: "Master Luo has arrived, Zhang has lost his welcome, and he still looks at Haihan!" ”

Hearing Zhang Cheng's voice, Luo Shujia immediately turned around, greeted him with a smile and said: "The prestige of Division Commander Zhang, Luo has heard about it for a long time, this time our two divisions work together to defend Hefei, thank you Division Commander Zhang for your assistance, yesterday the two wings of the devils attacked in the direction of Chaohu, and Commander Xu asked me to bring a regiment of brothers to support you!" ”

Zhang Cheng shook his head and said with a smile: "Division Commander Luo is a famous general of the national army, and I, Zhang Cheng, am just a fledgling boy, how dare I teach you Division Commander Luo in terms of tactics?" We don't use this set of vain between us! Saying that, Zhang Cheng pulled Luo Shujia to his defense map and said: "This is some of my ideas for the defense of Chaohu Lake and Hefei, and I also ask Master Luo for more advice!" ”

When Luo Shujia heard Zhang Cheng's words, he looked at it seriously with Chief of Staff Wang Qingming. After looking at it for a while, Wang Qingming opened his mouth and said: "Division Commander Zhang, you are ready to give up the outer positions and retreat to the city, aren't you afraid of the heavy artillery and planes of the little devils?!" Hearing Wang Qingming's words, Luo Shujia also raised his head and looked at Zhang Cheng, hoping to get an explanation!

Zhang Cheng looked at Luo Shujia and Wang Qingming, and asked with a smile: "Chief of Staff Zhao, I want to ask, if according to your intentions, relying on the city wall to defend the outside of the city, if the Japanese army uses aircraft, heavy artillery and tanks to forcibly attack the city, how long can your troops hold out?!" Is it one day, or is it two?! What happens after the city is broken?! ”

When Wang Qingming heard Zhang Cheng's words, he was speechless. Luo Shujia, who was on the side, heard the meaning of Zhang Cheng's words and asked, "Master Zhang, what do you mean?" Zhang Cheng smiled and replied: "I have asked the troops and sappers to renovate the buildings in the city, and now the fortifications on the ground have been basically completed, and they are almost underground!" And I will not give up the peripheral fortifications that Chief of Staff Zhao said! Saying that, Zhang Cheng pointed to the defense map and said: "On the highway and the small road that the Japanese army must pass, I will lay mines in a large area in a fan shape to slow down the Japanese army's offensive speed and make them mechanized and unable to deploy." By the time they got to the city, I had planted hundreds of kilograms of explosives under the walls, what would happen if they exploded?! ”

Without waiting for Zhang Cheng to finish speaking, Wang Qingming said in surprise: "This is really unimaginable!" Hearing Wang Qingming's words, Luo Shujia looked at Zhang Cheng with a puzzled expression and said, "Master Zhang, do you want to fight the devil in Chaohu?" ”

Zhang Cheng nodded and said: "Division Commander Luo, I know that your department is known as a division, but in fact there are only about 4,000 people, and the 48th Division is also a unit that is not satisfied with the formation, this time I am going to attract the devil to Chaohu Lake and make Chaohu Lake become the grave of the devil." I have already transferred the people in Chaohu City. ”

Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Luo Shujia said excitedly: "I, Luo Shujia, have led my troops to resist the Japanese until now, and I have never encountered a central army like Xiang Zhang!" Without waiting for Luo Shujia to finish speaking, Zhang Cheng stopped: "Okay! Commander Luo doesn't need to say anything else, if I can leave the devil in Chaohu, then Hefei can hold it, if it fails, I hope that Master Luo, you can transfer the people to the west in advance! ”

"Yes!" Saying that, Luo Shujia said to Chief of Staff Wang Qingming: "Pass my order, the second regiment will return to Hefei immediately and prepare for defense!" ”

When Chief of Staff Wang Qingming heard Luo Shujia's words, he nodded and walked out of the command headquarters to convey his division commander's orders.

Luo Shujia, who was beside Zhang Cheng, heard Zhang Cheng's words, and said with a happy smile: "Master Zhang, I, Luo Shujia, have finally convinced you!" Looking at the fortifications you designed, if it were me, I wouldn't have thought of it at all! Without waiting for Luo Shujia to finish speaking, Zhao Ziqing walked up to Zhang Cheng with a telegram and said, "Division, the reconnaissance unit is in a hurry!" ”

When Zhang Cheng heard Zhao Ziqing's words, he took the telegram and looked at it seriously and said, "Call back!" Let them continue to monitor, find a small force of the Japanese army, and annihilate it immediately! ”

"Yes!" Saying that, Zhao Ziqing turned around and left. After Zhao Ziqing left, Luo Shujia couldn't help but ask, "What happened to Master Zhang?!" Zhang Cheng sighed and said, "The speed of the two wings of the little devil is faster than I imagined!" If nothing else, Shiro Inaba, the sixth division of the little devil, will come over! That is, in the evening of this day, the little Japanese soldiers will arrive at the predetermined positions! ”

While Zhang Cheng was analyzing the movements of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army, in the war room of the 5th Theater Commander's Headquarters, Li Zongren stood in front of the map and listened to the analysis of his staff officers. After listening, Bai Chongxi said: "Delin, if Zhang Cheng commands the new 1st Division and the 26th Group Army to fight well in Hefei, it is very likely that the 6th Division of the Japanese Army will give up attacking Taierzhuang, but directly seek revenge on Zhang Cheng, and then this battle will be lively!" ”

Hearing Bai Chongxi's analysis, Li Zongren looked at the map and nodded and said: "Your analysis is completely possible, don't underestimate this Zhang Cheng, if you really defend according to his plan, the Sixth Division is very likely to be wiped out in Chaohu!" ”

"If the 6th Division of the Japanese Army is wiped out by Zhang Chengxin's 1st Division, then the Battle of Xuzhou is very likely to end in a defeat for the Japanese army!" Saying that, Bai Chongxi picked up the teacup on the side, took a sip of water, and said lightly: "Delin, I think you are more generous, and add another batch of ammunition to the new 1st Division and the 199th Division, so that they can be more confident!" ”

Li Zongren thought for a while and nodded and said to the staff officer beside him: "Staff Officer Cheng, immediately take my warrant and transfer a batch of medicines, 1 million rounds of bullets, 40,000 grenades, 10 mortars and 1,000 shells and 5,000 kilograms of explosives, and send them to Hefei!" ”

Bai Chongxi heard Li Zongren's words, smiled and said: "This time Zhang Cheng will become famous in a fight, when the time comes, do you leave him behind," Li Zongren said lightly: "He is from Huangpu, do you think he can be brought to his side, are you talking about Lao Jiang can let go?" This is a time of crisis for China, so I don't want to worry about it now! ”

Just when Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi were talking about Chaohu, He Yingqin walked into President Jiang's office and said: "Commission, I just got the news from the Fifth War Zone, Zhang Cheng is preparing to fight a decisive battle with the Japanese Sixth Division in Chaohu with more than 20,000 people from the newly formed First Division!" ”

"What?" When President Jiang heard He Yingqin's words, he suddenly jumped up, walked to the map, looked at the map and asked, "Jingzhi, Zhang Cheng has more than 20,000 people, how sure do you say?!" He Yingqin shook his head and said: "Zhang Cheng's command of the battle is full of tricks, and it is impossible to fathom at all, and it is difficult to make a judgment on his humble position!" ”

When President Jiang heard He Yingqin's words, he thought for a while and said: "If Zhang Cheng can completely annihilate the Sixth Division of the Japanese Army in Chaohu this time, or a department, I will promote him to be the commander!" ”

He Yingqin heard President Jiang's words, thought for a while and said, "Commission!" Chaohu Lake is the gateway of Hefei, and Hefei is the gateway of Wuhan! I wonder if you should strengthen the defenses there? Without waiting for He Yingqin to finish speaking, President Jiang thought for a while and said: "Immediately send a telegram to Zhang Cheng to ask him about his arming situation, what is needed!" ”

"Yes! Go now! After speaking, He Yingqin quickly walked out of President Jiang's office. After He Yingqin left, President Jiang suddenly remembered Zhang Cheng's defense plan some time ago, so President Jiang hurriedly took Zhang Cheng's defense plan out of the drawer of his desk and looked at it carefully.

More than ten minutes later, Zhang Cheng received a telegram of inquiry from He Yingqin, Zhang Cheng said to Zhao Ziqing: "Call back, our department will do its best to defend Chaohu, and we will not let the Japanese Sixth Division cross Chaohu Lake until the last soldier!" After speaking, Zhang Cheng quickly signed the message.

As soon as he finished signing, Liu Lifeng walked up to Zhang Cheng with a smile with the telegram he had just received from the Fifth War Zone Commander's Department and said, "Master sit, this time Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi have spent a lot of money!" Saying that, Liu Lifeng handed the telegram to Zhang Cheng. Zhang Cheng took the telegram, looked at it seriously, and said, "Ammunition, let Commander Luo stay in Hefei!" I was worried about their lack of ammunition! ”

Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Liu Lifeng said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about this!" Lao He has already sent someone to transport some of the weapons we replaced to them! When Zhang Cheng heard Liu Lifeng's words, he immediately said: "Inform Lao He that the AK-47 submachine guns shipped back from the United States will be sent to the guard companies of all units immediately to strengthen their firepower!" ”

"Yes! I'll do it right away! Saying that, Liu Lifeng walked to Zhang Cheng's side and said, "Master sit, I think you know about Miss Zhao!" In fact, she has always liked you in her heart! "When did Zhang Chengden glance at Liu Lifeng, you are still thinking about this.

Looking at the back of Zhang Cheng leaving, Liu Lifeng laughed twice and walked out of the command center. At the same time, He Yingqin, who received Zhang Cheng's callback, immediately walked into President Jiang's office with Zhang Cheng's callback, and said seriously: "Commission, Zhang Cheng calls back, he is ready to defend Chaohu Lake at all costs!" Saying that, He Yingqin handed Zhang Cheng's reply to President Jiang.

After President Jiang took the telegram and looked at it, he pushed Zhang Cheng's defense plan on the table to He Yingqin and said, "Take a look!" I didn't pay attention at the time, just now when you talked about Chaohu, I suddenly remembered this defense plan that Zhang Cheng gave me! Hearing President Jiang's words, He Yingqin quickly took the defense plan and looked at it seriously.

Looking at He Yingqin, he couldn't help but exclaim: "It's so bold!" This defense plan fully gave full play to the advantages of our army, and it seems that the sixth division of the Japanese army this time is more than lucky! When President Jiang heard He Yingqin's words, his originally frowning brows slowly relaxed, and he asked with a smile: "Jingzhi, how feasible do you think Zhang Cheng's defense plan is?!" ”

He Yingqin thought for a while and said, "Commission!" I don't dare to say 100 percent of this plan, but at least 90 percent of it is! When President Jiang heard He Yingqin's words, he couldn't help but hit his palm with his fist and said, "Great! Saying that, President Jiang thought for a while and said, "Jingzhi, you accompany me to Wuhan once!" I'm going to wait there for news of Zhang Cheng's victory! ”

"Yes! Prepare immediately! After speaking, He Yingqin quickly walked out of President Jiang's office.
