That night, Nakajima led his troops to march northward, set up an ambush on the flat field south of Miao Bridge, and defeated the 11th Group Army in a hurry, the 11th Group Army collapsed in the sudden artillery fire and the sound of crazy horses' hooves, Wei Yunsong's descendant of the 31st Army 131st Division desperately blocked, the group army guard regiment opened a bloody road, covering the troops to break out of the encirclement, Wei Yunsong fled with the guards. The saber of the whole / Ben / Xiao / said / Wang Xueliang drove the panicked Chinese soldiers to flee in all directions, so that they could not stop and resist, and could only run for their lives.

"Phew, huh," through the cheering soldiers, Lucao pulled the war horse in front of Nakajima, inserted the bloodstained war knife into the sheath, jumped off the horse and saluted Nakajima uprightly, to this major general who was more than ten years younger than him, Lucao is now convinced: "Sir, we chased and killed the ** army for 20 miles, eliminated more than 2,000 people in the ** army, and completely defeated them." ”

Nakajima smiled a little reservedly, his military uniform was still neat, but the command knife was already unsheathed, blood flowed down the blade, and there was a headless corpse lying not far away. Behind him were the staff guards of the brigade, most of them covered in gunpowder smoke and with a little blood on their uniforms.

"Well done, Lucao-kun, I'll give you credit after the war!" Nakajima smiled solemnly and said that the victory in this battle will ease his situation, but it is only a relief, I just learned from the headless corpse that there is also an elite army of ** troops driving towards him, which is only two or three days away from here.

But that's enough.

After Lucao returned, Nakajima immediately collected his troops, and then led his troops to the southeast quickly, this time he did not disturb any villages along the way, but passed quickly.

The news of the defeat of the Eleventh Group Army reached Xuzhou three hours later, Zhuang Jihua, who was eating, was stunned for a moment, Gong Chugong embroidered and hurriedly woke up, Zhuang Jihua hurriedly pulled out the food in his mouth, and ran to the war room with his feet up.

In the war room, all the staff officers heard the news, and everyone had a very serious face, and they were already aware of the serious consequences of the defeat of the Eleventh Army.

"Have you informed Chief Bai of this?" Zhuang Jihua asked Yang Yuchun when he entered the door, and Yang Yuchun nodded and said: "The Xinyang Command and the Wuhan General Staff have been reported, and they have not yet received their reply." ”

"To Deputy Commander Li, commander-in-chief of the Southern Front, immediately detain Wei Yunsong, commander of the 31st Army, deputy commander of the 11th Group, and the deputy commander of the 31st Army will collect the troops and report to the theater command as soon as the containment is completed." Zhuang Jihua's face was pale, and his tone was full of murderous intent.

Gong Chu chuckled in his heart, Wei Yunsong was a cadre general of the Gui family, who had repeatedly made meritorious contributions in the civil war, and was a general relied on by Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi, he hurriedly said: "Commander, it is harmful and useless to kill the generals in battle, and it is recommended to let him make meritorious contributions." ”

Zhuang Jihua was furious, and he shouted loudly: "I am not fighting a civil war, but a national war, if the southern front collapses because of the defeat in this war, Wei Yunsong will die and will not redeem." If the rewards and punishments are not clear, how can the three armies serve their lives! I don't care about that system, there are no two words about winning and losing punishments! Tell Li Pinxian to set up a wartime military tribunal to try Wei Yunsong. Execute it immediately. ”

Gong Chu's face turned red, he admitted that Zhuang Jihua was right, but this is China, the current reality is that there is no complete national army, and local factions must be considered in operations and command, but seeing Zhuang Jihua's appearance, he knew that it would definitely not work to speak out and advise, so he changed the way: "Commander, the punishment of a deputy commander of a group army must be reported to Chief Bai and the chairman of the committee, and the theater command only has the right to detain." ”

"Then report it, I don't believe that Bai Chongxi dares to protect his shortcomings like this." Zhuang Jihua said angrily that he didn't want to be entangled in this, but according to military regulations, Gong Chu's words were not unreasonable, Zhuang Jihua really had no right to dispose of the generals at the level of deputy commander of the group army, which was also the reason why Tang Enbo dared to face the hard top, and the kind of pull out on the TV series could only be aimed at low-level officers.

"Tell me what you think." Zhuang Jihua turned his head and asked Yang Yuchun, and then without waiting for Yang Yuchun to answer, he turned his head to look at the map, carefully looking at Nakajima's movement track. Looking at the map, he gradually calmed down.

"We judge that Nakajima Health will go south to the Nantuo River again and forcibly cross the Nantuo River to attack the flank of our army." Yang Yuchun said.

"And where will he cross the river?" Zhuang Jihua pondered and asked, after the defeat of the Eleventh Group Army, the only force south of Yongcheng that could be used for interception was Lu Daoyuan's division, and it was almost impossible to defend such a long front.

Yang Yuchun's face turned pale, their original judgment was that Nakajima would go south by the same route, but Zhuang Jihua's meaning was obvious, Nakashima would not go south by the same route, if it did not go south by the same route, then the problem would be complicated.

"I heard that you are an expert in guerrilla warfare, do you think Nakajima's style of play is somewhat similar to the Red Army," Zhuang Jihua asked thoughtfully, his eyes still fixed on Nakajima's trajectory, searching back and forth south of Yongcheng.

Not only was Yang Yuchun surprised, but even Gong Chu couldn't help but lean forward, and after looking at it carefully for a while, Gong Chu smiled bitterly: "The commander is right, it is somewhat similar to the Red Army, and the action is erratic, if you are negligent, you will pounce on you and bite you, and then immediately run away, this is indeed the tactics of the Red Army." ”

"But the tactics of the Red Army are in line with the policy, fighting local tyrants everywhere they go, dividing the fields, collecting supplies... But how can they replenish their weapons and ammunition? Yang Yuchun changed his words halfway through, he knew that he was wrong before, Nakajima didn't need a policy, but he had a gun, and he only needed to kill to collect supplies, but he didn't understand where the weapons and ammunition replenishment came from.

"It's very simple, he didn't actually fight many battles, Xinxiang didn't count, starting from forcibly crossing the Yellow River to Yongcheng, he actually only fought this battle, but his cavalry is afraid that the losses are not small." Zhuang Jihua said that after careful consideration, Nakajima Kangjian really didn't fight a few battles, but his cavalry ran for a long time, and even if he was not killed, he was tired and tired of many horses.

"Nakajima must be blocked." Zhuang Jihua muttered to himself, he didn't expect that the sudden appearance of a middle island, disrupting the deployment of the entire campaign, the 74th Army moved south, seriously weakened the attack on the north bank of the Yellow River, causing Xue Yue to delay in breaking through the Japanese defense, Lu Daoyuan went north to the Tuo River to intercept, and weakened the defense of the Huhe River, resulting in a comprehensive passivity of the southern front.

But where will Nakajima cross the river? No one dares to judge lightly.

"It is necessary to get in touch with Gu Shoufu, and to get in touch with Gu Shoufu, it is necessary to break through Deng Xihou and Lu Han in the middle, but now he is exhausted, the cavalry losses of the assault force have been very large, and there are few artillery shells left, so there is only the least cost to break through Lu Han or Deng Xihou. How to spend the least cost? ”

Zhuang Jihua muttered to himself, his eyes never left the map, although his voice was relatively low, but Yang Yuchun and Gong Chu heard it clearly, and their eyes were also searching on the map, this kind of judgment without any intelligence at all, can only be judged by military common sense and experience of the other party's actions.

After a while, Yang Yuchun suddenly spoke: "I understand, he won't force the Tuo River, he will attack Su County, it must be so, it must be Su County." ”

Zhuang Jihua turned to look at Yang Yuchun abruptly, his eyes were terrifying, and his face was terrifyingly pale: "What is the basis?" ”

"There is no basis," Yang Yuchun was also a little nervous: "We all focused on Gu Shoufu, thinking that Nakajima would go south to meet Gu Shoufu and open the road to Yongcheng, in fact, this is exactly what Nakajima wants us to judge like this, but if it were me, I would never go south, but go east, defeat Suxian, and then stay here, jam the throat of our army's southern line, cooperate with the Japanese army on the south bank of the Hun River to break through the front of Deputy Commander Li, and then go west with the 9th Division and the 13th Division to destroy the southern line in one fell swoop, and then the whole army will go north to Yongcheng." , only in this way will there be enough troops to close the road for our army's westward retreat. After finishing speaking, he added again: "If it were me, I would fight like this." ”

Zhuang Jihua thought about Yang Yuchun's words repeatedly, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible, he calculated that the distance between Zhongdao and Suxian was only more than 100 miles, and the forced march could be reached in one day and one night.

Cold sweat flowed down his back, Li Pinxian's southern front headquarters was located in Suxian, but due to the tight strength of the front, there was only one regiment of guard troops left around him.

"Immediately telegraph to Deputy Commander Li that Nakajima is very likely to advance eastward to attack Suxian, and immediately strengthen the garrison of Suxian." Zhuang Jihua thought about sending troops from there to reinforce Suxian, and only transferred troops from Xuzhou, but was there time?

"Call Liao Yaoxiang to come, and all wagons in Xuzhou will be levied immediately." Zhuang Jihua immediately decided that no matter whether he was in time or not, he must make efforts to transfer reinforcements to Suxian.

Liao Yaoxiang soon came to the headquarters, he did not go far, the new 22nd Division came back and stationed in Xuzhou City, took over the defense of Xuzhou, and his headquarters was located next to the theater headquarters.

"Liao Yaoxiang, you immediately lead your troops to reinforce Su County, remember to be careful, Su County is likely to be lost before you arrive, the radio station along the way is not allowed to be turned off, keep in touch with the theater command at any time, and inform you of the situation in Su County at any time." Zhuang Jihua said hurriedly.

Liao Yaoxiang was shocked in his heart, he had never seen Zhuang Jihua so anxious, and Su County was likely to be lost, which made him even more surprised, feeling the urgency of the battle situation, Liao Yaoxiang immediately replied: "Please rest assured, commander, if Su County is not lost, I promise to hold Su County, if it is lost, I will definitely take it back." ”

Zhuang Jihua looked at him and patted him on the shoulder: "Let's go, Su County, remember, Su County must be in our hands." ”

Liao Yaoxiang didn't talk nonsense, saluted, turned around and left.

When Liao Yaoxiang's figure disappeared outside the door, Zhuang Jihua turned to Gong Chu and said, "Send a telegram to Chief of Staff Xu." ”

The hospital is almost my home, and I go to report every day, and today I added a niece, and I spent most of the day in the obstetrics and gynecology department.
