Chapter 459: Lianyungang (6)
Nishio Shouzo's words are not flattering, but they are indeed a practical question. Yes, if the Eighth Route Army instructor gave the army a ruthless blow from behind when the army was in full swing in Wuhan, then the army might not be able to win the Battle of Wuhan, and it would be a loss of troops and a messy escape!
The topic is back to the beginning, which is how to deal with the instructor. Several people pondered and pondered, but they still couldn't get around this problem. In the end, it was Prince Zairen of Xianyuan Palace who made the final decision and used Xuzhou as a bait to lure the instructor of the Eighth Route Army to attack Xuzhou. If Liu Yimin is not fooled and retreats to Shandong, he will besiege him in the area south of Jiaoji Road, east of Jinpu Road, and north of Longhai Road, and then mobilize a large army to encircle and suppress him, at least to break up Liu Yimin's main force, so that he cannot form a powerful assault group, and can only disperse guerrillas. If Liu Yimin did not withdraw to Shandong, but flowed southward and threatened the Yangtze River defense line, then concentrate the forces of no less than ten main divisions and regiments, pursue them relentlessly, and even if they could not completely eliminate Liu Yiming's cooking force, they would drive them westward and let them fight for territory with Chiang Kai-shek's political axe army. As long as this goal is achieved, it is possible to concentrate on launching the Battle of Wuhan.
According to this line of thinking, several old devils carefully planned for a long time, and even discussed the time of the Tada Jun group's capture of Lianyungang, the landing point, where the Dongjuer Palace Tsuroko King group would assemble, and the urgent financing of logistics supplies.
In order to ensure the elimination of the main force of the Eighth Route Army instructor and the smooth launch of the Battle of Wuhan, several old devils agreed that in addition to the Jiaodong Corps continuing to step up the siege of the Jiaodong troops of the Eighth Route Army, the newly formed garrison of the base camp had already arrived in North China and Central China, and it was necessary to quickly receive a visit; Those who have not yet arrived should be quickly transported to their respective destinations, and the garrison divisions and regiments should be vacated as the second-line support units of the permanent divisions and regiments, and the Manchurian Defense Forces in North China should be transferred south to the Xuzhou front line to cooperate with the imperial army in combat. Troops were transferred from the Taiwan Army to strengthen the Central China Front, and graduates of various aviation schools in China graduated ahead of schedule, quickly replenishing the war losses of the North China Front Air Group. All aviation schools should expand the scale of enrollment and arsenals should speed up the pace of production to meet the needs of the front. It is also necessary to organize forces to repair the anxious railway and the eastern section of the Longhai Railway as soon as possible, and to transfer locomotives from the mainland to North China to resume railway operation.
On the question of the choice of the commander-in-chief of the campaign, since Terauchi Shouichi went to Germany, Prince Zaihito of the Kanin Palace directly decided that Shunroku Hatata, commander of the Central China Front, would be in charge.
As for the question of whether the 10th and 6th Divisions can hold Xuzhou, Prince Zairen of Xianyuan Palace made it very clear that Xuzhou must not be lost, and if Xuzhou is lost, the empire will lose face in the international community and will be looked down upon by Germany and other allies. The 106th Division has to defend it, and if it can't hold it, it has to defend it, and it will not hesitate to fight to the last soldier, and it will use blood to maintain the dignity of the army. At the same time, all military and civilian transport planes of the Great Empire were mobilized, officers were urgently transferred from the Army Non-commissioned Officer School, and reserve soldiers were urgently recruited from Kyoto to be airlifted to Xuzhou to replenish the troops of the 116th Division and consolidate the city defense of Xuzhou. The 35th Division, which was originally going to be transferred to southeast Lu, was mixed into the 5th Brigade and Readpower, and temporarily changed its direction. The 35th Division was transported to Yanzhou to take over the defense of the 114th Division. The 114th Division and the 5th Brigade were transported to the front line of Taierzhuang in northern Xuzhou to support the Xuzhou garrison.
After the major event was decided, Prince Zaihito of the Imperial Palace of Xianyuan ordered to immediately send a report to the commander of the Central China Front, Shunroku Hatata, ordering him to consider the encirclement and suppression of the main force of the Eighth Route Army and the capture of Wuhan, and to cooperate with the navy to quickly launch the Battle of Wuhan after eliminating or severely invading the Eighth Route Army instructor.
After the deployment, Prince Zairen of Xianyuan Palace was still not at ease, and designated Nishio Shouzo to immediately fly to Xuzhou secretly, and in the name of the base camp liaison group, he sat in Xuzhou to command the defense of Xuzhou and ensure the safety of Xuzhou.
Nishio Shouzo couldn't imagine that he would go back to the battlefield so quickly. However, he is a professional soldier and knows that Xuzhou really needs a big man to sit in charge, but he was driven out of the Second Army as a sacrifice, so he was unwilling to go back so unexplained, and he opened his mouth and asked: "Your Royal Highness, can I return to office after holding Xuzhou?" ”
Although Prince Zairen of Xianyuan Palace is an old bastard, he has a precise mind, knows Nishio Shouzo's thoughts, touches his gray beard, and thinks for a long time before saying: "Your task is to guard Xuzhou, and the itinerary must be kept secret." Once Xuzhou is stable, you can come back and continue to be your Director of Education. ”
Nishio Shouzo was extremely disappointed in his heart, but he said, "Thank you, Your Royal Highness." However, this matter will continue to be reported to His Majesty the Emperor, right? ”
Prince Zaihito of the Idle Palace pondered for a moment and said, "You leave immediately, and I will invite His Majesty the Emperor to see you." ”
The most disappointed among these people is Kazuki Qingsi, he wants to have the opportunity to take charge of the army again, but unfortunately compared with Nishio Shouzo, he has one more disobedience, so he had a bad idea in vain, and in the end he was still thrown aside by Prince Zaihito of the Idle Courtyard Palace. Therefore, Xiangyue Qingsi muttered unwillingly: "It seems that I really should transfer to the reserves." ”
No one paid attention to Xiangyue Qingsi's words, because the war situation was urgent, and several old devils were busy doing their own things, and no one would pay attention to Xiangyue Qingsi, an unlucky bastard.
The army base camp was plotting intensively, and Liu Yimin was not idle.
After Shimizu Kishige led the regimental headquarters of the 116th Division, the chariot squadron, the cavalry brigade, and some soldiers of the artillery wing to Xuzhou City, all the units of the 130th Brigade of the Chinese Army fell into the encirclement of the Eighth Route Army. Although these devils are divided and surrounded, it does not mean that they have laid down their arms. The devil soldiers who are dying show a cruel and murderous surname, and they will not retreat from the battle. When the Eighth Route Army completely annihilates them, the sky will already be clear.
Overnight, Lianyungang was conquered and the main force of the 116th Division was eliminated, and everyone in the instructor had a happy look on their faces.
Liu Yimin did not know the deployment of the base camp of the Yue Army, but he had his own battle plan. Naturally, he will not do anything about attacking Xuzhou for the time being, because the heavy army group of the Yue army is in Shandong, and he will soon rush to the front line of Xuzhou, and it is not Liu Yimin's style to fight with the Yue army in Xuzhou. The army is still strong, and all the main forces of the instructors are pressed to fight with the army, not to mention that Liu Yimin will not think about it, and the central government and the headquarters will not agree.
In the instructor's department of the county government axe compound in Pixian County, Liu Yimin sent a telegram to the headquarters and the central government. Originally, he should have reported the victory to Chiang Kai-shek, but since Ni Hua left, Liu Yimin's bad feelings for Chiang Kai-shek and his wife have doubled, and the matter of reporting the victory has been omitted.
After sending the good news, Liu Yimin ordered the Second Brigade, the Southwest Lu Garrison Brigade, and the Garrison Brigade to fully supply in Lianyungang, and the rest of the materials were quickly transported to the baggage regiment. Liu Jianli commanded three brigades to march in unison, quickly moving south, capturing the Yanfu area and the Huai'an area, and directing the troops along the Yangtze River. The cavalry brigade was ordered to capture Suqian and march to northern Anhui, to join forces with the four detachments of the New Fourth Army, and to supply the New Fourth Army with weapons, ammunition, and medicine.
Subsequently, Liu Yimin ordered the establishment of the Eighth Route Army's Northern Jiangsu Detachment to lead the anti-Japanese struggle in all counties in northern Jiangsu in a unified manner, appointed Zhang Jingwu, a tutor and deputy chief of staff of the Shandong Military Region, as commander of the Northern Jiangsu Detachment, and Li Congmin, director of the Political Department of the Second Brigade, as the political commissar of the Northern Jiangsu Detachment, and assigned one battalion each from the First Brigade, the Second Brigade, the Third Brigade, the Fourth Brigade, and the Eighth Brigade, as well as the Cavalry Brigade and the Artillery Brigade, and one company from the Engineer Regiment, the Heavy Machine Gun Regiment, and the Air Defense Brigade to be incorporated into the Lianyun Detachment.
After issuing the order, Liu Yimin met with Zhang Jingwu, Li Congmin, and the cadres of various battalions and companies, and asked them to form a county as soon as possible to resist the Ming Cooking Political Axe, and to produce Chengren members of the Anti-Ming Cooking Political Axe Group through the Ming Cooking Election Method.
Liu Yimin told Zhang Jingwu and Li Congmin that the northern Jiangsu region was an area that the army would inevitably occupy for a long time, and the situation of struggle was harsh. After the main force of our army withdraws to Shandong, the army will inevitably sweep frantically, and in the short term, the northern Jiangsu detachment can withdraw to Shandong or go south to the Soviet Union and China to carry out guerrilla warfare. After the heavy army group of the Yue army moves west or south, Lianyungang will also become an important port supply base for the army, and the army will also repair the eastern section of Longhai Road as soon as possible, and restore the transportation of Longhai Road and Jinpu Road. The reason why they were transferred to the detachment in northern Jiangsu was that the detachment in northern Jiangsu would become the mainstay of the resistance in northern Jiangsu, cooperate with the New Fourth Army, gallop across northern Jiangsu and central Jiangsu, and continue to develop and expand the troops. Generally speaking, the tasks of the detachment in northern Jiangsu are threefold: First, it has three tasks: First, it has to establish base areas and guerrilla armed forces; second, it has to expand the army; third, it has to compete with the Chinese army for heavy supplies, especially the supply materials of Lianyungang of the Chinese army, and from time to time it has to ambush its transport convoy; after the railway is opened, it will also have to hit trains from time to time, weapons, ammunition, grain, cotton, cloth, and whatever it takes, and the base areas will need it. In a word, it is to impoverish the Yue army and turn them into a flower army. Therefore, it was necessary to expand the Northern Soviet detachment into a brigade unit as soon as possible. After completing the task of expanding the number of troops, they can drive back to Shandong for training and change guards with other troops.
After Zhang Jingwu arrived in Shandong, he rarely communicated with Liu Yimin, and when he heard Liu Yimin say this, he muttered in his heart, why not leave a main brigade to develop in northern Jiangsu if the task is so heavy?
At this time, the atmosphere inside the tutor was very strong, and the cadres could tell the chief if they had any ideas, although Zhang Jingwu had not been here for a long time, he quickly integrated into the tutor family. He didn't hesitate to say what he thought.
Liu Yimin patiently told him that the army was eager to find the main force of the instructor for a decisive battle, and leaving the main brigade in northern Jiangsu at this time was tantamount to setting a target for the army, and the goal was too big. That is, the Second Brigade, the Luxi Garrison Brigade, and the Southwest Luxi Garrison Brigade were also feints to lure the enemy, and after completing the task, they all had to withdraw to Shandong. When the war situation develops for a while, the attention of the army has shifted, not to mention northern Jiangsu, even the Soviet Union and China will also send the main force to develop. For the time being, not only did the Second Brigade, the Luxi Garrison Brigade, and the Southwest Luxi Garrison Brigade be taught to camouflage the main force to make a feint to the south, but even the cavalry brigade was also to make a feint to the west, and the northern Jiangsu detachment should complete the organization as soon as possible and move as soon as possible, so that the little devils would think that the main force of our army was in the border areas of northern Jiangsu, central Jiangsu, and Jiangsu and Anhui, so as to create a posture in which our army took advantage of the enemy's emptiness and fully blossomed and divided its troops in all directions, covering the main force to return to Shandong to restore the base area.
Zhang Jingwu nodded again and again, and after saluting the cadres, he was busy organizing the troops.
After arranging the affairs of the northern Jiangsu detachment, Liu Yimin ordered Cai Zhong to lead the Fourth Brigade to cover the baggage regiment and the engineer regiment to advance to Lianyungang, accept the materials captured by Lianyungang, and return to southeast Shandong from Ganyu. Ordered the Eighth Brigade to disguise the main force to besiege Xuzhou, and asked Luo Ronghuan to lead the First Brigade, the Third Brigade, the Sixth Brigade, the Air Defense Brigade, and the Heavy Machine Gun Regiment to retreat to the area of Xin'an Ancient Town to conceal and recuperate, and send powerful troops to control Maling Road to ensure that the main force could be withdrawn smoothly.
After all this, Liu Yimin found Jingjing and accepted an exclusive interview with a reporter from Shandong Daily News in Pixian County.
Since the army's large-scale sweep of Shandong, Liu Yimin was highly nervous, and took a series of measures to finally lure the enemy and lead the devil's heavy army group to Jiaodong, thus capturing Lianyungang in one fell swoop and eliminating the main force of the 116th Division. At this time, he was extremely excited, and his voice became louder.
"Reporter Jingjing, I remember that after the elimination of the 10th Division of the Yue Army, I accepted an exclusive interview with you in Gudu, the Yellow River in Binxian County. At that time, I proposed that the devils were paper tigers, and their large-scale siege of central Hebei, southern Hebei, and Shandong would inevitably fail. Time has proven my judgment. Last night, our army captured Lianyungang in one fell swoop, completely annihilated the main force of the 116th Division of the Chinese Army, and killed more than 15,000 devils under Major General Ishihara Tsunetaro. The commander of the 116th Division, Qing Shui Xizhong, was beaten by our army and lost his soul, and led some of the remnants of the enemy to flee in embarrassment and fled to Xuzhou City. Our army has seized a large amount of military supplies from the Japanese army, and I see that the militarist political axe is about to loot the pockets of the common people again, and we must turn them into poor eggs. ”
Speaking of this, Liu Yimin took a puff of cigarette and continued: "In the sweep of the Yue army, the soldiers and civilians in my base area rose up to resist and fought to the death against the Yue army. In the battle of Zhoucun, our army shed blood and sacrificed to resist the all-out attack of the Fifth Division of the Chinese Army, although the Fifth Division suffered heavy losses, and also captured all the artillery of the field artillery wing of the Fifth Division, but under the attack of the aircraft, artillery, tanks and poison gas bombs of the Japanese army, our army suffered heavy casualties, and the whole battalion and regiment of the troops were sacrificed, and the blood of the martyrs stained every stone slab in Zhoucun, a thousand-year-old commercial port. In the previous battles to block the Yue army in the mountainous area of central and southern Shandong, in the face of the repeated attacks of the heavy army group of the Yue army, our army was fearless and fearless, and resisted the crazy attack of the Yue Kou with the Great Wall of flesh and blood. In the fierce battle last night, in the face of the dying struggle of the Japanese army, the officers and men of our army went forward one after another, divided the devils piece by piece, and completely broke the devils' will to resist with grenades and bayonets. It can be said that during this period of time, the Eighth Route Army in Shandong did not fight without a battle and wrote a glorious chapter. Of course, objectively speaking, the army's current sweep was a sweep with all its elite, and the number of troops was unprecedented, and countless ordinary people died under the bombs, shells, and bayonets of the little devils, and our army basically lost its base area in Shandong, and the troops suffered heavy casualties. This blood and tears account, we will carefully calculate it with Yue Jun. ”
Seeing that Liu Yimin stopped talking and looked a little pensive, Jingjing hurriedly got up and handed over her kettle and let Liu Yimin take a sip.
After Liu Yimin finished drinking the water, he paused for a while and continued: "It has been a year since the Chinese people's war of resistance against the Chinese people. A year ago, the aggressors arrogantly boasted that they would destroy China in three months and China in one year. The people of the whole world have seen that Xiao Yueben not only failed to destroy China, but instead lost his troops and several divisions. In addition to the production of weapons, ammunition, and munitions, the output of civilian products in factories has declined, the market has been shrinking, and ordinary people have sent rice, white flour, and beef to the front, and they themselves are running out of food. I heard that a cartoon was published in a magazine depicting the commander of the North China Front, Shouichi Terauchi, waving one hand and shouting for the annexation of China, but the other hand secretly reached for the purse of an old lady carrying a vegetable basket. I see that this manga is very well drawn and vivid, depicting the despicable deeds of the people in power represented by Emperor Hirohito, Prince Zaihito of Kanin Palace, Prime Minister Konoe, and General Toshiichi Terauchi. This group of people in power is purely a group of anti-human war criminals who have been nurtured by militarism. I dare to assert that one by one they will be guillotined and judged by the Chinese people and all peace-loving people. ”
After Jingjing finished recording, she raised her head and asked, "General Liu, I am very encouraged by your words, and I believe that the people of the whole country are looking forward to sending all the invaders to the guillotine one day sooner." Next, I would like to ask a question, which is also the one that readers are most concerned about. So what do you think of the current battlefield situation? ”
Liu Yimin nodded: "At present, the overall situation of the battlefield situation in China is still that the enemy is strong and we are weak, but unlike at the beginning of the war, our army has basically stabilized its position, and has achieved great victories in some areas. However, we must not be carried away by the victory, and we must also realize that after all, we have a complete industrial system and a complete military service system, and we will replenish our combat losses extremely quickly, and we will maintain a strategic offensive posture for a certain period of time. Now that they have completed the occupation of Shandong and the North China Plain, they will inevitably continue to take risks in the next step, and will continue to launch attacks on Wuhan, Zhengzhou, Guangzhou and other big cities in an attempt to completely crush our army. Although a large area of our country was lost and our troops suffered heavy losses, after the baptism of the early stage of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the fear of the enemy gradually disappeared in all units of our army. Although it is still possible for the army to win in a major battle, it will certainly be a disastrous victory, as at the beginning of the war, when a large group of devils could drive a division running around, will be gone forever. According to my conservative estimate, by the end of this year at the most, the Chinese army will stop its strategic offensive, and the enemy and us may enter a stage of strategic stalemate. On the contrary, after the Chinese army stops its strategic offensive, it will concentrate its forces to further sweep away the base areas behind enemy lines, and the situation in individual theaters will deteriorate, and some irresolute elements will accelerate their surrender. The big waves wash the sand! ”
Jingjing asked again: "My readers are curious to know, where will the heroic Eighth Route Army Instructor attack next after capturing Lianyungang?" Can General Liu reveal a little bit about the situation? ”
Liu Yimin sighed and said, "This question is about military secrets, and it shouldn't have been said. But I don't say some things, I will judge clearly, there is no way, the army has strong reconnaissance capabilities, they have planes, can they fly everywhere! Open the skylight and say something! There is no way back to Shandong, there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers waiting there, and I will not take the soldiers to throw themselves into the net. Since the army occupies Shandong, then we can come to Jiangsu, or we can go to Anhui. Where there are devils, we will go! Where the devils are easy to fight, we will fight them. Didn't Xiao Yue forget to capture Wuhan? Let's go and join in the fun, maybe we can eliminate another permanent division of devils when the time comes! In addition, I heard that Shanghai is a big city, with a ten-mile foreign market, full of shops, banks, and many goods in the money, and our Eighth Route Army is poor, so these things can be used for military expenses. None of my soldiers have been to Shanghai yet! I would love to invite the soldiers to eat Western food and taste the taste of coffee in the largest restaurant in Shanghai. ”
Jingjing's eyes immediately widened, and she exclaimed, "Is what you said true?" After speaking, I remembered that this was Liu Yimin talking, and he said that he was going to Shanghai, which was just to tease the little devils, where could he take it seriously. But after all, the girl's surname was in her heart, so she couldn't help muttering: "If you can really break into Shanghai, you must take me with you." ”
Liu Yimin laughed in his heart, and said: "Even if you can't go to Shanghai, it's okay to go to the Yangtze River and capture a warship." I heard that there is an aircraft carrier on it, and it is full of planes, if we capture it, can't we drive it and go directly to it? At the very least, you can bomb Xiao Yuben's palace, if you are lucky, maybe you can go down with a bomb and blow up Emperor Hirohito directly! I've heard that Shouchi Terauchi has threatened to capture me several times and to arrest me and go to Tokyo to apologize. Reporter Jingjing, you said that with my skills, if I can successfully skydive in Tokyo, do you say that I apologize to Emperor Hirohito and Empress Yoshiko, or do they prostrate at my feet and wag their tails and beg for mercy? ”
Jingjing blurted out: "Of course they wag their tails and beg for mercy!" ”
Liu Yimin laughed and said, "This is not my fantasy, but it will inevitably happen in the future." As long as Xiao Yueben does not change his aggressive policy, sooner or later they will be beaten and surrender unconditionally. When the time comes, I will really go to Tokyo with a long song, ride Mount Fuji, and ask Emperor Hirohito to respectfully clean my study every day. ”
Jingjing couldn't figure out whether Liu Yimin was talking formally or bragging, and she stared and didn't know how to record it.
Liu Yimin knew that the little girl was in trouble, so he said seriously: "Now, although our War of Resistance is difficult, the people of the Yue Army are not having a good time, they have suffered successive defeats, and their international status has plummeted. A few days ago, the Soviet Red Army was already in Zhanggufeng. I said, there is no need for the Soviet Red Army to hesitate at all, because the army has only one 19th Division in Korea, and it cannot stop the Soviet Red Army's thunderous blow at all. Even the Kwantung Army is also very weak now, not to mention fighting the Soviet army with all its might, and they can't complete the local garrison task in the northeast alone. In such a big place, where can Xiao Yueben guard it? You must know that the Soviet Red Army has more mechanized troops and planes than the Yue Army, and as long as the fight starts, Xiao Yue will inevitably be covered with corpses, and he will not be an opponent at all. I look forward to the Soviet Red Army attacking bravely and fighting the invaders together with the Chinese people. I firmly believe that the Red Army will win! ”
Speaking of this, what he wanted to say was basically finished, Liu Yimin ended the conversation and asked Jingjing to go back and send the press release immediately, which was equivalent to announcing to the whole country the news that the Eighth Route Army had captured Lianyungang.
Chiang Kai-shek learned about the capture of Lianyungang by the Eighth Route Army through the radio.
During this period, the main force of the army flocked to Shandong, and the pressure on Wuhan and eastern Henan was almost completely dissipated, and the national political axe could calmly transfer materials and machinery and equipment to the rear, and could also calmly deploy troops and adjust defense affairs, and Chiang Kai-shek's spirit was naturally much better.
Originally, Chiang Kai-shek had an unspeakable mentality about the Shandong war situation, but now the news suddenly came, and the main force of the Eighth Route Army, which had been compressed by the army to the Jiaodong line, suddenly appeared in Lianyungang and eliminated the main force of the 116th Division, which was incredible. This Liu Yimin is really unpredictable, not only deceived Xiao Yueben, but also deceived himself. Niang Xipi!
After scolding, Chiang Kai-shek suddenly remembered that Liu Yimin had achieved such a great victory, and he dared not report the results, what did he want to do?
Chiang Kai-shek immediately ordered the chamberlain to send a report to the 18th Group Army, asking Liu Yimin why he didn't report the results of the battle, and whether he still had a sense of the overall situation?
After sending the telegram, Chiang Kai-shek felt that he was a little out of shape, Liu Yimin had achieved such a great achievement, and he should be commended no matter what, so he called the director of the chamberlain and asked him to resend a telegram to commend the instructor of the Eighth Route Army. It is necessary for the Eighth Route Army to report the exact location of the instructor, whether it can take the opportunity to recover Xuzhou.
Chiang Kai-shek and Liu Yimin are different, he is the commander of a country, and he attaches great importance to the reconquest of lost territory, and when he heard that Liu Yimin led his troops to capture Lianyungang and eliminate the main force of the 116th Division, he immediately thought of Xuzhou, and soon came up with a plan to advance east and west, solve the problem of the army in eastern Henan and recover Xuzhou in one fell swoop. Although he knew that there was a large army stationed in Xuzhou City, couldn't Liu Yimin fight? Maybe Liu Yimin will pass on the good news again and capture Xuzhou in one fell swoop! If that is the case, it is time to consider how the troops of the 1st Theater of Operations should move. Chiang Kai-shek even thought about how to appoint local officials in the event of the recovery of Xuzhou.
Chiang Kai-shek excitedly summoned He Yingqin, Bai Chongxi and others, explained his thoughts, and asked them to plan carefully, hurry up and formulate a battle plan, and have another battle of Xuzhou, so as to solve the 27th and 39th divisions in eastern Henan and the defenders of Xuzhou in a war.
Unexpectedly, Bai Chongxi shook his head after hearing this, and even said that Liu Yimin would not capture Xuzhou, and this plan was not feasible.
(To be continued)
