Li Zongren was a little suspicious of Long Xiaotian, ****** the same. Although he knew that Long Xiaotian was a bit magical, he made the Japanese army's intelligence so extensive and accurate, it was too incredible and instinctively suspicious.www.biquge.info However, skepticism is suspicion, and there is no fundamental denial. At this time, I also knew that during the battle of TEZ District, Long Xiaotian gave Li Zongren the same accurate information, which was thrown away by Li Zongren.

At the same time, he ordered the commanders of all armies in the Fifth Theater to closely reconnoiter the Japanese army's intelligence, report it every day, and bluntly stated: It is more important to find out the enemy's situation than to fight.

The commanders of the various armies also felt the great crisis and urgently ordered their subordinates and scouts to step up reconnaissance. Soon, one by one, Japanese intelligence flew to Wuhan.

On May 5, the 6th, 9th, and 101st divisions of the southern line were added to the southern line, and the Huai River was quickly crossed;

On May 10, the Kanazawa Division stormed Mengcheng;

On May 12, it was confirmed that the number of the Japanese army on the northern front was changed from the previous 5th and 10th divisions; 3 heavy divisions, including 14, 16, and 114, were sharply increased. On the same day, Kenji Dohihara led the 14th Division to successfully cross the Yellow River; Running all the way, not entangled with the **** local troops, and directly inserting the transportation hub of HN to Guide (now known as Shangqiu).

When intelligence from all over the world was gathered, even ordinary officers could see the intention of the Japanese army's north and south lines to encircle the field army of the 5th Theater in Xuzhou. If these 600,000 Chinese troops are lost, the war of resistance will definitely fail.

Leaning over and looking at the military map, ****** cold sweat broke out, and I was angry in my heart, Niang Xipi, little devil, I originally wanted to copy the victory in the TEZ area and beat the Japanese army all the way in a bag, you guys are good, you want to wrap up my 600,000 army.

stood up, touched his bald head with his hand, and said to Liu Fei, director of the War Department of the Military Command Department beside him: "It seems that the Japanese army is vainly trying to surround my army in Xuzhou, and it has a lot of appetite." It is necessary to retreat immediately. ”

Liu Fei nodded and said, "Yes, retreat, right away!" Otherwise, once you form a siege, it will be too late to break through. ”

Said sternly: "Order! ”

Liu Fei immediately picked up the notebook and recorded.

The 100,000 fire emergency telegram order dictated to Li Zongren in person:

"Commander of the 5th Theater Li Zongren:

The Military Commission ordered your troops to avoid the decisive battle, evacuate Xuzhou, and break through the siege quickly.

1. Gu Zhutong and the 24th Group Army were in northern Jiangsu, and the 69th Army and the Marine Corps persisted in the war of resistance in central and southern Shandong.

2. Liu Ruming's 68th Army was the rear guard of the whole army, covering the transfer of the main force.

3. Feng Shaojun of the 5th Theater led all his troops to immediately break through to the Henan-Anhui border area......"

After Liu Fei finished writing, he asked Lao Jiang to read the signature, and was just about to leave, ****** stopped him and said, "For the chapter, after sending the report, you will go to Xuzhou in person." You go to Tongdelin and say that this is a big encirclement of the enemy, and if you don't hurry up and find a way, hundreds of thousands of troops will be lost. You also have to make it clear to the generals at all levels that they should carry out the orders of the high command. As long as everyone works together, first break through the enemies in Huaibei and Luxi, and then transfer the offensive to Lunan, victory is certain and certain. ”

For the chapter is Liu Fei's word. He was born in the Gui department, studied at RB Army University, and is known as the half of the three and a half military strategists of the Republic of China.

"Yes, Chairman. I will certainly urge Chief Li to act strictly according to orders. Liu Fei said loudly.

"Also, you have to get in touch with the kid surnamed Long for yourself, his information is amazing. If he is not an angel sent by the Lord, he has an inside line in the Japanese army base camp. ****** smiled, a strange light flashing in his eyes.

Liu Fei was surprised, and asked rhetorically: "If he really had such a big background inside, his parents would not have been killed in Nanjing......" At this point, he suddenly stopped, opened his mouth wide, and his face was full of doubts, because the remaining answer was that Long Xiaotian was an angel, which was even more incredible than having an inside line in the base camp.

Liu Fei trotted out.

Turning around, he made a cross on his chest and muttered, "Please Lord bless my army of 600,000." His voice was sad and his eyes were moist.

After Liu Fei sent the telegram, he took a plane to Zhengzhou, and then took a train to Xuzhou, where a staff officer of the Fifth Theater Command had already driven to pick up the telegram.

The staff officer smiled: "Director Liu, Commander Li has already put on a reception banquet for you in the hall on the second floor. ”

Liu Fei frowned, a burst of fire rushed up, and he scolded angrily: "It's all burning eyebrows, what kind of banquet do you put on?" ”

Along the way, Liu Fei kept urging the car to go faster. As soon as the car stopped in the headquarters compound, Liu Fei pushed the car door, walked inside, and walked up the stairs, when he heard a burst of talk, plus laughter.

Liu Fei ran to the second floor, and when he looked at it, his nose was crooked. It turned out that there was a large table in the hall, full of chicken, duck, fish and seven or eight bottles of liquor, Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi sat on the top, and the others were Yu Xuezhong, commander of the Third Group Army, Li Pinxian, commander of the Eleventh Group Army, Liao Lei, commander of the Twenty-first Group Army, Deng Xihou, commander of the Twenty-second Group Army, Gu Zhutong, commander of the Twenty-fourth Group Army, Pang Bingxun, commander of the Third Army Corps, Yang Sen, commander of the Twenty-seventh Group Army, Zhang Zizhong, commander of the Fifty-ninth Army, Tang Enbo, commander of the Twentieth Army Corps, and Liu Ruming, commander of the Sixty-eighth Army. Hehe, the big leaders of the Fifth War Zone are all sitting at the wine table and talking and laughing.

A wave of anger rushed to his forehead, Liu Fei didn't say a word, and walked over with a blue face.

Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi hurriedly stood up to greet them and stretched out their hands.

Liu Fei put aside Li Zongren's hand, stepped over to the table, reached out and grabbed the edge of the table and lifted it up, and the table was full of wine and food, and the air was quickly filled with the aroma of wine.

Li Zongren was stunned for a moment, and then smiled.

The other generals were furious. Tang Enbo even stepped forward, grabbed Liu Fei's wrist, and threatened viciously: "The surname Liu, don't think that if you dare to contradict the chairman, you will be able to do everything, that is the chairman's mercy." I'm not used to your stinky problem. Today, if you don't give me an explanation, I'll kill you! He raised his fist and shook it.

Liu Fei was not afraid and said: "Hmph, if the chairman comes here, I'm afraid it won't be as simple as overturning the table!" The bayonets of the RB people have already reached your necks, and you still have the heart to drink and chat! As he spoke, he looked at Li Zongren and asked angrily: "Commander Li, you received the order from the headquarters yesterday." ”

Li Zongren nodded and turned his head to signal Bai Chongxi.

Bai Chongxi laughed a few times, took out a document from his pocket, handed it to Liu Fei, and said: "Brother Zhang, after receiving an order from the chairman, the Fifth Theater Command has formulated a retreat plan yesterday according to the latest Japanese intelligence, and gathered everyone overnight for mobilization. This is the plan, please take a look. ”

Liu Fei took the plan and looked at it, his brows gradually stretched.

Li Zongren introduced on the side: "We judge that the Japanese army thinks that the direction of our army's breakthrough is to take the Longhai line to the west, and I will make a plan to let an army feign hostility and attack in the direction of Xuzhou, so that the Japanese army will be convinced that the Chinese army will retreat to the west, and the main force will retreat to northern and central Anhui." The divisions were to alternately cover the retreat. I also ordered all armies to break through if they encountered a strong resistance from the Japanese army, and if they went out, they could break through and go out one by one. ”

After reading it, Liu Fei returned the document to Bai Chongxi and said, "This plan is good, and it must be implemented immediately." However, how do you retreat? Follow that corps? ”

"There are more than 1,000 personnel from the Commander's Department, the special service battalion, and the personnel of the central government in Xuzhou, and we set off independently, so we don't need to protect the troops." Li Zongren replied.

"What? You are crazy? Liu Fei was shocked and shouted.

"I did this because the enemy's encirclement has not yet been completely formed, and besides, the target of a thousand men is very small, and the enemy will not pay attention, so there is no need to use protection forces, otherwise it will drag them down." Li Zongren said with a smile.

"It's definitely not going to work. How can a special service battalion be competent? It's so adventurous! Liu Fei disagreed.

"We still have one more to rely on, let Long Xiaotian follow us to retreat!" Bai Chongxi said leisurely.

Liu Fei blinked, Chen Si thought for a while, and said, "Okay then." I will follow you in retreat! ”
