'Bang bang bang', in the early morning, there was a sudden knock on the door in the bedroom of the Ogizhou Libing, and the Ogizhou Libing got up in a daze, opened the door angrily, and scolded; Tell me what's the matter. ‘’

''Hai, Your Excellency General, disturb your rest, 100,000 are in a hurry, the positions on the outskirts of Bengbu are suddenly attacked by the army of China, the enemy is attacking fiercely, and our army is retreating one after another. The orderly soldier of the Ogizhou Libing said with sincere fear.

''Nani?'' Ogishu Libing's pupils contracted, his mind 'buzzed', he came to his senses completely, his anxiety overflowed, he immediately got dressed, and at the same time ordered the orderlies: ''Immediately notify the chief of staff to come to my office.'' ‘’

The Ogisu soldiers rushed to the office in a hurry, all kinds of telegrams and calls came one after another, and the headquarters of the 13th Division was suddenly brightly lit and entered a state of emergency.

Ogizhou Libing answered the phone, his face was extremely ugly, and he quickly came to the front of the huge military situation map, and said without looking back; ''Chief of Staff, immediately order the Anjin Brigade to set off, and be sure to reach the Fengyang front before Foxiao. ‘’

''Hay. Nakajima Yoshio did not dare to slack off, and immediately dialed the phone of the Anjin Brigade and conveyed the order of the division commander. Putting down the phone, he looked at Ogizhou Libing suspiciously, and said, "Your Excellency, which army is our opponent?" ‘’

''Gui's Seventh Army, Thirty-first Army. ''Hagi Libing's face turned pale, and he slowly turned his head and said; The 31st Army is our old opponent, and the 7th Army, known as the 'Steel Army', is the ace unit of the Gui system, and is an important capital for Li Zongren and the bald generals to play against each other. ‘’

'''Steel Army'. ''Yoshio Nakajima frowned and muttered; ''It seems that Li Zongren is going to fight with us.'' ‘’

Ogishu Libing nodded, and suddenly a confident expression appeared on his face, his eyes were sharp and full of aggression, and he said sharply; ''What steel army?'' In front of our great Imperial Japanese Army, all of them are dead and dead. It was ordered that the Yu Zhishan Brigade in Chihe should set off at the latest before Foxiao to support Bengbu, and Li Chun's Brigade would immediately take over the defense area of the Yu Zhishan Brigade in case the Zhishan people would take advantage of the situation. ‘’

''Hai, Your Excellency General, the enemy is menacing, do we order the main force of the division on the north bank of the Huai River to come back to help?'' Yoshio Nakajima asked hesitantly.

''No, Chief of Staff, our strength is enough to block the Seventh Army and the Thirty-first Army, there is no need to let the main forces of the division and regiment come to the rescue, their task is to defeat the enemy in Guzhen, and join the 5th and 10th Divisions of the Imperial Japanese Army in Xuzhou. ''Ogisu said firmly.

''Hay, Your Excellency General. Nakajima's eyes gradually became feverish, and he said loudly; "Our Imperial Japanese Army is invincible, and victory will always belong to the heroic Imperial Japanese Army." ‘’

In the early morning, the morning breeze was cold, and the sky was gloomy. In the office of the commander of the Fifth Theater in Xuzhou, Li Zongren got up early in the morning, and according to the usual practice, the orderly made him a cup of tea. Due to the military operation on the front line, Deputy Chief of Staff Wang Hongshao also rushed to the office early in the morning.

Wang Hongshao compiled the telegram and telephone records and handed them over to Li Zongren. While drinking tea, Li Zongren slowly understood the battle report on the front line, the attack of the Seventh Army and the Thirty-first Army was very smooth, and it went straight to Bengbu, and the reaction of the Dizhou troops was also expected by him.

''Liu Changfeng, it's up to you now.'' Li Zongren muttered.

''Chief Li is really a last resort, and the Ogizhou troops are going to be unlucky.'' The battle on the Huaihe front went smoothly, and Wang Hongshao's tone was unusually relaxed.

Li Zongren smiled and said; At present, our top priority is to block the Yu Zhishan Brigade supporting Bengbu to the south and east of Linhuai Pass, completely break the idea of establishing troops in Dizhou, and at the same time order the Seventh Army and the Thirty-first Army to intensify the attack and put enough pressure on the Japanese troops in Bengbu, so that the troops on the north bank of the Huai River will be ordered to retreat. ‘’

What Chief Li said was that now we will look at the Thunder Anti-Japanese vanguard, as long as they can block the Yuzhishan Brigade, the Dizhou troops will have to retreat from the north bank of the Huai River. Wang Hongshao said with a smile.

''Report, the butterfly group called, the Thunder Anti-Japanese Vanguard ambushed the Japanese army five kilometers north of Xiaoxihe Town, and the resistance began to retreat in less than half an hour, and the Japanese army continues to advance towards Bengbu. ''Said the Chief of the Major General of the Telecommunications Section.

''What?'' Wang Hongshao was startled, stood up, quickly took the message, and quickly browsed it.

"Chief Li, this 、、、、 this thunderous anti-Japanese vanguard is going to harm us. Wang Hongshao said anxiously, anxious, overflowing.

The deputy chief of staff is calm for a while, the situation is still unclear, and it is not yet certain that the Thunder Anti-Japanese vanguard will be bad. Li Zongren said unhurriedly.

''My Chief Li, they are just a bunch of peasants, they have not seen the world, we cannot trust them, I think we must prepare for the worst.'' Wang Hongshao said anxiously.

Liu Changfeng is not an irresponsible, untrustworthy person, since he accepted my military order, he will definitely do his best, since they can destroy thousands of enemies, it is impossible to have only such a little ability, let us wait and see. Li Zongren said calmly.

Looking at Li Zongren's determined appearance, Wang Hongshao walked around uneasily, wanting to speak again and again, and finally couldn't help it, tried to calm his emotions, and said tentatively; ''Sir Li, if not, let's ask Liu Changfeng and see what their plans are. ‘’

Li Zongren pondered for a moment and said; ''Well, you can do it yourself.'' ‘’

Wang Hongshao hurriedly walked out and walked straight to the telecommunications department. Li Zongren looked at Wang Hongshao's back, his face gradually became solemn, the Seventh Army and the Thirty-first Army are his hometown, if Yu Zhishan's brigade arrives in Bengbu smoothly, then his troops will surely suffer heavy casualties, he believes that Liu Changfeng is the same thing, but the current situation is grim, and he can't guess Liu Changfeng's thoughts, and he can't help but feel uneasy.

After a while, Wang Hongshao hurriedly walked back, holding a telegram in his hand, and handed it to Li Zongren, who took it and looked at it, there were only a few words on it; 'The big husband has a word, but the horse is hard to chase'.

Li Zongren couldn't help but smile on his face and said; "This Liu Changfeng also started a dumb riddle with me. ‘’

Wang Hongshao's face was not very good-looking, and he said angrily; ''Sir Li, you say, is there such a thing as him?'' In the face of the inquiry of the commander's department of the war zone, he was fortunate enough to reply to such an ambiguous message, which was really unreasonable. ‘’

''No, Deputy Chief of Staff, he has made it very clear, that is, he will do his best to carry out the task of stopping the Japanese army. Li Zongren said with a smile.

''But, Chief Li, the telegram from the Butterfly Group clearly states that Liu Changfeng's troops put up a slight resistance and collapsed at 、、、、the slightest touch, so how can we trust him?'' Wang Hongshao said stupidly.

Li Zongren waved his hand and smiled; As for how he will block the attack, I don't care about this, and I don't want to ask about it, I am commanding a campaign, and the specific battle process is still handed over to the commanders of each unit, you must know that the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and the commanders of each unit have the right to formulate appropriate tactics according to the specific situation, and it is not good to interfere too much in their specific tactics.
