"Yes, send it out immediately, the sooner the better!" Commander Li nodded hurriedly.

Han Fei immediately asked the "fox" to send the telegram from Haizi to the theater headquarters in Xuzhou as quickly as possible, in order to show that the content of this telegram was true and important, Commander Li signed it himself, and attached a note to the telegram: Chief Li, Chief Bai Junjian, this situation was learned by the elite special forces under his subordinates, and it should be true!

The telegram was sent out quickly, but Commander Li was still not at ease, and continued to ask Han Feidao: "What should we do besides reporting the situation to the theater command?" ”

"We can't do anything now, we can only speed up the march and rush to the vicinity of Lianyungang before the Nakashima devils land!" Han Fei was thinking about how to deal with Nakajima's landing in Lianyungang, but he felt that his mind was a mess at the moment, and this situation came too suddenly, he was not prepared at all, and he had no thoughts at all.

"Well, now we are still a few hundred roads away from Su County, we can ask the nearby troops to give us priority conditions, and we should be able to rush to Su County quickly by train to replenish it." Commander Li muttered that because there are a lot of troops withdrawn from Nanjing and Pukou, there are not enough trains on the Jinpu Road, and everyone wants to take the train to go down, which is fast and labor-saving, but there are only a few trains, and there are many troops of all kinds who have withdrawn, not only the descendants of the Central Army, the ordinary troops of the Central Army, the local troops of the miscellaneous army, and even the police force, the security regiment, etc., and some troops are about to fight here at the railway station in order to be able to get on the train. The situation once reached the point of inextricability, and later the theater command came down with a stern order, and the train deployment was directly under the jurisdiction of the theater command, which prevented this infighting between the Chinese troops in the rear! Avoid a fire fight between the Chinese!

Fortunately, Commander Li was familiar with the local garrison commander and was his old classmate at the Baoding Military Academy, but after listening to Commander Li's request, this old classmate shook his head helplessly and said: "Lao Li, you also know, how many people are rushing to get on the train, I still had some power to allocate wagons in the past, but now they are all under the control of the theater command, but your big brother came forward, I have to grit my teeth and find a way to squeeze out a few wagons for you." ”

"The main force of our 79th Army plus Brother Han's special forces has 20,000 horses, and a few train wagons are definitely not enough, don't you have a car? Lend me all your cars here, and I'll make an IOU! "In order to be able to rush to Xuzhou as soon as possible this time, Commander Li can be said to be shy with an old face, and in normal times, he would never open this mouth.

"Okay, I'm out of the way, what kind of friendship do we have, do we still need to make an IOU?" That old classmate was also quite cheerful, and agreed without saying a word.

On the side of the Xuzhou Theater Headquarters, Chief Li and Chief Bai are convening a meeting of their generals, and the telegram sent by Commander Li of the 79th Army has confused them, and they are busy dealing with the Isogu Division from Linyi, and now I heard Commander Li's telegram saying that the Nakajima Division has gone north along the sea route and is about to land and land in the Lianyungang area, this news is undoubtedly a bolt from the blue, at the beginning, the two commanders still had doubts about this news, thinking that this Commander Li was mistaken, this is simply a fantasy!

But later, when Commander Li and Commander Bai found out that this information was reconnoitred by Han Fei's special forces, they believed it a little, so they immediately convened a meeting of their officers above the brigade commander level to discuss this emergency.

At the meeting, most of the generals scoffed at this information, and all thought that it was impossible, and most of the generals of the Central Army's descendant units who made these remarks, in their opinion, the Nakajima devils must have gone crazy, so they would make a move to go north from the sea, and on the land route, the Nakajima devils could completely catch up all the way with the Jinpu Road, and directly threaten Xuzhou along Bengbu and Suxian, so why bother to seek the near and far?

But there are still some local miscellaneous army generals who are silent, especially those generals of the Northwest Army, who think that this information is reliable: "The devils have always used their soldiers to be scheming, not to speak of common sense, the Battle of Songhu was still fought well, although we can't drive out the devils here in Shanghai, but the troops on both sides are in a stalemate, the devil's troops rely on the strong ships and guns and the fierce firepower of the aircraft, we rely on the strength of the people, the two sides fought a draw in Shanghai, Later, it was the two divisions of the devil who suddenly landed in Hangzhou Bay behind them, which made the situation of the Songhu Battle take a sharp turn for the worse. ”

Chief Li and Chief Bai were very interested in the opinions of these generals of the Northwest Army, nodded and said, "It makes sense, keep talking!" ”

The generals of the Northwest Army saw that they had the encouragement of Chief Li and Chief Bai, and they became even bolder, so they continued: "If the Nakajima devils pursue them along the land route, they will definitely be intercepted by our various troops along the way, and the Jinpu Road railway line is not what they want to use, and our troops along the way can completely destroy this railway, plus there are many anti-Japanese armed harassment and attacks along the way, it is not easy for the Nakashima devils to drive in by land, and in Bengbu and Suxian these two places, Our heavy army group is stationed, although the combat effectiveness of the devil division is fierce, it depends on their aircraft and artillery firepower, but the elongation of the battle line is equivalent to lengthening the logistics supply line, without logistics supply, the devil's combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced, once we meet our heavy army group in Bengbu and Suxian and other places, whether the devils on the island can break through the defense line, it is not necessarily, and choose the sea route, the devils on the island do not have this concern, our navy has been defeated in Jiangyin and Shanghai, and the sea is almost the world of devils, he can quickly take the devil to the north without any scruples, and he can also land and land at any point along the coast of Jiangsu, which invisibly puts pressure on our land defense, because we only know that Zhongdao may land in the Lianyungang area, and we don't know anything else, what if he lands in Yancheng, Sheyang, Haiyang and other places south of Lianyungang? We can't guard against it! ”

"That's right, that's the truth, we suffered a big loss in the last Songhu Battle, this time we must not let this situation be repeated in the Battle of Xuzhou, Brother De, I think this information is reliable, what do you think?" Chief Bai patted the table and said.
