It can be said that he did succeed in deceiving Li Zongren with his previous false shot, but then when the strategic attempt of the Yue army to attack Rehe was exposed, Li Zongren immediately asked the Wuhan political axe to contain the Central China Army with a part of the troops, break the main force of the North China Front with the main force, and reinforce Zhang Xuewu's 10th Theater of Operations.

However, Li Zongren's plan was vetoed by Chiang Kai-shek on the grounds that the preparation of war materials had not yet been completed and the time was not yet ripe, and Li Zongren, who found the opportunity for a decisive battle, originally wanted to give Chiang Kai-shek a general to a foreign military order, but he never expected that Chiang Kai-shek first controlled all the supply and replenishment matters of the Fifth Theater under the pretext of Xu Wenwei's corruption case, and in addition, the elite troops in the Fifth Theater of Xuzhou were all Chiang Kai-shek's Whampoa Gaozu, Li Zongren was also weak, and the miscellaneous troops suffered greater losses in the previous defensive battles. Although many units have completed replenishment, due to the large number of new recruits, their combat effectiveness has fallen instead of rising.

Li Zongren, who had missed a great opportunity, also knew that it would be difficult for Zhang Xuewu's 10th Theater to respond to the operation he commanded against the North China Front Army this time, and that the troops of the North China Front Army and the Central China Front Army had already moved together, and he himself realized that after the main force of the North China Front Army retreated into Manchuria, it would be absolutely impossible for the remaining five divisions and seven mixed brigades of the North China Front Army to block Zhang Xuewu's attack, so the Yue Army began to prepare to concentrate troops in a planned and secret manner. Abandoning most of the territory of North China and sticking to only a few key points on the Pinghan Line, echoing the main force of the Central China Front.

In fact, Li Zongren also knew very well that Zhang Xuewu drove all the main forces of the entire North China Front into the northeast, so the Wuhan Nationalist Axe was very worried that Zhang Xuewu would take the opportunity to seize North China, so he ordered Li Zongren to immediately launch a large-scale campaign to ensure that the main force swept away the North China Army and recovered North China.

It is easy to say that it is easy to sweep up the army, but in fact it is not so easy for Li Zongren, although the troops are several times redundant, but there is still a big gap between the weapons and the army on the whole, and most of the troops are replenished with new soldiers, and the combat effectiveness is very limited, and the command structure of the troops is too too much and cumbersome, resulting in delays in the issuance and implementation of orders. The Fifth Theater was not a well-equipped Tenth Theater, and above Li Zongren there was the existence of Chiang Kai-shek, the supreme commander who liked to mobilize troops without saying hello.

Therefore, Li Zongren could only stubbornly use the Tang Enbo Corps and Hu Zongnan Corps, which belonged to the Fifth Theater, as mobile corps, and transfer the Fifth, Eighth, Thirty-sixth, Seventy-fourth, Eighty-first, Eighty-third, Eighty-seventh, Eighty-eighth and Ninety-eighth Armies, and the 100th Army to form a sortie group, which was attached to the Second Artillery Brigade, the Fifth Brigade, and the Armored Brigade directly under the Central Military Commission, to sweep up the remnants of the Chinese Army.

In Li Zongren's opinion, is there still less so-called sweeping? If the Kuomintang is really able to sympathize with the officers and men of the troops, it should take advantage of the great opportunity of the 10 th Theater to attract the main force of the Chinese army, and seize the opportunity to destroy the main force of the field troops in North China or China.

In fact, since the Battle of Xuzhou, the performance of the Chinese [***] team has surprised the Yue army, especially the Chinese [***] team's persistence in every city and place has brought great trouble to the Yue army, especially the failure of the Yue army's two large-scale attacks on the Rehe Tenth Theater, which has consumed a large amount of national strength and strategic materials, especially the loss of experienced veterans.

It can be said that what the Fifth Theater is facing is definitely a bitter and bloody battle, but Zhang Xuewu, who is reorganizing his arms for warfare, does not think that the national political axe will be able to achieve his strategic goals, and the army is purely based on its national strength and comprehensive strength, and China is far from being his opponent, and Zhang Xuewu's repeated and repeated heavy losses to the Yue army are all tactics of winning by surprise.

What does it mean to be a surprise winner? In fact, winning by surprise is synonymous with adventure, Zhang Xuewu defended the front and then strangled the transport line of the Yue army with air superiority, and broke the Yue army with an armored cluster, the consumption of this tactic was not something that Zhang Xuewu could afford, and the ammunition that had been stored for more than two years, especially the large-caliber shells, was almost exhausted, although he won the victory, but Zhang Xuewu also lost the ability to pursue and expand the results of the battle.

Zhang Xuewu's strategic purpose was to force Yue himself to choose to go north instead of south, because only in this way could China take back what belonged to itself from the hands of the red giant beast of Soviet Russia, but how easy was it to force Yue himself to go north? However, the premise is that the military maintains a certain degree of stability in the battlefield in China, and that its advance into Southeast Asia will inevitably be the enemy of Britain, the United States, France, and other countries, and that the enemy of Soviet Russia will not touch the interests of Britain and the United States, and that Britain and the United States will be happy to see it.

The most important thing is that Zhang Xuewu, with the assistance of the Soviets, has become a big problem for the Soviet side, and if Zhang Xuewu's department in the 10th theater is not solved, then the main force of his army will not be able to withdraw from the Chinese battlefield, so Zhang Xuewu believes that he must be in a hurry to reach a non-aggression neutrality pact with Soviet Russia, and the Soviet Russian side is also watching because of his urgency, and the final result is that his surname has been completely dragged out.

Zhang Xuewu, who was inspecting in Baotou, suddenly received a secret telegram intercepted by the intelligence department, and after deciphering it, Zhang Xuewu was stunned in surprise, saying that he was really crazy? Or that he really created an illusion for himself, that is, in order to defeat and eliminate the tenth theater, it is necessary to let the Soviets completely cut off the support to Rehe, Zhang Xuewu analyzed from his secret telegram, and said that he may be in a hurry to jump off the wall, mad dogs bite fools, and watch the excitement of bad luck!

What surprised Zhang Xuewu the most was that he was building the strongest defense line in Jinzhou in the Far East, but at the same time he was provoking Soviet Russia on the border?

In fact, it seems that he is extremely stupid, in fact, Zhang Xuewu knows that he himself is a very wise move, you must know that the negotiations between Yue himself and the Soviet side have been fruitless for a long time, so he himself jumped over the wall in a hurry and forced the Soviets to make a decision, the Great Empire has a surface ship formation of 2 million tons, and has an annual production capacity of 5,000 fighters, if the Ben comes with all his might, the Chinese side will definitely not be his opponent, and the Chinese can only play the role of constantly consuming himself.
