Chen Geng's strategy invites you into the urn

"Commander, good news, Commander Li has just sent good news: After more than an hour of bloody fighting, the special operations battalion, with the cooperation of the commander of the 1st Regiment of the 15th Division of the Imperial Cooperative Army, has successfully taken down the enemy's radio station and code book and wiped out all the defenders in the Taierzhuang area. At present, the commander of the special operations battalion, Battalion Wang, is rushing to the headquarters with a radio station and a code book...."Holding the good news he had just received in his hand, he complained to the commander in front of him about Chen Geng. Chief of Staff Han Liancheng reported excitedly.

"Great, God help me. Lao Han, with the codebook and the little devil's radio station, our plan has achieved the most important step. In addition to the telegram, does Li Degui have any other reports...."Chen Geng's face was also shrouded in a thick smile for the first time, and he continued to ask the chief of staff in front of him with an expectant expression.

"Yes, Commander Li also reported that during the entire battle, we not only completely annihilated a garrison brigade of the Japanese army, but also captured more than 1,100 little devils, and captured a large amount of weapons and equipment. More importantly, the Imperial Allied Army, which successfully captured more than 3,000 people. By the time the good news was sent, Li Degui's unit had successfully mobilized more than 2,600 prisoners to join our army through political work. In other words, in Li Degui's hands, there is another main force regiment...."Chief of Staff Han Liancheng reported.

"This Li Degui, the speed of expansion is still the same as before, no one can compare to him. Immediately send a telegram back to Li Degui, as long as it does not exceed the establishment given to him by the commander-in-chief, I absolutely don't care how he wants to expand the number. However, in any case, it is important to ensure the safety of these recruits. At the same time, tell Li Degui to leave one battalion to defend Taierzhuang, and the rest of the troops will be assembled immediately and wait for a new combat mission...."Commander Chen Geng couldn't help but laugh and scold. Then, very decisively ordered.

In the direction of Xuzhou, on the highway about 100 kilometers away from Taierzhuang, more than 5,000 people from an independent garrison brigade of the Central China Front of the Japanese Army, plus three divisions of the Imperial Cooperation Army, totaling 18,000 people, marched slowly on the highway like a yellow dragon several kilometers long, advancing towards Taierzhuang, the target of their reinforcements....'

Major General Kaohsiung, commander of the Xuzhou Independent Garrison Brigade of the Central China Front, was the highest-ranking Japanese officer in the entire reinforcement force. At this moment, there is no doubt that he has been appointed as the supreme commander of this seemingly 'powerful' reinforcement force of more than 18,000 men.

At this moment, Lieutenant General Kaohsiung was leisurely riding on his war horse, looking at his side excitedly, stretching for several kilometers, with no end in sight. As for his side, the three major generals and division commanders of the Imperial Allied Army, plus the chief of staff of the independent brigade, the four of them were talking about something with a flattering face.

"Your Excellency Brigade Commander, there are more than 18,000 troops stationed in Taierzhuang, plus Your Excellency the Brigade Commander, your wise command. I believe that the entire Taierzhuang will be impregnable. As long as the people of China dare to attack, the entire Taierzhuang will definitely become the grave of the people of China..."Thinking of his reinforcement goals and combat goals this time, the chief of staff complimented with a smile on his face.

"Your Excellency Chief of Staff is right, with your wise command Your Excellency the Brigade Commander, we will definitely be able to win this battle...."As soon as the Chief of Staff's voice fell, the three division commanders of the Imperial Cooperative Army, who also carried the rank of major general on their shoulders, but in front of people, they were always inferior, and hurriedly said with a smile on their faces.

"Yo Xi...."For the compliments of his subordinates, Major General Kaohsiung was obviously very useful, and nodded with satisfaction.

After all, as a major general, he has always served as a senior staff member in the domestic staff headquarters, and he looks very beautiful. However, in terms of its influence, it is not as good as a large Zuo wing captain in the army. At this moment, he finally got his wish, and for various reasons, he was sent to serve as the brigade commander.

Although, at this moment, he is just the brigade commander of a local garrison brigade. However, he, who has always dreamed of leading troops, is already very satisfied with this result. And today, with the order of the Central China Front, the strength of his own troops has jumped from 5,000 at the beginning to more than 18,000 now, which has to make Major General Kaohsiung rush to Jī and excited.

Therefore, under the influence of this pleasant mood. Originally, he had always been very bored and disliked by the three commanders of the Imperial Cooperative Army. Today, after hearing the flattery of the three again, I didn't feel any discomfort, but was very comfortable...., "Everyone, if you want to successfully defend Taierzhuang under the attack of the ** army of China, it is impossible to achieve it with my ability alone. Therefore, I hope that in future operations, you will be able to work with me to accomplish the combat tasks assigned to us by the Central China Front Command..."Major General Kaohsiung said with a smile on his face.

"Hayi, please rest assured that Your Excellency the Brigade Commander...."

As soon as the words of the four people fell, a rapid sound of horses' hooves reached everyone's ears. On the road, a cavalry communicator galloped quickly towards the location of several people.

"Your Excellency the Brigade Commander, the Central China Front Headquarters has an urgent telegram...."As he spoke, the cavalry correspondent quickly took out a telegram from the document bag on his waist despite his exhaustion, handed it to Major General Kaohsiung with a suspicious face in front of him, and waited for the response of the Major General Brigade Commander....

"Eight Ge Yalu, the cunning people of China, actually adopted the strategy of attacking the east and the west... Call back to His Excellency the Commander immediately, the Xuzhou Independent Garrison Brigade and all the reinforcements will ensure that the task will be completed and the ** troops of China will be blocked out of Jiangsu..."Frowning his brows, Lieutenant General Kaohsiung ordered with a serious face.

"Hayi, Your Excellency Commander...."

Looking at the cavalry correspondent who was leaving quickly, the eyes of several people, almost immediately, converged on the silent brigade commander in front of the telegram in the hands of Major General Kaohsiung, and the chief of staff who followed closely beside Major General Kaohsiung first asked.

"Your Excellency Brigade Commander, what's wrong...."

"The cunning Shina people have given us a blow. According to the telegram just sent by the captain of the Taierzhuang garrison brigade, there are less than two regiments of Zhina troops in the entire Taierzhuang area. With the existing garrison troops in Taierzhuang, it can completely block the enemy's offensive. However, in Xinyi County, which is about 20 kilometers away from Taierzhuang, there are signs of large-scale activities of the Chinese troops. The Central China Front Command demanded that we immediately abandon the reinforcement of Taierzhuang. Then, advance at full speed, reinforce Xinyi County, and hold Xinyi County...."Major General Kaohsiung, the brigade commander, replied with an unhappy face.

"Your Excellency Brigade Commander, in this sortie, we must completely annihilate this cunning Chinese troops..."

"Well, now is not the time to get jailed. The headquarters asked us to rush to Xinyi County before dark. Now, time is running out for us. The order went down, and the troops accelerated their march, the target, Xinyi County...."Major General Kaohsiung decisively interrupted several division commanders of the Imperial Association Army who still wanted to continue to pat on the back, and ordered with a serious face.

In the town of Tiefu Town, less than 20 kilometers away from Taierzhuang, the headquarters of the former Imperial Allied Army Company, at this moment, under the transformation of nearly 100 guards and engineers, has become a high-level headquarters with strict garrison, complete equipment and many antennas. And this command is the temporary headquarters of Commander Chen Geng of the Sixth Corps of the East China Field Army.

At this moment, Commander Chen Geng, as the commander-in-chief of the campaign, was standing in front of the map with a pensive face, listening to Han Liancheng, the chief of staff beside him, reporting that he had changed the direction of the march according to the telegram he had sent, and quickly moved towards the encirclement he had prepared, the specific situation of the puppet army for more than 18,000 days....

"Commander, according to the reports of the scouts along the way, the Japanese puppet reinforcements have temporarily changed the route of the march in accordance with the telegram we sent, and quickly inserted themselves directly into Xinyi County. Judging by the current marching speed of the reinforcements of the Japanese puppet army, it will take at most five hours to reach our ambush position and enter the ambush circle...."

"It's called inviting you into the urn... As long as we can defeat more than 10,000 reinforcements from the direction of Xuzhou through this battle, the entire city of Xuzhou will be at our fingertips. When the time comes, we will not only be able to successfully complete the combat mission assigned to us by the commander-in-chief. What's more, the total strength of the troops will also be at least doubled because of this battle...."Commander Chen Geng said with a look on his face.

"Old Han, according to the orders of the headquarters, have the various combat units been successfully moved in place?" After a short period of movement, Commander Chen Geng pointed to the combat map in front of him and asked.

"According to the order of the headquarters, the nine main regiments of the 17th Army have all moved to nine villages including Wangjiatang, Zhengchun Village, and Linshu Village.

"The nine main regiments of the Eighteenth Army, all in place with the sunshine, are waiting for the arrival of the Japanese puppet army. It's just that the regiment to which the Sixteenth Army belongs, because of the march, has not yet been fully in place. However, after two hours, these nine regiments will be fully in place, and they will be assigned the task of blocking the head and cutting the tail....", Chief of Staff Han Liancheng replied.

"Did the engineer battalion blow up the Yihe Bridge and cut off the passage for the Japanese army to cross the river according to the order of the headquarters?" Chen Geng continued to ask.

"Half an hour ago, the Yihe Bridge had been successfully destroyed. As long as the Japanese army enters the ambush circle, I guarantee that they will definitely be unable to escape, please rest assured, commander..."Han Liancheng assured with a confident face.

"Then we'll sit here and wait for the little devils to enter the urn....and then, we'll give them another dog beating...."
