Tatsuo Takatoshi walked quickly to Fujita Jin, the commander of the 3rd Division, and suddenly closed his feet and saluted, and reported in a solemn tone: "General, there is a call from the front, our fifth attack has failed again. ”

"What?" Fujita Jin's face became extremely ugly in an instant, and he slapped the conference table in front of him angrily: "Yaga ......"

Several other commanders of the division also looked at each other and sighed, and for a time the entire joint command headquarters sighed endlessly.

"Gentlemen, please be quiet." Fujita Jin waved his hand impatiently and shouted loudly.

Because the front-line command of this operation is in the hands of Fujita Jin, and Fujita Jin's 3rd Division is also one of the most elite divisions of the Imperial Army, and he himself is also quite senior, the entire Central China Front Army except for the former commander of the 9th Division, Ji Jia Ryosuke, and the 6th Division Gu Shoufu, no one can compare with him, Ji Jia Liangsuke suffered a big loss under Qiao Anbang last time, a well-equipped, large number of A divisions, the whole army was annihilated, although the Ninth Division was reorganized, but Ji Jia Liangsuke himself has lost the prestige and status of the past.

Therefore, when Fujita stopped coming and going, everyone present became silent, and their eyes were all focused on Fujita Jin.

Fujita Susumu ignored everyone's inquiring gazes, and raised his hand to Takasu Tatsuo, the chief of staff in front of him, who wanted to speak and stopped, and said, "Tahata-kun, what else is the situation?" Let's talk about it together. ”

"Returning to Your Excellency General, all field wings on the front line have reported that their reserve ammunition is running out, and if they continue to fight like this, they will not be able to hit Yingzhou at all, and the imperial army will run out of ammunition and food, and even the thirty-mile defense line of the Zhinamen will not be able to break through!" Takasu replied with a bitter face.

As soon as Tian Jiu Lixiong's words came out, the expressions of the generals of the Yue army present became very solemn, and they naturally knew better than anyone else the situation of their respective divisions and regiments, and the lack of logistics supplies caused the amount of materials that their divisions and regiments could receive plummeting.

Without food, the devils can still starve and endure for a few days, but without ammunition, the heroic imperial warriors can't take bayonets to attack the tiger army armed to the teeth, right? Especially after fighting with the Tiger Army, the senior generals of the Yue Army have lost confidence in their proud white-knuckle stabbing battle.

"Fujita-kun, I suggest that we divide our troops." Ryosuke Yoshika, who had been silent, suddenly stood up and said.

"Huh?" Fujita Jin looked Ji Jia Ryosuke up and down when he heard this, from the bottom of his heart, Fujita Jin still respects Ji Jia Liang Fu very much, after all, they are comrades in arms for many years, although Ji Jia Liang Fu suffered huge losses in the last Huainan War, and his reputation was ruined here, but it does not mean that Ji Jia Liang is useless.

The analysis of the causes and consequences of the Huainan Battle is mainly due to the fact that the imperial army does not know enough about the Tiger Ben Army and is too careless, and it is precisely with the lessons of the Huainan Battle that the imperial army can learn lessons in future wars, sum up experience, and wait for another battle.

After a while, Fujita Shin gestured to Ji Jia Ryosuke: "Ji Jiajun, please speak." ”

"Fujita-kun, the current predicament faced by the imperial army, I think everyone knows it, I won't say more, now, because the logistics supply line has been repeatedly destroyed by the Chinese people, our ammunition, supplies are seriously insufficient, lack of continuous offensive capabilities, I think we should not be in the thirty miles of the people of the stubborn stumbling, their logistics supplies are sufficient, morale is booming, plus well-equipped and strong air force to cooperate with the operation, so, I suggest, we should divide our troops to bypass the frontal battlefield of the thirty miles, and attack Yingzhou in a roundabout way." Ryosuke Ji Jia calmly said his opinion.

As soon as his words fell, and the other generals were still considering whether it was feasible or not, a rush of footsteps sounded outside the joint command headquarters.

Everyone, including Yoshika Ryosuke, turned their heads to look when they heard the sound, only to see a communications lieutenant walking in with a panicked expression in his hand, and before he came to the front, he reported in a panicked tone: "Generals, the headquarters of the front army is in an emergency. ”

"Huh?" Ji Jia Ryosuke immediately stepped forward and stretched out his hand to take the telegram, and read it out in a deep voice while reading it: "The emergency telegram from the headquarters and the emergency battle situation report of the North China Front Army Headquarters; Last night, the 20th Division of the Imperial Army and the 108th Division of the Imperial Army, which was surrounded by heavy troops of the China Army, were successively besieged by the heavy troops of the China Army, and the whole army was annihilated. In September of the 13th year of the Showa era, the Commander-in-Chief of the Central China Front was dispatched by General Shunroku Hatata. (Showa 13 years that is, the twenty-seventh year of the Republic of China, 1938) Ji Jia Liangsuke read the telegram in a heavy tone, and then handed it to Fujita Jin, after everyone listened, their faces were full of shock, and the two divisions were completely annihilated by the Tiger Army, and it was carried out under the situation of the two major strategic front armies of the Imperial Army.

Fujita Jin quickly read the telegram, handed it to the others, and said solemnly: "Gentlemen, the matter has come to this, and the military order is like a mountain, I have decided to immediately adopt Ji Jiajun's suggestion and divide the troops to attack in a roundabout way." ”

With that, Fujita Susumu got up and walked towards the map hanging on the wall, and Ryosuke Yoshika got up and followed, and everyone began to discuss specific actions.

……………………………………………………………… South of Xuzhou, five kilometers away, Yangzhuang Village along the railway.

A few minutes ago, a skirmish broke out here, and since it was located along the railway line and adjacent to Xuzhou, the devils had deployed half an infantry squad here.

When the armored regiment of the forward unit of the Tiger Ben Army arrived here along the railway, a battle broke out, and twenty or thirty devils tried to rely on the strong pillboxes and turrets to resist stubbornly, but such an obviously asymmetrical battle soon ended in a way that the devil soldiers did not dare to imagine.

The more than 10 No. 4 tanks of the Tiger Ben Army did not even open fire, but used combat vehicles weighing 20 tons to take turns to ram the devils' pillboxes and turrets, directly burying most of the devils alive, and the few devils who escaped were also crushed into pulp by the tank group.

When Qiao Anbang led the follow-up main force to arrive here, the first armored regiment had already gone in the direction of Xuzhou.

After getting out of the armored car, Qiao Anbang, accompanied by Wang Gensheng, commander of the guard regiment, Li Yifeng, commander of the 1st Division, Xie Jinyuan, Liang Jiahan, and others inspected Yangzhuang Village.

"You say, how about having our headquarters here?" Qiao Anbang asked as he walked back.

"This place is less than ten miles away from Xuzhou City, and it is convenient for the headquarters to command the troops here." Xie Jinyuan was the first to speak.

"Well, Brigadier Xie is right. Li Yifeng nodded in agreement, then turned to Qiao Anbang and said: "Junzuo, you can sit here and command, and lead a division to attack and guarantee to take Xuzhou City." ”

Qiao Anbang nodded behind his back, and did not forget to instruct: "Don't be too careless, the reinforcements are desperately rushing back for reinforcements, and we must capture Xuzhou City as soon as possible, otherwise this roundabout operation may fail." ”

"Yes! The humble duty understands, please rest assured. Li Yifeng immediately nodded solemnly.

"Alright, the headquarters is here." Qiao Anbang said this, and said to Xie Jinyuan: "Big brother, the troops are handed over to Yifeng to personally command, and you can stay with me to sit in the command." ”

"Okay." Xie Jinyuan nodded without the slightest hesitation.

"Throne, retire!" Li Yifeng snapped up and stood up in salute. As Qiao Anbang waved his hand, Huo Ran turned around and strode away.

"Adjutant Liang, notify the signal corps, quickly set up a radio station, Gensheng, and the guard regiment is responsible for the security work of the headquarters." After seeing Li Yifeng leave, Qiao Anbang instructed Liang Jiahan and Wang Gensheng again.

"Yes!" Wang Gensheng and Liang Jiahan stepped forward at the same time, and after Liang Jiahan took the lead in leaving, Wang Gensheng said: "I will arrange for each battalion to build fortifications." After saying that, he strode away.

…………………………………………………… On the north bank of the Xinbian River, with the active retreat of the Yue army, the 6th and 7th divisions of the Huben Army that stuck to the south bank of the Xinbian River and Xiangcheng were dispatched one after another, crossed the Xinbian River, and launched a full pursuit of the retreating Yue army.

At the same time, the units of the Fifth Theater that had retreated to the Henan border also joined forces with Chiang's Fifth Division and launched a pursuit attack on the 14th and 10th Divisions of the Japanese Army.

After being pursued, the Yue army that wanted to withdraw to Xuzhou was forced to turn around and fight, and for a time, hundreds of thousands of troops on the entire Henan-Anhui-Soviet border for hundreds of miles on the battlefield between China and the Soviet Union once again launched a fierce melee.

The army was anxious to return to Xuzhou, and the troops of the Fifth Theater learned that the Tiger Army had annihilated two divisions of the Yue Army in a row and was counterattacking Xuzhou, and their morale was greatly boosted, and the 5th, 6th, and 7th units of the Tiger Ben Army were ordered by Qiao Anbang to contain the Yue Army at all costs.

In order to ensure Xuzhou, the army began to send troops from Lunan and other places to reinforce Xuzhou, and in order to put pressure on the army and respond to the Xuzhou battlefield, the second theater [***] troops in Shandong and Shanxi and the Eighth Route Army also launched an active attack on the army, and the war soon burned throughout North China.
