"Later?" Deng Baoguang rolled his eyes, and said angrily, "I almost didn't pick my old platoon leader." ”

"What?" Ye Xiaoxian lost his voice and said, "Didn't you go back and kill the devil, why did you pick your platoon leader?" ”

"Because the devil is the platoon commander, they are the veterans of the Baoshan battalion, and they are the little devils who dare to follow us behind their butts for three days and three nights." After nearly half a year, Deng Baoguang is still indignant when he talks about this paragraph, because the memory of those three days is too painful.

"Who thought of this trick?" Ye Xiao said first, "This is too bad, isn't it?" ”

"Brother, you're really kind." Deng Baoguang couldn't help but give a thumbs up and said, "Dare to say that the brigade seat is damaged, you are really the first one, even our group seat doesn't dare to say that." ”

"Ah, did the brigade do that?" Ye Xiaoxian's face was full of disbelief.

"How else can we make a group of routed soldiers who have just escaped from the concentration camp march for three days and three nights?" Deng Baoguang didn't have a good breath, "Try it for you?" ”

Ye Xiaoxian scratched his head and stopped talking.

Seeing that Ye Xiaoxian was still a little nervous, Deng Baoguang said again: "Deputy Ye Pai, have you ever seen the scene of a bullet passing through your head?" ”

Ye Xiaoxian's face suddenly turned a little pale, and the faces of the other dozen or so recruits who joined the army at the same time as Ye Xiaoxian were not very good-looking, and two of the timid ones began to tremble in their legs.

Deng Baoguang became more and more shocking the more he spoke: "Let me tell you, when the bullet passes through a person's head, this good head melon seeds are like a smashed watermelon, all broken, what brains, brains, livers, and blood are all like smashed watermelons, squirting out more than ten meters away, that miserable ......."

There was no trace of blood on the faces of Ye Xiaoxian and more than a dozen recruits.

"That's not even the worst of it." Deng Baoguang said, "The worst thing is that I was directly hit by the devil's howitzer, and at that time you will find that you suddenly flew up, and when you fly, you find that you are a guy below the waist, what legs, feet, eggs, etc., all of them are gone." ”

"After landing, hey, you won't die immediately, at least you have to howl seventeen or eighteen, and it hurts to die again, it's like rolling into the oil pot and going back and forth for seventeen or eighteen, at that time, you will know that death is actually a kind of enjoyment, really, I don't lie to you, that's what the old platoon commander told me before he died."

"Platoon leader, how did the old platoon leader die?" Ye Xiaoxian's face recovered, and the more Deng Baoguang spoke, the more terrifying it became, but Ye Xiaoxian didn't seem to be so nervous.

Deng Baoguang immediately fell silent, and his face darkened.

Seeing that the platoon commander's face was cloudy and turned cloudy, and the dozen or so recruits next to him quickly scattered when they saw this, Ye Xiaoxian also picked up the flower trap at his feet and began to wipe it carefully.

………… In Xuzhou City, Baoshan Brigade Department.

In the sound of hurried footsteps, Yue Weihan, who was straight, had already strode into the telecommunications room surrounded by Tang Dashan and Chu Zhongtian, including the major captain Liu Xin, all the female soldiers of the telecommunications team hurriedly got up and stood upright, the Baoshan Brigade is really normalized now, and the telecommunications team is all beautiful female soldiers, and they are all big girls in their twenties.

Major Liu Xin twisted his slender waist to meet Yue Weihan, stood up and saluted, "Brigade seat." ”

Yue Weihan nodded, and said: "Immediately electrify the world in clear code, and within half a month, Kou Xiu wants to step into Xuzhou for half a step!" ”

"Yes!" Major Liu Xin replied loudly very simply, and immediately turned his head to the female operator next to him, "Immediately send out the brigade's speech in clear code." ”

The telecommunications equipment of the Baoshan Brigade has been replaced with high-power radio stations, and its coverage has expanded from the initial several hundred kilometers to every corner of the world.

In doing so, Yue Weihan was actually writing a war letter to the Yue army and attracting the attention of the Yue army to Xuzhou.

Xuzhou is located at the intersection of the Longhai Railway and the Jinpu Railway, and its strategic location is indeed important, if the army does not completely occupy Xuzhou and completely open up the Jinpu Railway and the Longhai Line, then attacking Henan to the west and even attacking Wuhan to the south is empty talk, and strategically speaking, there is almost no possibility of realization.

However, Yue Weihan was worried that the army would "rush forward" because of a misjudgment of the situation.

Because after the Yue army found that the main force had withdrawn south from Dabie Mountain, it would take it for granted that Xuzhou had become something in their pocket, and they would no longer consider the issue of occupying Xuzhou, let alone the issue of opening up the Longhai Line and the Tianjin-Pudong Railway.

At this time, hundreds of thousands of elite troops were still circling in the Dabie Mountains, and the main force of Cheng Qian's first theater was still confronting the North China Front Army of the Yue Army in the northern section of the Pinghan Line, and there was no time to divide troops to defend Wuhan, and it was absolutely impossible to stop the Yue Army with only a dozen new divisions of the Wuhan Garrison Command.

Therefore, Yue Weihan was even more worried that the "rash advance" of the Yue army would lead to the consequences of disaster.

In view of this, Yue Weihan felt that it was necessary to take the initiative to "point" the consequences of the "rash advance" of the Yue army, which was that your heavy army group might be able to attack the city of Wuhan, but before Xuzhou was completely occupied, your ammunition supplies would not be able to be delivered to the front line in time, in other words, even if the army occupied Wuhan, it was very likely that the whole army would be wiped out because of the exhaustion of ammunition and food!

In the final analysis, modern warfare is all about logistics, and without solid logistical support, the army is also vulnerable!

………… Tokyo, Headquarters of the General Staff of the Base Camp.

The deputy chief of staff, Ishihara Wan'er, walked into the office of the chief of staff, Xianyuan Gong Zairen, with a stern expression, and immediately closed his feet and said, "Your Royal Highness, are you looking for a humble position?" ”

Xianyuan Gong Zairen raised the telegram in his hand and said, "Ishihara-kun, what's going on?" ”

Xianyuan Gong Zairen was in a very bad mood, the empire mobilized twenty reserve divisions, and issued a large number of national bonds, so that there were enough troops and financial resources to launch this unprecedented scale of the Battle of Xuzhou, I thought that I could completely annihilate the main force of the [***] team in one battle and force the national political axe to surrender, but I didn't expect it to be the result now.

The Battle of Xuzhou not only failed to completely annihilate the main force of the [***] team, but also did not even take the strategic point of Xuzhou!

As a result, the Western countries have repeatedly belittled and humiliated the Imperial Empire, which has aroused great dissatisfaction with His Majesty the Emperor.

"Hello." Ishihara Wan'er bowed his head and said, "His Royal Highness, the lowly and incompetent, the long-planned battle of Xuzhou failed to overcome the full success, and actually let the main force of the Xuzhou battlefield escape, and asked the staff headquarters to give punishment, but the opportunity to force the political axe of the Chinese to surrender through the decisive battle was not completely lost. ”

"Huh?" Xianyuan Gong Zairen said, "Specifically? ”

Ishihara Wan'er handed the folder in his hand to the case of Xianyuan Palace Zairen, and said, "Your Royal Highness, this is the plan for the battle of Wuhan that the General Staff Headquarters has just formulated. ”

When the Xianyuan Gong Zairen opened the folder, Ishihara Wan'er said again: "Although the battle of Xuzhou failed to completely annihilate the main force of China, it also forced the main force of China gathered on the battlefield of Xuzhou to scatter birds and beasts, one into the Luzhong Mountains, one into the Sulu border, and one into the Dabie Mountains on the border of Hubei and Anhui. ”

Xianyuan Gong Zairen's heart suddenly moved, if he could really capture Wuhan, maybe he could really force the Chinese political axe to surrender.

Xianyuan Gong Zairen did not rush to read the document, and asked: "Ishihara-kun, has the General Staff Headquarters seriously demonstrated the feasible surname for the Battle of Wuhan?" What are the chances of winning the battle of Wuhan? How likely is it that the political axe of China will surrender after the victory? If the Battle of Wuhan is lost, what will be the impact on the empire? ”

Ishihara said respectfully: "Your Royal Highness, the staff headquarters you mentioned have been carefully demonstrated, and the final conclusion is that with the troops mobilized by the empire this time and the financial resources raised from the issuance of treasury bonds, it is enough to support a large-scale offensive operation for half a year, while it will only take half a month to capture Wuhan and force the political axe of China to surrender. ”

"Half a month." Xianyuan Gong Zairen frowned and said, "Ishihara-kun, is the staff headquarters too optimistic?" If you can't capture Xuzhou and open up the Longhai line and the Jinpu line, the greater the results of the imperial army, the wider the territory occupied, the more serious the crisis it will face, have you ever thought about this? ”

Ishihara said confidently: "Your Royal Highness, Xuzhou is not a problem, you can take it in three days at most!" ”

Xianyuan Gong Zairen frowned and pondered for a moment and said: "Ishihara-kun, this time in Germany I heard some rumors, it is said that there are German and French military advisers who have proposed to the leader of China to dig the Yellow River embankment and block the advance of the imperial army with the flooding of the Yellow River. ”

Ishihara said: "Your Royal Highness, this staff headquarters has also been carefully studied, and the conclusion is that the political axe of China will not easily dig the embankment of the Yellow River, because it will greatly hurt the identity of the entire national government of China, if Jiang really does this, it will undoubtedly help the empire a lot." ”

"Yo Si." Xianyuan Gong Zairen said, "Then execute it." ”

"Hello." Ishihara bowed his head abruptly and said, "Thank you, Your Royal Highness, for your support." ”

Hurriedly returning to his office, Ishihara Waner said to Kotachihara Kuro, the chief of operations of the General Staff Headquarters: "Kotachihara-kun, immediately start to reorganize the Central China Front, still with Shunroku Hata as the headquarters, the commander of the front-line command post of the base camp sent to the headquarters of the Commander Okabe Naosaburo to be transferred to the chief of staff of the Front Army, and the Central China Front Army will command the Shanghai Dispatch Army, the Fifth, Seventh, Tenth, and Eleventh Armies a total of 25 divisions, and the Second Army of the North China Front Army will also work together, and the combat mission of the Central China Front Army is to seize Wuhan and seek an opportunity to annihilate the support of the China Armyand finally forced the political axe of China to surrender! ”
