Xuzhou Garrison Command.

Liu Yi hurriedly entered the war room and said to Yue Weihan: "Brigade seat, the Pang Hu squad has just sent an urgent telegram, and the Tongshan Highway has found a brigade called the army, and the size of the force is about one division!" ”

Yue Weihan couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and said, "The little devil actually marched overnight? ”

"yes, it's a bit rare." Liu Yi said awe-inspiringly, "Since the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the little devils basically will not choose to march at night, but tonight is unusual, it seems that the 114th Division has received an order from the top of the army to storm the railway station at any cost." ”

Yue Weihan bowed his head slightly, thinking that Liu Yi was really becoming more and more like a chief of staff.

Liu Yi said again: "Brigade seat, if the 114th Division rushes to attack the railway station at any cost, the bayonet battalion is afraid that it will not be able to hold it, do you think you can urgently transfer a supplementary battalion over?" ”

"Nope." Yue Weihan shook his head and said coldly, "The defense of Xuzhou has just begun, if the bayonet battalion can't even resist this test, then it is not worthy of being called the iron fist of the Baoshan brigade, let alone the 'hard bones', the same reason, if the bayonet battalion can't hold it for even a day, then our Baoshan brigade can't hold it for half a month, and it will hang for three days!" ”

Liu Yi was silent, the situation can be described as dangerous and abnormal for the Baoshan Brigade, and its danger is not even below Jiangpu!

According to Yue Weihan's plan, the Baoshan Brigade must not only hold Xuzhou, but also severely damage the 114th Division, which was the first to attack, and, if possible, several heavy artillery brigades of the Yue Army, so as to arouse sufficient vigilance among the top leaders of the Yue Army, and firmly drag the heavy army group of the Yue Army near Xuzhou, so that the Yue Army will not dare to unscrupulously advance west along the Longhai Line!

But in this way, the Baoshan Brigade that strangled Xuzhou immediately became the target of public criticism, and the pressure can be imagined.

Yue Weihan said again: "Chief of Staff, you tell Li Yulong and Liu Fengsheng that the bayonet battalion has to show the momentum of hard bones, even if the sky falls, it has to be pushed back by Lao Tzu!" ”

"Yes!" Liu Yi snapped upright, and then turned away.

………… Wuhan camp, the war room of the General Staff.

The plot of the base camp of the army to attack Wuhan has already been revealed, and the deployment of the battle of Wuhan has also entered a critical juncture, and the life and death of the Baoshan Brigade in Xuzhou are undecided, so Chairman Chiang is unable to sleep all night, and he has been guarding the General Staff Headquarters all day and all night, constantly discussing the military situation with a cadre of [***] officers.

General Li and Deputy General Bai had already returned to Wuhan first, and they were also in the war room at this time.

He Yingqin, chief of the General Staff, held the command pole in his hand and was personally explaining to Chairman Jiang the situation of the enemy and us: "Commission, the general deployment of the army is now like this: the Second Army is near Shangqiu in northern Henan, the Fifth Army is along the line from Jining to Zaozhuang, the Seventh Army has just landed from Lianyungang, the Tenth Army is along the northern Anhui and the northern foot of the Dabie Mountain, and the Eleventh Army is still along the Suzhou-Shanghai-Nanjing line. ”

"As long as the Baoshan Brigade can hold Xuzhou, the Fifth, Seventh, Tenth, and Eleventh Armies of the Yue Army will not be able to quickly advance westward through the Longhai Line, and the Second Army near Shangqiu actually only has three divisions and regiments, and the other two divisions have not yet been deployed in place.

"As long as the Baoshan Brigade can hold Xuzhou for half a month, the 20 divisions deployed north of the Yellow River in our First Theater will be able to withdraw south in time, redeploy along the line from Zhengzhou to Xuchang, and completely protect the northern gateway of Wuhan, and the 38 elite divisions of the main force of our Fifth Theater will also withdraw south to Jianghan for redeployment."

"At this time, the three-line theory conceived by the commission will be completely formed!"

"In the Jianghan and Henan theaters, our army has gathered the strength of eighty-nine divisions, waiting for the army to come to fight a decisive battle with us, which is the core front, that is, the inner line; In addition, on the border of central Shandong and Sulu, there are two heavy army groups stationed in Sun Lianzhong and Yu Xuezhong, ready to cut off the supply line of the army at any time, which is the middle line; In addition, Pang Bingxun, Shi Yousan, Sun Dianying, and other units have already broken into pieces and penetrated deep into enemy-occupied areas to extensively carry out guerrilla warfare. ”

Whispers suddenly sounded in the war room, and all the [***] senior generals cast their admiration for Chairman Chiang, and General Li, who had always been at odds with Chairman Chiang, couldn't help but be a little impressed at this time.

Chairman Jiang couldn't help but feel a little feverish.

Chairman Rao Jiang has been involved in politics for many years, and his face has long been thicker than the city wall, and he does not feel a little hot at this time, because this three-line strategy is not his first initiative after all, but a complete copy of Yue Weihan's strategic vision.

General He sighed lightly after saying that: "However, there is a premise for all this, that is, the Baoshan Brigade must hold Xuzhou for at least half a month, if the Baoshan Brigade cannot hold Xuzhou, or if it does not hold for half a month, the main force of the First Theater north of the Yellow River will not be able to withdraw south in time to protect the north gate of Wuhan, and the main force of the Fifth Theater will not be able to return to Wuhan in time, and the five heavy army groups of the Yue Army will be able to quickly advance along the Longhai Line and the Pinghan Line, and they will be able to attack Wuhan within a few days!" ”

The entire war room suddenly became silent, and all the [***] officers looked solemn.

Although the Baoshan Brigade has an incomparably brilliant record, and in the Jiangpu battlefield, it even annihilated an elite brigade of the Yue Army with the strength of a regiment in an unprecedented way, but this time in Xuzhou, the Baoshan Brigade will face the five major heavy army groups of the Yue Army, that is, nearly 500,000 elite Yue troops of more than 20 divisions!

In the silence, Chairman Jiang's sonorous and powerful voice suddenly sounded: "I believe that Yue Weihan will not disappoint me, and the Baoshan Brigade will definitely be able to hold Xuzhou, and it will definitely be able to drop." ”

………… Xuzhou Railway Station, Bayonet Battalion Battalion Headquarters.

Li Yulong slowly got off the phone, his eyes suddenly became extremely hideous, and Liu Fengsheng, the battalion deputy who had been guarding beside him, asked eagerly: "Camp, what do you say?" ”

Li Yulong said in a cruel voice: "The counselor said that the little devil is rushing towards Xuzhou overnight with the strength of a division, and he is going to fight with us to see the situation." ”

"Dog's little devil, it's good to come!" Liu Fengsheng suddenly became excited, and said with a fist clasp, "The left and right are desperate, if you want to fight, you will fight hard, if you want me to say, one division is really fucking not fun, just the little devil will transfer two more divisions, one of our battalions will fight with the three divisions of the dog, and it will be worth fighting!" ”

"That's not easy!?" Li Yulong said fiercely, "Destroy the 66th Wing in front of you, and you're afraid that the little devil won't transfer more divisions?" Maybe even the little devil's heavy artillery brigade will be directly transferred up at that time, hehe, then you kid will know what a 150 caliber heavy howitzer is like. ”

Although Li Yulong's Sichuan voice sounds soft, there is a clear smell of blood in his bones.

"......Boom, whistle, whistle," Li Yulong's voice fell, and a piercing shrill shell roared over the headquarters of the bayonet battalion, and then there was an endless huge explosion, and even the ground under his feet began to tremble gently, and a large amount of dust fell straight down through the gap between the wooden planks, making Li Yulong and Liu Fengsheng disgraced.

"Camp, the little devils are attacking!" Liu Fengsheng immediately became excited, and his face was full of bloodthirst.

"Turtle son drops, Xiao Dongyang is in a hurry to reincarnate." Li Yulong smiled cruelly, and immediately turned his head and shouted, "1 company gathers!" ”

The 1st Company is the elite company of the bayonet battalion, Li Yulong placed the 2nd and 3rd companies in front of the position, but left the 1st Company, which is the most capable of fighting, in the battalion headquarters, just for the counter-assault at the critical moment, Ye Xiaoxian, the guard platoon commander next to him, immediately said puzzled: "The battalion seat, the time limit given by the brigade seat is three days, and the reserves will be used on this first day?" ”

"What do you kid know?" Li Yulong said, "The little devil's infantry is easy to deal with, the tank is nothing, but the little devil's artillery is not easy to deal with, a 105 caliber grenade falls, and it is a piece when it explodes, so you have to kill the little devil's field artillery group first, and then turn back to clean up their infantry!" ”

Ye Xiaoxian snapped forward and said, "Camp, I'll take the guards to line up, and I will ensure that the task is completed!" ”

"No, you kid is a good fighter, but now it's a little tender!" Li Yulong patted Ye Xiaoxian's shoulder again and said, "So this time I have to let 1 connect!" ”

With that, Li Yulong turned around and was about to walk out of the camp headquarters.

Liu Fengsheng, the deputy of the battalion, suddenly took two steps forward and blocked Li Yulong, and said, "Camp seat, isn't it just to blow up a few cannons?" I don't need you to go out in person, I'll just take 1 company with me! ”

Li Yulong frowned at first, then nodded and said, "Then you be careful." ”

Liu Fengsheng said angrily: "Yingzuo, don't worry, he won't dare to accept me if I don't kill the little devil Hades." ”

After saying that, Liu Fengsheng turned around and walked out of the camp headquarters, and yelled: "Yilian, go with Lao Tzu!" ”

Liu Fengsheng took the officers and soldiers of the 1st Company to the exit of the underground bunker and stopped, the shelling of the little devils continued, at this time with the officers and soldiers through the blockade line of artillery fire is undoubtedly to death, Liu Fengsheng is also a veteran of a hundred battles, of course he will not make such a stupid and low-level mistake.

Half an hour later, the artillery bombardment stopped, and about two brigades of infantry were immediately dispatched, divided into four routes, under the cover and guidance of six tanks, and took advantage of the darkness to launch a strong attack on the Xuzhou railway station.

After a few rows of guns, the two armies with bayonets were in a battle.

Due to the extremely sudden attack of the bayonet battalion, and the Yue army pushed the attack line too far, the two armies had already collided head-on in the blink of an eye, so whether it was the light and heavy machine guns of the Yue army, or the light and heavy machine guns of [***], they had no time to suppress the fire, but could only watch the infantry of the two armies launch a tragic white-edged stab.

The most tragic thing is that the tank that was leading and covering in front was overwhelmed by the crowd of [***], the 37mm main gun on the combat vehicle was blown up and bent after only two shots, and the front and rear machine guns were directly smashed by the officers and soldiers of the bayonet battalion with the butts of the guns, and the single tank that lost the protection of the infantry immediately became a moving steel grave.
