The eastern suburbs of Xuzhou, the station of Baoshan Brigade.

The three special combat team members who came out of the queue had already been knocked to the ground by the young man, but it was Tang Dashan who appeared this time.

"Hah!" Tang Dashan roared, and a whip leg viciously slapped the young man's left cheek, but Tang Dashan's whip leg was obtained from Yue Weihan's true biography, and there was no longer a hand, and the special combat team members who were watching next to him suddenly changed their faces, thinking that if Captain Tang sacrificed this whip leg just now, most of them would not be able to take it.

The young man laughed suddenly, and immediately threw out the same whip leg, but the latter first swept at the root of Tang Dashan's right leg, only to hear a muffled sound, Tang Dashan suddenly couldn't stand on his feet, and the whole person flew up suddenly, and threw back more than ten meters away, and then fell heavily to the ground.

Yue Weihan's eyes suddenly lit up, if he wanted to kick a big man like Tang Dashan, who was more than two meters tall and weighed more than two hundred pounds, so far away, how much leg and foot strength would it have? And this man, whether it is the angle, strength, or timing of his legs, he has grasped it just right, obviously, this is a real practitioner!

"Good skills!" Yue Weihan applauded, "What's your name?" ”

The young man shook his hand and said, "My name is Chu Zhongtian." ”

"Okay." Yue Weihan said happily, "From now on, you will follow me and give me a police guard." ”

"I don't." The young man refused without thinking, "I want to work in the special combat team, and the special combat team has fifty ocean collars." ”

"Uh......" Yue Weihan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he didn't have a good breath, "If you give me a police guard, I'll give you another fifty oceans, what's the matter?" ”

"Medium." The young man nodded and said, "But I'll be fifty." ”

Yue Weihan waved his hand, and a soldier had already brought a letter of Xian Dayang.

Chu Zhongtian took over Xian Dayang and said happily: "Sir, I'll go back to grab the medicine first, and then settle the old lady, and then I'll come to you when I turn around, what kind of guard are you doing, what's the matter?" ”

"Done." Yue Weihan said, "Go ahead." ”

"Whoa." Chu Zhongtian agreed, put Xian Dayang into his bag and walked away happily.

Liu Tiezhu said: "Luzao, just let him go like this?" What if this kid doesn't come back? ”

"He'll be back." Yue Weihan smiled, "With such good skills as him, if he is a little bad-hearted, how can he not get fifty oceans and use our Baoshan Brigade to apply?" ”

"That's right." Liu Tiezhu scratched his head and said, "But this kid's skills are good." ”

Yue Weihan said: "This kid is very good, but for the time being, he is not suitable to join the special combat team, you will now follow my requirements, train these eighteen team members for me well, and mention what you want, but I said ugly things ahead, but when it was time to use you, I pulled Lao Tzu's hind legs, Lao Tzu wants you to look good." ”

"Yes." Liu Tiezhu stood upright and said loudly, "Don't worry." ”

Yue Weihan snorted and walked away with a limping Tang Dashan.

………… Nanjing, the headquarters of the Central China Front.

Major General Tsukada Tsuka, Chief of Staff of the Front Army, hurriedly walked into Matsui Shigen's office and said angrily: "Your Excellency, Your Excellency, Ogisu Libing sent an urgent telegram from western Anhui, and the contact with Miss Yuko was suddenly cut off!" ”

Until now, the Central China Army did not know that the Baoshan Regiment had gone north to Xuzhou, and the 13th Division of the Ogizhou Libing Army and the 18th Division of Nakajima Sadao were still circling in the mountains of western Anhui, and the high-level of the Central China Front Army was still looking forward to being able to lure out the main forces of eastern Hubei and northern Jiangxi and gather to annihilate them.

Speaking of which, the little devils also believe too much in their ace agent Yuko Kawashima.

After listening to this, Matsui Ishine looked indifferent, and then handed a telegram in front of him to Tsukada Attack.

Tsukada took the telegram and hurriedly read it, and then his face changed, and he said: "The 5th and 10th divisions have fallen into the heavy encirclement of the Shina Army in the Lushan area? This ......"

Matsui Shigen sighed and said, "Tsukada-kun, we were all tricked by the Shina people. ”

Tsukada was awe-inspiring, he had vaguely guessed what was going on, but he couldn't believe it was true.

Matsui Shigen said: "Just now Sato-kun reported that the special high class has deciphered the cipher code of the Shina people, as early as four days ago, the Baoshan Regiment had secretly arrived in Xuzhou and expanded into the Baoshan Brigade, all the way to guide the 13th Division and the 18th Division in the mountains of western Anhui, it was just a small unit of the Baoshan Regiment. ”

"This ......" Tsukada said in a lost voice, "Miss Yuko, she ......"

"Yuko Kawashima?" Matsui Shigen sighed, and said regretfully, "I'm afraid it's already broken." ”

Tsukada said urgently: "Your Excellency, the situation of the 5th and 10th divisions is not good, do you want to order the Ogizhou Division and the Nakajima Division to immediately turn north and flank Xuzhou?" ”

"That's not what I should be thinking about." Matsui Shigen waved his hand and said, "The base camp has called, I will return to China to report on my work, the post of commander of the Central China Front will be taken over by His Excellency Shunroku Hatata, at noon today, His Excellency Shunroku Hata will fly to Shanghai on a special plane, what can you ask him for instructions." ”

"Your Excellency General......" Tsukada couldn't help but look miserable, and His Excellency Matsui was dismissed after all.

But then again, the Battle of Nanjing was fought so hard, so tragic, the army suffered nearly 100,000 casualties, and more than 60,000 soldiers were killed in battle alone, plus they were repeatedly humiliated by the Baoshan Regiment, which almost made the army lose face.

In particular, this time, Matsui Ishine mistakenly proposed to the base camp the strategic concept of luring and annihilating the main force in central Anhui, and postponed the plan of the 13th and 18th Divisions to go north to Xuzhou, which directly caused the 5th and 10th Divisions in North China to go deep alone, and they were surrounded by the heavy forces of the Central [***] team in the mountainous area of Lunan, which caused tremendous repercussions in the international community.

Whether it is the traditional Western powers such as the United States, Britain, and France, or the Red Soviet Union, all the media are gloating, claiming that once the 5th and 10th main divisions of the Chinese army are surrounded and annihilated by the Chinese [***] team, the Chinese army will completely lose the ability to continue the all-out offensive, and thus will have to negotiate with the Chinese political axe.

Although the ordinary people in the country did not know the truth, so there was no excessive reaction, but the domestic elite had enough channels to know this information, and they had already put pressure on the political axe to remove Matsui Ishine, and in this context, it was absolutely impossible for Matsui Ishine to remain in the post of commander of the Central China Front.

………… Tokyo, the headquarters of the army base camp.

Ishihara Waner, head of the Operations Department of the General Staff Headquarters, strode into the office of the chief of the General Staff of the Japanese Army, Miyajihito, with a thick folder in his hand, although Ishihara Waner was only the head of the Operations Department in name, but his Operations Department concentrated the vast majority of the functions and powers of the General Staff Headquarters, so Ishihara Waner was actually the de facto deputy chief of staff.

However, even if Ishihara Wan'er is the de facto deputy chief of staff of the General Staff Headquarters, he still has to ask the chief of the general staff, Gong Zairen, for instructions on some major matters.

"Your Highness, this is the battle plan for Xuzhou that the War Department has just drawn up." Ishihara respectfully handed the folder to the front of the Kanin Palace, and said, "Please take a look." ”

Xianyuan Gong Zairen didn't immediately flip through the documents, and said, "You first talk about the general idea." ”

"Hello." Ishihara bowed his head suddenly, and immediately stated, "The general idea of this battle plan is to use the 5th and 10th divisions to hold the enemy in front of them, and then urgently mobilize and organize 20 reserve divisions from the country to urgently go to the battlefield of China, supplemented by elite troops from North China and Central China, and plan to use the strength of 13 to 15 divisions to carry out an encirclement and annihilation operation against the main force of China on the battlefield in Xuzhou!" ”

It must be admitted that during World War II, Xiao Yueben's military service system was very complete and his mobilization ability was also very strong!

Although there are only 17 permanent divisions and regiments of the army, the number of years of service of the soldiers is only two years, so there are a large number of retired servicemen in the people, and these retired servicemen are reserve forces, also known as soldiers in the townships.

Until the outbreak of the Battle of Xuzhou, the strength of the army was mainly these 37 divisions, plus a small number of mixed brigades.

Among these 37 divisions, the Guards Division was stationed and defended Tokyo all the year round, 6 divisions were stationed on the four islands of the mainland, 2 divisions were stationed in Korea, and the 1st, 2nd, 4th, and 10th veteran divisions were subordinate to the Kwantung Army and stationed outside the Guanwai all year round, and the remaining 24 divisions were successively engaged in the Mengsui, North China, and Central China battlefields.

The war of aggression against China has been fought so far, the strength of these 24 divisions and regiments has been used to the limit, especially the nine main divisions and regiments of the Central China Front Army have suffered heavy casualties, and if the base camp of the army wants to launch the Battle of Xuzhou and encircle and annihilate the main force of the [***] team gathered in the Xuzhou battlefield in one fell swoop, then it can only be urgently mobilized from the country to form a new division.

Xianyuan Gong Zairen frowned and said, "Ishihara-kun, will it be too much to mobilize into 20 divisions?" ”

Ishihara said: "Your Highness, if it is just to encircle and annihilate the dozens of Zhina divisions in front of the Xuzhou battlefield, it will be almost impossible to mobilize and organize into 10 divisions, but if you want to take advantage of the situation to capture Wuhan, where the Zhina camp is located, and finally force the Zhina political axe to surrender, then it will not be possible without 20 divisions." ”

Xianyuan Gong Zairen pondered for a moment and said: "Okay, then 20 divisions and regiments, you can take back this battle plan, you don't need to ask me for instructions on specific combat matters, the war department can decide on its own." Saying this, Xianyuan Gong Zairen specially advised, "But this time, we must encircle and annihilate that damn Baoshan Brigade on the battlefield in Xuzhou." ”

"Hello." Ishihara bowed his head suddenly, and immediately took the order.

………… Beiping, the headquarters of the North China Front Army.

Lieutenant General Naosaburo Okabe, chief of staff of the North China Front, hurriedly walked into the office of the commander, General Terauchi Shouichi, and immediately retracted his feet and said, "Your Excellency, are you looking for me?" ”

"Okabe-kun, you're just in time." General Terauchi Shouichi stood up and greeted him, "The base camp has decided to set up a command post for the dispatch of the Chinese faction in Jinan, Shandong, to concentrate on coordinating the troops from North China and Central China participating in the Battle of Xuzhou. ”
