Outside of Hanzhuang, the temporary headquarters of the Baoshan Brigade.

Chief of Staff Liu Yi trotted all the way into the war room, and said to Yue Weihan excitedly: "Brigade seat, the bayonet battalion is the first to break into the devil's headquarters, and Han Zhuang has already taken it!" ”

"Good!" Yue Weihan slammed the knot and said, "Immediately report to the headquarters of the commander of the theater, and then order all regiments to seize the time to clear the remnants of the enemy, clean up the battlefield, and be sure to withdraw from Hanzhuang before dawn!" ”

"Yes!" Liu Yi suddenly agreed to the promise and took the order to leave.

………… Xuzhou, the Fifth Theater Governor's Department.

Admiral Li and Deputy General Bai stayed up all night and were nervously waiting for news.

It was already four o'clock in the morning, but no news came back from the front.

"Degong, don't wait." Deputy Chief Bai looked up at the clock on the wall and said, "If you want to win Hanzhuang, there will definitely be a few fierce battles, and there will definitely be no drama today, so you should go back and squint for a while." ”

"Duke De, Hanzhuang has taken it!" Deputy Chief Bai's voice fell, and General Xu Zuyi, chief of staff of the theater, suddenly walked in excitedly and said urgently, "Jiansheng is also there?" Haha, just now Yue Weihan called, the Baoshan Brigade has taken Hanzhuang, and the Isogu Division of the Army has been completely wiped out! ”

"Oh?" Admiral Lee's expression was lifted.

Deputy Chief Bai turned his head suddenly, and said in disbelief: "Really won?" ”

"Hmm!" Admiral Xu nodded heavily and said, "The Baoshan Brigade is attacking like fire, and the momentum is like a bamboo!" ”

"Well done!" Admiral Li slammed his fists and said, "Chief of Staff, report to Wuhan immediately!" ”

………… Tai'an, Shandong, Isogu Division Headquarters.

Lieutenant General Ryosuke Isoya also stayed up all night and was anxiously waiting for news.

Last night, Seya Kai sent three urgent telegrams in a row, truthfully reporting the grim situation of Hanzhuang to Isoya Ryosuke, and at about three o'clock this morning, Seya Kai directly sent a farewell message, obviously, the situation in Hanzhuang has been extremely bad, so that Seya Kai such a determined emperor [***] people feel desperate.

Ryosuke Isoya really wanted to take a large army to Hanzhuang and rescue the trapped troops, but unfortunately, the supplementary division of the 10th Division was still thousands of miles away in the empire, and there were only a small number of divisions and regiments directly under the troops stationed in Tai'an, how could it be possible to rescue the main force of the division trapped in Hanzhuang with this little force?

At four o'clock in the morning, the real farewell message finally arrived.

The chief of staff of the division and regiment said with a solemn expression: "Your Excellency General, the farewell message was sent by Second Lieutenant Kato of the communications team of the Seya Brigade, and Second Lieutenant Kato said in the telegram that the squadron [***] team has broken into the headquarters, and His Excellency Seya has been shattered, and after taking out this telegram, Second Lieutenant Kato has also committed suicide. ”

Isoya Ryosuke's facial muscles twitched violently a few times, and then he suddenly drew the knife, and then screamed hysterically and slashed hard, only to hear a muffled sound, the desk in front of Isoya Ryosuke had been split in half by the sharp saber in the center, and the telephone, pen holder and documents on the table were suddenly scattered all over the ground.

Tibu Gui Dazuo was silent, he could fully understand Isoya Ryosuke's mood at this time.

As the commander of the 10th Division, the main force of the division was wiped out in Hanzhuang, which can be described as a major stain in his military career.

………… Wuhan, the official residence of Chairman Chiang.

Until 4 a.m., the lights in Chairman Chiang's study were still on.

As the leader of the party-state, Chairman Chiang had to personally handle thousands of official duties every day, and in fact, since the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Chairman Chiang rarely fell asleep before 4 a.m., and never slept more than five hours a day.

The closed study door was gently pushed open, and Wang Shihe, the chief of the state guard, strode in.

Before he could stand up and salute, Wang Shihe hurriedly said: "Commission, Lunan victory, Lunan victory!" ”

"Lunan victory?" Chairman Jiang raised his head suddenly and said, "The Isogu Division trapped in Hanzhuang has been annihilated?" ”

"Hmm." Wang Shihe said excitedly, "Li Zongren just sent an urgent telegram, the Baoshan Brigade approached the periphery of Hanzhuang in the way of civil work, and suddenly launched a surprise attack, after fierce fighting in the middle of the night, by four o'clock in the morning, all the remnants of the enemy had been wiped out, following the Banyuan Division, Xiao Yueben another elite division was completely annihilated by [***]!" ”

"Good, good!" Chairman Jiang was excited, and a thick Ningbo accent came out again, "You have to rely on the tricks and tricks of Zhongshu to fight a good battle, and you have to rely on the Baoshan Brigade of Zhongshu to fight a tough battle, Zhongshu really deserves to be my good student, worthy of our Fenghua soldiers, Zhongshu did not disappoint me, did not disappoint me!" ”

After saying this, Chairman Jiang said again: "Shihe, you go and arrange it immediately, I want to fly to Xuzhou early tomorrow morning, oh, it's not tomorrow, it should be today!" ”

"Yes." Wang Shihe stood upright and immediately received the order.

Chairman Chiang sat back in his chair, but he was already sleepy.

The impact and significance of this great victory are far above the great victory of Taierzhuang, because Taierzhuang only annihilated one brigade of the Sakagaki Division, while Hanzhuang completely annihilated two infantry brigades of the Isogu Division! At this point, the battle of Lunan can be regarded as a complete merit, and the army originally wanted to use the two master groups to take the bait for Erbium fishing [***], but now that the fish Erbium is gone, how can you fish?

The 5th Division and the 10th Division were the elite of the army, but they were completely annihilated on the Lunan battlefield!

To be honest, at the beginning, Chairman Chiang never thought that the Battle of Xuzhou could achieve such brilliant results, he thought that it would be quite remarkable to be able to defeat the two divisions of the Yue Army, but the result was total annihilation!

As a result, Chairman Jiang also came up with an unrealistic idea, since he was able to annihilate the two most elite main divisions of the Yue Army in one fell swoop on the Lunan battlefield, why couldn't he achieve a strategic victory? If we can gather enough troops on the battlefield in Xuzhou and then take advantage of the aftermath of the victory in southern Lunan, will we be able to reverse the course of the entire Sino-Chinese war in one fell swoop?

Therefore, Chairman Chiang asked Wang Shihe to arrange a special plane overnight, and Chairman Chiang wanted to fly to Xuzhou as soon as possible, not only to commend the meritorious soldiers on the front line, but also to personally supervise the implementation of the strategic plan for the Xuzhou General Battle.

………… Early the next morning, when General He Yingqin, director of the Ministry of Military Command, was in the press briefing hall of the Ministry of National Defense to announce the news of Lunan's great victory, Chairman Chiang had already flown to Xuzhou Airport on a special plane.

General Li and other senior generals of the Fifth Theater were already waiting at the airport.

After a brief ceremony at the airport, Chairman Chiang went straight to the Fifth Theater Headquarters, surrounded by many high-ranking generals of the Fifth Theater Theater, and at the Theater Headquarters, Chairman Chiang finally met Yue Weihan.

"Loyalty, come, come." Seeing Yue Weihan, Chairman Jiang immediately smiled and beckoned again and again.

Seeing that Chairman Jiang was so affectionate to Yue Weihan, the [***] generals next to him were all hot-eyed, especially the dozen or so division commanders of the Central Army, and they were even more unconvinced, Lunan didn't rely on the Baoshan Brigade alone, if there was no two-month onslaught by the divisions of the Central Army, how could the Baoshan Brigade alone eat the Isogu Division?

Yue Weihan naturally didn't care what others thought in their hearts, so he pulled his military uniform and stood beside Chairman Jiang at the moment.

The reporter of the Central Newspaper who came with him immediately pressed the shutter of the camera, but Wang Shihe, the chief of the national government guard, who was as careful as a hair, noticed that Yue Weihan was not wearing the Zhongzheng Sword, nor was he wearing the National Light Medal and the Qingtian White Stone Medal on his chest, Wang Shihe's brows suddenly frowned, was this kid negligent, or did he do it on purpose?

After taking a group photo, Chairman Jiang entered the conference room surrounded by a large group of generals.

Originally, Yue Weihan was not qualified to attend such a high-level military meeting, but at the insistence of Chairman Chiang, General Li had no choice but to add a chair to Yue Weihan at the end of the long conference table, and Yue Weihan, a small major general and brigade commander, was also able to attend this military meeting, which only generals are qualified for.

At the meeting, Chairman Jiang said with great interest: "Ladies and gentlemen, [***] has achieved an unprecedented victory in the Lunan region, and has successively annihilated the most elite 5th Division and the 10th Division of the Yue Army. ”

The senior generals attending the meeting immediately looked excited, but Yue Weihan was cold in his heart.

It is indeed worth the people of the country to be able to completely annihilate the 5th and 10th divisions of the Yue Army, but to say that the morale and morale of the Yue Army have been seriously frustrated is inevitably a little too optimistic.

Chairman Chiang also said to General Li: "Neighbors, this unprecedented victory in southern Lunan has been a great victory, and all units of the Fifth Theater have worked hard and made great achievements, and the Nationalist Axe has allocated 5 million yuan to commend the meritorious soldiers, and this money will arrive in the same car in three days with the condolences donated by all sectors of society, and it must be distributed to the meritorious soldiers in a timely manner." ”

After that, Chairman Jiang also deliberately glanced at Yue Weihan.

How could Admiral Li not know Chairman Chiang's thoughts? Besides, this Lunan battlefield was able to completely annihilate the Banyuan Division and the Isogu Division, Yue Weihan and the Baoshan Brigade really deserved the first credit, and immediately got up and said: "This Lunan victory, the Baoshan Brigade has the greatest credit, and I have decided to take out 500,000 yuan from 5 million yuan to reward the Baoshan Brigade!" The remaining $4.5 million will be divided equally among the divisions. ”

"You can just watch and do it." Chairman Jiang said pretentiously, "You don't need to ask me. ”

After that, Chairman Jiang said: "I have come here this time for one thing only, I am determined to expand the scale of the Xuzhou Battle, and I am determined to continue to increase the number of troops on the Xuzhou battlefield, and in addition to the original 62 divisions, 36 divisions will be transferred from various theaters, and I plan to use the strength of 98 divisions to engage in a strategic decisive battle with the main force of the army!" ”
