In Jinan, Shandong, it rained heavily for half a month, and the originally expected drought was about to turn into a flood in the blink of an eye, so it broke the idea of the Jin army crossing the river from Hebei to attack Jinan, and Wang Jingguo's 37th Division also withdrew from Changqing to the west of Ansan, because the 32nd Army was completely annihilated, and the record of the army commander Shang Zhen being captured was too shocking, Wang Jingguo felt that the gap between Shang Zhen and Shang Zhen was far-reaching, so he hurriedly roared and roared overnight to delay the Yellow River and retreat westward, so as not to be surrounded by the Shandong Army and took Shang Zhen's old road.

Wang Jingguo didn't know that at this time, the armored brigade of the Shandong Army also reached the end of the strong crossbow, and poured the entire Shandong fuel reserves in exchange for the great victory in Feicheng, Shang Zhen was indeed not the Wuxia Ameng of the year, but he was still unlucky, he had no experience in the tactics of the armored brigade, so that the only remaining 67th Division of the 32nd Army was defeated and fled when the confrontation was defeated, Shang Zhen was not ready to retreat at that time, and was captured by the armored brigade that raided into the headquarters, and the 32nd Army had no strength to fight after that, It was all divided and eaten up until it was completely annihilated.

The Shandong Army became famous in the first war, and since then, no one in the country has dared to underestimate Wu Xiaoliang, and Wu Xiaoliang's achievements in Suidong have once again been turned over by the media in various places.

Jiang Zhongzheng in Nanjing did not expect that in the past, he was just a dead horse and a live horse doctor, but now it has become a key point in determining the outcome of the war, and Shandong alone has attracted more than 100,000 troops from five armies and one division to the Central Army.

The commendation order was over, and he needed Shandong to be nailed between Yan Xishan and Feng Yuxiang like a nail at this time, and Zhang Hanqing's attitude in the northeast was ambiguous and wavering, and it was difficult to exchange for his support without blood.

Wu Xiaoliang's current situation is not as passive as at the beginning of the war, at least Jinan has avoided the possibility of directly facing the flames of war, only the two armies from Henan to the Shandong border have a certain threat, but in the name of the total annihilation of Shang Zhen's 32nd Army, they do not dare to go deeper, for fear that one will accidentally follow in the footsteps of Shang Zhen.

The 57th Division stabilized the defense line of the provincial capital, and Li Zejun returned to Jinan to resume his life and participate in the military meeting convened by Wu Xiaoliang.

In private, Li Zejun was very envious of the armored division, and more than once proposed to equip the 57th Division with an armored brigade.

"If the 57th Division can be equipped with an armored brigade, I, Li Zejun, dare to pack a ticket, and it will never be a problem to sweep Henan."

Wu Xiaoliang laughed at first, then smiled, and said solemnly: "Qianting, you are from an infantry background, and you have not received the study of the combat ideas of the armored forces, if you want to be in charge of the armored forces, you will first go to Germany to study for two years, and then not to mention that an armored brigade or an armored division will be handed over to you." ”

Li Zejun still looked disapproving, in his opinion, what is the difference between armored troops and infantry, but it is fast and thick, is it worth going to the military academy to study for two years, Wu Xiaoliang naturally saw Li Zejun's disapproval, and decided to take the school exam, so he asked:

"Qian Ting said, this armored brigade is under your command, what are you going to do."

"Leave it to me."

Li Zejun looked at the battle map in front of the table, pondered for a while, and said: "I will use the degree and firepower advantage of the armored division to go around the flank of the Jin army on the first line of Chengwu and Dingtao, and crush its military heart with strong firepower, and then the army will follow up, and the battle will be won." ”

Wu Xiaoliang smiled bitterly and shook his head, sure enough, although Li Zejun used the armored force as an infantry supplement, he also regarded it as a strengthened version of the cavalry.

It can be said that he was the first general in the world to apply blitzkrieg to actual combat, and his armored brigade was also the first unit to verify the success of blitzkrieg.

"If you really hand over the armored brigade to you, it will really be a tyrannical thing, this time I asked you to come back, to discuss the question of the main force of the 17th Division and the independent brigade stranded in Henan, whether to stay or withdraw, now the military meeting is very divided, I want to hear your opinion."

Li Zejun pondered for a long time before he said:

"The troops in Henan should not be withdrawn, they are staring at the hinterland of Yan Xishan and Feng Yuxiang like nails, Yan Feng and the others will have some scruples and dare not invade Shandong on a large scale, and now the top priority is to defeat the Jin army blocked on the Longhai Road, so that we can be invincible."

Wu Xiaoliang nodded and said: "Qianting's intention coincides with mine, I sent a telegram to Nanjing today, proposing that Shandong does not need money, guns, but diesel, as long as the armored brigade can be mobilized again, and it is not a problem to defeat the two Shanxi troops who have no fighting spirit." ”

When Li Zejun heard this, he immediately clapped his hands and said: "If these two armies are wiped out, we will have no resistance south of the Yellow River from Jinan to Kaifeng. ”

Wu Xiaoliang has always admired Li Zejun, who was born in his own guard, although he is reckless, but he has a superior vision in strategy, so he will tell the stakes in one word.

Indeed, Wu Xiaoliang fought this idea, the Hebei Jin army on the first line of the Yellow River did not dare to lean south, after all, there was a Northeast Army squatting behind him, Xu Yongchang was not a fool, of course, it was impossible to fight him in Shandong, as long as Yan Xishan's Shanxi was mountainous and easy to defend and difficult to attack, he would send reinforcements continuously, but he wanted to fight against Lao Jiang with Feng Yuxiang, and he naturally focused on containment, which gave Shandong an excellent opportunity to breathe.

Wu Xiaoliang understands Yan Xishan's intentions, the reason why he no longer knocks himself to the death, the reason is that he is gambling, if he wins, he will be full of money, and if he loses, he will be defeated, as long as he and Feng Yuxiang defeat Lao Jiang, his nest-covered egg can be complete again, so Yan Xishan does not come to fight him, but he wants to fight Yan Xishan, and the two armies guarding the Longhai Road at the junction of Lu and Henan must be defeated.

Zhu Wusheng is also very good, within a few months he actually organized another division, this army Nanjing Lao Jiang has not given a number, so Wu Xiaoliang temporarily named it the first division of Shandong Provisional Division, this division is ready to secretly take over the defense line of the 57th Division, and Li Zejun's 57th Division will be transferred to Lunan to participate in the encirclement and suppression of the Jin army.

Li Zejun listened to Wu Xiaoliang's thoughts, and slammed his fist on the table with excitement, "Hey, I've been coiling this day for a long time, I've been guarding the Yellow River all day to watch the rain, and the birds are about to fade out of my mouth. ”

Wu Xiaoliang smiled and said: "Don't pull the bow too much, if you run away with someone, I will ask for you." ”

With that, the two laughed.

Three days later, in the middle of the night, the 57th Division secretly went south to Tai'an on Yanjinpu Road in a stuffy tanker.
