"Commander, we haven't turned on the machine for so long, Chief Li must be in a hurry, isn't it ......" Wan Jianfan, a staff officer of the 20th Legion, couldn't help but remind Lao Tang.
After all, they are now in the Fifth War Zone, and they are restrained by Li Delin, and the relationship has stiffened, which is not good for everyone.
"Wait." Lao Tang didn't care, he didn't pay attention to a mere Li Delin, this Gui family has always been at odds with Zy, he is Lao Jiang's henchman, will he be scared of a local warlord?
Even if the position of the warlord in this place is higher than his, must his ability be stronger than the others?
"Commander, the 52nd Army has already exchanged fire with the Japanese army in Guoliji, and the number of the Japanese army is the second brigade of the 10th Wing of the 33rd Brigade Regiment." Chief of Staff Gou Jitang walked into the cramped war room with a telegram.
"Didn't reveal our intentions, did you?"
"There shouldn't be, but the Japanese should have discovered our existence, but they don't know where our main forces are." Gou Jitang said.
"How did Guan Yudong deal with it?"
"They ate the Japanese army that captured Guoliji, and then left only two companies, and the main force shrank to the east, luring the Japanese reinforcements to attack to the east!"
"What about the intentions of this Japanese army?"
"I don't know, but judging from the direction of their march, it should be to support the Sakamoto detachment in Linyi."
"So the Seya detachment still has the strength to support others?"
No one takes Lao Tang's words, Lao Tang's thoughts, his subordinates can guess two or three points, and some words can be understood in their hearts, but it is unnecessary to say them.
"According to our reconnaissance, in addition to the main force of the 63rd Wing attacking Taierzhuang, Zaozhuang, Yicheng and more than a dozen villages and towns along the Zaolin branch line, there are at least tens of thousands of Japanese troops, and Hanzhuang and their Sewu detachment are on alert in the direction of Xiangnan and Weishan Lake, and they can be reinforced at any time."
"How is Taierzhuang?"
"It's still fighting, but the combat effectiveness of the new 38 Brigade is really strong, today is the seventh day, and the Japanese army still hasn't made any big progress in Taierzhuang, and the casualties are not small!"
"What's the news from Wuhan?"
"This afternoon, the Japanese air raid on Wuhan was defeated by our air force and the Soviet and Russian aviation support teams, and the Japanese army lost 23 aircraft!"
"This is a rare victory, not much smaller than the air battle over Taierzhuang a few days ago!" Lao Tang couldn't help but smile.
"Commander of the corps, the commander of the 52nd Army Pass telegraphed that the Japanese reinforcements have arrived in Guoliji, please tell me how to fight next?" The confidential lieutenant asked, holding a telegram.
"Let him keep in contact with the Japanese army, but don't expose his own strength, and let the Japanese army believe that our main force is not here." Lao Tang said slowly.
"Then do you want to let the Japanese army over?"
Lao Tang frowned, this is not a joke, if he lets the Japanese army go, Zhang and Pang will suffer from the enemy on their backs, and the crime of losing Linyi is not small.
"Hold off the Japanese army, it's better to drag it out for three or five days, wait for the opportunity!" Old Tang thought for a moment and ordered.
"Yes!"
"Commander, Chief Li has already ordered us to attack, if we delay it any longer, I'm afraid it won't work......" Chief of Staff Wan Jianfan worried, this is to offend the Fifth War Zone to death, especially the new 38th Brigade that is under great pressure and casualties in Taierzhuang, which is also the elite of ZY's lineage.
President Jiang flew to Xuzhou, that was to personally inspect Taierzhuang, and also separately summoned Luo Yufeng, the commander of the new 38th Brigade, which shows that President Jiang attaches great importance to the new 38th Brigade.
"Send a telegram to Luo Yufeng, just say, if my side attacks now, at most it will defeat the Japanese Seya detachment, if he insists on three or five days, it will consume most of the Japanese army's energy and ammunition reserves, and the certainty of the attack at this time is greater, and the results of the battle are also greater." Lao Tang thought about it for a while and ordered the confidential secretary to draft a telegram report.
"Do you want to explain it to Chief Li as well?"
"President's telegram!"
"......" Lao Tang read the content of the message, his face suddenly gloomy, someone asked Lao Jiang to sue him, this person doesn't have to think about it to know who it is.
"Leave him alone, just send a telegram to the president to explain our situation and intentions!"
Just hanging the commander of the 5th theater of operations? Wan Jianfan was a little stunned, wouldn't this offend Li Delin to death, his own Zhang Guang's temper was too stinky, and it wasn't one or two people who would be offended if he continued like this.
"Report to the corps commander, Lanling Town found that the GJ troops, there is about a reinforced battalion, the firepower is very powerful, the number is unknown, and the purpose is unknown."
"Lanling Town?" When Lao Tang heard this, he couldn't help but show a hint of surprise, at this node, there was actually a GJ army appearing in Lanling Town, is it a coincidence?
"Could it be Zhang Xinchen's person?"
"If Zhang Xinchen makes a move, will he not notify us?" Lao Tang glared at the chief of staff, so many weapons and ammunition were aided to them, and these were fed to the white-eyed wolf?
"Who could that be?"
"Sun Fanglu doesn't have such good weapons and equipment, so there is only one possibility in the Taierzhuang area?" Old Tang closed his eyes and thought for a while.
"The corps commander is talking about the new 38th brigade?"
"This Luo Yufeng, not only has a set of wars, but also has a lot of ambitions, don't care about him, since his people are in Lanling Town, let's go to the province to deploy defenses, let the 52nd Army get in touch with them, tell them the news of the Japanese army's eastward advance, and ask them to beware." Tang Keqin ordered.
Xuzhou, the headquarters of the commander of the Fifth Theater of Operations.
"This Tang Keqin, if I hadn't sent a telegram to Mr. Jiang to report to him, I wouldn't have known what he wanted to do!" Li Delin received an explanation from Lao Jiang that the Tang Army did not attack immediately, and slapped it on the table angrily.
"Degong, dissipate your anger, the matter has come to this point, and it can only be like this, but the situation is not the worst." Liu Weizhang comforted, for Lao Tang, he is also a little hot this time, this guy has done too much, and does he have the discipline of a soldier?
Rely on. Pet. Sheng Jiao, Chen Cixiu, Hu Shoushan are not like him, right?
"What's the situation over there with Luo Yufeng?"
"Hold on, they have suffered a lot of casualties, so far they have lost less than 4,000 casualties, they withdrew a regiment to rest and replenish the independent regiment."
"What about the Japanese army?"
"There are no less than 3,000 casualties, there are 2,000 in the city, and there are corpses everywhere in the village, and there is no time to clean it up, and now it is full of stench."
"The weather is getting hotter, the corpses are rotting and stinking, and they are prone to germs, and if there is a plague, it will be troublesome."
"Tell Luo Yufeng, let him take precautions and pay attention to hygiene, if there is non-combat attrition, it will be troublesome." Li Delin commanded in a deep voice.
"Commander Li, New 38th Brigade Commander Luo telegram!"
"Speak!"
"This ......," Huang Xuecun stood up.
"What are you talking about, you slurp." Li Delin was already on fire in his heart, snatched the message, swept his eyes, and his face changed slightly.
"Call back, just say that this time let them be wronged, and I, Li, will compensate them." Li Delin was not an ordinary person in the end, and he quickly regained his composure.
This Tang Keqin is too disagreeable, originally he disobeyed the military order, and he should have explained to him, the commander of the theater, but now it's good, instead of explaining to himself, he directly explained to Luo Yufeng, probably in his psychology, he, the commander, is not as good as Luo Yufeng, the brigade commander, right?
Where is this to put him, the commander of the theater of operations?
Fortunately, Huang Xuecun did not read out the content of the message in public, otherwise, in front of so many people, his old face would be lost.
Li Delin didn't say anything, and others couldn't do anything to him, even if this matter was in the past.
"Chief Li, a condolence group from Wuhan has arrived, and there have also arrived several wagons of condolence materials, including cigarettes, canned food, wine, and mustard from Sichuan......"
"Arrange for the quartermaster department to receive it, keep it if it can be used, and send it back if it can't be used!" Li Delin snorted coldly.
"Yes, I'll call the head of the quartermaster's office."
Taierzhuang City, the buildings on the ground have long ceased to exist, and the south of the city is strong. The church did not survive the bombardment on the 29th, and finally collapsed, and the city defense headquarters was moved to the ground of a general store not far from the south gate.
This is a backup command underground headquarters built by a regiment, an underground warehouse with a grocery store that has been renovated and expanded, and although the sparrows are small, they are fully equipped.
All the troops in Taierzhuang City went underground, and there were only vigilant troops on the ground.
At night, the Japanese army did not dare to act easily, and only operated in groups in the area they occupied, and did not dare to make fires on both sides, quietly, and in total darkness.
The new 38th Brigade also had no strength to launch a night attack, and a few nights ago, the Japanese army was exhausted by the night attack of a regiment of the New 38th Brigade, and they were refugees all night.
The first night, they were at peace with each other, which can be regarded as a tacit understanding.
"Telegram from Chief Lee!"
"What did Chief Li say?"
"Chief Li said that the new 38th Brigade has been wronged this time, and he will definitely find an opportunity to compensate!" Adjutant Hao said with a somewhat embarrassed face.
"There's no way for Chief Li to take Tang Keqin?"
"Forget it, let's treat it as if the Tang Army doesn't exist, how to fight and how to fight, when the time comes, we will counterattack first!" Luo Yufeng gritted his teeth and said.
"Lao Luo, we will counterattack first, but where do we get the troops?"
"The Second Army, as well as our supplementary regiment deployed on the south bank of the canal, our two families together also have twenty or thirty thousand horses, right?" Luo Yufeng said.
"Lao Luo, we have such a small number of troops, it is still difficult to defend Taierzhuang, counterattack, you really dare to think about it!"
"Isn't there Lu Xiong's 60th Army, I heard that it has already arrived in Guide, and it can reach Xuzhou in a day or two, so that our troops will be enough."
"Lu Xiong, that's the King of Yunxi, do you think he can listen to us?"
"He can't listen to us, but he can listen to Chief Li, I believe that Chief Li is also very dissatisfied with Tang Keqin, if such a big piece of military exploits is taken away by him, let this kind of person become an anti-Japanese hero, and we people become his foil, are you willing?" Luo Yufeng said.
"We can't take the ......lead in this matter," Qin Yankun whispered.
"The hero sees the same thing, this matter can only be done by our Leng Shizuo, in order to teach Tang Keqin a good lesson, and this earth is not inseparable from him." Luo Yufeng snorted coldly.
"I'll go and contact Commander Chi and them, and they will think that Commander-in-Chief Sun suggests that the Sichuan army doesn't need to say anything, it will definitely stand on the same line with us." Qin Yankun said.
"Okay, I'll send a telegram to the division, and you go to get the support of the two division commanders, Chi and Huang!" Luo Yufeng is a person who does what he says, and immediately assigned the task.
