At the huge headquarters, Terauchi Shouichi was still reciting Matsui Ishone's long telegram.

"The ignorant and incompetent Matsui Ishine actually praised the Shina troops, does he know how many troops we have concentrated on the northern front of China? There are six divisions and more than 160,000 troops, and this huge force is something that he Matsui Shigen can understand and control. ”

"Since the beginning of the war in northern China, we have not suffered any losses, especially in the Shandong battlefield, under the command of General Seishiro Itagaki we easily took almost all of Shandong." The staff officers smirked on the sidelines with contempt for Matsui Ishone's telegram, what do you think the loser has to speak.

Matsui Ishine seemed to have expected that the people around Terauchi Shouichi would look down on him, so he wrote in the telegram, "Speaking of which, I am not afraid of Terauchi-kun's jokes, but in fact, when the army I led arrived at the city of Nanjing, I also fell into a kind of arrogant mood, and I also thought that Shina was vulnerable, but it was when I was most proud that I fell into the trap of the Shina. ”

"I've been thinking that with General Liu Yuan's ability to fight, he won't be unable to think of ways to resist or delay the Empire's attack, but I have never found any clues from General Liu Yuan's methods, but as the war progresses, I think I have discovered General Liu Yuan's strategy."

Terauchi Shouichi hasn't finished reading yet, and the eyes of the people around him have lit up, they have always been arrogant, but in their opinion, Shina has always been in a state of passive defense, what strategy will there be. But as the war progressed, China did not weaken, but became stronger and stronger, so there must be something that they did not see through, could it be that this Matsui Ishine really saw something that everyone did not see.

"Gentlemen, I am not a smart person, before the Battle of Linyi, I was also confused by General Liu Yuan's dazzling arrangements, but as General Liu Yuan personally entered the Linyi battlefield, he leaked the focus of their strategy."

General Liu Yuan is really a very smart person, he saw the strategy of Terauchi-kun, that is, to concentrate the strength of the head of the Isoya Ryosuke Division and the head of the Itagaki Seishiro Division to form a corner and attack Xuzhou, a strategic place for public security.

And their strategic policy is to concentrate on the strength of the force, first cut off one of our arms, defeat the force of the 5th Division of our steel army, and then assault the troops of Isoya Ryosuke-kun.

Ishihara-kun told me about his concerns, "That is, according to the fact that in the battlefield of the Battle of Songhu, only part of the 35th Group Army was put into the battlefield, so the 35th Group Army and the 1st Strategic Army of the Southwest, which were the most powerful fighting power in China, went there. ”

Here, Matsui Ishine played a little clever, although there were many soldiers in the empire who opposed Ishihara Waner's thoughts, but everyone had to agree that Ishihara Waner was definitely one of the smartest people in the empire. What he was worried about, it must have been a very bad thing.

Hearing Ishihara's worries, many people began to think, Terauchi Shouichi shook his head, looked at the commanders who were thinking around and continued, "If I were General Liu Yuan, I would put the troops on the periphery of Xuzhou, deliberately sell them to Isoya Lianjiejun to break the flaws, and let him take Xuzhou, and once Isogu-kun takes Xuzhou, then the main force of the 35th Group Army can further attack and conquer Yanzhou, and then launch an attack on Isoya Lianjiejun from the flank of Xuzhou."

Another point is that there is a very wasteful general in China, named Liu Zhi, who controls the Second Group Army, a very elite group army in China, and the 24th Group Army led by General Gu Zhutong, plus the Itagaki troops that are fighting at this time, if he is defeated, China's troops can march from the east, so a rather terrifying encirclement area is formed in the Xuzhou area.

After hearing this message, the chief of operations, Fujiwara Shin, laughed, "Although Matsui-kun's words have a certain insight, they are too cringe, and it seems that the Nanjing battlefield has left him too heavy a shadow. General Ryosuke Isoya, who was worried about him, had two and a half divisions with strong combat effectiveness under his command, especially the 108th Division was marching to the flank, seeking the Jining generation area, and General Itagaki Seishiro also mastered these two and a half divisions, with the tired Chinese troops in Linyi, how could it be the Fifth Division, which has always been known as the Steel Army! ”

However, there are also some veteran staff officers who have objections, and they stand up and say, "What Matsui-kun said still has a certain amount of truth, in the Linyi area, Itagaki-kun seems to have fallen into a certain predicament. ”

However, this staff officer who stood on Matsui's side did not dare to say too much and offend Shouichi Terauchi.

Terauchi Shouichi continued to follow the telegram and said, "The gentlemen may think that the troops under Itagaki Jun and Terauchi-kun are extremely powerful, but don't forget that under the expectations of the Empire, they have been fighting for nearly two months, and the troops are extremely tired, and Chiang Kai-shek of China has been constantly sending troops to his favorite student, Admiral Liu Yuan, to the war zone, and according to the statistics of the Empire, at least 150,000 troops have entered the battlefield.

And this is the reason why they dared to launch a counterattack in the east of the river and the north of Linyi City.

The frightening assumption here is that if the Shina were lucky enough to defeat the Ninth Brigade and then concentrate their forces to the north of the castle, it would be possible for General Seishiro Itagaki to find himself in an even more troubled predicament, and then to besiege General Ryosuke Isoya, so that all the monarchs could become the greatest sinners of the empire.

"Matsui-kun was frightened by the Shina people, how could the Shina people defeat the great imperial warriors." The young staff officer clenched his fists and said angrily.

"Yes, we should suggest that the empire strip Matsui of the military status of this shameless villain, and let his wife act as a *** and give full play to his most valuable value."

"How can a general of a defeated army be qualified to talk about the strategy of the empire, this kind of person should be killed." The young Japanese staff officer, who had anger in his eyes, said.

Shouichi Terauchi glanced around coldly, and the officers in the command post immediately quieted down, not daring to say anything.

Shouichi Terauchi walked around the table, compared the command knife in his hand, and said solemnly and angrily, "As an imperial soldier, you must be calm, the first discipline, as an imperial soldier is as noisy as the people of China, what kind of system does Matsui-kun say whether it is right or not, but it shows his attitude and shows his concern for the great cause of public sub-prosperity." ”

Speaking of this, Terauchi Shouichi saw that everyone had listened to it, and the role of educating them on their arrogant character had been achieved, so he changed his words and continued, "Although what Matsui-kun said has a certain amount of truth, he ignored that the troops of Shina at this time are no longer the troops of Shina when the war just began, taking the Southwest Army as an example, they also lost positions in a row, so we don't have to have too much fear of Shina, and the latest information I have gotten, the commander of the 20th Army Corps of Shina, Tang Enbo and Liu Yuan, are at odds, did not obey Liu Yuan's branch at all, so the battlefield in Xuzhou was not so dangerous, and if Matsui-kun knew so much information, he would not have made such a wrong conclusion. ”

The chief of operations, Fujiwara Shinya, nodded and said, "Although Matsui-kun's concern is justified, it can't change the change that General Itagaki Seishiro is reversing the battle situation in the Linyi area, and the troops he commands are very chaotic at this time, and even in order to control the troops, they actually had to kill a general Jun Liwei, what a ridiculous thing, so I think General Liu Yuan is not capable of carrying out a large-scale encirclement of the imperial forces." ”

Terauchi Shouichi eventually sent a telegram back to Matsui Ishone, in which Terauchi Shouichi's tone was extremely calm, and he spoke highly of Matsui's telegram, but he did not change his strategic mind.

When Matsui received the telegram from Terauchi Shouichi, his mood was completely despaired, and he even saw the scene of the Tokyo military tribunal set up by the Shina people to try himself, and General Liu Yuan's men sat down to accuse him.

And those judges of China, who represented justice, finally announced that they would be hanged.

For what? For what is the temple is so stubborn, with his ability, it is impossible for him not to see the trap set by the people, but the temple is so concerned about his dignity, knowing that his judgment is wrong, and he refuses to change. Perhaps at this time, his worries were the same as his own at that time, although he admitted his mistakes and could save the losses, but he would win the distrust of the empire, and the abuse of some people who were not in office, and finally change to a general who did not know the details of Daochina.

This is definitely a huge disaster for the empire, so the temple knows that he is wrong, and he has to fight again, and with the self-confidence of the empire, the temple Shouichi does not think that Liu Yuan can do anything to his divisions. After all, it is not the first time that the empire's divisions have been surrounded, but China has never really benefited.

But Terauchi Shouichi had to be disappointed, his telegraph attack had just arrived in the Empire, Seishiro Itagaki sent himself a telegram slapping himself in the face, Daiwangsan missed, a wing was surrounded by the Shina troops, the mixed mechanized brigade and the ninth brigade were retreating, the Shina troops were desperately catching up, and the Imperial troops suffered extremely heavy losses.

Liu Yuan had to admit that he underestimated the Nakajima Division, and from the extent they took it, Liu Yuan realized that he had made a mistake in the arrangement.

In the battlefield north of the city, there was no real commander-in-chief of the former enemy for a while, resulting in the two commanders on the front line not being under their own command.

They are Tang Enbo and Hu Lian, Hu Lian's task is to block the Japanese 16th Division, and at the same time cooperate with Tang Enbo's attack, but Hu Lian is such a smart person, how can he be idle, so he thinks from the position of the independent army, and at the same time adopts the method of attacking and defending in order to reduce the losses of the independent army.

However, Nakajima, the commander of the 16th Division, took advantage of this opportunity to cut off part of his troops to block the attack of the Independent Army, and the main force quickly moved closer to Itagaki Seishiro.

I have to say that Liu Yuan really underestimated Nakajima, he has always regarded Seishiro Itagaki as his main target, and at this time he took military action, but Liu Yuan had no way to treat him as an audience.

Because once the 16th Division and the 5th Division converged, Towneberg would be in danger.

Because Tang Enbo had already dispersed his troops in order to attack, four or five brigades were scattered to fight, especially his reinforced brigade, which was even more desperate to withstand the attack of the Japanese army, and it was already stretched at this time.

If the 16th Division enters the battlefield, then Tang Enbo will definitely not be able to hold on, the fine net is easy to catch fish, but the net is too thin, but it is easy to be broken by the big fish, this is the eternal truth.

Considering Tang Enbo's dangerous Liu Yuan, although Tang Enbo repeatedly disobeyed orders on the battlefield and repeatedly showed disrespect for himself in the past, Liu Yuan could not help but protect his comrades-in-arms who fought side by side.

He immediately sent an operational command to the front, and the huge loopholes that appeared were pervasive.

Ordered Liao Yaoxiang's division to immediately go south and attack the 16th Division, and Hu Lian led the rest of the troops to attack from the tail flank of the 16th Division, grabbing Nakajima's tail and preventing him from running too fast. Give the butcher time to kill the other cattle.

For Tang Enbo, Liu Yuan didn't give too many instructions, after all, people have their own dignity, Liu Yuan just told him about his situation at this time and asked him to make adjustments by himself.

Although the war is now deadlocked, the battle in the north of the city is of little significance in Liu Yuan's eyes, and his existence is to block the attack of the Japanese army. Buy more time for the troops in Hedong.

On this battlefield, Sun Liren's mechanized troops, Wang Zhonglian's 85 Jun, and Zhang Zhen's troops had a total strength of more than 60,000 troops, while the Japanese Ninth Brigade and mixed mechanized brigade had suffered heavy losses of less than 15,000 at this time.

Four times the number of troops, in Liu Yuan's eyes, is enough to wipe out the Japanese army in the Hedong battlefield, as long as the stalemate in the Hedong battlefield is broken, then the disadvantage of the Chengbei battlefield will be self-defeating.

Liu Yuan personally sent a telegram to Sun Li and Wang Zhonglian, asking them to defeat the Japanese army in the shortest possible time.

"Your troops are strong and the weapons are advanced, which represents the most cutting-edge strength of the party-state, the most elite soldiers, but looking at the battlefield situation, your army's offensive is weak and unorganized, resulting in a stalemate on the battlefield. Don't make a mistake. ”

Don't make a mistake, the lethality of the four words is extremely powerful, especially the two commanders, feeling Liu Yuan's anger and awe-inspiring killing intent, they know very well that if they mess up this battle and cause chaos on the entire battlefield, then they may die with the correct military law, Sun Liren After reading the electric white, he sat in the tank command car, although he Sun Liren did not have Liu Yuan's foresight, but he would not be blocked by the Japanese army's "small favor and small favor".

His troops and the 85th Jun jointly pursued the 9th Brigade and the Mechanized Mixed Brigade, but part of the troops were blocked by the 11th Company of the Japanese Army at Daiwang Mountain.

"Li Dazhu, can you do it, it's only two brigades of Japanese soldiers, you have been fighting for two and a half hours, do you dare to fucking waste a little." Sun Liren got out of the command car, ran to the command post of the second regiment, and scolded the regiment commander.

Li Dazhu is different from other commanders of the training unit, he does not have a high education, and he does not know so many words, he should not have joined Sun Liren's mechanized brigade, but Sun Liren believes that a unit cannot be all intellectuals, and more needs hot-blooded men, so there is a man like Li Dazhu.

Li Dazhu was reprimanded by Sun Liren, feeling blushing, and his dignity was hit in his eyes.

After this Japanese army was surrounded in Daiwang Mountain, they knew that they had become a lone army, so they were very desperate, they held the village to the death, and they just didn't retreat.

He opened the way with artillery, but he was all enough to be hit out by the mortars of the little devils, and the fifth attack, with great difficulty, entered the village, but the shameless little devils actually used the houses as a dark bunker and beat the soldiers who rushed in into a sieve.

"Brigade, it's my fault that the battle wasn't fought well, the situation is very tight now, it seems that my brother must go on a trip in person, if I have a good one, please take good care of my wife and children." After saying that, he picked up a Garand rifle and walked out.

"Damn, this little bunker stumped you, I'll make a call."

Sun Liren's so-called telephone is a walkie-talkie equipped to the regimental level, and there is a long antenna next to it, and the guards bend over to carry this big treasure.

"Headquarters? I'm Sun Liren, and I'm asking the headquarters to give me some flamethrowers. Sun Li shouted.

A quartermaster who answered the phone said dissatisfiedly, "I have a little treasure under my hand, and you still have to send me the coordinates for half an hour, and accept the airdrop of supplies." ”

Sun Liren didn't care about the complaints of these quartermasters at all, anyway, he was a unit that Liu Yuan valued, and it was impossible for him to abuse himself in materials.

Sun Liren spread out the map and said to Li Dazhu, "Dazhu, this flamethrower is a treasure, you will send a part of the elite soldiers in a while, they have generally learned how to use this thing, from here quietly touch the bottom of the dark fort, and then aim the jet at this hole, and then boom, the entire dark fort, all turned into a sea of fire, and all the Japanese troops burned until only bones remained." As long as these bunkers are abandoned, our troops can attack them, and then kill all the devils they see, remember to be fast. ”

In just over 20 minutes, a large number of white umbrella bags appeared in the sky, and the flamethrower was placed in the box, and as the parachute descended, the Chinese soldiers quickly packed up the jet, and the cowering Japanese army naturally did not dare to come out to grab supplies.

The soldiers, who had received the supplies, under the cover of the artillery, quietly marched to the bottom of the bunker, pointed the flamethrower at the muzzle, and pulled the ring.

The intense flames quickly burned inside the bunker, and the Japanese soldiers inside opened the gate of the bunker themselves and ran desperately out, but by this time they had become burning people.

And the Chinese soldiers did not have any intention of shooting, but watched them die in the burning.

The threat of the bunker disappeared, and the other troops quickly rushed towards the Japanese position, and the threat of the Japanese army had disappeared.

Sun Liren breathed a sigh of relief, and now he finally pulled out the troops. Now it's up to General Wang Zhonglian's performance.
