The battle was not unilateral, and this time Chiang Kai-shek helped Liu Yuan, although Liu Yuan believed that Chiang Kai-shek had violated the dignity of a general by doing so, but it was a very good change for the war situation.

The Third Army, General Liu Zhi, retreated from Fuji County because he was defeated by the Japanese army, and was ready to lure the enemy deeper, and Ryosuke Isoya, who was red-eyed, took this incident as a trap.

"Commander, the Isoya Division is calling." The confidential staff officer walked to Terauchi Shouichi with a telegram, "The Isoya Division has captured the Teng County of China, the defense of the Fuji County that the Shina relish has failed, the China troops are retreating to Xuzhou in a hurry, and General Isoya is pursuing. ”

"Yaga." Shouichi Terauchi felt that his dignity had been greatly hit, and it was undoubtedly a huge irony for him that as a front-line general, he dared to disobey his orders.

His mind echoed with the telegram Matsui Ishine had given him, "Don't let Ryosuke Isoya go deeper, it's a trap for General Liu Yuan." ”

All this was expected by Matsui Ishone, and this time Terauchi Shouichi had to believe Matsui Ishone, and immediately said, "Denki Isoya Ryosuke did not obey the command, and ordered the troops to retreat quickly to Tai'an (Tai'an, Shandong, the location of Mount Tai in China. One belt, this is the order. If not executed, military law is engaged. ”

"General," a confidential staff officer walked up to Shouichi Terauchi's side, his face as dead as ashes, as if His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire had died.

"Say, I'm still holding up." Shouichi Terauchi gritted his teeth and said, at this time, he knew very well that everyone could mess up, and he was the only one who couldn't mess up.

"Lieutenant General Nakajima personally led his troops to be surrounded by a large army of China and asked for tactical guidance." The confidential staff officer said.

"Location." Shouichi Terauchi's face was like an eggplant in sauce. Obviously, he had restrained himself, otherwise he would have collapsed at this time.

"Qiaojiahu Village."

"How can this be, doesn't God already hold the Great Japanese Empire?" The officer of the staff had a look of worry written on his face Terauchi Shouichi was still calm at this time, he looked at the map for a long time, but there was nothing he could do, only worry was left on his face.

This time, the empire lost out of greed, in order to swallow China as soon as possible, in order to eliminate the soldiers of China as soon as possible, they went all the way south, and many important areas that should be occupied did not send troops.

General Zhina is a master of guerrilla warfare, and their guerrillas have always been active in the rear of the empire, and even a major general named Yang Jingyu, who has been engaged in sabotage in the northeast, with a large number of guerrillas, is very active in the Jiaodong area, which has brought great trouble to the empire. I don't know how many times the railway line has been attacked, and the ammunition on the front line is always in a state of insufficiency.

Terauchi Shouichi did not put all the mistakes on Seishiro Itagaki, and Terauchi Shouichi knew that they lost strategically, and it was not that no one saw Japan's strategic mistakes. At least Matsui had already reminded himself, but he was still too greedy. Or that the top of the entire empire is too greedy.

"General, there's a way to be humble," Okabe said, standing up, though he thought Matsui's suggestion was a great irony to him, but there was no way to see it at this time.

"We need to send the Isoya Division and the Imperial 109th Division to form a heavy army group to invade the Linyi battlefield in the east and rescue the Nakajima Division and Itagaki Division that are surrounded by the enemy."

"I think General Itagaki and General Nakajima should still have a certain amount of strength in their hands, and if we join forces, there should still be a possibility of defeating the main force of Shina."

At the time of Japan's defeat and surrender, Okabe Naozo's position should be the commander of the Japanese Sixth Front Army, and he was also a hero. It seems that the suggestion of choosing Matsui Ishine at this time is simply a hard slap in the face with clogs.

However, this seemingly humiliating suggestion seemed like a lifesaver to Shouichi Terauchi. At the same time, Matsui Ishine was transferred to join the North China Front Army and served as the chief of the Operations Division. At this time, Matsui Shigen was like a good baby, listening to the special forces of the Air Force to teach him how to parachute, and it was impossible to take a boat to China, so he chose the fastest way to go to Shandong, parachuting.

It's not that he didn't think about making a plane to go to Shandong, but just yesterday, he was inexplicably assassinated at home, and on the way to the airport, he was attacked again.

If he wanted to go to Shandong in a bright light, he would definitely be assassinated, so he chose to parachute with a group of special forces to go to China.

The southern battlefield more or less still has some traces of the past life, because in Liu Yuan's view, the strategic thinking recommended by Mr. Jiang Fangzhen and Chen Cheng to Chiang Kai-shek is completely correct. So it almost follows the previous method, but Liu Yuan's grasp of the local battlefield, the use of tactics, and the organization are stronger than Chen Cheng, and all the wars that have not been fought are much better than in the previous life.

But the northern battlefield has little to do with the previous life, not to mention the Northeast Campaign, which caused the Japanese to lose their troops and lose generals, which caused the Japanese to lose a large number of elite soldiers, and allowed Liu Yuan to easily abduct a large number of materials and machinery and equipment in the Northeast, and even all the air force.

And this battle of Xuzhou is even more powerful, in the previous life, in addition to General Li Zongren's Taierzhuang victory, China can only get its hands on the northern battlefield General Lin Biao's Pingxingguan victory, at least in the official information, as for the deeds of Fu Zuoyi and General Hao Mengling, I'm sorry they are the Kuomintang, so no one mentions it much.

But when it comes to Liu Yuan, the changes are great, the invincible General Terauchi Shouichi is a bullish person, and Lieutenant General Itagaki is also a conceited ghost.

It was they who led the elite troops of the Japanese army all the way deep and sought death themselves. By this time. It can be said that Liu Yuan is changing his life against the sky.

You must know that in the previous life, after the defeat of Seishiro Itagaki in the previous life, Ryosuke Isoya still dared to go deep alone, fighting against the Kuomintang troops, and even the deeds of two soldiers occupying a county town, if it were not for the victory of Wanjialing and Taierzhuang Street, the little devil would definitely continue to be indispensable.

But now it's really different, Liu Yuan in this life kept consuming the strength of the Japanese army, the Battle of the Northeast, disabled the three divisions of the Japanese army, although a large number of troops were replenished, but after all, he was not a pure veteran before. In the Battle of Nanjing, two divisions of the Japanese army were disabled, and almost all the sharp spirit of the Japanese army was lost.

And this time, Terauchi Shouichi, as a northern force, was still a little arrogant, after all, the territory of the northern country is relatively flat, and their troops have an advantage, but the offensive and defensive changes are too fast, and he has no confidence in being fast.

Therefore, although Li Zongren sent the plan to Liu Yuan, as Terauchi Shouichi changed his tactical deployment and wanted to besiege the Japanese Isogu Division under Taierzhuang, the idea of total annihilation was gone.

If Li Zongren knew that Liu Yuan had lost his Taierzhuang victory, would he hate Liu Yuan to death?

Japanese generals have a bad habit, that is, they like to assert their own opinions. This time, Shouichi Terauchi would never have imagined that in such a difficult time, Ryosuke Isoya would resist his orders.

Thinking about it, Ryosuke Isoya has been fighting against Liu Zhi for so long, and seeing that victory is in sight, he can hardly tolerate this happening.

Enraged, Ryosuke Isoya left the Shangang detachment to hold on to Tengxian, while he led his troops to attack Linyi, Shandong with the 108th Division.

After the loss of Tengxian County, Liu Zhi ran to Zaozhuang, Shandong, and He Long immediately ordered Sun Lianzhong to prepare for the battle, and according to the predetermined plan, Li Jiayu led the 19th Division of the 35th Group Army to engage Isoya Liansuke in the Xuzhou Canal Zone.

Li Gayu (1892-May 21, 1944) was nicknamed Li Xiaozi, a former subordinate of Deng Xihou. Later, he served as the commander of the 36th Group Army, and was attacked by Japanese plainclothes troops on the way to retreat after the defeat of the Battle of Henan, and was martyred.

Of course, Li Gaoyu is just a bait, he needs to be responsible for seducing Isoya Ryosuke to Xuzhou, and then Li Zongren will mobilize a large army to besiege Isoya Ryosuke to death under the city of Xuzhou.

In his opinion, how could the 35th Group Army, as the elite Southwest Army, be afraid of Ryosuke Isoya, and he went to He Long, the commander of the group army, several times, but he gained nothing except being scolded.

This time when he received the news of the retreat of the Japanese army, he almost didn't kill Li Gaoyu in anger, but the Southwest Army finally made military regulations, and he couldn't say anything to Li Zongren, after all, he was the deputy commander.

The Air Force also told Li Zongren the news, which made Li Zongren feel a little uncomfortable in his heart, and blamed Liu Yuan for the fact that the front-line battle was too good and scared the devils away.

"Lao Li, it seems that we really can't disagree with old age, this world is the world of young people." Bai Chongxi recently liked the feeling of pretending to be a literati, and learned Yang Yongtai to wear a robe.

There are many white-clothed scribes under Liu Yuan, which makes Bai Chongxi very envious, and in this era, Confucian children are still very popular.

Liang Qiming and Chen Yinke, who are not the talents of the world, were all caught in Liu Yuan's hands, it is really inhumane, if there are so many talents in the Gui department, how can they come to this point.

"This kid is indeed a dragon among people, and he has played with so many things that the generals on the front line can't play. It stands to reason that I should go to the front line, but I don't have the ability to play this game of chess if I go, just Tang Enbo is enough for me to eat a pot, but you see, the battle he fought in Linyi, Shandong, actually defeated the Japanese troops and forced back Itagaki, which has to be said that his ability to lead the troops is really getting stronger and stronger. Li Zongren shook his head and said.

"I heard that Chiang Kai-shek was interested and wanted him to go one step further." Seeing that there was no one around, Bai Chongxi whispered to Li Zongren.

"Lao Bai, don't fool me, take one more step, wouldn't that be a marshal? Where is he going to put someone? Could it be that Chiang Kai-shek wanted to kill Liu Yuan? Li Zongren looked at Bai Chongxi puzzled.

Bai Chongxi looked at his old friend and shook his head secretly in his heart, the times are changing, not only can he not keep up with the trend, but his former friend can't keep up.

"Do you know what Chiang Kai-shek is doing now?" Bai Chongxi shook his head and asked.

"What else can he do except the War of Resistance Against Japan, he Chiang Kai-shek has no great ability." Li Zongren said disdainfully.

"You are wrong, he Chiang Kai-shek's vision has now become broader, you may not know that a large number of party members who were beaten into the left have entered the work of the state, they are all outstanding party members who have studied and worked in the southwest for many years, and they have entered the state system and made the country's political style look new."

"That's really dangerous, as we all know, the reason why he Chiang Kai-shek can't really unify the country is that the political party he controls has low combat effectiveness, lack of talent, and low political ability is the main reason for the failure, he is too superstitious about force, so that the Red Party, the southwest department, and the ** party have a chance to rise, so Chiang Kai-shek did this, isn't it to make the Kuomintang strong. What should we do with ourselves then? Li Zongren said a little worriedly.

"Reforming the party is still only the first step of Chiang Kai-shek's doing, he Chiang Kai-shek is eager to try and prepare to step onto the international stage, do you know what I have heard? Chiang Kai-shek was negotiating with countries such as the Soviet Union and the United States to abolish a number of unequal treaties. Truly realize our status as a great power. Bai Chongxi himself couldn't believe it.

"He Chiang Kai-shek has the confidence that we don't even have the country's independence." Li Zongren said puzzled.

"Alas, it's not Liu Yuan's confidence, now the war situation is getting better and better, but the world is shrouded in the clouds of war, the second world war may break out at any time, does this indicate that when the whole world falls into war, our country with a population of 400 million will come out of the war in advance, do you think a powerful military country with millions of troops is capable of participating in the game of the situation in the world world." Bai Chongxi's face was full of longing and said.

"If you can participate in the game of the world pattern, you can, but can he Chiang Kai-shek quickly solve the national problem? The country has so many forces, can Chiang Kai-shek deal with it? "Li Zongren did not trust Chiang Kai-shek to have that ability.

"Chiang Kai-shek can't handle it, but there is one person who can." Bai Chongxi prompted.

It goes without saying that Li Zongren knows who Bai Chongxi is talking about.

"If Liu Yuan becomes a marshal, then he can justifiably mobilize all the troops of the country, and he will definitely repay Chiang Kai-shek's kindness. And Chiang Kai-shek's decentralization also means that Liu Yuan's position is recognized, so Liu Yuan's crown prince will be completely consolidated. Coupled with the strength of the southwestern system and the strength of the central government, it seems that it is not a very difficult thing to unify the country after the defeat of Japan. Li Zongrenfen is very envious of Liu Yuan, this little guy.

But then Li Zongren realized a very important problem, "Once the southwest department really unites with the central government and Liu Yuan becomes the marshal of the country, then what should we do after the war is over." ”

Bai Chongxi didn't know the desire for power in Li Zongren's heart, and Bai Chongxi knew about the things he had done with the United States over the years.

"Lao Li, your obsession is too deep, no matter how much the United States gives us, can it give us a strong country?" Bai Chongxi reminded.

Li Zongren looked suddenly enlightened, and then his expression was a little depressed, what did he do for so many years of torn between the United States and Chiang Kai-shek.

"Yes, it's me who is too obsessed, if Liu Yuan can lead the country to victory, and our country can participate in the game of the pattern of the world, then it will usher in an opportunity, an opportunity for our Han people to stand up again, what is it if we make some sacrifices, as long as the anti-Japanese victory is won, I will hand over my rights and go to the General Staff to retire. Lao Bai, what are you going to do? Li Zongren said with a smile.

"Hehe, no matter what I say Bai Chongxi, I am also known as Xiao Zhuge , so I naturally want to cross the national border and follow Liu Yuan to fight abroad, do you think that the position of deputy chief of staff is blown out." Bai Chongxi said a little proudly, in fact, anyone can see the loss in his heart.

Throughout history, the princes on that side were willing to give up the rights in their hands, and it was really unprecedented for the Gui family to do so.
