Xuzhou, also known as Pengcheng, one of the nine states in China, has been the key to the north since ancient times, the gateway to the south, the place where soldiers must fight and the center of businessmen. With a history of more than 6,000 years of civilization and 2,600 years of city building, it is known as the "thousand-year-old imperial capital" and is said to be "the emperor of the Nine Dynasties Xuzhou".

The war in the north is unfavorable, so that the market in Xuzhou has become very depressed, the road is full of people fleeing with burdens, although it is only June, but the weather is still extremely hot, so that the hearts of pedestrians panic.

However, just when everyone thought that the sky was falling, southwest soldiers wearing grass-green military uniforms appeared in the Xuzhou area, and the inquisitive people naturally quietly got through, and there were at least hundreds of thousands of troops in this endless world.

"Did you hear that? Nanking sent troops. ”

"When did you hear the news, now the capital of the country is Chongqing, and Nanjing is occupied by the little devils."

"Will this little devil become a climate, like a Tartar, take away the country of our Han people, and let us be cattle and horses."

"If you want to be a cow and a horse, you go, Lao Tzu won't go anyway, the little devil is here, and Lao Tzu will take a kitchen knife and go desperately."

"Return the kitchen knife, you don't see what our troops use, there are iron birds flying in the sky, and thick cannons on the ground."

"Alas, I heard that it was Commander Liu who came this time, and we were saved."

"Brother, the Commander Liu you said is the Commander Liu reincarnated by Prince Yue."

"Isn't it? Looking forward to it every day, looking forward to it every night, I finally looked forward to Commander Liu. ”

"Then I have to hurry home and set up an immortal ranking for the commander."

"I'll go too."

The common people came to greet Liu Yuan spontaneously, and although the war zone had issued an order not to engage in these formal things, the common people still came, and they wanted to see their troops and increase their confidence.

"It's coming, it's coming." I don't know who Lu Dao suddenly shouted.

Liu Yuan was sitting in a special bulletproof military vehicle and was drowsy, when he suddenly heard a deafening cry outside.

"Commander Liu! Fuck the little devil! ”

"Commander Liu! You still can't collect the troops! ”

"Commander Liu! My daughter is beautiful! ”

Li Erniu stepped out of the car, saluted and said, "Fellow villagers, thank you for your warm welcome, the general is not feeling well, so he will not come out to thank you." Let's go back, the local party branch will contact you, and I hope you can support the general. ”

"little Japan!"

"Listen to the commander, let's all go back and prepare."

"Commander, my daughter is beautiful. Just drive away the devil and be your wife!" An uncle shouted persistently.

"Get out, how could the general marry your daughter."

"Fuguo, I've been in the Fifth War Zone for so long, and I've never seen the people welcome me so much, and I don't know if it's my dereliction of duty." Li Zhilong said with a wry smile.

Liu Yuan was indeed very tired, because of fatigue, the Northeast Battle caused the wounds left by the Red Party to recur after the assassination, and people became unenergetic all day.

But it was this young man who had no spirit at all, but the author's military vehicle walked around Xuzhou, which stabilized the hearts of the entire Xuzhou City.

"It's too early to say anything, only by winning the battle can it be regarded as an explanation for the support of the people." Liu Yuan squinted his eyes and said weakly.

A total of 150,000 recruits from the southwest made the train to supplement their own troops, and I don't know how many people along the way were fighting their own recruits' ideas, but when they saw the grass-green military uniforms worn by those recruits and the semi-automatic rifles they were holding, they gave up.

After replenishing the recruits, Liu Yuan has more confidence, and there is today's activity, which is mainly to give the people certain information.

"That's true, but are you okay with your current state? Our war with the little devils is not an overnight thing, you don't want to exhaust your body and die early like Zhou Yu in Eastern Wu. Li Zongren looked at Liu Yuan with a little worry.

Ever since he learned that Chiang Kai-shek had appointed this young man as the commander of the Fifth Theater of Operations, to be honest, Li Zongren had a lot of dissatisfaction in his heart.

But when he saw this young man's tired body and thoughtful eyes, Li Zongren didn't know what he was doing, and the resentment in his heart disappeared.

"I hope that I have the ability of Zhou Yu, then I can easily break the little devil's southward army, and die without regrets." Liu Yuan stretched out his hand and beckoned outward, which could be regarded as a reply to the people's welcome.

Enthusiastic shouts continued to erupt outside, as if the entire city of Xuzhou was boiling.

"Don't say those dismal words, war is just around the corner? You have played a lot with the little devil in Nanjing and Shanghai, how do you feel about the little devil's internship? Li Zongren was very curious about how Liu Yuan commanded millions of troops to fight against the little devils.

"Generally speaking, their standing divisions are very strong, even stronger than our southwestern front-line troops, but the temporarily formed troops are worse, and the garrison troops can only be at the same level as the Central Army, or even inferior to the Central Army, and their most elite troops have been consumed a lot in the two battles." Liu Yuan replied to Li Zongren.

"Not only did they lose a lot of elites, but also our elites lost a lot, and now the Japanese army is facing the contradiction of insufficient troops, why are we not like this, when you established a reserve system in Jiangxi, Guangdong, and southwest China, it was very right, but even so, our troops are still insufficient." Li Zongren said anxiously.

"By the way, how is the Japanese army's tactical use?" As the deputy commander of the Fifth Theater, Li Zongren is still very concerned about his work.

"The quality of the Japanese is actually not as high as imagined, their tactics are completely dependent on their national conditions, generally speaking, it can be said that they are dull and simple, they are used to the central breakthrough tactics, like wave Lang attack, and inverted triangle attack, these are our elite troops have understood, as for their defense, they do not have a special engineer unit, and they are not very familiar with trench warfare, but the training of Japanese soldiers is still very in place, on the battlefield, a Japanese military Cao, It can even be used as a sniper, and there is also assassination, the principal is a half-baked international student, and he can still assassinate a few more hands, you can imagine the level of the Japanese. ”

"There is also a very strong sense of responsibility of Japanese officers, and their personal quality is also very high, in the face of difficulties, they will quickly find the highest-ranking officer, and he will command the battle, and the level of the officers who are temporarily in charge of the command is generally very good, in our Wuhu Campaign, Gu Shoufu was obviously divided by General Nie Rongzhen, but he was not completely annihilated." Liu Yuan said regretfully.

"You are in the south, how did you fight with the little devil, I heard you say this, and I have no confidence in my heart." Li Zongren asked.
