In the end, Liu Yuan was very hesitant to lead the Japanese army there to fight. If the Japanese troops were to be guided under the city of Xuzhou, it would be impossible, in that case, Isogu's troops would be pulled very far, and under the threat of the air force, their supply of supplies would become a very sad problem.

However, if it is placed under the city of Xuzhou, it will make the mistake made by Li Zongren in history, that is, the terrain around Xuzhou is too flat, and it is not suitable for the decisive battle place of China, which is equipped with certain disadvantages.

"Commander, the chairman of the committee is here." The confidential staff officer took the telegram and handed it to Yu De's sailors.

Yu Deshui picked up the telegram, glanced at it, and hurriedly walked to Liu Yuan and handed it to Liu Yuan, Liu Yuan was holding a Linyi pancake in his hand and gnawing on it, I heard that it was Chiang Kai-shek's telegram, wiped the oil in his hand, and looked at it.

"The war in the Fifth Theater has entered a critical stage, and in the coming period, it will determine the future of the country, so the Command has decided to send Bai Chongxi, deputy chief of the General Staff of the General Staff, to the front line to coordinate with you to deal with the war.

After reading the telegram, Liu Yuan shook his head, he really had a lot of thoughts about the principal, and he was worried that he would not be able to fight well in Xuzhou, but he didn't want to talk about it, so he sent Bai Chongxi to be the remote control. It's just that during the period of the battle in Xuzhou, the edge was too strong, and the Nationalist Government's millions of troops, hundreds of thousands of elites, almost half of the air force, and most of the mechanized troops were all controlled by themselves.

It can be said that it has reached a position above one person and under ten thousand people. The way of civil and military affairs is relaxed, this Liu Yuan knows better than anyone else, I am afraid that after this battle, he will not be able to lead the troops for a period of time, or the principal will not agree to lead the troops himself.

"General, General Patton is coming to visit." Li Erniu hurriedly walked in.

Liu Yuan squinted his eyes, thinking about it, and couldn't figure out what it meant for Barton to be here at this time.

"Let him in." Liu Yuan could turn down those reporters, but he couldn't turn down Barton.

Patton was an iron-blooded soldier who walked with a tiger, but when he walked in, he saw Liu Yuan lying on a chair eating a strange cake.

"I didn't expect the general to be so interested at this time." Barton smiled, he didn't die Stilwell didn't understand the food of these Chinese, what was delicious.

Liu Yuan handed Stilwell a pancake and said with a smile, "This thing is much more delicious than your burgers and pizzas, come and try it." ”

Barton took two bites of the multigrain shoulder, and praised, "It's a delicious thing, but it's a little worse than the fast food restaurant that the General opened in the United States." ”

"It's just a different culture." Liu Yuan waved his hand and motioned for Barton to sit down.

Patton was also not polite, and said to Liu Yuan, "I see that the general is so leisurely, it seems that you have won this battle." ”

What is this Patton looking for himself, according to the character of the Americans, there is no matter, it is impossible to come all the way to find himself.

"The things of war are ever-changing, even if it is a Napoleonic general, I dare not say that the victory is in my hands, and I dare not talk nonsense." Gulping down a few bites of the pancakes, crunchy.

Yu Deshui and Li Erniu also took a pancake, and they couldn't bite it off for a long time, which made the youngest son of the landlord's family despise.

"Why did Colonel Patton come to my headquarters in the middle of the night just to talk about it?"

Barton glanced at Liu Yuan and said very seriously, "Your country's Mrs. Song Meiling lobbied everywhere in our country, hoping that our country would provide a certain amount of help, although my country is very sympathetic to your country, but we are not sure, whether you can resist the attack of the Japanese army, so I hope the general can give a happy word, can you hold it?" ”

Patton is a straight person, coupled with a fiery temper, it is not bad to be able to speak so tactfully, this is still for the sake of Liu Yuan is a general he admires, otherwise as the most promising officer in the United States, how could he talk to the soldiers of other countries like this.

Liu Yuan heard the meaning of Patton's words, that is, if he couldn't Chen Gong to defend Xuzhou, then Mrs. Soong Meiling's speech in the United States would be in vain, and they Americans would not pay to help the weak, and that was the day.

Just when the Japanese army was raging in Shandong, China, Soong Meiling took Soong Ziwen and Kong Xiangxi to form a powerful delegation and visit the United States.

Among them, Soong Meiling hopes that the United States will provide some support to China, and it is best to let China buy some strategic materials such as arms and oil at low prices.

In order to keep the Yunnan-Burma Highway, Li Zhilong was good at dancing, had a good conversation with the British, even stopped the construction of the Sichuan-Tibet Highway, and even promised not to import strategic materials to Germany.

The British allowed the Yunnan-Burma Highway to continue to be unblocked, allowing the rubber, oil, steel and other strategic resources that China needed to enter China in a continuous stream.

However, some American conglomerates do not very much want the US government to help China, after all, many of their companies are partners of Japan, and they think that it is not very wise to offend Japan.

Roosevelt himself very much wanted to aid the Southwest, it was the Southwest, not China, but since the beginning of the war, the Southwest has been very strong, and there is no desire to further step into China's circle of strength, and he has devoted himself wholeheartedly to the War of Resistance.

Much worse than the Red Party, which actively engaged in contradictions with Chiang Kai-shek, and even better than Li Zongren, who hoped to become president one day, every idea of the Americans to help China must meet one requirement, that is, it will have interests in the United States or harm China, otherwise it will certainly not be a good thing to make such a large country strong.

If Liu Yuan is willing to stand up, it would be better, because the United States will definitely trigger a new civil strife in China, which is a very good thing in the eyes of the Americans.

However, since Liu Yuan and Chiang Kai-shek are so restrained, if the United States wants to aid China again, then there is only one reason, that is, China can really fight with Japan, so that the United States can continue to gain benefits in China and Japan. This is the bandit mentality of the United States.

But even so, it is still very difficult for Washington to come to China's aid, because the US Military Observer Group is very unoptimistic about China's War of Resistance Against Japan, and they think that it is difficult for China to hold on to things for too long, and even the second leader of the country has broken out in their country, betraying the country.

However, the new military observer group sent to China believed that China could resist Japan, and they even came to an answer that Roosevelt himself was not convinced of, that is, the country was likely to drag down Japan, the largest power in Asia.

The two completely different views completely left Roosevelt with no idea, and the old men in Washington also quarreled, and the opponents believed that China's national strength was not enough to support a long war, and they would eventually lose. But supporters have a very good impression of Liu Yuan, believing that under Liu Yuan's leadership, China will not fail so quickly.

In desperation, Roosevelt could only ask Patton to provide more detailed information, considering in detail the strength of the Chinese troops and the expectations of the Chinese troops to resist the war.

"That's what happened." Liu Yuan then got up to get water and drank the opportunity, his brain was running fast, and Barton asked this question at this time, but he was not very good at answering.

However, Liu Yuan also knew that this matter must not be sloppy, put away his joke thoughts, and said very solemnly, "Although it is inconvenient for me to disclose too many military operations, I can tell you that Japan will not have a good time in the future." ”

Patton was stunned for a moment, and then a look of surprise appeared on his face, "General, do you mean that under your leadership, the Chinese troops will achieve a hearty victory." ”

"Hehe, needless to say, it's not the first time we've won a war with the Japanese." Liu Yuan said.

Historically, the commanders of the Battle of Tengxian County and the Battle of Linyi were General Sun Lianzhong, General Pang Bingxun, and General Zhang Zizhong, but because of the development of the plot of the novel, there have been changes to history. If you are really interested in history, you can go to the Internet to check the real history. Although General Pang Bingxun is a miscellaneous army, he is also very capable of fighting, but I am not very familiar with him, so I did not write about him, so I am sorry here.

The moon and stars are scarce, and Linyi is surprisingly quiet.

The night covered the smoke of the war, but the occasional cannon sound in the sky alarmed the soldiers who were sleeping on the city wall, holding their guns, and hurriedly got up and looked ahead.

There are not many troops left in Linyi now, and most of them have been sent to the front.

There were quite a few patrols organized by students and workers in the city, and they held in their hands the 38 large covers collected on the battlefield, which was impossible for the regular army, and it was not a big problem to give them to these patrols.

Liu Yuan's headquarters was still located in the ancestral hall of the landlord's house.

The night was quiet, but the headquarters was surrounded by patrolling soldiers, who didn't know that Commander Lu Dao was in charge of strict military law, and no one dared to slack off at this time.

However, every time the guard passed in front of the room in the middle, he unconsciously slowed his steps, lest he disturb the commander's thinking, and in a small room in the distance, he was in a state of loud noise.

The annoyed Tsevie clenched his fist and was about to educate the guests in the house, but there was a veteran in the Tsvey who knew the inside story and grabbed the young Tswe, the little girl was not only spicy, but also the Commander's student, who could not be offended. Didn't you see that even Colonel Li Erniu was respectful?

In the room, Li Erniu was looking at Lin Huiyin and Xu Zhimo with a dissatisfied expression.

"I said Comrade Lin Huiyin, do you still have a bit of organizational discipline, can you stop for a while, do you know how complicated the current situation is? Don't listen to those people boasting about the war situation, in fact, Itagaki still has a chance to escape. Your teacher has a chance to meet you. In the face of Lin Huiyin and Bai Xiude, who had been shouting and dissatisfied, Li Erniu was also forced to have no choice but to half-truth. Of course, I was not satisfied with Liu Yuanke, why did you take care of you as a student so much.

But Li Erniu thought that Bai Xiude listened to Liu Yuan's words, his eyes lit up, just like the lights of a car, he grabbed Li Erniu's arm and said.

"General, look at the chocolate, can you tell me a little bit about the situation at the front." Bai Xiude has been in China for so long, and he has learned nothing else, so he has learned to bribe people.

"Go, go, this thing we have in the Southwest Army, it's not that I haven't seen it, don't bribe me, let the commander know it, I will definitely be scolded." Li Erniu shook his head, naturally he didn't want to say a word.

Although the Battle of Linyi is not a very important part of the battle in Xuzhou, if it scares away Ryosuke Isoya, it will be troublesome, after so many years, Li Erniu's military literacy has still improved, and he knows what to say and what not to say.

The contest in the Fifth Theater has changed to a certain extent as expected, of course, on the better side, and although it is not a large-scale decisive battle at present, it is carrying out a number of interrelated small battles.

That one has a problem, it's not good, it can be said that they are interlocking. Among them, there are the defense of Linyi, the defense of Tengxian, and the battle of Xuzhou or Taierzhuang, all of which are combined with each other, and there is room for the slightest problem.

Seeing that Lin Huiyin had nothing to gain, Xu Zhimo shook his head and said helpfully, "Colonel Li Erniu, I heard that the Japanese Itagaki Division has the title of the Steel Army, I don't know how Lu Dao compares with the Steel Army of your army, can the commander still bear it?" ”

In Li Erniu's opinion, this Lin Huiyin is Liu Yuan's forbidden belly, but this Xu Zhimo doesn't know how to follow him every day, which makes Li Erniu dislike it very much.

Therefore, Li Erniu didn't give Xu Zhimo a good face, "What is he Itagaki Seishiro, and the Ninth Division can also be regarded as the elite of their Itagaki Division, and if you don't Zhaoyang, you can't let Major General Sun Liren defeat the army." ”

"Sun Liren, Lushan organized and trained the troops, and Sun Liren's troops were sent to the front line." Bai Xiude asked suddenly.

Li Erniu was just about to speak, the guard next to him suddenly coughed, Li Erniu realized that he had been fooled, glared at Xu Zhimo, and immediately looked at Bai Xiude vigilantly and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Bai, this is a military secret, and there is nothing to say." ”

Seeing that Xu Zhimo's words did not have any effect, but made Li Erniu unhappy, he glared at Xu Zhimo very dissatisfied, and asked Li Erniu, "Brother Erniu, is the master still working now?" How's his body?"

Li Erniu is also a person who can make soy sauce as a child, so he can naturally see the friendship in Lin Huiyin's eyes, but he doesn't know what Liu Yuan thinks he can't see.

I didn't want the little girl to be too sad, so I said to him, "The war is most afraid of putting all hope on one person. Now the commander, presiding over the war on the front line, sleeps for up to four hours a day, and all-nighters are common," patted Lin Huiyin on the shoulder and said, "Brother won't lie to you, the general is really busy, I'll take you to rest in Xi'an, if there is anything, I will help you tomorrow." ”

After speaking, he didn't forget to glare at Xu Zhimo, and then he was about to leave with Lin Huiyin.

Lin Huiyin glanced helplessly, and the handsome American guys Bai Xiude and Xu Zhimo reluctantly followed Li Erniu out of the room.

Li Erniu took Lin Huiyin to a bedroom, where there was still a map, as well as Wei Yizi and Liutao, who were full of diaries, and a strong smell of sweat came.

Lin Huiyin took off his coat, sniffed it and said, "This is the teacher's room." ”

"You nose." Li Erniu smiled bitterly and said, "Things are worse, because of the fierce battle in Linyi, most of the houses have been blown up, and many people have no place to live, we can't rob them, you can also see, even the landlord and his son are crowded in the shack, naturally it is impossible for a few of you to ask for other houses." ”

"Oh, I live here, but where does the teacher live?" Lin Huiyin's face was as red as a red glow.

Li Erniu suddenly showed a lewd smile, as if he had returned to the years of the Wuhan Military Academy, Lin Huiyin blushed even more, this old and disrespectful guy.

"Let you be evil, let you be evil." The powder punch hit Li Erniu once, and Li Erniu's whole person was fragrant.

"Alas, little girl, it's you who thinks too much about yourself, and you still beat me, what are you thinking." Li Erniu pretended to be aggrieved and looked at Lin Huiyin, and finally couldn't help laughing.

"Brother Erniu, you're too bad." Lin Huiyin looked at Li Erniu angrily, took out his camera, and beat Li Erniu hard, Li Erniu, who was rough-skinned and thick-skinned, didn't take it as a matter at all.

Most of the ** around Liu Yuan saw Lin Huiyin's friendship for him, but Liu Yuan had a capable lady by his side, and it was really not suitable for the development of a new daughter-in-law, so Liu Yuan became very cautious in handling the situation.

However, everyone still thinks that this cute little girl is Liu Yuan's dish at the end, so she loves it very much, but recently everyone knows that Lin Huiyin has a guy named Xu Zhimo next to her.

Children of the family, the article is very well written, and Li Erniu's teasing of Lin Huiyin is also purposeful, it is nothing more than to see if this little girl still loves Liu Yuan.

After a while, Lin Huiyin was finally tired, and he had been interviewing recently, and his body was indeed a little unbearable.

"Brother Erniu, is there anything delicious? I can't bite the pancakes in Linyi. Lin Hui looked at Li Erniu bitterly.

Li Erniu shook his head and said, this is the headquarters, how can there be extra food, the commander is willing to get bread like iron every day.

"Brother Erniu, I want to eat something delicious." Lin Huiyin looked at Li Erniu pitifully.

Li Erniu shrugged and said, "I have a daughter-in-law, and your set doesn't work." Li Erniu took out a few pots of water from under Liu Yuan's bed and said, "This is hot, you know that you have been in the dust all the way, and the commander prepared it for you." After Li Erniu finished speaking, he deliberately gave an ambiguous look, meaning you know, in fact, where does Liu Yuan have time to do these things, everything is Li Erniu's decision.

But the little girl who is unrequited in love, there is a knowledge that the Erniu brother in front of her has played herself.

Looking at the hot water on the ground, Lin Huiyin asked with a moist corner of his eyes, "Brother Erniu, has the teacher never been like this in Shandong?" He has old injuries and can't stay up late for a long time. ”

"What has always been like this in Shandong, specifically since Shanghai, but you can rest assured that when the war is not very tense, he will rest more." Li Erniu responded.

"When are you not nervous, I don't know when this War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression will end, and the master can't get up like this." Lin Huiyin's eyes were full of worry.

"The little devil is wreaking havoc in the country, what can be done, look at your Erniu brother, he has gray hair on his head, and you don't care about it." Li Erniu complained to Lin Huiyin, he didn't have many acquaintances in this headquarters, and now that he finally has someone who can talk to him, Li Erniu will naturally not let it go.

"Of course it is, your commander stayed up late, and you, the chief of the guard, naturally had to stay up late, but Brother Erniu, you didn't listen to the master, when will you let you have a good rest, look at your white hair, my sister is distressed when she sees it?" Lin Huiyin wanted to pluck Li Erniu's hair decently, and the cunning in the corners of his eyes thought that he had not been seen by others.

"I guess it's only been a few days, this little cub Seishiro Itagaki is too arrogant, this time we finally let us catch it, it's not okay if you don't pick his skin." Li Erniu said with a smile.

Lin Huiyin jumped over and over again, and stopped picking Li Erniu's hair, "Really? Brother Erniu, are we going to win the battle?" Lin Huiyin looked at Li Erniu excitedly.

Li Erniu was very dissatisfied with Lin Huiyin, who was "hypocritical", "Are you concerned about me, or are you inquiring about the news, Brother Erniu is so sad." ”

"Brother Erniu, everyone is worried, and there is a master." Lin Huiyin pouted, his face was full of expressions that had been discovered by you, "Brother Erniu, there are just two of us here, just tell me, it's a big deal for me to say more good things to my sister-in-law." ”

Li Erniu looked at Lin Huiyin's little head, knowing that Liu Yuan had always loved this little girl, and since she had come to the headquarters, if she didn't tell her something, she would definitely make some trouble.

So Li Erniu told Lin Huiyin some things on the front line, but he seriously warned him that he couldn't let others know about these things, these things were all started, and the real war had not yet come.

Lin Huiyin was shaken to the side, unable to speak for a long time, the fight here was so lively, but it was not a real big war, just when the Americans were worried that the Chinese would be defeated by the Japanese.

Her lover, idol, is ready to make a bigger victory. What is a slap in the face? That's it! Aren't you worried that we are no match for the Japanese? We will create a greater victory for you.

"Sister of the Lin family, my brother can tell you, this matter is related to the national fortune, you are the commander's student, I just told you something, you should know how to respect yourself." Seeing Lin Huiyin, whose face was full of shock, Li Erniu reminded again.

Lin Huiyin is also an excellent student who graduated from the military academy, what Li Erniu said, she naturally knows the importance of it, "Brother Erniu, don't worry, I won't talk nonsense, the little devil has hidden so many spies in China, if I say more, they will definitely know the truth." So I'm going to keep my mouth shut. ”

"Also, I feel that Xu Zhimo's guy is not a good thing, you can see him talk to me, you know the truth, you must be careful." Li Erniu continued, he just hated Xu Zhimo, there was no way at all, he hated it from the first sight.

"Brother Erniu, people know the truth, why are you nagging like the teacher." Lin Hui was unhappy, and pushed Li Erniu out of the room, "Brother Erniu, guard the door for me, I'm going to wash my name." ”

"Can I see it?" Li Erniu said evilly.

"Of course you can, Brother Erniu, you see how other people's figures are." Lin Huiyin looked at Li Erniu badly, the fist in his hand was already clenched, and he was ready to beat Li Erniu again.

Li Erniu said with a wicked smile, "Hmph, pork rib girl, there's nothing, what to see." With that, he closed the door and sat down on the steps.

Damn Li Erniu. Lin Huiyin gritted his teeth, looked at Li Erniu who was sitting outside, and then looked down, depressed for a long time, is it really that small? Teachers don't like small ones, but how does this thing grow up? Thinking about the appearance of his wife after giving birth, Lin Hui was dying of envy, and his face turned red for a while.

Finally Lin Huiyin finished taking a bath, Li Erniu was also liberated, Li Erniu was worried about Liu Yuan, and returned to the headquarters, Li Erniu found Liu Yuan lying in front of the map, it seems that tonight is another sleepless night.
