Chapter 18 The situation is pressing
The Tang Enbo Legion was crowned a god in the Battle of Nankou and gained the reputation of an anti-Japanese iron man. Tang Enbo led the 20th Army Corps of the National Revolutionary Army, which was a very strong combat force and was fully equipped with American equipment.
Yan Xishan had already complained to Chiang Kai-shek many times, and he was even willing to transfer the 18th Group Army to the Fifth Theater, rather than to transfer Tang Enbo's corps.
Moreover, Chiang Kai-shek was also worried that after the transfer of Townenbo, the remaining troops in the first theater would be able to withstand the Japanese attack, so Chiang Kai-shek hesitated again and again and made a decision.
In the lost Shanghai, the sky is still blue, and there are white clouds floating in the sky.
In the KFC restaurant, there was a young woman sitting next to the old turtledove, sitting together, drinking Coca-Cola, looking at the sky outside the window in a daze, I don't know how many people were envious.
"This place will be under your management from now on," everyone thought that the old turtledove had withdrawn from the intelligence community, but few people knew about it.
The young boy nodded, not saying anything more.
"I didn't expect you to be willing to return to service. I know that the counterattack against Liao had a great impact on you. The old turtledove said.
"I'm not the emotional kid I used to be, and I'm fighting for my country, isn't it?" The young woman said with a smile.
"When you say this, I'm relieved, remember that you are a one-line connection, don't get entangled with other forces. And be sure to pay attention to safety, and what's your new codename? I'll go back and record it for you. The old turtledove said.
"Let's call it a mermaid, I remember when the teacher said I was beautiful!" The young woman said with a smile.
The old turtledove also smiled wryly, the young woman in front of him was one of the earliest students under Liu Yuan, and in the assassination incident, he used his beauty and feelings to penetrate into the enemy's interior, which became one of the reasons for the success of the assassination Liao. However, this incident hurt her a lot, and afterwards he became a KFC franchisee, and I heard that life was very good.
The old turtledove knew that his point had leaked and was not suitable for continuing to lurk, so the important point of Shanghai must be left behind, and the mermaid entered his sight.
Listen to footsteps and be able to discern who is walking.
"He's coming." The old turtledove whispered to the mermaid.
At this time, Saburo Saito pushed the door and came in, looking at the beautiful girl in front of him with a little doubt.
"Is this a benefit that my dad gave me? My dad knows me too well. Saburo Saito said with a wicked smile.
The old turtledove's face was full of embarrassment, how could this guy not know how to restrain at all.
"You are the teacher's righteous son, you are still alive, I thought you were dead during the war years." The mermaid stood up and said excitedly.
"It's you!" After seeing that it was a mermaid, Liu Quan's expression was extremely embarrassed, and he also knew this beautiful woman who had taken care of him.
"Have you seen it?" The old turtledove looked at the two people in front of him strangely.
"I've seen it, and I've seen someone crying his nose!" The mermaid's smile trembled, as if she remembered the years of that little child.
"Please don't call me a little brat, you can call me number three, or call me Sakura." Liu Quan said dissatisfied.
"Your father is so ruthless, you shouldn't have been a part of it." The mermaid looked at Liu Quan with pity and said.
"Not to mention this, I have brought a very important news this time, at the end of June, the Central China Front will launch an attack on the Jinpu Road. Please let my husband get ready, and give this gift to my two younger brothers" Liu Quan couldn't stay here too long before leaving.
Summer is coming, and the weather is getting hotter. Because of Liu Yuan, the city of Xuzhou has become prosperous again.
In the headquarters, Liu Yuan was thinking, and Zuo Quan had information in his hand.
"Your son is unreliable, and the information is not detailed enough." Zuo Quan said to Liu Yuan.
"Quanquan's intelligence is already very good, what is his position, how can he know too much, and it is already very good to be able to get the assembly of troops and the deployment of materials. Why don't you let your son go to be an agent. Liu Yuan complained to Zuo Quan.
Zuo Quan's face darkened, "Indeed, that's Liu Yuan's son, he said that he would send Lu out, and he is the only one in the country who has the courage to do so."
"Although the intelligence is not detailed, it can still be roughly understood, the four divisions of the Japanese army, their main direction of attack should be Huainan, and some of them are mainly attacking northern Jiangsu." Zuo Quan said in an analysis.
The Japanese army has always speculated about the existence of spies inside, so it has always been cautious about the mobilization of troops, and even makes people confused about the number of the troops.
However, the situation of their material transportation was exposed.
Liu Yuan nodded and agreed with Zuo Quan's opinion, but Li Zongren next to him was a little worried, sure enough, there were four divisions, and there was a lot of pressure.
"Auxiliary country, it seems that the southern front is going to increase troops. Either transfer a 33rd Army to the south. Zuo Quan put forward his idea, and in his opinion, if the southern front does not play well, the northern front is more passive.
"Telegraph to the Central Committee, I want Yu Xuezhong's 59th Army, be fast." Liu Yuan said to Zuo Quan.
The mood of everyone in the headquarters was not very good, the movement of the Japanese army in the north had not yet been determined, and there were divisions in the south that did not appear in the combat sequence, which made everyone very worried.
"Tell the commander of the Seventh Army of Steel about the situation, and be prepared to play with the three divisions of the Japanese army, and die in Bengbu." Li Zongren said sharply.
Liu Yuan shook his head, this Lao Li is ruthless enough, "No need, give up Bengbu if necessary, and you can defend the Huai River there again." ”
The clouds of war began to fill again, and the Fifth Theater of Operations was like a machine, and the movement of the entire army group made the Japanese army realize that the Chinese troops were beginning to move.
The situation on the northern front was not very optimistic, more than five divisions of the Japanese army began to assemble rapidly, and some of them wanted to go to the first theater of operations to find trouble with Wei Lihuang, but that was only a part, and the remaining four divisions must have come to find trouble for themselves.
The war was inevitable, and the people began to flee again, but a group of people reappeared in Xuzhou. Among them are Lin Huiyin's sister and the great poet Xu Zhimo. They also had a group of foreigners with them.
"Mr. Patton, what do you think of this operation in the Fifth War Zone?" Lin Huiyin seemed to be very interested in this big-nosed foreigner, which made Xu Zhimo very unhappy.
"This question, you have to ask you General Liu Yuan, I am just a colonel." Barton was not as fierce as Lin Huiyin imagined, which was obviously inconsistent with the information Ang Lee gave him, which made Lin Huiyin secretly relieved.
"Haven't you ever thought about commanding a war in which hundreds of thousands of troops fight?" Lin Huiyin did not give up, but continued to ask Barton.
"War doesn't have to be about having a lot of people, I like tanks, I don't like people." Barton smiled and said to Lin Huiyin without leaking.
