Jin Zhao smiled and said, "Even if it is the strength of the two divisions, don't forget that we now have more troops of Zhang Junsong's two divisions." Although Zhang Junsong's troops suffered a lot of losses, they still had 30,000 troops, and as long as Zhang Junsong's troops crossed the Yangtze River, we could have a good fight with this group of little devils in Wuxi. ”

"That's just as well!" Lin Shaotang said with a smile, "After these battles, I can see that the little devil is nothing more than that!" ”

Jin Zhao shook his head and said, "Don't underestimate the little devil, the little devil is still very powerful!" I once said that we should despise the little devils strategically, but we should pay attention to the little devils tactically. There is a famous saying that arrogant soldiers will be defeated, but don't be proud because you have won a few battles! ”

"You say the little devil is amazing? Awesome and still beaten by us? Lin Shaotang asked puzzled.

Jin Zhao explained with a smile, "The reason why we were able to defeat the little devils one after another does not mean that we are stronger than the little devils. The main reason is that we can defeat the little devils again and again because our weapons and equipment are more advanced than the little devils, and the tactics are used properly, and we can use our strengths and avoid our weaknesses. And what about the army? There are not many opportunities to engage our Fujian army, and we are seriously inexperienced, so it is no wonder that we still use the routine of dealing with the central army to deal with us, and we do not suffer losses! ”

Hearing Jin Zhao say this, Lin Shaotang couldn't help but nod in agreement, "Doesn't that mean that if the little devil is familiar with our strategy and tactics, I'm afraid it won't be so easy for us to defeat the little devil!" ”

Jin Zhao nodded, sighed helplessly and said, "The learning ability of this group of beasts is still quite strong, the so-called eating a trench and growing a wisdom, sooner or later they will be able to figure out our routines and sum up some ways to deal with us." ”

Lin Shaotang heard Jin Zhao call the little devil beast again, and couldn't help but show a wry smile. Although the little devil is indeed a beast, a senior general like Xiang Jinzhao rarely calls the little devil like this, and most of them are called the army. The reason is nothing more than taking care of your own personal image. But Jin Zhao didn't care at all, and still opened his mouth to say that the little devil is long and the little devil is short, and often adds some words such as dog or beast to call the little devil. After following Jin Zhao these days, Lin Shaotang gradually adapted to Jin Zhao's straightforwardness, and felt that only by calling him a little devil like this would he be enjoyable.

"So what are we going to do?" Lin Shaotang didn't dwell on the issue of salutation, and then asked.

"There are only two ways, one is to constantly enhance our strength, if our strength far exceeds that of the army, even if we don't use any strategy and tactics, we can beat the little devil to the ground." Jin Zhao said with a smile, but then shook his head and said, "But now we can't reach this level in a short period of time, although our Fujian is developing rapidly, but our foundation is too weak after all, and it is not so easy to catch up with and surpass Yueben in an all-round way!" ”

"And what about the other way?" Lin Shaotang saw that Jin Zhao had stopped, and hurriedly asked without continuing to speak.

Jin Zhao said with a smile, "This second method is simple, that is, to constantly improve our strategy and tactics, so that the little devil can't figure out our routines at all." ”

"Oh!" Lin Shaotang was stunned for a moment, and secretly thought of this simplicity in his heart? It doesn't seem that simple!

At this moment, the armored car suddenly stopped, the door opened, and a staff officer stood up and said loudly, "Report to the general seat!" The front has already arrived at Xu Xiake Town, and found out in the town whether the army will launch an attack. ”

Jin Zhao waved his hand and said, "Don't use it for the time being, order the troops to rest in place!" ”

"Yes!" The staff officer answered, turned and left.

"Why don't you attack, aren't we going to make peace with the defenders in Wuxi City?" Lin Shaotang asked suspiciously.

Jin Zhao said angrily, "What are you doing in Wuxi, sending it to the door and letting the little devils surround us?" ”

Lin Shaotang suddenly realized, and said with a smile, "It seems that I am too anxious!" So how is the president going to fight this battle? ”

"Fight slowly!" Jin Zhao said with a smile, "I don't know how the chief of staff is preparing over there!" Jin Zhao said and stepped out of the armored car, and Lin Shaotang also walked down. Jin Zhao raised his head and glanced at the southern sky, and sighed helplessly.

At this time, a captain staff officer ran over quickly, "Report to the general seat!" Nanjing side emergency call. Jin Zhao didn't seem to hear it, still looking up at the sky in the distance.

Lin Shaotang stepped forward to take the telegram from the staff officer's hand, then waved his hand, and the staff officer turned around and left. Lin Shaotang's face couldn't help but change after reading the telegram, "General seat, Tang Shengzhi called and said that the army outside Nanjing had all retreated eastward along the Beijing-Shanghai Railway. ”

"Oh! That's a good thing! Jin Zhao said casually, "It seems that Matsui Shigen has completely given up the idea of attacking Nanjing, and Nanjing has been saved." Jin Zhao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, history has finally changed completely because of his arrival, and now Jin Zhao's confidence has increased greatly. Jin Zhao was always unsure whether he could change history before, but now Jin Zhao can be said to be full of confidence.

"A good thing?" Lin Shaotang felt that he really couldn't keep up with the commander-in-chief's train of thought, and said with a puzzled face, "There are enough reinforcement divisions outside Nanjing City, if they are rushed to Wuxi, then we will be in big trouble, is it because we break through as soon as possible." ”

"Breakout?" A smile appeared on the corner of Jin Zhao's mouth, "It's the little devil who should break through now." ”

At the headquarters of the 25th Group Army in Huzhou City, an armored car stopped at the entrance of the headquarters, the door opened, and a young officer wearing the rank of major general walked up from the car and strode towards the headquarters.

After the young major general officer entered the headquarters, he went straight to the war room, and at this time, the chief of staff, Wen Yingxing, seemed to have been notified and greeted him with a smile. The major general officer immediately stood up and saluted a standard military salute, "Report to the staff!" Zhang Lingfu, commander of the Reading Brigade of the 25th Group Army, was ordered to come to report, please instruct! ”

Wen Yingxing replied with a serious military salute and said with a smile, "Zhong Lin! You're finally here, I'll be waiting for you! "Zhang Lingfu's real name is Zhang Zhonglin, the word Lingfu. Later, he was arrested and imprisoned for the murder of his wife in the ancient city. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Jin Zhao personally pleaded with Lao Jiang and released Zhang Lingfu and changed his name to Zhang Lingfu, the word Zhonglin. The name and the word were swapped, which can be said to be a change of soup but not a change of medicine. Later, Zhang Lingfu came to Fujian and was appointed by Jin Zhao as the commander of the Reading Brigade. This reading brigade is Jin Zhao's starting force, and it is the elite of the Fujian army, which especially shows Jin Zhao's importance to Zhang Lingfu.

"As soon as he received the order from the head office, he immediately rushed over at night." Zhang Lingfu replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Yes!" Wen Yingxing nodded, "Where are you Reading Force Brigade now?" ”

"I'm on my way to Yixing, and I'll be able to get to Yixing in two hours." Zhang Lingfu replied.

"Yes! That's it! Wen Yingxing frowned involuntarily, raised his hand and looked at his watch, it was already noon, and finally Wen Yingxing sighed helplessly and said, "Originally, you came from afar, you should have let you rest first, but now the frontline is urgent, so." Speaking of this, Wen Yingxing also hesitated.

But Zhang Lingfu immediately straightened up and said with a serious face, "Please sit down and give orders, our Reading Brigade will ensure that the task will be completed." ”

"Good!" Wen Yingxing said with a smile, "After you arrive in Yixing, you will immediately start preparing for the attack, and early tomorrow morning, cooperate with the friendly forces to launch a comprehensive attack on the Yue army, and be sure to completely defeat the 15th Division of the Yue Army in the shortest possible time!" ”

"Yes! Mission completion guaranteed! Zhang Lingfu replied loudly, then saluted Wen Yingxing again, and then turned around and left the headquarters.

Wen Yingxing couldn't help but sigh when he looked at Zhang Lingfu's departing back, turned to a staff officer beside him and said, "Is there any movement in the Eastern Front army?" ”

"After the retreat of the 3rd Division, the 18th Division and the 114th Division stopped attacking. The 101st Division launched several attacks, but were all repulsed by the 211th Division. The staff officer replied casually.

Wen Yingxing nodded, and put down the heart he was carrying. Wen Yingxing always felt that Jin Zhao's move was really a bit risky. Jin Zhao had already decided to concentrate superior forces to annihilate the Western Front Corps of the Yue Army. However, in this way, only two divisions of 210 and 211 were left on the Eastern Front, but they had to face the army of three divisions. Although the 18th and 114th Divisions had suffered heavy losses, their strength was far from recovering. But after all, there are still more than 20,000 troops, plus the 101st Division, which is 50,000 troops. Can only two divisions of troops hold off the 50,000 army of the little devils? Wen Yingxing really didn't know the bottom in his heart. But now I heard that the 18th Division and the 114th Division had no intention of attacking, and they had obviously been frightened by the Fujian army. Although the 101st Division launched several attacks, they were easily repelled by the 211th Division, and obviously did not do their best, which shows that Matsui Shigen did not have the idea of breaking through from the Eastern Front, so Wen Yingxing was completely relieved.

Time flies, and for the next half a day, there are no new changes on the battlefield. At this time, both sides of the Chinese government are actively adjusting their deployments. Matsui Shigen's intention was very simple, that is, to concentrate his forces to annihilate the Fujian army in Wuxi and Jiangyin, and to win back a city, so that the army would not lose too badly. But Jin Zhao's appetite is very big, and the purpose of Jin Zhao this time is to defeat all the troops concentrated on the Western Front in one fell swoop. As night fell, the positions of both sides became calmer, but this calm was tinged with a hint of weirdness, as if to indicate that a storm was coming, and in this coming storm, who could be the final winner? Maybe only God knows! (To be continued.) )
