Conquest?

Feasting? Or is it a running water seat?

Or a military commander?

Or in the 5th theater of operations?

How did Li Bai manage the two? I don't know if it was in wartime?

I almost thought that the Anti-Japanese War had been won, and the singing and dancing everywhere had been leveled? Concubines are making such a big move. If you marry a wife, wouldn't you ......

Ridiculous!

Decided to check it out.

Hold a person.

I'm here for a feast. Seems to be a wealthy businessman.

Meeting is an ocean. Pull in relationships.

Sure enough, the rich businessman took the ocean, and he can be said to know everything about Zhang Chu, and he has endless words.

"Brother Tai, which big man is marrying?"

"Li Jianwen, commander of the 58th Army."

"Fifty-eighth Army?"

"That's right! Newly tuned! ”

"Really?"

Zhang Chu nodded thoughtfully.

Newly transferred?

Fifty-eighth Army?

Is it the army of the Katsura family? Or is it some miscellaneous card?

"Brother, look at it!"

"What?"

"This Commander Li is a descendant of Huangpu and has won the trust of his superiors. You're on good terms with him, absolutely right. ”

"Whampoa?"

"Yes. At the same time, there were also many army commanders such as Liu Kan and Zhong Song. ”

"Oh?"

Zhang Chu's mind moved slightly.

In the fifth theater of operations, so many new troops have come?

Or are they all Whampoa descendants?

Liu Kan seems to be the first phase of Whampoa. Zhong Song is the second phase of Whampoa. It's all old qualifications.

It's older than Wang Yaowu's qualifications!

No wonder Li Bai and the two did not come forward. Dare to be affectionate is mainly anti-guest.

Keep asking.

The rich merchant really knew a lot.

In these days, the best business to do is the business of the army. But the worst thing to do is also the business of the army.

If you don't have enough doors, you can't go alongside each other. But once you are next to each other, you will definitely make a lot of money.

The premise is that you have enough access to it. When the business is done, the money can be obtained.

"There are a total of seven corps in the Fifth War Zone. Five of them are all descendants of Whampoa. The rich merchant said mysteriously, "Now, those stationed in Xuzhou are all descendants of Huangpu." The rest of the troops were stationed elsewhere. Even the commander of the war zone went to Suxian to garrison. ”

"Are they in Su County?" Zhang Chu frowned.

Li Bai and the others are not in Xuzhou? Actually pushed aside?

Awesome!

The Huangpu lineage can squeeze out the commander of the theater!

It's a little unpleasant.

There are also many factions in the Whampoa lineage.

It seems that Wang Yaowu, Yu Chengwan, and Fang Xianjue are more capable of fighting. Worth helping.

But some people don't really want to get in touch with them.

Especially this Li Jianwen.

Concubines are also a big deal. It's really a big disapproval from the world.

By the way, Yang Wenquan......

In the latent opening, the surnamed Dai came to Tianjin in person to deal with Yang Wenquan's concubine......

Oh, Yang Wenquan is a miscellaneous brand. It's not Whampoa.

"Brother, what's wrong with you? I see why your face is not very good......" The rich merchant asked Zhang Chu suspiciously.

"I'm fine." Zhang Chu slowly retracted his thoughts.

Continue inside for the banquet. Eat a meal.

But I didn't see the Commander Li. I didn't see Liu Kan, Zhong Song and others.

I guess it's a high-class private room. Separate from the usual guests.

Very lively indeed. There is hardly any atmosphere of war left. There are also a large number of singers and dancers to help the fun.

A faction of singing and dancing.

I can't help but think of a sentence: The merchant girl doesn't know the hatred of the country, and she still sings the flowers in the backyard across the river.

What is the way of the world......

After eating. Leave Xuzhou directly.

Since Li Bai and the others are not here, what is he doing staying?

Return.

Arrive at Su County.

Sure enough, Li Bai and both of them were there.

"Sir Li!"

"Chief Bai!"

Zhang Chuli saluted.

Chief Li was delighted. Chief Bai had a stiff face.

It can be seen that Xiao Zhuge is very unhappy.

"I'm from Xuzhou ......," Zhang Chu said bluntly.

"What do you see?" Xiao Zhuge asked stupidly, "I heard that it's very lively over there?" ”

Li Jianwen, the commander of the 58th Army, openly accepted concubines, put on a big banquet, and the whole city celebrated. Wealthy businessmen from all over the world attended the meeting one after another. Zhang Chu was straightforward, "It is estimated that he wants to make money." ”

"These people......" Chief Li shook his head.

"Bullshit!" Chief Bai scolded indignantly, "A bunch of miscellaneous pieces. Specifically to cause trouble in the rear. ”

"Why did you come to Suxian?"

"Command the troops to counterattack Jinling."

"The Fifty-Eighth Army does not participate?"

"They are the second echelon."

"Liu Kan and Zhong Song, too?"

"It's all!"

Xiao Zhuge looked disdainful.

Although, Xiao Zhuge has some strategy. But the gas volume is really not large.

This time, the Huangpu descendants forcibly occupied Xuzhou and drove them to Suxian. Chief Li could barely accept it. Xiao Zhuge was very unhappy.

Always holding my breath. Relations with the Whampoa system gradually deteriorated.

In fact, Xiao Zhuge is very resentful, and at a critical time, he will dismantle Lao Jiang's platform.

In the Huaihai Campaign, he held Song Xilian's corps.

If Song Xilian's corps also entered the Huaihai battlefield, the pressure on Nakano would be even greater. It's hard to say what the final result will be.

Huaye fought Huang Botao here, and the use of troops also reached the limit.

As a result, Xiao Zhuge cooperated with the dismantling.

Lao Jiang can also be regarded as self-reaping.

"Actually, the Huangpu family is very capable of fighting......" Zhang Chu suddenly said meaningfully.

"What do you mean?" Xiao Zhuge frowned suddenly.

"Find an opportunity for them to apply to go to the front on their own." Zhang Chu explained bluntly.

"Oh?" Xiao Zhuge heard the meaning.

Let them go to the front on their own?

Those Whampoa descendants, they are not moving. But you can put a trap on them.

What traps?

A credit to you, of course. Others were originally here to grab credit.

If there is a low-hanging fruit, it is estimated that the Whampoa descendants can run faster than rabbits. You don't need an order from the Theater Commander's Department at all, you will act yourself.

The question is, where is the credit?

"Is Tada retreating?"

"Yes."

"Could it be the Japanese invaders' plan to lure the enemy in?"

"Yes!"

"Then let's get out of the way and let the Huangpu family make up for it."

"Oh?"

Xiao Zhuge narrowed his eyes.

It seems to be possible.

Tada's retreat is clearly a conspiracy.

However, those people in the Whampoa lineage are eager to make meritorious contributions, and they may not care about Tada Jun's counterattack. One might even expect Tada's counterattack.

After all, the descendant army that arrived in the Fifth Theater this time had five armies and more than 120,000 people. It is not an exaggeration to say that the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong.

The Japanese army commanded by Tada Jun had only three divisions and less than 60,000 people.

Tadajun's passive defense is okay, and if he wants to counterattack, it is estimated that he does not have enough troops.

"Lao Jiang really wants to show himself ......"

"Good!"

Chief Li made a decisive decision.

Immediately order the troops to stop the pursuit. Gradually move the front out of the way.

When asked from above, it was said that the other units of the Fifth Theater had been fighting fiercely for a long time, and they were all very tired and urgently needed to be reorganized. For the time being, there is no way to fight again.

Sure enough, the Huangpu clan stationed near Xuzhou immediately launched an attack to the south.

Soon, he got into a scuffle with Tada Jun.

Tada commanded the troops to counterattack. Trying to give the Chinese army a head-on blow. But it didn't work out.

At the forefront was the national army commanded by Liu Kan, which also had a certain combat effectiveness.

He joined forces with the troops commanded by Zhong Song and withstood the first round of counterattacks by Tada Jun. The fighting was quite fierce on both sides.

"Yaga Yalu!"

"Bastard!"

Tada's brows furrowed.

His plan is indeed to lure the enemy deep and then counterattack in a wave.

Trying to wipe out part of the pursuing Chinese army with a fierce counterattack. So that the Chinese army will not dare to pursue it easily in the future.

However......

The plan was not entirely successful.

Fought back.

But the counterattack effect is average.

The Chinese army is clearly not so weak. Actually withstood it.

In fact, the Japanese were tired too.

They also fought continuously, with little rest in between.

The morale is not as fanatical as it used to be.

Recently, it has suffered consecutive blows.

Anqing was defeated.

Chaoxian was defeated.

The number of Japanese soldiers who lost money was increasing.

These are all the elite troops of the Japanese invaders. There are a lot of veterans. It's all broken. Nature affects combat effectiveness.

The newly transferred troops were all newly reorganized. Haven't experienced a bloody battle yet. Combat effectiveness is average.

"Liu Kan......"

"Zhong Song ......"

Zhang Chu observed the battle situation thoughtfully.

These two guys are not waste.

Unexpectedly, he actually withstood Tadajun's counterattack. So that Tada Jun has nothing to do.

A plan immediately came to mind.

Surround Tada?

Exterminate?

Hurriedly look at the map.

It seems possible. Split the bracket.

To the south of Tada Jun is the New Fourth Army. As long as the New Fourth Army can withstand the two-sided attacks of Tada Jun and Hata Shunroku, the Fifth War Zone will be able to eat Tada Jun.

This is the same as the Battle of Anqing.

They all cut out a part of the Japanese invaders, and then surrounded and eliminated them.

The tactics are old-fashioned.

But it works.

It is hardly difficult to implement.

The only difficulty is whether the New Fourth Army in the south can withstand such heavy pressure.

"I have an idea......

"You'd better go to the New Fourth Army in person."

"It's good!"

Zhang Chu nodded.

The success or failure of this plan is indeed in the New Fourth Army.

Once the plan of the partition encirclement is executed. Most of the pressure will be passed on to the New Fourth Army.

Shunroku Hata in the south has ten divisions and more than 200,000 people in his hands. The strength is still very impressive.

The New Fourth Army in Jiangbei, in addition to Commander Chen's troops, is the directly subordinate troops under the personal command of Commander Ye and Deputy Commander Xiang. But the speed of development of the latter is not as fast as that of Commander Chen.

Optimistically, it is estimated that the troops under the direct command of these two army commanders may be less than 30,000 people.

Less than Commander Chen's.

Arrange ammunition replenishment. Replenish ammunition for the 5th theater of operations.

Then go.

All the way south. Arrive near Bengbu. The military headquarters of the New Fourth Army is here.

But only Commander Ye is here. Another army commander, Deputy Army Commander Xiang, had already led his troops to Yancheng. The two commanders seemed reluctant to stay together.

Of course, these are all big guys, and they won't have anything to do with Zhang Chu.

What Zhang Chu is looking for is actually an acquaintance.

Mainly Wei Chengping, Hu Jiuyi, and Yue Lei.

I just saw Wei Chengping.

"Huh?"

Wei Chengping thought he was dazzled.

Zhang Chu actually appeared here! Suddenly, it came out of nowhere.

"Isn't that me?" Zhang Chu smiled.

"Oops!" Wei Chengping hurriedly threw down the work in his hand and ran out.

Warm hugs.

What a surprise. Joy is beyond words.

"I'm passing by!"

Zhang Chu said casually.

In fact, I came to the top of the New Fourth Army. Later decided to change his mind.

It's better for him to hide some of this kind of strategic problem. Conveying it to others may be more effective than saying it directly.

And Wei Chengping is a good candidate.

"That's not going to work, we have to stay a few more days!" Wei Chengping pulled and didn't let go.

"You can stay for a few days." Zhang Chu nodded.

"Good, good!" Wei Chengping was satisfied.

Two people entered the house. Sit tight.

It is a brick house. The walls are all mud bricks. Above are tiles.

"What have you been up to lately?"

"I'm not going to fight. It can only be busy with some logistical things. ”

"Need help?"

"Yes!"

Wei Chengping hurriedly said.

Absolutely!

It's so needed!

Zhang Chu can get weapons and ammunition!

It's still a very large amount.

Seriously, sometimes, Wei Chengping can't imagine how Zhang Chu got so many weapons and ammunition!

"Make a list!"

"Good!"

Wei Chengping was also polite.

A list was immediately made. Then handed it to Zhang Chu.

After Zhang Chu read it, he added a zero directly behind the ammunition. Wei Chengping's eyes suddenly became dull.

What?

15 million rounds of ammunition, changed to 150 million rounds?

10,000 shells, changed to 100,000?

Oops, too much, too much......

"You might have to fight a big battle." Zhang Chu said intentionally or unintentionally.

"What big battle?" Wei Chengping was puzzled.

He hadn't heard of it.

As the saying goes, before the soldiers and horses move, the grain and grass go first.

If there really was any big war, it was impossible for him not to know about it. Logistics is also very important.

"Divide and surround Tada."

"Oh?"

Wei Chengping's eyes flashed.

He knew the name Tada. Right next to them.

Strictly speaking, the Japanese invaders commanded by Tada Jun were "sandwiched" in the middle by the New Fourth Army. To the east is Yancheng. To the west is Bengbu.

Of course, the so-called clamp is only superficial. In fact, this clip has no force.

Because of the Japanese army, several divisions and regiments have extremely strong combat effectiveness. Relatively speaking, the combat effectiveness of the New Fourth Army was relatively weak. Clip, in fact, looks.

"Whose plan?"

"I don't know. Probably the fifth theater of operations. ”

"They're going to do something to Tada?"

"The premise is whether our New Fourth Army can hold up. Can you sever the relationship between Tada Jun and Jinling? ”

"This ......"

Wei Chengping wanted to speak and stopped.

He is not a military cadre. I don't know much about this part.

But it feels like you can try it.

"Arrange for someone to receive ammunition!" Zhang Chu staggered the topic.

"Good!" Wei Chengping hurriedly arranged.

Immediately, a large-scale airdrop began. All of them are all kinds of ammunition.

The first is the bullet. That's 150 million rounds. There are all kinds of calibers. The main one, of course, is the 7.92 mm Mauser rifle cartridge.

And then there were mortar shells, and 75-mm mountain artillery shells.

"Do you want howitzers?"

"What?"

"Give you a regiment of 155mm howitzers?"

"Huh?"

Wei Chengping was stunned.

I thought I had heard it wrong.

How big?

155？

Not 105?

He saw only 105-mm howitzers. What is the concept of 155 mm, I really don't know.

How big is that?

"I have 122 mm, 155 mm, whatever you want."

"Let me think about it. Let me think. ”

Wei Chengping fell into the trouble of happiness.

You can't choose.

Each has its own advantages and disadvantages.

"Forget it, I'll give you one of each!"

"What?"

"A regiment of 105-mm howitzers. A regiment of 122-mm howitzers. A regiment of 155-mm howitzers. ”

"Huh?"

Wei Chengping was only surprised.

God!

Three howitzer regiments!

Can he handle it?
