Hanjia Temple, the Second Army Command.

In the war room, the stars shine.

The fifth war zone was led by Li Delin, and dozens of generals and schools came to Taierzhuang for inspection. In fact, everyone who knows it knows that inspection is not only a saying that external things are not about looking at each other.

The real purpose is to hold a secret military meeting for the counter-offensive deployment of the Taierzhuang Battle.

"Sir Li is here!"

"Haha, sit down, sit down!" Li Delin walked in quickly from the door wearing a black cloak, followed by Bai Jiansheng and others, smiling. Obviously, he was in a very good mood when he came to inspect this time.

Luo Yufeng received the order and handed over the task to Niu Xianmin and Qin Yankun, so he brought the adjutant and a squad of guards over.

He was the brigade commander who participated in this high-level military conference.

Therefore, in the order of position, he could only sit close to the door. In fact, he didn't care what position he was doing, as long as it didn't affect the war.

Except for several division commanders of the Second Army, many people were not familiar with them, so they seemed a little isolated.

"The Japanese Segu Detachment has been fighting in Taierzhuang for nine days, and its spirit has gradually been destroyed by me. More than 20,000 troops were attracted by us on the front line from Zaozhuang to Taierzhuang. The conditions for the Military Commission decided to fight a large annihilation battle in Taierzhuang are ripe. We have been preparing for this battle for a few months, and it is time to close the net!"

"The Japanese army is advancing wildly, so we should teach them a lesson!"

"We have more than 100,000 people, and only 20,000 Japanese troops, so we are completely sure to eat each other..."

Luo Yufeng sat in the last seat. He knew that he had little experience. He could only listen to such a meeting and was not qualified to speak unless he was ordered.

Li Delin was very satisfied, at least the army was very excited and fighting spirit.

"The War Zone Commander-in-Chief's Office has formulated a counterattack plan. Time is a little rushed. Please give me some suggestions!" Chief of Staff Xu Yanmou stood up and waved to the deputy chief behind him.

The deputy chief nodded, and a huge battle map was spread out and hung on the wall.

"Please see, this is the current situation of the enemy and us in Taierzhuang. The Japanese Sega Detachment lined up in Zaotai Highway. The attacking the vanguard was in Taierzhuang. The main force of the Japanese army attacking Taierzhuang was the 63rd Regiment..."

In the past, everyone only cared about their frontal enemies and took into account the enemy situation nearby. Now they are standing on the overall battlefield and examining the enemy situation, which is a completely different feeling.

From the map, the Japanese army went deep into the ground alone and surrounded by GJ. However, due to the gap in strength, the Japanese army could not care at all about the danger of their own going deep into the ground alone. Instead, they attacked everywhere, and the use of troops reached its limit.

This is very dangerous!

Although the Japanese army's attack is fierce now, its internal strength has been almost exhausted. If it can capture Taierzhuang, it may still take the initiative. But now Taierzhuang has been destroyed in ruins, but it is still in the hands of the squadron.

"Now we have about 60,000 Tang Army troops in the north, 40,000 Yunnan Army troops in the south, the Second Army and the New 38th Brigade, which together have more than 60,000 people. There is also a unit of Sichuan Army in the Hanzhuang line..."

"Comparison of troops, we reached six to one, or even seven to one, and the weapons and equipment were almost there, but we had ammunition sufficient. After the Japanese ammunition was consumed, they could no longer be received. Their logistics supplies were not as good as ours..."

"The Japanese army in Linyi cannot be ignored. Once we fight here, the Japanese army in Linyi will definitely reinforce. We should exclude the alert troops!"

"In Linyi, the two generals Zhang and Pang joined forces, and the reinforcements of the 46th Army, can basically ensure that the Japanese army find it difficult to cross the south of Linyi to step down from Taierzhuang!" Xu Yanmou explained.

"Do you have no objection to the counterattack plan?"

"No!"

"No!"

"Okay, then I'll talk about the specific deployment!" Li Delin left his seat, walked to the map, picked up the baton and took a point in Hanzhuang's position. "On the left, a part of the Sichuan Army launched an attack on the Japanese army in Hanzhuang area, restraining the Japanese army in Hanzhuang area. The 30th Division of the Second Army, the Cavalry Brigade of the Second Army, and the Cavalry Brigade, went north along the Lintong Highway to warn the Japanese army in Lincheng. The 31st Division and the 60th Army's 182nd Division followed Zhangzhuang, Wulifang attacked Nigou, Zhanshan, and the 110th Division and Wupo made an attacking attitude towards Yi County. On the right, the 27th Division, the 60th Army's 183rd Division were from Gengzhuang, Yuzhuang...

The 184th Division strengthened the front of Taierzhuang...

The 59th Army, the Third Army and the 46th Army monitored the Fifth Division of the Japanese Army.

The 20th Legion, from north to south, annihilated the Japanese army's area surrounded by Zizaozhuang to Taierzhuang. The expected combat time is about five days."

"Captain Li, who should be responsible for the enemy of Taierzhuang?"

"The New 38th Brigade fought hard in Taierzhuang for nine days and nights, with heavy casualties and severe energy injuries. After the counterattack, the 184th Division will replace the New 38th Brigade and rest and supplement it." Xu Yanmou said, this was also the decision they discussed on the way here.

The new 38th Brigade cannot be allowed to continue to fight, otherwise this elite force will be destroyed.

"There is no problem for the new 38th Brigade to retreat and rest. However, the Japanese army in Taierzhuang City belongs to us, and no one can take it away!" Luo Yufeng stood up and said loudly.

"Brave Commander Luo, the casualties of the Brigade are too great. You can't let you fight any more. Let's take it down..."

"No, I, Luo Yufeng, made a military order. Taierzhuang must be complete in my hands. Otherwise, I will not be able to explain to Chief Li and the president!"

He has brought out all Chiang Kai-shek, and this cannot be ignored. Moreover, even if the New 38th Brigade does not serve as the main force of the counterattack, there is still a place to rely on.

Li Delin exchanged views with Bai Jiansheng, Liu Weizhang and others.

"Okay, I agree to let you deal with the enemy in Taierzhuang City, and the enemy outside the city will be dealt with by the 184th Division!" Li Delin stood up and announced.

Although it has already taken a huge contribution to defending Taierzhuang, Luo Yufeng is still a little unwilling to accept it. However, he has no way to fight for anything. The New 38th Brigade suffered too much casualties, especially the main force, with more than half of the sacrifices, and most of them are lying in the field hospital waiting for treatment, and not many are in a hurry.

The two main groups of the Second Regiment and the Third Regiment also suffered more than one-third of the casualties. In addition to the 7th Armored Regiment and the Armored Brigade, there were considerable losses to the weapons and equipment.

The 7th Artillery Regiment and the Armored Brigade were originally prepared for counterattack, so in the nine-day battle, except for the armored brigade used in the Beiluo night attack, they disappeared.

The 38th Brigade, with a total strength of nearly 12,000 people, fought in nine days. In addition to the wounded and non-combat reductions, the number of people who can fight is only half.

No wonder Li Delin quietly shed tears after hearing the huge casualties of the New 38th Brigade.

At this time, no one dared to say that Chiang Kai-shek used the Xuzhou Battle to eliminate miscellaneous brands. Seeing that the new 38th Brigade was gone in one battle.

Let's try it if you guard Taierzhuang?

Li Delin is ambitious at this moment. Without you, Tang Keqin, I have 60 troops, and GJ is not the only elite force, so I, Old Li, can't defeat the Segu Detachment?

"Sun Fanglu!"

"arrive!"

"I will appoint you as the commander-in-chief of the left road in the name of the commander-in-chief of the Fifth War Zone to command the offensive on the left road!"

"Thanks to Chief Li for his trust, the ministry will definitely kill the Japanese devils!" Sun Fanglu said loudly.

"Lu Xiong!"

"Get rid of Brother Lu on the right!"

"Don't worry, Duke De, Lu Xiong will definitely live up to his expectations!" Lu Xiong respected him solemnly and was still very grateful for Li Delin's trust in him so much.

"The counterattack time is tentatively scheduled to be 4 a.m. tomorrow. This time is the most sleepy time. You can catch the Japanese army off guard. Let's go back and prepare. The troops must arrive at the attack position before tomorrow!"

"yes!"

"After meeting!"

"Brave Commander Luo, please stay!"

"yes!"

Li Delin summoned him alone, obviously for a purpose, perhaps to appease him. After all, for such a big battle, the New 38th Brigade was the original initiator, and it was indeed a bit unfair to only solve the task of solving the Japanese army in Taierzhuang City.

But unfairness is nothing. War is not about politics, but about balance. Li Delin's deployment is based on winning this battle. Other factors can only be considered.

You can't delay the battle just because you have to give up the credit to him because you take care of the New 38th Brigade?

This is also impossible. It is not impossible for Li Delin to be partial, but he cannot do it too much, otherwise others will have opinions.

"Sir Li, what's the matter with you if you are looking for a job department?"

"Brig Commander Luo, today's meeting was also because of your telegram, which strengthened the determination of the War Zone Commander's Office. The main force of the counterattack did not consider your brigade, mainly because you suffered too many casualties and fought hard for so many days in a row. If you were allowed to serve as the main attacker, I, the commander-in-chief of the War Zone, would not be able to get over it!"

"Thanks to Chief Li for his concern."

"You are unhappy, I know, but the way to lead a soldier is to relax and relax. The string in your mind cannot be too tight, as it will easily break if it is too tight."

"The Ministry of Justice understands, thanks to Chief Li for his teachings!"

"Stay you down and discuss something with you." Li Delin said, "You Commander Leng will allocate the 7th Artillery Regiment and the Armored Brigade to you. This counterattack operation, I hope you can let these two troops cooperate with other troops to fight."

Li Delin knew that in terms of heavy firepower, GJ was still far behind the Japanese army. If the heavy artillery regiment and armored brigade that could be transferred to the new 38th Brigade were used, then the firepower disadvantage could be reversed, and at least there would be no means of suppressing the opponent.

Luo Yufeng had already guessed that Li Delin was leaving him, and it must be the business of "heavy artillery regiment and armored brigade". However, the new 38th Brigade belonged to the Fifth War Zone, so Lao Li did not need to discuss it with him.

But Lao Li put down his posture and discussed it with him, which is a kind of respect and a kind of attention.

Even if he didn't greet him, Li Delin could still order the heavy artillery regiment and the armored brigade to be transferred. He was the commander-in-chief of the war zone and he had this power.

"Captain Li, you can transfer the 7th Artillery Regiment and the Armored Brigade to use it, but the vocational department has only one condition!" Luo Yufeng said.

"you say!"

"I don't want them to be split and used separately, so I can use them in a centralized manner if I want to use them."

"Concentrated use?" Li Delin frowned slightly. He wanted to come over the heavy artillery regiment and the armored brigade, just to split it apart and strengthen the firepower of several troops.

Luo Yufeng actually made a request not to be used separately, which was completely contrary to his original intention.

"Whether it is a heavy artillery regiment or an armored brigade, only by using it together can it exert its huge combat effectiveness. Beiluo ambush is the use of the assault tactics of the armored brigade group. If there were no armored brigade, we would not have been able to annihilate more than 1,000 Japanese troops in such a short time that night. There were also successful battle examples when we were in Pukou." Luo Yufeng explained.

The armored brigade is used in a concentrated manner, and there are no problem with this. There are not many generals in China who understand armor tactics, so Li Delin is not very conflicted.

Even if the heavy artillery regiment had to be used in a concentrated manner, he would be a little unacceptable. How to use limited artillery to exert its maximum combat effectiveness has always been advocated separately, and this would not be easily targeted by the Japanese army, and the chance of being wiped out by the entire army was much smaller.

Heavy artillery are all treasures, and they can’t even buy them even if you want to.

"If Chief Li agrees to this condition, I will hand over the command of the heavy artillery regiment and the armored brigade immediately." Luo Yufeng said.

"Brig Commander Luo, the heavy artillery regiment is only assigned to your department for use, and is also affiliated with the war zone. The war zone has the right to decide its use. As for how to use it, it depends on the situation, right?"

"The Seventh Cannon Regiment was asked by Commander Leng from the president, but it was temporarily assigned to our brigade for use, and it was his intention to use it in a concentrated manner..." Luo Yufeng stopped talking about the extra words, and I believe Chief Li could hear them.

It was Leng Feng's meaning, and Li Delin had to pay attention to it after hearing this.
