Xuzhou, the basement of a villa in the south of the city, the command center of the Fifth War Zone has moved from the Taotai Yamen in the city to this place. The Japanese bombing of Xuzhou for several days has prevented Li Delin from taking measures continuously.

But in time, he transferred the command center of the Fifth War Zone, and the new command center was still bombed by the Japanese army.

Just today, a Japanese bomb was dropped and killed a messenger beside him. Although it was just a lonely bomb, it also means that there is no safe place in Xuzhou.

The Japanese naval aviation forces frequently flew to Xuzhou.

Obviously, the Japanese Navy is not willing to be lonely and will interfere in the war on land. If they hadn't had the ability to drive the warships to land, they would have probably arrived.

When Chiang Kai-shek arrived in Zhengzhou, he might be coming to Xuzhou, but Xuzhou is too dangerous now, so he really doesn't recommend President Chiang to come.

The battle to encircle and annihilate the Japanese army did not stop. Li Delin had no kind intentions and gave the Japanese a rest. Now the fifth zone has more than 100,000 people surrounded the Japanese army with less than 15,000 people, so they naturally took turns to fight!

Carry a wheel war for the Japanese!

At this time, we must not relax at all. The generals on the front line are staring at the battlefield every minute. Who dares to sleep at this time?

Now everyone knows what this battle means!

"Sir Li, the ship transporting fuel and ammunition supplies has already docked in Hanzhuang."

"Let the car battalion be shipped immediately, and be sure to transport it to the new 38th Brigade tonight." Li Delin was shocked. Once the tank's fuel and repair parts arrived, the tanks of the armored brigade could recover their combat effectiveness, and the final blow would be even more sure!

"yes!"

"However, Chief Li and Deputy Chief of Staff Leng are under great pressure. The 14th Division of the Japanese Army has already started crossing the river this evening. They have also built two pontoon bridges on the ferry, one leaving the people and the other leaving the equipment."

"Does Leng Guoguang have a telegram?"

"Not yet. The earliest one was sent back an hour ago. Deputy Chief of Staff Leng had just arrived in Yuncheng. The details may not be clear at the moment."

"What's the situation in Jining and Yanzhou?"

"Leng Guoguang urgently transferred Liao Sen to take charge of Jining. Most of the main forces of the Honorary First Division are still concentrated in Jining and Yanzhou front line. Two mixed brigades of the Japanese Kwantung Army are moving south quickly, and they are the first to bear the brunt!"

"This time it's really hard for Leng Guoguang to be attacked from all sides. Facing the powerful forces of one Japanese division and two brigades, if it were someone else, it would have been scared to death!" Li Delin said with emotion.

"Yes, although there are 70,000 or 80,000 people in the entire Western Shandong Corps, the only ones that can really fight are the Honorary Division 1 and the Third Army. These divisions have lost troops and lost generals in the early battles, and are not enough to fight against the Japanese army. The only one who can compete with the Japanese army is Honorary Division!" Huang Xuecun said, "But the Honorary Division has only more than 20,000 people. Now one-third of them have been divided into Juancheng, hey..."

"Yes, if we had a few more honorary divisions in our hands, why would this Japanese devil be so arrogant!" Li Delin angrily punched the table.

"Adminton, please inform Jiansheng, Yan Mou and others. Tonight we will discuss the deployment and retreat plan of the encirclement and anti-Segu Detachment!"

"yes!"

By this time, Li Delin must consider this issue. The Japanese army is powerful and China is weak and poor. It is obvious that it is impossible to fight hard. Chiang Kai-shek's strategy of "for time to space" is correct.

The international situation is not yet clear. If China wants to win the War of Resistance, it cannot be achieved by its own efforts. It must receive assistance from countries around the world.

However, Europe and the United States implemented appeasement policies against Japan and adopted an arms embargo against China. Now only the Soviet Union is fully supporting China, which is also the material basis for the united front of the anti-Japanese war.

Everyone knows what the Soviet Union is for, but the National Government has no other choice at this moment.

A weak country has no diplomacy!

The Japanese were obviously robbers and invaders, but they could import steel, oil and even weapons from Europe and the United States. However, China had money to buy weapons. Germany, which was originally a natural ally with China, gave up on China because of its relations with Japan.

This has to be said to be a kind of irony.

There is no justice between countries, only interests. Justice is just that after you defeat your opponent, others will gild you in the face.

Leng Feng originally wanted to rush to Juancheng overnight, but Yuncheng's defense problem was too great. With the trenches and fortifications they built now, they could not stop the Japanese attack at all.

The hinterland of western Shandong is now very empty. Leng Feng almost placed the forces of the western Shandong Army on the periphery. The three divisions of the Third Army on the south bank of the Yellow River were originally stationed in Jinxiang and Yutai, and Li Hanzhang's troops were transferred to Zoucheng. The few counties at the junction of Su-Lu are basically left with police and security teams.

Once the Japanese army breaks through the Yuncheng defense line and plunges into it, it will be a disaster.

Therefore, Yuncheng must be defended. Only by blocking the Japanese army's advance eastward and southward, Kenji Doihara would not be able to come in even if he saw the emptiness of the hinterland of western Shandong.

In fact, if the Japanese army had the ability to cross Weishan Lake, they could easily enter the Sulu border and would be easier to go south and cut off the Longhai Line.

However, the 10th Division could not do it at all. They had no troops at all. Even if they sent a small force, the entire Nansihu Lake was under the control of the Honorary First Division, all the water passages were blocked, and the Japanese army could not even find a sampan. How could they cross the river?

Otherwise, Leng Feng would not have used all his troops to the periphery so boldly.

In Juancheng, Xie Chengrui received Leng Feng's instructions and later convened an emergency military meeting with officers from all the brigade battalions and battalions to deploy night battles!

The New 37th Brigade was the main force of the Honorary First Division's rebellion in Nanjing. Most of the officers and soldiers of the troops were mainly directed by the Central Army, the Teaching Corps and the Huangpu Army. The officers and soldiers were of the strongest quality. After experiencing life and death experience, they were the best in the entire division, both in combat effectiveness and perseverance.

Of course, they received the most care from Leng Feng. Even the chief officers at level one or more of the troops have participated in training classes or workshops, and it can be said that they are basically Leng Feng's students.

Many of them regard Leng Feng as their idol of worship. It can be said that as long as Leng Feng gives the order, they will never have any doubts and will implement it unconditionally.

The first division has three brigades, and the 37th Brigade is the most loyal Leng Feng army. The second is the New 40th Brigade, and the Sichuan Army's children are most grateful. Leng Feng has also fought with them personally. The iron-fighting Sichuan Army has made great reputations, and the third is the New 39th Brigade. Although its loyalty is slightly worse, it is not bad when fighting. Leng Feng has never discriminated against it. Therefore, compared with ordinary local troops, the loyalty is much higher.

As for the new 38th Brigade, it was the army that Leng Feng started, not to mention that the old commander could not trust him, and Luo Yufeng was even a brother who lived his life together.

In terms of loyalty, it is probably still above the New 37th Brigade.

"The division commander-instructed us that we must drag the Japanese army to the Juancheng area for three days. On the one hand, we will give the Sun-General the Commander-in-Chief time to win the defense in Caozhou. On the other hand, this is also a battle of confidence. We must give the confidence of the Fifth War Zone and the Military Commission in Wuhan. We have the ability to stop the 14th Division of the Japanese army and ensure the safety of the Longhai Railway Line!"

The conference room was a class in a primary school. There were no electric lights, and the candle was lit. Xie Chengrui stood on the podium and solemnly conveyed Leng Feng’s order!

"Three days are not long or short. We still need to brainstorm how to fight this battle. If you have any good ideas, you can say it out." Chief of Staff Han Xianyuan said.

"The Chief of Staff is right. Three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang. There are so many people here, and more than a dozen Zhuge Liang can always get together." Xie Chengrui laughed.

"As long as we fight the Japanese, we have nothing to say, we are right to listen to the teacher!"

"right!"

"We will fight whatever the teacher asks us to fight."

"From Nanjing, I'll give my life to the master's seat. I've killed so many Japanese devils, it's worth it!"

"Huang Daya, we fight the Japanese not for the sake of the teacher alone, for the country, for the nation, and for the millions of Chinese people!"

"Northeastern man, please don't put a high hat on yourself. If the teacher hadn't personally performed surgery on you and saved your life, you still have life to survive until now. If you are afraid of death, you can apply to go home to the baby!"

"Huang Daya, you are talking nonsense and slandering people!"

"I'm a man, yellow mouth and white teeth!"

"Enough, is this a vegetable market? If you want to make a noise, go out and make a noise. Come in after you have enough noise!" Chief of Staff Han Xianyuan was furiously in a row of tables.

He is really a group of arrogant soldiers and powerful generals. Xie Chengrui had known this situation for a long time. He also had a headache at the beginning, but later he got used to it. If these people were like sheep, how could they kill the enemy on the battlefield and make achievements?

"Since our brigade was formed, we have always defeated the enemy with an overwhelming advantage, but this time it was different. The enemy not only had quantity and quality better than us, but also had an absolute advantage in firepower. Therefore, we cannot fight head-on with the enemy. We must deeply analyze the strengths and weaknesses of both sides, avoid the strengths of the enemy, and use our strengths to fight the weaknesses of the enemy. I believe that the teacher has told most of you when teaching the class."

"The Japanese are not familiar with our environment, and most of them can't speak Chinese. During the day, they have planes and cannons, but at night, their planes cannot fly, and the heavy cannons will be lost. We will fight him at night!"

"Yes, fight night battle!"

"Night battles are not easy to fight, and the cooperation requirements for each unit are higher. Do you think you can do it yourself?"

"Why can't we do it? We haven't fought at night. When we were in Nanjing, when we were fighting with the Japanese army in the street, we wouldn't fight to the death one night!"

"That's right, night battles are a good show for us!"

"Since everyone is so confident in Ye Zhan, let's try it out. Tonight, we will take back the lost position!" Xie Chengrui saw that the morale of the army was available, and immediately made a decision.

Of course, this is what Leng Feng hopes, but the specific execution depends on how Xie Chengrui and the others organize it. After all, good tactics also require excellent executors.
