"More than half of the first battalion of the Supplementary Regiment suffered casualties. Should we withdraw our money and rest?"

"No, let them rest on the spot, replenish weapons and ammunition, and can be used as a reserve team if necessary."

"clear!"

"It has been found that the Japanese wing was the 65th Regiment of the 103rd Brigade of the 13th Division, and the wing captain, Colonel Yezhao."

"The 103rd Brigade, is the commander of the brigade Meiji Yamada, slaughtering tens of thousands of **** soldiers in Mufu Mountain, Nanjing?" Leng Feng looked up.

"Yes, it's him."

"This time, I must not let this murderer go." Qiu Qingquan said angrily. Among the tens of thousands of **** soldiers slaughtered in Mufu Mountain, many of them were officers and soldiers of the teaching corps.

"I telegrammed to Chief Li, the commander-in-chief of the Fifth War Zone of Xuzhou, and asked him if he planned to eat the 13th Division, or just wanted to stabilize the battle situation in the southern Huaihe Line and severely damage the 13th Division?"

“Is there any difference?”

"Of course there is. If Chief Li wants to eat the 13th Division, then our current playing style will be conservative. If Chief Li just wants to stabilize the southern line and does not mean to eat the 13th Division, then we can only follow his ideas." Leng Feng said with a close eye on the sand table.

"Well, what you said makes sense. Now the Japanese army in Jiangbei is insufficient, and there are difficulties in replenishing ammunition and materials. This is the best fighter to eat it, but we don't have so much power. If we forcefully launch an attack, we may make a pot of raw rice. We can't eat it or vomit it out, and we will lose one thing and be in a dilemma." Qiu Qingquan nodded.

"I want to remove the 37th Brigade from Dong and Xige Town."

"Can the troops of only 40th Brigade and one brigade stand up to the attack of a Japanese army?" Qiu Qingquan shook his head slightly.

"I believe in the ability of Wu Xinhua and Liang Dong. Besides, we have nothing to lack now. He has more than 7,000 people in a brigade, twice that of the Japanese army. It may be difficult to eat a Japanese army in a brigade. If we want to block the Japanese army in the East, Xige Town should not be a big problem." Leng Feng said.

"You have withdrawn the 37th Brigade. Do you have any plans?"

"Raising **!" Leng Feng's finger gently put a little on the sand table.

"The location of ** is very important, with all connections. If the Japanese army reinforces the Japanese army from Yangzhou, ** is the closest road. Going north can reach Tianchang and Xuyi, and going south can reach Pukou. Occupi will be equivalent to cutting off the retreat route of the Japanese army in Chu County. In this way, we will block all three retreat routes of the Japanese army." Leng Feng gestured.

"Well. It makes sense. Blocking the Japanese army's retreat will create favorable conditions for the elimination of the 13th Division of the Japanese army." Qiu Qingquan nodded.

"Now I'm waiting for Chief Li's reply. If he dares to bet with us once, then we will be crazy with him once. If he doesn't dare to bet, then there is no need for us to take the risk of occupying **, which will lead to the Japanese army's crazy counterattack!" Leng Feng said with a long breath.

Leng Feng has been considering this issue since he stepped onto Uraguchi. The current situation has changed differently from history. The Japanese army on the northern line should still advance towards the historical trajectory. But the Japanese army on the southern line is different.

After two battles of defense in Nanjing, the losses of the Japanese army on the southern front far exceeded the historical situation, not to mention that there were more troops like the national rescue division, which had nearly 30,000 people.

For the Fifth War Zone, the pressure from the Northern Line is of great importance, but the Southern Line is far less pressure than that in history.

The original Wuhan Command planned to fight a war with the Japanese army in Xuzhou area, delaying the time of the Japanese army's attack on Wuhan, and achieving the goal of exchanging space for time.

The Wuhan Command was pessimistic about the final outcome of the battle with the Japanese army in Xuzhou, which means that even if Xuzhou is finished, it will eventually be lost.

Of course, this judgment is still correct.

If Japan launches this war of aggression, if it fails to achieve its goal, it will not be easy to give up, not to mention that Japan's war potential has been released a little bit.

Therefore, even if they fail partially, they will still advance towards their established goals. The difference is just about time.

Then, Leng Feng did not consider the gains and losses of a city and a land, and he always had only one goal. To consume the Japanese army's vitality and its vitality is equivalent to consuming its war potential.

A person's potential is theoretically infinite, but his willpower has a limit, and so does the country.

Xuzhou, commander-in-chief of the Fifth War Zone.

"Captain Li, the 105th Division Leng Feng telegram." Huang Xuecun knocked on the door of Li Delin's office, walked in, handed over a telegram and reported.

"Wait for me, I'll finish writing a few words." Li Delin ordered.

"yes!"

After about two or three minutes, Li Delin called the guard and said, "Take this to the Xuzhou General Chamber of Commerce and say..."

"Snow Village, Telegram?"

"Yes, Chief Li." Huang Xuecun took out the telegram again and handed it over.

Li Delin looked at the content of the telegram, showed a little bit of shock, and his body couldn't help but stand up: "Xuecun, has anyone else seen this telegram?"

"No, you have told me that the telegram from the 105th Division is sent directly to you without having to go through the adjutant's office and the attendant's room." Huang Xuecun explained.

"Well, I understand. Don't mention the content of this telegram to anyone. Go, I want to think about it alone and don't let someone disturb me." Li Delin nodded and gave a solemn command.

"Yes, Chief Li!"

Li Delin held the telegram in his hand and walked back and forth in the study for more than ten times. When he saw the confidential line on the table, he wanted to pick it up several times, but he shrank back.

His heart was already turbulent. Leng Feng's telegram had a great impact on him. At this moment when the whole country was afraid of the Japanese invaders, some people said they wanted to eat some Japanese division.

This is a Japanese standing division, not a Japanese squadron or a brigade. In the eyes of many people, it is simply impossible to do.

How big is the gap between the Japanese army and ****? Just look at the battles in North China, Songhu and Nanjing. Hundreds of thousands of ****s cannot defeat tens of thousands of Japanese troops, and they often collapse at one touch. How can people not regret it?

He really wanted to fight a battle on the southern line of the Jinpu Road, but his goal was to severely damage the Japanese army and achieve the goal of stalemate between the two armies. As long as the Japanese army on the southern line could not go north to aid the Japanese army in North China, this would be enough.

But Leng Feng had even greater ambitions. He not only wanted to fight on the southern front, but also wanted to eat the 13th Division of the Japanese army. I really don’t know if he is arrogant or ignorant, or does he really have this strength?

Is it because of my little record in Nanjing that I really think I have won the world?

Too young!

Too young!

Still too young!

Li Delin picked up the telegram again and read it carefully over and over again. He couldn't help but feel the urge to curse himself. How should he reply to this telegram? If he disagrees with Leng Feng's idea, then he is a leader of the Guangxi clan. Wouldn't the long-time general on the battlefield be looked down upon by a junior and fearing the enemy so much?

But if we really want to eat the 13th Division, relying solely on the little force in our hands, we still need to deal with the Japanese army on the northern line, the mess that the Korean side has left has not been cleaned up.

What's more, his fifth war zone was so short that it was so scary that his hair was whiter in order to dispatch troops and generals. He had to eat the 13th Division. In his opinion, at least 150,000 troops were needed to concentrate.

But the total army he had was less than 200,000, and most of them were miscellaneous cards. He had no way to master the combat power. As the commander of the Fifth War Zone, he was walking on thin ice and struggling step by step.

Maintaining the current situation is exhausted. You must know that he is determined to fight a battle on the southern line of the Jinpu Road. It is also a need for the war situation. The fifth war zone cannot fight on both sides, and the situation will become complicated and uncontrollable.

He wanted to discuss it with someone now, and the most suitable person was naturally Zhuge Bai Jiansheng. But he was in Wuhan and couldn't explain it clearly in one sentence or another on the phone. Maybe even this confidential line is not safe.

Of course, if you want to fight this war, you must inform Chiang Kai-shek, otherwise this will do your own thing, but before making a decision, he did not know about this like Chiang Kai-shek.

Leng Feng is indeed bold and has a big appetite. He has the aura of being a newborn calf not afraid of a tiger. He couldn't help but feel a little admiration for a complete division of the Japanese army.

Li Delin was unable to make a decision in his heart, and the Wuhan Command was also holding a secret military meeting on the battle situation on the southern line of the Jinpu Road.

Not many people attended such high-level meetings, mainly the Minister of Military Affairs, Deputy Chief of Staff, Chief of Staff of the General Staff, and Director of Education and Training.

The outside world naturally didn't know the content of the meeting, but the news revealed was very controversial.

Regarding the plan for the southern line of Jinpu Road, Chiang Kai-shek also tended to be steady. He Jingzhi, who was very familiar with Chiang Kai-shek, naturally had the same heart as Chiang Kai-shek, but Deputy Chief Chen Cixiu opposed that the southern line of Jinpu Road had the advantage and could fight a battle. If the battle was done well, the situation in the battle in Xuzhou would be much clearer.

Bai Jiansheng supported Chen Cixiu at the meeting, and it was obvious that fighting a war on the southern line of Jinpu Road would be beneficial to the Fifth War Zone.

The two sides argued endlessly, but one thing they could not avoid was the arrangement of the national rescuer. The national rescuer was in Pukou and faced the attack of the Japanese army. Whether to withdraw or attack, this was undoubtedly placed in front of these national government leaders.

If you retreat, you can't retreat at all at once. If the national rescuer can get rid of it, the hundreds of thousands of people will fall into the hands of the Japanese army, the consequences will be unimaginable.

If you fight, how can you fight?

He Jingzhi's strategy is to retreat while fighting. Although the Japanese army is strong, there are not many troops after all. The national rescue team can create a safe passage to protect the people from moving towards western Anhui and Henan, and the sooner the better.

But the problem is that so many people will inevitably be extremely difficult to act, and there are not enough transportation tools, and the express delivery is as slow as a snail. How can such a long team ensure safety before and after?

Chen Cixiu and Bai Jiansheng believed that only by hurting the Japanese army and making them dare not act rashly, they could be safe. Moreover, the current situation of the southern Jingpu Road is beneficial to China, and it would be a pity not to fight.

He Jingzhi asked back, "The southern line of Jinpu Road has lost blocks of cities one after another, and whether they are still able to fight a counterattack with the Japanese army. If they lose, the situation will cause unpredictable changes. Once the Japanese army quickly opens up the Jinpu Road, they will advance west along Longhai Road and head south to invade Wuhan.

The time for the Wuhan battle is not yet ripe. When the fight starts, there is more loss and less winning. Who will bear this responsibility?

Li Delin did not call Bai Jiansheng, but waited for Bai Jiansheng to call him a confidential phone number from Wuhan.
