Li Delin thought about this question for Chiang Kai-shek before answering: "The Tang Army Corps hides into the southeastern mountainous area of ​​Baodukou except for the 110th Division, waiting for the fighter plane."

"Is Brother Delin who put him in that place?" Lao Jiang asked.

Li Delin thought about it. He was the commander-in-chief of the war zone. The right to mobilize and use all the troops in the war zone was in his hands. Since he had made three rules with Tang Keqin and signed a military order, Tang Keqin must report his combat plan and trends at any time, and he must also assume his responsibilities.

So he nodded.

"It seems that you already have specific combat plans, talk about it quickly." Lao Jiang was very happy, although some plans had been formulated before, such as the first and second combat plans of Shandong Nan and the guidance plans for the first and second combat plans of April Fool's Day.

But in every battle, it is not a trick to copy it. It has to be treated in detail in specific situations. The enemy changes, so you have to change too.

Any commander with a brain knows this truth.

Li Delin smiled slightly. Regarding the actions of the Japanese army, Li Delin and Leng Feng and Yang Gengguang had done similar war chess performances before, so he pointed to the schematic diagram on the wall with confidence and said:

"Mr. Jiang, please look here: Lincheng, Hanzhuang, Zaozhuang, and Taierzhuang are in the northeast of Xuzhou, with a parallelogram of 60 miles apart. These four small cities are connected by roads, railways, and canals. The transportation is extremely convenient. In and around the quadrilateral, there are more than a dozen villages and towns such as Shagou, Yixian, Nigou, Beiluo, Lanling, and Guoliji. Among them, Nigou, Lanling and Guoliji are the most important. Now the Tang army gathers in Baodugu, which is a corner of the quadrilateral area. In the northeast, other troops, the New 38th Brigade is in the southeast corner, Taierzhuang, Zhang Zhen's 110th Division and Sun Zhen's 20th Army of Sichuan Army are in Hanzhuang. General Sun Fonlu's 2nd Army guards the canal defense line and serves as a reserve force. My fifth war zone has gathered more than 100,000 troops in the quadrilateral!"

Speaking of this, Li Delin paused for a moment and continued: "In the situation of the Japanese army, the Sakagaki Division was temporarily blocked by me in Linyi, but it may increase troops at any time. Judging from the information we obtained, this is completely possible. Therefore, the two generals Zhang and Pang were under great pressure. They planned to remove the 46th Army from Haizhou, Fan Songpu from Fan from Haizhou to go north to support at any time. As long as the northeast corner is blocked, the Isogai Division will fight alone. Although the Japanese army has strong firepower, especially the help of the air force, the troops they can use for Taierzhuang to fight will not exceed 20,000 people, and we have 100,000 people. When the enemy's attack is exhausted, we will concentrate all our troops. The Tang army will go directly to Taierzhuang from Baodugu. The 2nd and 22nd Group Army counterattack Lincheng and Yi County, cut off the Japanese retreat route, gather and annihilate it!"

When Lao Jiang heard this, his eyes couldn't help but lit up. Not only did he take the lead in applauding, but he also shouted "Okay" twice!

"It seems that Duke De has already set a trap for the enemy. Please fall into the trap!" Lin Wei praised without missing the opportunity.

Li Delin couldn't help but feel a little proud: "It's not that I invited you into the trap, it's that guy Isotani is greedy for merit and is so arrogant that he has to come in alone and insists on coming in. I really can't stop him."

Ha ha……

Everyone laughed together, obviously very optimistic about the current situation. According to Li Delin's deployment, the Japanese Seya Detachment only had one foot step into the Taierzhuang area, so he would not want to go back.

"The key to this battle is Taierzhuang. If we defend Taierzhuang, we can be invincible. Brigade Commander Luo and Delin hand over this arduous task to you. Do you have confidence?" Lao Jiang asked Luo Yufeng, who was the last seat.

Luo Yufeng quickly stood up: "Principal, please rest assured, the students will definitely live up to expectations, people are in the position!"

"Okay, sit down and talk, sit down and talk." Old Jiang was very satisfied with Luo Yufeng's attitude. The predecessor of the New 38th Brigade was the Central Army Training Corps. It belonged to his direct troops. He put such a capable force in Taierzhuang, which was the most difficult to defend, and would have to bear great sacrifices.

It is said that Jiang is a conspiracy and uses the Japanese to eliminate the miscellaneous cards in the Five War Zones, but he Jiang is not the one who can fight the most in the most dangerous position?

Could this be a conspiracy?

Of course, he wouldn't say this, but since the New 38th Brigade was arranged to defend Taierzhuang, some of the noise in the fifth zone has become much smaller.

The first honor division was transferred, and that page had already turned over. At least Chiang also left a elite army capable of fighting in the fifth war zone, and also transferred the Tang army that was resting in Henan to the fifth war zone.

In short, in the Fifth War Zone, the Central Army's direct troops are no longer small.

"Everyone knows that in the battle at Yuxikou, the troops of Brigade Luo killed the 45th Regiment of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army, and captured a squadron of the Japanese army. In the defense battle in Pukou, Jiang, they withstood the Japanese army's joint landing operations for three days and three nights, winning time for annihilation of the two corners of the wing. In the end, all the two corners of the wing were annihilated. In the defensive battle, although the new 38th Brigade was a junior, the achievements they achieved were obvious to all." Li Delin stood up and stood up for the new 38th Brigade.

Obviously, the New 38th Brigade performed very well in Taierzhuang, and it was also a plea for him. The people who opposed him guarding the New 38th Brigade were now silent.

The facts are right in front of you, and there is nothing else to say. Although it is just the beginning, such a good start is half the success.

"President, as long as Brigade Commander Luo can repeatedly compete with the Japanese army in Taierzhuang and consume the Japanese army's strength, the Tang army can attack." Liu Weizhang said.

Chiang Kai-shek seemed a little worried about this battle. After Xuzhou was fought, Wuhan would be stable. To be honest, although the government had decided to move the capital to Chongqing, it was really an air and nothing to do. If it could ensure that Wuhan was not lost, Chongqing, as the temporary capital, Wuhan could exist as a accompanying capital. It would be a last resort. After all, it was a territory of the Sichuan Army. If Liu Xiang had not said at that time that all the Sichuan Army had left Sichuan to fight against the war, he would not have dared to go there.

In his heart, he really wanted to stay in Wuhan. Wuhan was at least the first place of revolution. Although it was not the capital, it was of great significance and its strategic position was quite important.

"Delin, I heard that Xuzhou has had two air strikes a day today. You have to pay attention to safety. It's really not possible. You can also build such an underground command center. I have ready-made experience. I don't think it's difficult?"

Li Delin smiled and of course he thought about it. He had known that disguise could do so well, so he took action first, but now he was afraid it would be too late.

"It doesn't matter, Mr. Jiang, the bombing of the Japanese army only scares us and destroys our fighting spirit in the war of resistance. However, this cannot scare us. However, it would be even better if we could support some air forces. If we were passively bombed like this, the morale of the military and civilians' war of resistance would be unfavorable."

"Well, okay, part of the Air Force can be transferred to you for command. If you have any other needs, you can call me at any time. In the Battle of Xuzhou, you must teach the Japanese a severe lesson!" Chiang Kai-shek said solemnly, "I cannot bully the Chinese nation!"

"Thank you, Mr. Jiang."

"Delin, you and I are all for this country, no need to thank you." Jiang Jiang waved his hand.

This time, Lao Jiang was sincere. Li Delin could see that Lao Jiang was sometimes a little selfish, suspicious and not very concerned about his mind, but also knew the general and understood the right and wrong.

"Mr. Jiang, besides soldiers, I also want generals?"

"Will, who do you want?"

"Jiansheng has been in Xuzhou for many days and has helped me a lot. I think he can stay, assist me in commanding, and also help me with Brother Zhang." Li Delin said.

"Okay, I'll keep these two for you, but I agreed that after the Taierzhuang, you have to let them come back, and I need them too." Old Jiang agreed readily.

Li Delin said excitedly: "The gains and losses of Xuzhou are related to the national war situation. At the beginning of the year, I promised Mr. Jiang to stick to it for three months. Now I once again assured the Chairman that I will continue to stick to it for one to two months and win a victory in Xuzhou!"

"Okay!" Old Jiang was infected by Li Delin's words, stood up, pressed his hands on the table, looked around, and said loudly, "Now the center of the battlefield in the country has been transferred to Xuzhou. Xuzhou's gains and losses are related to the future of the War of Resistance. The longer Xuzhou defends, the more time we fight for, we can do more to defend Wuhan, and we can be invincible. If we can win one or two big victories in the Xuzhou area, we can even force Japan to sit down and negotiate with us. Of course, negotiation is not surrender. The purpose of negotiation is to exchange for time, rear construction, training of the army, and production of materials. The longer the time is delayed, the more beneficial it is for us. The previous myth of the invincible Japanese army was broken by us, and the crazy words of occupying China for three months have long been bankrupt. Therefore, we not only have to fight this battle, but also win the battle..."

Jiang Jiang’s passionate words were considered pre-war mobilization. Everyone could understand what he meant, fight the Battle of Xuzhou well and ensure the safety of Wuhan.

Chiang still couldn't bear to leave Wuhan in his heart. Of course, no Chinese wanted his country to be invaded.

It is understandable that Chiang Kai-shek has certain fantasies about defending Wuhan, and many people will not even think that Wuhan will be lost. This is how senior generals like Li Delin think.

It is too early to defend Wuhan, but the battle to defend Taierzhuang is about to break out.

Lao Jiang and his party had dinner at the New 38th Brigade. When he saw the food standards of the New 38th Brigade, he was very surprised and thought it was specially prepared for him. After asking, he found out that the food standards of the officers and soldiers of the brigade were the same during the war, which means that the officers and soldiers who ate the same food, except for the wounded, no one was treated with special treatment.

The one who envies the most is naturally the Second Army, but although Sun Lianzhong is envious, he is not jealous. The treatment of the new 38th Brigade is high, and it is someone who works hard for himself, not deliberately treats it differently.

Furthermore, during today's air strike, the New 38th Brigade dispatched a health team to treat and rescue dozens of minor and serious wounded personnel from the 31st Division and received proper treatment.

The medical assistance level of the 31st Division is much different from that of the New 38th Brigade.

Therefore, after dinner, Sun Lianzhong quietly found Qin Yankun and proposed the idea of ​​establishing a joint field hospital.

This idea is a bit advantageous. After all, the medical level of the New 38th Brigade is better than that of the field hospitals of the Second Army, and is smaller in scale, but the resources are far more than those of the other party.

Qin Yankun did not agree immediately, but did not refuse. After the meal, Luo Yufeng was called by Jiang to have a conversation. Everything had to be decided after Luo Yufeng discussed it.

Luo Yufeng talked with Lao Jiang for nearly half an hour, and only Lin Wei, who was accompanying him, knew about the content. However, even if Lin Wei knew about such a confidential matter, he would not say it.

Therefore, only Luo Yufeng and Lao Jiang knew what they said.

It was impossible for Lao Jiang to stay in Taierzhuang. After a brief inspection, the convoy returned to Xuzhou overnight. Luo Yufeng personally sent him across the canal bridge and then returned to the command center. It was already ten o'clock in the evening.
