The state has been a place of four wars since ancient times. From the battle between Liu and Xiang to today, after two thousand years of war, the local people have accumulated rich experience in adapting to the situation. / First / The first / The residents of Xuzhou, the residents of the extremely nearby areas began to flee abroad. Although the news of the victory of the Nanjing Defense War failed to stop their escape.

The endless crowds of fugitives made the market in Xuzhou a little desolate. Pedestrians on the streets were rushing, and the warm spring breeze was still cold on people.

However, the citizens of Xuzhou have become much more at ease recently. A large number of troops have appeared near Xuzhou, and even the nearby counties are full. The citizens privately estimate that the total number is hundreds of thousands. These troops have added a lot of topics to the citizens.

"...I see, God, a row of cannons can't see the end from afar. The Japanese are going to be in trouble this time."

"I heard that the second time I led the troops to Zhuang Jihua, who guarded the city in Nanjing, suffered a great loss in Nanjing.

”

"Is Nanjing one over?"

"You don't understand this. What is this called? Time, what the newspaper said."

"When you exchange space for shaving three, do you recognize the words? Do you know what is written on it?"

"You don't know this. There are newspapers on the streets and the students read newspapers on the streets every day. I can't read, they know." Tou San was busy with other people's heads while chatting with others, not afraid of shaving other people's heads.

"Come on." A young man rushed in from outside the door in a hurry.

The people in the headshew ran to the door and came over a dozen horses from the other side of the street. The horses were not fast and walked leisurely on the street.

"Who? You guys?"

"Look at the military uniform. Except Commander Li, whoever is the best at the top of the military."

The group of horses slowly approached. The neighbors were disappointed to find that it was difficult to tell who was the target they were looking for. These people were dressed almost the same. They could not see the military ranks from afar.

"Commander Zhuang, win the flag and create a great victory again!" Suddenly someone shouted loudly.

The sudden sound made several soldiers in the horse's group look here with caution, but an officer in the middle waved to them without any concern, and the crowd suddenly became lively.

"Teaching a lesson to the Japanese!"

"Commander Zhuang! He is fighting against the Japanese!"

"Commander Zhuang! Kill all the Japanese!"

"Brothers, come back to Xuzhou to present you with a celebration wine!"

An officer rode his horse out of the crowd, strangled his horse in front of everyone, and immediately bowed to everyone with his fists: "Thank you all for defending Xuzhou, the army alone is not enough, and everyone's efforts are needed. Let's teach Japan a lesson in Xuzhou, okay?"

"Okay! *** Little Japanese, as long as you dare to come, beat him!"

"Xuzhou is our home, and we have no choice but to defend our country!"

"Zhuang, as long as you say a word, you didn't say anything!"

…

"In the Cultural Revolution, I walked on this street for more than a month, but I haven't seen the people so excited and in such a high mood."

After Zhuang Jihua returned to the team, Li Zongren said to him with a smile. As soon as he arrived in Xuzhou, he found that the people in Xuzhou were panic and the market was depressed. A large number of citizens fled. In order to stabilize the hearts of the people, he rode horses and went shopping every day. After nearly a month of shopping, the number of people who fled abroad decreased. I don’t know if they were able to escape had escaped. It was really the effect of his patrol.

"As long as we win more battles, the people's emotions will be higher." Zhuang Jihua said lightly. He arrived in Xuzhou the day before yesterday. After Chiang Kai-shek left Bengbu, he did not set off to Xuzhou immediately, but continued to stay in Bengbu to organize the summary.

This is Zhuang Jihua's old habit. After every battle, we have to summarize it. From the soldiers' personal tactics to the squad and platoon company tactics, we have to summarize it at all levels. The Battle of Nanjing includes two aspects of defense and offense, and both aspects must be summarized.

The summary is not over yet. Ten thousand new recruits from Sichuan have also arrived, and these new recruits quickly replenished the troops. It is said that these ten thousand new recruits can be safely sent to the ground, and many people have the idea of ​​making these new recruits along the way. Fortunately, after arriving in Wuhan, they walked with the New 38th Division and the New 22nd Division. Secondly, these new recruits were willing to go to the local troops from Sichuan, so they arrived safely.

After replenishing the recruits, Zhuang Jihua arranged training for the recruits and asked the troops to train these recruits as soon as possible. He set off to Xuzhou after doing these.

"Yes, you are fighting against the Japanese in Nanjing. What do you think of the Japanese tactics?" Li Zong asked while looking around. The people around him were still in a very intense mood. He waved his hand casually and replied to the people's cheers.

Cheers that broke out from the shaving shed spread across the street, and vendors along the way were cheering to the group of soldiers, but the guards in charge were tense, touching the wolves on the waist with one hand, blocking the crowd outside the horse team.

Zhuang Jihua nodded frequently to the surroundings with a smile, and the crowd was even louder. He didn't hear Li Zongren's words clearly, and said to himself: "Nanjing and Songhu destroyed more than 100,000 Japanese troops. If we fight a few more such attrition wars, the Japanese local offensive will inevitably slow down, and the contradiction of insufficient troops will become more prominent, and we will be unable to launch a large-scale attack."

"We consumed equally much troops in Nanjing, Songhu. Back then, you suggested that Guangxi carry out reserves. We have been working for ten years and successfully built reserves. You also built reserves in Sichuan, but the central government did not, and the troops were consumed and supplemented.

"Li Zongren sighed and said, but when he saw the scene in front of him, he still

Zhuang Jihua heard it clearly this time, and he could only sigh. When he was in Bengbu, he also suggested to Chiang Kai-shek that he would establish a reserve service in other parts of the country as soon as possible. Although Chiang Kai-shek agreed, he handed this matter to the People's Training Department. God knows when Chen Gongbo will be built. In fact, in his heart, the best candidate is Deng Yanda, but this statement cannot be said to Chiang Kai-shek for the time being.

After leaving this street, it was finally quieter. Li Zongren mentioned the tactics of the Japanese army again. Zhuang Jihua said: "The tactics of the Japanese army are actually very simple. To give full play to their firepower advantages, the Japanese army's offensive tactics are more flexible. However, overall, the tactics of the Japanese army are relatively rigid. When attacking, the earthwork is either wavy formation or rear triangle formation. When defense, the earthwork is poor, and the trenches and bunkers are not strong enough. However, the Japanese army's individual tactics are very strong. The soldiers have been rigorously trained, with accurate marksmanship and strong hand-to-hand combat capabilities. One-on-one single-soldier fighting, and most of them win."

"The Japanese officers have strong tactical awareness, and even low-level officers can make tactical adjustments according to the development of the battle situation. The Japanese soldiers' fighting spirit is extremely tenacious, and they will not give up resistance even when facing a desperate situation. When Lishui counterattacked, we broke through the two wings, but the remaining soldiers on both wings were held tightly, and they failed to encircle and annihilate the Ueno in time."

Li Zongren had a relaxed smile on his face, but he was very happy in his heart. The training of the Chinese team was not comparable to that of the Japanese army. It was difficult to fight this battle on the Jinpu Road.

But then I thought about it, since this is the case, how could they defeat the Japanese army?

"Cultural Revolution, are there any tips for dealing with the Japanese army?" Li Zongren asked.

"In terms of tactics, to build a large-scale deep defense system, the pre-war earthwork work must be done sufficiently, at least five trenches must be built, and anti-aircraft artillery holes must be built in the position. In mountain defense, when the Japanese attack, the main force must be hidden in the backscene. In addition, it is necessary to pay attention to keeping a reserve team in your hands. When attacking, concentrate artillery fire first opens the breakthrough, take advantage of the victory to expand the breakthrough, and secondly, pay special attention to the role of submachine guns and light machine guns."

Zhuang Jihua talked happily, but Li Zong smiled bitterly in his heart. Your Forty-Nine Army is well equipped and can fight such a battle, but other troops cannot fight such a tactic at all.

Since your hundreds of thousands of troops have arrived in the Fifth War Zone, with these elite troops, you should be able to compete with the Japanese army.

When he returned to the headquarters, the Chief General Xu Zuyi was in the room anxiously. When he saw them coming back, he hurriedly came up to him.

"Commander Li, Deputy Commander Zhuang, Han Fu retreated from De County, and also gave up Ling County, Ningjin, and Leling, leaving only Huimin, and the main force retreated to the south bank of the Yellow River."

Li Zongren and Zhuang Jihua were both stunned at the same time. Why did Han Fu retreat so quickly? Li Zongren frowned and walked into the war room, asking as he walked: "Is there any change in the enemy situation? Have the Japanese increased their troops?"

Zhuang Jihua was puzzled. The Japanese would not have launched an attack so quickly. Could it be that the Japanese army in North China wanted to leave the Chinese and Japanese troops alone? But he immediately rejected this judgment. After the Battle of Nanjing, the Japanese army should not be so bold.

"There is no change. The 10th Division has just landed in Tianjin, and the 5th Division is still stranded in Shanghai. The Japanese troops in front of him have not changed." Xu Zuyi said.

Li Zongren stopped and turned to look at him. Xu Zuyi smiled bitterly and spread his hands. Zhuang Jihua said: "Deputy Commander Han fought very well some time ago, and Shandong military and civilians praised him."

"Cultural Revolution, you just came here, Deputy Commander Han...," Xu Zuyi sighed. He had contact with Zhuang Jihua during the First Great Wall War War. In private, he admired the young deputy commander's strategy. The Great Wall War War War can achieve such a result was all due to his strategization. But he didn't expect that he was the chief of staff in the fifth war zone, and he also went to the fifth war zone to be the deputy commander, and the two could work together again.

"What?" Zhuang Jihua's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Han Fu did not obey the order and had the act of preserving his strength? This was the first time he had encountered it.

Whether it was Songhu or Nanjing, the local troops and the Central Army that participated in the war had no intention of preserving their strength. Neither the 21st Army of the Guangxi clique, the 24th Army of the Sichuan Army, the 57th Army of the Army, and Liu Jianxu's Hunan Army, they all devoted their full efforts without reservation, and the leaders of powerful local factions also supported them fully.

If Han Fu disobeyed orders in order to preserve his strength, it would be difficult to fight the defense battle on Jinpu Road.

"Near De County, it was originally occupied by the 10th Division of the Japanese army. After the 10th Division was transferred, there was only one garrison left in De County, Ling County, Ningjin and other places, with only two brigades in total, and some puppet troops were very empty. The Japanese army placed the main force in De County, and the remaining counties were all puppet troops. Han Fu launched a counterattack, and these puppet troops gave up the county town and fled to De County, so they almost took back several counties without a single shot."

After listening to Xu Zuyi's introduction, Zhuang Jihua suddenly realized that the truth of the so-called victory in northern Shandong turned out to be like this. No wonder the 70,000 or 80,000 troops from the Third Army could not take over De County. I am afraid that Han Fu would not have seen the walls of De County at all.
Chapter completed!
