What Yang Jing, Ma Tong and Rae Erduo didn't know was that Yang Jing hit the word at the previous drinks and what he was worried about really happened.

Not long after they left the war zone chief's headquarters, Li Delin received a telegram from the old man from Wuhan.

The telegram ordered the Fifth War Zone to concentrate troops to prepare for a strategic decisive battle with the Japanese army in North China!

Strive to defeat it in one fell swoop!

In order to enhance the strength of the Fifth War Zone and to increase the confidence of Li Delin, Bai Jiansheng and others, the old man transferred the 74th Army, which had just completed the resumption of the staff, to Xuzhou to participate in the war.

The fifth zone chief’s office.

General Li Delin, who was already a little drunk, took the message sent by the old man and smiled bitterly at Bai Jiansheng beside him: "Brother Jiansheng, it seems that Yang Jing's concerns are not unreasonable!

He was really sadly told, and some people were blinded by the victory in front of them!"

Bai Jiansheng comforted: "Dong De, no matter what, we have at least another 74th Army. Such an elite reinforcement is available, and the current situation has not deteriorated.

Furthermore, even if it really deteriorates, we can deploy in advance and change the strategy! After all, we will be outside and the military orders are not accepted!

Moreover, don’t we have a heroic force like the Tiger Ben that has created miracles?”

Li Delin could only smile helplessly.

...

After Yang Jing, Ma Tong, and Shu Erduo returned to the regiment headquarters, Ma Haifeng, Wang Dali, and Bi Yuntao had already arranged the troops.

Keep the things in each battalion in an orderly manner!

After Yang Jing encouraged them, he took the lead in resting!

The same goes for Ma Tong, Rae Ears and others. We can finally have a good night's sleep tonight!

Almost all of them fall asleep!

It smells so good!

Yao Shujun, who was taking care of the wounded in the field hospital, learned that Yang Jing was drunk and was worried about his health, so she specially made a bowl of sobering soup.

However, when she brought the boiled sober soup to Yang Jing's room.

Yang Jing had already fallen asleep, and only faint snoring kept coming from his nostrils.

Looking at the man who was beloved, he looked tired and embarrassed, and he didn't even wash his face and feet, he fell asleep when he came back.

Yao Shujun felt a lot of pain in her heart again.

Although he was galloping on the battlefield and killing the Japanese devils, he was so majestic.

But several people know that this man is not a god and he will be tired.

But at this moment, the smile on this man's face, huh? Why do you look so... slutty!

"Damn it! I'm not honest when I fall asleep! I must have dreamed of some beautiful girl from a family!"

Yao Shujun stomped her feet hard, but seemed to be worried about waking the man up. When her feet were about to trample on the ground, she took back all her strength.

After a moment, Yao Shujun calmed down her anger, blew out the oil lamp on the table and tiptoed towards the door.

…………

By the way, Yang Jing and the brothers of the Hu Ben Group could sleep, and the soldiers of various departments in the Fifth War Zone could also have a good sleep.

However, the top Japanese leaders in North China, such as Teraunuchi and Naosaburo Okabe, who were far away in Peking, could not sleep at all.

In just one day, the 10th Division and the 14th Division all failed in Taierzhuang, and almost destroyed the entire army!

The division also suffered a defeat in Nianzhuang and retreated to Lianyungang. Finally, relying on the support of the Navy Combined Fleet, it was able to survive.

In addition, the 5th Division in Linyi direction suffered a considerable loss.

Up to now, in order to attack Xuzhou, the Japanese army in North China has lost at least 60,000 to 70,000 troops!

All of these are the elite imperial army of the empire, and they are the backbone of the Japanese army in North China, and their value is immeasurable!

It was even almost caught up with the predecessor of the Central and Chinese Japanese Army, and the total casualties of the Shanghai Expeditionary Army on the Songhu battlefield for several months.

The most important thing is that we have not been able to win Xuzhou yet!

Not only did Xuzhou not be taken down, but even Taierzhuang, the portal of Xuzhou, was not opened, and even Teng County was recaptured by the Chinese army.

This made the old Japanese devil, Touchi Tanaka, very depressed and annoyed, if he hadn't paid attention to his identity.

The old Japanese even wanted to cry hysterically, roar and roar to vent his inner aggrievance and anger!

Thinking back to the time when the Lugou Bridge Incident, the Japanese army in North China was so powerful that it could be described as invincible and unstoppable!

How majestic and arrogant it is!

It was destroyed along the way, and no Chinese army could block its troops!

When conquering Shanxi, Ichiro Itagaki Samaro swept through the hundreds of thousands of elite troops of Wei Junru and Yan Laoxi with just half of the division, and easily occupied Taiyuan City, the capital of Shanxi.

The army was defeated and the army lost its helmets and armor, and lost its territory for thousands of miles.

In the end, he had to escape to the Wutai Mountain area in northwest Shanxi and survived the mountainous areas in Zhongtiao Mountain area in south Shanxi.

In just a few months, the Japanese army occupied the entire North China, which was several times the area of ​​its own, and controlled more than 10 million people.

At that time, Soichi Tetsuchi was very good at fighting and was in the limelight!

However, who would have thought that the mighty North China Imperial Army, with the mighty victory, actually hit a nail in this small Taierzhuang, and broke its head and lost tens of thousands of elite imperial troops!

And all of this comes from only one person, an army!

Yang Jing, and his Tiger Ben Group!

"Yang Jing! Yang Jing! Yang Jing! It's this damn Yang Jing again! Damn! It's really hateful! I will tear him apart one day, and I will smear him to pieces before I can relieve my hatred!

Baga!"

After all, Soichi Tezuka is a scheming old fox, and his character is much stronger than that of ordinary people. He slams the water cup in front of him and smashes it.

He quickly calmed down and turned to his chief of staff, Naosaburo Okabe, said: "Okabe, the current situation in Xuzhou, the imperial army is in an unprecedented dilemma. Do you have a solution?"

Naosaburo Okabe frowned and thought for a long time before looking up and said, "Commander, please forgive me for being stupid. I can't think of a good solution for a while.

However, there is a candidate for Huye. He is good at strategy and should have a solution!"

Teruchi Suo, who grabbed a life-saving straw, subconsciously asked anxiously: "Who?"

"My deputy chief of staff, Major General Muto Sho!

He proposed the strategic plan for the Imperial Army's First Division landed from Haizhou Bay, attacked Lianyungang, occupied the Longhai Railway Line, and attacked Xuzhou!" Naosaburo Okabe paused and continued: "Although, this plan failed to work in the end.

But the problem is not the First Division, nor is it the Major General Muto Akira's plan made a mistake, but the two Istani Ryosuke and Kenji Doihara, who have two A-type divisions and tens of thousands of elite imperial troops, were unable to capture even a small Taierzhuang!

Not only did the entire army be destroyed, but the enemy was able to withdraw from Taierzhuang to return to the Nianzhuang!

It is no exaggeration to say that as long as Isotani Ryosuke and Doi Hoshi Kenji can hold the enemy in front of Taierzhuang, even if they cannot win!

So now, we can probably receive the good news from the Imperial Army's First Division to guide Xuzhou and occupy the headquarters of the Fifth China War Zone!"

It was okay for Okabe Naosaburo to not mention Isotani Ryosuke and Doihara Kenji. When they talked about the two, Teruchi Sui was suddenly full of anger again.

These two people are simply two useless food buckets and waste!

Okabe Naosaburo was worried that Teraunuchi could not help but explode, which affected Chiyu, so he continued: "Commander, Major General Muto Sho's surprise attack plan failed to work in the end!

But it also caused great passivity to the Chinese army, especially after the Imperial Army's First Division occupied Haizhou Bay.

It is equivalent to inserting a dagger on the back of China's Fifth War Zone, which can threaten and restrain them at any time!

Therefore, it can be seen from this that Major General Muto Sho is still very strategic and smart!”

Teruchichichi nodded with approval and said, "Yo Xi! It makes sense! Call Major General Muto Akira here immediately!"

"Hayi!" Naosaburo Okabe nodded slightly, immediately arranged an adjutant and summoned Muto Akira.

Akira Muto, 46, was born in a small landlord family in Baishui Village, Kamiicheng County, Kumamoto Prefecture, and has a good family background.

He graduated from the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School in June 1913 and was awarded the rank of Second Infantry Lieutenant in December.

Seven years later, he was selected to study at the Japanese Army University.

Be a graduate of the 32nd class of Army University!

In terms of qualifications, it may not be comparable to seniors such as Sakaichi Desouchi, Matsui Ishione, and Shinji Hata.

But this person is smart and scheming, and has served as the director of the second lesson of the Kwantung Army Intelligence Department, responsible for collecting intelligence!

It has experience that many people do not have in collecting intelligence, organizing assassination, and other unconventional combat operations.

Therefore, he has also trained his command style and personality to be unique, not according to common sense, and like to use dangerous moves.

The original proposal of the surprise attack on Lianyungang of the First Division is a good example.

After receiving the summons, Muto Akira sorted out his military uniform and looked like a sword, and walked up to the office of Commander Teraunuchi Sakachi with his head held high!

Muto Akira stood in front of the office door and stopped, shouting loudly inside: "Report!"

"Come in!" Naosaburo Okabe heard Muto Akira's voice and turned around to respond.

"Hayi!" Muto Aki walked in and suddenly stood up to salute Shouichi Deanuchi and Naosaburo Okabe and said, "Mr. Commander, Okabe, are you looking for a low position?"
