"The war in the south is not going well..." Yu Xuezhong stopped talking.

"You want to go south to join the war again?" Zhang Yong heard the song and smiled, "As long as the headquarters agrees, I have no objection."

"Sigh." Yu Xuezhong brought a small bench by himself and sat next to Zhang Yong.

He really wanted to go south to join the war and participate in the siege.

At least we can get some fighting done.

It’s not like sitting on the sidelines in Jining now. It feels boring.

The Japanese invaders in the north were all defeated by Zhang Yong alone. They did not dare to continue the attack. The situation was calm.

It is estimated that reinforcements from the Japanese invaders will not arrive within a week, or even ten days. Therefore, there is no danger in the short term on the Yanzhou front line.

If the offensive from the south is effective, one week will be enough to wipe out two Japanese divisions.

In other words, there are not many shops after passing through this village.

If you don’t go now, I’m afraid you won’t have the chance in the future.

The day passed quietly.

Still quiet at night.

the next day.

Yu Xuezhong is here again.

Also arriving at the same time was Modhong.

Zhang Yong smiled and said, "Commander Mo, do you also want to go south?"

"Yes." Mo Dehong answered straightforwardly.

"You have to pass through the defense area of ​​the 22nd Army. Commander-in-Chief Sun will not agree."

"I know."

Mo Dehong sighed helplessly.

Now, the two divisions of the Japanese invaders have become the meat and potatoes of the national army.

All troops and all factions want to participate. Everyone knows that this is an unprecedented achievement.

To the south of Yanzhou is the 22nd Army commanded by Sun Zhen.

They were responsible for attacking from north to south and compressing the living space of the two divisions of the Japanese invaders.

Among the formation of the 22nd Army was the 41st Army commanded by Wang Mingzhang. Its subordinate 122nd Division was the main force leading the attack.

Whether Yu Xuezhong or Mo Dehong wanted to go south to join the war, Sun Zhen had to give way to part of the battlefield.

Of course Sun Zhen is not happy. This is obviously to snatch the fruits of victory!

Zhang Yong would not come forward for such a thing.

He never steals the fruits of victory from others. He can create it himself.

silence.

a long time.

Mo Dehong suddenly looked around, and then whispered: "Commissioner, have you heard anything?"

"No." Zhang Yong shook his head, "Just say what you want."

"It is said that the Japanese sued for peace."

"Seek peace?"

Zhang Yong was indifferent.

Yu Xuezhong was also expressionless.

They won't believe it.

War is not like children playing house.

Are you the one who says you can fight if you want to, and the one who doesn’t want to fight if you don’t want to? Just kidding...

Sure enough, Mo Dehong continued: "The commissioner refused."

Zhang Yong and Yu Xuezhong still didn't respond.

Didn't pay attention to it at all.

The third day...

The fourth day...

The fifth day...

Things are gradually going wrong.

The map of the Air Force shows that the Japanese invaders are still stubbornly resisting.

Judging from the statistics of the results released by the headquarters, the national army had already wiped out more than 80,000 Japanese invaders.

However, the Japanese Fifth and Tenth Divisions are still fighting north of Taierzhuang. The participating national troops have not yet been able to completely annihilate them.

Zhang Yong didn't know the specific situation. Anyway, the national army's attack was not very effective?

Maybe so. The battle has not been resolved for a long time.

The danger comes from the direction of Bengbu.

The air map showed that a large number of Japanese invaders were attacking northwest.

They did not attack Xuzhou head-on. Instead, they detoured through Shouchun, Yingshang, and Fuyang, and attacked in the direction of Taihe and Zhoukou.

He frowned secretly.

This move by the Japanese invaders was a roundabout move and a bit vicious!

You know, the main force of the national army is currently concentrated near Xuzhou. The troops in Zhoukou are empty.

"Report!"

A staff officer hurried over.

Hand Zhang Yong an urgent telegram.

After Zhang Yong finished reading, he hurried to the Third Army Headquarters.

The atmosphere here has become tense.

"A large Japanese aggressor force was discovered in Fuyang." Yu Xuezhong looked serious. "They got entangled with the 48th Army. The battle between the two sides was very fierce."

"The target of the Japanese invaders may be Kaifeng." Zhang Yong had a very bad premonition.

In the past few days, the situation has obviously changed dramatically. The Japanese invaders have begun to adopt a more radical attack plan.

Perhaps it was because Chiang Kai-shek rejected the Japanese invaders' request for peace and was determined to eat up the two Japanese invaders' divisions. Therefore, the Japanese invaders became angry and directly attacked Kaifeng. They tried to cut off the Longhai Railway from the west and at the same time cut off all the Japanese invaders near Xuzhou.

The national army surrounded him.

I have to say that the Japanese invaders' plan was really arrogant.

He actually wanted to surround hundreds of thousands of national troops.

The telegram Zhang Yong received was about the 48th Army.

The 48th Army reported that it encountered a large Japanese aggressor force in Fuyang and started a fierce battle.

Soon, the 48th Army was convinced that what it encountered was the main force of the Japanese Third Division. It was covered by numerous 75mm mountain artillery.

The air command map shows that the Japanese 105mm howitzer has also arrived in Shouchun.

"Report!"

Another staff member sent a telegram.

After Zhang Yong read it, his expression became even more grim.

Japanese invaders were discovered near Bozhou. They were lightly armed troops.

There is no love war.

Bypass quickly.

Continue north.

"Not good!" Yu Xuezhong blurted out after reading, "Shangqiu is in danger! Longhai Railway is in danger!"

He is also a veteran of the battlefield and is very familiar with the Central Plains region.

Bozhou is not far from Shangqiu.

Since the Japanese invaders could attack Bozhou by surprise, they could certainly attack Shangqiu by surprise.

In fact, Yu Xuezhong strongly suspected that the Japanese invaders' sneak attack troops should be aimed at the Longhai Railway.

As long as the Longhai Railway is blown up, the national army in the Xuzhou area will be passive.
To be continued...
