    Seeing Li Guoyao's frown, Chief of Staff Huang Baitao immediately said: "Sternly, we also know that it is really difficult for you to defend Bengbu with one division, but the Military Commission and the War Zone Commander's Department have nothing to do!"

    Then Huang Baitao walked to the military map, picked up a pointer, pointed to a point on the map and said: "Seriously, after the Japanese army crossed the Yellow River natural barrier and captured Jinan, they went south along the Jinpu Line to open up the connection between Central China and North China.  The communication line was the focus of the Japanese army's operations during this period. In order to expand the enemy's occupied area in Shandong and complete this task, the North China Front Army issued an order to its Second Army on February 4 to capture the line to the Lunan Grand Canal."

    "According to this order, Nishio Hisao, commander of the Japanese Second Army, ordered the 10th Division in Yanzhou to send a unit to attack Sun Tongxuan's 3rd Group Army in Jining, Wenshang and the areas on both sides of the Grand Canal; he ordered the 5th Division in Qingdao to send out  One group went south from Wei County and attacked the Linyi area to cope with the 10th Division's operations in the Grand Canal area in southern Shandong."

    "As the main force of the 3rd Group Army withdrew to the Caozhou area in southwest Shandong, only one part was left to confront the enemy on both sides of the canal in Jining, leaving the defenses in central and southern Shandong empty. Therefore, the enemy troops quickly occupied the positions on Jinpu Road.  Zouxian and the Laiwu, Mengyin and Sishui areas in the central Shandong mountainous area. For this reason, the 5th theater urgently mobilized the theater reserve team Deng Xihou's 22nd Army, which arrived from the Jiangsu, Shandong and Henan border areas to Tengxian and Lincheng in southern Shandong; Pang Bingxun  The 3rd Army Corps quickly moved from Haizhou to Linyi; the main force of Yu Xuezhong's 51st Army moved to Huangkou and Dangshan to the west of Xuzhou to prevent the enemy from advancing southward."

    Huang Baitao then continued: "While your Seventh Division and the 59th Army were entangled with the Japanese 13th Division in Bengbu, the 10th Division attacking the Jining area made a major breakthrough on the north bank of the Grand Canal.  Four and a half brigades of infantry and two brigades of field artillery commanded by the affiliated 8th Brigade, Nagase Takehei, defeated Sun Tongxuan's 3rd Army, crossed the Grand Canal and occupied Jiaxiang, and carried out raids around it. The main force was  Controlled in Jining area."

    "In addition, the 21st Regiment of the Japanese 5th Division set out from Weixian and took a bus through Anqiu, Jingzhi, Xiangzhou, Zhucheng, and Wanghu. After arriving at Zhaoxian Town in the northeast of Ju County, it quickly began to attack Ju County. The defenders  The first part of the 3rd Army withdrew after a day and a half of fierce fighting with the enemy. Ju County was occupied by the enemy's 21st Regiment at noon on February 23. On the same day, Itagaki's 5th Division continued to increase troops to the Linyi area and sent its 21st Brigade Commander  Major General Jun Sakamoto led one brigade each of the 11th Regiment, 21st Regiment, and 42nd Regiment, two brigades of the 5th Field Artillery Regiment, and one squadron of the Mountain Artillery to Juxian."

    "At this point, the Japanese army on the north bank of the Grand Canal basically cleared the Chinese army in northern Shandong, and then the main force went south to continue attacking the Chinese army on the south bank of the Grand Canal. While the Japanese army was attacking Teng County, the main force of its fifth division went south to attack Linyi.  Linyi is an important town in southern Shandong and an important military location. If the enemy occupies this place, it will threaten the eastern section of the Longhai Railway and Lianyungang to the south, and threaten Xuzhou to the west."

    "In order to protect this area, the 5th Theater Command has transferred Pang Bingxun's 3rd Army Corps stationed in Haizhou to Linyi on January 7, but the strength is still slightly weak. Therefore, after discussion with the Military Commission, it was decided to move the 3rd Army Corps near Bengbu to Linyi.  The 59th Army, together with the main force of the 31st Army, have all been transferred to the fifth theater, and the 59th Army will be transferred to the Linyi battlefield."

    After listening to Huang Baitao's introduction, Li Guoyao immediately understood that once the 59th Army and the 31st Army were transferred, there would be only one unit of the 7th Division from Quanjiao to Huainan and Bengbu. Therefore, the theater headquarters urgently called him.  Come back and discuss the deployment situation.

    Chief Gu looked at Li Guoyao, and then said: "Sternly, the current situation is like this. The 59th Army and the 31st Army must be transferred, and Bengbu cannot be lost in a short time. It all depends on your 7th Division."  !¡±

    Li Guoyao really felt like he was in trouble at this time. Bengbu City is located in the northern part of Anhui Province, bordering Suzhou City, Suixi County, Lingbi County, and Si County to the north, Huainan City and Fengyang County to the south, and Mingguang City to the east.  The city is adjacent to Sihong County, Jiangsu Province, to the west with Mengcheng County and Fengtai County, to the southwest with Huainan City, and to the northwest with Suixi and Mengcheng Counties.  The Jinpu Railway runs through the north and south from the central part of the border area, and the Huaihe River flows through the south of the border from west to east. The location advantage is obvious and the geographical location is extremely important.

    And if the Japanese army wants to open up the Jinpu Line, Xuzhou should be opened in the north, and Bengbu should be opened in the middle. It can be said that as long as the Japanese army does not give up this combat plan, attacking Bengbu is inevitable.

    Think about it, the Nationalist Government mobilized more than 600,000 troops to protect Xuzhou, and it is still constantly dispatching troops and generals. When they arrived in Bengbu, they only handed over one unit of the Temporary Seventh Division. What is this?  ?

    Seeing Li Guoyao's silence, Chief Gu said again: "I know this is really difficult for your Seventh Division, but now the Japanese army's intention to attack Hefei is very obvious. The enemy's Sixth Division and other troops have already arrived in Wanzhong.  ?The main force of the regional headquarters must be used to deal with the little Japanese on the southern front. I really can't mobilize it to defend Bengbu!  "

    Li Guoyao thought for a while and then said: "Sir, it's not that I, Li Guoyao, don't know the importance, but Bengbu is a must-win for the Japanese army. In order to repel the opponent's attack last time, we dispatched five divisions of troops, and we also received  With the assistance of the New Fourth Army guerrillas, we were able to severely damage the Japanese army in the end, but now we are being asked to hold one of our seven temporary divisions in Bengbu. We are really not sure!"

    Seeing what Chief Gu was about to say, Li Guoyao said again: "Sir, it's not that I, Li Guoyao, am afraid of death. To be honest, if my personal life and death can be exchanged for the safety of Bengbu, I, Li Guoyao, will not hesitate to give me a bullet on my head."  Guns, what I'm worried about is that once the main force of the Japanese army comes to attack, our entire Seventh Division will be wiped out and we won't be able to defend the city. By then"

    Commander Gu knew what Li Guoyao meant, thought for a while and said: "I also know that your Seventh Division suffered a lot of losses before and the replacement is not enough. Let's do this. I will replenish you with three new regiments from the theater commander's department. In addition, I will replenish you with three new regiments."  The weapons and equipment of these regiments have been completed for you, including heavy weapons."

    "Not enough!" Li Guoyao said simply.

    "There are six security groups in Guzhen, Huaiyuan, Wuhe, Guangming and other places around Bengbu. Although their combat effectiveness is not very good and their strength is not large, they can still produce five to six thousand elite soldiers when combined. I will combine these six  A security team is also under your command."

    As soon as he finished speaking, Huang Baitao said: "Surely, including the two supplementary regiments transferred to you before, the total strength of your seventh temporary division should reach 25,000. It shouldn't be too difficult to defend Bengbu, right?  ?¡±

    Li Guoyao rolled his eyes at him and said: "Brother Huanran, you have to understand that our Seventh Division has been fighting with the Japs for so long. The veterans have basically been killed and wounded. As for the newly recruited people, they are all dead and wounded."  I¡¯m afraid everyone knows how effective the new recruit Danzi is, and once the Japanese army attacks, it will definitely be shocking. I really don¡¯t know what to do!¡±

    At this time, Commander Zhang on the side suddenly said: "Brother solemnly, I know you are not the kind of person who doesn't care about the overall situation. Tell me, if you have any conditions, just tell Chief Gu clearly. I think Chief Gu will agree!"  "

    Gu Zhutong nodded and said: "As long as it is beneficial to the defense of Bengbu, I will make the decision and promise you!"

    Li Guoyao immediately said: "If we want to defend Bengbu, troops and weapons are the key. Although the theater commander's department has transferred a lot of supplementary troops to our department, it is definitely not enough, because even 20,000 people are only a level one compared to the Japanese army."  The divisions are quite equal, and they don¡¯t have any advantages in terms of soldier quality and firepower, so I need more troops.¡±

    "but"

    Li Guoyao knew what Gu Zhutong wanted to say, and immediately said: "I know that the theater headquarters does not have many available troops now, so I will make two requests. The first point is that the theater commander appoints me as the Bengbu garrison commander.  The local governments of Guzhen, Huaiyuan, Wuhe, Guangming, Fengyang, Dingyuan and other places must also cooperate with me!"

    Gu Zhutong thought for a moment and said, "Okay!"

    "The second condition is that I need ammunition. There are many new soldiers in the army, and the ammunition consumption must be beyond imagination. And we don't know how long this battle will last, so the theater commander must ensure our ammunition supply!" Li Guoyao said.

    "How many do you need?"

    "Twelve million rifle rounds, 20 million machine gun rounds, and 20,000 artillery shells!" Li Guoyao said in astonishing words.

    "That's not possible. The theater headquarters has so much ammunition in stock. Even if it does exist, what if it's all given to your other troops?" Chief Gu said.

    "That's like Wuhan applying for allocation! Besides, the total is only more than 30 million rounds of ammunition, which is not really a lot!" Li Guoyao said.

    "I really don't have 30 million rounds of ammunition. Let's cut it in half. If I can make up for it, I'll give you 6 million rounds of rifle bullets, 5 million rounds of machine gun bullets, and 10,000 rounds of various artillery shells. I can't say any more!" Commander Gu!  road.

    "Okay! The best question is, what should I do with Quanjiao?" Li Guoyao asked again.

    "Leave it to the 192nd Division to garrison, don't worry, they suffered such a big loss last time, they won't lose their memory!" Chief Gu said.

    "Okay! Our seventh division has temporarily taken over this task!"

    In fact, what Gu Zhutong and others don't know is that even if they don't give him anything, Li Guoyao will still accept this task. If he doesn't accept it, the system won't be able to spare him. The indescribable thing will also be reduced by one-third. This is  It¡¯s a life-threatening matter!

    Of course, only Li Guoyao knows about this, so he will not be lenient when it comes to extorting money!
