    The Battle of Xuzhou ended in an anticlimactic manner, which made our Chairman Chiang very unhappy. Although judging from the current situation, it is a wise move for the main force of the Fifth Theater to withdraw from Xuzhou.

    Because once a decisive battle with the main force of the Japanese army takes place in Xuzhou, the probability of defeat is as high as 80%. Once the hundreds of thousands of troops in the fifth theater are really wiped out by the little devils, then the Nationalist Government will lose the capital to continue the fight with the Japanese army.

    ¡°Facts have also proved that it is precisely because the National Army¡¯s thousands-mile retreat has preserved the effective strength of the National Army and also trained these miscellaneous soldiers in the Fifth Theater, making them the absolute main force of the National Army against the Japanese army in the next few years.

    But despite this, Chairman Chiang still felt uncomfortable. He felt that he had been slapped in the face, and it was so slapped in the face in front of the whole country that he was swollen!

    Chairman Chiang, who had been holding back his anger, felt very unwilling. As the leader of a country, he could not swallow this breath.

    "Lao Jiang was a man who was determined to retaliate. From the moment he ordered Xuzhou to withdraw troops, he had been thinking about how to take revenge and how to regain the lost face.

    God cooperated, and soon a fighter plane appeared. This was a new fighter plane that might be able to surpass the glory of the Taierzhuang victory.

    In order to encircle the Chinese army on the Xuzhou front line, the Japanese army spent a lot of money and used almost all available mobile forces. Not only did they mobilize troops from North China and Central China, they even mobilized troops and generals from the southern Hebei front line.  A five-pronged army was assembled.

    Among the five Japanese armies encircling Xuzhou, one was the weakest but had the farthest reach. This was the Dofeiyuan 14th Division, which broke away from the main force and rushed south in an attempt to cut off the Longhai Road and prevent the Kuomintang troops in Zhengzhou and Kaifeng from advancing eastward for reinforcements.  group.

    In fact, the Japanese have never woken up from the tragic defeat at Taierzhuang. The senior advisers of the Tokyo Military Headquarters stared at the dozen or so points on the map from Dangshan Mountain to the west, where more than 100,000 Chinese troops were deployed, but they did not do anything about it.  I don¡¯t think there¡¯s anything wrong with inserting Doihara¡¯s 20,000-plus troops into the 100,000-plus Chinese army.

    Of course, this was not just out of their usual arrogance. They did not take the Chinese army seriously in the first place, but more importantly, the Japanese army really needed the Doihara Division if they wanted to eliminate the hundreds of thousands of Chinese troops on the Xuzhou front line.  adventure.

    At the same moment that the Fifth War Zone received the order to retreat, about 20,000 people from the Dofeiyuan Division forcibly crossed the Yellow River, captured Heze, and marched south to the Longhai Line. His purpose was to prevent the reinforcements from the First War Zone from reinforcing Xuzhou.

    The Doihara division was like a solitary son dropped by the Tokyo Go masters, breaking into China's strong momentum.  At this time, something unexpected happened.

    The 14th Division in Doihara is equipped with more than 300 armored vehicles and is a Class A division of the Japanese army.  The division commander, Kenji Doihara, was a Japanese army lieutenant general. He could speak fluent Chinese and was known as the top of the Japanese army's three great China experts.

    When Doihara went south, in order to show off his force, he deliberately lined up his chariots in a row across the wheat field, which was five or six miles wide from east to west.

    Since the Chinese troops on the Longhai Line had already evacuated, the 14th Division encountered no decent resistance along the way and advanced to the vicinity of the Longhai Line in just over a day.

    At exactly this time, Cheng Qian also received an order from Chairman Chiang to have the troops responding to Xuzhou retreat to the Ping-Han Railway line, so that Dofeiyuan's 20,000 troops and Cheng Qian's more than 100,000 troops met near the Longhai Line.  .

    The arrival of the 14th Division made Chairman Chiang in Wuhan very excited. Xuzhou's retreat without a fight made Chiang Kai-shek very embarrassed. This time he could eat the entire Dofeihara division. He thought it was a good opportunity to save face.

    Chairman Chiang then hurriedly flew to Zhengzhou and went to the headquarters of Cheng Qian¡¯s First Theater Commander on Qianjie Street. He wanted to personally command the launch of the "Lanfeng Battle".

    At this time in eastern Henan, the National Army had a total of 6 corps with 120,000 people, and had completed the siege of the 14th Division. The 120,000 people were attacking Dofeiyuan and the 1st Division with 20,000 people. Regardless of whether it was Cheng, the commander-in-chief of the First Theater Command.  Both Qian and Chairman Chiang believed that "even if you eat, you can eat up the soil."

    The appearance of fighter planes in eastern Henan made all the senior officers of the national army on the front line very excited, especially Xue Yue, the former enemy commander in chief of the 1st theater. When they learned that Dofeihara and the main force of his 14th Division were rushing into his first  After being embraced by the army, General Xue opened his mouth in surprise, as excited as a deer in his heart.

    The Japanese brought Doihara this piece of fat. This was definitely a good opportunity to avenge his past humiliation. It all depends on whether he has the guts to bite it hard.

    Zhengzhou. 1st War Zone Commander's Department.

    Yesterday afternoon, Chairman Chiang and Commander Bai and others visited the first combat zone in person, and they were in a hurry!

    Cheng Qian did not dare to neglect and hurriedly summoned his subordinates to convene the 1st Theater Military Conference.??

    After receiving the order from the commander of the First Theater Command, more than 20 officers belonging to the division and above in the First Theater put aside what they were doing and rushed to Zhengzhou for a meeting.

    Today, the Chief's Department of the First War Zone is full of generals. On both sides of the table in the war room of the Chief's Department are all lieutenant generals of the national army. There is also an army general carrying a three-star epaulette.

    The high standard of this meeting was beyond everyone¡¯s imagination, especially when they saw that the person sitting in the main seat was not the commander of the theater, Cheng Qian, but Chairman Chiang. Everyone was shocked.

    But soon everyone could no longer care about the surprise. After the chief of staff of the First Theater Department explained the situation in eastern Henan, everyone became excited. This is a powerful Japanese A-type division. If this division is really destroyed,  If the group eats it, it will definitely shock the Japanese.

    What a rare opportunity!

    And when the Chief of Staff of the First Theater District reported the enemy's situation, our Chairman Chiang Kai-shek never took his eyes off the big red arrow pointing directly to Longhai Road on the wall map.

    The red arrow points to the 14th Division of the Japanese Army, and the surrounding blue arrows represent the National Army. For example, in Shangqiu, the gateway to eastern Henan, the blue arrow there represents Huang Jie's Eighth Army, and Yu Jishi's  74th Army, Li Hanhun's 64th Army, Song Xilian's 71st Army, Gui Yongqing's 27th Army, etc.

    The thick red arrow representing the Japanese army was so dazzling against the blue defense lines of the Chinese army on the front, back, left and right, so arrogant and unruly, as if Doihara, who was full of flesh and blood, was proudly waving to him with his huge head raised to challenge him.

    Regarding whether to fight this battle or not, Chairman Chiang has already made a decision in his heart. Even though the fifth theater is now at a critical moment for the entire army to break out, Chairman Chiang still decides to wrestle with Doihara and not  This arrogant guy was destroyed, and Chairman Chiang felt that he might regret it for the rest of his life.

    After Guo Jiqiao, Chief of Staff of the First War Zone, finished his report, Chairman Chiang suddenly asked: "What's going on in Dofeihara today?"

    Guo Jiqiao did not dare to neglect and said hurriedly: "Reporting to the committee, according to the report of Shen Fazao, commander of the 87th Division on the front line, the right column of Fangming Fangtaro, who attacked Kaocheng a few days ago, gave up crossing Kaocheng after being blocked by the 87th Division.  The plan to attack Lanfeng is to move towards Yifeng in an attempt to join forces with the main force of the Doihara Division. It seems that the enemy is aware of our attack attempt, so it shrinks the front and moves closer to the main force."

    After hearing this, Chairman Chiang frowned slightly and asked, "Do you know the exact situation of the enemy troops on this road?"

    "It has been identified that this road belongs to the 27th Infantry Brigade led by Major General Fusotaro Toyoaki, and is accompanied by the 28th Cavalry Regiment of the 14th Division and the Artillery Division, with about 8,000 people."

    Chairman Jiang nodded to indicate that he already understood, then stood up and walked around the combat headquarters, completely lost in thought.

    At this time, the eyes of more than 20 generals in the headquarters were focused on him. At the same time, everyone was also considering what kind of order the Chairman would eventually issue. Is it to order all troops to annihilate the Doihara Division in a reasonable manner?  Or follow the original plan to support the breakout of troops from the fifth theater?  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
