Itagaki Seishiro didn't want to see the 9th Brigade become the next 33rd Brigade, so he hurriedly sent reinforcements to relieve the siege of the 9th Brigade.

In order to rescue the elite 9th Brigade, the 10th Division also sent a wing to reinforce it.

The devil's reinforcements were divided into two routes, and the north and south marched into the Taierzhuang area, and the momentum was coming.

The little devil wants to rescue, and the national army troops in the 5th theater will naturally not let the little devil succeed.

The counterattack in Taierzhuang was very important, and Li Zongyao, the commander of the theater, was determined to fight this battle well, and he had already gone from Xuzhou to the front line of Taierzhuang overnight to supervise and command......

20 kilometers south of Taierzhuang, the temporary headquarters of the front line of the 5th theater.

Not long after the battle of the security regiment ended, as soon as dawn Li Zongyao invited Li Hong to the headquarters for a meeting.

Li Hong's current status is a tactical adviser, and as long as Li Hong is free, he has to attend all the large-scale military meetings in the theater.

The smoke on Li Hong's body had not yet dissipated, he just changed his clothes and hurried to the front headquarters.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the headquarters, Li Zongyao's adjutant led Li Hong into the headquarters.

"Advisor Li, please come in, Commander Li, they will be waiting for you."

Li Hong nodded, strode into the headquarters, and walked towards Li Zongyao.

Dozens of officers and generals of the national army gathered in the headquarters, and Li Zongyao and several generals were gathered around the sand table, and they were talking to each other in low voices.

"Hello Commander Li, hello sir!"

Li Hong strode over and saluted Li Zongyao and several other generals.

"Hello Consultant Li, good Consultant Li !!"

The officer and general next to him returned the salute with great respect.

Li Zongyao learned not long ago that the security regiment had annihilated the 33rd Brigade, and Li Zongyao was very excited to learn this news.

Of course, he invited Li Hong to the headquarters not to praise Li Hong's military exploits, but to discuss important matters.

Now is not the time to commend, the top priority is to encircle and annihilate the 9th Brigade of the Japanese Army and block the other two ways to reinforce the Japanese army.

"Li Hong, come here, let's study how to encircle and annihilate the enemy......"

Li Zongyao didn't say much, and directly invited Li Hong to the edge of the sand table map.

The officers and generals of the headquarters gathered around the sand table, and in response to the current counterattack in Taierzhuang, everyone insisted on their own words and expressed different suggestions and opinions.

Li Hongcai came from the battlefield, and he was not very clear about the current battle situation of the 9th Brigade of the Japanese Army surrounded and annihilated by the Nationalist Army, so he stood silently and listened to the speeches of others.

After listening carefully for a while, Li Hong finally understood the current war.

Tens of thousands of troops of the National Army had already besieged the Japanese 9th Brigade, but reinforcements from the Japanese divisions Itagaki and Isoya were also on their way.

Judging from the current battle situation, as long as the enemy's two-way reinforcements can be blocked, the final fate of the 9th Brigade of the Japanese Army will become the next 33rd Brigade to be completely annihilated.

In terms of the overall strength of the two sides, the Nationalist army is several times larger than the Japanese army, and it will not be too difficult to block the Japanese reinforcements.

It's just that it's dawn now, and the Japanese army can send a large number of bombers to support, and no matter how many troops the national army has to block, there is no big advantage.

The Japanese artillery is strong, there are armored troops, and there is air firepower, and the national army wants to block the reinforcements of the devil's two armies, I am afraid it will not be so easy.

The most anxious thing is that the large army of the 5th and 10th divisions of the Japanese army seems to be pressing up, which makes everyone in the command very worried.

The officers discussed for a while, and the others put forward many kinds of battle plans and plans, but Li Zongyao, the commander of the theater, did not seem to be too satisfied.

Li Zongyao saw that Li Hong was pondering something, and he asked softly: "Li Hong, you are a war zone advisor, what suggestions or strategies can you say." ”

Immediately, the officers and generals of the command headquarters looked at Li Hong's side.

Li Hong's ability as a theater adviser is not just a matter of talking on paper, his military talent and the combat effectiveness of the security regiment are obvious to all, and the officers are eager to hear the views of Li Hong, a rising star.

Li Hong didn't shirk anything, he took a few steps closer, quickly glanced at the sand table map in front of him, and analyzed the current battle situation endlessly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, at present, the 9th Brigade of the Japanese Army has been besieged by our army, and the 9th Brigade can be said to be unable to escape, but the Japanese army is coming from the north and south to reinforce it, which is bound to pose a threat to our besieging troops, and the worst result of this battle is that the Japanese reinforcements break through the defense line of the blocking troops and smash our army's encirclement and annihilation plan."

"Although the Japanese army has a large number of bombers to support it, and the number of artillery fire is more than ours, it is not impossible to stop and drag the Japanese reinforcements......

Next, Li Hong said his combat deployment one by one, and all the officers and generals listened very carefully.

Li Hong suggested that two divisions of the Central Army should be used to block the reinforcements of the Japanese 5th Division on the north road, and a division of the Northwest Army and a brigade of the Northeast Army would be responsible for blocking the Japanese 10th Division on the south road.

In addition, Li Hong also suggested that bombers should be stationed in the theater to support the battlefield and inflict air strikes on the Japanese army.

After listening to this, Li Zongyao nodded, and adopted Li Hong's suggestions one by one.

After Li Hong finished talking about his battle plan, he soon realized that the deployment was not perfect, and he seemed to have forgotten about another unit of the Japanese army.

Just when the commanders of the theater were about to adopt Li Hong's battle plan, Li Hong took the initiative to stand up and overturn his troop deployment just now.

"I'm really sorry, sir, there are still some omissions and inappropriateness in the battle plan I just proposed."

The officers and generals of the command headquarters looked at Li Hong suspiciously, and in their opinion, Li Hong's battle plan just now was very perfect, and there was nothing wrong with it.

Li Hong thought carefully for a few minutes, and said cautiously: "Commanders, we have all overlooked one thing, except for the 5th Division and the 10th Division, I am sure that the 4th Division of the Japanese Army will definitely reinforce the 9th Brigade. ”

"As we all know, the 9th Brigade of the Itagaki Division is also the elite of the elite, and it is also a benchmark banner in the Japanese army, so the North China Command of the Japanese Army will definitely put pressure on the 4th Division and do everything possible to rescue the 9th Brigade and keep the number of this unit."

After hearing this, the officers of the command headquarters were suddenly amazed.

"Advisor Li is really thoughtful, this Japanese 4th Division really has to guard against ......"

If it hadn't been for Li Hong's proposal, the generals would have really ignored the crucial issue of possible reinforcements of the Japanese 4th Division.

If the operational deployment is carried out according to the battle plan just now, if the 4th Division is allowed to stir up the-stirring stick into the battle, the national army may lose everything.
