At this moment, the sunset is like blood, the northwest wind is "whirring" and blowing, the old transport plane carrying Liu Ruye and their more than 30 special forces are roaring towards Dongpan Village in the southeast of Lianyungang, today's meteorological conditions are very good, the northwest is not blowing very fiercely, the air flow in the air is not very much, the transport plane is flying quite smoothly, there is no bump when the last time they flew to Lianyungang, Liu Ruye and his subordinates feel good, full of confidence.

Twenty minutes later, the plane approached the sky over Dongpan Village, circled over a nearby wasteland, Liu Ruye and the others immediately got up, the landing equipment on their bodies had already been put on, just waiting for an order, they could immediately carry out the airborne!

Most of the people who participated in this airborne operation were veteran brothers who had participated in the airborne operation in Zhabei, and of course, there were also a small number of brothers who had never participated in the airborne operation, thinking that since he withdrew from Shanghai, Han Fei had no chance and time to train this airborne, especially after the defense of Nanjing, the situation was even worse, and it was quite good to be able to kill from the encirclement of devils and preserve the system.

Coincidentally, at the moment when the transport plane was circling around Dongpan Village in the sunset, the forward brigade of the Nakajima devils also happened to rush to the south of the Yi River, and was about to cross the river, when suddenly the devil scouts found that there were two transport planes circling not far from the north, and when they saw that the mark on the wings was the Chinese army, they ran back and reported to Suzuki, the captain of the devil's brigade: "Your Excellency, the north bank of the river suddenly found two transport planes of the China Army circling!" ”

Suzuki devil is Nakajima devil's right-hand man, the war is very fierce, there are also strategies, unlike the general devil Shaozhuang faction officers hot-headed, a tendon, he also has half of China, familiar with many Chinese art of war books, previously had a period of time in the Japanese consulate in Shanghai military attaché, said to be a military attaché, in fact, he is a spy, his subordinates have trained a large number of spies specializing in spying on the intelligence of the Chinese army, and have some understanding of the situation of the Chinese army, when the other devil officers all think that as long as the city of Nanjing is broken, The Chinese army will immediately lose confidence in resistance, and the war will end immediately, Suzuki is soberly aware that the Japanese army has fallen into a quagmire, although since the start of the war, the imperial army has won one after another, especially in the southern battlefield, starting from the Battle of Songhu, all the way to the capital of the national government, Nanjing, the capital of the national government, the Chinese army was defeated and fled, the northern battlefield was long, and the entire North China except for the northwest of Jin and Henan, etc., the rest have all fallen into the hands of the imperial army, If the main forces of the imperial army in the north and south directions can meet near Xuzhou, then the entire eastern part of China will fall into the hands of the imperial army, and it will be a matter of time before the whole of China is destroyed.

But Suzuki doesn't think so, he thinks that only the longer the front drags on, the more unfavorable it is to the imperial army, and the current front is already the limit for the imperial army troops currently in China, if it is stretched again, then the entire imperial army will not be able to continue to attack because of logistical supply problems, and every time a place is captured, there must be imperial troops stationed to deal with the local surging anti-Japanese forces, so that the number of field troops that can be used to maneuver and fight is even more scarce. And the Chinese army can rely on their numbers and the vast plateaus and mountains of western China to fight a protracted war with the imperial army, so that it is obvious who can consume whom, so he is opposed to the battle of Wuhan at this time, he believes that at this moment it is absolutely impossible to carry out a battle on the east and west, and the logistics supply of the imperial army cannot withstand such pressure.

But although he admired this idea, Nakajima Devil admired it, but he rejected it from Gu Shoufu, and Gu Shoufu also sarcastically mocked this Suzuki: "Cowardly as a mouse, cowering, can there be a chance?" ”

Suzuki was so angry that he never mentioned this idea again, this time the Nakajima devil was turned over by Gu Shoufu because of his repeated attacks on Uraguchi, and he lost the black gauze hat of the commander of the dispatch army, Suzuki was even more angry, and he was determined to do a good job, fight a big victory, fight for Nakajima, and bring down that Gu Shoufu.

The idea of abandoning the pursuit along the Jinpu Line Railway, entering the Yellow Sea in the east, going north along the coastline, and landing from Lianyungang was first thought up by Suzuki, who was familiar with the Chinese art of war and knew that to deal with Chinese soldiers like Han Fei, the conventional three-plate axe was no longer useful, and when acting on land, the Chinese army on the other side could know the whereabouts of their troops, so that the purpose of the surprise attack could not be achieved, and of course it could not complete the task of advancing north and south with the Isogu Division in the direction of Linyi and encircling the main force of the Xuzhou China Army. As long as you take the risk of attacking by sea and deceiving the Chinese army, you can win in danger and eliminate the hundreds of thousands of main forces of the army near Xuzhou, and as soon as the main force of the army near Xuzhou is finished, then the battle of Wuhan can be won without a fight, and what can the Chinese army without the main force rely on to confront the main division of the imperial army that is full of morale? It's nothing more than a mantis arm as a car!

When this plan to attack from the sea was agreed by the base camp, Suzuki Devil thought that this would be the time to change the fate of his life, if this time he could successfully land ashore from the vicinity of Lianyungang, the main force of the division quickly took Lianyungang and surrounded Xuzhou, then the goal of annihilating the main force of the Xuzhou Army could be achieved.

It is precisely for this purpose that Suzuki Devil took the initiative to ask Nakajima Devil to ask for help, asking to take the advance team to land and land at Yanwei Port in Xiangshui first, and let Nakajima lead the main force of the division to continue to set off towards Lianyungang, he suggested that Nakajima, after rushing to the vicinity of Lianyungang, first attack the Chinese army head-on with a small part of the force, and try to attract the Chinese army to rescue the port and frontal position, and after the main force of the Chinese army stationed in Lianyungang is attracted to the past, the main force of the division and regiment will land on the tidal flat near Lianyungang in two parts. The troops that landed in the north did not stay after they went ashore, and went straight to the direction of Linyi, and got in touch with the Isogu Division over there as soon as possible, as long as they could contact the Isogu Division and be able to join it, even if they could lose this part of the troops, they would not hesitate, and the main force of the southern route would immediately besiege the outer positions of Lianyungang, seize the airport and the railway station, cut off the railway of Longhaixian, trap the Chinese army in the city, and leave it to the Isogu Division to solve the remnants of the Chinese army in the city, so that the Nakajima Division could go west along the Longhai Railway, Take Xuzhou directly and surround the main forces of the Chinese army nearby!
