The Nakajima devil had to let his soldiers get out of the car and advance while building the road, so it would be hellish if the march speed was fast! These little devils crawl like snails on the bombed-out road, and they only travel a few kilometers in a day.

This turtle speed in the devil is naturally very dissatisfied, he strictly ordered his subordinates to immediately speed up the march, but the further forward, the more the road was destroyed, and then even those sappers were unwilling to build the road, because the roadbed of the road was completely blown up, and some places have been flooded, becoming a flooded country, and it is necessary to cross it by boat?

Moreover, along the way, there were constantly small armed forces attacking Nakajima's engineer units and baggage logistics units, and these anti-Japanese armed forces specialized in fighting those sappers and baggage soldiers with weak combat effectiveness, and once the elite infantry of Nakajima's subordinates who rushed to arrive after hearing the news arrived, these anti-Japanese armed forces immediately fled without a trace, and the Nakajima devils received the losses of engineers and baggage from their subordinates every day, and they were so angry that they could not be relieved, and they repeatedly scolded their officers for their incompetence.

After scolding, he felt that it would definitely not work to go on like this, so he sent a report to Gu Shoufu on the grounds that the forward road had been damaged by the enemy, demanding that the combat deployment be changed immediately and that troops be transported by sea to pursue the 79th Army!

Nakajima Devil is asking Gu Shoufu this time, so the tone in the telegram is very modest, and he keeps calling Gu Shoufu the leader, first of all, he admitted that he did have a mistake before, suppressed Gu Shoufu, apologized, and hoped that Gu Shoufu could focus on the holy war goal of the Great Japanese Empire, and the adults did not remember the villains, and worked together to eliminate the main force of the fleeing China Army!

Gu Shoufu originally wanted to take the opportunity to suppress this Nakajima, in order to relieve the pain of being bullied by him before, but he thought about it, there will definitely be an opportunity to retaliate against Nakajima in the future.

Gu Shoufu agreed to Nakajima's request, and immediately sent planes and sappers to reinforce Nakajima with supplies, so that the devil's march speed was much faster, and Gu Shoufu got the news from the front eyeline, claiming that the 79th Army had barely stopped along the way since it withdrew from Pukou, and had been heading towards Xuzhou.

Gu Shoufu hurriedly asked his staff officers to open the map and carefully look for something on the map along the railway line of Jinpu Road. After half a sound, Gu Shoufu's face showed a wicked smile, smashed his fist on a point on the map, and said to the staff officers beside him: "Immediately inform Nakajima that he must intercept the main force of the 79th Army and other Zhina Army in Suxian, otherwise it will be regarded as a delay in the fighter plane, and the military law will severely punish him!" ”

Gu Shoufu could see from the map the intention of the 79th Army and the nearby Chinese army to rush to Xuzhou in such a hurry: At this moment, the main force of the imperial army in North China, the Isogu Division, had already attacked the area of Linyi, Shandong, and then dozens of kilometers ahead through the Yimeng Mountain was Xuzhou, Xuzhou held the Jinpu Road and the Longhai Line, the two railway arteries that traverse China's north, south, east and west, if Xuzhou was occupied, then it could enter the Central Plains, Henan and Hubei in the west, and provide a guarantee for winning the Battle of Wuhan, although the Battle of Wuhan had not yet been fought. But both China and Japan have begun to deploy troops at this moment, and he has just received an order from the base camp to take his troops to Wuhan, if he can successfully take Xuzhou in this battle, then there will be almost no big suspense in the battle of Wuhan, that is to say, Xuzhou is the key to the battle of Wuhan, and it must be controlled in the hands of the imperial army.

And at present, there has been a fighter that is conducive to the imperial army to encircle the Xuzhou direction of the Chinese army, that is, the elite infantry in the imperial army, known as the "steel army" of the Isogu division has been under the city of Linyi, its movement speed is quite fast, from Shandong all the way to attack, the siege of the city, all the destruction, the momentum is like a bamboo, according to this momentum, it is also very easy to take the key place on the canal in the north of Xuzhou, and let the Nakajima Division immediately go north, and the Isogu division north and south, before and after outflanking the main force of the Xuzhou Zhina Army, It will be able to completely encircle and destroy the main force of the Chinese army!

Gu Shoufu thought about this, and smiled triumphantly, his move to let the Nakajima devil go north has an ulterior purpose: that is, to take this opportunity to teach Nakajima a lesson, if he wins, it will be the result of his command as the commander of the dispatch army, and once Nakajima fails or suffers heavy losses, Gu Shoufu can delay the fighter plane and the disadvantage of the operation to make Nakajima look good, and then the handle will be in his hands Gu Shoufu, are you afraid that this Nakajima will not be obedient and soft?

The treacherous and cunning Gu Shoufu immediately sent an order to the Nakajima devil: "According to the latest information just intercepted: the main force of the China Army and the main force of the 79th Army and the Han Fei troops are fleeing in the direction of Xuzhou along the Jinpu Road railway line, and a large number of main forces of the Fourth War Zone of the China Army are gathered near Xuzhou, and they must not be allowed to meet, please Nakajima-kun must intercept the main force of the China Army in the area of Suxian, surround and annihilate them, if you need aviation fire support, call at any time!" ”

The Nakajima devil who received this telegram was not stupid, he understood that he had a few catties and a few taels, although he was a division, he was not afraid of the 79th Army on the opposite side and the main force of the other China Army, he understood that the main force of the South China Army on the opposite side was not vulnerable at all, except for Han Fei's troops, which were strong in combat and difficult to deal with, but he was ordered to march quickly this time to intercept the main force of the China Army, and there were no other friendly troops around him to cover the car, this was a rash advance, and the lone army went deep, Although he was able to get the fire support of the aviation aircraft, but without the support of the flanks, he rushed forward rashly, and the lone army went deep, and the Nakajima devil was crazy, but he still didn't have the courage to do this, since Gu Shoufu readily agreed to his request for reinforcements, he really didn't expect that this time it was Gu Shoufu who pushed him to the abyss of destruction, at this point, the scheming of the Nakajima devil and the city government are far inferior to the treacherous and cunning Gu Shoufu old devil, and it is inevitable to be deceived.

In order not to lose face with his colleagues in the army, Nakajima Devil took the main force on the road, he was very cautious along the way, the speed of the troops was very slow, it took two or three days to march fifty kilometers, and it was still a few hundred kilometers away from the destination of Suxian?

Gu Shoufu found out that Nakajima was rubbing, and was very angry, and sent a telegram urging Nakajima to move faster, otherwise he would be punished for delaying the military aircraft!
