Chapter 867: Su County is also lost

"Five days, Chief Xue, my troops also suffered huge casualties in Xuzhou, only after a short period of rest and replenishment, the officers and soldiers were already exhausted, and they fought hard for five days in Guide, with more than 5,000 casualties, if they can't be transferred to rest in time, I'm afraid they won't have the strength to fight again!" Tang Keqin insisted. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

If you change a person, you may not have the courage to bargain with Xue Boling, but Tang Keqin relies on himself to be a descendant of the Central Army Huangpu and the old man's favorite general, so he has the confidence to negotiate conditions with Xue Boling.

Five days?

Xue Boling's face was cold, he was not sure if he could win Guide in five days, especially since the opponent was an old and cunning man like Kenji Dohihara.

However, now it is not only the Tang Army that needs to rest and replenish, but the entire GJ needs to fight another battle like the Battle of Xuzhou, I am afraid that the elite of the national army will be exhausted.

At this time, Tang Keqin was still playing with him to preserve his strength, which was really unusual.

The Japanese army can continue to airdrop supplies to Tufeiyuan, although he can't give full play to the combat advantages of the mechanized corps, but the firepower and quality of the Japanese army are stronger than the national army.

The Sichuan Army held on to Tengxian County for a week with its clumsy weapons, and its opponent was still the 10th Division, which was not much different from the Tufeiyuan Division, known as the "Steel Army".

In other words, if Kenji Dohihara wants to break through now, I'm afraid he won't be able to stop him.

A week, the grasp can be bigger, five days, the time is too short, there is no time to set aside for contingencies.

In fact, he had already given in, and his expectation in his heart was that the Tang Army would hold back the Japanese reinforcements for at least ten days, so as to give him enough time to regain the Tufeiyuan Division of Germany.

Coupled with the heavy artillery brigades and armored brigades of the New First Army, the grasp is even greater.

"Commander Tang, you should understand that now you and your troops are now under my command, fighting is not a business, you can bargain, if you can't do it, I will change someone else." Xue Boling's temper also came up, his face was black and terrifying, he had never seen such an arrogant general, he really thought that he had made some military achievements, so he got carried away, and he didn't know who his surname was?

Tang Keqin's face changed, and he couldn't help but feel a void in his heart, although he was the commander of the corps and the rank of general, but compared with Xue Boling's general, his qualifications were much shallower.

This army is a place of seniority, Xue Boling is the commander-in-chief of the former enemy appointed by Chairman Chiang, if he really confronts or disobeys military orders in person, then even President Chiang will not be able to save him.

The army also has the rules of the army, and if anyone breaks the rules, he will lose his prestige, and how can a commander without authority convince his subordinates?

"Okay, a week, just a week, a week later, our department can evacuate on its own!" Tang Keqin said.

"Good!"

Xue Boling thought about it carefully, if he couldn't win Guide within a week, it wouldn't make much sense to fight again, and once the loss was too great, it would not be cost-effective.

"It's a deal!"

"There is no joke in the army!"

Tang Keqin then left, and there was no need for him to attend the following meeting.

"Chief Xue, this Tang Keqin is really as arrogant as the legend, his little feats are not as good as a fraction of Leng Guoguang!" Chief of Staff Wu Xiqi said with a red face, he wanted to speak just now, but Xue Boling stretched out his hand to stop him.

In fact, Xue Boling was already on the verge of rage, his clenched fists were full of muscles, and he couldn't wait to reach out and directly slap Tang Keqin twice, but for the sake of the overall situation, he really endured it at this time.

If Tang Keqin really had to be hard topped, he would really be unable to help it, but fortunately, this guy still knows how to measure.

"Since ancient times, there has been no good end for the tyrannical and arrogant people, although he has made a military order, we still can't be completely assured." Xue Boling Road.

"Yes, he clearly wants to preserve his strength, and the chairman of the committee knows it, but he also acquiesces, hey, at this time, they are still calculating each other in private, which is really unusual."

"As long as he can hold back the Japanese reinforcements for a week, even if he wants to preserve his strength, I, Xue Boling, will admit it, and I will give him a lot of credit for it." Xue Boling said calmly.

"Hey!" Wu Xiqi sighed.

"The notice goes down, and the meeting continues."

"Good!"

The meeting continued, and Xue Boling first announced in public that Tang Keqin had taken the initiative to take over the important task of blocking the Japanese reinforcements and had made a military order.

Although everyone can see what trick Tang Keqin is playing, but people have made a military order, and if they can't play the task, they will be severely punished, and they will even lose their heads.

Military law is ruthless.

Don't look at Huang Jie's loss of Guide, his responsibility is not the greatest, but if he is seriously investigated, he will also be shot.

Gui Yongqing was the most embarrassed one, he supported Tang Keqin at the meeting, his troops were still deployed on the front line of Dangshan, the Japanese army had occupied Xuzhou, and his defense area would be in direct contact with the Japanese army in a day or two.

Yongcheng south of Dangshan has been occupied by the Japanese army, in fact, the 27th Army has already fought with the Japanese army, but before this, the Japanese army is not strong enough, the battle line is too long, and it is not capable of launching an attack on Dangshan.

Judging from the current situation, after the Japanese army occupies Xuzhou, it is likely to launch a new round of offensive, can the 27th Army block the Japanese army's advance?

Gui Yongqing beat the drum in his heart, although the 27th Army has two divisions and more than 20,000 people, but in the face of the heavy army group of the Japanese army, I am afraid it is really not enough.

Xue Boling began to adjust his deployment, preparing to deal the final blow to the remnants of the Tufeiyuan Division in Guide.

At the same time, Kenji Dohihara was also holding a meeting in Guide Castle, and the reinforcements came without concealing their whereabouts, obviously they couldn't hide, which was a precursor to the coming of the Great War.

He had already made contact with Junichiro Matsuura, the commander of the 106th Division, through the radio, and had been informed that the base camp's deployment for the Battle of Xuzhou had been adjusted.

Seishiro Sakagaki took over as Minister of Land, changed his original strategy, and entrusted the Central China Front with the task of occupying Xuzhou and attacking the elite of the Nationalist Army in the Fifth Theater in the Xuzhou area, while the North China Front was responsible for coordinating and attracting the attention of the Chinese Army.

His task was to draw the Chinese army to the vicinity of Guide, so as to give the Japanese army in Central China time to calmly mobilize its troops.

The mission was the same as that of the Seya detachment in the Taierzhuang area, but the 10th Division collapsed in Taierzhuang, and the Japanese underestimated the national army and overestimated themselves, knowing that at the moment when Seya Kai was surrounded, the planned troops were far from the predetermined location, and some were retracted.

The result was to watch the main force of one of his elite divisions being eaten.

The lesson was so painful that the base camp directly sentenced the commander of the North China side, Terauchi Shouichi, to be out.

And now, it's this scene again, Kenji Dohihara repeats the mistake of Kei Seya? Or will they succeed in holding back the more than 100,000 national troops besieging Guide, and then have a big war of annihilation?

For the national army, the battle of Guide must be fought, and such a Japanese army occupying such a military town as Guide is simply too threatening.

It is best to be able to annihilate it, but if it can't be done, it must also be absolutely suppressed by this Japanese army, so that it can shrink in Guide City and have no way to move.

After adjusting the deployment, Li Tie's 11th Division replaced Tang Keqin's position, moved to the east of Guide, and launched an attack on the Japanese army in Guide, and at the same time pulled out the 88th Division under Song Yinguo and Yu Liangzhen's 51st Division of the 74th Army from the rear, concentrated the forces of the two divisions, and launched an attack in the direction of Liuhe Station along both sides of the Longhai Railway Line.

Li Bohao's 155th Division and Huang Jie's 8th Army attacked from the south, crossed the Dasha River, routed the Japanese defensive positions, and narrowed the Japanese defenses in depth.

The 187th Division was responsible for defending Xiayi, the 35th Division was temporarily defending Tuocheng, and the 142nd Cavalry Division was on guard between Tuocheng and Bozhou.

The heavy artillery brigade and armored brigade of the New First Army were attached to the attack of the Western Route Army, and Xue Boling decided to personally direct the encirclement and annihilation of the Japanese army in Germany, and after the adjustment, all units had to arrive at the predetermined location within 12 hours.

Most of the troops were in offensive operations, and only a slight adjustment was needed, and some troops were on the way to the road, like a shackle, firmly locking the Japanese troops who had returned to Germany.

After the battle plan was submitted to the Wuhan Command, Lao Chiang personally approved the battle plan and issued strict warrants to all units to severely punish the generals who were ineffective in combat.

Especially this time, although Lao Jiang agreed with Tang Keqin to lead his troops to stop the enemy, he also beat him hard, and the military order he made in front of Xue Boling was not child's play.

When Tang Keqin received a telegram from Lao Chiang, he naturally did not dare to have any dissatisfaction, and immediately sent Wang Zhonglian to lead the 85th Army to cross the Longhai line and move in the direction of Bozhou.

He personally led the 52nd Army and others to complete the handover with Li Tie's 11th Division, and then went south, while leaving Zhang Zhen's 110th Division as a reserve.

This can be regarded as an explanation to Xue Boling.

The Ma Weilong Brigade that participated in the attack was seriously wounded by the brigade commander, and was taken over by Zhou Zhenxiang, deputy commander of the 46th Division, and the rest of the brigade acted as a reserve, acting together with the former enemy's general headquarters, and at the same time assuming the task of escorting the heavy artillery brigade.

The two families are of the same origin, and Zhou Zhenxiang and Xie Zaoshi are also familiar with each other, so there is no problem with each other.

Xue Boling's side lined up the troops, and he vowed to return to Germany and become the burial place of Tufei Yuan Kenji, but the battle situation has changed drastically.

At noon on the 12th, at the southern gate of Xuzhou, Su County was broken by the 3rd and 9th divisions of the Japanese army, Liao Lei retreated to Xiao County with his troops, and Zhang Xinchen and Pang Bingxuan each led their troops to break through in the direction of Wuyang.

Two divisions of Li Yannian's 2nd Army were ordered to reinforce Liao Lei, but they encountered the Japanese army in the area from Fuliji to Jiagou north of Suxian, and the slightly poorly equipped 2nd Army was defeated by the Japanese mechanized corps, and more than 10,000 people were scattered by more than 3,000 Japanese troops, suffering heavy casualties, and fled westward in a hurry.

When they fled to Xiao County to collect the remnants, there were less than 4,000 people, and the commander of the 3rd Division, General Li Yutang, was also seriously wounded.

After the Japanese army broke through Suxian, it was like beating chicken blood, fighting all the way and rushing violently, and it hit the outskirts of Xuzhou in half a day, and the speed was jaw-dropping.

Suxian is also lost!

When the news came, the Chinese people changed color.

The two major Japanese armies in Central China and North China achieved the strategic goal of meeting in Xuzhou, and for a time, the whole world was shocked. (To be continued.) )
