In the command center of the Fifth Battle Area in Xuzhou City, the commander of the Fifth Battle Area, Li Zongren, was pointing at a map and introducing the situation to the old generals who had come to inspect.
"Currently, the situation in the south is relatively stable. Our army is confronting the Japanese along the Huai River. After the last battle, the Japanese are temporarily unable to cross the Huai River.”
"The northern battlefield is a bit troublesome. Currently, the Japanese 10th division is attacking Teng County, and the Japanese 5th division is also attacking Linyi.”
"In the direction of Linyi, we have already dispatched Zhang Zizhong's 59th Division to assist Linyi. As long as Pang Bingxun's troops can hold on for a while, when the 59th Division arrives, we can temporarily resolve the crisis in Linyi.”
"The most troublesome is Teng County. Currently, the 41st division of the Sichuan army is guarding Teng County. The commander of the 122nd division, Wang Mingzhang, has already arrived at Teng County. He is the commander of the enemy and is in charge of commanding his troops to stop the Japanese.”
"However, the Sichuan army is weaker. I'm afraid they won't be able to hold off the Japanese for too long.”
When Old Jiang heard this, he could not help but frown and ask,"Can't we just deploy more troops to support Teng County?”
Li Zongren sighed deeply and said helplessly,"Right now, we are preparing to have a decisive battle with the Japanese in Taierzhuang. The main force is making arrangements around Taierzhuang. As long as the Teng County garrison can hold on for a few more days, we can build a defense line in Taierzhuang and fight to the death with the Japanese.”
"Therefore, we can't send any more troops to support Teng County.”
Old Jiang pondered for a moment and then said,""In that case, order the Teng County garrison to defend Teng County. We must delay the Japanese at all costs.”
"Please rest assured, we will do our best to ensure the victory of the battle of Taierzhuang," Li Zongren quickly said.”
Old Jiang sighed slightly and said," Ever since the Lugouqiao Incident, our army has suffered consecutive defeats. Our morale is low. What we need most now is a victory to boost the morale of the entire army and even the people of the country.”
"Therefore, this battle is of utmost importance. We must not fail again.”
"I understand!" Li Zongren nodded.”
"This is impossible!"
As the two of them were talking, a voice suddenly sounded from the side.
Old Jiang couldn't help but frown. He turned around and saw Dai Li talking to an officer.
"Rainong, what's the matter?" Old Jiang asked unhappily. Impossible?"
Dai Li hurriedly walked over when he heard this. He lowered his head and respectfully said,"I'm sorry, principal. I'm sorry for my student's behavior.”
"It's fine! Speak! What is it?" Old Jiang waved his hand and asked.
"It's like this," Dai Li hurriedly replied."Our intelligence personnel suddenly sent back a message.”
"In Mengyin County, there was a person named Liu Hao who led the security team to defeat the Japanese who invaded Mengyin County twice and wiped out more than a thousand Japanese.”
Li Zongren sneered." This is simply a fantasy. Mengyin County currently does not have our main force. It is impossible for us to eliminate thousands of Japanese with just some local armed forces. Someone must have lied about their military achievements."”
"I also feel that this matter is impossible, but our intelligence personnel's words are so convincing that we have no choice but to believe them."”
"The intelligence officer also reported that this unit also has tanks. In the battle at Mount Qingyun, they eliminated nearly a thousand Japanese. Their bodies were stripped naked and thrown into the ravine.”
"A tank? How was this possible? A group of local troops, where did the tanks come from?”Old Jiang said with a smile.
"I guess they are just some country bumpkins who don't know tanks at all and are talking nonsense!”
"The headmaster is wise," said Dai Li hurriedly. However, our intelligence personnel claimed that they had seen their tanks appear in Mengyin County. It would be understandable if ordinary people did not recognize tanks, but our intelligence personnel were all trained. It was impossible for them not to recognize tanks.”
"You mean this is true?" Old Jiang asked with a smile.”
"This student also thinks that this matter is unlikely, but there is indeed a trace of strangeness in this matter."”
" I hope it's true," Old Jiang said with a smile." We really need a victory now, even if it's just a small one."”
"Our people need to constantly hear about the news of victory at the front line, not the news of losing troops and land every day.”
"Since you feel that this matter is strange, then investigate it carefully. If it really is true, we might as well publicize it and set an example to boost the morale of the entire army.”
"Yes, sir! I'll do it now!" Dai Li hurriedly replied.
Even Liu Hao did not expect that he would attract the attention of the higher-ups of China so quickly.
