Grass field gate.
Hundreds of thousands of people from the Central China Army set up an encirclement here, from Caochang Gate to Hanzhong Gate, Zhongshan Road, Yijiang Gate. The huge arc encirclement completely blocked Qin Tian's escape route.
However, would Qin Tian really break through?
"Nani, the Chinese army has started a war on the Jinpu and Longhai lines?”
"Yes, General Shouyi from the temple sent a telegram personally. Li Zongren, the commander of the 5th Battle Area of the China Army, has mobilized 400,000 troops in an attempt to deploy our forces while we are being held back by Qin Tian to block our next strategic plan to open up the north and south battlefield.”
"So the North China Army can't support us?”
"Hey, what General Shouyi means is to wait for the Kwantung Army and the reinforcements sent from the country to arrive before launching an attack. Then, we will attack Xuzhou together from the north, and then attack Wuhan to completely destroy China!”
Wait?
Asakamiya Nihiko leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to think. He was terrified when he thought of the bloody battlefield on Xikang Street. He was really afraid of Qin Tian's counterattack.
The firepower of the weapons was a huge difference. The 38-man army could shoot one shot, while the Qin soldiers could shoot eight shots. Their firepower was quite fierce.
Ta, ta, ta ~
At this moment, Ushijima Sadao rushed in with a telegram in his hand. His expression was indescribably anxious.
"Your Highness, there's an urgent message from the headquarters!”
"Read!"
"Gu Zhu and his men from the 3rd Battle Area of the China Army are secretly mobilizing. They have gathered 24 divisions and nearly 350,000 people. They may counterattack the East China Sea when the battle on the northern front starts and we destroy Qin Tian.”
"The current command from the headquarters is to send reinforcements to the East Sea to defend. We will send 60,000 troops to cross the river and attack Li Zongren with General Shouyi Terauchi. The remaining 40,000 troops will surround Qin Tian.”
Hu ~
This was good news for Asahiko. He didn't want to stay in Jinling for even a minute. He could only wash away the shame Qin Tian had brought to the Central China Army with his military achievements.
If you still want to find a soft persimmon to pinch, then go to the northern battlefield to earn military merits!
"Commanded by Lieutenant General Yanagawa, the 6th division, 16th division, and Tiangu division will stay behind to surround Qin Tian. The rest of you, pack up and set off to cross the river!”
"Hey!"
……
Xikang Street Bank Headquarters.
"Stop, stop the operation!"
Qin Tian stopped the officer who was about to carry out the counterattack plan and tilted his head to look at Li Fu.""Are you sure the Wei Nation has split up?"
"It's absolutely true. I just received news that Chang Kaishen in Wuhan has given a secret order to Li Zongren of the Fifth Battle Area to provoke a war in advance to delay the North China Army. At the same time, Gu Zhutong of the Third Battle Area has secretly dispatched troops to prepare to counterattack the East China Sea.”
"The Wei Nation reinforcements that were already at sea had no choice but to send reinforcements to the East China Sea after they learned about it. They just ordered the Asakamiya Palace's Kuhiko to send troops across the river to support the temple's Shouichi.”
After Li Fu finished speaking in one breath, he added,"But the Japanese won't let you go. They should be reinforcing the encirclement now.”
F * ck!
What a pleasant surprise.
Qin Tian was about to go crazy with joy. He originally wanted to break out of the encirclement today and even planned how many people he had to sacrifice to defeat the Central China Front Army.
In the end, Chang Kaishen had helped him a lot. It seemed that the heavens would help the good.
"Stop breaking out of the encirclement. We will attack after the devils cross the river.”
"Commander, if the Japanese and General Li Zongren are fighting in Jiangbei, where will we go after we break through?" Li Tianyuan asked.”
“……”
This was indeed a problem.
Qin Tian looked at the map and fell into deep thought, conflicted about where to go next.
However, his eyes soon became firm as he pointed at a city on the map.
"Xuzhou, the Wei Nation will definitely open up the Jinpu railway to connect the battlefields in North China and Central China. Xuzhou, the military center since ancient times, will be the center of the battlefield.”
This…
Everyone in the meeting room looked at Qin Tian in surprise, their eyes filled with confusion and helplessness.
The upcoming battle around Xuzhou was probably the same as the Battle of Songhu, with a scale of millions.
There were more than 10,000 people in the Japanese Extermination Army, and they still had to deal with the troops left behind by the Japanese to surround them. How many people would be left after they broke out?
He had just escaped from the tiger's den and now he was going to the wolf's den?
"Don't look at me like that. Think about it with your pig heads. The Xuzhou Battle Army will need to mobilize at least 500,000 people to participate in the battle. At that time, there will definitely be a lot of scattered soldiers.”
Bang ~
Li Tianyuan slammed the table." Yes, I definitely want to. I'll go to Xuzhou!"”
Lin Yun, Duan Zhihua, Lu Jianxiong, Wang Jun, Cai Biao, and a few other regiment commanders also agreed happily, so enthusiastic that it was surprising.
It was not their fault either. Qin Tian promised that as long as he had enough soldiers, he could immediately become a division commander, so who would not be proactive?
"Alright, it's settled. We'll wait for the Japanese to split up and then attack.”
"Yes."
