……

Generals Li Delin and Bai Jiansheng did not receive this shocking news until two o'clock in the morning, after the fall of Lianyungang.

Both of them were awakened from their sleep by the left-behind staff officers.

Arrive at the command post and understand the situation clearly.

General Li Delin couldn't help but change his face: "Lianyungang fell, and Xuzhou was attacked by the enemy. It is bound to be in danger. What should we do?"

General Zhuge Bai Jiansheng did not express his opinion immediately, but was frowning in thought with a dignified face, obviously also thinking about countermeasures.

This shocking event, if not handled carefully, will directly lead to a disastrous defeat in the Battle of Xuzhou.

Furthermore, the entire North China and East China regions will fall under the iron heel of the Japanese army.

It will even cause the situation of the Anti-Japanese War in the whole of China to take a turn for the worse, so that it will be out of control and fall into a dangerous situation that will never be restored.

"Jiansheng, tell me what you think?"

Seeing all the staff officers bowing their heads in silence, General Li Delin finally fixed his eyes on General Bai Jiansheng's face.

With a hopeful look on his face, it seemed that he hoped to get a satisfactory answer from his mouth.

After pondering for a while, General Bai Jiansheng slowly raised his head to look at General Li Delin and said, "Mr. De, I have two paths for you to choose from."

……

Chapter 6 Thirty Two Choices!

"Jiansheng, tell me quickly." General Li Delin, as the supreme military commander of the fifth war zone, must be under the greatest pressure on his shoulders. He was already a little confused at the moment, so he hurriedly waved his hands to urge him.

"First, abandon Xuzhou immediately! Order Tang Keqin's army to cancel the roundabout ambush plan! Move to the south bank of the canal.

At the same time, Yang Chen was ordered to continue to stick to Taierzhuang, and Zhang Zizhong, Pang Geng and Chen's troops alternately covered and retreated.

Before the Japanese army attacked Xuzhou, the main force in the theater was transferred out in advance.

In this way, although we are defeated, we will not lose too many troops. "

After hearing this, General Li Delin frowned, and said unwillingly: "Our fifth war zone has assembled hundreds of thousands of troops to defend East China, but we have not achieved an inch of success. Are we going to give up like this?

How should we explain to the party-state, to the chairman of the committee, to General Wang Mingzhang, and to the many soldiers who died on the front lines for this?"

"Then we can only choose the second road, and order Liu Ruming's troops to leave Xuzhou immediately, march to the east to deploy defenses in the Nianzhuang area, and block the Japanese landing troops in Xuzhou wài wéi!

At the same time, Zhang Zizhong and Pang Gengchen were ordered to stick to Linyi.

Finally, and the most important part!

Yang Chen's Department, Sun Fanglu's Department, and Tang Keqin's Army, these three troops must wipe out the Japanese troops who invaded the Taierzhuang area before the Japanese 114th Division broke through Liu Ruming's defense line!

As long as this Japanese army is eaten, it is tantamount to cutting off an arm of the Japanese army that is attacking from the front.

Then, we will be able to free up at least 10 troops to defend Linyi in the north, and encircle and wipe out this Japanese landing force in the east!

However, this plan has great risks.

Whether it is Linyi or Nianzhuang, as long as there is one place that cannot be guarded, then Xuzhou must be in danger.

It is even possible that the Tang Keqin Corps, Huben Corps, Sun Fanglu's troops, and more than 10 main forces will fall into the encirclement of the Japanese army.

The consequences are unimaginable!"

General Bai Jiansheng's face was extremely dignified, and he was obviously full of worries about this adventurous plan.

"As for how to choose, it's up to you to decide!"

General Li Delin groaned with a downcast face, obviously having a hard time making a choice.

Because as the supreme commander of the fifth war zone, any of his misguided decisions may make him a sinner of the nation and the country.

General Bai Jiansheng sighed and said, "Mr. De, if you tell Yang Chen the bad news and ask him for his opinion, you may get unexpected results, maybe.

In my opinion.

Whether or not the Japanese army that invaded Taierzhuang could be completely wiped out in this campaign did not depend on Tang Keqin's army, let alone Sun Fanglu's troops, but mainly on Yang Chen and his Huben regiment. "

"Alright! Give Yang Chen power now, tell him the news that the Japanese army has landed in Haizhou Bay, Xuzhou is critical, and tell him about your two plans of Jiansheng, and see what he says!" General Li Delin thought for a while. After thinking about it, he nodded and agreed to General Bai Jiansheng's proposal.

"Okay!" General Bai Jiansheng nodded, then turned around and ordered a staff officer to follow orders.

…………

The news spread to Taierzhuang, Huben regiment headquarters.

The communications soldier in charge of the night watch received the telegram and couldn't help being taken aback. He rushed to the bedroom of the regiment seat Yang Chen as quickly as possible and woke him up.

"Regimental seat, there is an urgent message from the Commander's Department of the war zone. The 114th Division of the Japanese Army has just landed from Haizhou Bay. It captured Lianyungang half an hour ago and is now rushing towards Xuzhou!"

Yang Chen, who hadn't slept much for a few days and was still a little sleepy, suddenly broke out in a cold sweat when he heard the news, and instantly lost all sleepiness.

Immediately lifted the quilt and got up, grabbed the telegram, read it quickly, and said with a serious face: "Go and call all the battalion commanders to me, and tell me that there is an urgent military situation!"

"Yes!" The communications soldier agreed, and immediately ran to inform Liu Zheping, Xu Hailang and the others.

After a short meeting, Wang Gui, Chen Ming, Liu Zheping, Xu Hailang and other high-ranking officers of the Huben Regiment all arrived one after another.

Yang Chen told them the telegram sent by General Li Delin from the war zone commander's headquarters, the consequences of the 114th Division of the Japanese Army's landing in Lianyungang, and the current changes in the situation.

Chen Ming, Wang Gui and the others were quite surprised after hearing this, and they were completely relieved of sleepiness.

Only Li Jiufu, Zhang Dali and a few other masters whose brains were not working well still had an undisguised mocking smile on their faces.

"A mere division, what fear do we have?"

"Shut up Laozi!"

Yang Chen's eyes glared, and Li Jiufu immediately retracted his head like a child who has done something wrong.

Yang Chen really wanted to knock these two brainless guys off from the battalion commander's position.

If it wasn't for the lack of people in the Huben Group at that time, how could it be possible to arrange such important positions for these two idiots?

It was a waste of his training for so long, but he still didn't make any progress.

It's really rotten wood that can't be carved!

But this is the end of the matter, and it can only be so for the time being.
