It was exactly two o'clock in the morning when Jiro Watanabe received the declaration of war. Even if he went back to send a telegram now, the military department or the cabinet of the country would have to convene a group of people to discuss countermeasures after receiving the telegram. It would be dawn, and by that time

The cucumbers and vegetables were probably getting cold by then, not to mention that it was not possible to come up with countermeasures right away. Whether it was the cabinet or the military department, people would definitely be unable to sleep. This day was not a peaceful one, and it was probably going to be lively for a while.

In the early morning of the 23rd, the General Staff of the Three Armies of the Chinese Empire and the Chinese Imperial Army had made all preparations and were quietly waiting for that moment to arrive. This battle was codenamed "Operation Sheep Circle."

The Chinese Empire's declaration of war on the disease came into effect at 2 a.m. When the time came, Jiang Baili, director of the General Staff of the Chinese Empire's armed forces, announced a combat order: "Attention, all ministries, the sacred moment for the Chinese Imperial Army has arrived. We shoulder the responsibility of

It is our mission to save the nation and revitalize China. The Grand Marshal of the Chinese Empire has authorized me to issue an order: order all ministries to march forward bravely to kill the enemy, unify China, and expel the bandits. The sheep-rounding operation begins now."

At that time, all the troops going out were already ready for the expedition, and the engines had been warmed up and were just waiting for the order from the General Staff. As soon as the order from a certain department of the General Staff was issued, troops had already been dispatched in advance and were now located at the critical points of Jinhua and Shaoxing in Zhejiang.

Su Yu, commander of the Seventh Field Corps and the future God of War, was sitting in an armored command vehicle and loudly ordered through a wireless transmitter: "Let's go."

In an instant, the armored cluster roared, and the tanks were like monsters in the night, making frightening roars and rushing toward the east.

Mud horses are really scary. There are more than 100,000 troops. There are three armored divisions alone, followed by a highly mechanized infantry division and an artillery division. This lineup is said to be made of steel.

The torrent is not an exaggeration at all, let alone facing the 50,000 to 60,000 troops of the weak country who were extremely poor at this period. Oh, yes, it is a bit bullying, it is simply destroying the opponent, the miserable people of the weak country.

Of course, the Seventh Field Corps will be followed by the fourth column and some working groups stationed in Zhejiang. Their tasks are basically the same as before. Two brigades will cooperate with the working groups west of Hangzhou, and the other three brigades will be stationed in Zhejiang.

As the 7th Field Corps marches to Shanghai. There are good things in Shanghai. The expatriates from the weak country, their property, and other things. You know, all of these must be kept, and the war will also make money!

Even though Su Yu is currently the youngest and very young among all the field corps, he is the one who has received the most personal instruction from the Generalissimo. He has the most comprehensive knowledge of modern corps operations. At present, he just lacks actual combat training. Some people ask why the Generalissimo values ​​​​so much.

Su Yu, Dayuan

Shuai replied: Some people are born for war. These are the so-called geniuses. As long as they are given a chance, they will shine brightly. Although some people can create some achievements through acquired efforts, they must be compared with these geniuses.

In comparison, it is inferior.

In the middle line, the Sixth Field Corps has already crossed the junction of Henan and Anhui in advance and is now on standby in the area south of Bengbu. Qiu Qingquan, commander of the Sixth Field Corps of the Chinese Empire, also issued an order immediately after the General Staff Headquarters of the Chinese Empire issued the order.

received the order to go out. Their mission was to go straight towards Nanzhijing and surround the impotent bandits.

The north bank of the Yangtze River. This road is even more stupid. The Japanese army currently blocking the north bank of the Yangtze River only has more than 20,000 troops. You have to overwhelm more than 100,000 steel lions. Isn’t this a bit too much? This is also true.

There is no way, the Chinese Imperial Army has always adhered to the concept of attacking the weak with the strong and smashing the tofu with the hammer, and will never give its opponents any chance.

Behind them is the third column of the advance army and some working groups. The mission of the third column of the advance army and the working groups is the entire Anhui Province in Jiangbei. Of course, other operations can be arranged when necessary.

This time Zhang Lingfu failed to win the key battle, and was sent to the northern front to cross south, blocking the Japanese retreat route just in case. Before the war, he said to Qiu Qingquan and Su Yu: "Brother, I am miserable, take care of it."

The task has been given to you two. I am just eating leftovers. You two should be a little human and treat me to a drink later! Soothe my injured soul."

Su Yu was relatively young and didn't say anything about it, but Qiu Qingquan was different. He smiled and said: "Okay, brother, don't blame us if we drown ourselves with wine later! We are both lucky, brother."

If you express your condolences and accept the change, the pain will soon pass."

Zhang Lingfu's Fifth Corps will move from Henan to Suzhou and Suqian. His more than 100,000 troops will be deployed in Linyi, Lianyungang, Huai'an, and Yancheng. The advance troops already in Shandong will cooperate with them to intercept the Japanese retreat route.

Generally speaking, this situation is impossible to occur, it is just a matter of preparation.

The task given to them by the General Staff on the battlefield in Xuzhou was to have the four armies of Wang Conlin's Eighth Army, Cong Longyun's Ninth Army, Huang Shujing's Tenth Army, and Liu Huichun's Eleventh Army encircle the current enemy in Xuzhou.

The army has made full preparations before the operation. After the order from the General Staff Headquarters is issued, the four armies immediately start taking action. Each army must make sure before dawn.

It must be deployed in place to form an encirclement. Shit, this is even more stupid. One army has about 40,000 people, and four armies are 160,000 horses! Xuzhou's weak army originally only had about 40,000 people, and now it consumes only about 40,000 people.

There are more than 30,000 people left, more than four against one. Well, there is really no reason to reason. Why do you always have the habit of abusing people? It's a bit immoral, right?

On the Jinan battlefield on the northern front, the General Staff ordered Hu Lian's 12th Army to encircle the current enemy in Jinan with 40,000 troops. There were less than 10,000 current enemies left, and it was four against one. And Sun Liren's

The Thirteenth Army, Luan Yong's Fourteenth Army and Li Ming's Fifteenth Army stood up

Go deep into Shandong and spread out all over Shandong. The Fei army only left the main force of one brigade in the rear of Shandong. The others were all miscellaneous and had little combat effectiveness. How could they withstand the attack of so many Chinese Imperial troops?

What about kneading? The answer is self-evident.

Throughout the night, the lights in the General Staff Headquarters of the Three Armies of the Chinese Empire stayed on all night, paying close attention to the developments on the front line with great nervousness. The staff headquarters was busy but not chaotic, with many staff officers busy, constantly determining the specific positions of each department and marking them on the sand table.

It was 3:52 in the morning, and the first good news to be reported was the Jinan battlefield on the northern front. Hu Lian's Twelfth Army called to inform them that the unit had moved in place and completed the encirclement of the current enemy, and was waiting for the headquarters.

latest instructions.

Chief of General Staff Jiang Baili immediately instructed Commander Hu Lian: "After completing the encirclement, wait for the next order. If the current enemy makes any changes, we can resolutely strike."

At 4:15 minutes, a report came from the Xuzhou battlefield on the center line: the Xuzhou battlefield had completed the encirclement and was waiting for further instructions from the headquarters.

Chief of General Staff Jiang Baili immediately instructed Wang Conlin and other four army commanders: "After completing the encirclement, wait for the next order. If the current enemy makes any changes, we can resolutely strike."

At 4:40, Qiu Qingquan's Sixth Field Corps sent back a report: The troops had arrived at the designated location, and all units had begun to deploy and were waiting for further instructions.

Chief of General Staff Jiang Baili immediately instructed Commander Qiu Qingquan: "After completing the encirclement, wait for the next order. If the current enemy makes any changes, we can resolutely strike."

At 4:50, Su Yu's 7th Field Corps reported back: the troops had arrived at the designated location outside Hangzhou, and the ministries were now beginning to carry out maintenance and fuel replenishment, and were waiting for further instructions.

Chief of the General Staff Jiang Baili instructed Commander Su Yu: "Your department must ensure that the next step is to annihilate the Qi bandits and rescue the 19th Army, and request that the interception of the northern Qi Army's retreat to Shanghai be completed before nine o'clock."
Chapter completed!
