Xuzhou, the head of the Fifth War Zone.

General Li Delin received the good news that the Taierzhuang defenders defeated the Japanese attacking troops again, and was first surprised.

But when he learned that the Japanese army had violated international conventions and used poison gas bombs, he immediately fell into endless anger.

He couldn't help but angrily said: "Damn it! These inhuman Japanese devils dare to violate international conventions and use poison gas bombs. It's really a pity!"

General Bai Jiansheng frowned and said, "Dong De, since the Japanese dared to commit such a huge bloody case in Nanjing, it is completely reasonable to use poisonous gas bombs to deal with the Tiger Ben Group.

What we need to do now is, first, report this matter to the Commissioner immediately, and let the Commissioner expose the inhumane and inhumane actions of the Japanese army through domestic and foreign media!

Second, we will immediately inform the local methods of dealing with the Japanese poisonous gas bombs to prevent other troops from being harmed by the Japanese army again!”

"Um!"

Li Delin agreed with the emphasis on the key points and adopted Bai Jiansheng's proposal.

...

Wuhan.

The Chairman always wants to use the power of Western powers to mediate or force the Japanese army to cease war!

Now, he finally seized the opportunity.

Without thinking, he immediately held a press conference and disclosed the news that the Japanese army had blatantly violated international conventions and used poison gas bombs in Taierzhuang through domestic and foreign media.

After the publicity and disclosure of this news by domestic and foreign media, it immediately fell into a cesspool like a bomb.

It has caused huge public opinion storms at home and abroad.

Dozens of well-known media at home and abroad, such as the British Times, BBC, the Soviet Union's Pravda, the United States' New York Times, etc., have spoken out to criticize Japan for its inhuman behavior.

...

Shanghai.

US Concession, Field Family Office.

The person who spoke to the Field family in Asia, Ross Field, the second uncle of Alice Field, slowly put down the newspaper in his hand, picked up a cup of coffee next to him, and took a sip.

A different smile appeared in his mouth: "This Yang Jing is really a military genius. The Japanese even used poison gas bombs, but they were defeated.

It seems that we have to reassess the war between Japan and China."

A middle-aged man in the suit looks like an assistant next to him said, "Second Master, do you think China can still achieve the final victory of this war?"

Ross Field smiled and said, "If I had been killed before, I wouldn't have thought China could win, but now..."

The assistant said in surprise: "Second Master, what do you mean? Is it because of Yang Jing's variable?"

Ross Field nodded and said, "Not bad!"

The assistant said again: "Only Yang Jing can win a local war, but if you want to reverse the entire war, it seems that it is still like a storm, which is not much difference, right?

For example, China's Fifth War Zone now seems to have achieved a little victory in Taierzhuang.

But as long as the Central and Chinese Japanese troops head north in large numbers, the defeat of the Fifth War Zone will be only a matter of time.”

This assistant has been stationed in China all year round and has become a Chinese master, so he can not only speak fluent Chinese, but also speak many idioms.

Ross Field shook his head and said, "Henry, you still underestimate this Yang Jing too much.

Although he is just a mere team leader, his significance to China has even surpassed their chairman.

The ever-victorious army of the Tiger Ben Regiment has long become a banner of the Chinese army!

Yang Jing is not only a national hero in China, but also a spiritual belief of countless Chinese military and civilians.

It can be said that as long as the Tiger Group wins and remains unbeaten, it will always inspire the morale of the Chinese army and strengthen their confidence in winning the fight against Japan.

The power of this belief may be difficult to see significant results in the short term.

But don't forget that Japan is just an island country after all, and their war potential is very limited, and it can be said that it is far from comparable to China.

Therefore, as long as the front line grows over time, the gap between the strength of the Japanese army and the Chinese army will be infinitely narrowed due to various factors such as humanities and geography.

Once the Japanese army falls into the quagmire of war, they cannot defeat China in a short period of time. After losing their aggressive spirit, it will become increasingly difficult to defeat China led by the government!"

Henry fell into deep thought.

Ross Field didn't care. After taking another sip of coffee, he continued: "I really want to find an opportunity. I will meet this Yang Jing quickly, and start our Field family as soon as possible to cooperate with it!"

...

The same conversation was still being held at other places at home and abroad.

Many Western powers and those top families have begun a new round of assessments, making various plans and plans for future national destiny and family destiny.

…………

Peking, the Japanese North China Front Command.

Soichi Shizuka also got the news.

The old Japanese man's face was almost pissed off, and he lifted off the water cup, pens, ink, documents and other items on the desk in front of him.

It was a mess and fell all over the floor.

Shinuen Satoi's eyes were about to spit out of fire, biting his back teeth, and cursing hatefully: "Baga, Lu! Damn, it's really hateful!

This Isotani Ryosuke is really a useless waste. He even couldn't capture Taierzhuang after using poison gas bombs!

And this Doihira Kenji, what does he do for?

He actually dared to be the most outstanding spyman in China in the history of the Great Japanese Empire!

I think he is also a useless waste!

Can poison gas bombs be used at will?"

Chief of Staff Naosabu Okabe, who was standing aside, comforted him: "Chief, please calm down. There is no need for us to care too much about these so-called international public opinion. Since our great Japanese Empire has created poison gas bombs, it will be used sooner or later.

Didn’t the Nanjing incident also aroused huge international public opinion?

You also saw the final result. Didn’t those Western countries just talk and let it go?

It is simply a dream that the Chinese government wants to use international public opinion to check and balance our Great Japanese Imperial Army!"

Teraunuchi said: "This is the time, the other is the time; when our great Japanese Imperial Army won the Battle of Shanghai and the Battle of Nanjing, those Western countries will naturally not be as good as that.

But now, our North China Imperial Army has suffered consecutive losses, so it is difficult to ensure that those Western countries will not have any other bad ideas!”

Naosaburo Okabe said: "Mr. Commander, I just got the news that the 1st Navy Fleet and the Imperial Army Division will arrive in Linyungang tonight at the latest.

As long as our surprise attack plan is completed, we can easily defeat the fifth war zone in China!

It is only a matter of time that Taierzhuang defended the enemy was completely wiped out.

What's more, the Central China Imperial Army has also begun to head north!"

"Um!"

Upon hearing this news, Soichi Tezuka's distorted face finally calmed down a little.

…………

Above the Yellow Sea.

When Yang Jing led the Huben Regiment to confront the Japanese 10th Division and the 14th Division in Taierzhuang, he transported the Japanese 10th Division's naval transport fleet and a special mixed fleet from the 1st Fleet that came from Qingdao.

Under the cover of night, it quietly approached the waters of Lianyungang.

After some planning.

The Japanese army decided to log in at the early morning when the defenders of Lianyungang were the most tired and the most relaxed.

At that time, all the main forces in the Fifth War Zone of the National Army were deployed along the Jinpu Railway and the Huaihe River defense line in the south to resist the Central and Japanese troops heading north.

There is only one local security regiment in Lianyungang and several police and military police teams in the city.

The total force is only 2,000, let alone sneak attacks, even head-on battles.

These 2,000 local miscellaneous troops cannot be opponents of the elite Japanese division.

The reason why the Japanese chose to log in at night was just to catch the defenders off guard.

After resolving the battle at the fastest speed, you can go west along the Longhai Railway line overnight to raid Xuzhou and carry out a surprise attack on the Fifth War Zone.

This will directly end the entire Xuzhou battle and win this battle!

It's night.

At exactly twelve o'clock in the morning, the direction of Linhai Pier of Lianyungang.

A large number of Japanese troops were quietly riding landing ships, rubber boats, etc. with the help of the night, approaching the dock.

It was late at night and the wind was cold!

The hundreds of defenders on the dock, except for a few patrols who were standing guard and patrolling listlessly, most of the rest were sleeping soundly in the warm barracks.

It’s not that they are low in vigilance, but that no one expected that the Japanese army would attack Lianyungang by sea.

Don't say that these miscellaneous defenders are unexpected.
