As the highest military commander of the Fifth War Zone, General Li Delin must have the greatest pressure on his shoulders, because the Japanese Division attacked Lianyungang and headed west along the Longhai Line, and was already in chaos.

Seeing that Bai Jiansheng was still keeping him in hiding, he waved his hand and urged him: "Brother Jiansheng, it's time now, don't keep it in hiding, just say it."

Bai Jiansheng said with a serious expression: "First, give up Xuzhou immediately! Order Tang Keqin's army to cancel Taierzhuang and make a detour ambush plan against the 10th and 14th divisions of the Japanese army!

Transfer to the south bank of the canal!

At the same time, Yang Jing's Hu Ben Regiment and Sun Fanglu's 2nd Army continued to defend Taierzhuang!

In Linyi, Pang Gengchen's 40th Army and Zhang Xiuchen's 59th Army alternately cover the retreat!

Before the Japanese army surrounded Xuzhou from all sides, they transferred the main forces of the theater in advance.

In this way, although we are defeated, we will not lose too much military strength!”

After hearing this, General Li Delin couldn't help but frown, bit his back teeth, and said with unwillingness: "My fifth war zone has assembled hundreds of thousands of troops to defend North China and East China. Now that I have not made any achievements, should I give up like this?

If so, how should we explain to the Party and the State, to the Chairman, General Wang Mingzhang, and many soldiers who died on the front line for this?”

Bai Jiansheng seemed to have expected Li Delin's choice for a long time. He smiled slightly, then put away his smile and said solemnly: "Since Degong is unwilling to compromise on this, we have to choose the second way!

The troops of Liu Ruming, who were guarding Xuzhou, immediately went to the Nianzhuang area in the east to set up defenses, and blocked the landing troops of the Japanese Division on the periphery of Xuzhou!

At the same time, he ordered Pang Gengchen and Zhang Xiuchen's troops to defend Linyi! Even if he fought all his last troops and soldiers, he would not be allowed to break through the defense line!

The last and most important part!

With the combat effectiveness of Liu Ruming's troops, it is almost impossible to defeat the Japanese Division.

And Xuzhou has no more soldiers!

Therefore, Yang Jing's Tiger Regiment, Sun Fanglu's 2nd Army, and Tang Keqin's 20th Army, these three troops must completely annihilate the Japanese army invading the Taierzhuang area before the Japanese division broke through the defense line of Liu Ruming's troops!

As long as we eat this Japanese army, we can free up at least 100,000 troops, turn the guns, and annihilate the Japanese landing troops that launched a raid from Lianyungang!

but……"

After saying this, General Bai Jiansheng's face became more and more serious, and he continued: "But this plan poses great risks!

Because whether it is Linyi or Nianzhuang, as long as there is one place that cannot be held on, Xuzhou will inevitably be in danger.

Even more than 100,000 main troops, including the Tang Keqin Army, the Huben Army, Sun Fanglu’s troops, etc., would be trapped in the encirclement of nearly 100,000 Japanese troops.

The consequences are unimaginable!

Moreover, there is the most important point. The enemy of Taierzhuang has two permanent armored divisions!

Even though Isotani's 10th Division had been severely damaged by the Huber Regiment and the 31st Division, thousands of casualties were killed and killed in the 14th Division!

But the Japanese army still had more than 35,000 troops in Taierzhuang!

Moreover, once our army's encirclement plan is launched, the Japanese army in North China will definitely send a large number of aviation troops to assist in the war!

Therefore, although we have nearly 100,000 troops in Taierzhuang, it is still a big problem to eat the 10th Division of the Japanese Army and the 14th Division in a short period of time!

It can even be said that it is almost impossible!”

General Bai Jiansheng had a very solemn face, and he was obviously full of concern about this risky plan.

"Dong De, I have said everything I should say. As for how to choose, it depends on your own decision!"

General Li Delin frowned and collapsed his face, pondering silently, obviously it was difficult to make a choice.

Because as the supreme commander of the Fifth War Zone, any of his misguided decisions could put hundreds of thousands of troops in danger in the Fifth War Zone and make him a sinner of the country and nation.

It is of great importance, so even with General Li Delin's determination, he had to think twice before acting!

At this time, a senior staff officer in the war zone said with anger: "It was this Yang Jing who wanted to show off, which led to my fifth war zone falling into such a trap!

If we only deal with one 10th Division, why would we be so passive?”

"Yes! This Yang Jing is really eager for quick success and instant benefits! After all, he is still too young and energetic and not steady enough in his work!"

Another senior staff officer also agreed.

Yang Jing was like a dazzling star in the battlefield of Songhu, and was born out of nowhere. He made many military achievements and killed the Japanese army to fear!

Although it has made itself a superhero worshipped by countless Chinese military and civilians, it has also aroused the jealousy and dissatisfaction of many people.

Because of his existence, everyone's sharpness was covered.

Don’t be afraid of not knowing the goods, just be afraid of comparing goods!

Once there is a comparison, many people will appear to be incompetent, and these people will naturally stop doing it.

Therefore, there are many people who worship Yang Jing in the army. They are jealous of him and want to wait for him to fall from the altar and step on him hard!

These two senior staff members are two of them.

In the past, when Yang Jing made many military achievements, they did not dare to speak. Now, when they seized the opportunity, they would naturally pounce without hesitation like a wild dog smelling shit.

General Li Delin turned his head, stared at the two of them with anger, and shouted: "Shut up! Can you blame Yang Jing for this situation now?

I think it is clearly due to your jealousy!

A bunch of things that are not enough to make a mistake!

Not to mention that Yang Jing volunteered and was willing to lead the Hu Ben Group to the most dangerous frontline, this fearless spirit is worthy of the admiration and learning from all my party, country and soldiers!

It is said that Yang Jing's Tiger Regiment has successively severely damaged the 10th Division and the 14th Division in Teng County and Taierzhuang, and even killed a Japanese colonel's corps commander and a major general brigade commander.

This unparalleled war merit is something you will never achieve in your eight lifetimes!”

General Li Delin's anger erupted completely like a river breaking a dam. He paused and continued to shout: "You said that Yang Jing was young and energetic and not calm enough. In order to show off, I fell into such a dangerous situation in the fifth war zone, which is even more nonsense!

Not to mention that Yang Jing has led his troops to severely damage the 10th Division and the 14th Division of the Japanese Army. Even without Yang Jing’s plan, we may not be able to annihilate the 10th Division!

Moreover, even if the plan is finally completed, the price paid will be heavier than it is now!

Moreover, what should we do with the 14th Division of Ejaji?

Also, without Yang Jing's plan, wouldn't the Japanese Division have landed in Lianyungang and raided?

After all, this is the dereliction of duty of the chief officer of the war zone. The failure to strengthen the defense in the direction of Lianyungang gave the Japanese army an opportunity to take advantage of it!"

"But now that's the matter. As senior staff officers of the theater staff, you don't want to give advice and solve the current crisis.

Instead, he shirked responsibility and slandered the most successful generals!

What are your intentions?”

The two combat staff members had never seen General Li Delin, the commander-in-chief, were so angry that they were scared that their faces were gone, their legs were shaking like sieves, and they didn't even dare to breathe.

Because they all suddenly remembered that Yang Jing was not only supported by countless Chinese military and civilians, but also a celebrity in the eyes of the chairman.

If General Li Delin reported this matter, their career will come to an end.

Moreover, the saliva of countless Chinese soldiers and civilians can drown them alive.

The other officers who were originally a little jealous of Yang Jing couldn't help but secretly rejoice in their hearts, but fortunately they did not speak up to slander Yang Jing.

A moment later, General Zhuge Bai Jiansheng comforted him: "Dong De, now is not the time to get angry. What we need to do now is to find a way to resolve the current crisis immediately!"

Li Delin stared at the two of them with murderous gaze again, then turned his head to look at Bai Jiansheng and asked, "Brother Jiansheng, do you have any good plans?"

Bai Jiansheng sighed and said, "In my opinion, can our army gather and annihilate the 10th and 14th divisions of the Japanese army in Taierzhuang? It is not in Sun Fanglu's 2nd Army, nor in Tang Keqin's 20th Army.

But it is Yang Jing and his Tiger Group!

Moreover, the plans and suggestions for expanding the results of the war were also proposed by Yang Jing.

Looking at this person's previous record, he almost never played according to common sense, and had his own opinions on marching and fighting and placing troops.

Often, they can win by surprise and turn the impossible into possibility.

Therefore, if Duke De was unable to make a decision for the moment, he might as well tell Yang Jing this bad news and ask for his opinions. Perhaps he could get unexpected results, and maybe he could get them."

General Li Delin pondered for a while, nodded and agreed to General Bai Jiansheng's proposal: "Okay! I'll send Yang Jing now and tell him the news that the Japanese army landed from Haizhou Bay to raid Lianyungang and went west along the Longhai Line to threaten Xuzhou. And tell him your two plans, Brother Jiansheng, to see what he said!"

"Okay!" Bai Jiansheng nodded, turned around and ordered a communications consultant to act according to the order.

…………

The news reached Taierzhuang and the Huben Tuan.

The correspondent soldier who was on duty and was shocked when he received the message and immediately rushed to Yang Jing's bedroom at the regiment seat as quickly as possible and woke him up.

"The regiment is not good, and the war zone chief's headquarters urgently sent a telegram. The Japanese Division landed in Haizhou Bay and launched a night attack. It had already captured Lianyungang half an hour ago and is now advancing towards Xuzhou!"

Yang Jing, who hadn't been sleepy for a few days, suddenly heard the news and couldn't help but burst into a cold sweat, and was instantly lost.

I immediately lifted the quilt and stood up, grabbed the telegram, and after reading it quickly, it suddenly changed color.

Then he stood up and ordered loudly with a serious expression: "Go and call the battalion commanders of each battalion and each company to me, and then he said there is an urgent military situation of 100,000 urgent!"

"Yes!" The communications soldier responded with a loud promise, turned around immediately, and ran out of Yang Jing's bedroom quickly.

Yang Jing put on his clothes and came to the regiment command center.

Soon, bursts of rapid footsteps came from the door.

Chief of Staff Ma Haifeng, First Battalion Commander Bi Yuntao, Deputy Captain Long Yun, and Dazzling Spear Company Commander Monkey and others came to the door first.

Bi Yuntao said anxiously: "Chief of Staff, do you know what happened?"
