The eastern suburbs of Xuzhou, where the Baoshan Brigade is stationed.
The three special forces members who came out had been thrown to the ground by the young man, but it was Tang Dashan who came out this time.
"Ha!" Tang Dashan roared, and whipped the young man's left face viciously with a whip. Tang Dashan's whip came from Yue Weihan's true biography, and there was no one left to spare. The special battles onlookers nearby
The expressions of the team members suddenly changed, thinking that if Captain Tang had used this whip kick just now, they would probably not be able to catch it.
But the young man smiled suddenly, and then he whipped out the same whip, but it hit the base of Tang Dashan's right leg first. There was a muffled sound of swelling, and Tang Dashan suddenly lost his footing.
, the whole person suddenly flew up, and was thrown back for more than ten meters, before falling heavily to the ground.
Yue Weihan's eyes suddenly turned sharp. To kick a big man like Tang Dashan, who is more than two meters tall and weighs more than two hundred kilograms, so far, how much leg and foot strength does this man have? Moreover, no matter the angle, strength or timing of the kick, this man can kick it so far.
Everything was grasped just right. It is obvious that this is a real practitioner!
"What a skill!" Yue Weihan clapped, "What's your name?"
The young man then waved his hand and said, "My name is Chu Zhongtian."
"Okay." Yue Weihan said happily, "From now on, you can follow me and work as a guard for me."
"I don't." The young man refused without hesitation, "I want to join the special operations team. There are fifty people in the special operations team."
"Uh..." Yue Weihan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said angrily, "If you work as a guard for me, I will give you another fifty yuan, how about that?"
"Medium." The young man nodded and said, "But I want fifty."
Yue Weihan waved his hand, and a soldier had already brought a letter from the ocean.
Chu Zhongtian took Xian Dayang and said happily: "Sir, I'll go back to get some medicine first, and then I'll settle down with my wife. I'll come back to you later, and I'll be a guard for you. How about that?"
"Sure." Yue Weihan said, "Go."
"Hey." Chu Zhongtian agreed, put Xian Dayang into his bag and walked away happily.
Liu Tiezhu said: "Tourist, just let him leave like this? What if this kid doesn't come back?"
"He will come back." Yue Weihan said with a smile, "As good as he is, if he is a little evil-minded, how can he not get fifty yuan to go to the ocean, so why should he join our Baoshan Brigade to apply for the army?"
"That's true." Liu Tiezhu scratched his head and said, "But this guy's skills are quite good."
Yue Weihan said: "This boy is very skilled, but he is not suitable for joining the special forces team yet. You should follow my request and train these eighteen team members for me. If you want anything, you can ask for it, but I will say it first."
, but when it comes time to use you, you are holding me back, because I want you to look good."
"Yes." Liu Tiezhu stood up at attention and said loudly, "Don't worry, please."
Yue Weihan then snorted and walked away with the limping Tang Dashan.

Nanjing, Japanese Central China Front Army Headquarters.
Major General Tsukada, Chief of Staff of the Front Army, hurried into Matsui Iwane's office and said angrily: "Your Excellency, General, Ogisu Rihei sent an urgent telegram from Wanxi, and the contact with Miss Yuko was suddenly interrupted!"
Until now, the Japanese troops on the Central China Front do not know that the Baoshan Regiment has moved north to Xuzhou. The 13th Division of Ogizhou Rihei and the 18th Division of Sadao Nakajima are still circling in the mountains of western Anhui. The Central China Front Army's
The higher-ups are still hoping to draw out the main force of the national army in eastern Hubei and northern Jiangxi and gather them together to annihilate them.
Speaking of which, the little devils also trusted their ace agent Yuko Kawashima too much.
After listening to this, Matsui Iwane looked indifferent, and then handed the message in front of him to Tsukada Gong.
Tsukada took the telegram and hurriedly read it, then his expression changed and he said: "The 5th and 10th Divisions have fallen into a tight siege by the Chinese Army in the Lushan area? This..."
Matsui Iwane sighed and said: "Tsukada-kun, we have all been tricked by the Chinese."
Tsukada was stunned. He had vaguely guessed the whole story, but he couldn't believe it was true.
Matsui Iwane said: "Sato-san just reported that the Special High School Division has deciphered the Chinese secret code. As early as four days ago, the Baoshan Regiment had secretly arrived in Xuzhou and expanded into the Baoshan Brigade, guiding the 13th Division and
The 18th Division operating in the mountains of western Anhui is just a small unit of the Baoshan Regiment."
"This..." Tsukada lost his voice and said, "Miss Yuko, she..."
Tsukada said urgently: "Your Excellency, General, the situation of the 5th and 10th Divisions is not good. Do you want to send a telegram to the Ogisu Division and the Nakajima Division to immediately turn north and flank Xuzhou?"
"This is not something I should consider." Matsui Iwane waved his hand and said, "The base camp has received a call. I will return to China to report on my duties. The position of commander of the Central China Front will be taken over by His Excellency Shunroku Hata. At noon today, His Excellency Shunroku Hata will fly on a special plane.
Go to Shanghai, you can ask him for advice if you have anything."
"Your Excellency, General..." Tsukada couldn't help but look miserable, and Lord Matsui was dismissed after all.
But then again, the Battle of Nanjing was so hard and brutal. The Japanese suffered nearly 100,000 casualties, and the number of dead soldiers alone was as high as 60,000. In addition, they were repeatedly humiliated by the Baoshan Regiment, which almost made the Japanese lose face.
After all, as the supreme commander of the Central China Front, Matsui Iwane was indeed a close friend.
Especially this time, Matsui Iwane mistakenly proposed to the base camp the strategic concept of luring and annihilating the main force of the national army in the central Anhui area, delaying the plan of the 13th and 18th Divisions to go north to Xuzhou, which directly caused the loss of the 5th and 10th Divisions in North China.
The lone army penetrated deeply and was surrounded by heavy Chinese troops in the mountains of southern Shandong. This caused huge repercussions internationally.
Whether it is the traditional Western powers such as the United States, Britain, and France, or the Red Soviet Union, all media are gloating and advocating, claiming that once the 5th and 10th main divisions of the Japanese army are surrounded and annihilated by the Chinese army, the Japanese army will be completely lost and continue an all-out offensive.
capabilities, and thus had to negotiate with the Chinese government.
Although the ordinary people in Japan do not know the truth, so they have not reacted too much, the domestic elites have enough channels to know this information. They have already put pressure on the government to replace Matsui Iwane. Against this background
It is absolutely impossible for Matsui Iwane to remain as commander of the Central China Front.

Tokyo, Japanese Army Base Camp Staff Headquarters.
Ishihara Kanji, the director of the Operations Department of the General Staff Headquarters, strode into the office of the Japanese Chief of General Staff Kanin Miyazaihito with a thick folder in his hand. Although Ishihara Kanji was only the director of the Operations Department in name, his operational
However, most of the functions and powers of the General Staff Headquarters have been centralized in the General Staff Headquarters. Therefore, Kanji Ishihara is actually the de facto Deputy Chief of Staff.
However, even if Ishihara Kanji is the de facto deputy chief of staff of the General Staff Headquarters, he still has to ask the chief of the general staff Kanin Gongzaihito for instructions on some major matters. Although the prince only holds a casual position, he actually does not do much.
Although he was not involved in specific affairs, he had been controlling the military affairs of the empire for decades and was extremely powerful.
"Your Highness, this is the battle plan for Xuzhou just drawn up by the War Department." Ishihara Wanji respectfully handed the folder to Xianyuan Gong Zairen and said, "Please take a look."
Xianyuan Gong Zairen did not read the documents immediately and said: "Please tell me the general idea first."
"Hai." Ishihara Wanji lowered his head suddenly and stated immediately, "The general concept of this combat plan is to use the 5th and 10th divisions to detain the enemy in front of them, and then urgently mobilize from within the country to form 20 reserves.
Divisions, rush to the China battlefield, and supplemented by elite troops from North China and Central China, we plan to use 13 to 15 divisions to carry out encirclement and annihilation operations against the main China forces on the Xuzhou battlefield!"
It must be admitted that Japan’s military service system during World War II was very complete and its mobilization capabilities were also very strong!
Although the Japanese army has only 17 permanent divisions, the service life of the soldiers is only two years. Therefore, there are a large number of retired soldiers in the private sector. These retired soldiers are reserve forces, also known as local soldiers. After the July 7th Incident, the Japanese government immediately mobilized
A large number of soldiers in the countryside were organized into 20 ad hoc divisions.
Until the Battle of Xuzhou broke out, the main strength of the Japanese army consisted of these 37 divisions, plus a small number of mixed brigades.
Among these 37 divisions, the Guards Division is stationed and defends Tokyo all year round, 6 divisions are stationed on the four mainland islands, 2 divisions are stationed in North Korea, and the 1st, 2nd, 4th, and 10th divisions are four veteran divisions.
The regiment is affiliated to the Kwantung Army and is stationed outside the Kwantung Army all year round. The remaining 24 divisions have been deployed in the battlefields of Meng-Sui, North China and Central China.
The war of aggression against China has been fought so far, and the strength of these 24 divisions has been used to the limit. In particular, the 9 main divisions of the Central China Front Army have suffered heavy casualties. If the Japanese base camp were to launch the Xuzhou Battle, they would gather on the Xuzhou battlefield.
After the main force of the Chinese army was encircled and annihilated in one fell swoop, it could only be urgently mobilized from within the country to form new divisions.
Hanyuan Gong Zairen frowned and said: "Ishihara-kun, would it be too much to mobilize and form 20 divisions?"
Ishihara smiled and said: "Your Highness, if it is just to encircle and annihilate the dozens of China divisions on the front of the Xuzhou battlefield, mobilizing and organizing 10 divisions will be enough. But if we want to take advantage of the situation to capture Wuhan, where the China camp is located, and finally force the China government to
If we surrender, it will be impossible without 20 divisions."
Xianyuan Gong Zairen pondered for a moment and then said: "Okay, then 20 divisions, you can take this combat plan back. You don't need to ask me for instructions on specific combat matters. The War Department can make its own decisions." After saying this,
Xianyuan Gong Zairen specially warned, "But this time we must encircle and annihilate that damn Baoshan Brigade on the Xuzhou battlefield."
"Hai." Ishihara smiled and lowered his head suddenly, then immediately took the order.
…
Peiping, Japanese North China Front Headquarters.
Lieutenant General Okabe Naosaburo, Chief of Staff of the North China Front, hurriedly walked into the office of the commander, General Juichi Terauchi, immediately stopped his feet and stood at attention and said: "General, are you looking for me?"
"Okabe-kun, you came just in time." General Juichi Terauchi stood up to greet him and said, "The headquarters has decided to set up a China squad command post in Jinan, Shandong, to centrally coordinate the troops participating in the Xuzhou Battle in North China and Central China, and the front army staff headquarters
You don’t have to worry about the specific affairs anymore, you will leave for Jinan in the afternoon."
