After returning home, Zhang Tianhao sat at home and looked at the documents on the table.

This was a top-secret document he had just taken from the military police, which contained some plans written by the Japanese, especially a copy of a document.

That was a copy sent by the Japanese military headquarters in Nanjing, hoping that the entire Japanese army in Shanghai would cooperate with the Japanese in carrying out the mopping-up operation, especially at this time.

After all, it was soon May, and the Japanese had to ensure the safety and stability of the rear, so they carried out large-scale sweeps in various places in order to ensure the smooth operation of the front lines.

The Chinese rear area became the Japanese army's logistics supply base, and this required stability in the rear area.

Zhang Tianhao had already thought of this plan, and the Japanese even implemented it.

However, this plan was destroyed once by Zhang Tianhao, but he did not expect that the scale of what the Japanese were doing this time would be much larger than he had imagined.

It seems that they are determined to destroy all the anti-Japanese weapons in the rear, so as to ensure the smooth operation of the southern and western fronts and to ensure the capture of more places.

"This time, the Military Police was taken down again. I don't know what Yingzuo will think, or what he will come up with to resolve this Military Police incident."

After a while, Zhang Tianhao just let out a long sigh, then sat there and began to change himself. After all, there were still many things he didn't understand about this promotion.

……

Yan'an.

Old Li felt a little numb when he looked at the telegram he had just received.

After all, he never imagined that Zhang Tianhao liked to send him telegrams in the middle of the night, and every telegram was so explosive that he would not stop until he was shocked to death.

"I didn't expect that the Japanese had this purpose, and they even mobilized the troops that were originally going to South Asia to cooperate in the mopping-up operation. What the hell is this?"

"Damn it, I was wondering why the Japanese mobilized troops on such a large scale, and also transferred a large number of troops ashore from various coastal areas. It turns out they were waiting for us here."

Old Li also let out a long sigh.

He originally thought that the Japanese wanted to launch a large-scale attack on the base, or advance westward to squeeze the living space of the anti-Japanese army. He did not expect that the Japanese goal was here.

"It's really bad. Jiangsu, Shandong, Henan, Hebei, Shanxi and other provinces have become the main targets of the crackdown."

"It seems that the root of all this is that some anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians have caused headaches for the Japanese, especially what the guy in Jiangsu did, which made the Japanese hate him to the core."

After all, Lao Li knew how many people and troops Zhang Tianhao had under his command. Although it was just an approximate number, these troops were definitely well-trained and their combat effectiveness was so strong that even Lao Li had to smile bitterly.

If we include the army led by Ning Tao, Zhang Tianhao's subordinate in North China, there are at least more than 100,000 people, and this is just a preliminary estimate.

He also made a preliminary estimate that the number of troops in Jiangsu alone was at least more than 80,000, and this was not comprehensive. Otherwise, the Japanese would have returned in disgrace several times after their all-out encirclement and suppression.

You have to know that in 39 and 40, the Japanese mobilized three or four divisions, cooperated with the Japanese garrison battalions and puppet troops in various places, but failed to take it down. On the contrary, the Japanese army suffered countless losses.

"It looks like it might really be aimed at this kid!"

After thinking about it, Lao Li let the matter go. After all, the main direction of the Japanese attack this time was the anti-Japanese armed forces in the three provinces of Shandong, Anhui and Jiangsu.

"Xiaoyu, send me a telegram immediately."

Looking at Xiaoyu standing in front of him, a serious look flashed across Lao Li's eyes.

"Yes!"

Lao Li immediately took out a pen and wrote something on a piece of paper. "The Japanese army's focus is on Jiangsu, and they have mobilized more than five divisions to encircle it."

Xiaoyu took the telegram, read it carefully, and then her eyes became more serious.

The five divisions were mobilized, but not only the five divisions, but also a large number of puppet troops, Japanese garrison battalions and other miscellaneous troops.

"Minister, this is more than 200,000!"

"Well, there are almost more than 200,000 of them. This is also a test for him. If he is not careful, the whole army may be wiped out. These are all anti-Japanese forces."

Lao Li looked at Xiaoyu seriously, and then instructed Xiaoyu: "This is a test for him. We have no way to intervene, and we can't intervene. Do you understand?"

"understand!"

Xiaoyu also understood that the Japanese had mobilized more than 200,000 troops, and even if they wanted to help, they were powerless. Even if all the anti-Japanese armed forces of the parties around them were added together, including the New Fourth Army, there would only be a few tens of thousands of people, or even less.

"Minister, isn't the young master's side even more dangerous?"

"You, you really think too much. Do you think this guy is a fool? I just don't know if he can survive this anti-encirclement and suppression campaign and keep his manpower."

"This time, the Japanese army should be heading south, and they are the main force. Now they are passing through these places, which are exactly the places where they are causing the most trouble. It seems that the boy's men are causing too much trouble, and the Japanese are worried. Even Nanjing is quite dissatisfied with the rule."

"But what about the young master?"

"How could something happen to your master? The key issue now is what to do with his troops. They may be in big trouble this time. Alas!"

……

At home, Zhang Tianhao looked at the telegram he had just received with an extremely ugly face. He didn't even know what to say. He never thought that this time the Japanese were targeting him.

Although this is inconsistent with the content of the document in his hand, it can still be seen that the content of the document in his hand is only a small part of this plan.

"I didn't expect that the Japanese would spend so much manpower to deal with him. If we don't make good use of it, the consequences will be quite serious."

Zhang Tianhao sat in the hall, slowly thinking about countermeasures, especially since this time the Japanese sent out five divisions, plus troops from all over the country, totaling more than 200,000 troops. This was also a huge test for Zhang Tianhao.

"It seems that I really have to take action this time. I also have to find the second squadron and follow it. It's best to jump out of the encirclement, otherwise there will be no escape this time."

He knew very well that this time was completely different from the last time. The last time, the Japanese underestimated his strength, which led to failure. Then there was the incident of the New Fourth Army, which made it difficult for the Japanese to find many troops for a while.

Now the troops transferred from Japan, or the troops heading south, preparing to fight in South Asia, actually came down halfway and caused trouble for Zhang Tianhao's men.

"All right!"

For a moment, Zhang Tianhao's brain started working rapidly, and he even began to think about what to do next.

It didn't take long for Zhang Tianhao to come up with a plan. After all, it was impossible for him to command from Shanghai. Instead, he had to find a way to escape.

Time is life. What he needs to do now is to command the army comprehensively.

"Cui Lan, Mo Zhu, come in, take two people each and drive. We are leaving Shanghai and heading to Jiangbei. Let's make arrangements to cross the river now."

"Yes!"

The two women who were on night watch outside immediately responded when they heard this. (End of this chapter)
