Time passed quickly. A week later, Zhang Tianhao arrived directly at the front line and personally took command of the front line. He secretly concentrated troops in Jiangsu and Anzheng provinces to prepare for a major war with the Japanese army.

As Huaiyuan County and several other counties were captured by the army under the command of Zhang Tianhao, the Japanese army was shocked on a large scale, and even the Kuomintang and the Communist Party were as surprised as if they had eaten firecrackers.

After all, this battle made the Chinese troops on the front battlefield realize that there was such an army in the Japanese war zone that had the strength to capture three counties in one go.

As Zhang Tianhao ordered his men to capture three county towns, it attracted the attention of the Japanese army. Therefore, a Japanese B-class division that originally wanted to advance to Jiangsu also brought a large number of puppet troops and rushed directly to Huaiyuan County.

In addition, Japanese troops from many places also began to gather and rushed towards these three counties in Anhui.

Zhang Tianhao looked at the direction of the Japanese attack on the map, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly. After all, this time, his purpose was to attract the Japanese army.

After all, this time, he wanted to let the Japanese army realize that his men, Zhang Tianhao, were not cowards and dared to confront the Japanese army head-on. Even on the front battlefield, there probably weren't many troops like them.

"Master, a Japanese division has appeared in Xuzhou, and together with the puppet troops, there are almost 20,000 people, rushing towards us."

"More than 8 people, that's really brave. Inform the 9th, 6th, 7th, and th squadrons to cut off all the Japanese troops' routes with Guzhen as the center, and then directly encircle this group of Japanese troops with Guxian as the center. Remember, this battle must be fought quickly."

"understand!"

"Report, Master, a division has appeared from the direction of Nanjing, plus about 20,000 puppet troops, about 35,000 people. They are rushing towards us."

"Notify the Fifth and Fourth Squadrons to block the enemy in sections. Focus on killing the enemy's manpower. Do not fight to the death. Focus on consuming the enemy and preventing them from advancing."

"Yes!"

"Report, there is a Japanese army in the direction of Yancheng, about a brigade, plus a puppet army, about 12,000 people."

"Inform Lao Zhang and his men to focus on blocking the enemy from the flanks and sabotaging them to slow down their advance. You have to give me a month, understand?"

"besides……"

As the Japanese troops attacked from all directions, Zhang Tianhao also made arrangements one by one.

The strength of the twelve squadrons was clearly manipulated by Zhang Tianhao.

For a time, large-scale battles broke out in many places in Anzheng and Jiangsu provinces, which was later called the Huaiyuan Campaign.

With 80,000 men under his command, plus his contact with Lao Zhang and the others, there were nearly 10,000 more troops, a total of 90,000 troops, and the battle was difficult to determine the winner for a while.

However, with the outbreak of the Guxian Battle, a Japanese division plus more than 10,000 puppet troops were annihilated by Zhang Tianhao's army of nearly 50,000. The balance of the war has slowly shifted towards Zhang Tianhao.

With the end of the Guxian Campaign, the five squadrons did not even take a break and rushed directly towards the Japanese troops in the direction of Nanjing.

Under the lure of the 4th and 5th squadrons, nearly 30,000 Japanese and puppet troops from Nanjing fell directly into the pocket formation set up by Zhang Tianhao.

An army of nearly 60,000 faced nearly 30,000 Japanese and puppet troops. Finally, the Dingyuan Campaign was launched in Dingyuan County, and the Japanese and puppet troops were almost wiped out in one bite. Less than 10,000 Japanese and puppet troops escaped.

But the losses of the seven squadrons were also considerable.

After all, fighting on the frontal battlefield is far more serious than ordinary sneak attacks.

Zhang Tianhao had no other choice but to take out most of the penicillin and directly devote himself to post-war recovery.

After these two battles, the Japanese army found that this Chinese army was too tough and retreated decisively, especially the Japanese and puppet troops in the direction of Yancheng.

The Japanese troops in other directions also discovered a big problem. As they fought against Zhang Tianhao's army, they found that this army was more tenacious than the Chinese army on the front battlefield. They had a higher will to fight and stronger combat effectiveness.

Faced with such an army, the attacking Japanese troops really didn't know what to do for a moment. After all, they couldn't easily mobilize so many Japanese troops to encircle and suppress them.

This battle lasted for two months. As Zhang Tianhao looked at the map, his facial expression became much more exciting.

"Notify everyone. The 8th Squadron will take over the counties outside Xuzhou. The th Squadron will return to Lianyungang to annex several counties close to Xuzhou. The Huainan Squadron will directly annex all the counties in the Huai'an area. The th Squadron will also return to attack the counties close to Huai'an to create a vacuum area."

"Also, don't fight with the Japanese on some important transportation routes. It's not worth the loss. Do you understand?"

"understand!"

Next, he issued another part of the orders, directly forming a vacuum area centered on Huai'an, which became the world of Zhang Tianhao.

Although the range is not very large, it has created a sufficiently strong troop base for them.

Finally, the entire senior commander summarized the war at the Huaiyuan County Command Center.

This battle directly wiped out more than 2 Japanese and puppet troops, and they themselves suffered more than 1 casualties, which reached a ratio of :, which can be said to be a great victory.

But Zhang Tianhao was not satisfied with this.

After all, they still have too few soldiers.

"Everyone, I know what you are thinking, but given our current situation, if we fight head-on, the result will be the loss of more than 40% of our manpower. It can be said that this is our failure."

"After all, we still need to strengthen our training for this war. The most important thing is that our weapons and equipment are too poor. There is nothing we can do about it."

"Also, the biggest problem is that our frontline commanders lack methods for on-the-spot command. This is also an important reason for our losses. I hope that after you go back, you will strengthen the guidance and training of the commanders."

"I will not collect all the gains from the battlefield. All the gains of each squadron belong to them. Take them back and develop them. I don't want this to happen again next time. Do you understand?"

"Next, we need to develop the base centered on Huai'an. Develop the youth league, the elderly league, the women's league, the youth league, and all the armed forces. Mobilize all the population. In addition to production, we need to train. Don't give anyone time to rest. If you want to survive, you must train."

"This battle has laid a foundation. What happens next depends on your own vision. Do you understand?"

"The other squadrons still have to go back and develop on their own. After all, this place is so small, developing in secret is the kingly way, and staying hidden is the first rule of survival!"

With the end of this battle, the entire Jiangsu, Anzheng, and even some other places became quiet.

But in the newspapers and on the radio, countless people paid more attention to this sudden outbreak of war. After all, no one knew who this army belonged to.

Of course, only a few people could guess that this army was a card in Zhang Tianhao's hand.

Just like Lao Zhang, Lao Zhao and other senior generals of the New Fourth Army who cooperated with Zhang Tianhao this time.

Of course, Zhang Tianhao knew the result, but he didn’t care, and even just smiled bitterly.

However, he kept Zhang Tianhao's affairs very secret. This time, except for Cuilan and Mozhu, he basically did not leave the command center when commanding the operation.

No more than twenty people have seen Zhang Tianhao. (End of this chapter)
