Chapter 162
At the end of class division, all students of the First Corps have a more targeted learning direction.

Most of the 30 members of the military teaching team were small and fine, and most of them were taught some strategic things. The battlefield cases listed were separated from a local battle in a small town, and more focused on how to layout a regional battle, etc. , and those school committee members who have long been famous and are still in Chongqing will come to teach the students of the military teaching team from time to time.

The enlisted corps is specific to how to lead a battalion, how to lead a regiment and how to fight a local battle, and the advanced class is in between.

Various departments pay more attention to the cultivation of professional ability. For example, Fang Zhenxing, who is a little talented in mathematics, and another student, the compilation department of the branch school often invites professors from the Central University that has moved to Chongqing to teach them. small stove.

Compared with the general learning method of the four teams before, the training direction after class division is obviously more precise, and the students of the first team have also become busier than before.

Nowadays, Li Chong has to get up early every day to spare time to practice boxing and kicking before morning classes.

In the spare time between the busy schedules, everyone in the military academy was also talking about the situation of the Xuzhou battle, especially the military teaching team. They also made a sand table map of the Xuzhou battlefield, combined with the telegrams from the front line, and deduced it on it every day.

If the Battle of Songhu and the Battle of Nanjing were bloody battles that the Nationalist Army knew they could not do, with considerations such as winning the withdrawal of the central and important industrial facilities to the rear, then the Battle of Xuzhou was the Nationalist Party's victory in Chongqing. It is a big battle to stand firm and the rear area is basically in place.

This battle does not take into account other factors. From the lower-ranking officers and soldiers to the central executives, from the National Party to the Red Party, they all uphold the same belief, that is, "Save the country! Revenge!"

At this moment of national calamity, the chairman and Li Delin, the commander-in-chief of the fifth war zone, who have always looked down upon each other, let go of their dislike. On the Xuzhou battlefield, he was under the command of Li Delin.

Not only the soldiers of the two parties, but all the people who care about the future and destiny of this country are looking at whether the officers and soldiers of the Nationalist Party on the frontal battlefield can deal a heavy blow to the arrogant and cruel Japanese army in this Sino-Japanese confrontation with the purest goal since the War of Resistance , Can the two parties work together to resist foreign humiliation?
And at least half of the country's anticipation is on Li Delin, the commander of the fifth war zone, and this is because the series of wars surrounding Xuzhou at this moment are all happening in the fifth war zone that he is united in.

The battle is in full swing, but after staying up all night for several nights, Li Delin, the supreme commander of the fifth war zone, is nervous but not lacking in confidence. He is confident that he can command the officers and soldiers in the war zone to take a nap when he is tired. Arrogant Japanese soldiers who have already walked and sang.

In addition to his firm belief that arrogant soldiers will be defeated, Li Delin is more confident in his command ability.At the beginning of the tragic Songhu battlefield in the middle and late stages, I was the only one who commanded [-] Guangxi descendants, and at the same time brought the only remaining navy and air force in the second theater, and brought a trinity counterattack to the Japanese army by sea, land and air.

In short, the Japanese are fierce, but he is also not afraid of sacrifice!
For the Japanese soldiers who had occupied the capital of China at this moment, the glory brought by the capture of Nanjing made the flames of arrogance in their hearts burn everything, and the desire in their hearts was inflated endlessly.The moment they stepped on the gate of Nanjing with sabers in hand, these Japanese officers felt that this fertile continent had been trampled under their feet.

In addition, after successively capturing Shanghai and Nanjing, the Yangtze River at this moment is like a naked virgin to the wandering Japanese naval ships, with little resistance at all. The Naval Staff Headquarters is already planning to use ships to go straight to Wuhan along the Yangtze River battle plan.

After hearing about it, the Japanese Army Department was naturally not happy.In this eastern land, why should the army play the leading role, how can the supporting role declare the army to take the lead?If the navy is in front and the army is running behind the propellers, wouldn't it be a joke?

So the land Japanese troops in North China and Songhu set their sights on the important hub at the intersection of the Jinpu Line and the Longhai Line: Xuzhou!
This is how the Xuzhou battle just started!
The No.13 Division of the Japanese Army, which had just captured Nanjing and participated in the brutal massacre, was led by Dizhou to go north along Nanjing. The Tenth Division went south after wreaking havoc on a large area of ​​Hebei. The Fifth Division of Itagaki approached Xuzhou through the Taiwei Highway.

On the map, the three-pronged attack is directed at Xuzhou City.

But is that enough?
not at all.

Because within the Japanese army, the army and navy have already gained a lot on the land of China, and then there is another big move. At this time, the air force is not willing to be lonely.In the two extraordinary battles in Songhu and Nanjing, the Air Force has always appeared as an undisputed supporting role.

Not only did the bulk of the post-war credit not belong to him, but he was also shot down by China's "Wanguo brand" aircraft in the air battles in Shanghai and Nanjing.Among other things, at the beginning of the Songhu Battle, on August 8th, a shameful battle loss ratio was enough to make the Japanese Air Force ridiculed by its counterparts around the world.

On this day, the advanced Japanese military aircraft, known as the number one in Asia, was humiliated "6:0" by the three air squadrons of China's Fourth Air Force Battalion who rushed from Zhoujiakou and drove the "Wanguo" brand. Records, although the Chinese Air Force was disabled with the wartime development of Songhu and Nanjing, it has always become a stain that cannot be washed away.

This made the Japanese Air Force suffocate all the time. They always wanted to explain to the base camp through shocking bombing: the Air Force is not a supporting role in the gluttonous feast planned by the mainland!

Therefore, when the two sides fought inextricably in the battle of Xuzhou, and there were victories and losses in some battles, the Japanese Air Force set its sights on the companion capital in the southwestern region of China.

For the Nationalist government that has already retreated into Chongqing, the Japanese army, land and sea armies are somewhat beyond reach, but for the air force with wings, what can stop it is nothing more than a layer of fog that pervades the sky over Chongqing all the year round. Although it is pervasive all year round, there are times when gaps are exposed.

Speaking of this, I have to admire Mr. Jiang Baili, the acting principal who is dying at the moment and a master of strategy in the Republic of China. His plan to move the capital to Chongqing at the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War was definitely an idea that would affect the fate of China.Moving the capital to Chongqing not only blocked the Japanese army and navy with high mountains and long rivers, but also left enough strategic depth for the suffering Chinese nation.

And from the geographical point of view, Chongqing is located at the confluence of the Yangtze River and the Jialing River, and the city is surrounded by mountains, and the natural characteristics of abundant water that is not easy to disperse make the city always condense sufficient water vapor, and then rise into the sky over the entire Yuzhou Peninsula. clouds.

Especially during the several months of winter, the dense fog will cover the mountain city tightly, like a huge protective cover.The city will not reveal itself until spring.

The eye-catching Japanese Air Force has been waiting for an opportunity, waiting for the opportunity for the spring fog to disperse.

They waited.

In mid-February, the dense fog at the end of winter over the mountain city gradually dissipated. The people crowded in the mountain city to survive did not know that with the thick fog dissipating, the protracted bombing nightmare of the capital was about to come!
