Sword life

Chapter 115
At 12 o'clock on December 25th, the Xuzhou Fifth Theater Command.

Li Zongren sat behind the generous table, looking at the young man in front of him with interest: "You are Wei Dayong, the head of the Second Regiment of the Ninth Independent Brigade."

Wei Dayong stood up straight and said loudly, "It's me, sir. This is a gift from the brigade commander." After speaking, he took a knife and handed it to the adjutant beside him.

Accidentally, the knife slipped out of the scabbard and cut off a strand of tassel. Wei Dayong picked it up with his head down, tied it up and handed it to the adjutant.

Li Zongren took the knife, drew it lightly, a cold light appeared, looked at it, and immediately said with a smile: "I mean, this is Ushishima Sadao's saber?"

Wei Dayong nodded. Anyway, the brigade commander said yes, so it must be.

Li Zongren didn't think too much, put away his saber, and said, "General Zhang has a heart, what else did he say?"

"Our brigade commander said that the [-] soldiers of the Independent Ninth Brigade are willing to fight devils with Chief Li!"

"Oh, there are 2 people in the Ninth Independent Brigade?" Li Zongren twitched his eyebrows and stared at Wei Dayong with piercing eyes.

Wei Dayong showed a faint smile on his face, making himself look more like a naive young man: "Yes, there are six regiments in the Ninth Independent Brigade, and each regiment is a super-large regiment with 25 companies of the Sixth Battalion, [-], I think A little less."

Li Zongren has fought for decades, he is proficient in military affairs, and understands the ways of the world, and he didn't see through Wei Dayong's disguise, so he nodded and said: "Well, the news I heard is that Brigadier Zhang was surrounded at the fortress of Wulong Mountain. 10,000+ elite little devils bombarded indiscriminately, I am afraid it will be difficult to escape."

A trace of gloom flashed across Wei Dayong's face, and then he smiled and said: "Mr. Li, our brigade commander said he could come, so he will definitely come. No matter how many little devils there are, we can't stop our brigade commander."

"Well said!" Li Zongren laughed and asked the adjutant to take Wei Dayong away. When he left, he turned his head and looked behind him: "Jiansheng, tell me, how many truths does this Captain Wei have?"

Bai Chongxi walked out from behind Li Zongren, and said with a smile: "Brother Delin, you can see clearly yourself, but you came to ask me."

After laughing, Bai Chongxi said: "Most of them are not telling the truth. First, it is impossible for General Zhang to have [-] troops."

"Oh, how do you see it?"

"If General Zhang had an army of [-], the Battle of Nanjing would not be over in a dozen days. It would take at least a month."

"It makes sense!" Li Zongren nodded, expressing his agreement. According to the information received from the embassies of various countries, Zhang Gang refused to defend the Wulong Mountain Fortress, and fought with vigor and vigor. The 10,000+ elites of the little devils were not able to advance an inch.

"The second sentence is the truth. General Zhang had a chance to break through from Nanjing. Why didn't he leave? I can't understand his thoughts, but it's true that he was able to break through."

Li Zongren laughed, opened the big map on the wall, and pointed to Nanjing: "Jiansheng, take a look at Nanjing, what do you think?"

Bai Chongxi looked at it for a while, and saw it, with a look of surprise on his face: "Brother Delin, is there really such a person?"

Li Zongren laughed loudly: "With my own strength, I can contain the seven divisions of the little devil. I couldn't believe it at first, but after seeing Wei Dayong, I believed it."

"Wei Dayong, I think this guy is a bit stingy, but I don't see anything else."

"There is such a brigade commander as there is. You see, just now he broke the fringe of the knife, but he didn't show any fear. He easily connected the fringe of the knife and handed it to me. This man has the guts , too big!"

Bai Chongxi nodded: "Well, when you say that, I also remembered, this guy is a bit courageous."

"With a commander like this, General Zhang's temper can be almost guessed. He must be a daring master. Maybe he may not have such a high strategic vision, but he must have the guts to hold back the little devil. "

Only then did Bai Chongxi feel relieved, and laughed loudly: "Unfortunately, if it could be delayed for a month, I would dare to transfer all the troops on Jinpu Road to the north, and clean up the North China Front Army. It is only a few days, and this force is still difficult." manage!"

Li Zongren smiled. The North China Front Army only had four divisions plus three independent brigades, with hundreds of thousands of people, about the same number as the Xinkou battle.

As the main force, the Fifth and Sixth Divisions had just returned from struggling in the direction of Taiyuan. Most of their heavy equipment had been lost, and their personnel were exhausted.

In his own hands, Han Fuqu's strength is no less than that of Yan Laoxi, Tang Enbo and Wei Lihuang are not much different, and the stalemate on the northern line is not difficult. The Gui Army, the Northeast Army, and the Northwest Army add up to 10,000+ people, and the seven divisions of the little devil There is no chance of fighting in groups.

At present, the Japanese army uses fast to fight slow, and uses three pot covers to cover four pots. If the pot cover is slow, flaws will be exposed!As long as we hold back the main force of the little devils, the lack of troops of the little devils will be exposed, and the situation of the war of resistance will be reversed.

At this moment, the guards hurried in: "Report, Han Fuqu abandoned Jinan!"

Li Zongren was shocked, his hands shook, the tea broke on the desk, and a good handwriting was soaked badly.

"Confused, Han Fuqu missed me!"

On December 12, Han Fuqu gave up the natural danger of the Yellow River, fled without a fight, and surrendered Jinan.

On December 12, a wing of the forwards of the Fifth Division arrived in Jinan and began to bombard Jinan.

At this time, there were still 12 people from Sun Tongxuan's 2th Army in Jinan City, and it was not a problem to resist the 3000-strong coalition. However, Sun Tongxuan only resisted for a long time. In the early morning of December 12, he withdrew from Jinan and handed over the capital of Shandong.

After receiving the supplies from Jinan, the Fifth Division's arrogance soared, and the forward wing left only one team and continued to move towards Teng County.

On the same day, the Central China Front Army drew out three A-type divisions and three quasi-A-type divisions. After replenishing soldiers and equipment, they began to advance towards Jinpu Road, leaving only one [-]th division to defend the Wulong Mountain Fortress.

Li Zongren had to transfer Xuezhong's Northeast Army to the south to guard against the little devil's attack. In the direction of Teng County, he was suddenly stretched.

On December 12, the Tenth Division of the Japanese Army went south along Jinpu Road and captured Feicheng and Tai'an. The Benchuan Brigade took the east road and headed towards Mengyin.

On December 12, Zhao Gang led the First Regiment of the Ninth Independent Brigade and the Independent Regiment to the outskirts of Jinan, where they joined Wei Dayong's Second Regiment.
