Chapter 393: Arrive in Tongcheng
The 318th Army was also arranged by Xu Yuanquan in Hefei City at this moment. Wang Mingyu made an exception and asked the soldiers to drink some wine. However, Wang Mingyu and others followed Xu Yuanquan to the more famous restaurant in Hefei City. This restaurant is famous for Huainan cuisine. I heard that Zhu Yuanzhang had also eaten here. Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang had eaten it at that time and had no food. Who knows where Zhu Yuanzhang had eaten it? Anyway, it was just a celebrity effect.
The banquet began. As the commander-in-chief of the 26th Army, Xu Yuanquan was a lieutenant general with Wang Mingyu, and his status was still slightly higher, when it comes to backstage and influence, Xu Yuanquan asked himself that he could not catch up with Wang Mingyu, but Xu Yuanquan was still optimistic about the combat effectiveness of his army. He believed that the gap between the 26th Army and the Independent 318th Army was only a little bit.
Xu Yuanquan picked up the wine glass and said: Today, the people of our 26th Army welcome the friendly Independent 318th Army. I will prepare a little wine this time and I hope you can forgive me.
Wang Mingyu said politely: What is Mr. Xu saying? Mr. Xu has tried his best to prepare such a sumptuous banquet for us. It really makes me panic. Then I will use flowers to offer Buddha to thank all the brothers of the army with Mr. Xu's wine. Wang Mingyu and Xu Yuanquan are of the same level. Although the army is half a square larger than them, the same level is Wang Mingyu, and his blind relationship between superiors and subordinates seems a little distant.
Although everyone knows that Wang Mingyu is Chairman Jiang’s son-in-law, who will say nothing is fine and have a little brain knows that it is not that Wang Mingyu wants to be Chairman Jiang’s son-in-law, but that Chairman Jiang is a way to win over Wang Mingyu and put Wang Mingyu on the mark of Chairman Jiang. However, in the eyes of outsiders, if a person who can make Chairman Jiang so troubled, his future will naturally be bright.
Xu Yuanquan smiled and said: Don't be polite, come and go. We are all serving the party and the country and are all taking killing Japanese pirates as our mission. It is naturally not an exaggeration to call you brother. I just asked to shout Wang Juncheng as a brother. Brother Wang won't mind.
I have to say that Xu Yuanquan is very good at being a human being. In this way, he began to get closer to Wang Mingyu. Wang Mingyu nodded secretly. These people may not be able to fight, but they are all human beings. Wang Mingyu also laughed and said: You think of Wang, how dare you disobey Wang? Then I will call Brother Xu.
The whole banquet was in such an atmosphere. After the banquet ended, Wang Mingyu was taken to his residence by Xu Yuanquan. Xu Yuanquan really wanted to discuss with Wang Mingyu at this moment. After all, Wang Mingyu was still very powerful in fighting, and he also found a way out for himself in advance. Moreover, although Wang Mingyu's identity is sensitive, it is also very useful.
In Xu Yuanquan's study, there was a pair of Banqiao hanging in the middle. It seemed that Xu Yuanquan admired Banqiao's concept very much. Xu Yuanquan whispered: Brother Wang, it seems that the party and the country have failed again in the battle of Xuzhou. The chairman wanted to fight the Japanese army in Xuzhou, but the strength of the two sides was still very different.
Wang Mingyu said: Brother Xu, based on my experience, the Japanese will definitely point directly to Wuhan. Hefei City will inevitably become one of the Japanese goals. I think Brother Xu can build fortifications and strengthen the city defense. At that time, he will give the Japanese a powerful counterattack. In this way, he can also show his face in front of Chairman Jiang.
Xu Yuanquan was shocked. In his vision, the Japanese army would not have made any major moves in a short period of time, but the Wang brother's analysis was exactly what he thought. Xu Yuanquan also understood it as a kind reminder from his master. If Xu Yuanquan knew Wang Mingyu's judgment before, he would probably have hit him and died in his study.
Xu Yuanquan nodded with a smile, disagreed in his heart, but since they said it was his own judgment, he had to give Wang Mingyu enough face Xu Yuanquan did not show any disdain or any dissatisfaction. Instead, he said something like he must have certain, even Wang Mingyu felt that he had accepted his suggestions at this moment, and he felt very comfortable in his heart. After all, they persisted in Hefei for a while, the loss of the Japanese army would be one point, and the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army would be one point lower.
Xu Yuanquan then expressed some information about wanting to get closer to Wang Mingyu. Wang Mingyu happily accepted it. Anyway, Hefei City was the last guard in front of their Tongcheng at this time. At this time, people came to surrender consciously, so how could they not accept it? Unfortunately, Xu Yuanquan just wanted to find a backstage for himself. As for the war, Xu Yuanquan naturally went according to his own ideas.
Both sides achieved their goals. After Wang Mingyu's troops rested in Hefei for five hours, they set out overnight to go to Tongcheng. Xu Yuanquan persuaded Wang Mingyu and felt that staying in Hefei was too disturbing to the people. So they walked towards Tongcheng in the farewell of everyone. Xu Yuanquan looked at Wang Mingyu's departure back and exhaled a long breath. If he really neglected this powerful man with a deep background at the beginning, he really didn't know how to live in the future.
Xu Yuanquan thought he was already on the same boat as Wang Mingyu. Isn’t Wang Mingyu’s meaning expressed to welcome him to surrender? Xu Yuanquan is a little funny. The outside world has yelled the young general to the sky. It’s not that under his control that General Wang Mingyu is also a lord fighting for power and profit. He just leaned up a little and he accepted it happily.
If Wang Mingyu knew that Xu Yuanquan's evaluation of him was like this, he could only smile bitterly and shake his head. Wang Mingyu was familiar with history. At least one month later, Hefei City may be hit by a strong attack by the Japanese army. As a compatriot, Wang Mingyu naturally needs to remind Xu Yuanquan. In this way, the Japanese army will be unlucky at that time. It's a pity that these people who lead troops to fight can only live in this kind of intrigue of rights every day. This has to be said to be a kind of sadness.
So now Wang Mingyu wants to form a temporary alliance with him and there is no possibility of branching, because if Hefei City has such a defensive situation, how can it be able to welcome the Japanese steel torrent Xu Yuanquan confused Wang Mingyu? Naturally, he has great ability, but facing the Japanese guns and cannons, these things are of no use at all.
Of course, Xu Yuanquan believed that such a trump card could only be effective at the last and most critical moment. So Xu Yuanquan prepared to act as if this had not happened before and live his life as usual. The deputy commander-in-chief under him who wanted to make some friendship with Wang Mingyu was very depressed. After all, he discovered this, and he ended up making wedding dresses for his chief executive. How could such a thing not make him feel depressed?
After leaving Hefei City, it was basically absolutely safe. Wang Mingyu slowed down the troops and adjusted their progress so that he would not be exhausted and panting after arriving in Tongcheng. According to Wang Mingyu's estimate, the emergency march that would almost arrive in Tongcheng the morning after tomorrow was not a big problem for the 318th Army. Physical fitness has always been the basic training that Wang Mingyu emphasized.
The scouts in front were moving towards Tongcheng quickly. Their goal is to convey the upcoming news of the 318th Army. The scouts are of great effect along the way. They sent the news in advance several times and changed the route so that the 318th Army did not meet the Japanese army. Otherwise, the Japanese army had already discovered the shadow of the 318th Army. What kind of scene will be like then?
Now it is estimated that the Japanese army still thought it was a certain army in the battle sequence that retreated from the Xuzhou battlefield. They could avoid the entanglement of the Japanese army, which made the Japanese army confirm their ideas. The Japanese army is currently anxious to end the battle in Xuzhou, so they did not divide their troops to pursue this group of people. After all, there are too many defeated troops now, and this is just a large defeated army.
Now the entire Xuzhou is basically disintegrating, and Xuzhou has fallen into the hands of the Japanese army. They basically control the railway transportation lines in the entire central and eastern regions, and are fully prepared for their next battle in Wuhan. Of course, some armies are in a deadlock at this moment and have to engage in a crazy showdown with the Japanese army. The troops that can escape have basically begun to gather in the direction of Wuhan.
The Independence 318th Army finally arrived in Tongcheng that morning. At this moment, there were many people in Tongcheng. After all, the Japanese army did not attack them at this time, and they did not have much sense of crisis. The main reason is that there are a large number of troops stationed in front of Tongcheng. They live here with peace of mind. With the propaganda of some people, Tongcheng is basically in a wait-and-see situation. The people here are also over-believing.
Wang Mingchuan was standing at the north city gate at this moment, watching the mighty 318 army coming towards his direction, and was very happy. At this moment, they no longer had the embarrassment of being short of troops in Baoshan. Now they have the courage to defeat everything. Wang Mingchuan is already excited to start a war with the Japanese army.
Wang Mingyu looked at the fortifications that were still being reinforced in front and the trenches with frontier positions, and also smiled in his heart. It seemed that it would be impossible for a Japanese to break through Tongcheng's defense without paying the price of bleeding. He saw the whole leopard. It is estimated that not only the north city gate, but also the south city gate and the east city gate should be similar to here at this moment.
Wang Mingyu looked up below. The only thing he was thinking now was that if he was the commander of the Japanese army, how should he deal with the current situation when they looked at these? In fact, what they fought in war was the quality and skills of the military personnel. If both of them were higher than the enemy, then what they had to do next was how to minimize their losses.
: Although the flowers have not reached 160, they are only a little bit. I will send them to everyone to see. I hope everyone will continue to support me
