In the final analysis, this world still depends on strength, so after Yang Yongtai left, Ningbo merchants discussed with each other for a while, and the final answer was that everyone should not discuss it. Let’s first see which army of Sun Wen and Wang Zhenyu entered Shanghai first. Poor Feng Guozhang, none of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang chaebols felt that he had hope of victory, and even wanted him and the Beiyang Army he commanded to be finished soon.

Although no one is optimistic about him, Feng Guozhang did not have the awareness of losing. He still insisted on playing the villain in this volume to the end. On March 17, Feng Guozhang personally visited Wuhu and severely reprimanded Wang Zhanyuan, Yang Shande and Lu Yongxiang, and personally served as the supreme commander, commanding the second, fourth, and thirteenth field divisions of the Beiyang Army and the first and second and second two miscellaneous divisions of the Jiangsu Army, a total of 100,000 troops were ready to attack the invading Youth Army's right-road army.

Tao Zhiyue, who had been determined to hit the head-on, was still very leisurely invited Lu Diping to eat: "Come on, Brother Lu, try it."

After saying that, Tao Zhiyue used a military spear to pry open the canned lychees in his hand very skillfully. Lu Diping took a sip without hesitation: "It's so sweet, Commander-in-Chief, what are you doing?"

Tao Zhiyue smiled and said, "I knew you didn't. This is a military canned food produced by our Anjiang Canning Factory. It is usually decorated with salted fish, fruits, etc. These things are prone to rot. If you seal it with can, the shelf life will be longer. As for Brother Lu, you are called canned lychee. This is a special supply of officers above the regiment. Ordinary soldiers don't have the chance to taste it."

Lu Diping Gulong drank the last sip, took out the flesh with his hands and ate it. He looked very relish, and then shouted vaguely: "TMD, is my 11th Division not a youth army? Why did the bastards in the Military Affairs Department even deliver summer clothes to Hukou, and they didn't see us distributing this thing?"

Tao Zhiyue smiled and said, "Brother Lu, you really blame the brothers of the Military Department. Our military canned food was distributed before crossing Xuefeng Mountain. Later, when I came to Changsha, I also reported to apply for replenishment. However, there were things in the Military Department but there was no capacity, so I couldn't transport it. Not to mention you newly formed troops, even we are out of stock. Then, Brother Lu, you just drank the last can of my life, haha."

Lu Diping widened his eyes and said awkwardly: "Oh, commander-in-chief, a gentleman does not take away what he loves, why didn't you say it earlier?"

Tao Zhiyue waved his hand and said, "It's okay, the officer in charge of contacting us has guaranteed that the capacity allocation has been much looser recently. As long as we capture Wuhu, this thing can be replenished at that time."

When Lu Diping heard this, he immediately stood up and said, "Commander-in-chief, this time we will attack Wuhu, let our 11th Division go to the 11th Division."

Tao Zhiyue was happy when he heard this: "This is fine, but this time it may not be possible to agree to you, Brother Lu, because our playing style may change. This time we will not learn from Bai Chongxi to play the tough game."

Lu Diping was a little confused: "If we don't attack, how can we take Wuhu?"

Tao Zhiyue smiled and said, "Brother Lu, you are pretending to be confused because you understand. This time we will change the way of playing, we will lead the snake out of the hole," he said.

On March 20, the 1st Division of the Youth Army's Ace finally reached the bottom line of the Beiyang Army. The 11th Division commanded by Tongling and Lu Diping took Nanling and appeared in front of Feng Guozhang with a double arrow division.

Almost at the same time, on the left side of the Youth Army, Ni Sichong gathered more than 10,000 remnants to abandon Anqing and fled to Hefei. Bai Chongxi's soldiers took down important cities such as Anqing, Tongcheng, and Luzhou without any blood. Then he rushed directly to Zhang Huaizhi's Fifth Division and Zhang Xun's Dingwu Army guarded Chaohu defense line. A decisive battle that determines China's destiny is about to begin.

On March 20, after moving forward to the Southeast Front Command of Anqing, Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi were having the most intense quarrel since their acquaintance.

"Brother Delin, this matter is quite serious. This time the reinforcements transferred by the general must be given to my left-road army, otherwise the situation will be ruined." Bai Chongxi was almost yelling.

Li Zongren shook his head and said, "Brother Jiansheng, it's not that I am an unfair commander, but that the danger faced by the right army is several times that of you. Feng Guozhang is a real 100,000 army. In comparison, your left army is now 70,000 elite, and the other side's Beiyang army on the Chaohu line will not exceed 60,000. Therefore, I will transfer the Ninth Division to Tao Zhiyue and the others to reinforce this time, and I hope you understand."

After hearing this, Bai Chongxi was almost angry and knocked the beam with his head. He slapped the table a few times and said, "Brother Delin, you are confused. What are we doing? We are fighting, trying to fight for the general and for ourselves to win the war. What are you talking about at this time? Look at this strategic situation. Now it is a two-line decisive battle. It is a ruthless and faster comparison. If we conquer Pukou at the first time, the Beiyang Army will be defeated. On the other hand, if the old thief Feng Guozhang defeated Tao Zhiyue and the others at the first time, the retreat of our left army will be in front of them. They have a navy. If there is no retreat or supply at that time, we will be the result of annihilation of the entire army."

Li Zongren shook his head and said, "It was precisely because I saw this that I decided to strengthen Tao Zhiyue's power to avoid the situation you mentioned."

"Then, the strength of both sides is equal, they play equally, and then play positional battles, pushing forward one meter and one meter."

Bai Chongxi was almost gone wild, but he still tried hard to calm himself down and said softly: "Brother Delin, if this war lasts for a long time, there will be two problems. I wonder if you have considered it. The first problem is that our Southeast Front Army is now full of five reorganized divisions, and the security forces that are equipped with combat have almost reached a scale of 140,000 people. How much does it cost to feed the general for so many people? If the war is delayed, even if we win in the end , What status will you and I have in the heart of the commander? Will you and I command an army of more than 100,000 people in the future? War is not just about killing people, but also about economic accounts. The second question is, if we cannot concentrate our superior forces and break through the Chaohu defense line in the shortest time, then once Feng Guozhang recovers and transfers the two divisions commanded by Xu Shuzheng in Xuzhou, what will happen in the end of this Southeast Battle? Brother Delin, have you considered all these?"
