Chapter 187: Race to Taierzhuang (Monthly tickets were updated)

Just as Li Zongren finished speaking, a chief of communications staff walked over with a telegram, stood at the same time and saluted Li Bai and the others: "Report, Lieutenant General Qiao Anbang, the Independent Tiger Army of the National ** Army, sent an urgent telegram."

"Hmm? Independent Tiger Ben Army?" Li Zongren was a little surprised.

Bai Chongxi thought for a while and said, "It seems that Major General Qiao Anbang has been promoted again in the great victory in Huainan."

"Oh" Li Zongren nodded relievedly, and then asked the communications consultant: "What does Qiao Anbang say in the telegram?"

"Qiao Anbang said in the call that he had led 30,000 elite troops from his headquarters to cross the Huai River north and marched north along the Xubeng Highway. He was about to arrive in Xuzhou soon." The communications consultant replied with a telegram.

"Degong Taierzhuang is worry-free, Qiao Anbang is so clear about justice, he is really a model for the party and the country's soldiers." Before Li Zongren could speak, the little Zhuge Bai Chongxi on the side flashed in his eyes and praised him.

"Well" Li Zongren nodded in surprise and said, "Jiansheng is right. Qiao Anbang's troops are fully mechanized troops, well-equipped and strong combat power. I thought they had just experienced the Huainan War and should continue to rest. Unexpectedly, Qiao Anbang led his troops north without stopping. This person is of great use."

"Dong De is right. With the 30,000 elite troops of the Hu Ben Army, the determination to completely wipe out the 10th Japanese Division must be at least three-tenths. As long as the 10th Japanese Division is annihilated, Taierzhuang will win the battle, Xuzhou will be worry-free, and Central Plains will be worry-free," Bai Chongxi said excitedly.

Li Zongren nodded in agreement and then asked again: "Where is Qiao Anbang's troops now?"

The communications consultant immediately replied: "Just passed Suxian."

Li Zongren was overjoyed when he heard this. With less than 80 kilometers from Suxian to Xuzhou, he could arrive in at most three hours with the mechanization of the Hu Ben Army. He turned his head and said to Bai Chongxi: "Jiansheng, how about you and I go out of the city to welcome the Hu Ben Army together?"

"Dear De is wise." Bai Chongxi was so smart. Of course, he knew Li Zongren's intentions and showed favors and tried to win over them. In fact, Qiao Anbang's troops were not affiliated with the Fifth War Zone. He spontaneously participated in the Battle of Huainan and led his troops north to Xuzhou despite the fatigue of the troops. It was also appropriate for Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi to go out of the city to welcome him.

…………………………

On the Turkish Highway from Suxian to Xuzhou, 30,000 troops of the Hu Ben Army were winding north. A large convoy formed a majestic steel dragon. The armored regiment of the Armored Brigade was the front of the convoy.

Qiao Anbang was sitting on a half-track armored vehicle, holding a detailed map of Xuzhou area in both hands, frowned and pondering at the map. If he remembered correctly, the battle of Xuzhou should have entered the most critical moment at this time, that is, the Battle of Taierzhuang.

Through Yali's deciphering the telegrams between the Japanese North China Front Army and the 10th Division, the Fifth Division and other departments, Qiao Anbang already knows a little about the current situation of the battle in Xuzhou. Now the Japanese army has added one division and two mixed brigades, and its strength has increased greatly. Especially the 14th Division, it is one of the 17 permanent divisions of the Japanese army. The entire division is well-trained, well-equipped, and strong combat power. The division commander Kento Doihara is the leader among the active Japanese generals.

Kenji Doihara is a famous spy leader in contemporary Japan. He is cunning, cunning, scheming, and proficient in Chinese. He is one of the few Chinese masters among Japanese generals. He has been engaged in espionage activities in China for many years, establishing Manchukuo and planning North China Autonomy. Such an opponent is undoubtedly a difficult opponent.

Qiao Anbang knew that with the current trend of the Battle of Xuzhou, if he did not lead his troops to participate, the Taierzhuang Battle would probably end with the defeat of the National Army, and the Battle of Xuzhou would eventually fail. History is fair. Although Qiao Anbang changed the tragedy of the Nanjing Massacre and even annihilated 100,000 Japanese troops in Huainan, the deployment of the Japanese army was also different in the original history. The troops increased from two divisions to nearly four or five. Such troops were obviously not something that a group of miscellaneous troops in the Fifth War Zone could compete with.

It is necessary to know what the troops under the Fifth War Zone were at that time were the Central Army, the Sichuan Army, the Northeast Army, the Northwest Army, the Hunan Army, the Guangdong Army and the Guangxi Army. There were many factions, and the chaos was the first of all war zones in the country.

Qiao Anbang was in Chen Si, and suddenly the armored vehicle stopped moving forward. Liang Jiahan, who was sitting next to Qiao Anbang, immediately opened the car door. A communication soldier hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Military seat, General Li Zongren, commander of the Fifth War Zone, called."

"Hmm? What do you mean?" Qiao Anbang asked with his head raised.

"General Li called and said that he had led the members of the Fifth War Zone Chief Office to go out of the city to welcome our department, probably not far ahead." As soon as the communications soldier finished speaking, the walkie-talkie in Qiao Anbang's car rang: "Military seat, General Li Zongren and other important personnel from the Fifth War Zone come to greet us."

"I understand." Qiao Anbang closed the map in his hand and said to Liang Jiahan: "Adminton Liang, accompany me to meet the famous General Li Zongren."

Liang Jiahan gave Qiao Anbang a coquettish look, and immediately turned around and jumped off the armored vehicle. Since he was stolen by Qiao Anbang last time, Liang Jiahan has not paid much attention to Qiao Anbang.

Seeing that the beauty Liang ignored her, Qiao Anbang smiled bitterly, jumped out of the car, and then walked forward with great strides. Liang Jiahan grimaced at Qiao Anbang's back indignation, and then followed Qianzhang.

Qiao Anbang walked to the front of the convoy surrounded by Liang Jiahan and others. From a distance, he saw several military jeeps parked in front of him. There were many generals in front of the jeep. The leader was a majestic figure, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, wearing a brand new general uniform, and standing straight in front of everyone. On the left side behind him, a man stood handsome and handsome, with a Confucian general style.

Qiao Anbang boldly speculated that these two people should be the famous new Guangxi leader "Li Bai". He strides forward and stood at the forefront and salutes: "Sir Li, Chief Bai is good." The necessary etiquette should still be obtained.

Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi smiled and saluted, stepped forward one after another, reached out and shook hands with Qiao Anbang and said with a smile: "General Qiao has worked hard all the way."

"I heard that Xuzhou is in an emergency, so I specially led 30,000 soldiers from northern Anhui to help me. Please assign tasks to us," Qiao Anbang said righteously.

Li Zongren did not say those polite words that were useless, but nodded repeatedly: "To be honest with General Qiao, Xuzhou is really in a tight position now. It is a timely help to your subordinates."

Bai Chongxi, who was standing aside, secretly surprised Qiao Anbang was so young, said: "The situation is urgent. Please ask General Qiao to lead his officers and soldiers to advance to Taierzhuang immediately and rush to support Sun Lianzhong's group."

"I'm asking the two officials to rest assured. Bei Zhi will definitely arrive at Taierzhuang this morning to compete with the Japanese invaders." Qiao Anbang immediately stepped forward and said, "Then Bei Zhi will leave first."

"Thank you for your hard work, General Qiao, after this battle, Jiansheng and I are welcoming the general," said Li Zongren.

"Why do you have to contribute to the country and to the nation? Say goodbye." Qiao Anbang saluted the two of them again, and then turned around and left.

Soon, 30,000 soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army set off again. Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi and others quickly made way. Looking at the tanks and armored vehicles that were rumbling, Bai Chongxi and Li Zongren both looked stern. Li Zongren said with a sharp look: "Jiansheng, how do you look at Qiao Anbang?"

"The pillars of the country and the talent of the nation" Bai Chongxi said slowly.

"Where is his troops?" Li Zongren asked again.

"Exquisite equipment and elite troops" Bai Chongxi said in his heart that he hoped that he could command such a mechanized force at any time.

"Yes, if the Party and the country can have more pillars and more elite troops and more of such elite troops, why should we be afraid of just Japanese pirates in the East?" Li Zongren said with sighing.

Fuji County, the headquarters of the 10th Japanese Division.

As the troops continued to advance, in order to facilitate command of the troops, Risuke Isotani moved his division headquarters forward to the Fuji Prefecture that had just been captured not long ago.

In the headquarters, the division commander Risuke Isotani and Chief of Staff Colonel Tibujiao discussed military information around the map. Chief of Staff Colonel Tibujiao pointed to the map with a wooden command pole and said: "General, according to information, the second army of Sun Lianzhong, the Chinese Army, stationed in Taierzhuang."

"Second Army?" Aiguchi Isotani was slightly stunned when he heard this and said, "They are Feng Yuxiang's troops?"

"Yes, General, Sun himself was originally one of the thirteen Taibaos under Feng Yuxiang's army in the Northwest China Army. Most of the officers and soldiers in the army were elite in the Northwest China Army. They were good at using big swords and were extremely good at hand-to-hand combat." Ti Bujiagui nodded and replied.

"Order, Seya Kishi's brigade must capture Taierzhuang within two days and wipe out all the troops of Sun Lianzhong as the main force of the division to attack Xuzhou and clear obstacles." Isoya Risuke ordered with a cold expression.

"Hai" Tibujiagui quickly lowered his head and responded, and immediately took the order and left.

……………………

On the Taierzhuang front line, the 33rd Brigade of the 10th Division of the Japanese Army, under the command of the brigade Kei Seyaya, launched a fierce attack on the troops of Chifeng Castle, the 31st Division of the Second Army, which was defending the Taierzhuang position, under the command of the brigade Kei Seyaya as cover.

The Seya Brigade was a reinforced mixed brigade. In addition to the two infantry corps and artillery units in the headquarters, the Japanese North China Front Army also equipped him with two light chariot brigades, a heavy machine gun brigade, a field artillery brigade, and a heavy artillery brigade (with one brigade) and hundreds of aircraft from the Second Flight Regiment of the Front's Direct Aviation Corps.

Its combat power is extremely powerful, especially the ground-air firepower is far stronger than a conventional division. Under the fierce artillery fire of the Japanese army, the soldiers of the 31st Division fought bloody battles and persevered. They launched an unprecedented hand-to-hand battle with the Japanese army with their iron-blooded belief of being one inch of mountains and rivers and one inch of blood. The outer positions of Taierzhuang changed hands repeatedly, and the fierce battle was extremely fierce, with both sides suffering heavy casualties.
