"How is it? Have you contacted the 89th Division?" Tang Enbo, who was paced back and forth in the 20th Legion of Jinan, stopped anxiously and asked the combat staff behind him.

"Reporting to the commander, the 89th Division called and said that the six infantry regiments under its jurisdiction could no longer be contacted by the division headquarters, and there was no news about the liaison soldiers sent out!" A lieutenant colonel staff officer also answered anxiously.

"Damn it, this is really evil, where are the other masters?" Tang Enbo asked in anger.

"The 85th Army's divisions were stationed in Yanzhou, Zoucheng, Qufu, Wenshang, Ningyang and other county towns, all had no contact with the division headquarters or interrupted!" The combat staff replied with a bitter face.

"What about the 52nd Army?" Tang Enbo asked again.

"The 52nd Army has not yet reported any abnormal situation. However, Zheng Dongguo, the commander of the 2nd Division, sent a message to report that the elite reorganized First Division of the Qiao Family Army, who confronted them, has entered a wartime alert state since last night and may have a fierce battle with the 2nd Division at any time!" The combat staff finished speaking.

A communication lieutenant from the telecommunications room rushed out anxiously and reported to Tang Enbo without even saluting: "Chief, Liang Kai, commander of the 195th Division of the 52nd Army, sent an urgent telegram. The reconnaissance unit directly under the 195th Division suddenly encountered a group of unknown bandit armed forces twenty miles south of Zibo. The two sides exchanged fire for more than half of the troops of the 195th Division lost more than half of the troops. This group of unknown bandit armed forces finally escaped with great ease!"

"What? What is the direct unit of the 195th Division?" Tang Enbo asked with a dark face.

"Battle level!" replied the communication lieutenant.

"Damn it, a battalion-level reconnaissance unit can't even fight a group of bandits? It still loses more than half?" Tang Enbo was furious and roared in anger: "Shit the order Liu Kai, kill this stupid pig battalion commander immediately!"

"Chief, according to the report of the 195th Division, this unknown bandit armed force is extremely unusual because they are all equipped with automatic weapons, have strong firepower and are well-trained. It is completely different from the bandits in central Shandong. Commander Liu speculated that this may not be a real bandit!" The communication lieutenant said tremblingly.

"Hmm? Not a real bandit? Could it be?" Tang Enbo's face sternly, and then suddenly realized, and slapped the table and roared: "Damn it, no wonder that an abnormality suddenly appeared in the 85th Army's defense zone. What a bullshit bandit, it must be the elite special forces under Qiao Anbang. He had led this special forces to airborne the Japanese mainland before, causing the entire Japan to be turned upside down. Now he is going to use this trick to deal with us again!"

At this moment, Guan Linzheng, the commander of the 52nd Army who had already left last night, and Wang Zhonglian, the commander of the 85th Army, returned. As soon as he entered the headquarters, he reported to Tang Enbo: "Captain Tang, something is wrong!"

"So what's wrong?" Tang Enbo's face was full of confusion, but his heart sank.

"Brother Jie Ren, let's talk about it!" Although he is also a graduate of the first class of Huangpu, Guan Linzheng, born in 1905, is four years younger than Wang Zhonglian, born in 1901, so he said calmly.

It was important, and Wang Zhonglian was not polite, and immediately spoke to Tang Enbo: "Captain Tang, I just received the latest news from the divisions of our army. The connection between the regiments under their jurisdiction has been completely cut off. The reason is that Qiao Anbang's armored division relies on their advantage of fast mobility in battalions and companies. He blocked and intercepted our logistics supply and transportation troops everywhere, and at the same time, he also crazily destroyed the telephone lines between the regiments and cut off the contact between the grassroots main combat troops."

"What is Qiao Anbang doing?" Tang Enbo took a breath and said in surprise.

"Commander, we have no way to know what Qiao Anbang's purpose is, but one thing we must understand is that if things are allowed to continue to develop like this, the grassroots troops of our main divisions will collapse because they cannot get supplies!" Wang Zhonglian said this with a bitter face, and suddenly his face turned cold and said ruthlessly to Tang Enbo: "So, as I say, we must counterattack immediately. If it happens later, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

"Counter? Do you mean to declare war on the Qiao family army?" Tang Enbo did not hesitate and shook his head and said, "Not even saying that the commission has repeatedly ordered us not to take the initiative to provoke the war, nor to fire the first shot! With the reputation of Qiao Anbang and his Qiao family army among the people of the country, if we start fire first, in order to block the long and endless verbal words of the people in the world, we may have to become scapegoats and take the blame when dealing with public opinion! Moreover, the Qiao family army is well-equipped and starts a rash war. It is unknown whether it can win, so we still cannot act rashly!"

Wang Zhonglian and Guan Linzheng thought it was true. Not to mention the outcome of the battle against the Qiao family army, just provoking the civil war to destroy the national united front against Japan was enough for them to drink, because they knew that although their commissioners were wise and powerful, they would definitely be willing to abandon the car and protect the general at the critical moment, and let their subordinates take the blame. Jiang Guangtou has done a lot of things.

"However, Chief Tang, we can't just sit there and wait for death, right? If the situation continues, not tens of thousands of people in our army will starve to death just by starving. After all, the soldiers have to eat, so we can't steal the people's people, right?" Wang Zhonglian frowned and said bitterly.

"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious. I'll report this to the committee and ask him to make an idea what we should do!" Tang Enbo said with a frown.

…………………………

Chongqing, the official residence of Zeng Jiayan leader.

In Chairman Jiang's office, someone saw the urgent call from his confidant general Tang Enbo, and couldn't help but get furious and furious. He slapped the table and cursed: "Mom Xipi, what are Qiao Anbang, who is making skin, what are he going to do? He's just getting more and more frustrated!"

"Call back to Tang Enbo, and immediately encircle the 11th Army troops entering the 85th Army Defense Zone without authorization. If there is any resistance, they will be executed on the spot. In addition, the telegram ordered Hu Zongnan and Liu Zhi to advance from Henan to northern Anhui and northern Jiangsu, threatening Xuzhou and Zhi Heji, and at the same time, Xue Yue accelerated his advance and joined forces in the Third War Zone to approach Huainan. In addition, a telegram was also issued to Wei Lihuang and Yan Xishan, requiring them to mobilize their troops quickly, Chen was on the north bank of the Yellow River, ready to enter south of the Yellow River to support Tang Enbo's troops at any time!"

"Commissioner, don't act impulsively!" Chen Cheng next to him was anxious and quickly advised: "Not to tell whether Yan Xishan will watch from the wall, the fisherman will benefit. And according to the information, hundreds of thousands of troops of the 11th Army have already guarded the important roads separately and treated them solemnly. Obviously, Qiao Anbang was prepared for this. If the war rashly starts, the outcome is unpredictable. If the Japanese take advantage of the situation and fight back, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

"Hmph, I have said a long time ago that the Japanese are just tinea scabies. Qiao Anbang, ** is our biggest trouble, especially Qiao Anbang. If he lets him develop, the party and the country will sooner or later die at the hands of this person. Moreover, after a series of battles and counterattacks in a while ago, the Japanese invaders have been severely damaged by me and have no power to invade for a short time. This time I must completely wipe out Qiao Anbang, a bastard, and eliminate this big trouble!" Chairman Jiang snorted coldly with a dark face.

"Commissioner, have you forgotten the crushing defeat in the third war zone against Shanghai? Facts have proved that although the overall strength of the Japanese army suffered heavy damage, the degree of threat should not be underestimated!" Chen Cheng gave an example and persuaded.

"And, you have said before that rashly provoking the war will destroy the unified anti-Japanese front of our Chinese nation, which is not conducive to the sincere unity of the whole people and unanimous external activities! It is a completely different act of the relatives' pain and the enemy's happiness!"

"Mom Xipi!" Chairman Jiang was even more furious and shouted in anger: "He Qiao Anbang has abandoned national justice and ignores the righteousness of the nation. What does I, Jiang, care about it? Now Qiao Anbang's power is becoming increasingly powerful, and I have an indirect hatred for killing my father with him. This person has long hated me to the core. If he wins the world, we will die without a place to bury!"

"Committee, since that's the case, before the war begins, why don't you send a telegram to ask Qiao Anbang what purpose it is and see if there is room for recovery? If the negotiation can be done, then it will be impossible to make the negotiations inappropriately, and it will not be too late to start the war again!" Chen Cheng saw that Chairman Jiang had decided to fight, and immediately turned to suggest.

Chairman Jiang pondered for a moment, feeling that what Chen Cheng said was reasonable, and he knew that it was definitely not the time to start a war with Qiao Anbang, so he nodded and said, "Then try it as Cixiu said, but at the same time, he should notify all departments and prepare for all combat just in case!"

"Yes, please don't worry, I'll do it right away!" Chen Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, saluted, then turned around and left quickly.

………………………………………………

Qingdao, Qiao Mansion.

Princess Mary Windsor, who was captured by Qiao Anbang in China for nearly half a month, and her sister Princess Margaret were furious in the guest room.

Margaret was so angry that her face turned red and she kept kicking the door. She shouted loudly in English while kicking and protesting, and also greeted Qiao Anbang's family and friends from time to time.

Because I was captured in China for so long, the handsome Chinese man has never appeared again except when I first came to see the two sisters, and the two sisters have been restricted from freedom.

As for the promise that they had promised to send them back when they arrived in China when they were in the UK, they ended in vain. They were restricted from their freedom and were unable to go home for a long time. Margaret, who had been spoiled since childhood, couldn't help but feel angry.

From initial fear to anger, I started to kick the door and protest every day.

Mary Windsor did not stop her sister's protest. She knew that this was a way for her sister to vent her fear, otherwise, she might collapse.

Mary Windsor's mind is now thinking about how to take her sister back to the UK safely. As for her and her sister's safety, Windsor is not worried now because they have not revealed to anyone that they are the official identity of the British princess.

However, this is also what Windsor hesitated. She didn't know who Qiao Anbang was. If she and her sister showed her identity, would he be afraid of the prestige of the British Empire and sent her and her sister back to the UK safely, or would he kill and silence her?

With such a nervous mood, Windsor always hoped that Qiao Anbang would appear again. She knew that she had to see him. Only by gaining his trust and freedom could she find a way to transmit her and her sister's whereabouts, so that her father would come to save her and her sister.

However, if you don’t know what happened, Qiao Anbang hasn’t happened for more than half a month.

"Bastard, chinese (bastard Chinese) Let us go, shameless Chinese, you bastards, God will punish you, I'm so angry!" Margaret continued her cursing and protesting, because she kept kicking the door and scolding at the top of her throat, her tender little face had been covered with a layer of red glow, and her slightly raised chest was also rising and falling due to rapid breathing.

At this moment, a sound of footsteps suddenly came from outside. Then the closed room was creaked and Qiao Anbang, dressed in military uniform, appeared at the door with a smile on his face.

Qiao Anbang's sudden appearance made Margaret a little at a loss. She was still scolding and protesting just now and was stunned for a moment, looking scared and ashamed.

Qiao Anbang walked in with a smile and greeted him in less skillful English: "Are you doing well, two British girls?"

"No, we are not doing well at all. Please send us back to the UK immediately. You promised it!" Margaret came to her senses and looked at Qiao Anbang with a serious look on her face.

"Oh. You can go back to the UK, but it's not now. I have to wait a few days. I'm busy with military affairs now!" Qiao Anbang smiled after listening to Chu Yan's translation. Qiao Anbang would have a little bit of English in the future, but he couldn't say he was proficient at all. He could only say a few simple English and daily greeting words.

"Scammer. You big liar, you big liar who is untrustworthy!" Margaret immediately shed tears of grievance, and the eyes of Qiao Anbang looking at Qiao Anbang were filled with hatred and anger.

Qiao Anbang shook his head and laughed. This time he really didn't lie to them. His aircraft was used to transport the special operations camp to carry out missions. He really didn't have time to send them back to the UK recently. Moreover, Qiao Anbang himself vaguely felt that these two British beauties did not seem to be ordinary people, so he was always worried and wanted to understand.

Compared to her sister's recklessness and insolence, her sister Marie Windsor, who had never spoken, seemed much more mature and calm. She pointed to Qiao Anbang, who was wearing military uniform and asked in surprise: "Are you a soldier, a member of the top?"

"Yes, I am a soldier!" Qiao Anbang nodded calmly.

"That's great..." Mary Windsor was secretly happy. Because she knew that the Chinese National Government was a pro-British government, she would never dare to offend the British Empire, and would not offend them, as princesses of the British Empire.

However, to be on the safe side, Marie Windsor asked Qiao Anbang again: "Are you the Chinese National Revolutionary Army? Can you tell me what your military rank is? Whose name is your?"

"My military rank?" After hearing Chu Yan's translation, Qiao Anbang suddenly felt alert and replied, "I am just an ordinary army captain. As for the name, there is an unknown man!"

"Captain of the Army?" Mary Windsor looked at Qiao Anbang's military uniform. She was not sure about the mid-range and rank sign. After shaking her head, she said to Qiao Anbang: "Okay, Mr. Captain, can I meet your steward? I think your steward should be able to send us back to England, if you don't have time."

"My Chief? Jiang Bald Head?" Qiao Anbang muttered in his heart, but smiled and said, "I'm very sorry, my Chief is thousands of miles away now, and the two of them may not see him for a while..."

At this moment, another burst of rapid footsteps came from outside the room. Qiao Anbang and Chu Yanjun looked back and saw that the head of the guard regiment Wang Gensheng was walking quickly with a hurried look on his face.

When he arrived, Wang Gensheng immediately stood attentively and saluted: "Chief, I just received a telegram from Jiang Zhongzheng, Chongqing!"

"Huh?" Qiao Anbang's eyes shook, and he winked at Wang Gensheng, indicating that he should pay attention, but the Mary and Windsor sisters did not understand Chinese, so Qiao Anbang's worries were completely redundant.

After stopping Wang Gensheng's report, Qiao Anbang turned around and said to Mary Windsor and his sister Margaret: "Two, I have military affairs, so I lost my companion. I have time another day, so I want you to have dinner!"

After saying that, Qiao Anbang turned around and took Wang Gensheng to leave. When Chu Yan finished translating Qiao Anbang's words, he had already left the backyard.

Leaving Mary Windsor and Margaret were so angry that they stamped their feet.

After leaving the backyard, Wang Gensheng, who had just accompanied Qiao Anbang, asked, "What do you say on the telegram?"

"Cheng Zhongzheng called to question, what is our intention to enter the 20th Legion defense zone?!" Wang Gensheng replied.

"Hmph, intention?" Qiao Anbang sneered and said, "It seems that Jiang Guangtou can't hold back any more. Are there any abnormal movements in Hu Zongnan, Liu Zhi and Gu Zhutong's troops?"

"I haven't received the information from the front line yet, so I'm not sure yet!" Wang Gensheng shook his head and answered truthfully.

"What about Yan Xishan and Wei Lihuang's troops north of the Yellow River? What's the movement?"

"There is no movement yet. Since the recovery of Pingjin, Yan Xishan's Jinsui Army and Wei Lihuang's Central Army have been busy fighting for fame and fortune, snatching territory, and dealing with the increasingly powerful Eighth Route Army and its vast anti-Japanese armed forces. It can be said that they are deeply trapped in this mess. I think even if a military conflict broke out with Chongqing, they are unable to intervene!" Wang Gensheng replied and analyzed.

"Well, however, we still need to telegraph all the frontline divisions and regiments. We cannot relax our vigilance. We must be cheered up in case of accidents, because at this critical moment, anything can happen, and we must be well prepared!" Qiao Anbang nodded.

"Well, please don't worry, the headmaster, I will send them a power reminder immediately!" Wang Gensheng asked: "What should I do about Chairman Jiang of Chongqing? Will I reply?"

After thinking for a while, Qiao Anbang raised his hand and said, "Reply to him and tell Jiang Zhongzheng clearly that all Tang Enbo's troops must be evacuated from Shandong, otherwise the consequences will be borne by one!"
