Xuzhou War Zone Command.

Under the organization of General Li Zongren, senior officers gathered in the combat command hall.

General Li Zongren took the command center to analyze the situation of the battle! His purpose was to defend Xuzhou and fight a victorious battle.

"With the strength of the Sichuan Army, it is difficult for the Japanese army to conquer Taierzhuang and march into Xuzhou! We can gain more deployment time with our main army to win a big victory." General Li Zongren said.

The generals in the entire combat hall were full of determination to win this battle! They had overwhelming forces against the Japanese army.

However, Guo Xiaowu, who was sitting in the last seat, snorted coldly in his heart, and he didn't want to listen to this big argument! Teng County, which is only more than 100 miles away from Xuzhou, is fighting fiercely. Shouldn't the army be able to rush to rescue and take the initiative? Now, he directly strangled the Japanese army to death in Shandong, so that he can have more confidence in victory.

The lieutenant colonel officer of the intelligence department stepped into the combat hall at this moment! The bang bang footsteps were extremely harsh, and a report interrupted General Li Zongren and became silent for a moment.

"Tell me!" General Li Zongren ordered.

"Report to the commander, Teng County is lost! General Wang Mingzhang, the commander of the 122nd Division, and all the soldiers died heroically." The officer of the Intelligence Corps reported.

"What!? Why is it so fast!?" General Li Zongren was extremely shocked.

For a moment, the entire combat hall was shocked and buzzing! Guo Xiaowu snorted coldly, stood up suddenly, and was pressed down by a general beside him.

At this moment, Guo Xiaowu gritted his teeth and could see his anger.

"How are the casualties of the Japanese army??" General Li Zongren asked.

General Li Zongren asked a question, which was the result that the generals wanted to hear the most! Suddenly, they became quiet again.

"The 10th Infantry Regiment of the Japanese Army was attacked by Teng Prefecture, and cooperated with a Japanese armored brigade and an artillery squadron! The 10th Regiment suffered heavy casualties and was almost disabled! In the few days, the number of casualties was more than 1,000, and one Japanese armored vehicle and seven tanks were blown up." Lieutenant Colonel of the Intelligence Department reported.

"Awesome, amazing! The Sichuan Army's equipment is simple. It is said that General Wang Mingzhang's headquarters guarded Teng County with less than 3,000 soldiers. It's enough to be proud to have such a record! It's just a pity that General Wang Mingzhang sacrificed his life for his country."

"You are right! Even if I lead a soldier like the Sichuan Army, I dare not say that I can defend Teng County for three days."

"A patriotic general! His courage is not comparable to that of us."

The generals couldn't help but talk about it with admiration! If General Wang Mingzhang could still live, it could be said to be a big victory.

"It's late! It's late... Mingzhang!" General Li Zongren was deeply saddened.

"Stand up!" General Li Zongren's adjutant gave an order, and the generals immediately became silent! He stood attentive with a sound of touching.

"Satisfaction to General Wang Mingzhang!" General Li Zongren took off his general's cap and lowered his head.

The generals took off their military caps and held them, and the entire combat hall was filled with a sad atmosphere.

At this moment, Guo Xiaowu sighed, but he gritted his teeth! Even so, it would not relieve his inner anger. Guo Xiaowu clenched his fists tightly.

"Tele to Chairman Jiang to inform General Wang Mingzhang of his death! I would like to fight in the fifth war zone." After the silence, General Li Zongren said angrily and seriously! He punched the table with a "bang".

"Every division is ready for war immediately! Please wait for dispatch at any time and disperse the meeting." General Li Zongren ordered immediately.

The news of General Wang Mingzhang's death in battle came to Chongqing, and even Chairman Jiang was shocked after receiving the news! In his grief, he also understood that the loss of Teng County to Xuzhou was in danger, so he immediately ordered General Li Zongren to dispatch troops to block the Japanese offensive.

The Iron Blood Brigade Tourism Department is stationed in a courtyard outside Xuzhou City.

Chen Yu, the commander of the Third Regiment, was the chief of combat staff of the brigade department. He walked to Guo Xiaowu with the information he had just obtained! He said with an ugly look: "Fight in Teng County! All the soldiers of the 1st and 2nd Battalions of our headquarters were killed. They chose to live and die with the Sichuan Army soldiers of the 122nd Division.

All the 46 brothers who survived were killed under the cover of Japanese artillery bombardment.

At the beginning, the battle in Teng County began! The Japanese army had only the infantry offensive operations of the 10th Regiment, but on the third day, it was suddenly suppressed a Japanese tank brigade! If it weren't for the Japanese tank brigade, the Japanese 10th Regiment would have lost in this battle."

Guo Xiaowu frowned and sucked the smoke one by one! The cigarette in his mouth kept burning. He heard the battle situation and his fingers holding the cigarette were trembling slightly. He took a deep breath of smoke and sighed and responded: "It's still insufficient heavy weapons! I'll give the Second Regiment to the Second Regiment to reward the Second Battalion of the First Battalion of the Second Regiment for the heroic battle, awarded the title of Glorious Warrior of the Iron Blood Brigade, and paid double the pension.

I specially ordered Cai Tieqin to bring my troops back alive no matter how fierce the battle is, and to take my brothers back as much as possible.

After the Taierzhuang battle of the Second Regiment was over, the whole unit would go home immediately! There was no need to go back to Xuzhou to continue fighting. When the war ended, I would see him in my hometown.”

"Yes!" Chen Yu turned around and left.

After Chen Yu left, Guo Xiaowu took out a cigarette from the cigarette box on the table, continued to burn it with the cigarette butt in his hand and calmed down and thought: I sent the Second Regiment to support Teng County, just to change the situation, but I still couldn't change it! The Japanese reinforced a tank brigade, which increased the difficulty of defense! The defeat was still irreversible.

The Sichuan Army is patriotic, and the whole country is united! Cai Tieqin is also a patriotic person and has the responsibility to supervise the war! Can this battle achieve greater results? Life and death are impermanent on the battlefield, and all my second regiments must not be killed in Taierzhuang.

If I really want to fight, my Iron Blood Brigade soldiers will be even more desperate.

"Diao Saner! Diao Saner! Let Diao Saner see me immediately." Guo Xiaowu shouted.

"Jun's post!" Diao San'er walked into the brigade department.

"With Lao Cai's character, he has always been seeking stability! But in the end, he will inevitably make a desperate bet. You send a special team to sneak into Taierzhuang and find the Second Regiment! Ensure the safety of the regiment Cai." Guo Xiaowu ordered.

"Yes!" Diao Saner stood at attention.

"How is the situation recently?" Guo Xiaowu asked.

"June! The Japanese army's attack was very fierce! Our brigade was ordered to supervise the battle, and the various units on the Jinpu Line suffered heavy casualties, making it difficult for the Japanese army to be strong. However, there were still many deserters, and there were no soldiers under the guns of our brigade.

The supervising troops of other troops prevented the repeated escapes! The control of the battle situation is still stable." Diao Saner responded.

"Are there any casualties in our army??" Guo Xiaowu asked in a breath.

"There were 113 casualties, all of which were casualties in the counterattack by the fleeing soldiers, and 62 brothers were killed." Diao Saner responded.

"Made from dogs! These troops are much worse than the Sichuan Army and have no military quality! For the sake of military power, they only need quantity." Guo Xiaowu said angrily.

"Many new soldiers can't even shoot guns! Most of them just fill up bullets, pull the trigger and shoot. A regiment of our army's commander Tang fights against a squadron of the Japanese army. Although one battle continues, the casualties are close to two battalions.

The Japanese army only left a hundred corpses and retreated.

It’s not because of the order to supervise the battle that the brothers all want to go on the battlefield in person.” Diao Saner said with a disappointed look on his face.

"Although it's cruel! But you have to understand that our Iron Blood Brigade alone can change nothing! What you want is that more Chinese soldiers can fight bravely, no matter how they join the army, whether they are voluntarily or forced! But as long as they take a gun and put on a military uniform, they must accept their fate.

I order my brothers not to be lenient, and our soldiers should not face the challenge until the last moment! Perform our duties well." Guo Xiaowu ordered.
