But what was even more shocked was Luo Rhuan. In the plan formulated by the Shandong Branch, the Jiaodong Peninsula was the focus of the offensive. After the Japanese army was transferred to the Taishan defense line, the Jiaodong Peninsula was left with puppet troops, with empty troops and low combat effectiveness. It was a great time for development. The Shandong Branch formulated a detailed plan. In addition to the Jiaodong troops commanded by Xu Syou, Chen Yisuyi commanded the First Division of the New Fourth Army and some Eighth Route Army were also going to the Jiaodong Peninsula to launch a large-scale attack on the Jiaodong Peninsula and capture the entire Jiaodong.

But this situation completely disrupted the plan formulated by the branch. If these puppet troops beat the Kuomintang's flag, they would no longer be able to attack the areas they controlled. The Kuomintang naturally controlled most of the Jiaodong area.

Luo Rhuan was still thinking about countermeasures, Wen Qiang had finished speaking, Zhuang Jihua asked him to sit down, and then asked Xu Zuyi to continue to announce the current combat plan of the theater.

"In Henan, Gu Shoufu gathered four divisions and a mixed brigade in Xinxiang, with a total force of more than 70,000 people. He assembled two divisions in Jincheng, Shanxi. The purpose was to attract our army's attack with Xinxiang troops, and then the Jincheng troops were dispatched to attack our army's flanks."

"In order to change the unfavorable situation of the Japanese army in North China, the Japanese army decided to draw troops from Jiangnan, Kwantung Army and Nanyang to reinforce North China. However, due to the long journey, only Jiangnan troops may arrive at the Shandong battlefield in a short period of time, posing a threat to our army's attack on Shandong."

"In view of the current situation of the Japanese army, the theater command decided to launch an attack on the Japanese army before the Japanese reinforcements arrived, capture Jinan and capture the Shandong area south of the Yellow River."

"To achieve this goal, the theater decided to form five attack groups in the entire Jiangbei theater. General Tang Enbo is responsible for commanding the current troops north of the Yellow River. This is the West Group, which is under the jurisdiction of the 31st Group Army, the Fifth Group Army, and the 49th Group Army. In addition, Tang Huaiyuan's unit of the Third Army joined the group. The group has a total force of 300,000, 800 tanks, 300 armored vehicles, equipped with 36 rocket launchers and 1,600 various artillery pieces, and air cover is provided by the Third Air Force Division."

"Tai'an Group, commander-in-chief Du Yuming, is under the jurisdiction of the Fifty Group Army, the First Group Army, the Thirty-Sixth Group Army, with a total force of 320,000, 20,000 artillery, and 80 tanks."

"Linyi Group, commander-in-chief Guan Linzheng, is under the jurisdiction of the 24th Army, the 47th Army, and the new First Division; a total force of 280,000 people and 1,800 artillery pieces of various types."

"Lubei Group, commander-in-chief Song Xilian, is under the jurisdiction of the Second Army, the First Mechanized Army, the 101st Army of the Forty-Ninth Army, and the 22nd Army. The total strength is 350,000, 760 tanks, 330 armored vehicles, three battalions of rocket artillery, 108, and 3,700 artillery pieces of various types, and air cover is provided by the Fourth and Fifth Divisions of the Air Force."

"The Central Group was established, with Chen G as the commander-in-chief, composed of the guerrilla corps, the New Eighth Army, and the 0th Division. It crossed the river in Heze. The troops on this route are relatively small, so the commander hopes that the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army can be strengthened to this route."

"The Bengbu Group was formed on the southern front, responsible for blocking possible northward reinforcements from the Japanese army in Jiangnan. It was commanded by General Sun Lianzhong, deputy commander of the theater, and under its jurisdiction, the 15th Army, the 4th Army, the 92nd Army, and the 46th Army; Deputy Commander Li Pinxian was responsible for commanding the 21st Army and the 17th Army, responsible for monitoring the Japanese army around Anqing."

"The Qing 3rd Army, the Qing 4th Army, the New First Army, and the New Sixth Army were all transferred to Xuzhou to serve as strategic reserves."

"In this attack, the West Group and the Bengbu Group attracted the attention of the Japanese army through defensive methods and did not allow them to divide the troops. The Bengbu Group must block the Japanese army south of the Huai River."

"General Du Yuming, your attack is a feint. You only need to attract the attention of the Japanese army on the Taishan defense line, and you must not be able to draw troops to support the two lines."

"Lubei Group, General Song Xilian, your unit's mission is to destroy the Japanese troops concentrated on the north bank of the Yellow River that were extremely close to Liaocheng. Note that the 1st Division of the chariots transferred from the Soviet Russian battlefield are also here."

"Don't worry, the Japanese tanks are thin-skinned tanks. Qiu Crazy will beat them all over the ground to find teeth." Song Xilian looked relaxed. Everyone knew what Japanese tanks looked like for so many years. Since the bazooka began to fully equip the troops, the Japanese tanks have never raised their heads on the battlefield.

"Don't take it lightly. I heard that the First Division of this chariot is equipped with German tanks, so don't underestimate the enemy." Zhuang Jihua's tone was a little stern. Song Xilian agreed with a smile, but didn't care at all.

"After you defeated the Japanese army in Liaocheng, you immediately advanced eastward, cut off the Jinpu line, and then crossed the river in Qihe and attacked Jinan from the north."

"The focus of the offensive is on Linyi Group, Guan Linzheng, your mission is to capture Zhucheng as soon as possible, open the road to Jiaodong Peninsula, and then attack along the Jiaoji Line and attack Jinan from the southwest."

"When Song Xilian and Guan Linzheng attacked Jinan from the north and northwest, Matsui Ishigen could only draw troops from the Taishan defense line. In this way, General Du Yuming's pressure will be reduced, and fighter jets will appear in Tai'an. General Du, you must quickly break through the Taishan defense line and approach Jinan from the east."

"After our army began to attack Zhucheng, General Wen Qiang, the puppet troops retreated to Jiaodong, immediately all of them were commanded by Sun Liangcheng to besiege Qingdao."

"General Chen G, Pang Bingxun and Sun Dianying's puppet troops who are currently stationed in Puyang, have also been rebelled for the military command. However, there are two Japanese squadrons in Puyang. When you approach Puyang, Pang Bingxun and Sun Dianying will raise an army. After seizing Puyang, Puyang will be stationed by Pang Sun's two troops, and you will continue to advance north. The Fifth Army will bypass Xinxiang, attack Anyang with you, and encircle Gu Shoufu in Xinxiang."

"According to the order of the headquarters, after our army launched an attack, General Lihuang of Zhongtiaoshan Guard and General Liu Bocheng of the Eighth Route Army, were commanding four armies, secretly advanced westward, occupying Yuntai Mountain and Changping's front line, thinking that it would be blocked."

After Xu Zuyi finished speaking, Zhuang Jihua continued: "The plan has been read out, and this plan has not been discussed with everyone. If you have any questions, please raise them now."

Speaking of this, he glanced at Luo Rhuan: "Teacher Luo, can the 115th Division come from Yimeng Mountain?"

This is his most worrying issue. If GCD is allowed to develop in Shandong, the 115th Division will not be transferred out of Shandong, and Chen G will have to attack north alone. More importantly, he reached an agreement with Chen G to hand over Ji Nan to GCD. According to this agreement, the Shandong Eighth Route Army must be transferred out part of it.

"Before receiving the central telegram, the troops were dispersed. At present, only one brigade can be dispatched immediately. The other two brigades will take four days to assemble." Luo Rhuan said.

Zhuang Jihua was overjoyed. Luo Rhuan's attitude showed that he was willing to abide by the agreement reached at the beginning, and the possibility of his plan being realized increased greatly.

"Okay, very good. Chen G. Your troops attacked in front of Guangting and they started to operate a week later. At this stage, the Japanese army has no energy to take care of you. In addition, in order to enhance the combat effectiveness of your unit, the theater command decided to transfer you 105 howitzers, 12 Qiwu Mountain cannons, and some other materials. After going down, you send someone to Shangqiu to find Director Lin of the Logistics Department to lead the company."

"This is almost the same," Chen G smiled and said, "You have to be full of people. Song Mengguo went to the city a few minutes before me in Jining. After the war, I want your firepower equipment, so I have already entered the city."

Song Xilian shook his head and was not polite at all: "It is impossible. Your tactics are still on the group charge, which is no different from the Northern Expedition era. Our current tactics are new tactics, which have been tested for six years. And you are mainly expanding your troops in recent years and fighting some guerrilla warfares. The scale of the combat is not large, and a brigade is considered large-scale. You have mastered too little tactical movements of this positional warfare."

Song Xilian's tone was a little disdainful. Chen G admitted in his heart that Song Xilian was right, but he didn't lose the battle, so why couldn't he admit it? He sneered and shook his head: "I said, Brother Song, why are you blind? We may not have fought a large-scale battle of hundreds of thousands or millions, but we fought a lot of battles above the division. Let's talk about Jizhong District. The Japanese encircled and suppressed several times, and that was not a large-scale battle."

Chen G's words were somewhat slanderous. After the New Fourth Army headed north, the Hebei Central Army developed to its peak, with about 80,000 people. When the Japanese army surrounded and suppressed the enemy, but even so, they could not fight positional warfare. Not to mention the gap in firepower, the soldiers' tactical skills were several levels lower than those of the opponent. The only heavy artillery of the Eighth Route Army was scrapped after the shells were fired. The Eighth Route Army's own arsenal could not produce shells, and the Kuomintang's supplies were sometimes not available, so those heavy artillery can be said to have or not. Like the New Fourth Army after the Third War Zone was replaced, it was equipped with 105 howitzers, but after several wars in Hebei Central, all of these heavy artillery were blown up after the shells were fired.

In the battle between the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army, the most taboo thing is positional warfare, generally guerrilla warfare, with fewer mobile warfare. Moreover, due to the Japanese surroundings, the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army cannot assemble on a large scale. They are usually scattered and only concentrated before the war.

"Chen g, this is the tactical manual I have summarized," Zhuang Jihua immediately extinguished the possible Mars and handed the prepared booklet to Chen G. Guan Linzheng and Du Yuming's face changed drastically as soon as they saw it.

Who would have thought that Chen G smiled at Zhuang Jihua and did not respond: "Cultural Revolution, you are quite kind, but you know the feelings of your classmates. To be honest, I have this thing, and I can recite it to you. However, our equipment and logistics cannot afford to fight like you. You are a little useful in three groups and one team, and other firepower coverage, combination of step and tank, and combination of air and space, we can't use it at all."

Zhuang Jihua glanced at Guan Linzheng and Du Yuming with a deep meaning. Du Yuming felt a little hot on his face, but Guan Linzheng seemed nothing happened and just kept staring at Chen G.

"Okay, if you don't have any objections, the meeting will be broken. I'll give you three days. The first one to start attacking is Guan Linzheng, followed by Song Xilian, and Du Yuming. This time we will do the opposite." Zhuang Jihua had a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

In past battle examples, Zhuang Jihua's first battle was to lure the enemy troops, and the real attack was always revealed at the end. But this time, Zhuang Jihua decided to show the main target first, and Du Yuming's troops, who were responsible for lure the enemy, finally moved.

"I really didn't expect that they would agree." Xu Zuyi looked at Chen G and Luo Rhuan's backs, a little puzzled and excited. The weakest plan was the Chen G group, but the troops were tight, so Zhuang Jihua had to use the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army to supplement it. However, this move would transfer the 115th Division from Shandong, weakening the strength of Shandong GCD troops. Xu Zuyi was most worried about was that GCD would not agree, and he did not expect it to be smooth.

Zhuang Jihua nodded without comment, and then asked: "When will they arrive?"

"Tonight." Xu Zuyi replied.

Zhuang Jihua nodded, said nothing, turned around and said to Song Yunfei, "The special forces will not participate in the war this time. Let the brothers have a good rest, and the safety of the headquarters will be left to you."

Song Yunfei frowned slightly. The special forces' battle this time was not large and the losses were not large. However, in the Battle of Northern Hubei, the special forces suffered too much loss and have not recovered their vitality so far.

"Commander, there are more than 300 special forces. The Japanese army's supplement was to provide supplies from North China to Shandong through the Jinpu Line. I suggest sending a small team to move around Dexian." Song Yunfei was unwilling to do anything in such a large-scale offensive battle.

Zhuang Jihua looked at him, thought for a while, nodded and agreed: "Okay, you can decide the action plan. If the Japanese army in De County has a tight defense, you can continue to go north. Just blow up the Jinpu line, I don't care about the others." After saying that, he turned around and left, and then added: "Tell them to pay attention to safety. This time, you don't want to go, stay and train the recruits."

After the Battle of Northern Hubei, the special forces added about eighty new recruits. These new recruits entered the army and entered the battlefield in just two months and were not qualified special soldiers.

"Okay, I'll let Shi Shaoxian lead the team."

After Shi Shaoxian cracked the Ji Feixiang case and Zhao Hanjie died, he applied to return to the special forces. Zhuang Jihua agreed, and Lian Xiaosen was also the one who went there.

The battlefield was calmed for almost a month, and with the mobilization of the squadrons, subtle changes began to occur on the battlefield. Each squadron assembled to the assembly point according to the scheduled deployment. On the third day after the meeting, Wen Qiang came to report, Qingdao Agent Station reported, and a corps of the 9th Division landed on Qingdao.

This situation was beyond Zhuang Jihua's expectations. According to Zhuang Jihua's estimates, the Japanese main fleet was still in Nanyang and did not have enough ships to carry Jiangnan troops. However, unexpectedly, the Japanese army requisitioned a large number of civilian ships in Shanghai, and even some flatland ships for inland shipping, and sent all the personnel and equipment of a corps at a time.

"Miscalculation is miscalculated." Zhuang Jihua called for miscalculation after receiving the information: "Appointment to Guan Linzheng to act immediately and take Ju County in the first battle."
