February 8th.
Liao Yuanliang arrived in Guanzhou with four army groups and established a temporary headquarters in Guanzhou. Hao, the frontline station commander of the Military Intelligence Bureau, reported all the news on the frontline to Liao Yuanliang.
"Deputy Commander."
Station Commander Hao came to Liao Yuanliang and said, "Marshal Zeng Tianle is attached to Caoxian County, and seven surrounding towns have formed a defensive position. The Japs are encroaching step by step, but according to the information we have obtained, the Japs seem to be deliberately slowing down their advance. footsteps."
"deliberately!"
Liao Yuanliang frowned and said, "It seems that the Japs are waiting for us to jump in. Then we will fulfill the Japs' wish, but we can't let their plans go to waste."
"so."
Liao Yuanliang said to the four group army commanders behind him, "Send armored troops directly at the headquarters of the Little Japanese Army to catch them off guard."
"clear."
"After dispatching the armored troops," Liao Yuanliang continued, "the rest of the troops were pushed directly towards Caoxian County. I don't believe that the Japanese can eat us in one bite, and asked the headquarters to send aviation troops to support us."
"Stationmaster Hao."
Liao Yuanliang said to the man in front of him, "Send the news to Marshal Zeng Tianle, cooperate with our troops internally and externally, and catch him off guard."
"Also give this battle plan to the marshal."
"clear."
Station Commander Hao nodded and responded with the battle plan.
In this battle plan, Liao Yuanliang adopted the plan of rescuing Zeng Tianle, and fighting the Japs to consume the new army of the imperial court. Although the commander only mentioned it, as a subordinate, he had to consider it for the commander.
These new army troops have experienced this battle and are all first-class veterans. Once they return to the court alive, they will definitely greatly increase the strength of the court, which is detrimental to the garrison headquarters.
Therefore, there is absolutely no way he can bring these hundreds of thousands of new army troops back to the court's camp. It is better to let them use their spare time to eliminate the Japanese's vitality.
...
Cao County Headquarters.
An old man with white hair is sitting at the top of the table, holding a cigarette in his hand. If someone sees the face of the old man with white hair, they will definitely exclaim, is this still the heroic old marshal Zeng Tianle?
At this time, Zeng Tianle's face turned pale, and his fatigue could be seen from his body.
As an old man over seventy years old, following young and strong soldiers in the northern and southern campaigns, and thinking about a lot of problems every day, his mental strength is far less than before.
"Why!"
Zeng Tianle looked at the map and sighed. He tried his best but could not figure out how to lead his troops to break out. Because the Japanese army was encircling and suppressing it with millions of soldiers, as long as he gave up the county seat, he would encounter the Japanese encirclement and suppression. This would only Defeat faster.
"Our huge country was unexpectedly invaded by a small country and lost the dragon's veins of Yanjing and the five provinces. As soldiers of the Great Xia Kingdom, we are ashamed of the people and the court!"
Zeng Tianle said to the middle-aged man next to him.
This man is Zeng Zhongjun, Zeng Tianle's son, and Zeng Tianle's right-hand man, a fierce general.
"The country will be shattered!"
Zeng Zhongjun shook his head and said, "If our country of Daxia is really invaded and turned into a colony by the Eastern Kingdom, then how can we have the face to face our ancestors!"
"Can't die."
Zeng Tianle took a puff of cigarette and said, "Today, Daxia has a hero."
"Hero?"
Zeng Zhongjun asked in surprise, "Could it be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince... Oh no, it should be said to be His Majesty the Emperor now."
"no."
Zeng Tianle cut off the cigarette in his hand and said, "Your Majesty is talented, intelligent, and ruthless. He is very suitable for the position of emperor. He has the power to turn the tide for the 'former' Great Xia Kingdom. However, as his teacher, I know that your Majesty's shortcomings are Lack of overall perspective, only knowing how to look at the present, there is no problem as a city-defending emperor, but for Daxia Kingdom now, it is impossible to defeat Dongyang Kingdom and unify Daxia, even with the help of two old guys like me. "
"What did father say?"
"Shanglu Guard Commander Su Yu," Zeng Tianle said while looking at his son, "Today in Daxia, who has the highest prestige is none other than Commander Su. He responds to every call and is supported by all the people. And with his military capabilities, you must also You know, in the first battle of our coalition forces, only the other side saw the flaw and retreated unscathed on the premise of annihilating the three divisions of the Little Devils."
"It can be seen from this that the other party's command ability is very strong. With an army of 150,000, he completely annihilated three divisions of the Little Devils. In the entire Daxia Kingdom, I am afraid that this is the only one who can do it."
"Build the wall high and be king slowly."
Zeng Zhongjun said.
"That's right," Zeng Tianle nodded and said, "This is a hero. I have investigated every move he makes before, and he is very well hidden. But now that it breaks out, who can stop him?"
"Before, I called the entire intelligence organization of the imperial court to investigate where the weapons and equipment in Commander Su's hands came from. However," Zeng Tianle said with a frown, "I used more than 3,000 secret agents and spent millions of funds, and only got one As a result, the opponent's equipment seemed to fall from the sky, and the source could not be found at all."
"Hidden so deeply?"
Hearing this, Zeng Zhongjun also became curious about the security commander. In the past, he didn't care too much about the security commander, but now it seems that he underestimated the people in the world.
"Do you know how many troops there are in the Shanglu Security Command now?"
Zeng Tianle asked.
"200,000?"
Zeng Zhongjun said a figure. In his opinion, it was already a great thing for the territory of Lu to support 200,000 troops. Since his father asked, he specifically said it was a little higher.
"200,000!"
"Hahaha."
Zeng Tianle laughed and said, "When the garrison claimed to be recruiting new soldiers, I investigated and found that they recruited 1.1 million new soldiers. This does not include their own original soldiers. Now it seems that there are no less than 1.5 million."
"How many?"
Zeng Zhongjun stood up in surprise and shouted, "How is that possible? 1.5 million!"
"Nothing is impossible."
"marshal!"
At this time, a middle-aged officer quickly came to Zeng Tianle and said, "I just got the news that the Shanglu Garrison Command has led more than 600,000 troops to rescue us. They are now stationed in Guanzhou. This is what they gave us." The battle plan, let us cooperate with them to create a gap and rescue us."
"Look."
Zeng Tianle said with a smile, "Actually, I have vaguely guessed that the other party will come to rescue. Let me just say this. As long as that force comes to support this time, the possibility of winning the world is almost certain. The court will not be able to support Adou after all. .”
