Base System of Bashu Heroes

Liu Tianchu had just chased him to the door when the Chairman of the Generalissimo came back in a hurry, following behind him like a follower of those goods who were going wherever they could. "I forgot to inform you that the Military Commission has decided to hand over the command of the Sichuan Army to you as a temporary replacement.

Your uncle's position."

The chairman's decision caught everyone by surprise. Everyone looked at him in surprise. Liu Tianchu showed neither joy nor excitement. Tang Shi Zunman, who looked on coldly, thought he would thank him profusely, but Liu Tianchu did not do that.

He didn't even say thank you, but asked: "Commissioner, where will the Sichuan army go after they retreat?"

"Go to Henan to cover Xuzhou's flanks and ensure the smooth progress of the Xuzhou battle."

"What about Shandong? Han Fuqu retreated without a fight, and the northern front line of Xuzhou was wide open. The Japanese army in Nanjing could take a short rest and then march down. At that time, the fifth theater will face the danger of being attacked from the north and the south. The Battle of Xuzhou

Whether we succeed or not, it will not change the critical situation of the situation. We shout for liberation every day, but is it just a battle for liberation?"

Next to him, Pan Wenhua muttered to himself: "...be careful what you say!"

Pan Wenhua was right. The chairman really started to stare. He was anxious: "How long will you give me? For a lifetime? How long will it take to throw this mess of Chinese warlords to me? How long will it take to organize a nationwide resistance war?"

How long did the Battle of Songhu and the Battle of Nanjing give me? The officials comforted me with nonsense words. Don’t care about the gains and losses of a city or a place, don’t care about the victory or defeat of a battle, yes! There is a way out, I can

Let’s go? I sleep four hours a day, why? I’ve been breaking the rules, enough to bring the Chairman of the Generalissimo to court-martial, so I’ll spare you. If you abide by those rules, we won’t have to fight to death, we will die in a hurry.”

Liu Tianchu continued his last question slowly: "The commission is not against the rules. Every inch of mountains and rivers is blood. Even if the commission's decision is correct, Xuzhou cannot be guaranteed. But I have always been wrong. Thanks to the commission for your forgiveness, I

I want to make another mistake, capture Shandong, and insert myself into the rear of the Japanese army in Xuzhou."

Pan Wenhua muttered again: "It's over, it's over, it's so urgent!"

Sure enough, the chairman grabbed Liu Tianchu's collar: "Don't you understand? - We can't attack, it's an occupied area. What I need now is morale, morale! Is this what I can say? Remember, our country is very

Big, our soldiers have not suffered such a defeat in thousands of years. A large part of the country has fallen. We owe the people too much. We all deserve to die." He grabbed Liu Tianchu and pointed at everyone. "You, me, and them all deserve to die.

of."

"No one will die." Liu Tianchu murmured in a low voice. "Aren't you shouting for liberation every day? Don't you need morale? Invading enemy-occupied areas in Shandong is not morale?"

The chairman of the committee let him go, with a look of disinterest. It seemed that his emotion today was that he would come back disappointed when he was in high spirits - at least in front of Liu Tianchu.

"I won't tell you anymore. You know why I came to this useless place. I didn't do anything for you, just for your restlessness and your arrogance. I thought you had the courage to fight, but I was wrong.

It turns out that you just want to make some noise, and you need a lot of military pay and supplies. If you go to recover, it's best to fend for yourself." After saying that, he turned around and walked out.

Liu Tianchu shouted at his back, "Can I attack Shandong?"

The Chairman did not look back: "You have the courage to swim upstream, but I hope you still have the luck to leak the wine."

"If I take Shandong, can I be autonomous?"

The chairman was stunned for a moment and stopped. "Okay, but the premise is: you are still alive, don't let me curse at your body, you are an idiot." After saying that, he walked away without looking back.

He left, followed by a group of people cheering behind him. He disappeared, and then everyone heard a splash. Tang Shizun, whose face was as pale as paper, lost his balance and fell heavily to the ground...

During the expedition to Shandong, Tang Shizun was frightened. But Liu Tianchu was unmoved. He just glanced at it and sat there playing with Pan Wenhua's Browning. The Chairman was so excited, but it was definitely not concern. Liu Tianchu knew it well. He succeeded.

It can indeed boost morale and regain the lost ground. If it fails, the only loss will be the Sichuan army. So he agreed vaguely, but there was no hope for supplies and military pay, and everything had to be relied on by himself.

After leaving the headquarters and returning to the military headquarters, Ronghua found a military uniform for him to put on. Liu Tianchu first checked Heizi's injury. Heizi was no longer seriously injured and fell asleep after receiving a blood transfusion.

After watching the sunspots, Liu Tianchu went to Xiaguan Wharf again. Feng Huaizhu's 137th Division had crossed the river to build fortifications along the coast and received wounded soldiers and arsenal machinery and supplies. Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner according to the original plan.

There are less than twelve hours left before the total retreat time. The retreat order has been issued to the entire army. Tang Shizun does not need to notify him. He has already made it clear to the Chairman that there is nothing to hide. In order to take care of Tang Shizun's emotions, Liu Tianchu ordered Tang Shizun to

The 145th and 146th Divisions of the First Army took the lead in crossing the river and were stationed and assembled in Yancheng, Sheyang, Lianyungang, and Rizhao to support the flanks of the fifth theater of Huai'an.

Pan Wenhua's 167th and 168th divisions of the 23rd Army have launched a decisive battle with the Japanese 33rd and 9th regiments in Jurong. Pan Wenhua's two brigades of the 144th Division are fighting fiercely with the Japanese at Tiexinqiao.

, At this point, the front line of Tianwang Temple from Guangde to Liyang has been opened wide, and the pressure from the two Japanese divisions on the Guangde front line falls entirely on the 144th Division.

The Nanjing defenders retreated, and the Japanese army also discovered Liu Tianchu's intentions. While the 1st and 1st Divisions of the 3rd and 9th Divisions on the center line violently attacked Liu Ling and Chen Jiaqi's positions on the center line, the 6th and 114th Divisions on the Guangde front line also crossed Fangshan.

Attempt to join up with the 35th, 36th and 7th Regiments of the 9th Division in the encirclement.

Liu Tianchu, who arrived at the Jurong frontline headquarters, listened to Pan Wenhua's detailed description of the battle and just smiled. "After eating the Japanese 9th, 33rd, and 45th regiments, Uncle Pan led the troops across the river quickly and gathered at the Tang Army.

The troops were divided into two groups, with Tang Shizun stationed at Lianyungang. After Rizhao, Uncle Pan led his troops to besiege Qingdao and quickly occupied Weifang, Zibo and Dongying."

Pan Wenhua looked at Liu Tianchu in astonishment and shook his head: "Qingdao is a coastal city heavily defended by the Japanese army and has an important military port. According to the original plan, we should send troops to Jinan..."

Liu Tianchu interrupted him. "You didn't understand what I meant. What I meant was to wait for an opportunity to move against Qingdao. Lianyungang is in our hands. Qingdao is the nearest route for Japanese reinforcements to Xuzhou via water. Holding Qingdao can effectively reduce the pressure on Xuzhou. I

After the Twelfth Army withdraws from Nanjing, I will bypass Xuzhou, cover your flanks, and penetrate directly into Jinan."

Pan Wenhua still disagreed and pointed at the map. "Look, the Kunozaki Detachment and the Chongteng Detachment have crossed the river and moved north. The Japanese Thirteenth Division in Henan has attacked Huai'an and Bengbu. The Shanghai Expeditionary Army in Nanjing will not sit idly by and ignore it. Even if

You successfully crossed the river, there are pursuers behind you, interceptors in front, and the troops are in urgent need of supplies. By the time you reach Jinan, you will probably be at the end of your battle!"

Liu Tianchu also disagreed with Pan Wenhua's statement. "Junzuo, if you think about it the other way around, after I attracted the Japanese army, you and Tang Junzuo have controlled Lianyungang, Rizhao, and large densely populated areas around Qingdao, and the supply problem can be solved.

?And if I capture the line from Jinan to Kaifeng along the Yellow River, cut off the Tianjin-Pukou Railway (Tianjin-Pukou), and the Ping-Han Railway (Beiping-Hankou), and rely on the natural dangers of the Yellow River to prevent the Japanese army from going south, the battle of Xuzhou will be without pressure from the northern line, and the success will be much greater."

Pan Wenhua was still worried. "Are you sure?" he asked worriedly.

"The key is your military position. You have contained the Japanese troops in Zibo, Weifang and Qingdao. Jinan is easily accessible. The troublesome thing is Kaifeng. The battle of Lanfeng failed and the Japanese 14th Division became a threat."...

"The battle of Lanfeng failed? No, nearly thirty divisions of the Chinese army gathered around to prevent the Japanese army from advancing westward. The Japanese army only had one division." Pan Wenhua didn't believe what he said at all and looked at him doubtfully.

Liu Tianchu knew he couldn't explain it and didn't want to explain it, so he changed the subject. "The Japanese Fourth Fleet will set off from Qingdao to attack Lianyungang in an attempt to open up the Longhai Railway (Lanzhou-Lianyungang) to the west to reach Zhengzhou. Please negotiate with Tang Shizun and let him do it early."

Prepare."

Pan Wenhua still didn't understand. "Do you have the insight? You are already the acting commander, why don't you issue the order?"

Liu Tianchu did not answer his first question, but just followed his words: "Because the commander-in-chief Tang Junzhi has a grudge, and he and his uncle are considered brothers. According to seniority, I should call you uncle. Giving orders to him will embarrass me.

You should go ahead and tell me!" After saying that, he grinned awkwardly and lowered his head.

Pan Wenhua looked at him for a long time and nodded secretly. Liu Tianchu was young, but he was considerate and considerate of others. He never used official power to overwhelm others, but he had something that convinced people. His future was limitless. "Okay!

I'll go tell it."

After Pan Wenhua finished speaking, he walked out and was stopped by Liu Tianchu: "There is no rush for now. Let's deal with the 9th, 33rd, and 45th Japanese Regiments first."
