Wait patiently.

Supervise troop training every day.

Then there was the creation of a crude version of the rocket launcher. Even the barrel was saved.

Just use two iron rings instead. It can roughly fix the rocket launcher and adjust the height and direction.

No accuracy is required.

Just ask for quantity.

There must be more.

can be sent to the front line as soon as possible.

You can join the battle anytime and anywhere.

Here, the Japanese invaders continued to attack. The entire army made an assault. The progress was rapid.

Capture Zoucheng...

Occupy Teng County...

The Japanese invaders advanced to Tai'erzhuang.

Encountered a strong blockage by the national army. The one who went into battle was Guan Tiequan.

The 10th Division pressed forward with all its strength...

Tomborn's 20th Army entered the battle and resisted tenaciously.

The Fifth Division followed...

More national troops entered the battle and resolutely blocked the attack.

The Fourteenth Division then went south...

finally……

Two Japanese divisions entered the east side of Weishan Lake.

The envisioned Plan C has basically taken shape. Inside the pocket, there are two divisions of the Japanese invaders.

However, Yanzhou and Zoucheng were still in the hands of the Japanese invaders. The 14th Japanese Division took over the defense. Its main force was between Yanzhou and Tai'an.

To the north of Tai'an, there is the Japanese 26th Division stationed in Jinan.

"The Japanese are very cunning." Yu Xuezhong frowned, "Not all of them entered the ambush circle."

"Yes." Sun Tongxuan was a little anxious, "The formation that the Japanese have set up now can be used to advance and attack, and to retreat and defend. It is difficult to handle."

The two were silent for a moment. Then their eyes fell on Zhang Yong.

Zhang Yong is closing his eyes to rest.

In fact, I was waiting silently.

Almost there.

The order from the high command should have arrived.

After sitting around for a few days, prepare to continue fighting.

really……

"Report!"

"Urgent message from the headquarters!"

The Director of Communications personally sent two telegrams.

One copy was for the Third Army, requiring the Third Army to accept Zhang Yong's temporary command.

One copy was given to Zhang Yong, asking him to immediately concentrate his forces, occupy Yanzhou and Zoucheng, and cut off the route of the Japanese fifth and tenth divisions escaping north.

At the same time, it blocked the Japanese 14th Division from moving south and prevented it from cooperating with the Japanese invaders to break through.

In short, it is to seal the throat with a knife.

The big job is coming.

Pretty much what I expected.

The Japanese invaders were not idiots and could not appear completely according to the ideal situation.

They were not so stupid that all three divisions huddled together and entered the encirclement. Kenji Doihara was on the outside to support them.

"Look!"

Zhang Yong handed the telegram to the two of them.

Then he sent someone to call Tuoba Leihuo, deputy commander of the 55th Army.

Mo Dehong has not reached the 55th Army yet. He can only be supported by Tuoba Leihuo. There is no problem.

"We must defend the front lines of Jining, Yanzhou and Zoucheng."

"Yes."

"We are under attack from both sides."

"Yes."

"The total length of the defense line is about sixty kilometers."

"Yes."

Sun Tongxuan said nothing. Yu Xuezhong and Zhang Yong were discussing.

Zhang Yong already has a basic understanding of the situation of the Third Army. There are about 50,000 people with combat effectiveness.

The sixty-kilometer defense line is neither long nor short.

If we were facing an ordinary enemy, 50,000 people would definitely be enough. A thousand people per kilometer!

However, facing three Japanese divisions at the same time is not enough.

Even adding the Second Cavalry Army is not enough.

The combat power of the Japanese invaders of the three divisions was enough to destroy the defenses of any section of the national army.

"There is also the 68th Army."

"Then do it!"

Yu Xuezhong had no objections and made up his mind.

The high command put Zhang Yong in Jining to do exactly this.

The place with the greatest pressure in the entire encirclement is the Yanzhou and Jining lines.

Not only must the pocket be tied, but also the enemy must be prevented from loosening the pocket.

There are enemies in front and behind.

Attacked on the abdomen and back. Attacked from both sides.

It could be swallowed up by Japanese invaders at any time.

Except for Zhang Yong, no one can undertake such a dangerous task.

Once successful, what awaits Zhang Yong will undoubtedly be the fourth Guoguang Medal or a higher honor.

No one will have an opinion.

Because no one else can do it except him.

Now, it is basically acquiesced that the title of the most powerful general in the national army must be Commissioner Zhang Da.

"Report!"

Another telegram from the headquarters arrived.

Zhang Yong was ordered to take control of the Yanzhou and Zoucheng lines before noon on March 14.

"Today is March 11th." Yu Xuezhong frowned.

Three days is actually not much time.

This is an attack!

The Japanese invaders occupied Yanzhou and Zoucheng.

Two strongholds need to be conquered in succession, and the strongholds are still relatively solidly defended.

The orders are all cold and cold, but if you want to capture two strongholds in a row, the battle will definitely become fierce.

The Japanese invaders will definitely be aware of the national army's intentions and then resist stubbornly.

Enemies in the south will move north for reinforcements.

Enemies in the north will attack south.

The national army was caught in the middle, with enemies behind it, and had to attack the enemy. One can imagine the difficulty.
To be continued...
