    The reaction of the Sulu Theater was as expected by Li Guoyao. He knew that Yu Xuezhong and others would not miss such a good opportunity, so after receiving the telegram from the Sulu Theater Commander's Department, Li Guoyao no longer paid attention to the battle on the northern front.  Instead, he was wholeheartedly preparing to take over Xuzhou City.

    On the afternoon of July 1, the special operations team sent a telegram stating that they had all sneaked into Xuzhou City and figured out the strength of the Japanese and puppet troops in the city.

    After investigation, there is currently a complete infantry brigade and a military police unit of the Japanese army in Xuzhou City. There is also a puppet infantry regiment that has just been formed for less than a month, with a number of about 800 people.

    Li Guoyao secretly calculated that a complete infantry brigade of the Japs would have about a thousand people, and the gendarmerie would not have many soldiers. Most of them would be a squadron of about 200 people. Based on this calculation, the total strength of the Japanese and puppet troops in Xuzhou City would be 2,000 people.  up and down.

    After feeling confident, Li Guoyao immediately called Chen Jianzhong and others over to discuss the battle plan.

    After listening to Li Guoyao¡¯s enemy report, Chen Jianzhong and others were excited!

    In an important military town like Xuzhou, the Japanese army has always stationed no less than one infantry regiment. Adding in the miscellaneous troops, there will be at least 5,000 troops.

    But now that the main force is moving north to reinforce the front-line battle in Zaozhuang, there are only so few troops left in Gouri's urban area.

    More importantly, less than half of the two thousand people are newly formed puppet troops. As we all know, this puppet army can only fight with favorable winds. When encountering a tough battle, these turtles will lose their temper. The little devils count on them to defend the city.  , that¡¯s a bit whimsical.

    "Hahaha! In Xuzhou City, which is so big, all the Japanese soldiers combined are just over a thousand. It seems that we will definitely win this battle!" Chen Jianzhong said with a smile.

    "Who says it's not the case? I thought there were at least three to five thousand people. It seems that God is also helping us!" Zhou Hu said.

    "Oh my god, it's obvious that the little devil fell into the commander's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain. It was our commander who had the upper hand and the little devil didn't lose unjustly!"

    "Hahaha, Lao Zhang, when did you learn to flatter me"

    Seeing the excitement among everyone, Li Guoyao smiled and said, "Okay, you guys, don't be too happy now. The number of enemies in Xuzhou City is indeed not as high as we expected, but as the attacking party, we are not at all risky.  No."

    "Commander, we are stronger than the Japs, plus it's a surprise attack, what's the risk?"

    Li Guoyao pointed to the military map spread out on the table and said: "Look, everyone, this is Xuzhou. Although there is no danger to defend, it is not very far from Zaozhuang and Yixian. Now Zaozhuang is a big powder keg, little devils  There are at least seven or eight thousand people in Zaozhuang City, and if we cannot resolve the battle within two hours, reinforcements from the Japs will arrive."

    "You all know the combat effectiveness of the Japs, especially the Japanese 21st Division stationed in Xuzhou. Although this division is a third-class division with a three-unit system, it is not a second-line garrison force. It is a real first-line field force.  The fighting power is very strong, it is still very difficult to capture Xuzhou City within two hours!"

    Hearing Li Guoyao¡¯s words, the relaxed expressions on everyone¡¯s faces suddenly disappeared!

    They all know what Li Guoyao said. After fighting the Japanese army for more than two years, they have a clear understanding of the enemy they face.

    Although the level of the Little Devil is not considered the strongest in the world, there is still a big gap compared to the German and Soviet troops at the same time. No one can deny this.

    But on the other hand, Japan has been beating the Chinese army for so many years, not because the Japanese army is strong, but because the Chinese army is weak.

    From a global perspective, the Japanese army's equipment should be below the average level of the great powers, so neither the Central Army nor the local forces should underestimate the little devil.

    ¡° If the German Arms Division in 1937 was the pinnacle of the Nationalist Government¡¯s Army, then it was only on par with Japan in terms of hardware, and there was still a big gap in terms of the quality of the soldiers.

    There is no problem with the fighting will and execution of Chinese soldiers, but they are far inferior to Japanese soldiers in terms of modern tactics and the cultural level of the soldiers.  For example, at least the Japanese soldiers are literate, know what electricity is, and know how to use light and heavy weapons together.

    Therefore, even if he now besieges a city with no dangerous fortifications with a force several times that of the enemy, Li Guoyao would not dare to take it lightly!

    "Commander, tell us what to do, we will all listen to you!" Chen Jianzhong said loudly.

    "Commander, give the order!"

    Li Guoyao nodded and said immediately: "Pass this order to me: the first officer of the cavalry brigade."As soon as night falls, the team heads to Jiangzhuang Town in the northeast of Xuzhou. There is an important stronghold of the Japanese army there and a complete infantry squad of the Japanese army is stationed there. Your task is to besiege it.  But remember, don't wear our military uniforms, put on civilian clothes and pretend to be guerrillas.  "

    "Don't worry, Commander, I promise to complete the mission. It's just a small stronghold. The battle will be resolved within half an hour!" Chen Jianzhong said loudly.

    "Who asked you to capture the Japanese stronghold?" Li Guoyao said with a frown.

    "Ah, aren't we going to capture the Japanese stronghold?" Chen Jianzhong asked in surprise.

    "Of course not. Your mission is to fight without breaking. You have to hurt the Japanese in the stronghold, but don't annihilate them all. Ask them to ask for help from the Japanese troops in the city, and move them all out of the city." Li Guoyao said.

    "Commander, are you planning to surround the site for reinforcements?"

    ¡°Well, it¡¯s natural to encircle the point with reinforcements, but your task is to encircle the point. As for the reinforcements, I will leave it to other troops!¡±

    "yes!"

    Then Li Guoyao continued: "In addition to Jiangzhuang Town, there are many Japanese strongholds outside Xuzhou City. The task of your cavalry unit is to disguise yourself as guerrillas or the Eighth Route Army, constantly harass the Japanese strongholds, and attract all the Japanese troops out of the city.  .¡±

    "yes!"

    "Send a report to Lu Wenlong and ask them to allocate half of their troops and rush to the northern front after nightfall to obey my command. The remaining troops must move to the south gate of Xuzhou City before three o'clock in the morning. A special force will be there to respond to them.  .As soon as they saw the signal flares in the city, they immediately attacked the city. After the city was broken, they immediately pounced on important strongholds such as stations, barracks, and arsenals that were heavily guarded by the Japanese troops."

    "yes!"

    "The remaining troops will be under my command. After the battle starts, we will attack from the north gate and quickly seize control of the city gate. Then we will attack all the way south and attack the Japanese in the city together with Lu Wenlong's troops. Remember, we have no control over this battle.  Time takes in prisoners, so you yourselves know what to do!¡±

    "yes!"

    ?¡­

    Following Li Guoyao's order, more than 10,000 Nationalist troops outside Xuzhou City took action one after another. The atmosphere instantly became solemn, and it seemed that it was about to explode.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
