    Heze. 111th Division Headquarters.

    This was originally the headquarters of the 57th Army, but since Miao Chengliu was driven away, it has become the headquarters of the 111th Division.

    The fighting situation on the front line in southwestern Shandong has been very bad these days. It has been three days since the Japanese army attacked southwestern Shandong. Although the national army fought back desperately, there was a huge disparity in strength. The troops on the northern and southern fronts were defeated by the Japanese army.

    At present, the two Japanese armies on the northern front are not far from Heze City. The 110th Division from the Juye direction has just arrived at Shatu Town, while the main force of the 10th Division has arrived at Penglou Town. The two divisions are about to encircle Heze.

    Under this situation, the mood within the 111th Division was a bit unstable. Everyone knew that Heze itself was not conducive to defense. Once surrounded by the Japanese army, the possibility of being wiped out was more than 80%.

    Therefore, many people suggested that Commander Chang withdraw from Heze to preserve the strength of the troops as the first priority.

    But Commander Chang knew that Shangfeng would never allow them to evacuate Heze. This was not only because of the issue of face, but also because the superiors always believed that with the reinforcements of their 57th Army and Han Deqin's headquarters, they could at least fight with Xiao  Devil, try your best.

    Well, those people in the Military Commission have always taken it for granted. They don¡¯t understand the situation on the front line, but they like to point fingers at the war on the front line.

    "But as a commander, Commander Chang has to consider not only the victory or defeat of the battle, but also the life and death of the entire division's officers and soldiers.

    After all, these brothers followed him as the division commander to the battlefield, so what reason did he have for not bringing them back alive!

    But the current situation is really not conducive to defending the city, so whether to defend or withdraw has become a big problem for Commander Chang!

    However, just as Commander Chang frowned, a major officer hurriedly walked in, holding a piece of telegram in his hand.

    "Master, urgent telegram!"

    "What happened?" Teacher Chang asked in a deep voice.

    "That's a good thing, Commander Li is coming!" the combat staff officer said immediately.

    "Commander Li? Are you talking about Li Guoyao?" Commander Chang asked in surprise.

    "Yes, apart from that one, there is no military commander named Li in the entire Shandong region!"

    "You said Li Guoyao is coming, is he coming to Heze?"

    "Yes, according to the telegram they sent to our department, Commander Li is already on the way and is expected to arrive in Heze tonight!"

    Teacher Chang took the telegram and looked at it. He immediately showed a smile, and then laughed loudly and said: "We are saved, we are saved!"

    "Master, what do you mean by this? Is this Commander Li?"

    "Well, yes, the Jiujiu Army should help us, otherwise Commander Li would not take such a big risk to come here!"

    "Then what should we do now?"

    "Pass my order and let the troops on the front line hold back. We can't let Commander Li look down on us. We have to show the momentum of the Northeast Army!" Commander Chang said loudly.

    "yes!"

    Although the combat staff officer left, Commander Chang's excitement could not calm down for a long time.

    To be honest, when he sent a report to the Jiujiu Army asking for help two days ago, he was not very sure. He just had the idea of ??treating a dead horse as a living horse.

    It would be great if the Jiujiu Army could help them, but it would be reasonable not to. After all, they no longer belong to the order of battle in the Sulu War Zone, and there is really no need to sacrifice troops for Southwest Shandong.

    "But I didn't expect that Li Guoyao would come to Heze at this tense moment of war and danger. It was obvious that Li Guoyao was ready to take action, otherwise he would not put himself in such a dangerous situation.

    For Li Guoyao, a rising star in the Northeast Army, Commander Chang admired him from the bottom of his heart!

    When the Northeast Army entered the pass, there were more than 200,000 people. Counting the troops stationed in the Ping-Tianjin area, there were at least 300,000.

    ¡°So many troops were divided and used by the higher-ups. Over the past few years, the Northeastern Army was divided into pieces. At this time, it was difficult for Northeastern officers to get ahead.  In recent years, not to mention lieutenant generals and major generals, there have been few officers at the colonel level.

    However, in this environment, Li Guoyao suddenly rose from a major staff officer, and in just two or three years, he became the leading god of war in the country, killing all the little devils without their armor.

    With him and his troops participating in the war, Commander Chang felt that even at the worst, he could draw a tie with the Japs!

    He had not thought about how many results he would achieve. For him at present, being able to keepThis is already a big deal in Southwest Shandong

    Dividing line

    Time in combat always passes very slowly, almost like a year. Ever since he learned that Li Guoyao was coming to Heze in the morning, Commander Chang had been waiting and looking forward to it, and his heart was like that of a cat's claw!

    However, the sun never sets this time, and Mr. Chang is almost irritated by waiting. He wants to fly directly into the sky and drop the sun from the top of the western mountain!

    After finally waiting until after six o'clock in the afternoon, they finally received the latest telegram from Li Guoyao, saying that the troops had passed Luling Town and could reach Heze City in up to an hour.

    After receiving the telegram, Commander Chang did not dare to neglect and immediately summoned all the middle and senior officers in the headquarters to line up at the west gate to welcome Li Guoyao's arrival!

    The moon is above the willow branches, and people are meeting after dusk!

    By the time Li Guoyao and others arrived at Heze City, the sun was setting and the moon was in the sky!

    From a distance, he saw a group of people waiting eagerly outside the gate of Heze City. Li Guoyao knew which leader of the 111th Division was waiting for him. Without any pretense, he just slapped his horse and ran over!

    After meeting, there will be a brief exchange of pleasantries, but everyone knows that these are not normal times, and there is not so much care.

    After a while of conversation, under the leadership of Commander Chang, a group of people returned to the city and settled down at the headquarters of the 111th Division.

    Since I was on the road all day, I ate some dry food when I was hungry and drank some cold water when I was thirsty. So after settling down, Teacher Chang immediately ordered people to prepare meals for Li Guoyao and others, and held a banquet for them to cleanse themselves.

    "Compared with the reception banquet at the Hebei-Cha War Zone Headquarters, this banquet of the 111th Division was much simpler. There were seven or eight people at a table, a total of five or six dishes, including meat and vegetables, comfortable but not ostentatious.

    Since we had to talk about something next, neither party drank. The entire banquet was filled with tea instead of wine!

    Having had enough wine and food, Li Guoyao arrived at the combat headquarters under the leadership of Commander Chang and others!

    After entering the door, Li Guoyao went straight to the terrain sand table not far away. Without the introduction by Commander Chang and others, Li Guoyao could see the troop layout of the 57th Army and the Japanese army's offensive intention just by looking at the signs on the sand table!

    After watching for a while in front of the sand table, Li Guoyao asked Mr. Chang: "Old Chang, how long can you hold on now?"

    "I'm afraid the northern front won't last long. Firstly, it's because our troops are far smaller than the Japanese army, and secondly, our firepower and morale are not as good as the enemy's. According to our division's estimate, the Japanese army will arrive at noon tomorrow at the latest.  Below Heze City!"

    Then Commander Chang continued: "As for the southern front, the situation is not bad. The reinforcements from Han Deqin's department have arrived at the southern front this afternoon and have reinforced Shanxian County. They even exchanged fire with the Japanese advance troops.  !¡±

    "Currently, the Japanese troops in Shan County have retreated. They seem to be waiting for the Japs in Feng County, Pei County and other places. They should not be able to capture Shan County for a while."

    Li Guoyao nodded and said, "How long can you hold on without reinforcements?"

    "No more than three days at most, because once something happens to Heze City, other places will not be able to defend it at all!"

    "Well, how do you want us to help you, and what are the benefits?" Li Guoyao asked again.

    Hearing Li Guoyao¡¯s words, Mr. Chang fell into deep thought for an instant!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
