"By the way, Master, Shimada Taro from Yangzhou Butcher was captured by the commander of the Nanjing garrison!"

Afeng watched Zhang Tianhao close his eyes, and while driving, he told him about Colonel Shimada.

"Haha, he should have died a long time ago, but now he died early!"

"Yeah, he should have died a long time ago!"

Afeng also laughed twice, and it was obvious that he was quite happy that Shimada Taro was caught.

He also didn't know what Zhang Tianhao did, but he directly sent Taro Shimada to the military court. This was really beyond his expectations.

"Nothing, just a little estrangement, it's just a small matter."

Zhang Tianhao did not open his eyes, but replied in a very light tone.

"Master, we are training another group of students. Do you want to go and take a look? This group of students will soon graduate and will be ready for use."

"All right!"

"It's just that, Master, there are 23 female students this time. When do you think we can go there?"

"Tomorrow morning!"

"it is good!"

……

With the capture of Taro Shimada, the Subei Army officially advanced into Yangzhou and began to attack Yangzhou.

However, the Japanese troops in Yangzhou, perhaps because Taro Shimada was captured, had only two garrison battalions to face the attack of Zhang Tianhao's entire division.

In addition to the surrender of some Imperial Army troops, half of Yangzhou's territory was lost in two days.

In addition, outside the city of Xuzhou, the tank squadron and aircraft of the Subei Army officially joined the siege, making the entire battlefield boil like an oil pan.

As for the other three lines, there was no rush to attack. On the contrary, only small forces began to join in and began to look for opportunities to eliminate the Japanese army's manpower.

Although this method is a bit slow, it is still carried out according to the plan discussed by Zhang Tianhao, Chief of Staff Zhao, Zuo Mingming and others.

Although this method is a bit slow, many troops have been trained in this way before, and the speed of advancement is not slow.

Perhaps because of the secret attacks that lasted for a year or two, the Japanese troops in Xuzhou did not seem to be as numerous as Zhang Tianhao had imagined.

Although it looks grand, the battle for Xuzhou is not that exaggerated.

Zhang Tianhao was also paying close attention to the battles in Xuzhou and Yangzhou, and was quite relieved about the result.

After all, while one division was attacking, the other division was serving as a reserve, actively preparing there and ready to pounce and bite off a piece of meat from the Japanese army at any time.

……

"Baga, baga, how dare Zhang Tianhao send troops to attack Xuzhou, Yangzhou, and three cities in Anhui. Does he want to get rich overnight?"

In the Central China Garrison Headquarters, Commander Asaka looked at the battle report he received, his face was ashen. After all, his prestige was challenged once again.

"How many troops has the Subei Army deployed now?"

"Your Excellency the Commander, we have only deployed four divisions of troops, and there are also five divisions of reserve troops. Not only that, but the county garrisons in various places have also been officially transformed into regular troops and are undergoing emergency training."

"At the same time, they began recruiting new soldiers for training to become the new garrison regiment."

"Baga, Baga!"

You know, even the new garrison regiment has a certain military training foundation. As long as it is pulled out, it can be put into battle at any time. Once it has formal training for half a month, it can be directly deployed to the battlefield.

"Negotiation, must negotiate!"

"Commander, is it difficult to explain to the base camp?"

"It's hard to explain, but you have to explain. Otherwise, our two divisions in Xuzhou might be wiped out. Do you know that I got the news that the Subei Army has mobilized three more divisions and is secretly moving towards Xuzhou. In less than three days, they might be outflanked. By then, the garrison division in Xuzhou might be wiped out."

“This, this…” The intelligence chief felt numb upon hearing this.

He, the chief of intelligence, had not received the news yet, but the commander had already received the news, which made him feel a sense of crisis.

If there are major problems with intelligence, then he should not be the director of the Intelligence Department.

"I'm sorry, it's my fault. I didn't manage the people well and didn't do my job well."

"This is not your fault, it's Zhang Tianhao who is too cunning!"

"report!"

Just then, a signalman came in with a document in his hand and immediately handed it to Commander Asaka.

Chaoxiang opened the file in her hand, just glanced at it, and her expression became extremely ugly.

"Commander, what's wrong?"

"The war machine in northern Jiangsu has started, and all villages and towns have begun to strengthen training. All personnel, except for necessary production, are fully trained and may be sent to the battlefield at any time."

"Damn it, is this Zhang Tianhao a lunatic? What good will he get from doing this!"

"I don't know. Maybe he is preparing in advance to prevent us from attacking him from multiple directions."

Commander Asaka also smiled at himself, and then immediately gave a bitter smile.

"In ten days, at most, Zhang Tianhao can expand his army to 500,000. 500,000!"

Even Commander Asaka felt his scalp tingling. The thing he was most worried about had happened.

"We must negotiate with the Subei Army Group, send people, and negotiate immediately to minimize our losses."

"Hi!"

……

With the outbreak of the war, the nation's attention was once again drawn to northern Jiangsu.

After all, the Subei Army Group took the initiative to attack the Japanese army, which also gave confidence to many people across the country.

Sitting in the teahouse, listening to the Shanghai residents whispering about their analysis of this war, Zhang Tianhao just smiled.

"Do you think the Subei Army can defeat the Japanese this time?"

"I don't know, but I believe in the Subei Army. After all, the Subei Army fought the Japanese. At least it can be said that he dared to take this step, which is good news for us."

"Yes, I also want to join the Subei Army. I will go to the battlefield and fight the Japanese devils. I am so angry."

"Haha, you're over 30 years old and still want to fight. Forget it!"

"Why, I can't do it? I'm very strong. I don't have to be afraid of fighting. It's just death. I've had enough of the bullying of the Japanese."

"Don't say too much. In case the walls have ears, your voices should be kept down."

"Alas, my son and daughter heard that the Subei Group Army was fighting the Japanese invaders, so they sneaked away yesterday, saying they were going to Subei. I'm the only one at home now, what's the point?"

"Don't tell me, I also heard the news that many students have organized themselves and are preparing to go to northern Jiangsu to participate in the anti-Japanese war. Zhang Tianhao is really a true hero, he does what he says."

"Yes, who would have thought that the Jiao Tuan Army in northern Jiangsu, which had been silent all this time, would be the first to sound the clarion call for a counterattack."

"Yes, this time, we really misjudged it. We thought Chongqing would be the first to take action, but we didn't expect that the Subei Group Army would take action first."

"Alas, it's all the fault of the Japanese. We were living a good life, but they had to come to China to cause trouble and kill countless people. I'm so angry."

"Tomorrow, I will pack up and prepare to go to northern Jiangsu to make a living. It's better to go to northern Jiangsu than to stay in Shanghai. An old friend there wrote to me, saying that land was distributed in northern Jiangsu. Although it was hard at first, his family now has a certain amount of surplus food, so at least he won't starve."

"Well, I'll go ask the brothers at the dock to see if they want to go?" (End of this chapter)
