The Japanese army raided Anqing, shattering the dream of peace for many people.

Although the Japanese army chose to raid Anqing in extremely bad weather, it was precisely because of this that no one expected it.

There was a lively battle in the front and a peaceful sing in the rear. For some, war and death seemed to never come to their heads.

The garrison forces of the Anhui Provincial Government were very empty, and the defensive troops were almost at a loss. By the evening, the Japanese vanguard had already occupied Anqing Airport in the eastern suburbs of the city.

How was this battle fought?

After hearing the news, Lao Jiang was furious and immediately expressed his desire to severely punish Yang Sen, the commander of the 27th Army, who was unfavorable.

Yang Sen also felt unfair. He really led his troops in Shucheng and blocked the Sakai Detachment of the 6th Japanese Division heading south from Hefei on the front line of Tongcheng. He used all his troops to use, and his troops were not enough to make ends meet, so he ignored the defense of his old nest Anqing. But when he received an report from Anqing and hurriedly led the troops back, he was already one step too late.

The Japanese army tore open the true face of "pseudo-peace" and announced that it would advance west along the Yangtze River in China, with the goal directly aimed at Wuhan.

Of course, Japan himself did not forget to pour dirty water on the Chinese, saying that this time the battle to the Yangtze River westward was initiated by China.

It is a retaliatory act of Chinese intelligence agencies in Shanghai recently assassinating important imperial generals.

Such absurd excuse can be said, and it is so shameless.

If it was really a retaliatory attack that was launched for this reason, then what was the key attack of the Japanese army to launch an attack on northern Henan before?

What reason do they explain it? While singing the song of peace, they shouted and shouted to fight and kill?

Now it is even more shameless. Because in an assassination, the so-called retaliatory "war" was launched before he could figure out who the murderer was. This senior general who formulated the Japanese army's strategy was too uneasy.

This is simply an excuse. As long as you have a brain, you will understand it at a glance. Even if there is no assassination, they will be very good at finding other excuses and are very high-sounding. This is a long-planned war.

Those who were deceived were all like a loss of their parents and cried bitterly. How could such a civilized country do such a thing?

"It's too much!"

With bad news, the guards who specialize in serving Lao Jiang's daily life have cleaned up the broken glasses several times.

This kind of glass cup is still imported from abroad and cannot be made in China. It made Chiang Kai-shek so angry that he fell seven or eight times. He couldn't have fallen so many in the past year?

"Where did Tang Keqin go?"

"Captain Tang said that there have been heavy rains in northern Anhui, the roads are muddy, the troops have difficulty marching, and lack raincoats and rain gear. It will take at least two to three days for the troops to arrive at the battlefield." Lin Wei wiped the sweat channel on his forehead.

"No, I'll arrive within one day, otherwise our military law will deal with him!"

"yes."

North Henan Administrative Office.

"Brother, based on the frequency and number of takeoffs of the Japanese army in the past half month and the observation points in northern Henan, we have determined that the Japanese army has built a field airport in Texas. The planes that took off and bombed Xinxiang in the past few days took off from this field airport."

"Texas, that's a key place for the Japanese army to defend heavily. It's not easy to destroy this field airport."

"Yes, this field airport is a bit far away for us, and we have not yet figured out the specific location, but this airport poses great threat to us and has affected our progress in restoring the Xinzheng Railway."

"It seems that we have to find a way to knock it out." Leng Feng nodded. In the past few days, he had clearly felt that the density of Japanese planes bombing Xinxiang increased.

Moreover, the plane flew from the north, so he judged that the Japanese must have built a forward airport in some place.

Because there is no air force support, the air defense firepower is not very strong. During the Japanese air strikes, the New Army was always passively beaten.

"Brother, that's what I think. Can we apply our tactics of occupying Yanzhou Airport?"

"Do you want to bring people over, attack the airport, and then drive the Japanese plane back?" Leng Feng asked in surprise.

"No, I have learned a painful lesson. I believe that the Japanese army will be careful to defend the field airport, so I plan to destroy this field airport directly."

"First of all, you determine its location, defense power and other information, go deep into the enemy's backbone to fight without any support, how to destroy the airport, and how to retreat safely, have you considered these?"

"Invade in disguise and wait for an opportunity to launch a raid."

"You make a plan according to this idea, take into account the required personnel and weapons details, and discuss it at the combat meeting before making a decision." Leng Feng ordered.

"Okay." Cong Hu agreed.

Since the Japanese army has taken action, it means that history has not changed because a butterfly flapped its small wings.

History is still moving forward with its specific laws.

"Hey, Lao Luo, do you know everything?"

"Hehe, Lao Jiang called me and asked me to follow your command, but you must also have your own opinions and not blindly follow..."

Luo Yufeng smiled very much on the other end of the phone.

"He is just like this. If you like to do this, you just listen." Leng Feng smiled and said, "I am a new official. Are you here to pay a visit?"

"What, what big plans do you have?"

"We are considering that we can't help defending Wuhan for the time being, but we can't be idle either. The Japanese army's key offensive plan is targeted at me. It's not a rude thing to come but not to go. I, Leng Feng, are not a passive person to be beaten."

"Okay, when will I go there in one word, I'll go there right away."

"Just wait for my notification in the past or two days." Leng Feng said.

Jinxiang, the 68th Army Headquarters.

"Xi Luxi-Northern Henan Joint Command, what is this Chiang Kai-shek trying to do? Let me obey a boy who is still stingy?" After receiving a telegram from the military command, the commander Liu Ziliang was unbalanced.

"Soldier, Sun Yinting was Leng Guoguang's boss before. Now he has to obey other people's command. Now we only have these people and guns left, and we are still counting on people to pull us." Chief of Staff Huang Qiaosong said.

"Yes, military throne, we can point at others now."

"The military captain, a staff officer outside who claimed to be the New Army seeks his visit."

"It's coming to the door so soon, isn't it?" Everyone in the room was so shocked that they grew big.

"Chief Liu, Chief of Army Logistics Department Ding Chunqiu, General Staff of the New First Army Logistics Department."

"Staff General Ding, you Chief Leng is so fast. Just as he became the commander of the Joint Command, he sent someone to come and say, what combat orders have you issued to our 68th Army?"

"Combat order, what combat order?" Ding Chunqiu looked confused.

"Why are you doing if you don't bring the combat order?" Liu Ziliang was unhappy. Leng Guoguang was too arrogant and sent a staff officer casually. What does this mean?

"I was ordered to transport a batch of weapons and ammunition to your department," Ding Chunqiu explained.

"Send us weapons and ammunition?"

"Yes, the process of reorganization in northern Henan was there. We confiscated a batch of weapons and ammunition. Some of them were not used, so we thought about adding some combat power to the brothers on the front line. So, I took me to transport some to each unit one by one. I just came from the Third Army." Ding Chunqiu explained.

"Did you really give us weapons and ammunition?"

"Captain Liu, if you don't believe it, you can come out and have a look. Because you are the last one, there are only four trucks left, and you can probably equip a group."

Before he could finish his words, Liu Ziliang and the officers of the 68th Army rushed out.

Four trucks, two of them are equipped with weapons, and two of them are ammunition.

"This is for us. What are your conditions for you, Chief Leng?" Liu Ziliang still didn't believe that Leng Yan would be so generous.

"We Chief Leng said that anti-Japanese war is the business of all our Chinese people. As long as it is beneficial to the fight against Japan, there are no conditions."

"When I go back and report to you Chief Leng, just say that I, Liu Ziliang, just listen to his orders." Liu Ziliang is now short of weapons and ammunition.

Retreat all the way from Xuzhou, his troops were always behind the palace, fighting the most difficult and the losses were the greatest. Almost all heavy weapons were lost, half of the weapons were lost, and there was a shortage of ammunition.

If there is no supplement, I really don't know how to fight this battle.

"Captain Liu, why didn't I understand what you said..."

"You will understand."

Although it was an eliminated weapon, most of it could be used after removing some earth guns and cannons. Except for some of the good quality, it was left behind, and the remaining cold fronts were taken out to give favors.

Although the things were sent out, the debts of favors were owed. Whether it was Sun Yinting or Liu Ziliang, these people felt that Leng Feng had pulled them over in the most difficult time, so he would naturally cooperate very well in the next step of the arrangement and command.

On the evening of the 26th, news of the fall of Anqing Airport came.

The Japanese army's troops were already under Anqing City. It is said that Anqing City was in chaos, and the troops guarding the city were all wandering.

In the early morning of the 27th, the Japanese army captured Anqing City and a regiment of the defenders was defeated.

When the news came, there was a clamor. The Anhui Provincial Government was captured overnight, which was simply incredible.

How much effort did Zeng Guofan spend to capture Anqing City? Why did he easily occupy Anqing City with just a few hundred Japanese troops?

After Anqing was occupied by the Japanese army, Yang Sen's army was attacked from the back and forth, and was forced to retreat to Qianshan and Taihu line. Then, the Sakai Detachment of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army broke through the defense of Yang Sen's army and occupied Tongcheng.

After the two Japanese troops met on the ground and marched together, they advanced toward the frontier position of the Dabie Mountains.

The Japanese army opened the highway from Hefei to Anqing, so that the early strategic purpose of attacking Wuhan was achieved using Anqing as a springboard.

A large number of Japanese troops rode up the warships on Shuojiang River and gathered towards the Wuhu area. For a time, almost all the plaster flags were seen on the river surface of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

The intention of the Japanese army to attack Wuhan on a large scale has become very obvious.

At this time, Leng Feng decided to hold the first high-level military meeting of the Western Shandong-Northern Henan Joint Command in Xinxiang.

Those who attend the meeting must be commanders at the first level or above of the division. Leng Feng requires that all division commanders and army commanders must participate and shall not be absent or take leave for any reason.
