This was the second time that Hiroshi Takahashi had escaped back alone, but this time he also carried someone on his back.

Lieutenant Kogoro Matsumoto.

"Captain, what's wrong with Matsumoto-kun?"

"The Chinese hid snipers on the battlefield. Matsumoto Kwan was unfortunately shot and was loyal to the emperor's cause." Takahashi Hiroshi explained.

Sniper!

The rest of Takahashi Squadron took a breath of air conditioning. How could the Chinese be so cunning? After evacuating, there were still people left.

"Captain, what's the result? Did we kill Leng Yan King?"

"They took all the bodies away. It's hard to say now, but I feel that our actions may have failed this time." Hiroshi Takahashi said with a slightly frustrated expression.

Failed?

Everyone was silent, nearly one-third of the people died, even Matsumoto Kogoro died in battle, and even dispatched bombers. If the final mission failed, how could they go back and explain?

"Captain, maybe it's not what we imagined?" One of the soldiers under him suddenly said.

"Yes, captain, maybe we might kill King Leng Yan?"

Hiroshi Takahashi recalled himself. Although he always felt very accurate, he was a little suspicious at this time, after all, he had not seen it with his own eyes.

However, with such intensity of bombing, not many people should have survived, but when they arrived at the battlefield, they did not see a corpse except for the burning trucks and the mess. It was obvious that someone had cleaned the battlefield.

Who quickly approached the battlefield after the bombing and cleaned it so quickly?

Hiro Takahashi has rich combat experience and cleaned the battlefield so cleaned and in such a short time, he must be a very professional team.

Nearby, the nearest China J, is the 119th Division of the 68th Army of the G Democratic Party in Yutai. Could it be that they are not?

On August 2, the core position of Madang Changshan was lost, and less than 200 people, including Captain Bao Changyi, evacuated safely.

At this time, the reinforcements of the 167th Division led by Xue Weiying had not arrived yet.

When the news reached Wuhan, Chen Cixiu, commander-in-chief of the Ninth War Zone, urgently ordered the commander-in-chief of Wuhan garrison Luo Zhuoqing to personally supervise the command of Li Yunqing's 16th Army, Liu Duoquan's 49th Army, Huang Wei's 18th Army, etc. to counterattack on Xiangshan and Madang's front lines, and ordered "if the combat is ineffective and the former is inconsistent, the military law will be carried out immediately."

Leng Feng got up early in the morning and received a war report from Guo Weiquan.

"Military, it seems that it will be a matter of time before the Japanese army breaks through the fortress." Guo Weiquan said to Leng Feng.

"A soldier is a soldier, and a general is a nest. This Li Yunqi really deserves to be killed!"

"Report!"

"Come in!"

"Military captain, Deputy Commander-in-Chief Liu Ziliang is looking for a meeting."

Liu Ziliang came, Leng Feng was surprised and hurried out and saw a slightly rich middle-aged soldier. He saw him holding the seal and wearing the rank of lieutenant general.

"Hello, Chief Leng."

"Captain Liu, I should have visited you in Jinxiang, but I didn't expect you to come first. It's so rude!"

"Captain Leng is polite. As a subordinate, Ziliang should come to pay homage to the chief." Liu Ziliang said.

Although he was given the position of deputy commander-in-chief by the superiors, he was still a little dissatisfied. Leng Feng was too young, but he had no choice but to let others have the strength!

As long as his troops are still in Luxi, they can only rely on others. Otherwise, the remaining soldiers of less than 10,000 people will not be able to stop Japan's attack.

"Please talk inside." Leng Feng enthusiastically welcomed Liu Ziliang in.

"please!"

Tian Wenqi also came, he accompanied Liu Ziliang.

"I don't know what Chief Leng wants to see when he comes to Yutai?" As soon as Liu Ziliang sat down, he threw Leng Feng a difficult question.

Leng Feng was also stunned. He came over to take a look at the combat readiness of the front-line troops, and by the way, he learned about some of the situations of each unit, and had an intuitive understanding of the troops under his command.

"Fighting preparations, training, and the life of soldiers."

"Captain Leng is not a joke to come to see our Northwest Army, right?"

"Look at the joke, Commander Liu, where did you start?" Leng Feng felt strange. The 68th Army is now also a unit under his leadership. What jokes can be seen with his own troops?

When Liu Ziliang heard Leng Feng say this, his stern face relaxed slightly. He was actually afraid that Leng Feng would come over, point fingers at his troops, and interfere too much.

"Captain Liu, you are too careful. I am not here to interfere with your army's command, nor will I reorganize your army. I am here to see and help you solve practical problems." Leng Feng also saw that Liu Ziliang was worried that he wanted to annex his army. In fact, he had no such idea at all. This time he really came to see and understand the combat effectiveness of the troops below.

If he is not familiar with the actual situation of his troops, how can he formulate the next plan for combating Japan?

When Liu Ziliang and Tian Wenqi heard this, their faces were a little embarrassed, especially Tian Wenqi, who seemed to be even more embarrassed and blushed.

This is a big misunderstanding.

Leng Feng’s statement at the military camp yesterday was to win people’s hearts. Usually, he had to annex an army, and the best way was to win people’s hearts first.

Leng Feng's additional pension for the death soldiers is a means to win people's hearts, and the further is to incorporate and eat the 68th Army.

After all, under the Joint Command of Western Shandong and Northern Henan, the 68th Army is the weakest, and it is the one with no tough backstage.

"Captain Leng, our 68th Army lacks clothing, food, guns and bullets. Can you help us solve it?" Liu Ziliang asked.

"Yes." Leng Feng said with great certainty.

"Be serious?" A sharp light flashed in Liu Ziliang's eyes.

"A gentleman's word."

"Hand a quick whip!"

"Okay, Chief Leng is a cheerful person. As long as Chief Leng can replenish food and ammunition for our army, the 68th Army is willing to obey Chief Leng's orders, and only the leader of the horse is following." Liu Ziliang stood up and said loudly.

"Liu Juncheng is so serious."

"I don't know how Chief Leng can solve the problem of food and ammunition in our 68th Army?" Liu Ziliang asked next. He was not the one who just fooled him and got on the boat.

"I can transfer a batch from northern Henan to the 68th Army, but there is only one way to do this problem with weapons, equipment and ammunition." Leng Feng said.

"What's the solution?"

"Snatch it from the Japanese army." Leng Feng said heavily.

"Snatch the Japanese army's weapons, Chief Leng, I heard it right. We are now defeated by the Japanese army and can only barely defend them. Without the strength to fight back, how can we grab weapons from the Japanese army?"

"Captain Liu has never thought of taking back the lost Fengcheng and Peixian?" Leng Feng looked at Liu Ziliang calmly.

"Retake Fengcheng and Pei County!" Liu Ziliang said with a moving expression.

"Does Chief Liu think or not?"

"Of course I thought about it." Liu Ziliang blurted out that Fengcheng and Peixian were thrown in his hands. If this was retaken, it would definitely be different.

"Captain Liu, you must know the current situation. The Japanese army's strategic goal is to occupy Wuhan in a military manner and force the National Government to surrender, but this idea is futile. Even if they can occupy Wuhan, we will not surrender. We cannot directly participate in the Wuhan defense battle, but we can restrain the Japanese army in North China in western Shandong and eastern Henan, and even cut off the Jinpu Road that connects them again." Leng Feng said.

"Chief Leng plans to cut off the Jinpu Road and make the Japanese army in North China not connected with Central China?"

"That's right."

"But the existing troops we have, I'm afraid we can't do it?" Liu Ziliang expressed doubts that in the Fifth War Zone led by Li Delin, more than half of the elite troops of the National Army were gathered, but they failed to defend the strategic important city of Xuzhou.

Now most of the elite troops in the Fifth War Zone have been removed from the south, and the remaining troops have either been destroyed and continued to rest and regain their energy, or they have fought against Japan behind enemy lines and survived with difficulty.

"Once the Japanese army launches a full-scale attack on Wuhan, it will inevitably draw the Japanese army from North China. By that time, the Japanese army in Xuzhou will be reduced by at least half, and the Japanese army in Suxian, Bengbu and other places will also be transferred. By that time, it will be an excellent opportunity for us." Leng Feng explained.

Liu Ziliang understood Leng Feng's meaning, which was to take the opportunity of the Japanese army in Xuzhou to take the opportunity to go south and launch a battle plan for the regaining of the Longhai Line. Unexpectedly, it disrupted the deployment of the Japanese army, created obstacles for the Japanese army, dispersed the Japanese army's forces, and achieved the goal of restraining some of the Japanese army's forces.

This is indeed a good plan, but he found it difficult to cut off the Jinpu Road and recover lost territory, especially a military city like Xuzhou.

At least the current troops in western Shandong do not have this ability.

It is absolutely impossible to counterattack the Longhai Line or even recover Xuzhou based on the troops in western Shandong.

Even elite troops like the 8th Army can only maintain an unbeaten situation, not to mention that the 8th Army has had to rest after months of hard fighting.

The Japanese troops in Xuzhou and surrounding areas exceeded 30,000, according to the five-to-one combat power comparison between China and Japan.

These 30,000 Japanese troops can compete with at least 150,000 elite national troops.

The country in western Shandong was facing the two armies of the 68th Army and the 8th Army, plus the local anti-Japanese armed forces and the scattered G army troops, with only about 50,000 or 60,000 people.

Except for the new 38th Division of the Eighth Army, the equipment of other troops is far inferior to that of the Japanese army.

It would be nice to be able to block the Japanese attack on Shandong. If you want to counterattack, unless the New Army is deployed.

Legend has it that one army of the New First Army is enough to fight against an elite field division of the Japanese army. If this is true, the Japanese troops in Xuzhou will only look like a division, and not a complete division.

This may be a bit certain.

But fighting is not just a simple superimposed calculation. The New First Army must be stationed in northern Henan and beware of the Japanese independent mixed 2nd Brigade stationed in southern Hebei.

If a single move moves the whole body, even if the New First Army can remove troops and enter the battle in western Shandong, there will probably not be too many troops.

Therefore, Liu Ziliang did not think Leng Feng could achieve his ideas, and he was even a little ambitious.

Of course, from the bottom of his heart, he still admires Leng Feng. At least Leng Feng is a person who really wants to fight against Japan and dares to think and do.

Young people need encouragement, but they cannot get too hot.

"Sir Leng, do you want to say something about Ziliang?"

"Chief Liu is a senior in the army, and I am willing to listen to the teachings." Leng Feng nodded.

"At present, our army still won fewer and more defeats in battles with the Japanese. Although we won a battle like Taierzhuang and Guide, we eventually lost the city. Therefore, our current strategy is still based on defense. As for attack, I want to wait until the balance of enemy and us changes before considering it. What does Chief Leng think?"
