Chapter 621: The Future of Lu Xi and the Third Army
"Has it started over there?"
"It has begun. Brigade Commander Luo just called, and more than 150 artillery fired together. The scene was the first time I saw it in my life. It was so shocking!"
"What's this? You will see more grand and more shocking scenes in the future." Leng Feng smiled slightly. These people had never seen the war scenes in later generations, and these were small scenes.
"The 39th Brigade should have landed in Zhongzi Temple, right?"
"Just arrived, I got along with the local anti-Japanese guerrillas and was opening a landing ground. There is a ready-made dock there, and the speed will be faster."
"Well, which unit arrived first?"
"The 391st Regiment, Captain Qiao arrived first."
"It turns out that it is Qiao Guoliang, the desperate man, which is in line with his character." Leng Feng smiled, "When will Deputy Brigade Commander Zhang arrive?"
"It should be soon. The 39th Brigade Brigade and the 40th Brigade are operating together. We have many ships, so it is probably right behind."
"Report!"
"Speak of Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive." Leng Feng laughed, turned around, and shouted to the door, "Come in!"
"Teacher!" Zhang Zhongling and Dai Xu walked in together and saluted Leng Feng. (I made a mistake in the previous article. The deputy brigade commander of the 37th Brigade is an old regiment commander and has been modified)
"Xiao Xia, bring two stools here. I haven't settled down yet, so it's a bit messy!" Leng Feng greeted Xiao Xia.
Xiao Xia, who was carrying documents, left the work at hand and quickly brought two stools over.
"How is it? Is the road going smoothly?"
"Some soldiers were seasick, but it was not a big deal and it was not too serious. The local methods of the villagers were still effective." Dai Xu smiled.
Both of them are good-looking, and their straight military uniforms make them look more heroic. Although Leng Feng is not bad, his face is much more ordinary.
"Yanzhou has always been a major military center. How to fight? I want to hear your thoughts." Leng Feng said.
"There are nearly 2,000 Japanese troops in Yanzhou. Although they are mainly garrison troops, their combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated. In addition, Yanzhou's city defense is strong, if it is a strong attack, it will be difficult to take it down." Dai Xu said.
"The division is strong in Yanzhou City, but once Jining is surrounded, Yanzhou is close to you and will inevitably send troops to reinforce us. We can siege the city to fight for assistance, which will make it much easier for us." Zhang Zhongling thought for a while.
Leng Feng smiled slightly. What Zhang Zhongling said was exactly what he was thinking. If you want to quickly take down Yanzhou, which is heavily guarded by heavy troops, it is not possible to rely on surprise attacks alone. You also pay attention to tactics and win at the lowest cost!
There is no doubt that the battle to siege Jining will begin first. With the current troops in Jining City, they will definitely seek help from Yanzhou at that time.
Siege the city and attack aid is undoubtedly a wonderful move. At least more than half of the troops in Yanzhou City can be transferred. In this way, the pressure to attack Yanzhou will be much smaller.
"Deputy Brigade Commander Zhang's method is very good, I agree." Dai Xu said.
"Well, my idea is to surround the site to attack and support. This is the most labor-saving way to reduce unnecessary casualties, the most labor-saving and time-saving way. However, what if the Japanese army in Yanzhou does not come out?" Leng Feng asked.
"this……"
"Then you have to attack hard. Although this is a bit more expensive, if you can take over Yanzhou, the entire battle situation will undergo earth-shaking changes."
"Well, Chief Li has launched a full-scale counterattack. We must speed up our pace. Once the Japanese troops in Jinan City move south, we will be passive!"
"Yes, Master, don't worry, our two brigades have more than 10,000 people, but we still can't take one Yanzhou?" Zhang Zhongling stood up and said confidently.
The equipment of the Honorary First Division is almost the best in the entire ZG now. After another month of rest, it can be said that the troops are strong and the morale is as strong as rainbows. It is really not scary to deal with the local garrison troops of the Japanese army!
"Zhong Ling, sit down, sit down, I'm not worried that we can't take Yanzhou, I want to take Yanzhou with the smallest time and the smallest casualties. Next, we have more battles to fight. We can't fight hard as soon as we start, and we are good at fighting bad wars, but we also have to learn to fight tricks. Do you understand!"
"Master, Zhong Ling understands!"
When he first came, Zhang Zhongling was still a little arrogant. He was not only a top student in Peking University, but also a top student in Huangpu. He could not find a second person like him in the entire GJ team, who was as civil and military as him. Although he had experienced some things and had given up on himself and his personality became much more calm, his arrogance in his bones still did not change at all.
After he came into contact with and learned about the First Division of Honor, he realized that the rise of the First Division of Honor was by no means accidental. The military discipline was strict and it was better not to be abused. The soldiers used their lives, which was superficial.
The key is that this army has souls, and its soul character is Leng Feng!
Leng Feng did not particularly win over the hearts of the people, nor did he promote any ideology in the army. What he gave soldiers was respect and equality.
Leng Feng also talks about righteousness. He talks about national justice and national interests. This is different from empty preaching. If he combines these righteousness with personal interests, the educational significance will be different.
Therefore, the cohesion of this army is very strong, and its combat power will naturally be strong.
Such a person, the soldiers brought out, will be convinced!
The most important thing for a qualified general is not to win more battles. Of course, winning is the primary priority, but the more important thing is to be able to lead your subordinates or go down the battlefield.
War means death, but death is not the purpose of war.
Of course, eliminating the invaders is the responsibility of every soldier, and everyone has the responsibility to do it.
Leng Feng knew that Zhang Zhongling and Dai Xu were both brave generals, and Lao Jiang sent them to the Honorary First Division. He couldn't believe his eyes. It would be great if one could come. They all came all at once. The strength of the Honorary First Division could increase the boss by one!
Both of them are very capable and have a sense of arrogance of not admitting defeat, especially Zhang Zhongling. Although the prison disaster has made him worse, in the battle in Nanjing, the brave and pride of Zhang Zhongling returned, Dai Xu seemed more calm, but he had already shown his strength.
Leng Feng wants him over, so Lao Tang must hate him very much, right?
But it doesn't matter. With Dai Xu's ability, he will be alone sooner or later. If he can't go to the 200th Division, he can still show his strength and do something in his career when he comes to honor the First Division.
The ambush and the siege must be separated. Who will fight the ambush and who will attack the city?
"Master, I'll go and fight an ambush. This task is relatively easy. I'll leave the siege to Brother Zhong Ling!" Dai Xu suddenly spoke. How could he not see the dilemma in Leng Feng's heart in this situation?
"Zhong Ling, what do you think?"
"Zhong Ling listens to the master's seat, whether it's ambushing or siegeing the city!" Zhang Zhongling also knew that this was because he was commanding a brigade's battle, and the opportunity was not easy.
"Okay, that's it. Dai Xu, you lead two regiments to find ambush points on the road from Yanzhou to Jining, and prepare to attack the ambush." Leng Feng decided, "Zhong Ling, you lead the 39th Brigade to besiege Yanzhou, and the 17th Heavy Artillery Regiment will be given to you for use. Can you take Yanzhou within two days?
"Please rest assured that you are a master. In two days, I will guarantee to take Yanzhou!" Zhang Zhongling said excitedly.
"The Cavalry Regiment is alert to Zoucheng. Dai Xu, you will also hand over one of your regiments to Zhong Ling to ensure that you have enough troops to siege Yanzhou!" Leng Feng added.
"yes!"
"It's almost dawn. Shangguan Zhibiao and the others have probably prepared breakfast. You can go after dinner." Leng Feng looked at his watch and said, it had been half an hour since he spoke. The sky outside was foggy, but it was already bright.
"Yes!" The two of them saluted and went out together.
"Teacher, division seat, General Sun Yinting, acting commander-in-chief of the 3rd Army, has arrived!" Guo Weiquan hurriedly ran in from outside and reported.
"Oh, where are you??" Leng Feng asked in surprise.
"It's almost at the door!"
"Let's go out to welcome him. General Sun is a senior in the army and his etiquette is indispensable." Leng Feng said. Although Sun Yinting is an old-fashioned soldier and may not have much ability, he still knows the righteousness and is generally speaking. In terms of anti-Japanese attitude, he is much better than his old commander Han Xiangfang.
Sun Yinting came all the way over and saw it was shocked. In Nanyang Town, there were three steps and five steps, and the guard was so strict that it made people feel chilling.
He has also led troops for many years. He could tell at a glance that all the troops and soldiers were elite soldiers in a hundred battles, and they all stood there motionless, which shows how strict the military discipline was!
"Commander-General Sun!"
"It's the acting commander-in-chief, Commander Leng!" Sun Yinting was slightly surprised. Leng Guoguang looked so young, which was really surprising. However, he had seen the world and suppressed the surprise in his heart for the moment.
"Sunsen Commander-in-Chief, please!"
"please!"
Seeing that Sun Yinting and his entourage were wet, Leng Feng knew that they had been there all night. It was raining heavily, even if they were wearing raincoats, they probably couldn't stop it. Moreover, they rode horses along the way and later took a boat.
"Xiao Xia, go and get a few sets of clean clothes, both inside and outside!" Leng Feng said, "Sunday Commander, you should change your wet clothes. It's raining and you're prone to colds and illnesses."
After hearing this, Sun Yinting immediately felt a little fond of Leng Feng's care. Before coming, he roughly found someone to learn about Leng Feng's character.
It is said that they are all young and energetic, not very understanding of human nature, difficult to get along with, etc.
Now it seems that the rumors are indeed unreliable. Didn’t Leng Guoguang understand and considerate others and care about others? How could those people say so unbearable?
I guess it was because I was in a high position at a young age, so I thought about it and slandered them. Maybe the person who said this had never even seen him.
Sun Yinting has seen such a person on the scene.
"Thank you, Commander Leng, then I'm so disrespectful!" Sun Yinting was not a pretentious person. If he didn't change, his subordinates would all be wearing wet clothes. Wouldn't they dare to change them?
In this situation, Leng Feng gave Cong Hu a look. Cong Hu immediately had a spiritual meeting, nodded to Leng Feng, and went out to make arrangements.
Although it doesn't fit well, it's better than wearing wet clothes.
"Grandmaster-in-chief, drink a cup of hot tea to warm your body, eat something, take a break, and then talk about things later. It's not that little time!" Leng Feng greeted with a smile.
"Thanks!"
After a night, I was cold and hungry, and I was wet with rain. I took a bite of hot tea and felt warm. I felt so comfortable to eat a few bites of sesame cakes.
"Zhangjia Shaobing?"
"Has the grandson commander-in-chief eaten?" Leng Feng smiled slightly.
"Of course I remember that although my troops are stationed in Yanzhou and are close to Nanyang, it is rare to come and go once a year. I have to eat a few of this Zhangjia Shaobing every time I come. Unexpectedly, Commander Leng actually knew that I like this bite?" Sun Yinting was surprised, and couldn't help but secretly fear it in his heart.
This young man is so scheming.
"I haven't eaten it before. I heard that the Zhangjia sesame cakes in Nanyang Town are a great choice. I asked someone to buy some and try it. But I didn't expect that you, the grandson commander-in-chief, also like to eat this sesame cake."
Sun Yinting was a little skeptical, but it was not impossible for Leng Feng to say anything. It was the first time that someone came here, and the Zhang family cakes in Nanyang were so famous, and it was understandable to try them. Instead, he became suspicious and seemed a little petty.
"Team Leng, no, Chief Leng summoned Lao Sun, I don't know what to discuss with you!"
"The future of Luxi and the Third Army!" Leng Feng didn't like Wanwanlu. Sun Yinting was also a straightforward person, so it would be better to be straightforward with someone who is straightforward.
Sun Yinting's expression was shocked. Obviously, he did not expect Leng Feng to tell the things he was worried about directly.
"At 4:30 this morning, Chief Li had already launched a counterattack from the Japanese army in Taierzhuang. More than 100,000 troops besieged the 20,000 Segu Detachment. The gu Detachment is doomed. My mission is to capture Jining and clear the Japanese army in western Shandong. After the situation determines whether to recover the capital Jinan!" Leng Feng explained solemnly.
Sun Yinting was stunned and did not come back to his senses for a long time.
