This specific standard still needs Luo Yufeng to grasp. The couple of Jiang and others are extremely smart people. If they play with them, they must be more careful.

Wu Shaozhou is a capricious villain, Leng Feng is very clear about this. Although his true face has not been revealed yet, he is still quite vigilant about it.

Whether Leng Feng can bring it over is actually not very expectant, but he cannot let him ruin the overall situation in Shandong.

"Have Wu Shaozhou called back?"

"not yet!"

"Well, it seems that he chose to surrender to Chen Weizhang, so don't worry about him. Even if he surrenders to Chen Weizhang, his troops are now under the Luxi Corps. I, the chief of staff and the commander-in-chief of the front enemy, still have command over him." Leng Feng had basically judged Wu Shaozhou's attitude.

"What should we do next?"

"How many people are there in Wu Shaozhou's brigade?"

"The brigade was originally organized with two regiments and some directly affiliated troops of the brigade headquarters, with a force of about 4,000. After months of transition and replenishing troops, it is estimated that there are only about 3,000 people now. Most of the weapons and equipment are mainly light weapons, and there are almost no heavy weapons. There is a cavalry company and some anti-aircraft machine guns. This unit was originally the guard force of the South Korea Xiang side, and its equipment and treatment are the best, so it is hard to say now."

"Shen Weizhang doesn't have much resources, how much help can he provide?"

"There is still some money, but it's hard to say about weapons and equipment."

"If you haven't replied before six o'clock, send a telegram to Chen Weizhang and ask him to come to Jining to discuss the next defensive policy in Luxi." Leng Feng ordered.

"I guess Chen Weizhang won't come here in person, and should send someone to explore the road. He was originally incompatible with the former subordinates of Lao Han, and now he has become the chairman of Shandong Province. The third army is generally in conflict with each other." Xie Jiyuan analyzed.

"If he stays honestly, we can't force the person away. If we want to drive us out, we can't come forward. Let's see the other party's attitude before talking about it." Leng Feng said.

"Okay, by the way, we have also captured Japanese and puppet wounded soldiers and prisoners this time. How should these people be dealt with?"

"The Japanese prisoners, first find a place to lock them up and starve for three days. As for the puppet army, if they are released, these people will not make a living, and they will also disturb the people. First, they will identify personnel. Those with blood debts and bad deeds will be dealt with seriously. The rest will be concentrated to carry out labor education and let them repair fortifications. We cannot just let them go, nor can we just raise them in vain, right?"

"This method is good, just follow what the teacher said."

The Japanese army on the northern front was surrounded and advanced north and south. The strategy of meeting Xuzhou seemed to be impossible, but the Japanese army on the southern front was progressing quite smoothly.

On May 5, a unit of the Central China Front Army broke through the Northwest Army of the North Feihe River and the 7th Army positions on the west bank of the Wohe River. The main force of the 9th Division advanced along the Huai-Meng Road on the west bank of the Wohe River and rushed towards Mengcheng.

The actions of the Japanese army on the southern front scared Li Delin and others who were fighting in Taierzhuang at the Hanjia Temple commander of the Hanjia Temple. They were all focused on the Japanese army on the Taierzhuang front these days. Suddenly, they didn't expect that the Japanese army on the southern front would actually be under their noses.

He no longer had to scold Liao Lei, the front-line commander, and quickly mobilized Feng Zhitai's 19th Army, Liu Ziliang's 68th Army and Luo Qi's 95th Army to be commanded by Liao Lei, first preventing the enemy from advancing north, and then deploying to defeat him.

At the same time, a fierce military conference in the Japanese Army Base Camp in Tokyo is being held.

The meeting was chaired by Hashimoto, Minister of Operations. The officers of the Operations Department and officers of the Intelligence Department, Deputy Chief Tada Jung of the General Staff Headquarters, and Deputy Chief Mijiro of the Main Base Headquarters, also attended the meeting.

The topic of the meeting was to solve the current dilemma of the Japanese army in Xuzhou!

An elite Japanese army was besieged by more than 100,000 Chinese troops, and the shortcomings that were not exposed in the early war, such as insufficient troops in the war zone, too long front lines, public security issues, and difficulties in supply, are now exposed one by one.

The Chinese issue must be resolved as soon as possible. His Majesty the Emperor has clearly stated his attitude.

The resignation of the new prime minister Sugiyama must be responsible for the delay in the war in China. The resignation has become a foregone conclusion, and the new candidate for the mainland prime minister is still in dispute.

But judging from the current situation, more people support the solution of China's problems by force, and the radical Japanese young military officers have gained the upper hand.

Judging from the previous military expansion and preparation for war and the special allocations passed through war, the war machine of Japan has started.

This momentum can no longer be stopped!

The newly appointed combat division director Masaku Inada is the representative of it. He is a new official and is worried that he can't find a way to show his talents. Now the opportunity has come.

Rice fields obviously support the expansion of the war against China. In his opinion, China only has the fastest and most effective method to conquer by force, and the Japanese Empire is the most lacking time now.

We must never waste our precious time on the backward and ignorant Chinese. As long as we occupy China and obtain a large amount of resources, we can quickly build Japan into the world's largest power!

At that time, the Western countries will act according to the face of the Great Japanese Empire, and dominance of the whole world is just around the corner.

In just a few months, the Great Japanese Imperial team swept through most of China and occupied their capital. Although the squadron is not as weak as it appears, it is by no means an opponent of the Great Japanese Imperial.

Although the imperial team encountered certain difficulties in Xuzhou area, it was only temporary. The Chinese concentrated all the elite troops in Xuzhou area.

This gave the Empire an excellent opportunity, a chance to eat these squadrons in the Xuzhou area.

If these elites are eliminated, what else can the Chinese resist the powerful imperial team?

Masaku Inada's generous speech immediately received applause from many people, especially those young officers who supported the war against China.

Although the conservatives want to refute it, the rice fields are too inflammatory. If the idea of ​​rice fields becomes a reality, the empire's war in China will soon end, and at the same time it conquered this ancient and resource-rich Eastern power, and Japan will become one of the world's top powers in an instant.

Masaku Inada threw out a combat plan that turned unfavorable into favorable. This combat plan was modified based on the suggestion of Akira Muto, deputy chief of staff of the Central China Expeditionary Army.

At the beginning, this plan was not favored by the North China Front Army. Minister of Operations Hashimoto also rejected the plan at that time, believing that the plan was unrealistic and worried that it would not be able to be achieved with the existing troops.

But now, this plan has become a life-saving straw.

Masaharu Honma, the headquarter intelligence department, also expressed support for this plan. The Fifth War Zone of Xuzhou now gathers more than 40 divisions in China, with a total strength of nearly 500,000. If such an elite unit can be eaten, China's problems will be much easier to solve.

The Segu Detachment of the 10th Division, which is now besieged, has now firmly attracted more than 100,000 squadrons to the Taierzhuang area, as long as it can last for more than half a month.

After the meeting, Mainland Prime Minister Sugiyama Moto expressed his attitude and expressed his full support for the Rice Field's plan.

In this way, all voices against the expansion of the war were wiped out.

A combat order No. 84, the base camp aimed at encircling and annihilation of 500,000 in the Fifth War Zone of Xuzhou, was quickly issued from Tokyo to the two major fronts of the Japanese army in North China and Central China.

A large number of troops and weapons and equipment drawn from Japan were continuously driven towards China. The Japanese Navy was not to be outdone and also formulated a combat plan to land from the East China Sea.
