"The 22nd Division arrested a Japanese intelligence team in Yuncheng, with a total of four people, the leader was named Suwon. It was found that this person was the intelligence staff of the 14th Division of the Japanese Army."

"Have you confessed?"

"No, this Suiwon's mouth is very hard. The 22nd Division's intelligence department tried every possible way, but he didn't ask him to confess. Fang Xiaoyang had already rushed over."

"Well, now at least I have confirmed it. Kenji Doihara finally couldn't hold back anymore. He was about to move." Leng Feng nodded, "Now, relying solely on the strength of the 37th Brigade, Kaoru is afraid that he will not be the opponent of more than 20,000 people in the 14th Division. However, his main force is still on the other side, which is beneficial to us. I am going to Juancheng in person!"

“Master’s seat…”

"Don't persuade me. I must go to this battle. Jining is in charge of the Chief of Staff. I will take away the Engineer Corps, the Special Forces Corps and Yasha Battalion. The rest will be left, Wei Quan, this time you stay and assist Deputy Chief of Staff Liao, Long Yingqin with me." Leng Feng's decision was not temporary, but had been carefully considered.

To block Kenji Doihira, he must take action himself.

Xie Jiyuan didn't say anything. He understood his somewhat stubborn partner. Kenji Doihara slipped away from under his nose when he was at Aiuraguchi.

This time, Kenji Doihara smuggled across the Yellow River and launched an attack, the planning time must be long. Faced with such a cunning and cruel opponent, ordinary people are really not his opponent.

Leng Feng knew that he knew Kenji Doihara more than many people, but he was not completely sure. This old Japanese devil was too cunning and he might not follow the trajectory in history.

The garden entrance broke the dam, and such a man-made disaster also arose because of him. Even if it cannot stop all this, the losses must be minimized.

"Wei Quan, please help me draft another telegram about the change of our left-behind troops in Wuhan. Since we have been exposed to the Japanese now, there is no need to continue to hide it!" Leng Feng said, "Send a message to the Chairman's Office, recommending Ju Youlin as the director of the Wuhan Soldier Station of the Honorary First Division, acting commander of the Hankou Security Command, fully handling matters of the Hankou Security Command, Sun Zhongren as the acting head teacher of the Honorary First Division officer workshop, and Wu Xinhua as the acting chief of staff of the Hankou Security Command."

"Master, can Mr. Jiang agree at this time?" Guo Weiquan asked in confusion.

"All recommended positions are within the Honorary First Division. Even if it involves the Hankou Security Command, it is within my jurisdiction, unless the Chairman removes me from the position of Hankou Security Command." Leng Feng said.

"Okay, it depends on how the above reaction."

"In addition, I will send Wu Xiaoyun a secret message, and I will draft the content myself." Leng Feng said.

"yes!"

"Will the news that the Japanese army smuggled into Dongkou be reported immediately?" Long Yingqin asked.

"If the news is confirmed, report it. The Military Commission and the attendant room must be informed!" Leng Feng nodded slightly and ordered.

"clear."

"There should not be too many people in my command organization. The staff and technical personnel should not exceed twenty. The technicians are required to have certain combat effectiveness and physical fitness. This must become a standard. If they do not meet the standards, they can only stay in the rear to work in the future." Leng Feng said, "Combatants, let Wang Bin's team be casual, and it is enough to send a reinforced platoon in the Yasha Camp."

"How is the modification of our radio command vehicle?"

"It's still under testing!"

"Let the modified technicians follow the team, no matter how they test it, the ultimate thing is to test its abilities on the battlefield!" Leng Feng ordered.

"We have modified two of them in total, one for testing and one for backup. Should we bring them all?"

"Bring it with you, only when using the equipment can you find problems."

"Yes, I'll order the communications camp to prepare!"

"This time Peng Chao leads the team?"

"Yes, this time it was Battalion Commander Peng who led the team himself."

"It's six o'clock now, and you're going to set out in twenty minutes, isn't it time?"

"It should be OK!"

"Then let's set off on time at half past six."

"yes!"

The Honorary First Division is in the hands of Leng Feng. The training has always emphasized practical combat as the standard. Practical combat is the first and efficiency is the first. From the issuance of orders to the complete installation of the troops, it must be done within a lot of time. There are quantitative standards for daily training.

This quantitative standard may be a bit difficult for people to do, and at the beginning many people even thought it was too strict. But after fighting a few battles, the officers and soldiers realized that such strict quantitative standards were their reliance on the battlefield and their great victory. Therefore, the relevant training became conscious.

As the training enthusiasm of officers and soldiers increases, the combat mobilization of the troops becomes faster and the role changes are faster.

On May 11th, this morning was a bit busy.

Since breaking through Lanling Town, the Sakamoto Detachment quickly approached Liujiahu. At this time, the Tang Army Group deliberately let go of a hole.

The Sakamoto Detachment naturally would not miss this opportunity, so he would go with the Seya Detachment!

After the two Japanese troops met, the Segaya detachment, which was originally surrounded, naturally had a great morale. In addition, the large amount of food and ammunition supplies carried by the Sakamoto detachment, the Segaya detachment seemed to have been in a rain of drought for a long time.

Supported by this morale, the Japanese army launched a counterattack before dusk on the 10th, regaining some of the positions previously occupied by GJ.

Just as the Sakamoto Detachment and the Seya Detachment were joined by the Tang army again from the periphery and launched the battle of Xiangcheng. After an afternoon of fierce fighting, the Japanese Sakamoto Detachment retreated to Lanling, but instead used the blocking positions left by the reconnaissance battalion directly under the 38th Brigade to block the Tang army.

The battle continued until late at night. A regiment of the 52nd Army suffered more than 300 casualties, but none of them broke through the Japanese position.

The attack was frustrated, and some subsequent weakness occurred in GJ. The initial aura was slowly fading away. Although the morale was high, the soldiers' physical strength was consumed hugely, their spirits were also slumped, and their combat effectiveness was weakened.

There are also difficulties in replenishment. It is not a big problem for soldiers to fill their stomachs, but they cannot keep up with nutrition. We can't let soldiers eat pickled vegetables and pickled vegetables every day to fight?

No matter how bad the Japanese were, they could airdrop a few cans and drink some meat soup.

Of course, the Japanese devils must not be full, but they have a strong foundation. If they fight hard, it is not certain who loses and who wins.

There is also the problem of the wounded and sick. This problem has troubled the head of the Fifth War Zone since the war started. Although the wounded were constantly transported to the rear for treatment, the wounded were still continuously lifted down from the front line.

Field hospitals are already overcrowded, and the most serious thing is the shortage of medicines, especially the serious lack of drugs for treating gunshot wounds, anti-inflammatory drugs, and painkillers.

Some injured people can only hang some saline after surgery, and there are no anti-inflammatory drugs. Whether they can survive depends entirely on their personal luck. The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the bacteria are growing more frequently. The medical and health conditions in the war zone are very unoptimistic.

People only see the victory in front of them, but cannot see the hardships behind the victory. As the commander-in-chief of the war zone, Li Delin feels that he can't hold on at any time and may fall down.

The right eyelid twitched a little, and Li Delin subconsciously reached out and touched his right cheek. The old wound in his early years was a little painful and began to attack. It has been several days since he was about to take place.

He didn't tell anyone that he would relieve the symptoms when he woke up every morning and apply cold water to the pain-relieving medicine. When he was busy with work, he would not go back to pay attention to some pain.

"Sir Li!"

The knock on the door sounded, and the voice of confidential secretary Huang Xuecun came from outside the door.

Facing the mirror, Li Delin carefully observed his right cheek, and it seemed that the redness and swelling had increased, and the vision in his right eye also became blurred.

"Come in."

"Honor First Division, Leng Guoguang urgently... Chief Li, your right cheek..." Huang Xuecun walked in, looked up and said in surprise.

"It's okay, I'm always injured. I may be too tired recently and feel a little uncomfortable." Li Delin hurriedly said, "What is Leng Guoguang's telegram saying?"

"The 14th Division of Kenji Doihara smuggled across the Yellow River in Dongkou last night. It has occupied Wuji, Jiucheng Village and Town, and is thinking about advancing in the direction of Juancheng and Yuncheng!"

"What did you say?" Li Delin was shocked when he heard this news, his eyes were so shocked that it stimulated the old wound on his right cheek. He couldn't help but scream, covering his right cheek, his body hunched down, and his body lay on the basin rack, gritting his teeth and panting, and the sweat beads on his forehead rolled down.

"Sir Li, I'll call you a doctor!"

"Don't call the doctor. I was so excited just now. I was very moved. I'll be fine in a while. I have medicine in my pocket. Pour me a glass of water!" Li Delin grabbed Huang Xuecun's arm and grabbed it very hard.

"Yes, Chief Li!" Huang Xuecun agreed, broke free from Li Delin's hand, and poured him a cup of hot water.

After taking painkillers, Li Delin's condition improved a little and ordered Huangxue Village to report the specific situation.

"Oh, Leng Guoguang is still the foresighted and has long understood the Japanese conspiracy. We are all short-sighted!" Li Delin slowly calmed down and couldn't help but sigh.

"Captain Li, you support Deputy Chief of Staff Leng, otherwise you wouldn't be staring at the huge pressure. Now what else can those people say?" Huang Xuecun also said angrily, but others said slightest, and even if they spoke, not someone would be able to listen to him.

"Mr. Jiang must be stopped from adding troops to the fifth theater. Hurry up, draft a telegram, I will issue it myself!" Li Delin ordered decisively.

"yes!"

"Immediately, Xuzhou, Taierzhuang. Chairman Jiang Junjian: According to the confirmed report of the Shandong Army Corps, the 14th Division of the enemy's First Army smuggled the Yellow River from Dongkou, Juancheng, occupied Dongkou Town, and advanced to the Wuji and Old City line, threatening Juancheng, Yuncheng, the enemy is strong and is a mechanized corps. Leng Guoguang, the chief of staff of the Shandong Army and the deputy chief of staff of our fifth war zone, was the first to detect the Japanese conspiracy and immediately discovered the trend of the Japanese army. He ordered honors yesterday

The 37th Brigade of the 1st Division rushed to Juancheng to block the enemy. It has been taken over. The Japanese army is coming in full force. The purpose is very clear, which is to cut off the Longhai Railway Line and cut off the supply and rear route of our Fifth War Zone... for the defense of Shangqiu and Caozhou. If it is done, please follow the instructions. Li Zr. May 11, 27th, the Republic of China, at 6:33 am." Li Delin said slowly. (Xiaofeng imitated Li Delin's secret telegram and wrote it. Please forgive me if it is inadequate.)

Li Delin read the telegram written by Huang Xuecun, and after confirming it, he signed it and asked him to send it out immediately.

At the same time, Lao Jiang, who was at the official residence of Luojia Mountain in Wuhan, also received a telegram from Leng Feng.

"Director Lin..."

"Sir, are you awake?" Lin Wei asked the attendant at the door.

"Just just woke up, what's wrong with you..."

Lin Wei ignored it at all and pushed the door and rushed in.

"Wuwen, what happened?" Old Jiang was shocked and sat up. He and his wife slept in separate rooms. His work and rest time were not fixed, especially during the war. Sometimes they would stay up all night. They couldn't let their wife accompany him, so it was normal to sleep in separate rooms.

Lao Jiang usually slept directly in the bedroom in the study. This bedroom only has a single bed. Lin Wei is familiar with Lao Jiang's habits, and he is one of the few people who can directly enter Lao Jiang's bedroom without reporting.

Lin Wei walked over and pulled the thick curtains open, allowing the light from outside to penetrate.

"The 14th Division of the First Army of the North China Front Army smuggled across the Yellow River in Dongkou, Juancheng last night, and quickly occupied Dongkou, Wuji and the old city line this morning, and advanced in the direction of Juancheng and Yuncheng!"

"What?" When Lao Jiang heard this, he became anxious. He lifted the quilt and got off the bed barefoot.

"Sir, be careful of catching a cold!"

"Oh!" Old Jiang looked down and saw that he was stepping on the cold ground barefoot, and quickly walked over and put on slippers.

"Where is Li Delin, does he know this?"

"It should have been known." Lin Wei opened the folder in his hand, took a telegram and handed it over, "Sir, this is Leng Guoguang's just sent a telegram!"

"Okay, okay, what a Leng Guoguang..." Seeing the content of the telegram, Lao Jiang was first shocked, and then his face suddenly turned red and he was extremely excited.

"Sir, there is also a telegram from Leng Guoguang here, sent by him together. Do you want to take a look?"

"Also?" Old Jiang was a little surprised and took another telegram from Lin Wei. After reading the content, his face suddenly became gloomy.

Lin Wei didn't say anything, he knew that Jiang Jiang would definitely be unable to make a decision at this moment.

"Agree with Leng Feng's request, and in addition, Dong Zhao's 28th Division was temporarily transferred to the Western Shandong Corps and handed over to his command. Be sure to block the 14th Division of the Japanese Army." Old Jiang thought carefully, "If the troops transferred to the fifth war zone have not arrived, suspend the mobilization and wait for the next order!"

"Yes, sir." Lin Wei said, "The Japanese army's strategic intentions have been fully exposed, and we must make plans early!"

"Well, I know, I'll inform the airport to prepare. I'll fly to Zhengzhou this afternoon!" Lao Jiang ordered that Kenji Doihara smuggled across the Yellow River. In addition to trying to cut off the Longhai Line and surround hundreds of thousands of GJs in the Xuzhou area, his second goal was the Pinghan Line.

For Wuhan, the Pinghan Line cannot be missed.

Not long after Chiang Kai-shek issued this order, Li Delin's request for the dispatch of troops in the Fifth War Zone also arrived.
