On May 12, just as the sky was dawn, a group of GJ officers surrounded a bald old man in his fifties and wearing a field, surrounded by three steps and five steps, and were on guard.

"Duke Song, what do you think of the Japanese invaders who drew the Yellow River to flood the Yellow River?"

Lao Jiang was holding a civilized war in his hand. While walking, he looked at the water of the Yellow River rolling in the sky and asked.

"This plan is dangerous and must not be used unless it is absolutely necessary." Cheng Songyun followed behind and reminded solemnly.

"I know that killing a thousand enemies will cause 800 damage to yourself, but what can we do now to prevent the Japanese invaders from continuing to penetrate into the heart of our Central Plains? Zhengzhou is our granary. Once the granary is owned by the Japanese invaders, what will happen? Song Gong is clear in his heart."

"I understand the Chairman's thoughts. However, it is not yet time yet. We have wiped out more than 10,000 Japanese troops in the Xuzhou area and trapped more than 15,000. The Japanese invaders' plans may not succeed." Cheng Songyun said.

"Qiyu, what do you think?"

"Chairman, what I am worried about is the safety of eastern Henan, especially Lanfeng. Once Lanfeng is lost, Kaifeng will be out of protection. Kaifeng will be lost, and Kaifeng will be lost, and then the Pinghan Line of Zhengzhou will be in danger." Shang Qiyu said.

Chiang nodded. The troops in eastern Henan were empty. If the Japanese army came from western Shandong, it would probably be difficult to resist with the current troops in eastern Henan.

"Commission, the Shandong Corps is in urgent need of electricity!" Lin Wei hurriedly walked up from the crowd.

Lao Jiang stopped and looked towards Lin Wei.

"The 37th Brigade of the New 1st Division of Honor successfully launched a night attack last night, severely hitting the 50th Japanese Regiment and once again blowing up the pontoon bridge that the Japanese army had built on the Yellow River. Our troops suffered little casualties."

"Commissioner, this is good news!" When the generals of the First War Zone heard the news, they all showed joy, and only Liu Jingfu's face flashed with a hint of embarrassment.

"Yes, Leng Guoguang made a good match and should be rewarded!" Old Jiang also breathed a sigh of relief, and the heavy atmosphere suddenly became much more relaxed.

He is the commander of the three armies and cannot only plan one area, but must consider the overall situation. Whether the Luxi battles are good or not has a great impact on the fifth war zone.

If we cannot stop the troops of the Doihara Division, we must prepare early in the fifth war zone. This is an urgent matter.

Now this news shows that the Luxi Corps and Leng Feng are still sure.

"Commissioner, Leng Guoguang suggested strengthening the defense force on Guide and Dangshan lines on Longhai Road, ensuring the safety of the lifeline leading to Xuzhou, and strictly preventing the infiltration and destruction of small Japanese troops. In addition, strengthening the vigilance of Lanfeng, an important city in eastern Henan, the Japanese army has always had a great appetite. If the Japanese army fails to move south, it is very likely to change its target, attack Lanfeng, and threaten Zhengzhou and Pinghan Railway!"

"What do you think of Leng Guoguang's suggestions?"

"Chairman, Lanfeng is an important town in eastern Henan, so I really have to be careful." Cheng Songyun thought for a while and spoke.

"Well, then who do you want to send to guard Lanfeng?"

"this……"

Lanfeng is the southeast of Kaifeng and is considered the gateway to Kaifeng. It has an important position. Now it is the defense of Shang Qiyu's 32nd Army, but the defense line of the 32nd Army is too long. If it were just Lanfeng, its troops would naturally be insufficient.

Chiang Kai-shek was also thinking that if you guard Lanfeng, you must not send a mediocre talent, and you must be trusted by yourself.

"Chairman, why not transfer the 71st Army?"

"71st Army?" Old Jiang frowned slightly. The 71st Army was a unit that retreated from Nanjing. Commander Wang Jingjiu, the troops retreated to Luoyang for rest and replenishment, and were controlled by the Luoyang Security Command.

Lao Wang and Zhu Shaozhou, commander of Luoyang Security Command, are old acquaintances. Lao Wang is a high-ranking official and Zhu can't control it. The two of them are separated and are in a state of trouble. In anger, he beat Lao Wang's army commander off.

The 87th Division of the 71st Army was one of the three major masters and equipment divisions at the time. It was the absolute main force of the ace. After the two battles in Songhu and Nanjing, the masters were basically killed in name only and their equipment was almost lost.

In addition to some personnel returning to build, they are basically considered to be rebuilt troops.

The rebuilt 71st Army had more than one 87th Division, and the 88th Division was also incorporated into the 71st Army, and a 61st Division was assigned from the Eighth Army directly under the Military Commission.

The 71st Army has been resting and replenishing for almost half a year. Although it is quite different from its heyday, it is still considered a gj power that can be used.

This is still the direct descendant of Chiang Kai-shek.

Wang Jingjiu was dismissed, and the position of commander of the 71st Army has been hanging for many days. If he wants to be re-engaged on the battlefield, he must find a suitable general for it.

Who can take on this important task?

In Yuncheng, Leng Feng personally guided the 22nd Division how to build ant-shaped trenches, organize the people of nearby villages to temporarily evacuate their homes in an orderly manner, and mobilized young and strong people to assist in building defensive fortifications.

It is not difficult to mobilize mass work, nor is it simple. Leng Feng’s method is very simple. He has assigned tasks at all levels. The government agency of the State Government in western Shandong is still complete. South Korea and Xiangfang are in charge of Shandong, and there are still some administrative achievements, although there are many problems.

But the main contradiction at this time has shifted, and Leng Feng’s regulations are very strict, bringing together prestigious leaders in the local area. In a few words, these guys are all obedient.

No one dares to disobey, even if he is unhappy, he dares not have any dissatisfaction or abnormal movements.

Leng Feng killed enough "traitors" in Jining. If the devil is killed in this way, he will be punished by him and will be framed by you as a "traitor". He will die in vain and his reputation will be bad.

If Leng Feng could be soothed with the wind and drizzle, he would not want to use such thunderous means, and there was no way to do so. He had no time to reason with these people and national justice.

It would be easy to deal with the government agencies, but I was afraid that if I wanted to hire people, there would be no one at that time, that would be really sad. Leng Feng is not a god. It would be unrealistic to be able to mobilize and organize a county town and hundreds of thousands of people in just a few hours.

The most important thing is to implement a strong wall and clear the country, let the Japanese army come in, and to use the strategy of fighting to support the war to go bankrupt.

Head-on confrontation is undoubtedly a stone with an egg. At present, we can only find another way and start from other places. We should be tempted by the Japanese army's logistics. This seems to be the most effective and direct way at the moment.

Originally, Leng Feng planned to visit the frontier of Juancheng earlier, but Yuncheng's defense really made him feel uneasy. He was waiting for his colleagues in the subsequent troops to stay and re-design and consolidate Yuncheng's fortifications.

"West of Yuncheng, all the people evacuated and all the food was operated, and no one was given to the Japanese army..."

"What should people who are unwilling to evacuate?"

"I understand that some people are always hard to leave their hometowns. If they say ruthless words, if they are unwilling to leave, they will not blame us for anything they encounter. They choose the road themselves, and they have to bear it themselves whether they are alive or dead. We have no choice but to do anything to those who do not believe in evil." Leng Feng said.

"Anyone with a male at home, who is over 18 years old and under 45 years old, must serve in civil service temporarily. Although this is safe, we will arrange the same villagers together and then take care of food and drink. The first task of the civil servant is to help us build fortifications, dig trenches, and then help transport ammunition and medicine, as well as rescue the wounded, etc. We will organize the division of labor..."

"According to wartime laws and regulations, civilians and husbands must abide by several disciplines like soldiers in their missions. The first is that if they are fleeing husbands, they are equivalent to deserters, and battlefield discipline can be implemented on the battlefield!"

As soon as these words were said, anyone who came to the meeting to receive the task couldn't help but feel cold in the back of his neck.

"The second one..."

It is obviously not possible to organize the masses and mobilize them alone. They are too disconnected from the people. The key is to rely on organization to achieve the effect of strengthening the walls and clearing the fields.

So Leng Feng immediately asked Yang Zhiyi to contact the Wuhan Eighth Route Army Office with the XSJ side of Huainan and asked them to come forward to help.

This busyness obviously needs to be helped. After receiving a telegram from the XSJ Jiangbei Detachment, Vice Minister Zhou immediately telegrammed to Yan'an.

In a cave in northern Shaanxi, Yan'an.

The situation changes in the fifth war zone in Xuzhou, Yan'an is not less concerned than in Wuhan, and even news in some aspects is faster and more informed.

"I have sent several telegrams all night, but I haven't been able to sleep all night, so early in the morning, I have called you, Mr. Zhu and Comrade Luo Fu. Let's discuss how to support the anti-Japanese war in the fifth war zone of GMD." A middle-aged man with a strong Hunan accent lit a cigarette, sandwiched it between the index finger and middle finger of his right hand, and took a sip.

"In this day and night, Leng Guoguang ate half of the Japanese army's regiment, which is amazing." Mr. Zhu looked through the telegram a little and said in surprise.

"Yes, it's amazing that there are such talents in this gmd." Love exclaimed.

"Now it is a united anti-Japanese front. If it is not united, it's okay if we talk privately. Don't spread it outside, it will be bad."

"Mao is right, there are many spies in Yan'an." President Zhu said with a chuckling.

"You are right. No matter what, we are now our own people. Besides, Leng Guoguang is so young and has never experienced those things. Can you fight for it?" Luo Fu suggested.

"This is not enough now. Chiang Kai-shek is not at ease with us now. Leng Guoguang is one of the few generals who can support him in his hands, and he is also a direct disciple of Huangpu. If he gives him an excuse, it will be unfavorable to the overall situation of the War of Resistance."

"Mao is right. It's not the time yet. However, I have seen him once in private. I have a good impression. I am a young man who is quite willing to serve the country." said Mr. Zhu.

"That's what you can fight for..."

"Comrade Luo Fu, let's not talk about this for now. The situation in Xuzhou is tense at the moment. The combat order No. 84 of the Japanese base camp was obviously for the 500,000 elite GJ troops in Xuzhou. The Japanese army occupied Mengcheng, advanced to Woyang, threatened Yongcheng, and the Jinpu Road was in a hurry. The northern line, although Jining, Yanzhou and other places were recovered by me, the Japanese army had mobilized heavy troops to go south. Yanzhou and Jining could defend, but how long they could be defended is also unknown."

"The Japanese army was the way to surround Wei and save Zhao, but this move did hit us. Fortunately, Leng Guoguang saw through the Japanese army's plans and made a plan first, so that the situation would turn around. Otherwise, the fifth war zone would only withdraw troops and save 500,000 elite troops." Mr. Zhu sighed.

"Yes, Leng Guoguang's doing this is equivalent to putting himself in danger and being attacked from three sides. His division, although strong, can he fight so many enemies? A hero can't fight against four hands." Luo Fu also expressed concern.

"The boss, the 129th Division and the 115th Division advanced into southeastern Hebei. What are the trends recently?"

"Why did Mao suddenly ask about this?"

"It's okay, I just ask casually whether we can send some troops to harass the Japanese army behind enemy lines and relieve their frontal pressure."

"To relieve their positive pressure, it is better to raid their supply line. The Japanese army's front line is so long, and all supplies are transported by railways and roads..." Mr. Zhu said smoothly and suddenly understood, "Mao, do you have an idea?"

"Haha, you can't hide anything from your wise eyes, Mr. Zhu!" Zx had already smoked a cigarette and replaced it with a second one.

"Old Mao, just say that this frontline is like putting out a fire."

"El said in the telegram that the Tukaiyuan Division has a high degree of mechanization, with 200 artillery pieces of the entire division and its subordinate troops, as well as tanks and cars, which together have more than 500. Such a large mechanized force is very dependent on logistics supply. Therefore, it is important to block the Japanese army from cutting off the Longhai railway line, but it is necessary to seize the Japanese army's life gate so that he can retract his head."

"Yeah, it makes sense!"

"At present, GJ is the main force of the frontal war of resistance. What about us? The Eighth Route Army advanced behind enemy lines and was the main force of the frontal war of resistance behind enemy lines. Therefore, the frontal blockade was handed over to Mr. Jiang, and the destruction behind enemy lines was handed over to us. Therefore, I plan to target the important supply line of the Japanese army and fight several ambush battles. One can help us replenish ourselves, and the other hand, it can also give strong support to the fifth war zone!"

"Yes, but our bases are still in the forefront. Will the Japanese army turn around and focus their main energy on us?"

"Comrade Luo Fu has been worried. At this stage, the Japanese army will not regard us as important opponents. At least we must distinguish between it and Mr. Jiang before we can talk about the outcome." Zx smiled.

“Yes, it makes sense.”

"In addition, we have to do something to..."

"Old Mao, is this suitable?"

"I think it's very suitable. As for the offensive force, although we have won several battles, our overall strength is still weaker than that of GMD. If they really have such an idea, this is also a good thing." Mr. Zhu agreed first.

"Luxi has now been ruled under Leng Guoguang's iron fist. At this time, he will never allow anyone to destroy his overall situation of anti-Japanese war. Therefore, we can rest assured that this will not be a conspiracy. Send a telegram to the Central Plains Bureau and let them fully cooperate with Leng Guoguang's plan to clear the world in western Shandong and eastern Henan."

"I think it's OK." President Zhu said solemnly.

He called the confidential secretary in, and soon a few secret telegrams were sent out quickly from the caves in northern Shaanxi.
