"...The new first army, abbreviated as: New First Army, with two divisions under its jurisdiction, and the number is to be determined..."

"New Army?"

"Why, you don't know, the Chairman didn't tell you?" Secretary-General Zhu Jiahua smiled slightly, stood up and poured a glass of wine for Xue Boling.

"I really don't know this." Xue Boling smiled embarrassedly, and he met Lao Jiang. It took only ten minutes to go, and there was only so much information he knew.

He has a temper and not many people have friendships in the government. Zhu Jiahua, the secretary-general of the government, is one of them. Zhu Jiahua also serves as the director of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection.

He is also the secretary-general of GMD and the third person in the party. He is also Chiang Kai-shek's confidant and the housekeeper in the party, almost undermining the vice president Wang Zhaoming.

Of course, he also has another identity, which is the backbone of the "CC" faction, almost on par with Erchen.

"Mr. Liu, do you think the Chairman will tell me?" Xue Boling picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

"Haha, let's not talk about it anymore. I'm asking you to come here to reminisce about the past, so I won't talk about this work." Zhu Jiahua smiled and said, "How is the old man?"

"It's okay, it's the same."

"You, hurry up and find an opportunity to take your family to Chongqing. Don't worry about the house. I'll find a way for you." Zhu Jiahua said.

"Thank you, Mr. Liu, for your kindness. My father is as stubborn as I am. He will not leave."

"The old man's hometown is hard to leave, which is understandable, but the next target of the Japanese army is the southeast. Guangzhou is now our only seaport, and the Japanese Navy has been planning for a long time." Zhu Jiahua said.

"Mr. Liu, where do you know these?"

"Although I don't care about the messy things of the Central Committee, I am the director after all, and it's not difficult for me to know something." Zhu Jiahua said, "Oh, look at my mouth, I'm not talking about business affairs, and you have taken it in. Come, let's have a drink!"

"If it's a regular party today, it would be fine if I don't talk about official business, but tomorrow I, the commander-in-chief of the First Corps, will take office. Mr. Liu, I'm not sure!" Xue Boling said.

When he received a banquet from Zhu Jiahua, he came without any hesitation. He urgently needed someone who knew the inside story to give him some advice. Zhu Jiahua was the closest person to the core of power and knew many secrets.

"Boling, do you know? Mr. Jiang hesitated for a long time before he ordered your general." Zhu Jiahua put down his wine glass and said slowly. Who is Xue Boling? They have been friends with each other for so many years, but he still knows that he is a politically ambitious person, but he has no one in the army, so he is in love with Xue Boling.

Everyone understands that only those who have guns in their hands can be kings. If Chiang Kai-shek had no army in his hands, he would have been ousted to step down long ago.

"Oh, there is another candidate for the Chairman?"

"I don't know if there is another candidate, but I have someone to pay attention to." Zhu Jiahua said.

"who?"

"Leng Feng, Leng Guoguang, the commander of the first division."

"Is there anything wrong with him?"

"In just half a year, this man has become the commander of the first division from a strict little lieutenant staff officer. His rapid rise can be said to be shocking. He is young and capable, and he is a fearless master. I have heard that he dares to wrestle with Mr. Jiang, so General He has suffered his losses."

"This is interesting. I am becoming more and more curious. Is this person young and energetic, or a naughty young man who knows nothing?" Xue Boling smiled slightly, and a touch of playful light flashed in his eyes.

"This person is at its peak now. He has made many military achievements, and even Mr. Jiang cannot suppress it." Zhu Jiahua said.

"Mr. Liu means that Mr. Jiang chose me for this Leng Guoguang?" Xue Boling was slightly unhappy. Although no one would be happy when he was used as a gun, he would be unhappy, but at the critical moment of the nation's life and death, it would be really not necessary to do these small actions.

"Of course not. The first thing we have to deal with is the Japanese. We will solve the problems within our own internal affairs later." Zhu Jiahua said, "Don't care too much. This is just my personal guess. Mr. Jiang may not have thought this way. This time, the first honorary division was upgraded to the army. It was also Mr. Jiang's approval."

"Mr. Liu, do you know much about this honorary first division and Leng Guoguang? Can you tell me?" Xue Boling humbly asked.

"Boling, your heart is moving?"

"Since I stepped onto the plane, I have never been quiet. This is not easy to do.

"Leng Feng, whose name is: Guoguang, Huangpu Ninth Infantry Department, from Wenzhou, Zhejiang, his father Leng Haoran..." When he came to see Xue Boling, Zhu Jiahua naturally did his homework and went through the information he could collect about Leng Feng.

Xue Boling listened very carefully. Although he also learned some of the situation about Leng Feng from the side, he was not as good as Zhu Jiahua, the leader of the Central Command.

"So, Leng Guoguang is only twenty-five years old this year?"

"Young, you are already a major general. After this upgrade, you will be rank lieutenant general on your shoulders and enjoy the treatment of lieutenant general." Zhu Jiahua said, "You Xue Boling is still just a school-level officer at this age, right?"

"About twenty-five years old, I am in the First Division of the Guangdong Army, serving as the commander of the machine gun company and the rank of major." Xue Boling nodded.

"So, the younger generation is so terrifying!"

"The Yangtze River pushes the old waves, and the descendants of a generation send off old people. We can't think that descendants are worse than those of the predecessors. What do you think, Mr. Liu?" Xue Boling said, "Mr. Jiang is too petty to suppress a young man like this."

"Young people need to polish, but they can't be made without polishing."

"I agree with this point, but if the sharpness on young people is worn off, it will be more than worth the loss." Xue Boling said, "You know, what I admire most is the vitality and sharpness on young people. If these two are gone, this person's future will be limited."

"You, I really can't argue with you. Mr. Jiang has Mr. Jiang's idea. You can do it yourself. Anyway, everyone knows your relationship with Mr. Jiang." Zhu Jiahua smiled and said.

"That's right, but I still respect the Chairman's character very much." Xue Boling said.

"Come on, let's go!"

"Go one!"

Sending Xue Boling back to rest, Zhu Jiahua's car drove silently into the core villa of Luojia Mountain, Wuhan University.

"Have you told him?"

"Yes, President, I have said everything I should say." Zhu Jiahua stood respectfully in front of Jiang Jiang.

"Well, I just stop when I click. I am afraid of Xue Boling's temper. He and Leng Guoguang are now both the generals I value. They must not make jokes about the generals and generals." Old Jiang nodded.

"Xue Boling had a little unhappy fight with Chairman Xiong in Jiangxi. It would be a good thing to transfer him away at this time." Zhu Jiahua said with a smile.

"I won't mention this matter. I will ask Wei Wen to see him off at the airport tomorrow morning. If you have nothing to do, go and see him." Lao Jiang said.

"Okay." Zhu Jiahua agreed.

"It's getting late, go back and rest."

On the evening of the 16th, at around 11 o'clock, Hongchuan Town, the temporary division headquarters of the Honorary First Division.

Leng Feng sat on a Taishi chair and played with the lighter in his hand. It had been more than an hour, and he just sat there and did nothing.

Another cigarette in his hand had been touching a cigarette in his hand for half an hour, and he was almost twisted.

An uneasy feeling always lingers in his heart. No matter what he thinks, he is a little confused and does not know where this uneasy feeling comes from.

In theory, intuition is an illusory thing that should not be believed, but intuition is sometimes really terrible. For the commander of an army, intuition can sometimes save lives.

This may be an instinct that humans are inherently induced by humans. Only sensitive people can sense it, and it is somewhat similar to the Buddhist celestial beings' response.

"Teacher, Chief Liang called, they crossed the Yellow River and arrived..."

"I got it, go."

"yes!"

"Teacher seat, Brigade Commander Sun Zhongren from the 36th Brigade, the troops have reached the camping in Guide, and they can go north to Cao County early tomorrow morning." After a while, the communications staff came in and reported.

"Well, tell Brigade Commander Sun and let him be careful on the way. A Japanese side division has penetrated into southwestern Shandong, with unknown goals!" Leng Feng ordered.

"yes!"

No matter what the reason is, one thing is certain, the problem must be related to Kenji Doihara, and the source of his uneasiness must be from Doihara Division.

Leng Feng put down the lighter in his hand, stood up, and stared at the combat map on the table.

His eyes were always nailed to the place occupied by the Doihara Division, and his eyes seemed to be trying to stare Doihara Kenji to death.

Doihira, what's your idea?

If you dare to go deeper, aren’t you afraid that your partial division will be eaten? There are thousands of people. If you lose such a big deal, it will be difficult for you, the commander of the division, to explain to the higher authorities, right?

Could it be that you have seen through the fact that I am empty in Lucine?

Leng Feng frowned slightly. It was impossible. There was indeed a little emptiness inside western Shandong. The garrisons in Juye, Jinxiang, Yutai and other places were all taken away, and there were only some local security militia groups.

Could it be that Doihira wants to seize his own way of retreat? If these thousands of people really get into the empty Luxi, it will be really troublesome.

Leng Feng thought of this and couldn't help but sweat!

According to the Japanese army's plan, Doihara's mission was to cut off the Longhai Line. If he insisted on fighting with him despite the orders above, the problem would be serious.

"Long Yingqin, where has the Luxi Detachment of the new 38th Division reached?"

"Hanzhuang, board the ship tomorrow morning and you can arrive in Pei County at noon!" Long Yingqin said.

"Send a telegram to Niu Xianmin, assemble the troops, board the ship one hour later, and head towards Yutai overnight!" Leng Feng ordered.

"Teacher, now?"

"Yes, right now, has Liu Xinyu's fleet arrived in Hanzhuang?" Leng Feng asked seriously.

"It's already here."

"That's good, go and send the telegram right away." Leng Feng ordered.

"yes!"

"Wait a minute!" Leng Feng called out Long Yingqin who was about to walk out.

"Another telegram is given to the 36th Brigade, and the 1st Regiment of the 36th Brigade will continue to march towards Cao County. The Brigade Department, the Second Regiment, the Third Regiment and other troops will move towards Dan County as soon as it dawns. Pay attention to avoid Japanese planes to investigate!" Leng Feng's mind was running rapidly. If Kenji Doihara really made this idea, it would be an opportunity for him.
