Chapter 786: The time is ripe(1/2)
"The master's seat has an order, and he will secretly start tonight."
"Second-Teacher Dai, where are we going?"
"Looking at it, you will know when you are here." Dai Xu's heart was in agitation. He was still a little reluctant when he was transferred to the Honorary First Division. Now he realized how good his opportunity was. If he continued to stay in the Tang Army Group, he would also have the opportunity to make achievements.
But this opportunity is definitely not much in Honor Division 1, and there are not so many things in Honor Division 1. The wholeheartedness and soldiers' lives are much more relaxed than before.
Now that the peak wants to transfer him away, he is unwilling to leave. Although the old commander treated him well, he is not very good at all.
Leng Feng intersects equally and gives him full trust, and can learn a lot of things he has never seen before.
Even if he is a deputy brigade commander, he will be more comfortable than being a brigade commander before. Moreover, he, the deputy brigade commander, is actually doing the work of the brigade commander.
Shi Tongran was very grateful to Leng Feng. At least, this boss would cherish the lives of his subordinates and would not let them rush to the most dangerous front because he was not a direct line.
Although the 22nd Division suffered a lot of casualties, they were still replenished with soldiers and food and ammunition, and now they still have the opportunity to return to the rear for a temporary rest.
If someone changes them, they will never be replaced at this time. This is also a good opportunity for the Central Army to consume local troops. If the 22nd Division is exhausted, it will naturally be able to withdraw the organization. This is a natural thing.
In this situation, can the arms be too big and legs?
The 22nd Division retreated overnight, and the position was quiet. The Japanese army opposite did not know that more than half of the troops had been removed from the Chinese army position against them at this moment.
However, Leng Feng then transferred the third regiment of the new 36th Brigade to temporarily make up for the vacancy of the 22nd Division's withdrawal position.
The New 40th Brigade rushed from Jining, and it would take as long as it lasts for one day. As long as it lasts for this day, there will be no problem. The reason why Leng Feng did not wait for the New 40th Brigade to come and then withdraw the 22nd Division was because Jining could not have no troops for a long time.
Even if the Sichuan Army is in front of you, if the Japanese army seizes the gap and attacks, it will be a joke. The Japanese army may not have enough ability to attack in full, but if the key attack is still possible.
Leng Feng was also adjusting his troops, such as the 29th Division and 74th Division. Leng Feng was also transferred all of these two troops into western Shandong. The original defense areas of these troops were coordinated with the Fifth War Zone to hand over the troops of the Fifth War Zone.
Then it was to expand Wu Shaozhou's independent brigade into the 4th Division, which was also an outstanding contribution to his outstanding contribution in defending Jining this time.
Sun Yinting was very grateful to Leng Feng. At least Leng Feng did not deliberately try to weaken the strength of the Third Army, and to some extent, he also took considerable care of the Third Army.
Repaying favor, Sun Yinting’s decisions and orders issued by Leng Feng are followed.
The Honorary First Division and the Third Army have a very harmonious cooperative relationship, which is something that many Central and local armies cannot see.
Leng Feng is an alternative to the Central Army, but he is one of the elite troops of the Central Army now.
In this crisis that the building is about to collapse, this powerful force is needed to turn the tide. Therefore, many people silently endure it, and it is very hard to endure it.
Luojia Mountain, Jiang Mansion.
"Yan Baichuan sold a batch of ammunition to Leng Feng, with an astonishing amount, and it can maintain the combat equivalent of at least one army for a month of continuous combat." Lin Wei whispered.
"I understand, Yan Baichuan can't fight, but doing business is a good thing." Old Jiang snorted coldly, obviously very dissatisfied.
"Sir, Yan Baichuan must have stored a batch of ammunition and weapons in his hands, why not..."
"You can pick things out of his hands, and I, the president, let you do it."
"The honorary first division is fighting for the country, but it needs to be responsible for the ammunition supply. If this is spread, it may be unfavorable to the reputation of the government and will also cause many speculations..."
"What do you want to say?"
"Can this batch of ammunition be said to be supplemented by the National Government for Leng Guoguang?"
"If someone spends money, he still has to leave a good reputation for you. Do you think this is possible?" Old Jiang felt a little whimsical.
"How can you know if you don't try it?"
"What Wei Wen said is reasonable. At this time, the overall national and ethnic situation should be the priority, rather than calculating personal interests. Besides, this is not a loss for Leng Guoguang?"
"There is no loss?" Old Jiang snorted coldly. This loss was huge. Once it became a fact, it would be impossible to change its words in the future. By that time, everyone would think that Leng Feng was an ungrateful and shameless person.
However, the government stole this credit and then threatened its own deployment. Although politics is dirty, if it really does, someone will bear the loss.
"That……"
"Try it and see how he reacted." Lao Jiang finally decided.
"What does Chairman Jiang mean? How come the ammunition supply we paid for is their government? Although it was finally allocated to us, what would other troops think? Is he going to isolate us?"
"Yes, what's the intention?"
"This is not the Chairman's personal notebook order, it was sent from the second department of the attendant's room. Look, there are the words "Shi Secret II" here."
"That means Chen Bulei, it should be the approval of Chiang Kai-shek, and it should be the test of my reaction." Leng Feng had a gloomy face, and Chiang Kai-shek became more and more shameless.
He said a lot of good things, and he was so sweet that he was digging holes for him everywhere, and he was simply using everything he could do.
"Then we are willing to suffer this mute loss?"
"Since he wants a reputation, then give it to him. Anyway, we have not paid a final payment yet, so let Yan Baichuan find him to go." Leng Feng said, "I will give him the final payment back to Yan Baichuan, but I will delay it for a while and ask him to ask Mr. Jiang to ask for it first and send the original text to Yan Baichuan without saying a word."
"The master is very smart!"
"You're so smart. If I had a solution, I wouldn't have made such a bad decision. It depends on whether Yan Baichuan dares to play against Jiang." Leng Feng said, "If he doesn't help, we won't have to take care of his business in the future. But now, we're still tolerant."
It's enough to fight with the Japanese devils, and you have to be careful of these old people calculating. Leng Feng really feels a little tired. None of the big men in the Republic of China are good at plagiarism.
Frontier of Ding Tao.
"Master, today the Japanese seemed to have taken the medicine together. They fought very hard and launched several charges. Even the tanks with no oil were driven out of the city. The firepower was quite fierce, so we couldn't raise our heads..."
On the phone, Zhu Yaming, deputy brigade commander of the First Brigade, heard the urgent report.
"Zhu Yaming, keep it steady for me. It doesn't matter if the position is lost. We can take it back. We must figure out the enemy's purpose, do you understand?"
"I understand, teacher!"
"The division seat, the 20th Division of the Third Army was urgently telegraphed. This morning, the Japanese army in Xicheng rushed out under the cover of two tanks. The 20th Division was unable to defend, and was broken by the Japanese army. The Japanese army was frantically expanding the occupied area and launching a fierce assault on our positions. Our army suffered heavy casualties and was turning towards Jiaozhuang."
"Please deploy defenses on the Jiaozhuang line immediately to block the Japanese army. Be sure to intercept the Japanese army in Jiaozhuang!"
"yes!"
"The Japanese army in Dingtao City must have changed its commander, otherwise it would not have made such a 180-degree turn." Qin Yankun said silently, smoking a cigarette.
"Well, the contrast between the front and back is too big. Either the commander has changed or Kenji Doihara has changed his temperament. There are only two possibilities." Luo Yufeng gritted his teeth and said.
"Will there be any changes in the top Japanese troops? Kenji Doihara has been refusing to go south, and now this situation seems to be going south?" Qin Yankun analyzed.
"It is possible that this way of playing really wants to give us a huge surprise."
"Report the situation to Guoguang. At this time, only he can analyze what the Japanese army wants to do." Luo Yufeng breathed a long sigh.
Leng Feng was also surprised when he received a telegram from Luo Yufeng. With his understanding of Kenji Doihara, he endured it until this time, either tolerated it or burst out suddenly.
But what does this mean when I come here?
Do you deliberately throw it out to attract firepower?
This is possible. Leng Feng's eyebrows were deeply locked. Luo Yufeng's judgment was that the Japanese army in Dingtao had replaced the commander, otherwise such extreme changes would not have occurred.
But it may also be that Kenji Doihara gave different orders.
In Leng Feng's opinion, the latter is very likely. No matter how powerful the intelligence work is, it is impossible to get into the heart of the Japanese army. There is still a difference between the Japanese and the Chinese.
"The teacher's seat, Wu's head is urgently heard, and Kiyoshi Katsuki was removed from office and transferred back to Tokyo for questioning. The new commander of the First Army is Lieutenant General Miji Umezu."
"Meijiro Umezu was the Meijiro Ume who signed the "Homei Agreement"?" Leng Feng asked in surprise. Umezu's replacement of Kazuki has existed for a long time in history, but now due to his appearance, the fate of many people has changed.
"Where is Kenji Doihara?"
"Not said, there should be no change."
"Kanji Kazuki and Teraunuchi Sakura have been incompatible early, and it will be a matter of time before they are transferred. This time, I just found a reasonable excuse. Meijiro Umezu is one of the behind-the-scenes drivers of the September 18th Incident. He has a deep understanding of China and is also a difficult person to deal with." Leng Feng said.
"Report, the heavy artillery regiment is in place!"
"The armored brigade is in place!"
"Very good, notify Zhang Zhongling that it will start tomorrow morning." Leng Feng excitedly extinguished the cigarette butt in his hand, and finally waited. Now no matter what Kenji Doihara has to do, he doesn't need to worry about it.
Now, the time is ripe.
"yes!"
At about the same time, Caozhou, the 14th Division Division, Kenji Doihara was strongly inspired and convened his confidants to hold a secret military meeting.
Chief of Staff Tadaoyi of Sano briefly introduced the situation of the 14th Division. In addition to the vast Yellow River beside him, there are already dense Chinese troops around the 14th Division, with a number of as many as tens of thousands.
"To the south and south to the Longhai Line, we have no chance of winning. To the east, the first and the new 38th Divisions of the elite Chinese army, we will fall into a hard battle, and the final result is just the second Taierzhuang. Therefore, these two roads are the most dangerous for our army."
"Teacher Commander, we go south to Longhai Line, we are fully capable!"
"We have the ability, but we may not be able to defend it. May I ask, even if we occupy Guide, what's the point? Can we keep these hundreds of kilometers of defense lines?"
"this……"
"What's the use of cutting off the Longhai Line? It can't stop the Chinese army's retreat at all." Kenji Doihara solemnly explained, "And the information we received was that the Chinese army in Xuzhou area had already begun to evacuate in an orderly manner. They had already planned to give up Xuzhou. If we cut off the Longhai Line, then they would have the opportunity to evacuate from the waterway. By that time, not only would we not get any supplies, but we would also be trapped in a siege."
"We have friendly forces..."
"Friends, they have the ability to fight. In my opinion, it will take some time for them to break through the defense line of the Chinese army. Although the Chinese army retreated from Xuzhou is a tired army, it is also a victorious army." Kenji Doihara said heavily.
This time, Li Delin gave up Xuzhou completely, and Leng Feng's influence was quite large. Moreover, Li Delin did not give up blindly during the retreat, and also formulated a strike plan for the Japanese army attacking from the Huainan area.
The retreating troops did not just run away, but instead blocked and attacked the Central China Front Army attacking Xuzhou area during the retreat.
In the past two days, troops withdrawn from the Xuzhou area have successively joined the southern battlefield of Xuzhou. The offensive of the Central and Chinese Japanese troops was curbed, and even counterattacks and regained some lost ground.
