On May, early morning, the sky was just dawn.

A vast white mist was covered with white mist. A sudden vibration sound broke the calm on the 87th Division of the 71st Army of Kaocheng. Then the vibration sound became louder and louder, as if something was about to come out underground!

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

"The little Japanese tank is here"

A harsh alarm sound suddenly spread throughout the position, and the entire Kaocheng position started to move.

"His grandma, the Japanese are really here. I thought I had taken the wrong medicine on the top of the mountain." He Fengwu, deputy commander of the 261st Brigade, ran out of the command center cursing.

"Everything into the position

Boom, boom

The Japanese artillery shells had fallen, and the peace of Kaocheng was suddenly broken. The battle began. The Japanese artillery fire was very fierce. Dozens of large-caliber artillery bombarded the ** position of Kaocheng.

For a moment, it was the earth shaking.

Immediately afterwards, the Japanese army, guided by a tank squadron, two 95 tanks and one 97 tanks, followed closely and charged fiercely against Kaocheng.

The outer front-line positions were in a hurry after only less than twenty minutes of resistance.

"Hey, is the 521st Regiment of the 261st Brigade? Is it the 521st Regiment?"

"Deputy Brigade Commander He, the 521st Regiment can't be answered." The communications soldier was sweating profusely. After answering for a long time, the most cutting-edge 521st Regiment had lost contact.

"Send someone to check the route and report it to the division headquarters immediately, saying that we were subjected to fierce attack by the Japanese army, asking for artillery fire support, and asking for artillery fire support!"

"yes!"

Yifeng, the 74th Army Defense Zone, was also subjected to fierce attacks from the Japanese army almost at the same time.

Zhou Zhidao Brigade of the 151st Brigade of the 51st Division of the 74th Army had a fire with a Japanese army. Not long after the battle, it entered a state of heat. The Japanese army approached quietly with the help of heavy fog and suddenly launched an attack. Although the First Corps Command reminded the front line troops to pay attention to vigilance, they were still caught off guard.

In the Neihuangji area, a regiment of Li Bohao's 64th Army encountered a Japanese cavalry corps. If he hadn't reacted quickly, he would have almost made dumplings by the Japanese army.

But the infantry regiment suffered most of the losses. After hearing the news, Li Bohao immediately dispatched troops to reinforce and gathered a cavalry unit to rush over.

Kenji Doihara brazenly burned the war to eastern Henan, and abandoned Guide, the gateway to eastern Henan, and rushed straight to Lanfeng. The news reached Wuhan, which shocked the whole country.

At this time, Kenji Doihara dared to gamble like this, which was simply a waste of time. With his current military strength, he was dealt with head-on resistance to the Western Shandong Corps, and he even went to mess with Xue Laohu?

East Henan has arranged heavy troops to defend, and the central and local troops have exceeded ten divisions, and the troops are at least four or five times that of Tu Feiyuan. Even if the firepower is not as strong as the opponent, the defense is more than enough.

Kaifeng, the headquarters of the First Corps of East Henan.

"Captain Xue, Chief Shang is here."

"Brother Qi Yu!"

"Brother Boling, my troops are now deploying defense along the Yellow River in Kaocheng Lanfeng. Do you have any instructions? Just say it." Shang Qiyu said as soon as he came in.

"Thank you, Brother Qi Yu. Dohihara Kenji attacked Lanfeng. That was because he was forced to be desperate by Leng Guoguang. It was no longer possible to return to the original route. Going south to Guide is more likely to fall into the siege of our army. Therefore, he had to do everything he wanted to attack Lanfeng!" Xue Boling said, "What we have to do now is to stop the Japanese army east of Lanfeng. Second, to defend the Longhai Line, the focus is on Neihuangji, Yejigang, and civil rights. You must never let the Japanese army cross the Longhai Line. Third, to defend the ferry along the Yellow River. This part of the task is undertaken by Brother Qi Yu. From Dongming to Lanfeng, this section is your defense zone. Ensure that the Dohihara Division cannot cross the Hebei region, nor can it allow reinforcements on the other side to go ashore!"

"Understood!"

"Kenji Doihara will definitely ask for reinforcements and supplies from the other side. If this battle can be defeated, he must cut off all supplies and soldiers on the ground."

"Please rest assured by Brother Boling, I will never let a Japanese in the Dohihara Division cross the river, nor will I let a Japanese in the North Bank go ashore." Shang Qiyu said solemnly.

"Then please Brother Qi Yu!" Xue Boling bowed.

"Goodbye!"

"Captain Xue, the two divisions guarding Neihuang are both local troops with weak combat power. Should we strengthen it?" Wu Xiqi asked.

"No, I'll send a telegram to Chief Li of the Fifth War Zone. I want him to support us as a cavalry division to deal with the Japanese cavalry. On the plain, we can only point the pins at the wheat marsh." Xue Boling ordered.

"Okay, who will command the cavalry division?"

"After the command of Li Bohao."

"OK."

Peking, Japan's North China Front Command.

"What should I do in Umezu Mijiro? I should ignore the ban order designated by the base camp and change the combat plan without authorization. What do he want to do?" Teraunuchi Shouchi was extremely angry. He had just left Kazuki Kiyoshi, and now another Umezu Mijiro came. They all sang against him, where did he place him, the Supreme Commander of the Japanese Army in North China?

"Commander, this time I went to Taiyuan and learned in detail about the situation and the ideas of the 1st Army. Bei Zhi thought it would make sense for them to do this." Chief of Staff Naosaburo said.

"What, do you say they did it make sense?" Teraunuchi Suichi became even more angry. He didn't like his subordinates to disobey him. Chief of Staff Naosabu Okabu was doing well. Unexpectedly, after going to Taiyuan, he actually began to oppose himself.

"Yes, Commander, in the current situation, if the 14th Division continues to carry out the southward transition to Guide, it will be meaningless to cut off the retreat route of the GMD army in Xuzhou's retreat. Moreover, this will cause the 14th Division to be surrounded, but their retreat passage will have no effect at all!"

"absurd!"

"The Commander, the GMD army in Xuzhou actually has a retreat channel, that is, to walk on the waterway and cross Weishan Lake. We cut off the Longhai line, but we couldn't block a Weishan Lake. The Chinese have a large number of ships and a huge tonnage barge. According to our aerial reconnaissance, they are transporting all the machinery and equipment that were not too late to dismantle to the west bank of Weishan Lake by ship, and then transporting them to their rear by dismantling. They now have enough trucks and fuel, and we cannot stop all this. The nearest troops in Xuzhou in our country will take at least five days!" Okabe Naosaburo said, "And five days are enough for them to transport all this."

"We don't have ships and cannot cross Weishan Lake. Even if we have ships, we may find it difficult to fight against them on Weishan Lake. Our warships cannot be driven in at all. If we transfer Neihu gunboats, it will take at least half a month."

"That's not the reason they deliberately disobeyed military orders!"

"Bizhi believes that they are the only way to win. To capture Lanfeng, they can also cut off the Longhai Road and obtain continuous supply from the other side. To the west, they can occupy Kaifeng, or even Zhengzhou, threaten the Pinghan Line, and to the east, they can occupy Guide and Longhai Line. However, with the existing forces of the 14th Division, they only allow one choice. In comparison, Beizhi also agrees that they occupy Lanfeng first, and then wait for an opportunity to occupy Kaifeng and threaten the Pinghan Line. This will lay a good foundation for our next capture of Wuhan!"

"What about the GMD troops in Xuzhou area? They are also very important. Don't you understand?"

"If Ken Doihara's second hand had sufficient troops, these two things could be carried out at the same time, but now, the troops in his hands were seriously damaged and he was unable to support the battle on both sides. And even if he concentrated all his strength to advance westward, it would be very dangerous, just like taking a chestnut from fire."

"That's because Dohihara is too incompetent. This commander thinks that this Dohihara Kenji is okay to do information, but the command of the war is too far from being too bad. He is not as brave as a samurai, which is really disappointing." Soichi Teraunuchi snorted coldly.

"Hiss Commander"

"You don't have to say anything more. I'll order the 14th Division to occupy Lanfeng and then advance eastward immediately, occupy Guide, and cut off the retreat route of the Chinese army in the west. Those who violate the order will be dealt with by military law!" Shouchi of Temple said heavily.

Kenji Doihara was already attacking Ranfeng. Now that he ordered him to turn the gun head, it was obviously impossible. He had already made concessions.

After occupying Lanfeng, you must also follow the original strategy, otherwise you will be unable to overcome the ban on him and the base camp.

Naosaburo Okabe didn't say anything. It was impossible to say that Soichi Desouchi did this. If the hundreds of thousands of elite troops in Xuzhou were allowed to evacuate safely, then if the Japanese army wanted to capture Wuhan next, the difficulty would be much greater.

No one can explain who is important to eliminate these strategic locations, occupy Zhengzhou, and obtain a bridgehead to go south to capture Wuhan.

However, for China, the Japanese army must not allow the Japanese army to occupy Zhengzhou, and the consequences will be very serious. In that case, the Japanese army can go straight to Guanzhong along the Longhai Line and then enter Shu from Guanzhong, and the rear of Sichuan, the War of Resistance Against Japan, will be in danger.

"The division seat, the main force of the Doihara Division suddenly appeared in Kaocheng and Yifeng early this morning. The troops should have been divided into two groups and launched a fierce attack on the gj positions stationed in Kaocheng and Yifeng. Although our army was prepared, it was still broken through the defense line by the Japanese army and was currently fighting fiercely with the Japanese army."

"It seems that this old Japanese devil, Doihara, has made up his mind this time and ordered Luo Qianzi to start." Leng Feng sucked his face with cold water, woke up, and did not sleep that night.

"Well, the division has been laid out for so long, and we can finally close the net." Long Yingqin and other staff members also had red eyes and stayed with Leng Feng all night.

"Where have Cong Hu and the others been?"

"I came to the telegram two hours ago and said that it had passed. According to the time and distance, it should be in Juye now."

"Well, let him be careful of the Japanese planes. If the Japanese air strike against Caozhuang failed, he will definitely not give up. Maybe he is looking for an opportunity to take revenge." Leng Feng ordered.

"yes!"

"Has Takashi Sakai caught it?"

"Not yet. It has been seven hours since Takashi Sakai breaks through. We have surrounded the Japanese army that broke through near Jiazhuang in the northwest of Juancheng. Now the special service battalion of the New 36th Brigade and the first battalion of the New 4O Brigade are clearing the remnants of the Japanese army. So far, no trace of Takashi Sakai has been found."

"Are there any photos of Sakai Takashi?"

"No, there is no current."

"Strange thing, didn't Sakai Takashi escape with the breakout troops?" intelligence counselor Hu Yanan muttered.

"Are you caught the Japanese prisoners?"

"I caught a few wounded soldiers, but they were of no value and I didn't ask anything."

"Are there any older wounded soldiers or strange prisoners?" A cold light flashed in Leng Feng's eyes, and he remembered some possibility.

"this"

"Jiang Tao!"

"arrive!"

"Come here, I'll give you a task, listen." Leng Feng called Jiang Tao and whispered and ordered a few times in his ear.

"Master, this"

"Just do it, you'll understand in a while."

"yes!"
