"It's too much!"

"Lao Luo, please calm down. Tang Keqin is the chairman's favorite general. If we hadn't made some military achievements, we wouldn't even be worthy of carrying shoes for others." Qin Yankun persuaded.

"Guoguang just swallowed his anger?" Luo Yufeng asked.

"Kukuno has his idea. Kenji Doihara is not that stupid guy named Setani. Since someone is coming to chew bones, why should we stop him?"

"He really plans to go to northern Henan?"

"It should be, the summer harvest is almost here. Northern Henan is a heavy grain production area. It cannot allow Japan to take advantage of it. This is much more important for our future food rations than competing for merit with Tang Keqin."

"That's right. We fought continuously, and the casualties were a lot of, and the troops were tired. Since someone took over, we should take the opportunity to rest, so that's fine."

"Chief Leng Telegram!"

"read!"

“…”

"Wonderful, in this way, we don't need to fight the Japanese invaders. We can make full use of our flexible and maneuverable characteristics, quickly intersperse and detour, and stir up the rear of Kenji Doihara!"

"That's right, what Kenji Doihara is most worried about now is fighting on both sides. He left Toshima Yataro with the purpose of dragging us down. But Toshima was a stubborn mind. At this time, he only wanted to defend Caozhou and shrink his troops. We didn't need to attack at all. We just needed to send troops to monitor. Toshima hid in Caozhou and dared not come out..."

"Our goal is..." Luo Yufeng and Qin Yankun smiled.

robbery!

In the blink of an eye, May has passed and June has arrived.

Under the command of Xue Boling, the 1st Corps in East Henan stubbornly blocked the attack of the 14th Division of the Japanese Army. After the battle was down until June 1, the news came that Kaocheng was captured by the Japanese army.

The main force of the Japanese army approached Lanfeng like locusts.

The 71st Army, which retreated from Kaocheng, built fortifications in the Hongmiao in Lanfeng East, continued to block the Japanese army. Another Japanese army attacking Yifeng also broke into the GJ's defense line and was advancing along the depth.

The combat effectiveness of the Japanese heavy mechanized corps was indeed amazing. Even though GJ had the advantage of the number of people, it would not have much effect in the face of equipment advantages.

Originally, in the plains, the mechanized corps should have the advantage of rapid assault and roundabout encirclement, but Kenji Doihara was still a bit conservative in the fight.

There is no way. Ken Doihara's second-hand chips are limited, which limits him to not let go of his hands and feet.

Hu Shoushan's First Army had already taken office as the newly appointed First Army commander Li Tiejun personally led the army and drove from the rear. After the Battle of Songhu, the First Army retreated to the rear to rest and replenish, and was one of the earliest elite troops to restore combat effectiveness.

After more than half a year of preparation, I finally got to avenge my previous shame on the battlefield in eastern Henan.

GJ is dispatching troops, and the Japanese army is also dispatching troops. In order to support the 1st Army, in addition to drawing out an elite brigade from the Kwantung Army to support, he also pulled out a detachment of the 3rd and 13th Japanese brigades of the Japanese army stationed in Shandong to reinforce Tai'an.

In addition, nearly 30,000 puppet troops were drawn from the puppet Manchukuo, led by Zhang Haipeng to head from Rehe to support the 2nd Army of the Japanese North China Front in Shandong.

A new garrison division formed in China, and the 109th Division also came over to replace the 20th Division as the garrison work in the occupied areas and release the main field division.

Obviously, the power of the pro-war faction in Japan has grown a lot, and the Japanese Navy seems to be ready to move. The ships of the Third Navy Fleet also took advantage of the rainy season and the water level of the Yangtze River rises, and took the opportunity to attack the middle reaches of the Yangtze River to restrain GJ's troops and energy.

The Central China Front Army has an operational force north of the Yangtze River to 80,000, and its troops are still increasing. The daily funds used for combat are even more amazing.

The front line was too long, and the public security in the occupied areas and the anti-Japanese war behind the enemy was increasingly awakened by the Chinese people. The tide was emerging in a turbulent manner, and the effect of the anti-Japanese war behind the enemy was gradually reflected.

To maintain the safety of its supply line, the Japanese army needs to put out at least one-third of their energy and troops to deal with it. Otherwise, they will not be able to guarantee the supply of materials and ammunition on the front line.

In the situation where the G army voluntarily gave up the strategic retreat of Xuzhou, the Japanese army continued to advance on the surface and occupied one city after another. In fact, every time they occupied a county town, they needed to leave the troops stationed. Otherwise, the Japanese army would be recaptured by the anti-Japanese guerrillas or the national army.

In addition to constantly increasing his troops, Shinji Hata was to bribe and cultivate the traitors and puppet troops, and to use the means of "using China to control China" to achieve the goal of occupying the area.

But this requires a process, and the national army in Xuzhou area has been continuously withdrawn, strengthening the resistance of the northern Anhui channel, and the positive pressure of the Japanese army in central China has also been increasing.

Although the Japanese army on the southern line crossed the Huai River and advanced the front to Suxian, the southern gateway of Xuzhou, when they arrived here, they no longer had the ability to advance northward.

In the Battle of Xuzhou, Japan had no such preparations before. If it was a quick battle, it would be fine, but now it has become a long-lasting tug-of-war, and the material consumption is amazing. However, the Japanese army wanted to achieve the goal of fighting to support the war, but it was restricted by China's not an industrialized country. Even if it plundered resources, it could not turn into guns and ammunition in a short period of time.

Japan is not ready for a comprehensive war, but the generals who cannot keep up with the ambitions of the frontline, and they want to force the government to surrender at a smaller price.

The wishful thinking failed and I had to force myself.

When the war reaches this point, stopping means giving up. If the Japanese Empire wants to admit defeat, it is impossible, it is a matter of decency and concern for the country.

No matter what, you have to take Xuzhou, and you will have to pay no matter how much the price you pay.

The Great Japanese Empire cannot let those European and American powers make jokes.

The news of the fall of Juancheng shocked the new commander of the 1st Army, Mijiro Umezu, who was the new commander of the 1st Army. Doihara's retreat was cut off, and Puyang was besieged by the Chinese army. Although there was a Japanese brigade and an independent security force in northern Henan, the total force was only 7,000 to 8,000.

In addition to the safety of the towns and railways occupied by the garrison, the number of troops that can be drawn out shall not exceed 4,000.

So a mixed Japanese army detachment of about 4,000 people led by Major General Dong, the commander of the 4th Independent Brigade, led by Major General Hecun, set out from Xinxiang and rushed towards Puyang!

This Japanese army now repelled the cavalry regiment led by Liang Dong, rescued more than 200 Japanese soldiers trapped in Daokou Town, and then rushed to Puyang!

Zhang Zhongling commanded the New 39th Brigade to block the Japanese army in the Jinti River and Huimugou area.

Liang Dong led the cavalry out of the battlefield, met with the coming secret service regiment, and rushed to Xinxiang for a long distance!

This is a bold and top-secret plan formulated by Leng Feng. Siege the city and attack aid is not the purpose. The real purpose is to lure the main force of the Japanese army in northern Henan.

Xinxiang is the old nest of the Japanese army in northern Henan. It not only stationed heavy troops, but also had a large number of puppet troops, and also specially set up an independent security force.

You should know that in China, the Japanese army will only set up independent security forces in important cities such as Qingcheng and Tianjin.

And a not-so-famous city like Xinxiang has set up an independent security force, which shows the importance the Japanese army attaches to it.

It is understandable that the Japanese army set up an independent security force in the northern Henan Plain, the granary of the Central Plains.

Ken Doihara thought that Leng Feng would give up the chance to fight him for the last time and instead directly entered his old nest, Yubei. By the time he understood, it was too late.

Not only Kenji Doihara did not expect, but many people in GJ did not expect Leng Feng to abandon Doihara and go to northern Henan to give up the Tianshuo military achievements that might have eaten Doihara Division to others.

After Li Delin fully understood Leng Feng’s thoughts, he sighed: The young man is terrifying! If it were him, he would probably not be able to make such a choice.

While the Japanese Hecun Detachment was fighting with the New 39th Brigade in Jinti River, Dai Xu led the New 40th Brigade to quietly pass through the Yellow River floating bridge, reaching the north bank of the Yellow River, and detour west along the north bank of the Yellow River.

The goal is to rush to the intersection and cut off the retreat of the Japanese Kawa Village Detachment.

On the side of Juancheng, the new 36th Brigade was also preparing to cross the river. Leng Feng originally thought of leaving one division, that is, two brigades, in Hedong. Chiang Kai-shek wanted to transfer the 20th Corps to western Shandong. The GJ power in western Shandong increased greatly, so he did not need to keep too many troops. On the side of Juancheng, the old regiment commander led the new 37th Brigade to rest and recuperate, and by the way, he responded to other honorary first divisions in western Shandong. Other personnel went to northern Henan with the command headquarters.

Leng Feng was sitting here and watching the ups and downs, Xue Boling was under great pressure. The attack of the Doihara Division was too sharp. Even if he personally commanded the battle in Lanfeng, he could not hold back his position.

This is not a problem. The gap will come after one comparison. The Doihara Division, which can be defeated by the Honorary Division, was a loss of troops and generals. Although it was forced to retreat almost continuously, they finally fought evenly.

Why did the 71 and 74th Army, which were known as the elite, cannot stop the Japanese attack when they arrived at his side?

Could it be that Kenji Doihara showed mercy to the honorary first division?

This is a wrongful reproach of Kenji Doihara. At that time, he asked Leng Feng to make a plan. He was unable to replenish fuel, so he dared to let his tank troops kill all directions. If he couldn't do it well, his tanks and cars would become scrap iron before a few battles were fought.

Now it's different. The time to determine his destiny has come. He can't hide it anymore. In the end, he will not be a cheap enemy.

The more strength you have now, the more strength you have.

But at this speed of progress, Kenji Doihara was dissatisfied with the battle situation in northern Henan. The battle situation in northern Henan was too strange. He felt a little frightened. Logically speaking, if he led his main force to attack Lanfeng, Caozhou would inevitably be empty. At this time, with the troops controlled by Leng Feng, he should attack Caozhou and oppress his living space.

However, Caozhou was not subjected to obvious attacks. Instead, the troops sent to guard the east were often plagued by the new 38th Division of the Chinese Army.

This was too unusual, but most of his energy was dragged down by the current battle, and he had no time to consider the analysis and judgment of the Honorary First Division.

By the time he noticed the signs, the detachment led by Major General Dong of Hecun had arrived in Puyang and had exchanged fire with the Chinese army surrounding Puyang.

He hurriedly sent a call to Lieutenant General Miji Umezu, the commander of the 1st Army. Puyang was just a trap and evacuate quickly. If it was too late, it would be too late!
