Tungsten sand is an important military raw material. China is famous for its abundant reserves of special ores such as tungsten sand. Japan hardly produces tungsten. Although it invades the vast coastal areas in eastern China, most of the tungsten sand production areas are located in the inland areas, and the reserves and output of the occupied areas are insignificant. However, in history, due to the participation of the *** army in smuggling, military raw materials such as tungsten sand were continuously imported into the occupied areas.

"Of course, the government must strictly manage strategic materials and have relevant laws and regulations." Ma Yuming did not attach much importance to this and said perfunctorily: "Those who violate the law and discipline will be severely punished."

What is the method of prohibiting × poison, what is the method of punishing traitors, what is the method of voluntary conscription, what is the method of reducing rent and interest, it is a useless thing to formulate it. It will be a mess when it is implemented, and it will have little effect!

Yang Tianfeng sighed in his heart, and didn't want to continue nagging, so he asked about the latest information casually.

…………………

The Longhai Railway built Yucheng in Yucheng County. Li Xinji two railway stations were attacked by Shangqiu. After the puppet troops of Yucheng took it lightly, both railway stations were occupied. However, several road protection strongholds were removed to the east, more than ten kilometers of railway tracks were demolished, and the roadbed was flattened, the three-column troops retreated again, leaving only the ruins and a row of flat ground of the station.

Therefore, Liudiquan Station (now Station Town) to the north of Xiayi became the train station closest to the battlefield, and naturally became the front base of the Japanese infantry regiment.

First, the Chief of Staff and the Japanese from two brigades rushed to the station town in batches, strengthened their defense, and pushed the alert area along the railway to the junction of Yu and Xia. Then there was the transportation of baggage, ammunition, vehicles and artillery, and the small station was filled with various supplies.

The train station. The Japanese captain brought a hundred Japanese to welcome the upcoming boss, Major General Tanaka Kishi. The idle people around had long been driven away. The stationmaster Ishida stood straight and looked around, looking at his watch from time to time.

A group of hard workers at the train station were also urgently guarded, and the Japanese soldiers surrounded them in the corner.

"These ****!" A dark-skinned man couldn't help but curse in a low voice. He rubbed his waist. He had just been stuffed by the Japanese soldiers, and his waist was still vaguely painful!

"Listen, there is a train calling, and I guess it's going to enter the station." Another man touched the dark-skinned man beside him with his elbow and asked, "I wonder what kind of turtle bastard is here this time?"

The dark man snorted coldly, "Only the ghost know!" After a long time of the day, he complained, "I can't live now and I'm so angry every day." After saying that, the corner of his eyes glanced at the Japanese who were besieging him and these porters. Their rifles were all bayonets, and they looked like they were facing a great enemy.

"Shh!" a middle-aged man stopped him softly, "Word it low, don't let the translator listen." After saying that, he raised his eyebrows at a fat man wearing glasses not far away.

The man stopped cursing, but he was so humble that he could not get rid of it anyway. He twisted a piece of hard soil in his hand and squeezed it to pieces!

"Woo!" The sound of the train whistle came from afar. Not long after, the train stopped slowly with panting, and many Japanese guards with live ammunition quickly surged from the car.

Through the gaps between the crowd, the special forces team members disguised as coolies saw a full-minded Japanese officer getting out of the car. The Japanese captain walked up to salute respectfully. The Japanese officer asked a few words.

The rank of major general, yes, is the highest commander of the Japanese. The special forces team members were expressionless, lowered their heads and looked respectful, but they remembered the arrangement of the station in their hearts from the corner of their eyes.

"Ouch!" A coolie screamed, and the Japanese soldier kicked him, shouted with a fierce face, and pointed to the loading and unloading platform not far away.

The coolies knew what the Japanese soldiers meant, and it was time for work. Everyone stood up, cursed in their hearts, and walked towards the loading and unloading platform.

Tanakaki took a car out of the train station and entered the town. In the car, Tanakaki looked casually. There were no pedestrians on the street, and there were many Japanese soldiers who were alert.

"Kun Ikeguchi, what are the movements of the enemy?" Retracted his gaze, Tanaka Kishi tapped his white gloves on his thigh a few times. This was the rhythm of a military song he was familiar with, and asked.

"Report to your Excellency." Chief of Staff Ikeguchi replied: "According to air reconnaissance, the enemy built a defensive position in Yucheng and arranged considerable troops, which seemed to have the intention to defend the enemy. The remaining enemies gathered in Shangqiu, as well as Zhouji and Guwangji in the north and south of Yucheng. In addition, the enemy destroyed railways and highways, which increased the difficulty of our army's advancement."

Tanaka Qin had already studied the map, and he didn't need to look at it. He also understood the situation described by Yikou. After a while, he didn't speak and thought carefully. The enemy's arrangement was in a normal manner and he was in a state of fighting with dignity, but is this really the case?

"The troops mobilized in Xiayi, Shanxian and Fengxian were not smooth. The guerrilla armed forces should have received orders and strengthened the harassment, which greatly restrained the garrison." Jingkou smiled bitterly and continued: "There is always a difficult problem that is difficult to solve inadequate mobile forces."

Tanaka nodded and said solemnly: "The occupied area is too large. From point to line and then to surface, it is indeed difficult to rely on the current forces. But..."

The car stopped, and a heavily guarded mansion was now the temporary command center of Tanaka Kishi. The two Japanese got out of the car and entered the war room. The staff members arrived and began the military controversy before the war.

…………

The Japanese's intelligence was not accurate. At least the air reconnaissance only recognized military uniforms, but was foolish and unable to tell whether it was a regular army or a joint defense team that had changed into clothes.

Yucheng and Zhouji, Guwangji did arrange strong troops to defend themselves, forming a font shape that can echo each other to restrain the enemy and make it difficult for them to attack a little hard. However, Shangqiu was not the main force, but to be precise, some of the main force and the joint defense team that changed their clothes.

Yang Tianfeng rushed back to the Jiang Detachment, Ma Bingzhong's Cavalry Brigade, a brigade of Guo Detachment and Song Qingpu's special forces secretly arranged near Liudian 20 kilometers south of Yucheng, more than 30 miles away from Xiayi County to the east. The Chen Detachment and Tong Detachment had moved quietly, approaching the Dangshan section of Longhai Road and the southeast sides of Xiayi County, and had formed a pincer attack on Xiayi County.

After measuring the distance again, Xiayi County was more than 40 miles away from the station town of the Longhai Railway to the north. Yang Tianfeng nodded gently and became more confident in the strategy of attacking first.

Of course, it is difficult to eliminate a large enemy. Tempting the enemy to divide the troops is still the strategy that Yang Tianfeng must implement to annihilate the enemy.

In order to cooperate with the actions of the large Japanese army, coupled with the continuous infiltration and development of guerrilla troops in Xiayi villages, the Japanese in Xiayi contracted and abandoned many surrounding strongholds. This undoubtedly gave more favorable conditions for attacking Xiayi County. The troops could intersperse for a long distance, but there were not many obstacles on the road.

The reason why we have to use so many troops to attack Xiayi is that Yang Tianfeng is going to play the old trick of besieging the city and fighting aid. If you don’t come to rescue, then I will let the army advance north and threaten your base - Chezhan Town; if you come to rescue, I’m sorry, ambush halfway and fight annihilation war.

From the comparison and distribution of troops throughout eastern Henan, the Japanese were already facing the danger of being cut off before they even started an attack. As long as Chen and Tong detachments attacked violently in Dangshan and Yongcheng, they were sure to cut off the Longhai Road.

However, Yang Tianfeng doesn’t want the third sect to have too much burden and too much casualties. If you don’t have ready-made teammates, what big shots can you do?

"Chief of Staff Telegram." The confidential staff handed over the telegram from Liang Moqing, the chief of staff of commander Chen and Tong Detachment.

Yang Tianfeng took it and looked at it, pondered for a while, and said, "Call back, and wait for the Japanese troops in the station to be dispatched and launch it again when they arrive in Yucheng. Well, please organize guerrilla troops and the city's spies in advance, and sneak into Xiayi in disguise to serve as an internal response."

Confidential staff officer left, Yang Tianfeng remembered another incident and ordered the guards, "Invite Zhao Zhenzhong, I have something to find him."

Zhao Zhenzhong was under Zhang Lanfeng, the former commander of the Communist Party's National Salvation Army stationed in Yucheng, and was also from the Northwest Army. After receiving a secret letter from Song Kebin and others, he chose to revolt anyway, which played a great role in the attack on Yucheng.

If he was a gangster or other messy background, Yang Tianfeng would not care about him. But Zhao Zhenzhong not only opened the city, but also dared to fight back against the Japanese, which attracted Yang Tianfeng's attention. During the chat, Yang Tianfeng also learned that Zhao Zhenzhong had a relative in Xiayi and was a puppet army officer.

At that time, Zhao Zhenzhong always wanted to instigate this relative, but Yang Tianfeng just asked him to make some preparations and was not in a hurry to work. Now, it is time to use this piece.

…………………

The Japanese army launched and attacked.

No matter how Tanaka Kishi urged him, there were still not many troops in the surrounding area, and only a temporary brigade (more than 600 people) was pieced together, but Tanaka Kishi could not wait indefinitely.

What stimulated Tianakaki's Qin was also Zhecheng was blown up by a few loud roars. Hundreds of Japanese soldiers fought to the death, but under the fierce attack of thousands of troops, the fate of being completely wiped out was not changed.

At this point, there are no large strongholds that can bind the enemy's troops. If you wait one more day, the enemy's position will be stronger and the number of people may increase. Tanaka Kishi is clear about this.

By conquering Yucheng and Shangqiu, and reopening the Longhai Railway, Tianzun Qin set a goal without expecting to completely defeat the enemy, take back Huaiyang and Zhecheng, restore eastern Henan to its previous situation, and wait for an opportunity to form a joint attack with the friendly forces in western Henan. This also shows that Tianzun Qin is still very cautious in combat and very small.

Yucheng seemed to have been built quite strongly by the enemy, so Tanaka Kishi sent Kurosawa brigade as his first attack, because Kurosawa is known as a powerful general, and now it is time to need a powerful general.
