"Strange, strange..."

"What's wrong, Old Shen, what are you wondering about?" Shen Zhiming lowered his head and walked with Leng Feng in an instant.

"Lengtou'er, the telecommunications office just received a strange telegram, which was sent by the Wuhan Command." Shen Zhiming explained, "Staff General Wu is not going to the dock, I am responsible for the following. They translated it out. I think it's a bit strange and are planning to report to you."

"What's strange about the telegram from the commander-in-chief?"

"No, Leng Touer, the message is not surprising. The communication password sent is invalid, but we are still using this frequency." Shen Zhiming explained.

"What did you say?"

"The Commander-in-Chief was planning a plan, saying that in view of the Japanese army's setback in Nanjing and the 13th Division was blocked from Chihe and Bengbu, the Japanese army may adjust its strategy next. The Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth War Zone was instructed to formulate a plan to encircle and annihilate the 13th Division of the Japanese army, code name: Capture Wolf."

"Oh, it's still serious." Leng Feng smiled when he heard this.

"Why, Leng Touer, do you know this plan?"

"How could I know this plan? This is just a trick to deceive the Japanese. I don't know who came up with the idea. It's quite clever and it suits my wish." Leng Feng smiled.

“You mean, is this plan fake?”

"The fake ones cannot be fake anymore. The troops in the Fifth War Zone are already in short supply. How can I make any plans to encircle and annihilate the 13th Division of the Japanese Army? Isn't this difficult for our Chief Li?" Leng Feng said.

"What's the point of this plan?"

"Did the above ask our national rescue troops to persist in Nanjing for a longer time to hold back the Japanese army in Nanjing?"

"Yes, the commander-in-chief ordered us to persist for three to five days in Nanjing. Wait for the deployment of the fifth war zone to be put into place. The national rescue division crossed the river northward and attacked the 13th Japanese Division." Shen Zhiming looked at the content of the telegram and said.

"We all decided to evacuate Nanjing tonight. This telegram from the commander-in-chief is like a piece of waste paper to us!" Leng Feng sprinkled coldly.

He didn't want to learn from Tang Mengxiao. If he had arranged a retreat long ago, he would have been hesitant when things were about to come. He could have at least withdrawn tens of thousands of troops guarding the city and prepare to fight again and finally make it like that.

"Is this the commander's order?"

"Old Shen. You have never thought about why the Wuhan Command sent us this message with a failed password. Isn't you understand that you want to tell the Japanese?"

"Oh, yes, yes, I said why do you think it's strange? So that's it."

"I just don't know who gave Chairman Jiang the idea. I kill two birds with one stone. I don't know what the Japanese army will react after deciphering this telegram?" Leng Feng thought slightly.

If the Japanese army believed this message, the 13th Division, which was returning to the aid, was very likely to stop immediately and approach Uraguchi and would immediately adjust the target of the combat.

If the Fifth War Zone cooperates with it and takes some action, it can really scare the 13th Division back and disrupt their deployment.

After all the troubles, I bought at least half a day for the national rescue master.

On Nanjing, the two Japanese troops will sleep boldly and not worry about the national rescuer sneaking away from Nanjing City. In this way, even if there is something abnormal, it may not cause the Japanese army to be alert.

Who can calculate so accurately? Not many of the generals of the State Administration have such wisdom and strategy, and many of them are not in the center of power, so they can make such accurate judgments.

Could it be that Zhuge Bai Jiansheng, he and Chief Li have always been Jiao Buli Meng. Meng is not separated from Jiao? It is related to the situation in the Fifth War Zone. He naturally did his best to plan. Moreover, he is now the deputy chief of staff, the minister of military training, and the counselor. He knows the inside story of the Nanjing battle situation, so if it is his idea, it is reasonable.

Leng Feng didn't want to ask the bottom of this matter. Since someone is willing to cooperate, why should he ask about such a good thing?

Xuzhou, commander-in-chief of the Fifth War Zone.

"Chief Li, Vice President Bai's telegram."

"Oh, is Jiansheng called?" Li Delin stood up and said.

"Well, I call back to Deputy General Manager Bai and said I understand. I will do what he wants."

"yes!"

"Please come here!"

Xu Yanmou, chief of staff of the Fifth War Zone, walked into Li Deling's office several times.

"Brother Delin, are you in a hurry to come and come to me if you have something to do?" The Japanese army is approaching, and Xu Yan's work is very heavy, especially coordinating the relationship between the participating troops in the regional theater, as well as material replenishment, etc., everything needs to be mastered by him, the chief of staff, himself.

The troops participating in the war are all miscellaneous troops. If you want to use them well, it is not easy to fight a good war.

Everyone can see that Lao Chiang's sinister intentions are, but they are in power. In addition, Lao Chiang's direct descendants have suffered heavy losses in Songhu and Nanjing. Even if they blame them, they cannot find a reason.

The Anti-Japanese War is a battle for the entire nation, and it is worth it even if it is wiped out.

If Li Delin hadn't been for the righteousness of the anti-Japanese war, they would not have been the commander-in-chief of the Fifth War Zone. Such a commander-in-chief of the War Zone would not have been so easy to be.

Without the skills and ability to command the heroes, you cannot be a good commander.

Chiang Kai-shek has this ability, but it is impossible for him to be in charge of the center. Vice Chairman Feng has the ability and prestige, but he has always had grudges with these soldiers and generals. In addition, he has no soldiers or soldiers under his command, so no one will listen to him. Don’t be careful of his high position, he will be the blame at that time.

This is the only one who has strength, skills and abilities in the national palace.

This is also his unshirkable responsibility. In the face of national crisis, the past grievances should be put aside first and drive the invaders out first. If there is any account, we will close the door and settle it ourselves.

"Yan Mou, I want to transfer Zhang Xuchen's 59th Army to Huainan to support the 51st Army in battle. What do you think?" Li Delin stood in front of the map and asked when he heard the footsteps coming from the door.

"The 59th Army was transferred to Huainan?" Xu Yanmou hesitated for a while. Didn't the 59th Army stay in his hands as a reserve force? Why did he suddenly transfer to Huainan? Besides, the battle situation in Huainan has not stabilized. The Japanese 13th Division encountered setbacks in Bengbu and Dingyuan. Now it has adjusted its layout, and there are signs that it is about to enter the stalemate stage.

"I want to fight a war in Huainan and join forces with the national rescue division of the capital's anti-Japanese war to completely resolve the threat of the Central China Front Army." Li Delin said.

"What Brother Delin means is to solve the problem of the 13th Division of the Japanese Army?"

"If you don't want to solve it, at least you have to give him a heavy blow. In this way, we can gain two months or even longer. In this way, the significance of the Xuzhou Battle will be different. We can even teach the Japanese army an unforgettable lesson in the Xuzhou area."

"Although Japan's war potential is not as good as ours, at present, their strength is far stronger than us. They can recruit tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of veterans from China to join the active service at any time. Even if we recruit soldiers, we are all newcomers who have not experienced any training. On the battlefield, they are cannon fodder."

"So what do you mean by Yan Mou?"

"I don't agree with you fighting a war in Huainan, but I suggest you not be so optimistic. Maybe in Xuzhou, we will have an unprecedented war."

"Your concerns make sense, but I don't want to let go of such a good opportunity. The two Japanese divisions suffered a lot under the national rescue. It can be said that they were losing troops and losing generals, and they had to maintain public order in the occupied areas. In a short period of time, it would be difficult for them to withdraw more troops to go north. If they were to mobilize troops from the local area, it would take at least half a month. Therefore, as long as we can end the battle within half a month, Huainan has been decided!" Li Delin said excitedly.

"You asked the Chairman for troops a while ago, but now you want to fight with the Japanese army when the troops are insufficient. Are you afraid that he will not agree with your decision?" Xu Yanmou asked with a smile.

"This time, that time, no matter what, I, Li Delin, decided on this battle, Leng Feng, now I am very eager to see this young anti-Japanese hero."

"Yes, this person can turn the situation around in just two months, which is incredible." Xu Yanmou couldn't help but sigh.

"When he comes to Xuzhou, we will treat him to dinner and drink, and we will meet him?"

"Hahaha……"

At four o'clock in the afternoon, a unit of the secret service regiment after the rest took over the new 39th Brigade on the position. Ju Youlin led the new 39th Brigade to retreat about 4,000 people from the position and rested and had a meal.

The Japanese army's attack was not so urgent. It seemed that they had known that the national rescue division would delay the delay in Nanjing for another three or five days to buy time for the fifth war zone to mobilize troops.

When the Japanese Central China Expeditionary Force headquarters received this news, they were also skeptical. A few hours later, the Japanese army's lurking spies sent a message back that the squadron was concentrating on the Huaihe River.

This corroborates the information obtained before. The top Japanese military leaders immediately believed the information three times and began to adjust their deployment.

The new 37th Brigade in Jiangbei has already had anger with the Japanese vanguard, and the battle is not very fierce. The Japanese army seems to be still conducting tentative attacks, and the battle is a bit tepid.

This strange phenomenon was obviously affected by the secret adjustment of the troops on both sides.

In general, it is more beneficial to delaying a little time to save the national division. When the two main brigades in Nanjing retreat to Jiangbei, there is no need to worry about the 13th Division of the Japanese army.

With a new 37th Brigade and two supplementary regiments, the overall strength of the elite Japanese army is still somewhat different.

At around five o'clock, the sky gradually darkened, and the sound of gunfire in the city was like a woman crying, sometimes dense, sometimes sparse. In addition, the weather was cold, the cold wind was sweeping, and the smell of bloody and smell of gunpowder was very unpleasant.

With this fight, Nanjing City has returned to the Stone Age.

I don’t know how many cultural relics and buildings have been destroyed, but Leng Feng, as the owner, is certainly in a bad mood.

"Ask the cooking team, is the meal ready?"

“It’s done.”

"Send it to the frontline officers and soldiers, have enough food and clothing, and it's easy to fight."

"I know."

"The Cavalry Battalion and the Supplementary Fourth Regiment first retreated, then the Third Regiment, the New 39th Brigade, the 40th Brigade, the Special Forces Regiment and the Department Office's Office." Leng Feng ordered, "Strictly follow this order, no faults are allowed. Tell the ship to dispatch and pay attention to the wind and waves on the river."
