Puyang, the 14th Division of the First Army of the Japanese North China Front Army.

"Teacher Commander, North China Front Command's emergency telegram!"

"What's up?"

Kenji Doihara is not only a Chinese expert, but also likes Chinese calligraphy and painting. He has some attainments and can also proficiently speak some Chinese dialects. This is also one of the important reasons why he was able to escape safely when Leng Feng was chasing him.

"The Chiang administration in Wuhan ordered the squadron of Lanling Town to evacuate!"

"Oh, is the news accurate?" Kenji Doihara actually didn't sleep well for a night. When he just got up, his eyes were covered with bright red blood.

He was under great pressure. If Leng Feng and the Honorary First Division had not appeared in Luxi, he would have been able to cross the Yellow River to Guide and Lanfeng.

Although there were more than 100,000 troops there, in his opinion, these more than 100,000 people were no match for his elite 14th Division.

However, the Honorary First Division was a unit that he feared. This unit was different from the squadron he knew and was familiar with. It was a well-equipped and strong fighting will.

When he learned that the army had already lurked on Weishan Lake, he was quite shocked. It was unimaginable that the Chiang administration in Wuhan had actually buried such a wonderful move.

Its appearance changed the layout of the Xuzhou battle and gave the North China Front Army a fatal blow. It can be imagined that the Second Army in Shandong was at a loss when they learned that an elite team suddenly launched an attack on Jining and Yanzhou areas.

If this army headed north along Jinpu Road, it would be very likely to capture Jinan!

By that time, the Japanese army in Shandong is very likely to encounter a catastrophe!

Kenji Doihara knows Leng Feng a little bit, after all, he has fought. He is a cunning and quite deceitful opponent. If he doesn't take action, he will take the opponent's life as soon as he takes action.

This kind of person is undoubtedly very terrifying, especially you don’t know what he will do next.

In Kenji Doihara's view, Leng Feng and Yanzhou area took action and chose the right time, which shows that all this was planned through some series and not a temporary intention.

But his actions were somewhat conservative. Compared to the attacks everywhere after crossing the river, the empires that were suddenly defeated one after another and suffered heavy losses.

Of course, the situation is different. Perhaps, he also has to make some compromises and take into account the overall situation of the battle between Taiwan Erzhuang, rather than just focusing on the pleasure of killing the enemy by himself.

This shows that this is a commander with a view of the overall situation, knowing how to be patient and good at compromise.

This is not only a military furniture possesses, but also the potential of a politician.

Leng Feng's cautious conservatism seemed quite dangerous to Kenji Doihara, because he was very likely to have discovered the danger from the other side of the Yellow River.

Therefore, he was not moved by the immediate interests, but chose to be cautious and consolidate the defense of the occupied areas. In this way, he would give the more than 100,000 troops of the Fifth Encirclement and Annihilation of the Segu Detachment in Xuzhou. It was almost impossible for the imperial reinforcements to go south from the Jinpu Road.

"Teacher Commander, our intelligence team sneaking into the other side of the strait sent a message that the troops on the other side were mobilized very frequently in the past two days, and patrols along the Yellow River have also increased. They have also established a joint flood prevention and security defense team."

"Are all these established in the past few days?" Kenji Doihara asked with a frown.

"The specific time remains to be investigated, but now that the Yellow River flood season is approaching, this area will be strengthened at this time of year, and there is nothing to doubt." Chief of Staff Colonel Tadaoyi Sano analyzed.

"No, no, Sano Jun, now the army on the other side has any unusual movements, which is worth our vigilance." Kenji Doihara shook his hand, "If you don't understand the Chinese, if you know them thoroughly, you will understand how terrible this nation that writes Sun Tzu's Art of War is."

"Teacher Commander, the glory of the past does not represent the present."

"You are right. A brilliant history cannot control the future. They are declining and corrupt. They should be dominated by stronger people. The Great Japanese Empire is the only one who can become the new master of this country." Kenji Doihara's eyes were full of fanatical fighting spirit.

"The Chinese want to eat our two elites in one bite. They are too naive. Don't you know that there is a saying that "self-binding". So many of them are equivalent to dragging them down!" Kenji Doihara smiled.

"With that being said, how long can the 10th Division last?"

Kenji Doihara nodded slightly. Tadao Yoshino said a lot. How long can Setani Kei and the others last?

"Second Commander, should we take action? The Front Command has urged you several times. If you don't go out again, I'm worried that the superiors will hold you accountable, which will be very unfavorable to you, the division commander."

"Well, I know, but I'm still a little worried." Kenji Doihara said slowly.

"You are worried about the honorary first division, right?" As the chief of staff, how could Tadaoyoshi Sano understand what Doihiro is thinking.

Kenji Doihara nodded.

"To be honest, if you do this, you may miss the opportunity to fight. If your opponent is really coming for us, then you will give him time."

Kenji Doihara was shocked suddenly, yes, I was always thinking about Leng Feng, but I ignored that if I always waited, wouldn’t that mean I gave my opponent time to prepare?

This error is too serious and must be corrected immediately, otherwise he will regret it for the rest of his life.

"Send the order to cross the river tonight!" Kenji Doihara woke up and issued an order to act.

"Hay, the decision of the division commander is wise."

At dawn, at the forefront of Lanling Town, the command center of the Japanese Sakamoto Detachment.

"What, the Chinese army has retreated." Shun Sakamoto's eyes were red. When he got up in the morning, the adjutant hurriedly reported to him this news that he was extremely shocked and incomprehensible.

"It was the news forwarded by the Front Command, but it has not been confirmed yet!"

"If there is no confirmation, will there be a fraud?" Sakamoto's eyes jumped. Although the Front Army Command would not make any fake information to fool his subordinates, the opponent on the other side was too difficult, and he had a subconscious reaction.

"It shouldn't be true. Such important information is at least successful. Otherwise, how could it be sent to us?" said the deputy.

"You, take people to the Chinese position and take a look. If you find that the squadron is withdrawn, report to me immediately!" Sakamoto Shun ordered.

"Hayi!" The adjutant lowered his head and called a small team to investigate.

In Lanling Town, the reconnaissance camp's position was silent, with frozen blood, and the fire that had been extinguished, and there was no sound in the trenches. It seemed that the building had been empty for a long time.

"Old Cao, we have so many, will there be any problems?"

"What's the problem? Didn't we retreat?" Cao Xingyang turned around and glared at the company commander under his commander.

"The order of the brigade department is to let us retreat to Hongshan Town. At best, we are just retreating from the first-line position to the second-line position,"

"Shut up, you know what the hell is. I just took it away like that. I'm not willing to give up!"

"What else can you do if you are unwilling to give up?"

"Before leaving, I will bite off the old devil Sakamoto, and hell!" Cao Xingyang said fiercely.

"So you asked Captain Yang and the others to leave first, so let's leave behind the palace?"

"You kid is really enlightened this time!" Cao Xingyang smiled, "I'll hear it clearly. The Japanese will definitely be able to reconnaissance in a while. Don't show anyone to me. It's okay to ask for death by yourself. If the target is exposed, I want him to look good!"

"I understand, camp!"

"Where are the butchers?"

"The captain of the slaughter is asleep and is snoring!"

"You should keep an eye on me, I'll find him!" Cao Xingyang instructed the company commander, turned his head, lowered his waist and ran towards the position where Tu Man was responsible.

"Get up, still sleep?"

"The devils are coming?" Tu Man opened his eyes and saw Cao Xingyang, he quickly sat up and asked.

"You kid snore, the whole position can be heard. You want to expose your target!" Cao Xingyang cursed fiercely.

"I said Cao Heizi, I'll just snore. You can't get along with me. If I had known, I wouldn't stay with you." Tu Man said dissatisfied.

"Okay, we will leave after fighting this time. Give the Japanese a ruthless move. I'm here to remind you that if you dare to go crazy and die, I will never collect your body!" Cao Xingyang said solemnly.

"Don't worry, I can't die, I will never give you this opportunity!"

"Battleman, the Japanese are taking a telescope to look at our position."

"Hurry up, retract your head and don't let the Japanese discover it!"

"We do this, do you think the Japanese will be fooled?"

"Who knows that this time is the only time left. If you can do it, you can do it. If you can't, let's leave. If the Japanese dare to follow us, hehe, I'm afraid I won't know how to write it if I die."

"Here, the Japanese vanguards have a small number of soldiers, more than thirty, all of them are veterans, they are coming up." The warning message was sent by the warning sentry.

"As long as I order, put the Japanese within 100 meters before firing, do you understand?"

The Japanese reconnaissance vanguards had rushed to the original reconnaissance battalion's position, and the position defense fortifications had basically been destroyed, and no possible person or danger was found inside.

The Japanese vanguard quickly passed the information of the reconnaissance to the Japanese army behind.

A large number of Japanese troops rushed up in a scattered line of charge. The bright red sun flag and the cold bayonets shining with cold light looked frightened.

Jijigugu

Through the telescope, Cao Xingyang saw a Japanese lord appearing on the position, and said something to a messenger beside him, and then waved his right hand wearing white gloves forward!

A large number of Japanese troops rushed up and quickly occupied the blocking position of the original reconnaissance battalion like locusts.

"Is the Japanese attack wrong today?" Cao Xingyang muttered, and the Japanese commander was not in the mind of charging in a queue, right?

The Japanese commander had no idea about water, but he was too careless because of the "squadron retreat" intelligence. When they rushed to the first blocking position, they saw that there was no one in the position, and they thought that they had already evacuated.

But who knew that Cao Xingyang deliberately gave up the first and second blocking positions and lie on the third position, just to give the Japanese a fierce attack before leaving.

To vent your unwillingness.

"Battleman, so many Japanese soldiers, how many will we die if we sweep our machine guns?" The heavy machine gunner trembled with excitement.

"Don't worry about so much, no matter what the Japanese want to do, just make me so hard!" Cao Xingyang also felt the blood in his heart suddenly rushing towards his brain.

There are still people queuing for death. If you don’t fight, are you still Chinese?
