Chapter seven hundred and sixty first: bluff
"Haha, Zhang Zhongling has played well. Yanzhou and Jining's siege should be able to be resolved." Leng Feng was so happy that he received a telegram from Zhang Zhongling.
"Master, now we can finally free up our hands to deal with this old Japanese devil, Doihara."
"Well, old thank you, I want to draw the New 39th Brigade?" Leng Feng thought carefully and said.
"Now?"
"Yes, now!" Leng Feng nodded.
"The 39th Brigade is now full of momentum, and it is the time to expand the results of the battle. Now it is suddenly pulled over. How can the battle be fought below?" Xie Jiyuan didn't understand that Leng Feng would make such a puzzling decision at this time.
"I plan to invite the Sichuan Army to go north so that the new 39th Brigade can withdraw, and we will have another new force, but this cannot be known to the Japanese army." Leng Feng expressed his thoughts.
"Then attack Tai'an..."
"Old Xie, do you really think Zhang Zhongling is going to attack Tai'an?"
"Isn't it?" Xie Jiyuan asked in confusion, "Didn't his order be written?"
"That's a bluff. We are not able to capture a strong city like Tai'an. At this time, we are asking for trouble for the city." Leng Feng explained with a smile, "Even if Zhang Zhongling's mind is hot, we can't follow it."
"Yes, we are fighting on both sides now, and the troops have been used to the extreme. There is no need to take the initiative to attack Tai'an."
"Has the retreat of the Fifth War Zone troops begun?"
"It has begun. The main retreat is the wounded. The car is mobilizing all efforts to withdraw the wounded in the war zone to hospitals in Hankou and other places for treatment. The number of wounded people is quite large, and there are afraid that there are tens of thousands."
Leng Feng nodded, and the suggestion of withdrawing the wounded first was made by Li Delin. You should know that in history, although the Xuzhou retreat saved the main force of GJ, many seriously injured people were left behind in the war zone. Except for a very few, the rest of these seriously injured people were killed by the Japanese army.
Although the wounded soldier consumes a lot of resources, once his body recovers, the veteran will be farther than the combat effectiveness of the three new recruits. Moreover, the resources required to train the three new recruits must be more than to treat one wounded soldier!
Some people have too short-sighted eyes and only see immediate interests but not long-term interests.
Even if you don’t look at the interests, these wounded soldiers who are injured by the country cannot be left alone. This will make the soldiers feel cold. When you go to the battlefield, everyone will be injured. When others are injured, you don’t care. When you are injured, others will not care.
These wounded soldiers are a kind of wealth, but they are not reflected now.
The commander-in-chief of the Fifth War Zone was the final meeting for the withdrawal plan.
"The 29th Army and the Third Corps moved to the mountainous areas in northern Anhui, and the 2o Army went west along Longhai Road... The 2nd Army temporarily lived in Taierzhuang, and was the general reserve team of the theater, Sichuan Army..."
"The Sichuan Army has other arrangements." Li Delin raised his hand and interrupted Chief of Staff Xu Yanmou's words.
"Subei Legion..."
"Everyone knows the plan and timetable of retreat?"
"I'm clear, then go back and follow this plan and schedule. If there is any adjustment, the Chief Office will notify you at any time." Li Delin said in a deep voice.
"yes!"
"Brother Delin, why did you suddenly change your mind about the Sichuan Army?" Although the war in the fifth zone has ended, Bai Jiansheng still stayed. He had to wait for Li Delin to complete the retreat plan before going back.
This is also the thing he was most worried about. With Leng Guoguang, there would be constant changes. He realized that his old partner's preference for Leng Guoguang was simply out of normal range.
Even if he has never trusted his sons and nephews so much, he is simply "spoiling".
"Jiansheng, Sun Decao has always wanted to repay the favor of Tengxian County for resolution. I have so much to sell him a favor. Do you think this favor is not worth it?" Li Delin knew what Bai Jiansheng was thinking.
"Do you think this is appropriate?"
"What's wrong with it? Can't you see that Leng Guoguang has great potential in the future?" Li Delin said, "This is a matter of killing two birds with one stone, both public and private."
"Okay, since you have decided, I have nothing to say." Bai Jiansheng knew that Li Delin had decided that the Sichuan Army would cooperate with the Honorary First Division Luxi to fight next.
As for how Leng Feng would arrange the Sichuan Army, that is his business.
Of course, the Sichuan Army's legion headquarters must have taken action with the head of the Fifth War Zone, but the main force of the Sichuan Army must have left with the Honor Division.
"Trial seat, it's this day that the Japanese army did not make any special moves in Caozhou. They just pushed the front ten kilometers forward, and the main forward force had entered Dingtao County."
"What is the judgment between the old regiment commander and Commander-in-Chief Sun?"
"They judged that the Japanese army wanted to adopt a steady and steady strategy and to advance towards the Longhai Line, and their goal should be Guide." Long Yingqin replied.
"This is possible. Kenji Doihara is under a lot of pressure now." Xie Jiyuan stopped, put down the water cup in his hand, walked to the map and began to investigate carefully.
"Guoguang, look at it. The Japanese vanguard is now located here, about two hundred miles away from Guide. My defense line is now concentrated on the south bank of Wanfu River. Judging from the direction of the Japanese attack, they did rush to Guide. Guide is an important town in eastern Henan. There is not only Huang Jie's Eighth Army, but also General Li Bohao's 64th Army. The two armies have a total of 50,000 people. For example, the most concentrated troops of Doihara Kenya will not exceed 15,000 people..."
"The blocking positions along the Wanfu River are mainly composed of our Third Army and the two regiments of the New 37th Brigade and one regiment of the New 36th Brigade, right?"
"Yes, the total number of blocking troops is less than 20,000."
"Where is the 28th Division and the 32nd Military Division?"
"Shawo, Dongmingji went to Dahuangji area, and the defense on the south bank of Dongyu River was deployed. In the past two days, they did not bear much pressure from the Japanese army, but the combined force of the two divisions was less than 10,000."
"Teacher, telegram from the commander-in-chief of the First War Zone!"
"read!"
"The First Commander General Staff judged that the Japanese Dohihara Division will go south to Guide next. Guide stores many important military supplies from our army, and it takes time to transfer it. The Commander General Staff ordered our Western Shandong Corps to delay the Dohihara Division from the south for three to five days."
"I know, I call back to the commander-in-chief of the First War Zone, and said that the department would work hard to delay the Japanese army's southward journey." Leng Feng's face darkened, and it was reasonable for the First Commander-in-chief to make this judgment.
"Teacher's seat, telegram from Chairman Jiang's attendant's office."
"Huh?" Leng Feng raised his eyebrows. What's wrong with this today? They never call themselves on their own initiative. Today, they are one after another.
“…”
After listening to Chiang Kai-shek's telegram, Leng Feng frowned slightly. Chiang Kai-shek also judged that the Japanese army was very likely to go south to Guide. Under such heavy pressure, Kenji Doihara should not disobey the military order again.
Besides, Doihira's current actions are also very obvious, and he placed all the main forces on the southward advancement.
By capturing Guide, an important military center in eastern Henan, we can cut off the passage of elite GJs in Xuzhou to retreat westward, and cut off the supply line of the fifth war zone. If there is no supply, what can the Chinese defend Xuzhou?
Kenji Doihara steadily advanced southward, as if responding to the order issued by the North China Front Army, Naihara, but Naihara was very dissatisfied with the efficiency of Doihara.
It took twenty miles in one day, and it would be fine if it was an ordinary infantry regiment, but now it is a mechanized corps, which is a bit unreasonable.
Even if the Doihara Division lacks oil, it shouldn't be so, so a telegram of reprimand came to Kenji Doihara.
In the telegram, Soichi Teraunuchi severely criticized Kenji Doihara for taking his orders as a warning. He didn't understand the principle of the noble god of war. How could such a person take on the important task of the division commander?
If he doesn't want to be a man, he can change him immediately.
Kenji Doihara crushed the telegram on the spot and tore it into pieces.
He now also understood the reason why the First Army Commander Kiyoshi Katsuki and Soichi Denouchi were in conflict. It was a sad thing to have such a boss who didn't know how to command blindly.
There is no room for Kazuki Kiyoshi to be transferred back to China. Doihara has lost this buffer relationship and faced Takashikazuki directly, so the pressure is naturally greater.
This situation was caused by the original commander of the Second Army, Nishioji Satoshi and Isotani Risuke, the commander of the 1st Division. If they hadn't been rushing south to capture Xuzhou, resulting in a crushing defeat in Taierzhuang, how could there be such a passive situation?
There was also the dereliction of duty by the intelligence department. The Honorary Division built a plank road openly to build a plank road and secretly traveled to Chencang, and actually transferred tens of thousands of troops to Weishan Lake to hide. The imperial intelligence department did not receive any news in advance.
The Honorary Division seized Jining and Yanzhou, blocking the supply line of the Isogu Division and the road to retreat north. The main force of the Isogu Division suddenly became a turtle in the jar.
Although the Honorary First Division did not participate in the Taierzhuang Battle, it laid the foundation for the victory of the Taierzhuang Battle in one fell swoop because it seized Jining and Yanzhou.
Otherwise, if the supply lines are constantly being used, it will not be easy to eat the elite main force of the Isogai Division.
In that case, the main force of the Isogai Division was fully capable of breaking through.
However, the base camp mistakenly believed that it could use the main force of the Isogu Division to drag down the elite 100,000 G troops in Xuzhou area. Then he led the 14th Division to smuggle across the Yellow River, cut off the Longhai Line, and join the Central China Front Army, and surrounded nearly 500,000 Chinese J Teams in Xuzhou area in one fell swoop.
This is one-third of the army under the Jiang government in Wuhan, and it is also an elite force. If these troops are gone, conquering China will be just around the corner.
Kenji Doihara, who swallowed 500,000 elite Chinese j in one bite, certainly thought to himself, but the development of the situation was not what was originally intended.
Because, what Doihira feared the most was the birth.
He is still puzzled. With such careful planning and arrangements, there is no possibility of leaking the secret. How could the Leng Feng from the Honorary First Division emerge?
Could it be that this person has the ability to predict the future?
