Chapter 818: Xinxiang City (2)

"Yang Rui's speed is a bit slow!"

Leng Feng extinguished the cigarette butts in his hand and reached out to get the cigarette. He found that the cigarette box on the table had already reached the bottom, and the ashtray made of the pottery bowl was full of cigarette butts.

I had a whole pack of cigarettes and couldn't smoke anymore.

"Yes, it's so heavy rain, although it's in the plains, it's very difficult to march at night." Xie Jiyuan also had a hint of sorrow between his eyebrows. Although he was confident in his former subordinates, he had just arrived in a strange environment. Even with a local guide, the road was not easy to walk on that night.

Lanfeng has been fighting for three days, and the Japanese offensive is still very fierce. Xue Boling's First Corps continues to consume the Japanese army's spirit. If the Japanese army cannot break through, they will wait to be strangled by Xue Boling.

Judging from the battle reports in the past two days, the battle situation in Lanfeng is very dangerous. Xue Boling overestimated the combat effectiveness of his troops. These troops were all from the Battle of Songhu and Nanjing, and most of the troops suffered heavy losses, especially the 71st and 74th troops that broke through Nanjing. They survived less than 20% of the rest and training time was too short, and the lack of new recruits and weapons, so their combat effectiveness was better than that of local security regiments.

It is already very good to support this battle. This is the result of Leng Feng weakening the Doihara Division in western Shandong.

Leng Feng was also worried that if he could not arrive on time and launch an attack, the whereabouts of Yang Rui and Liang Dong would not be hidden at dawn, and the purpose of the raid would not be achieved.

It was already past three o'clock in the morning. After the agreed time, Leng Feng and Xie Jiyuan had not closed their eyes and sat in the command center waiting for Yang Rui's telegram.

At this time, I had to wait. If I urged, it would increase the pressure on Yang Rui and the others. Leng Feng just kept smoking to hide the anxiety in his heart.

Such a big action is related to the layout below, and that person's heart is not hanging in the air.

“Is there anything to eat?”

"Yes, there are still a lot of noodles left last night."

"I saw that I had enough, so I went to heat up. Everyone should put on a mat. If you don't sleep this night, you can't stand it if you don't eat anything." Leng Feng ordered.

More than ten minutes later, the kitchen team brought in a large plate of steaming noodles.

"There are ones that count for one, each person has one bowl, but there is no more."

"I'm really hungry, but we are still considerate people at the military."

"That's right, I've followed the military throne, I didn't say anything..."

"Military, your face." Long Yingqin went over specially and served Leng Feng a bowl.

"Thank you."

Xie Jiyuan went over and served half a bowl of noodles himself and walked over: "Guoguang, why don't you eat it?"

"I was wondering whether the water level of the Yellow River will soar when the rain comes. Once the dam breaks, the consequences will be unimaginable." Leng Feng said slowly.

"It's not that serious. Although the Yellow River Basin is flooding every year, heavy floods have not occurred for many years. Although the rain is not small today, as long as it doesn't fall together, there will be no problem."

"That's right." Leng Feng was thinking about the "Gardenkou" breaking the dam. According to historical time, it has not been a few days, but from the perspective of the situation in the war, it is very different from the situation in history.

Maybe it can really avoid this man-made catastrophe.

But it is undeniable that the large-scale yellow spill area caused by the "Huayuankou" dam breaking also protected the western Henan plain. The Japanese army was blocked to the east of the Yellow spill area, objectively protecting Guanzhong and Shaanxi, and cutting off the Japanese army's strategic goal of going westward into Shu.

This also protected the security of Sichuan, the rear of the War of Resistance Against Japan in disguise.

Although later generations criticized the "Gardenkou" for breaking the dam, objectively speaking, making this decision was a helpless move at that time, but the consideration was not thorough, which eventually led to the government losing the people's hearts.

Of course, there were many accidents here. Under the circumstances at that time, one was too late, the second was that they were afraid of leaking secrets. Third, the people who made decisions did not expect that the disaster was so huge, the death toll was so huge, and they all died after the disaster due to hunger and disease.

The government did not respond at all, and the disaster relief was not effective, which eventually led to the loss of people's hearts. It can be said that it was his own fault.

Later generations cannot explain who is right and who is wrong, and who has made merits and made mistakes.

Leng Feng really doesn't want to take that step. If he wants to block the Japanese army east of Zhengzhou, he may not have to open the Yellow River and let the Yellow River water destroy the land for the survival of hundreds of people.

Of course, Leng Feng knew that using the "burning of the dike" method to block the Japanese military front was not a temporary intention. As early as 35 years ago, someone proposed this idea and did so when necessary.

In fact, many Chinese people understand that Japan's invasion of China is a matter of time sooner or later, but it's not much time left for the Chinese to prepare, and the gap between China and Japan's national strength is already huge, so they can only use the terrain and terrain to fight it.

Once the Japanese army cannot be stopped and Kenji Doihara will occupy Lanfeng, the "burst" will probably be put on the agenda. This is a top secret, and the Leng Feng level is probably difficult to access now.

He knew that it was because he came to future generations and he could not tell anyone, so he could only keep it in his heart.

After a bowl of noodles, there was a lot of heat in my body. Leng Feng raised his hand and looked at his watch. It was four o'clock in the morning, and it would be dawn in less than an hour and a half.

"The rain is getting lighter in the military seat."

"Is it small?" Leng Feng was shocked. It was a good thing for the marching. He had to fight next, and it was much more difficult to fight on rainy days.

Leng Feng also doesn’t want the main force of the Honorary First Division to enter northern Henan to have the first key battle to start in the rainy day.

Leng Feng stood up, walked out, stood under the eaves, and the rain hit the tiles, making a crisp sound, which was indeed much smaller than before.

If this trend continues, it is estimated that the rain may stop after dawn.

Yang Rui, you must arrive on time. Once this raid plan is successful, the benefits are too great, and you cannot make a mistake in the middle.

"A cloud-piercing arrow!"

"Thousands of troops will meet!"

"Comrades, you have finally arrived."

"Comrade?" Yang Rui was stunned. Why is this title a little stiff? However, it's nothing. The title "comrade" is not unfamiliar. On the anti-Japanese united front, aren't the Kuomintang and the Communist Party all comrades who cooperate to fight against Japan?

"Hello, chief, I am..."

"Hello, Yang Rui, the commander of the New 1st Army Special Services Corps of the National Revolutionary Army, Captain Wang, you can call him Commander Yang." Yang Rui saluted a military salute.

This dilapidated temple is really hard to find. If it weren't for a fellow villager who was familiar with the terrain as a guide, he would probably not be able to find it on this dark and rainy night.

"Are you gmd's troops?" Captain Wang was shocked.

"What, didn't your superior tell you?" Yang Rui smiled. Captain Wang obviously didn't figure out the real situation.

"We just received an order from our superiors, asking us to wait for you here and cooperate with your actions, and not say anything." Captain Wang smiled embarrassedly. As long as the code meets, it means that he is his own person.

"Tang Pinzi, what time is it?"

"Four o'clock."

"It was an hour before the scheduled time. I immediately set up a radio station and sent a telegram to the military headquarters, telling the military captain that we had thrown away all the supplies and moved forward lightly. We had arrived at the designated location and met with the comrades from the local guerrillas."

"yes!"

"Captain Yang, can you ask, how many people have you come?"

"Eight hundred people!" Yang Rui smiled, the spy regiment had only eight hundred people. This time, Leng Feng pulled out some veterans from other troops to join the spy regiment and collected the number of people for him. It can be said that the entire Honorary First Division had the best weapons and equipment and the strongest combat effectiveness was the spy regiment.

"What mission?" Captain Wang took a breath. Eight hundred people were a big mission. He couldn't help but ask curiously. It was not a big mission to penetrate the enemy-occupied area late at night.

"Regain the Xinxiang!"

"What, you want to occupy Xinxiang?" Captain Wang's face changed drastically.

"Why, doubt our strength?"

"Captain Yang, I'm sorry, you only have 800 people, and the number is too small. If there are 8,000 people, there may be a chance." Captain Wang said.

"Look at what weapons my subordinates are equipped with, and then look outside!" Yang Rui smiled and reminded him.

Captain Wang then looked at the people around Yang Rui carefully. He didn't know it. He was shocked when he saw it. In addition to the long gun, he also saw several flower machines, and then looked at the weapons pulled in to check, such as mortars, heavy machine guns, light machine guns, grenade launchers, as well as two Type 92 infantry cannons and two mountain cannons...

"How is it, Captain Wang, do you still have the strength to show us?"

"Your regiment is well-equipped, but this Japanese devil has a guard team in Xinxiang, which is roughly the same as your regiment. There is also a puppet army security brigade. Although it is newly formed, it has no combat power, and there are two or three thousand people..." Captain Wang is a local, so he naturally knows the situation of the Japanese garrison in Xinxiang.

"Don't worry, our New First Army will not fight unprepared wars. At that time, Captain Wang will send someone to cooperate with our actions." Yang Rui didn't say much.

"Okay, as long as we fight the Japanese, none of our Guguzhai anti-Japanese guerrillas are afraid of death!"

"Notify the company commanders of each battalion to come for a meeting and deploy the mission." Yang Rui ordered the correspondents to speak.

"yes!"

In Xinxiangbei, Jishui Town, Liang Dong led the cavalry regiment to surround the town earlier, cut off the external communications in the town, and with the help of the police station in the town, he quickly cleared out the Japanese and puppet traitors in the town.

It took less than half an hour to completely control the entire town. At this time, most of the people were still sleeping.

Then all external communications were restored, but now all the key departments in the town have been controlled by the cavalry regiment.

During the process of control, it is inevitable that the gun will go off. After the Japanese garrison stationed in Xinxiang quickly called and asked what was going on.

This is not a problem for Liang Dong. He fought in the Japanese-occupied area for not only a day or two, but it was easy to find a reason for "guerrilla attacks". Even if the Japanese army became suspicious, it would be after dawn when they came to check.
