"Sir Xue, there is no good banquet for the banquet. Are these people complaining to us?"

"Haha, I can't tell this. Leng Guoguang touched the interests of some people. These people had no choice but to do anything to him. He didn't know that after hearing the news we were coming, he deliberately came to the door."

"Then you still told them so much, aren't you afraid that Leng Guoguang will misunderstand?"

"What a misunderstanding? If I don't tell them so much, how can I know what they are thinking?" Xue Boling smiled, "I can tell him when I see Leng Guoguang."

"You are trying to get involved!" Wu Xiqi was so amused and crying. Seeing that Xue Boling was having a very friendly and lively chat with those people during the meal just now, it seemed as if he had met his relatives.

It turns out that he has a purpose.

"We can't come in vain, aren't we?"

"I'm convinced you."

On the way, I never encountered such a thing again and arrived in Xinxiang smoothly.

Leng Feng personally went out of the city to greet him.

"Sir Xue, welcome to Xinxiang!"

"Sir Leng, a young hero, it's better to see it at first sight than to hear it!"

"Hahaha..." The two big hands were tightly clasped together, looking at each other, and the two of them laughed at the same time.

Xue Boling is usually serious and his subordinates are afraid of him. In fact, this is also his style as a general. At the core, he is actually a very good person, just a bit of an old-school soldier.

The two have worked closely together on the battlefield many times, and they can be said to be in a tacit understanding. Although they have never met each other, they have been in harmony for a long time. This time they finally met.

Both of them are somewhat unpretentious, but they both have become the most famous generals of this era. When they meet, they feel like they cherish heroes, although they are a generation apart in age.

Xue Boling's age is a bit too old to be Leng Feng's father. After all, he is only in his early forties, but his elders are completely OK.

Even in terms of Chinese capital in the military, Xue Boling is also Leng Feng's predecessor.

"Please, Chief Xue!"

Leng Feng sat in Wu Xiqi's position. Wu Xiqi had no choice but to get into another car, and the convoy started and entered Xinxiang City.

"Brother, where are you going?" Cong Hu turned his head and asked.

"Ltd. Col. Cong called you brother?" Xue Boling asked in surprise.

"Cong Hu and I have two other brothers in the Battle of Nanjing. We had a fight on the battlefield. I was the oldest and Cong Hu was the third one." Leng Feng explained with a smile.

"I see."

"Tiger, go to Yangxintang first, Uncle Li is waiting for us."

"Uncle Li?"

"It's Chief Li. For me, it's not convenient to call Chief Li directly, so I just casually call Uncle Li directly, and I'm a little used to it."

Xue Boling was surprised. Although Li Delin was kind, not everyone could call him "Uncle". Leng Feng's relationship with him was so close. It was obvious that the friendship between these two was extremely deep.

At the entrance of Yangxin Hall, Li Delin brought some guards in Huangxue Village. He did not wear military uniforms, but casual clothes with cotton and linen materials. He wore a pair of black cloth shoes under his feet, and he looked very comfortable and leisurely.

"Dong De." Xue Boling got out of the car and walked forward quickly. Li Delin was older and a giant in the party and the country.

"Brother Boling, welcome you."

"Mr. De is in good health?" Xue Boling greeted.

"Fortunately, if you came a few days ago, I wouldn't dare to come out to see you." Li Delin laughed and pointed to his right cheek and said, "My face is so swollen that it's hard to see anyone."

"Dong De, for the cause of the war of resistance and the future of the party and the country, you must take care of yourself."

"I can't die for a while. How about it? The war in eastern Henan is still going well?" Li Delin welcomed Xue Boling and his party in.

I sat down at the pavilion in the garden first.

"Cold watermelon, Boling, come and eat it." Li Delin greeted.

"Thank you, De Gong." Xue Boling was not polite either. He took a piece of watermelon and took a bite and said, "Sweet, good, De Gong, you are blessed."

"Yes, I'm afraid I'll live here, and I don't even want to go back to Guangxi." Li Delin quipped.

"It's okay to live for how long Uncle Li has lived. I have a lot of things here and I'll ask you for advice." Leng Feng smiled and sat down.

"Chief Staff Wu, you can eat one too." Leng Feng took a piece of watermelon and handed it to Wu Xiqi.

"Thank you, Chief Leng." Although Wu Xiqi was older, no one could ignore Leng Feng's current power and status. He was a new star in the army who was equally connected with Xue Boling.

"Chief Wu just calls me to Guoguang."

After riding the bus for an afternoon, I was a little hot and thirsty. I ate a slice of watermelon and cooled down my thirst.

"Boling, what are your plans for the next step?"

"Mr. Jiang means that the focus of the next Japanese attack is to attack Guangdong and Guangxi along the Yangtze River and the most likely coastal areas of Fujian to block our maritime traffic." Xue Boling, too, wiped the towel in the guard's hand and said slowly, "This time I'll call me back, it should be to deploy the defensive combat plan for the Battle of Wuhan."

"So do you think Wuhan can be defended?"

"If you want to defend Wuhan, you must first defend Jiujiang. If Jiujiang falls, Wuhan will be in danger." Xue Boling did not hide his thoughts. Li Delin was a long battle formation. Experience commanded that although Leng Feng was a rising star, his command ability and grasp of the overall strategic situation also had certain unique features. Isn't his purpose in coming to Xinxiang to discuss the next strategy for combating Japan?

Jiujiang is the gateway to Wuhan. Once Jiujiang is lost, the Japanese invaders will be at the city, and the three towns in Wuhan will suffer from the slaughter of war.

"Although we lost Xuzhou in the Battle of Xuzhou, we also gave the Japanese army a heavy blow. The Japanese army also needed time to recover and prepare for the next attack. This time they lost two main divisions. With the previous losses, they would not have major actions within at least three months. I think that in Fujian and Guangdong and Guangxi, they might have risky military plans." Li Delin nodded slowly and said.

"However, based on the information we have at present, the main Japanese troops are concentrated in the Yangtze River Basin, and there is no sign of going south?"

"The Japanese army in Xuzhou area also seems to show no sign of decline, which shows that the Japanese army has not given up on the idea of ​​advancing westward from the Longhai Line and then heading south along the Pinghan Line." Leng Feng inserted and said in a sentence.

"Guoguang, what do you think, just say it."

"Uncle Li, Brother Bo Ling, from the ambition and appetite of the Japanese army, their most urgent hope now is to defeat us militarily, force us to surrender to them, and achieve the goal of making us surrender first. The Japanese also know that they may not be able to afford to fight a war of attrition with us. Half a year, as long as we have not destroyed our country, we can continue to consume with him. In the end, we must win. Of course, I don't think there is any need to doubt this, so the Japanese army must want to win quickly. The former Japanese mainland prime minister Sugiyama was already very clear. The problem is that we cannot follow the Japanese army's ideas. We have to delay and waste. Therefore, as long as we can give up, we can give up, even including Wuhan!"

"I'm afraid no one dares to say that now?"

"My words of giving up do not mean that they ran away before the enemy came. It was like the Battle of Xuzhou. We finally decided to give up, but before we gave up, we still won the Taierzhuang victory and ate the main force of a Japanese field division." Leng Feng explained, "How many field divisions did the Japanese army have in total? We will eat one today and another tomorrow. Think about it, how many main divisions have we defeated the Japanese army since the war started?"

"When Chief Leng was in Nanjing, he almost destroyed the 16th Division. Later, in Huainan, Degong and Guoguang joined forces to almost wipe out the 13th Division, and then in Taierzhuang, the main force of the 10th Division was completely wiped out, and then Luxi, Guide, and the 14th Division were almost wiped out by us. These are the four main divisions!" Wu Xiqi pried apart his fingers and calculated.

"Wow, four Japanese field divisions have more than 100,000 people. This is an amazing record. Brother Guoguang, you are almost there in it!"

"Brother Boling is apologized. I can eat it with my own strength. If it weren't for the help of Degong and Boling, I wouldn't be so brave." Leng Feng smiled and said.

"These four divisions are the most elite troops of the Japanese army. Even if Japan has a complete military service law, it is impossible to restore the combat effectiveness of these four major divisions in less than a year."

"But they can mobilize millions of troops at any time, and they are all demobilized soldiers, which is something we cannot compare to."

"When the troops have, weapons and ammunition, if you need to equip a million troops, how many weapons and equipment do you need, as well as materials and ammunition for training and combat. These things are not coming out of thin air. Even if the materials are sufficient, it will take time for the factory to produce them. If the Japanese army planned to fight us in full swing at the beginning, they could now arm hundreds of thousands of troops to China immediately, but they didn't think so at the beginning, so their investment could only be fuel-added." Leng Feng analyzed.

"It makes sense, unless the Japanese army is patient and prepared for half a year."

"If this is the case, it will be troublesome."

"As far as we know the Japanese army, they will never wait for the first half of the year, or even three months, and will launch an attack plan again. This time, it will definitely be more fierce and more difficult to deal with before. Whether they can survive it is related to the future and destiny of the War of Resistance, and also to the fortunes and destiny of the people of us. Therefore, how to resist the Japanese army's attack next is very critical." Leng Feng said.

"Kuoguang's words make sense, but now we cannot form a joint force at all. The party is fighting for power and profit at home, and some people are still colluding with the Japanese behind their backs. There are too few people who can help us internationally. With our current strength alone, it seems difficult to resist the strong strength of the Japanese army."

"Although our strength is not as strong as the Japanese army, we can still defeat them. Uncle Li, have you read the book of the book I gave you?"

"I read it, it's very insightful. This is definitely not something that ordinary people can write." Li Delin nodded.

"It's indeed not written by ordinary people. This is compiled by Mr. Yang from Yan'an's internal speech. I got a book from a special channel. I was deeply inspired and thought it made a lot of sense. Uncle Li, don't blame me, I didn't tell you what it came." Leng Feng said.

"Actually, I've seen it a long time ago. After we've been writing for so many years, I can still see the style of his articles, but I'm curious about what you got this booklet?"

"This is actually not a secret. They originally planned to issue it publicly, but for some reasons, it was not launched. I got such a copy through the relationship between General Fan."

"Oh, that's it, that's no wonder." Li Delin suddenly realized that the secret of Mr. Fan was in contact with Yan'an and was basically undisclosed.

Leng Feng has a good relationship with General Fan, so it is not difficult to get documents on this aspect, not to mention that this is not a secret.

"I have also heard of this "On Protracted War" but I didn't see the original content. I didn't expect that Guoguang, you can actually get a copy here?" Xue Boling was also quite surprised.

"I'll copy you a photocopy. No matter what beliefism, I think his strategic policy towards Japan is correct, and it is consistent with Chairman Jiang's idea of ​​changing it for a while, and changing it to a small victory for a big victory." Leng Feng said.

"Okay, I'll read it too when I look back." Xue Boling nodded.
