"Teacher, Commander Li of the Fifth War Zone just sent me a secret message. The message was given to me, so I won't show it to you, but I want to discuss the contents with you." Leng Feng said frankly.

"Oh?" Qiu Qingquan just frowned slightly. He could understand such a thing. It would be fine if he didn't see this telegram. If he saw it but didn't report it, it would be another matter.

Leng Feng didn't show it to him, it was also for his own good.

Chief Li and Chairman have always had a bad relationship. This is a well-known thing for everyone, but now the whole nation is fighting against Japan, and everyone is fighting under one flag.

Personal grievances can only be put aside first, but open and secret struggles are indispensable. Qiu Qingquan is actually very disgusted with this kind of political struggle, and he can only passively accept some things and abide by his duty.

"Commander Li wants to fight a war in the Huainan area, with the goal of completely annihilation or at least severely damaging the 13th Division of the Japanese Army, completely crushing the north-south connection between the Japanese base camp, opening up the Jinpu Road transportation line, and connecting its occupied areas." Leng Feng explained concisely.

"Sir Li, do you want us to cooperate?" Qiu Qingquan asked.

"Yes, without our cooperation, Chief Li could fight this battle, but he might not be able to win, or the expected goal would be difficult to achieve." Leng Feng judged.

"He doesn't have that many troops in his hands. The 13th Division has nearly 30,000 troops, not to mention the troops assigned to him to assist in combat. With the 9th Division, the total strength is nearly 40,000. To severely damage such a huge Japanese army, at least 100,000 troops must be mobilized to be sure." Qiu Qingquan judged and analyzed, and then added, "It's the elite."

It means that if it is a miscellaneous army, it cannot be done.

"Stand, let's calculate for Chief Li how many troops there are in the Lianghuai area to call."

"Okay, let's plan for Chief Li." Qiu Qingquan echoed with interest.

"Now the north bank of the Huai River is Yu Xiaohou's 51st Army..."

"The 51st Army was originally a Northeast Army. After the reorganization of the wars, there were only two divisions, and the 51st Army now has a maximum of 20,000 people." Qiu Qingquan said.

"The 11th Army of Li Pinxian in Bengbu?"

"The 11th Group has only one 31st army, with a force of about 20,000 to 30,000..."

...

"So. If you want to achieve Chief Li's goal, the military strength gap will be at least 50,000!" Qiu Qingquan said, "Unless Chief Li transfers the Seventh Army, which he started, there will be a glimmer of hope."

"The number of troops is not important. The key is who will command this battle with." Leng Feng said heavily.

"What you mean is that unless Chief Li personally directs it, there will be any variables in this battle?"

"I don't know what position we are in the national rescue team in Chief Li's plan, whether we are the main attacker, the side response, or just a role that plays soybeans." Leng Feng said.

"If it were just for soy sauce, Chief Li wouldn't have given you this seal of electricity so solemnly, wouldn't he?" Qiu Qingquan said.

"If we play the protagonist, I hope that I will command the battle in order to maximize the results of the battle." Leng Feng told Qiu Qingquan his true thoughts.

"I know. If you come to command this battle, you must have wanted to leave the 13th Division?" Qiu Qingquan was not surprised at all. Leng Feng's personality is like this. He will never miss an opportunity to weaken the Japanese army, and strive to maximize the results of every battle.

"Those who know me are the teacher's seat!"

"I'm afraid it's difficult. Although I don't have much contact with this Chief Li, I heard that he is not a good person to talk to." Qiu Qingquan shook his head slightly and said.

"It may be hard to say anything else, but if I fight against Japan and fight against the Japanese, I believe that Chief Li will not be the kind of narrow-minded person. What I am worried about is not Chief Li, but the arrogant soldiers and generals under his command. Even if Chief Li handed over the command power to me, I might not be able to command those people." Leng Feng said.

"That's right. The Gui system is a tiger and wolf army. How could it be your command? It's very difficult. Leng Feng, I advise you not to think about it anymore." Qiu Qingquan persuaded that even if Leng Feng's record in Nanjing is dazzling and his contribution is great, it is impossible for the military qualifications to be placed there and let a group of veterans listen to the command of a younger generation.

It was Qiu Qingquan, who had not promoted and reused Leng Feng and fought side by side for two months to understand Leng Feng's human nature, would have been willing to obey Leng Feng's arrangements. Otherwise, suddenly such a young boy came and said he wanted to command him. Even if the soldiers took obeying orders as their duty, they would be reluctant.

What's more, those fierce soldiers who have followed Chief Li to fight in the south and north for many years, they will not listen to Chief Li's orders. It is too difficult to ask them to obey the orders of a young, unknown Leng Feng.

Once there is a slight difficulty in command, or communication problems occur, and cooperation is not tacit, it will be difficult to say that the battle will be fought.

Leng Feng remained silent.

"How do you plan to call Chief Li back?" Qiu Qingquan asked.

"Warning, this battle must be fought. Even if we are not the main focus, we must fight. This is a favorable thing to the war of resistance. We must do it and do our best." Leng Feng said decisively.

Qiu Qingquan nodded slightly, and he knew that Leng Feng would not give up such a good opportunity. He saw the Japanese atrocities in Nanjing with his own eyes, and he did not want to let go of the 13th Division.

"I want to send a telegram to the Wuhan Command and ask the Command to ask the next step of the arrangements for us, and our number has not been resolved." Leng Feng said.

"What you mean is that if the Commander-in-Chief classified us into the Fifth War Zone, then it would be reasonable for us to accept the command of Chief Li?" Qiu Qingquan immediately understood Leng Feng's intention.

This trick is so clever. As long as the national rescuer is assigned to the Fifth War Zone, then Chief Li will send a telegram to his subordinates, which is common sense. Then, report the content of Chief Li's telegram. This is not a private delegation.

This is just a time difference. I guess Wuhan won’t go to Li Delin to verify it. Who dares to have the courage?

Except for Mr. Jiang himself, others probably won’t do it.

"Have you asked the Wuhan Command?"

"Well, I just ordered Guo Weiquan to send a telegram to the Chairman's Office. I believe the news should be delivered soon." Leng Feng nodded.

Regarding telegrams about national rescue, especially Leng Feng, the second group of the attendant room will always report to Lao Jiang as soon as possible. If there is no accident, Lao Jiang will also reply as soon as possible after seeing the content of the telegram. Of course, he will also first look at the meaning of these staff members in the attendant room.

However, this time, when Jiang Jiang saw Leng Feng's telegram, he felt a little embarrassed. He did not immediately approve it, but immediately called Lin Wei.

Lin Wei also knew that after reading this telegram, he would definitely summon him to ask for advice, so he did not go far and immediately came to see Jiang.

"Have you read Leng Feng's telegram?"

"After reading it, the Ministry of Justice believes that Leng Feng's request is reasonable, and the National Rescue Master should also be awarded a formal number. As for how to prepare it, it needs to be studied before confirming it."

"Well, the organizational issue can be submitted to the Military Commission for discussion and decision. As for the number, you can first set one, there is no problem. As for the subordinate, according to the demarcation of the Military Commission, the area where the National Rescue Division is located should belong to the Fifth War Zone, so let's temporarily return to the Fifth War Zone." Old Jiang thought for a moment.

The fifth war zone was in a tight spot. Since the Japanese army headed south, Li Delin sent telegrams almost every day to urge him to ask for troops that since the national rescue division was within his jurisdiction, it would be allocated to him.

From a military perspective, the national rescue division also has to face combat tasks with the Japanese army. The target of the battle is consistent with the fifth war zone, and it is also good to have unified command.

He can't always say that someone is a narrow-minded person.

This is a heroic brigade that broke out from Nanjing City. It should have retreated to the rear and rested, but now it is all given to you. If you can't fight this battle well, don't blame me.

The number was soon decided, the 105th Division of the National Revolutionary Army, but the question is, what organization should be used to save the national division, or to reorganize the division or to new division?

In the early stage of the Anti-Japanese War, the reorganized division was reorganized according to the standards of the German-armed Division. The Central Army's German-armed Division was in the fourth regiment system of the Second Brigade, plus the direct troops of the division headquarters and the reserve troops, and if the troops were fully organized, there were about 18,000 people.

In fact, the Central Army's German and Armored Division was dissatisfied with the formation. With the damage to the war, it was normally maintained at around 10,000 people. For example, after the 87th Division, after the Battle of Songhu, went to Nanjing for defense, and had a force of less than 12,000.

At this time, among the several German divisions, the largest organization was the 6th Army Training Corps, three brigades and six regiments, as well as supplementary regiments, directly under the corps, with a total force of over 30,000.

However, after two major wars, only one-third of the 30,000 people were left.

Half of them were saving the national army. When Gui Yongqing retreated, he took some to Kaifeng and reorganized them into a brigade. Some of them retreated to Jiangxi before the Battle of Nanjing to receive new recruits.

In terms of force, the national rescue team is close to the heyday of the teaching team. If the new 38th Brigade is included, its strength is three points stronger than the former teaching team.

Leng Feng and Chief Li of Xuzhou received a telegram from the Military Commission at the same time, which included two points: the National Rescue Division was reorganized into the 105th Division of the National Revolutionary Army, and was temporarily organized into the 6th Regiment of the Third Brigade. The reorganized 105th Division was assigned to the Fifth War Zone, but the 105th Division was also directly under the Military Commission and the military Commission was directly under the military commission.

This is very obvious. The 1o5th is the direct line of the Central Army. You, Chief Li, can use it, but how to use it must be authorized by the Military Commission.

In other words, when Chief Li's orders conflict with Chiang Kai-shek's fame and fortune, the 1o5th Division had to obey Chiang and the Military Commission.

After all, Chiang Kai-shek would find a legitimate reason for himself to skip Chief Li, the commander of the war zone commander, to command the 1o5th Division, and to issue combat orders directly to the 1o5th Division if necessary.

Mr. Li, the former Jiang Jiang, had long been very insightful and had no dissatisfaction. The key is to look at Leng Feng and Qiu Qingquan. The attitudes of these two people are the most important.

Not long after Lao Jiang's telegram arrived, the director of the confidential office sent Leng Feng's telegram from Pukou, which was almost done by one.

"Okay, that's great. With this telegram, I, Old Li, can do a big fight." Li Delin met Leng Feng's telegram and laughed excitedly.

"Secretary room? Please come to Huangxue Village." Li Delin grabbed the phone on the table and ordered.
