Chapter 498: Leng Feng Wants Cannons
"Okay, I accept your suggestion. The new 38th Brigade stays in the fifth war zone, but what do you plan to arrange it?" Lao Jiang asked.¥f
"Taierzhuang!" Leng Feng said slowly.
Leng Feng never thought of stealing other people's credit, but if the New 38th Brigade guarded Taierzhuang, he would be more at ease because it was his direct army.
He made a military order, so the April Fools' Day plan cannot be missed.
"Do you want to put the New 38th Brigade in Taierzhuang?" Lao Jiang couldn't help but take a breath of air conditioning. Of course, he knew the importance of Taierzhuang. Once the Japanese army was tempted to enter, a fierce battle would definitely break out in Taierzhuang.
In the combat plan in southern Shandong formulated by the Military Command, Taierzhuang is the most important chess piece.
Taier Village has no danger to guard, but it must be guarded.
Therefore, the troops destined to be guarding Taierzhuang will suffer a great loss.
"Okay, okay, Leng Guoguang, I, the principal, can agree to you whatever you want." Lao Jiang was also moved.
He didn't expect that Leng Feng would let his new 38th Brigade, which he started, go to guard Taierzhuang. That was destined to be the most difficult battle and the pressure he was under was the greatest.
"I want heavy artillery, at least three artillery regiments." Leng Feng said, "and enough shells."
Old Jiang was stunned. He didn't expect that what Leng Feng wanted was not food, money, ammunition, or even other things, but artillery regiments. How many heavy artillery pieces were there in the entire **** troops?
Leng Feng needs three heavy artillery regiments at one mouth. Not to mention that he doesn't have it, even if he has it, he can't draw it out.
Leng Feng actually knew that there were not many heavy artillery in the entire Chinese team with a caliber of more than 100 mm, and the 150 mm caliber howitzers can be equipped with at most four independent field heavy artillery regiments.
He wanted three words to open his mouth, which was obviously a difficult situation for Jiang Jiang.
Of course, he didn't expect Chiang Kai-shek to send him three heavy artillery regiments in a regular manner. This was impossible. Chiang Kai-shek was willing, so other generals should blow up the nest.
"There are not three heavy artillery regiments, but I can give you a mountain artillery regiment, a 150-heavy howitzer regiment and a 105-heavy howitzer regiment. I can give you up to 10,000 ammunition!" Old Jiang gritted his teeth. This time he had invested a lot of money.
If you lose, don’t fight in the Wuhan battle and surrender directly.
Leng Feng breathed a sigh of relief. Jiang Jiang was able to give him three artillery regiments, one of which was a heavy artillery regiment, which was quite beyond his heart's expectations.
The Honorary First Division also has two artillery regiments, one heavy artillery regiment, and one mixed artillery regiment of mountain artillery and field artillery (twenty-four each of mountain artillery and field artillery), which are larger than the general artillery regiment organization.
In this way, Leng Feng had five artillery regiments, including two heavy artillery regiments, seventy-two 150 caliber howitzers, 84 75mm caliber insurgents and field artillery, 36 105 howitzers, plus mountain artillery and infantry cannons and a small number of war defense cannons, the Honorary First Division and the artillery units combined with more than three hundred artillery pieces.
Such powerful firepower completely exceeds the firepower of a field pack horse division of the Japanese army. Of course, in addition to its own artillery, the Isogai Division also has at least two field heavy artillery corps and other artillery units.
In terms of total firepower equipment, Leng Feng's honorary first division and the new 38th Brigade are truly comparable to the Japanese Isogai Division in terms of heavy firepower.
Leng Feng issued a military order, and if he could not defeat the main force of the Isoga Division, he would voluntarily resign from his military position as honoring the commander of the 1st Division.
When they returned to the small building, Wu Xiaoyun had not yet rested. She had been waiting for him in the living room downstairs, and Guo Weiquan and others were waiting with them. They were all worried about Leng Feng.
"The boss is back!"
"Why don't you go to sleep? I don't have to do anything tomorrow?" Leng Feng came in and took off his coat. Seeing that almost everyone was not sleeping, he couldn't help but get angry.
"Boss, that...isn't it for your own difficulties, right?"
"What's the dilemma? You all want to go wherever you want. I'm fine. I'm fine. I'll go to bed. We might be going back tomorrow." Leng Feng waved his hand.
"Yes." Yao Heizi waved his hand, and the brothers in Yasha's group walked cleanly in an instant.
"They are also worried about you..."
"I know, they are worrying about it. Can Mr. Jiang do anything else to me?" Leng Feng said, "Why are you not obedient and you are thinking about it with them?"
"I'm worried and can't sleep, so I went downstairs to wait for you to come back with everyone." Wu Xiaoyun said.
"I'm back now. It's getting late, it's time to rest." Leng Feng glanced at the study room upstairs, "Director Liu hasn't left yet?"
"From the posture, I guess I won't leave tonight."
"Don't you want to rest when the teacher is so difficult?" Leng Feng was a little angry.
"Don't, if Uncle Yang doesn't want to, he'll drive people away." Wu Xiaoyun stopped Leng Feng.
"You go back to your room to rest first, I'll see what they are talking about?" Leng Feng said.
Wu Xiaoyun knew that she couldn't stop Leng Feng, so she could only watch him walk towards the study.
"Teacher, it's getting late, it's time for you to rest!"
"Guoguang, Director Liu and I have something to talk about, so you can rest first." Yang Jie's voice came from it.
"Okay, teacher, it's cold at night. I'll bring you a coat in." Leng Feng said.
"OK!"
Leng Feng took a coat and pushed the door in and put it on Yang Jie.
"Director Liu, if you need it, tell the people outside and ask them to bring you a coat." Leng Feng said.
"Thank you, Commander Leng." Liu Fei nodded.
"Teacher, Director Liu, I won't disturb your conversation anymore, Leng Feng will leave."
"Second Chief Geng Guang, you are such a good student!" Liu Fei exclaimed.
"He is not mature enough and needs more experience." Yang Jie's smile on his face was obviously very satisfied with Leng Feng.
“Where did we talk about it?”
"The defense issues related to Taierzhuang..."
Nanjing, Central China Front Army Command.
"Latest news: Chiang Kai-shek went to Xuzhou in person today to hold a high-level military meeting, which must have a lot to do with the current situation." Takeo Imai, as the intelligence department head, reported the information he received to Shinroku Hata as soon as possible.
“Is there any content for a military conference?”
"No, this is top secret, and I have not yet grasped the situation in this regard."
"What about the first division of honor?"
"Our deal with the Honorary First Division is underway. The first batch of 150 expatriates have been released, and we have paid a considerable price." Takeo Imai reported.
"How many expatriates are we in custody in the hands of the First Honor Division?"
"There are conservatively estimated to be about 2,000 people, and many of them are diplomatic officials of our consulate in Nanjing. These people should have enjoyed diplomatic immunity, but..."
“But what?”
"The Honorary First Division does not recognize that these people were captured by them, and they refuse to provide a list of expatriates." Takeo Imai said helplessly.
I can only say that the other party is too cunning and does not give them any opportunity to take advantage of.
Although Zhang Fengxiang has no diplomatic experience, Leng Feng reminded him that any Japanese requests should be carefully studied and reported immediately if they are not accurate.
The Japanese asked for a list of expatriates. Not to mention that Zhang Fengxiang saw the risks inside, Leng Feng could tell at a glance what the Japanese wanted to do.
The Japanese wanted to use diplomatic immunity to put pressure on the Wuhan National Government to let him release him, but he pushed him out of no way, saying that these people were not captured, or that in order to protect their true identity, these people did not say their true names, and they could not distinguish between the Honor Division and could only be temporarily detained.
The Japanese side made a request to meet the detained expatriates. Wuhan side refused on the grounds that the two armies were fighting and insecurity.
Of course, this is the result of the tough attitude of the Honor Division.
Japanese Foreign Minister Hirota kept making harsh diplomatic remarks, asking the Japanese army to severely punish the Honorary Division and rescue captured Japanese expatriates and diplomats.
In fact, when Chiang Kai-shek summoned Leng Feng, he also talked about this issue. Wuhan faced not only pressure from Japan, but also pressure from the West. For example, Germany already has the tendency to stand on the same front as Japan, and some Western values have allowed Japan to gain support from some European and American countries.
Because this is a kind of consistency of value recognition and interest demands, it puts pressure on Wuhan in openly and secretly, hoping that the Honorary First Division can release Japanese diplomatic officials in China captured from Nanjing.
The reason is naturally diplomatic immunity. Diplomatic officials are not troops. They have no weapons and no acts of killing civilians. They should not be detained, nor should they become prisoners.
However, the Honorary First Division and the Japanese army were in a state of war before, and these requirements could not be agreed. Although there is no ceasefire now, at least there is no large-scale battle between the two sides.
Therefore, many people think that China and Japan can negotiate on this matter and reach an agreement on the release of Japanese diplomatic officials.
The key issue is still cold front.
This group of Japanese diplomats was detained in Leng Feng's hands. If he was willing to let go, then there was no problem. If he was unwilling to let go, no one could do anything to him.
Because he never admitted that this group of Japanese diplomats was in his own hands.
This made the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs hate Leng Feng to the core. They had never seen such a rogue general in the Chinese team who actually talked lies with his eyes open.
But there is no way to deal with him, because the explanation he gave makes people unable to argue.
Perhaps the Japanese expatriates in detained include officials from the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but in order to cover up their identity, they did not choose to tell the truth. As we all know, there is a special intelligence agency in the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the special high school course. In other words, it is very common for diplomatic officials to work part-time intelligence spies in the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Not to mention, the Honorary Division has not discovered an official from the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Even if it is discovered, it is necessary to identify it. If there is a dual identity, the so-called diplomatic immunity does not exist.
China can naturally compare how intelligence agents of hostile countries deal with them. If Japan does not know about this, it can be a voluntary reminder.
This is what Leng Feng said to Lao Jiang, with a very good reason, at least there is no place to refute it literally.
Although Lao Jiang felt that doing this was a bit unauthorized, China and Japan have become like this. I can find a reasonable reason not to let others go. I just don’t let others go. What can you do to me?
To reason, I can do it, ** law, I can do it, how can you do it to me?
Chiang Kai-shek really didn't dare to force Leng Feng to release people. He was too impatient to force him. He really dared to kill people. Anyway, he never admitted to arresting these people. No one knew about these people if they died. He destroyed the corpse and traces, crushed bones and ashes, and no trace would be left at that time.
To be honest, Leng Feng really can't kill civilians. He has a bottom line, although many of these Japanese expatriates come to China have bad intentions.
But Leng Feng did not hesitate at all to kill these officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. They came to China to serve in aggression. They were just soldiers in military uniforms. Although they did not need to kill people themselves, their hands were covered with Chinese blood, so it would not be an exaggeration to kill them.
Even if there are one or two innocent people, who is not innocent of the dead Chinese people?
