"In the afternoon, the Japanese army had already begun to make roundabout moves. As expected by the division, both Japanese troops were blocked."

"Remind Deputy Commander-in-Chief Sun to be careful of the Japanese army's big detours."

"clear."

"Have the Sichuan Army soldiers on the front position retreated?"

"Commander Wang Zhizhong has ordered that the camera will evacuate after nightfall. It is estimated that they will evacuate the position in the second half of the night. The troops will concentrate in the direction of Teng County. A regiment commander of the 125th Division was seriously injured."

"Is it the Yao Chaolun who guards Puyang Mountain?"

"The master actually knows it."

"The Puyang Mountain position is the key target of the Japanese army's attack. If the Japanese army wants to detour, they will definitely make confusing actions to attack the Puyang Mountain position. Which Japanese army unit is detouring the Longshan position?"

"According to front-line observations, it should be the 63rd Japanese Regiment."

"Seya Detachment?"

"Well, I understand. I'll send a secret message to Chief Li. In the battle of Teng County, we must do a good job of psychological equipment without reinforcements. Tang Keqin is no longer as brave as he used to be. He doesn't want to divide his troops, so don't let him divide his troops. Let's transfer the 20th Army to Xuzhou first." Leng Feng said.

"Yes, teacher!"

Xuzhou, Daotai Yamen, the commander-in-chief of the Fifth War Zone.

Since the war started, it has been all night long, and the lights have never been turned off. It is related to the life and death of the nation, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and tens of millions of people. How could Li Delin not do anything but work hard and go through hard work?

Before the war began, Chiang Kai-shek ranked two generals, Bai Jiansheng and Liu Weizhang, to Xuzhou, to enrich the military command force of the Fifth War Zone.

"Dong De, the Japanese army was divided into two large corpses and launched fierce attacks on the two major portals in Xuzhou area. Judging from the forces they gathered, there were at least 70,000 to 80,000 people, and there may be more than this number. They equipped artillery, especially hundreds of heavy artillery, and as many as hundreds of tanks, not to mention aircraft. The first batch of aircraft that the Soviet Union assisted us had not arrived yet, and we had almost no air force. This battle is really the most difficult battle I have ever fought on my own!" Bai Jiansheng said.

"Who said no, the Japanese army in Jiangnan also took action. It is estimated that in just one or two days, the Japanese army in Yangzhou area has begun to tentatively provocatively attack the 31st Army Defense Zone. I suggest whether to strengthen the deployment of troops south of the Huai River?" Liu Weizhang said.

"Let the Li Yannian Corps of Fujian go north quickly."

"Can!"

"Can the 66th Army in Yunnan also move forward?" Liu Weizhang reminded.

"Okay, this will take President Jiang's order."

"Send a telegram to the president, please order the 66th Army in Yunnan to be transferred to Shangqiu and Suxian areas to deploy defenses. In addition, the 3rd Army Group was sent to command his troops to cross the canal and attack the Japanese army sideways to reduce the pressure on the frontal troops of Tengxian!" Li Delin quickly ordered.

"Chief Li, honor the first division commander Leng!"

"Oh?" Li Delin took the message in surprise. The content of the message surprised him, the veteran.

"Dong De, what did Guoguang say?" Because it was a secret telegram sent to Li Delin, others didn't ask much, but it was okay to open this question with Bai Jiansheng and Li Delin.

"He suggested not to have any fantasies about the Tang army. Since they are unwilling to fight in dispersed ways, then just agree to him." Li Delin did not say it completely. After all, there was Liu Weizhang present, which was Lao Jiang's confidant.

"Dong De, what does it mean? Rescue soldiers are like putting out a fire. He actually suggested that we agree to Tang Keqin's rude request?" Bai Jiansheng became angry as soon as he heard this.

Liu Weizhang was also very puzzled. Tang Keqin was obviously intentional in delaying this. He didn't know if someone instructed him, but if he continued to fight like this, the 22nd Army would not last for a few days.

This reminded him of the rumor. Will Chiang really have the intention to use the Japanese to eliminate these miscellaneous troops in the Xuzhou area?

Otherwise, most of the people transferred to the Fifth War Zone are local armed forces, and there are many generals who have had grudges with Chiang Kai-shek?

"Deputy General Bai, don't be angry, please calm down the fire. Commander Leng just suggested that he was too angry. Tang Keqin relied on his strong troops and was the Central Army. If he didn't take Chief Li seriously, this is the most hateful thing." Xu Yanmou said smoothly.

"Hmph!" Bai Jiansheng threw the pencil in his hand, walked over, sat on the chair, with a dark face, and sulked.

Bai Jiansheng was not really angry with Leng Feng. It was Leng Feng's telegram that ignited his anger at Tang Keqin. This matter had nothing to do with Leng Feng. Maybe someone's suggestion was just an angry word.

Only Li Delin knew in his heart that Leng Feng’s suggestion was serious. The 20th Legion was not in the Fifth War Zone, and it was useless to order others. They would drag them as soon as they wanted to. They could always find reasons. If they didn’t want to drag them, they would have come a long time ago. Why do they have to find so many excuses?

When your 20th Legion arrives at the Fifth War Zone, it will be different. You are in my territory and are under my control. If you don’t obey my command, I can use military law to punish you.

No matter how arrogant you, Tang Keqin, dare not rebel openly, you will be the subject of thousands of people.

The overall use of the 20th legion is not bad. At least such a huge force can suddenly attack at a critical moment, then it is possible to fight an annihilation battle in the Taierzhuang area.

The purpose of Leng Feng's first phase of the "Aprils' Day" plan is also very obvious. He concentrated his efforts to fight an annihilation battle in Taierzhuang area. To fight such a large annihilation battle, a powerful and viable force was needed. The 20th Legion was considered at the beginning.

"Retrieve the telegram in front and agree to the request of Tang Keqin. The 20th Legion went north in secluded and used it separately. It is limited to three days to arrive!" Li Delin did not ask anyone for his opinion, but this time he issued an order directly.

"Dong De..."

"You don't have to say anything. I know that this will make Tang Keqin look down on us even more, but this is not the main thing. What we want is to win a battle. The Tang army is the key force and cannot let the Japanese army discover our purpose. Moreover, the Tang army is good at fighting sports wars, so it is indeed a waste of talent to let them support and defend Tengxian." Li Delin explained.

"Dong De, if there were no reinforcements, how long could the Sichuan army last? And the Xuzhou area remain empty, who will guard it?" Li Heling asked.

"Play Sun Lianzhong's second army."

"agree!"

The Northwest Army is good at defending, and Sun Lianzhong is also a powerful general of the Northwest Army. If the Second Legion comes to defend Xuzhou, it will be at least not worse than the 20th Legion.

"Since everyone agrees, let's quickly transfer the Second Army." Li Delin also made up his mind. Didn't the Central Army look down on the local army that is miscellaneous? Old Li, I will use the local army to see if I can stop the Japanese.

After receiving the order, Sun Lianzhong, who was in charge of the reorganization in Henan, did not say a word. After the order, the troops set off quickly. The 31st Division of Chifeng City took the lead and headed towards Xuzhou, which was much better than the delaying Tang Keqin.

At this time, the New 38th Brigade also began to enter Taierzhuang on a large scale, and its tentacles had extended to the Yicheng area and sent investigation troops to Zaozhuang and Linyi.

No matter what, Li Delin temporarily unifies everyone's opinions.

Leng Feng also received a detailed report and expressed his understanding of Li Delin's decision. Leng Feng also expressed his understanding of Sun Lianzhong's work to guard Taierzhuang was snatched by the New 38th Brigade. Now he is transferred to Teng County to support Teng County, which is a great move. At least Sun Lianzhong is different from Tang Keqin. He will not ignore the safety of the Sichuan Army guarding Teng County in order to preserve his strength.

In this way, the outcome of the Sichuan Army may change, and it is unknown that Wang Zhizhong will not sacrifice.

Leng Feng has done everything he can do, and he is now out of reach. However, he still did some things, such as supporting a batch of medicines and first aid kits in the Fifth War Zone. Anyway, they were blackmailed from the Japanese and there was no cost.

Leng Feng also had a group of Japanese prisoners of war, with as many as four or five thousand. These prisoners of war had been targeted by the people above. Leng Feng had never thought about exchanging these Japanese prisoners of war, but the superiors were interested in these prisoners of war, especially Chiang Kai-shek.

He needed these prisoners of war to do the work, and Leng Feng had no energy to care about this, so he agreed to hand over the prisoners of war, but it was not for nothing. Leng Feng asked for equipment from a Soviet-style tank brigade.

Lao Jiang gritted his teeth and agreed, but Lao Jiang only agreed to supply equipment, and the ammunition must be solved by Leng Feng himself, which means that you pay for buying ammunition.

Of course Leng Feng would not agree. He had no money. The honorary first division was to fight for the country. How could he do the war for the country and spend private money? Then didn’t Leng Feng become a warlord?

Lao Jiang asked him to seize it in Nanjing and asked him to hand it over. Leng Feng said it was fine, and antique calligraphy and paintings, and even cultural relics could be handed over, but the money was gone and all was spent.

No one knew how much Leng Feng had robbed the Japanese from Nanjing, so he had no way to investigate. He insisted that he had no money, and even if he sent someone to investigate, he would not be able to find anything.

The dispute continues. Su Yuan hasn't obtained it yet. This is something that cannot be rushed. After the war in Xuzhou is over, it will probably be a result.

On April 15, 2018, the weather was good and cloudless. This was a day that was destined to be recorded in history.

A heroic anti-Japanese force that broke through the siege in Nanjing has returned. This is the hero’s triumph. The whole of China and even the whole world have focused on this.

The sound of guns and cannons in Teng County seemed to be much smaller.

In Hankou, there are thousands of Wuhan people gathered on both sides of Zhongzheng Road.

Colorful flags flutter everywhere, fluttering in the wind.

At that time in the First Rebellion in Wuhan, it was probably not as lively as today.

There is also a neat military band.

"Welcome the Honorary First Division to enter Greater Wuhan!"

"Yasha, Yasha, we love you!"

"Warm welcome to the anti-Japanese hero Leng Feng to Wuhan."

"Leng Feng, do you have a girlfriend..."

...

Along the way, there were all kinds of colorful slogans, enthusiastic and unrestrained, and somewhat ambiguous slogans, which made people blush when they saw them.

The openness of the Republic of China was actually not worse than that of later generations, and sometimes even went beyond that.

This is an overcorrect era.

Chen Cixiu, Chairman of Hubei Province and Commander-in-Chief of Wuhan Garrison, personally went to the station to welcome the Honorary First Division into Hankou. The entire Yudaimen Station was surrounded by military and police.
