"Lao Luo and the others have suffered a lot of losses. In less than two days, more than 700 casualties were killed or killed. I really don't know how many days will Taier Village fight?" Xie Jiyuan sighed after reading the battle report.

"There are always casualties in wars, and this is impossible to avoid. The number of casualties in the Japanese army is still above the New 38th Brigade, which is also a comforting news." Leng Feng smoked his cigarette.

It turned out that Leng Feng smoked at most half a pack of cigarettes a day. Since he received Luo Yufeng's first battle report in the morning, he started smoking, and a pack of cigarettes soon came to an end.

"Today's offensive and defensive battle is the key. The Japanese army's logistics supply line was disturbed by our enemy's troops. Today, the Japanese army has not many shells to use in this battle." Xie Jiyuan said.

"What are Tang Keqin's actions?"

"The main force is still in the Baodukou Mountains, but a regiment was sent to operate in Fei County!"

"He is not stupid. Now the Japanese army is advancing at both ends and fighting on their own. Once they join forces, it will be more pressure on us. Fei County is the key." Leng Feng said, "Once the Japanese army occupy Fei County, they can open up contact with the 10th Division westward. In this way, the Seya Detachment will have an extra supply line, which is very unfavorable for our next action."

"So, you sent Liang Dong to Qingcheng?" Xie Jiyuan asked in surprise.

"This is just one of the reasons!" Leng Feng said, "I'm extinguishing the cigarette butt in his hand.

"One of the reasons, what about the second?"

"It's not the time yet." Leng Feng did not answer, looking a little unfathomable. Xie Jiyuan smiled. Leng Feng's plan always takes three steps and five steps. It would be nice if he could see the next step.

"The teacher, the news I just received is very likely to increase troops on the Chinese battlefield."

"oh?"

"On April 4 this year, the Japanese held a special military meeting in the imperial court. The level is very high, and the level of confidentiality is necessitated. We heard some news from Tokyo's secret channels and sent it back to the country."

"Japan wants to expand its military equipment, recruited 20 divisions in one go, and specially allocated 4 billion yen of military expenditure for the Chinese war!" Leng Feng couldn't help but jump when he saw this information.

In the current Republic of China, the fiscal revenue of the year is equivalent to 1 billion yen. Japan has allocated 4 billion yuan for the Chinese war, which is four times that of China's fiscal revenue. Of course, Japan's total economic output is much larger than that of China, and this is not a small amount of money.

With the expansion of the army, plus 4 billion military spending, Japan has obviously reached a consensus on "full-invasion of China".

This is obviously not good news.

"Zhiyi, the source of the news?"

"People from Shanghai," Yang Zhiyi explained.

Leng Feng nodded. He understood who passed the news, and now only that channel can get such top-secret information.

There was intelligence, but the problem was that he believed in the accuracy of intelligence. Leng Feng knew that before the Battle of Xuzhou, the Japanese base camp had different voices on whether to launch a full-scale war against China, or there were considerable resistance from the upper class. For example, strategists like Ishihara believed that the Soviet Union was the enemy of Japan and that it was not appropriate to conquer China by force or to be too eager to conquer it by force.

But his opinion was that those officers who came to power through the "incident" had long been unable to control their inner ambitions to make achievements and expand their territory.

Tokyo also has a glimmer of hope to win over "Cheng" and hopes to establish a puppet regime. However, it is now found that Chiang has a firm will to fight against Japan and will not agree to the conditions offered by Tokyo.

In fact, the Japanese asked for the price too high, forcing Chiang to the road of fighting.

"The accuracy of the information?" Xie Jiyuan expressed doubts. Why has such an important thing been more than twenty days and there is no news from the outside world?

"We did not get the relevant documents, but someone saw their conversation records, and these messages were passed through the contents of the conversation records.

"That's just that it cannot be confirmed?"

"I think there will be no false information. At this time, the Japanese don't have many choices." Yang Zhiyi said, "If we resolutely resist the war, the Japanese will not be able to take the initiative to seek peace. Even if there is a conditional peace, we still want to be harsh, which is not something we can accept."

"Japan is a small country with limited resources. We can afford it, but they can't afford it. They want to win quickly, so they must concentrate powerful forces to destroy our strength, expand our army, and increase military spending. This is the meaning of the question. I think this information is real and reliable." Leng Feng analyzed.

"Will the Japanese keep the intelligence so tightly? Will it have an impact on the war situation in Xuzhou?"

"It's hard to say, there is no news of the Japanese army's increase in troops to China yet. If so, then there is only..."

"Kanto Army!" A flash of lightning flashed through Leng Feng's mind.

Xie Jiyuan was also stunned. If the Kwantung Army sneaked into the pass, even if it was just a division, it would put huge pressure on the Xuzhou battlefield.

I'm afraid that I'm still confused here.

Although the Kwantung Army was very powerful at this time, it was not a few years later that it was so awesome. During the Lugou Bridge Incident, the Kwantung Army drew troops to enter Inner Mongolia and North China to fight, and about four or five divisions left behind.

If you count the Japanese garrisons in the Northeast, the total strength of the Kwantung Army will not exceed 300,000.

Whether the Japanese army dispatched troops from the local area or directly pulled out troops from the Kwantung Army to go south, it would put substantial pressure on the Xuzhou war zone.

The Japanese people’s strategic goals are not clear. In fact, they often do things without thinking about it, but they don’t know how to end it.

The military and foreign affairs are quarreling, digging pits, or even going in the opposite direction. They have deep resentment and contradictions, but only if they have the same goal, they can barely move forward together.

"Do you want to send a telegram to remind Chief Li?"

"How to explain the source of the information?" Leng Feng asked.

"It can be said to be more tactful. You can't do nothing, right?" Xie Jiyuan said.

"I'd better not, I'll remind the Military Control Commission and let them pay attention to the movements of the Kwantung Army. I think Dai Yunong will understand." Leng Feng shook his head.

"What is the meaning of the division seat? I will use the mouth of the Military Control Commission to remind Chief Li?"

"The Military Control Commission is still somewhat powerful in Peking and Tianjin. If the Japanese army really dispatched troops from the Kwantung Army, it would be impossible to completely cover it up. With the capabilities of the military agents, there will always be a trace of clues. In this way, we don't have to come forward directly." Leng Feng said.

"Then how do we explain to the Military Control Commission?"

"No need to explain, can I have no strategic vision?" Leng Feng smiled. He was responsible for the second half of the April Fools' Day plan, and the situation he faced was much more complicated.

Of course, we need to consider many aspects, especially possible changes in the war situation. Where will the Japanese army withdraw reinforcements from? This is of course within his consideration.

The fierce battle in Taierzhuang continued, and blood stained every brick red. The battle was even more tragic than the previous one of Nanjing's guard Guanghua Sect.

The officers and soldiers were buried alive, bombed to pieces, and the enemy's corpses were built up directly as bunkers to cover and shoot.

When the battle reached the most intense time, it was still a hand-to-hand combat. The Fighting Big Sword Team of the New 38th Brigade, when it faced the Japanese bayonet, it was a one-sided massacre!

With one knife, the Japanese's head and neck were separated.

The Japanese army wanted to occupy Taierzhuang City before dark. In addition to calling for artillery fire support, they also called planes to bomb the new 38th Brigade's position.

However, this time, the arrogant Japanese pilot suffered a huge loss.

Lao Jiang promised to take off from the 3rd Air Force brigade assigned to the Fifth War Zone from Guide Forward Airport, and when the Japanese plane bombed Taierzhuang and was about to turn around and return.

22 Chinese Air Force fighter jets suddenly appeared behind them.

The Japanese pilots were panicked. Most of their ammunition had been fired. Facing the Chinese Air Force fighter jets with live ammunition, they could only dodge or escape!

But the Chinese Air Force had already held its breath, and this time it was a coordinated air-ground operation.

When a Japanese plane was found in Taierzhuang, he immediately notified the airport. The airport pilot was on standby for 24 hours a day and received the order to board the plane quickly!

Finally, when the Japanese plane was about to turn around and return, they stopped the group of jackals who bullied the Chinese.

It was originally thought that there was no Chinese Air Force stationed in Xuzhou, and air supremacy was already under the control of the Japanese army. Therefore, most of the missions were bombers, with only four fighter jets escorting.

Although the performance of Chinese fighter jets is not as good as that of the Japanese army in some aspects, Chinese fighter jets come with anger and murderous intent.

The two Chinese destroyer squadrons, a total of 22 aircraft, were all dispatched. Under the leadership of the two squadron leaders, they rushed to the Japanese bomber formation fiercely.

The Japanese army had a total of twelve aircraft, four Nakajima 97 fighters, and eight Broncos. These were bombers that the Japanese army urgently purchased from Italy. Because the new bomber production capacity was insufficient, the old 93 heavy explosion was too far behind and could not meet the requirements of the army, so they could only urgently purchase a batch for the Chinese battlefield.

This type of bomber is a twin-engine aircraft. It was a relatively advanced bomber at that time, but its practical combat capability needs to be tested.

A premeditated air battle started over Taierzhuang!

China's 22 "Ira-15" fighter jets were almost two to one advantage over the 12 Japanese aircraft, and the Japanese pilots were at a disadvantage from the beginning.

Seeing his fighter plane, the officers and soldiers on the position were so excited that they were blown up by the Japanese plane and could hardly raise their heads. Finally, they saw their plane.

escape!

The Japanese squadron leader who was responsible for commanding this bombing mission immediately issued an order to his subordinates. He was not stupid, one to two, so there was no chance of winning that would not be necessary to fight.

What's more, their ammunition has been consumed almost the same. Without ammunition, the airborne weapons are just a pile of scrap iron. Can they use the plane to hit it?

But the squadron leader still underestimated the martial spirit of his pilot!

These brave pilots are worthy of being a warrior. They flew the fighter plane and bravely met them, and were then beaten into a brilliant firework by the Chinese!

"Idiot, the plane is much more valuable than your life..." The unwilling squadron leader Lieutenant Ani cursed angrily, but he could not stop his subordinates who had already killed their eyes from being loyal to the Japanese Empire.

It's over, it's over...

Seeing that one plane was blown up by a volley, Lieutenant Anhui didn't care what he would be punished when he went back, and fled westward in his br20 bomber.

The captain of the seventh expulsion aircraft, Lu Tianlong, found that Anjing was running away in the plane, and then called his companions and flew the plane and chased after him.
