Only then did Leng Feng deeply understand why the ancients said that kindness does not control the army, and righteousness does not manage finances anymore.

If he stood from the perspective of the New 38th Brigade, of course he would be very angry at the delay of the "Tang" Legion. His troops were dead every minute and every second. He would hide in the mountains to watch the show.

No one can accept this.

But if you look at it from a global perspective, "Tang"'s behavior cannot be considered wrong. Although he has his own selfish intentions, he is right from the perspective of military command.

The Japanese army is in full swing. At this time, attacking may not be able to defeat the enemy in front of them. It may even arouse the opponent's alertness and quickly leave the battlefield.

In that case, everything that was arranged before would be in vain.

Sticking to Xuzhou was just to delay the pace of the Japanese attack. Everyone understood that if the Japanese army really had to occupy Xuzhou, the limited power would be really irresistible.

As soon as the war machine started, the Japanese army's weapons and ammunition could be continuously transported to China from their factory production lines, but from Chinese military-industrial enterprises, some of which were still in the process of relocation, the daylily became cold when they settled down.

By then, the production in the rear will not keep up with the consumption ahead, and not to mention that it is not as good as others, so this battle will not be won.

This is also one of the arguments that many "pessimistic" people believe that "the war of resistance will definitely lose."

In Xuzhou, the purpose of the fight is to hold back the pace of the Japanese attack. The longer you defend, the better. It is best to be able to stay for a year or two, which is even more ideal.

How to defend and how much it is to fight, it will test the soldiers and commanders ahead.

If you hurt the Japanese army, it will inevitably cause bloody revenge on the other side, but you can also fight for a period of time. If you don’t hurt, it means you will consume each other. If you lose 7 to 1 or 8 to 1, you will not be able to afford it!

When all these elites are exhausted, what else can you fight back?

Therefore, in the Battle of Xuzhou, he was based on defending and fought him one or two beautiful counterattacks, severely damaged the Japanese army and delayed the fall of Xuzhou.

If this principle was followed, the "Tang" army should have taken a long time ago. Although the timing was not the best, attacking at this time could alleviate the pressure from Taierzhuang. As his two armies were pressing against him, even if the Segu Detachment was covered with iron nails, he could still cut off a large piece!

If the Segaya detachment is severely damaged, this Japanese army will surely retreat temporarily. Once the Segaya detachment retreats, the Sakamoto detachment will inevitably be alone, which interrupts the Japanese army's strategic plan to join Xuzhou.

As for how many days it can be delayed, it depends on the extent to which the Japanese army is severely damaged.

Maybe ten days and half a month, maybe it takes longer, and this is indefinitely true.

However, at this time, "Tang" Keqin had ambitions. He wanted to eat the Seya Detachment, and the situation would be different. Leng Feng also wanted to eat the Seya Detachment.

If you want to eat Segaya detachment, it is indeed not the best time. Segaya detachment's agility has not reached its peak yet. If you bump into it at this time, both sides will suffer losses.

The New 38th Brigade was destined to make a huge sacrifice. It had to wash away at least half of the spirit and morale of the Segu Detachment in Taierzhuang before it could take action.

Is Tang Keqin just waiting for this opportunity? For him, it is not impossible to attack now, but if it is a little later, the results will be greater, and the results of him and Tang's army will be greater.

How could someone who has never thought about other people’s life or death?

Fortunately, Taierzhuang's troops are much stronger than in history. Not only did they replace them with the New 38th Brigade guarding Taierzhuang, but they also allocated the 2nd Army, which is good at guarding, to the New 38th Brigade for use. This is a double insurance.

On the evening of the 28th, after a fierce battle for one day, both China and Japan seemed to be tired, and it might be that they were accumulating their strength for tomorrow's battle, and the sound of gunfire on the position actually stopped.

"Hikao, Cao Xingyang urgently sent a telegram!"

"Hey, why did Yang Rui appear in Lanling Town?" Luo Yufeng got the content of the telegram and screamed in shock.

"What Rui?"

"Yang Rui?"

"Yang Rui of the Special Forces?" Qin Yankun was also shocked. The Honorary First Division had already retreated to Wuhan for rest. Why did Yang Rui of the Special Forces appear on the battlefield in Xuzhou?

"Will you be performing any special task?"

"Also, the scouts they sent discovered that there were a large number of Japanese troops fighting in the Guoliji area." Luo Yufeng said again.

"It should be the Tang Army. No other troops are active there except them." Luo Yufeng breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the Tang Army was not watching the show, it would be fine even if it helped him restrain some of the Japanese army.

"Yang Rui has two hundred people around him, and a lieutenant colonel staff officer from the Fifth War Zone. Could it be that Lao Leng transferred the secret service regiment to the Fifth War Zone, but he hasn't heard of it?" Luo Yufeng frowned.

"Isn't it clear if you send a telegram?"

"Don't worry, ask Cao Xingyang and the others how they met Yang Rui and the others." Luo Yufeng ordered.

"Okay!"

Cao Xingyang's telegram was sent quickly. When they first arrived at the periphery of Lanling Town, they were bitten by Japanese pursuers. The battle was fierce. They were carrying a large amount of supplies and were at a disadvantage.

At a critical moment, a team suddenly broke out from the back of the Japanese army. It was so fierce that the Japanese army was defeated and suffered heavy casualties.

When the two armies gathered together, they were all happy, but they were actually their own people.

Cao Xingyang was trained in the workshop of the Honorary First Division, so he naturally knew Yang Rui from the Special Forces Corps. Both of them were young and promising young officers. Although they didn't have much contact, they both knew each other.

Yang Rui didn't expect that the one he saved was Cao Xingyang and others from the New 38th Brigade. This time he was troubled and his identity could not be hidden. However, they also planned to go to Taierzhuang. When they went to Taierzhuang to see Luo Yufeng, their identity could naturally be hidden.

Anyway, I met them all, so the two teams gathered together and camped in Lanling Town.

When the two teams gather together, their strength will increase greatly, especially when both teams each kill a Japanese artillery position, it is simply a fateful arrangement!

The two teams gathered together, with more than 400 people, and they were equipped with ten cannons and there were so many shells to play casually. They didn't believe it when they said it. There were cars, pack horses, food and drinks. There was no need to worry about supply issues within ten days.

Although Yang Rui and the others were not chased by the Japanese behind, they suffered a lot, and they still had some ammunition, so their supplies were not that abundant.

The purpose of Yang Rui's help in this battle was to ask the brothers to borrow some supplies, but he didn't expect to help his family.

They are all their own people, so there is no need to be polite. Cao Xingyang and the others are grateful to Yang Rui for helping. If it weren't for them, they would have been miserable today.

The two teams miraculously gathered together in Lanling Town.

Not only Luo Yufeng could not have imagined that, but even Leng Feng was slightly surprised to receive Yang Rui's telegram. In such a place, the two teams had no agreement in advance, and the probability of collision was very small. Needless to say, one party happened to pass by and saved the other party. This was only the plot in the novel, which actually happened in reality.

As soon as Yang Rui's telegram arrived, Luo Yufeng's telegram came.

"Use encrypted frequency to tell Luo Yufeng and Qin Yankun about our situation, but only the two of them know, so it cannot be reported outside!" Leng Feng called Xue Ping and ordered.

"yes!"

Luo Yufeng received the telegram and was so shocked that his eyes and mouth were too big. He didn't come back to his senses for a long time. The truth of the matter was something he never expected.

It's simply unimaginable.

"Old Qin, please take a look first, and destroy it immediately after reading it. It cannot be rumored!" Luo Yufeng grabbed the cigarette box and matches on the table, "I'll go out to smoke a cigarette first, calm down."

Qin Yanduan took the message suspiciously, and he instantly petrified. How could this be possible? Such a big action actually kept them all in the dark?

No, this should be a top secret operation. I'm afraid that the commander-in-chief and senior management of the Fifth War Zone may not necessarily have a few people.

"Destroyed?"

"I burned it after reading it. I dare not be careless about such a big thing." Qin Yankun said.

"Why didn't Lao Leng tell us about such an important plan in advance?" Luo Yufeng was smoking a cigarette, feeling a little nervous. This feeling of not being trusted was very uncomfortable.

"I think it's not that the teacher doesn't trust us, but that he has other considerations!" Qin Yankun calmed down. If Leng Feng intentionally concealed it, he wouldn't have told him the truth now.

“What are the considerations?”

"He was afraid that we knew that he was by our side and would not be able to fight with one's back, and would not be able to drag him to death in Taierzhuang and waste the Japanese army's Segu Detachment to death." Qin Yankun said.

Luo Yufeng was silent. Qin Yankun's words were not unreasonable. If he had known early in the morning that Leng Feng and the First Division of Honor had not left, but were hiding in Weishan Lake and waiting for the opportunity, could he still fight the Japanese army in Taierzhuang to death?

He himself cannot answer this question. Once a person has dependence, he will easily lose his ability to think and judge independently.

Although Luo Yufeng was not like this, if he knew that Leng Feng was by his side, he might have been unable to help but send a telegram to ask for help two days ago.

"Also, the Honorary First Division is in Weishan Lake. I'm afraid not many people know about this. The entire Fifth War Zone now knows that people can count it with one hand, and they must include the two people from above." Qin Yankun said, "The teacher is building a plank road and secretly traveling to Chencang. He has done such a big game. The plan must not be helped by the top peak. There must be no careless in keeping the secret. I guess that only you and I know the troops participating in the Fifth War Zone now, and no one else knows."

Luo Yufeng nodded. Qin Yankun's analysis made sense. He was too impatient just now and almost blamed Leng Feng for mistakenly because this was his distrust of himself, so he did not tell him in advance.

"To a certain extent, only by cheating one's own people can we deceive the enemy. Even you and I have hidden it, so the Japanese must have not received any news now." Qin Yankun also figured it out.

"Old Qin, after you analyzed this, I feel much more relieved." Luo Yufeng nodded.

"If the teacher doesn't trust us, how could he hand over such a critical task as guarding Taierzhuang to us and allocate the armored brigade to us?"

"The key to this battle now is that we can consume more vitality in Taierzhuang and win more chances of victory for the counterattack!"

"Tang Keqin wants to pick peaches, it's so beautiful!" Luo Yufeng is not a fool. After Qin Yankun's guidance, he has already learned about it and has learned about Tang Keqin's intentions.

To be continued.
