"The thirty-six vehicles of fuel were all robbed by Chief Liang and the others!" Long Yingqin excitedly rushed into the command center with the message he had just received.

"Oh. How were Liang Dong and the others injured?"

"There are not much casualties. The Japanese second-line garrison guarding the oil convoy is the Japanese army's second-line garrison. The combat effectiveness is not as good as the front-line field division. When the cavalry is against the infantry, we suffered twenty-nine casualties."

"Liang Dong fought well in this battle."

"Chief of Staff Liang asked, how to deal with the oil?"

"Did they hide the oil?"

"Yes, the car and oil are hidden in a hidden place, and the traces are processed. The Japanese cannot find that place for a while, but it will be hard to say after a long time." Long Yingqin said, "The amount of oil is huge and not easy to hide."

"Then transfer quickly. Before the Japanese can react, move to the area we control." Leng Feng said, "If necessary, you can ask the local anti-Japanese guerrillas to assist."

That is thirty-six vehicles of fuel, which are now strategic materials. Leng Feng also needs them now. His car, tanks also need fuel to move.

China has no way to produce and refine gasoline and diesel, so it can only rely on imports. Foreigners took advantage of China's national crisis and the price of gasoline and diesel has increased more than twice as much as before the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan.

This is still the government procurement, and the price of private gasoline and diesel is even more expensive, which ordinary people cannot buy.

Therefore, this batch of oil is also a considerable asset to Leng Feng, which can at least save him a lot of money. The little gasoline and diesel assigned to him by Lao Jiang was not enough.

Therefore, he had to find an extra solution to maintain his equipment.

Only when the head of the family knew that the firewood and rice were expensive, and the honorary first division was not easy to be a family. Once it was expanded into an army, it would be even worse.

The general army cannot use oil materials, so Leng Feng does not intend to distribute them to others, but asking for help from others will naturally be rewarded.

Weapons and ammunition are easy to say.

Especially the Eighth Route Army, which had just arrived at the border between Shanxi, Shandong and Henan, needed weapons and ammunition to strengthen its own strength. As long as Leng Feng conveyed this meaning, Commander Xu of the 12o Division immediately responded and organized troops to cover Liang Dong to transport the 36 vehicles of fuel to western Shandong.

Leng Feng got oil, and the Eighth Route Army got weapons and equipment from at least one regiment, as well as some strategic materials that they urgently needed, such as food, clothing and medicine.

In this way, the first cooperation between the two armies on the battlefield was very pleasant.

Of course, there is a reason why the 12o Division is willing to cooperate with Leng Feng. On the Huainan battlefield, the Honorary Division had worked with the SJ Jiangbei Detachment, and the relationship was very harmonious.

Among the numerous GMD troops, the Honorary First Division is a brand new team. It has never participated in any encirclement and suppression of HJ, nor has it arrested or persecuted any *Communist member.

Since its birth, this army was designed to fight against the existence of Japanese invaders. It fought bloody battles for half a year and created a miracle that shocked the world.

If you cooperate with such a force, the 12o Division had no objection.

Of course, these are all later things, let’s press and not mention them first.

Let’s talk about the Japanese Ishiguro Regiment seeing the opportunity, and directly withdrew from Hiroo. Kenji Doihara angrily scolded Ishiguro Sadatsu for being incompetent, but the troops were withdrawn, so it was no longer realistic to order them to fight back.

On the other side of Yutai, Sakashi Ichiro's help telegrams were sent one by one, and it was obvious that he was already extremely anxious.

The Japanese infantry brigade sent to rescue was slow and rushed to Yutai until the morning of the 19th. He wanted to connect with the trapped Sakashi United team inside and outside to break through, but Luo Yufeng took the plan and got in together.

Luo Yufeng, who arrived with heavy weapons, immediately launched a fierce attack on the Japanese army surrounded.

When Kenji Doihara learned that the Sakashi troops were besieged and that the Chinese army still had heavy artillery, he had to send a call from Lieutenant General Tokugawa Yotoshi, the commander of the First Flight Regiment, asked him to coordinate some of the 6th Army's aviation forces to support the Sakashi troops in Yutai.

A fierce battle broke out in Yutai!

The newly promoted GJ elite 38th Division surrounded the Sakashi Detachment of the 14th Division of the Japanese Army and a brigade that later supported a total of more than 4,000 people.

Starting from noon on the 18th, the fierce battle to the evening on the 19th, in one and a half days, the Sakashi Detachment suffered nearly 2,000 casualties, and the New 38th Division also exceeded 1,000 casualties.

The Banxi Detachment had less than 2,000 remaining soldiers, and they retreated to Yutai County. The New 38th Division surrounded him with nearly 10,000 people.

Kenji Doihara received the battle report from Sakaniichiro, and couldn't help but sigh to the sky. If he could only take over the main force of the 14th Division, it would be not difficult to save Sakanishi Detachment.

But time has passed, and the headquarters and the North China Front Army Command reached an opinion, ordering the 14th Division to go south to cut off the Longhai Line and not to disobey military orders.

Even though Kiyoshi Katsuki, Tomoko Miharu and others helped him fight for it, they failed to change the attitude of the base camp. In the eyes of the Tokyo bosses, it is much more important to surround and annihilate the elite GMD army in Xuzhou area than an honorary first division.

The empire's current strategic goal is to conquer China by force and force the Chiang government in Wuhan to surrender.

In the eyes of those in Tokyo, as long as the Chiang government surrenders, a mere force will not be able to stop the general situation at all. Maybe at that time, they can use Chiang's hands to eliminate this terrible enemy.

There are too many things about destroying the Great Wall in China in history. Don’t they just like to do such things?

Never accept lessons and keep making the same mistakes. How can such a nation have a future?

As for the Sakashi Detachment, it depends on their luck. If they can break through by themselves, it will be better. If they cannot break through, they can last until the empire attacks.

The above meaning was not clearly stated, but Kenji Doihara could hear that this was regardless of the life or death of the Sakashi Detachment. If he disobeyed the order of the Shangfeng, he would have to replace him.

The commander of the First Army, Katsuki Kiyoshi, has been removed from his post and returned to Tokyo for questioning. The new commander of the First Army is Lieutenant General Miji Umezu, the deputy chief of staff.

However, he will not come to China for the time being, and the military affairs of the First Army will be managed by the North China Front Command.

In other words, Kenji Doihara's current immediate boss has been replaced by a great general, who is very happy to be successful, and has a very small mind and will definitely revenge.

This is still a nobleman. In Doihara's view, Hoichiko in the Temple is limited. If there is no one who is a good teacher, at most one Nakasa will retire in the army.

If the North China Front Army had not had Chief of Staff Naosaburo Okabe, it would have been like today. This was a guy who would enjoy his life.

Although Kenji Doihara looked down on Soichi Desouchi, he was now his direct boss. If he didn't obey the orders, he would have to leave the army completely.

If it weren't for the fact that the change of generals was a taboo in the military, Shouichichi Nakachi would have the intention to take down the Lieutenant General Kenji Doihara, the commander of the division.

But if Kenji Doihara doesn't take the orders of him as the commander of the front army as a warning, then Sakaichi Sedo will definitely ask the base camp to replace him as the division commander.

In the first division of honor, a discussion on the next trend of the Doihara Division is being held.

"We attacked the Japanese oil convoy, and his mechanized corps cannot move for the time being. I judge that the Doihara Division will rest for two to three days in Caozhou before it will take the next move."

"The oil is not a necessary condition. If the Doihara Division wants to go south and their soldiers have not reached the point of fatigue, we must prepare for the Japanese to go south."

"What if Dohihara insists on fighting with us?"

"It's not impossible, but this possibility is very low. If Doihara insists on fighting with us in Shandong, then in the end, even if he wins, he will be a miserable victory."

"Master, I think Dohihara will continue to move south next, which is their original strategic goal."

With the support of Xie Jiyuan, the battle situation in Yuncheng has stabilized. Although the Sakai Detachment is an attacking side, it will inevitably be weak if it cannot be captured for a long time.

Unless there is a very big breakthrough, Yuncheng is now in a stable confrontation.

Moreover, with the arrival of the New 36th Brigade, in Yuncheng area, the Honorary First Division was stronger than the Sakai Detachment. Leng Feng transferred the New 36th Brigade to the north, not just to rush to the rescue of Juye.

"There are nearly 80,000 troops on the Longhai Line. The Japanese army has lost the timeline of the raid. It is probably a dream to cut off our Longhai Line."

"If the mechanized weapons in Doihira's hands can work, the outcome will be unknown."

"How to monitor the situation of the Doihara Division's secret communication to the outside world?"

"We have monitored several frequent signals, which are basically the radio signals of the Doihara Division. We have deciphered two of them. If Fang Xiaoyang brings back the confidential information of the Japanese Isogai Division, then we can master the Japanese army's code writing rules, and the deciphering degree will be greatly increased."

"Is there any useful information in the deciphered telegram?"

"Xiang Yue Qingshi, the commander of the First Japanese Army stationed in Taiyuan, Shanxi, flew from Taiyuan to Peiping yesterday afternoon."

"What else?" Leng Feng frowned slightly.

"The first part of the 16th Division transferred from Japan to North China is in Tianjin today..."

"Didn't the 16th Division return to China to rebuild and restore its combat effectiveness so quickly?" Many people in the command center were shocked.

“Just part of it.”

This is almost done. The 16th Division was beaten up by the Honorary Division in Nanjing. Although many people escaped, the situation was better than the 13th Division in Huainan, even if it was rebuilt locally, it would not be restored in a day or two. It would take at least half a year to restore the organization, and it would take a year to restore combat effectiveness.

Unless it is brought to the battlefield to practice combat, there is no common name for it. I am afraid that the Japanese army may not have such great courage.

"Closely monitor the secret communications between the Doihara Division and the top Japanese troops. If you have any abnormalities, report them immediately."

"Master, Xiaoyang and the others are back."

"Let him come in." Leng Feng waved his hand and ended the discussion. "It's all gone. Let's go and do your business. We'll discuss it later after dinner."

"Master, I'm back!"

"Can you arrive at noon? Why didn't you arrive until now?" Leng Feng cursed with a smile.

"The car broke down, the car was repairing, which wasted time." Fang Xiaoyang explained.

"Okay, just come back safely." Leng Feng said, "Tell me, the process of this action?"

"Yes, the master seat." Fang Xiaoyang sat down and began to gather from the advance detachment that reached Jinxiang and Niu Xianmin. He went to Chaojiazhuang in Yutai to find Chao Yuanhong, and then drove a boat with Chao Yuanhong to Teng County, and how to make a plan with Liu Xinyu to feed the remaining soldiers of the Sigu Division to the shipwrecked ship. It was really thrilling and exciting. Leng Feng nodded secretly. This time, he lost the loss to be patted by Fang Xiaoyang over, and others might know it, but if he wanted to be as perfect as him, he really couldn't find it.

Even if he went there himself, that's all.

"Chao Yuanhong is here with you?"

"Yes, Master, he is outside." Fang Xiaoyang nodded, "Do you want to see him now?"

"No hurry, everyone is here. Arrange for dinner first, then rest, and let's talk about the meeting tomorrow." Leng Feng smiled and said that it would be better not to see you for the time being before considering how to deal with Chao Yuanhong.

"yes!"

"I heard that you seized a complete wing flag this time?"

"Yes, in addition to the gang flag, there are three generals and official swords, one of which is from Isotani Ryosuke, and two from two Japanese major generals."

"Isotani Ryosuke's handover, two major general command knives, you can leave one by yourself and hand over the other." Leng Feng ordered.

"Master's seat, this is not suitable. The subordinates are not worthy of possessing the official sword." Fang Xiaoyang said hurriedly.

"If you can capture Risuke Isotani alive, why don't you deserve to be a master? There is no need to be pretentious!" Leng Feng said.

"Thank you, the division!" Fang Xiaoyang's face flushed excitedly. Among the school-level officers, there was a command knife at the level of Japanese generals. He was the first person. In the first division, there were not many generals who had a Japanese general sword.

Of course, the Honorary First Division has the most commanding swords at the level of Japanese generals, because there are already many Japanese generals who die at the hands of the Honorary First Division.
