Luojia Mountain, Jiang Mansion.

"Sir, this is a telegram that Leng Guoguang had just sent. We won three battles in Yutai, Dongping and Liangshan, and we each annihilated more than 4,000 Japanese troops, defeated an independent mixed brigade of the Japanese army, and recovered Liangshan County and eliminated a garrison squadron of the 14th Division of the Japanese army."

"All three battles won?" Old Jiang was very surprised.

"Yes, in the Battle of Yutai, the new 38th Division fought against 4,000 Japanese troops. Not only did they wipe out the Japanese troops, but they suffered less than 2,000 casualties. It can be said that they became famous in one battle!"

I did not read this Luo Yufeng wrongly. He is really my good student!" Old Jiang was very happy. Although Luo Yufeng was fought under the command of Leng Feng, the specific participants were Luo Yufeng and his new 38th Division, which was a model of the national army he personally established.

Luo Yufeng beat him well, and his face was also brilliant, which also shows that he is wise to recognize people.

"You draft an order. Luo Yufeng will be promoted to the position of lieutenant general from today and receive the salary of lieutenant general!" Chiang Kai-shek said solemnly, "As for the commendations of meritorious personnel, we will discuss them after reporting the military achievements."

"yes!"

"By the way, send a telegram to Leng Guoguang and ask him to report the meritorious personnel of this battle. Those who should be rewarded will also be rewarded." Lao Jiang added.

"OK."

Whether in the battles between Taierzhuang or Yutai, the new 38th Division fought well, and the limelight was completely overshadowed by the Honorary First Division. Although the new 38th Division had a deep relationship with the Honorary First Division, Luo Yufeng had also fought side by side with Leng Feng.

However, Luo Yufeng's record is not inferior to Leng Feng and the Honorary First Division. He can train a general who can compete with Leng Feng. Lao Jiang thought that he could use the victory of these two battles to do a good job of publicity.

"Xiaozhen, go and invite Mr. Chen Bulei over."

"yes!"

Although Chen Bulei is only in the second department, he is in charge of ideology and intelligence, he has the right to know any important battle report at the first time.

So, when Jiang Xiaozhen called this, he knew what Jiang Jiang was doing for him.

Although the propaganda is controlled by the Central Party Committee of the "Two Chens", the attendant office can definitely provide guidance. Therefore, the Central Party Committee must also adhere to the will of Chiang Kai-shek. Chen Bulei is Chiang's royal pen, and his words can even ruin a person's reputation.

Some things can only be understood but not expressed in words, and Jiang himself cannot speak too clearly, otherwise he will be in trouble if he is caught.

Therefore, many things have to be understood. Chen Bulei is naturally a master in this field. He first praised Jiang Jiang as soon as he came, and he was naturally happy to win the battle.

But how to promote the following so that the public knows how to promote GJ and who to win a battle on the battlefield, this is a science.

In the following conversation, Lao Jiang hardly mentioned the Honorary First Division and Leng Feng. Chen Bulei naturally understood it. Next, the propaganda department should try to keep silent or talk less in the propaganda work, and focus the main publicity efforts on Luo Yufeng and the new 38th Division.

Highlight the achievements of the New 38th Division in the Taierzhuang and Yutai battles.

This is an open conspiracy, but a hidden murderous intent!

If Leng Feng is a narrow-minded person, seeing such propaganda will inevitably become dissatisfied with Luo Yufeng, or think that Luo Yufeng is suspected of monopolizing military merits.

If the separation is transferred from it, the relationship between the two is likely to become influential, and even friction will arise between the two armies.

This is Lao Jiang’s way of balancing under the control.

Of course, Jiang Jiang would not give orders to others personally, but the people below will definitely understand the meaning of this and consciously help him do it.

On the surface, it has nothing to do with Jiang Jiang, but in fact it is what he wants in his heart.

If he doesn't have a big balance, and plays without any trace, and is perfect, can he be the chairman with his military talent?

As for why others didn’t have this opportunity, it can only be said that Chiang Kai-shek was lucky, and his political ability allowed him to take this position.

In Wuhan, the news of victory comes one after another, and the public's emotions are raised. GJ's victory on the battlefield, but the troops are constantly retreating.

This made many people who don’t understand why gj did this, especially young students, who didn’t know where they heard the news, saying that gj would retreat completely from Xuzhou and give all Shandong and Xuzhou to the Japanese.

There are even more outrageous legends: GF secretly negotiated with the Japanese, gave up Xuzhou, signed an armistice agreement in exchange for the Japanese army's non-attack against Wuhan, etc.

Rumors are flying everywhere.

Wuhan did not pay attention to these things at the beginning, and let the rumors spread all of a sudden, with an increasing impact. When they stood up and explained and denied the rumors.

The excited people no longer believed it. They, who were unaware of the truth, began to march on the streets and protest, demanding that GJ continue to stay in Xuzhou and fight the Japanese invaders to the end.

At this time, the 38th Division of the New Division received news that it had wiped out 4,000 Japanese Sakashi Detachment in Yutai, and immediately gave the people who were not sure of the truth a huge surprise.

The previous rumors were instantly broken. If GJ really had a peace talk with the Japanese, why did he encircle and annihilate more than 4,000 Japanese troops, and why did he defeat two elite Japanese brigades in Yanzhou and Jining?

The excited people gradually calmed down and began to think and reflect on why they easily believed these horrifying rumors.

The reason is that they are too naive and too easy to be light and fresh, and these rumors are unfounded, and at least they can't stand if they think a little.

Leng Feng, who was far away in western Shandong, did not expect that these three battles combined with Zhang Zhongling's previous victory in Yanzhou to repel the Japanese army's 13th Division. The victory of four battles shattered a conspiracy to create rumors against the Wuhan State Government planned and agitated by the Japanese spies in Wuhan.

After a long time, many people realized that the news of these four victories also won another battle without gunpowder.

Regarding the situation in Wuhan, Wu Xiaoyun sends detailed reports to Leng Feng through the radio station every day. Regarding the rumors, Leng Feng judged that it was a conspiracy planned by Japanese spies colluding with domestic traitors and traitors. His intentions were very sinister and vicious, which was to crack down on the government's belief in resisting Japan.

If the people and the government distrust each other and divide them, the consequences and impact will be immeasurable. If the government does not receive the support of the people, it is water without a source, then there will be no way to continue the War of Resistance.

If even the government wants to surrender, what should the unarmed people do? The domino effect will definitely be disastrous.

The Fifth War Zone National Army strategic retreat is all military secrets, which are impossible for ordinary people to know. Xuzhou is one or two thousand kilometers away from Wuhan. Besides, the retreat plan has just come out, and the people know it. What secrets can there be in GJ?

From Wu Xiaoyun's investigation report and clues obtained from the Military Control Commission, this time the "retreat rumors" must have been planned by the Japanese intelligence department, and there are also senior figures in the government who know the secrets.

But it is still unknown who was leaked and involved.

But Leng Feng is out of reach, so he can only do something within his ability through Wu Xiaoyun. In terms of publicity, the Honorary First Division does not have any good channels. This is a shortcoming, but for now, it is not so easy to make up for it.

I can only take it slowly.

The successive defeats on the battlefield in western Shandong were a heavy blow to the Japanese army in North China. The base camp's combat order No. 84 was still in my ears. Although the North China Front Army was a little passive at that time, it was still as powerful as a rainbow.

In just half a month, the battle situation became so bad. The strategy of advancing north and south formulated by General Takaichi Teraunuchi suffered major setbacks, and the North China Front Army, who was responsible for, was defeated.

In order to reverse the unfavorable situation, Soichi Teraunuchi forced the first army to implement a plan to smuggle the Yellow River, cut off the Longhai Line, and surround the Xuzhou area, attempting to annihilate nearly 500,000 elite GJ forces in the Xuzhou area in one fell swoop.

If this plan is successful, the previous failure can only be said to be the necessary losses in order to induce the Chinese to increase their troops in Xuzhou during the implementation of the plan.

But now, this plan seems to have a huge deviation. Kenji Doihara, the commander who specifically implemented the cutting of the Longhai Line, was disobedient. He did his own thing and insisted on competing with a Chinese general, giving up the roots. How could such a stupid person stay in the position of the division commander?

After receiving repeated reports of Yudai's defeat, Teraunuchi immediately sent a telegram to Tokyo with a very tough wording, and he had to remove his position as the division commander of the 14th Division of Kenji Doihara and replace him with someone who could implement his military orders.

However, it takes time to replace Kenji Doihara. Even if someone is sent from Tokyo, flying to China, and then to Caozhou, it will take one day.

Who will command the 14th Division during this period?

Did the 14th Division stay in Caozhou during this period?

It is not known whether the division commander of Doihara's division will be removed, but Japan's Tokyo Base Camp has made a decision to allow former deputy chief of the Army, Lieutenant General Miji Umezu, to serve as commander of the Second Army, immediately take office, and Kiyoshi Katsuki returns to China immediately to accept inquiries. (The previous article may have been written incorrectly, and the deputy chief of staff is Tada Jun)

The personnel changes within the Japanese army were also military secrets and were usually not announced to the public. However, the deciphering team of the Naibuzhou deciphered at this time the secret telegram communication between the North China Front Army and the Second Army.

I learned the news unexpectedly.

Umezu Mijiro was appointed commander of the Second Army, but the North China Front Army did not deliberately conceal the news from Kenji Doihara and sent him a telegram.

This news is not bad for Kenji Doihara. Umezu Mijiro is not the old nobleman of Soichi Desouchi. He still knows China very well, at least on the issue of China, his attitude is cautious.

But time waited for no one, Kenji Doihara made a decision to return to Taiyuan and meet Mijiro Umezu.

Before he was about to set off and return to Taiyuan secretly, Hiroshi Takahashi came again.

This time it was not about cooperation with the Central China Front Army, Takahashi Hiroshi brought a "wanted order".

Specifically, it is a wanted order about him Takahashi Hiroshi.

"Takahashi, where did you come from?"

"Luxi, in any area controlled by the Chinese army, my wanted order has been circulated all of us." Hiroshi Takahashi's face was very dark, and his identity was exposed, but he did not think it was his own problem, but believed that the problem lies with the 14th Division.

"Takahashi-kun thinks I have leaked your whereabouts?"

"Takahashi dare not!"

"Takahashi, if I had leaked your whereabouts, they would have known that you were here with me, so how could you be wanted all over the world?" Kenji Doihara sneered.

Hiroshi Takahashi was silent for a moment. He had just obtained the wanted order. He confirmed that his identity was exposed because of the 14th Division. However, now that he was asked this, he felt that he might have thought it was wrong.

"Takahashikun, you were going for Leng Feng, right?" Kenji Doihara glanced at Hiroshi Takahashi, and he saw a lot of things in his eyes.

"He already knows that you are here, so he warns you not to provoke him, otherwise you will die miserably." Doihirohara said when he didn't say anything, leaving the wanted order on the table.

"This is just a bluff, I actually know. Why don't you pretend not to know and wait for your opponent to fall into the trap?" Takahashi Hiroshi frowned slightly, obviously disagreed with Doihiro's judgment.

"He didn't regard you as his opponent. His opponent was me, and he didn't want to waste energy on you." Kenji Doihara said bluntly, "That's why I used this method to warn you not to go there. As long as you step into his territory, you will have nowhere to hide. Do you understand?"

Hiroshi Takahashi's face was swollen and red, the blue veins on his neck were exposed, and the blade on his face looked like an earthworm, hideous and terrifying. This time he came here just to avenge his revenge. Was he scared back by a small wanted order?
