Chapter 782: Annoyed Doihara
"Who leaked the secret?" Leng Feng's face was as cold as the ice in the nine heavens. Such a military secret was easily known by some people who didn't want to fuck him.
If no one had done this secretly, no one would have believed it.
Leng Feng also knew that Yan Laoxier had a Japanese spy around him. This old guy even secretly had a relationship with the Japanese, but he would not have done anything to betray him.
This old man is very smart. It is not good to offend him. Not only does he have no business to do, but he will also cause him fatal trouble once he grows up.
Old Xier Yan learned one thing in his life: dancing on three eggs. He would not do such a fool, especially under the current situation where the national enthusiasm for the War of Resistance Against Japan is high.
The only problem with this is the transportation route. Such a batch of ammunition must be transported by trains. This is the best way to keep it confidential.
Automobile transportation is subject to roads and weather, and is not efficient, and it is easy to expose its whereabouts when it is started. Railway transportation is the fastest and least likely to be exposed.
Every day, a large number of special trains are heading towards Xuzhou, and there is a special ammunition train that is not so conspicuous, not to mention that this is used in other names.
In the Kuomintang-controlled area, at least no one dares to make an idea of military supplies yet, right?
"The news should have come from Zhengzhou Railway Bureau."
"Zhengzhou Railway Bureau, how did they know?"
"Rail transportation needs to be dispatched and allocated, so it must be applied in advance for arrangements. This is a common practice. Now it is wartime, and the railway bureau has also been placed under military control, and military transportation is preferred."
"Is it okay to know where the problem lies? Send a telegram to Wu Xiaoyun. I asked her to send someone to investigate this matter. I want to find the final source." Leng Feng said, "If no one instructs me, no one dares to leak military secrets at will."
"We all know whether to change the number of transport vehicles. The Japanese will definitely know. Even if it is night transportation, it cannot guarantee safety."
"Well, the electricity will make Yao Heizi's team go north quickly. If the Japanese want to destroy it, they can only infiltrate a small group of troops, and the large troops are useless."
"yes!"
Leng Feng knew very well that the Honorary First Division came to Luxi. Because time was rushed, his layout had a huge hollow, which was the internal emptiness. This was a bit stingy, and Kenji Doihara's eyes were very vicious, so he could see it.
Kenji Doihara naturally wanted to use the emptiness in Shandong to turn the situation around, but unfortunately, he was still one step late in the end, let Leng Feng hold him back, and finally he was forgotten.
This loss of the loss, Kenji Hirahara, was very fed. Not only did he ruin the elite of the entire regiment, but he also caused the last bit of energy of the Isotani Ryosuke's division to sink into Weishan Lake.
It is not unreasonable that Kenji Doihara vomited blood on the spot.
This was his flaw that he grabbed Leng Feng, but because of this, his plan failed. As the new 38th Division crossed Weishan Lake, Leng Feng's hollowness was filled.
The victory of Yanzhou, Jining and the replacement of Sichuan Army allowed Leng Feng to free up his hands and mobilize enough troops to launch a counterattack. Although the Third Army was still at a disadvantage on the front battlefield of Caozhou, the battle situation in Shandong was tilting towards China bit by bit!
Kenji Doihara saw this clearly, so he was unwilling to follow the order of Teraouchuchi and the base camp to continue south. In his opinion, this was a completely tragic journey to death.
However, when the situation is equalized and even has a little advantage, no one knows that Leng Feng has a big weakness, just like the high degree of mechanization of the Doihara Division and can only stop due to insufficient oil supply.
The biggest hidden danger of Honor Division 1 is ammunition supply.
In order for Luo Fengzi to fight without any scruples in Taierzhuang, Leng Feng gave him almost most of the ammunition he had accumulated. Otherwise, Luo Yufeng's new 38th Division could hold on to Taierzhuang for nine days, and surrounded Yi County in the final counterattack, and even ate Sakamoto's detachment?
Just kidding, Luo Yufeng is not short of ammunition and supplies, which is why he has achieved his military achievements today.
In the National Army in the Fifth War Zone, most of the New 38th Division and Honorary Division were captured Japanese equipment, which was different from the ammunition caliber of the **** equipment. They could not completely obtain sufficient ammunition supply from GJ's logistics supply. Therefore, in Taierzhuang, the remaining ammunition supply was basically given by Cold Front.
The main force of the Honorary Division went north, but the ammunition was not very abundant. Some of them were consumed by attacking Jining and Yanzhou. Although some were seized, the consumed ones were generally erased.
But the next two independent brigades of Kwantung Army went south, and Leng Feng left some of the ammunition to the New 39th and New 40th Brigades.
Therefore, Leng Feng has nothing on the surface, but in fact, the ammunition has reached a point of exhaustion. Without ammunition supply, he cannot launch a counterattack against the Doihara Division and can only barely be on the defensive.
This is the dilemma Leng Feng is in now. Of course, in the Honor Division, no one knows this secret, he, Chief of Staff Xie Jiyuan, Liao Sen, and Lao Shen, who is in charge of all military supplies and logistics.
If the batch of ammunition ordered from Yan Laoxier cannot be shipped in time, Leng Feng will be really a clever woman.
The delivery date for Yan Laoxier was set. Although Leng Feng repeatedly urged him, the arsenal worked overtime and finally collected the amount Leng Feng wanted.
On the afternoon of the 26th, Doihara returned to the frontier of Caozhou. The car was exhausted and had a high fever. When he came back, he almost had to lift people out of the car.
"Thank you all for your hard work."
"Secretary Commander, how are you in good health?"
"It's okay, just take a break." Kenji Doihara forced himself to cheer up.
"At present, the Chinese army is siege from Nanwangdian south of Dingtao, Maji, Jiaozhuang area to the west, and Huangdian east, and is besieged from three sides. The number of Chinese army that has been learned is the 20th Division of the Third Army, the 81st Division, the new 37th Brigade of the Honorary First Division, and the new 38th Division, with a total force of about 15,000 people to block our reinforcements..."
"How is the firepower of China's military equipment?"
"Their equipment is very different. The new 38th Division in the east has the best equipment and the most powerful firepower. It is also equipped with large-caliber artillery, and then the Honorary First Division. Apart from the lack of large-caliber artillery, its combat power is not inferior to us. The worst one is the Third Army, whose combat power and firepower are not on the same level as the two Chinese armies in front."
"The enemy's main attack direction is placed on the east and south sides, and on the west side this is to restrain the attack. We also mainly concentrate our troops in the east and south cities..."
"Our army has sufficient rations and ammunition, and with strong firepower, we can completely defeat the enemy in front of us!"
"Teacher Commander, the intelligence department just learned a piece of information."
"What?"
"..." The Japanese lieutenant intelligence staff whispered in Kenji Doihara's ear.
"Is there such a thing?" Kenji Doihara's eyebrows trembled slightly after hearing the report.
"Just here, let's disperse, Sano Junka, Toshima Jun stay."
"Hayi!"
"Secretary Commander, what's going on?" Chief of Staff Tadao Yoshino asked. Before the war situation was over, Kenji Doihara ordered it to end in a hurry, which was a hint of unusual.
"Sano, this time I secretly returned to Taiyuan and met the new commander, Lord Umetsu, but the situation was not very optimistic. The determination of the base camp remained unchanged, and we were in an awkward situation." Kenji Doihara said.
"That means we have to go south?" said Yataro Toshima.
"That's the command."
"Secretary Commander, since the order is like this, we just obey, why think so much?" Toshima Yataro was transferred to the 14th Division and was not very familiar with Kenji Dohihara.
"I need to be responsible for the 14th Division. The consequences of the Isogai Division's impetuous and reckless advance are right in front of us. Should we commit it again?"
"But this is the above order. So what if we don't obey?"
"Let's not talk about this. I just got the information that a large number of ammunition supplies will be transported from Yan Baichuan to western Shandong and delivered to the Honorary First Division."
"Ammunition supply, is it said that the Honorary Division lacks ammunition?"
"I think this may be the second mistake I made. I actually forgot that the Honor Division has such a big weakness." Kenji Doihara said a little regretfully.
"What?"
"You have fought with Honor Division for many days, but have not found out that there is any difference between Honor Division and other Chinese army?"
"There are indeed great differences. Their soldiers are very brave and use their tactics flexibly. Especially their grassroots officers have much better adaptability than the Chinese army we encountered before, and only the regular army can compare. However, their equipment is too poor. If they are under the same equipment, they can compete with our soldiers."
"You haven't noticed that the weapons used by the Honor Division are the same as ours?"
"The same weapon, yes, they seem to use the rifles of Type 38, as well as mortars, grenade launchers, and light and heavy machine guns, some of them are..."
"Our ammunition caliber is not common to the GMD army's. Don't you know this?" Kenji Doihara reminded again.
If Tadao Sano and Yasutaro Toshima don't understand, they are not worthy of sitting in this position.
The Honorary First Division has no arsenal. Since they use Japanese weapons, the source of ammunition is very single, and the most important thing is to seize the battlefield.
Not every big victory can be captured, and sometimes the capture may not make up for the damage to the war. Once the ammunition is not supplied, the gun will become a fire stick, or even a burden.
"He hid this weakness very well, but we didn't notice it at all. If our intelligence personnel had not obtained such information, I would probably not have discovered it yet." A deep regret flashed in Kenji Doihara's eyes.
Tadao Sano and Yasutaro Toshima looked at each other.
"Before, we have received similar information, including Leng Feng and Yan Baichuan of the Honorary Division, who purchased ammunition and arms. In China, in addition to the Fengtian Arsenal, only the original Taiyuan Arsenal can produce ammunition with a caliber of Japanese weapons, and it is the closest to it." Kenji Doihara said annoyedly, "This is the only way for the Honorary Division to obtain supplies besides the battlefield seizure. I should have thought of it long ago."
"Sano, go and invite Takahashi to come."
"Teacher Commander, you are..."
"This batch of ammunition supply cannot be allowed to fall into the hands of the Honorary First Division. Leng Feng attacked Longtan at night and exploded our supply army. This time, the commander of our division will also come to a tooth for tooth and blow up his supply line!" Kenji Doihara's eyes were red and bloody, and he said with murderous aura.
