Chapter eight hundred and twentieth: Guide falls
Chiang Kai-shek would not know that it was not very meaningful to go south to Wuhan along the Pinghan Line at this time, and the Japanese army was not a fool. Why did he have to fight to the death with Leng Feng, the "big devil",? Isn't it enough to go around?
This is not a shameful thing, it is just a strategy.
No one knows what will happen in the future. Moreover, the Lanfeng Battle is now more obvious in history. The time, place, and even the troops participating in the battle have undergone subtle changes, so the ending may be different.
At least the current trend will not be worse than the ending in history, and at least it will not become a shame for Xue Boling in his life.
Judging from Xue Boling's battle report to Leng Feng, he had a hard time, and Xue Boling still suffered a loss. The time of control and understanding of his subordinates was too short. He overestimated the combat effectiveness of his troops and underestimated the explosive power of Kenji Doihara, who was tortured by Leng Feng, was dying.
Kenji Doihara was defeated by Leng Feng's men. He was not planning to Leng Feng and was hindering everywhere. Originally, if he took the risk and had to force him, he might have broken the deadlock.
He was afraid that people who had suffered losses would have psychological shadows, especially those who were in charge of intelligence and led troops to fight. If they lost once, they might lose the second time.
Facing Leng Feng, Kenji Doihara seemed to have entered a vicious cycle.
But facing Xue Boling, Kenji Doihara has no psychological burden, and he is forced to the dead end. If he doesn't fight, he will be finished.
So, Xue Boling, who was underestimated, suffered.
Of course, the situation was not that bad, but some positions were broken through, and the strategic task that Doihara Kenji wanted to complete had not yet been achieved.
In particular, Leng Feng directly put his head on him and took off his lair. The largest logistics supply base was gone. The significance of his attack on Lanfeng was actually not very important.
Even if he captured Neihuang and Neihuang Station, slashed the railway tracks of the Longhai Railway, and interrupted transportation, it would not be a big loss for J. The batch of ammunition and drug supplies stored in Guide that originally supported the fifth war zone were already brought back to Kaifeng before this.
Now it's just a railway transportation cut off. It doesn't matter. In this plain area, the road is flat, and there is no problem with the marching of the large corps. It's just that you have to walk on two legs.
Chinese people don’t have so many cars. After so many years, aren’t they all walking through the road?
No problem, we have iron feet.
Kenji Doihara finally burst out his morale, but suddenly his head hurts and hits the ceiling. There are two choices: one is to hit the ceiling with his head. If it breaks, it can be put on the floor. If it doesn’t break, it can only be killed. The other is to run away quickly. The door has not been closed yet, and there is still a chance to run away.
Will Kenji Doihara run away?
Leng Feng was also muttering in his heart, after all, a person's potential and wisdom are unpredictable.
A smart person like Kenji Doihara will not be hung on a tree. To deal with such cunning people, you must think of everything you can think of, otherwise he will suddenly take advantage of the loophole.
Leng Feng was too busy with his own affairs, so he was not distracted from worrying about other people's affairs. Xue Boling came to Dongdong of Henan with an ambition.
Let's fight a battle. No matter what, they are also the commander-in-chief of the original Lanfeng Battle. No matter how bad it is, it will not be worse than the original. Moreover, the Doihara Division has been weakened a lot by him, and there is no coordinated 16th Division, and the Japanese army itself is not yet in an advantage.
The Doihara Division is now alone and is full of national troops from all directions. If he is allowed to run away, it would be really incompetent. This military achievement is simply free.
The J general with some sensibility could see that it wasn’t even the “Lao Bo” who likes to pick peaches the most came from Weishan Lake without hesitation.
Guan Yudong's 52nd Army and Zhang Zhen's 110th Division, nearly 30,000 people have already landed in Pei County on the west bank of Weishan Lake. The vanguard of the troops has arrived in Feng County. The west side of Feng County is Dan County. Going west further, you can touch Kenji Doihara's tail.
The reconnaissance of the Japanese Army Air Force has discovered the whereabouts of a large fleet on Weishan Lake. Moreover, the 52nd Army plus 110 are traveling day and night, and the team stretches for twenty or thirty miles. If such a marching force is used to dense mountains and forests, it may be able to hide one or two, but it is almost impossible to hide in plains and hilly areas.
The Japanese Army Air Force suffered a considerable loss in the air battle a while ago and had to support major battlefields. He had no time to take care of it. In addition to constantly urging domestically produced aircraft to come, sometimes he could only stare at him.
"Martial Commander Xue, Chief Xue, is in urgent need of telegram, Guide is lost!"
"What, Guide has fallen, what's going on?" Leng Feng was shocked. He had already taken into account everything he could consider, and he had calculated everything he should do.
How could Guide lose his position at this time?
"Who gave the order to evacuate without authorization when the Japanese army was raided?" Leng Feng was furious. Guide had complete national defense fortifications, food and ammunition, and there was nothing short of anything. When the Japanese army was raided, he retreated without authorization. What is this?
"It is Huang Jie, the commander of the 8th Army. His troops have retreated to Tuocheng and resumed contact with the commander-in-chief of the First War Zone. This is also the news we just received. Chief Xue Boling has sent a telegram to Chairman Jiang and wants to kill Huang Jie!" Xue Ping handed over a telegram.
Leng Feng finished reading the telegram and said nothing. He thought he had changed the fate of some historical figures, but who knew that someone was still trying to die.
Gui Yongqing was originally guarding Lanfeng, but now he goes to guard Dangshan with Qiu Qingquan in charge. His fate may be a blessing in disguise. However, Huang Jie really printed the sentence: This is fate!
"Captain Xue immediately, learn about the specific situation. The Japanese army will not have too many troops to attack Guide. It is estimated that Huang Jie was not alert for a while and was caught off guard. He made a mistake in his busy schedule, or for other reasons. In short, he didn't know what would happen if Guide was lost. Don't he know?"
"yes!"
"The telegram from Chief Li of the Fifth War Zone of Xuzhou: Guide was occupied by the Japanese army, the Longhai railway line was cut off, and the passage of Xuzhou's national army retreated west was in danger of blocking. I asked the military seats what strategies and plans they could have next."
This is Leng Feng's advice. Guide was suddenly occupied by the Japanese army, which disrupted the opportunity to retreat in the Fifth War Zone. Fortunately, there is also a road from western Shandong to northern Henan. This road is controlled by Leng Feng. These days, Leng Feng spared no effort to collect all the ships around Weishan Lake and concentrate them on the west bank of Weishan Lake. Even if the Japanese army reached the east bank, they would not be able to find a boat if they wanted to cross the river.
"Call back to Chief Li, so he doesn't have to worry. The Japanese army is taking risks and trying to stop me from strategic retreat and eating us in one bite. This appetite is really a bit big, but they can't do it yet. Don't worry. We still have the troops in the Western Shandong Passage and the Fifth War Zone. We can retreat whenever we want!" Leng Feng said with his eyes fixed on Guide's location on the map.
"clear!"
A few minutes later, Li Delin called back, just one word: "Okay!"
Obviously, Li Delin was very satisfied with Leng Feng's reply, and Leng Feng's guarantee also made the morale of the fifth war zone stabilize due to the news that Guide was raided and occupied by the Japanese army.
There is more than one way out, so what else can you worry about, what should you do, and what else should you do.
Lao Jiang was also very angry. He had just received the good news that Leng Feng had recovered Xinxiang. Before he could be happy for half an hour, Guide was lost. With every gain and loss, he remembered that Huang Jie, the commander of the 8th Army who lost Guide, seemed to be his favorite disciple.
One is the younger generation of Huangpu Phase I, and the other is the first generation of Huangpu Phase I, one is relative and the other is alienated. Why is the gap so big?
Xue Boling's telegram then arrived and asked to kill Huang Jie, who had escaped at the last minute, to shock those cowards who were lucky.
Chiang Kai-shek was in a dilemma. Huang Jie was not only his favorite disciple, but also made many contributions before. He fought in the east and north, and was loyal. If he was happy for a while and killed someone, it would have a great impact.
However, Lao Jiang knew in his heart that anyone who lost it would have to be severely punished. He could not slap himself what he said.
However, Chiang did not want to kill Huang Jie in his heart, and he could not just listen to Xue Boling's words. This is wrong with losing Guide, but if he does not die, killing a meritorious general would easily make people feel heartbroken.
The fall of Guide made the situation between the First War Zone and the Fifth War Zone suddenly become dangerous. Then a news came that a Japanese 114th Division and an army headed north along the Yanhuai Railway and occupied Bozhou.
This is great, Li Bohao's 64th Army's abdominal wall was attacked.
The Japanese army also used the tactic of long-distance raids, almost at the same time as Leng Feng. Leng Feng easily captured Xinxiang and blocked the supply channel of the Doihara Division.
The Japanese army also strangely occupied Guide, the gateway to the east of Henan, an important node of the Longhai Railway, and an important transportation hub to the west of Xuzhou. The location is not unimportant, and there is also a field airport.
When the Japanese army occupied Guide, their combat aircraft could land at the field airport in Guide, and would push the front line forward by at least two hundred kilometers at once.
However, no one has figured out what Japanese troops, numbers, forces, and weapons were raided by Guide.
The Eighth Army was the 45th Division adapted from the elite Tax Police Corps. Although this unit suffered a considerable loss in the Battle of Songhu, its combat effectiveness was not weak. It also rested in the rear for several months and also annexed some other remaining soldiers from Songhu and Nanjing. Logically, it should not have been beaten so badly by the Japanese army.
Huang Jie, the commander of the Eighth Army, was not a fool. Even if he was a student of the Chairman of the Huangpu First Class, he could not unscrupulously disobey military orders and retreat without permission.
This is going to lose his head, don't he know?
What's more serious is that Guide Yi lost his life, which gave Kenji Doihara who didn't know how to choose in the dilemma.
"Send a telegram to Luo Qianzi and block the Doihara Division from going south at all costs!" Leng Feng ordered solemnly, "Let Yao Heizi stop pursuing Takahashi Hiroshi, and immediately lead the team to Guide to investigate and understand all the situations of the 8th Army's raid and Japanese army in Guide."
"yes!"
"The new 37th Brigade has finished resting and replaced the new 38th Division, and besieged Caozhou together with the 28th Division. It must not let a Japanese army run away in Caozhou City." Leng Feng issued a decisive and resolute combat order.
The fall of Guide forced Leng Feng to change his original plan. Once the Japanese army takes action, the trapped enemy in Caozhou will definitely respond. How could Leng Feng let this Japanese army go?
But the plan is ahead of schedule.
"Guoguang, you are now the director of the Northern Henan Administration and commander of the New First Army. Is this order inappropriate?"
"The superiors have not formally ordered the removal of our position as Chief of Staff of the Shandong Corps, right?" Leng Feng asked back.
"That's right." Xie Jiyuan nodded. He forgot that Leng Feng's part-time job had not been cancelled yet. According to the rules, he was qualified to issue this order.
