Chapter eight hundred and seventy-six: Xue Boling asks for help
"Military throne, this place has been occupied by the Japanese army, and here, the Japanese vanguard troops have reached this position..." Long Yingqin's command baton kept pointing on the sand table, introducing the latest battle situation to Leng Feng.?
"The military captain, according to the latest information, the Japanese troops coming to reinforce Anyang are an advance detachment of the 4th Division of the Japanese Army, with a population of about 2,000, and are not far from Anyang."
"Fourth Division, are you sure?" Leng Feng raised his head, straightened his body, and asked with a slight strange expression.
"I'm sure!" Xue Ping said solemnly.
"Okay, okay, where has the New 39th Brigade reached?" Leng Feng asked with a smile on his palm.
"Arriving at Neihuang this morning, the forward is in Chuwang."
"Among these 18 standing divisions in Japan, the 4th Division has the worst combat effectiveness. It can be said to be a joke in the Japanese military circles. It is known as the "first bastard division in the Imperial Army". This division was established in 1888. The soldiers are mainly composed of vegetable vendors in Osaka. It is one of the oldest divisions in the Japanese army. Its equipment is also the most elite, and it can be called elite. However, not long after it was established, it was nicknamed "bastard" and its core corps, the Eighth Regiment, was defeated repeatedly in the Russo-Japanese War, and won the nickname of "the Eighth Regiment that is not afraid of defeat"..."
Leng Feng naturally knew the 4th Division as he knew it. The Japanese division is so famous in the Japanese military. When it comes to war, it is full of injuries. Other troops are fighting for wars, but when it comes to the 4th Division, it is important to save lives.
What's even more bizarre is that this team loves doing business very much, and they do whatever they go, recognize themselves and their enemies. As long as there is enough profit, they can sell their souls to the devil.
This is a weird force.
Leng Feng was so happy when he heard this news. It would be really hard to deal with other troops, but it would be great with the 4th Division.
The advance detachment of the 4th Division simply brought equipment to the New First Army.
"Xiao Xia, call Fang Xiaoyang over."
"yes!"
"Martial throne, you're looking for me."
"Xiaoyang, there is a particularly important task that only you can complete." Leng Feng called Fang Xiaoyang to his office and said seriously.
"Military, you said, Xiaoyang guarantees to complete the task."
"That's how it is..."
"You use opium to do business with the Japanese devils..." Fang Xiaoyang couldn't help but feel a little shocked when he heard this. This was simply too sensational, and it didn't look like Leng Feng he knew at all.
"I know this is wrong. The opium we confiscated should be destroyed on the spot. These things are used to poison the Chinese and have made us bear the hat of the sick man in East Asia for many years. But if we can use these things to exchange for the weapons and ammunition we need from the Japanese, will you do it?"
"Military, are you sure you don't have that? Why are the Japanese willing to sell us weapons and ammunition, or exchange them for opium?" Fang Xiaoyang asked stutter.
"Boy, I didn't burn it. If I met other Japanese troops, I would dare not do this if I had a few courages. However, if this 4th Division, you would show that they are actually very cute. You will know after you contact them. Or if you go back and ask Akagi and the others, you will know what I'm talking about." Leng Feng explained.
"But if you trade these harmful things with the Japanese, they will definitely sell them to the Chinese, and the Chinese will eventually harm them?"
"How do you know that they will use these to harm the Chinese? Don't the Japanese need this?" Leng Feng explained. "In addition, what can we do to trade with the Japanese, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, or gold, silver and wealth, and these cannot be given to the Japanese. Once the precious heritage left by our ancestors cannot be given to the Japanese. If gold, silver and wealth are given to them, they can directly exchange for more steel, oil and rubber from the hands of the Americans, British, and Germans. Although the opium is valuable, it cannot be given to these directly. Do you understand?"
"Martial Commander, it's too risky to do this. If you miss the news, it will have a great impact on your reputation!"
"I don't care about that much. As long as I can get weapons and ammunition, it doesn't matter if I have a little criticism. At least I can't be a traitor, and I can't surrender to the Japanese, right?"
"That's right, the Japanese hate you now and want to cut you into pieces."
"Only you can do this. You know Japanese and know how to adapt flexibly. If you do it well, we can maintain this line, and it may be useful in the future."
"Military, this matter is too big. I can't hold back my position alone. The two armies are still fighting. How can I negotiate a deal?" Fang Xiaoyang said.
"It depends on your ability, I believe in you."
"Military, you dug a hole and let me jump inside."
"This is a pit, are you jumping or not?" Leng Feng looked at Fang Xiaoyang with a smile and said.
"Military, aren't you forcing me..." Fang Xiaoyang cried with a sad face. If this matter was done, it would definitely be quite fulfilling, but this was also walking on the fired wire rope in asbestos, and if it didn't work out, it would burn himself.
"Xiaoyang, I believe you have a solution. I'm optimistic about you."
Fang Xiaoyang had no choice but to take on this task. To be honest, only he could do this task. Others were not capable, but could speak Japanese, have Japanese customs all night long, and be trusted by Leng Feng. In addition, he also had a group of Japanese people from the anti-war alliance.
No one is more suitable for this task than him.
After receiving the mission, Fang Xiaoyang disappeared again. Everyone in the command center was no longer surprised by Fang Xiaoyang's disappearance. Anyway, every few days, Fang Xiaoyang would disappear for a period of time to perform confidential tasks.
As for what confidential mission it is, it is something that anyone can inquire about. Fang Xiaoyang is already one of the most trusted people around Leng Junzu.
"Fang Xiaoyang has only been back for a few days, why is he missing again? Guoguang, have you sent him to do some secret things again?" Others dared not ask. As the chief of staff, Xie Jiyuan still has no problem asking.
"I sent him to be a staff officer for Zhang Zhongling. He lacked a staff officer and temporarily held him for a while."
"Didn't you let Fang Xiaoyang be your secretary? Why did you take someone over as a staff officer?"
"I'll come back after the battle of Anyang."
"That's right." Xie Jiyuan's expression was thoughtful.
On June 17, the battle to siege Guide had been going on for four days. The 40,000 to 50,000 military generals Guide were in a state of turmoil and had already pushed the battle to the city!
Although Guide is an important town in eastern Henan, the county is not large, but the city walls and fortifications were built. The Japanese army relied on the city walls and fortifications to block the attack of the national army.
After four days of attack, the National Army suffered more than 10,000 casualties, and the Japanese army also dropped sharply from nearly 10,000 to less than 5,000.
Such high-intensity battles test the willpower of the army of China and Japan.
The longer the time delayed, the more unfavorable the situation was for the National Army. The Tang Army, which blocked the 106th Division of the Japanese army, was almost broken through to the position by the Japanese army a day ago. Fortunately, Xue Boling sent the 87th Division of the Reserve Team in time to join the ranks of blocking the Japanese army, and blocked the Japanese army's attack.
Xue Boling only slept for two or three hours a day, and the rest of the time was either staring at the sand table or the combat map, and his eyes were red.
"Captain Xue, the 51st Division suffered heavy casualties. Commander Wang Yaowu asked to withdraw and rest before fighting!"
"No, this battle must be done in one go. If he withdraws, who will replace him?" Xue Boling directly refused.
"Teacher 88 is also..."
"It's been four days and four nights. If we don't go into the city tomorrow and continue to fight, we may not be able to take down Guide and our soldiers will be all."
"Sir Xue, the casualties are too great. Our casualties have exceeded half of them. If we continue to fight, it will be difficult to sustain!"
"Sir Xue, it's not that we don't want to fight, but the officers under my command are too injured and injured. Such a blind charge is to fill in the lives..."
"Sir Xue..."
There was a sudden burst of bad sounds in Xue Boling's mind. These were the sounds of the generals under his command, which made him feel a little dazed.
Suddenly, his mind was gone, and Xue Boling was about to fall down. He suddenly grabbed the edge of the sand table and barely supported his body, not letting himself fall down.
He knew that if he fell down, even if he was fine, it would have a huge impact on morale, so he would never be able to fall down.
"Old Wu!"
"Sir Xue?" Wu Xiqi was talking to a staff officer. When he turned around, he saw Xue Boling's expression was wrong. He waved his hand and asked the staff officer to go down first and walked over quickly.
"Helping me." Xue Boling was a person who never showed his timidity in front of outsiders, but at this moment, he exposed his most vulnerable part to Wu Xiqi.
Fortunately, this person is Wu Xiqi, and the two have a life-and-death relationship.
"Sir Xue, what's wrong with you?" Wu Xiqi saw Xue Boling's face look very bad. His finger bones were grabbed on the edge of the wood, and he was trembling slightly. His fingernails were also a little gray.
"It's okay, just overuse your brain, just rest for a while." Xue Boling shook his head slightly, and with Wu Xiqi's support, he walked to the chair, sat down, and then gave him a breath.
"I'm sick, I'll look for a military doctor right away?" Wu Xiqi was shocked. It was fatal to be sick at this time.
"Don't, I'm really fine. I'm really thinking too much." Xue Boling grabbed Wu Xiqi's hand and shook his head at him. At this time, nothing happened to him.
A deep worry flashed in Wu Xiqi's eyes. If the war hits this point, if something happens to the main general, it will be a shocking thing.
"Sir Xue, I'll ask someone to get you something to eat, you have to supplement your nutrition."
"good."
Wu Xiqi invited a staff officer, gave a few instructions, and asked the staff officer to go.
"Tele to Brother Qi Yu and ask him to send me a division."
"good."
"Wait a minute." Xue Boling suddenly called Wu Xiqi.
"Sir Xue, what else do you have to give?"
"Telection to Leng Guoguang, I want to second his new 38th Division!" Xue Boling said heavily.
"Captain Xue, the new 38th Division has just recovered Caozhou, I'm afraid..."
"The only one who can help us now is Leng Guoguang's new 38th Division. You can send Leng Guoguang telegram immediately. It will take at least half a day to get to come from Caozhou!" Xue Boling said.
"Yes!" Wu Xiqi pointed.
The troops in the Fifth War Zone were retreating, but they were all tired troops, with limited combat power and urgently needed rest and replenishment. The troops in the Fifth War Zone were also a large number of new recruits, and when they were pulled up, they were just cannon fodder.
The National Government seems to have more than one million troops, but in fact, the troops that can fight have already been consumed. If it weren't for the quick decision to retreat from the fifth war zone, the current situation would probably be even more dangerous.
