Chapter 137: Lanfeng's Offensive and Defensive Battle (2)

But he said that on the battlefield of Lanfeng, Kenji Dohihara saw that his subordinates had invaded Lanfeng County, wiped the mustache on his lips and said, "Yo Xi!" ”

This person came to China in 1913 and successively carried out espionage and conspiracy activities in Zhili, Northeast China, Shandong, Shanxi and other places, for decades, and had a close relationship with many warlord leaders in China at that time, such as Zhang Zuolin, Yan Xishan, Feng Yuxiang, Wu Peifu, etc.

In 1928, Kenji Dohihara served as Zhang Zuolin's military adviser, and later Zhang Zuolin was killed in the "Huanggutun Incident" created by the Japanese Kwantung Army.

In 1930, Kenji Dohihara received orders from the Kwantung Army in an attempt to disintegrate Zhang Xueliang's forces. He took advantage of Shi Yousan, who did not gain much in the Central Plains War and was dissatisfied with the central government, to exclude Zhang Xueliang and create a tense atmosphere; At the same time, Yan Xishan, who had already left the wilderness, was sent back to Shanxi from Qingdao, intending to take advantage of the opportunity of Yan Xishan's resurgence in Shandong to provoke a Chinese civil war again. But at that time, Zhang Xueliang's elite of the Northeast Army and the elite of ****** were stationed in Hebei, Shandong, Henan and other places, Yan Xishan returned to Shanxi and played a slippery head, although he restored his warlord strength, but the situation was stronger than others, and he did not want to be used by the Japanese, so Kenji Dohihara's plan did not succeed.

In 1931, after the 918 Incident, the Japanese army occupied the Northeast, and Kenji Dohihara served as the mayor of Fengtian City, and took Pu Yi from Tianjin to the Northeast, establishing the puppet Manchukuo.

In the following years, Kenji Dohihara was ordered to go to many northern provinces many times to coerce and lure military and political leaders in various provinces to "become autonomous and independent" in an attempt to create more "puppet Manchukuo", but at that time, the anti-Japanese tide of the Chinese people was surging, and these conspiracy failed to succeed after all.

In 1936, Kenji Dohihara was promoted to lieutenant general and transferred to the commander of the 1st Division left behind in China. After the 77 Incident, he led the 14th Division to be deployed in North China, crossed the Yongding River to the south, and participated in the Battle of Baoding and the Battle of Taiyuan.

In the Battle of Xuzhou, the 14th Division of the Japanese Army was deployed on the north bank of the Yellow River as a counterforce for the encirclement of Xuzhou. In order to prevent the ** troops from the west from reinforcing Xuzhou, Kenji Tu Feiyuan led a lone army to cross the Yellow River from Fanxian and other places, and occupied Heze and Cao County successively. Later, after learning that Xuzhou had begun a large-scale retreat, Tu Feiyuan immediately ordered the troops to move south and march to the Kaifeng area of the Longhai railway line.

At the beginning, the Japanese 14th Division can be said to be a lone army, and there are ** troops on the east, west and south, and the Japanese troops closest to them around them will take several days if they want to rush to support, and there are other armies along the way to hinder and harass, for the squadron, it can be described as a golden opportunity, ******so he ordered the first theater to concentrate forces to eliminate this adventurous Japanese army.

After receiving the order, Cheng Qian, who was the commander of the First Theater at the time, actively carried out combat deployment, believing that "even if you eat, you can eat the soil and fertilizer." But the result was a big disappointment, Gui Yongqing, who was greedy for life and afraid of death, led the 27th Army, almost a little contact with the Japanese army and retreated in defeat.

To get back to the point, when Kenji Dohihara saw that the troops had occupied Lanfeng, he immediately ordered the rest of the troops to march along the Longhai Line in the direction of Minquanguide. Just an hour after the order was issued, a soldier suddenly came to report that the squadron that had just been driven out of Lanfeng had made a comeback.

Kenji Dohihara sneered: "Since the Zhina army is coming to send them to death, I will fulfill them." He immediately ordered the troops to resist, and ordered the 18th Cavalry Wing to stand by the Yellow River, and transferred the 2nd Wing from the troops attacking Minquan and other places, and outflanked them from Neihuangji and other places, intending to surround the invading squadron and eliminate it under the Lanfeng City.

Tu Feiyuan's idea was good, but this time he met Bai Fei, and he was doomed to a fiasco.

However, it was said that Bai Fei left from Xue Yue's headquarters, and was transported by car of Qiu Qingquan's armored division all the way, and soon arrived near Jinzhai on the outskirts of Lanfeng. After everyone got out of the car, they only heard the rumbling sound of the cannon in the east, and the sound of killing shook the sky, Wang Weiguo, Li Shuyang and others were a little puzzled on their faces: Didn't you say that Gui Yongqing ran away with people, why was there such a lively fight in front?

At this time, I saw Gui Yongqing trotting all the way over, surrounded by several military staff officers. Far away, Gui Yongqing laughed and shouted: "Zhenyu, it's great that our brothers are going to cooperate again this time." Let's go to my headquarters first, it's too dangerous here, and the Japanese planes and artillery may drop bombs at any time..."

As he spoke, he dragged Bai Fei to a semi-underground bunker not far from the front. Along the way, Gui Yongqing kept babbling: "Oh, the firepower of the Japanese is too fierce, brother, I lost thousands of soldiers, and now I have lost Lan Feng, I am really ashamed..."

Bai Fei frowned, and was about to speak, Gui Yongqing immediately said: "But don't worry, now I am organizing a counterattack, this time no matter how big the loss is, I will also take Lan Feng back!" ”

Gui Yongqing said categorically, but Bai Fei knew that he must have heard that he was coming to supervise the army, so he had to stop fleeing, and strictly ordered the troops to counterattack.

So Bai Fei said: "Commander Gui, you and I are old acquaintances, we fought side by side in Nanjing last year, and you didn't admit it at that time. Now that he is a military commander, is the official getting bigger and bolder, and the courage is getting smaller and smaller? ”

Gui Yongqing's old face was red, with a complicated expression on his face, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Bai Fei didn't care about him, and said bluntly: "Now we are fighting a national war, fighting for the country and the nation, this is a supreme glorious thing, and we should not be greedy for life and afraid of death." This time, my brother came to Kaifeng, and I have the responsibility of supervising the war, and I hope that Commander Gui will not make it difficult for me. ”

Although Gui Yongqing is now the commander of the first army, both in rank and official position is higher than Bai Fei, but Bai Fei belongs to the gendarmerie sequence, and this time he also serves as the responsibility of supervising the war and supervising the army, so even if Gui Yongqing was trained like a grandson, he had to nod and said: "Zhenyu, don't worry, if I take a step back from now on, you can shoot me, and I Gui Yongqing will never say anything." ”

"Report!"

As soon as Gui Yongqing finished speaking, a staff officer ran in and reported: "Junzuo, the 24th Division can't support it..."

Gui Yongqing boasted to Bai Fei just now, and as soon as he heard this, he immediately shouted: "Bastard, tell Li Ying, if you can't support it, you have to hold it hard, even if you hit the last person, you have to take Lan Feng back for me!" If anyone dares to take a step back, I will shoot him Li Ying! ”

The staff officer was stunned, his face was confused, and he didn't know what to do.

Gui Yongqing scolded: "Are you deaf, why don't you go and give the order quickly!"

"Oh... Yes..."

The staff officer turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Bai Fei: "Hey, wait... What is the battle ahead now? ”

Although Bai Fei didn't want Gui Yongqing to run away as soon as he hit it, he didn't want to see ** soldiers make senseless sacrifices, so he asked.

The staff officer glanced at Bai Fei and stopped talking.

Gui Yongqing said: "Tell the truth." ”

The staff officer said: "After the Japanese army occupied Lanfeng, the 24th Division was responsible for recapturing Lanfeng, but now the siege damage is too great, and it has been less than 20 minutes, and more than 2,000 people have been killed and wounded..."

Bai Fei was taken aback and asked, "What's the matter, why are the casualties so bad?" ”

The staff officer glanced at Gui Yongqing and said: "The Japanese army not only set up machine guns at the head of the city, but also moved the artillery, which had a long range and machine gun bullets were very dense. Jun Zuo issued a strict order that Lan Feng must be recaptured, and the soldiers launched a charge..."

Gui Yongqing glared at the staff officer, and then said to Bai Fei pitifully: "Brother, I can't help it, the firepower of the Japanese army is really too fierce, I withdrew from Lanfeng before, it was also a helpless move, if I don't withdraw, I will be dumpled by the Japanese army, and I don't know how many people will die..."

Bai Fei sighed: "That's it! Commander Gui, you better let them withdraw first, don't you let the brothers die in vain? ”

Gui Yongqing was puzzled: "However, this Lan is closed to the city..."

"Leave it to me, and you'll be there."

Gui Yongqing was overjoyed, and immediately asked the staff officer to pass the order, and at the same time said to Bai Fei: "Since this is the case, it all depends on you, brother." ”
