Xue Yue heard Bai Fei say that he could capture the Japanese tank alive, so he smiled and said: "You don't have any jokes, Zhenyu, you have to do what you say." ”

Bai Fei didn't fall for him, and said with a smile: "Chief Xue, you want to give me the method of agitation, right?" ”

Xue Yue's mind was seen through, and he coughed twice and said: "Zhenyu, if there is any way to deal with the Japanese, just say it directly, don't hide it anymore." ”

"Report!"

Bai Fei was just about to speak, when a staff officer came up and said to Xue Yue: "Report to Commander Xue!" The 51st Division called, and the 59th Wing of the 14th Division of the Japanese Army, besieging Minquan, had been repelled by the 51st Division and the regiment directly under the military police..."

Xue Yue glanced at Bai Fei, and Bai Fei explained, "I sent two battalions to help the civil rights side in the war. ”

Xue Yue nodded and said to the staff officer, "You continue." ”

The staff officer said: "After the Japanese troops besieging Minquan were repulsed, they quickly retreated to Lanfengcheng, and at the same time withdrew the soldiers defending the Neihuangji Railway Station and Yangzhuang Railway Station, which are now controlled by our 51st Division. The Japanese army has reduced its strength and is now gathering heavy troops in the areas of Ximaogu Village, Fengyi and Lanfengcheng. In addition, news came from Dangshan that the 16th Division of the Japanese Army was rushing directly from Fengxian to Dangshan, and it was expected that the Japanese army would arrive in an hour, and the 102nd Division requested reinforcements. ”

After hearing this, Xue Yue's face immediately became serious, and he ordered: "Telegraph to order Bai Huizhang to hold on, and inform Huang Jie's Eighth Army, which is stationed in Guide, to rush to reinforcements." ”

Bai Huizhang, that is, the commander of the 102nd Division. The predecessor of the 102nd Division was a unit in Guizhou during the warlord melee period, and the original number of the 2nd Division when Wang Jialie was in charge of Guizhou, with Bai Huizhang as the division commander. After the resignation of the Guizhou warlord Wang Jialie, the 2nd Division was reorganized into the 102nd Division of the National Revolutionary Army, and Bai Huizhang was promoted to lieutenant general and continued to serve as the division commander. In 1949, Bai Huizhang led his troops to revolt in Guizhou, and was shot and suppressed after liberation. Of course, the old warlords have done some bad things to some extent, and they are not unjust when they die. However, the 102nd Division, which is "the central descendant of the miscellaneous army and the miscellaneous army of the central descendant", still has a lot of merits in the War of Resistance Against Japan. He has participated in the battles of Songhu, Xuzhou, Wuhan, Nanchang and Changsha.

For example, in September 1941, when the Second Battle of Changsha began, the 102nd Division was responsible for defending the Xinqianghe position on the periphery of Changsha, resisting the superior strength of the Japanese army several times its own, and suffered heavy casualties. His subordinates were in a hurry several times, and Bai Huizhang replied with "Take melee hand-to-hand combat, if you retreat, you will raise your head to see you". In addition, Sun Liren fought brilliantly in the Battle of Songhu, and also had the credit of the 102nd Division, but due to the help of the battle, the credit was ignored. In the Battle of Wanjialing in Wuhan in 1938, the Wushimen victory of the 102nd Division was the core of the core, but the credit was credited to the 4th Army to which the 102nd Division belonged at that time. Kang Zhenxian, the author of "Tiger Ben Independent Division", once said: "The 102nd Division is an independent division of the entire Anti-Japanese War. Charging and fighting in the front, retreating as a rearguard, all the fruitless things were done, and they were all in key battles. ”

Bai Fei was thinking about things in his heart, and when he heard Xue Yue arrange it like this, he hurriedly said, "Is it inappropriate for Chief Xue to arrange it like this?" ”

Xue Yue was stunned and said, "Zhenyu, do you have any other opinions?" ”

Bai Fei saw that there were many people around him, and it was inconvenient to speak, so he pulled Xue Yue aside and said, "Chief Xue, if you let the Eighth Army go to reinforce it, will there be a mistake?" ”

Xue Yue frowned and said: "Although the Eighth Army is a newly formed unit, it is jointly formed by the 166th Division and the Tax Police Corps, the Tax Police Corps has good combat effectiveness and is very well equipped, I don't think there are any other problems, what are your concerns?" ”

Bai Fei thought about it, and could only say directly: "Chief Xue, I don't believe in the combat effectiveness of the Tax Police Corps, I don't believe in Huang Jie, you know, one general is incompetent and tired to death of the three armies." ”

Xue Yue looked at Bai Fei and didn't understand why he looked down on Huang Jie so much, thought for a while and said, "Zhenyu, can you tell me why you don't believe Huang Jie?" ”

Bai Fei shook his head secretly.

In history, the responsibility for the defeat of the Battle of Lanfeng can be attributed to Gui Yongqing and Huang Jie, and even Huang Jie's responsibility is greater than Gui Yongqing! Why? Because Gui Yongqing lost Lan Feng, at least it was recaptured by friendly forces later. Huang Jie, this guy was stationed in Guide, and he did exactly the same thing as Gui Yongqing, when the 16th Division of the Japanese army attacked, he actually fled with his descendants and handed over the task of defending the city to others. The left-behind generals saw that Huang Jie had run away, and he couldn't hold it alone, so he ran away without saying a word, and finally made Guide an empty city.

It was precisely because of the loss of Guide that the deployed encirclement and annihilation plan was ruined, and the defenders of all departments were originally desperately fighting the 14th Division in the area of Lanfeng with Tufeiyuan. The 14th and 16th divisions of the Japanese army chased after them, and they were chased like rabbits, and finally the Japanese army was about to hit Zhengzhou. In order to prevent the Japanese army from advancing westward, ****** had no choice but to open the ferry port on the south bank of the Yellow River, Huayuankou, which is located 17 kilometers north of Zhengzhou, causing the man-made Yellow River to burst and divert its course, forming a large area of the Yellow River, causing hundreds of thousands of people to suffer.

After the defeat in the Battle of Lanfeng, when ****** thoroughly investigated the cause and held him responsible, Huang Jie actually said that because the communication radio station was blown up and he could not get in touch with the rear, he had to retreat.

The reason I went to think of is also strange enough!

It's just such a strange reason, but I didn't expect Huang Jie to still save a small life. The reason is that Gui Yongqing put all the responsibility on Long Muhan, and because he had a good relationship with ****** and He Yingqin, he received preferential treatment and was only dismissed. Although Huang Jie's reasons were nonsense, he was also stained with Gui Yongqing's light in the end, and he was only dismissed. The only person who was really shot was Long Muhan.

And now, Huang Jie's escape has not happened, and Bai Fei certainly can't shake it out. He saw that Xue Yue was asking seriously, if he didn't have a good reason, he naturally couldn't convince him. So I had no choice but to say: "If you want to send Huang Jie to reinforce it, then we will find a way to quickly clean up the Japanese troops here in Lanfeng first, and then I will personally go to Guide to supervise the battle to prevent accidents!" ”

Xue Yue was naturally happy when he heard this, and immediately called a meeting of the generals to discuss the strategy of destroying the enemy. Gui Yongqing saw that Xue Yue came out to take the lead to solve Lan Feng's problem, and he was naturally happy. At the meeting, Gui Yongqing didn't let out a fart, pretending to be a grandson throughout the whole process, only promised, no matter what others said, it was "good!" Be! OK! We will cooperate! Words like that.

However, everyone discussed for a long time, and the idea was nothing more than to besiege from all sides and forcibly break through. Bai Fei couldn't help but speak: "I have an idea, you all see if it's feasible." ”

Xue Yue said: "You say it quickly, we will refer to it in detail." ”

Bai Fei said: "Since the Japanese army occupied Lanfeng City, they have been actively attacking outward, but they were wiped out by me in the area of Qingliangsi Village before, and the Japanese troops in Cuizhuang, Minquan and other places were repulsed, and the casualties were calculated by 1,500, so that the total casualties of the Japanese army in several places were almost 6,500." ”

Xue Yue nodded and said, "Not bad!" ”

Bai Fei said: "Let's assume that there are 25,000 people in the 14th Division of the Japanese army this time, and although the 6,500 casualties are not much, they are enough to make the Japanese army feel pain." The sudden downsizing of the Japanese forces and the surrender of the occupied Neihuangji Station and other places illustrates the problem. ”

Xue Yue said: "Well, the analysis makes sense, you continue." ”

"However, after all, there are still more than 10,000 Japanese troops now, and there are still a large number of tanks and tanks, if they retreat to the east, Kenji Dohihara must not be reconciled, but he is afraid of defeat, so I guess that Kenji Dohihara must be waiting for reinforcements, or waiting for a more suitable opportunity to attack."

Xue Yue said: "Your analysis may be right, but you have said so much, what is your idea?" ”

Bai Fei said: "The art of war has clouds, ten will surround it, and five will hit it." ”

Xue Yue said: "You mean, siege? ”

Bai Fei nodded.

Xue Yue frowned: "Although the number of people in Lanfeng is more than the Japanese army now, it is far from being 10 times as large, although Li Hansoul's 64th Army is near Daji Town south of Cao County, I can transfer him at any time." But don't forget, this is the hinterland of the Central Plains, the terrain is flat and there is no danger to defend, even if we have enough personnel to surround them, but if the Japanese army wants to choose a direction to break through, do you think we can stop it? There are still nearly 200 mechanized combat vehicles in the Japanese army, which is not vegetarian..."
