After Xiao Siming saw Xiao Hua return to Texas, he kept wondering if he had missed something!

It's not that Xiao Siming wants to think about it, but the strange actions of the Japanese army force him not to want to!

On the night of the end of the Battle of Luokou, Xiao Siming learned about the news release broadcast by the Central News Agency before leaving for Dezhou, and he thought that the Japanese army must first solve the problem of instability in the rear before launching the Battle of Wuhan, and once the Battle of Lanfeng was over, the 16th Division, the 3rd Brigade, and the 13th Brigade of the Japanese Army on Longhai Road could turn around and go north, sweep from south to north, and cooperate with the 5th Division to eliminate the eastward advance detachment of the Eighth Route Army that occupied Dezhou and repeatedly inflicted heavy losses on the Japanese army. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In other words, Xiao Siming was mentally prepared for the possibility that the enemy in eastern Henan might stop attacking westward, and then turn around and go north, and join the battle situation in North China, and he had already considered this factor when considering the next battle plan.

Therefore, after returning to Dezhou, Xiao Siming waited for Wang Lushui and Huang Hua to come to make peace, and at the same time maintained close contact with the headquarters, waiting for the news that the Japanese army had stopped attacking on the Lanfeng line, so as to choose the opportunity to carry out further operations.

What Xiao Siming didn't expect was that the situation reported by the headquarters was very different from his thinking!

Indeed, as in history, the First War Zone ordered a retreat on May 31 to end the Battle of Lanfeng. As for the Japanese army, as in history, they also captured the city of Lanfeng and launched an attack on Kaifeng, which was only 50 kilometers away!

The Japanese army did not stop on the front line of Lanfeng as Xiao Siming thought. On the contrary, it is still a mad cow, and it continues to go westward like crazy!

What's going on here?

Everything is abnormal, it is a demon!

Intuitively, Xiao Siming thought that the Japanese army was playing ghosts, but without intelligence support, he couldn't figure out what the Japanese army was doing!

A telegram requesting Yan'an to instruct the surrounding party organizations and troops to monitor the Japanese army and provide information to the eastward advance detachment had already been sent, but where could there be accurate information on the actions of the Japanese army in a hurry!

Xiao Siming had to fall into contemplation again!

This contemplation, Xiao Siming thought a lot!

From the Shanxi battlefield to the eastern Henan battlefield, from the return of the Japanese Fifth Division to Jinan, to the imminent appointment of Seishiro Itagaki as the land minister of the Guards Cabinet, and from the important strategic position of Dezhou to why the Japanese army did not stop attacking on the eastern Henan front, Xiao Siming thought of the case if the first war zone opened the mouth of the garden, the waves of yellow water rolled down, how many villages, houses, and livestock were submerged in the yellow water, and how many relatives did not even have time to shout, and they were annihilated in the yellow water.

After thinking about it, Xiao Siming felt a little frustrated, and felt that in order to save the critical situation, he risked violating the spirit of Yan'an's instructions to disperse and mobilize the masses and carry out guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines, concentrate the main force, and strike hard to seize Dezhou, with the aim of holding back the footsteps of the Japanese army's frantic attack along the Longhai Road to Kaifeng and Zhengzhou, and avoiding the great tragedy of Chiang Kai-shek opening the entrance to the garden, causing nearly one million deaths and tens of millions of people being displaced. Obviously, the operation to capture Dezhou was a thousand pounds and the enemy had to be saved, why did the Japanese army not move at all, but only transferred the Fifth Division back to North China, while the enemy on the Longhai Road was unmoved?

Could it be that the arrogant, murderous, and cunning General Terauchi really thought that with a single Fifth Division, he could seize the eastward advance detachment of the Eighth Route Army and eliminate the eastward advance detachment?

Xiao Siming was self-aware, knowing that if his previous detachment of the eastward advance set up a strong position, it would not be the opponent of the Japanese Fifth Division at all! The little devil will eat nothing left of his bones, even flesh and bones. However, he was well aware of the operational characteristics of the Japanese army, and knew that the North China Front, from the commander Terauchi Shouichi to the division commanders below, were all veterans who were good at intrigue and trickery, and it was impossible to just send a fifth division back to North China! This is because the Japanese army also has an understanding of the operational characteristics of the Eighth Route Army, and knows that the Eighth Route Army is fighting guerrilla warfare, fighting if it can win, and leaving if it cannot win.

The Fifth Division is indeed strong in combat, and there is no suspense in recapturing Dezhou and opening up the Jinpu Road, but the Fifth Division alone wants to completely annihilate the eastward advance detachment of the Eighth Route Army, Xiao Siming knows that it is also wishful thinking!

The reason is very simple, if you can't win, you will leave, and the eastward advance detachment will retreat before the Japanese army arrives in Texas!

This point, Terauchi Shouichi and Okabe Naosaburo, including the newly appointed commander of the Japanese Fifth Division, Ando Toshiyoshi, can all think of it!

The Japanese army must have a more insidious trick, but it has not been exposed for the time being!

When Wang Lushui and Huang Hua rushed to Texas to make peace with Xiao Siming, Xiao Siming was still wondering what was going on with the Japanese army!

I haven't seen you for such a long time, so naturally it's extra kind!

Wang Lushui saw Xiao Siming, from top to bottom, from front to back, and saw that Xiao Siming had not changed much, so he was relieved and turned around and left.

Xiao Siming hurriedly asked why are you going?

Wang Lushui replied, "Get off the troops," and left on his own.

Wang Lushui is not at ease, as soon as he meets with Xiao Siming, he will go to visit the troops to check the losses and morale of the troops!

Wang Lushui is like this, and Huang Hua is like this, and he left after Wang Lushui. As a result, Chief of Staff Hu Qingyun and Director of the Political Department Huo Cheng couldn't sit still, and they also went to the troops.

Xiao Siming was once again the only one left in the command headquarters!

After Yan Rou followed Wang Lushui and them to Texas, she was anxious to take a look at Xiao Siming, but the chiefs were there, and it was not her turn to see Xiao Siming. She could only honestly stay behind Shi Poshan and wait for the opportunity.

As soon as Wang Lushui and the others left, Shi Poshan asked Xiao Siming to report the work of the logistics office, and Yan Rou followed Shi Poshan into Xiao Siming's temporary office.

To fight a war is to fight logistics, and if there is a guarantee of logistics, and if the troops do not lack ammunition and food, their combat effectiveness will not decline! On the contrary, the fighters have no bullets in their guns, and the bags of dry food are empty, so how can they fight?

The eastward advance detachment now has a very good logistical supply, and it has won successive battles and captured a large number of battles. Especially in the Battle of Dezhou, so many heavy materials were captured, not to mention the supply of the eastward advance detachment, for a long time, the military and political supplies on the Jilu border could be satisfied!

Shi Poshan reported in detail the process of the fortified wall materials, and gave Xiao Siming a few pieces of paper, on which were the hidden points of ammunition and oil for the logistics department and the baggage battalion on the fortified walls in various counties. In the future, in the event that the troops return to the Jilu border, they will be able to use concealed ammunition and fuel to replenish the troops according to this record.

This must have been done quietly by Shi Poshan behind Wang Lushui's back, or Shi Poshan was quietly instructed by Xiao Siming. Otherwise, with Wang Lushui's party spirit and principles, it would be impossible to quietly build so much ammunition and fuel alone, and he would hand it over to Ma Zhenhua and them, and then hand it over to Xiao Hua.

In doing so, it is not that Xiao Siming and Shi Poshan are not strong in principle and deliberately hide their personal interests. Rather, there was too much ammunition captured in Texas, and the logistics office had already left enough for the soon-to-be-established East Column, and there was no need to leave all the ammunition to them. The reason is very simple, such as aerial bombs, anti-aircraft artillery shells, anti-aircraft machine gun bullets, 92 infantry artillery shells, tank artillery shells, and vehicle-mounted machine gun bullets, the Eastern Column does not need them for the time being, and they do not have that kind of equipment. As for oil, Dongzong basically doesn't need it!

These special ammunition and oil, if they can't be transported away for the time being, they can only be fortified!

Others, such as rice and white flour and medicines, the logistics department and the baggage battalion received Xiao Siming's order to bring only half a month's rations, which was only a very small part of the grain and medicine seized from Dezhou, and the rest of the large quantities of rice, white flour, beef, canned medicines, etc., were all handed over to Ma Zhenhua and them, and they wanted to hand them over to the east.

Therefore, after the report, Shi Poshan complained: "What the hell is this doing, it is equivalent to us building a base for Dongzong, and preparing rations for them for a year!" arrived, but drove us out of Jilubian! ”

Shi Poshan's complaints, to a certain extent, represent the opinions of many cadres of the eastward advance detachment!

Yes, after hard work, birth and death, it was not easy to create the Jilu border base area, and for some reason it was handed over to the East Vertical who came from afar by an order from the central government, can the cadres not complain?

That's it, it is still the Eighth Route Army troops, the military orders and government orders are highly unified, and the command is as expected.

It seems that the cadres do not fully understand Xiao Siming's intentions, and they do not fully understand Yan'an's intentions!

Xiao Siming did not severely criticize Shi Poshan, but told him the reasons why the eastward advance detachment wanted to carry out external operations, and talked about the significance of the eastward advance detachment to continue to advance eastward and go to the hinterland of Shandong to create a larger and more strategically important base area.

When Shi Poshan left, Yan Rou didn't go with him.

There were only two people left in the room, Xiao Siming and Yan Rou.

violated discipline and followed the troops without permission, the beautiful Yan Rou was full of w to see Xiao Siming. Now it's okay, there are only the two of them left in the room, the atmosphere is a little delicate, and Yan Rou's tired face is covered by a red glow.

This girl, when she was really alone with Xiao Siming, she was shy first!

However, Yan Rou is different from Mei Ying, she tied her heart to Xiao Siming when she knew that Xiao Siming had a lover, and she must be more bold and proactive!

Qiu Bo swirled on Xiao Siming's face, and he smiled, lightly opened his cherry lips, and Yan Rou asked, "Are you tired?" Hungry or not? Thirsty or not? ”

As she spoke, Yan Rou took out two hard-boiled eggs and a small packet of scrambled peanuts from the bag she was carrying, handed them to Xiao Siming, and then moved lightly, turned around and poured a teapot of water for Xiao Siming, and brought it over.

The eldest lady of the Yan family, who used to be the eldest lady of the Yan family who came to reach out for food and open her mouth, and Yan Rou, who was fragrant and beautiful, didn't know when she learned to care about people, and she was as gentle as a bride!

Hard-boiled eggs and scrambled peanuts must have been bought by Yan Rou in Leling City, and she took them all the way, just to let Xiao Siming eat a bite.

This girl made Xiao Siming's mouth open a few times, but Leng didn't say anything about driving her away!

At this time, Xiao Siming, after reading Mei Ying's letter, was full of thoughts about Mei Ying except for the war, where could Yan Rou be tolerated!

But Xiao Siming is not the kind of reckless man who doesn't open his mind, let alone a pseudo-Taoism who pretends to be serious, such a beautiful woman, so thoughtful, how can he hurt people and make insulting words?

Xiao Siming took a sip of water, asked Yan Rou to sit down, and really peeled off the flowers.

Peeled a few peanuts, put the red peanut kernels in Yan Rou's hand, and said, "You eat first", Xiao Siming peeled the flowers for himself.

Yan Rou's heart was suddenly as sweet as if she had eaten a mouthful of honey!

After eating the peanuts that Xiao Siming gave her, Yan Rou picked up an egg, stretched out her slender jade fingers and peeled it off, peeled off the skin of the egg, and handed the smooth egg to Xiao Siming.

Xiao Siming shook his head and said that he was not hungry and let Yan Rou eat.

Yan Rou didn't follow, and immediately stood in front of Xiao Siming's face, and the egg in her hand was stuffed directly into Xiao Siming's mouth!

If other comrades saw this scene, I don't know what they would think!

As for Xiao Siming himself, the moment Yan Rou stuffed the egg into his mouth, the defense line in his heart collapsed, and a sense of tenderness arose, and he suddenly felt that the beautiful girl in front of him was actually very good, very good!

This is the war years, human life is like grass, there can be a person who sincerely loves and cares, it is a blessing from several generations of cultivation, as long as the heart is still long, you have to appreciate it! (To be continued.) )
