The 14th Division of the Japanese Army captured Zhongmu on June 7, the 27th year of the Republic of China, and the cavalry wing of the division blew up the Nanjing-Han Railway north of Zhengzhou on the 10th; The commander of the 30th Brigade of the 16th Division, Jiro Shinohara, led three infantry brigades to blow up the Jinghan Railway south of Xinzheng on 12 June.

At this point, the plan of my several armies to encircle and annihilate the Tufeiyuan Division in the Lanfeng area can be regarded as completely bankrupt!

The battle situation took a sharp turn. The current situation is no longer only the encirclement and annihilation of the 14th Division of the devils, but also the safety of the Zhengzhou and Jinghan Railways, where the Commander's Headquarters of the First Theater is stationed, because the attack speed of the 10th and 16th Divisions is too fast!

In addition, the elite four armies of the Central Army and the twelve main divisions still did not annihilate the 14th Division of Tufeiyuan when they took the lead and exhausted the main forces! This ruthless fact almost made the chairman, who has always had a good face, almost become an international laughing stock. This is going to lose Zhengzhou again, how can he hold his head up in front of international friends in the future? How do you deal with the bigwigs in Europe and the United States?

What to do? Sending troops to the past is far away and can't quench the thirst of the near, but Zhengzhou must not be lost! At that time, although the city of Zhengzhou was not large, it was the most important railway intersection in the country, and its importance in transportation was self-evident. In particular, it is also the headquarters of the commander of the First Theater of Operations, and if it is casually thrown to the Japanese, it will be too great a blow to the confidence of the people of the whole country in the War of Resistance!

Not only Cheng Qian can't bear this responsibility, but even the chairman can't afford the negative impact of the loss of Zhengzhou! Send reinforcements, no; The city cannot be lost! What to do?

In ancient China, there were countless art of war, and everyone used the right time and place to defeat the enemy in the case of a shortage of soldiers and major generals, among which the most used are water and fire!

Water and fire are ruthless, no matter how fast human science and technology progress, no matter how powerful the power at its disposal, it is still insignificant in the face of nature. Water and fire are always the magic weapons to win in war! The senior staff members of the Military Commission, who are familiar with the ancient and modern art of war, of course, know that water and fire can win, and in Zhengzhou, there is a big river that has existed for tens of millions of years, the Yellow River!

This river of the mother of the Chinese nation has nurtured and multiplied the Chinese civilization for thousands of years. It is also this river of life that has burst its banks countless times in the history of the Chinese nation! Every time the Yellow River bursts, it brings an unprecedented catastrophe to the people in the basin. Water can defeat the enemy, but the Yellow River is a big river that cannot be controlled by manpower, once the embankment is dug, no one can predict what the result will be!

Someone built a construction for the chairman of the committee, digging the Yellow River embankment to flood the Japanese army! The chairman was silent at the time. As the leader of a country, he is unwilling to create disasters for the common people in the world. However, he could not bear the catastrophe of the destruction of the country and the destruction of the country. In the midst of the dilemma, the chairman of the committee lost the decision-making power to the commander of the first theater of operations.

General Cheng Qian, commander of the First Theater of Operations, knew that if Zhengzhou was lost, he would inevitably bear unshirkable responsibility. But digging the embankment of the Yellow River will also make him a sinner of the nation through the ages, and he is not willing to bear this crime. As a result, telegrams were exchanged between the First Theater and the Military Commission, and the question of how to hold Zhengzhou was discussed.

One thing is discussed a lot, and the solution will come out. In the end, between the First Theater and the Military Commission, a tacit understanding was formed between Chief Cheng and the chairman of the committee. Everyone knows what the other person means, but they don't know what they mean, so let's do what they want.

When the 27th Army was ordered to move Luoyang, Hu Fei did not follow, and he fell behind. Since there were suddenly two more Japanese divisions on the battlefield, the order of the entire battlefield was completely disrupted. It's good to mess up! Hu Fei is now afraid that the world will not be chaotic, his cavalry brigade will have no horses, and there will be about 200 soldiers left, if there is no chaos, where will he have a chance?

"Run!" The two of them were running fast in front, and behind them were a dozen devil soldiers screaming and chasing. This is Hu Fei's second sneak attack on the devil and was chased by the enemy. Escape and chase like this have been repeated countless times in the past few days.

Hu Fei and Yuan Fang, with their outstanding skills and speed, always kept a distance of about 100 meters from the devil. It is neither far nor close, so that the devils can see them, but also so that the devils can't catch up and can't fight. However, it is clear that this situation cannot be sustained for long. Running to the edge of a forest, the two of them "snorted" and disappeared into the forest.

The four words "Fenglin Mo enter", the devils chasing behind obviously have never heard of it. As soon as he saw that the two people in front of him had drilled into the woods, the devil didn't say a word, and chased him in with a gun!

The light in the woods is a little dim, the trees are dense and overgrown with weeds, and you can't see too far. The devil didn't go far inside and didn't leave. It's not that they've discovered anything, it's an instinctive human reaction to danger, and the devil has now discovered that this forest is not a good place.

However, it's too late to tell! From the top of the tree, behind the tree, and in the grass, countless figures suddenly appeared! These people appeared around the devils almost at the same time, and each of them had a number of people in front of them.

The devils couldn't shoot and resist, these people took ropes around the devil's neck and beat the devil with a wooden stick on the back of the head. Almost in the blink of an eye, the souls of these dozen or so devils who rashly chased into the woods returned to the Yasukuni Shrine.

Hu Fei turned out from behind a tree, and his soldiers were already cleaning the battlefield to search for the corpse of the devil. Hu Fei has done several cases like this by people with good skills to lure a few devils to a remote place to kill them, and the more he does it, the more skilled he becomes, and the more he does it, the more interested he becomes.

Not to mention those people from the former Independent Brigade, even the officers and soldiers of the former 88th Division, such as Xing Baoshan, who had just joined, were also very happy to watch. Anyway, it's a devil, how can you fight a fight? There is nothing wrong with being able to play a brutal war tricks.

On June 9, it rained heavily. Summer rainfall in the Central Plains is also a very normal natural phenomenon. But the rain that day was surprisingly heavy. The sky and the earth were watery, and the pouring rain had not stopped for an hour. The water in the ground has flowed into small streams, and small rivers have even appeared in low-lying areas.

Hu Fei was walking with his troops to an abandoned village near Zhongmu when it rained heavily, so he led his soldiers to the village to take shelter from the rain.

The village is small, with only a few dozen low-rise houses, and there is not a single person in the whole village except for two stray wild dogs. Hu Fei lived with the medical team and the brigade headquarters in the largest courtyard in the village.

"Brother Fei, you said that the water in this place is so big, will it be flooded?" Liu Dong looked at the sky, and then at the stagnant water outside the yard, full of worries.
