In fact, in Huang Haoran's eyes, the "Battle of Lanfeng" that was being fought between Xue Yue and Tu Feiyuan did not have much value worthy of his participation. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Huang Haoran knew very well that Xue Yue in history almost won this battle. If it weren't for the fact that two high-ranking generals who were greedy for life and afraid of death under Xue Yue's subordinates later buried all Xue Yue's efforts, Xue Yue might even have ended up in the Battle of Lanfeng.

It can be seen that there is no problem with the tactics adopted by Xue Yue in this battle of Lanfeng. Therefore, Huang Haoran didn't have to interfere with Xue Yue's command at all, he only needed to prevent the "accident" from happening, and the 1st War Zone would be able to safely pocket a heavy result! Even if Xue Yue can't command the Chinese army to completely annihilate the 14th Division in the end, it is still completely possible to inflict heavy damage on the Tufeiyuan Division!

Officially based on this psychology, Huang Haoran seemed very leisurely on the way to Kaifeng.

Originally, the train carrying the Guard Regiment and the 29th Division could go directly to Kaifeng. However, because the railway was blown up by Japanese bombers, the sappers stationed along the Longhai Road in the 1st Theater could not be repaired in a short time, and Huang Haoran could only leave the railway with his troops and march dozens of kilometers to Kaifeng.

This time, Huang Haoran did not walk with the officers and soldiers again, but rode on a war horse, and Xu Zilong and Cao Fulin also rode horses and followed closely behind Huang Haoran. After the troops moved forward for a while, Xu Zilong suddenly rode his horse and rushed to Huang Haoran's side, and asked with a smile:

"Commander, Wuhan won't forget our military exploits in Taierzhuang, right? Now that the battle of Xuzhou has been fought, why hasn't the commendation order of the Military Commission been issued? The brethren are looking forward to your promotion to general, commander! ”

Huang Haoran raised the horsewhip in his hand and raised it at Xu Zilong, and then said with a smile: "You kid is just not honest!" What are you looking forward to Lao Tzu's promotion? I think you're in a hurry to get promoted, right? How? Don't want to be the head of Lao Tzu's guard regiment? ”

Xu Zilong knew that the horsewhip in Huang Haoran's hand would not fall on his head, but he still pretended to dodge on horseback, then stabilized his body and replied loudly: "Look at what you said, Commander!" The position of the head of this guard regiment, even if I am given a military commander, I will not change! It's my honor to be on an errand for you, Commander! ”

When Huang Haoran was talking to Xu Zilong, Cao Fulin behind also rode up on horseback. As an old fritter who has been rolling in the military for half his life, Cao Fulin likes to talk about this topic of "promotion and wealth". Now that Cao Fulin has joined Huang Haoran's small group, he naturally hopes that Huang Haoran can rise step by step. Only when Huang Haoran stands firm and stands tall, can these people in the 25th Group Army have a bright future!

If Huang Haoran can become the youngest army general in the Central Army, it would be a great thing!

"Commander, what Regiment Commander Xu said is actually the truth, aren't we people relying on your promotion, Commander? As long as you can ascend, our 25th Army will not be able to coax it! ”

Cao Fulin's words are much more explicit than what Xu Zilong said, and the reason why he, Cao Fulin, dared to say it so directly, is naturally for a reason.

The 55th Army had been in the 25th Army for a long time, and Cao Fulin found that Huang Haoran's 25th Army was very different from the other Central Army! The 25th Army is very flamboyant from officers to soldiers, in this small group, low-key and modesty are not eaten, if you want to get the respect of others, then you have to have that little ability!

Huang Haoran, the commander, has always been a bowl of water, no matter where you came from before or what your background was, as long as you can win battles, make military merits, and enjoy the things that the ace master enjoys, you can enjoy the same!

Gradually, Cao Fulin adapted to the thinking and behavior patterns of Huang Haoran's small group. Over time, Cao Fulin even felt that the army should be like the 25th Group Army, this is where men stay!

Huang Haoran smiled at Cao Fulin, and then said in a deep voice: "At my promotion speed, there are already many people in the government who don't like it. The fact that the Military Commission has withheld the commendation order for our 25th Army has not been issued for a long time, which is actually a good thing to some extent......"

Cao Fulin couldn't help but be silent after listening to Huang Haoran's answer, and Xu Zilong on the side was full of anger! He apparently felt that the Military Council was too unfair to his commander!

It only took more than half a year for Huang Haoran to climb from an ordinary major general and division commander to the position of deputy commander of the theater, which is simply a miracle in the eyes of onlookers! As Huang Haoran's subordinates, Xu Zilong and Cao Fulin knew how much Huang Haoran had paid for all this!

Looking at the whole of China, which general can compare his military exploits on the battlefield of resistance against Japan with Huang Haoran? The honor of "the youngest army general", who can you give it if you don't give it to Huang Haoran?

Age and qualifications have become the two biggest obstacles on the road to Huang Haoran's promotion! And China's officialdom is the most particular about these two things!

Cao Fulin knows very well that among the Chinese generals who have been awarded the rank of general by the Military Commission, there are many people who have not made outstanding military exploits, but there are no people with qualifications who have never appeared!

The bunch of senior military officers of the Wuhan government is not so much a talent pool as a nursing home! There are only a handful of generals who can match the number of gold stars on their collars!

Huang Haoran saw that Cao Fulin and Xu Zilong's emotions had some fluctuations, so he took the initiative to change the topic:

"This time, we will meet a lot of old acquaintances when we go to the 1st war zone! Among these people, there are both enemies and friends, and I'm afraid they won't get along too well......"

After turning to Kaifeng, Huang Haoran successively received a lot of battle reports from the 1st War Zone. Although Xue Yue was a little dissatisfied with Huang Haoran becoming his boss, he still did a relatively beautiful job on the scene. A front-line battle report every two hours was never delayed, and Huang Haoran was given a "sub-seat" in the telegram, but it is unknown whether this telegram was drafted by Xue Yue himself.

With the deepening of the Battle of Lanfeng, more and more Chinese troop numbers appeared on Xue Yue's battle report, and Huang Haoran had seen many familiar names.

Qiu Qingquan, Song Xilian, Yu Jishi, and Wang Yaowu all experienced the defense of Nanjing with Huang Haoran and can be regarded as friends. And Hu Zongnan, Gui Yongqing and Li Tiejun, the generals who have suffered Huang Haoran's "loss", naturally have to be regarded as "enemies", as well as Sun Tongxuan, Shang Zhen and Xue Yue, the relationship between them and Huang Haoran is between "friend and foe", delicate.

With such a complex personnel relationship as a foreshadowing, Huang Haoran's trip to Kaifeng is impossible to relax......

"I'm not worried about these people......" Xu Zilong's words were amazing, Cao Fulin didn't even think about it, so he blurted out: "How do you say this?" ”

"Commander Cao, you haven't been here for a long time, so it's not strange if you don't know...... Those of us who came out of the 99th Division know that none of the people who play tricks with our commander can please us!"

Listening to Xu Zilong's answer, Huang Haoran couldn't help laughing! If such a reason is heard by Hu Zongnan and Gui Yongqing, I am afraid that they will never give up easily.

"How far is it to Kaifeng?"

Huang Haoran turned his head and asked Xu Zilong, but Cao Fulin hurriedly replied: "It shouldn't be far away!" Commander, I'll be there in two hours! ”

Huang Haoran nodded, then pointed at Xu Zilong with a horsewhip and said loudly: "Send a report to Kaifeng!" Two hours later, we entered the city through the South Gate! ”

**************************************************

After receiving a telegram from Huang Haoran saying that he was about to arrive in Kaifeng, Cheng Qian, the commander of the 1st Theater of Operations, immediately dispatched the military police units in Kaifeng City to impose a total martial law on the "South City Gate." Then he rushed to the city gate with a group of senior generals of the 1st War Zone to meet Huang Haoran.

Cheng Qian's "courtesy" to Huang Haoran made Hu Zongnan and others feel very unhappy! Cheng Qian, the commander of the 1st Theater, led a group of their senior generals of the 1st Theater to stand by the city gate and look forward to it, and those who don't know will think that the highest authorities have come to Kaifeng!

Li Tiejun stood beside Hu Zongnan and lowered his head and did not speak, and meeting Huang Haoran again made Li Tiejun look a little nervous! In the Battle of Nanjing, Huang Haoran borrowed from the 1st Army and has not replaced them until now! If it weren't for Hu Zongnan's need for Li Tiejun to testify against Huang Haoran in front of him when he came to Kaifeng this time, the commandery of the 1st Army would have changed a long time ago!

Looking at Li Tiejun's shrunken appearance, Hu Zongnan was not depressed in his heart! He couldn't understand how he could have taken a fancy to such a scumbag in the first place! I actually considered letting Li Tiejun take over his class! Fortunately, I found out early now that Li Tiejun is an embroidered pillow! If it was a few years later, maybe his family was sent away by Li Tiejun, and people didn't know what was going on!

Hu Zongnan, who gritted his teeth, decided to join Huang Haoran in front of Cheng Qian, and he must give Huang Haoran a dismount!

"Song Gong... You really exalted him Huang Haoran, and actually came to the city gate to greet him in person! You are a veteran of the military! The committee has great respect for you! He, Huang Haoran, is just the deputy commander of the 1st Theater of Operations! After all, it's your deputy! Where is it worth such a big formation! ”

Cheng Qian has been able to roll in the government for so many years, naturally he is not an idle person, and he immediately heard Hu Zongnan's "voice outside the strings". There is no impermeable wall in the world, Huang Haoran pit the 1st Army in Nanjing, Cheng Qian has also heard of it, and Cheng Qian, who knows Hu Zongnan's motives, will certainly not be provoked by Hu Zongnan.

"Shoushan, what you said is too serious! I had no choice but to do so! Recently, it has not been peaceful in Kaifeng City, and you have just arrived, so it is not strange that you don't know. Huang Youchen is the new deputy commander of our 1st Theater and a victorious general on the battlefield of resistance against Japan! It's not good if something goes wrong... Xue Boling was digging soil and fertilizing the plains in front of him, and he couldn't get out. I can't help him with anything, so it's okay to pick up people here, right? ”

Cheng Qian's "Tai Chi Pusher" played very beautifully, not only did not offend Hu Zongnan, a celebrity in front of the highest authorities, but also showed his importance to Huang Haoran and Xue Yue's love, it is really killing three birds with one stone!

Hu Zongnan closed his mouth and didn't speak, just now with Cheng Qian's trick, Hu Zongnan suddenly remembered the old saying--- "Jiang is still old and spicy!" ”

With the deepening of the all-out war of resistance, the fighting methods of China and Japan have developed from the frontal battlefield to the underground front. The Japanese secret services not only sent a large number of agents deep into China's hinterland to carry out sabotage and assassination, but also bribed a group of traitors to help them sell their lives at high prices. A few days ago, a deputy division commander of the 1st Army was assassinated by Japanese agents in Kaifeng City, and was seriously wounded and sent to a field hospital.

Cheng Qian didn't want Huang Haoran to encounter such a thing, so he decided to make some preparations in advance in case of accidents.

Cheng Qian knew very well in his heart that once this very normal action was said by someone with ulterior motives, it would immediately become a "criminal evidence" to criticize Huang Haoran for his pride! But that's fine, if the generals of the 1st War Zone huddle together to fight against Huang Haoran, Huang Haoran will definitely not be able to get involved in Xue Yue's affairs! It just gave Xue Yue time to calmly implement the Battle of Lanfeng.

Hu Zongnan patronized and wanted to use Cheng Qian to smear Huang Haoran, but where would he have thought that he himself would become a stumbling block for Cheng Qian to pull Huang Haoran!

Officials use and be used by each other, which is always a unique scenery in the officialdom of the Republic of China!

"It's coming! Here it comes! ”

A few war horses galloped on the avenue, these people were the sentinels released by Cheng Qian, and now that they appeared, it meant that Huang Haoran was about to appear.

Cheng Qian adjusted the general's uniform, and then ordered the gendarmes to line up on both sides of the road.

Two minutes later, Huang Haoran, who was riding a white horse, appeared in Cheng Qian's sight. Huang Haoran rode forward to a distance of about fifty or sixty meters away from Cheng Qian, and then turned over from the horse, Xu Zilong and Cao Fulin hurriedly dismounted and followed, and the officers and soldiers of the guard regiment behind immediately rushed up and took the reins of the war horse.

"It is said that Huang Youchen's troops are the elite of the elite! When I saw it today, it really lived up to its name! ”

The 25th Group Army is very well equipped with the guard regiment directly under the General Assembly, and the officers and soldiers took time to change into new uniforms on the train, Cheng Qian has been in the army for many years, and naturally has a good impression of such a majestic and mighty division.

"Humph! The Military Commission thinks about Huang Haoran first when it has any good things, and the Soviet goods that have just been shipped to China are actually equipped with Huang Haoran's troops! Song Gong! I'm not afraid of your jokes, but I dragged on countless favors to get half a regiment of Soviet goods! I really don't know what kind of means he Huang Haoran makes! Thus... This Huang Haoran is definitely a snobs who are good at drilling! ”

Hu Zongnan only cared about smearing Huang Haoran, and inadvertently, he actually went around himself! Huang Haoran is a snob, so what is he Hu Zongnan? It took countless favors to get half a regiment of Soviet goods? In this case, he Hu Zongnan is really embarrassed to say it!

Cheng Qian couldn't help but think of rumors in the government that the highest authorities wanted to train Hu Zongnan to succeed him! In this way, I am afraid that there is no talent in the pocket of the highest authority... A person like Hu Zongnan can actually be pushed to the position of heir!

"Song Gong! How dare you bother to come to greet you personally? If it reaches the ears of the commissioner, I'm afraid I will be scolded again! ”

Huang Haoran opened his arms from afar and walked towards Cheng Qian with a smile, as if he was an old friend with Cheng Qian, Cheng Qian smiled, greeted him, grabbed Huang Haoran's outstretched hand, held it hard, and said polite words without nutrition:

"It's kind of looking forward to you! O Youchen! With you, a victorious general, in charge! I don't think he can escape from Tu Feiyuan! ”

"Hahaha......!"

Dozens of generals present burst out laughing, and even Hu Zongnan laughed a few times with his throat in his voice. Only Li Tiejun never made a sound, from the moment Huang Haoran appeared, Li Tiejun hid in the crowd one by one, for fear that Hu Zongnan would be angry with him.

"Come, come, come! Youchen! After all the way, you must be hungry, right? I think we'd better go to dinner first, shall we? ”

Cheng Qian never mentioned the war between Xue Yue and the front line, but just blindly politely with Huang Haoran, Huang Haoran already had a plan in his heart, in order not to stiffen with Cheng Qian and these officers in the 1st War Zone as soon as they met, Huang Haoran decided to go to the banquet!

Xue Yue, Xue Yue! Don't say that I, Huang Haoran, don't help you! Judging from Cheng Qian's performance just now, if Xue Yue was not allowed to suffer a little loss under Tu Feiyuan's hands first, I am afraid that Xue Yue would definitely not listen to other people's opinions!

Huang Haoran can only pretend that he didn't see through Cheng Qian's intentions now, but he just suffered the officers and soldiers who fought bloodily on the front line!

This night has passed, and I don't know how many Chinese hot-blooded men have been broken!

***************************************************

The 14th Division, which was in a desperate situation, not only punched Xue Yue, but also made the supreme authorities who were looking forward to victory unable to get off the stage.

At dawn on June 3, just as Xue Yue was commanding all Chinese troops to prepare for the final blow to the Tufeiyuan Division, a message from the front line almost stunned Xue Yue!

Gui Yongqing's 27th Army, which was part of the Western Route Attack Force, lost the city of Lanfeng. As soon as Lan Feng lost the city, Xue Yue pierced this deep net as if he had been knocked open, not to mention the fish, even the small shrimp had run out.

Xue Yue, who was very excited, smashed the water cup in his hand to the ground with a "horn", and he roared loudly:

"Gui Yongqing, Gui Yongqing, you bastard who has not achieved enough and has more than enough failures. Let you attack you can't attack, and now you have lost the Lan Seal City, you have messed up my whole plan! ”

The surging blood made Xue Yue's face flush, and he asked loudly to the chief of staff, "Where is Gui Yongqing's 27th Army now!" ”

The chief of staff obviously didn't like to see a soft egg like Gui Yongqing, and Yudai replied in disgust: "The 27th Army has now retreated from Luowang Station, Gui Yongqing has no ability, he just has long legs!" ”

"Bunny, run fast! If such a shameless coward is not punished, how can this battle be fought. After calming down, Xue Yue decided to sue the "Imperial Petition", he needed to have a Shang Fang sword like Huang Haoran in the Battle of Nanjing and Li Guan in the Battle of Xuzhou!

"Send a telegram to the Wuchang Military Commission, send an emergency telegram. Gui Yongqing, the commander of the 27th Army, was afraid of death, cowered in battle, and refused to carry out the order to defend the city, causing Lan to close the city and fall into the hands of the Japanese chieftain Tu Feiyuan without a fight, disrupting the entire plan of our first war zone. If such despicable performance is not punished, it will disturb the morale of the generals on the front line and cause great harm to the overall situation of the War of Resistance. I hope the Military Commission will check it! ”

After dictating the contents of the telegram, Xue Yue suddenly slumped in the chair of the former low command. At this moment, Tu Fei Yuan had already slipped into Lan Feng City with his 14th Division, Lan Feng City was backed by the Yellow River, and this time the 14th Division would be able to get supplies from the north bank, and it would take a lot of effort to annihilate the Tu Fei Yuan Division.

The results of the bloody battle of the Chinese officers and soldiers for several days were all lost because of a Gui Yongqing!

In the first round of the competition, Xue Yue won first and then lost, and unfortunately lost to the treacherous Tu Feiyuan.

When Xue Yue felt that the world was spinning in Kaifeng, the soil and fertilizer yuan in the Blue Seal City showed a hideous smile!

The Chinese army really can't compare with the heroic imperial army! A commander who is afraid of death is enough to turn the course of a campaign!

In fact, when Li Hansoul and Song Xilian's two armies joined up and began to storm Yifeng, Tufeiyuan's 14th Division was a little overwhelmed.

If it continues to hold on, the encirclement of the Chinese army will shrink and shrink, and eventually the entire 14th Division will be in a desperate situation. Food and ammunition can be airdropped, but what about gasoline? Once there is no gasoline, the hundreds of combat vehicles, trucks, and artillery tractors of the 14th Division will be a pile of scrap metal.

If all these tanks, trucks, and artillery tractors were lost, the military strength of the 14th Division would be greatly reduced, and the dream of complete mechanization of the division would also be in vain. Besides, if the Chinese army really risked its life to desperately besiege these key points, who could guarantee that the reinforcements from Xuzhou would definitely arrive in time. The example of the Isoya Division is still in front of us, and Tu Feiyuan doesn't dare to take chances!

If the Japanese army in North China threw an entire army division on the Chinese battlefield again, it would be a complete disaster! Not only will Tu Feiyuan be unable to escape death, but even General Terauchi Shouichi and even Sugiyama Motoriku will be in big trouble!

In this way, wouldn't he become a sinner of the Great Japanese Empire through the ages and ruin his reputation?!

After some psychological struggle, Kenji Dohihara, who is as cunning as a fox, feels that it is more secure to survive on his own.

So where to break through? Tu Feiyuan looked at the east and the west, and suddenly his brain lit up. His sense of conspiracy and adventure led him to a startling idea. Lan Feng, yes, the Chinese advance and I will also advance and capture Lan Fengcheng.

Tu Feiyuan is not only a genius who plays with conspiracy, but also an amateur in marching and arranging troops. Although breaking through to the east is conducive to jumping out of the encirclement and moving closer to the main force, the Chinese generals who surrounded the 14th Division are not stupid, how can the 14th Division easily go to join the main force?

Besides, to break through to the east, the 14th Division is liberated, but the Chinese army is also liberated, so the purpose of holding back the Chinese army cannot be achieved! The army that turns to the west in Xuzhou will lose its goal! How can Tohihara explain to General Shouichi Terauchi when he goes back?

Could it be that the North China Front Army let the 14th Division detour to the Longhai Line, just to let the Tufeiyuan Division come in and be beaten by the Chinese army?! At this time, Tu Feiyuan was already clearly aware that as long as he improved the current situation first, then the 14th Division was absolutely sure that it would last for a while. Although the Chinese soldiers were inspired by the Battle of Taierzhuang and were much braver than in the past, they lacked heavy weapons after all, and it was difficult for them to overcome the strong fortifications of the 14th Division! It is relatively certain that the 14th Division will hold out in the encirclement of the Chinese army for a week or ten days.

The main force of the imperial army in the east has already taken Xuzhou, and the two divisions of the North China Front and the Central China Dispatch Army may have been on the way to the west. As long as the 14th Division takes Lanfeng, there will be a way to solve all difficulties!

Fighting a war is like gambling, so how can there be no reason not to take risks? After taking Lanfeng, the main force of the 14th Division will be able to turn to the three strongholds of Sanyi Village, Luowang Village, and Quxingji on the edge of the Yellow River. At that time, we will be able to get help from Liuyuankou on the other side, especially gasoline. With gasoline, what else can the Chinese army do with the 14th Division?

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Tohihara's fat face. He's already decided! The 14th Division wanted to take Lanfeng and Gui Yongqing's 27th Army.

Gui Yongqing's 27th Army has not been in very good shape since it launched its attack. Originally, the highest authorities attached great importance to this "German general" who had stayed abroad and left Whampoa, and specially pulled him out of the Wuhan War Cadre Regiment and brought him to the battlefield in eastern Henan. What made Gui Yongqing even more favored was that the highest authorities also brought 2 chariot units of the 200th Division led by Qiu Qingquan to help Gui Yongqing's 27th Army!

Since the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese war in 1937, the Chinese officers and soldiers have been most afraid of chariots, a steel behemoth that has made them suffer a lot. Today, the highest authorities gritted their teeth and threw the chariots bought with expensive dollars into the battlefield and strengthened them to the 27 Army. But among these army and division commanders in the 1st War Zone, who is qualified to compete with Gui Yongqing and be jealous.

The flattered Gui Yongqing was triumphant, but he knew what this battle meant to him! The highest authorities are in Zhengzhou at the moment, staring at the entire 1 theater of operations, and even more at Gui Yongqing and his 27th Army!

The huge pressure made Gui Yongqing's heart empty, Gui Yongqing knew his own business, so what could Ling Tian rely on.

In terms of combat, Gui Yongqing did not have the brilliant achievements of other Whampoa generals, and Gui Yongqing did not show much in the battles of Shanghai, Nanjing, North China, and other large and small battles. was also imprisoned on suspicion of assassinating Huang Hao! The reason why he Gui Yongqing was able to escape from the prison of the Military Justice Department and become the commander of the 27th Army was not because of his iron backer, Minister He, and his teacher-student relationship with the highest authorities? At the moment, the highest authorities put him under their noses, and they have to wait to see his Gui Yongqing's performance, it's no wonder that Gui Yongqing is not nervous!

What made Gui Yongqing even more depressed was that Tufeiyuan's 14th Division also seemed to be unable to get along with him, and resisted with all his might, but did not withdraw. In the direction of the attack of other troops, the 14th Division of Tufeiyuan was almost withdrawn to the core. Therefore, in the few days since the attack was launched, all units have made progress, but Gui Yongqing, an elite unit equipped with combat vehicles, has achieved the least results.

On the evening of June 2, Gui Yongqing received a telegram from the highest authorities asking him about the reasons for the unfavorable progress, and his face turned red and his whole body was hot. Gui Yongqing was a little breathless, and at this time, it seemed that all that occupied Gui Yongqing's mind was how to break through the Japanese defense line, how to achieve results, and how to save face. Who knew that the Japanese wanted Gui Yongqing to lose face, and before Gui Yongqing could do it again, the Japanese made the first move.

That night, Tsuchihara ordered Toyomei Botaro to lead the 27th Brigade to attack westward in two directions. More than 2,000 people all the way directly attacked Guiyongqing District, Madaofu and Maji; On the other hand, more than 3,000 people advanced to the rear of Yiwu. Gui Yongqing was caught off guard, his troops suffered heavy casualties, their positions were broken through one after another, and seven or eight chariots were destroyed. Katsura collapsed. Maji fell.

In the early morning of June 3, the 14th Division of Tufeiyuan did not relax. The main force was transferred to storm Meng Xiaoji, and the death of Zhong Song's 61st Division of the Gui Army could not be effective. The position was broken through. Seeing this, Gui Yongqing was deeply afraid that Lan Feng would make a mistake, so he urgently ordered Jiang Fusheng to lead the 36th Division to help. Not far out of the city, thousands of reinforcements from the 36th Division were suddenly attacked by the Japanese army. The Japanese army, with the coordination of the chariots, exerted great power, smashing left and right as if entering a no-man's land. The 36th Division had no intention of fighting, and it collapsed in an instant. The rout was running in groups and couldn't control it. Gui Yongqing's entire division was solved in such a mess. At noon, the Japanese army forced into the city of Lanfeng, and the important town of Lanfeng was in danger.

At this time, it all depends on Gui Yongqing. At this moment, although the outlying areas were lost, he still controlled one division after another. If the 27th Army can use the city walls to hold on to the Japanese army, then Gui Yongqing, the regiment of the Tufeiyuan Division, will make the first contribution. Moreover, at this time, the thousands of people in the Tufeiyuan Division were no longer like in the past, and most of them had become frightened birds, after all, there were more than 100,000 Chinese troops around with their guns pointed at them. If the siege is blocked, his troops are detached from their strongholds, and they may be eaten by the Chinese army from inside and outside at any time. Tu Feiyuan didn't dare to fall in love with Zhan Lan at all. Like a gambler, Tu Feiyuan pressed the treasure on the rout of a Chinese army.

Gui Yongqing had a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make a contribution, but he was like an indecisive novice in the casino, and he was so frightened by a big chip that his opponent had boldly bet on him that he was dizzy and shrank back.

In Lanfeng City, Gui Yongqing saw that Jiang Fusheng's 36th Division was scattered and Zhong Song's 61st Division position was crushed, and the last line of defense in his heart that was firmly holding Lanfeng completely collapsed. At this time, the fierce gunfire outside Lan Feng City was clearly audible, stirring his heart like a pot of boiling porridge that could not be calmed. If you stay in Lanfeng any longer, you may be sealed in the city. But he understood what it meant to him to lose Lan Feng. Han Fuyu lost his head for this. How good can he be? Even if the death penalty can be avoided, the living sin cannot be escaped. Then his life will not be ruined.

Gui Yongqing can't advance or retreat, and he is full of sorrow. One bad news after another made his heart sink even more. Seeing that Roland Station, Quxingji, and Roland Village were lost one by one, Gui Yongqing couldn't sit still anymore, he knew that no matter how hesitant he was at the moment, he couldn't run even if he wanted to. Gui Yongqing gritted his teeth and pushed Long Muhan into the oil pot at a critical moment.

Who is Long Muhan? He was originally a brigade commander of the 88th Division of Song Xilian's 71st Army. When the Battle of Lanfeng was about to start, Gui Yongqing didn't know what wind was blowing in the ears of the chairman, and Chiang Kai-shek nodded, and assigned the 88th Division to Gui Yongqing's East Road Attack Force. In this army, they are all formed into an army. With the exception of the 88th Division, Long Muhan was naturally displeased when he saw this. There is the intention of leading the troops to return to the army. Follow Gui Yong to settle something and send him to death, it is theirs, and the 88th Division will not be able to gain anything. And what Long Muhan is most afraid of is that someone will sacrifice his "foreign brothers" at a critical moment. "If he had followed his own army, he would never have such concerns.

The more I am afraid of ghosts, the more I see ghosts. At 3 o'clock in the morning on June 3, when Long Muhan led a brigade to struggle desperately on the southwest city wall of Lanfeng, he suddenly received a note sent by Gui Yongqing, ordering him to lead his troops to hold Lanfeng. At this moment, Gui Yongqing led his 106th Division to the west. Isn't this clearly pushing him into the fire pit? was so angry that Long Muhan scolded: "Gui Yongqing, this bastard, at the critical moment, he will draw his salary from the bottom of the kettle and give Lao Tzu this hand." Lao Tzu can hold on, and if he can't hold it, I will withdraw. I'm unlucky, and you won't be better. ”

Long Muhan couldn't hold it even if he wanted to. After a fierce battle with the Japanese army at noon, he felt that it was difficult to support him. At present, as soon as the 106th Division leaves, the huge Lan Blockade City is full of loopholes, where will he, the three or five thousand people, guard? Long Muhan gritted his teeth and withdrew! Let's not give him the surname Gui to be in charge of the dead ghost.

At 4 o'clock in the morning on June 3, Long Muhan led his troops to retreat to the Hanling Mausoleum southwest of Lanfeng. Lanfeng falls. Tufeiyuan took advantage of the situation to control Lanfeng and the line of Luolanzhai, Sanyisai, Quxingji, and Chenliukou on the south bank of the Yellow River, forming a horn trend, and made contact with the 20th Division near Guanhe on the north bank of the Yellow River.

In the Wuchang Military Commission, the air seems to be even hotter than on the Zhengzhou front, and in Wuhan in June, the weather is already unbearably hot.

His face was covered with dark clouds for a while, and his mouth cursed indistinctly; "How did Xue Weiling command, the more than 100,000 national troops couldn't deal with the 2 people in Tufeiyuan, and Lan Feng was actually lost, which is really incomprehensible.
