The victory of Shangqiu was good news for the Chinese military and civilians, but for the Japanese army at that time, it was no less than a bolt from the blue, and the commander of the Second Army of the Japanese Army, Lieutenant General Nishio Toshizo, received a telegram from the middle and early days, and was immediately stunned and shocked, the matter was too big, and after careful consideration, he decided to report it to the commander of the North China Front, General Terauchi Taoichi. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

It was already eleven o'clock in the evening, Terauchi Taoichi and Chief of Staff Okabe Naosaburo had gone to bed, but the military situation was urgent, and the officers of the telecommunications office did not dare to slack off, and woke up the two respectively, and the originally dazed Terauchi Taoichi and Okabe Naosaburo seemed to be drenched from head to toe with cold water all of a sudden, and woke up completely, and the two hurriedly returned to the headquarters, met at the door, and walked into the office with bitter smiles on their faces.

''Okabe-kun, what should I do?'' Teranachi said with a wry smile.

Last month, Sakai Yukio provided specific coordinates for the aviation brigade, saying that it was Liu Changfeng's howitzer group, tank group, mortar group, and the location of the headquarters, and after the air force bombed it, Yamaguchi Kikuko of the Mei organ sent a telegram confirming it, and a few days ago, Yamaguchi Kikuko sent a telegram saying that Liu Changfeng's large army had been marched to Zhengzhou, and it turned out that all this was false.、、、、 ''Okabe Naosaburo said bitterly.

Temple Tao turned pale, nodded slowly, and said; "Yes, it's ridiculous that after Sakai Yukio failed to assassinate Liu Changfeng, I posthumously awarded him the rank of Nakazo and promoted him as a hero of the Japanese Empire. Okabe-kun, you say this, do you think that the failure of the early and early dynasties is because of Liu Changfeng's thunderous anti-Japanese vanguard?"

Naosaburo Okabe nodded and said; ''Of course, there is no doubt about it, what kind of thing is Huang Jie?'' Although he was born in the first phase of Whampoa and has the strength of three divisions, his combat effectiveness cannot be compared with our 50,000 army. Liu Changfeng's combat style was completely unexpected by us, he did not wait for us to attack in the fortifications, nor did he set up an ambush on the way we had to go, but with his powerful firepower cover, he directly launched a counter-charge, intertwined with our troops, their automatic weapons were far superior to ours, the soldiers of the empire have always fought with the poorly armed Chinese army, and they were dumbfounded all of a sudden, which led to a great confusion in the army's heart, and after a little resistance, they swarmed and fled, and completely became the live target of the other party, what surprised me the most was that It is well known that there are no generals in the early and present dynasties, but they still cannot stop the rout of the troops. ‘’

Terauchi Tao sighed and said; "What impressed me the most about this telegram was a sentence that was not available in the early days and the present day, Liu Changfeng's troops were like two huge red clouds, quickly swallowing up our troops, I still feel a chill in my back when I think about it now, Liu Changfeng, what kind of person is he?"

Naosaburo Okabe was silent for a while and said; ''Your Excellency, the 14th Division of Kenji Dohihara is in danger, and the situation is very critical, and we must make a decision. ‘’

Tenai Tao walked in front of the huge military situation map, his brows were tightly locked, his eyes were staring at the map, he didn't speak for a long time, and suddenly let out a long sigh, saying; The order was to reverse overnight, leave Yucheng, retreat to the front line of Tangshan to assemble and standby, build fortifications, and strictly prevent Liu Changfeng's sneak attack. ‘’

Terauchi's order stunned Okabe Naosaburo, as a result, the 14th Division, which was surrounded by the Chinese army, was bound to be more auspicious, and even in danger of being wiped out, so he hurriedly said; ''Your Excellency, Commander, are we not going to leave the Fourteenth Division alone?''

Terauchi Taoichi looked at Naosaburo Okabe and said slowly; ''It's not that it doesn't matter, it's that it can't be managed, do you think you can break through Liu Changfeng's defense line with the defeated army in the early and early days? They were demoralized and frightened by the Chinese army, and I can assure you that if we force our attack, we will inevitably be the second Kenji Tohihara, so let's order Ryosuke Isoya's 10th Division not to get entangled with the Chinese defenders in Haozhou, and to go directly to the vicinity of Longquji, to make a bloody way, to pick up the 14th Division, and in addition, let the air brigade send all the planes to help them as much as possible. ‘’

''Your Excellency, Commander, there is no reversal in the early Middle and Present Dynasties, and the pressure on the Chinese defenders in Shangqiu has been greatly reduced, which may be detrimental to the 14th Division. Okabe Naosaburo said bluntly.

''No'''' Terauchi Taoichi directly rejected Okabe Naosaburo's suggestion and said solemnly; ''Okabe-kun, you are also a China expert, you should know the truth of losing the car to protect the handsome, now the plan, we can only do our best to obey the destiny of heaven, I hope that the earth and the original good luck. ‘’

Okabe Naosaburo suddenly felt a burst of sadness, just a few months ago, the iron hooves of the imperial army swept across the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, even the battle and victory, all the way forward, Shanghai, Suzhou, Wuxi, Nanjing, etc. all fell into the pocket of the empire, the Chinese army was frightened, retreated in a hurry, the situation can be described as a very good, unexpectedly since April and May this year, the situation changed abruptly, the imperial army fell a big somersault in Taierzhuang, Xuzhou, and then the 14th Division was trapped in the Lanfeng area, and now the third mixed brigade is almost completely annihilated, The 16th Division and the 13th Mixed Brigade were also badly damaged, what the hell is going on? For the first time, Naosaburo Okabe had doubts about whether the empire could win the war.

What makes Okabe Naosaburo even more difficult to accept is that Terauchi Taoichi, who is the supreme commander of the Japanese North China Front, actually had a fear of Liu Changfeng, like a frightened bird, no, as the chief of staff of the North China Front, it is necessary to clear this obstacle for Terauchi Taoichi, and he made up his mind at the moment, Dao; ''Your Excellency, it is true that Liu Changfeng's troops are strong in combat, but he only has two divisions at most, and we must get rid of him while he is still in his fledgling. ‘’

The temple Tao moved in his heart and said happily; ''Oh? What is Okabe's plan? Please speak. ‘’

Naosaburo Okabe; "Chiang Kai Shi has more than 100,000 troops in eastern Henan, with all due respect, there is no reversal in the early and early days, with a division of Isoya Liansuke, it may be a little difficult to rescue Tufeiyuanjun, the key is that time does not allow, Tufeiyuanjun has been fighting for several days, and he has suffered heavy losses, and he can only hold out for one or two days at most, anyway, the result is the same, we might as well give up rescuing Tufeiyuanjun, concentrate the troops, set up an ambush, and work together to get rid of Liu Changfeng first. ‘’

Terauchi said with a frown; I'm afraid this is not so easy, after this battle, Liu Changfeng's reputation is outside, Jiang Jieshi must have attached great importance to him, and it is not easy to get rid of him. ‘’

Naosaburo Okabe shook his head and said; "Not necessarily, everyone has weaknesses, and Liu Changfeng's weakness is jealousy and hatred." ‘’

The temple Tao was bright, and said; ''What if you are jealous of evil?''

Okabe Naosaburo whispered a few words in the ear of Terauchi Taoichi, Terauchi Tao nodded again and again, his eyes became brighter and brighter, and he liked the color, and said; "Okay, that's it, you can draw up three telegrams now, and send them to Nakahaya and Imaino, Isoya Ryosuke, and the base camp in Japan." ‘’

The defeat of the Japanese army in the eastern Henan battlefield shook the government and the opposition in Japan, and Liu Changfeng's Thunder Anti-Japanese Vanguard became the focus of contradictions, and the Japanese base camp instructed the North China Front Army to go all out to deal with the Thunder Anti-Japanese Vanguard, and Liu Changfeng was suddenly pushed to the cusp.
