Since there was no specific military map, Liu Changfeng sent someone to recruit local villagers as guides. After lunch, Qiu Weihan, the liaison officer of the military command, found Liu Changfeng and conveyed the order of the supreme command to let the troops build fortifications in situ and stand by. The greatest role of the military command in the vanguard of the Thunder Resistance against Japan was to provide convenience for Liu Changfeng and the Nationalist Government in communication.

Xiaoyangshan is located in the choke point between Lanfeng and Shangqiu, which can be attacked and defended, and the strategic location is very important, and Liu Changfeng has no objection to Chairman Chiang's order. Now the elite troops of the national government are gathered in the Lanfeng area, and there are many famous generals, such as Xue Yue, Hu Zongnan, Song Xilian, and Qiu Qingquan...... The famous 74th Army, 71st Army, 64th Army, 32nd Army, 27th Army, and 17th Army, a total of 120,000 people surrounded the 20,000 people of Kenji Dohihara like an iron bucket, and it seemed that the 14th Division of the Japanese army was just around the corner. The Lan Feng he held was broken through by Kenji Tu Fei Yuan in just three hours, and he fled in a hurry, so that Chairman Jiang, who personally went to Zhengzhou to command, lost face, although Liu Changfeng knew the result of the war in advance, but he couldn't change it, and he couldn't tell Chairman Jiang before it happened; Be careful of Gui Yongqing, he's going to spoil you, right?

On the 23rd, history is still in accordance with its original trajectory, in the encirclement of the soil Fei Yuan Kenji ventured to break through, to attack Lanfeng County, only three hours to break through the outer position, Huangpu Phase I of the guard Gui Yongqing panicked, ran away, Lanfeng County surrendered to the Japanese army, Gui Yongqing's escape, led to the fall of Lanfeng and the chaos of the entire war. Tufeiyuan was also able to rely on Lanfeng and the villages along the Yellow River to hold on and wait for help. The Japanese army in Xuzhou had also begun to advance westward to rescue, and the 16th Division, the 3rd Mixed Brigade, and the 13th Mixed Brigade of Chaowu in the early morning and present morning and morning rushed to Shangqiu along the railway line.

At the same time, Chairman Chiang had to send a telegram to Liu Changfeng and Huang Jie, the commander of the Eighth Army of Huangpu Phase I stationed in Shangqiu, asking the two to block the Japanese army advancing westward to rescue, Liu Changfeng knew that in history, it was precisely because of Huang Jie's escape without a fight that the Nationalist troops who surrounded and suppressed Tufeiyuan Kenji fell into the danger of being surrounded, so they had to withdraw from the battle. It can be said that whether or not they can stop the Japanese reinforcements advancing westward is very important. For Liu Changfeng, it was God who gave him the opportunity to rewrite history.

Liu Changfeng was in high spirits, thinking to himself, if the original Huang Jie was alone in guarding Shangqiu, and it was forgivable to escape, now that he is here, he should not run away, right? Thinking of this, Liu Changfeng was full of confidence in the task of blocking the Japanese reinforcements, and on May 24, after lunch, Liu Changfeng and Lu Shaohui took a car to Shangqiu to meet with Huang Jie to discuss the matter of jointly blocking the Japanese army.

The car drove straight in, the soldiers of the Eighth Army learned the information in advance, and the various checkpoints were released one after another, and finally before dinner, Liu Changfeng and Lu Shaohui arrived in Shangqiu County, and the two only brought two orderlies with them, Zhang Hu and Deng Xiaolin.

The car came to Huang Jie's military headquarters, Huang Jie, Zhong Xiuyong, deputy commander of the Eighth Army, and Chen Qingfeng, chief of staff, came out to greet him in person.

The fact that Liu Changfeng held two divisions of US military equipment and joined the anti-Japanese war sequence of the Nationalist Government was already well known, and Huang Jie did not dare to underestimate him, so he politely invited Liu Changfeng and Lu Shaohui to sit down.

"Commander Huang, let's not talk about gossip, the purpose of the junior brother and Deputy Commander-in-Chief Lu today, you must also know, you are a highly talented student of the Whampoa Military Academy, and a proud protégé of Chairman Jiang, we are honored to advance and retreat with you and listen to your high views." Liu Changfeng smiled.

"Don't dare, don't dare, General Liu was born out of thin air, young and promising, the Thunder Anti-Japanese Vanguard has made outstanding achievements, and is in the limelight, I'm just a few years older, where is there any high opinion?'' Huang Jie laughed.

''Commander Huang, we are new to here, our eyes are dark, and we don't understand the situation, so you are welcome. Lu Shaohui said politely.

''Okay, Chief of Staff Chen, please tell the two commanders-in-chief about the situation.'' Huang Jie nodded.

Chen Qingfeng was tall and had the momentum of a soldier, but I saw him striding in front of a huge military situation map, picking up a baton, pointing to the map and saying; According to intelligence, the Japanese reinforcements have arrived at the Tangshan line, less than 200 kilometers away from our department, and the Japanese reinforcements include the 16th Division of the Middle and Early Morning Chaowu, as well as the 3rd and 13th Brigades, carrying a large number of heavy weapons, totaling more than 50,000 people, which can be described as a raging attack, while our department, on the other hand, has only less than 30,000 people. Even if General Liu's troops are added, there are only 40,000 people at full strength, and the situation is not optimistic. ‘’

Liu Changfeng secretly despised in his heart, Chen Qingfeng, as the chief of staff of the military department, was beating the drum in his heart before he started playing, no wonder he would run away, but his face was impassive and said; ''Chief of Staff Chen, can you tell us about your defense?''

''Yes.'' Chen Qingfeng picked up the baton, pointed to the map and said; According to intelligence, the Japanese were advancing rapidly along the railway line, and our troops had built two lines of defense at Platform and Zhangge, and in addition, a line of defense was also built on the periphery of Shangqiu, resisting layer by layer. ‘’

Liu Changfeng and Lu Shaohui nodded, noncommittal. Zhong Xiuyong, deputy commander of the Eighth Army, said; ''General Liu, how do you see your defense?''

Liu Changfeng owes himself and says; "In your situation, I estimate that the Japanese army has already obtained information, and we, they may not have it, and I am ready to take them by surprise and be taken by surprise." ‘’

Huang Jie's eyes lit up and said; ''General Liu, please say, Huang is willing to hear the details. ‘’

''Commander Huang, I'm going to place my heavy artillery behind the Zhangge Line, while the tanks follow my infantry to outflank the line on both sides, and everyone will work together to give them a head-on attack. Liu Changfeng said calmly. ‘’

Huang Jie nodded again and again and said; "That's okay, then, General Liu, you should quickly order your troops to act, I really envy you, you have such good equipment, look at us, ah, it's almost like calling Huazi." ‘’

Lu Shaohui smiled and said; ''Commander Huang, the weapons of the Central Army have also become called Huazi, so do those miscellaneous troops still want to live? You say, don't you? ‘’

''Less than the top, more than the bottom.'' Huang Jie laughed dryly.

Subsequently, Huang Jie set up a reception banquet for Liu Changfeng and Lu Shaohui, the wine and food were sumptuous, Liu Changfeng and Lu Shaohui didn't say a word, they feasted, and at the banquet, they finalized the details of the cooperation between the two troops, and it was smooth beyond imagination, no matter what Liu Changfeng and Lu Shaohui said, Huang Jie always readily agreed.

Of course, Lu Shaohui didn't know that Huang Jie was a runaway general, a few glasses of wine, he was arrogant, called him a brother, and became more and more affectionate with Huang Jie and others, but Liu Changfeng always felt uneasy, if he followed his own requirements, Huang Jie's department would definitely have to pay a lot of sacrifices, and he always agreed with arrogance, the more he agreed, the more Liu Changfeng felt that things were strange.
