On May 16, 1938, the Japanese army Kenji Dohihara led about 20,000 people of the 14th Division to cross the Yellow River at the last bend of the Yellow River in Jiuqu and enter the Lanfeng area of Henan. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Chairman Jiang was shocked and angry, and ordered Cheng Qian, who had succeeded Wei Lihuang, to annihilate him, and in a hurry, he even designated Xue Yue as the commander of this battle.

The bad news came one after another, and Chairman Chiang couldn't hold his breath, so he hurriedly summoned He Yingqin, chief of the General Staff of the Military Commission, Bai Chongxi, deputy chief of the General Staff, and Chen Cheng, his confidant, to discuss countermeasures.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Japanese are menacing, Kenji Dohihara is going to cut off the back road of my hundreds of thousands of troops in Xuzhou, let's talk about it, what should we do?'' Chairman Jiang said in a deep voice.

''Bench, haven't you already asked Xue Yue and Xue Boling to surround and annihilate them?'' I think the situation is not as bad as we imagined, there are five armies of 120,000 people in eastern Henan, even if they gnaw, they can also gnaw away the 20,000 people of Tu Fei Yuan Kenji. ''Bai Chongxi said.

''I hope so, but what about later?'' The intention of the Japanese to move west into Zhengzhou is already very obvious, and to the east of the Pinghan Railway in Henan is an endless plain, what can we use to resist the mechanized troops of the Japanese? The hundreds of thousands of troops we withdrew from Xuzhou are in danger, and Wuhan is in danger. Chairman Chiang said worriedly.

"Yes, the Japanese army is very strong, and our weapons are very different from theirs, so we can't fight them with the flesh and blood of the soldiers, right?'' He Ying sighed.

At this point, there may be only one way, and that is to borrow the water of the Yellow River to block the pursuit of the Japanese. Chen Cheng said with a frown.

The others were taken aback, and Bai Chongxi said; ''If the Yellow River embankment is blown up, the flood will inundate countless villages, and the number of people affected will be hundreds of thousands? Although we have discussed this matter before, it is a very important matter, and I think that it should not be done unless it is absolutely necessary. ‘’

''I think now is the last resort, Brother Jiansheng, do you have a better way?'' Chen Cheng sneered.

"You 、、、、" Bai Chongxi's face suddenly turned red, although he is known as Xiao Zhuge , but the current situation facing the national army is really grim, and he has no good strategy. There is no danger to defend east of the Pinghan Railway in Henan, and if the fortifications are forcibly built for defense, then the army will definitely suffer heavy losses, and in this way, Chairman Chiang will certainly not agree, and in the long run, it is more cost-effective to preserve the vital strength of the army for a protracted war of resistance.

Chairman Jiang looked at He Yingqin and said; ''What do you think?''

He believed that he should instruct Commander Cheng Qian to make relevant preparations, and once the war situation was irreversible, he would immediately carry out the task of blowing up the embankment of the Yellow River, which was really a helpless move, although it would bring some harm to the people of Henan, but it could successfully block the pursuit of the Japanese and preserve the vitality of our army. He Yingqin said.

''Jiansheng, those who become big things are not informal, even if they are infamous through the ages, we can't control so much, I think, let's let Cheng Qian prepare." Chairman Chiang said silently.

Bai Chongxi's face was slightly unbearable, but as a staff officer of the Ministry of National Defense, he had no way to deal with it, so he had to agree, and suddenly had an idea and said; Since the Yellow River embankment must be blown up, in my opinion, we might as well make some fuss about it, so that the Japanese will bear this infamy through the ages. ‘’

''Oh?'' Chairman Jiang's eyes lit up, and he was overjoyed, and said; ''Well, I think so, you are responsible for this matter, it must be done seamlessly, and this matter must be kept strictly confidential. ‘’

''Yes, take a seat.'' ''Bai Chongxi said.

"Report to the commission, this is a telegram from the Thunder Anti-Japanese Vanguard. ''Chairman Chiang's attendant handed in a telegram.

''You go out.'' Chairman Chiang took the telegram and read it carefully. Chen Cheng and the others waited silently.

"This Liu Changfeng is still a little interesting, I was about to retreat my troops, but he asked to go north to attack the Japanese. Chairman Chiang smiled.

''Principal, doesn't Liu Changfeng have two divisions of U.S. military equipment in his hands? Maybe he can cover the safe retreat of our hundreds of thousands of troops. Chen Cheng said.

Although Liu Changfeng has two divisions of US military equipment, according to his latest report, he has only 20,000 troops at best, and more than half of the soldiers have been in the army for less than a month, and he has only received US military equipment for two months. He Yingqin said suspiciously.

"It's okay to do this, I think we can call back to agree to his request, although the country is now the time to employ people, but his origin is unknown, he has a heavy army, and it will definitely be a big trouble for us in the future, I think it is better to get rid of him by the hands of the Japanese, and besides, this is his own volition." Chen Cheng said.

Chairman Jiang smiled; ''Although what you said is reasonable, it is a bit rushed, I can tolerate the pig hair in Yan'an, let alone a mere Liu Changfeng? Well, Jiansheng, you've also seen this Liu Changfeng, what do you think? ‘’

''This is the same root, why is it too anxious to fry each other. Bai Chongxi said solemnly.

"Yes, I think this Liu Changfeng is bright and upright, but he is a man, his brother is on the wall, and he is insulted by the outside, and the Japanese have forced me to have no place to stay, I think, the relatives and enemies can't do things that are happy, so in order not to discourage his enthusiasm, let him rush to Lanfeng and assist Xue Boling to eat the 14th Division of Kenji Tuhihara, as for covering the large army, it is better to think in the long run." Chairman Chiang made the final decision, and at the critical moment of the country's survival, he finally did not move the idea of eradicating dissidents.

The reply from the Supreme Command of the Anti-Japanese War soon reached Liu Changfeng's hands, Liu Changfeng raised his head, his face was burning with fighting spirit, his blood was boiling, and the big scene he was looking forward to had finally arrived.

Walking out of the headquarters, Liu Changfeng came to the playground and gradually calmed down, he knew very well that his approach was very dangerous, although he had excellent weapons, but the training of soldiers was far from enough, and most of them were recruits, but he had to take the risk of attacking, because, if he didn't act, then, the Yellow River embankment at Huayuankou would burst, and he would never sit back and watch this tragic thing happen.

According to the order of the Supreme Command, he will rush to the Lanfeng area in the northeast of Henan; historically, because Chairman Chiang's descendants fled from the battle, resulting in the loss of the Lanfeng area, he must find a way to change history and eat the 14th Division of the Japanese Army, which was alone in the depths, so as to embolden Chairman Chiang.
