Chapter 146: Thoughtful Planning

Before the fall of Luyi, Zhecheng in the northwest, Shangqiu in the north, and Huaiyang in the southwest were all occupied by the Japanese puppet army. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 InfoOnly Luyi is the county magistrate of Wei who hangs the national flag of "blue sky and white sun full of red".

Hearing that the magistrate of Wei was an anti-Japanese magistrate and that his troops were well disciplined, the citizens returned to the city one after another, and shops began to open. Some wealthy businessmen from neighboring counties also rushed to Luyi County to do business and take refuge. For a time, Luyi became a relatively stable and prosperous place in eastern Henan.

And this short fall was too short, although there were losses, but it did not damage the foundation of Luyi.

Yang Tianfeng sat in the office of the county government, looking through the county's financial documents that he had not taken away. A typical inland agricultural county, rich in grain and cotton, quite an ideal logistics supply base. Although it was necessary to fight a brutal battle with the Japanese army, it was tried to fight for and preserve.

Now in this world, with strength, this Luyi was recovered after I paid the price to eliminate the devil, and then returned it intact, how can there be such a reason? Don't care whether Luyi belongs to Suzhou Prefecture or not, this territory is occupied by Lao Tzu.

In this regard, Yang Tianfeng had already premeditated, this time he sent troops to fight against the devils, one to protect Hao County, and the other to capture Luyi, both goals were achieved, and by taking advantage of the situation and military might, the self-defense army of Hao County was merged, and now there is only the self-defense army that has retreated from Luyi and is missing.

Judging from the current situation, Dangshan and Xiayi are in the east, and Haoxian and Luyi are in the south, forming a two-sided oppression on Shangqiu; At the same time, Luyi was recovered, and the guerrilla areas of the Nationalist Ɨ Army in Huaiyang, Taikang and other places in the west were about to be opened; In Qixian, Suixian, Minquan and other places to the west of Shangqiu, a number of anti-Japanese guerrilla forces mainly from the New Fourth Army were still active.

In the past, although there were anti-Japanese forces such as the Self-Defense Army in Luyi and Haoxian, their strength was weak and they did not pose much of a threat to the Japanese army in Shangqiu. After the occupation of the three verticals, it was full of enterprising desire.

Of course, the spread is wider, and the situation is much more complicated. Yang Tianfeng felt the need for foreign aid, and the first thing that came to his mind was the Third Army.

Didn't Sun Tongxuan often send troops east to cross the Yellow River, fight guerrillas in the Taikang and Huaiyang areas, train the troops, and raise food and wages?

The other friendly army is the Zhugou anti-Japanese armed forces of the New Fourth Army, which Yang Tianfeng had deliberately avoided before, and now it is numbered as the sixth detachment. This is not because there is any prejudice, but before Yang Tianfeng fought in the east and west and established a solid base area, the direction of the six detachments of the New Fourth Army conflicted with his strategic assumptions.

If it weren't for Yang Tianfeng suddenly entering Yongcheng from Wuyang and doing a good job, Yong, Xia, Dang and other places would be part of the base area of the Anhui and Suzhou border areas; If it weren't for Yang Tianfeng's deliberate evasion and occupation of the key points, the people would have marched eastward to launch guerrilla warfare in Suzhou and other places.

Now, the place in Suzhou Prefecture has basically been controlled by the three verticals, and Yang Tianfeng feels that it is time to talk about it.

"Commander, the rest of the detachment is here, just outside." A staff officer came in to report.

"Ask him to come in." Yang Tianfeng put down the documents and materials, and got up to greet the door.

Yu Yanong has seen the strength of the three verticals, not only in terms of weapons and equipment, combat quality, but also in people's flexible fighting style. A brigade of devils, scary as it sounds, looks scary, but it is cleverly divided and eaten bite by bite. Counting up, the devils who fight head-on each time are only a little more than one squadron.

If it weren't for the help of the three columns, Yu Yanong had thought about his strategy against the enemy, but he would have relied on the city wall of Haoxian to fight against the enemy, which would definitely not be able to resist.

But people have such a way of playing, and there is still strength behind it, so that they can be retracted and released freely. It's like luring the enemy deep and giving full play to the advantage of the inside line, which is easy to say, but it requires the defender to have the ability to control the attacker after going deeper. Otherwise, after the enemy penetrates deeply, the enemy army will rampage in the war zone, and the defenders will be unable to block and block, and they will not be able to encircle, which will be the attacker's internal advantage.

Thinking that his self-defense army was incorporated into the strong army of the Third Column, thinking that the people of Hao County would not be poisoned because of this, and thinking that he would no longer have to be suppressed and troubled by the diehards of the Gui family, Yu Yanong felt very good. He has the title of the commander-in-chief of the five routes, but he has to figure out how to deal with the guns, ammunition, and food and salary, but now he doesn't have to worry about it, and he can concentrate on leading the troops to fight.

"Commander Yu, please come in, please be seated." Yang Tianfeng had a smile on his face and a kind attitude, because of the enemy's pressure before, the way he adopted was a little rough, but now that the situation has stabilized, it is time to make friends and pretend to be a corporal of Lixian.

"Sir." Although Yu Yanong is old, since he has figured it out, he wants to correct his position, so he saluted Yang Tianfeng and said solemnly: "Yu is the leader of the four detachments and a subordinate of General Yang, so he doesn't dare to mention the word command again." ā€

Hehe, Yang Tianfeng waved his hand with a smile and said, "The matter is in a hurry, and a detachment leader is really a little condescending. Sit down first, I'll talk about my true thoughts, and see what Commander Yu thinks? ā€

The magistrate of Luyi County, Wei County, also held the post of commander of the Fourth Security Corps of the Second District of Henan Province, and Yang Tianfeng meant that the military and the government were separated, and his military post was stripped away, and the troops were merged and became part of the Third Column. By the way, Yu Yanong was also transferred out of Anhui Province and into Henan.

"I have sent a telegram to Commander-in-Chief Sun Tongxuan, asking him to clear up the matter to Commander-in-Chief Wei on his behalf." Yang Tianfeng smiled faintly and said: "County Magistrate Wei is really not good at military affairs, this time the Japanese army attacked Luyi, he could not defend the enemy outside, and second, he did not warn the people in advance, and the self-defense army under his command was also unbearable. Well, the sin of losing land can be avoided, but military power must be deprived. Come to think of it, there will be no doubts about Yang's suggestion and disposal. Therefore, I would like to ask Brother Yu to temporarily serve as the commander of the Fourth Henan Security Corps and garrison Luyi. Well, this is just a superficial name, and the Fourth Corps actually belongs to the Third Column, and is treated the same as the officers and men of the Third Column. ā€

Yu Yanong understood, but he changed his name and broke away from Anhui Province, which also reflected Yang Tianfeng's carefulness and thoughtfulness.

"Subordinates are willing to accept orders and obey." Yu Yanong paused for a moment and asked again: "I don't know how many men and horses to garrison, the Japanese army has suffered a big loss, and I am afraid that it will retaliate soon." ā€

"So, I also asked for reinforcements." Yang Tianfeng pondered for a moment and said, "The Third Army will transfer a regiment to use Luyi as a solid bridgehead in Hedong to fight guerrilla operations to the north and west. I don't hide it from Brother Yu, my worries are not in eastern Henan, but in northern Anhui. It is estimated that soon, there will be a big war in the east. (To be continued.) )
