Chapter 173: Arriving in Bengbu
The frequent movement of the Japanese army alarmed the secret agents in Feiyunzhai on the periphery, and the secret agents quickly fed back the abnormal information to Liu Changfeng, who immediately convened a high-level meeting above the company level to analyze the abnormal situation. In fact, he could see at a glance that the Japanese reinforcements had arrived, and the Japanese troops in front might have to make a big move, and the reason why he wanted to convene this meeting was just to observe the behavior and judgment ability of the commanders of these troops, and whether they could stand alone, because in the future, they would face similar problems independently, and in the case that they did not have time to ask for instructions, the judgment ability of the unit commanders would directly affect the military operations of the troops.
What made Liu Changfeng feel gratified was that the vast majority of people were keenly aware of the Japanese army's intentions, and only a few people had just been promoted from the squad and platoon level to the company commander, and their vision and overall situation were slightly different and they were not aware of the Japanese army's intentions, but these things needed time to be cultivated slowly, and they were not in a hurry.
Situ Ming took a sip of red wine slowly, quietly observing everyone's reactions, he sensitively smelled the smoke of the coming war, and he believed that Liu Changfeng must have a battle plan, all he had to do now was to wait quietly, waiting for Liu Changfeng to give the task.
Sure enough, Liu Changfeng said unhurriedly; "Ladies and gentlemen, as you know, we only have food for three months, so we have to plan ahead and plan ahead, and I think now is a good time." ‘’
''Brother Liu, what do you say?'' Lu Shaohui asked.
"Lao Lu, ladies and gentlemen, we can foresee that the Japanese are about to launch an operation against our army in the north, and we are now unable to stop the actions of the Japanese army for the time being, but we can still do it while we take advantage of the fire to loot and create a little chaos in the rear of the Japanese. Liu Changfeng said with a smile.
''Yes, yes, Brother Liu is right, let's do it.'' Lu Shaohui said with a laugh.
"Wait, two commanders-in-chief, even if the Japanese are about to attack our army, I estimate that their food will have already arrived at the front line, will it be a little too late for us to act at this time?" And Bengbu is more than 100 kilometers away from Feiyun Village, even if we succeed, how can we transport this grain back?'' Chief of Staff Zhang Song said hesitantly.
Staff Officer Zhang, it's not too late, it's not too late at all, the army of the Nationalist Government is defending on the north bank of the Huai River, and the Japanese want to cross the Huai River, I'm afraid it's not so simple, there are no five or seven days, I estimate that the Japanese can't do it, the Japanese army has tens of thousands of troops, and the daily food consumption is a very huge amount, and they must transport grain from Bengbu City. Liu Changfeng said firmly.
Liu Changfeng is so confident, Zhang Song can't say anything more. None of the others objected to Liu Changfeng's plan, but looked at Liu Changfeng with eagerness, because they knew that since the combat policy had been decided, with Liu Changfeng's resolute and resolute way of acting, they would immediately order troops. Each company commander held his chest high, for fear that Liu Changfeng would not see him and give the task to others.
Liu Changfeng was very satisfied with the performance of everyone, no matter how good their ability to carry out the task was, their attitude was already gratifying. But Liu Changfeng already had a plan in his heart, his requirement is that the number of people is not too much, about 100 people are enough, but he needs more than 100 people must be capable, at present, no company can complete this task alone, so he is ready to draw a part of the soldiers in each company to form this force.
Selecting a hundred people in a team of 1,800 people, the people who were selected by Liu Changfeng were enough to be proud of.
Liu Changfeng asked each team member to wear enough cold-proof clothes, wear cold-proof hats, and do not carry all unnecessary things except for weapons, ammunition and dry food for three days, but must carry a set of Japanese military uniforms and coats, and the weapons should be the latest and best, without problems, and should be maintained before departure.
In the envious eyes of everyone, the mixed troops personally selected by Liu Changfeng set off in the bitter cold wind and goose feather snow, led by Liu Changfeng, assisted by Situ Ming and Mo Haitao, and Lu Shaohui, Zhuo Wei, Li Rong and others did not accompany them.
The sky was gloomy, the north wind howled, the snow was flying, fluttering and falling on the wilderness, the mountains and trees were covered with a thick layer of snow, as far as the eye could see, there was a silver-white world everywhere, the road was in very bad condition, the snow was very deep, the human feet stepped on, squeaked, did not reach the calf position, fortunately, everyone was wearing the long leather boots of the captured Japanese, so they were not affected too much, and everyone walked forward with a shallow foot.
Where has Situ Ming, a native of Guangdong, ever seen such heavy snow? He frowned, looked at the sky, and said something in Cantonese.
Mo Haitao is a native of Sichuan, but he has never seen such a battle, due to the power of nature, he has always been idle, he did not speak, and walked forward silently.
Liu Changfeng kept urging everyone to speed up their pace, and everyone set off in the morning, and it was not until eleven o'clock in the evening that Liu Changfeng asked everyone to stop and rest. After resting for a night, early the next morning, Liu Changfeng began to urge everyone to set off again, and finally in the afternoon, everyone rushed to the periphery of Bengbu, for the sake of safety, Liu Changfeng asked everyone to put on the coat of the Japanese army, and began to observe with a telescope.
In the telescope, the city of Bengbu is also a snowy scene, due to the lack of light and the influence of heavy snow, the line of sight is not good, and it is impossible to observe a clearer situation, Liu Changfeng can only give up, put down the telescope, and frowned.
''Head, we can't be wrong, right?'' Such bad weather conditions are not suitable for war, and the Japanese are also people, so they can't be so desperate, right? Situ Ming said hesitantly.
''You're right and you're not right, such weather is not suitable for war, but the weather was not like this for the first two days, the Japanese should have already set off, and on the front line, whether they fight or not, don't they have to eat?'' Liu Changfeng calmly analyzed.
"Yes, yes, yes, look at my pig brains, they have to eat no matter what, no matter how bad the weather is, the supply of this grain cannot be interrupted." Situ Ming suddenly said with a sudden realization, and gently patted his forehead.
''Deng Fei. Liu Changfeng shouted, he didn't have a map of this area, so he had to turn to Deng Fei of the local area for help.
''Commander-in-chief, what''s the matter?'' Deng Fei immediately walked over and said to Liu Changfeng.
''Are you familiar with this?'' Is there a road to the north in Bengbu City?'' Liu Changfeng asked.
''Yes, I don't get lost here with my eyes closed. Deng Fei puffed up his chest and said proudly. (To be continued.) )
