On June 17, the New 40th Brigade of the New First Army recaptured Anyang City in one fell swoop, and by this time, the entire northern Henan was actually in the hands of Leng Feng. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In this matter, the whole of the new army was bathed in the joy of victory.

Leng Feng also issued an order to transfer the 37th Brigade to Xinxiang.

In this way, the four main brigades of the New First Army all entered northern Henan and were transferred to a state of rest and replenishment.

Returned to Germany to recover, the Japanese attack on the Longhai Railway also stopped at Dangshan, although the two sides fought non-stop, but the Japanese offensive was finally contained.

The Japanese army needs to absorb the interests of the areas it has already occupied, and the national army also needs to adjust the deployment of the next territorial defense operations.

The wheels of war have stopped anymore.

Leng Feng also started a new round of troop adjustment, and many of Luxi's troops were unnecessary, and they needed to be withdrawn to rest and replenish.

The intersecting of theaters, the subordination of troops, and the frequent movement of troops must all be straightened out.

Leng Feng sent a telegram to Lao Chiang, requesting that the new 38th Division be temporarily subordinated to the New First Army and under his command.

He thought that Lao Jiang would disagree, but it didn't take long for Lao Jiang to call back in the name of the Military Commission, agreeing that the new 38th Division would be under the command of the New First Army.

At the same time, the 122nd Division of the Sichuan Army, which had been downsized in Yuncheng, was temporarily subordinated to the New First Army. (Some officers of the Sichuan Army returned to Sichuan to accept new recruits and train troops, and the number remained the same)

When did Lao Jiang become so generous, Leng Feng also felt incredible.

It didn't take long for Leng Feng to receive a telegram from Luo Yufeng, the new 38th Division became the 8th Army, and the 122nd Division was integrated into the 88th Army and merged with the 40th Division, and the number was also changed to the 40th Division, and the original number of the new 38th Division remained unchanged.

Luo Yufeng is the acting commander, Wang Zhizhong, the former commander of the 122nd Division, is the deputy commander, Wang Zhizhong is also the commander of the 40th Division, and Niu Xianmin is the acting commander of the new 38th Division.

For the officers and men of the original 122nd Division, Leng Feng's principle is to come and go freely, anyway, the new 38th Division is not short of supplementary soldiers now, and they are still veterans.

Huang Jie made such a big mistake, he was quickly dismissed, and then escorted to Wuhan, waiting for disposal, he commanded two divisions (later added one), two of which were local miscellaneous divisions suffered heavy losses, went back to rest and replenish, the most effective 40th division, the original tax police regiment was reorganized.

After the battle, there were less than 4,000 men left in this division, and half of them were wounded.

This division was all merged into the 122nd Division, and after being broken up and reorganized, it was reorganized into the new 40th Division, and the officers of the original 40th Division were free to choose to stay or go.

In this way, although the number of the Eighth Army was not withdrawn, it changed its owner.

Lao Jiang was waiting for him here.

Raising Luo Yufeng is just to compete with himself, play balance, and put a Sichuan army that can fight into his pocket, Lao Jiang's move is simply killing three birds with one stone.

However, Lao Jiang's wishful thinking is afraid that he is wrong, and the new 38th Division will be upgraded to an army, which will only benefit him and not harm him.

After the new 38th Division was upgraded to the 8th Army, the military headquarters was set up in Guide, and the original defense area of the 8th Army was also taken over, in addition, the 8th Army also took charge of the provisional 35th Division, which means that the 8th Army now has a total of three divisions.

Since Lao Jiang has increased Luo Yufeng's strength, and Leng Feng is also optimistic about it, this kind of good thing may not be encountered once in a few years, and it is really stupid to push it out.

A day later, also on June 18, Leng Feng presided over a meeting on the defense work of northern Henan in Xinxiang.

Yan Xunpu, chief of staff of the First Theater Commander's Department, attended the meeting as an observer, and this Yan chief of staff was the one who suggested that "the Yellow River burst its embankment", but this time, he came to familiarize himself with Leng Feng on behalf of Song Gong, and secondly, he also came to the town, and more importantly, to warn the original people not to work against Leng Feng, otherwise there would be no good fruit to eat.

After all, Cheng Songyun is also a senior in the army, he is still a good person, and he supports Leng Feng's work, and Yan Xunpu also saved him a lot of trouble when he came.

According to the ceremony, a banquet was set up to entertain them, and many topics were not discussed in depth by both parties.

But this Yan Xunpu person still looks good, quite sincere, and he didn't despise Leng Feng because he was young and a junior.

The Third Group Army, the Luxi People's Army, and the 122nd Division (40th Division) of the Sichuan Army also sent people to attend the meeting, and the Third Group Army originally planned to come over by himself, but he was too busy with military and government affairs to come over, so he sent his own chief of staff, Major General Liu Shuxiang, to attend the meeting as an observer.

Xue Boling also sent people, but only sent a colonel staff officer, Wu Xiqi was supposed to come, but he really couldn't leave, so he had to give up.

The new 38th Division was originally indistinguishable from each other, and the chief of staff Li Dong, as the representative, rushed almost non-stop for a day. The road to Xinxiang at night has arrived.

This time, the preparation time for the Northern Henan Defense Conference was not long, and it was also very urgent, mainly because Leng Feng did not plan to make it so big, and the First Theater Commander's Department said that he would send people to assist the New First Army in integrating the forces of the Northern Henan Army, and then Leng Feng simply merged the integration and defense meetings.

Originally, after the reorganization, the division of the defense areas and the vigilance tasks of the various units would not be done until after the integration, but since the headquarters of the commander of the first theater had the support and the chief of staff had been sent over to support him, it was better to settle this matter as soon as possible.

The main participants present at the meeting were military commanders at and above the regimental level of the New First Army and commanders of the anti-Japanese armed forces at all levels in northern Henan.

All anti-Japanese armed forces of this kind who participated in the meeting had to sign a declaration and voluntarily accept the reorganization of the Northern Henan Branch.

Of course, there is compensation for the adaptation.

The demands and compensation for the adaptation were posted in advance in all areas of northern Henan in the form of notices and notices, and radio propaganda was launched, of course, the time was a little rushed, and there must be some places, some people did not know the news.

It doesn't matter, Leng Feng gave you a month, one month is enough time for you to understand the adaptation and make a decision, whether you accept the adaptation within a month, or hand in the weapons, and disband the team directly after receiving compensation.

Although Leng Feng is an outsider, the reputation of "Leng Yan King" has spread from Luxi to northern Henan, and those who oppose him do not seem to have a good end.

Yubei Middle School, inside the auditorium.

In the middle of the rostrum, a portrait of Sun Yat-sen, the father of the nation, surrounded by red and blue flags, the whole venue was arranged simply, solemnly and generously.

At nine o'clock, Leng Feng was the first to enter the venue from the fast passage behind the rostrum, and behind him was Yan Xunpu, chief of staff of the First Theater Commander's Department, then Xie Jiyuan, chief of staff of the New First Army, Major General Liu Shuxiang, chief of staff of the Third Group Army, Lieutenant General Chen Li, commander of the 127th Division of the former Sichuan Army (now hired as a senior staff member of the New First Army), Major General Zhang Minghan, commander of the First Division of the Luxi People's Army, and Major General Fan Tinglan, chief of the Fifth Brigade of the Northern Henan Special Army.

Counting the moderator on the podium, there are a total of eight positions.

The meeting was presided over by Liao Sen, deputy chief of staff of the New First Army, and for today's meeting, he racked his brains to come up with an 800-word opening statement.

"Today is June 18, the 27th year of the Republic of China, please remember that on this day, we drove out the Japanese devils and recovered the ...... of northern Henan."

Liao Sen is not tall, his skin is also a little dark, a little black-faced Bao Gong, he was elected to preside over the meeting, he had concerns, thinking that his image was not very good, would he lose the face of the new army, Leng Feng disagreed, insisted on using him, and also let him take charge of military discipline.

The external image of a soldier is important, but the inner temperament is even more important, Leng Feng chose him because of his upright temperament and bright bearing.

In the opening statement of more than 300 words, Liao Sen won seven applause, of course, not all of these applause were given to him, but this is enough to show that his opening statement is very good.

"Next, I would like to invite General Leng Guoguang, commander of the New First Army and director of the Northern Henan Travel Agency, to give you a speech!"

The applause was very warm, especially Leng Feng's old subordinates, almost all of them slapped their palms red, and the northern part of Henan was also very excited, after all, Leng Feng is famous, and many people are seeing Leng Feng for the first time, if it weren't for the soldiers sitting below, I'm afraid the scene would be different.

Leng Feng had been preparing for today's speech for a few nights, so he basically got up and walked to the microphone after basically taking off the script.

Syllable!

One stood upright, saluted a military salute, and looked at everyone in the audience in a half-circle, and then put down his arms cleanly.

What to say, Leng Feng has actually been thinking about it for a long time, and some of the people below are his old subordinates, and some are about to become his subordinates.

Since it is a defense meeting, it is obviously impossible to explain specific tactics at this retreat, and it will not be much for dozens of minutes, at most it will be a general talk, and it will not touch on the fundamental things.

Although the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was fought with national strength, it was still the belief of the people at the root, and if there was no belief in victory, I am afraid that it would not be able to persevere.

Victory will certainly stimulate people's confidence, but it will also bring people blind optimism, and the result will lead to more serious consequences, whether it is in the military or among the people, some people have begun to be blindly optimistic, and even in the new army, there is a rise of this kind of thinking, which is a very dangerous signal.

Leng Feng is a descendant, and he is familiar with history, so he is naturally very sensitive to this kind of situation. sense, but also quite vigilant, history is because of a lot of mistakes that should not be made, there are so many unnecessary losses, how sad it is afterwards.

Of course, history is not good, it may be a little earlier, do you have to wait until you see the evil consequences appear, do you think of correcting it?

Leng Feng thought of the booklet that "Seventh Brother" asked people to bring him.

"On the Argument. Long War"

Not many people can get in touch with this world-renowned classic military theory work of the great man, because it has just been published, and it is quite a bit of twists and turns, and Leng Feng got a mimeographed version of the original manuscript, which can be described as a difficult to find.

Now its value has not been fully discovered, like a pearl temporarily dusty, but sooner or later it will shine brightly. (I won't talk about this, it involves some haha, if you are interested, you can find Du Niang to solve it by yourself)

Leng Feng is willing to be this pioneer.

Of course, Leng Feng said that it was a war example related to himself, and according to his own understanding, he said it in easy-to-understand words, build confidence, strengthen his will, persist in the war of resistance, and the final victory must belong to the Chinese.

Of course, there are many questions that are explained and answered in accordance with the Treatise. The views of the issues in "The Long War" all coincide, and even the same meaning. (To be continued.) )
