Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Crisis Reappears

In the next few days, the soldiers of the 99th Army waited for the moment when the army appeared. The reason why the military headquarters was set up in Liuzhuang Village is also very simple, because the Yellow River has a U-shaped here, and this piece of Liuzhuang Village happens to be in a U-shape, and the artillery is set up on the other side of the river, which is only about ten miles away from Lanfeng.

In this position, the entire Lanfeng County can be completely included in the scope of artillery attack, and it is relatively safe to place the artillery position on the other side of the river, and it is only necessary to guard against the army's aviation, and the probability of the army's sudden appearance in the artillery position is still relatively small.

In the past few days, fighter planes of the military air force have gradually begun to appear in the skies over Lanfeng County, but most of them are only reconnaissance planes, and because the Chinese army has no air defense weapons, the reconnaissance planes of the Chinese army basically fly very low, and this has brought great inconvenience to the concealment of the troops.

For the time being, the infantry is easy to say, there are many trees in this era, and any tree can hide a few people, and the poorer the place, the more trees, and the two sides of the road are full of trees.

But the problem lies in the pontoon bridge erected on the Yellow River, although the army can hide it well, but the pontoon bridge cannot be hidden, so it can only be placed there waiting to be discovered by the army. Since the pontoon bridge cannot escape the eyes of the army, it is useless for the army to hide it well, and after the military aviation discovers the pontoon bridge here, it will definitely send more bombers to blow up the pontoon bridge.

After thinking about this clearly, Su Dao no longer ordered the soldiers to hide, and once they found the reconnaissance plane of the Yue Army, they would shoot it down immediately, and hundreds of anti-aircraft guns of the two regiments wanted to shoot down a low-flying reconnaissance plane, which was really not difficult.

Fortunately, the reconnaissance planes of the Japanese army were not equipped with radios, so the reconnaissance planes could only record the things they had reconnoitred along the way on paper, and when they returned, they would report their battle results. This also gave Su Dao a good opportunity, as long as the army did not know the existence of this pontoon bridge for a day, Su Dao's chances of victory would be greater.

When the war really begins, even if the army discovers the pontoon bridge here, it will be useless, and the air bombers will be mobilized to bomb, and our anti-aircraft guns are not vegetarians, so how can you blow them up so easily? Besides, the air defense troops, who have gone through so many battles, have long mastered all kinds of skills in fighting planes, and they are becoming more and more proficient in using anti-aircraft guns.

The time has entered June, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter, somehow, today's day is much hotter than before, but for Su Dao, the future generation, this year's day is relatively cool, compared with the temperature of more than 40 degrees in the future, it is simply weak here.

The weather is only one aspect, and more importantly, just this morning, the Huaxia army began to take the initiative to attack the 14th Division of the Yue Army, which is finally the beginning of war for Su Dao. He stayed here for several days, and if the army didn't show up, wouldn't he be at a big loss?

But fortunately, the army did not disappoint him, it was still the 14th division of the Tufeiyuan Kenji who attacked Lanfeng, and the first day of the battle, the little devil seemed to be really weak, and he lost a lot of cities one after another, and the Huaxia army seemed to have a tendency to be vigorous, but in the end it was still resisted by the army.

The second day's battle had mutual gains and losses, but on the whole there was not much difference from the first day, but on the third day, the Yue army began to exert its strength, first gathered heavy troops to attack Yang Guji and the Shuangta area, and then the position of the 27th Army was broken by the Yue army, but what was even more unexpected was that Gui Yongqing suddenly led the troops to retreat to Kaifeng, Qixian and other places.

Before leaving, Gui Yongqing ordered the 88th Division to take over from the 106th Division to defend Lanfeng. After the commander of the 88th Division, Long Muhan, retreated from Gui Yongqing, on the night of June 3 (actually May 23, because the protagonist inflicted heavy losses on the 5th and 10th Divisions in Linyi and Zaozhuang, the battle dragged on for ten days, please understand). Desert the city and flee without permission. At the same time, the 102nd Division of the 8th Army, which was guarding Dangshan, was under the onslaught of the Yue Army, and the division commander Bai Huizhang also ordered to abandon the position and flee west.

On the night of the third day, Su Dao once again convened a meeting at and above the division level of the military department, the previous meeting was just to study a direction, but this meeting was an offensive plan formulated by Su Dao according to the changes in the battlefield situation in the past few days, and this plan was very different from the previous plan designated by Wu Zhongguo, so Su Dao gathered these officers at or above the division level to re-release the latest combat mission.

"Brothers, let's not talk nonsense, this battle is not as easy as we imagined before, of course, it's not that I don't have confidence in our troops to win this battle, on the contrary, I'm very sure that we can defeat the 14th Division of Kenji Dohihara in front of us, but what I'm worried about is the 16th Division located in Dangshan Nakajima Imasao, if the war starts, the vanguard of the 16th Division will arrive in Lanfeng within a few hours by train, and then we will be dragged by the army, Now that our friendly forces have retreated, there is no one to support us, and if we are dragged down by the Japanese army, our army may face a heavy loss. At the beginning of the meeting, Su Dao directly explained the seriousness of the problem.

In a face-to-face battle, Kenji Dohihara and Su Dao of the 14th and 16th Divisions of Nakajima Imago were not timid, and it was not a problem to defeat these two divisions. But the problem lies in the other reinforcements, although there are not many troops in the north, but once they successfully surround the 99th Army, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Su Dao really wanted to annihilate all the Yue Army, but now is not the time, the 99th Army has not yet fully formed its combat effectiveness, at least more than 60,000 recruits and more than 5,000 non-combatants, plus more than 20,000 officers and soldiers of the two brigades sent to guard the pontoon bridge, it can be said that the 99th Army can only use about 70,000 people at the moment, and the longer the battle is fought, the more unfavorable it will be to the 99th Army. This time the battle plan can be described as a bold plan, if it succeeds, the 99th Army will once again set a record for the Chinese army, and win the world's strongest army in one fell swoop, but once it fails, the 99th Army will face a heavy loss, and even be annihilated, so for this battle, Su Dao has to pay attention to it.

After listening to Su Dao's introduction, the three division commanders and Wu Zhongguo also seemed to realize the seriousness of the problem, and several people showed worried expressions on their faces, but the arrogance in their bones still existed, and the 99th Army might indeed encounter danger, but this did not mean that they had lost their fighting spirit.
