"Tu Fei Yuanjun is too worried, after many days of hard fighting, the 1st Division of the Chinese Army Honor is actually exhausted, how can it be possible to launch a full-scale attack on our northern Henan, this is completely impossible. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"Our intelligence officers have reported that there are no traces of a large number of Chinese troops entering the north bank of the Yellow River!"

"Aerial reconnaissance also did not reveal anything unusual......

Umezu Mijiro also played a drum in his heart, but he also felt that Kenji Dohihara was nervous, just a Chinese army general, and he was not an immortal, he could be so capable?

Even if he had just defeated the Sakai detachment, his own casualties would definitely not be small, the Sakai detachment had four thousand people, and if he wanted to destroy the Sakai detachment, he would pay at least three times the cost of casualties as the Sakai detachment!

That's an overestimate.

According to the statistics of the results of the Japanese army in several battles, in the case of a great victory of the Japanese army, the casualty ratio of the Japanese army to the Chinese army was more than 1:4.

The estimate of the 1st Division of Honor is already very high, and it is still in the case of the victory of the 1st Division of Honor.

From the point of view of the 1st Army, the 1st Division of Honor besieged the Sakai detachment and finally won the victory, and the casualties would not be less, so that the 1st Division of Honor would not be able to continue fighting.

Faced with the refusal of Umezu Mijiro and others to accept his judgment, Kenji Dohihara was anxious, racked his brains and personally wrote a statement of his own judgment on the Honor First Division and Leng Feng's personality and distributed it to Umezu Mijiro.

It's a pity that although Umezu Mijiro received this statement, he didn't read it seriously, and he had a preconceived idea that Kenji Dohihara was still too sensitive. I felt it.

Combined with the reconnaissance of intelligence officers and aviation reconnaissance, nothing abnormal was found, and he was on the battlefield in eastern Henan, and he still foresaw that all this would not come true?

A telegram of reprimand reached Kenji Dohihara.

The gist of it is, fight your own battle, don't be distracted and take care of other things, the affairs of northern Henan, someone will handle it well, you don't have to worry about it.

Kenji Dohihara was so angry that he almost vomited blood, but there was no way, so he had to call the commander of the 6th Independent Garrison in Xinxiang, Iida Ao Daisa, and Major General Kawamura Dong, who was mixed into the 4th Brigade, to remind them to take precautions.

Xinxiang, Garrison Headquarters.

"Your Excellency Commander, General Dohihara telegram."

"Put it there." Iida Oako gave a faint order, although the front line was very lively, but he was calm here, eating what he should eat and drinking.

China is really beautiful, the land is vast, much more beautiful than Japan, and there are too many good things.

Since Iida Tako came here, he has completely liked this place, the warm climate, the four seasons, the ancient civilization, the brilliant culture, no wonder Japan has been respected by China for thousands of years, too much, too much.

And these will belong to the Great Japanese Empire from now on, China will completely disappear in the long river of history, and Japan will replace China and pass on this civilization.

"Hay!"

"General Tu Feiyuan is too careful, do the Chinese have the ability to do this to my new countryside?" Iida glanced at the telegram sent by Kenji Dohihara, raised his hand, and casually stuffed it into the drawer of the desk.

He is surrounded by warning points around Xinxiang, as long as there is a slight abnormality, he will be warned, even if the Chinese want to sneak attack, before entering the territory of Xinxiang, it has already been discovered.

Therefore, he did not pay attention to Kenji Tohihara's reminder, and the Chinese did not have that ability.

However, he Iida Ao forgot that this is on Chinese soil, and the Chinese want to hide their whereabouts and do something, and they, the invaders, will not find out.

What's more, as early as a few days ago, an elite detachment entered the territory of Xinxiang and connected with the local anti-Japanese guerrillas.

After Wang Bin successfully cooperated with Liang Dong and them to complete the task, he soon received a new task from Leng Feng and made every effort to collect all the intelligence of the Japanese army in Xinxiang.

With the cooperation of the local guerrillas, Wang Bin and his men soon entered Xinxiang City in various capacities to collect information about the Sixth Garrison of the Japanese Army in Xinxiang.

This includes the number of troops in the garrison, the names of the commanders, their preferences, and everything, as well as the important institutions in the city, such as the government, banks, power plants, post offices, stations, etc.

Accurate maps were then drawn up and passed on to the intelligence department of the 1st Division of Honor through the channels of the local guerrillas.

In fact, Leng Feng had already done a lot of preparatory work through the "Silver Fox", and the intelligence personnel of the "Silver Fox" had already been stationed in Xinxiang City.

Wang Bin's action team was able to smoothly enter and collect all kinds of intelligence, and send it out in a steady stream, which would have been impossible without the preliminary preparations of the "Silver Fox".

On a rainy night, the road to Xinxiang must be passed.

A cavalry galloped in the dark night, their robes already wet.

Snow-white lights suddenly lit up on the level, and they swept head-on, and there was a sound of pulling the bolt of the gun.

"Which part?"

The Japanese soldiers on the checkpoint saw that it was their own people, and some soldiers had already put down the guns in their hands.

"Squadron Leader Yasui of the 2nd Squadron of the Cavalry Brigade of the 4th Brigade Regiment of the Independent Mixed Brigade!"

"Sir, please show me your ID!"

A Japanese soldier wearing a dark green raincoat rushed over and saluted a military salute!

"Baga!"

"Hay!"

Suddenly, there seemed to be more than a dozen black shadows on both sides of the road moving forward rapidly, and in the blind spot illuminated by the searchlights on the checkpoint, these black shadows approached the Japanese checkpoint almost silently.

"Poof!"

Kill. The killing came very suddenly, and the Japanese soldiers at the checkpoint didn't have time to react at all, so they were stabbed in the neck by a cold bayonet, and then fell down.

"Forward!"

Behind the cavalry of the "Japanese army", a team of four or five miles long quietly and quickly passed through the checkpoint, and soon disappeared in the vast night rain.

"Didi ......"

The headquarters of the New First Army has already crossed the Yellow River one step ahead, mainly to facilitate command, and the other organs of the command organ are still behind, and it is estimated that it will take another three to five days to completely come over.

Leng Feng also made a fake command headquarters to confuse the Japanese army, and he took the command vehicle and staff officers from Jian to a place called Hubu Village in Puyang County, north of the Yellow River.

"Military seat, Chief of Staff Liang called, it has arrived at Liuzhuang in the north of Xinxiang, and it is raining, which slows down the march, but it is also convenient for them to hide their traces."

"Well, got it, where did the new 36 brigade arrive?"

"They are advancing south along the road on the north bank of the Yellow River and are expected to reach Changyuan tomorrow!"

"Order Sun Zhongren, after occupying Changyuan, don't stay, quickly go straight to Chenliu Ferry, occupy and control Chenliu!" Leng Feng gave the order decisively and quickly.

"Yes!"

"Guoguang, Liang Dong's cavalry regiment plus Yang Rui's spy regiment, the two regiments add up to less than two thousand people, isn't it too risky to take Xinxiang lightly?"

"It's a bit risky, but Xinxiang is now the emptiest time, the Japanese army may reinforce Tufeiyuan at any time, if we can't capture Xinxiang, an important town in northern Henan, as quickly as possible, then the possibility of us recovering northern Henan will be greatly reduced!" Leng Feng said.

"Well, the truth is such a truth, but if the long-distance attack fails, the Japanese army will be vigilant, then it will be troublesome."

"Therefore, I am ready to take the risk and use the 39th Brigade as the main force to drag the Japanese army's Hecun detachment, and the 40th Brigade will make a detour to Jun County, occupy Dabendian, and cut off the railway line for the Japanese army to go south to reinforce Xinxiang."

"Well, although northern Henan is a plain, if you take the road, the efficiency is far less than that of the railway, not to mention that we can also ambush, unless the Japanese heavy army group goes south, otherwise, we have enough time to capture Xinxiang." Xie Jiyuan nodded.

"However, whether Zhang Zhongling alone can handle Kawamura Dong, it is a small 4,000 people, almost a regular Japanese brigade."

"The mixed independent fourth brigade is not a field army, although it is composed of retired veterans, but the weapons and equipment are slightly weaker than those of the field division, and it is difficult for the new 39th brigade to eat it in one bite, but it is still possible to block his attack and delay it for a few days." Leng Feng said, "What I'm worried about now is Liang Dong and Yang Rui, the soldiers are divided into two ways, the north and the south are attacking, as long as there is a breakthrough in one way, we will have a chance to win this battle." ”

"Yes, once the Kawamura detachment comes back, will we set the target a little smaller with their mobility ability?" Xie Jiyuan suggested euphemistically.

"Don't occupy Chenliu for the time being, surround from the right side of the Hecun detachment, and hit Hecun Dong first?" Leng Feng said.

"Yes, where is the Chenliu ferry, even if Tufeiyuan occupies Lanfeng, it will be impossible to erect a pontoon bridge over the Yellow River for a while, we occupy Chenliu, which is equivalent to cutting off the last trace of Tufeiyuan's thoughts, I'm afraid he will go crazy, in case our troops have not completed the final encirclement deployment, with his wisdom and the mobility of the 14th Division, it is still possible to jump out of the encirclement." Xie Jiyuan said.

"Well, Lao Xie, what you said makes sense, I can't eat a fat man in one bite, and I still eat one bite at a time, I'm too anxious." Leng Feng humbly accepted Xie Jiyuan's suggestion.

"Staff Officer Hu!"

"Here!"

"Did you send that order to Senior Commander Sun Zhongren just now?"

"It's being encrypted, and it hasn't been sent out yet." Counselor Hu said.

"If you don't send it, you don't need to send it, change the order, hit the river village Dong first, and then choose the opportunity to cut off the last thoughts of Tu Feiyuan." Leng Feng's solemn order.

The rain kept falling non-stop, and in the second half of the night, it became heavier and heavier, and the rain almost blurred people's vision, and the sky and the earth were dark, and at this time, no one wanted to stay outside at all.

"Regiment commander, the military department is in an emergency."

"What's the matter?" Yang Rui led the special service group to march in the rain, and under the cover of the rain curtain, he interspersed from the Japanese defense area. Entering the territory of Xinxiang, the Japanese army did not know that a GJ unit had entered their stomachs, and the purpose was still coming towards Xinxiang City.

"Chief of Staff Liang's actions are fast enough, and they have all arrived at the predetermined location." I opened my umbrella, turned on my flashlight, and after a little reading of the content of the message, the newspaper was already wet with rain.

"Tang Pingzi, Tang Pingzi ......"

"Commander, I'm here, are you looking for me?"

"Where are we now?" Yang Rui asked.

"I asked the fellow just now, just past Dongshizhuang, in front of Shi Pogu." Tang Pingzi wiped a handful of the rain on his face and gasped loudly.

"This can't work, at this speed, we won't be able to catch up before dawn, order the troops, throw away the unnecessary baggage, and we will move forward lightly!"

"Commander, this is not in the area under our control, the baggage is gone, in case we ......" Tang Pingzi was anxious.

"No whatever, carry out the order!" Yang Rui coldly ordered.

This mission is very important, and it has a bearing on whether the New 1st Army can recover northern Henan and whether it can gain a foothold in northern Henan. (To be continued.) )
