Although Liang Dong made the decision to divide the troops, and was also recognized by Wang Zhizhong and other generals of the Sichuan army, he still immediately called Leng Feng and asked for instructions.

Such a big action, he must report, and, if he can get Leng Feng's affirmative opinion, at least it can stabilize the mood of the big guy.

Not everyone agreed with the idea of dividing the troops, and some people did not say anything, but still reserved their opinions.

Liang Dong's telegram of request for instructions was personally delivered to Leng Feng by Yang Zhiyi.

This is related to the life and death of more than 3,000 people in the Liang Dong detachment and the Sichuan army breaking through, and this decision is not unimportant.

"Lao Xie, what do you think of Liang Dong's telegram requesting instructions?"

Xie Jiyuan turned over and carefully read Liang Dong's telegram asking for instructions, the Japanese army was in hot pursuit, it was indeed very troublesome, the defenders of Tengxian County who broke through carried a large number of wounded, and it was indeed very difficult to move, and there were already a few seriously wounded who died of injuries during the march.

If you don't get rid of the pursuit of the Japanese army, the next casualties will continue to appear.

In fact, the division of troops is also dangerous, once the Japanese army is not fooled, the Sichuan army, which has lost the protection of Liang Dong's detachment, is not capable of resisting the Japanese pursuing troops at all.

But in this case, the Japanese army may not think that the target of their pursuit dares to divide the troops, as long as it is done skillfully, it is not a difficult thing to lure the Japanese army away.

Liang Dong's ability is still obvious to all.

"Shizuo, you chose Liang Dong to lead this team, because you believe in his command and judgment ability, at this time he made the decision to divide the troops, it should be a correct judgment, I think under the pressure of the Japanese chasing soldiers, this is also a last resort." Xie Jiyuan said slowly.

"Well, agree with Liang Dong's request, and tell him that when he encounters this kind of thing in the future, he doesn't have to waste time on asking for instructions and reporting, just make his own decisions, and just write a battle summary afterwards and call it up." Leng Feng commanded.

"Yes!"

Leng Feng is delegating power, and it is also giving his subordinates more opportunities to exercise independently, especially a talent like Liang Dong, who he is optimistic about, he will not learn from Lao Jiang and firmly control everything in his own hands.

The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and tens of seconds can change the direction of a battle, especially in this kind of high-intensity pursuit battle, if you ask for instructions and report every major decision, it is very likely to miss the fighter or cause major consequences.

He didn't want his people to be gone forever.

At a young age, he doesn't love power, Xie Jiyuan has a higher opinion of Leng Feng, doing things and fighting with such a chief is undoubtedly the most comfortable and pleasant thing.

After receiving Leng Feng's instructions, Liang Dong immediately began to arrange the division of troops with Wang Zhizhong.

The division of troops is not simply to separate people and end the matter, we must find a suitable place and the right time, otherwise, the Japanese army will be exposed when they find out, which will not only not save everyone, but will also bury everyone.

After another two hours of marching, the Japanese forward unit almost bit it, but the broken unit was repulsed, and the distance was widened a little.

The Japanese army was also not lightly tired, their weight was heavier than that of Liang Dong and the Sichuan army, and the physical strength consumed was greater.

And Chuan Jun and Liang Dong were lightly armed from the beginning, but they were still driven like dogs, and this gap came.

In terms of endurance, there is still a big gap between the Chinese soldiers and the Japanese army, which you have to be convinced, but I believe that time will make up for everything.

Always fighting in the country, everyone is half a pound and eight taels, maybe they don't feel the gap, but when they play against the well-trained and well-equipped Japanese army, they find that they are so bad.

However, it is not impossible to recognize your own gap and catch up.

Liang Dong and the others now understand why Leng Feng must insist on setting the food standard of the Honorary First Division so high, and the physical requirements are almost harsh.

The soldiers who were laid off this time, and those who went to other units, were all good soldiers, but they were laid off, and the vast majority of them did not meet the physical fitness standards.

If they didn't have excellent physical fitness, I'm afraid it would be really difficult for Liang Dong and them to get rid of the Japanese army, and they could still drag the Japanese army for almost a whole day without stopping.

In fact, the Japanese commander who was pursuing, His Excellency Major General Seya Kei, was also tired and almost lay down, how could this Chinese army that broke through the encirclement be able to run like this, and after running for more than ten hours, it could still maintain a speed to advance.

When did these Chinese become so powerful?

Could it be that the threat of death has stimulated their potential?

"General, the division headquarters is in an emergency!"

"Nani, let me go back at this time......" Seya Kei was very annoyed, and seeing that he was about to catch up with the enemy and break them into pieces, Ryosuke Isoya actually sent a telegram asking him to go back.

The military order is difficult, not to mention that Isoya Ryosuke is a sinister madman, he doesn't want to be caught, so he gives Fujita Shaozo the task of pursuing the Sichuan army, equips him with a brigade of infantry, and orders him to destroy the escaped Chinese army.

Fujita Ichiro knew that this was his chance to make meritorious contributions, and if he could eliminate the Chinese army that broke through, then the mistakes he made last night could be written off, and even go further.

Kei Seya led his subordinates to leave.

Fujita Ichiro Shaosa commanded the Japanese army to continue to pursue the Sichuan army that broke through.

"Damn, the little devil eats spring. Medicine, why did it catch up so quickly? The commander of the Lu company who was in charge of blocking the attack turned his head and saw that a small detachment of the Japanese army was actually less than 500 meters away from them.

"Company commander, what should I do?"

"There are few little devils, **** guy!" Company Commander Lu took a look at the nearby terrain and found that there was a good ambush spot, and immediately ordered to prepare for battle.

Fart. There were gunshots from behind the stock, and Liang Dong and Wang Zhizhong both knew that the troops behind the palace had caught up with the Japanese forward, and this was not the first time, there were at least seven or eight times along the way.

"Map!" Liang Dong took the map from his guard.

"Commander-in-Chief Wang, Chief of Staff Zhao, you see, from here, over the mountain in front, you will reach the boundary of Zaozhuang, the troops who received our troops along this road, our current position is here, you see, there is a ravine here, look at the terrain should not be very deep, after a while, you will quietly enter this ravine to hide, we will cover up the traces of your entry, after dark......"

"Captain Liang, where are you going?"

"We plan to cross this mountain forest to see if we can get rid of the Japanese army, as long as we get rid of the Japanese army, we will go south to join you!" Liang Dong explained.

"Okay, then it's decided, we'll wait for you in Zaozhuang."

"The Japanese army occupies Teng County, Zaozhuang is already the frontier, you need to withdraw to the rear immediately to rest, or don't wait for us in Zaozhuang, you can go to Taierzhuang or Xuzhou, our final destination is also there."

"Okay, then we'll leave here, take care!" Wang Zhizhong grabbed Liang Dong's hand, and there was a faint trace of tears in his eyes.

"Take care!"

The team separated, and the Sichuan army left all the unnecessary belongings and handed them over to the Liang Dong detachment, which were then used to confuse the Japanese, otherwise, how could they let the cunning little devil be fooled.

The Sichuan army walked in front, and Liang Dong arranged for people to remove all the traces of the Sichuan army in the back to ensure that they would not be discovered by the Japanese army.

More than ten minutes later, the gunfire stopped.

"Team Liang, a small detachment of the Japanese army was wiped out by us, but according to their marching rules, counting our battle time, the Japanese army is no more than two kilometers away from us."

"Company Commander Lu, how are the casualties?"

"Slightly wounded two, no sacrifices, no problem to continue fighting!"

"Okay, we have divided our troops with the Sichuan army, and from now on, we can have a good time with the little devils with our hands and feet." Liang Dong still wants to fight in his bones.

If it were not for the evacuation of the Sichuan army, the combat effectiveness of the detachment would have been completely consumed in blocking the attack, and the action would have been cautious, and this task would have been the first priority.

"It's great, those who were chased by the little devils are about to become lost dogs, when have we ever been so nested!"

"That can't be said, we're on a mission."

The captured Japanese trucks had already been blown up as barricades to block the Japanese troops when they entered the mountains, and four 75 field guns were dismantled and forced to be brought with them.

In addition, there are more than 200 shells, which are not possible for cars on this mountain road, but horses and mules can, and these shells and artillery are supported by horses and mules, which also saves a lot of physical strength of officers and men.

When it came out, there were 500 people, but now it has experienced more than a dozen large and small battles, and the detachment has nearly sixty casualties, and more than half of the casualties are killed.

Compared with the Japanese army, this little casualty of Liang Dong's detachment is really nothing.

Perhaps this pursuit battle was not worth mentioning in the entire Battle of Xuzhou, hundreds of thousands of horses were killed, and such a skirmish of a few hundred people was too small.

But it was this pursuit battle that indirectly affected the battle situation of the entire Battle of Xuzhou.

Japan planned to bomb Wuhan on April 29, because it was the birthday of Emperor Hirohito of Japan, the so-called Tianchang Festival, such an impudent and arrogant provocation, which made the old Chiang in Wuhan very angry.

He personally ordered the arrangement of counterattack measures, mobilized the few air forces in his hands and prepared for a beautiful ambush in the sky of Wuhan.

This plan is apparently top secret on the Wuhan side.

Lao Jiang also learned to be obedient, and there must have been Japanese eyes in the Wuhan Provisional Nationalist Government, and the increased sense of secrecy made it extremely difficult for the Japanese to obtain information.

The Japanese army tried in every possible way to obtain information about the deployment of the Fifth Theater of Operations, but this time it was not so easy for them, which made the Japanese realize that it was no longer possible to obtain information from special channels.

They can only get relevant information directly from the battlefield.

This undoubtedly increased the difficulty of the Japanese offensive on the battlefield.

The Japanese have a better understanding of intelligence than the Chinese, and they are born with a sense of crisis, so they have never stopped collecting intelligence on their opponents or potential opponents.

It is difficult to hide the news when the large army is mobilized, and even if the news can be hidden, once it appears, it will always be captured.

Ryosuke Isoya summoned Kei Seya back, not because he wanted to trouble Kei Seya, but because he was called to Jinan for a meeting by the commander of the Second Army, Nishio Terama.

And the troops need to be manned.

He weighed it, although Takehei Nagase was brave, his brain was not as good as that of Seya Kai, and he knew that he was rampage when he fought, such a general was used to attack fortified positions, it was definitely a good knife, but if he presided over the overall situation, it would not work.

He knew what the purpose of Nishio Temple had urgently summoned him back, that is, his pincer attack plan, and called him over, obviously because the above had a dispute over this plan, and at the same time did not veto it.

His return illustrates all this, or rather convinces the naysayers.

Judging from the attitude of Nishio Temple, he seems to be optimistic about this plan, but I don't know who is against it, and what is the reason?

Summoning Seya back was also to find someone to discuss and unify opinions, so that when he went to Jinan to meet Isoya Ryosuke, he could come up with more favorable reasons to persuade those who objected.

When Seya Kai returned to Fuji County, he went to report to Ryosuke Isoya non-stop.

When Ryosuke Isoya told him about his idea, Kei Seya himself was attracted by Ryosuke Isoya's plan, which was definitely an opportunity to make a difference.

And for him, it is more advantageous, if he can lead the army to capture Taierzhuang, or even Xuzhou, then he will leave the most brilliant mark in his military career.

Seya Kai was moved, and he tried his best to help Ryosuke Isoya analyze the battle situation, and then made some deductions, and found that this attack plan was completely feasible.

The Sakamoto detachment of the 5th Division was blocked in Linyi, at least for the time being, and did not have the ability to capture Taierzhuang, but the 5th Division of Sakagaki could be used to attract and drag the Chinese troops on the Linyi side, so that he could lead the Seya detachment to make a roundabout raid, and even ignore the Chinese defenders on the Zaozhuang side and directly attack Taierzhuang!

Ryosuke Isoya didn't expect that Seya Kei's idea was even bolder than him, and he directly captured Taierzhuang, which is a bit difficult, you know, Zaolin is arranged with heavy troops of the Chinese army on the front line.

It is almost impossible to silently weave through the past, and a small force is simply not enough for the Chinese army to stuff their teeth.

However, it's not impossible!

If we can tear through the defense line of the Chinese army in one fell swoop, lightning assault, take advantage of the flat terrain in the Zaozhuang area, and the fast advantage of the Japanese army's mechanized corps, maybe it will succeed.

"Today, our aviation reconnaissance, in Xuzhou's Liguoyi, the Chinese army is coming in an endless stream, judging from their arrangement, it is still a passive defensive operation, mainly to hold the two strategic support points of Tengxian and Linyi, now Tengxian has fallen into our army, the Lunan region is already a horse and a flat river for us, if the 5th Division occupies Linyi, then they will occupy Taierzhuang faster than us, this battle, I must not give up to that guy in Banyuan." Ryosuke Isoya is eager to fight for his merits, and if he is allowed to lead the horse with Seishiro Itagaki to carry the whip, it is better to kill him.

"Is the strategy of the base camp to occupy Xuzhou, or ......," Seya asked.

"You don't have to worry about this, I will leave for Jinan immediately, and you will immediately formulate a set of plans to attack Taierzhuang, focusing on a quick word, you must occupy Taierzhuang before the Fifth Division." Ryosuke Isoya said heavily.

"Hay!" Kei Seya hurriedly stood upright.
