On the morning of the 17th, Leng Feng received a telegram from the Military Commission that Luxi was placed under the jurisdiction of the First Theater of Operations, and at the same time, the Luxi Corps was also under the command of the Commander's Department of the First Theater. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The commander of the Luxi Corps was officially succeeded by Sun Yinting, and the former corps commander Yu Xiaohou had other uses.

Leng Feng and the Honor 1st Division were also separated from the Fifth Theater and belonged to the 1st Theater.

The new 38th Division was also officially transferred from the Fifth Theater to the First Theater of Luxi, which was a transfer order issued before, and now although Luxi has changed its subordination, as long as Li Delin does not change his mind, the transfer order is still valid.

Since Kenji Dohihara has a conspiracy, the transfer of the new 38 yes naturally cannot be made in a big way, and it has to be done quietly and not let the Japanese know.

Luo Yufeng, who received the order, discussed with Qin Yankun, handed over the defense area to the exchanged Yunnan army, and then led the troops north from Taierzhuang.

Leng Feng asked Li Delin to transfer the new 38 is to Teng County on the bright side, and besiege the remnants of the Isogu Division in Teng County with the Sichuan army!

Although Li Delin didn't know what Leng Feng wanted to do, the current command relationship of the new 38th Division had been transferred to Leng Feng's hands, and he asked the new 38th Division to attack Teng County, which also meant to avoid the remnants of the Isogu Division from fleeing northward, and also to assist the Sichuan Army to avenge Teng County!

As for why the 20th Army Corps was not transferred, it can also be seen as Li Delin's dissatisfaction with Tang Keqin.

I don't want Tang Keqin to make meritorious service in Teng County!

At the beginning, the Sichuan Army was besieged in Teng County, and the 20th Army Corps could have broken the siege, but as a result, his vanguard was crushed by the Japanese army, and then secretly ran away.

If it weren't for the Second Army catching up and the help of the Honorary First Division, the Sichuan Army would probably be wiped out in Teng County, so the Sichuan Army had no good impression of the 20th Army Corps!

The two troops, which were already not dealing with each other, really wanted to let them cooperate in fighting Teng County, and if there would be any chaos, it would be better to let the new 38th Division, which had a good relationship with the Sichuan army, pass.

For the remnants of Ryosuke Isoya, if the new 38th Division makes new contributions, it can be regarded as a kind of compensation.

It is not easy to deceive Tufeiyuan, if the 38th Division goes directly to Luxi, this old devil may be scared back, and honestly fight Caozhou.

Although there was radio in this era, there was no better means of instant communication, so many things were only known after they happened, and even if the 1st Division of Honor was equipped with the most radio stations, it could not grasp the situation of the entire battlefield at the first time.

"Division, the advance detachment of the 38th Division has arrived in Nanyang Town!"

"Order Niu Xianmin to let the troops be stationed in Nanyang Town first, and at the same time send a reconnaissance team ashore to Jinxiang, Yutai and other places to investigate, and report immediately if any abnormalities are found!" Come together in the morning, Long Yingqin will come over to report!

"Yes!"

"Report!"

"Come in!"

"The 27th Army Teacher Telegram!" Xue Ping walked in and said with a frown.

"What's the matter?"

"The Tangshan Railway Bridge was blown up by an elite squad of the Japanese army last night, and there was almost a company of casualties on our side, and the opponent's firepower was very strong, the movement was fast, and it came and went like the wind, Deputy Commander Qiu judged that it was the Japanese special forces!" Xue Ping said.

"Didn't we receive this kind of information before, and the Japanese army sent an elite squad to infiltrate our theater of operations and wantonly sabotage, didn't we find anything abnormal?" Leng Feng's face froze slightly, this is quite a troublesome matter, knowing that the enemy wants to cause sabotage, but he doesn't know where the enemy is.

"Yes, I have done relevant investigations, but I have not found that the 27th Army has just taken over the defense of the Dangshan area, and the Japanese army should have taken advantage of this loophole!" Xue Ping analyzed.

"It seems that the Japanese already know that we have deployed heavy troops on the Longhai railway line." Leng Feng nodded.

Xue Ping nodded undeniably.

"Is the railway bridge badly damaged?" Leng Feng asked, although it was decided to abandon Xuzhou at any time, the Longhai Railway is now the lifeline of the Fifth War Zone, and once it is interrupted, it will inevitably be difficult to transfer materials and personnel ahead.

"It was discovered early, and the fierce battle lasted about 20 minutes, and a section was blown up, but the bridge pier was seriously damaged, and it was difficult to repair it in a short time, and the train would definitely not be able to go."

"That's a bit of a problem." Leng Feng's eyes were cold, and now the goal of the Japanese army was obvious, that is, they wanted to swallow the GJ troops in the Xuzhou area in one bite.

This is a third of the GJ, and it is still the elite of a hundred battles, once lost, the consequences are really unimaginable.

"Have you figured out the origin of this Japanese army?"

"It's not clear, it should have come from the south, they are very well armed, they carry automatic weapons, and there are not many clues left at the scene."

"It seems that an experienced special operations squad sent a telegram to the lone wolf in Nanjing, asking him to pay attention to the recent movements of the Japanese special forces and ask him to act carefully." Leng Feng commanded.

"Yes!"

"Division, if it is a Japanese special forces, the general troops are not their opponents at all, they should not only make a move once, there should be a move, we must protect some key facilities." Staff Officer Hu suggested.

"Deputy Jun Qiu can see that it was done by the Japanese special forces, and he will definitely be on guard, we don't need to worry about this, what I care about is that this Japanese special forces are coming for what purpose, blowing up a railway bridge can certainly cause us a lot of difficulties, but this is not fatal, so the big guys should be vigilant!" Leng Feng explained.

"Yes, Master!"

On the morning of the 17th, the 14th Division of the Japanese Army stormed Caozhou City, and the flames of war swept in.

Sun Yinting commanded two divisions and Dong Zhao's 28th division, as well as Shang Qiyu's 23rd division, concentrating four divisions, less than 30,000 people, to fight the Japanese army inside and outside Caozhou City.

The Japanese army did not have much fuel, only a dozen tanks were dispatched to charge, and the heavy artillery did not come up with much, and it is estimated that it is still behind!

The heavy artillery needed to be hauled by special trucks, and when the fuel was insufficient, they did not dare to move at full speed, and if the fuel ran out, they would not be able to go.

But even without the help of many heavy artillery, the ferocity of the Japanese firepower was not something that GJ could resist, and by the end of the morning, nearly 2,000 people had been killed or wounded.

On Leng Feng's side, Takashi Sakai sat in Juancheng and commanded 3,000 Japanese troops to attack Yuncheng.

The temporary division headquarters of the 1st Honor Division was forced to move in the direction of Chenpo.

"Hey, hey, Commander Sun, the Japanese firepower is too fierce, and one battalion of my troops will be exhausted in less than ten minutes, and if we continue to fight like this, my troops will soon finish the ......"

"Zhanshutang, you are not allowed to retreat, if you dare to take a step back, I will kill you with my own hands!"

Sun Yinting sternly ordered the commander of the 81st Division on the phone.

If you retreat, you will have to send someone to the fence, Sun Yinting is still unwilling to leave the one-third of an acre of land in Shandong, this is his own territory, it is his home, and if he leaves home, he is nothing.

"Commander, telegram from Deputy Commander Leng!"

"Give it to me." Sun Yinting took the message and glanced at it at a glance.

"Order the forward troops to retreat two kilometers and retreat to the second line of positions!" After reading the telegram, Sun Yinting calmly ordered.

"Commander, you ...... just now"

"At this time, at that time, go and give an order, damn Tu Feiyuan, sooner or later the old man will pull out all the teeth in your mouth." Sun Yinting scolded.

Leng Feng's telegram said that every inch of land must be fought for, but don't fight to the death with the Tufeiyuan Division, block the attack one by one, the main purpose is to slow down the advance of the Japanese army, it doesn't matter if the city is lost, just take it back later, as long as the people are okay, everything is easy to do!

To control the rhythm of the blockade, not to let the Japanese army master the rhythm of the attack, this is the most important thing.

If you master the rhythm of the battlefield, even if it is a defeat or retreat, it is a victory.

Because the disparity in strength is too great.

Of course, Leng Feng also taught Sun Yinting a tactic, mainly aimed at the Tufeiyuan Division, called "boxing" tactics.

Sun Yinting was a little skeptical of this tactic, but it seemed to make some sense, so he had the order to retreat above.

This kind of "boxing" tactic is actually designed for the current situation of the Tufeiyuan Division, of course, it is not impossible to use it in other places, but when it is used, the effect may not be good.

In order to protect his heavy artillery position, Kenji Dohihara added the problem of fuel, so the range of the heavy artillery was basically able to reach the GJ position.

And as soon as GJ withdraws, their heavy artillery positions will naturally have to be completely moved!

In this interval, a full-front counterattack could be launched, not seeking to recapture the previous position, but only to kill and injure the living forces of the Japanese army.

Such a charge or counterattack, as long as it can be won once, is a huge boost to the morale and morale of the army.

Also, this tactic, at most two or three times, if you have more, it won't work, Kenji Dohihara is not an idiot, he will immediately adjust his deployment, as long as the artillery position is set within a range, and you can wait for the artillery position to come up, and then advance!

In this way, this tactic is completely ineffective.

This retreat can be seen as the action of the fist to retract, and the counterattack is the action of the fist to go out, when boxing, in addition to the tactics and the angle route of the punch, this action runs through the entire boxing, so Leng Feng gave this tactic a name: "boxing" tactics.

Whether it works or not, Sun Yinting is also a decisive person, give it a try first, if it really works, at least it can relieve him of pressure for a while.

If you continue to fight hard with the Japanese army like this, the casualties are too great, this is just the beginning, the Third Army has finally improved a little, if it is crippled again, then Lao Chiang will definitely take the opportunity to reduce the troops and reduce the number, and then life will be even more difficult.

Although Sun Yinting's troops are not good in weapons and equipment, their training level is still higher than that of ordinary troops, when Lao Han was there, he did not spend much effort, Dong Zhao's 28th Division needless to say, it is also elite, only the troops of Zhanshutang were originally incorporated into Shi Yousan, and their discipline and combat effectiveness were relatively poor.

Two kilometers back?

Dong Zhao received the order, and he was a little puzzled, but he was now under the Luxi Corps, and he could only follow Sun Yinting's order.

The commander of the 23rd Division, Li Bifan, also received the same order, he was subordinate to the 20th Group Army, responsible for the defense of the south bank of the Yellow River, and the Tufeiyuan Division was also responsible for blocking the south, so he also accepted the command of Sun Yinting.

After receiving the order, he also ordered the troops to retreat.

If it weren't for the 20th Division behind him, I am afraid that the Japanese army would have collapsed as soon as they rushed like this.

Half an hour later, Sun Yinting ordered a full-front counterattack!

Dong Zhao, Li Bifan and others rushed to be stunned, what kind of joke is this Commander-in-Chief Sun, he withdrew just now, and now he is fighting back, this is not treating the war as child's play?

However, the military order is like a mountain, they still organized a counterattack, this fight, they pondered, the little devil's heavy artillery seems to be moving.

Without heavy artillery, and having always been passively beaten, this sudden change of tactics actually fought a beautiful counterattack, although its own casualties were more than the Japanese army, but the proportion of casualties was reduced.

Among them, the 1st and 2nd regiments of the new 37th Brigade achieved the greatest results, accounting for almost one-third of the Japanese casualties, and the results of the results attracted the attention of friendly troops.

The casualty ratio is almost 1 to 1, which is very rare in GJ, and the strength of the 1st Honor Division can be seen, and with the same weapons and equipment, the 1st Honor Division is not lost to the most elite infantry of the Japanese army.
