Chapter 533: Abducting Sun Zhongren
"Wei Quan, I said you record it." Leng Feng ordered with a grim face.
"Yes!"
"General Sun Zhen of the 22nd Group Army, was shocked to learn that the Japanese army suddenly advanced southward, Tengxian is the northern gateway of Xuzhou, and the key point is to rush, so we must be careful that the Japanese army avoids the frontal position and attacks the county seat of Tengxian in a roundabout way, and it is recommended to immediately shrink the defense, and do not tremble with the Japanese army on the periphery of Tengxian. Shake, concentrate on defending Fuji County, as long as Teng County is in the hands of our army, the Japanese army will not dare to bypass it easily. Leng Feng said slowly.
"Send it right away." Leng Feng signed the telegram.
"Yes!"
"Commander Leng, have the Japanese gone south to the Jinpu line?" Sun Zhongren asked.
"Yes, this is an unprecedented battle, a vicious battle, whether it can contain the offensive of the Japanese army, break their attempt to advance north and south, and open up the strategic layout of Jinpu Road depends on the battle below." Although Leng Feng had been prepared in his heart, he still underestimated the actions of the Japanese army.
This is when he left with his front foot, and the Japanese army began to attack with his back foot.
However, the Japanese army in Shandong would not take the honorary 1st Division into account, they should have fought when they were ready, and they probably didn't even say hello to the Japanese army in Nanjing.
"Division Commander Leng, Sun is a little confused, the battle in Xuzhou is imminent, but the honorary first division with the strongest combat effectiveness has been withdrawn to Wuhan for rest, what does this Shangfeng think?" Sun Zhongren was straight, and he said what he thought in front of Leng Feng.
"Shangfeng may have his own thoughts, General Sun, it's already noon, how about having a light meal here with me?" Leng Feng invited.
Dine?
It's okay not to mention this, but as soon as he mentioned this, Sun Zhongren felt a rumbling in his stomach, which was really hungry.
I didn't eat well or slept well along the way, and I got off the train and rushed to the barracks, who knew that when I arrived at the barracks, the barracks were empty.
When he asked, it was someone from the garrison headquarters, and he didn't ask why, so he hurriedly came over to ask for the guilt.
Who would have thought that this would be the case.
I'm afraid that people will not come back, they all said, these wounded soldiers voluntarily followed the first division of honor, and he still doesn't know the soldiers under his hands, it must be that people's minds have changed after they have chilled their hearts, and they have such a good opportunity, and they don't seize it.
He still came back a step late, he knew that he would come back early, his injuries were really not healed, and the hospital did not let him be discharged, so it was delayed for two days.
This eats other people's soft mouths, and once you eat this meal, it will be difficult to open your mouth to ask for someone again, but people are sincere, is it possible that Sun Zhongren is still afraid that he will not be able to eat a meal?
"Tiger, inform the canteen to fry two more dishes, the taste is lighter." Leng Feng commanded Cong Hu.
"Great!"
"General Sun, please, let's go to the cafeteria and talk while eating!" Leng Feng enthusiastically pulled Sun Zhongren and walked outside.
This posture, this meal, Sun Zhongren doesn't want to eat it.
It was already time to eat, and there were a lot of people gathered in the canteen, in twos and threes, to the window to get food, and sat down to eat, this is the canteen of the agency, but Sun Zhongren saw that the soldiers in line were also eating here, and their meals seemed to be exactly the same as those of the officers.
The officers and soldiers are unanimous, this honor of the first division is not simple, there are very few people in the whole of China who can do this, only the best troops can do so.
In addition, it is not without differentiation, there are also small stoves, however, small stoves are purchased with money.
"The master seat is here."
"Master Guo, I'm going to have dinner at noon today, and you can fry two refreshing dishes for me and bring them over, and measure them up." Leng Feng walked to the window of the small stove and handed over a ticket.
"Okay, I ordered by Chief Cong just now, I don't know when you will come, so I will burn it for you and send it to you." Old Master Guo stepped forward, skillfully took the money, and put it in the money box, "Return more and make up for less." ”
"Great!"
"Senior Commander Leng, do you also have to pay for this meal?" Sun Zhongren is a little strange, he has to pay for meals in the army?
"I'm having a treat today, extra small stoves, of course, I have to give money, I usually eat, I go to the standard, and I don't have to pay." Leng Feng smiled and explained, "I honor the first division, the food standard of officers and soldiers is the same, you can eat well if you want, pay for it yourself, we don't prohibit this, who doesn't have an old friend or relative, so, as long as the conditions permit, the canteen can open a small stove, and you can also make up for it." ”
"Your officers and soldiers eat the same meals?"
"Yes, it's the same in peacetime, in wartime, the food of the front-line troops is better, and the officers may be worse." Leng Feng smiled and said, "Let's go, there is a small private room in the canteen here, let's go there, and today is the first time I have enjoyed the privilege." ”
"General Sun is injured, so we won't drink alcohol today, and we will replace wine with tea."
"Thank you, Master Leng." Sun Zhongren returned with a smile, this Leng Feng is really careful in his work, and he has a sophistication that does not match his age.
The dishes came up quickly.
Five dishes and one soup, Leng Feng specially asked Cong Hu to instruct him to be lighter and not greasy.
Sun Zhongren was more and more moved.
In such a short period of time, Leng Feng can still take these into account, these dishes are suitable for a wounded person like him to eat now, and the taste is very good, which makes people appetite.
"Leng first salutes General Sun, today is not a fight and no acquaintance!"
"Master Leng is polite, it is also an honor for Sun to meet Master Leng!" Sun Zhongren stood up and said.
"What's General Sun's next move?"
Sun Zhongren was slightly stunned, he didn't have time to think about this problem, he originally came back to take over the five thousand wounded soldiers of the Tax Police Corps, and then reorganized them into an anti-smuggling corps, his position has been drawn up, the first captain of the anti-smuggling corps, with the rank of major general.
But the wounded soldier made Leng Feng cut off his beard, he had no soldiers and no generals, even if he was appointed, he was now a bare-bones commander.
Hong Kong will not go back, so we can only stay and wait for the above arrangements.
"Find a place to stay first, and then wait for the arrangement from above."
"Now that the war has started, I'm afraid the top won't be able to take care of it for a while, but with General Sun's talent, the top won't forget that there is such a great talent as you." Leng Feng said.
"That's the only way to do it." Sun Zhongren smiled bitterly.
"If General Sun doesn't dislike the small temple of the First Division of Honor, why don't you come here to consult Leng for a few days?" Leng Feng asked tentatively.
"Advisor?"
"Yes, my unit has just come down from the front line, although it is said that it has experienced the baptism of battle, but there are many problems, for the future development, I just want to get a training outline, but there are not many experienced staff officers around me, I am in charge of the important people above, but the current war is tight, I'm afraid I don't want it, I don't know what General Sun wants?"
"Hearing this, Master Leng wants to recruit me to join the First Division of Honor?" Of course, Sun Zhongren understood Leng Feng's intentions, but he didn't expect Leng Feng to be so direct.
"If General Sun joins the First Division of Honor, I am willing to give up the position of division commander to General Sun!" Leng Feng did not hesitate at all, as long as Sun Zhongren won it, what was there to be reluctant to take the position of division commander.
"The division is ......," Guo Weiquan, who accompanied the guests, was surprised.
Sun Zhongren put down the teacup, his eyes were like electricity, and he stared at Leng Feng: "Senior Commander Leng, is this true?" ”
"Seriously."
The two looked at each other for about thirty seconds before Sun Zhongren sighed and said: "Sun can feel the sincerity of Master Leng, but the First Division of Honor was established by Master Leng. ”
"If you are not convinced, you can leave, I will not be reluctant to do it!"
"Senior Commander Leng, I understand your kindness, even if you agree to give me the position of division commander, the above will not agree." Sun Zhongren smiled bitterly.
He is not from Whampoa, and he is labeled as Song Ziwen, how difficult it is to take charge of the First Division, and he is still a brave force like the First Division of Honor.
"As long as General Sun agrees, I will go to the chairman of the committee and talk to him."
"Didn't Senior Commander Leng want to find a consultant, if Shangfeng didn't give someone Sun an errand, I would come to give Senior Commander Leng a bowl of rice to eat, how about it?" Sun Zhongren smiled faintly.
"Is that all there is to it?"
"That's all there is to it."
"Okay, it's up to General Sun, and when I go to my honorary first division, I can't treat General Sun badly, your treatment is the same as mine, how about it?" Leng Feng said.
"So, thank you Master Leng." Sun Zhongren thanked him, he really wanted to find an errand as soon as possible, otherwise how would he support himself and a large family.
"Eat vegetables, eat vegetables ......"
Leng Feng also knew that this meal had to be eaten bite by bite, but he couldn't be too anxious and scare people away, and now that Sun Zhongren had agreed to serve as a consultant, this was a good start.
As for now, the above may arrange a position for him in Song Ziwen's face, but it must be a fictitious title with no real power, for a soldier who is eager to go to the battlefield, he may not be willing to be a cold bench in the rear.
When the time comes, as long as he is willing to come, people will not be able to run.
Sun Zhongren also had some friends in Wuhan, but he didn't know where to find them in a hurry, so he accepted Leng Feng's arrangement, first found a hotel to live in, and then went to the Ministry of Finance to report to see what arrangements would be made for him.
Also, he also has to report the situation here to Song Ziwen, who is far away in the United States, and wait for further disposal.
It all takes time.
Leng Feng also sent him a car.
When Sun Zhongren came out of the garrison headquarters, he felt for a moment whether he was mistaken, how could he become the military adviser of the honorary first division in a daze?
Although there are still prerequisites for this, it seems to have a feeling of being on a thief ship.
"Sir, we're here to ask for someone, but now why are we putting ourselves in." Sun Zhongren's adjutant woke up very incomprehensibly, this thing is too weird today, how can the self-patriarch be confused, inside, there are so many outsiders, he is not good at reminding, he came out, these words are held in his stomach, and he is not vomiting as soon as possible.
"This Leng Feng is powerful, young, so experienced in grasping people's hearts, as soon as he entered the door, he gave me an excellent impression, bright and fair, in front of me, he doesn't shy away from secrets at all, let you completely follow his words, and he is very careful, which makes people can't help but feel good." Sun Zhongren closed his eyes and sighed long.
"Sir, what should we do now, do you want people anymore?"
"Of course people want it, but the three of us are afraid that we can't do anything, Leng Feng dares to do this, I'm afraid he has also got the acquiescence from above, Minister Song is a bamboo basket this time." Sun Zhongren said.
Wake up and be stunned, isn't this a trip back in vain?
"Let's go to the Ministry of Finance first, we have to report this matter upwards and wait for orders." Sun Zhongren commanded.
Where Sun Zhongren wanted to go and what to do, Leng Feng couldn't care about it, what he was most concerned about now was the battle situation in Teng County, and the telegraph contact with the Fifth War Zone had become dense.
Basically, every half hour, there would be a report on the latest war situation, and he got the latest news three points faster than Lao Jiang.
The Japanese Seya detachment suddenly moved south, and the Wuhan Military Committee was shaken, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not believe it, because the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs was still negotiating with the Wuhan side through secret channels.
The Chinese side seized a Japanese prince, and many Japanese prisoners, these were all bargaining chips, although it was judged that the Xuzhou side would fight, but I didn't expect it to be so fast.
Fortunately, the Fifth War Zone had long been prepared to fight, but even so, it was still taken by surprise and suffered a lot of losses.
In addition, the Japanese army in Zhucheng also moved south.
The Fifth Theater of Operations faced a two-front operation.
Nanjing, Central China Front Headquarters.
The Isoya Division went south to Teng County, and the news reached Nanjing as soon as possible, and dozens of Japanese generals gathered in the commander of the front army and asked to meet the commander General Shunroku Hata for only one purpose, to ask for battle!
Shunroku Hata himself was very annoyed, and said that if the north and the south would fight together, even if your second army was the main attacker, you would have to ventilate yourself before this attack.
This silent and sudden attack, doesn't this clearly want to steal the credit?
Toshiroku Hata was very unhappy, and sent several telegrams of questioning in a row, which were sent to General Terauchi Toshiichi, commander of the North China Front, Nishio Terarizo, commander of the Second Army, and Ryosuke Isotani, commander of the 10th Division, and of course, telegrams sent to the base camp to complain.
Terauchi Shouichi said that he didn't know about it, and immediately sent someone to investigate, and Nishioji made a call back, even more insisting, there was no such thing, as for the commander of the 10th Division, Ryosuke Isoya, didn't even call back, and I guess I don't know what he thought.
The Tokyo base camp received a telegram from Shunroku Hata that the quarrel over whether to draw a stop line for the Japanese army in North China had not yet been resolved, and now it was okay, there was no need, and the officers and soldiers on the front line had already chosen for them.
Anyway, this is not the first time, and the old men of the military department have long been accustomed to this pattern of behavior of committing crimes.
Since they are all fighting, let's fight and talk about it, and if we win, we will not be held accountable, and if we lose, we will definitely not be able to escape.
It's not that Ryosuke Isoya didn't receive a telegram from Shunroku Hatata, but that he had come to the front line of the battle with the attacking troops, and Fuji County was the northwest gateway of Xuzhou, and if he took Fuji County, it would be a horse Pingchuan, so he personally went to command and supervise the battle of besieging Fuji County.
