"Division, Counselor, the latest situation, a company of the reconnaissance battalion directly under our division headquarters has exchanged fire with the Japanese army, in a village northeast of Tangquan Town, called Xiaoguanzhuang!"

"What part of the Japanese army?"

"I don't know, it's still investigating." Xue Ping (transferred to confidential staff officer) announced.

"It's very important to figure out right away whether the Japanese army came out of Chuzhou or the Japanese army came out of Quanjiao County." Leng Feng commanded.

"Yes!"

"The Japanese army gave up attacking Huaibei, obviously coming at us." Qiu Qingquan's face froze.

"Shunroku Hata is different from Matsui Ishone, he is a moderate person, he just arrived in office, he took over such a mess, if he doesn't clean us up, I'm afraid sooner or later he will have to go back to China to eat ashes." Leng Feng smiled.

"That's right, I've also heard of this Shunliu General Hatata, born in a samurai family, has a strict adherence to bushido, graduated from Lu University first, and is a classmate of the current Japanese land minister Sugiyama Moto, this person is not smiling, he doesn't talk much, but he always hits the nail on the head, his views on China belong to a relatively moderate faction, Japan sent him to be the commander of the Central China Front this time, and it is also hoped that he can restrain the fanatical radical officers in the Japanese army." Qiu Qingquan said.

"Well, this person is quite clear-headed, but now that Japan is in power is a group of militants, I am afraid it will be difficult for him to influence the decisions of the Japanese leadership." Leng Feng said.

"You're saying that Shunroku Hata won't give up his plan to advance north and south?"

"That's not necessarily, if he doesn't touch his head and break the bloodstream, of course he won't give up this plan easily, and the Japanese army in North China also needs the Japanese army in Central China to contain it. Otherwise, just relying on the Japanese army in North China would want to open up the Jinpu Road. Difficult. Leng Feng said.

"Yes. We have gathered more than 300,000 troops in the Xuzhou area, and are still increasing the number of troops, and the Japanese army is also increasing its troops. Leng Feng was in Xuzhou's position, and gently drew a circle with a red pencil.

"Then where do you think the battlefield of the decisive battle between our army and the Japanese army will be?" Qiu Qingquan asked.

"Taierzhuang!" Leng Feng did not hesitate to use the tip of a pencil in an unknown place in the northeast of Xuzhou. Said heavily, "Taierzhuang, located on the north bank of the Grand Canal, links Jinpu Road in the north, Longhai Line in the south, and Nansi Lake in the west, is the south gate of Shandong, Xuzhou to the gateway, is the last gateway to Xuzhou in the south, and it is the hub of north-south transportation since ancient times. The strategic location is very important and is a battleground for soldiers. If the Japanese army went south to Xuzhou, it must be the first target. ”

"The hero sees the same thing, but I don't know if we can participate in this battle?" Qiu Qingquan said.

"Since we are here, we naturally have to participate, in the battle of Taierzhuang, if we don't participate, who will participate?" Leng Feng said with a smile.

"Let's worry about the present, if the 13th Division can't pass this level, don't think about anything else."

"Although the 13th Division is also one of the standing divisions of the Japanese army, this is a newly formed division, and its combat effectiveness is still slightly weaker than that of other Japanese standing divisions......

"Guo Weiquan!"

"Here!"

"Send a report to Luo Yufeng and Qin Yankun of the New 38th Brigade, ordering them to immediately disengage from the Japanese Sixth Division, find an opportunity, quickly cross the river to the north, and occupy Yuxikou!" Leng Feng suddenly ordered.

"Yes!"

"Are you worried about the Japanese Sixth Division going north?"

"Now the Japanese troops in Huaibei, in addition to the 13th Division, there is also a 9th Division, this part is from Yuxikou landing, if the Japanese army wants to reinforce the 13th Division, the Pukou direction is blocked by us, then there are two remaining directions, from Wuhu to cross the river and from Zhenjiang to cross the river, two landing points, one is Yuxikou, the other is Yangzhou, Yangzhou is still in the hands of the Japanese, for a while, we can't reach the whip, but Yuxikou is not difficult to take."

"Occupy Yuxikou before the Japanese and block the way for the Japanese army to go north for reinforcements, but can it be done with the strength of the new 38th Brigade?" Qiu Qingquan was skeptical.

"The new 38th Brigade is the old foundation of my second regiment, Nanjing broke through, I gave them almost all the heavy weapons, after the reorganization, he has nearly 6,000 people in a brigade, and there are two regiments of supplementary regiments, the total strength of the total strength is 8,000, and now the third theater has added a reinforced regiment to him, and the strength has already exceeded 10,000." Leng Feng explained.

"So the new 38th Brigade is the establishment of the brigade and the size of the division?"

"Almost, although they have drawn a detachment to the north to support us, they still have at least seven or eight thousand people in their hands, and they may not be able to defeat the Japanese Sixth Division, but they can still do it to prevent the enemy from reinforcing them."

"Well, that makes sense." Qiu Qingquan nodded, "But did the summit agree to this action?" ”

"Don't forget, the new 38th Brigade is under our command, this order has not been revoked, and we can command the 38th Brigade at any time." Leng Feng smiled.

"Yes, that's a reason, haha."

"What will happen if we cut off all the rear roads of the Japanese army?" Leng Feng asked with a slight smile.

"Cut off the back road of the Japanese army?"

"Yes, it depends on whether Chief Li has the courage to do so." Leng Feng let out a long sigh of relief.

"Report, Counselor, I have figured it out, the Japanese troops who exchanged fire with our reconnaissance company came from the direction of Wuyi Town, and they should have wanted to sneak attack the left flank position of our army in Xige Town, but now they are exposed and have retreated."

"What about the Goto Brigade?"

"The latest reconnaissance news, the Goto Brigade has arrived at Qingshigang in the northwest of Tangquan Town, and it is expected that it will come into contact with our army in the afternoon."

"Where is the Niu Xianmin detachment?"

"I've passed the Jiashan Pass."

"Jiashan Pass, then you can reach Quanjiao in half a day, it seems that it is only a matter of time before you take Quanjiao County." Leng Feng swiped across the map.

"Tell Xie Jiyuan that this is our first battle in the north, and we must fight it well. Focus on a quick word. I awaited his good news. Leng Feng ordered.

Jiangpu Town. Temporary Command of the Special Service Corps.

Xie Jiyuan received the task and hurried all the way back to the regiment headquarters.

"Tuanza, have a mission?" Xie Jiyuan jumped off his horse, threw the reins to the guards, and strode inside, and staff officer Tang Pingzi greeted him.

"Yes, big task, go and ask the deputy of the Shangguan regiment to come over. I have important matters to discuss with him. Xie Jiyuan waved his hand and ordered.

"Tuanza, what's the big task?" As soon as Shangguan Zhibiao heard that there was a big task, he ran over in a hurry, and even forgot to tie the wind and discipline buckle.

"Eat the Goto Brigade and occupy the county seat of Quanjiao!" Xie Jiyuan said.

"Occupy the whole pepper?"

"That's right, it's to occupy Quanjiao County, but to occupy Quanjiao County, you must first eat the Goto United, and this time it's time for our spy group to show their skills." Xie Jiyuan said excitedly.

"Tuanza, just rely on our spy group?"

"Of course not. There is also a cavalry battalion directly under the division headquarters, as well as a northbound detachment transferred from the new 38th Brigade. Xie Jiyuan couldn't wait to spread out the map.

These are high-precision maps drawn by the Japanese. On the map drawn, there are many small places and paths that are not there, and it has to be said that the Japanese have been planning for many years in order to launch this war of aggression.

These maps are not created overnight.

"Here, the Goto Brigade has arrived at Qingshigang, and it won't be long before it arrives at Tangquan Town, which has a battalion of our supplementary regiment, and in addition, there are about 30,000 refugees over there, so Tangquan Town must not afford to lose, Shangguan, you now bring a battalion and a company of heavy machine guns and a platoon of mortars to assist this battalion in blocking the Japanese army!" Xie Jiyuan ordered, "Be quick!" ”

"Understood."

"The division headquarters allocated us ten trucks, and I think there is enough time."

"And the trucks, that's great." Shangguan Zhibiao was also worried that the troops would not be able to arrive in time, because they had just been withdrawn from Nanjing, and although the morale of the troops was high, if they had to march for another two hours, the physical fitness of the officers and men would be greatly weakened.

"You go and assemble your troops and get ready to go." Xie Jiyuan ordered, "By the way, this time Yang Rui won't go, just take the battalion with you." ”

"Yes!" Shangguan Zhibiao saluted and left.

"Why don't you let me go?"

"Yang Rui, what are you arguing about, come in and talk?" Xie Jiyuan threw down the pencil in his hand, rubbed his temples, and said to Yang Rui, who was losing his temper outside.

"Tuanzao, I'm the commander of the first battalion, why did you leave me behind for such a big task?" Yang Rui rushed in unconvinced, because of the excitement, his chest kept rising and falling, and his face became a little pale.

"Yang Rui, this is my order, don't you have to disobey it too?" Xie Jiyuan was a little angry, Yang Rui had been hit by a bullet in the lung, his injuries were not good, and he couldn't withstand the fierce battle at all, so he considered letting him leave it to his staff to recuperate from his injuries.

"Tuanzao, I'm not disobeying your military orders, but I'm the commander of a battalion, my battalion went to war, but my battalion commander stayed in the rear, is this like words?" Yang Rui lifted his position.

"I know you are the commander of the first battalion, but you are also a wounded, how can there be a wounded on the battlefield?"

"Tuanza, my injuries are fine."

"It's okay, you think you're an iron man, let me ask you, have you gone to Dean Tang to check on you?" Xie Jiyuan asked.

"Go." Yang Rui's voice suddenly lowered.

"What did Dean Tang say?"

"Dean Tang said it's okay, the injury is almost recovered, just add some nutrition." Yang Rui's words flickered.

"Correspondent!"

"Here!"

"Give me the ...... of Director Tang Jing of the field hospital"

"Tuanza, don't, don't, I'm wrong, I'm wrong, you have a lot, just let me go?" When Yang Rui heard this, he was anxious, this call came, it was not all exposed, Tang Jing had him hospitalized, if he hadn't had military affairs, he would have ordered someone to forcibly keep him.

"Battalion Commander Yang, I'm here." Tang Jing was dressed in a white coat and had two guards behind him, and directly broke into the regimental headquarters of the special service group.

"Dean Tang, why are you here?" Xie Jiyuan was also taken aback, even if his regiment was not a Longtan tiger's den, it was not just anyone who could come in.

These bastard boys, have you forgotten the military regulations of military aircraft?

"Xie Tuanzuo, don't embarrass your subordinates, I'm here on order." Tang Jing explained and said to Yang Rui, "Camp Commander Yang, let's go." ”

"That Dean Tang, did you really report to Chief Leng?" Yang Rui was embarrassed.

"What do you say?" Tang Jing said, "I have been authorized by your Leng Da Senate, from today onwards, I have the right to directly detain any officer or soldier who I think needs to be hospitalized, without asking for instructions." ”

"What?"

"Didn't you understand?" Tang Jing stretched out her hand and stroked the hair on her forehead, "Camp Commander Yang, thank you for reminding me, you are the first person I want to enforce hospitalization." ”

"Tuanzao, you have something to say, I ......" Yang Rui was dumbfounded, Xie Jiyuan was stunned and didn't know what to say.

"What did I say?"

"Yes, Dean Tang, you see this, we don't have to be hospitalized, let him stay in the regiment headquarters to recuperate, how about it, I guarantee that he will not take half a step out of the regiment headquarters, how about it?" Xie Jiyuan said busily.

"Yes, Dean Tang, there is no need to be hospitalized, I will stay at the regiment headquarters to recuperate." Yang Rui nodded like pounding garlic.

"Okay, but Camp Commander Yang has some infections in his lungs and must be treated with infusions every day, so I will send two people over to take care of them, I think this is always okay, right?"

"Yes, yes!" Xie Jiyuan wished that this would be the case, so that Yang Rui, the kid, would be much more at ease.

"Okay, I'll call you Chief Leng, this matter is specially explained by him, and Battalion Commander Yang must not be allowed to go to the front line, otherwise, I am the only one who asks." Tang Jing said.

"You're still going to call the senza?"

"Of course, how else can I make a difference?" Tang Jing said.
