Chapter 650: Plotting to seize Zou City

"This person's name is Bian Yenan, a Korean national, about thirty years old, the battalion commander of the Zou Cheng Puppet Army Security Regiment, your task is to connect with him and assist him in carrying out armed actions!"

After sleeping all morning, Wang Bin came to Leng Feng to take over the task, Leng Feng took out a black and white photo from a sealed file bag, handed it over, and said. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Korean, why did he come to Shandong?"

"In order to master the local puppet army, the Japanese army specially selected some politically competent officers of the puppet Manchurian army from the northeast to come to Shandong and enrich the local security puppet army, and Bian Yenan was one of them." Leng Feng explained.

"How did this Bian Yenan get in touch with us?"

"Six years ago, he was in Shanghai, engaged in the anti-Japanese struggle, at that time, he was not this name, the Fuxing Society was very interested in their actions, and had a lot of support in terms of weapons and intelligence, he also participated in the Hongkou Park bombing, in order to escape the pursuit of the Japanese, absconded back to North Korea, and then went to the Northeast, changed his name, and joined the Korean Pioneer Group formed by the Japanese, and later, the Japanese recruited soldiers, so they recruited him......"

"It turns out that this person's experience is so tortuous, so how did she get in touch with us?" Wang Bin asked strangely.

"The situation here is more complicated, you don't want to know too much, in short, your task is to connect with this person, and then help him master the puppet army in Zou Cheng, prepare Anyway, you only have one night, and the time is quite tight, understand?"

"Since you want to do it anyway, then this Bian Yenan didn't prepare in advance?"

"Of course, there is no big problem with his battalion, there are still a few puppet army officers swaying, the biggest problem is the head of the puppet security regiment Xiang Bengui, this person is not a hardcore traitor, but he is not a good person, and he has also been a soldier in the Third Army before, he is a guy with milk and mother, if he doesn't agree anyway, or even if he agrees, he plays tricks behind his back, what to do, you understand!"

"Master, I know, you can rest assured!"

"Rush to Zou Cheng with your brothers before dark, and I will have someone drive you, the materials, after you read them, remember them, and then send them back." Leng Feng commanded.

"This picture?"

"You keep it, this is a token of your joint, otherwise people won't believe that you are the person we sent over." Leng Feng explained.

"Yes!"

Wang Bin took the task and left quickly.

"Where is Hu Bagui's cavalry regiment?"

"In Changping Mountain, activities in the area of the Sangzhu River." Intelligence staff officer Hu Yanan said.

"Bring me the intelligence of the Japanese army in Zoucheng."

"Yes!"

After about seven or eight minutes, Hu Yanan walked in from outside with some files: "Report to the division, the intelligence of the Japanese army in Zou Cheng is here." ”

"I don't look at it, you can briefly talk about the key points, the strength, equipment and deployment of the Japanese army in Zoucheng!" Leng Feng raised his head slightly and commanded.

"Since we captured Jining and Yanzhou, Isoya Ryosuke has strengthened the defense of Zoucheng, and there is currently a Japanese army in Zoucheng (lacking a squadron), a heavy machine gun squadron, an artillery squadron, plus a cavalry squadron and some baggage troops, with a total strength of about 1,500 people."

"What about the puppet army and the police?"

"There are more than 1,000 people in the security brigade and detective team of the puppet army and the police, the Japanese army is equipped with field troops, but some of them are recruits who have just been replenished, and the 4th field hospital of the 10th Division of the Japanese army is also located in Zoucheng, and there are almost three or four hundred wounded soldiers......"

"Okay, I see, you summarize these situations and write a simple summary and hand it in."

"Yes, Master!"

Leng Feng knew that when he adopted his own plan, there would definitely be gains and losses, and if he occupied Yanzhou first, he would inevitably lose the opportunity to occupy Zoucheng.

But he had to do this, otherwise there would be no room for the first division of honor to maneuver next, and it would be much more difficult to occupy Zou Cheng first, and then attack Yanzhou.

The Japanese army strengthened the strength of Zou County, which weakened the strength of the detachment supporting Taierzhuang Segu in disguise, which was also a kind of support.

Originally, Zou Cheng was the rear of the Japanese army, and only one squadron of Japanese troops needed to be stationed to ensure safety, but now, a brigade or even more troops are required.

Moreover, they can only huddle in the city, not daring to take the initiative, and they have to ensure the safety of rail and road transportation, even if their supplies are no longer available.

Zou Cheng must be taken.

Jining, Yanzhou, and Zoucheng, it's like a three. The three support points of the angle, anyone who has studied physics knows, the three-legged support is the most stable.

And the cold front is exactly what is needed for such a stable three. Horn.

These three corners are located at important nodes of highways, railways and canals (waterways), except that the sky can't control them, as long as these three cities are in their own hands, it is basically impossible for the Japanese army to move quickly or rush to the aid of Taierzhuang.

The Japanese army occupied Shandong, which was to advance on two legs, one was the Jinpu line, and the other was Qingcheng, of course, what they wanted to occupy was the Longhai line, but now this line is still in the hands of GJ.

The Jinpu Line is a very important railway, one of the main arteries of the north and south, and it is very important, and it is self-evident why the Japanese are trying to open it up, and its strategic value is self-evident.

The cold front is going to be stuck here, like a fishbone in a person's throat, unable to enter or get out.

Now Leng Feng has abolished one of his legs, and although there is still one leg that can still move, that leg is naturally lame and short, but if it connects the broken section, it may become a complete leg, and the situation is likely to be reversed.

This is something that Leng Feng is extremely worried about.

This war is not just about what to do if I win, but what to do if I lose, how to remedy it?

"Division, Deputy Chief of Staff Liao called, he will go to Xuzhou tonight, and send the reinforcements of the four regiments to the new 38 Brigade early tomorrow morning, and ask, is he staying in the New 38 Brigade or coming to Jining?"

"After the handover, I'll leave immediately, I'm short of manpower here." Leng Feng was still half hesitant.

"Yes!"

On the 6th, the long-awaited heavy artillery regiment and artillery regiment finally arrived at the Taierzhuang battlefield, and the two heavy artillery regiments launched a fierce artillery bombardment against the Japanese army.

It was a spectacular scene.

Wing Commander Fukuei Zhenhei, who was in charge of the front rock blockade, was hit by a shell in his own command and almost buried him alive, and when he was pulled out of the rubble, half his life was gone!

The Chinese army suddenly came out with a heavy artillery regiment, which hit the Japanese soldier on his back and fell on his back, suffering heavy casualties.

"Retreat, retreat......"

Fukuei Shinpei's troops retreated three kilometers in one go, which made Kei Seya angry, and he let out a long sigh when he learned that the front-line troops were under heavy bombardment by the heavy artillery of the Chinese army.

It didn't matter if Fukuei Zhenpei retreated, the originally gradually stable front began to shake across the board again, and at this time Seya Kei had to give up some positions and comprehensively shrink the defense.

To put it simply, with this contraction, the distance between Kei Seya and his Sakamoto detachment who came to the rescue suddenly widened by four or five kilometers, and the distance was even farther.

Sakamoto Shun received a report from Seya Kai, and was half angry to death, he took the trouble to save people, and the rescued people were good, so he shrank back first.

Sakamoto Shun was angry and sent a telegram to Seishiro Itagaki, to the effect that he was about to meet with the Seya detachment, this guy retracted himself first, he didn't want to fight, there were more and more Chinese troops around, and the back road was blocked, he wanted to go home!

Seishiro Itagaki thought that Shun Sakamoto had successfully joined up with the Seya detachment, but when he received Shun Sakamoto's telegram, he was surprised and couldn't believe that this was true?

What did this guy do before?

In fact, this is not to blame Sakamoto Shun, this unspoken rule of reporting good news and not bad news was invented by us Chinese, and the Japanese are deeply influenced by Chinese culture, and they have also learned this set.

For the Japanese army, the forces of the two sides in Taierzhuang suddenly became unbalanced, the battle situation deteriorated sharply, Isoya Ryosuke was anxious, the Second Army was anxious, and the North China Front Army was also anxious, they could not sit idly by and watch the Seya detachment be annihilated by the Central GJ team, and there could be no second 16th Division or 13th Division.

Seishiro Itagaki gave Shun Sakamoto an order that he must join up with the Seya detachment, and Kei Seya received an order from Ryosuke Isoya that he must do whatever it takes to get closer to the Sakamoto detachment.

In desperation, the Seya detachment reorganized its forces to attack in the direction of Lanling Town, and Sakamoto Shunya concentrated his forces to break through the defenses of Lanling Town.

The two Japanese armies are desperately getting closer, and the intention is obvious, that is, to merge the two into one.

The life of the Sakamoto detachment was relatively better than that of the Seya detachment, although his back road was also copied, but behind it was the main force of the powerful Japanese 5th Division, which could crush the blocking Chinese army at any time.

And the Seya detachment is not good, although Isoya Ryosuke mobilized troops and horses to do everything possible to rescue, but in the face of the strong GJ, he can only slightly delay the time for the Seya detachment to be shackled around his neck.

The General Staff of the Fifth Theater of Operations was very controversial about the next step of the deployment, and some of them suggested that the Seya detachment must not be allowed to join up with the Sakamoto detachment and separate them, and that those who should be blocked should continue to be blocked, and those who should be reduced should continue to be reduced according to the original plan, and continue to reduce the encirclement.

Keep the established plan unchanged.

Tang Keqin suggested before that an opening could be made and the Sakamoto detachment could be let in, one sheep would also be released, and two sheep would also be driven, and the 5,000 people of the Sakamoto detachment would not be much, and the encirclement part of the GJ troops could be transferred to the periphery to form a larger encirclement, or troops could be mobilized from elsewhere to maintain absolute superiority in troops!

This suggestion was not high before, mainly because Lao Tang was too arrogant and looked down on these miscellaneous troops, and the local generals naturally resisted him from the heart.

And now, the strength of the GJ besieging the Seya detachment has increased greatly, two artillery regiments have been added, one of which is a heavy howitzer regiment, and the new 38 Brigade has also been replenished with a large number of soldiers, and it has almost been resurrected with full blood.

The generals of the five theaters are full of confidence, even if there is one more Sakamoto detachment, they can eat.

If one or two people suggested this, Li Delin didn't consider it at all, but most people's opinions were inclined to this, especially his old partner, Bai Jiansheng seemed to agree with this plan, and Liu Weizhang did not object.

This made Li Delin deeply embarrassed, and he was still a little hesitant about Leng Feng's judgment.

If Leng Feng's judgment is correct, then it is absolutely impossible to merge the Sakamoto detachment and the Seya detachment into one, in that case, the problem will be serious.

At least the order issued by the Military Council could not eliminate the Seya detachment at all before May 10.

Moreover, if the two Japanese armies are combined into one, it will inevitably delay the time of the battle, and once the Japanese army really has the intention of encircling Xuzhou, it will fall into the conspiracy of the Japanese army to use the Seya detachment to drag hundreds of thousands of GJ in the Xuzhou area.

What the Japanese army lacks most now is time, and if they are given time, they will be able to mobilize more troops from the country or the northeast to Xuzhou.

When the time comes, he will not be able to withdraw, and it will be difficult to fight, and he, the commander of the Fifth Theater, will be completely on wax!

The voice of the fifth war zone, Leng Feng naturally knows, whether it is Li Delin or Luo Yufeng, there is a telegram directly to him, for the deployment of the battle of Taierzhuang, Leng Feng actually did not participate too much.

However, the Seya detachment is obviously at the end of the crossbow, and if he is allowed to join forces with the Sakamoto detachment at this time, the consequences will be very serious.

Kei Seya has received support, both materially and spiritually, there will be a huge boost, so that the longer the Seya detachment will be supported.

And the Japanese army will continue to provide him with assistance through airdrops, even if the GJ Air Force does not hesitate to sacrifice the attack, it will not be able to make up for the gap in strength.

The core of the Japanese base camp Operational Order No. 84 is: Lure!

With the Seya detachment and the Sakamoto detachment as bait, hundreds of thousands of **** were attracted around it to form a huge encirclement, and then the Japanese army made another encirclement from the outside.

By the time the outer encirclement is complete, the bait will no longer matter if it is eaten.

And the most important thing in the fifth theater now is to eat the bait as quickly as possible, eat the Seya detachment into the stomach first, and then jump out on its own.

To put it simply, eat dry and wipe clean, and leave!

This is a very bold strategy, if the Japanese army is really completed, not only can they relieve the siege of the Seya detachment, but they can also eat the GJs that are constantly being transferred to the fifth theater.

Leng Feng noticed that the Wuhan side did not stop transferring troops to the Fifth Theater, but continued to mobilize troops and horses from other places to the Fifth Theater.

Shi Yousan's 69th Army, Zhou Pinshan's 75th Army......

It was probably the encirclement of more than 20,000 Japanese troops that stimulated the nerves of our chairman of the Military Commission, and he wanted to fight the Japanese army in the Xuzhou area, right?

Li Delin was under great pressure, and Lao Jiang's intentions were also very obvious, the battle of Taierzhuang must be won, and he would continue to pursue while he was victorious, and he transferred troops to the Fifth War Zone, the purpose was to win a greater battle in the future.

It would be even more perfect if the Japanese army could be driven out of Shandong and the pre-war situation could be restored.

In this way, the Japanese army in Central China became a lone army, and it may not be long before he can return to Nanjing.
