Chapter 181: Losing Two Cities in a Row

-- Wuhan

"Bang" A teacup was thrown to the ground again, but because of what happened last time, the guard had a heart, and now the ones on the table for Jiang Intermediary have been replaced with steel teacups, not afraid of falling.

"What do you say? The rabbit cub ran to Lanfeng? Jiang Zhong's eyes widened and he said angrily.

Dai Li lowered his head and smiled bitterly, "Childe left overnight that night, and our people didn't notice it, so something went wrong, and we just received a return from Jiangxi and a telegram from Hu Lian to know that Childe actually went to Lanfeng." ”

"How can this be reasonable, Niang Xipi, Lao Tzu wants to break his dog's legs." Jiang Zhong waved his scepter like crazy.

Dai Li didn't dare to think about whether Jiang Intermediary scolded himself too, and asked, "Principal, what should I do?" ”

Jiang Intermediary turned around and shouted, "Ask someone to bring him back to me, what else can I do?" ”

At this time, Chen Bui hurriedly knocked on the door and came in and said, "Bench, something is wrong." ”

Jiang Zhong's anger was not smooth, and when he heard it, he frowned and said, "What's going on again?" ”

Chen Bui took the telegram and said, "The 14th Division of the Japanese Army suddenly captured Minquan County, and now it is heading north towards Lanfeng, which is exactly what Gongzi expected." ”

Jiang Zhong blinked, touched his ears and smiled, "I'm probably confused, Bray, you say it again, what is the 14th Division doing?" ”

Chen Bui didn't say any more, but handed the telegram to Jiang's intermediary.

Jiang Intermediary looked at the telegram, his eyes became bigger again, so that Dai Li next to him was full of admiration, no wonder someone can be the chairman of the committee, there is indeed something outstanding, how can these eyes be so big.

Jiang Zheng took a deep breath, and suddenly laughed, "I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, the Japanese army actually made such a stupid move, and my hundreds of thousands of troops are safe." Well. It's right to let that kid get right, but in this way, I'm afraid it's harder to get him back, and that's it, it's not a bad thing, Bray. ”

Chen Bui Li said: "The subordinates are here. ”

Jiang returned the telegram to Chen Bui and said, "Prepare the plane, I will go to Kaifeng to supervise the war." ”

Chen Bui was in good spirits and said, "Obey." ”――

Civil Rights County

Minquan County is a small town located between Guide and Lanfeng, and at this time the plaster flag of the Japanese army has been planted here.

The mechanized troops of the 14th Division occupied the small city in less than half a day, and then Kazuki Kiyoji could choose to go north to Germany. Or go south to Lan and seal it.

"Your Excellency, what do we do next?" Kenji Dohihara asked, looking at the Great Plains around him.

The soil on the plains is yellow, which is left behind by the flooding of the Yellow River, and the land is already lush and full of life in April and May.

"How long will we be able to support fuel and ammunition?" Kiyoji Kazuki asked.

"If you keep fighting at this intensity, you can support it for a week." Kenji Tsuchihara replied.

"Well, it's too short, let's carry out our original plan and attack Lanfeng. Who are the defenders of Lanfeng? Kiyoji Kazuki asked with determination.

"It is said that it is a young general named Hu Lian, who led the 24th Division, the most elite division of the former National Army, but this division has been attacked by our people, and most of them are now recruits." Kenji Tsuchihara replied: "This person also had a good performance in Taierzhuang. is a defensive commander. In addition, there is a local division guarding Maji Town on the road, but the combat effectiveness of that division is even less worth mentioning. Well, and the ferry we need also has a division of troops, and it is said that those are militia. One of our brigades can be wiped out. ”

Seiji Kazuki laughed and said, "Good at defense? I'm going to see if he can hold off my heavy artillery and order the troops. Three hours later, we will drive to Lanfeng, and it will be enough to leave a squadron here, and once there is a national army, the main force of the division will be notified immediately. ”

-- Maji Town

This is a town that has flourished along the railway, and it is guarded by the 46th Division of the Henan Local Division, and the total number of people is only four or five thousand.

And the fortifications here are more just simple fortifications such as trenches, after all, everyone thinks that the real battle is in Guide, and when they are fought here, the eight achievements are that the national army has been defeated, and it is defended in vain.

Li Liangrong, the commander of the 46th Division, was born in the first phase of Whampoa, but he left the army because he was dissatisfied with the Qing Party of Chiang's mediation, but he did not sympathize with the Red Party, but sympathized with the White Party who was unjustly killed, after all, on April 12 of that year, the number of people who died in the White Party was ten times more than that of the Red Party.

After that, Li Liangrong was persuaded back by Jiang Intermediary and participated in the encirclement and suppression several times, but he could no longer get the full trust of Jiang Mediation, and he was not the main force that he had been leading.

Li Liangrong looked at the smoke and dust in his eyes, swallowed his saliva, and left a drop of cold sweat, "Where did this devil come from?" How are there so many tanks? ”

The communication soldier next to him took off his headphones and said loudly, "Report, the headquarters is calling, the troops in front of us are the 14th Division of the Japanese Army, which has just taken Minquan County by surprise, due to their high degree of mechanization, the last to come first, faster than our defeated soldiers." ”

Li Liang scolded angrily: "Do all military commanders eat dry rice? The devils have hit the doorstep, and now they are coming to tell us. There are 20,000 or 30,000 people in a division, and Lao Tzu is so good at this point? ”

"Shizuo, the devil has attacked." A soldier shouted.

Li Liangrong hurriedly stepped forward to take a look, only to see that hundreds of tanks were divided into three rows, and they were lined up in a mighty line as wide as one kilometer and headed for Li Liangrong's defensive position.

"How do you fight this? Hurry back to headquarters. Request reinforcements!! "Li Liangrong doesn't need to calculate at all, you must know that because it is a second-line army, the entire 46th Division has only five mortars, more than a dozen light and heavy machine guns, and nothing else, so there is no hope at all.

"Yes!" The communications corps also knew that the situation was urgent and hurriedly reported back.

-- Guide to Germany

Cheng Qian, who was in Guide, almost fainted with Tang Enbo when he received the Japanese army suddenly appearing behind him, if he was surrounded, the army of five or six hundred thousand would have to explain to this small Guide, but when he saw that there was only one 14th Division, and it was also north in the direction of Lanfeng, Cheng Qian let out a long breath.

"Damn, I was scared to death, I thought the entire First Army was coming, it turned out to be just a division, and it was going north. I looked at Kiyoji Kazuki's brain caught in the door. Towne laughed, looking disapproving.

"Hmph, he wants to open the seal, see the small profit and forget the righteousness, this is really the commonality of devils." Cheng Qian chuckled.

"In this way, our troops can be withdrawn smoothly, and the strategic goal has been achieved, since the 14th Division has been sent to the door, it is not okay not to eat." Because of this defeat in Xuzhou, Tang Enbo was trying to find a credit to deal with Lao Jiang. This 14th Division is just in time to open the knife.

Cheng Qian knew it and said, "In this way, I will let the 71st Army and the 72nd Army pursue first, General Tang's troops have just withdrawn, and now they will be repaired by Dede, and then follow, and I will let the 36th, 61st, and 106th Divisions go to Lanfeng to assist in the defense, and strive to completely eat the 14th Division." ”

Although Tang Enbo wanted to steal the credit, he didn't dare to put a fart in front of Cheng Qian, after all, Cheng Qian was the person who fought the world with Huang Xing back then. In front of him, Towneburgh was a complete petty character.

At this time, an officer walked in in and saluted, "Sir Cheng, Xue Yue reports." There is an emergency military situation. ”

Cheng Qian asked strangely: "What is the emergency military situation that makes you, a dignified lieutenant general, come to work as a signal soldier?" ”

Xue Yue smiled helplessly and said, "Look at it, the old man's son doesn't know what he is crazy about, he ran to Lanfeng, and the devil's current attack direction is here." The old man was about to jump up in a hurry, no, the old man called. Let you command the German front, and I will lead people to pursue the 14th Division. ”

Cheng Qian frowned, looked at the telegram and asked, "What's going on?" Okay, how did Jianfeng go to Lanfeng? ”

Xue Yue whispered, "I heard from Wuhan, Gongzi judged a few days ago that the 14th Division would attack Lanfeng, and he just ran over, but the devil didn't attack the city or the land, why didn't he be in a hurry, what is there in this Lanfeng?" ”

Cheng Qian's mind flashed, Xue Yue didn't know some things because of his low level, and he knew that there was nothing in this Lanfeng, but Kaifeng next to him had an important plan, that is, the plan for the preservation of Zhengzhou proposed in 1935, which was formulated by him personally, and its core was to replace soldiers with water.

"Did he know about it? It shouldn't be, even Chen Guofu has only heard about this plan, well, no wonder the chairman is in a hurry, if it really comes to this point, this Jianfeng is here, is it open or not? Cheng Qian secretly thought in his heart, and said in his mouth, "Then you should lead the troops immediately, and you must eat this Japanese army." ”

- Lan Feng

Hu Lian followed Jiang Jingguo with an expression of blood mold that had been poured for eight lifetimes, and Zhang Yaruo next to him smiled coquettishly.

"I said General Hu, don't accompany us, the devil is coming soon, you should hurry up and arrange the arming." Chiang Ching-kuo said with a grenade in his hand and a fire rope in his other hand.

"Childe, just spare me, if you have any three long and two short, my Hu Lian is not enough to cut off even eight heads. What the hell are you going to do? Can you put the grenade down? Hu Lian sighed and said.

"Can't!! If I let it go, you'll knock me out and pull me away. I don't know about you yet. Jiang Jingguo shook his head and said.

"Childe, I've got a letter." Wang Sheng walked in from outside, holding a piece of paper in his hand.

Jiang Jingguo said with some fear: "You can read it." ”

Wang Sheng wiped his sweat with his sleeve and said, "Get back." ”

Chiang Ching-kuo blinked and asked, "What?" ”

Wang Sheng continued: "Just three words, get back." ”

Jiang Jingguo said angrily, "I won't go back, I really have something, and if this Lanfeng battle is not over, I will definitely not leave." ”

Wang Sheng took out the second piece of paper and said, "The commission said, if you don't come back, you will read this letter." ”

Chiang Ching-kuo turned around and asked, "What is this letter?" ”

Wang Sheng read, "Come to Kaifeng to see me." ”

Jiang Jingguo thought that the entrance of the garden happened to be in Kaifeng, and it was okay to go there, so he nodded and said, "Father's order cannot be violated, let's go to Kaifeng." ”

Hu Lian watched Jiang Jingguo's convoy and the soldiers of the first company leave, then took off his hat and said, "Damn, Brother Gongzi is finally gone, okay, the brothers are all ready, the devil will be coming soon, give me some cleverness." ”

A soldier smiled and said, "Shizao, how many devils are there this time?" ”

Hu Lian laughed and said, "I heard that there are forty or fifty thousand, but ah, there are four or five hundred thousand of us behind them, as long as we block it, we can eat one of his divisions at that time." ”

And if Li Liangrong of civil rights heard Hu Lian's words, he must come over and see the battlefield as a junior brother, and the position of the national army at this time has been shattered. With hundreds of battlefields and thousands of Japanese troops attacking, it only took an hour to break through Li Liangrong's two lines of defense in succession and come to the core position.

"Master, we can't beat it, let's withdraw quickly." An officer covered in blood stumbled in and pulled Li Liangrong and said.

"I rely on your whole family, you can't hold up the strength of a regiment for half an hour, how did you lead the troops?" Li Liangrong said angrily, and after speaking, he took the rifle next to him and shouted, "Damn, bring all the handles to Lao Tzu." ”

"Boom !!" A huge explosion sounded next to Li Liangrong's headquarters, and a large crater with a diameter of seven or eight meters appeared in front of everyone, and a short leg flew high and landed in front of Li Liangrong.

Then, as if the whole earth had been awakened, countless fire balls appeared on the core position, and as many as 50 heavy artillery pieces easily smashed Li Liangrong's core position.

"Damn, retreat, retreat, retreat to Lanfeng!!" Li Liangrong knew that nothing could be done, so he could only order a retreat. At this point, the door of Lanfeng was wide open.

"Your Excellency Commander, we have received a secret telegram that Jiang Zhong's son is now in Lanfeng City." Kenji Dohihara excitedly shouted to Kiyoji Kazuki.

"So what? Do you think you can catch it? The Nationalist Army should have already reacted, and Guide will immediately send troops to attack us, not to attack Lanfeng, to bypass Lanfeng, to take the Yellow River crossing behind Lanfeng first, and then to attack Lanfeng before it is too late to wait for our logistics line to be connected. A brigade is left here. Let's go. "Kazuki Kiyoji rejected the opinion of Kenjiro Tohi, he was not optimistic that he could capture Chiang Ching-kuo alive on the battlefield, if he killed by mistake and caused Chiang Ching-kuo to die and not surrender, he would be unlucky at that time, it was better to let Chiang Ching-kuo run away, so he was ready to knock on the mountain and shake the tiger and let Chiang Ching-kuo leave Lanfeng.

The Yellow River crossing that Xiangyue Qingji said is called Chen Liukou, and it is the 195th Division that is deployed here, and most of this division are militiamen, and the difference in combat effectiveness can be imagined.

Li Liangrong ran all the way back to Lanfeng, and happened to run into Hu Lian, who was stationed outside the city.

"Master Hu, don't defend outside the city anymore, you can't defend it." Li Liangrong said breathlessly.

Hu Lian looked at the ragged Li Liangrong and the sparse team of no more than 100 people behind him, looked at the sun, and said, "Senior Commander Li, how long have you been here?" How did it come to this. ”

Li Liangrong took the water handed by the person next to him, took a few sips and said, "The devil is too bullying, don't you see it, hundreds of tanks, and hundreds of heavy guns, you can't fight at all." Let's defend the city to the death, and give up all the positions outside. As soon as their tanks charged, we only added casualties. ”

Hu Lian asked in disbelief, "Hundreds of tanks?" Doesn't he have only one division? ”

Li Liangrong stomped his feet and scolded, "How do I know, will I lie to you, we are all from Whampoa." Come into the city, it's coming, hey, hey, call the commission to send reinforcements. ”

Hu Lian nodded and said, "Okay, let's go in together and discuss what to do." (To be continued.) )

PS: Don't feel aggrieved, there will be a good show in Shanxi soon
