Chapter 565: Saving soldiers is like fighting fire
"Get out, get out, incompetent, waste ......" besieged for four days, and finally let the ragtag Chinese army that had made the Isoya division suffer so much.
Ryosuke Isoya couldn't swallow this breath, even if he occupied Fuji County, he still lost if he failed to destroy the Chinese army.
It was not the war that he lost, but the honor of the 10th Division!
"What about Kei Seya, where is he now?"
"Report to the division commander, the commander of the Seya Brigade has led his troops to pursue the fleeing Chinese army." The subordinate said.
"Pursuit, Shout, order him to be sure to destroy this Chinese army that has broken through!"
"Hay!"
On Weishan Island, it was already eleven o'clock at night.
Leng Feng sent most of the people in the command back to rest, and he didn't need so many people to accompany him when he waited for news.
Inside the War Department, a gasoline lamp is very bright.
"Master, the cooking class boiled some millet porridge and made supper for everyone, would you like to have a bowl?" Guo Weiquan walked in and saw Leng Feng sitting in front of the sand table, motionless, and stepped forward and whispered.
"Oh, okay, a bowl." Leng Feng suddenly woke up and nodded.
"It's cold at night, do you want to bring your coat?"
"No, it's not cold here, tell the cooking class, in the future, all the comrades on the night shift must prepare supper for them, and only when they have a full stomach can they have the strength to work."
"Yes."
"Division, Chief of Staff Liang telegram!" As he spoke, Long Yingqin walked in quickly from outside.
"How?"
"They have successfully broken through the encirclement, and they have also captured more than a dozen Japanese trucks, and all the wounded are in cars, which greatly increases the speed of transfer." Long Yingqin said.
"Where's Tang Xiaoying?"
"Prominently, at the last moment, however, the casualties of the Sichuan army are very large, and it is estimated that the casualties are more than seventy or eighty percent."
Leng Feng was silent, he had already been mentally prepared for this situation, the Sichuan army was originally poorly equipped, although there were a lot of troops, but in the face of the Japanese army armed to the teeth.
The gap is too obvious.
Most of the casualties of the Sichuan army were caused by bombing and shelling, and the casualties in the face-to-face battle were not too large.
"In what direction are they retreating now?"
"The telegram said that they had just crossed the Dongsha River and were rushing in the direction of Sangcun on the road, but the Japanese army had also followed, and they were less than five miles away!"
"It seems that the Japanese army will not let them go easily." Leng Feng's complexion changed, this situation was also expected, the 10th Division of the Japanese Army is the elite of the Japanese Army, with its own instinctive pride, in the final analysis, it is an instinctive and most honorable persistence!
If a Chinese defender who had been besieged for several days was allowed to break through safely and return to the rear, what would be the face of the 10th Division?
"Telegraphed to Liang Dong, we must cover the safe transfer of the Sichuan army's breakthrough troops, and we can't let this heroic army bleed anymore!" Leng Feng ordered.
"Yes!"
"Do you want to inform the Theater Commander's Department of this news and ask Chief Li to send troops to pick it up?" Guo Weiquan proposed.
"Well, send a secret telegram to Chief Li, and send him the frequency and location of the contact of the breakthrough troops." Leng Feng thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
In order to break through the safety and survival rate of the troops, Leng Feng is undoubtedly the most correct to do this, at least for the time being, Li Delin has much more resources in his hands than him.
If Li Delin is willing to send a force to meet them, it will undoubtedly increase the chances of Liang Dong and them moving in safely.
Didi ......
Xuzhou, the headquarters of the commander of the Fifth Theater of Operations, the atmosphere has always been very depressing, everyone knows what it means to lose Teng County, and now, it is only a matter of time before Teng County is lost.
Tengxian couldn't hold out for long, and not long ago, Commander Li personally ordered the 31st Division of Chifengcheng, which was pursuing the Japanese army, to retreat overnight, and this order was tantamount to abandoning Tengxian.
Sun Zhen, who was the commander of the 22nd Group Army of the Sichuan Army, almost didn't directly hand the paper to Wuhan, but fortunately, Sun Lianzhong, the commander of the Second Group Army, who felt that he was in the city, pressed it down.
Subsequently, Sun Zhen evacuated Lincheng with the group army organs and went straight to Xuzhou, apparently to ask Chief Li Xingshi for guilt.
When Li Delin got the news, he could only smile bitterly, some things were not clear in the phone call, and the three or two sentences in the telegram were not clear, and it was okay to come, so I could explain to him in person.
"Degong, haven't you slept yet?" Bai Jiansheng put on a military coat and walked into Li Delin's study.
"It's Jiansheng, I can't sleep, Tengxian is lost, and then our battle will be even more difficult." Li Delin frowned and said, although a series of plans and countermeasures have been formulated, the enemy is not a puppet, he will not be at the mercy of you, all plans can only be a reference.
It's just that with this reference or plan, it can make people feel at ease, at least they won't be in a hurry.
"Duke De is worried that the Japanese army will quickly move south?"
"No, what I'm worried about is whether the Japanese army will dare to rush forward at this time, so that our arrangement may not work."
Bai Jiansheng knows his old partner very well, and he wants to win a beautiful battle in Xuzhou and show it to Lao Jiang and the people of the whole country in Wuhan.
These so-called local miscellaneous warlords are resolutely anti-Japanese and can win battles, and they are not at all as unbearable as some people say.
Lao Chiang wanted to use the hands of the Japanese to consume their miscellaneous military strength, and he in turn wanted to use this battle to prove that the miscellaneous cards were not so easy to provoke, and that they could fight and win more battles than the so-called Central Army of his descendants.
The Battle of Teng County is enough to illustrate this point!
The hated Sichuan army didn't want anyone, but when it came to his fifth war zone, it turned into a brave and invincible heroic army, with inferior equipment, blocking the elite of 30,000 Japanese troops in such a small county as Tengxian for seven days.
Even if Teng County is lost in the end, this record can already tell the story.
"Isn't the Tang Legion still in place?"
"Well, Tang Keqin called just now, he will rush to Xuzhou tomorrow, and his 52nd Army will all arrive in the Fifth War Zone by tomorrow night at the latest." Li Delin said.
"They really came in time!" Bai Jiansheng smiled mockingly.
"Come, it's better than not coming, since you come, you have to obey the command, otherwise, you will have to suffer from him." Li Delin smiled coldly.
At the time of the life and death of the country and the nation, they should not care about personal gains and losses, and work together to resist the enemy, but some people think about their own petty profits and deliberately procrastinate and pass the buck.
"How are you going to use the Tang Legion?"
"It depends on the movements of the Japanese army." Li Delin let out a long breath, the way to use troops is to adapt to the situation, the Tang Army is now a mobile corps in Li Delin's hands that can be mobilized, and it is a good idea to fight a positional battle with the Japanese army anywhere, of course he will not be so stupid.
"At the beginning, Leng Feng suggested to me that the first part of the Tang Corps should be hidden in the Baoqinggu Mountain before the Japanese army went south to Taierzhuang, waiting for the opportunity."
"Does he want to use the Tang Army to cut off the retreat of the Japanese army going south and encircle a part of the main force of the Japanese army to annihilate it?"
"Yes, fight a big war of annihilation in the Taierzhuang area!"
"This is consistent with the goal of the Lunan battle plan we formulated before." Bai Jiansheng nodded.
"This idea is too bold, although the mountainous area of Baoqinggu is not small, but whether it can hide an army of tens of thousands of people, this is not clear, not to mention, how to prevent the Japanese army from discovering it, this is the biggest problem."
"Didn't Leng Feng say how to operate?"
"This kid just made a suggestion, and didn't say anything else, after all, although this idea is bold, it still needs many conditions to be implemented to cooperate, it's not that simple."
"Well, the idea is good, but it's impossible to say whether it can be done, once it is detected by the Japanese army, it will be tantamount to working in vain." Bai Jiansheng nodded.
"Chief Li, Chief Bai, No. 3 Emergency Call!"
"Oh?" Li Delin and Bai Jiansheng were both shocked, at this time Leng Feng suddenly called, there must be something important, otherwise, in Weishan Island, where there is no wind and no waves, what can happen at this time?
"Great!" When Li Delin saw the content of the message, he immediately smiled, as excited as a child.
"Degong, how can you be happy?"
"The defenders of Tengxian County have successfully broken through under the response and are turning eastward, but the Japanese army sent troops to chase after them, they are sleepy and tired, and there are many wounded, we need to send a force to meet them." Li Delin smiled and handed the telegram to Bai Jiansheng.
"This is really good news, you can also give an explanation to Brother Decao!" Bai Jiansheng said happily, "But in this way, the fall of Tengxian County has become a foregone conclusion." ”
"Well, the Japanese army captured Teng County, and the next step will definitely be to continue south, and the defenders will break through, which will definitely make the Japanese army feel shameless, and they will definitely retaliate." Li Delin said, "Immediately send a telegram to General Sun Lianzhong, commander-in-chief of the Second Army, asking him to be careful, the Japanese army may attack Lincheng at any time!" ”
"There is also Zaozhuang, the Japanese army is good at big detours, and Zaozhuang can't help but remind me." Bai Jiansheng hurriedly added.
"Well, send it out right away!"
"Yes!"
"Li Delin, Li Delin, you come out for me......"
"Commander-in-Chief Sun, you can't go in, you really can't go in......" There was a sound of the guards arguing with Sun Zhen outside the door, this Sun Zhen came really fast, he had grown wings, and he arrived so soon.
Li Delin smiled slightly bitterly, opened his mouth to summon the guards at the door, and explained.
"Jiansheng, you see, the Xingshi is here to ask for sin." Li Delin pointed to Sun Zhen, who broke into the courtyard angrily, and said.
"Hehe, Duke De, I still have something to do, so I won't bother." Bai Jiansheng laughed and slipped away directly.
"Slippery head!"
"Li Delin, what do you mean, why did you order the 31st Division to retreat, it looks like it is about to hit Teng County, you retreat at this time, don't you want thousands of soldiers in Teng County to give it to the Japanese?" Sun Zhen was furious, and after several hours of driving, he held back the fire in his stomach.
"Brother Decao, drink a cup of tea first and dissipate your anger!"
"I don't drink, today, if you Li Delin don't give me an explanation, I'm not done with you, I'm going to the Wuhan Military Commission to sue you!" Sun Zhenqi head, a fart. sat down and didn't pay attention to Li Delin, who was accompanying the smiling face.
"Brother Decao, you take a look at this first." Li Delin saw that it was useless to say good things, so he directly put Leng Feng's secret telegram in front of him.
"What kind of telegram, it's still so mysterious, who is No. 3......" Sun Zhen disagreed, but when he saw the content of the telegram, his eyes instantly widened, and his body stood up involuntarily.
"Li, Duke De, is this true?" Sun Zhen asked.
"What do you say, this kind of thing, can I just fabricate a message to deceive you?" Li Delin said with a smile.
"Who is this number three, how did I not know that there is such a character in the fifth war zone?" Sun Zhen asked in surprise.
"I can't say that yet, but you'll find out later." Li Deling explained.
"So mysterious?"
"Since you're here, one guest won't bother the two masters, so how about you lead the team to pick them up?" It's not that Li Delin can't send troops, it's just that it's better to let Sun Zhen lead the team over now, and see the Sichuan army breaking through earlier, I'm afraid it's what he wants.
"Okay, I'll go now!" Sun Zhen didn't say a word and came down.
"You just came back, do you want to take a break, ...... tomorrow morning"
"Saving soldiers is like fighting fire, I took the train back all the way, and I didn't suffer any crime, arrange a train for me, and I will take it back again." Sun Zhen was straightforward.
"I'll give you some more manpower, as well as weapons and ammunition, what do you want, just ask!"
"Then you're welcome."
