"Battalion Commander Cao, contemptible Huang Liang, added as the operational staff officer of the 150th Regiment, let me tell you that our regiment is about to retreat. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info "Staff Officer Huang came in and gave Cao Xingyang a military salute.

"You're going to evacuate too?"

"What's the matter, Battalion Commander Cao, you also received the order to evacuate?" Staff Officer Huang showed a look of surprise.

"Lao Cao, it seems that this shouldn't be what you mean?" Yang Rui said to Cao Xingyang at this time.

Cao Xingyang gradually calmed down at this moment, he is a key officer trained in the new 38 Brigade, although he is only a battalion commander, but his battalion commander is much more powerful than the average regiment commander.

The reconnaissance battalion directly under the brigade is the sharp knife of the brigade headquarters, and it is necessary to put a reliable and capable person to make people feel at ease.

"Staff Officer Huang, when will you withdraw from your position?"

"The order we received was that after dark, the camera would evacuate in the direction of Qiuhu Lake north of Lanling Town, and asked that the Japanese army should not be alarmed and evacuated secretly!" Huang Liang explained.

Cao Xingyang and Yang Rui glanced at each other, the orders they received from the brigade headquarters were also similar, and the retreat directions of the two teams were just different.

But this retreat clearly has other purposes, just such a simple evacuation, it seems too weird, how will the Japanese army react?

"Staff Officer Huang, evacuate at this time, didn't it explain why?"

"Shangfeng has never only conveyed military orders, and never explained anything to us." Huang Liang shook his head.

"Staff Officer Huang, you can go!"

"Farewell!" Huang Liang then left Cao Xingyang's headquarters.

"Lao Yang, do you want to send a telegram to the brigade headquarters to ask, just evacuate like this, what is it that we have been fighting for so many days and so many brothers have died?" Cao Xingyang asked Yang Rui.

"Maybe the upper peak has the upper peak to consider!

"I want to take the Sakamoto detachment and the Seya detachment to wrap up and swallow them together!" Guo Xing, who was silent, suddenly spoke.

"This is possible, however, the combat effectiveness of this Sakamoto detachment is not lost to the previous Seya detachment, and the Sakamoto detachment has not lost its spirit, and Sakagaki on the Linyi side personally led the Kunisaki detachment to attack, and the two generals Zhang and Pang supported it very hard, once the front was broken through, the consequences would be unimaginable."

"I'm afraid that Shangfeng is still very optimistic about holding Linyi, at least, at present, it seems that the danger has not yet appeared."

"The four of us, the minority obeys the majority, ask or not ask, how do we vote?" Cao Xingyang thought of a stupid way, but it was also the most effective way.

"I agree!"

"I agree!"

"Naturally, I don't have a problem!"

The other three agreed, and it was unanimously approved.

"Everyone write the words 'ask' and 'no' in the palm of your hand, if the three votes are 'ask', let's send a message to ask the brigade headquarters, if it's 'no', we don't ask anything, just carry out the order, how about it?" Cao Xingyang said.

"Good!"

The four of them picked up their pens and wrote a word in the palm of their left hand.

Spread out the palm, among the four people, only Guo Xing wrote a "no" in the palm of his hand, and the other three all wrote a "ask" word.

Obviously, if this problem is not clarified, everyone is still a little unwilling to withdraw like this.

Guo Xing didn't want to "ask" and had his own ideas, he worked in the organs of the Fifth War Zone, and the relationship between superiors and subordinates in the army was very strict.

Since this is an order issued by the upper peak, then there must be his reason, and it is necessary to follow it, and it is not good to ask the east and the west.

Although Cao Xingyang and the others also understand this, the atmosphere of the Honorary First Division is different from that of the organs, and the officers of the Honorary First Division all come up by virtue of their ability, and the officers and men support them.

When Luo Yufeng came back from the meeting, in addition to reporting to Leng Feng, the first thing he did was to order the brigade headquarters to move towards Sihu Town.

After settling down in Sihe Town, he sent a telegram to Cao Xingyang ordering the retreat, anyway, the retreat operation could not be carried out in broad daylight, so it would not be discovered by the Japanese army at night, and it would be safer.

"Lao Qin, have the troops all arrived at their positions?"

"Almost, the first regiment has been deployed in the north of Hongshan Town, the second regiment is in Chahe Town, the third regiment is stationed in Nanqiao, the area of Lufang, in the area of the left flank of the Japanese army, the independent regiment is still in Fenghuangqiao, as for the engineer regiment and the automobile battalion, with the brigade headquarters, they have been stationed in Sihu Town." Qin Yankun was fetching water to wash his face by a well in the courtyard.

"What do you think our cold master is thinking now?"

"What he thinks, how do I know." Qin Yankun raised his head and said with a wry smile.

"The main force of our brigade has moved eastward, and this Commander Li has also transferred our armored brigade back to rest, why do I think there is something wrong here?" Luo Yufeng said.

"The loss of the armored brigade is not small, and it should be transferred down to rest, is it possible that you really want to fight out our only will armored force, and when the time comes, it will be up to you to explain to the division!" Qin Yankun said.

"I didn't mean that, I mean, this time the theater accepted Tang Keqin's suggestion to change the original plan to encircle and annihilate the Segu detachment, Chief Li originally disagreed, but now he agrees, don't you think there is something wrong with this?"

"Brigade, this arm is not too big. Legs, haven't you seen that Tang Keqin has obtained Shang Fang's sword! Qin Yankun said with a smile.

"You mean, Chairman Chiang......"

"Brigade, I don't understand, you went to a meeting today, didn't you notice it at all?" Qin Yankun said, "This old soup is here in person, I'm not sure, he dares to go against Chief Li?" ”

"That's right, my brain is too slow to react to this kind of thing!" Luo Yufeng slapped his head.

"This time, our division is in trouble, Tang Keqin is so happy, this time he is watching Chief Li command the battle of Taierzhuang, a big victory can be expected, he is unbalanced in his heart, he is here on behalf of the Central Army, his eyes are long on the forehead, he can let the local miscellaneous players take such a big battle into their arms, in the end, he was stimulated this time, so he put forward such a suggestion, however, I think, there is little hope for success, we must take precautions." Qin Yankun said seriously.

"Yes, this Segu detachment is trapped in Zaozhuang and Yicheng, there are at least tens of thousands of troops, and the combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated, if the Sakamoto detachment joins with it, the strength will inevitably increase greatly, their current strategy is to stick to and wait for reinforcements, they have not given up their ambition to occupy Xuzhou!"

"Of course, do you think little Japan will easily admit defeat?" Qin Yankun said, "If they admit defeat, I'm afraid that their own domestic accountability will not be passed, so next, the Japanese army will increase its troops, and it will eventually evolve into a protracted standoff. The Great War of a long time. ”

"Yes, this war is an unprecedented catastrophe for us, hey......"

"Brigade, Cao Xingyang is in a hurry!"

"Oh, it seems that he has received the retreat order from the brigade headquarters, this kid must be scolding his mother!" Luo Yufeng smiled and took the message from Adjutant Hao's hand.

"There is Tu Man, and the first person to scold his mother will not be able to take his turn!" Qin Yankun wrung out the towel and hung it on a bamboo pole in the yard.

Cao Xingyang and their strength with a reinforced battalion blocked the 5,000 elite of the Japanese army in Lanling Town, for four days and three nights, the Sakamoto detachment suffered heavy casualties, but it failed to cross Lanling Town one step, and now they want to abandon the position, they are a little puzzled, and it is understandable."

"How do you want to reply to the telegram?"

"Someone wants to become a fat man in one bite, and we just fulfill him." Luo Yufeng said with a hint of resentment.

"Lao Luo, I'm angry." Qin Yankun said, "Adjutant Hao, call back to Battalion Commander Cao, just say that this is Shangfeng's order, and it is related to the next action plan, and order him to properly arrange the retreat, and bring the brothers back safely, and I and the brigade seat will give them a drink to celebrate their achievements in Sihu Town!" ”

"Yes!"

"Brigade, division, telegraph."

"Bring it quickly." Luo Yufeng rushed over in three steps and two steps, snatched the message directly from the confidential staff officer, and read it quickly.

"What did the master say?"

"Shiza told us to be prepared, if the two detachments of Seya and Sakamoto merge, if there is not much progress in GJ within three days, we will have to deal with the worst-case scenario!"

"What's the worst-case scenario?"

"The Japanese army will cross the Yellow River and go south to cut off the Longhai railway line, and encircle us all in the Xuzhou area." Luo Yufeng's face was very ugly.

"How is this possible, how can the Japanese army have so many troops?" Qin Yankun exclaimed.

"Japan has a complete reserve military service system, which allows them to quickly recruit retired soldiers, as long as they want, they can organize a million troops at any time, and it will not take too long, and they can be quickly armed, and a little training is an elite army, and we, even if we can recruit people, where are the weapons and equipment, even if we are given time to train, when we get to the battlefield, we still can't compare to others, this gap is not a day or two can be closed."

"So the master has seen it a long time ago, why didn't he remind Chief Li?"

"Lao Leng has warned him a long time ago, and he even told him in person, but all this is speculation, there is no evidence, can you fight with imagination?"

"And what is the evidence?"

"The Japanese attack on Mengcheng is already a kind of sign, but there are heavy troops on the Longhai railway line, and they believe that for the time being, the Japanese army is not capable of posing a threat to the Longhai railway line in a short period of time."

"That division is in Luxi?"

"That's right, the Japanese are likely to smuggle across the Yellow River, go straight down to the Longhai line from the Luxi Plain, and even take the Pinghan line, so that not only the Longhai line is dangerous, but even the Pinghan line is also dangerous, and Wuhan is also dangerous."

"If the Japanese really took this risk, it was very likely to succeed."

"Yes, the strength of the Third Army of Luxi is too weak to stop the Japanese army's front, once the Japanese army breaks through the Yellow River, it will definitely leak down, and no one can stop it!" Luo Yufeng said.

"This special bastard, Shizuo has worked hard for the overall situation of the Anti-Japanese War, and has worked hard to plan, but these people are so short-sighted, and they regard Jin Yu's good words as a deaf ear!"

"Lao Luo, it's useless for you to be angry, there are some things that the master can't do, and if you fight hard, you may not be able to change your mind above, even if you succeed, can you hold the face of these people above, for some people, face is more important than winning a war, because face is their own, understand?"

"What kind of logic is this?"

"Lao Luo, you used to be at the grassroots level, and you couldn't get in touch with these, but now you are different, although you are only a brigade commander, but you are now on the rise, and the chairman and his wife are quite serious to you!"

"Don't mention this to me, if I mention it, I'll be angry, if Chairman Jiang doesn't have selfishness in his heart, he won't lose Songhu and then Nanjing."

"Lao Luo, be careful that the wall has ears, some words are okay behind closed doors, but don't let people listen to them, and if they reach the ears above, that will be a catastrophe."

"Old Qin, why are you like this?"

"Lao Luo, there are some things we can do, but we can't say them, there are some things we can say, but we can't do them, do you understand what I mean?" Qin Yankun smiled, "Shizuo knows that you are a straight temper, so he repeatedly told me to look at you and tell you this sentence at the most critical moment." ”

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Luo Yufeng's jaw fell to the ground in shock.

"Tell you earlier, can you listen to it?" Qin Yankun gave Luo Yufeng a fierce look.

"Hey......

The withdrawal of Lanling Town had a great impact on the battle situation of the entire Taierzhuang Battle, so much so that later historians also debated about it, whether this withdrawal was right or wrong.

After all, the battle was won in the end, so it is really impossible to explain it when it comes to arguing about right and wrong, but the generals who personally participated in this battle have the most right to speak.

Some people said fairly, some people did not admit their mistakes until they died for the sake of their own face, and some finally said what was in their hearts when they were dying.

There is a lot of controversy, because the truth is always in the hands of a few.

These are all afterwords, and I will say them slowly.

Nanjing, Central China Front Headquarters.

"Your Excellency Commander, this is urgent information sent back by the scorpion from Wuhan, you can take a look, it may be beneficial to the empire!" Takeo Imai, the head of the Intelligence Division, respectfully handed a telegram stamped with top secret red letters to General Shunroku Hata.

"What intelligence, so important?" Shunroku Hata had just eaten dinner and drank a little wine, and his lean and dark cheeks were slightly reddened.

"The CGJ team has made a change that is beneficial to the empire, and their Chairman Jiang has too much appetite and actually wants to eat the two elite troops that we attacked Taierzhuang in one bite." Takeo Imai reported with a slight bow.

"Really, let me see?" Shunroku Hata picked up the reading glasses on the table, put them on his eyes, and then slowly picked up the top-secret message and put it in front of his eyes to look at it carefully.

"Oh, Yanxi, it's great that Jiang in Wuhan actually made such a decision, immediately send this news to the North China Front." Shunroku Hata ordered.

"Hay!"
