Chapter 1059: A big move on the Longhai Line
China and Japan fought a series of battles at the Hukou River defense fortress, almost inch by inch of land, and blood stained the land and the Yangtze River. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The commander of the 11th Army, Gangcun Ningci, personally flew from Wuhu to Pengze to supervise the battle.
The battle is fierce!
At this time, no one expected that on the Longhai Line, a large-scale counterattack war had quietly begun.
Peixian was suddenly lost, and the commander of the 2nd Army in Xuzhou, Lieutenant General Minoru Higashi, was taken aback, just as he was about to learn more about the situation.
Feng County was also lost one after another.
The two prefectures were suddenly lost, and contact was lost, and the last telegrams received were "jade shattering", and the most important thing was the Takahashi squadron, which had just made great contributions.
There was no more news either.
Lieutenant General Minoru Higashigur was in a hurry, this is a benchmark figure that has been set up with great difficulty, and it is gone, how can he explain to the six generals of Toshihiko Hata.
"Be sure to determine Hiroshi Takahashi's life and death, no matter what means you use to ......"
"Hay!"
The Japanese army obviously hadn't figured out the situation yet, and at this time it was time to make a mistake in beating him, so Fang Zishan decided to carry out the second step plan, attacking Dangshan and Yucheng, and pushing the battle line directly to the south of the Longhai line.
Leng Feng agreed to Fang Zishan's suggestion, and authorized him to continue to serve as the commander-in-chief of your former enemy, leading this mixed brigade as the main attack.
The follow-up troops also moved, and the 68th Army and the 8th Army also began to mobilize, preparing to receive the lost territory of the recovered county town, and ready to fight a large-scale battle with the Japanese army on the Longhai Line at any time.
The Japanese army did not have many troops in Xuzhou, and several important counties were stationed in second-line troops transferred from China.
In addition to the Kwantung Army, 70 percent of the Japanese troops in China were concentrated along the Yangtze River and in some areas of South China, and the Central China Front also intended to carry out a landing operation in Guangzhou.
It is highly likely that the 18th Army, which was rested and replenished in TW, was the main force for the landing operation in Guangzhou.
The Japanese army hurriedly mobilized troops from Xuzhou, Xiaoxian, Suxian and other places to rush to the aid of Dangshan and Yucheng, but this time the cold front came prepared.
The long-distance attack, the siege of the city to send reinforcements, before the Japanese reinforcements arrived, they were beaten in a hurry, and the casualties were mixed.
At this time, King Minoru Higashigier also came back to his senses, this is Leng Feng's revenge, revenge for their previous attack plan against him.
It's just that he didn't expect that he actually endured it for half a month before launching it, and as soon as he made a move, it was a heavy punch.
It was precisely at the critical moment when the 11th Army made a roundabout attack on the fortress of Hukou.
The recovery of the two county towns at once was undoubtedly a huge encouragement to the G Army, which was losing and retreating one after another.
Lao Jiang was also stunned for a moment when he received the battle report, and asked who fought this battle, and heard that it was a deputy brigade commander under Li Yaojie and his own student, so he was very happy and personally sent a telegram to Li Yaojie to reward Fang Zishan.
After this battle, Fang Zishan, a brigade commander, will definitely not be able to run.
In the next three days, the 1st Division of the 8th Army cooperated with the 68th Army to launch a fierce counterattack on the towns occupied by the Japanese army on the Longhai Line.
Under the command of Fang Zishan, Guo Weiquan and others, Army G gave full play to the familiar terrain, as well as the methods of sneak attacks and night battles, accumulating small victories into big victories, and while recovering the lost territory, it dealt a great blow to the notice of the Japanese army in this area.
Under the overall situation that the rest of the country's battlefields are on the defensive and retreating in great strides, only on the Longhai Line, Guo J is almost pressing the Japanese army, and the scenery is unique here.
The lost ground was regained one after another, the morale of the 68th and 8th armies was high, and the defensive line that the Japanese army had painstakingly managed on the Longhai Line collapsed almost instantly.
Ming's offensive against the Chinese J team, Lieutenant General Prince Minoru Higashiku hurriedly mobilized troops and horses from other places, but the Japanese army was defeated too quickly, and the reinforcements of the Japanese army were too slow, resulting in the Japanese army constantly losing the area originally occupied.
Guo J recovered the Longhai line in one fell swoop, and moved the battle line to the south, attacking Xiaoxian, Yongcheng and other places in the south.
On August 18, the Japanese army base camp issued a preparation order for the Wuhan operation:
First, the base camp was prepared to capture Hankou in late autumn.
Second, the commander of the Central China Front should advance forward one by one on the Yangtze River and the Huai River, occupy territory, and prepare for the next step of operations.
Third, the commander of the North China Front should ensure stability in the occupied areas and continue to carry out the original tasks, especially requesting that the remnants of the enemy be swept up in the occupied areas. In addition, it is necessary to plan for the operations of the Central China Front, and in order to contain the enemy in the north, it is necessary to prepare for a part of the operation, which is the new First Army and the Eighth Army in northern Henan and western Luxi.
Fourth, the relevant details are instructed by the chief of staff.
In order to complete the operational situation of the capture of Wuhan, the base camp decided to integrate the 2nd Army of the North China Front into the Central China Front.
The expanded Central China Front will become a powerful three attack groups, the 2nd Army in northern Anhui, the 11th Army along the Yangtze River, and the troops directly under the Central China Front, with a total strength of nearly 400,000 troops.
Such a well-equipped and large field heavy army group put unprecedented pressure on Wuhan.
After recovering several important counties on the Longhai Line, Leng Feng ordered Fang Zishan to stop the offensive and take it when he saw it.
This was to fight the Japanese army without defense, and as the Japanese army understood it, it would not be beneficial to mobilize its troops to kill it and attack again.
Therefore, the territory that was eaten into the stomach was first consolidated, and a batch of captured ordnance was replenished to supplement the troops, and the combat effectiveness of the 68th Army was strengthened.
A batch of Soviet equipment was allocated to Li Yaojie's 3rd Division, and the replaced equipment Leng Feng was directly allocated to the 68th Army.
Although Liu Ziliang felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, he also understood that unless the 68th Army defected to Leng Feng, it would be interesting enough for people to give you weapons and ammunition.
How many of the central military officers are willing to give the weapons they have eliminated to the local army?
Although the 3rd Division was not able to completely reequip, it received a large number of Soviet-made weapons, and its firepower was unprecedentedly strengthened.
"Junzao, news from Hong Kong, Confucius Yuan's representative, confidential secretary Qiao Fuzo secretly met with the representative of Japanese Foreign Minister Kazunari Ugaki on the 19th, and Consul General in Hong Kong, Toyoichi Nakamura......"
"The Wuhan Command judged that after the Japanese army occupied the Madang Fortress, the next plan was to land the main force with Gutang, one near Jiujiang, encircle Jiujiang, and capture Ruichang, and the sixth division of the Japanese army on the northern front was attacked by Qianjiang to Taihu Lake, litigation, and Huangmei, and planned to fight the Japanese army advancing westward, and its target was the Tianjiazhen fortress......"
"Send a telegram to Fang Zishan, the offensive on the Longhai Line can be stopped, and we will accept it when we see it, we are not the main battlefield here, and the main task is to contain the Japanese army in North China." Leng Feng commanded.
"Yes!"
Leng Feng has already considered returning to Xinxiang from Yutai, he has been out for a long time, although there are Xie Jiyuan, Liang Dong and others at home, and all the work is carried out in an orderly manner, but he is not in office as the coach, and some things are dealt with, and the timeliness is a little poor.
In addition, it was announced to the public that his injuries had improved and that he was basically in no danger, which was tantamount to reassuring the troops.
Therefore, the territory in northern Henan is quite stable, and the launch of the Longhai Line offensive also shows Leng Feng's control over the troops under his command.
Without the centering dispatch of the cold front, how could it be possible to achieve the great results of the offensive on the Longhai Line?
The king of "northern Henan" is back!
This is the last thing that the Japanese army wants to see, and for the Chinese old white surname, this is a thing to rejoice.
Leng Feng's return and date are strictly confidential, and there can be no more leaks this time.
Although the previous leak did not find anything definite, it was a wake-up call to the new First Army, and the security of Leng Feng is definitely a matter that is not easy to ignore.
I originally planned to go to the Third Army to visit Sun Yinting by the way, but due to the attack, I couldn't make it.
On the way back, he quietly went outside Jining City and met with Sun Yinting, and Leng Feng revealed the "Qingcheng" plan to him.
When Sun Yinting heard this, he was surprised, but he already admired Leng Feng very much, not because of his young age, he would not rely on the old and sell the old, the Third Army must have a backer.
For Sun Yinting, no one can compare to Leng Feng, who is immortal, and Leng Feng's future is far better than those generals of the G Army, and he is still young, just when he needs someone to help him, this charcoal in the snow is always better than the icing on the cake.
Such a rising star, and ambitious, is an opportunity to go up.
Sun Yinting didn't think much about it, and promised to fully cooperate with Leng Feng's next "Qingcheng" plan, which made Leng Feng very happy.
In this way, the purpose of his inspection of the front line was basically achieved.
Leaving Jining and returning to northern Henan, Leng Feng deliberately went from the village where he adopted Nannan, although Nannan had been adopted by him, but he still hoped to find her relatives who might survive, even if it was a relative, to figure out Nannan's life experience, and to say to Nannan in the future, don't leave any regrets.
This time it was Tang Jing who accompanied him, Tang Jing was Nannan's godmother, and she also wanted to know about Nannan's life experience.
When I asked, it was not the original village, but there were people who had fled from other places, as well as poor villagers in the vicinity, who saw the ownerless houses here, so they occupied the magpie's nest, came to occupy the house, and lived in it.
Nannan's home was also occupied by a family who fled from southern Henan, Leng Feng didn't say anything, the embankment at the mouth of the garden broke, how many innocent people were homeless, they were able to escape here, it was already very pitiful, and the people in this village were all killed by devils, and the house was uninhabited, which was also a waste.
Although he was a little disappointed, but it was also a wish, Leng Feng left a sum of money and an address for the person who moved in later, and asked him to help pay attention to the inquiry, if someone asked about the family and the child, he could write it down first, or let him go to Xinxiang.
It's a little sad, and this feeling is something that Leng Feng hasn't had in years.
"Let's go." Tang Jing looked at Leng Feng, who seemed to be reluctant to leave at the entrance of the village, and suddenly felt a heart-wrenching pain.
It turns out that this man's heart is also so delicate, and the softness is three points more than that of a woman.
She really didn't understand these things before, perhaps, before he was just a little more important, but now, he has matured.
became a big hero who stood up to the sky, and he seemed to be getting farther and farther away from her.
"Hmm." Leng Feng knew that this departure did not know when he would be able to return to this village, maybe forever.
Leng Feng ordered someone to take a photo, even if he can't come back in the future, he has to tell the truth to the girl when he grows up, because she has the right to know all this.
