25th, early morning, light breeze. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The mist lifted, and a red sun rose over the eastern horizon.

Outside Chengwu County.

Gray torrents poured along the road outside the city, like the tide at high tide, mighty and surging, a force that washed everything away.

"Enemy, enemy attack ......"

The Japanese sentry at the city gate pointed at the gray torrent in horror and shouted.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of "alarm" was heard in all directions, and the Japanese troops in Chengwu County and some puppet military policemen who maintained law and order woke up from their sleep.

In a panic, they put on their clothes, took up their weapons, rushed out of the barracks and tents, and ran towards their respective positions.

Ten minutes later, the first cannonball landed on the city wall of Chengwu County, and the cannonball hit the city gate bricks, making a dull explosion, and the dust and gray stone burst out.

Although it failed to hurt anyone, it had blown up a big gap in the battlements.

These bricks have long passed for hundreds of years, and they are no longer in use!

"To fight such a small city, we actually dispatched two of our main regiments, one is enough." Cai Jin, who had just been promoted to the deputy of the second regiment of the first brigade, rode on horseback in high spirits.

"Deputy regiment, with you, this small Chengwu county, isn't it a clapping effort to take it?"

"Don't pat me on the back, when will our battalion be able to do a regiment and a battalion." Cai Jin glared at his deputy, who was now the battalion commander of the first battalion of the second regiment and said.

When the first regiment and one battalion and the second regiment and one battalion were held in the old 38th brigade, they were two units competing with each other, and since Tu Man went to the reconnaissance battalion, Li Dongsheng took over as the battalion commander.

Who knows that it's not the same thing, when the Banxi Wing surrounded Yutai, it still let a regiment and a battalion take the lead and attack Banxi's headquarters first.

Although the results were all the same, the previous one and the other allowed a regiment and a battalion to steal the limelight, and there was a clear difference in the combat exploits recorded.

Cai Jin already knew that he was going to be promoted to deputy regiment at that time, but after all, the second regiment and the first battalion were the troops he brought out, and he was always pressed by the first regiment and one battalion, and he was not convinced.

So, he wants his successor to win, even once.

"Then Li Dongsheng, don't look at him as a stuffy gourd, but he can fight thieves and thieves......"

"That's it, the soldiers brought out by Cao Wangba are just different."

"Deputy of the regiment, you make a little noise, be careful to let Battalion Commander Cao listen."

"What are you afraid of, this time the attack is Chengwu, and the reconnaissance battalion will not participate, so he will lead the team to perform other tasks." Cai Jin snorted, with a contemptuous sound in his mouth.

"Don't talk nonsense when you kid go back......"

"Deputy Commander, we're in!"

"Got in?" Cai Jin was taken aback, this Chengwu county town has a large number of Japanese troops stationed, the combat effectiveness is not weak, and there are relatively strong fortifications, as long as the food and ammunition are sufficient, it is not a big problem to hold for a day or two.

Of course, if the siege is heavily armed, it is a different matter.

The question is, it's only been a few minutes now?

"Deputy commander, there are not a few Japanese troops in the city, we met a squad at the north gate, twenty Japanese soldiers, a little attack, the sharp knife platoon will enter ......"

"Where's the East Gate?"

"I don't know the east gate yet, and it is estimated that it is about the same, according to the captured puppet army policeman, the Japanese army opened overnight last night, and it seems that they went north."

"Why don't we know anything about such important information?" Cai Jin was taken aback.

“……”

"What, the total number of Japanese troops in the entire Chengwu County is less than a hundred, what about the others?" Luo Yufeng was surprised, he dispatched troops on his side, worked hard all night, and mobilized thousands of people, just to fight the county town where less than 100 Japanese troops were stationed?

Is this ridiculous?

"The Japanese troops left suddenly last night, and they didn't alarm anyone at the time, they walked through the West Gate." The intelligence staff has compiled intelligence information from the front or .

"So, they've already gotten the news that we're planning to reclaim Chengwu?" Deputy division commander Niu Xianmin said in surprise.

"Where did this Japanese army go, and is there any news now?"

"Not yet, according to the confession of the captured puppet army, the Japanese army began to evacuate at about eleven o'clock in the middle of the night, but judging from the silence of their evacuation, they were prepared."

"Our decision to recover Chengwu was only yesterday evening, and it took about three hours to complete the deployment and issue the combat order, so it stands to reason that it is unlikely that our side will leak secrets."

"That's the friendly forces of the 46th Division and the Third Army in Cao County?"

"It's possible, but it still needs to be investigated, if the Japanese army is ready to abandon Chengwu if they get information, why do they want to leave a small force in Chengwu, is it to confuse our scouts in the city?"

"It doesn't make sense, they will leave when they leave, and even if we get the news, we can't stop it."

"If we get the news of the Japanese retreat, we can ambush them halfway, which may be the reason why the Japanese army deliberately left a small team."

"In short, I'm really unwilling to let go of this Japanese army!" Luo Yufeng said with annoyance.

"Lao Luo, I think this is unusual, and I must report this situation to Chief Leng immediately." Qin Yankun reminded solemnly.

"Well, report the situation to Leng Feng immediately, I also feel a little uneasy, he is smarter than us, and he should be able to see the little devil's conspiracy." Luo Yufeng commanded.

"That Chengwu County?"

"Give it to the 138th Brigade and order the 1st Brigade to pursue along the traces of the Japanese withdrawal." Luo Yufeng ordered, "Be careful, if something is wrong, immediately retreat and call for support." ”

"Yes!"

"The Japanese army withdrew ahead of schedule, leaving only a squad to make a show?" Leng Feng was also a little surprised when he received Luo Yufeng's report, which was indeed beyond his expectations.

What kind of trick is Kenji Dohihara playing, is he trying to get yourself a few smoke bombs to interfere with his judgment?

Or did he have already made a decision to give up the line of going south to Longhai?

However, will he be able to withstand the pressure given to him from above?

Regardless of why, Kenji Dohihara's move is obviously to give up Chengwu, and it can also be regarded as a signal that he does not plan to go south to the Longhai line.

But it could also be a smoke bomb, deliberately making him let his guard down.

"Guoguang, I'm completely dizzy, the games you smart people play are too brain-burning, and my brain can't turn around completely." Xie Jiyuan smiled bitterly.

"Lao Xie, in fact, if I had the strong strength of Kenji Dohihara as the backing, I wouldn't want to use my brains, so I pushed it over directly, but the problem is that we don't have that strength now, and we can only outwit it when we fight against a strong enemy." Leng Feng also smiled bitterly, "The problem is, our enemies also like to play with their brains, which is not fun. ”

"If only I knew what Kenji Dohihara was thinking now." Xie Jiyuan smiled.

"I also thought, when I catch him, I must split his head open and examine it to see what is inside?" Leng Feng said.

"I'm afraid he'll think the same way, right?"

"Call back Luo Maniac, Tu Feiyuan takes more time than us, so this may be the reason to set up a suspicious formation, find the Japanese army stationed in Chengwu, and in addition, beat him for a while, and recover Dingtao by the way!" Leng Feng thought for a moment and gave Luo Yufeng an order.

"Okay."

"Report!"

"Come in."

"Division, Deputy Brigade Commander Zhang called, the new 39th Brigade has all arrived in Fan County, please ask for instructions on the next step." The communications staff officer walked in, saluted, and opened the folder to report.

"Let the new 39th Brigade rest first, pay attention to secrecy, and all officers and soldiers are not allowed to go out." Leng Feng thought for a moment and ordered.

"Yes!"

"Why don't you attack Puyang right away, so that we can cut off the supply lines of the Tufeiyuan Division?" Xie Jiyuan asked.

"If Chengwu's Japanese army is not evacuated by Tufeiyuan, then he has already made a decision that he will not go south, if we cut off Puyang's supply line now, then he will have a reason to return to Puyang, in that case, the main force of the Tufeiyuan Division will return to help, and we can return within a day, and at that time, we will face the Tufeiyuan Division alone." Leng Feng said.

"According to my inference, his weakness on the battlefield of Caozhou is to lure us to take the initiative to attack him, so that he will have a reason to refuse to carry out the order to go south, so that even if the Japanese army is punished by the top brass, he can escape part of the guilt, and there is ......" Leng Feng choked his words.

"What else?" Xie Jiyuan asked curiously.

"It's nothing, if Tu Feiyuan really has such courage, then it's really a terrible opponent." Leng Feng let out a long breath, he really didn't want that.

Taiyuan, the residence of Kenji Tu Feiyuan.

"Chengwu?"

"Why not Juancheng?" Kenji Dohihara was shocked to hear the battle report, and his brows furrowed: "Could it be that this Leng Feng wants to force me to go back the way I came?" ”

"Division commander, Chief of Staff Sano asked what to do next?" Kenji Dohihara's lieutenant asked.

"Call back Sano-kun, according to the original plan, if the Chinese army takes the initiative to attack, there are steps to retreat to the north bank of the Wanfu River and hold Dingtao."

"Hay!" The adjutant nodded and went out to send a telegram to the chief of staff, Tadayoshi Sano.

Kaifeng, Headquarters of the First Corps.

"Leng Guoguang called, the Japanese army took the initiative to give up Chengwu, and our army recovered Chengwu early this morning."

"Take the initiative to give up, interesting, doesn't Kenji Dohihara want to go south to the Longhai Line?" Xue Boling turned around from the map and smiled.

"I think he knows that there is no chance of winning if he continues to go south, so he might as well give up."

"It's not that simple, Tu Feiyuan is scheming, he is borrowing strength, I didn't expect that his situation would be so difficult, and he needs to borrow our strength to help him stabilize the situation." Xue Boling said with a smile.

"Chief Xue, do you see something?" Wu Xiqi asked curiously.

"Kenji Dohihara doesn't want to go south, but he doesn't dare to disobey the order of the upper peak, then at this time, only the obstruction from us can make him have an explanation for the upper peak, it's not that he doesn't want to go south, but he has encountered the stubborn resistance of our army!"

"Didn't he open his eyes and tell nonsense?"

"Whatever you say, the one who is completely speaking." Xue Boling smiled.

"I understand that Kenji Dohihara will make excuses for himself again so that he can be exempted from punishment or reduce his responsibility." Wu Xiqi finally figured it out.

"You've finally opened your mind, and you can teach your son!"

"Then Leng Guoguang him?"

"He, he understood earlier than you, he didn't want Tufeiyuan to go south to the Longhai Line, so even if we win, it would be no good, at most it would be a lose-lose situation, and it would also delay the retreat of the Fifth War Zone." Xue Boling said, "It's a pity that Kenji Tohihara cherishes his feathers and doesn't have the courage to break the cauldron and sink the boat." ”

Wu Xiqi's eyes rolled, where is this completely courage, it is completely gambling, and it is gambling on his life. (To be continued.) )
