"In the afternoon, the Japanese army had already begun to make a roundabout move, and sure enough, as expected by the division, both Japanese troops made a detour and were blocked."

"Remind Deputy Commander-in-Chief Sun to be careful of the Japanese army's big detours."

"Understood."

"Have the Sichuan officers and soldiers in the frontal position withdrawn?"

"Commander-in-Chief Wang Zhizhong has ordered the camera to evacuate after dark, it is estimated that they will evacuate their positions in the second half of the night, and the troops will concentrate in the direction of Tengxian, and a regiment commander of the 125th Division is seriously wounded."

"Is it Yao Chaolun who guards Puyang Mountain?"

"Shizuo actually knows."

"The Puyang Mountain position is the target of the Japanese army's key attack, if the Japanese army wants to make a detour, it must make a confusing move to attack the Puyang Mountain position, which Japanese army is the detour to the Longshan position?"

"According to forward observations, it should be the 63rd Wing of the Japanese Army."

"Seya detachment?"

"Well, I know, give a secret telegram to Chief Li, in the first battle of Tengxian County, you must do a good job of psychological equipment without reinforcements, Tang Keqin is no longer as brave as he was back then, he doesn't want to divide the troops, then don't let him divide the troops, first transfer the 20th Army to Xuzhou." Leng Feng said.

"Yes, Master!"

Xuzhou, Daotai Yamen, the headquarters of the commander of the Fifth Theater.

Since the beginning of the war, it has been all night long, and the electric lights have never been extinguished, and it is a matter of life and death for the nation, hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and tens of millions of people.

Before the start of the war, Lao Jiang lined up Bai Jiansheng and Liu Weizhang, two staff generals, to Xuzhou to enrich the military command force of the Fifth Theater.

"Degong, the Japanese army is divided into two major corps, respectively, launched a fierce attack on the two major gateways of our Xuzhou area, judging from the strength they gathered, there are at least seventy or eighty thousand people, and it may be more than that, equipped with artillery, especially heavy artillery as many as hundreds, and tanks are also as many as hundreds, not to mention airplanes, the first batch of planes that Soviet Russia has not yet arrived to aid us, we have almost no air power, this battle is really the most difficult battle I can fight!" Bai Jiansheng said.

"Who says it's not, the Japanese army in the south of the Yangtze River has also made some moves, and it is estimated that in the past two days, the Japanese army in the Yangzhou area has begun to tentatively provoke and attack our 31st Army defense area, I suggest, should we strengthen the deployment of troops south of the Huai River?" Liu Weizhang said.

"Let Fujian's Li Yannian's corps go north quickly."

"Yes!"

"Can the 66th Army in Yunnan also move forward?" Liu Weizhang reminded.

"It's okay, this has to be ordered by President Jiang."

"Send a telegram to the president, please order the 66th Army of Yunnan to be transferred to Shangqiu and Suxian for deployment, and in addition, telegraph to the 3rd Army, ordering him to command the troops to cross the canal and flank the Japanese army, so as to relieve the pressure on the frontal troops in Tengxian!" Li Delin quickly ordered.

"Chief Li, Honor the First Division of the Cold Division Secret Telegram!"

"Oh?" Li Delin took the telegram with some surprise, and the content of the telegram surprised him, a veteran.

"Degong, what did Guoguang say?" Because it was a secret telegram sent to Li Delin, it was not easy for others to ask too much, but the relationship between Bai Jiansheng and Li Delin was okay to open this mouth.

"He suggested not to have illusions about the Tang Army, since people are not willing to disperse the battle, then simply agree to him." Li Delin didn't say it completely, after all, there was still Liu Weizhang present, who was Lao Jiang's henchman.

"Degong, what do you mean, saving soldiers is like fighting fires, he actually suggested that we agree to Tang Keqin's rude request?" Bai Jiansheng became angry when he heard it.

Liu Weizhang was also very puzzled, Tang Keqin's delay was clearly deliberate, whether there was someone behind this who instructed him to know, but if it continued like this, the 22nd Group Army would not be able to hold out for a few days.

This reminded him of the rumor, would Lao Jiang really have any intention of using the hands of the Japanese to eliminate these miscellaneous armies in the Xuzhou area?

Otherwise, most of the generals who are now transferred to the Fifth War Zone are local armed forces, and how many generals have had grievances with Lao Chiang?

"Deputy Chief Bai, don't be angry, extinguish the fire, Division Commander Leng is just suggesting, I think he is too angry, Tang Keqin relies on his own strong soldiers and horses, and he is the Central Army, if he doesn't take Chief Li in his eyes, this is the most hateful." Xu Yanmou played a round road.

"Humph!" Bai Jiansheng threw the pencil in his hand, walked over, sat on the chair, and sulked with a black face.

Bai Jiansheng didn't really get angry with Leng Feng, it was Leng Feng's telegram that ignited his anger towards Tang Keqin, this matter has nothing to do with Leng Feng, maybe someone's suggestion is just an angry word.

Only Li Delin knew in his heart that Leng Feng's suggestion was serious, the 20th Army was not in the Fifth War Zone, it was useless for you to order others, people could drag it if they wanted, they could always find a reason, they didn't want to delay, they had already come, why bother making so many excuses?

When your 20th Army arrives in the Fifth War Zone, it will be different, you are in my territory, and you are under my control, if you don't listen to my command, I can use military law to punish you.

No matter how arrogant you Tang Keqin is, you don't dare to rebel openly, that would be what Qianfu is pointing to.

The use of the 20 Army Corps as a whole is not bad, at least such a large force, if it can suddenly attack at a critical moment, then it is possible to fight a war of annihilation in the Taierzhuang area.

The purpose of the first phase of Leng Feng's "April Fool's Day" plan is also obvious, to concentrate forces on fighting a war of annihilation in the Taierzhuang area, and to fight such a large war of annihilation, a strong living force is needed, and the 20th Army Corps was originally considered.

"Take back the telegram in front and agree to Tang Keqin's request, the 20th Army Corps will go north in concealment, not separately, and arrive within three days!" Li Delin did not ask anyone's opinion, and this time he directly gave the order.

"Degong ......"

"You don't have to say it, I know, this will make Tang Keqin look down on us even more, but this is not the main thing, what we want is to win a battle, the Tang Army is the key force, we can't let the Japanese army find out our purpose, and the Tang Army is good at fighting sports warfare, let them support and defend Teng County, it is indeed overkill." Li Delin explained.

"Duke De, if there are no reinforcements, how long can the Sichuan army last, and there is still the emptiness of the Xuzhou area, who will defend it?" Li Heling asked.

"Tune Sun Lianzhong's Second Army."

"Agreed!"

The Northwest Army is good at defending, Sun Lianzhong is a fierce general of the Northwest Army, and if the Second Army comes to defend Xuzhou, at least it will not be much worse than the 20th Army Corps.

"Since everyone agrees, let's quickly transfer the Second Army." Li Delin also made up his mind, doesn't the central army just look down on the miscellaneous local army, Lao Li and I will use the local miscellaneous army to see if we can stop the little devils.

After receiving the order, Sun Lianzhong, who was reorganizing in Henan, did not say a word, and after the order, the troops quickly set off, and the 31st Division of Chifengcheng took the lead in advancing to Xuzhou, which was far better than Tang Keqin, who was delaying and neglecting.

At this time, the new 38th Brigade also began to station in Taierzhuang on a large scale, and its tentacles had extended to the Yicheng area, and sent reconnaissance troops to Zaozhuang and Linyi.

In any case, Li Delin temporarily unified everyone's opinions.

Leng Feng also received a detailed report here, and Leng Feng also expressed his understanding of Li Delin's decision, Sun Lianzhong's work in guarding Taierzhuang was robbed by the new 38th Brigade, and now transferring him to aid Tengxian County is also a clever move, at least Sun Lianzhong is different from Tang Keqin, he will not ignore the safety of guarding the Sichuan army in Tengxian County in order to preserve his strength.

In this way, the outcome of the Sichuan army may change, and it is unknown whether Wang Zhizhong will not be sacrificed.

Everything Leng Feng can do has already been done, and the rest, he is now beyond the reach of the whip, however, he still did some things, such as supporting a batch of medicines and first-aid kits in the Fifth War Zone, which were all extorted from the Japanese anyway, and it didn't cost anything.

Leng Feng also has a group of Japanese prisoners of war in his hands, as many as four or five thousand people, these prisoners of war have been targeted by the people above, these Japanese prisoners of war Leng Feng did not think of exchanging, but the above is interested in this group of prisoners of war, especially Lao Jiang.

He needed this group of prisoners of war to make a fuss, and Leng Feng didn't have the energy to care about this, so he agreed to hand over the prisoners of war, but it was not for nothing, Leng Feng asked for equipment for a Soviet-style tank brigade.

Lao Jiang gritted his teeth and agreed, but Lao Jiang only promised to supply equipment, and the ammunition had to be solved by Leng Feng himself, which means that you pay for the ammunition.

Of course Leng Feng won't agree, he has no money, the honorary first division is to fight for the country, how can there be a reason to fight for the country and spend private money, then didn't he Leng Feng become a warlord?

Lao Jiang asked him to seize it in Nanjing and ask him to hand it in, Leng Feng said that there was no problem, antique calligraphy and paintings, and even cultural relics could be handed over, but the money was gone, and it was all spent.

No one knew how much money Leng Feng had robbed the Japanese from Nanjing, so there was no way to find out, he insisted that he had no money, even if he sent someone to investigate, he would not find anything.

This is still going on, Su Yuan has not yet arrived, this is not in a hurry, it is also a matter of urgency, and when the battle in Xuzhou is over, it is estimated that there will be a result.

On April 15, the twenty-seventh year of the Republic of China, the weather was good and cloudless, which was a day destined to go down in history.

A heroic anti-Japanese army that broke out of the siege from Nanjing has returned, which is a heroic triumph, and the eyes of the whole China and even the world are focused here.

The sound of gunfire in Teng County seems to be much quieter.

Hankou, on both sides of Zhongzheng Road, thousands of Wuhan people gathered.

Colorful flags fluttered everywhere, waving in the wind.

At the time of Wuhan Shouyi, it is estimated that it was not as lively as it is today.

There are also neat marching bands.

"Welcome to the First Division of Honor to be stationed in Wuhan!"

"Yaksha, Yaksha, we love you!"

"Warmly welcome Leng Feng, the great hero of the anti-Japanese resistance, to Wuhan."

"Leng Feng, do you have a girlfriend......"

……

Along the way, there are all kinds of colorful slogans, enthusiastic and unrestrained, and a little ambiguous. The explicit slogan makes people blush when they see it.

In fact, the openness of the atmosphere of the Republic of China is no worse than that of later generations, and sometimes it is even exceeded.

This is an era of overkill.

Acting Chairman Chen Cixiu, chairman of Hubei Province and commander-in-chief of the Wuhan garrison, personally went to the station to greet the 1st Division of Honor to Hankou.
