Who to buy the fastest updated novel, the rich man in Shanxi, Yan Lao Xi'er.
In China now, the local powerful faction that can independently produce weapons and ammunition is only Yan Laoxi'er, and the Japanese heavy artillery captured in Leng Fengli has no way to produce shells himself, so he can only look for sellers who can produce them.
If it is all about capturing and fighting, it will be a no-brainer, and sooner or later it will be out of cooking, so you have to find another way.
Leng Feng knew the history, Li Delin chose the troops to defend Taierzhuang, and there were originally two choices, the first was Tang Enbo's 20th Army Corps, and the other was Sun Lianzhong's 2nd Group Army.
Tang Enbo's 20th Army can be said to be the elite of ****, and the equipment is also the best, the German armor division has almost been defeated, if you don't count the honorary first division, he is indeed the best, and it is also the only unit that can be handled by Lao Jiang.
The Tang Corps has a German-made 150 mm howitzer battalion, which is the best in terms of personnel and equipment, and the Tang Corps has two armies under its jurisdiction, and a division directly under it, with five divisions in the whole army, with a total strength of seven or eight people, and is known as 100,000 to the outside world.
Tang Enbo is Lao Jiang's proud student, and he almost obeys his orders, even if Lao Jiang agrees to use the 20th Army Corps in the Fifth War Zone, Chief Li has concerns about using it, the reason is very simple, he doesn't listen to you.
As a commander, no one wants to use a subordinate who does not listen to your command at a critical moment, so although the 20th Army Corps is strong, Chief Li is also cautious in using it.
Moreover, the 20 Corps is also one of the few mobile units in his hands, and he does not want to use it until the critical moment.
Compared to the 20th Army, the 2nd Army is a little different.
Although the 2nd Army also had two armies under its establishment, the entire group army was only 20,000 men, less than a quarter of the strength of the 20th Army.
The number of troops is small.
Poorly equipped, with fewer heavy weapons, mixed firearms, difficult supplies, and many soldiers were armed with steel knives and long swords. Gun.
Speaking of which, the 2nd Army also belongs to the miscellaneous, it was originally subordinate to the Northwest Army, after the end of the Central Plains War.
The Northwest Army collapsed, and Sun Lianzhong's troops were absorbed by Lao Chiang.
It was changed to the 26th Route Army, and after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, it was rebuilt into the 2nd Group Army.
For such a ragtag army with insufficient men, horses and weapons, after weighing it, Chief Li still decided to use it, Sun carried out orders seriously in battle, and fought resolutely, so such a unit was easy to use and safe to fight.
And the Tang Army itself is uncontrollable, and it is also against Li himself, no matter how good the weapons of such a unit are, they will make mistakes.
Chief Li's final choice was right, Tang was a treacherous villain, and when Teng County was in a tight situation, he hoped that Tang would support him as soon as possible.
As a result, it dragged on, and eventually led to the fall of Tengxian County.
Even in the later Battle of Taierzhuang, the Tang Army was late and almost ruined the entire battle.
Lao Jiang pushed all the miscellaneous cards to the Fifth War Zone, and his intention was naturally obvious, to borrow the Japanese and consume these local miscellaneous cards.
Of course, he can't go too far.
The dog who forced people to jump over the wall in a hurry, Lao Jiang is also in trouble, such as forcing the miscellaneous cards to be in a hurry, and rebelling on the verge of battle, which will also be detrimental to the national war situation.
So, the miscellaneous cards have to be sent.
His descendants will also be sent over, and this 20th Army is his descendant.
As soon as everyone Jiang sent his descendants over, it was balanced, and the 80,000 people of the 20th Army were stronger than that miscellaneous army, and the weapons were also among the best.
But in fact, Tang is not controlled by Li at all, and even more so to the miscellaneous army, and the most shameless thing about this guy is that he is almost done, and then goes to pick peaches.
Leng Feng's goal in the north has always been for the Battle of Xuzhou, and the battle on the southern front of Jinpu Road is just to expand the living space and warm up for the war.
He must go to the Battle of Taierzhuang, but in what capacity he will participate in it and when he will intervene, he has not thought about it, after all, the battle situation has changed a little now.
The battle on the outskirts of Tengxian County was fought vividly, and the Japanese army on the Linyi side had no intention of attacking on a large scale, in fact, the date of the entire Battle of Xuzhou had been postponed.
The news brought to him by Qiu Qingquan was not groundless, and it was not impossible for Li Zhangguang to take the Honor First Division as the third unit that could choose to defend Taierzhuang.
There are 30,000 people in the first division of honor, all Japanese weapons, the degree of mechanization is higher than that of the Japanese army, and there is also a heavy artillery regiment, and the heavy firepower is stronger than that of the 20th Army Corps.
He has rich experience in fighting against Japan, and has experience in defending the city, as well as in field offensive and defensive warfare, and it is rare that he has both offensive and defensive skills.
Although Leng Feng may not completely obey his orders from Chief Li, Chief Li can still trust Leng Feng, at least Leng Feng is a real anti-Japanese general.
With this, there is no fear that there will be incidents such as delays and escapes under the pretext.
How to fight Taierzhuang, Leng Feng considered, but did not consider how to defend Taierzhuang, Taierzhuang is the northwest gateway of Xuzhou, backed by the canal, although it is a place where soldiers must fight, but if it is defended, it will become a "battle against the water"
, this is a taboo for soldiers.
In any case, if you want to participate in this big battle, there is not much time left for Leng Feng.
"Chief, the Japanese army has increased its troops, and the Japanese army has mobilized heavy troops from the mainland, and today it landed at Wusongkou in Shanghai, with a total strength of more than 50,000 troops."
"So much?"
Leng Feng was slightly startled, Japan's war mobilization mechanism was very perfect, so they were able to recruit soldiers to fight in a very short period of time.
There is no way to compare this point with China today.
"We're in trouble."
Acting Chief of Staff Xie Jiyuan said with a solemn face.
"Report!"
"Come in!"
"The remnants of the 13th Division of the Japanese Army broke through this morning, all the way to Xuyi, all the way to Tianchang, and the total strength of the Japanese army was less than 2,000."
Leng Feng frowned slightly, the 100,000-strong army trapped 15,000 Japanese troops, and actually let the Japanese army break free from the encirclement and run away with 2,000 people?
How was this battle fought?
"With such a tight pocket, how did the Japanese break through?"
"At the last moment, the Japanese army used poison gas bombs, and our troops suffered heavy casualties, and the position was torn open by them."
Leng Feng nodded, this explanation is reasonable, under the siege of such a powerful force, it is really unreasonable to let the Japanese army go.
The main force of the 13th Division of the Japanese Army was encircled and annihilated, which was another heavy loss for the Central China Front.
The second stage of the wolf capture plan has almost been completed, the goal has basically been achieved, and all the main forces of the 13th Division of the Japanese Army and one part of the Ninth Division have basically been lost.
Among them, the 13th Division and the 16th Division were treated almost the same, and the entire division was afraid that it would have to be rebuilt.
"I'm afraid the Japanese army will launch a river-crossing operation next, division, we have to prepare early."
Xie Jiyuan said.
"With our current river fortifications, we can't support a few rounds of heavy artillery from the Japanese army, not to mention that this time the Japanese army is pouring out, we have no strength to resist at all, rather than increasing unnecessary casualties, it is better to simply give up, Lao Xie, what do you think?"
"I think it's okay, but it can't be cheaper for the Japanese?"
"You can leave a small number of troops, let the Japanese know that we are still there, and by the way, just consume their shells, they don't consume a single point of strength, we will increase a point, and one will eliminate the other!"
"Agreed!"
"Blowing up bridges and roads, in short, can delay the advance of the Japanese army, we must all be prepared."
Leng Feng nodded.
"How's the refugee transfer going?"
"There were not enough special trains, so we used all the coal trucks to pull coal, first to transfer the refugees to Shangqiu, Zhengzhou and other places, and then to the south, Zhengzhou and Shangqiu respectively set up two huge refugee camps, a total of about 500,000 people."
"Okay, we must settle the lives of refugees, and those who are willing to move with us should bring them with us as much as possible, is our transportation capacity enough?"
"At the moment, it's at full capacity."
"How many days will it take for a refugee to be transferred?"
"It's about ten days away."
"Very good, our important materials and equipment must also be shipped to Zhengzhou first, these are our future capital, we must protect them."
"In this way, a regiment from the new 38th Brigade will be drawn to follow these supplies, equipment and instruments to the north, and then to the south."
Leng Feng said.
"Master, why don't you take it out of the First Division of Honor?"
"Drawn from our troops, it's too conspicuous."
"We have to speed up, otherwise we may not be able to catch up with this big war."
Xie Jiyuan said.
"Well, inform me that at one o'clock in the afternoon of the 5th, the first-level military commanders of each brigade and regiment will go to the division headquarters for a meeting, and no one shall be absent without reason!"
"Yes."
The Japanese army obviously did not intend to give the Honor First Division a chance to breathe, and soon Leng Feng received the news that the Japanese army in Yangzhou had increased its troops again.
The number of Japanese troops stationed in the Yangzhou area suddenly increased from more than 10,000 to 20,000.
Although the number of the Japanese troops has not yet been clarified, it has already put a lot of pressure on Leng Feng.
The Timberwolf Group also sent news from Nanjing that a large number of Japanese military planes were stationed at the Japanese military airfields in Danyang and Wujin, and the number of them was as high as hundreds.
The 18th Division was transferred from Huzhou to garrison Nanjing.
After the annihilation of the main force of the 13th Division of the Japanese Army, the southern line of Jinpu Road returned to the control of the squadron, and the safety of the southern line of Xuzhou was well guaranteed.
Liao Lei's 21st Army was stationed on the Dingyuan line in Hefei, Wei Yunsong's 31st Army was stationed in Bengbu, and Yu Xiaohou's 51st Army was stationed on the Linhuai Pass line in Fengyang, and part of it was sent east to pursue the remnants of the Japanese 13th Division that broke through.
Leng Feng's Honorary 1st Division remained unchanged from its original station.
Only Zhang Xinchen's 59th Army pursued the remnants of the Japanese army as the main force.
Leng Feng then handed over the defense of Yuxikou to Liao Lei's 21st Group Army, and the defense of the river east of Hexian and west of Pukou was also taken care of by the new 38th Brigade.
Leng Feng then issued an order to the new 38th Brigade to retain part of the alert force and withdraw the main force, preparing to abandon the fortifications along the river.
Once again, the clouds of the Great War covered the sky.
