"Master!"

"You're back, what's the situation?" Leng Feng quietly pushed a cup of hot water over. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Wang Bin picked up the water cup very casually and took a big sip, since he arrived in Yuncheng, he left the brigade with his team and acted alone.

I'll be back at this time.

"Division, you guessed it, Liangshan does hide a Japanese army, far more than a squadron, at least now it can be confirmed that they also have a cavalry, their security is very tight, it is difficult for us to sneak into the city, we can only observe secretly on the periphery, and ask the villagers for some news, not long ago, a Japanese army drove into Liangshan, and there were hundreds of people in the city at night......"

"When?"

"Between the sixth and seventh of this month, the fellow doesn't remember it very clearly, but he can be sure of this, because he has a habit of getting up at night, and he happened to see it that night, and this incident scared him a lot."

"This is not directly coming at us, the Japanese army seems to have been prepared for a long time, and secretly left a hand, if it is one step later, this Japanese army will not be able to hide." Leng Feng secretly rejoiced.

"You're completely right, it's just that what should we do now, the Japanese squad they sent is obviously for a purpose, but why did it ......?"

"Reconnaissance, this squad was originally responsible for reconnaissance missions, they must have a connection with the 14th Division, as for why they carried the 22nd Division's defense map in Yuncheng, maybe there is another purpose, but we don't know now." Long Yingqin said.

"Ying Qin's analysis is reasonable, if the Japanese army in Liangshan has a connection with the 14th Division, then they are clear about the current battle situation in Juancheng, if this Japanese army suddenly appears on the right side of my new 37, what will be the consequences?"

"I'll remind Deputy Brigade Xie right away!"

Leng Feng nodded, reminding that it was very necessary, this era did not have such developed means of instant communication as later generations, and there was no satellite monitoring, therefore, the message transmission lagged behind, and no one could fully grasp the opponent's movements.

"Did you send someone to keep an eye on you?"

"Lao Du, Dajun and Tang Hui stay over there, I'll leave the radio to them, and Zhao Yi and I will come back first to report the situation to you in detail." Wang Bin said.

"Well, you're sitting well, let's go down and rest first." Leng Feng nodded and ordered.

I hope this is not a dark chess piece of Kenji Dohihara, if it is, it is really a bomb that could explode at any time, and he does not have the strength to be distracted and pull out this dark chess now.

In the morning, I received an urgent telegram from Liao Sen, and a unit of the Japanese army with an unknown number, numbering thousands of men and horses, went straight to Wenshang County in the north of Jining.

The goal of this Japanese army is obviously aimed at Jining, there is only Dai Xu's 40th Brigade in Jining, it stands to reason that it is enough to deal with a brigade of the Japanese army, but there are more places to defend, and it is inevitable that the troops will be insufficient.

And this time the Japanese army is also playing bigger, Dezhou and Yucheng also sent Japanese troops to attack the Liaocheng area, and the Luxi People's Army was forced to divide its troops to resist first, and the reorganization work had a great impact.

Luxi suddenly became a hot spot in the Sino-Japanese war.

At about 9 o'clock in the morning, the Japanese army regained the position it had previously occupied, and even advanced 500 meters, and the Japanese continued to bombard the position of the new 37th Brigade fiercely.

The artillery fire is still intense, but judging from the statistical data, the intensity of the Japanese drama's shelling is obviously not as strong as yesterday.

It's not that the Japanese army is out of shells, this is just the beginning, the ammunition reserves of the Japanese army are definitely much better than the situation of the GJ, this must be their deliberate doing.

Is this a war of attrition with yourself?

Not only did Xie Chengrui not believe it, but I am afraid that Kenji Dohihara himself did not believe it, and maintaining the offensive posture was to buy time for the engineer wing who was repairing the pontoon bridge.

Kenji Dohihara has given the order of the commander that the pontoon bridge must be repaired before noon today, and some heavy equipment must be transported across the river, and the mistakes of last night must not be repeated.

At the same time, the troops were transported across the river by boat without interruption, and it was estimated that most of the troops of the 14th Division would be able to cross the Yellow River without getting dark.

In fact, by noon, Xie Chengrui was already obviously feeling pressure!

Between the outer positions of Juancheng and Juancheng, he arranged three lines of defense, but the Japanese artillery fire was quite fierce, causing great casualties to the troops.

Even if the officers and soldiers on the front line dealt with it properly, their flesh and blood could not withstand the steel shells.

"Retreat two kilometers back to the second line of defense!" Xie Chengrui calmly gave the order!

"Deputy brigade seat, it seems that the Japanese army must occupy Juancheng!" Chief of Staff Han Heon-won said.

"Kenji Dohihara is a cunning opponent, against him, we need to be careful, not the slightest carelessness, only a day and a half, we have suffered 800 casualties, and this battle will become more and more difficult to fight in the future." Xie Chengrui said with a solemn expression.

Hold on for three days, it's only been half a day, and there are still two and a half days below, this is a tough battle!

"Report!"

"Come in!"

"A regiment reported that the Japanese reconnaissance soldiers had moved south and had approached the Juanyun River."

"It seems that the Japanese army can't wait to go south!"

"This is also consistent with our previous judgment, the key target of the Japanese army is not us, but the south Longhai line, otherwise, they will not be so eager to send sharp troops, generally in this case, the Japanese army will soon follow!"

"How is Jianghai's position arranged?"

"It's being constructed, but from the route of the Japanese army's top soldiers, we can basically judge their way south, so there is a focus on defense, otherwise, how can we defend such a wide front?" Han Xianyuan pointed out on the map that the front is seven or eight kilometers away, and the terrain is not high, except for the dense river network, it may not be possible for heavy equipment to pass through, but the Japanese infantry is unimpeded.

It's a tough fight.

"Deputy brigade seat, is the strength of a regiment a little less, this is not enough for the Japanese army to stuff their teeth!"

"I estimate that the Japanese army will tentatively move south, and the number of troops will not be too much, only about one or two thousand, and they can still deal with Jianghai for the time being, as long as they don't be too greedy." Xie Chengrui said slowly.

"The key target of the Japanese army this afternoon is still Juancheng, once Juancheng is captured by the Japanese army, the Japanese army will definitely move south!"

"Yes, that's right, with the solid rear of Juancheng, as long as the Japanese army departs a part of its forces to defend it, it can drag us down, on the contrary, if we hold Juancheng, the Japanese army can't go south without the slightest concern, because their back road is in danger of being cut off by me at any time." Yan Chunming, an operational staff officer at the brigade headquarters, said.

"Therefore, holding Juancheng is the key to holding back the footsteps of the Japanese army to the south, it doesn't matter if Juancheng is broken or broken, as long as it is in our hands."

"Divisional emergency!"

"Read!"

"37 Brigade Xie and Han, defending Juancheng does not have to be confined to the gains and losses of the city and land, as long as we are still within the boundaries of Juancheng, the Japanese army will have scruples about dividing troops south, the Taierzhuang Annihilation War has reached the most critical moment, the longer we stay here, the greater the help for them, if necessary, you can abandon Juancheng, withdraw to the countryside in the southeast area of Juancheng, and fight with the enemy, as long as we are in the territory of Juancheng, the Japanese army will be afraid, in addition, be careful of your right flank, the Japanese army has an elite army hidden in Liangshan, the number is unknown, Wangche solemn, honorary first division, cold, noon on May 12, 27th year of the Republic of China. ”

"It seems that the division has already taken into account our situation and has a strategy to deal with it, but we can't easily abandon our current position, at least we still have the ability to block it for a while, if we want to withdraw, we have to wait until dark, so that the Japanese army will not dare to pursue." Han Xianyuan said.

"Take one step, look at three steps, this is the style of the division, Lao Han, you come to make a retreat and blocking plan, I'll go to the front and take a look."

"Okay, but you have to be safe and wear a steel helmet!"

Kenji Tohihara finally crossed the river, and standing on the bank of the Dongkou ferry, he looked to the east, and several kilometers away, the Chinese and Japanese armies were engaged in a fierce battle.

Although the Japanese artillery is sharp, the resistance of the Chinese J team on the opposite side is too tenacious, it is simply like Xiaoqiang, who can't be killed, they dare to play with you with shells on their heads!

This is something they have never encountered before, and such a desperate army is simply too rare, and even they themselves may not dare to do so.

If China's army is the same as the army in front of them, how dare they invade China?

"Sakai is ashamed!"

"Forget it, Sakai-kun, this can't be considered your fault, even if it were me, if I hadn't fought an opponent, I would have made the same mistake." Kenji Tohihara smiled slightly, and said magnanimously, at this time, it is useless to blame subordinates, those who do not do a good job in subordinates, they will be corporal punishment, and even reprimand subordinates, for a long time, it will inevitably lead to discord among the generals, and the consequences are very serious.

Takashi Sakai is not incompetent and mediocre, at this time, the more you scold, the more uncomfortable he will be in his heart, although he will not say anything, but it is difficult to guarantee that he will not have a grudge against you in his heart.

Kenji Dohihara is well aware of this, although the Chinese's way of dealing with people is smooth, it is much better than the simple and rough in Japan, although smoothness is not necessarily a good thing, but for different people, different things, different times, how to master a degree, this is a huge science.

When Kenji Dohihara said this, Takashi Sakai felt even more embarrassed.

"In order to establish a solid logistics supply base, Juancheng must be taken, and if Yuncheng can be taken together, it would be the best." Kenji Dochihara.

"Sakai understands." Takashi Sakai, "Our army has occupied the first line of defense of the Chinese J team outside Juancheng, and they have retreated to the second line of defense, and at this rate, we will soon be able to advance to Juancheng." ”

"Yaxi, very good, Sakai-kun, I really didn't misunderstand you, but you also have to be careful of China's counterattack, their combat effectiveness, you saw it last night."

"They are very tenacious, and their tactical coordination is also above the level, but the firepower is thin, they lack heavy weapons, and their disadvantages are very obvious, and I am confident that they can take Juancheng today." Takashi Sakai said confidently.

"Very good, then I'll wait for Sakai-kun's good news." Kenji Dohihara nodded with satisfaction, but the North China Front Command couldn't wait, and two telegrams came in one morning urging him to go south as soon as possible.

One was sent through the headquarters of the First Army in Baoding, and the other was sent by Hashimoto Qun, the chief of operations sent by the base camp in Jinan, to supervise the formation.

One ordered him to go south immediately, and the other severely reprimanded him, asking him why he had been delayed in Juancheng for a day. At night, the land of Juancheng was only a brigade of the Chinese army, which actually blocked the elite 14th Division one day. Night, how did he command the battle?

Kenji Dohihara scoffed at Hashimoto's telegram of rebuke, and the gang of officials in Tokyo knew that the Chinese were not so easy to deal with, and they were all guys who talked about the army.

I heard that the plan to march into Wuhan was actually formulated by a group of low-level staff officers who had never been to the battlefield, and these people had never even been to China.
