Chapter 699: The Three Caves of the Cunning Rabbit
readx;?“ How much fuel do we have left? ”
The quartermaster was staggered, his head bowed, his face flushed, not knowing how to answer Kenji Dohihara's question. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Say!"
"Some of the fuel we carried, salvaged part, and all the rest, all ......"
Kenji Dohihara's eyes darkened, he thought that the losses were not very large, and those cars were bombed, and it was impossible for the war to be without losses, and it was acceptable to be a little bigger.
As long as you can win, all this can be compensated.
But the guarantee of victory is that these mechanized equipment have enough power source, that is, oil, Japan is not a resource-rich country, fuel oil, for them, how important.
Why is this happening, I thought that I was negligent for a while, and the result was too terrible, this Leng Feng was really good at exploiting loopholes.
Kenji Dohihara imagined Leng Feng too much, and even demonized it a little, in fact, Leng Feng himself didn't know how much he could get in exchange for these sixteen old guns of the 17th Heavy Artillery Regiment.
But judging from the intelligence of the previous reconnaissance, the Japanese army was indeed a little careless, at least, if they deployed heavy equipment, then the sixteen howitzers of the 17th Heavy Artillery Regiment could play a limited role.
But they just huddled, which is unpleasant.
"How long does our fuel last?" This is Kenji Dohihara's concern, and this is related to his battle plan below.
"If it's just a march, three days is no problem." The quartermaster snorted.
Three days?
Kenji Dohihara had the urge to jump up and beat this quartermaster, and he also knew that he had to talk about responsibility for this matter, and the responsibility was not on this quartermaster, and the biggest responsibility should be him.
Of course, it is also subject to objective conditions, if it is not for the purpose of reducing the load and allowing the equipment to cross the river, these gasoline and diesel will also cross the river with the transport vehicles.
At least when the Chinese shelled the car to a slightly safer place, the losses would not be so heavy.
The fire burned a whole one, and now it hasn't been extinguished, and it can't be saved, 30,000 gallons of gasoline and 20,000 gallons of diesel, and in the end there is less than a fifth left.
More than 500 cars, plus tanks and trucks, cost about 10,000 gallons to fill up with fuel.
In other words, the remaining oil is enough for all the equipment that needs fuel in the entire Tufeiyuan Group to be filled once, plus the oil left over from the equipment.
The quartermaster said it was enough for three days, but it was conservative.
Especially diesel, this tank and combat vehicle fights, repeated full and wear are counted, I am afraid that it will not be long before these iron bumps will have to lie on their stomachs.
Of course, these are not known to the Chinese, nor can they be known from above, at least not now, such a big loss, such a big loss, he must have something to hide.
Of course, he can't help but report, but the number of returns can be a little smaller, and if there is a loss of a hundred, it is enough to report thirty, or even ten.
Also, this is also done to stabilize the morale of the army, from crossing the river to the present, it seems that Juancheng has been occupied, but in fact, who is the loser in such combat efficiency and losses, who is the loser, who knows better.
There is still some fuel in Puyang's warehouse, but this is far from enough, he needs to replenish more fuel, but now the fuel in his hand is enough for him to hit Caozhou!
Kenji Dohihara ordered a part of the 28th Brigade under the command of Takashi Sakai to garrison Juancheng and wait for an opportunity to capture Yuncheng to the east, while the main force of the 14th Division and the attached Heavy Artillery 2nd Brigade and others brazenly moved south to attack Caozhou (Heze).
On the evening of the 13th, the Japanese advance crossed Fuchun Town and advanced to Shiji Town.
Relying on the Leizer River, the new regiment built blocking fortifications on the south bank of the river, and the Japanese tentatively forced their way across the Leizer River, but were repulsed by joining forces.
When the Japanese army was moving south, Leng Feng ordered the 23rd Division that rushed to Caozhou to quickly move north to help the new 37th Brigade.
Dong Zhao's 28th Division, which got off from Lanfeng, also followed to Caozhou after a day's rapid march, and the vanguard had rushed to the Dongming area to set up defenses.
Leng Feng ordered Cheng Gang to temporarily resume his position as acting regiment commander, and agreed to command the two regiments to block the Japanese army on the south bank of Lake Leize Lake, and be sure to delay the Japanese army's southward movement.
In addition to the 373rd Regiment acting with Xie Chengrui, Leng Feng allocated almost all the firepower and equipment of the new 37th Brigade to Cheng Gang, including a heavy mortar battalion, a heavy machine gun company and an infantry artillery battalion!
Lei Ze is the place where the three emperors of ancient times were born to the mother of Fuxi, the origin of Chinese civilization, and now it has also been brutally invaded and trampled by the Japanese invaders, which has aroused the indignation of the people of Gu Lei Ze.
This made the Japanese troops who were accustomed to burning, killing and looting along the way a little unaccustomed, aren't the Chinese accustomed to being killed and captured by the Imperial Japanese Army, how can they still learn to resist now?
This may only be a passive and helpless resistance, but it undoubtedly shows that the Chinese and the Chinese nation will never be slaughtered and enslaved by everyone.
"Master, the telegram has been deciphered!" The change in the tide of battle worries Leng Feng, but for now, he has no better way.
He did everything he had to do, and as for the outcome, he couldn't guarantee it.
"What telegram?"
At 3:18 p.m. today, the commander of the First Army of the North China Front, Kiyoshi Kazuki, personally sent a telegram to Tufeiyuan, ordering him to immediately go south to the Longhai Line, otherwise he would be dealt with by military law.
Leng Feng took the telegram, and after quickly browsing the contents, he slammed his fist on the table: "It seems that Tu Feiyuan was forced south by Kazuki Kiyoji." ”
"As soon as the division said this, this is true, the Japanese army suddenly moved south, it was exactly at half past three o'clock, and in less than two hours, it was pushed to Shiji Town, which caught us off guard, fortunately, the 372nd Regiment was deployed on the south bank of the Leize River in time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable."
"Are there any other anomalies regarding the movements of the Japanese army?"
"This ......"
"Call the big guy over right away and ask if there are any important clues that we missed." Leng Feng ordered.
Kenji Dohihara will not be unaware of the danger of the battle situation in Xuzhou, at this time it is still procrastinating, and he needs to personally order Kazuki Kiyoji to urge him to go south, it must be in addition to the situation, or he has his own ideas and does not want to go south, which is in line with his choice in history, and the chief of the operations section of the First Army also made this choice, and he also changed the original battle plan without authorization, but now the situation is different, Kenji Dohihara may not dare to ignore the overall situation.
Then there is only the second situation, he can't go south right away, and the reason why he can't go south, Leng Feng vaguely guessed three points.
However, it is still uncertain, and it needs to be corroborated by information from multiple sources to be sure.
If this is really the case, then the certainty of dragging down the Tufeiyuan Division is even greater, which is also what he hopes to see.
The staff officers instantly entered the busyness, and after a while, a staff officer surnamed Li found a clue: "Shizao, find it again!" ”
"What?"
"An hour ago, the Puyang team of the intelligence department sent back a message that the Japanese army had transported a large number of supplies from the military depot in Puyang, and it was not clear what it was, but the destination was Dongkou."
"Oh, this doesn't seem to be special, the Japanese army of 30,000 or 40,000 people eat and drink, and it costs more than 40,000 catties of food every day, which is normal."
"It makes sense, find out what warehouse the transported materials are shipped from?"
"I only know that it is a munitions warehouse, and I don't know anything else!"
"Let's make a list of the situation first!"
"Yes!"
"The reconnaissance battalion directly under the 37th Brigade reported that after we shelled Dongkou, they found that the Japanese camp was in flames, and there was the sound of explosions, and they saw that the stuffy tanker trucks transporting gasoline were thrown into the sky by the explosion gas waves, and the fire was very ferocious......
When Leng Feng heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he was a little interesting.
"List it and find it again!"
"Yes!"
Soon, seven or eight pieces of information were listed, and on the surface of these information could not be seen, but when taken together, there was more information.
"Report!"
"Come in!"
"Division, Yun Feng sent a message, the Japanese army in Liangshan has moved, an hour ago, a full twenty trucks drove out of Liangshan County, Yun Feng and they observed, the trucks seem to be loaded with iron cylinders, each car is eight, one hundred and sixty, the Japanese army responsible for escorting has a squadron, is coming in the direction of Juancheng." Wang Bin reported.
"Iron cylinder, and a squadron of Japanese soldiers accompanying the escort, is it gasoline?" Leng Feng was excited, and he suddenly had a feeling of enlightenment.
The secret chess arranged by Kenji Dohihara in Yangsan was not the Japanese army itself, but a small material reserve warehouse that he had built in Yangsan.
Quietly transferred some of the supplies to Liangshan, and then hid them in case of emergency.
The cunning soil fertilizer plain actually played the three holes of the cunning rabbit.
This also confirms the current problem of the Tufeiyuan Division, his mechanized corps lacks fuel and cannot walk, and even if it can, it will not be able to go far.
If he does not have enough fuel, his heavy equipment will not be able to exert his mobility and combat effectiveness at all, which is his biggest weakness.
"Shizao, do you want us to rob these twenty trucks of the Japanese army?"
"Of course, we can't let the Japanese army get these oils, but even if we rob the Japanese army of this batch of oil now, we can't transport it back, so it's better to blow it up directly, and the most important thing is Kenji Dohihara's secret warehouse in Liangshan." Leng Feng said.
"Master, I understand, leave this task to our Yaksha team!"
"Well, you can bring a reinforced platoon over, blow up the Japanese transport convoy, return immediately, don't fall in love with the war!" Leng Feng nodded.
"Yes!"
"Xiao Xia, go and invite the head of Shangguan and head Xue to come over!"
"Master, Chief Leng!"
"There is a task for you to complete, which is related to whether we can stop the Japanese army in Juancheng for three days." Leng Feng said solemnly.
"Please take a seat, Chief Leng rest assured!"
"Very good, the mission is like this, in Liangshan, the Japanese army has established a hidden material warehouse, and your task is to lead a group of men and horses to leave now......"
"The Yaksha special task force will cooperate with your actions, and if the Japanese army's supplies cannot be brought back, they will be destroyed on the spot and must not be left to the Japanese, understand?" Leng Feng ordered solemnly.
"Understood!"
"Go, I await news of your triumph.
Shangguan Zhibiao and Xue Mingliang saluted and went out quickly.
In the evening, in order to avoid the Japanese soldiers, Leng Feng ordered the troops to retreat to the east bank of the Keishan River to set up defenses, and the headquarters was set up in Hongchuan Town.
