Chapter 10050: Liu Ziliang is here
This is the second time that Hiroshi Takahashi has fled back alone in embarrassment, but this time he also carried a person. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Second Lieutenant Kogoro Matsumoto.
"Captain, what's wrong with Matsumoto-kun?"
"The Chinese hid snipers on the battlefield, and Matsumoto-kun was unfortunately shot, and he was loyal to the emperor's cause." Hiroshi Takahashi explained.
Sniper!
The rest of the Takahashi squadron took a breath of cold air, how could the Chinese be so cunning, after withdrawing, there were still people left.
"Captain, what is the result, has the Cold Yama King been killed by us?"
"They took all the bodies, it's hard to say now, but there is a feeling that our operation may have failed this time." Hiroshi Takahashi said with a slightly frustrated expression.
Failed?
Everyone was silent, nearly a third of them died, even Kogoro Matsumoto was killed in battle, and bombers were dispatched, if the final mission failed, how could they go back and explain?
"Captain, maybe it's not what we thought it was?" One of his subordinates suddenly came out.
"That's right, Captain, maybe we can kill the Cold Hades?"
Takahashi Hao himself recalled, although he had always felt very accurate, but at this time, he was also a little suspicious, after all, he didn't see it with his own eyes.
But with such a fierce bombardment, not many people should have survived, but when they arrived at the battlefield, except for the burning trucks and the mess, there was not a single corpse, obviously someone had cleaned the battlefield.
Who quickly approached the battlefield after the bombing and cleaned the battlefield so quickly?
Hiroshi Takahashi has rich combat experience, and the battlefield is cleaned so cleanly, and in such a short time, it must be a fairly professional team.
In this vicinity, the nearest Chinese J, that is, the 119th Division of the 68th Army of the G Democratic Party in Yutai, is it not them?
On August 2, the core position of Madang Changshan was lost, and less than 200 people, including Captain Bao Changyi, were evacuated safely.
At this time, the reinforcements of the 167th Division led by Xue Weiying had not yet arrived.
When the news reached Wuhan, Chen Cixiu, commander of the Ninth Theater, urgently ordered Luo Zhuoqing, commander-in-chief of the Wuhan garrison, to personally supervise and lead Li Yunxun's 16th Army, Liu Duoquan's 49th Army, and Huang Wei's 18th Army to carry out counterattacks on the front line of Xiangshan and Madang.
As soon as Leng Feng got up in the morning, he received a battle report from Guo Weiquan.
"Junzao, it seems that it is only a matter of time before Madang Fortress is broken through by the Japanese army." Guo Weiquan said to Leng Feng.
"One soldier bears, one bear, this Li Yunxun really deserves to be killed!"
"Report!"
"Come in!"
"Military seat, Deputy Commander Liu Ziliang asks to see you."
Liu Ziliang came, Leng Feng was surprised, and hurriedly walked out, seeing a slightly wealthy middle-aged soldier, looking at his collar badge, wearing the rank of lieutenant general.
"Hello Sir Leng."
"Commander Liu, I was supposed to visit you in Jinxiang in person, but I didn't expect you to come first, it's really rude!"
"Chief Leng is polite, Ziliang, as a subordinate, should come to meet the chief." Liu Ziliang said.
Although he was given the position of deputy commander-in-chief from above, he was still a little unconvinced in his heart, Leng Feng was too young, but he had no choice, who would let the family have strength under his hands!
As long as his troops are still in Luxi, they can only rely on others, otherwise, with his remaining remnants of less than 10,000 people, he will not be able to stop the attack of Hitsumi himself.
"Please speak inside." Leng Feng warmly welcomed Liu Ziliang in.
"Please!"
Tian Wenqi also came, and he accompanied Liu Ziliang to come over.
"I don't know what Chief Leng wants to see when he comes to Yutai?" As soon as Liu Ziliang sat down, he threw Leng Feng a question that was difficult to answer.
Leng Feng was also stunned, and came over by himself to take a look at the combat readiness of the front-line troops, and by the way, to learn about some of the situation of each unit, and to have an intuitive understanding of the troops under his command.
"Combat readiness, training, and the life of a soldier."
"Commander Leng won't be a joke to come to see our Northwest Army, right?"
"Look at the joke, Commander Liu, where do you start with this?" Leng Feng felt strange, the 68th Army was now also a unit under his leadership, what jokes did his own troops have to watch?
Liu Ziliang heard Leng Feng say this, his stiff face relaxed slightly, he was actually afraid that Leng Feng would come over, point fingers at his troops, and interfere too much.
"Commander Liu, you are too careful, I am not here to interfere in the command of your troops, let alone reorganize your troops, I just came to see and help you solve practical problems." Leng Feng also saw that Liu Ziliang was worried that he wanted to annex his troops, in fact, he didn't have such an idea at all, this time he really came to see and understand the combat effectiveness of the troops below.
If he was not familiar with the actual situation of the troops under his command, how could he make a plan for the next step of the war against Japan?
When Liu Ziliang and Tian Wenqi heard this, their faces were a little embarrassed, especially Tian Wenqi, who seemed to be even more embarrassed.
This is a big misunderstanding.
Leng Feng's statement in the barracks yesterday was to buy people's hearts, usually to annex a unit, and the best way is to buy people's hearts first.
Leng Feng's additional compensation for the dead soldiers is a means of buying people's hearts, and the further is to absorb and eat the 68th Army.
After all, under the Luxi-Henan-North Joint Command, the 68th Army is the weakest one, and it is the one without a tough background.
"Chief Leng, our 68th Army is short of food, clothing, guns and ammunition, can you help us solve it?" Liu Ziliang asked.
"Yes." Leng Feng said with great certainty.
"Is that true?" A sharp light flashed in Liu Ziliang's eyes.
"A gentleman's word."
"Whip the horse!"
"Okay, Commander Leng is a cheerful person, as long as Commander Leng can replenish food and ammunition for our army, my 68th Army is willing to obey Commander Leng's dispatch, and only the horse is the first." Liu Ziliang stood up and said loudly.
"Liu Jun's words are serious."
"I don't know how Chief Leng solves the problem of food and ammunition for my 68th Army?" Liu Ziliang asked next, he is not a person who just fools around and gets on the boat.
"For the food problem, I can transfer a batch from northern Henan to the 68th Army, but there is only one way to solve this problem with weapons and ammunition." Leng Feng said.
"What's the solution?"
"Snatch it from the Japanese army." Leng Feng said heavily.
"Grab the weapons of the Japanese army, Sir Leng, I heard you right, we are now being defeated and retreated by the Japanese army, and we can only barely hold on, and we have no power to fight back, how can we snatch weapons from the Japanese army?"
"Commander Liu didn't think about taking back the lost Fengcheng and Peixian?" Leng Feng looked at Liu Ziliang calmly.
"Take back Fengcheng and Pei County!" Liu Ziliang said with a moving face.
"Does Commander Liu want to or don't want to?"
"Of course." Liu Ziliang blurted out that Fengcheng and Peixian were lost in his hands, and if they were recaptured, it would definitely be different.
"Commander Liu, you must also know the current war situation, the strategic goal of the Japanese army is to occupy Wuhan militarily and force the Nationalist Government to surrender, but this idea is futile, even if they can occupy Wuhan, we will not surrender, we cannot directly participate in the defense of Wuhan, but we can contain the Japanese army in North China in Luxi and eastern Henan, and even cut off the Jinpu Road that connects them." Leng Feng said.
"Chief Leng plans to cut off the Jinpu Road, so that the Japanese army in North China and Central China will not be connected to each other?"
"That's right."
"But with the existing forces in our hands, I'm afraid we can't do it, right?" Liu Ziliang expressed suspicion that the Fifth Theater under the leadership of Li Delin, which gathered more than half of the elite troops of the national army, failed to hold the strategic town of Xuzhou.
And now most of the elite troops in the Fifth Theater have been withdrawn and moved south, and the remaining troops are either crippled and continue to rest and replenish their vitality, or they are fighting against Japan behind enemy lines, surviving with difficulty.
"Once the Japanese army launches a full-scale attack on Wuhan, it will inevitably draw out the Japanese army in North China, and by that time, the Japanese garrison in Xuzhou will be reduced by at least half, and the Japanese troops in Suxian, Bengbu and other places will also be transferred, and at that time, it will be an excellent opportunity for us." Leng Feng explained.
Liu Ziliang somewhat understood what Leng Feng meant, that is, to take the opportunity of the Japanese army in the Xuzhou area to take the opportunity to go south, and launch a battle plan to recover the Longhai line, take it by surprise, disrupt the deployment of the Japanese army, create obstacles for the Japanese army, disperse the Japanese army's strength, and achieve the goal of containing part of the Japanese army's strength.
This is indeed a good plan, but if he wants to cut off the Jinpu Road and regain the lost territory, especially in a military town like Xuzhou, he finds it difficult to do.
At least the current troops in the Luxi region do not have this ability.
With the strength of the Luxi region alone, if you want to counterattack the Longhai line, or even recover Xuzhou, it will never be possible.
Even an elite unit like the 8th Army can only maintain an invincible situation, not to mention that the 8th Army also needs to recuperate after months of hard fighting.
The Japanese army in Xuzhou and the surrounding area exceeded 30,000 troops, according to the five-to-one comparison of combat power between China and Japan.
These 30,000 Japanese troops can compete with at least 150,000 elite national troops.
The 68th Army and the 8th Army faced the Japanese army head-on in the Luxi area, plus the local anti-Japanese forces and the scattered troops of the G Army, which were about 50,000 or 60,000 people.
Except for the new 38th Division of the Eighth Army, which was well-equipped, the equipment of the other units was far inferior to that of the Japanese army.
It would be good to be able to block the Japanese attack on Luxi, and if you want to counterattack, unless the new 1st Army is dispatched.
Legend has it that one army of the New First Army is enough to fight against an elite field division of the Japanese army, and if this is the case, the Japanese army in Xuzhou will only look like a division in total, and it is not a complete division.
This may be a bit more certain.
However, fighting a war is not a simple superposition calculation, the new 1st Army is stationed in northern Henan, and it also has to guard against the 2nd Brigade of the Japanese Army from being stationed in the southern Hebei region.
Even if the new army can withdraw troops and enter Luxi to fight, I am afraid that there will not be too many troops.
Therefore, Liu Ziliang didn't think that Leng Feng could achieve his ideas, and even a little ambitious.
Of course, from the bottom of his heart, he still admires Leng Feng, at least Leng Feng is a person who really wants to resist Japan and dares to think and dare to be.
Young people's enthusiasm needs to be encouraged, but it should not be overheated.
"Sir Leng, Ziliang has something I don't know if I should say or not?"
"Commander Liu is a senior in the army, and the younger generation is willing to listen to the teachings." Leng Feng nodded.
"For the time being, our army is fighting with the Japanese army, or winning less and losing more, although we have won battles like Taierzhuang and Guide, but we still lost the city in the end, so our current strategy is still based on defense, as for the attack, I want to wait until the balance of forces between the enemy and us changes, and then consider it, what does Commander Leng think?"
"It is true that what Commander Liu said is right, in our current war against Japan, we mainly focus on defensive operations, offensive operations, it seems that we have not seen much, but when the local forces change, we should seize the opportunity to give the Japanese army a ruthless blow, this can not only inspire the anti-Japanese fighting spirit of the people of the whole country, but also weaken the vitality of the Japanese army, and can also achieve the purpose of containing the Japanese army and supporting other battlefields. It is time to take the initiative to attack, and soldiers should have the consciousness of taking the initiative to attack! Leng Feng said loudly.
