Chapter 1052: Conspiracy the Longhai Line
On the afternoon of August 2, at a regular press conference of the Xinxiang Administrative Office.
Spokesperson Liang Dong announced in a heavy tone.
Leng Feng, commander of the New First Army, director of the Northern Henan Administration and commander-in-chief of the Western Henan Joint Command of Shandong and Western Henan, was ambushed and bombed by an elite Japanese army, and was seriously injured and the entourage also suffered major casualties.
At this moment, the reporters collectively lost their voices, and the news was so explosive.
The scene of the question asked at the press conference was once in chaos.
Many people can't help but have a question?
What is the intention of the New First Army to announce such news at this time?
Moreover, under normal circumstances, such things can always be concealed if they can be concealed. Only if they can't be concealed will they be announced to the public or selectively announced.
What is the purpose of the New First Army doing this? Who made the announced decision? Leng Feng was injured. Among the senior executives of the New First Army, only a few people were able to make this decision. Chief of Staff Xie Jiyuan is the second-ranked figure of the New First Army and has this power.
The third person is the deputy commander Du Guangting, who also has this authority.
In addition, during Leng Feng's injury, Du Guangting temporarily served as the director of the Northern Henan Administration, but there seems to be no following for the position of commander-in-chief of the Western Shandong-North Henan Joint Command.
Public opinion suddenly became an uproar.
"My brother Xie, aren't you putting me on the fire?" Du Guangting received the report and came to Xie Jiyuan without even putting his hat on it.
"The military captain said that senior Guangting will understand."
"But I don't know how to be the acting director of the Northern Henan Administrative Office. I don't know anything about the situation in Northern Henan?"
"Senior Guangting doesn't need to worry. The secretariat and the executive branch will handle government affairs with their own personnel. You just need to sign the documents."
"I'm just a puppet?"
"Hehe..." Xie Jiyuan smiled.
"Forget it, I understand. I've gotten on the pirate ship, so I don't have to worry about it. But what I'm worried about is that this time the military throne plays, can I believe it?"
"I want our military officer to die this day, so we do this in line with their wishes. Do you think they will believe it?"
Du Guangting was speechless. This really made me understand what Japan thought. Whether it was true or not, how could Japan not believe it after such an announcement?
They are also willing to believe that the "Leng Front" was seriously injured or even died in the attack.
"Senior Guangting, next, you have to bear some criticism. The secret of the military officer's safety and safety cannot be revealed."
"What about the 68th Army?" Du Guangting was a little worried.
"Over there, the military captain has made an agreement with Commander Liu Ziliang, and Commander Liu dare not be vague about this." Xie Jiyuan explained.
"Okay, I'm destined to be scolded." Du Guangting could imagine that he took over as acting director of the Northern Henan Administration, and the New First Army would take some generals to see him.
"I'm sorry to Senior Qu Guangting. When the military throne comes back, the misunderstanding will be resolved." Xie Jiyuan said.
"Will the next thing be released? This acting director was appointed by Wuhan?"
Xie Jiyuan smiled embarrassedly and did not give a positive answer.
"You are so brave enough. You dare to make decisions about such things without authorization?" Du Guangting understood that Leng Feng is a master who is not afraid of heaven or earth. As long as he thinks it is right, he will not follow the rules at all.
"Rules are dead, people live. Besides, the Wuhan aspect is too complicated. Some of our senior officials secretly communicate with Japanese and I. We cannot take this risk." Xie Jiyuan said.
"Someone really dares to do this?" Du Guangting said in surprise.
"There are people in the Central Government who sell themselves to Japan. What's the point?" Xie Jiyuan smiled and approached Du Guangting and whispered, "Actually, Mr. Jiang secretly sent a special envoy to Tokyo. This person is now in Shanghai, but he has betrayed Mr. Jiang and has become someone's lackey."
"Brother Ji Yuan, can't you say this nonsense?"
"Talking nonsense, haha, in fact, there are many people who know this secret, but no one can tell it." Xie Jiyuan said, "Senior Guangting, you should understand."
"How did you know these?"
"This cannot be said. When senior Guangting opens his heart and completely integrates into our new army, he will naturally know all this."
"The military captain knows it too?" Du Guangting asked.
"Of course, the military captain knows more than me, otherwise why is Japan always unable to beat military captains? Every time I encounter military captains, I will be defeated so miserably?" Xie Jiyuan smiled, "The Japanese army called us the 'Devil' troops, and this title is not for nothing."
"Why……"
Although he was kind, Du Guangting felt very uncomfortable when he wanted to help deceive the beloved "principal".
If this matter makes "Principal Jiang" feel a knot in his heart, it will be difficult to deal with.
What should I do?
When Du Guangting returned to the office, his mind was full of the words "deception" and "concealment". No matter which one was, it was a very difficult option for him.
Leng Feng was attacked and seriously injured!
This news shocked Chiang Kai-shek more than receiving the loss of Madang's core position. Now Leng Feng can be regarded as the most powerful general of the National J on the battlefield of the Anti-Japanese War, and the Japanese army is now afraid.
As long as Leng Feng is there, it is like a magic needle for the sea. Old Jiang felt confident that as long as Leng Feng and the New Army are there, the Japanese army will still have a fearful opponent. This is his last trump card.
As the chairman of the Military Commission, he is very clear-headed, at least he is much more sober than many senior executives of the J.M. In the Battle of Xuzhou and Lanfeng, if Leng Feng hadn't led the New First Army to participate in the war, would it be the current situation?
impossible.
The most glorious ones on the surface are the new 38th Division and the 20th Legion, but who is the real hero behind the scenes? Lao Jiang understood in his heart.
Dai Yunong was very unlucky and was called by Jiang Jiang and scolded him. Japan planned such a careful attack, but the intelligence department had no news in advance?
Dai Yunong was stunned by the training. He didn't know that such a thing had happened. He was so scared that his calves were trembling. If Leng Feng was assassinated, it can be imagined that the will of the domestic military and civilians to resist the war would collapse in an avalanche...
The news was no longer blocked, and Xinxiang had already announced it to the public. Chiang Kai-shek was so angry that he wanted to fly to Xinxiang now and slapped the person who made the decision twice.
The positions on the Madang Fortress were occupied by the Japanese army in a roundabout way, and the fortress blockade line became a decoration. No matter what is solid, it is even worse than noodle soup.
This news came at this time, which was simply bad news. Lao Jiang was so angry that he was almost furious.
Dai Yunong came out of Lao Jiang’s official residence, and his heart and back were soaked.
In the afternoon of the same day, the outskirts of Leng Feng who was assassinated and injured came out.
It was like a stone thrown into the calm lake, and ripples instantly dissipated.
"What, King Leng Yan was attacked and seriously injured?"
"How could this happen? It must have been done by Japan myself..."
"The Japanese devils killed in heaven!"
...
There was a lot of curses.
Regarding the announcement of such a "fake news", Leng Feng also evaluated the impact, which would have a certain impact on the morale of frontline soldiers. However, if guided correctly, turning this anger or pessimism into hatred and beliefs is enough to offset the negative impact of this news.
Of course, there is also the effect of paralyzing the Japanese army. He wanted to create the illusion of "serious injuries" by himself, so that the Japanese army would relax their vigilance or take the initiative to launch an attack.
No matter which Japanese army chooses, they will fall into his trap.
The premise is that Japan has to believe that he is really seriously injured, so it depends on how to arrange the show below.
As soon as the news reached Wuhan, Li Delin's telegram came. He and Li Delin had a secret radio station, which was contacted separately.
Li Delin was in the Donghu Sanatorium and had been paying attention to Leng Feng's actions in northern Henan. He was really scared when such a thing happened this time.
He quickly asked Huang Xuecun to send a telegram to Leng Feng to inquire about the situation through the secret radio station.
Leng Feng naturally trusted Li Delin. He wrote a brief explanation of his thoughts and situation and sent it to him.
Li Delin himself did not agree with Leng Feng's behavior at this time, but after careful consideration, Leng Feng's personality is like this and he was bullied and did not fight back. Will he still be considered a soldier?
Moreover, if Leng Feng's idea is successful, it will also have a considerable effect on the defense of Wuhan. At least it can restrain the Japanese army in North China and prevent them from reinforcing the Chinese and Japanese army at will.
If the Longhai Line can be recaptured and the Jinpu Line can be cut off, the attack on the Japanese army will be huge.
If someone else makes this plan, Li Delin will directly shake him up, but if this person is replaced by Leng Feng, it is hard to say, he is a person who is good at creating miracles.
The Battle of Xuzhou and Lanfeng, if he had not commanded the New First Army to Yanzhou north and Yuncheng west, cutting off the supply and reinforcements of the Japanese army, creating favorable conditions for the troops in the Fifth War Zone to encircle and annihilate the Sigu Division, and could such a brilliant victory as Taierzhuang?
In the Battle of Guide, if Leng Feng had not dragged the elite Doihara Division with his own strength, Zhengzhou would have fallen into the hands of the Japanese army at this moment, and there would have been a victory in the Battle of Guide, and an elite field heavy army mechanization group would have been eaten up.
Such victory is no less than Taierzhuang. At the critical moment, Leng Feng took the lead in the enemy's initiative and sent the New First Army's most elite armored commando and heavy artillery brigade. The New 38th Division blocked the Japanese reinforcements, which overwhelmed Kenji Doihara's last straw.
Li Delin decided to cooperate with Leng Feng's idea, so he sent a telegram to Li Heling of the Fifth War Zone, and also to Bai Jiansheng, who acted as the commander-in-chief of the Fifth War Zone.
The troops in the Fifth War Zone should closely monitor the trends of the Japanese army in Bengbu area and support and restrain the Japanese army in Xuzhou and Shandong at any time.
