"The base camp calls and orders the 16th Division to withdraw its local rest and rest..."

"Who will serve as the guard in Nanjing after the 16th Division is withdrawn from its homeland?"

"The base camp has formed a new three-unit division, the 15th Division, code-named the 'Yan Troop'. It set off from the local area soon and came to Nanjing to replace the 16th Division as a garrison task in the Nanjing area!" The communications officer reported expressionlessly.

"I know, go down!"

"Hayi!"

Hata Shunrok called Mito Nakazawa, chief of staff of the 16th Division, and announced the orders from the base camp to him.

What could Nakazawa Mifu say? When he came, he was full of nearly 30,000 people, and when he returned, he was only one-tenth of them. If there weren’t any left-behind troops in the country, the 16th Division would probably have become a second-rate or even third-rate division from now on.

"Nakazawa, go back and prepare well. Your new division commander, Lieutenant General Fujie Keisuke, is waiting for you at the headquarters in Kyoto."

"Hayi!"

"Take Nakajima's ashes back, and the fallen leaves return to their roots. If he knew about it, he would definitely bless us to kill Leng Feng of the Chinese army with his own hands and avenge him!" A fierce force emerged from Hata Shunruo's shriveled body.

Mifu Nakazawa's eyes turned red. As the chief of staff of the 16th Division, he was unable to die in the battlefield, but went back as a loser. He felt that he should be punished the most severely.

Even if he ordered to sanction himself, he had no complaints, but the base camp did not punish him any severely, which surprised him. Now he had to bring back the defeated generals, as well as the dead imperial warriors.

Shinji Hata looked at Miho Nakazawa holding Nakajima's urn, and a trace of deep madness appeared in his eyes.

"General, General Ogisu's general, he ordered the 7th Infantry Regiment to return to Quanjiao from Bengbu area, and it is expected to reach Quanjiao area within two days and re-occupy Quanjiao county."

"I understand, order the 7th Regiment of the 13th Division. Be sure to reoccupy Quanjiao as quickly as possible and regain our supplies." Hata Shunrok ordered.

Without supplies, the situation of the 13th Division will become extremely difficult. Damn Leng Feng. The material transfer station of Pukou was occupied by the Chinese army, and almost cut off more than 80% of the material supply channel of the 13th Division of the Japanese Army.

"Hayi!"

The loopholes in the "strangation" plan must be blocked.

"When will the Sixth Division cross the river and head north?"

"The commander of the Inaya Division reported that he would have to give him at least one or two days to prepare. His troops had just occupied Xuancheng. The railway was destroyed by the Chinese army and it was difficult to transfer..."

"Baga, I will only give him one day, and I must cross the river north the morning after tomorrow."

Pukou, the command center of the First Honor Division, early in the morning, Qiu Qingquan took people to inspect the river defense fortifications. The Japanese army did not know where to land from the long river bank. So it was careless.

Although the possibility of the Japanese army landing directly from Pukou was relatively small, all ships of all sizes across Nanjing Xiaguan Wharf were dragged to Jiangbei by the Honorary First Division.

The Honorary First Division also formed a water force, Liu Xinyu's water detachment, although there were only six gunboats and a minesweeper, plus seven or eight small steamer modified armed ships.

With such a small force, it is to show off its might in the inland river, but if the Japanese army does not have warship guards and wants to land in Pukou, it may be a bit difficult.

In order to prevent the Japanese army from landing in Pukou, Li Xinyu also laid out mines at some suitable locations for landing. If the waterway is not clear, there will be only a dead end if it rushes up.

The temperature dropped sharply during this snowfall. The visibility on the river surface was even lower. The Japanese army really wanted to attack. If you choose this time, you would really be looking for death.

"elder brother!"

"Why are your hands so cold?" Leng Feng said with distress by spreading a pair of small hands that were as cold as carrots.

"I knew you felt sorry for me the most, brother." Leng Yue kissed Leng Feng's cheek with great affection. She smiled and reached out to the charcoal brazier and baked it.

"Have you eaten?" Leng Feng didn't feel anything unusual. He had adapted to his brother-sister relationship with Leng Yue.

"No, I came with Sister Jing early in the morning. Today, a batch of medicines will be transported to Jiangpu. I will come over to see you, brother." Leng Yue said.

"Then I have to thank you." Leng Feng smiled.

"Of course, brother, Sister Jing will come later, check the wound for Wu Xiaoyun. You have to prepare breakfast for two of you." Leng Yue said silly with Leng Feng's arms.

"Okay, no problem." Leng Feng shook his head and smiled. This girl is so big a girl, she is still so clingy. I don't know how to get married in the future.

However, there is actually no harm in having one more relative. At least there are still people who always think about you and care about you.

"Lengtouer, General Shin-Ruo Hata, commander of the Central China Expeditionary Army of Japan, issued a public statement in Nanjing, saying that the people who fled Nanjing were welcome to return home. The Japanese army will help them repair their houses, rebuild their homes, distribute necessary daily necessities and food, and promise to ensure that they will not hurt them."

"Well, this statement from the Japanese is indeed a bit confusing. I think the Japanese will set some examples and then make some deceptive propaganda. In this regard, we must be vigilant and not fall behind." Leng Feng solemnly reminded, "Old Shen, the Japanese will definitely find ways to let the refugees in Jiangbei know this statement, so it is impossible to stop them. Preventing the people's mouths is more important than preventing Sichuan. What we need to do is to carry out targeted measures on the propaganda of the Japanese, and at the same time, to take the opportunity to find out the Japanese spies and traitors hidden among the refugees."

"Lengtou'er, I understand how to do it." Shen Zhiming nodded. Propaganda work is his special ability. How can Japan compete with you?

Moreover, those bloody lessons have not been long since passed. As long as the true face of the Japanese is revealed, the people will have a scale in their hearts. If there are really people who are wise and stupid, there is nothing they can do about it.

Qiu Qingquan and his group came in from outside, shook off the snow on their bodies, and removed the cold air from their bodies. The snow had not stopped until now, but it was not as heavy as the night.

But looking at the trend, it should stop until noon, and the wind became tighter.

"How about the Jiangfang Fortification?"

"It basically meets the requirements. The Japanese don't think about coming here today. The visibility on the river is only about 100 meters." Qiu Qingquan handed over the coat to his orderly soldier.

"Come here. Come here and Nuannuan."

"Miss Xiaoyue is here?"

"Hello, Commander Qiu!"

"Call me, Brother Qiu, don't call me, you are not my soldier." Qiu Qingquan laughed and said very much to Leng Yue.

"Brother Qiu!" Leng Yue shouted sweetly.

"That's right." Qiu Qingquan smiled. "Xiaoyue, have you eaten?"

"Not yet!"

"Leng Feng, you said you are the brother and sister is here, so you don't ask?" Qiu Qingquan scolded Leng Feng.

"The teacher's seat has been arranged."

"Oh, that's it..."

"Brother, Brother Qiu, where is Cong Hu?" Leng Yue asked.

"Conghu, I sent him to carry out the mission. Are you having trouble with him?" Leng Feng asked strangely.

"It's okay, I just saw that he was following you all the time and didn't see you today, so I asked." Leng Yue couldn't help but blushed.

"Xiaoyue, I have something to do with the teacher. Why don't you go to find your sister Jing first?"

Leng Yue nodded and went out.

"Leng Feng, your sister is lively and cute, what a good girl."

"My father hopes that she will get married sooner, then take care of her husband and children, and live an ordinary life. Now she follows me like this, I don't know how to explain to my father." Leng Feng shook his head and sighed.

"You, don't worry, Leng Yue is a big girl. She has her own ideas and she chooses the way herself." Qiu Qingquanyi pointed out, but Leng Feng didn't seem to be taking the lead.

"Well, let's not talk about this. Quanjiao's geographical location is very important. Now that we have recovered Quanjiao, the Japanese army will definitely make some moves. I made a bold inference. The Japanese army will give up attacking the north bank of the Huai River, and even the areas that have occupied the north bank will give up. Instead, they will defend the south bank and build a defense line along the south bank of the Huai River. The key cities for the Japanese army's defense are Bengbu, Fengyang, Linhuai Pass, Minguang, Dingyuan, Chihe and Chuxian. The focus is on several nodes on the southern line of the Jinpu Road to ensure the safety of this railway line." Leng Feng analyzed to the sand table.

"Abandoning the attack, this sign has emerged. The Japanese army in Linhuai Pass has stopped crossing the river and confronted the 114th Division of our 51st Army across the river. About 500 Japanese troops in Bengbu forced crossing the Huai River and were repelled by the 113th Division. This change is mainly due to the fact that we retreated from Nanjing to the north. The Japanese army was attacked by the enemy on the back and forth, and had to suspend the attack and instead targeted us."

"In a hurry, it was difficult for the Japanese army to turn around all of a sudden. Moreover, the Japanese army had a sudden attack and stopped. I'm afraid there were voices of opposition within them." Leng Feng said.

"Report!"

"The weasel squad has sneaked into ** County. The Japanese army has strengthened the alert in ** County. There is probably a Japanese squadron in ** County. Although there are not many troops, the city is strong and the defense is tight. If it is a strong attack, it will probably cost considerable casualties."

"I understand, let the weasel pay attention to safety. If it is not necessary, keep silent for the time being." Leng Feng ordered.

"clear."

"Teacher, Wei Quan told me just now that we have a number, and the departments and agencies of the division headquarters cannot be like before. After all, we have received military pay from the National Government."

"Well, but we are short of staff now..."

"Didn't we rescue so many captured officers and soldiers? Some of them are still recovering from injuries and are not incorporated into us?" Leng Feng said with a smile.

"Poach people?"

"Yes, as long as you stay voluntarily, what can others say?" Leng Feng said, "Our division is now short of experienced veterans and officers."

"Well, it makes sense. Let's finalize the list of personnel and positions first. As for when we take office, we will talk about it in the future. Anyway, it will not be a short while."

"I'm going to the same place as the teacher."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and everything was silent.

The plan to poach people is not achieved overnight. You have to take it slowly and flow slowly. There was no choice before, but now you can’t choose everyone, and you can’t just put everyone in the honor division.
