Chapter 448: Mr. Li has an invitation
"Stand Master, Chief Li called again. Please go to Xuzhou for a meeting. This is the third time." Long Yingqin handed over a telegram.
If Leng Feng was an unknown little officer, Li Delin would not have invited him to Xuzhou again and again.
He now holds 30,000 heavy troops, and as long as he is willing, he can double it at any time. How could Li Delin not pay attention to such a powerful mobile force?
Especially the just-concluded "Zinpu Road South Line" operation, the powerful combat capability of the Honorary First Division is simply impressive.
With almost no foreign aid, facing the powerful Japanese troops alone and encircled three sides, not only easily defeating the Japanese army's strangulation plan, but also ate tens of thousands of Japanese troops and captured a whole regiment.
Who has achieved such a record since the War of Resistance?
No!
Just because of his two battles on the southern line of Nanjing and Jingpu Road, he must have established his identity as a famous anti-Japanese general, and no one can deny it.
Facing the great pressure on the Japanese North China Front Army, although Li Delin mobilized a lot of troops, judging from the current situation, they did not have the capital to fight against the Japanese army.
Only Leng Feng's honorary first division was amazed by the battle to encircle the 65th Regiment on the southern line of Jinpu Road, which completely made him look at him with admiration.
If he changed his command and another unit to fight, he would probably be extremely immense under that circumstances. He was able to resist the enemy from both sides and even ate an elite infantry regiment of the Japanese army, although he had almost used several times the Japanese army's strength.
But there is a gap in military strength between China and Japan itself. This big victory has pushed the domestic anti-Japanese atmosphere into the country. The international community also admires the squadron.
Whenever Chiang Kai-shek was in various meetings, he was full of spring breeze. Now there are many arguments about the negative resistance and the war of resistance that the country will be destroyed.
This is all caused by this battle.
Some people have even elevated him from an anti-Japanese hero to a "national hero", and the praise of contemporary "Yue Wumu" is overwhelming.
However, he himself did not seem to be disturbed and refused any interviews from the reporters. He focused on military training and reorganization.
Li Delin himself may not be able to achieve such a result and have such a state of mind. It is too rare.
The Battle of Xuzhou is related to the fate of the country. If there is another great defeat in Songhu, then Wuhan will be over. Once the Japanese army occupy Wuhan, the situation of national anti-Japanese resistance will inevitably be reversed.
Wuhan must not easily fall into the hands of the Japanese army, and the rear still needs time to transfer factories and combat preparations. Of course, what is more important is to train the army.
Time, what the country needs now is time!
If it can delay for more than half a year, even if the situation of the war cannot change in a favorable direction in China, at least China's ability to fight against the Japanese army will increase significantly.
Delaying the Japanese attack does not mean being passively beaten, but sometimes taking the initiative to attack. Li Delin knows this truth well, but compared with the Japanese army, there are big gaps in all aspects, and actively attacking requires strong strength to support it.
Leng Feng knew that the Military Commission had two opinions on the tactics against Japan in the Battle of Xuzhou. One was external combat, and the other was external combat.
If Han Xiangfang did not take the initiative to give up Shandong, external combat was still possible. After all, with such a large strategic depth, external combat could also avoid the enemy's edge.
But now it is not possible. Outside combat requires relatively high quality of troops. If all the troops are dispersed, they may be defeated by the Japanese army. It is better to form a fist, concentrate your strength, and adopt the tactics of internal combat.
Inside combat seems passive, but once it is fought well, while ensuring the inner traffic line, you can intersperse each other to defeat the enemies scattered outside, retain a mobile force, and support friendly forces at any time. This is the benefit of inside combat.
There are also disadvantages. Once the battle is not done well, the enemy's encirclement will become smaller and smaller, and there is a risk of being encircled and annihilated at any time.
In Leng Feng's view, the Japanese army was eager to open up the Jinpu Road. In addition to the idea of strategically connecting North China and Central China to seize more resources to support the next war, it also had the strategic attempt to eat away elite troops near Xuzhou.
Such an important battle, and it has not been decided yet. Leng Feng really doesn’t know what the Military Commission is doing all day long?
I heard that Lin Wei, director of the First Department of the Chiang Kai-shek Office, would also attend the meeting this time, and it was obvious that Kou Xian came from the destiny.
The quarrel between the bigwigs in Wuhan should have a result. Fortunately, the battle time has been postponed, otherwise I really don’t know what the result will be.
"Call back and say I will attend. What time is it?"
“On the 18th of this month.”
"Okay, I understand, ask Wei Quan to come in." Leng Feng ordered.
"yes!"
"Boss, are you looking for me?"
"I'm going to Xuzhou for a meeting on the 18th. We may leave on the 17th. You go and get me a car." Leng Feng ordered.
"Who do you bring to the meeting?" Guo Weiquan asked, taking out his notebook and starting to prepare the record.
"You are my adjutant, I'll take Xiaoyun over there. She is more familiar with the situation. In addition, in Xuzhou, Silver Fox should also arrange personnel, so don't be in a hurry at that time." Leng Feng thought for a while.
"Where is the defense force?"
"This time, let Yao Heizi lead the second team to me, and let the guard battalion send a platoon." Leng Feng ordered, "Just just Tang Xiaoying's platoon, and Niu Miao."
"Boss, is the guard power too weak? Others bring at least one guard company?"
"We are going to have a meeting, not to go to war. Xuzhou is still in the rear, and Chief Li's camp is there. What are you worried about?" Leng Feng said with a smile.
He brought these people with him mainly to see them. After all, he is not familiar with these generals and the top bosses. So far, the biggest thing he has seen is Gui Yongqing, the captain of the former teaching team.
"Okay, I'll go make arrangements." Guo Weiquan nodded and closed the notebook.
"Wait a minute, add Fang Xiaoyang's name."
"yes!"
This time I went to a meeting, I would definitely become the focus, and my words and deeds would inevitably be magnified by others, which was a huge test for him.
You must be prepared. In addition to scrutiny from insiders, external gazes will also be staring at him, those journalists with great powers and omnipresent powers will be faced by him.
You must think twice before you can do what you should say and what you should not say.
Although Leng Feng does not have practical experience in this area, he can see and imagine it. Therefore, it is necessary to do his homework, but fortunately he has two days left.
With all the troubles, Leng Feng felt that he had to do a lot of things. If he hadn't thrown the military training work to Xie Jiyuan, he would have been busier.
It is estimated that it will take at least three days to return when he leaves. If he adds back and forth on the road, it will take five days. He must arrange his home work.
Leng Feng recalled Ju Youlin, a full-time deputy division commander, because he was not here, and someone must be in charge of the division headquarters. Is Xie Jiyuan running to the troops below and inspecting and supervising the training work? This is very important.
Fortunately, with the deputy brigade commander now, Ju Youlin is still very satisfied with Zhang Zhongling, the deputy brigade commander. A top student in the fourth phase of Huangpu, with a good appearance and good character, except for being a little arrogant, he has no shortcomings.
This training and tactical training are all set one by one, and it is integrated very quickly.
Zhang Zhongling highly praised Leng Feng's "Soldier Manual" and he also liked to write some articles. Some things on Leng Feng's "Soldier Manual" are very consistent with some of his ideas.
This shows that Leng Feng is a person with real talent and knowledge, not a person who defeats the enemy by relying on luck.
When he heard that Leng Feng had also held an officer workshop, and served as the head teacher himself and gave public lectures, he certainly did not let him go and asked to listen.
Leng Feng thought about it and felt that this would be helpful for the newly transferred officers to integrate into the Honorary First Division, so he agreed to his auditor's request.
Other newly-employed officers will be treated equally if they are willing.
Zhang Zhongling is obviously not a calm attendant. He often raises his hand to answer questions during class, and the questions asked are very rare. If Leng Feng had not accumulated thousands of years of military experience, he would really not be able to withstand this studious student.
But that's it. Zhang Zhongling gradually put away his arrogance in front of Leng Feng, became a good student, studied humbly, and quickly integrated.
Dai Xu was also listened to, and he was more implicit. After listening to Leng Feng's class, he also made earth-shaking changes to Leng Feng. How could a junior who was several years younger than him know so much? He even studied the most cutting-edge tactical subjects in foreign military affairs, and he could just open his mouth and analyze his strengths and weaknesses.
Of course, you can also say that it is just a talk on paper, but how many people can say this?
I don’t know what to say, so how can I talk big?
Leng Feng also consciously guided the two people to develop in different directions. Since Dai Xu was interested in mountain jungle combat, he told Dai Xu more about mountain jungle combat. Zhang Zhongling had ideas about the big-depth roundabout tactics, so he focused on this to him.
Everyone has their own strengths, which will also be beneficial to the future development of Honor First Division.
"Leng Feng, I heard you are going to Xuzhou?" Wu Xiaoyun came very quickly. Almost as soon as Guo Weiquan left, she came in, slightly panting, her face turned red, obviously jogging all the way.
"Yes, you have the telecommunications office in charge, should you be the first to know this news?"
"Didn't you refuse twice?"
"It can be one or two, not three, not to mention that the specifications of this meeting are relatively high, so it would be not good if I refuse again." Leng Feng explained with a smile.
"Then can I go with you?" Wu Xiaoyun shivered, her cheeks turned redder.
"You want to go?"
Wu Xiaoyun didn't say a word. Although she knew what she wanted, she was still a girl after all, and she couldn't say something.
"I told Wei Quan that you are on the list." Leng Feng was also in the mood to tease her and said directly.
"real?"
"Really, this is not a secret, and there is no need for me to lie to you." Leng Feng said hilariously. He just went to Xuzhou, not to go for a trip, as for being so happy?
"I'll go back and prepare to go." Wu Xiaoyun said immediately.
"Don't worry, I'll leave the day after tomorrow. Please greet Yang Zhiyi. Come to see me tomorrow. I have something to ask him." Leng Feng explained.
"I understand!" Wu Xiaoyun ran out quickly.
I came and went in a hurry. Leng Feng suddenly realized that he wanted to have coffee, but he had already left.
Xuzhou, commander-in-chief of the Fifth War Zone.
"Captain Li, the telegram of the First Division of Honor, Commander Leng was confirmed to attend the high-level military conference on the deployment of the Xuzhou battle in the Fifth War Zone held on the 18th."
"Leng Feng is sure to come?" Li Delin said in surprise.
"I'm sure to come, and I'm taking the train. The specific time is to be determined." Huang Xuecun said.
"Don't announce this news to the public for now. This time it is a confidential meeting. If the Japanese know it, it will inevitably cause trouble. Now the Japanese army hates him to the core, but the reception cannot be despised. If there is no honorary first division on the southern line of Jinpu Road, I, the commander-in-chief of the Fifth War Zone, would be in a state of anxiety." Li Delin said solemnly.
"How to arrange it, please give me a message."
"Don't stay in a hotel. The hotel is full of people. If you look for a secluded yard near the commander-in-chief, whether you rent or buy it, arrange the guards nearby and ensure safety." Li Delin ordered.
"Yes, Chief Li, I'll do it now."
ps: Li Delin: Leng Feng, the commander has invited you three times, and you have only arrived late. You will be fined at least three times the price. No, three photos for each person!
