"The 85th Army encountered the Japanese army in Yi County, and fierce battles occurred between the two sides. The Japanese army led Yicheng in the battle. The 85th Army suffered nearly 2,000 casualties. They planned to secretly separate from the Japanese army tonight and move to the mountains east of Yi County and Zaozhuang!"

"So many casualties?" Li Delin said with a frown in front of the sand table in the war room.

"The Japanese offensive was quite fierce. They had tanks and planes to help. We rushed to fight and did not have strong fortifications, so"

"It seems that the Japanese army's intention to step down from Taierzhuang in the south is settled!" Bai Jiansheng said with a serious expression.

"How is the garrison of Taierzhuang?"

"The one guarding Taierzhuang is my elite new 38th Brigade. This is a powerful brigade that is not inferior to the Japanese army. Moreover, they also have an armored brigade. If used properly, it may give this arrogant Japanese army a huge surprise."

"Well, the New 38th Brigade has such a strong maneuvering power. We should not wait for the Japanese to come, but take the initiative to attack." Bai Jiansheng suggested.

"Will the Japanese army be scared?"

"No, this time the Japanese army clearly wanted to capture Xuzhou. Taierzhuang and others must take it. Even if they were setbacks once or twice, they would not easily shake their determination."

"I agree with Vice President Bai's suggestion!"

"I agree too!" Liu Weizhang nodded.

"Then let's give the Japanese army a head-on blow!" Li Delin made up his mind to fight a beautiful counterattack to boost morale in the entire war zone.

"Catch me the command of the new 38th Brigade of Taierzhuang!"

"yes!"

Weishan Island.

"Teacher's seat, telegram from the new 38th Brigade."

"Wait a minute." Leng Feng lay on the map, holding a magnifying glass and carefully observing every mountain and river road. He filled the mountains, rivers and waters on the map in his mind to form three-dimensional maps.

Guo Weiquan waited aside for ten minutes before Leng Feng put down the magnifying glass in his hand, straightened up, and asked, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

"The Japanese army has occupied Yicheng and the vanguard has approached Taierzhuang. Chief Li ordered the new 38th Brigade to take the initiative to attack, giving the Japanese army a head-on attack."

"Well, how do Luo Yufeng want to fight?"

"Braft Commander Luo said that it is not yet certain when the Japanese army will step down from Taierzhuang from the south of Yi County, but with the arrogance of the Japanese army, they will definitely choose the shortest road and attack directly along the highway."

"Well, Lao Luo's judgment makes sense. The Japanese army was blocked in Teng County, but in the end they captured Zaozhuang and Yicheng in a row. At this time, they were arrogant and would not take our army seriously. Moreover, the Japanese army has always been arrogant and very forgetful. I guess they have forgotten the lessons of Teng County now."

"The Japanese Segaya Detachment attacked Zaozhuang and Ichi Prefectures was the Japanese Segaya Detachment. This Segaya Kiyo performed well in the battle to capture Fuji Prefecture, which was much harder to deal with than the arrogant and arrogant person, Risuke Ichia." Xie Jiyuan said.

"Well, then I have to see if Lao Luo's acting is realistic?"

"What a master's seat means to lure and destroy it?"

"Well, the Japanese army in North China have not fought with us. Although they will have intelligence exchanges, I think the conflicts within the Japanese army are not so much. Even if Seya Kiyoshi knows in his heart that the New 38th Brigade guarding Taierzhuang is the new 38th Brigade, he may not take it too seriously." Leng Feng said, "Anyway, let Lao Luo be prepared and give the Japanese army an appetizer first."

"good!"

The southwest corner of Taierzhuang Railway Station is the location of the New 38th Brigade.

Taierzhuang is backed by the canal. The river water is very deep, with at least three meters deep in the center. It is basically impossible for people to wading by the water. The Japanese are short, so they will probably lose their heads if they can't walk through the river.

Apart from a few farmhouses on the south bank of the canal, there are fields, which are flat and have no danger to defend. As long as the Japanese army gets ashore, Xuzhou is the one in his pocket with their powerful mechanized corps.

Therefore, Taier Village must guard it.

Luo Yufeng knew the principle of "fighting against the water". Before the troops set off, Leng Feng specially called Luo Yufeng over and told him carefully about the terrain and defense strategies of Taierzhuang.

After coming, Luo Yufeng strengthened the city defense of Taierzhuang according to his own understanding. Not only did he dig countless trenches and traps outside the city, but he also had minefields.

Luo Yufeng used all the defensive measures that could be used. When Li Delin came to inspect, he praised the fortifications built by the New 38th Brigade and was quite satisfied.

Taierzhuang City is not big. Luo Yufeng only placed four battalions, and the main force was placed outside the city. Even the division headquarters was located outside the city. Taierzhuang is different from Teng County.

Luo Yufeng guarded Taierzhuang to attack, not just block or defend. Moreover, the streets in Taierzhuang City Village are dense and narrow, and are not suitable for large troops to garrison and defend. If the Japanese army bombed them in one round, it would be miserable!

Therefore, most of the troops were placed outside the city, one regiment guarded the east of the Zhuang, one regiment guarded the west of the Zhuang, and another supplementary regiment stationed troops on the south bank of the canal.

Originally, the new 38th Brigade had to strengthen the defense of the canal position, but with the Second Army retreating from Lincheng, Li Delin prevented the 31st Division and the 30th Division from being on the canal position on the east and west banks of Taierzhuang.

In this way, the troops guarding Taierzhuang had exceeded 20,000.

In this way, Li Delin set up a pocket array in Taierzhuang to calculate the bottom of the bag.

This is a bad battle. Luo Yufeng and Qin Yankun were already prepared for this when they came to Taierzhuang.

"What do you think of the telegram sent by Commander Tang of the 20th Legion?"

"He asked us to stay in Taierzhuang for three days, and we would have completed the task."

"The commander-in-chief's plan is that when the Isogai Division stepped down from the south, the 20th Army attacked from the Japanese side, suppressing the Japanese army with the north bank of the Grand Canal, and then we launched a counterattack together and annihilated the Japanese Segai Detachment on the spot!" Luo Yufeng said.

"Is this plan formulated by the commander-in-chief of the Fifth War Zone or by Tang Keqin?"

"The orders of the Chief Officer's department will not be fake." Qin Yankun said, "Didn't you just receive a call from Chief Li? Chief Li personally called us and gave orders. This is a great honor!"

"No matter how he should fight, how to fight, as long as he guards Taierzhuang, it will be the victory of my new 38th Brigade." Luo Yufeng gritted his teeth and said, "Is there any news about Lao Leng?"

"Not yet, wait a little longer."

"Have you sent a scout?"

"Cao Xingyang personally led the team, there is no big problem." Qin Yankun said.

"The Eagle Cold Front Codename Secret Telegram!"

"Give it to me quickly!" Luo Yufeng reached out and snatched the telegram from the adjutant and read it carefully.

"What did the Eagle say?"

"The Eagle agreed to give the Japanese army a head-on blow, but also reminded us to be careful of Kei Seya. This man is very cunning, and the 31st Division almost fell into his trap." Luo Yufeng said.

"As soon as Cao Xingyang comes back, report to me immediately!" Luo Yufeng ordered.

"You are going to use a reconnaissance battalion?"

"No, there is also a cavalry battalion, forming a mixed search team. Let's talk about the Japanese army first." Luo Yufeng said, they have fought the 6th Division and the 13th Division. These are permanent divisions in the Japanese Army, but the combat effectiveness of the permanent divisions is not very strong.

The Segaya Detachment belongs to the 10th Division and is known as the "Steel Army". If you can win such a title, you are definitely not an ordinary person.

He was not mentally prepared to see whether the new 38th Brigade could defeat this Japanese army.

"Report!"

"Come in!"

"A team came to the brigade. They claimed that they were the Sichuan Army who broke through from Teng County and had arrived in Beiluo." A communications consultant hurriedly walked in from outside and reported.

"Oh, is this general of the Sichuan Army the leader General Wang Zhizhong, the commander of the 122nd Division of the Sichuan Army?"

"Yes, there is also General Sun Zhen, the acting commander-in-chief of the 22nd Army."

"Order the logistics department to kill pigs and sheep, and prepare to reward our brave Sichuan soldiers." Luo Yufeng ordered.

"yes!"

"Did you call Chief Li? The Sichuan Army has arrived at Taierzhuang safely?" Qin Yankun reminded.

"I should call Chief Li."

"Okay, very good, Brigade Commander Luo, your news is really great. You don't know. I'm still worried that they will be bitten by the Japanese army and cannot be safely withdrawn."

"The Ministry of Justice has ordered people to prepare good wine and food, so that the brothers of the Sichuan Army can eat and drink enough, and then return to the rear to rest!"

"Brig Commander Luo, you did a good job, thank you." Li Delin put down the phone, and the hanging heart finally fell to the ground.

The Sichuan Army broke through, and the press conference was already held, and the whole world knew about it. If they were surrounded by the Japanese army again, it would be a joke.

Although it is unlikely, because the Japanese army was found to go south, it was notified that the Sichuan Army immediately evacuate from Zaozhuang to Xuzhou.

It’s just that they had too many wounded people and did not have enough transportation, so the evacuation speed was definitely not fast. In addition, the Japanese army advanced too fast, and Lincheng and Zaozhuang had almost no resistance and fell into the enemy.

This was also unexpected by the commander-in-chief of the Fifth War Zone.

"Have the Sichuan Army arrived in Taierzhuang?"

"Well, Brigade Commander Luo just called. The Sichuan Army had more than 2,500 people, most of which were injured. There were more than 300 serious injuries. If they hadn't been in Zaozhuang for two days' rest, they might not have been able to reach Taierzhuang in such a short time." Guo Weiquan said.

"Now they lack medical treatment and medicine, and many people are seriously infected. If they are not treated in time, I am afraid that even if many of them can come out of Teng County alive, they may be seriously injured due to complications." Long Yingqin said regretfully.

"Master, can we?

Leng Feng was also considering this issue. These wounded soldiers are all veterans, and veterans are all treasures, not to mention that these veterans all came from bloody battles in Teng County.

Now Xuzhou may not be able to treat these wounded soldiers.

"Wei Quan, do you think we can consider treating these wounded soldiers on Weishan Island for treatment?" Leng Feng walked several times, and a cigarette between his index finger and middle finger was burned to the end.

"Master, do you want to take them to Weishan Island for treatment?"

"Yes, the Department Department Field Hospital is now fully capable of treating them. We also have a batch of medicines that can treat them, but if we do nothing, I am really uneasy." Leng Feng said.

"Can we find a hidden way to get them to Weishan Island?"

"A hidden way?"

"Is it possible for the teacher seat? We can announce to the public that they will be sent to the rear hospital for treatment, and then quietly take them over in the middle, so that no one knows it. A group of wounded soldiers should be paid attention to." Guo Weiquan suggested.

"Can't you send them directly to the rear for treatment?"

"I'm afraid there is too late to go, and some seriously injured soldiers' wounds have festered. It's serious, and it's already at the point where amputation saves their lives."

"Aren't there enough military transport?"

"The Japanese planes have bombed our railways for several days, and our army cannot arrive in time, let alone transporting seriously injured people."

"This is just the beginning, why is that?"

"In fact, Xuzhou is capable of treating this group of wounded people, but the amount of combat preparation medicines reserved by Xuzhou is insufficient." Knowing yourself and your enemy, Li Delin has already opened up to Leng Feng for the family's fortune in the Fifth War Zone. Otherwise, wouldn't he, the deputy chief of staff, be a vase or decoration?

"We can't do nothing now when we find a way to accept this group of seriously injured Sichuan Army soldiers." Leng Feng decided, his eyes were extremely firm, and he extinguished the cigarette butts in his hand.

To be continued.
