Chapter 629: Unexpected little trouble
Kosuke Inoue originally wanted to send a "Yaosha" telegram to Kosuke Sakurai in Yanzhou, but the radio station he carried was damaged by the shelling and could not be repaired.
In addition to sending a telegram that was ambushed by an unknown GJ team, Major Inoue did not figure out who was attacking him until his death, nor could he give such important information back to Colonel Sakurai in Yanzhou.
On the evening of the 3rd, a heavy rain came unexpectedly. The rain had little impact on the war in Taierzhuang, because the falls there was not much.
But for Jining City, this was a sudden heavy rain. It started to rain lightly in the evening. The troops fought with the Japanese army in the rain. The gunshots stopped. The rain became heavier and heavier in the second half of the night. It was not until seven or eight in the morning that the rain stopped.
This rain also affected the battle to recover Jining City. If it weren't for this rain, the battle might have ended long ago.
The heavy rain washed away the traces of the battle. Except for the bombed buildings and bullet holes in the buildings, the blood and smoke had not washed away completely.
"It's not the time to fall in heavy rain!" Leng Feng didn't sleep all night, and stood in front of the window for a whole whole night. All the staff of the division headquarters could only stay with him for a night.
"How is the situation with the old team leader?"
"I just called and said that the whole city has been controlled, but there are still Japanese stubborn elements who have escaped the net are still resisting and are clearing out, and are expected to be calmed down soon."
"How are the casualties of the people?"
"The street in Chengnan was almost destroyed. The battle took place during the day. People saw the opportunity quickly and left home to hide. At present, it seems that the casualties were not very large. The 37th Brigade was very fast and did not use heavy artillery." Long Yingqin replied.
"Well, no matter what, tell the old team leader that we must ensure the safety of the lives and property of the people, and quickly restore all orders in Jining City!" Leng Feng said.
"yes!"
"What's going on with Zhang Zhongling?"
"This heavy rain is a bad thing for them, but it is also a good thing. The heavy rain at least completely covers up their traces. Now the troops have basically reached the predetermined position. If an attack is launched, they still have to wait for the weather."
"It seems that it is a bit dangerous to capture Yanzhou within two days. Let's do this. Give him another day. The objective weather is not blamed!" Leng Feng knew that if it weren't for the weather, Zhang Zhongling would have launched an attack on Yanzhou long ago.
"Okay, we will soon learn that the Japanese army will have to attack Yanzhou with a strong attack." Xie Jiyuan said.
"Well, there is no way to do this. You can't be lucky enough to stand on our side." Leng Feng said, "Director Long, draft a telegram to report in detail about the Jining battle to the Fifth War Zone and Wuhan."
"yes!"
"Wei Quan, notify the secret service regiment that the division headquarters will move to Jining City today!"
"clear!"
"The division seat, Deputy Chief of Staff Liao urgently sent a message. There was a problem with the train dispatch. The Zhengzhou Railway Bureau originally agreed to give us two trains, but suddenly changed his mind this morning and said that he was transferred to urgently transport supplies."
Leng Feng frowned and asked, "What's the reason?"
"After something happened, Director Wu personally investigated and found that there was no emergency transportation. The two trains were used for other purposes by the commander-in-chief of the First War Zone."
“What is the purpose?”
"I don't know what it is to ship some personal belongings."
"Did the commander-in-chief of the First War Zone know that this is the military train caller of my honorary division?"
"I know, after your order was issued, Deputy Staff Liao immediately coordinated with the railway department and got two trains of troops. They had already obtained the dispatch approval documents. Zhengzhou Railway Bureau also agreed to do it well, but just when the troops were about to set off, Zhengzhou Railway Bureau said that the train was urgently requisitioned by the First War Zone!"
"Bastard!" Leng Feng was so angry that he didn't fight in the first war zone now, but the fifth war zone was fighting with the Japanese army and urgently needed to replenish soldiers, food and ammunition. Leng Feng pulled out four regiments from the Reserve Corps of the Honorary Division. He originally planned to replenish the new 38th Brigade, but now he has set up obstacles for such matters.
Do these people still have national interests in their eyes?
"The teacher's seat, the Wushu called and said that it was Liu's people who came forward to say hello to the Zhengzhou Railway Bureau..."
"Liu Jingfu, I thought that when I passed by Zhengzhou last time, he would take revenge on me for military and national affairs?" Leng Feng was really angry.
"This is still confirmed, not accurate!"
Of course, Liu Jingfu did this kind of thing without leaking it. On the surface, it must have nothing to do with him, and even if he checked, he couldn't find it.
"Master, why don't you send a telegram to Chief Li and ask him to come forward to coordinate. At this time, we cannot act irresponsibly." Xie Jiyuan walked over silently, squatted down, and picked up the porcelain cups that Leng Feng smashed.
No one can remain indifferent when encountering such a thing, but at this time, maintaining restraint is the most important thing, and being angry or getting angry will not help solve the problem.
Leng Feng calmed down. At this time, everything had to be the overall situation first, but if he came forward, it would be useless to find Li Delin. Li Delin could only talk about it, and would give Chiang the handle, thinking that he was suspected of seeking refuge in the Guangxi clan.
He can have a harmonious relationship with the Guangxi clan and a happy cooperation, but he still needs to distinguish between some things and keep a distance so as not to make excuses for Jiang Jiang to suppress himself.
If he directly looked for Lao Jiang, it would be impossible, and the problem could be solved, but for no reason, he felt unhappy.
Didn’t Lao Jiang want to divide him and Luo Yufeng?
This is a good opportunity. Let Lao Luo go directly to find Lao Jiang to see how Lao Jiang responds. Anyway, these four regiments are also planning to supplement the new 38th Brigade.
The transfer order was also informed by the Military Commission, and Chiang Kai-shek should know.
"It is indeed a good move to ask Brigade Commander Luo to complain to Mr. Jiang directly. In this way, it depends on how strong Mr. Jiang supports Brigade Commander Luo."
"Wei Quan, please send a telegram to Lao Luo the situation. How to complain and complain, and I don't need to teach him."
"yes!"
As May begins, the weather in Wuhan is getting hotter and hotter day by day. In addition, the weather is clear, and the people have taken off their heavy cotton coats and put on thin shirts.
After the April 29 air battle, Japanese military aircraft over Wuhan have basically disappeared in the past few days. The Japanese Navy Air Force, which suffered losses, seemed to be bleeding wounds, accumulating strength and preparing for the next revenge.
The battle situation in Taierzhuang is beneficial to GJ. Major and small newspapers in Wuhan have reported it one after another. The battle reports on the front line are sent back from time to time, inspiring the millions of soldiers and civilians in the temporary anti-Japanese command center in Wuhan.
Lao Jiang was in a good mood, and his insomnia for many days was effectively relieved. He slept well last night and had a good appetite in the morning. He made an exception and ate an extra slice of bread.
"Sir, Leng Guoguang called, Honorary First Division recovered Jining last night!"
"Are you sure?" After breakfast, Lao Jiang was still wiping his mouth, and stopped his movements for a moment, and asked in surprise.
"It's certain that there was a sudden heavy rain in Jining last night. The 37th Brigade of the Honorary First Division broke into the city in the evening and fought with the Japanese army until three o'clock in the morning. Only then did they clear the remaining enemies and completely control the situation."
"Okay, okay, Leng Guoguang's move completely disrupted the deployment of the Japanese army. What plans will be next?" Old Jiang was very excited. He insisted on a big battle in Xuzhou. Now it seems that the decision was right. Neither Li Delin nor Leng Feng had disappointed his expectations.
"Due to the heavy rain, the plan to attack Yanzhou may be postponed. However, judging from the current trends of the Japanese army, they have not yet reacted. The Japanese army in Yanzhou City is not strong, so it should be no problem to take Yanzhou." Lin Wei analyzed with a happy face.
"Okay, okay, let's not announce the news of regaining Jining. After taking Yanzhou, we will announce it to the public. We must pay attention to the trends of the Japanese army, especially the situation in Tokyo."
"I get it, sir!"
"Sir, Director Lin is here too!" Lao Jiang's confidential secretary Mao Qingxiang pushed the door and came in.
Lin Wei nodded to Mao Qingxiang. Although the attendant's office was Lao Chiang's staff, it had great power. Mao Qingxiang was also Lao Chiang's confidant, but his relationship was with the Military Commission, and there were many open and secret struggles here.
Lin Wei served as the director of the Military Affairs Bureau as the director of the First Department of the Assistant Office (Dai Yunong had too little qualifications and could only preside over the work as the deputy director).
Dai Yunong and Mao Qingxiang had a long time to fight for power and profit. Although he, the director of the Military Affairs Bureau, was only listed, the chair under his butt was still there.
Therefore, Mao also kept a certain distance from him, not close to him, but not alienated, and the two sides maintained contact with each other at work.
"Sir, the telegram of Brigade Commander Luo Yufeng of the New 38th Brigade." Mao Qingxiang walked to Lao Jiang and whispered.
"What's up?"
“…”
"What did Liu Jingfu want to do when he heard this?" When Lao Jiang heard this, he slapped the table and was furious.
"President, please calm down. The root of this matter is still in Commander Leng Guoguang. When he passed by Zhengzhou, Chairman Liu was kind-hearted..."
"Fuck, can these two things be confused?" Old Jiang cursed with glaring.
“Yes, yes…”
"Call Liu Jingfu immediately and ask what's going on. The war in Xuzhou is in a tight position. He is still doing these things at this time. Does he, the chairman of Henan Province, don't want to do it anymore. If he doesn't want to do it, some people want to do it!" Lao Jiang was really angry.
"Yes, I asked the General Office to call Chairman Liu's office immediately." Mao Qingxiang nodded quickly.
"Qingxiang, Brigade Commander Luo, you should pay more attention and care more, do you understand?"
"clear!"
Lin Wei stood there, looking at the nose and the heart. The situation was already very obvious. After the game of differentiation and winning over by Lao Jiang, Mao Qingxiang was responsible for directly contacting the New 38th Brigade, while Dai Yunong had a good relationship with Leng Guoguang, the Honor Division, and he had always been responsible for communication.
Lao Jiang separated the two, which obviously meant that Luo Yufeng was the one who cultivated the spirit.
Lao Jiang was still a little confused about Leng Feng and used it, but he was somewhat reserved. He supported Luo Yufeng, divided the honorary first division, and then balanced it.
I can’t be familiar with this trick anymore. Isn’t it the same thing in the Huangpu system?
Chiang Kai-shek can always hold the power of the army. If this trick is not good, it will be really bad.
