Chapter 650: Conquering Zoucheng
"This person is called Bian Yenan, a Korean, about 30 years old, battalion commander of the Zoucheng puppet army security regiment. Your task is to contact him and assist him in carrying out armed actions anyway!"
After sleeping for a whole morning, Wang Bin came to Leng Feng to take up the task. Leng Feng took out a black and white photo from a sealed file bag and handed it over and said.
"How could he come to Shandong from the Korean race?"
"In order to master the local puppet army, the Japanese army specially selected some politically strong officers from the Northeast to come to Shandong to enrich the local public security puppet army, and Bian Yenan is one of them." Leng Feng explained.
"How did Bian Yenan contact us?"
"Six years ago, he was engaged in the anti-Japanese struggle in Shanghai. At that time, he was not the name. The Fuxing Society was very interested in their actions and supported them in terms of weapons and intelligence. He also participated in the Hongkou Park explosion. In order to escape the Japanese's pursuit, he fled back to North Korea. Later, he went to the Northeast, changed his name and joined the North Korean pioneer group formed by the Japanese. Later, the Japanese recruited soldiers and recruited him..."
"So this person's experience is so tortuous. How did she contact us?" Wang Bin asked strangely.
"The situation here is quite complicated, so don't know too much. In short, your task is to connect with this person and help him master the puppet army in Zoucheng. Prepare anyway, you only have one night and the time is quite tight. Do you understand?"
"Since you have to do it anyway, then Bian Yenan has not prepared in advance?"
"Of course, there are not many problems with his battalion. There are also several puppet army officers who are swaying. The biggest problem is that Xiang Bengui, the commander of the puppet security regiment. This person is not a hardcore traitor, but he is not a good person. Moreover, he has worked as a soldier in the Third Army before, and is a guy with breasts and mothers. If he doesn't agree anyway, or even if he agrees, he will play tricks behind his back, you understand what to do!"
"Master, I know, don't worry!"
"Before dark, I will take your brothers to Zoucheng. I will ask you to drive to you. After reading the materials, remember them, and then send them back." Leng Feng ordered.
“This photo?”
"You keep it, this is the token of your connection, otherwise people would not believe that you were the one we sent here." Leng Feng explained.
"yes!"
Wang Bin took the task and left quickly.
"Where is Hu Bagui's cavalry regiment?"
"Activities are in Changping Mountain and Sangyu River." said intelligence counselor Hu Yanan.
"Call out the information of the Japanese army in Zoucheng to me."
"yes!"
About seven or eight minutes later, Hu Yanan walked in with some files from outside: "Reporting the division seat, the information of the Japanese army in Zoucheng is here."
"I won't look at it. You can briefly talk about the key points. The Japanese army in Zoucheng has the strength and equipment and deployment!" Leng Feng raised his head slightly and ordered.
"Since we captured Jining and Yanzhou, Ryosuke Isotani has strengthened his defense against Zoucheng. Currently, there is a Japanese brigade (negative squadron), a heavy machine gun squadron, an artillery squadron, and a cavalry squadron and some baggage units in Zoucheng, with a total force of about 1,500."
"Where are the puppet troops and the police?"
"The security group of the puppet army, the security brigade and the detective team of the police, have about 1,000 people. The Japanese army is equipped with field troops, but some are newly recruits just added. In addition, the 4th Field Hospital of the 10th Division of the Japanese Army is also located in Zoucheng, with about 300 or 400 wounded soldiers..."
"Okay, I understand. You can summarize these situations and write a simple summary and submit it."
"Yes, teacher!"
Leng Feng knew that when he adopted his own plan, there must be gains and losses. Taking Yanzhou first will inevitably lose the opportunity to occupy Zoucheng.
But he had to do this, otherwise there would be no room for the next maneuver of the Honor Division to laugh. If he occupied Zoucheng first and then attacked Yanzhou, it would be much more difficult.
The Japanese army strengthened the power of Zou County, which in disguise weakened the power to support the Taier Zhuangseya Detachment, which was also a kind of support.
Originally, Zoucheng was the rear of the Japanese army, and only one squadron of Japanese troops stationed in can ensure safety. Now, a brigade or even more troops must be needed.
Moreover, they could only hide in the city and dare not take the initiative. They also had to ensure the safety of railway and road transportation, even if their supplies could no longer be received.
Zoucheng must be taken.
Jining, Yanzhou, and Zoucheng, this is like a three-point support point in a triangle. Anyone who has studied physics knows that the three-leg support is the most stable.
And the cold front needs such a stable triangular angle.
These three corners are located at important nodes of roads, railways and canals (waterways). Except for the sky, it is basically impossible for the Japanese army to move quickly or rush to Taierzhuang to help.
When the Japanese army occupied Shandong, they moved forward with two legs. One was the Jinpu Line and the other was Qingcheng. Of course, what they wanted to occupy was the Longhai Line, but now this line is still in the hands of GJ.
The Jinpu Line is a very important railway, one of the major arteries in the north and south, and is very important. Why the Japanese deliberately wanted to open it up? It is self-evident.
The cold front is about to get stuck here, like a fish bone lying across a person's throat, unable to enter or out.
Now Leng Feng has ruined one of his legs. Although one leg can move, it is born to be lame and shorter. However, if it connects the broken section, it may become a complete leg, and the situation is likely to turn the tables.
This is something Leng Feng is extremely worried about.
This war is not just about what to do if I win, but about what to do if I lose, what to do if I lose and how to remedy it?
"Second, Deputy Chief of Staff Liao called. He went to Xuzhou tonight and sent the four regiments to the New 38th Brigade early tomorrow morning. I asked, should he stay in the New 38th Brigade or come to Jining?"
"After handover, I'll get out immediately, I'll be short of people here." Leng Feng was still hesitant.
"yes!"
After going down No. 6, the long-awaited heavy artillery regiment and artillery regiment finally arrived at the Taierzhuang battlefield. The two heavy artillery regiments launched a fierce shelling attack on the Japanese army.
The scene was so spectacular.
The captain Fukuei Mahei, who was responsible for the blocking of Qianyan, was hit by a shell and almost buried alive. When someone took him out of the ruins, half of his life was lost!
A heavy artillery regiment suddenly emerged from the squadron, which killed and injured the Japanese army.
“Retreat, retreat…”
Fukuei Mahei's troops retreated three kilometers in one breath, which made Seya Kit angry. When he learned that the front line troops were bombarded by heavy artillery in the squadron, he sighed deeply.
It doesn't matter if Fukuei Masahira retreated. The gradually stable front began to shake the entire line again. At this time, Setani Kei had to give up some positions and shrink his defense in an all-round way.
Simply put, the distance between Setani Kei and his Sakamoto detachment who came to rescue him was four or five kilometers away, and the distance was even further away.
Sakamoto Sora received a notice from Setani Kei and was so angry that he was half angry. He came to save the person with great effort. The person who was rescued was better, so he retreated first.
Shun Sakamoto was so angry that he sent a telegram to Seishiro Itagaki, saying that he was about to meet Segaya Detachment. This guy retreated first. He didn't want to fight anymore. There were more and more squadrons around him, and the way for the back was blocked. He wanted to go home!
Seishiro Itagaki thought that Shun Sakamoto had successfully joined the Segaya detachment. After receiving a telegram from Shun Sakamoto, he was so surprised that he couldn't believe it was true?
What did this guy Sakamoto Shun do before?
In fact, it is not a question from Shun Sakamoto. This unspoken rule of reporting good news but not bad news was invented by the Chinese. The Japanese are deeply influenced by Chinese culture, and they have also learned this.
For the Japanese army, the forces of Taierzhuang were suddenly unbalanced, and the situation deteriorated sharply. Isotani Risuke was anxious, the Second Army was anxious, and the North China Front Army was anxious. They could not sit idly by and watch the Sega Detachment be wiped out by the Zhonggj team, and there could no longer be a second 16th Division or 13th Division.
Seishiro Itagaki's order to Ru Sakamoto was that he had to meet with the Segaya detachment, and Segaya Kiyo also received the order from the Akisuke Isotani and had to move closer to the Sakamoto detachment at all costs.
In desperation, the Seya Detachment reorganized its forces to attack Lanling Town. Shun Sakamoto also concentrated his strength to break through Lanling Town's defense.
The two Japanese troops fought desperately to get closer, and this intention was very obvious, that is, to combine two into one.
The life of the Sakamoto Detachment is relatively better than that of the Segaya Detachment. Although his retreat was also raided, there is also a powerful main force of the Japanese 5th Division behind it, which can defeat the blocking squadron at any time.
The Segaya Detachment was no longer possible. Although Isogaya Risuke mobilized his troops to do his best to rescue him, facing the strong GJ, he could only slightly delay the time when the shackles on his neck were trapped.
The Fifth War Zone General Staff had a great controversy over the next step of deployment. Some of them suggested that the Setani Detachment and the Sakamoto Detachment should not be allowed to meet and separate them. Those who should be blocked will continue to fight and those who should be narrowed will continue to narrow the encirclement according to the original plan.
Keep the established plan unchanged.
Another member believed that the situation had changed and the deployment of the war zone should also respond to the changes. Tang Keqin had suggested before that he could open a hole and let the Sakamoto Detachment come in, and one sheep was also put in, and two sheep were also driven. The Tasakamoto Detachment did not have a large number of 5,000 people, and the surrounding GJ forces could be transferred to the periphery to form a larger encirclement, or mobilized troops from other places to maintain an absolute advantage in force!
The previous suggestion was not very popular, mainly because Lao Tang was too arrogant and looked down on these miscellaneous soldiers, so the local generals naturally resisted him from the bottom of their hearts.
Now, the strength of the GJ that besieged the Seya Detachment has increased greatly, with two artillery regiments added, one of which is the heavy howitzer regiment, and the new 38th Brigade has also added a large number of troops and has been resurrected almost in full blood.
The generals in the Fifth War Zone were all very confident, and even if they had an extra Sakamoto detachment, they could eat it.
If one or two people suggest this, Li Delin will not consider it at all, but most people tend to be more inclined to this, especially his old partner. Bai Jiansheng seems to agree with this plan, and Liu Weizhang does not object.
This made Li Delin feel deeply embarrassed, and he was still a little hesitant about Leng Feng's judgment.
If Leng Feng's judgment is correct, he will never let the Sakamoto Detachment and the Setani Detachment be combined into one, then the problem will be serious.
At least the order issued by the Military Commission will not be able to eliminate the Seya Detachment before May 10.
Moreover, if the two Japanese troops merge into one, it will inevitably delay the battle. Once the Japanese army really intends to encircle Xuzhou, it will be defeated by the Japanese army's conspiracy to use the Seya Detachment to delay hundreds of thousands of GJs in the Xuzhou area.
What the Japanese army lacks the most now is time. Given time, they can mobilize more troops from the country or the Northeast to Xuzhou.
If he can't evacuate at that time, and it's not easy to fight, he, the commander of the Fifth War Zone, will be completely waxed!
Leng Feng naturally knew the sound of the fifth battle zone. Whether it was Li Delin or Luo Yufeng, there were telegrams directly to him. Leng Feng actually did not participate too much in the deployment of the Taierzhuang Battle.
However, Seya Detachment is obviously at its end. If he is allowed to join forces with Sakamoto Detachment at this time, the consequences will be very serious.
Seya Kit has received support, and there will be a huge boost in both material and spirituality. In this way, the longer the Seya Detachment will support it.
The Japanese army will continue to provide him with assistance through airdrops. Even if the GJ Air Force sacrifices its attacks, it will not be able to make up for the gap brought about by its strength.
The core of the Japanese Base Camp's combat order No. 84 is: seduction!
Using the Setani Detachment and the Sakamoto Detachment as bait, hundreds of thousands were attracted around it, forming a huge encirclement, and then the Japanese army formed another encirclement from outside.
When the outside encirclement is completed, even if the bait is eaten, it will no longer matter.
The most important thing in the fifth zone now is to eat the bait as fast as possible, first eat the Seya detachment into its stomach, and then jump out by itself.
Simply put, eat it and leave!
This is a very bold strategy. If the Japanese army is really completed, it can not only rescue the siege of Seya Detachment, but also eat the gj that is constantly transferred into the fifth war zone.
Leng Feng noticed that Wuhan did not stop mobilizing troops to the fifth zone, but instead mobilized troops from other places to the fifth zone from afar.
Shi Yousan's 69th Army, Zhou Pinshan's 75th Army...
It was probably because the siege of more than 20,000 Japanese troops that stimulated our military committee chairman. He wanted to have a big fight with the Japanese army in Xuzhou area, right?
Li Delin was under great pressure, and Lao Chiang's intention was very obvious. He must win the Taierzhuang battle, and he must continue to pursue the victory. He transferred his troops to the fifth war zone, with the purpose of winning a bigger victory in the future.
It would be even more perfect if the Japanese army could be driven out of Shandong and restored the situation before the war.
In this way, the Japanese army in central China became an isolated army. Maybe it won’t take long before he can return the capital to Nanjing.
Chapter completed!
