Leng Feng felt that he was doing the work of the commander now and was fucking the "chairman"'s heart. The chairman was happy? If this continues, something will happen sooner or later.

Leng Feng himself also felt that he would not be very happy with the chairman's heart, but he would still pretend to be very happy, at least he could not give people the impression that he was narrow-minded and could not tolerate his subordinates too good.

Therefore, although Leng Feng always put forward some suggestions that do not meet his personal position, Lao Jiang could still listen, and if he said it right, he could listen.

Of course, only he knows whether he will feel uncomfortable.

"The teacher's seat, the chairman sent us a commendation telegram from Zhengzhou."

"This is meaningless. If he gives some bonuses, I can improve the food for all the officers and soldiers." Leng Feng said with a sigh of relief.

Such commendations will at most be of a little help to the officers and soldiers when they are promoted to military ranks, but in fact, if they are promoted to military ranks, a small commendation will not play much role.

Although Leng Feng defeated the Japanese in a small way, the fifth battle zone could not dispel everyone's doubts.

Many generals in the Fifth War Zone held different views on whether Leng Feng could hold on to Juancheng for three days, among which Deputy Commander Li Heling had the most intense opinions.

He believed that without heavy weapons, a brigade alone could not fight against an elite division of the Japanese army, not to mention that this was a mechanized division, and it was equipped with a large number of heavy weapons.

Compared with the Isogaki Division before the war, it was not bad at all, and it even far exceeded its firepower configuration.

If the Honorary First Division was brought up, it would probably be possible, but now only one-third of them are not equipped yet. On the plains of the horse, what kind of tanks and cannons are resisting others?

Don’t mention that there are planes in the sky to help!

"I think, judging from the current situation, Juancheng will not be dark. At noon today, the Japanese heavy equipment has begun to cross the river. What can Leng Guoguang use to resist the Japanese tanks and heavy artillery?"

"Brother Heling, you are too pessimistic. Although Juancheng is a plain, it has been implemented in Yellow River irrigation for many years, and there are many rivers in the territory, which can be compared with the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River. It is probably not easy for the Japanese army to move south easily."

"If Leng Guoguang cannot stop the Japanese army, then my Longhai line will be in danger. At that time, hundreds of thousands of soldiers will be in danger of being surrounded and annihilated. Who will bear this responsibility?" Li Heling asked.

"Brother Heling, Leng Guoguang's ability and record are still trustworthy. He said that if he can keep for three days, he should be able to keep for three days, right?" Chief of Staff Xu Yanmou stood up to smooth things over.

"He said that if he guards for three days, he can guard for three days. Everyone present is the old man on the battlefield. The enemy is strong and we are weak. Isn't it clear how big the gap is between them?"

"Juancheng is an important town in western Shandong. It has complete fortifications. If you stick to it, it will be no problem for three days!"

"But didn't Leng Guoguang's telegram say that Juancheng has been razed to the ground by the Japanese heavy artillery? It's not the era of cold weapons in the past, and the enemy is far stronger than we imagined!"

"Li Heling, you are disrupting the morale of the army!" Sun Zhen slapped the table and pointed at Li Heling and roared.

"Sun Decao, what I am talking about is the facts. Could it be that telling the truth has also become a disruption of the morale of the army!"

"Everyone, let's not talk about Leng Guoguang's past achievements, but just talk about his predictions of the Japanese army this time. He has clearly reminded us, but why are some people still unwilling to believe that who caused this situation?" Sun Zhen supported Leng Feng at the beginning and firmly opposed the introduction of Sakamoto's detachment and solved it together.

But at that time, many people were blinded by the optimistic situation in front of them and ignored Leng Feng's reminders and even warnings.

Under Tang Keqin's instigation, the original plan of encirclement and annihilation was changed. The Seya Detachment, which was originally at the end of its might, could easily wipe out the Seya Detachment, but what about now?

The Setani Detachment and the Sakamoto Detachment have greatly increased their resistance. It will take more time to achieve the original expected results.

But what the Fifth War Zone lacks most now is time. Although the Japanese army has not cut off the Longhai Road, their plan to encircle is already obvious.

Once hundreds of thousands of elite troops in Xuzhou are dragged down and there is no time to withdraw, the consequences will be unimaginable.

It is not the next order that people can withdraw all of these hundreds of thousands of people. This will take time, and it will take one week.

Bai Jiansheng's face turned red, and a little white. In addition to Lao Jiang's will, he also played a role in fueling the fire, forcing Li Delin to make a decision that was inclined to Tang Keqin.

This decision made Li Delin regret it. If he became tough, he would stand up to Jiang, ignore his old partner's opinions, and act arbitrary once, then it would not be the current situation.

Now that you can't go up or down, this is the most difficult decision. If you take a wrong step, you will lose everything. Li Delin felt the old wound on his right cheek hurt a little, as if a sharp military prick pierced into his mind.

"Sir Li, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Li Delin's face with strange colors, Huang Xuecun hurried over and asked in a low voice.

"It's okay, pour me a glass of water, I have medicine in my pocket!"

"Sir Li, you can't take too much painkiller, it will have side effects." Huang Xuecun said with distress.

"It's okay, after this battle, it's okay if the pressure is not that great." Li Delin shook his head. Today's military meeting was very debated, as always.

"You wait."

"Brother Delin, you are our leader, please make an idea." Bai Jiansheng asked.

"We didn't believe Leng Guoguang last time, and everyone has seen the consequences. This time, if we don't believe him again, what kind of evil consequences will it lead to? The battle has come to this point and give up halfway. Are you willing?" Li Delin swept his eyes and asked with a hint of anger.

"I'm not willing to give up. No matter what the situation of the war, I must fight this battle." Sun Fanglu stood up and said loudly.

"Our Yunnan Army obeys Chief Li's command."

"Captain Tang Army, what about your opinion?" Li Delin glanced at Tang Keqin and asked.

Tang Keqin was the most embarrassing generals attending the meeting. The current situation can be said to be caused by him, and he could not advance or retreat. He had no idea whether he could encircle and annihilate the Segaya Detachment and the Sakamoto Detachment. At least, it seems that the Japanese army still has the ability to resist.

"Sir Li, all the officials, my judgment is that if we fight for three more days, the last strength of the Seya Detachment and Sakamoto Detachment will waste us all. This is a rare opportunity. If we don't fight, I, Mr. Tang, will not be willing to accept it." Tang Keqin thought about it carefully and said.

Tang Keqin just wanted to turn back now, it was too late. If he took the lead in giving up, what would Lao Jiang think of him? At this time, he could only try it.

If you win, you will not only not need to be investigated for your previous mistakes, but you will also get a lot of credit.

Tang Keqin was one of the main forces to encircle and annihilate the Japanese army, and Sun Fanglu and Lu Xiong had also expressed their opinions before, and did not intend to give up easily and wanted to continue.

Whoever wants to slip through the gaps in his fingers has not reached that point yet? Besides, these old people who have been through the battlefield do not know that fighting is not a joke. Once they withdraw in the middle, the consequences will be unpredictable.

Especially when the war reaches this point, they don’t want to fight, what will the officers and soldiers below think?

Li Heling and his team opposed continuing to fight, but they had their own reasons. The pressure on the southern line of Jinpu Road was too great. The Central China Front Army was in full swing, and the more than 100,000 on the southern line could not be stopped. Li Heling's 31st Army was among them. From the beginning of the year to now, it suffered a lot of losses, and almost half of the army was crippled.

This is a soldier of the Guizhou clan. He felt sorry for him. If he fought all this, wouldn’t he have stepped on the Guizhou clan to death?

Therefore, Li Heling's opposition was very tough, and the reasons sounded sufficient, and there was also a thought of designing the Guangxi clan, which both Lao Li and Lao Bai knew.

But if we look at the overall situation of the country and nation level, if we give up or retreat easily at this time, it would be inappropriate and wrong.

A country, a country is ahead of a home. Without a country, how can there be a home?

Li Delin knew very well that if he wanted to smash the Japanese conspiracy, it would be far from enough to evacuate hundreds of thousands of yuan from the Xuzhou area, and he would also have to deal a heavy blow to the Japanese army.

This will inspire the Chinese people's belief in winning the War of Resistance, and in addition, it will delay the Japanese army's next attack on Wuhan.

As for how to evacuate, Old Li knew it. Leng Feng controlled Weishan Lake and had a huge fleet. Even if Longhai Road could not be walked, he could cross from Weishan Lake. With just a division of the Japanese army, they could not do it just like blocking the entire eastern Henan region.

Besides, this is just the last solution. It has not reached that point yet, and the Longhai Railway Line is still under control.

"No matter what Leng Guoguang looks like, our plan to encircle and annihilate the Japanese Seya Detachment and Sakamoto Detachment will not change, but we can advance the final total attack time." Li Delin quietly took a medicine and put it in his mouth, then took the water cup from Huang Xuecun's hand and took a sip.

"Starting a general attack in advance is a good choice."

"If we can defeat the Japanese army in advance, then we will not be nervous."

"Dong De..."

"I understand, you go down first." Li Delin's face changed slightly, and he waved his hand to let Wei Zhiming, the staff officer, go out first.

"Okay, let's drive here first, keep the original plan unchanged, and the total attack will be advanced until 6:30 in the morning on the 14th. Do you have any objections?"

No one spoke again.

"Okay, just decide that, everyone will go back and prepare!" Li Delin announced.

"Brother Delin, Staff Wei came in just now. I see that your face is wrong. Is there something wrong?" Bai Jiansheng walked at the end and stayed to ask.

"Mr. Jiang is coming, just this afternoon, fly directly to Guide and then take a train to Xuzhou."

"Why not fly directly to Xuzhou?"

"The sky above Xuzhou is not safe, and Japanese planes are bombing at any time. Mr. Jiang probably wants to inspect Guide and then come to Xuzhou again." Li Delin analyzed.

"Yeah, it makes sense. Should I arrange some welcome work?"

"Don't make a big fuss, this will cause unnecessary trouble." Li Delin shook his hand, "just determine the departure and arrival time, and let the spy team send people to the train to guard the train."

"Um."

To be continued.
