In the early morning, a ray of sunshine shone on Luojia Mountain. The soft sunshine gently caressed her son's face, carefully and gentle.

"Sir, sir..."

"Um?"

A sound came from the room, then it seemed like a sound of turning over, and then there was no movement.

"Director Lin, sir, have not had good sleep these days, and you have to use medicine to sleep. Do you want to wait a little longer? No major incident happened on the front line, right?" Jiang Xiaozhen, the captain of the guard, begged.

"It's nothing, so I'll wait outside." Lin Wei nodded. The Chairman has indeed worked hard for the battle ahead these days, and has to deal with so many military and government affairs. He works until late at night every night. If it were ordinary people, he would have been unable to hold on.

"Please, I'll make you a cup of hot tea?"

"No, Guard Jiang, just don't worry about me." Lin Wei shook his hand slightly and refused to let Jiang Xiaozhen make tea for him. He is not an outsider and doesn't have to be so arrogant.

Jiang Xiaozhen nodded and grew up in the official residence. Although some people have different positions, they don’t have so many rules when getting along with each other.

Lin Wei sat on the sofa outside for nearly an hour before he heard a slight cough coming from inside. He hurriedly stood up, walked over, and stood at the door from afar waiting.

The last time I stood too close, almost scared the Chairman. This time I had to learn from my lessons.

"Weiwen, here we come!" Old Jiang came out in his pajamas. He was not surprised to see Lin Wei, and he gave a casual order.

"Sir, Honorary Division 1 cold..."

"Wait for a moment." Old Jiang reached out to stop Lin Wei from speaking and greeted an eunuch, "Pour me a cup of warm water and I rinse my mouth."

The eunuch nodded, walked out quickly, and soon came in with a glass of warm water.

Lao Jiang picked up the water cup and opened his mouth and took a sip. The guard quickly handed over a spittoon. Lao Jiang rinsed three sips of water in a row, spit it in the spittoon, wiped his mouth with a towel, and said "Thank you" to the eunuch.

"What's the matter with Leng Guoguang? Tell me." Jiang then sat down slowly.

"The Leng Guoguang telegram said that the Japanese troops in Teng County broke through last night!"

"Why didn't there be any reports on the Breakout in the Fifth War Zone?"

"The report of the Fifth War Zone should be coming soon." Lin Wei said, "Rensuke Isotani died of sleep in Fuji Prefecture. He conspired with Kenji Doihara to break through."

"Breakthrough plan?" Old Jiang was slightly stunned. He couldn't think of what the relationship between Kenji Doihara and Ryosuke Isotani was. The two were a few hundred kilometers apart and were separated by Weishan Lake.

"We all thought that Kenji Doihara sent this side division to the south to head at a certain point on the Longhai Railway Line. In fact, he didn't know that. He used a trick to hide the truth. The purpose was to make us believe that his purpose was to cut off the Longhai Road, join the Japanese army in China, and achieve the goal of cutting off our supply line and preventing our Xuzhou army from retreating west. In fact, otherwise, he was heading for the Western Shandong and the Honorary Division."

"Why did he do this?"

"He has three reasons for doing this. First, our army is densely covered with Longhai line. Not only can this partial division not achieve his combat goals, but it is very likely that we will eat it in one fell swoop. This is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg. Second, he has a personal grudge with Leng Guoguang. In Nanjing, he was deceived by Leng Guoguang, and he was chased by him and almost became a prisoner. Third, Luxi is empty. This is a good opportunity to disrupt our layout and win the initiative in the war."

"He must have mastered our defense on the Longhai Line, otherwise he would never change the combat plan formulated by their base camp without authorization."

"In the battle of Taierzhuang, our army defeated the Japanese army, and the Japanese army would inevitably disagree. At this time, the Japanese generals on the front line would inevitably be at a loss. Kenji Doihara seized this opportunity and took action decisively. This person is our powerful opponent." Lin Wei solemnly analyzed.

"Continue talking."

"Tihirahara Kenji's goal is Jining and even Yanzhou, but the strength of his partial army is not enough, so he plans to rescue the remaining soldiers of Isotani Ryosuke from Fuji Prefecture first."

"Save Resuke Isotani Ryosuke, isn't he crazy?"

"No, Kenji Doihara was not crazy. He designed an unimaginable plan, but this plan was learned by Leng Guoguang. He used the trick and set up a final kill first. The 10th Division of Isotani Ryosuke had disappeared at this moment." Lin Wei said.

"Isoya Ryosuke died?"

"No, Isotani Ryosuke and most of the senior officers of the 10th Japanese Division were captured. As for the remaining soldiers under his command, it is said that the entire army was wiped out."

"What?" Lao Jiang was shocked and took a breath.

"Sir, I'm not very clear about the specific situation. This is a telegram sent by Leng Guoguang." Lin Wei took out a telegram and handed it to Lao Jiang respectfully.

Lao Jiang took the telegram and quickly browsed it. This time the telegram reported a lot, so there were three pieces of paper. After Lao Jiang read all the content, he looked a little surprised and said to himself: "Incredible, really incredible, how did he do this Leng Guoguang and how did he do it?"

"Sir, do you want Leng Guoguang to write a detailed report and submit it?" Lin Wei asked in a low voice.

"Chairman, Minister He and Minister Chen are here." The attendant knocked in the door and reported.

"Let them wait a moment, I will wash and put on my clothes." Lao Jiang ordered.

"Sir, then I'll take my leave first." Lin Wei stood up and said.

Old Jiang nodded. He did take some time to digest the information obtained from the telegram and capture Lieutenant General Isogaya Risuke, the commander of the 10th Division of the Japanese Army, and dozens of officials and subordinates, alive. This was an amazing victory, although it was a little worse than the Taierzhuang victory.

But if this news is announced, it will definitely shock the world even more than the great victory in Taierzhuang.

A weak country wins a strong country, which is extremely difficult in itself, although it is a temporary victory and cannot control the entire situation of the war.

But if the commander of the battle to capture the other party alive, it will have a different meaning. This is rare in the history of war, especially when the final war is not yet clear.

It is quite difficult to capture the opponent's highest commander alive on the battlefield, and the Japanese army believed in the spirit of samurai swords was a kind of crazy dedication. A senior general like Isotani Ryosuke would never let himself fall into the hands of the enemy if he was not unable to resist.

You know, it is difficult to capture ordinary Japanese prisoners, let alone a lieutenant general division commander? Will a Japanese soldier who regards honor as life make himself a prisoner?

Xuzhou, the commander-in-chief of the Fifth War Zone.

After receiving Leng Feng's telegram, Li Delin was also frightened and thought Leng Feng was joking with him. However, soon the news from the Sichuan Army also came back.

Last night, they cooperated with the Honorary Division to carry out a secret operation, the code name of the operation: Snake Catching.

This was a secret operation between the Sichuan Army and the Honorary First Division. Before the operation, the commander-in-chief of the Fifth War Zone was not informed at all. Therefore, Li Delin had no idea.

Of course, even if he knows, he will agree, not to mention that at this time, he is busy adjusting the war zone troops and retreat plans.

The Sichuan Army only cooperated with this "snake catcher" operation, and even Sun Zhen did not know the specific content. However, out of unconditional trust in Leng Feng and the Honorary First Division, he agreed without any hesitation.

However, the result of this "snake catcher" operation scared Sun Zhen, and he silently destroyed thousands of Japanese soldiers and captured senior Japanese generals such as Isotani Ryosuke.

"Brother Delin, this is not true, right?"

"Don't you think this telegram is fake, do you?" Li Delin looked at Bai Jiansheng with a smile. Liu Weizhang left. After the battle in Taierzhuang was over, he was recalled by Chiang Kai-shek. The military command in Wuhan was in trouble, and the several directors under him were not responsible at all.

"This is really shocking. How did Leng Guoguang do this?"

"If you ask me, I don't know either. I have a gentleman agreement with him. I will not interfere with his command in Luxi. I just need to be happy before or afterwards." Li Delin smiled, "But now, I don't know that people are not under my control, so I don't know."

"Brother Delin, do you trust him so much?"

"I don't trust him for his ability and record, who do I trust?" Li Delin put down the teacup in his hand and said, "If Taierzhuang had a great victory, would we have achieved such a great victory without him?"

"To be honest, your trust in him exceeds that of our children of the Guangxi clan." Bai Jiansheng said sourly.

"Leng Guoguang may be our future." Li Delin said leisurely.

"Brother Delin, you can't say this to outsiders..." Bai Jiansheng was shocked. If this was spread, it would be in big trouble.

"It's okay, just be sure you and I know it in my heart." Li Delin glanced at Bai Jiansheng sideways.

"Is it a bit too early to talk about this? He still has a long way to go?" Bai Jiansheng was also silent. He didn't expect Li Delin to think so far.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. How is the retreat plan formulated? It will be decided today and you can't delay it anymore." Li Delin said solemnly.

"It's almost OK, but the superiors really decided to give up Xuzhou?"

"You, don't have any fantasies. Next we are facing crazy revenge from the Japanese army, and Xuzhou cannot be defended." Li Delin said.

"Oh, it's such a pity." Bai Jiansheng sighed.

"Only with giving up can you gain. This time we have already given the Japanese army a heavy blow, one has risen and the other has declined. Although the Japanese army still has an advantage in absolute power, as long as we can win such a few more times, the situation will be different." Li Delin said.

"I'm afraid it won't be what we thought."

"Don't worry, as long as we can stop fighting in the internal affairs of our own people, it is impossible for Japan to occupy China."

May 18, 27th year of the Republic of China at 9:00 a.m.

Standing on the head of Caozhou, Kenji Tohihara looked at him, full of confidence. After today, people all over the world will know his name, and his name will be recorded in the history of the war history of the Imperial Japanese Army.

There will be a position in the future marshal's seat!

In less than three hours, under the personal command of Kenji Doihara, the main force of the 14th Division captured Caozhou City. The Chinese defenders in Caozhou City retreated in a hurry and retreated to the front line of Liulin River to build defense.

"The division commander, the Chinese army guarding the city is vulnerable, General Toshima Yataro requests investigation!"

"No, order General Toshima to stop chasing!"

"Second Commander, why is this? Our army is now full of momentum, and is a good opportunity to pursue the enemy?" Chief of Staff Tadao Yoshino understood.

"Order the Ishiguro Brigade of the 2nd Regiment of the Army to lead the headquarters to march towards Hiroo!" Kenji Doihara smiled coldly and ordered the staff officer.

"Teacher Commander..."

"This is an order, go now!"

"Hayi!"

Chief of Staff Tadao Yoshino suddenly understood that his division commander was the Honorary Division, and he did not take the command of the headquarters seriously. In other words, in his heart, the value of cutting off the Longhai Road is far less than eliminating an Honorary Division.

"Second Commander, you have repeatedly disobeyed the orders of the Front Command. Please think twice!" Sano Tadaoyi stood attentively and put his legs together, and a solemn reminder.

"I know, but I'm doing what I think is worth doing. The battle of Taierzhuang failed and the empire has lost the opportunity to surround the Chinese J in Xuzhou. Even if we cut off the Longhai Road now, we may not be able to stop them from retreating. The only way to break the deadlock now is to use tooth for tooth and blood for blood to annihilate their most elite honorary first division!" Kenji Doihara's eyes flashed fiercely.

"I understand."
