On the 25th, early morning, breeze.

The mist dissipates, and a red sun rises slowly from the eastern horizon.

Outside Chengwu County.

Gray torrents surged along the road outside the city, like the tide at high tide, surging in a mighty and turbulent manner, which was a force that washed away everything.

"Enemy, enemy attack..."

The Japanese sentry at the city gate pointed at the gray torrent in horror and screamed.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of "reporting the police" came from all directions, and the Japanese army and some puppet military police who maintained public order woke up from their sleep.

They put on their clothes in panic, picked up their weapons, rushed out of the barracks and tents, and ran towards their respective positions.

Ten minutes later, the first shell landed on the wall of Chengwu County. The shell hit the gate bricks, making a dull explosion sound, and dust wrapped around the greystone.

Although he failed to hurt people, he had already blown up a large gap on the battlement.

These bricks have been gone for hundreds of years and are already in short supply!

"I have actually dispatched two of our main groups to fight such a small city, and one is enough." Cai Jin, who had just been promoted to deputy to the second regiment of the First Brigade, rode on the horse with great enthusiasm.

"Deputy Group, with you here, this little Chengwu County, wouldn't it be taken down by clapping your hands?"

"Stop flattering me. It's good that our battalion can continue to do the first battalion." Cai Jin glared at his deputy, and the battalion commander of the second battalion, said with a glance.

When the first battalion of the 1st regiment and the 1st battalion of the 2nd regiment were held in the 38th Brigade, they were two troops competing with each other. Since Tuman went to the reconnaissance battalion, Li Dongsheng took over as battalion commander. Cai Jin originally thought that in this way, the 1st battalion of the 2nd regiment could crush the 1st battalion of the 1st battalion of the 2nd regiment.

Who knew that this was not the case. When the Sakashi United team surrounded and annihilated Yutai, they still let the first regiment and battalion take the lead and attack the command center of Sakashi first.

Although the results are the same, the previous one and the next made the battalion steal the limelight, and the military achievements recorded are obviously different.

Cai Jin knew at that time that he was going to be promoted to regiment deputy, but the 1st Battalion of the Second Regiment was the troops he brought out, and he was always overwhelmed by the 1st Battalion of the Regiment and Battalion. He was not convinced. Once he was promoted, he would probably have no chance to win once in his hands.

So, he hopes that his successor will win, even once.

"Then Li Dongsheng doesn't think he is a dull man, he is a thief in war..."

"That's right, the soldiers brought by King Cao are different."

"Police Deputy, please speak softly and be careful to let Captain Cao listen."

"What are you afraid of? This time, the reconnaissance battalion will not participate. He will lead the team to carry out other tasks." Cai Jin hummed and said contemptuously.

"Don't talk nonsense when you go back..."

"Deputy Commander, we've scored in!"

"Have you entered?" Cai Jin was shocked. At least a large group of Japanese troops stationed in Chengwu County. They had good combat effectiveness and had relatively strong fortifications. As long as there was enough food and ammunition, it would be no big problem to guard for one or two days.

Of course, if the siege has heavy weapons, it is a different matter.

The question is, how many minutes have you been playing now?

"Deputy Commander, there are not many Japanese troops in the city. We met a small team at the north gate, just twenty Japanese troops. After a little attack, the sharp knife platoon rushed in..."

"Where is the East Gate?"

"I don't know the East Gate yet, and it's probably the same. According to the captured puppet military police, the Japanese army drove out overnight last night, and it seemed to have gone north."

"Why don't we know such important information at all?" Cai Jin was shocked.

“…”

"What, the total Japanese troops in Chengwu County have a total of less than 100 people, what about the others?" Luo Yufeng was extremely surprised. He mobilized troops and generals on his side for a night and mobilized thousands of troops just to capture the county town where less than 100 Japanese troops were stationed?

Is this ridiculous?

"The Japanese army suddenly left last night, and no one was alarmed at that time. They walked from Ximen." The intelligence officer has summarized the information from the frontline or intelligence.

"So, they have already received news that we are planning to regain Chengwu?" Deputy Commander Niu Xianmin said in surprise.

"Where did this Japanese army go? Is there any news now?"

"Not yet, according to the captive puppet troops, the Japanese army began to evacuate around 11 o'clock in the evening, but judging from the silence of their evacuation, they were prepared."

"It was only yesterday evening that we decided to recover Chengwu, completed the deployment, and issued combat orders for about three hours. It is logical that there is little possibility of leaking the information on our side."

"That's the friendly forces of the 46th Division and the Third Army of Cao County?"

"This is possible, but it still needs to be investigated. If the Japanese army received the information and were ready to give up Chengwu, why did they still leave a small army in Chengwu? Is it to confuse our investigators in the city?"

"It doesn't make sense, they will leave after they leave. Even if we get the news, we can't stop it."

"If we get the news of the Japanese retreat, we can ambush halfway. This may be the reason why the Japanese army deliberately left a small team."

"Anyway, I'm really unwilling to let go of this Japanese army!" Luo Yufeng said in annoyance.

"Lao Luo, I think it's unusual here. We must report this situation to Chief Leng immediately." Qin Yankun reminded him seriously.

"Well, I'll report the situation to Leng Feng immediately. I feel a little uneasy. He is smarter than us and should be able to see the Japanese's conspiracy." Luo Yufeng ordered.

"Then Chengwu County?"

"Leave it to the 138th Brigade and order the 1st Brigade to pursue along the traces of the Japanese evacuation." Luo Yufeng ordered, "Be careful. If there is something wrong, retreat immediately and call for support."

"yes!"

"The Japanese army evacuated early, leaving only one small team to do it?" Leng Feng was also a little surprised when he received Luo Yufeng's report. This was indeed beyond his expectations.

What a trick is Doihara Kenji? Is he trying to get a few smoke bombs for you to interfere with his judgment?

Or did he have already made a decision to give up going south to the Longhai Line?

But can he withstand the pressure from the upper class?

No matter why this is, Kenji Doihara's move was obviously a abandonment of Chengwu, and it can also be regarded as a signal that he did not intend to go south to the Longhai Line.

But this may also be a smoke bomb, deliberately making him relax his vigilance.

"Guoguang, I'm completely dizzy. The games you smart people play are so brain-burning. My brain is completely impossible to turn around." Xie Jiyuan said with a wry smile.

"Old Xie, in fact, if I had the strong strength of Doihara Kenji as my backing, I would not be willing to use my brain, so I pushed it over directly. But the problem is that we don't have the strength now, and we can only take the lead against strong enemies." Leng Feng also smiled bitterly, "The problem is that our enemies also like to play with their brains, so this is not fun."

"I would have known what Kenji Doihara is thinking now." Xie Jiyuan smiled.

"I also think that when I catch him, I will split his head and check it out to see what is inside?" Leng Feng said.

"I'm afraid he would think so, right?"

"Returning to Luo Madman, Tu Feiyuan takes time than us, so this may be because of the old suspicion formation, find the Japanese army stationed in Chengwu, and then attack him and recover Dingtao by the way!" Leng Feng thought for a moment and ordered Luo Yufeng.

"OK."

"Report!"

"Come in."

"Teacher, Deputy Brigade Commander Zhang called, the new 39th Brigade has all arrived in Fan County, please ask for instructions on the next action." The communications officer walked in, saluted, opened the folder and reported.

"Let the new 39th Brigade rest first, keep it confidential, and all officers and soldiers are not allowed to go out." Leng Feng thought for a moment and ordered.

"yes!"

"Why don't you attack Puyang immediately so that we can cut off the supply line of the Tukaiyuan Division?" Xie Jiyuan asked.

"If Chengwu's Japanese army evacuated was not because of Dohizuma's suspicion, then he had made a decision and would not go south. If we cut off the supply line in Puyang now, then he would have reason to return to Puyang. In that case, the main force of Dohizuma Division would return to the aid within one day. By that time, we will face Dohizuma Division alone." Leng Feng said.

"According to my inference, his performance of showing weakness on the battlefield in Caozhou is to lure us to launch an active attack on him, so that he has reason to refuse to execute the order to go south. In this way, even if the top Japanese leaders punished him, he could escape some of the blame, and..." Leng Feng himself grabbed the topic.

"What else?" Xie Jiyuan asked curiously.

"It's nothing. If Doihara really has such great courage, then he would be a terrible opponent." Leng Feng let out a long sigh. He really didn't want it to be like that.

Taiyuan, the residence of Kenji Doihirahara.

"Chengwu?"

"Why isn't it Juancheng?" Kenji Doihara frowned when he heard the battle report: "Does Leng Feng want to force me to return the same way?"

"Chief of the division, Chief of Staff Sano asked what to do next?" asked Kenji Doihara's adjutant.

"Call back to Sanojun, and according to the original plan, if the Chinese army takes the initiative to attack, they will step back to the north bank of Wanfu River and defend Dingtao."

"Hay!" The adjutant nodded and went out to send a telegram to Chief of Staff Tadao Yoshino.

Kaifeng, the headquarters of the First Corps.

"Leng Guoguang called, the Japanese army voluntarily gave up Chengwu, and our army recovered Chengwu early this morning."

"It's interesting to give up on your own initiative. Don't Kenji Doihara want to go south to the Longhai Line?" Xue Boling turned around from the map and smiled.

"I think he knows that there is no chance of winning when continuing to move south, so it's better to give up on his own initiative."

"It's not that simple. Doihira is wise and calculating. He is leveraging his strength. Unexpectedly, his situation will be so difficult. We need to use our strength to help him stabilize the situation." Xue Boling smiled.

"Sir Xue, have you seen something?" Wu Xiqi asked curiously.

"Dohira Kenji doesn't want to go south, but he dares not disobey the order of the top peak. At this time, only the obstacles from us can make him have an explanation for the top peak. It's not that he doesn't want to go south, but that he has encountered a tenacious obstacle from our army!"

"Isn't he talking lies with his eyes open?"

"What do you mean by that? It's the one who is talking about it." Xue Boling smiled.

"I understand. Kenji Doihara will make excuses for himself so that he can be exempted from punishment or reduce his responsibilities." Wu Xiqi finally figured it out.

"You have finally gotten enlightened, and you can teach me!"

"Then Leng Guoguang him?"

"He, I understand it earlier than you, and he doesn't want Dohihara to go south to the Longhai Line. If we win, there will be no benefit. At most, it will be a situation where both sides suffer losses, and it will delay the retreat of the fifth war zone." Xue Boling said, "It's a pity that Dohihara Kenji cherishes his feathers and does not have the courage to burn his boats."
