Chapter seven hundred and ninety-two: siege but not attack
Once the war begins, it means that the arrow is drawn without turning back.
Leng Feng has been preparing for so long, planning openly, secretly, and even doing countless war games. Finally, the battle started in the end. This is the most thrilling thing.
Once the fight starts, Leng Feng will push all the trivial matters to his subordinates. Except for the important and urgent matters, he will be distracted from dealing with them. All his energy is on the mountains and rivers on this sand table.
Cong Hu gave him a good start in Caozhuang, and Leng Feng was naturally very happy. This unexpected victory indicates an excellent start.
Unpredictable means everything.
The secret service regiment is a fist unit of the Honorary First Division, interspersed. It is not difficult to enter the Japanese defense zone, not to mention that the new 40th Brigade has restrained most of the troops of the Sakai Detachment!
He couldn't even do it when Kenji Doihara's order to drain some of his troops to support Puyang.
He transferred all the troops he could use to the forefront of fighting against the Honorary Division, and suddenly wanted to withdraw and adopted a defensive strategy, without giving this conversion time at all.
As Sakura Takashi fought, he also understood that the Chinese began to fight back, and the troops that had fought with them for more than ten days retreated and replaced them with an extremely fierce force.
The weapons, equipment and soldiers of this unit are several times higher than the original unit.
Dai Xu commanded the New 40th Brigade to chase and fight against the Japanese Sakai Detachment, entangling him tightly, so that he would not have the chance to escape. He would intertwine and detour and encircle left and right!
He used all the Japanese army's own usual tactics, and the use was more flexible and more superb than that of the Japanese army.
Sakai Takashi had no choice but to order the troops to stabilize the front and at the same time send a call to Kenji Doihara. He was unable to do anything and could not send troops to reinforce Puyang.
Kenji Doihara received the telegram from Takashi Sakai and sighed a long time. He knew that his order was a bit late and there was no time for Takashi Sakai to execute it.
Once the opponent launches, he will definitely take all his reactions into consideration and will never let Sakai Takashi retreat or divide his troops to support Puyang.
He knew Leng Feng so well. This man had too deep and ruthless. He really didn't understand. He was only in his twenties, so how could he have such a deep scheming?
Now Sakai Takashi cannot defeat him, but he cannot retreat, so he can only hold on.
Kenji Doihara felt a little hesitant at this time, and ordered Takashi Sakai to stay in Juancheng and ensure the safety of the Dongkou Ferry Floating Bridge.
As long as the floating bridge is still in your hands, there is at least a way out.
Kenji Doihara didn't know that when Sakai Takashi sent him a telegram saying that he had not sent a division of troops, Sakai Takashi received a report from his subordinates that an elite Chinese army broke through the Japanese defense line and went deep into the occupied area.
This elite Chinese army has at least five or six hundred people and is carrying heavy weapons.
Sakai's face turned pale suddenly. The Chinese went to Dongkou Ferry, so there was no need to guess. Is there any more important thing in his defense zone than the pontoon bridge at Dongkou Ferry?
You must guard the Dongkou Ferry Floor Bridge, otherwise everything will be over.
Sakai Takashi ordered a squadron of Japanese troops to be removed from the front line and rushed to Dongkou to rescue him quickly. He also immediately ordered the defenders at Dongkou Ferry to be highly alert.
The removal of a squadron will have a great impact on the Japanese army on the defensive.
"Trial seat, Sakai Takashi took off a squadron's troops and headed towards Dongkou."
"It seems that what I expected is not bad. Contact Yang Rui immediately and tell him the information, first attack Sakura Takashi's reinforcements, and then attack Dongkou Town." Leng Feng ordered decisively.
"Aren't you just going to attack Dongkou Town first and send an army to block reinforcements?"
"No, Dongkou Town dares not divide the troops out at all. You can fight at any time. Besides, Takashi Sakai already knows our purpose. It is the same to fight early and late. The reinforcements are different. If they are killed, Takashi Sakai may not be able to send a second team so that we can take Dongkou with peace of mind." Leng Feng explained.
"clear!"
"Guoguang, we still have more troops in our hands. Should we take pictures of a force to support the secret service regiment?"
"No, order the Second Division of the Western Shandong Civil Army to set out from Liangshan County and advance west along the Yellow River to prepare to encircle Juancheng." Leng Feng ordered.
"yes."
"Do you want to eat Sakai's detachment?"
"Yes, I have to force Kenji Doihara to have no way to retreat, so I can only go west and attack Lanfeng." Leng Feng nodded.
"Then is Chief Xue's defense zone. Can we do this?"
"Hu Pengfei, you don't know this. The division leader and Chief Xue have already reached a tacit understanding. The battlefield for encircling and annihilation of Tufeiyuan Division was chosen to be in Lanfeng."
"Lanfeng, the land in that place is barren, and all of them are flat saline-alkali land, which is very suitable for assaults by heavy mechanized corps such as the Doihara Division?"
"If it wasn't for the terrain of Doihara Division, do you think he would go?"
"this……"
"We already have a powerful tool to deal with the heavy mechanized equipment of the Doihara Division. And why we tried our best to destroy their logistics is to turn Doihara's heavy equipment into scrap iron. But human calculations are still not as good as God's. In fact, Kenji Doihara got some oil supplies. However, this gave him the capital to struggle once. If he didn't have the batch of oil supplies in his hand, he might have another choice." Leng Feng explained.
“What choice?”
"Return directly on the same route." Leng Feng said.
"He dare not disobey the orders of the North China Front Command, right?"
"He dares to do this, but he may not be able to achieve this goal, but he will definitely use it as a threat. As for how Sora Tetsuchi will react, it is unknown."
The soldiers were very fast. After receiving the order from Leng Feng, Zhang Zhongling ordered the troops to set off overnight and launched an attack on the selected target early the next morning. He fought all the way. In less than half a day, the vanguard of the New 39th Brigade had already arrived at Puyang City.
There is a Japanese garrison brigade in Puyang, two infantry squadrons, one machine gun squadron (four heavy machine guns), one cavalry squadron and one infantry artillery squadron (four infantry artillery). The total force is only about 800.
The garrison captain named Ando, Nakasa, has a round figure and a pair of glasses. She is very greedy and greedy. This guy also prefers widows, so he can be regarded as a weird guy.
Although Kenji Doihara ordered the Independent Mixed Brigade stationed in Xinxiang to send troops to Puyang urgently, the Japanese army was still one step late. The reinforcements arrived at the intersection and were intercepted by the cavalry led by Liang Dong.
In the Sijianfang area, a Japanese brigade fought a melee with the cavalry detachment led by Liang Dong. The Japanese Mixed Fourth Brigade was adapted from the garrison troops. The field division with less combat effectiveness than the elite was in a hurry to fight, and was beaten back directly by Liang Dong.
The Japanese army retreated to Daokou Town, and Liang Dong was then supported by the local guerrillas who arrived, although he didn't know whose team was fighting against the Japanese.
However, when the anti-Japanese guerrillas in these ten miles of villages heard that they had their own team to fight the Japanese devils and even suppressed the devils to fight, they all came.
Let’s not talk about this paragraph for now, just talk about the battle in Puyang.
Zhang Zhongling rode a white horse all the way across the bridge, and the troops fought all the way to the bottom of Puyang County.
The Japanese army in the city had already received news, closed the city gates and repaired fortifications, and quickly used all the available ones. Puyang was already considered the front line, and anti-Japanese armed forces had come to harass him before, but they were all repelled.
Ando Nakasa did not take this attack seriously. Although Kenji Doihara asked him to be careful in the telegram, he also said that the invading enemy was the elite unit of the Chinese army.
Ando Nakasa has seen the world. He has seen the elite Chinese army, but he really doesn't care about it. Although his subordinates are garrisons, when they meet the so-called elite Chinese army, they still fight the other side to flee in a panic.
But when Ando received the news that the counties occupied by the Japanese army such as Qingfeng, Neihuang and Nanle were captured, he felt a little cautious. This time the Chinese might have come to the real world.
Although the troops garrisoned in these counties are far inferior to Puyang, according to his judgment, the Chinese people's clumsy weapons are not able to conquer them in a short time.
The Chinese chose a good opportunity. The main force of the 14th Division was not in northern Henan, and they took advantage of the opportunity to invade northern Henan at this time.
There were thousands of soldiers attacking these counties, and they launched attacks almost at the same time. It was no wonder that the Japanese defenders in these counties could not stop them and were captured in a short time.
Ando Nakasa didn't feel scared at this moment. After all, the troops he stationed in Puyang far exceeded those of these county towns, and there was no shortage of food and ammunition. The most important thing was that the Sakai detachment on Juancheng on the other side could return to help him at any time.
This is his greatest reliance.
What he didn't know was that his greatest reliance was that Major General Sakai Takashi himself also encountered the biggest crisis since he joined the army, and he was surrounded.
When Zhang Zhongling arrived outside Puyang City, he did not immediately order the attack on the city, but asked the troops to station outside the city first, and slowly surrounded Puyang.
Leng Feng has given orders, and when to attack, he has to wait for orders.
Puyang is a chess piece in Leng Feng's hand, and he will not be able to attack easily until the time comes.
"Call back to the division. I have arrived in Puyang and cannot escape the water surrounding the Puyang city, so that even a fly cannot fly in." Zhang Zhongling observed the Japanese army's defense situation in the north of the city and ordered the combat staff to call on the combat staff.
"yes."
"How is the situation with Chief Liang?"
"Captain Liang trapped a Japanese brigade at the intersection. The nearby anti-Japanese guerrillas rushed to support him. There were nearly twenty, ranging from a dozen to hundreds. Although the combat effectiveness was not very good, they were more familiar with the terrain than us. Moreover, there was absolutely no problem in watching the wind and spying and monitoring the Japanese army. When we entered northern Henan, if there was no help from the Western Shandong Army and local guerrillas, we might not be able to figure out many things."
"Well, you can't underestimate these anti-Japanese guerrillas and guerrilla tactics. They are really useful. The teacher's vision is much better than mine." Zhang Zhongling murmured to himself.
"Teacher's Telegram!"
"The siege and no attack, waiting for orders unless the Japanese army destroys materials again. Leng Feng, May 29, 1:00 p.m.," said Leng Feng.
