Chapter 793: The Genius Doihara(1/2)
"Why do you surround the throne without attacking?" Leng Feng gave this order, and many of the staff officers in the Staff Office were not understood, so they naturally had to ask questions.
Leng Feng allowed them to ask questions when they didn't understand. Many things that cannot be learned in textbooks can only be improved in actual combat. He gave high high expectations to the group of young staff members under his command.
These young people were selected by him personally, and they were all flexible people. They stayed by their side to guide and listen to them, and hoped to cultivate a group of talents who could be used, created and able to stand on their own.
"Your division is to take one step in the war, look at three steps, keep Puyang not to fight, and have three meanings. First, look at Kenji Doihara's reaction. If Kenji Doihara desperately returns to Juancheng, this means that he has not made a complete decision and has not been forced to that position, then your division will immediately order to capture Puyang to cut off the retreat of Tuyuhara. Second, surrounded the points to help. The usual method of your division is not new. The importance of the Puyang stronghold is that a batch of important logistics supplies is stored in Puyang City. If this batch of materials falls into the hands of our army, it will be different. The Japanese army will not give up this batch of materials easily and take the opportunity to consume the strength of the Japanese army in northern Henan. This is the second meaning of the division. As for this third..." Chief of Staff Xie Jiyuan kept a secret.
"Selection, what is the third thing? Tell me quickly?" Some advisers became anxious.
"I only thought of the second point, I really didn't expect this first..."
"I really didn't expect this first point, the second point is a little bit, and there is a third point..."
Leng Feng pinched his nose and laughed. Xie Jiyuan really knows how to single the taste. To be honest, he only figured out the third level when he gave orders.
“Third, third…”
"Since you, just say, don't keep it in your mouth."
"I can't say this third, Guoguang, let's talk about it. You know what you are thinking best." Xie Jiyuan smiled.
"Okay, let me say." Leng Feng smiled and said, "That's the third one, I want to keep Puyang and not fight, but to see how uncomfortable Kenji Doihara."
"It's uncomfortable?" Everyone was confused when they heard this.
"Master, what's the reason?"
"Actually, the first two are enough. This third point is just a coincidence. Unfortunately, I can't see Kenji Dohira in a dilemma and having that entangled face, otherwise it would be wonderful." Leng Feng said regretfully. Puyang was a piece of meat, so it was up to him to throw it away.
"Hahaha……"
"The division seat, Commander Yang, telegram, ambushed a Japanese squadron in Xingtun and went to Dongkou to support him. They found that there was only one intelligence first. The Japanese troops defending Juancheng were less than one squadron, which means that Juancheng is now very empty."
"Master's seat, Juancheng is empty, can we take the opportunity to take it down now?"
"The opportunity is rare. Now the main force of the Japanese Sakai Detachment has been entangled by our new 40th Brigade and cannot advance or retreat. It is a good opportunity to attack and capture Juancheng." Long Yingqin said.
"Okay, the opportunity has come. If you don't seize it, you're too sorry for yourself. You ordered the heavy artillery regiment to enter the position and told Dai Xu that we will launch an attack on the Sakai Detachment in advance." Leng Feng immediately stopped.
"yes!"
"Our army launched an attack on Sakai Detachment. Kenji Doihara will definitely send troops back to the rescue. Has the New 36th Brigade arrived at the scheduled location?"
“It has arrived!”
"Okay, pass my orders and block the enemy for at least eight hours, and buy time for our troops to encircle and annihilate the Sakai Detachment." Leng Feng ordered.
"yes!"
"It's 1:40 now, and it takes at least twenty minutes for heavy artillery to enter the position. The troops will coordinate and ensure smooth communication. Then the general attack time is set at 2:30. How about it, Lao Xie?"
"Do you coordinate with the frontline commanders and listen to their opinions?"
"Okay, please ask their opinions now!"
Frontier Command of the New 40th Brigade.
"The total attack is in advance, at 2:30, call back to the division seat. There is no problem with the new 40th Brigade!" Dai Xu solemnly ordered that the troops were all on standby, and now they are just entangled in the Japanese Sakai Detachment and prevented him from running away.
Shiji Town, the temporary command post of the New 36th Brigade.
"It's about to start. I call Commander Leng back and say that our new 36th Brigade will never drag the entire division down and ensure that the task is completed. Before the Sakai Detachment was destroyed, the Japanese reinforcements would not want to pass by me!" Sun Zhongren was so arrogant that he was so arrogant.
Although he only had two regiments, he was all the most elite soldiers. Even if the Doihara Division came all over, he was confident that he would block the Japanese army for a day and a night.
He had a magic weapon to deal with Japanese tanks. When he was in Dan County, he had already tried it, although he was not carrying many.
But the number of Japanese tanks was only so many, and there were no more than twenty that could be divided to rescue Takashi Sakai, and there were more than twenty rockets they carried.
This time it was completely enough.
Kaifeng, the headquarters of the First Corps of East Henan.
"So soon, Leng Guoguang is going to attack Sakai Takashi?"
"Yes, Leng Guoguang Telegram said that the time is ripe. Two brigades of the Honor Division have aggravated artillery regiments. There is no problem in packing the Sakai Detachment. If he doesn't put any pressure on Doihara, he will not change his course easily."
"Report!"
"Come in!"
"The 71st Army Commander Song Yin** reported that Kaocheng discovered the Japanese reconnaissance cavalry, and contacted our army. After a small-scale fire exchange, he retreated. Commander Song judged that the Japanese army was likely to be testing our reaction."
"It seems that Kenji Doihara has made a decision. The road to go back will not be able to go. He wants to follow our path." Xue Boling stared at the sand table and said.
"Everything was as expected by Chief Xue!"
"I ordered the 71st Army of Song Yin Kingdom, if the Japanese army attacked, they would not fight hard, and retreat. Our purpose was to hold him back and waste him to death. The Japanese had stronger attack ability than us, so we could not fight hard. We would find ways to slow down their attack speed and consume their gasoline." Xue Boling said.
"Captain Xue, it is not easy to slow down the Japanese attack. Kenji Doihara brought a professional boat bridge unit. This is a mountain that opens mountains and builds bridges when encountering water. We are not as good as that."
"No matter how powerful he is, we only need to drag it for three days. He has a tank, don't we have one too?"
"Three days?"
"Are you really a commander of me, the commander of the First Corps in East Henan?" Xue Boling smiled.
"You've prepared a killer move?"
"Of course, I've brought the old man's heart to you. You understand now, right?" Xue Boling smiled.
"Du Guangting's 200th Division?"
"You think beautifully, a tank battalion and a war defense artillery battalion. They have just received Soviet tanks and are not yet skilled. They have only been training for less than a month. If they hadn't dealt with the Doihara Division, the old man wouldn't have been willing."
"Do you Du Guangting come?"
"Of course he got it, I don't understand tank tactics. However, Leng Guoguang is proficient in tank tactics. He has an elite armored brigade. I heard that this time he shines in the Taierzhuang battle."
"So, have you had a chance to see it?"
“There will be a chance.”
"You can let Brother Bo Hao's 64th Army move to the inner and outer lines. The 74th Army strictly guards Lanfeng, and at the same time deploys heavy troops at Chenliukou to closely monitor the Japanese army on the other side."
"Captain Li Bohao's urgent telegram!"
"read!"
"At around 1:40 pm on the 29th, a Japanese cavalry rushed to Neihuang and Yejigang, and destroyed a section of Longhai Railway. The transfer personnel and materials from Guide were suspended. Commander of the 64th Army, Li Bohao."
“When will the railway be repaired?”
"It will take about a day."
"Kenji Doihara has finally arrived and ordered all the troops on the front line to be on high alert. This time the Japanese army will come, and they will definitely be thunderous and burn their boats. They must withstand the first wave of attacks and ensure the safety of the Longhai Railway Line." Xue Boling ordered sternly.
"yes!"
"I ordered Yu Liangzhen's 74th Army to garrison Yifeng and send cavalry eastward for investigation and early warning. I judged that Kenji Doihara would come and would definitely divide his troops into two groups, one along the direction of Kaocheng, and the other along the Tieluji to the Inner Huang, and the Minquan area was detoured, trying to cut off our Longhai Railway and attack Lanfeng in a roundabout way!" Xue Boling said.
"Then the Japanese army achieved the strategic goal of cutting off our Longhai Railway Line?" A staff officer asked in confusion.
"This is just a transit. Cutting off the Longhai Railway Line, at least one important node city on this railway line needs to be occupied, such as Guide, otherwise we only need to drive them away, and the railway line will be easily restored." Xue Boling explained.
"Do you want to inform Leng Guoguang of the situation?"
"Of course, we need Leng Guoguang to help us hold up some of the troops of Dohihara." Xue Boling said, "As long as Dohihara Kenji comes out of Caozhou City, he will be unable to help."
"yes!"
Caozhou, the 14th Division Command.
"You guys, our troops are in an extremely dangerous situation. In the east, the first honorary division of the Chinese army, the new 38th Division is launching a fierce attack on our troops. In the west, the first 1st Corps of the Chinese army in the east of Henan are slowly approaching me. If we stop acting, we will be attacked by the Chinese army in Caozhou. The most elite mechanized corps of our great Japanese empire were actually attacked by the poorly equipped Chinese army on this plain. What a shame it would be!" Kenji Doihara slammed the table with anger.
The attendees all showed angry and unwilling eyes.
"Your Excellency the Division Commander, please give the order that our troops will definitely not keep the Chinese killed! "
"Since my 14th Division crossed the Yellow River south, I have suffered setbacks everywhere. I think you should take a great responsibility, commander of the division!" Maeda Hiroshi, the commander of the 1st Brigade of the Heavy Artillery, stood up and accused him with great dissatisfaction.
"Maeda, I will take my responsibility, but now, we must work together to overcome difficulties." Kenji Doihara said expressionlessly. He knew that some people were dissatisfied with his failure to obey the base camp's orders, but he was also for the 14th Division, not for him personally.
These people don’t understand their hard work, so they will naturally not understand and become dissatisfied with him.
"I think we must make a quick decision now, go south to capture Guide, and cut off the retreat of the Chinese army, so that we can explain the base camp."
"Maeda, how can you go south?"
"It is naturally not possible to go south directly. I think we can rush to the west side by side. In the Huangji and Yejigang, we will first destroy the Longhai railway line, and then attack Guide along the railway line, catch the Chinese off guard. With our current oil and ammunition supply, we can capture and occupy Guide." Hiro Maeda said solemnly.
"What then?" Kenji Doihara asked expressionlessly.
"Then..." Maeda Hirori was exhausted, and then, he never thought about it. He was the commander of the heavy artillery brigade and generally did not undertake command tasks.
"Then we defended Guide to the death, surrounded by more than 100,000 clashes, and then we were completely wiped out by the Chinese?"
"I'm afraid the Chinese military does not have this ability?"
"When the Taierzhuang battle, who still questioned that they did not have this ability?" A hint of anger flashed across Kenji Doihara's pale face. Who among the men had considered these things? They were just trying to show off their pleasure for a moment. After being happy, it was the end of the end.
Everyone lowered their heads. If it were before this, I'm afraid no one would think that the Chinese army had the ability to eat an elite Japanese field division.
But now, who dares not admit that they have this ability, because the fact is right in front of them soon.
