Listening to Leng Feng calmly dispatching troops, his demeanor was that many famous generals might not have it. Chen Shuyi became more and more frightened the more he listened.

Sun Yinting and Li Delin, who are not a highly qualified general, let alone a giant who can challenge Mr. Jiang like this.

Leng Feng calls and interacts with them in a confident and equal tone, and the callbacks of these people are the same, and they do not treat Leng Feng as a subordinate or junior at all.

Totally equal.

This is unimaginable in a highly hierarchical army. If you want to send a telegram to Li Delin like that, it is estimated that the telegram will not even be able to enter his servant's room.

This dialogue of equality and mutual respect does not come out of thin air. They are earning their true abilities and real military achievements.

"Commander-in-Chief Sun means that the Third Army suffered heavy casualties. Can it be transferred to rest? The battle on the Eastern Front is not so tense. You only need to delay the Japanese army in Caozhou and Dingtao areas. Just rely on the New 38th Division and the New 37th Brigade can do it?"

"I have this intention too. The new 38th Division restrained the Japanese army in western Shandong. The Third Army went east and rested and replenished troops and grain and ammunition in Jiaxiang and Jinxiang areas." Leng Feng nodded.

"What about the new 37th Brigade?"

"The New 37th Brigade has been fighting hard for more than half a month, and there are many casualties. You can also consider withdrawing to Juye to rest and replenish, and you can be the reserve team of the New 38th Division." Xie Jiyuan suggested.

"Okay, in this way, the new 36th Brigade will move, let the new 39th Brigade cross the river, join forces with the new 40th Brigade and take Puyang down." Leng Feng agreed.

"I think it's OK."

"Since Mr. Jiang has transferred the 20th legion into western Shandong, there is no need for us to leave too many troops. Northern Henan is a plain. Brother, we must have a strong mobile combat force."

"Well, the tiger's perspective is different now." Leng Feng praised, "That's right, but I'm very coveted by Kenji Dohihara's mechanized corps. So this time I went to northern Henan, Li Ye's armored brigade and Xie Zaoshi's heavy artillery regiment were left to the new 38th Division. My targets are the Japanese heavy artillery brigade and tank brigade, as well as their cars and war horses."

Leng Feng didn't want military achievements this time, he just wanted to get benefits, so he went to northern Henan so casually.

He wanted to get a batch of military rations, which would at least allow the New First Army to spend the winter. He would not ask for anything, and Chiang Kai-shek could do anything about him. This was his hard-working capital.

Chen Shuyi felt cold sweat when he heard it. What he heard now was the Honorary First Division, which should not be said to be the core military secret of the New First Army.

Leng Feng said it in front of him without caring. This was trust in him, and it was also a test, and he was definitely not afraid that he would say it out.

Because it is impossible to leak the secret except him. Once the secret is leaked, he will die very ugly.

The boat came and couldn't get off.

Only then did Chen Shuyi understand why a person like Boss Dai spoke so cautiously and nervously when talking about this Chief Leng.

Can a man who can conquer the "witch" be an ordinary man?

"Eat, eat..."

Chen Shuyi, who can usually eat three bowls of rice, felt full at noon after eating only one bowl in a hurry. Then he used the excuse that he had exhausted his strength during the competition and needed some rest and recover, so he left first.

"This Uncle Chen, I'm afraid I can't fall asleep today."

"Talents all have ideas, so they have to take their time. My test for him has just begun." Leng Feng smiled slightly. It takes time to really take it for himself.

"This Uncle Chen is really worth your efforts?" Xie Jiyuan asked in surprise.

"Give Jining a call and let Wei Quan come over."

"You finally remembered it. I thought you didn't plan to take him to northern Henan this time." Xie Jiyuan smiled. The main reason for leaving Guo Weiquan was that he was not enough staff, and not many people could understand Leng Feng's intentions, so he left Guo Weiquan to help Liao Sen.

Now that the reorganization of the Luxi Corps has been on the right track, Leng Feng did not want to intervene too much in the Luxi Corps. To put it bluntly, he is now ready to withdraw from Luxi.

This was what he promised to Sun Yinting and General Fan.

This is also one of the reasons why Sun Yinting and General Fan have always supported him and obeyed his orders and suggestions.

He was not interested in power and did not interfere with the military and political power of Shandong. At most, he would let Shandong provide some supplies to supply his troops.

The most important thing he did was to punish traitors and eliminate evil, punish traitors and bullies who harmed their neighbors. Sun Yinting, as a local snake, had a lot of relationships and was not easy to deal with. He had no such concern. Anyway, he had no worries about the place in western Shandong. When doing things, it would be a quick knife to cut the mess.

The people of Luxi now also call him "Leng Yan King".

Guo Weiquan used it easily. He was not around for a while, but he was actually a little uncomfortable. However, he should consider letting Guo Weiquan go on and exercise and stay by his side. Although his future is good, he became a little dull after all.

He could see that Guo Weiquan was not a person who was willing to be ordinary, and he still had to let him go out to have a chance to try it alone. If not, it would be impossible to come back.

He didn't want to tie everyone around him, that would be too selfish.

It is not easy to find a good adjutant. So far, Leng Feng has not found anyone who can be seen by him, so he can only look for it slowly in the future.

With the support of Umezu Mijiro, Kenji Doihara was finally able to let go of his hands and try it out, and he used all the strength that the 14th Division could use.

The planes in the sky, the tanks on the ground, Kenji Doihara really used all his energy to take advantage of his efforts, and he made great efforts to launch a fierce attack on the position of the First Corps in East Henan.

Although the 71st Army and 74th Army of the First Corps are all elite GJ troops, after suffering two huge damages from Songhu and Nanjing, the veterans suffered more than 70% of the losses. Although they have recovered a little, their weapons and equipment are far inferior to the situation at that time. The quality of the soldiers has also declined a lot, and their combat effectiveness has dropped a lot.

The 14th Division was defeated by the Honorary First Division. In addition to the slightly inferior heavy weapons and equipment, the Honorary First Division was almost not weaker in other aspects, and also had a slight advantage. In addition, Kenji Doihara's plan was always failed, so it was natural to suffer losses.

Even so, the number of casualties in the Western Shandong Corps exceeded that of the Japanese army, and the combat effectiveness of the Third Army was not as good as that of the Central Army like the 71st Army.

Xue Boling did not expect to block Dohihara's military front in the first line, but he hoped to use the existing fortifications to delay time and consume the Dohihara Division's spirit before the Japanese army arrived in Lanfeng!

The retreat of the Doihara Division has been cut off by Leng Feng, so his strategy must be to fight quickly. The more unfavorable it will be for him to delay a minute!

It will take at least three days to form a siege of the Doihara Division.

Xue Boling moved the command center from Kaifeng to Lanfeng, personally took charge of Lanfeng, and commanded the 1st Corps in the eastern Henan to block the Tukaiyuan Division. The battle was unprecedentedly fierce.

At this time, Toshima Yataro, who was confronting Dingtao and the Luxi Corps, seemed to understand that he was abandoned by Kenji Doihara as an abandoned son.

In anger, he had to take on the responsibility of delaying the Luxi Corps and the New 38th Division. This was no longer a personal grudge. It was related to the life and death of the 14th Division. In particular, Doihara's plan was also supported by the new commander of the 1st Army.

As the commander of the brigade, he obviously couldn't resist his arms and legs. In this situation, he could only play his own role and try his best to hold back the Luxi Corps and the new 38th Division.

With less than 4,000 people in his hands and some wounded soldiers, can he hold up the powerful Chinese army with more than 20,000 people?

Toshima Yataro decided to give up Dingtao and all the main forces were concentrated in Caozhou City, so that he might be able to hold on for a longer time.

Just as Toshima Yataro made this decision, the new 38th Division also launched a battle against the outer positions of Caozhou City, and the Caozhou Battle broke out.

"This Leng Guoguang is really unexpected. He actually went to northern Henan in person. Don't he want to compete for me with me Xue Boling?" Xue Boling held the telegram sent by Leng Feng in his hand, and couldn't help but smile with a meaningful smile.

"Captain Xue, Kaocheng's urgent telegram was 2:00 pm on May 30. The Japanese army's offensive was very fierce. At present, many positions on our periphery were lost. The 261st Brigade of the 87th Division suffered heavy casualties..." Wu Xiqi took a telegram from the communications staff and read it out.

"Tell Song Yinguo that I don't want his casualties. Can I hold the position? If I can't, come down and change it to someone else." Xue Boling said coldly.

"Substitution, Chief Xue, do we still have troops?"

"Of course there is!"

Wu Xiqi was stunned and did not understand what Xue Boling pointed out.

"Thanks to Leng Guoguang for delaying us for so long that the superiors had the time to calmly mobilize enough troops for me." Xue Boling smiled slightly, "Tu Fei thought I was a soft persimmon, so I want to see how he handled it!"

"Commissioner's Handling!"

"This Lanfeng Battle is related to the entire anti-Japanese war. The troops of Hu, Li, Yu, Gui, Song and Tang should follow the tasks shown by Commander Xue. They must intercept the Japanese army at Lanfeng, Yifeng, Neihuangji, and cooperate with the Western Shandong Corps to completely annihilate the Tuohiro Division. If anyone shrinks or fails to attack, they will be punished according to the law. If the person who wins the most in the battle, the person who wins the most will be awarded. I hope that his troops will not obey the matter."

"yes!"

"This time the Commissioner transferred the Tang Army to the battlefield in eastern Henan. What do you think, Chief Xue?" Wu Xiqi asked calmly and solemnly.

"In the current Central Army, the 20th Army of Tang Keqin can compete with Leng Guoguang's New First Army. Even Hu Shoushan's 17th Army is probably a little different. Chen Cixiu's 18th Army was a bit inferior to that of the New 38th Division. Although he has made many military achievements, in the eyes of others, he is still not as good as Leng Guoguang. It is important to know that the battle between Leng Guoguang and Chief Li was planned by Leng Guoguang. Even if Tang Keqin cut off many Japanese heads on the battlefield, the biggest contribution is still his own." Xue Boling said slowly.

"The New First Army is so highly regarded in Chief Xue's eyes?"

"It's not that I have a high opinion of it, but that's the case. The New First Army is a unit reborn from the fire. The starting point is already high. Now there is another wise general who is united and works together. The combat power that bursts out is completely unimaginable." Xue Boling said. He understood that ordinary people know how to be shameless and then brave, let alone a group of soldiers who were once captured. They are more eager to prove to the world that they are not cowards, and that they are captured only for other reasons, not that they want to be captured or refugees.
