It is undeniable that Sun Zhongren has many shortcomings. Sometimes he speaks very directly, which is very hurtful. A typical American thinking pattern.?

There is nothing that others cannot say, soldiers are not politicians.

Leng Feng really appreciates this frank and direct style, and there is nothing to hide. Of course, over the years, his edges and corners have been worn off, and it has also adapted to the way some Chinese people do things.

This kind of collision between the East and West culture is particularly obvious to those who have been abroad, especially Sun Zhongren's confident expression. Mr. Song, who also returned from the United States, naturally did not feel any disgusting when his thinking pattern was the same. Instead, he would appreciate it very much. But in China, this confidence became arrogant and arrogant...

It depends on how you understand it. This is the difference between East and West culture. Of course Leng Feng knows it and understands it. Some people know it, but it is hard to say whether it can be understood or not.

There is something called being integrated into the bloodline, called genes.

Leng Feng looked at the problem from the perspective of a later generation, which was already much higher. There were many great people in this era, but could they have a good time who knew the future of history?

Obviously not, so Leng Feng has a downward attitude, and he is relatively objective in looking at people. Some things can be tolerated as long as they are not principled.

Therefore, he could talk to Sun Zhongren and accept some of Sun Zhongren's views. Mr. Song admired him, but he didn't understand military affairs and could not talk to him professionally. Leng Feng was different, so Sun Zhongren naturally thought that he had met a soulmate.

Leng Feng had a higher knowledge than him, and a little mention made him feel that he was very helpful. Gradually, he no longer regarded Leng Feng as a "juvenile", and even felt a feeling of admiration in his heart.

Of course, this emotion will not be too strong, and it will slowly grow and grow, and eventually grow into a towering tree.

"Military seats, division seats, and meals are ready. Should we have dinner first?" The two of them said nothing, but they were gone. They had been half an hour after talking, and they were simply the kind of meeting too late.

"Yes, have a meal first, Brother Zhongren, I don't think the time is at all when chatting with you. Unfortunately, the time is too short. Otherwise, we can chat with him for three days and three nights." Leng Feng was very happy. He and Sun Zhongren had many coincidental ideas.

This American school has a much broader vision than that of domestic generals.

"The same is true for Zhongren. I haven't said so well for a long time."

Leng Feng had lunch at the New 36th Brigade, three dishes and one soup, which was the highest standard of food for the New First Army during the war.

The officers and soldiers were fed together, and Leng Feng had always practiced it and never made it special. However, he had to separate himself when living. He, a commander, could not live with ordinary soldiers, regardless of whether it was security or confidentiality.

Moreover, Leng Feng's work and rest time cannot be so standard. The soldier goes to bed when he reaches the point. He can't do it. If he wants to do this, he will not be able to do this job.

"Brother Zhong Ren, brother Zhong Ren..."

While eating, Leng Feng looked up in surprise when he heard someone shouting Sun Zhongren's name outside. This was clearly Zhang Zhongling's voice.

"Martial throne, I'll go and have a look?"

Leng Feng nodded with a smile: "Our white horse is coming. Let's go out and have a look."

Sun Zhongren nodded.

When Zhang Zhongling, who had just stepped over from the horse, was startled by Zhang Zhongling, but he was also a man who had seen the wind and waves, and he quickly calmed down.

"Zhang Zhongling has met the military captain, Commander Sun!"

Zhang Zhongling is the brigade commander of the New 39th Brigade, not a direct subordinate of Sun Zhongren, the 2o1 Division commander. Therefore, he does not need to call Sun Zhongren "the teacher's seat", and respectfully calls him the position of "the teacher".

Of course, if Leng Feng is not there, he can be more casual and call him "Zhongren" directly. This is normal for people who are in the army to be close friends.

Doesn’t Chairman Jiang often call him brothers?

Even his students, who value a little more, sometimes shouted "brother" like that, which is very common.

"Zhong Ling is here."

"Martial throne, I didn't expect you to be here too."

"I'm passing by, Brother Zhong, I'm here before I finish the meal. You're here. Could it be that you're here to have a free meal, right?" Leng Feng smiled.

"I really want to ask for it?" Zhang Zhongling smiled.

"Then let's go together." Leng Feng greeted and decided for the owner Sun Zhongren.

"Chief of Staff Qi, let the kitchen team cook two more dishes."

"Teacher Sun, don't have to be so troublesome. Just bring the rest up." Zhang Zhongling said hurriedly.

Leng Feng didn't say anything, but nodded inadvertently. Logically, there was nothing wrong with this and it did not violate the regulations. It was impossible to let Zhang Zhongling eat the leftover dishes they had. It would be appropriate to cook two more.

No need to re-cook, heat up the remaining dishes and serve them up, which saves time.

Zhang Zhongling came to discuss with Sun Zhongren how to annihilate the Independent Mixed Fourth Brigade of Dong Hacun. The New 39th Brigade and the Independent Mixed Fourth Brigade have been fighting for nearly five days, and the New 36th Brigade has been circumventing from behind and has also been fighting for one day and a half.

Two brigades have nearly 15,000 people, and they will fight a Japanese independent mixed brigade of about 4,000 people. Four times the strength of the troops should not be difficult.

The Japanese army was not a mob, and its combat effectiveness was very strong. In a few days, the number of casualties of the New 39th Brigade was even higher than that of the Japanese army. Although the battle time of the New 36th Brigade was shorter, the situation was basically the same.

This still shows a problem. The New First Army is still not as good as the Japanese army in terms of individual soldiers and overall strength, even if it is an independent force of local garrison like the Fourth Brigade.

There is still a certain gap with the Japanese Class A Division.

If Dong Kawamura defended his life, if there was no major breakthrough, if he wanted to eat this Japanese army, the time would inevitably be longer.

If you want to break through the Japanese defense line, you must concentrate your efforts to break through the Japanese defensive positions. However, in terms of attacking forces, the two troops of the New 39th and New 36th Brigades are slightly insufficient.

After helping the New 39th Brigade fight the Battle of Yanzhou, the 7th Independent Artillery Regiment naturally could not stay anymore, otherwise he would have disobeyed and transferred to the battlefield in eastern Henan. The 4th Arcade was assigned to the 52nd Army of the 20th Legion.

The new 36th Brigade is a newly formed army, and the light weapons and equipment of the troops are pretty good. They have weapons that even those recovered German divisions do not have, and they are pretty good.

But the heavy weapons are obviously insufficient, just one field artillery battalion, the new 39th Brigade is slightly better, and there is also a mountain artillery battalion, plus a heavy mortar battalion, and both brigades have a heavy machine gun battalion.

In terms of weapons and equipment, both brigades are not inferior to those elite divisions of the National Army, and some of them are not even comparable to those of them.

The Honorary First Division originally had two artillery regiments, one heavy howitzer regiment and one ordinary field artillery regiment. The heavy howitzer regiment was temporarily assigned to the New 38th Division, and the field artillery regiment was temporarily assigned to the New 37th Brigade, both of which were left in western Shandong.

The powerful heavy firepower of the New First Army remained in western Shandong, and entered the three main brigades in northern Henan, and there was no artillery of more than 100 mm caliber.

In contrast, the Japanese Independent Mixed Fourth Brigade actually equipped two infantry artillery squadrons and two mountain artillery squadrons, with six more artillery pieces in total. Compared with the comprehensive strength, four more artillery pieces were added to the New 36th and New 39th Brigades (the New 1st Army's mountain artillery battalions and field artillery battalions were six, while the Japanese mountain artillery and field artillery squadrons were four, which was generally 75mm).

In addition, the Japanese army also had a heavy mortar squadron, heavy machine gun squadron, and two 1o5mm heavy cannons. These two cannons have a long range and are powerful.

Although the troops were pressing the opponent tightly, the firepower could be used dispersed and the heavy firepower was suppressed, which made people feel depressed when fighting.

"It is a good idea to concentrate the artillery of two brigades together to use, open a hole, tear open the Japanese army's defense, and then drill through the tactics, divide the Japanese army into two, divide the battlefield into four, and then annihilate them one by one."

"Brig Commander Zhang, once we concentrate the artillery, the Japanese army's 1O5 cannon has a long range of artillery positions, and there is a danger of being bombed." Chief of Staff Qi Xueqi asked.

"So, we must solve this problem. As long as we solve these two heavy artillery pieces from the Japanese army that pose a huge threat to us, the battle below will be easy to fight."

"How to solve it? The Japanese army has tight protection for these two artillery pieces. Even if we know where they are, it will be difficult to get close to them." Chief of Staff Li Qingyuan asked with a frown.

"We should know that we can figure out the general location of the Japanese army deploying these two heavy artillery?"

"This is not difficult to determine. It must be an area that is difficult to cover the range of our artillery." Qi Xueqi said.

"The 1o5 heavy howitzer is, it will definitely not be easy for a big guy to move. And every move is extremely time-consuming. As long as it is not within the range of our artillery, the Japanese army does not need to move, because at its position, it can hit us, and we can't hit him, right?"

"Yes." Everyone nodded. This principle is too simple. Everyone can understand that on the plain, even if you move back and forth, as long as you fire the gun, your position will definitely be exposed. This is undoubtedly.

"We can choose the nearest route to determine the location of the Japanese 1o5 heavy cannons, and then concentrate all our artillery, blast a road, and send an elite force to directly rush to their artillery positions to seize his artillery positions as fast as possible. Even if the Japanese drama can transfer artillery, as long as we can cut the Japanese encirclement into two, then our artillery can also arrive?"

"Yes." Qi Xueqi slapped his legs and exclaimed, why didn't he expect it?

"Zhongling's method is practical. The tone shrinks and encircles little by little. It's better to tear a hole and divide the Japanese army into two, making it more flexible to fight." Sun Zhongren nodded. This is indeed a good method.

"If possible, artillery can be used in a centralized manner, but it does not need to be concentrated in one place. As long as the target is drawn and the command is unified, so that even if it is discovered, some of it will be preserved."

"This is a pessimistic idea, we can choose to attack before dawn or after dusk..."

"We are more sure before dawn. If we fight at night, we are not very familiar with the terrain here. In comparison, it is somewhat inferior to the Japanese army."

"Good before dawn!"

"What does the military seat mean?"

"I have no objection. I have given this battle to Brother Zhong Ren. How to fight is your business, I will only ask the result." Leng Feng smiled.

The method Zhang Zhongling thought was indeed good. If he blindly fought a positional battle with the Japanese army, he could win, but for a long time, there would be a lot of casualties. This was not what Leng Feng wanted, and as time went on, the variables would be great.

"Then let's just do it. The Advisory Office will make a plan. Let's discuss it again and take into account all the issues that can be considered. The attack time is tentatively scheduled to be tomorrow morning. Brigade Commander Zhongling, what do you think?"

"I listen to the military captain and Commander Sun." Zhang Zhongling said.

"I'm leaving. You have a specific plan and report it to the military headquarters. I'll take a look. If there is no problem, I will follow what you discussed." Leng Feng nodded.

"I would be great if we could call our Air Force for support." Chief of Staff Li Qingyuan suddenly said this.

Everyone was stunned.

This is the best and most direct way. No matter how powerful the ground artillery is, can it compare to air bombing? Now even if a bomber is sent, it can still remove the Japanese artillery positions.

The question is, is there any?

Now the air force of the National Government cannot protect itself, let alone compete with the Japanese army. Leng Feng had just received news that the ** Air Force suffered a considerable defeat. The 17th Air Force team 10 ii-15 destroyer aircraft was surrounded by 24 fighters of the Japanese Second Flight Brigade over Lanfeng. The two sides launched fierce air battles and almost wiped out the entire army.

If the Battle of Lanfeng was not extremely important, the Air Force might not have been dispatched. That is, when he was in Taierzhuang, the new 38th Division summoned the Air Force to support it.

In any other battle, we didn't seem to consider calling air support. Everyone had no idea about this, not to mention that the 6th Army is not a branch of troops, and the generals of the 6th Army could not command the air force at all.

Air support is a luxury. If you give it to you, you will have it. If you don’t give it to you, don’t expect it.

"You make this plan first, and let me talk about it when I arrive in Xinxiang." Leng Feng suddenly ordered, aren't there three Japanese fighter jets at Tiexi Jinjiaying Airport in Xinxiang? One of them is a bomber. If it can be repaired, it should be available.

The Japanese army should not be prepared for their planes, and it is entirely possible to have a raid at that time.

But there are several problems that must be solved: First, whether the aircraft can be repaired in a short time; Second, there are no aviation bombs stored at the airport, but there are no alternative bombs. Third, who will fly, it will not be allowed to come. He really wants to do it again in such a thing as flying the aircraft, but the people below may not agree.

All of these must be confirmed until he arrives in Xinxiang.
