Sure enough, when General Li Delin led the fifth theater army to retreat to Yongcheng, it was almost desperate.

The Osaka division didn't even fire a shot, and let it pass through the defense zone.

Even in order to avoid unnecessary conflicts, the Osaka division deliberately retreated several miles to leave enough room for Li Delin's troops to retreat.

This made General Li Delin very puzzled for a moment, and even subconsciously thought that this might be a conspiracy by the Japanese army.

Until several reconnaissance troops were dispatched one after another, it was confirmed that it was safe, and the rear could be overtaken by the Japanese chasing troops at any time.

Only then did General Li Delin bite the bullet and lead his troops through the defense area of ​​the Japanese 4th Division, which is the Osaka Division.

Until the end, not only General Li Delin was at a loss, but even General Bai Jiansheng, known as the little Zhuge, was also at a loss and was extremely puzzled.

I don't understand what kind of plane the little devil is doing.

Afterwards, Shouichi in the temple asked Matsui Ming why he did not attack Li Delin's troops.

Matsui's reply was that he had not received any order from the headquarters to fire at that time.

After getting this answer, the old devil Shouyi in the temple almost spit out a mouthful of old blood out of anger.

Of course, this is something……

When the Japanese army in North China launched operations, the Japanese army in Central China also accelerated their attack speed, and continued to attack the Suxian area with the strength of two divisions.

In addition, two divisions were dispatched to advance westward to Shangqiu in an attempt to attack the 16th Division both inside and outside, so as to pursue the main force of China's Fifth Theater.

It is also necessary to wipe out the Yudong Army Corps that besieged the 16th Division in the Lanfeng area.

In this way, the Japanese army had four divisions for reinforcements in the direction of Lanfeng.

In addition, several divisions are also attacking in the direction of Xuzhou.

Once he succeeds, he will march westward along the Longhai Railway and follow in pursuit.

Together with the above four divisions, they flanked the main force of China's Fifth Theater and the main force of the Eastern Henan Army in the Lanfeng area.

After learning of the deployment of the Japanese army, the chairman of the committee ordered Xue Boling, Hu Shoushan and others to wipe out the enemies of Lanfeng as soon as possible.

Otherwise, once the peripheral Japanese troops encircle and come up, the consequences will be disastrous.

In order to encourage Xue Boling and others, the chairman specially added in the telegram that Yang Chen's Huben Regiment had been mobilized to rush to participate in this tough battle.

The name of a man, the shadow of a tree.

Yang Chen, and his Huben Regiment, are a victorious army that has never been defeated. It can be said that as long as the Huben Regiment participates in the battle.

Then this battle will be stable!

When Xue Boling heard the news and spread it widely.

The morale of the nearly 10 soldiers in the entire Eastern Henan Corps was greatly boosted.

One after another, it was as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and the blood surged up!

Under the order of General Xue Boling, all the units of the Eastern Henan Corps launched a full-scale attack on the 16th Division of the Japanese Army that day.

After bloody fighting by the soldiers of the three armies, they finally successfully recaptured the urban area of ​​Lanfeng County that night.

The smooth flow of the Longhai Railway was restored, and the military supplies of dozens of trains trapped in Shangqiu were able to withdraw to Zhengzhou that night.

At that time, Lanfeng was guarded by the 16th Infantry Brigade under the 19th Division of the Japanese Army, headed by Tatsuya Kusada.

After the defeat, the old devil Caochang Chenji led the remnant army to retreat overnight to Sanyi Village, north of Lanfeng.

In order to prevent the loss of the 30th Infantry Brigade, Sasaki, the brigade commander of the 19th Infantry Brigade and acting division commander, also led the main force of the 16th Division to join them.

However, at this time, the 16th Division had basically fallen into the encirclement of the Eastern Henan Army.

However, Sasaki went to an old devil to command the Japanese army, and in the early morning of the next day, under the cover of fire support from the air force fighter group that came to support, he took the initiative to launch a counterattack against the national army.

……

Chapter 658 Encounter deserters on the road!

At that time, Gui Yongqing, who was already the commander of the 27th Army, fled again without a fight under the strong firepower of the Japanese army.

Abandoning their positions, the Japanese army took the opportunity to chase and kill them. The 27th Army suffered heavy losses and discarded materials and equipment at will.

As a result, the encirclement that was just formed was broken through.

The old devil, Tufei Yuanxian'er, led his 14th Division to Dingtao, and was still rushing towards Lanfeng at a rapid march.

If these two divisions of the Japanese Army were allowed to join together smoothly, it would be almost impossible to destroy the Eastern Henan Army Group before the main force of the Japanese Army arrived.

Don't say that it will be wiped out, I'm afraid that self-protection will become a problem.

Fortunately, just when the situation took a turn for the worse.

Yang Chen finally led the Huben regiment to Lankao.

It's too late to fix it.

General Xue Boling then ordered this tiger and wolf division to enter the battlefield, replacing Gui Yongqing's troops to fill up the encirclement again.

And appointed Yang Chen to temporarily replace Gui Yongqing as the commander-in-chief of forward attack operations, and commanded the 27th Army and the 71st Army to besiege the 16th Division of the Japanese Army!

……

After Yang Chen received the order, he led the Huben Regiment to Jinglan Seal and rushed directly to the frontline battlefield of Sanyi Village.

On the way, I happened to encounter a defeated army retreating from the front line to Lanfeng.

Its number of troops is so large that it is even more numerous than the Huben Regiment. Wherever it passes, the dust and smoke are filled, like a yellow dragon.

"Liu Zheping, let me go over and stop them, and ask which unit they belong to!"

Yang Chen saw that they were retreating in a mighty manner, fearing that they would affect morale, he immediately ordered Liu Zheping to lead a battalion to stop them.

"Yes!"

Liu Zheping rode a war horse and led more than 1000 men to block the retreat of the defeated army: "Stop advancing! Which part are you from?"

A leading colonel officer glanced at Liu Zheping and his subordinates, and found that he was only a major officer, and immediately said impatiently: "I am from the 27th Army, which part of you dare to stop us?" way"

"Hey, who am I supposed to be? It turns out to be General Gui Yongqing's troops!"

Liu Zheping had heard about the heroic deeds of the Teaching Corps in the Battle of Shanghai and the Battle of Nanjing, and even the establishment of the tank battalion could not have been done without the help of the Teaching Corps.
