The blood of the Anti-Japanese War stained the mountains and rivers

Yang Ling often chatted with his brothers, not only able to grasp the situation and conflicts of the brothers in a timely manner, but also shortened the distance between them, and the effect was obvious.

"Deputy Yang Tuan, I need you urgently." Before the meal was over, Yang Ling was hurriedly called back to the temporary regiment headquarters. He didn't dare to delay, and after greeting his brothers, he went straight to the regiment headquarters. go.

"Tuan Zuo, is there a new combat order?" Yang Ling was the first to ask when he saw Zhang Handuo, the regiment leader with a serious face.

Zhang Handuo didn't waste any extra nonsense, and said with a solemn face: "The two devils and wounded soldiers we caught in the morning inadvertently found something. The division headquarters attaches great importance to it and asks us to confirm it further."

"What's the situation?" Yang Ling asked.

"The devil captives were not convinced, saying that it would be disgraceful for so many of our troops to fight against their two regiments. Therefore, the division headquarters judged that the main force of the devils may no longer be in the direction of Renheji. We need to attack and test for further confirmation."

The 14th Division of the Japanese Army has [-] to [-] elites, and the two regiments have only a few thousand people, so the rest of the main force is likely to move from other directions.

Yang Ling has been restless these days, thinking that their attack was too smooth. At first, he thought that the devils had reached the end of their battle. Now after being reminded like this, he suddenly thought of Lan Feng. encirclement.

"No need to test, I know where the devil's main force is." Yang Ling walked quickly to the map, pointed at Lan Fengcheng and said, "They must have gone to Lan Fengcheng secretly."

Zhang Handuo also walked to the map, looking at the direction of Lanfeng City in the west, he frowned and said: "It shouldn't be, even if the devils want to break through, they should go east. If the devils attack in the direction of Lanfeng, it is far away from their reinforcements." It's getting farther and farther."

Yang Ling explained: "Tu Feiyuan was born as a spy. He is vicious and cunning. He captured Lanfeng in the west, just in time to catch us by surprise."

"We should report to the division immediately, explain the situation to Chief Xue, and let the troops in the direction of Lanfeng City prepare to block immediately, and the rest of the troops should immediately reinforce." Yang Ling said loudly.

But Zhang Handuo hesitated: "We have no proof, even if we report it to the teacher, I am afraid the teacher will not believe it. Besides, what if the main force of the devil is not going west, but north or south? Have you considered the consequences in case of a wrong judgment?"

Yang Ling knew what Zhang Handuo was hesitating about, and he was very helpless. He couldn't say that he suddenly remembered this history. He could only explain patiently: "Let's report the report first, and immediately send people to attack and test the falsehoods of the devils and gather directions. , if I make a wrong judgment at that time, I will bear all the consequences, and you will definitely not be implicated."

"What are you talking about? You and my brother, even if we have responsibilities, we will bear the responsibility together." Seeing Yang Ling's words reach this point, Zhang Handuo reluctantly agreed, and immediately reported the situation to the division commander Wang Yaowu, and then reported the situation to Xue Yue, the commander of the Eastern Yu Corps. The general reports.

However, just to be on the safe side, when Zhang Handuo reported to his superiors, the brothers of the whole regiment immediately took action and started a new round of attack in the direction of Renheji to test the truth and judge whether the main force of the Japanese army really left this place. a region.

Text Chapter 393 Deserters

The cunning Doufeiyuan Division Mingxiu plank road secretly darkened Chen Cang, relying on strongholds with a small number of troops to block the 74th Army and other troops, and secretly mobilized the main force to go straight to Lanfeng City in the west, trying to tear a hole in the iron barrel-like encirclement. Breakout notch.

Yang Ling's analysis report was reported layer by layer, and finally placed on the desk of General Xue Yue, the commander of the Eastern Henan Corps.

On the other hand, he hurriedly reported the situation to Gui Yongqing, the commander of the 27th Army of the Chinese Army in the direction of Lanfeng City, and asked him to be more vigilant to prevent the Japanese army from breaking out from the west.

"This little devil didn't lose his mind. Isn't it a joke that he didn't break out from the east and ran all the way to the west?" Gui Yongqing didn't care about Chief Xue's reminder, and ordered the troops to advance slowly according to the original plan.

The 27th Army is the foundation of the teaching corps. Although it lost a lot in the battle of Zijin Mountain in Nanjing, its strength is still not to be underestimated. Moreover, they still have a large number of armored troops, which is also the capital of Gui Yongqing's arrogance. .

Originally, according to the plan, Song Xilian's 71st Army would defend the direction of Lanfeng City, but in order to show the importance attached to the encirclement and annihilation of the Tufeiyuan Division, the chairman specially dispatched Gui Yongqing and his "Imperial Forest Army" to join the battle and replaced the 71st Army .

Both Gui Yongqing and Qiu Qingquan are considered disciples of the Son of Heaven, and they hold the elite Central Army troops in their hands. Although their eyes are higher than the top, Gui Yongqing's military command ability can only be regarded as mediocre compared to the talented Central Army, but he is old , can be regarded as suppressing those rebellious officers.

When the 27th Army slowly continued to advance eastward, attempting to encircle the Dohien Division with friendly forces and encircle and wipe it out. After the assembly was completed, they were rushing towards Lanfeng City with lightning speed.

An infantry battalion, the vanguard of the 27th Army, first exchanged fire with the Japanese army thirty miles to the east of Lanfeng City. Destroy the frontal enemy.

After all, a few days ago, Qiu Qingquan's armored troops of the second division also ran into a group of hundreds of Japanese cavalry and wiped them out to boost their morale, and this vanguard battalion didn't want to lose the limelight, but also wanted to fight a battle of annihilation .

However, as soon as the two sides exchanged fire, the fierce firepower of the Japanese army overwhelmed the brothers in the vanguard battalion. Most of the losses were lost within half an hour of fierce fighting. The seriously injured battalion commander also realized that something was wrong and hurriedly ordered to retreat. The roundabout outflanking troops had already circled around them, and it was too late to run.

The vanguard suffered a devastating blow from the Japanese army, and the main force of the Japanese army was rushing towards Lanfeng City. When the news was sent back to Lanfeng City, Gui Yongqing could no longer sit still, although he was extremely arrogant on weekdays and did not take the Japanese army seriously. However, in the final analysis, I am still very afraid of the Japanese army. After all, the tragedy in Nanjing is still vivid.

"Mr. Qiu, where is his armored unit? Tell him to stop the Japanese army quickly and buy time for our army to deploy defenses!" Gui Yongqing immediately thought of Qiu Qingquan. After all, in this plain area, only the armored unit can block it. up.

"Mr. Qiu passed Lanfeng half an hour ago and withdrew towards the west."

Gui Yongqing was shocked by the staff officer's answer, and he roared angrily, "Why didn't you stop him!?"

The staff officer was also very wronged: "I thought it was your order, Chief Gui..."

Gui Yongqing waved his hand helplessly. It is useless to talk now. Solving the immediate problem is the top priority. He frowned into a Sichuan character. He looked at the map and asked, "How many people came from the Japanese army?"

"According to the investigation report, there are at least four or five regiments, as well as armored vehicles and cavalry units..."

Hearing that the Japanese army had so many troops, his thoughts of relying on Lanfeng City to resist suddenly disappeared. After a moment of meditation, he said: "It is even more difficult to defend the isolated city of Lanfeng with my army alone. ah."

The staff officer naturally understood the meaning of his words, and said worriedly: "If we evacuate Lanfeng, it's not easy to explain to Chief Xue and the committee."

Gui Yongqing naturally knew that the chairman had high hopes for the annihilation of the Tufeiyuan Division in the Battle of Lanfeng. If he escaped like this and let go of the gap, even if he was a student of the emperor, he would also be blamed.

But if he sticks to Lanfeng and faces so many elite Japanese troops, let alone a mere 27th Army, I am afraid he will have to join in. So after thinking twice, he decided to save his life. If it's gone, then there's nothing left.

"The 88th Division was ordered to stick to Lanfeng, and our 27th Army immediately withdrew to Kaifeng and Qi County to avoid the enemy's edge." Gui Yongqing did not dare to run away completely, or planned to leave a division to guard the other, whether he could or not Hold on, he can explain it when the time comes.

What's more, the 88th Division belongs to the 71st Army, and was temporarily transferred to their 27th Army. In this situation, he is not willing to use his own troops, so he can only sacrifice the 88th Division, a friendly army that is not related. Let them be cannon fodder.

The chief of staff knew what his officer meant. Although he felt unworthy for the 88th Division, he didn't lose his own interests, and he didn't say anything, and he sent an order soon.

Under Gui Yongqing's order, the 27th Army left Lanfeng and retreated in big strides, but Long Muhan, the commander of the 88th Division who received the order to stick to it, was so angry that he cursed.

"Damn it, it's thanks to Gui Yongqing that I'm allowed to fight this desperate battle. He wants to live, and I don't want to die either!"

The 88th Division was originally an elite division of German weapons. It was the trump card unit among the trump cards. An elite brand, but its status is not as good as before.

Now Gui Yongqing asked their 88th Division to stick to Lanfeng, and if he defended him, Gui Yongqing received the reward. Nothing happened to their 88th Division. .

Thinking that the ace troop of German weapons that everyone admired at the beginning has now been reduced to cannon fodder, the division commander Han Longmuhan couldn't help scolding his mother.

But now their 88th Division has been assigned to command the 27th Army, and he has no choice but to obey Gui Yongqing's order. He can only order the troops to enter Lanfeng City to build a position. If the situation is not good, he is not prepared to stick to it. After all He is not a fool either.

The Japanese 27th Brigade aggressively attacked Lanfeng City. The 88th Division's outer positions were smashed to pieces. The troops of the two battalions died before half an hour.

"Master, master, brothers can't stand it anymore, the second battalion and the third battalion are all over!" A call from outside the city made the division commander Long Muhan unable to sit still any longer.

"Withdraw! Let's withdraw too. If Gui Yongqing is not used as cannon fodder, he will not be able to escape the crime of withdrawing without authorization!" Seeing that the Japanese army was attacking ferociously and the troops could not stop them, he also gave the order to retreat.

The 88th Division took advantage of the gap between the Japanese army's encirclement and abandoned Lanfeng City overnight and retreated to the north. It took the Japanese army less than a day to break through Lanfeng and break the encirclement of the Chinese army. The head of the division, Madoka Dohi, felt a little unbelievable.

The Japanese army's breach of Lanfeng City not only broke the encirclement of the Chinese army, but also threatened Kaifeng and Zhengzhou in the west. The situation on the Lanfeng battlefield took a sharp turn for the worse overnight.

Text Chapter 394 Combat Missions

In the command post of the Eastern Henan Corps, General Xue Yue was tossing and turning because of the unknown whereabouts of the main force of the Japanese army. He knew very well that he had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, and he also understood the old man's thoughts. Now they urgently need a hearty victory to answer those voices of doubt.

Now the more than [-] elites of the Central Army under his command have surrounded tens of thousands of elites from the Tufei Yuan Division in the Lanfeng area. Inner Huang City and Yifeng City have been recovered by them one after another. The only thing to do is to fight steadily, and the chance of victory is already in hand.

But General Xue Yue also knew in his heart that his opponent was the insidious and cunning Kenji Doihara. This China hand had been working as a spy on Chinese soil for many years. He didn't dare to be careless in the slightest. The trapped beast with fangs bit back.

"Have you figured out the whereabouts of the main force of the enemy army?" Xue Wen raised his bloodshot eyes and asked the combat staff.

The combat staff officer shook his head and said: "We have issued investigation orders to the frontline troops, but there is no feedback yet."

Xue Yue was obviously dissatisfied with this answer. After a pause, he continued to ask: "Have you found any signs of enemy troops gathering in the direction of Lanfeng City?"
