The Japanese army occupied Xuzhou, and the news spread to Japan, and the "Tokyo Daily Shimbun" and "Asahi Shimbun" reported one after another that the Japanese Imperial Army had won this brilliant and great victory, and the empire was invincible. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

For a time, the mood of the Japanese people was high, and the voices of support for the war against China rose higher and higher, and the anti-war voices were like drops of water on the crest of the waves, drowned out by the surging cheers in the blink of an eye.

The great victory stimulated the nerves of the Japanese people, and the previous defeats and losses were already insignificant, and the new Minister of War Sakagaki Seishiro was the first to enter Xuzhou, and was given the opportunity to be received by the emperor and commended.

Vice-Minister of the Army, Hideki Tojo, even talked about his "China" strategy on official and private occasions, conquering China quickly and by force, using artillery and bayonets to make the Chiang government in Wuhan bow its head high, prop up a puppet regime, and turn China into the rear of Japan's world hegemony!

In order to cooperate with the aggression against China, Prime Minister Konoe also put forward the idea of "establishing a new order in East Asia" at a meeting of the Japanese Cabinet.

Japan wants to conquer not only China, but also Asia, and its wolf ambitions are already obvious.

There is no way to contain the wheels of war.

The Nationalist Army won successive frontal victories, but in the end it was still defeated by the powerful Japanese army, and the land was lost, and millions of people were humiliated and became slaves of the country.

War has its own iron rules, and in the same way, defeating the strong with the weak is not something that can be done at any time or anywhere, even people like Leng Feng who know the future direction must be subject to reality.

In today's war situation, the general direction can still be grasped, but it is difficult to make an accurate prediction of the direction of the local battle situation, and he can only do his best to take precautions and save a little vitality for the Chinese army.

"What's the situation in Caozhou?"

"Division Commander Luo said that a general attack can be launched at any time."

"I can't drag it out any longer, tell Luo Yufeng, solve the problem of Toshima Fangtaro, and be ready to go south to help Xue Boling at any time." Leng Feng ordered.

"Yes."

Leng Feng was not only worried about Xue Boling's command, he was worried that some selfish generals under Lao Jiang would be unable to clean up the situation if they escaped again.

Dangshan County, the Fifth War Zone Governor's Department.

"Degong, now most of the troops in our five theaters have withdrawn from Xuzhou, of which the Second Army is still fighting with the Japanese army in the area of Hanzhuang and Lincheng, most of the Yunnan army has crossed Weishan Lake, Fan Songpu's 46th Army has joined Liu Ziliang's 68th Army, and is currently deployed in Peixian and Feng County along the west bank of Weishan Lake and the Longhai Line, the Japanese army has not yet attacked westward, and the 19th Army Corps ......"

"Commander Li, the telegram of the new First Army Commander Leng." Huang Xuecun came in from outside in short sleeves.

"Say what?" Li Delin's right cheek was red and swollen, almost squeezing his eyes out of sight, lying on a marching bed, barely supporting his body, and the orderly wiped his forehead with a towel soaked in cold water on the ground from time to time.

After the prefect's department was transferred to Dangshan, his condition worsened a lot.

"Chief Leng is very worried about your body, he wants to take you to Xinxiang for treatment, although Zhengzhou is close, but it is not so easy to think about the past, Wuhan's medical conditions are better, but this way through, I am afraid that it is not easy, even if you take a plane, it is not safe, and go to Xinxiang, at least he can guarantee your safety."

"Leng Guoguang has a heart, but in this situation, can I, Li, leave?"

"Degong, at present, the troops of the Fifth Theater have basically been evacuated, and those who have not been evacuated have all been properly arranged, you still need to treat your illness, if your body falls, what will we do with so many troops in the Fifth Theater in the future?" Chief of Staff Xu Yanmou persuaded him.

"I ......"

"Are you worried that the troops will not be able to safely pass through the Japanese blockade and retreat to a safe area in the rear?"

"Don't we still have Deputy Commander Li Heling and Commander Liao, don't you believe in their ability to jump out of the encirclement of the Japanese army with the troops?"

"Chief Li, your current body really needs to be treated immediately, you had a high fever of 40 degrees yesterday and were in a coma for more than ten hours, which is really worrying......" Huang Xuecun joined the ranks of persuasion.

"Commander Bai also sent a telegram, suggesting that you hand over the command to Deputy Commander Li, and then go to Xinxiang for treatment first, and then return to Wuhan to recuperate after getting better."

"Jiansheng also suggested that I go to Xinxiang?"

"Of course, Chief Bai hopes that you can go to Wuhan for treatment, Wuhan's medical level is much higher, you could have gone to Zhengzhou first, and the medical level of the doctors there is also good, but now that Guide is occupied by the Japanese army, this way will definitely have to take a detour, the road is far away, you go to Zhengzhou for treatment, it will definitely attract people's attention, it is better to go to Xinxiang, the medical level of the field hospital of the new First Army is very high, especially their president, who is the head of both Chinese and Western, has excellent medical skills, and has the reputation of 'Huatuo in white clothes'."

"How do you know this, did Leng Guoguang invite you to be a lobbyist?" Li Delin laughed rarely.

"Everyone can see that you and Leng Guoguang are almost old friends, if you go to him, you will definitely not be lonely if you have endless words." Xu Yanmou said with a smile.

When Li Delin heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little moved, the troops' breakthrough plan had been arranged, Xuzhou was also occupied by the Japanese army, and there were not many things in the Fifth Theater that really needed his overall command.

He was just worried that the three armies he brought out from Guangxi were his descendants, and he wanted to see his local descendants jump out of the encirclement of the Japanese army, so that he would be relieved to receive treatment.

But it's to go to Xinxiang, the road is not close, there have to be four or five hundred kilometers, along the way the car does not stop, it also takes a day, if you count the halfway rest and dinner, how to take two days to go.

This is still normal, and the journey is unimpeded.

"Duke De, if you agree, Chief Leng will send someone to send a car to pick you up." Wong See Village Road.

"Let me think about it." Li Delin was also a little moved, going to Leng Feng is definitely much more comfortable than going to Zhengzhou, not to mention that his cooperation with Leng Feng in Xuzhou is perfect, Leng Feng is a person who values love and righteousness, he appreciates it very much, at least, there will be a lot less deception when he goes there.

He can also recuperate quietly, and Wuhan is now bombed by Japanese planes every once in a while, and it is not necessarily safer than Xinxiang.

That is, one. The speed at which the battle situation deteriorated was unacceptably fast.

The Japanese army did not stop bombing Xinxiang, but the batch and intensity were much less, but the people of this Xinxiang county town brought casualties and fear.

Yang Rui arrested a lot of people, and after confessing to some traitors who gave guidance to Japanese planes, Leng Feng ordered the implementation of wartime control and discipline.

Traitors and Japanese spies killed more than thirty people in one go.

The title of "Cold Hades" was suddenly confirmed.

"Throne!"

"Fang Xiaoyang successfully completed the task and asked to return to the team!" Fang Xiaoyang went all the way to escort the high-ranking officers and prisoners of war of the Japanese 10th Division back to Xinxiang.

"Okay, how's it going?"

"It's safe, the Japanese haven't noticed that we've transferred Ryosuke Isoya and the others at all." Fang Xiaoyang said.

"Well, it's good to come back safely, where are the Japanese prisoners of war arranged?"

"Temporarily detained in Xinxiang No. 1 Prison, we have set aside a separate piece of confinement. The area was mainly used to hold important prisoners of war and prisoners of the Japanese army. Guo Weiquan took over the conversation and said.

"What about the people from the Military Commission's Einsatzgruppen?"

"They arrived at Weishan Island, but the place where we detained the Japanese war criminals was on Zhangblind Island, and they couldn't find us, and they clashed with the anti-Japanese militia on the island and were driven out of the island.

"It should be with the Fifth Theater Commander's Department, these people were mentioned in the telegram that Chief Li gave us three days ago, and they were originally arranged to evacuate with the Dian army, but they were unwilling, they had to follow Chief Li and them, so they should be with Chief Li now."

"Forget it, don't care about him, the reprimand telegram from the General Staff has arrived, and my call back is that I didn't see these people at all, and they clashed with the local people on Weishan Island, so it's good if they didn't arrest them as traitors and plainclothes teams."

"What's the catch?"

"It's all hard, mouth. Ba Yanshi refused to speak, and there were constant moths along the way, pretending to be sick, making hunger strikes, and even pretending to be crazy and stupid, and two committed suicide on the road, but in the end they were rescued. ”

"These executioners, what are they doing to save them, they are dead!"

"We still have to let them die clearly, we are resisting aggression, we are the righteous side, and there is a difference between them and these people." Xie Jiyuan explained.

"Xiaoyang came back just right, I lack a secretary now, Xiaoyang, how about you serve as my secretary?" Leng Feng suddenly had a thought rising in his mind.

"I think it can!" Xie Jiyuan looked at Fang Xiaoyang and nodded.

"Commander, what about my work with the Anti-War League?" Fang Xiaoyang didn't care anyway, although he didn't know what the secretary did, anyway, he was working under Leng Feng.

"You are still responsible for the work of the Anti-War League."

"Yes!"

"Let's go down and settle down first, eat, sleep well, and come to report early tomorrow morning, what do you think, what do you think?"

"Xie Junzuo cultivation!" Fang Xiaoyang's eyes lit up, and his military rank was raised by one level, which was naturally a happy thing.

"Kunimitsu, it's better to send this Isoya Ryosuke to Wuhan or Chongqing as soon as possible, if you leave it with us, it's just a bomb that may explode at any time." Xie Jiyuan reminded.

"I know, I'll arrange it as soon as possible." Leng Feng nodded, took out a cigarette, and did not light it, but played with it twice in his hand, "What I'm most worried about now is the battle situation in Guide. ”

"There is Chief Xue in charge of Guide, but he has always been known for his sophistication and prudence, and he is known for his ruthless use of soldiers, what else do you have to worry about?" Xie Jiyuan asked puzzled.

"I'm not worried about Chief Xue, if something like Huang Jie of the 8th Army happens again, it will be dangerous." Leng Feng said worriedly.

The corners of Xie Jiyuan's mouth were slightly bitter, and Leng Feng's worries were not unreasonable.
