"Niang Xipi's, this look is his article, his sharp pen is not something that any person can imitate." Lao Jiang angrily threw a copy of "Xinhua Daily" on his desk.

Openly and sarcastically, I can't find a handle throughout the article, who can do this?

"Sir, would you like to ask Mr. Bray to write an article to fight back?" Lin Wei asked in a worried whisper.

Chen Bulei smiled bitterly, can he compare with that one, isn't this boring?

"What do you think, Mr. Blei?" Lao Jiang also knew that this was an embarrassing job, and he didn't want to embarrass himself, so he kicked the ball to Chen Bulei.

"This article is impeccable, sir, please forgive Chen for being incompetent, I can't refute it." Chen Bulei is not a fool, and the person who fought in the ring, and the person who was disgraced in the end must be him, maybe he will be ruined for a lifetime.

Lao Jiang also knows Chen Bulei's temper, as long as such an article is persecuted, it can't be written, even if it is written, it will not be an anti-dog, and when the time comes, it will make people laugh at it, and the gains outweigh the losses.

"Then we can't let them be like this, so ......"

"Can Pukou see this newspaper?"

"This is impossible, but there is also a radio station in the office of the Eighth Route Army, which can contact the Honor First Division, didn't they have contact with Leng Feng last time?"

Lao Jiang's face is very ugly, isn't this showing his rewards and punishments unfairly in front of the world?

However, it seems that it is a little late to remedy it now, if there is still a chance before this, but now, if he remedies, it will not be that he takes the initiative to reward, but that he is forced to admit it.

Lao Jiang is a person who can forbear. At this time, he also knew that if he didn't react, then the rift would expand little by little, and once people's hearts were detached, it would be difficult to take it back.

"Gui Shuzhen has always wanted Qiu Qingquan to go over, but I didn't agree. That being the case, let Qiu pass. Lao Jiang thought for a while.

"What position did Qiu hold in the past?"

"Lieutenant General of the 46th Division."

"Yes, sir!" Lin Wei's heart suddenly burst and asked, "What about Leng Feng?" ”

"Awarded the Order of the Blue Sky and the White Sun, promoted to major general, and honored as the commander of the first division." Lao Jiang thought about it and almost gritted his teeth and said it.

He was really a little reluctant, and there was always a little bit of reluctance in this matter. Although Leng Feng is his own student and his own family, after all, he is too young and rises too fast, which is easy to have an unstable foundation, and it is not conducive to control.

He has his own trade-offs in employing people, but in Leng Feng, he has a dilemma. Hesitant mentality.

He himself couldn't tell why, and there was always a feeling that he wasn't very steady.

But. The credit is there, as long as he doesn't make any big mistakes, he can't suppress it if he wants to, and it's only a matter of time before he gets promoted.

This is not the time when the Republic of China was created, and the grass kings everywhere grabbed a lot of them, and I don't know how many people called themselves generals. Some military ranks are only awarded casually by themselves, and the standards are different.

Now it is different, age and seniority are an important consideration when awarding titles, of course, as soon as the war begins, the factor of military merit accounts for a large proportion. This is also a different support in wartime, a general who is less than thirty years old, it is almost impossible to rely on seniority, it can only be military exploits.

Like Leng Feng, who went from a small ensign to a major general in two months, it can be said that it is unique, and I am afraid that someone will be able to break this record later, not to mention that he is only 25 years old this year.

Too young, the young old Jiang felt jealous.

The Order of the Blue Sky and the White Sun, the highest honor awarded to a general who resisted foreign aggression, was most recently awarded to Xie Jiyuan and Yang Rui in the Lone Army Battalion in recognition of their outstanding performance in the Battle of the Four Elements.

Leng Feng's perseverance in Nanjing and the war of resistance behind enemy lines have made outstanding contributions, and he won this Blue Sky and White Sun Medal, and it is estimated that no one dares to raise objections.

Therefore, when Lao Jiang said this, there is basically no suspense, as long as it is submitted to the Military Commission for a meeting and discussion, it is a formality.

Sure enough, as soon as Lao Jiang's proposal was mentioned at the meeting, it was unanimously approved, and some people even felt that it should have been done a long time ago, and it was a little late to grant it now.

The fierce battle at the front continued, and on February 9, the Japanese army, under the command of Mitsuru Ushijima, with the assistance of Japanese aircraft and gunboats, once again launched a fierce supply to Yukeikou.

After a day of fierce fighting, the Japanese planes and naval guns almost razed the entire Yuxikou to the ground, but this important port town on the Yangtze River was firmly in the hands of the new 38th Brigade.

The Japanese army once again paid the price of more than 500 casualties, but still failed to go ashore, and Ushijima Mitsuru became more and more sure that the Chinese army on the other side was his old opponent, the independent new 38th Brigade.

It's a pity that his views were not recognized by the commander of Lieutenant General Shiro Inaba's division.

In fact, when Ushijima Mitsuru commanded the Japanese army to attack Yuxikou for a day without success, Inaba Shiro received a call from Shunroku Hata from Nanjing, in which Shunroku Hata was scolding people almost from beginning to end, and Shiro Inaba was in a bad mood.

Ushijima Mitsuru failed to attack again, which also gave Shiro Inaba an excuse to divert his gaze and vent his anger in his heart.

Ushijima was called over by Shiro Inaba and reprimanded, never mentioning the fact that the Chinese army at Yuxikou was the new 38th Brigade, but only expressing his serious dissatisfaction with the failure of the landing battle commanded by Ushijima Mitsuru.

Ushijima Man lost the battle, naturally his waist is not so hard, and he is trained, and he doesn't dare to refute it, and he has to constantly admit his mistakes to ensure that he will not do it again next time.

When he came out of Shiro Inaba's office, someone told him that the Chinese army on the other side was the new 38th Brigade that he had suspected before, his old opponent in Xuancheng.

Ushijima's lungs exploded, Shiro Inaba was so despicable that he didn't tell himself such important information, but relied on himself as the commander of the division, and blamed himself for all the mistakes.

At this time, he just wanted to find Inaba Shiro to theorize too late, he was already scolded, and he took the initiative to admit his mistake.

What to do, Ushijima gritted his teeth with hatred, so he decided to prove himself with his actions, who was the incompetent guy.

Pukou, the headquarters of the 1st Division of Honor.

"Luo Luo's fight is good today, but the casualties are not small. Ammunition consumption is almost three times the amount of combat in a day. Qiu Qingquan said with a stack of battle reports.

"Yes, according to their battlefield statistics, in addition to the casualties of our civilians, our casualties are still above the Japanese army, and the Sixth Division is worthy of being the main field division of the Japanese army, and its combat effectiveness is indeed extraordinary." Leng Feng nodded.

"Such a war of attrition. The first thing that could not bear it was the Japanese army, they lost nearly 2,000 people in two days, and we were half of him, even if the next one to one casualties, it is estimated that this is not something that the Japanese army can bear. Qiu Qingquan said.

"What does the division mean that they will find another way to break through the Yuxi Pass or find another landing site?"

"Well, the Japanese have always been tactics like this, and if a frontal attack is blocked, they will use a roundabout tactic. It's almost customary. ”

"I agree, so I let Lao Luo place a regiment of troops in Wujiang and He County, when the Japanese army besieged Nanjing, it was from Cihu Town to the north to land in Wujiang Town, and then all the way to Pukou, the new 38 Brigade also chose this route, but there are many wharves on the north bank of the Yangtze River along the way, and there are not many suitable for mechanized troops to land. Let's take a look and know, from the mouth of Yuxi down the river. Xiliang Mountain, Baidu Bridge, Laoxia Town......"

"If the Japanese army chooses another landing site, they must determine the next target of action, whether it is aimed at the new 38th Brigade or directly coming at us. It's worth considering. ”

"Hmm."

"Long Yingqin, Guo Weiquan, you two talk about it, if you are the commander of the Japanese army, how will you deploy?"

"If I'm a cow island. Naturally, we chose a landing point that was relatively close to Yuxikou, such as Xiliangshan or Baiduqiao, both of which have roads, which are convenient for the troops to move quickly, and moreover, they can also cut off our communication and supplies with Pukou. Long Yingqin said.

"What about specific tactics?"

"Continue to attack Yuxikou with a part of the force, attract the attention of our army, and send another detachment to raid and occupy the landing point, establish an advance position, and then land on a large scale to annihilate our troops or drive them out of Yuxikou."

"What about you, Wei Quan?"

"My opinion is similar to that of Staff Officer Long, if the Japanese army wants to land, it will definitely choose a place close to Yuxikou, so that it can maneuver quickly."

"Ushijima is not an ordinary officer, he will not only think about seeking revenge from the new 38th Brigade, then such an enemy is not a matter of concern at all, and it will be a matter of time before we defeat Japan." Leng Feng said.

"Boss, you're saying that Ushijima will come straight to us?"

"It's not impossible, Ushijima is full of rare tacticians in the Japanese army, is it possible for a decent Japanese officer to become a tactician?" Leng Feng asked rhetorically, "Although I don't know what choice this Ushijima Man will make, if I were him, I would definitely not be entangled in Yuxikou again, because that would only be a waste of casualties and a waste of time." Leng Feng said, "I will choose to land in Wujiang Town, follow the old path of the original Guosaki Detachment and the new 38th Brigade, and then wave the division directly to the east, and kill us by surprise." ”

"This thing is one, but two, not three, doesn't Ushijima know this truth?"

"It is precisely because he knows that he will make this choice, as long as he makes the appearance of continuing to attack Yuxikou, of course, it is not a feint, and the intensity of the attack remains the same, and then send a force like the new 38th Brigade to quietly move to Cihu Town, and then cross the river in one fell swoop, occupy Wujiang Town, and at the same time establish a landing point to continuously transport the Japanese mechanized troops to the north bank, which is easier for the Japanese army to do than us, they have warships and large barges." Leng Feng said, "Then, this Japanese army will quickly attack to the east and disrupt our layout. ”

"If the Japanese army wants to do this, it will affect our plan to annihilate the 65th Wing of the Japanese Army in Dongge and Xige Town."

"That's right, we didn't show any intention of annihilating the 65th Wing of the Japanese Army, so this battle plan of Ushijima Manitsu may not be approved by the Japanese Shanghai Dispatch Army Command, and the lone army is in danger of being wiped out, unless they can concentrate the strength of a brigade, which is impossible for the Japanese army to do in a short time, otherwise they will not be able to hold such a long front." Leng Feng nodded.

"The Japanese army should choose a relatively conservative and steadily advancing plan, which is more in line with their current reality." Qiu Qingquan also agrees with Leng Feng's analysis.

"But it is not excluded that Ushijima will go it alone, there are a few such examples in the Japanese army, and there are contradictions in the Japanese army's strategy towards China, the conservatives do not want to move too fast, and always want to limit the actions of the Japanese army in China, while the Shaozhuang faction hopes to destroy us quickly, they repeatedly violate orders on the battlefield, and finally force the upper echelons to change their plans again and again, Ushijima is full of officers of the Shaozhuang faction, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will not take the risk of going it alone." That's what Leng Feng was worried about.

"Looks like we're going to have to do both." Qiu Qingquan said.

"It's the only way, as long as Ushijima doesn't have any available troops, then he has a lot less choice." Leng Feng nodded.
