Chapter 857: The Battle Situation
"Guoguang, I'm back, the Wuhan Military Commission called early in the morning, and we want to reorganize the troops left behind in Hankou by our new First Army into the Hankou Garrison Division, with no brigade-level establishment, three regiments, and about 6,000 people. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Oh, isn't this Hankou garrison division not affiliated with the New First Army?"
"Yes, the Hankou Garrison Division is subordinate to the Wuhan Garrison Commander's Department and is under the direct leadership of the Commander's Department." Xie Jiyuan nodded and explained.
"Who proposed this adaptation?"
"It's Commander-in-Chief Chen."
"Since it is the order of the Military Commission, my new army will follow it, has the commander of the garrison division been selected?" Leng Feng frowned, Chen Cixiu's relationship with him was okay, it shouldn't be a stab in the back, he did it for something else.
"Chief He is interested in Wan Yaohuang, and intends to let Wan Yaohuang serve as the commander of the Jiangbei District, but Commander Chen disagrees and recommends that our deputy army commander Ju concurrently serve as the commander of the Hankou Garrison Division and the commander of the Jiangbei District."
Saying this, Leng Feng understood that Ju Youlin himself was the deputy commander of the New First Army and the commander of the Hankou Garrison Division, but in fact, the Hankou Garrison Division was still under the command of the New First Army.
This is completely Chen Cixiu secretly increasing his strength, adding the number of a garrison division, and for the new army, the strength has naturally increased a lot.
But why did he show such goodwill?
Leng Feng couldn't figure it out for a while, and he was just thinking about leaving a force in Hankou in what name, but he didn't expect that this Commander Chen would be sent to the door.
This saved him a lot of planning.
"What is Chairman Chiang's attitude?"
"There is no news yet, but there is no objection to the idea of reorganizing our troops left in Hankow into the Hankow Garrison Division." Xie Jiyuan said.
"I'm going to see the distribution map of the enemy's forces in the five theaters."
"Yes, Throne!"
"This is the distribution map of the enemy forces in the Fifth War Zone and the eastern Henan region, which are all marked according to the latest battle reports, and the sand table is still in the process of being made." Leng Feng and Long Yingqin came to the war room together, and stood under a wall, on the wall was a huge map, this combat map was still used by the Japanese army, and the map of the national army was not as fine and accurate as the Japanese army.
Leng Feng began to look at it carefully and carefully, and the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became, the Japanese army had quietly completed the semi-encirclement of GJ in the Xuzhou area.
In addition to the section from Weishan Lake and Jinpu Road to Yanzhou, a red encirclement was drawn, and at least more than 100,000 Japanese troops were gathered.
This is not something that can be done overnight, Leng Feng saw a lot of unfamiliar troop numbers, the 2nd and 8th Divisions, the Sakai Detachment (TW's corps) Sakai Hoji, the 113th Brigade of the 105th Division, the 15th Division, and the 17th Division (garrison Nanjing)......
Although these troops are not the whole army into China, if this continues, how many people will these troops take if they really come in one day?
In fact, these troops did not enter China in a day, but they all entered China in the last week, and it is shocking that the Japanese army has moved so frequently and mobilized so quickly.
This is the manifestation of the huge war potential of an industrially developed country, and once it really moves, it is far from being comparable to that of China today.
Judging from the distribution of the Japanese army on the operational map, if the GJ of the Fifth Theater does not withdraw in time, I am afraid that it will be dangerous, and even if there is a retreat route of Weishan Lake, once the fight starts, it will be difficult to retreat.
What's more, it takes time to retreat, will the Japanese army give you time?
The purpose of this issue is set up.
In a timely strategic retreat, Lao Jiang still made a correct decision this time, unlike in the past, when he was so happy, his confused brain was hot.
"How many of our troops are there in the Xuzhou area?"
"Sun Fanglu's 2nd Group Army, the 46th Army, the 60th Army of the Dian Army, the 1st Army of the 20th Army and the 85th Army, as well as the 1st Army of Li Yannian's 2nd Army, and the troops directly under the theater, there are almost nearly 100,000 people."
Leng Feng nodded, although the distance between the Japanese troops on the map varied, but the nearest distance from Xuzhou was less than a hundred kilometers, if it was a mechanized army, it would be able to kill in a few hours.
"Does Chief Li have a telegram?"
"Yes, the headquarters of the commander of the Fifth Theater has begun to withdraw westward, and the personnel of some institutions are currently being evacuated, and the command organs are finally withdrawn, and it is expected that all the withdrawal will be completed within three days."
"The Japanese North China Front has just changed its commander, and next, the Japanese army in North China will also make some moves, what are the movements of the Japanese army in Tai'an and Jinan?"
"According to the reports obtained by forward reconnaissance, there is no abnormal situation with the Japanese troops stationed in Tai'an."
"Remind Commander-in-Chief Sun to beware of a sneak attack by the Japanese army." Leng Feng ordered.
Whining......
At this moment, the piercing air raid sirens sounded, everyone rushed out of the room, and there was a panic in the corridor.
Japanese air raids, bombing Xinxiang!
"Throne, danger, go to the bomb shelter!"
"What are you panicking about, air raids are not so terrible! Leng Feng and Leng Feng shouted, "Don't panic, go out one by one, remember to scramble, how did I tell you during the air defense exercise." ”
Panic is just a kind of conformist human mind, as long as someone can stand up, in fact, it is easy to curb the spread of this emotion.
At 9:40 a.m. on 8 June, a total of eight Japanese warplanes flew to Xinxiang and carried out an indiscriminate bombing of Xinxiang City, destroying more than 100 houses and killing more than 200 civilians and more than 40 soldiers and policemen.
The Japanese army also dropped slogans to intimidate the New First Army and the people of Xinxiang, and if the New First Army did not take the initiative to withdraw from northern Henan, the next bombing opportunities would continue to come.
Leng Feng was so angry that he couldn't do it, the Japanese army was driven out of northern Henan by him, and he was so arrogant and arrogant.
The New First Army had not yet fully controlled northern Henan, so the air defense early warning mechanism had not been established, and the air defense alarm was raised only when the planes were flying.
That's why there are huge casualties.
In addition, the military headquarters of the New First Army and some military and political institutions also encountered the focus of Japanese aircraft.
Obviously, the Japanese bombing was a premeditated operation, and although these institutions were once used by the Japanese army, after the New First Army entered Xinxiang, they took over these buildings of the Japanese army, and some of them were forcibly taken back, and only some of them were confiscated or used as military and political offices.
The problem is that the investigation after the air raid shows that these returned people have hardly been hit by bombs, and those that have been used for the government and the army have been bombed a lot, especially some important institutions, such as logistics warehouses, field hospitals, etc., have been bombed by the Japanese army.
Incendiary bombs were also used in the logistics warehouse, but fortunately, the materials in the warehouse had been transferred in advance, otherwise the losses would have been great.
Of course, some big targets may have been mastered by the Japanese army, after all, this is the place they originally occupied, but there are some places, which are on busy streets and residential areas, and these targets have also been bombed.
It's a precision throw.
In this era, there is no ground guidance, and it is too difficult to achieve accurate throwing, and it is common for an aerial bomb to go down from a height of several hundred meters and deviate from dozens of meters, even if it is dive bombing, it is impossible for a bomb to completely hit the target.
The headquarters of the New First Army was also bombed, but the damage was not significant, several houses collapsed, and five or six people were killed and wounded, one of whom died of serious wounds.
The news quickly gathered that some people saw suspicious people near the targets of some important government and military agencies, and when the air raids came, these suspicious people released something similar to the signal to the sky, and some set off fireworks and so on.
"Check, dig out these Japanese spies and traitors for me, and once your identity is confirmed, shoot them on the spot!" Leng Feng handed Yang Rui and the others to his office and slapped the table angrily.
"Junza, I was too careless, I didn't want to fight these Japanese spies and traitors and dare to do these things under our eyes and noses." Yang Rui was also angry, he was busy with public security in the past two days, and the screening of Japanese spies and traitors was slightly relaxed.
Who would have thought that this would be a little bit of a release, and there would be such a thing.
Bloody lesson.
"Sending a bounty notice and mobilizing the power of the people, I believe that this will be of great help to us to find out these bastards." Leng Feng commanded.
"Yes, I'll do it right away."
"Come back, this Japanese air raid is a wake-up call for us, and the next step is to improve our air defense early warning system, if the enemy has the first time, there will be a second time, and we can no longer be as careless as today."
"Understood, Commander."
This is just the beginning, the cold front has long been psychologically prepared, without air supremacy, it can only be bombed, even if the early warning system reflects in time, it can only avoid greater casualties and losses, but it cannot change the situation of being bombed.
He really wants to have a powerful air force in his hand now, and he can compete with the Japanese army well, and the little devil parents don't know them.
It's a pity that the Qiao woman can't cook without rice, and he now has an airplane in his hand that can be driven, and it is still an old plane with outdated technology, which is really infuriating.
"Junzao, Deputy Director Shen is here."
"Ask him to come in."
"Throne!" Shen Shuyi walked into Leng Feng's office and gave Leng Feng a military salute first.
"Shuyi, please take a seat, Xiao Xia will pour a glass of water for Deputy Director Shen."
"Yes."
"Throne, I have a major discovery." Shen Shuyi sat down and said in a somewhat excited tone.
"What discovery?"
"About that veterinarian Kameda Jiro, didn't you ask me to identify him, I've been observing him for the past few days, almost eating and living with him, and I really found something suspicious about him." Shen Shuyi reported.
"What's the doubt?" Leng Feng was also curious, what Shen Shuyi had discovered, and now, Takashi Sakai still didn't see anyone alive or dead.
"Takashi Sakai had a toothache when he was a military attache in the consulate in Jinan, and he went to a dental clinic to have a back molar tooth extracted, which means that Takashi Sakai was missing a back molar, and when we did a physical examination of the prisoners of war, we left a record that this Kameda Jiro was also missing a back molar." Shen Shuyi said.
"This doesn't mean anything, many people have had their posterior molars extracted, and the absence of posterior molars can only be a coincidence."
"Yes, I think so too, but this dental clinic should still be there, even if the dental clinic is gone, the doctor who extracted Takashi Sakai is also there, as long as we find this dentist, we will be able to confirm Takashi Sakai's identity."
"Dentist, a dentist in Jinan City, this was a few years ago?"
"Five years."
"It's been five years, are you sure this dentist is still around?" Leng Feng asked rhetorically, "Can't you find a photo of Takashi Sakai?" ”
"No, I've already asked Boss Dai, he checked, because of the Jinan tragedy, when he was in Jinan, he was assassinated by this person several times, and he basically didn't appear in public, so I couldn't find his photo." Shen Shuyi said.
"It seems that he had expected such a day and prepared in advance."
"Shuyi, a person can change his identity and face, but there are some things that can't be changed, such as blood type, fingerprints, and some subtle living habits and small movements, maybe he didn't notice it himself."
"Military seat, blood type information is not difficult to get, but fingerprints are difficult."
"It's much easier than finding the dentist to testify, don't we have a lot of seizures, some of which have not been touched at all, maybe there are unexpected gains?" Leng Feng reminded.
He himself felt that he might have gone through a misunderstanding and ignored the role of some evidence, and now that he thinks about it, he may have been a little conceited with a game mentality at that time.
However, Leng Feng touched his mouth so much, in fact, Shen Shuyi really had to do it, and the workload was very large.
