The system sent me to fight

Fifth War Zone Commander's Department.

When the news of Linhuaiguan victory came, Li Delin, Bai Jiansheng and others were not happy at all, because the problem that Yang Jing was worried about still happened.

The 16th Division of the Japanese Army, which was going northward by sea, actually did what Yang Jing had feared, and the 1st Brigade, an independent mixed group, suddenly went up the Yellow River and raided Lanfeng!

The most important thing is that Gui Shuzhen and others who were stationed in the Lanfeng area fled without a fight, which made it easy for the Japanese army to occupy this strategic location on the Longhai Railway and cut off the Longhai Railway in an instant.

The most important thing is that after the Japanese 16th Division captured Lanfeng.

From the perspective of the overall strategy, they have formed a four-sided encirclement of Xuzhou with the Central China Front Army south of the Huaihe River and the 114th Division entrenched in Lianyungang.

If Lanfeng is not recaptured as soon as possible, the hundreds of thousands of troops on the Xuzhou battlefield will all fall into the siege of the Japanese army, and the consequences will be disastrous!

At the same time, it also exposed the strategic ambition of the Japanese army to surround and annihilate the main force of the Fifth Theater in Xuzhou!

PS!Benefactors ask for monthly tickets!

Chapter 254 The situation has taken a turn for the worse, the funny Japanese Osaka division!

Lanfeng fell, and the Fifth Theater was surrounded by the Japanese army, which not only shocked Li Delin and Bai Jiansheng in the Fifth Theater.

Even the old man in Wuhan realized the seriousness of the situation.

After discussing with Chen Cixiu, He Jingzhi and others, it was decided to order Li Delin to lead the fifth war zone to immediately prepare to abandon Xuzhou and retreat to the Xi'an Hui area.

In order to preserve the vitality of our army and plan for a long-term war of resistance!

At the same time, he ordered the first war zone to form the Eastern Henan Corps, which assembled more than 10 troops, with Xue Boling as the commander-in-chief, preparing to counterattack the 16th Division of the Japanese Army.

Take back Lanfeng, a strategically important place, and open up the way for Xuzhou to retreat westward.

To respond to the retreat of the hundreds of thousands of main troops in the fifth theater of Xuzhou!

The screen is pulled to Xuzhou.

Fifth Theater Command.

The fall of Lanfeng led to the shattering of the current good situation, and General Li Delin couldn't help but curse out of anger: "I have been repeatedly reminded by Yang Jing that the defense of Lanfeng and other areas along the river should be strengthened in advance.

Unexpectedly, the little devil of Gouyue still took advantage of the loophole!

If Lan Feng falls, all our previous efforts will be in vain, this Lan Feng defender really deserves death!"

Bai Jiansheng also frowned, but he still comforted him: "Don't be angry, Mr. De. It's not that the old man didn't send troops to strengthen Lan Feng, but he sent Gui Shuzhen.

I never imagined that this mighty general of the Central Army, who has repeatedly made military exploits in the Songhu battlefield and also in the Jinling battlefield, would flee without a fight and easily abandon such an important place in Lanfeng!

As a result, the current battle situation has taken a turn for the worse!"

Li Delin gritted his teeth and said: "This Gui rate really abandoned Lanfeng to guard such an important place without authorization, which caused hundreds of thousands of troops in our fifth war zone to fall into a dangerous situation surrounded by Japanese invaders on all sides!

He is really greedy for life and afraid of death, betrays his faith, and disregards the righteousness of the nation. He deserves death! "

"Mr. De, as for how to deal with Gui Shuzhen, this is the old man's business. We should consider the retreat of the army as soon as possible." Bai Jiansheng said with a serious expression on his face, "Because, I am worried about the situation in Eastern Henan led by Xue Boling." Legion may not be able to regain Lanfeng! Destroy the 16th Division of the Japanese Army."

"A 10 army can't take a lone army deep into the area, and even the headquarters of the division is the newly formed 16th Division." General Li Delin's face became more and more ugly: "If this is the case, then he, Xue Boling, the first theater Don't be the former commander-in-chief of the enemy!"

"Xue Boling, nicknamed Tiger Cub, is capable of leading and commanding battles. If the 10 troops can all work together and obey orders, they will surely be invincible.

It is naturally not a problem to wipe out the 16th Division of the Japanese Army, which is a lone army in depth.

But I'm afraid, this Eastern Henan Army Corps composed of the Central Army, like Gui Shuzhen, each fights his own little ninety-nine. In order to preserve his own strength, all ministries cannot use their lives, cooperate sincerely, and unite sincerely. for their own responsibility.

Not to mention the delay of the fighters, it will also affect the retreat of our troops in the fifth theater!" General Bai Jiansheng said worriedly: "So, what I am really worried about is this. "

Li Delin subconsciously asked: "Brother Jiansheng, what can you do?"

"There is no way out."

Li Delin hurriedly urged: "Brother Jiansheng, what time is it, don't be a fool!"

Bai Jiansheng said slowly: "Right now, the only one that can completely annihilate the 16th Division of the Japanese Army and take back Lanfeng City is Yang Jing's Huben Regiment!"

"Tiger Group?"

"That's right!" Bai Jiansheng nodded his head heavily: "If Gui Shuzhen's troops are compared to a herd of sheep, then Yang Jing's tiger regiment is a herd of tigers and wolves.

With such a tiger and wolf division participating in the battle, coupled with the assistance of other daring Central Army troops, it should be no problem to recapture Lanfeng and wipe out the 16th Division!

Even if the Japanese army mobilizes the 1st Independent Mixed Brigade to attack Puyang, Yang Jing can wipe them all out! "

At the end, General Bai Jiansheng couldn't help showing confidence on his face.

Through the legends of the Songhu battlefield and Jinling battlefield last year, as well as the verification of the Taierzhuang battle, the abilities of Yang Jing and the Huben regiment have been fully recognized by him.

Even in the eyes of this little Zhuge, Yang Jing's Huben regiment is an invincible and omnipotent steel division!

It's just a pity that it would be great if China had two more such troops.

Li Delin was still quite worried and said: "I'm not worried about the fighting power of the Huben Regiment, but if this powerful force is sent there, what will happen to the Huaihe defense line?"

Bai Jiansheng said: "Mr. De, since our department has decided to abandon Xuzhou, after our theater headquarters has been transferred and withdrawn from Xuzhou, the defenders on the Huaihe River defense line can choose the opportunity to move to the junction of Henan and Anhui and the junction of Anhui and Jiangsu to break through.

Moreover, the 3rd Division of the Japanese Army has been disabled by the Huben Regiment, and the pressure on the Huaihe defense line is not as great as before.

When necessary, we can also mobilize the 74th Army over there to ensure safety! "

Li Delin thought for a while, and then said: "Yang Jing's Huben Regiment is in Linhuaiguan, and Yu Liangzhen's 74th Army is in Xuzhou.

Can we directly send the 74th Army to Lanfeng? "

Bai Jiansheng said: "Mr. De, if you want to send the 74th Army to help Lan Feng, it is not impossible!

But sending the Huben regiment over there will ensure nothing goes wrong! "

Li Delin was a little surprised to see Bai Jiansheng in front of him and said, "Brother Jiansheng, are you so confident in this Huben group?"

Bai Jiansheng asked back: "Just because the Huben Regiment has made so many outstanding military exploits, it has been invincible wherever it goes. Doesn't it prove the fighting power of the Huben Regiment?"

Li Delin nodded approvingly: "If that's the case, then immediately send electricity to Huben Group."

"Yes!"

Bai Jiansheng nodded, and immediately explained a few words to a communications officer next to him, asking him to generate electricity according to his own wishes.

It has to be said that General Li Delin may surpass General Bai Jiansheng politically.

But in the military, Xiao Zhuge still has a very strategic vision and tactical mind.

Even compared to General Li Delin, it is even worse.

The screen returns to Linhuaiguan.

Huben Regiment Headquarters.

"Tuan Zuo, the Commander's Department of the theater sent an urgent message that Lanfeng was lost, and the Commander's Department ordered us to go west immediately and join the counterattack against Lanfeng!

Take back Lanfeng at all costs, and wipe out the 16th Division of the Japanese Army that is alone in depth! Open up the road to the westward retreat of the main force of the fifth theater in Xuzhou! "

"What, Lan Feng has fallen?"

Yang Jing, Wei Shidong and others had just sent back the victory report, and were chatting while waiting for the commendation order.

Unexpectedly, what they were waiting for was such an emergency call, and everyone was shocked.

Wei Shidong stood up quickly, walked to the wall, looked at the huge battle map in front of him, and quickly found the location of Lanfeng City.

In just a moment, Wei Shidong's brows were tightly knit together.

Although he is a long-defeated general, but he can become the leader of an army, so how can he be a waste bag?

He still has a certain strategic vision, so he quickly realized the seriousness of the situation.

On the contrary, Yang Jing quickly calmed down. He first sighed in his heart, maybe this is the fate of history.

Then Yang Jing immediately withdrew his mind, and said to the battalion commanders nearby: "Bi Yuntao, Fan Tietou, you guys, gather your troops immediately and prepare to follow me to help Lan Feng!"

"Yes!"

Bi Yuntao, Fan Tietou and the others gave orders loudly, and after saluting, they turned and left.

Considering that the Huben Regiment suffered heavy casualties in the Battle of Linhuaiguan, in order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the Huben Regiment, the theater chief decided to transfer 31 troops from the 2000st Army to join the Huben Regiment.

As Yang Jing's sworn elder brother, Wei Shidong naturally obeys the orders of the war zone chief.

What's more, because of the arrival of the Huben Regiment, he has made several great military exploits at Linhuai Pass, and has been repeatedly rewarded by his superiors. Not only has he completely removed the hat of the long-defeated general, but he can stand proudly in the military circle with his chest up.

Even the road to promotion and fortune has gone a step further!

There are still so many wounded soldiers in the Huben regiment, it is obviously impossible to take all of them to Lanfeng, and the Field family has already started shipping.

Therefore, the establishment of base areas must also be put on the agenda as soon as possible.

So Yang Jing made the following arrangements.

First, 31 soldiers from the 2000st Army and more than 1000 soldiers from the supplementary battalion were added to the four main battalions to ensure that the four battalions were fully staffed.

Second, let Chief of Staff Ma Haifeng leave a company of troops to protect the wounded of the Huben Regiment, as well as the doctors and nurses in the field hospital, and evacuate westward.

At the same time, Yang Jing quietly gave Ma Haifeng an instruction to set up a base area belonging to the Huben Regiment at the Dabie Mountains west of Anhui.

After two hours, everything was ready.

Yang Jing made a simple mobilization, then walked up to Wei Shidong, Qin Wude, and Su Fufu and others, cupped his hands and said, "Brother! Sirs, the military order is in hand, and I will lead my troops to evacuate from Linhuai Pass. Let's fight together again!"

"Brother! My brother is waiting for news of your victory!"

"Consultant Yang, we are waiting for news of your victory!"

Everyone bowed their hands in return, with a hint of reluctance on their faces,

Yang Jing bid farewell to Wei Shidong, Qin Wude and other officers of the 31st Army, wounded soldiers from the Huben Regiment, and doctors and nurses from the field hospital.

Then he took the troops to Yongcheng and Shangqiu, and rushed to Lanfeng day and night.

Lan Feng.

After getting the old man's order.

Xue Boling immediately assembled 10 troops of the Eastern Henan Army, half of which were on the periphery preparing to block the reinforcements that the Japanese army might arrive at any time.

The remaining half was used as the main attacking force to besiege the various units of the Japanese 16th Division occupying Lanfeng and the surrounding important towns.

After a fierce battle, the Yudong Army, which had an absolute superiority in strength, successfully recaptured Lanfeng Station and entered the urban area.

On the other side, the 5th Division of the Japanese Army, the 11th Brigade and the [-]th Brigade were stationed and mixed into the main offensive forces on the frontal battlefields.

Because all the troops facing it in the fifth theater retreated overnight and moved westward according to the order.

Therefore, the Japanese army was able to take advantage of the situation to occupy Linyi and Tengxian areas.

Beiping, the headquarters of the Japanese North China Front Army.

After learning that the 16th Division captured Lanfeng and was besieged by hundreds of thousands of Chinese troops.

Shouichi, the old devil in the temple, suppressed his excitement, and immediately recruited his chief of staff Naozaburo Okabe, deputy chief of staff Akira Muto and others.

After looking around with sharp eyes, Terauchi Shouichi gave a brief account of the news that the 16th Division was under siege, and then asked: "This is the situation, everyone. I don't know what you think, what should we do now?"

When he said this, Terauchi Shouichi's gaze was fixed on Akira Muto, because he was the one who proposed the strategy of surprise attack on Lanfeng, so Terauchi Shouichi wanted to hear Akira Muto's opinion.

Akira Muto immediately stood up and reported: "Your Excellency, Commander! With the combat power of the 16th Division of the Imperial Army, it may not be able to defeat the 10 troops in China, but with the assistance of the aviation unit, there is absolutely no problem in self-protection.

In order to be sure, we can mobilize the independent mixed 1st brigade of Major General Sakai Koji from Puyang. "

After saying this, Akira Muto suddenly raised his tone, and continued: "Besides, what we really need to do now should be to take advantage of the defeat of the fifth theater of the Chinese Army to expand the results of the battle as much as possible! "

Terauchi Shouichi nodded approvingly, and motioned: "Mutou-kun, please continue."

"Hayi!" Akira Muto paused heavily, and then continued: "We can make the 5th Division and the stationed 11th Brigade, starting from Linyi and Teng County respectively, continue to march towards Taierzhuang and Xuzhou!

Let the fully replenished 114th Division also set off from Lianyungang again, and attack back and forth together with the 5th Division and the 11th Brigade stationed in the village!

After taking Xuzhou, continue to march westward along the Longhai Railway, following and chasing the main force of China's Fifth Theater retreating from Xuzhou.

At the same time, let the 4th Division of the Imperial Army, which had just come to the rescue from the Kanto, go south to Juye and Shanxian, and go straight to Yongcheng, the only place where the army of the fifth theater retreats must pass!

In order to cooperate with the Central China Imperial Army, annihilate the hundreds of thousands of troops in the fifth theater of the Chinese Army in one fell swoop! "

Regarding the first few suggestions put forward by Akira Muto, Shouichi Terauchi had no doubts.

Only ordering the Osaka Division to cut off the rear route of the fifth theater made him hesitate.

Because no one knows better than him what the Osaka Division is, it is simply a disgrace to the empire!

It's not enough to succeed, but it's more than ruined, and it's very good at holding back!
