War of Resistance

Chapter 706 Goal, Lan Fengcheng South!
The advance speed of the Japanese army was very fast, but the retreat speed of the first regiment directly under the third theater was not slow, and it didn't take long for Qu Xinji to come out.

The Japanese army at this time is no longer what it was a day ago. Some of the Japanese army now have guns and cannons, and they are not afraid of the national army at all. After all, in their view, the current national army is like a cart.

Although the artillery units of the Japanese army suffered certain losses, the base number of more than 100 cannons is not a joke.

The rumbling shells exploded, but not a few troops could stand it.

Ever since, the Japanese army quickly occupied these nearby areas.

However, under the strict order of Chiang Kai-shek, the national army has gradually begun to form a huge encirclement circle around Lanfeng again!
This time, even Hu Zongnan's First Army was dispatched. What they needed was a fresh force to join them, and then they would encircle and wipe out Lan Fengzhi's No.14 Division!
The combat goal of the Chinese Army Command is to get rid of this place before the arrival of the large Japanese army, otherwise it will be extremely detrimental to the national army!
On this point, both Chiang Kai-shek and Cheng Qian can see it very clearly.

Unless it is a last resort, it is absolutely impossible to carry out such a plan that will harm the country and the people.At the same time, they also knew that if the levee at Huayuankou of the Yellow River really exploded, the person who gave the order would be infamous forever!

……

Kaifeng, the headquarters of the First Corps.

Commander-in-Chief Xue Yue could hardly suppress his anger at this moment - his eyes were flushed and his whole face was tense, as if he had written a sentence on it: Don't mess with me!

"Come on! Call the No.20 Seventh Army immediately and ask them where they are. Ask where they are now." Xue Yue was suppressing his anger, after all Gui Yongqing's attitude made him very annoyed.

On the surface, Gui Yongqing seemed to be very active in resisting Japan, and he was very obedient to the command, but in reality?The troops moved slowly, and it didn't feel like they wanted to go to the battlefield.

For this kind of subordinates who acted in obedience and indifference, which chief would like it?
As long as Xue Yue's head is normal, he must be very annoyed by such behavior-look at the No.70 First Army, under the onslaught of the No.80 Seventh Division, they just took back Lanfeng outside Lanfeng City. Close the station.

Comparing the No. 70 Army to move quickly, the No. 20 Seventh Army is still on the way. Does this make Xue Yue feel at ease?
It is obvious that Gui Yongqing is delaying the fighter plane!In other words, I am afraid that the troops will suffer heavy casualties!

"Yes! Sir!" A combat staff officer responded, and then hurriedly carried out Commander-in-Chief Xue's order.

Not long after, the combat staff officer came back, and he said to Xue Yue: "Report sir, Commander Gui Yongqing of the No. 20 Seventh Army replied. He said that the troops are already attacking the post!"

After hearing the news, Xue Yue breathed a sigh of relief: It's better to be in place than to be on the way. Otherwise, if Generalissimo Jiang is held accountable, how can this be done?
Lanfeng at this time, if viewed from the sky, is the No.20 Seventh Army's capture of Maoguzhai to the military point east of Lanfeng. Once the post is captured, Maoguzhai and Lanfeng will It was cut into two pieces.

At this stage, Hu Zongnan's No.17 Legion (whose subordinates only have one First Army under its jurisdiction, so it is appropriate to say that it is the First Army) is attacking Maoguzhai east of Gangtou, and No.70 First Army No. The troops of the 80th Seventh Division attacked the Japanese army's outer positions in Lanfeng County in the area west of Gangtou.

As for the west and south of Lanfeng, they were handed over to Yu Jishi's No.70 Fourth Army and Li Hanhun's No.60 Fourth Army respectively.

For a time, the war was very fierce.

At this time, Song Xilian's military department received a request from a person, to be precise, an officer.

"Report to the military seat, Guo Qiliang, acting head of the first regiment directly under the third war zone, please see me!" A guard ran to Song Xilian and reported.

Song Xilian said without thinking, "Okay! Let him in!"

After Guo Qiliang came in, he paid a military salute to Song Xilian directly, and said: "Report to the military seat, humble position, Guo Qiliang, the deputy head and acting head of the first regiment directly under the third war zone, under the order of the head Zhang Tianhai, I would like to express my sincere respect to you." check in!"

When Guo Qiliang said that he was ordered by the head of the regiment Zhang Tianhai, he said it a little more emphatically.

"What? You mean under the orders of that kid Zhang Yulin?" Song Xilian could hardly believe his ears. You must know, isn't Zhang Tianhai being imprisoned in Kaifeng at this time?
"Yes, military seat!" Guo Qiliang replied in a deep voice.

Seeing Guo Qiliang's serious expression, Song Xilian couldn't help laughing, and said, "Guo Qiliang, are you kidding me? This army commander looks so much like a fool with a burned-out head." Is it?"

Facing Song Xilian's questioning, Guo Qiliang showed no fear at all. He said very seriously: "Report to the military seat, absolutely not. It was the leader Zhang who gave his humble position before leaving the regiment headquarters. You must come to meet the military seat at this time. Then tell the military seat that our regiment has made some preparations before leaving Lanfeng, which may be helpful to this battle."

"Oh? The co-author of this piece of Yulin left you some tricks before leaving you? Tell me, what preparations have you made?" The smile on Song Xilian's face disappeared, and changed into a kind of Serious attitude.

After hearing Song Xilian's words, Guo Qiliang approached Song Xilian's ear, lowered his voice and said, "It's like this..."

It took Guo Qiliang about a full minute to tell Song Xilian the ins and outs and details of the matter. The language is clear and logical, and the key is that it is easy to understand.

After Song Xilian finished listening, he asked in disbelief, "Is this really true?"

"If the humble officer has a false statement, please shoot the inferior officer!" Guo Qiliang stood at attention and saluted, with a very serious tone. After all, he was also personally involved in this matter, so it can't be wrong!

After hearing Guo Qiliang's guarantee, Song Xilian believed it. He said in a deep voice, "If this preparation is really useful, then I will give you and Zhang Yulin the first credit!"

"Thank you for the military seat!" Guo Qiliang responded without too much perfunctory.

Ignoring Guo Qiliang's words, Song Xilian directly said to the nearby Chief of Staff Zhong Bin: "Chief of Staff Zhong, order the No. 80 Eighth Division 80th Brigade and No. 200 Seventh Division to immediately go south of Lanfeng City. Hit in the direction! Be sure to get close to [-] meters to the south of the city! This is a death order, do you understand?"

"Yes! Military seat!" After Zhong Bin responded, he immediately carried out Song Xilian's order without any hesitation.

Whether this is for the No.70 First Army or the First Regiment directly under the Third War Zone, it is an excellent way to redeem the mistake of losing Lanfeng!
At that time, when everyone mentioned the Battle of Lanfeng, most of them would think that it was taken back by their No.70 army!
Only in this way can the big hats on No.70's first army be removed because Long Muhan and Gui Yongqing retreated without authorization!

PS: The second update is here!
Ah ah ah.Almost missed it.

Let me explain again, this part of the plot is very necessary, and it is useful to pave the way for the following. Even if it is not interesting, I personally think it is better to read it, otherwise it will look very abrupt.
