The Japanese army advanced very quickly, but the first regiment directly under the Third War Zone retreated was not slow, and it was not long after that. Qu Xinji was given up.

At this time, the Japanese army was no longer the Japanese army a day ago. Now some Japanese army have guns and cannons, so they are not afraid of the national army at all. After all, in their opinion, the current national army is all driven by a mantis arm.

Although the Japanese artillery troops suffered certain losses, the base of more than 100 artillery pieces is not a joke.

The shells rumbling and exploded, but not many troops could stand it.

So, the Japanese army quickly took these nearby areas to occupy.

However, under Chiang Kai-shek's strict order, the large army of the National Army has gradually begun to form a huge encirclement on the periphery of Lanfeng again!

This time, even Hu Zongnan's first army was dispatched, and all they needed was to join the new force, and then encircle and annihilate the 14th Division of Lanfeng!

The combat goal of the Chinese Army Command is to solve the problem before the arrival of the large Japanese army, otherwise this would be extremely unfavorable to the national army!

On this point, both Chiang Kai-shek and Cheng Qian saw it very clearly.

It is absolutely impossible to carry out such a plan that harms the country and the people without any last resort. At the same time, they also know that if the embankment of the Yellow River Gardenkou is really blown up, the person who gave the order will be infamous forever!

...

Kaifeng, the headquarters of the First Corps.

Commander-in-chief Xue Yue could hardly suppress his anger at this time - he saw that his eyes were red at this time, his whole face was tense, as if he wrote a sentence on it: Bad, come and mess with me!

"Come here! Call the 27th Army immediately and ask where they are. Ask where they are now." Xue Yue was suppressing his anger. After all, Gui Yongqing's attitude now made him very angry.

Gui Yongqing looked very active in fighting Japan on the surface and was very obedient to command, but in fact, the troops were slow and slow, and it didn't seem like they wanted to go to the battlefield.

Which subordinate who is a subordinate who is lip service or disobedient?

As long as Xue Yue's head is normal, he must be very angry with such behavior - look at the 71st Army, under the fierce attack of the 87th Division, he just recaptured the Lanfeng Station outside Lanfeng City.

Only with comparison can there be harm. Compared with the rapid action of the 71st Army, the 27th Army is still on the road. Can Xue Yue feel relieved?

It is obvious that Gui Yongqing is delaying the fighter plane! Or rather, he is afraid of heavy casualties in the army!

"Yes! Sir!" A combat staff member responded, and then quickly followed Commander-in-Chief Xue's orders.

Not long after, the combat staff member returned. He said to Xue Yue: "Report to the commander, the commander of Gui Yongqing of the 27th Army re-entered the telegram. He said that the troops were already launching an attack on Gangtou!"

After learning the news, Xue Yue breathed a sigh of relief: This is better than being on the road, otherwise if Chairman Jiang is held accountable, how would he submit a job?

At this time, Lanfeng, if you look at it from the sky, it means that the 27th Army is capturing the military from Maoguzhai to the east of Lanfeng. Once the Gangtou is taken down, Maoguzhai and Lanfeng will be cut into two sections.

At this stage, Hu Zongnan's 17th Army (its only has one First Army under its command, so it is appropriate to say it is the First Army) attacked Maoguzhai east of Gangtou, while the troops of the 87th Division of the 71st Army attacked the Japanese positions outside Lanfeng County in a location west of Gangtou.

As for the west and south of Lanfeng, the 74th Army handed over to Yu Jishi and the 64th Army Li Hanhun.

For a moment, the war was very fierce.

At this moment, Song Xilian's military headquarters welcomed a man's request for advice, to be precise, an officer.

"Report to the military throne, Guo Qiliang, the acting leader of the First Regiment directly under the Third War Zone, asked for a meeting!" A guard ran to Song Xilian and reported.

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

After Guo Qiliang came in, he saluted Song Xilian directly and said, "Report to the military throne, the deputy commander and acting commander of the First Regiment directly under the Third War Zone, Guo Qiliang, will report to you specially at the order of the regiment commander Zhang Tianhai!"

When Guo Qiliang was saying the orders of the regiment commander Zhang Tianhai, he said it more seriously.

"What? Are you saying that you are following the orders of that boy Zhang Yulin?" Song Xilian could hardly believe his ears. It should be noted that Zhang Tianhai was detained in Kaifeng at this time?

"Yes, the military throne!" Guo Qiliang responded in a deep voice.

Looking at Guo Qiliang's very serious expression, Song Xilian couldn't help but smile and said, "Guo Qiliang, are you kid trying to deceive me? Does this army commander look so much like a fool with a burnt head?"

Faced with Song Xilian's doubts, Guo Qiliang had no fear at all. He said seriously: "There is absolutely no report to the military captain. It was the commander Zhang who gave him a humble position before leaving the regiment headquarters. You must meet the military captain at this time, and then tell the military captain that our regiment has made some preparations when leaving Lanfeng, which may be helpful to this battle."

"Oh? With this Zhang Yulin left some tricks for you before leaving you? Tell me, what preparations did you make?" The smile on Song Xilian's face disappeared, and instead changed to a serious attitude.

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

Guo Qiliang spent about a whole minute telling Song Xilian the whole story and details. The language logic was clear, but the key was that it was easy to understand.

After hearing this, Song Xilian asked in disbelief: "Be serious about this?"

"If there is a false saying in the humble official, please shoot the humble official!" Guo Qiliang stood attentively and saluted, his tone very serious. After all, he was involved in this matter personally, so he couldn't make any mistakes!

After hearing Guo Qiliang's promise, Song Xilian believed it. He spoke in a deep voice: "If this preparation is really useful, I will remember the first merits of you and Zhang Yulin at that time!"

"Thank you, Military Officer!" Guo Qiliang responded, but there was not much perfunctory.

Ignoring Guo Qiliang's words, Song Xilian said directly to the nearby Chief of Staff Zhong Bin: "Chief Zhong, order the 264th Brigade of the 88th Division and a regiment of the 87th Division to fight immediately to the south of Lanfeng City! Be sure to get two hundred meters south of the city! This is a dead order, do you understand?"

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

Whether it is for the 71st Army or the First Regiment directly under the Third War Zone, it is an excellent rescuing the crime of losing Lanfeng!

By then, when everyone talks about the Lanfeng Battle, most of them will think that it was taken back by their 71st Army!

Only in this way can the big hats that Long Muhan and Gui Yongqing tied to the head of the 71st Army because Long Muhan retreated without authorization can be removed!

PS: The second update is here!

Ahhhh. I almost couldn't catch up.

Let me explain again that this plot is very necessary and has a useful foundation for the subsequent text. Even if I think it is meaningless, I personally think I should finish watching it, otherwise it will look very abrupt.
Chapter completed!
