"It's my mother, this is obvious to him. His sharp pen tip cannot be imitated by anyone." Lao Jiang angrily threw a copy of the "Xinhua Daily" on his desk.

He is openly praised and implicitly mocked, but he still can't find a handle throughout the article. Who can do this?

"Sir, do you want Mr. Bu Lei to write an article to fight back?" Lin Wei asked in a low voice in anxiety.

Chen Bulei smiled bitterly, can he compete with that person? Isn’t this self-inflicted?

"Mr. Bu Lei, what do you think?" Old Jiang also knew that this was a difficult job, and he didn't want to make things difficult for him, so he kicked the ball to Chen Bu Lei.

"This article is impeccable. Sir, please forgive Chen for being incompetent and cannot refute it." Chen Bulei is not a fool. He must have been the one who was in a bad position in the end. Maybe he will be the one who has a lifetime of fame and his reputation will be gone.

Jiang also knew Chen Bulei's temper. As long as such an article was forced to write, it would not be possible. Even if it was written, it would be a dog that would be a dog. At that time, it would make people laugh at it and it would not be worth the loss.

"Then we can't let them do this, this..."

"Can you see this newspaper in Uraguchi?"

"This is impossible, but there is also a radio station in the Eighth Route Army Office. You can contact the Honorary First Division. Didn't they have contact with Leng Feng last time?"

Lao Jiang looked very bad. Isn’t this showing off his unfair rewards and punishments in front of the world?

However, it seems to be a bit too late to remedy now. If there is still a chance before this, but now if he remedys, it will not be his own reward, but he is forced to admit defeat.

Lao Jiang is a person who can tolerate it. At this time, he also knew that if he did not react again, the crack would expand little by little, and the hearts would be separated from virtue. It would be difficult to take it back.

"Gui Shuzhen always wanted Qiu Qingquan to go over, but I didn't agree. Since that's the case, let Qiu go over." Old Jiang thought for a while.

"What position did Qiu hold in the past?"

"Lieutenant General of the 46th Division."

"Yes, sir!" Lin Wei asked in his heart, "Where is Leng Feng?"

"Give the Blue Sky and White Sun Medal, be promoted to Major General, and be honored as the commander of the First Division." Lao Jiang thought for a while and almost gritted his teeth and said it.

He was really reluctant, and there was always a little bit of reluctance in this matter. Although Leng Feng was his own student or his own family, he was too young and promoted too fast, which was easy to be unstable and not conducive to control.

He had his own considerations for people, but Leng Feng felt a dilemma and hesitant mentality.

He himself couldn't explain why, and he always felt uneasy.

However, the credit is there, as long as he doesn’t make any big mistakes, he can’t hold back even if he wants to. It’s only a matter of time before he can get promoted.

This was not the time when the Republic of China was founded. There were a lot of grass-headed kings in various places, and there were countless people who claimed to be generals. Some of them were only granted by themselves casually, and the standards were different.

Now it is different. Age and qualifications are an important consideration when awarding titles. Of course, as soon as the war begins, the factors of military achievements account for a large proportion, which is also different support during the war. It is almost impossible for a general under thirty years old to rely on qualifications, and it can only be military achievements.

It is unique to Leng Feng, who has gone from a young lieutenant to a major general in two months. 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. Young Jiang felt jealous.

The Blue Sky and White Sun Medal is the highest honor for rewarding generals who resist foreign aggression. The most recent award was to Xie Jiyuan and Yang Rui from the lonely army camp for their outstanding performance in the battle to defend the four lines.

Leng Feng's persistence in Nanjing and the war behind enemy lines made outstanding contributions. He won the Blue Sky and White Sun Medal, and probably no one dared to object.

So, after Chiang Kai-shek said this, there is basically no suspense. As long as you submit it to the Military Commission for a meeting and discuss it, it will be a formality.

Sure enough, when Lao Jiang mentioned this suggestion at the meeting, he was approved unanimously. Some people even thought that it should have been like this long ago, and it is a bit late to grant it now.

The fierce battle ahead continued. On February 9, under the command of Niujima Man and the assistance of Japanese planes and gunboats, the Japanese army once again launched a fierce supply to Yuxikou.

After a fierce battle, the Japanese army's planes and naval guns almost flattened the entire Yuxikou, but this important port town on the Yangtze River was still 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 get ashore. Niujima Man is increasingly sure that the Chinese team on the other side is his old opponent, the Independent New 38th Brigade.

Unfortunately, his views were not recognized by General Inaba Shirou.

In fact, just when Niujima Mitsuhiro commanded the Japanese army to attack Yuxikou and returned in one day without success, Inaba Shiro received a call from Hata Shunji to him from Nanjing. Hata Shunji was cursing almost from beginning to end, and Inaba Shiro was in a bad mood.

The failure of Ushimashima's attack once again also gave Inaba Shiro an excuse to divert his sight and vent his anger.

Niujima Man was called over by Shiro Inaba and scolded him. He never mentioned the fact that Yuxikou's Zhongzhao team was the New 38th Brigade. It only expressed his serious dissatisfaction with the failure of Niujima Man's landing battle once again.

Niushima Man was defeated, so he naturally had not been so hard. He was scolded and did not dare to refute him. He had to constantly admit his mistakes and ensure that he would not make another mistake next time.

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

Niushima was so angry that he was so angry that Inaba Shiro was so despicable that he didn't tell him such important information. Instead, he relied on his own as the commander of the division and blamed himself for his mistakes.

At this time, he just wanted to go to Shiro Inaba to argue, it was too late, he had been scolded, and he took the initiative to admit his mistake.

What to do? Niujima gritted his teeth with hatred, so he decided to use his actions to prove himself who is the incompetent guy.

Pukou, honors the first division.

"Crazy Luo fought well today, but the casualties were not small, and the ammunition consumption was almost three times the amount of battle a day." Qiu Qingquan said with a stack of battle reports.

"Yes, according to their battlefield statistics, in addition to our casualties, our casualties are still above the Japanese army. 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.

"The first thing that cannot stand such a war of attrition is the Japanese army. They lost nearly 2,000 people in two days. And we are half of it. Even if the next one-to-one casualties are lost, it is probably not something that the Japanese army can bear." Qiu Qingquan said.

"What the master means is that they will find other ways to break through Yuxikou or find another place to land?"

"Well, the Japanese army's tactics have always been like this. If the frontal attack is blocked, they will use roundabout tactics, which is almost common."

"I agree, so I asked Lao Luo to place a regiment of troops in Hehe County, Wujiang. When the Japanese army besieged Nanjing, they landed in Wujiang Town from Cihu Town to the north and then fought all the way to Pukou. The new 38th Brigade also chose this route, but there are many docks on the north bank of the Yangtze River, and not many suitable for mechanized troops to land. Let's take a look and you will know that you will flow down from Yuxikou, Xiliangshan, Baiduqiao, and Laoxia Town..."

"If the Japanese army chooses another landing location, they must determine the next target, whether to target the new 38th Brigade, or to rush to us directly, this is worth considering."

"Um."

"Long Yingqin, Guo Weiquan. Tell me, what would you do if you were Japanese commander Niu Daoman, how would you deploy?"

"If I were a Niudao, I would be so tragic at Yuxikou. I would definitely take revenge. Naturally, I chose a landing point closer to Yuxikou, such as Xiliangshan or Baidu Bridge. Both places have highways, which facilitate the rapid maneuver of the troops, and can also cut off our connection and supplies with Pukou." Long Yingqin said.

"What about the specific tactics?"

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

"Where are you, Wei Quan?"

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

"Niujima Man is not an ordinary officer. He will not just want to seek revenge on the new 38th Brigade. Such an enemy is not worth worrying about. It will be a matter of time before we defeat Japan." Leng Feng said.

"Boss, you mean, Ushima Man will come to us directly?"

"It's not impossible. Niujima Man is one of the few tactical masters in the Japanese army. Is a pretty Japanese officer a good Japanese officer possible to become a tactical master?" Leng Feng asked back, "Although I don't know what choice this Niujima Man would make, if I were him, I would definitely not be entangled with Yuxikou anymore, because that would only waste casualties and a waste of time." Leng Feng said, "I would choose to land in Wujiang Town, follow the old path of the Guoqi Detachment and the New 38th Brigade, and then wave the division directly to advance eastward and catch us off guard."

"This matter is one, two, not three. Does Niujima Man know this truth?"

"It is precisely because he knows that he chooses this way. As long as he continues to attack Yuxikou, of course it is not a feint attack, and the attack strength remains unchanged. Then he sends a unit to Cihu Town like the New 38th Brigade, and then crosses the river in one fell swoop, occupying Wujiang Town, and establishes a landing point to transport the Japanese mechanized troops to the north shore. This is easier for the Japanese army than us. They have warships and large barges." Leng Feng said, "Then, this Japanese army will quickly assault eastward and disrupt our layout."

"If the Japanese army wants to do this, it will affect our plan to annihilate the 65th Japanese Regiment in Dong and Xige Town."

"Yes, we did not show our intention to annihilate the 65th Japanese Regiment. Therefore, this combat plan of Niujima Mitsukoshi may not be recognized by the Japanese Shanghai Expeditionary Force Command. Moreover, the army goes deeper alone and is in danger of being eliminated. Unless they can concentrate the forces of a brigade, this will not be possible for the Japanese army in a short time, otherwise they will be unable to defend such a long front." Leng Feng nodded.

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

"But it is not ruled out that Niujima Man would do it alone. There are many such examples among the Japanese army. There are also contradictions in the Japanese strategy towards China. Conservatives do not want to move too fast and always want to limit the Japanese army's actions in China. The young and strong faction hopes to destroy us quickly. They repeatedly violated orders on the battlefield, and finally forced the upper class to change their plans again and again. Niujima Man is an officer of the young and strong faction, so it is hard to guarantee that he will not take the risk of doing it alone." Leng Feng was worried about this.

"It seems we have to prepare for both things." Qiu Qingquan said.

"That's all. As long as Niushima has no available troops, he will have much less choice." Leng Feng nodded.
