Leng Feng knew about Lao Tang. When the "Black Sun" group closed special training, the so-called Yamato family historians mentioned this person in particular.

The war is about knowing oneself and enemy. Therefore, from the eyes of these people, they have gained a lot from the perspective of famous anti-Japanese generals like Tang Keqin.

The enemy's evaluation is sometimes the most objective.

It is certain that Lao Tang can fight. The Japanese army suffered a lot in his hands. The battle in Nankou has proved this, but Lao Tang was too arrogant and was a little arrogant.

In addition to an independent Hu Shoushan, there are also civil engineering groups of He Jingzhi and Chen Cixiu. The only one who can count the power is Lao Tang.

But Lao Tang did too much in some aspects, and relied on his direct descendants, favored him and generals, and did some things that were angry and resentful, and ended up miserable.

But at this time, Lao Tang was still a general who was good at fighting.

Since he wants autonomy, just give it to him. Just give it to him some basic binding force. Leng Feng believes that in addition to unified mobilization and command in such a large battle, he must also exert the subjective motivation of the captain of the troops below.

The battlefield is changing rapidly, and everything cannot be controlled by the command of the top.

This is actually a process of seizing power and delegating power, and it cares about the cooperation between the generals in command and the generals below.

This is actually a very complex art, involving not only personal military literacy, but also interpersonal interactions, trust, etc.

Li Delin was obviously annoyed by Tang Keqin's arrogance and rudeness. It was like a thorn piercing his mind. It was already very objective that the trust index did not drop directly to a negative number.

Even if Leng Feng is in that position, he has to express doubts whether he can fully trust Tang Keqin and whether he will mess up the entire strategic deployment.

He asked him to reinforce friendly forces, but he took the excuse to delay and refused to go there while he was alive, and even went against the headquarters.

There are all such situations.

Also, if you don’t ask for instructions, don’t report, or even report beyond your level, this is not only a matter of rules and face, but also a matter of the prestige of the generals of the system.

The commander who commands the battle situation is not able to suppress his generals. What do the generals of other troops in the same war zone think? Do you follow the same thing?

If this problem is not solved, no one can predict what will happen in the battle below.

In fact, Li Delin had already tried hard to communicate with Tang Keqin, but the results were not ideal. Comrade Tang did his own thing and obviously did not take him as the commander-in-chief of the war zone seriously.

Leng Feng's current identity is the deputy chief of staff of the theater. Li Delin fully trusts him, so whenever he encounters difficult problems, he will send a telegram to seek his opinions.

Of course, Leng Feng is not as good as his partner for many years, Vice President Bai Jiansheng, but one more person means one more reference. At least in Li Delin's opinion, Leng Feng has a flexible mind and bold mind, and does not admire Jiang so much, but is a trustworthy person.

Just for this trust, Leng Feng cannot give any advice casually.

After careful consideration and weighing the pros and cons, the best way to deal with it now is to let Tang Keqin fight, but at the same time, he must make three rules for him. This matter must be known to Lao Jiang, otherwise there will be no binding force.

This is equivalent to asking Tang Keqin to issue a military order.

With this military order, other generals in the Fifth War Zone will not be distracted. Those who dare to issue military orders are not ordinary people, and they will bear the consequences of failure.

Losing an official position is just a light thing, and that is a beheading.

However, this military order is not easy to establish. It is very difficult to define what the specific content is, what to do and what effect to achieve.

Therefore, this tests Li Delin's wisdom and experience.

The battle is imminent, and Li Delin slept very little every day. Generally, he only slept for four or five hours before getting up, and then he started to be nervous and busy.

The commander-in-chief of the theater not only needs to be in charge of military affairs, but also civil affairs matters need to be handled. The purpose of setting up the theater is to coordinate all the forces in the theater to fight against the war.

"Sir, Telegram No. 3!"

"Oh, so early?" When Li Delin woke up in the morning, he was walking in the yard. Huang Xuecun quietly walked behind him and handed over a telegram.

"Haha, okay, okay!" Li Delin's frown unfolded when he saw the content of the telegram and laughed loudly. Since he learned about the fall of Teng County, Huangxue Village has never seen his chief smile more than half.

"Brother Delin, what's so happy?" Bai Jiansheng came out of the room with a basin. He was obviously just getting up, familiar with the orderly force behind him.

"Jian Sheng is here, go in and talk." Li Delin smiled.

"So mysterious, I have to go in and say?" Bai Jiansheng handed the basin and towel to his orderly officer.

"Jiansheng, look at this telegram."

"It's another Secret Telegram No. 3?" Bai Jiansheng was no longer unfamiliar with the telegram's look up.

His old partner seemed to really use that person as his deputy chief of staff, instead of just giving him a title that he had.

Li Delin nodded.

"No wonder, it turned out that he won a battle and ate a Japanese squadron. This unit is powerful enough. He dared to counterattack while escaping. Who is the commander of this unit?" Bai Jiansheng asked in surprise.

"I don't know this. You know, we know even less about his troops. We only know that there are a group of young officers under him who fought with him from Nanjing. Although many of them are from Huangpu, they have the least qualifications in the army. After being trained by No. 3, these people are so powerful in just a few months. They are so powerful, and they are so scary!" Li Delin sighed.

"Brother Delin, you won't fall in love with No. 3 and want to recruit him as your son-in-law, right?" Bai Jiansheng joked.

"I need to have a daughter!" Li Delin smiled, "It's Brother Jiansheng, you have a daughter of the right age. You can try it when he comes."

"Brother Delin didn't know that he had already made a marriage contract with someone, and there was a woman who was unclear, and he was still not a little bit behind him?" Bai Jiansheng smiled.

"Is that so, that's a pity. I want to be the Moon Master for your Xiaohui!"

"Thank you, but I really want to see him now. The rising star who can make Brother Geng Guang look at must be a rare young talent!" Bai Jiansheng shook his hand quickly.

“GMD’s first person in the younger generation.”

"This evaluation is a bit over. He is so young, don't beat him up." Bai Jiansheng said in surprise.

"I believe in my vision, Brother Jiansheng, let's wait and see. No. 3 is a very special young man. Please keep it as soon as you see it."

"Is that so? I'm looking forward to it more and more." Bai Jiansheng said.

"What do you think of his advice?"

"Since you can't control it, you might as well let it go. Tang has a very old experience and he doesn't listen to us, so we really can't do anything about it." Bai Jiansheng said.

"Do you agree with No. 3's opinion?"

"I really like the courage of No. 3. Most people really can't do this. I have only seen this in the one in Yan'an. As for our President Jiang, I can only laugh."

"You are just talking about this here. If the Military Control Commission hears it, it will probably reach Mr. Jiang's ears in no time."

"Have we said less bad things about him?"

"That's true, haha..."

"What do you think of his suggestion?" Li Delin asked seriously.

"I think it's OK. As long as Tang Keqin is willing to cooperate, we can first draw up a telegram and submit it to Mr. Jiang." Bai Jiansheng felt that this might be the best way. At least if Tang Keqin shirked the responsibility, he might be the first person Jiang Jiang would not let him go.

The deployment of the Xuzhou Battle was decided by Chiang Kai-shek himself, and this time, Chiang Kai-shek really wanted to cause a heavy blow to the Japanese army in Xuzhou.

Although Chiang Kai-shek was sometimes soft and sometimes hard in his anti-Japanese war, it was impossible to make him surrender to the Japanese. This is something that anyone who knows Chiang Kai-shek knows.

Lao Jiang is still a little bit of backbone and will not be a Japanese puppet.

Therefore, if Lao Tang performs poorly in Xuzhou, the first person to not let him go is Lao Jiang himself.

"Oh, by the way, Sun Lianzhong of the Second Army called, and the 27th Division found the Japanese plainclothes team near Zaozhuang. He suspected that the Japanese army was very capable of going south from Zaozhuang, capturing Yi County, meeting with the Fifth Division, and taking direct access to Taierzhuang."

"Repeat the tactics of capturing Teng County?"

"Although the Japanese army delayed in Teng County for a week, they also tasted the sweetness of the big detour tactics. If they followed the previous style of play, they would not have thought of occupying Teng County within a week. The terrain east of Zaozhuang is flat and very suitable for the big detour of the mobile corps. Once the Japanese army adopts such a tactic, then we will arrange the defenders on the front line of Zaozhuang in Lincheng, and there is no meaning in the way!" Bai Jiansheng said.

"You mean the Japanese army wants to fight us in the Taierzhuang area?"

"It's not that there is no possibility. The Sakamoto Detachment of the Fifth Division is now blocked by our army in Linyi, but according to our intelligence, the Japanese army is likely to increase troops on Qingcheng. In this way, the pressure on Zhang and Pang, who are in front of Linyi, will suddenly increase." Bai Jiansheng said.

"Does Liu Weizhang know about this situation?"

"I know, last night, I discussed with him all night about the deployment of almost the first phase of the "Aprils' Day". The Japanese army can now use nearly 100,000 troops. I wonder if they will continue to increase their troops next. In this way, a major decisive battle is very likely to be caused in the Xuzhou area!"

"I want to convene a military meeting to unify my thoughts before the war."

"It can be opened, but in the current situation, the captain will not easily leave the command position, so it is hard to say how much it can come."

"After the Japanese army occupied Teng County, they did not go south immediately. I wonder why?"

"The Intelligence Department has no useful information yet, but judging from the loss of the Japanese army in Teng County, their battle almost destroyed the combat losses of a division for nearly a month. I think if they launch another attack, they must raise enough ammunition and supplies to replenish them!"

"Is there no movement in the Japanese supply line?"

"Yes, there were more than twenty military trains in Yanzhou from Jinan one day yesterday, an increase of one-third from weekdays." Huang Xuecun said hurriedly.

“What have you shipped?”

"There are large numbers of troops, ammunition, and especially shells that are supplemented with the 10th Division."

"The Japanese army fired nearly 40,000 shells in Teng County, and almost blown the entire county into ruins. It is really hard to imagine how the Sichuan army guarding the city survived and held on for seven days."

"The heroic deeds of the Sichuan Army must be promoted."

"clear!"

"Dong De and Commander-in-Chief Sun Zhen urgently sent a telegram that the Sichuan army that broke through arrived in Zaozhuang safely, with less than 2,000 people left in the entire army." Tan Yaodong, the confidential department, knocked on the door and reported.

"It's outstanding, okay!" Li Delin said happily. No matter how many people can come out, as long as they come out alive from the Japanese siege, it will be victory.

This is not only a victory for the Sichuan Army, but also a victory for the Fifth War Zone!

The Sichuan Army guarded Teng County for seven days. Although it was finally defeated, it was still prosperous even though it was defeated. It bought time for the fifth war zone to remove troops from the rear to complete the battle deployment.

There were more than 10,000 people, only 2,000 people were left in just seven days, and they were all killed in battle, which sounded very sad.

"The bloody battle lasted for seven days and nights, and the Teng County defenders successfully broke through!"

"The hero comes out of the river, how magnificent and sad!"

"Impression of bloody battle in Tengxian..."

A press conference on the defense of Teng County was held in Xuzhou. Chinese and foreign journalists gathered together, and the spotlight was flashing constantly. Chief Li Delin attended the press conference in person and accepted interviews from a group of reporters.

"From the 13th, the Japanese army broke through the south of the Border River and used tens of thousands of troops to attack Kondo Prefecture through Shahe and Dongshahe. Wang Zhizhong, the commander of our 122nd Division, fought bloody battles... Until the 20th night, he adopted the strategy of fighting west to attack the east and led his troops to break through the siege. Wang Zhizhong was injured, and Commander Chen Li was seriously injured, and more than 8,000 officers and soldiers were sacrificed. The people of Teng County suffered huge casualties..."

A poorly equipped and miscellaneous unit, which was pieced together from all over the world, left Sichuan, like a locust passing through the border. No one was willing to take it in. In fact, a shocking and wailing battle in Teng County was incredible. It was impossible to believe that it was fought by the Sichuan army.

After hearing the battle, the children of Tianfu set up mourning halls at home and held a grand memorial service. At the same time, a group of children from Sichuan who were inspired by the heroes left Sichuan again. They will go to the front line to write a new chapter of the Chinese people in Sichuan's War of Resistance and Saving the Country.

The sacrifice of the Sichuan Army and its determination to resist aggression surprised Western journalists. After giving this army high praise, they gradually changed their inherent views and prejudice towards the Chinese.

Louis Strong, a famous journalist at home and abroad, wrote in his article: "It's so great that these yellow-skinned Chinese soldiers are really amazing. It is impossible to conquer such a stubborn name, although they may have to endure a hundred bombings, a thousand massacres, and a thousand ordeals..."

The persistence of the Sichuan Army shocked the Chinese people and the world, and also touched some Japanese generals a lot. Although some Japanese generals did not change their purpose of invading China, their ideas on dialogue and combat strategies had undergone certain changes.
