King of Secret Service

Liang Xiao waved his hand, signaling him not to speak, he has to think about it, if it is really irreversible, then the only way to go is to give up Zhengzhou, he himself can contribute to the war of resistance, but his 26th Army has more than 2 soldiers, they all There are parents, wives and children, if they all die in Zhengzhou, more than 2 families will lose their pillars, which is what he does not want to see.

"Respond to the Northern Bureau and let them confirm the authenticity of the information. In addition, call the headquarters of the Anti-Japanese War Association and ask Zhao Xin to order the Anti-Japanese War Branch in the Pingjin area to find out whether the Seventeenth Division of the Japanese Army is going to participate in the war outside Zhengzhou City."

"Yes."

Tang Menghan turned and left.

Liang Xiao pondered for a while, then said: "The Japanese army has 7 to 2 troops,,, our army has more than [-] troops, the disparity in strength is too great."

"Boss, there is another way."

A flash of madness flashed in Zhou Shiji's eyes, and he said: "With Zhengzhou as the central area, if we conduct a big battle, we can report to the Military and Political Council and transfer other troops of the Central Army to station in Zhengzhou. Our 26th Army will quietly withdraw, and then the whole army will go around to the Japanese army. The flank of the Japanese army suddenly launched an attack, which caught the Japanese army by surprise."

"Jumping to the periphery and maneuvering is the strength of the 26th Army, but have you ever thought about the current situation, which army would dare to accept the mess of Zhengzhou?"

It's not that Liang Xiao didn't think about this method, it's just that Zhengzhou has already become the main battlefield for both China and Japan in the Central Plains battlefield. Who would take over this hot potato? No one dares to take over Zhengzhou City Defense.”

Zhou Shiji couldn't help feeling sad.

"It doesn't have to be taken over by others, we can do it ourselves."

There was a strong gleam in Liang Xiao's eyes, as if he had made some kind of determination.

"Headquarters has countermeasures"

Zhou Shiji hurriedly asked.

“我们可以和第一集团军宋哲元商量,调59军张自忠部驻防开封,第一集团军下属77军和68军继续抵抗晋西北的日军,这样一来,我66军便可从开封撤出,秘密进入郑州,接替26军将士守城,中的26军将士轻装出城,城外26军的将士们全部撤出阵地,由66军派部队接替阵.”

"In this way, the Japanese army thought that our army had only one frontal army. When I secretly transferred the 66th Army back from Kaifeng, our army's strength would be equal to that of the Japanese army, and our army would occupy favorable terrain. Attacking from the flanks, the 66th Army faced the enemy head-on, one main and one auxiliary, and won.”

Liang Xiao's eyes surged with a strong fighting intent.

"The chief executive's method is very:.

Song Zheyuan, the first group army, was ordered to stop the devils in Northwest Shanxi. Would he dare to send the 59th Army to guard Kaifeng? Once the military and political council blames him, he will be charged with disobedience and disrespect, which is enough for him to drink a pot."

Zhou Shiji said.

to this.

Liang Xiao, on the other hand, had a different opinion, and said with a smile, "What is the first group army most lacking?"

"The First Group Army is the old foundation of the Northwest Army. It has never been valued by the military and political council. Its supplies are even poorer. Compared with ours, the guns and ammunition are not sporadic. I heard that there is a reorganization division of the Northwest Army. Artillery There are only thirty mortars, two infantry guns, and less than fifty shells."

Zhou Shiji said.

"You are right. The Northwest Army currently lacks bullets and shells. If I am willing to take 20 rounds of bullets, [-] mortar shells, and [-] [-] infantry guns, Zhang Zizhong will guard Kaifeng for a month. Do you think Song Zheyuan will agree?"

Liang Xiao said.

"If I were Song Zheyuan, I would have to think about it. Of course, if the chief executive can add some money, I probably don't have to think about it."

Zhou Shiji said with a hippie smile.

but.

What he said was true.

"In order to win this battle, I will give... him another 100 million French currency, which is enough for him to pay the army."

Liang Xiao smiled and said: "As long as we operate properly, the Japanese army would never think that I put the 66th Army in Zhengzhou City."

"Boss, in order to prevent the news from leaking out, we can make Zhang Zizhong of the 59th Army wear our camouflage uniforms to confuse the public."

Zhou Shiji said.

"We have to formulate a battle plan in detail, and we can't waste so much ammunition in vain."

Liang Xiao chuckled.

...... Three o'clock in the morning.

260260 kilometers outside Kaifeng City, along the Yellow River.

This is the headquarters of the First Group Army. Song Zheyuan, the commander-in-chief of the First Group Army, left for the First Group Army yesterday to personally command the battle against the Japanese army in Northwest Shanxi.

At the headquarters, Song Zheyuan was soundly asleep when suddenly there was a knock on the door.

Years of military service had trained him to be vigilant. After hearing the knock on the door, he opened his eyes and sat up.

"Who"

"Boss, it's me."

The adjutant's voice came from outside.

Song Zheyuan frowned slightly, it was so late, what was the adjutant anxious to see him "what's the matter"

"Boss, No. 60 Sixth Army Chief of Staff Feng came from Kaifeng overnight, and is anxious to see you."

Adjutant said.

Chief of Staff of the 66th Army Feng Shi'an The 66th Army belongs to the [-]th Army. Feng Shi'an went to the headquarters of the [-]st Army to meet him in the middle of the night. Why? Is it for war? Bright came to see him, why did he come to see him in the middle of the night

Chapter 467 Deal with the Northwest Army

Song Zheyuan put on his military uniform and buttoned it up. Although Feng Shian is only a major general and chief of staff, he is a general of the Central Army after all. The 66th Army is the representative army of Huangpu under Liang Xiao's command. He has to treat it with caution.

After tidying up.

Song Zheyuan opened the door himself and went to the lobby to meet Feng Shian.

hall.

Feng Shi'an was wearing the woolen coat of a general of the Central Army, and the regular military uniform of the Central Army instead of the self-made camouflage military uniform of the Second and Sixth Army. In the entire Second and Sixth Army, only Liang Xiao, the commander-in-chief of the Central Army, had been wearing the military uniform of a general of the Central Army for a long time. , the other generals are in camouflage uniforms.

This time he came to see Song Zheyuan in secret, and in order not to draw attention, he changed into the general uniform of the Central Army.

"Hello, Commander Song."

Feng Shi'an saluted Song Zheyuan.

"Chief of Staff Feng."

Song Zheyuan returned a military salute with a smile, and said with a smile: "Please sit down."

Feng Shi'an sat down as he said:.

Song Zheyuan sat down with a smile and said, "Chief of Staff Feng came to our First Army late at night, but what's the matter?"

"Commander Song, I am here to discuss important matters with Commander Song under the order of Commander Liang of the [-]th Army Group."

Feng Shi'an said.

Song Zheyuan frowned. As the commander-in-chief of the group army, Liang Xiao could send him a telegram if he really needed something. Why did he send Feng Shi'an to see him late at night? "Commander Liang sent Chief of Staff Feng here to meet Song what to discuss"

Song Zheyuan had some doubts in his heart.

"Beizhi knows that Commander-in-Chief Song has doubts in his heart. My family's chief repeatedly told me on the phone that after I meet with Commander-in-Chief Song, I will tell you the truth. I hope to cooperate sincerely with Commander-in-Chief Song."

After Feng Shi'an finished speaking, he looked at the guards and adjutants in the hall.

Song Zheyuan frowned slightly, and immediately waved his hand, signaling his adjutants and guards to go out first.

After the adjutants and guards go out.

Feng Shi'an began to talk about the business this time: "Commander Song, currently on the front line in Zhengzhou, has already assembled a half-division of devils, and the 26th Army of our 26th Group Army is stationed in Zhengzhou. In terms of strength, the 26th Army is at a disadvantage. In addition, this time when our 26th Army went north to fight, all the heavy artillery was deployed in the coastal area to prevent the Japanese army from landing again from the sea while the main force of our army was away. There is a disparity in military strength, and Zhengzhou is already in jeopardy."

"Chief of Staff Feng is joking. The reputation of being good at fighting in the 26s is well known throughout the world. It is known as the number one ace army of the National Army. Its commander Zhou Shiji is also the confidant of Commander-in-Chief Liang. Moreover, Commander-in-Chief Liang has already gone to the front line in Zhengzhou. With the talent of a famous general like Commander-in-Chief Liang, and an ace army like the [-]th Army under his command, the defense of Zhengzhou city is as solid as gold."

Song Zheyuan slapped a haha, looking at him from left to right, but he was guessing in his heart, could he not be able to hold on in Zhengzhou? , coupled with the 26th's sturdy combat effectiveness, defeating the Japanese army is just around the corner, but we have received accurate information that the 26th Division in the Pingjin area has already gone south to fight, and the battle location is Zhengzhou. Divisions, increased to two and a half divisions, seven or eight, ten thousand devils, with heavy weapons such as planes, cannons, tanks, armor, etc. Even if the 26th Army is brave and good at fighting, it is hard to beat with two fists and four hands. The situation in Zhengzhou is precarious. "

Chief of Staff Feng said.

"The No.17 division in the Pingjin area went south to fight in Zhengzhou. Is the information reliable?"

Song Zheyuan was quite surprised. He was defending against the devils in Northwest Shanxi by the Yellow River. If Zhengzhou fell, Kaifeng would be in danger, and his first army would be attacked by the enemy.

"The information comes from the Northern Bureau of the Military Command. As you know, our chief is the director of the Southern Bureau of the Military Command. He is in charge of half of the intelligence network of the Military Command. If the news from the Northern Bureau is wrong, our Southern Bureau has already found out."

Feng Shi'an said.

"The 26th Division is going south to fight. I believe that the military and government will adjust the strategic deployment as soon as possible. Otherwise, it would be too risky to defend Zhengzhou with the [-]th Army alone."

Song Zheyuan said.

"The commander-in-chief said that Commander Song was the first to know about the news that the 26th Division was going south to fight. Moreover, our [-]th Group Army does not plan to announce this news."

Feng Shi'an said.

"Oh, what does Commander-in-Chief Liang mean by doing this?"

Song Zheyuan asked.

“我们总座认为这是集中兵力和鬼子在中原决战的好机会,只是我26军寡不敌众,没有友邻部队帮衬,而我们66军镇守开封,是总座唯一可以调动的部队,总座说了,他希望您能派59军张自忠将军所部,换上我们66军的军服,进驻开封,66军则悄悄开出城,向郑州靠拢,如此一来,郑州前线将有26军和66军两部,兵力和鬼子相比,悬殊不大,有能力和鬼子以郑州为忠心,进行一场中原大决战.”

Feng Shi'an said.

Song Zheyuan frowned: "The dispatch of our First Army must be reported to the Theater Command for approval. Without an order from the Theater Command, no unit of our First Army can be transferred without authorization."

"Commander-in-chief Song, this is a gift from the chief. He said that the Northwest Army's war of resistance is not easy. This is his little thought. I hope you can accept it and help our 26th Army complete the deployment against the Japanese invaders. .”

Feng Shi'an took out a list from his pocket and handed it to Song Zheyuan.

Song Zheyuan took a look at the list, and was immediately moved. The ammunition and equipment on the list are exactly what their First Army currently lacks most.

When the world mentions the Northwest Army, it will always think of the 29th Army with a big knife.

If the ammunition is sufficient, their Northwest Army will not let the soldiers fight hand-to-hand with the Japanese invaders with big knives.

,.

With this batch of ammunition, the First Army will be in a lot of situations. At least in the short term, it will not fight the Japanese invaders with a big knife.

It's just that Liang Xiao asked him to transfer Zhang Zizhong's 59th Army to guard Kaifeng.

Feng Shi'an looked at Song Zheyuan's thoughtful expression, and said with a smile: "The boss said that in two days, he sent someone to send 100 million French coins to the First Army, hoping to help the soldiers of the First Army improve their lives. After all, it is the war of resistance. The troops should go hand in hand.”

Hear this.

Song Zheyuan's brows gradually relaxed, and he said with a smile: "Commander Liang is thoughtful, I, someone from Song, promised him this matter, please rest assured."

Chapter 468 The Power of the Anti-Tank Rifle

the next day.

The Japanese army attacked the 26th Army again, still using armored vehicles and tanks as the main offensive weapons. The 26th Army relied on the mountain artillery and the [-]nd infantry artillery group to repel the armored tank attacking troops several times.

The battle on land was not so intense.

The battle in the sky begins.

Early in the morning, the [-]th Army had an aviation-bomber formation and a fighter formation under its jurisdiction, and they launched into the air in a ladder formation. The Japanese army also sent a combat force formation and a bomber formation. The air forces of the two sides fought fiercely in the blue sky.

The aviation bombers of the [-]th Army are medium-sized bombers purchased from Germany, and the fighter jets are the most advanced German fighter planes, both in terms of speed and firepower, they are superior to the little devil's planes.

Relying on advanced bombers and fighter jets, the national army's air force fought against the Japanese aviation bomber and fighter jets in the blue sky for several hours.

I saw shadows of fighter planes clashing everywhere in the blue sky.

several hours later.

The fighter planes of both China and Japan returned to the voyage to refuel.

In this air battle, it can be said that since the end of the Songhu War, the national army fought against the Japanese army in the high-altitude field again, and all domestic combat units paid close attention to the results of this air battle.

The commissioner even sent several telegrams in a row in the morning, asking about the results of the air battle.

It's noon.

Liang Xiao got the information immediately. In this air battle, our army was shot down three bombers and two fighters, and the Japanese army was shot down five fighters and three bombers.

After he got the news, he immediately reported the news to the Military and Political Council, and sent congratulatory and commendation messages to the aviation troops stationed at Los Angeles Airport, and also called the General Command of the Second and Sixth Army in Los Angeles, and sent several staff officers to replace him. Condolences from the Los Angeles Air Force.

The news of the victory in the air battle spread, and the whole city was in a state of excitement. In the past, little devils had bombed Zhengzhou frequently. In this air battle, the [-]th Army Group announced to the whole country that the fighter planes of the national army can also defeat the fighter planes of the Japanese army.

This is exciting news.

It is also a signal that the national army has regained air supremacy since the Battle of Songhu.

The battle above the blue sky is over, but the battle on the ground is still going on: the fighting is going on heartily, the devils are always attacking, and the 26th Army keeps repelling the attacks of the devils with artillery fire.

The fighting continued until dark, and both sides stopped fighting.

In the evening, Kaifeng.
