Are you a spy? Killing the enemy is too cruel.

In the command center, Commander Su fell silent, thinking, Comrade Ye Feng, you are so ambitious!

Not only did they want to conquer the Central Plains, they also wanted to launch two simultaneous attacks on the Japanese troops in Shandong.

If the battle is successful, the five regions of Shanghai, Anhui, Jiangsu, Central Plains and Shandong will be recovered and firmly controlled by their underground party armed forces.

The Japanese will also be compressed in the Hebei area.

Don't forget that the underground party also has troops from the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei base area. If the battle goes well, it will sweep across Hebei and other areas, and then complete the final offensive on the three northeastern provinces, completely completing the task of regaining the entire north.

Therefore, the battle in Central Plains and Shandong is crucial.

Lost the fight.

They could only retreat to the Shanghai, Jiangsu and Anhui areas to lick their wounds, while at the same time facing the pressure of millions of Japanese troops.

The fight was won.

We will be able to continue to advance triumphantly, sweeping across Hebei from the Central Plains and threatening the three northeastern provinces.

"Comrade Ye Feng, is your plan too risky?" Commander Su said worriedly.

Currently, there are only the 13th Army and the 12th Army in Jiangsu, with a total strength of only six divisions.

That's all the people we have.

Do you dare to launch a war against the Central Plains and Shandong regions at the same time?

Ye Feng said, "General Su, the enemy's defense focus must be in the Central Plains. I will take on this tough task."

"The Thirteenth Army you lead is at most a group of new recruits when facing the Japanese troops in Shandong."

"As long as you act fast enough and fight a blitzkrieg, and take over half of Shandong in a short period of time, I will support you from the Central Plains and share the pressure you face."

Commander Su asked, "Does Yan'an know about this strategic action?"

Ye Feng shook his head and explained, "We are too far away from Yan'an. The telegram could easily be intercepted by the Japanese spies. However, I have already sent someone to go to Yan'an in person to inform you of the situation."

Send someone to Yan'an?

Commander Su smiled helplessly, "Comrade Ye Feng, your little thoughts cannot be hidden from the teacher, you must be prepared to be scolded." The roads in those days were muddy and rugged, and the Japanese set up strongholds and blockades everywhere on the road. There were devil spies searching everywhere, and there were all kinds of bandits along the way. It would take at least more than a month to bring the news to Yan'an.

By then, the war had already begun.

Ye Fengming made a detailed statement that he acted first and reported to the army later, and then Commander Su reminded him that he must not violate the army regulations.

Ye Feng said, "I am from Fujian, our underground party's armed forces. Sir, you won't blame me."

General Su said, "That also has a prerequisite, that is, our battles in the Central Plains and Shandong go smoothly."

Ye Feng said, "Political Commissar Chen is in charge of Shanghai, and Commander Ye is in charge of Anhui. As for Jiangsu, as long as Jinling City is still in our hands, Jiangsu will not be lost. So I plan to take a division, that is, eight regiments, to attack the Central Plains."

Commander Su's eyes widened in shock, "Commander Ye, are you kidding me?"

Eight regiments.

Go and fight against Japan’s eight divisions?

This doesn't feel like going to fight, but more like giving up one's life and heads to the Japanese.

Ye Feng said confidently, "My combat power alone is equivalent to that of a Japanese division, and it is only higher, not lower."

The Japanese will indeed deploy hundreds of thousands of troops in the Central Plains, but there is more than one city in the Central Plains. There are dozens of cities, hundreds of counties, and countless towns. The Japanese will have to send troops to guard these places, right?

The Japanese forces were dispersed, so there would not be more than tens of thousands of troops in each city, county, and town.

Ye Feng’s plan is to defeat the enemy one by one and continuously eliminate the enemy’s manpower.

Commander Su reminded, "Once the battle begins, the enemy will surely react quickly and gather a large army to surround and outflank us. What will you do then?"

Ye Feng said, "Then we should use mobile warfare. We don't occupy a city or a place, but annihilate the enemy in the movement. As long as we eliminate a certain number of enemies, we can carry out the final decisive battle and determine the victory or defeat in the Central Plains in one fell swoop."

Commander Su said, "A division has only eight regiments, which is still too few."

Ye Feng said, "Compared to victory, the safety of the Shanghai-Jiangsu-Anhui region is more important. Commander Su, your Thirteenth Army will also have to dispatch a division to resist the threat from the west."

The 13th Army also has more troops than two divisions, so transferring one division out won't be a big problem.

The only thing left to test now is whether Anhui's Fourth Front Army can withstand the pressure and complete the defensive mission.

Ye Feng thought about it.

The Fourth Front Army originally had two divisions, and five more divisions were transferred there, making a total of seven divisions, which were deployed in southern Anhui, western Anhui and other places. As long as they were commanded properly, they could definitely block the enemy successfully.

General Su suddenly said, "How about this? I will lead seven divisions to defend, and you two generals named Ye will lead your troops to attack the Central Plains and Shandong respectively?"

Ye Feng shook his head and said:

"Over the years, the Fourth Front Army has been fighting in southern Anhui and other places, and is more familiar with the terrain."

Next, they, the commanders and the army chiefs, began to have a comprehensive discussion on the war.

As time went on, the smell of war became stronger and stronger north of the Yangtze River, and the tense situation made everyone uneasy.

It's time to go to war.

A division of the 12th Army of Shanghai, with a full complement of troops and carrying various heavy weapons for siege, started to march towards the Central Plains from the border between Jiangsu and northwest Anhui, hiding during the day and moving out at night.

This time, Ye Feng decided to copy the tactics of the German nation in his previous life.

Blitzkrieg attack on Central Plains.

He personally led two regiments, a total of 6000 soldiers, as the vanguard and launched a fierce attack.

They successively conquered eight cities, including Shangcheng, Xinxian, Luoshan, Zhengyang, Xincai, Pingyu, Runan, and Zhumadian, and recovered dozens of towns and villages, with great results.

Then the large army set out in a mighty force to attack Xinyang, the largest city in the southeast.

In just one day, under the leadership of super agent Ye Feng, he sneaked into the city alone and started a killing spree. He rushed around and killed more than 2,000 enemy soldiers. Then, with the help of internal and external forces, he captured this city in the southeastern Central Plains.

More than 10,000 Japanese main forces were defeated and were chased down by Ye Feng's team.

Later, they successively captured Queshan, Tongbai, Biyang, Sheqi, Tanghe and other places.

The morale of the 12th Army was high, and in the process, it used the various supplies and food seized from the battlefield to quickly recruit soldiers and expand by four more regiments.

In this way, a division of 10 regiments headed straight for Nanyang, the largest city in the south.

As long as Nanyang City is captured, it can be said that the entire southern region of Central Plains is under the control of the underground party.

"Report."

Luo Daqian, who was in charge of the reconnaissance mission, entered the makeshift command center and said, "Commander, intelligence about Nanyang has been leaked."

"There are currently two Japanese divisions in Nanyang City, with a total of 5 troops defending the city."

"There are Japanese support troops in the north and south of Nanyang."

"There are three elite Japanese regiments in Xinye in the south, with a total estimated number of about 2 people. In Nanzhao City in the north, there is a Japanese division and a regiment, and they are all carrying a large number of heavy weapons."

"In addition, the Japanese seem to be turning defense into offense. They are constantly gathering troops from Xuchang in the central part of the country and may move south at any time."

"According to estimates, Xuchang's reinforcements will arrive in the vicinity of Nanyang within three days."

……

Ye Feng frowned. If the intelligence was accurate, they would only have more than two days to capture Nanyang City.

If the attack fails and the enemy's army surrounds them, they will definitely pay a heavy price to break out.

Division Commander Song Yu said with a complicated expression, "Commander, I think the Japanese reacted too slowly this time?"

The regiment commander Niu Chujun said, "We launched a sudden blitzkrieg. It's normal for the enemy to react slowly, right?"

Song Yu said, "Before the battle started, everyone knew that our underground party armed forces would definitely lead the army to attack the Central Plains. The Japanese also prepared for two or three months. How could they be slow to react?"

The implication.

The Japanese gave up the southern part of the Central Plains and are planning a big game?

Nanyang City.

I'm afraid this is the place where the Japanese want to counterattack and encircle their underground party.
