    On the morning of May 19, the main force of the Japanese army arrived in Mengcheng one after another!

    However, given that the troops on the opposite side were from the famous Li Guoyao, the Japanese troops who arrived first did not launch an attack immediately. Instead, they set up camp outside the city, set up their positions, and made preparations for the war.

    Of course, neither Fujita Susumu nor Higuchi Kiichiro and others are in a hurry now, because according to the news from Tekko, all the Chinese troops in the Xuzhou direction have basically jumped out of the encirclement of the Imperial Japanese Army, so it is considered a breakthrough.  The garrison position in front of them doesn't make much sense either.

    Because of this, Susumu Fujita and others simply set their targets on Li Guoyao and the 61st Army.

    Although according to the news coming back from Ttech, although Li Guoyao's headquarters is nominally a legion, it actually only has one division and one brigade. It seems that it is not worth the effort of several of their divisions.

    However, the Chinese general Li Guoyao is so famous that he has even come into the sight of His Majesty the Emperor and the big guys in the base camp. Considering the insult caused by this guy and his army to the Imperial Japanese Army, if it can really be done  Eliminating this army from the Chinese army's combat order would be a great achievement, and it would definitely be no less meritorious than wiping out one hundred thousand Chinese troops.

    On the evening of the 19th, Susumu Fujita personally held a regiment-level combat meeting at the temporary headquarters in Xiaoshui Village, south of Mengcheng, to discuss the siege plan.

    After more than an hour of discussion, it was finally decided to attack the city from tomorrow morning. In order to prevent the defenders in the city from escaping, the Japanese army decided to send part of the main force to the two wings to outflank Li Guoyao's troops while attacking frontally. They must eliminate Li Guoyao's troops here.  Little Montreal.

    By the way, while the Japanese troops on the Mengcheng front line were planning how to eat up Li Guoyao's troops, the Chinese troops on the eastern Henan front line were also rapidly mobilizing, preparing to eat up the Dofeiyuan Division, which was alone and deeply entrenched.

    Zhengzhou in May is the time of spring, and the fragrance of flowers all over the city makes the place quite poetic.

    But our Chairman Chiang had no time to appreciate these. The news from the battlefield in the past two days made him a little nervous and excited. Although the Dofeiyuan Division noticed something abnormal, it never retreated, which happened to give Yudong  The opportunity to mobilize the national army increased the chance of winning this annihilation battle by 30%.

    Because of this, Chairman Chiang is in a particularly good mood. He firmly believes that this time he will be able to eat the Doihara division in one bite and avenge his previous shame.

    On the night of the 19th, Xue Yue gradually calmed down in the former enemy headquarters of the 1st War Zone in Kaifeng City.

    After several days of intense deployment and preparation, he did not dare to close his eyes. He kept spinning for several days, which made the Guangdong general known as the tiger cub feel a little tired.

    But even so, Xue Yue still did not dare to neglect. This battle he served as the commander-in-chief of the former enemy, and this battle was a large-scale annihilation battle commanding six armies at once. The opponent was Doihara Kenji, who was famous for his fierceness and cunning. Any one  Small mistakes can lead to serious consequences.

    That¡¯s all, but the Chairman of the Generalissimo was personally taking command. Thinking of someone who has always had the habit of commanding troops at a higher level, even Xue Yue could not help but feel a little nervous at this time.

    But as various preparations were implemented one after another, Xue Yue gradually calmed down.  After carefully reviewing the entire combat plan, Xue Yue couldn't help but nodded. He was still satisfied with his deployment of this encirclement and annihilation battle.

    In order to annihilate the Dofeihara Division in one fell swoop, Xue Yue deployed three divisions on the east road, and also sent the powerful general Li Hanhun to the east front to command these three reinforced divisions.

    And their mission was only to capture a few small strongholds in Pheasant Hill and Hecun. It was a killing of chickens with a sledgehammer. In Xue Yue's opinion, they were absolutely sure.  But the difficulty is whether they can hold on to these strongholds after taking them. You must know that the little Japanese will inevitably break out once they sense something is wrong, and Li Hanhun's troops will bear the brunt.

    The West Route consists of more than 4 divisions commanded by Gui Yongqing. Xue Yue is most at ease here because the West Route Army is the direct line of the Central Army of the Chairman of the Standing Committee. It is also equipped with two chariot battalions of Qiu Qingquan, nearly 50,000 troops.  , the strength is quite tyrannical.

    Although the West Route Army is attacking the main Japanese positions, including Yifeng, Neihuang, Mawangzhai and other strongholds, the strength is there and the chance of victory is very high.

    Let¡¯s talk about the Northern Route Army. There are nine divisions of Sun Tongxuan and Sun Zhen there. Their main task is to cut off the enemy¡¯s retreat and attack south. It should be said that there is no burden.

    Since then, wouldn¡¯t the Dofeiyuan division, which was compressed into only a few hundred square kilometers between Lanfeng, Neihuang, ** and Kaocheng, become a turtle in a urn?

    Xue Yue went through the sieve in his mind over and over again. What he wanted was absolute certainty. He was going crazy waiting for this day.?.

    Suddenly Xue Yue thought of a place - Mengcheng, and then thought of the three Japanese field divisions on the southern front, and even thought of the 61st Army, the only defender there.

    If there is really a weakness in this battle, then the only weakness is probably this small city of Mengcheng.

    Once Mengcheng is lost, Japanese troops from three divisions will swarm in, and the consequences will be really unimaginable!

    Thinking of this, Xue Yue couldn't help but feel a little anxious. This battle was extremely important to him, Xue Boling, and Chairman Chiang, and there was no room for sloppiness.

    ¡°I also thought that the main force of the Japanese army had arrived outside Mengcheng. If any young man could not bear the huge pressure and retreated without authorization, the efforts of hundreds of thousands of people in eastern Henan would be completely in vain.

    In view of this, Xue Yue couldn't sleep at all. He immediately got dressed and went directly to the combat headquarters, and then asked the combat staff to send a stern order in his own name to the 61st Army Headquarters on the Mengcheng front line,  Li Guoyao's troops were required not to evacuate the position even if they fought to the last man. If anyone dared to escape from the battle, Xue Boling would definitely report it to the Military Commission to kill the thief.

    When he received the telegram from Xue Yue, Li Guoyao had already fallen asleep. Like Xue Yue, Li Guoyao had not had a good rest in the past few days and felt very tired.

    Thinking that the Japs were going to attack the city tomorrow, Li Guoyao forced himself to rest for a while. There was still a tough battle to be fought next.

    But when Ma Desheng sent the telegram to his room, Li Guoyao immediately became angry!

    Li Guoyao is relatively familiar with Xue Yue. He is from Guangdong and a former strong general of the Guangdong Army. He is a commander with quite a strategic command level. He was the commander-in-chief of the first corps of the first theater at that time and later became the commander-in-chief of the ninth theater.

    Xue Yue fought in consecutive years from the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War to the victory of the Anti-Japanese War and made numerous achievements. It is said that he was the general who annihilated the largest number of enemies during the entire Anti-Japanese War. In just four Changsha battles, he annihilated more than 100,000 Japanese troops.

    After the war, Xue Yue was named one of the top ten generals of the national army due to his outstanding military exploits. He was a respectable general.

    But what makes Li Guoyao angry is that no matter how famous Xue Boling is, it makes no sense for him to directly send such a telegram to Li Guoyao.

    First of all, Xue Boling is not Li Guoyao's immediate boss, and the 61st Army is not under the command of the First Corps, and does not even belong to the combat order of the First Theater. Even if he is really worried about the 61st Army escaping, he cannot directly give it to the First Army.  The 61st Army sent a report. To put it bluntly, it was not Xue Boling's turn to point fingers here.

    What's more, Xue Yue directly named Li Guoyao for leaving the position without permission, and clearly didn't believe him, Li Guoyao, let alone the heroic lion under his command.

    More importantly, Li Guoyao knew that the outcome of the Battle of Lanfeng was not good. Although the national army concentrated hundreds of thousands of troops, it still failed to annihilate the little devils. The reason was because the national army generals abandoned the city twice.  And escape.

    Once it was Gui Yongqing, Commander of the 27th Army, and another time it was Huang Jie, Commander of the New Eighth Army, both of whom were direct descendants of the Central Military Forces.

    To a certain extent, Xue Yue's premonition was quite accurate. He knew that someone was fleeing without a fight, but he should not have placed suspicion on Li Guoyao.

    In view of this, Li Guoyao immediately drafted an equally rude telegram in reply. He, Li Guoyao, was not a doormat, and he would not bear this cowardice.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
