    Chairman Chiang Kai-shek has been paying attention to the Mengcheng Defense War. After all, the 61st Army was the unit he was interested in, but he did not expect that this unit would be related to the success or failure of the Lanfeng Battle.

    After thinking about it again and again, Chairman Chiang asked in a deep voice: "Besides the 61st Army on the Mengcheng front line, are there any other troops nearby?"

    "Reporting to the committee, the 21st Group Army is not far away in Fuyang, and there are also several troops from the fifth theater that are about to pass by Guoyang, northwest of Mengcheng!" It was Deputy Chief Bai who spoke.

    Chairman Chiang nodded and said: "In that case, let the 61st Army be nailed to Mengcheng!"

    "Commissioner, if that's really the case, the 61st Army will probably be wiped out!" Cheng Qian said in a deep voice.

    "The entire army was wiped out?"

    "Well, now the Japanese army on the southern front obviously wants to rush to the Guoyang front line to cut off the retreat of the breakout troops in the fifth theater. The 61st Army has been fighting bloody battles with the main force of the Japanese army on the Mengcheng front line for more than three days.  If their divisions and brigades continue to fight against the Japanese army, they may not be able to wait for reinforcements to arrive!" Cheng Qian said.

    Chairman Jiang thought for a while and said: "The gains and losses in Mengcheng are of great importance. No matter how much we say here, it is useless. The specific situation depends on the 61st Army!"

    At this point, Chairman Chiang suddenly said: "Immediately send a report to the 61st Army Headquarters and ask Li Guoyao for me. If they ask their 61st Army to defend Mengcheng, whether it can hold it or not, and if it cannot hold it, how long can it hold at most?  sky?"

    "yes!"

    As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Wang Shihe, the director of the attendant's office, responded and went out!

    After Wang Shihe left, Lao Jiang felt that the atmosphere in the headquarters was a bit solemn, so he immediately changed the topic and asked: "Do you here know about this Dofeiyuan?"

    The generals were stunned for a moment. In fact, Doihara is notorious in China, and everyone here knows it to some extent.

    "It's just that Chairman Chiang suddenly asked a question at this time. Everyone was confused and no one wanted to speak rashly.

    Seeing that no one spoke, Chairman Chiang waved his hand and said viciously: "Doihara is the most evil Japanese soldier on the Chinese battlefield. He is even more hateful than Matsui Iwane. The reason why Northeast and North China are what they are today is because of him.  related."

    Then Chairman Chiang continued: "Dofeihara was the mastermind of the September 18th Incident, and it was he who kidnapped Puyi to the Northeast. It was also his idea to promote North China's autonomy in the 24th year of the Republic of China. To say that he is a soldier, it is better to say that he is  Conspirators, political clowns.¡±

    "If this guy is not eliminated today, he will still come up with some tricks in the future, and we will be even more passive by then. I heard that some Westerners call him the 'Lawrence of the East.' I don't care whether he is from the East or the West.  Yes, today I want you to eliminate this 'Lawrence' of his."

    Chairman Chiang gnashed his teeth and banged the table, determined to eliminate Dofeiyuan. His personal trip to Zhengzhou also had this meaning.

    Of course, Lao Jiang actually had the intention to compete with Chief Li in his heart. He Li Zongren can show off his power in Taierzhuang, why can't I, Jiang, show off his power in Lanfeng.

    To this end, he even brought his chariot troops equipped with precious dollars.  He wanted to personally command the troops and wipe out an entire Japanese division.

    But at this time, both Chairman Chiang and everyone else here understood that whether this battle can be fought, or to what extent it can be fought, depends on the answer of the 61st Army.

    If the 61st Army cannot defend Mengcheng, then everything will be in vain. When the four Japanese divisions break through the front line of Mengcheng and capture Bozhou, it is still uncertain who will fight whom!

    After all, there are only 14 divisions in eastern Henan with more than 100,000 people, and if these Japanese divisions are added to the arrogant 14th Division, the total strength may reach 70,000 or 80,000. Maybe these countries in eastern Henan  Jun Zhen may have been made a dumpling by the other party.

    For a moment, everyone in the conference room couldn't help but think of Mengcheng, the motley crew composed of the Northeastern Army, and even the youngest lieutenant general in the national army, Li Guoyao.

    It is said that while these big guys were thinking about him, Li Guoyao was fighting with the Japanese army on the front line of Shuangjian Town.

    Most of the main force of the Japanese army has arrived outside Shuangjian Town, but Shuangjian Town was run like a turtle shell by Li Guoyao's troops. Several attacks by the Japs failed to work.

    In addition, the cavalry regiment of the third division was completely wiped out last night, so everyone is waiting for the arrival of the commander of the third division, Susumu Fujita!

    Because of this, although the fighting continued that day, it was not very intense, and it gave the 61st Army a chance to breathe.

    Received a letter from Chairman Chiang Kai-shek from the Combat Command of the First Theater Command HeadquartersAfter sending the telegram, Li Guoyao was somewhat surprised. First of all, the signature of this telegram was a bit surprising. It was actually signed by Chiang Kai-shek himself. The words Zhongzheng were very valuable in this era.

    Secondly, the tone of the person in this telegram is not normal. There is not so much official wording, and the whole text is spoken in plain language. This is not like that person's style at all.

    Of course, what shocked Li Guoyao the most was the content of the telegram. The person actually wanted him to guard Mengcheng and asked him if he could guard it.

    The answer is of course that it cannot be defended. Mengcheng is not a major military town. There have not been many major battles fought here since ancient times, so the defenses here are simply negligible.

    Of course, this is not the crux of the problem. The key is that the strength of the Japanese army is too strong. The first Third Division alone is enough to cause a headache, and now a Sixth Division has been added.

    As for the Ninth Division and the 13th Division, Li Guoyao didn't take them seriously. They were just two lost dogs. Without the Third Division and the Sixth Division, Li Guoyao was confident that he could defeat these two divisions with his troops and horses.  There is absolutely nothing wrong with saying that all the regiments will be wiped out.

    But now their 61st Army alone is really no match for the Japanese army in person. It is for this reason that Li Guoyao wants to withdraw troops from Shuangjian Town.

    However, Li Guoyao had to think about why Chiang Kai-shek suddenly defended Mengcheng from him. You must know that Mengcheng's biggest role now is to provide cover for the troops on the Xuzhou front line to prevent the Japanese troops from central China from intercepting the retreat of the Fifth Theater.

    But after today, all armies in the fifth war zone safely evacuated Xuzhou according to the route designated by the Military Commission and arrived in the western Anhui and southern Henan areas.

    Even Liu Ruming¡¯s 68th Army, which served as the rearguard of the entire army and covered the transfer of the main force, abandoned Xuzhou City after completing its mission, cleverly jumped out of the siege of hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops, and reached a safe area.

    At this time, it stands to reason that Mengcheng has lost its role, so why bother to defend it with all the effort?

    Li Guoyao¡¯s first thought was whether Chiang Kai-shek was going to kill someone with a borrowed knife, or was he trying to kill the donkey?

    But when I think about it, I think it¡¯s unlikely. Although Chiang Kai-shek is a little more utilitarian now, he is really fighting against Japan. After all, the little devil is serious this time. If he loses, he will really become the king of subjugation.  .

    "For this reason, Chiang Kai-shek not only sent out his elite Central Army, but was even able to accept troops from Yan'an. Why can't he accommodate their 61st Army?"

    Since Chiang Kai-shek was not targeting them, nor was he trying to let the Japanese army consume them, then why did he want to defend Mengcheng himself?

    Suddenly Li Guoyao¡¯s sight was fixed on a point on the map - Kaifeng, and then he thought of the famous Battle of Lanfeng in history!

    "That's right, Chiang Kai-shek is going to fight the Battle of Lanfeng. He is eyeing Kenji Doihara's 14th Division.

    Looking at Mengcheng and Bozhou and Shangqiu in the north, Li Guoyao suddenly knew the position of the 61st Army in this battle!

    For a moment, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. He really didn't know whether he was lucky or unlucky to be in such a key position at this time. Even if he called back to Chiang Kai-shek and couldn't hold Mengcheng, the result would still be that they would be nailed here.  of.

    But when he thought about the outcome of the historical Battle of Lanfeng, Li Guoyao's heart sank to the bottom!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
