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

Chapter 617 One person?

After the grain in Hebei, Beijing, Tianjin, and other cities in major provinces in the Northeast was swept away by the "grain thief" Ye Feng, even though the Japanese responded in a timely manner by dispersing the grain in the warehouses and strengthening guards.

However, Japan still fell into a food shortage crisis, which was almost the first time this happened since the outbreak of full-scale war.

The reason is very simple. Before last year, the Japanese did not deploy many troops on the battlefield in China. They rushed all the way, captured countless cities, counties, and towns, plundered resources, burned, killed, and looted, filling their arsenals to the brim, allowing the Japanese soldiers to eat meat and fish every meal.

It is different now. As the war continues to expand, all regions have suffered from the ravages of war.

In times of war and chaos, how many people are still able to grow crops?

The decrease in food production, coupled with the fact that the Japanese were having trouble in the war, led them to frantically expand their military forces and continuously recruit new soldiers in their own country.

Especially recently, more than 70 new soldiers have been transported to the battlefield from mainland Japan.

So this time Ye Feng turned into a "food thief" and snatched more than three million tons of food from the Japanese. This also resulted in the Japanese being unable to continue to enjoy "eating and drinking as much as they can" and had to tighten their belts to survive.

At the same time, perhaps in order to divert the soldiers' attention, the Japanese Supreme Command issued a series of war orders.

First, on the Shandong battlefield, they assembled nearly 20 troops, including 5 veterans of the Kwantung Army and 15 new recruits, and marched south in a mighty force, intending to defeat the th Army led by General Su on the Shandong battlefield.

At the same time, 10 new soldiers who landed at the ports of Guangdong and Guangxi followed veterans and attacked southern Anhui from south to north.

Then came the Central Plains battlefield.

The Japanese gave up their defensive strategy and continued to send more troops to the three battlefields in the east, middle and west of the Central Plains, especially to the eastern city of Kaifeng. There was no super agent Ye Feng in charge there, so they felt that the unknown commander Zheng Hua was a good opportunity to make a breakthrough.

Moreover, as long as Zheng Hua's three regiments were defeated and these 15,000 people were killed, the Japanese could then march into Shandong from the eastern part of the Central Plains and join forces to encircle the underground party's 13th Army.

Ye Feng naturally knew the Japanese's combat intentions, but he had already made arrangements.

a month ago.

However, when Zheng Hua led three regiments to the outskirts of Kaifeng City and organized the troops to dig trenches and set up defensive positions, Ye Feng anticipated that Zheng Hua's troops would be the main target of attack by the Japanese to open a gap.

In order to allow Zheng Hua and other troops to block the Japanese troops in Kaifeng City.

Ye Feng allocated one third of the explosives, grenades, etc. that were continuously transported from Shanghai.

It can be said.

At this time outside the city of Kaifeng, the underground party's defensive position was like an indestructible iron turtle.

In that area, there are countless mines and explosives buried under the soil.

If the Japanese want to attack Kaifeng City, how long will it take just to deal with those landmines?

Relatively speaking.

Niu Chu's army in the western part of the Central Plains did not pose much of a threat outside the city of Luoyang. After all, the flanks of Luoyang City were supported by troops from Yan'an and had sufficient defense. It would be somewhat difficult to attack and retake Luoyang.

Xuchang, Commander’s Headquarters.

"What? You want me to capture Luoyang within seven days, otherwise I will be punished by military law?" Niu Chujun looked bitter.

"Commander, you are not there, so you don't understand the enemy's situation. The devils in Luoyang City have few new recruits. Most of them are the main force of the Kwantung Army. They are all elite Japanese devils who have experienced the battlefield for a long time. They are not easy to fight!"

"Stop talking nonsense. If you can't take Luoyang within seven days, you can stop being the leader."

Ye Feng said in an unquestionable tone:

"You must also remember that Luoyang City is an ancient city with a long history in China. Don't destroy this ancient city."

Niu Chujun said aggrievedly, "Commander, the number of enemies in the city is greater than our main attackers, so can we slow down the time to recapture Luoyang City?"

piss off.

Ye Feng said, "You are near Luoyang City, don't you often meet with comrades in Yan'an? If you can't get in, ask Yan'an for help."

Upon hearing this, Niu Chujun's eyes lit up, but his face quickly fell again, "I'm just a small regiment commander. Who would care about me if I asked Yan'an for help? Commander, why don't you contact them yourself?"

"You have 2 soldiers and advanced weapons provided by the Ugly Country, but you still can't capture Luoyang City. I'm going to doubt your command ability."

Ye Feng continued:

"Next, wars will break out in Luoyang, Zhengzhou, and Kaifeng in the Central Plains."

"Whether we can recover the entire Central Plains depends on this battle."

Niu Chujun asked doubtfully, "Do we have other main forces here in Xuchang in the central part? How are we going to attack Zhengzhou then?" He remembered clearly that all the troops in Xuchang had been divided into two and taken away by him and Zheng Hua respectively.

Ye Feng said, "A new independent regiment has been established here, and the number of people has increased to 5,000."

Five thousand people.

Do you dare to attack Zhengzhou?

Niu Chujun's eyes widened in disbelief, "Commander, are you crazy? If I remember correctly, the Japanese troops deployed in Zhengzhou are definitely no less than 7."

Ye Feng said, "The Japanese have been frightened and their morale is unstable. As long as we can charge them in one wave, they will surely be defeated. And I will lead the charge. Who wouldn't be scared when the Japanese see this?"

Niu Chujun shook his head and said, "But this is too risky. The soldiers of the independent regiment were civilians holding hoes a month ago. They have only been trained for less than a month. How much combat effectiveness can they have if they are sent to the battlefield?"

Ye Feng said, "If you fail to capture Zhengzhou, it is my responsibility. If you fail to capture Luoyang, I will bring you to justice."

Niu Chujun scratched his head and said, "Okay, in order to speed up the recovery of the Central Plains, I will lead the troops and take down Luoyang."

Before leaving, Niu Chujun tried to test the waters, "Commander, I think it's still unrealistic to attack Zhengzhou. After all, the soldiers of the independent regiment have never fought in a war or seen blood, so their combat effectiveness is too poor. How about this, wait until I take Luoyang, then lead the troops eastward, cooperate with Xuchang, and attack Zhengzhou with all our strength."

The implication.

I, Lao Niu, don't want you, the commander, to fall into a ditch.

Since Ye Feng formed an anti-Japanese armed force in Shanghai, he has never been defeated in bloody battles with the enemy.

Among the people of Shenzhou, Ye Feng also has a nickname of "the ever-victorious general".

Niu Chujun didn't want their commander, who had been so wise for so long, to have his golden body broken in the Central Plains.

Ye Feng is bound to lose every battle, and he will win every battle. He represents the face of the underground party's anti-Japanese armed forces.

There is this facade.

The four hundred million compatriots across the country will feel that as long as Ye Feng is there, the Japanese are not invincible, and the dawn of national victory will soon come.

Therefore, Ye Feng's victory in every battle is very important to the determination of the whole country to fight against the invaders.

Ye Feng is not a fool either.

How is it possible to use 5,000 new soldiers with almost zero combat effectiveness to attack a solid city like Zhengzhou?

The news that there were only 5,000 new recruits in Xuchang City was actually a smokescreen deliberately sent to the Japanese.
