"I don't know what these people from the 6th Division and the 16th Division are doing, but they actually let so many of the troops escape, and let our Kunizaki detachment help them sweep the tail."

Outside Zhangjia Village, a Japanese soldier Shaozuo looked at the village shrouded in war in front of him, and did not take it to heart, but laughed at the 6th Division and other troops.

"Isn't this just a good credit for Your Excellency, Captain? There are thousands of troops in front of him, and if they can be wiped out in one fell swoop, it will be a great achievement. A Japanese captain next to him said with a smile.

"This is thanks to Zhang Sang's intelligence, otherwise the imperial army would not know that there is such an army hidden under the nose of the imperial army." Shao Zuo said to a man in a small suit next to him.

This man is either a bystander, or a traitor who betrayed nearly a thousand soldiers of the National Army such as Commander Wan.

Because the other party was from this village, he happened to come across this rout when he returned to his hometown to visit his parents, and realized that this was a good opportunity to make meritorious contributions, so he ran back to Wanlan Town and told the gang of devils in front of him.

This group of devils was originally stationed in Wuhu County (now Wuhu City), because they learned that Chinese troops had broken through from Nanjing, so they were ordered to set up a blockade near Wanlan Town to intercept the Chinese troops who broke through from Nanjing.

Xuancheng, Guangde, Langxi and other places are in charge of the 18th Division, about four brigades.

Based on their previous experience with the Chinese army, they believe that such a force is sufficient.

With such a big incident in Nanjing, the Japanese army did not take the Chinese army that broke through to the encirclement very seriously, but was ready to send aviation units to attack Nanchang and other places to retaliate.

"It is an honor for Zhang to serve the imperial army." The traitor hurriedly nodded and said.

"Yo Xi, don't worry about Zhang Sang, the imperial army will not treat Zhang Sang badly." The Japanese knew that if they wanted to occupy China, they needed such traitors to assist them.

So for such traitors, the Japanese army wished that the more the better.

Hearing the assurances of the devil Shaozuo, this traitor was excited, and it seemed that he had not made a wrong decision.

At this time, a second lieutenant ran in front of Shao Zuo and paused, "Your Excellency, the Chinese army in the village has run out of ammunition, and intends to fight a decisive battle with the bayonets of the imperial army. ”

"It's night, don't fight with these people with bayonets, give orders to go down, rush into the village, and kill all these people." Shao Zuo commanded.

"Hey!"

The second lieutenant hurriedly took the order, and it was not long before there was a sudden burst of gunfire from the north. Moreover, the Chinese army that suddenly appeared had strong firepower and rich combat experience, and the Japanese army immediately realized the problem.

。。。。。。

"What's going on?"

Hearing the sound of gunfire from the north, the five or six hundred soldiers left in the village were a little puzzled.

"Our reinforcements are coming!"

"Reinforcements, where do we have reinforcements? There is simply no big force of ours in this vicinity. ”

"And how do you explain the gunshot?"

"What are you doing? Hit me and destroy these little devils. ”

After discovering that the Japanese army was a disgruntled brigade, Leng Jie gave Xu Dong's first battalion an order to attack from behind the Japanese army.

The sudden appearance of two Chinese armies made this Japanese brigade a little confused, and the combat strength of these two Chinese armies was not bad.

It was a little unbearable to fight the Japanese army, and the taste of being attacked by the enemy on the back was really uncomfortable.

It was originally a simple war of annihilation for the Japanese army, but now it is counter-surrounded by the Chinese army, which makes the Japanese army realize that this is a trap.

That traitor was miserable, and the Japanese army thought that he had deliberately passed on false information to put the imperial army in such a predicament.

。。。。。。

In the early morning of the next day, after a hurry, Ushijima finally arrived at Xuancheng with the main force of three brigades.

As for Liao Yaoxiang's department, it was lost.

Liao Yaoxiang was not a fool, and after seeing the Japanese army's intentions, he took advantage of the night to get rid of the pursuit of the Japanese army. At night, the Japanese army's vision was limited, and they could not track the traces of Liao Yaoxiang's department, so they had to give up, thinking of the purpose of this trip, Ushijima Man hastened to Xuancheng, hoping to find Leng Jie's department.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived in Xuancheng, he would have a harvest.

"Your Excellency Brigade Commander, Yamamoto Shaozo, who is stationed in Xuancheng, has already gone to Wanlan Town, twenty kilometers away, with three squadrons of troops to reinforce it, and there is only one squadron in the city to defend." A young man came to Ushijima and reported.

"Reinforcements to Wanlan Town?" Ushijima was a little puzzled.

Soon, a staff officer opened the map and marked the location of Wanlan Town.

"Why did Yamamoto Shaosa go here for reinforcements?"

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, it is said that the Okamura Brigade of the Kunisaki Detachment stationed in Wanlan Town last night found a force of more than 1,000 Shina troops near Huaqiao Town, and went to encircle and suppress them.

However, Okamura's brigade was ambushed by the Shina army and suffered heavy losses, and the remaining 200 men retreated to Wanlan Town.

According to the report of the Okamura brigade, the Chinese army that attacked his unit was about the size of a brigade (3,000 men), so the Kunisaki detachment in Wuhu and the small boundary wing stationed in Xuancheng both sent reinforcements. ”

"Can inflict heavy damage on a large army of the Empire?" Ushijima raised his eyebrows and smiled at the corners of his mouth.

"Your Excellency Brigade Commander, it seems that this army should be the one we are looking for." Okamoto said with a smile.

"Yo Xi, it's good that we are fast enough, otherwise we would have been run away by this army. Wanlan Town? Further west, it leaves the area controlled by the Imperial army. Ushijima was also a little lucky.

Fortunately, he didn't continue to entangle with Liao Yaoxiang, if he let go of Leng Jiebu because of fishing, he would have to cry.

He didn't expect Leng Jie's troops to run so fast and almost leave the area controlled by the imperial army. If his speed is slower, he may really be run away by the other party.

If you can't get anything from chasing here from Nanjing, then the 6th Division will really be a shame.

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, this place is very close to the Third War Zone of China, will it attract the attention of the China army?" Okamoto said worriedly.

"It doesn't matter, as long as this force can be quickly annihilated, the army of the third war zone in China will not be dispatched." Ushijima did not think that the Chinese army would take the initiative to attack the imperial army at this time, "Pass the order, the whole army will march to Wanlan Town, and be sure to annihilate that branch army in Wanlan Town, and be ashamed of the blood division." ”

"Hey!"

Okamoto's leather boot kicked hard against the ground with a "bang" sound, and then he prepared to leave to deliver the order.

Leng Jie didn't know that Ushijima Man was coming for him, after all, after he broke through, he hadn't met Ushijimaman's troops yet, but at this time, he also found out that something was wrong.

As soon as he eliminated a brigade of devils on his side, two more brigades came to kill, which is not a good sign.
