The infantry brigades that came from afar may not have dreamed that they would see a scene that made them sad and indignant when they arrived in Shucheng. Pushing open the closed city gates, the corpses abandoned on the streets are intimidating to the little devils who are about to enter the city.

Before rushing to Shucheng, the little devils knew that before they reinforced, the division had already sent a cavalry wing. I originally expected the two troops to meet in Shucheng, but I didn't expect to see such a tragic situation, and the entire long street was full of broken corpses.

The little devils who stayed outside the city and waited to enter the city, looking at the soldiers who rushed out of the city gate with panicked faces, many little devils who didn't know it were startled. Looking at these soldiers rushing out, it was as if they had seen something that frightened them so much.

The commander of the infantry brigade, who was also puzzled, was very unhappy when he saw this scene and said: "Baga! What's going on? Do you still have a bit of Imperial soldiers? Why don't you go into the city, and what is the situation in the city? ”

"General, General! The city is full of corpses, the corpses of our warriors! ”

"Na! Whoever comes, go into the city at once to find out what is going on, and I want to know what is going on in the city. Send multiple troops and search the city to see if there are any survivors. Eight Gyalu! What's going on here? ”

Knowing that the long streets in the city were full of corpses, the Japanese soldiers who stayed outside the city also exploded. On the orders of the commander of the infantry brigade, a large number of infantry who were waiting outside the city began to enter the city, but the infantry stopped when they entered the city.

Just like the soldiers who pushed open the city gates before, looking at those hideous-looking corpses, everyone felt a great shock to their hearts. For these soldiers, the long street in front of them was like a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

Looking at the hesitant soldiers, the officers who had a slightly stronger psychological tolerance said with anger on their faces: "Baga! Immediately enter the city and search to see if there are any survivors in the city. Pay attention to vigilance and beware of a sneak attack by the Chinese army! ”

"Hey!"

The scolded soldiers, even if they felt shocked, still stepped into the long street full of corpses. It can be seen from the traces of the battle left on the long street that the battle did not last long, and many soldiers died defenseless.

The most surprising thing for these little devils is that among these corpses, they did not find any corpses of 'enemy soldiers'. What made them even more angry was that many of the corpses on the long street had been stripped of their coats, and the military uniforms on their bodies had disappeared.

Needless to say, many soldiers knew that the corpses should have been stripped of their clothes. The equipment they were carrying was also cleaned up by the ambushers. It is not difficult to see from the traces left at the scene that this was a massacre at all.

Many officers who were experienced on the battlefield couldn't help but scold when they saw the traces of engagement on Long Street: "Baga! Our warriors should have been caught off guard and ambushed by the heavy troops of the Chinese army on the long street. But why is this so? ”

In the eyes of these officers, even if the ambushed cavalry wing came late at night, they should know the principle of caution. How could they enter the city with such confidence and crash headlong into a trap set by the enemy when the enemy's situation was unknown?

Perhaps they never dreamed that Hu Biao and his task force, after disguising themselves as Japanese soldiers, would make it difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake of the Japanese army. Because of this, the cavalry wing that rushed to reinforce in the starry night was introduced into the long street and was completely annihilated in Shucheng.

Although there was a premonition that there was an accident in the cavalry wing, the commander of the infantry brigade who was ordered to come to the aid would never have imagined that the cavalry wing would end up like this. When commanding the troops to collect the corpses, the commander of the infantry brigade also looked solemn.

Looking at the silent Shucheng, the commander of the infantry brigade said in a heavy tone: "This battle is not easy to fight!" ”

It stands to reason that the elite infantry brigade he brought with him, even if he encounters an elite division of the anti-Japanese war force, the brigade commander is not afraid at all. But seeing this kind of scene this time, he suddenly felt that the next battle would be very difficult.

The reason is simple, for this mysterious unit, the division did not give much valuable information. The number of troops, the armament, the personality of the unit commander, as a brigade commander, everything is unknown.

The unknown is often the most worrying and awe-inspiring!

Thinking of this, the commander of the infantry brigade quickly said: "Send a report to the division and regiment immediately, informing us that our unit has arrived in Shucheng." At the same time, I reported to the division that the cavalry wing was collectively broken in Shucheng, and our department is currently cleaning up the battlefield.

The division and regiment are requested to assign a special high school to investigate the military movements of the main force of the Chinese army as soon as possible and provide corresponding operational intelligence support for our unit. In addition, I hope that the division will also give more time, so that our troops can postpone the offensive and carry out field reconnaissance first! ”

"Hey!"

Before coming, the order given by the division to the infantry brigade was to pursue the mysterious forces that had fled to the territory of Shucheng. But now seeing this scene, the commander of the infantry brigade felt that he must be cautious and beware of repeating the situation of the cavalry wing.

After receiving the telegram from the infantry brigade, the commander of the Japanese division, who was waiting for news, was also extremely silent. Together with the two infantry brigades stationed in Shucheng, in less than two days, the Japanese army lost five or six thousand people in Shucheng.

Such heavy casualties were unprecedented losses for their divisions and regiments in Anhui Province. Earlier, although they had casualties, they did not suffer such large casualties. And now, it is repeatedly planted in a small town.

Knowing that the caution of the commander of the infantry brigade was necessary, the commander of the Japanese division quickly said: "Call back the infantry brigade and agree to its operational requirements." Order the special high class, at all costs, dig out this mysterious army for me! ”

"Hey!"

Looking at the angry commander of the Japanese division, the adjutants under his command felt extremely angry. Such huge casualties undoubtedly caused the combat effectiveness of the division and regiment to decline rapidly. If they don't destroy the enemy, their division will really be a shame this time.

Also feeling the pressure is also the special high class of the Japanese army, which is responsible for providing intelligence support. In the face of the harshly worded telegrams and roars of the Japanese division commander, the special high division also knew that this group of mysterious armed forces must be investigated in the shortest possible time.

The problem is that it is not easy to find the task force that is deliberately hidden. For a time, the special high school of the Japanese army quickly instructed the intelligence spies in Anhui Province to do their best to dig out the whereabouts and whereabouts of Hu Biao and his party.

Stimulated by the continuous increase in the bounty offered by the Japanese army's special high class, some officers of the 26th Group Army stationed in Huoshan still chose to sell their intelligence. Even if the information provided by these officers was somewhat insufficient, it made the special high class happy.

Looking at the information purchased at a high price, the person in charge of the Japanese army's special high class in Anhui Province also said excitedly: "Yo! Finally there is news! Intelligence stations were instructed to keep a close eye on the origins of this task force.

If anyone can gather valuable information, they can offer a big reward. Convey instructions to the hidden agents in Yamashiro to gather information about the task force through their own channels. This force must have something to do with the mountain city. ”

In the eyes of the Japanese army's special high school, such a powerful and mysterious force should be a strange soldier secretly formed by the national army. Compared with collecting intelligence from this side of the battlefield, perhaps more valuable information can be found from those politicians and generals in the mountain city.

As a result, it is obvious that under the temptation of the special high school at no expense and even exposing the hidden pile, the information about the task force has been continuously gathered on the side of the special high school. What left the special high class speechless was that this information still had little value.

Regarding the name of the commander of the task force, a senior official revealed that his surname was Hu, and it is unknown what his specific name is. As for the details of this force, it is also unknown. In terms of troops and weapons and equipment, it is still unknown.

Looking at the information collected, the person in charge of the special high school said angrily: "Eight Geya Road! How is it all unknown? ”

"Section Chief, according to the information we have gathered, this unit is extremely mysterious and rarely has contact with the outside world. According to the information obtained from Shancheng, this task force seems to have been to the Xuzhou battlefield and participated in the battle of ambushing the 10th Division.

Through this line, we may be able to gather some more information about this force from those troops who participated in the Xuzhou operation. It's just that it takes time, and we need more funding and support! ”

"Please ask the headquarters to give the maximum authorization. If we don't dig this force out, we will have more trouble in the future. I have a hunch that there must be an unknown side to this force that is so mysterious that we have to dig it up. ”

"Hey!"

Regarding the Japanese army's special high class frantically collecting intelligence on the task force, Hu Biao, who stayed in the mountains of Shucheng, naturally did not know. But he also understood that some things could not be hidden, and the task force would let the Japanese find out sooner or later.

It's just that in Hu Biao's opinion, even if the Japanese army found out about the task force, they even knew that he was the commander of the force. The Japanese still do not know where the task force is based and how many troops there are.

This point, unless revealed by personnel within the task force, even the troops who have cooperated with Hu Biao do not know all this. In terms of intelligence prevention, Hu Biao has also done enough work, and it is not easy for the little devil to find out the truth.

Knowing that the infantry brigade finally entered the city before nightfall, Hu Biao, who stayed in the mountains, said with a smile: "Lao Qin, transfer a main battalion from the guard regiment and pull the troops left in the mountains outside Shucheng to see if you can find an opportunity." ”

"Detachment leader, a main battalion, too few troops, right?"

"Can't send more! It's really going to be too much, and it will scare the little devils. When the time comes, they will hide in the city and not come out, what will we do? Let the little devils know that we are only a small force and will only play this tactic of sneaking attacks.

Bulletins were sent to prisoner-of-war camps and makeshift camps so that they could keep a close eye on the roads in their respective defense areas. As soon as you find a supply convoy with little devils, report it immediately. What we have is time, and we will slowly consume it with these little devils. ”

Knowing that the reinforced Japanese infantry brigade had all entered the city, Hu Biao knew that the next battle would take place, and he had the upper hand again. When the traps set up in the city are detonated, it is believed that the losses of the infantry brigades will be not small.

If the little devil dares to go out of the city overnight, the troops sent to ambush outside the city at this moment will drive the little devil back into the city. When it was dawn, the ambush troops retreated back to the mountain, allowing the troops on the periphery to continue to attack and block these little devils who entered Shucheng.

As long as it is delayed for a few more days, the Japanese division in Lu'an will have to be dispatched to raise materials, Hu Biao will be able to find the loophole of the little devil, and let Yu Xuezhong's department stationed in Lu'an contain the rest of the little devil's division.

Unless the Little Devil Division is willing to give up the existing occupied area, the main force will retreat to Luzhou to rest. Otherwise, Hu Biao would use the tactics of encirclement to send reinforcements, slowly devouring the strength of the Japanese division until the Japanese division was disabled.

After listening to Hu Biao's operational plan, the three battalion commanders of the guard regiment, who had already rested for a day, said very enthusiastically: "Sir, let's go to our battalion!" Our battalion, more suitable for ambushes! ”

Looking at the three battalion commanders who were actively asking for battle, Hu Biao said with a smile: "Don't ask me, ask your regiment commander about this!" ”

"Tuanza!"

Facing the longing eyes of the three old subordinates, Lin Jian also smiled and scolded speechlessly: "You guys! Following Chief Hu, are you still afraid that there will be no fight? Never mind! Tonight on the first camp, next time on the turn. Don't fight, there will be a chance in the future! ”

"Thank you, Tuanza!"

Hearing what Lin Jian said, the battalion commander of the first battalion of the guard regiment couldn't help but laugh. Earlier, he cooperated with the task force to ambush the Japanese cavalry wing in the city, which really added countless confidence to the officers and men of the guard regiment.

What excited the three battalion commanders the most was that after they entered the mountain, Hu Biao shared a batch of weapons and materials seized from them to the guard regiment according to the battlefield seizures. In addition to material rewards, there are also a lot of rewards.

Originally, Lin Jian planned to refuse, but Hu Biao also said directly: "This is the seizure discipline of our task force!" Since you are fighting with us, I must reward you accordingly. The rules are unbreakable, and you must take this reward. ”

In the face of the rich reward given by Hu Biao, Lin Jian knew very well that the officers and soldiers of the guard regiment at present had an unusually high respect for Hu Biao. In the eyes of many ordinary soldiers, fighting with such a commander can not only win the battle, but also eat meat and make money with extra money!

Even if they knew that Hu Biao was buying people's hearts by doing this, but after coming into contact with Hu Biao, Lin Jian felt that it was indeed their honor to have such a chief. Compared with other generals, Hu Biao really didn't treat them as outsiders.

After resting for a day, most of the officers and soldiers of the first battalion of the guard, who were not sleepy, followed the task force to march again and arrived outside Shucheng to lurk. Looking at the Japanese troops who were already deployed at the head of the city, many officers and soldiers did not seem too anxious.

Before coming, Hu Biao had already told them that they would not attack the city tonight, but would only be responsible for blocking it. If the little devils in the city do not come out, they will stand still and return to the mountain when it is almost dawn.

If the little devils in the city dare to come out, then beat the little devils back. This also means that tonight's battle may not be rewarding, but there is no danger either. Instead, maybe they'll be able to watch a shocking fireworks display.

And Hu Biao, who led the troops at this moment, actually wanted to know that when the explosives planted in the city were detonated, the little devils who went into the city to rest would choose to abandon the city and flee, or choose to defend the city?
