After receiving the lightly and seriously wounded of the 51st Army, Hu Biao, who had already confirmed the division of troops, soon said goodbye to Lei Xiong and his party silently at the fork in the road outside Lu'an City. Many of the soldiers in the prisoner of war camp didn't even know that Hu Biao had taken people away.

Even though Lei Xiong and other officers were reluctant, they still didn't dare to say anything, and watched Hu Biao and his party, who were in charge of the palace, turn to another road leading to Xinyang in the car. And this scene, the 51st Army did not know.

Before dawn, Lei Xiong led the reserve company and the prisoner of war camp to successfully join the combat troops left behind in the temporary camp. The wounded were transported to the camp hospital for treatment, while the rest of the combat units went to the mountains to recuperate in another camp.

Lei Xiong, who was in charge of arranging the task, looked at the combat troops and the wounded who were entering the mountains one after another, and called a left-behind combat platoon commander and said: "Platoon Commander Xu, before dawn, drive these cars to Luzhou and find a place to abandon and destroy them!" ”

"Yes!"

According to Hu Biao's prior arrangement, in order to divert the attention of the Japanese army, he even let the Japanese army retreat to Luzhou City mistakenly judge Hu Biao and his party to return to Luzhou. These cars are believed to make the Japanese soldiers who have turned into frightened birds even more panic.

Before Hu Biao attacked the town, the commander of the Japanese division had already expected that they would most likely not be able to hold the town, so he arranged in advance for the troops stationed in Luzhou City to meet in the bordering area. I didn't want to wait for a long time, only to wait for a group of remnants to be defeated.

Except for the commander of the brigade of major generals, who managed to survive. Including the commander of the Japanese division, the generals and adjutants of the 13th Division almost all died. Knowing that the division commander had died in battle, the Japanese troops who came to reinforce it also felt incredulous.

"Your Excellency the brigade commander, is the division commander really broken?"

"Yaga! Are you doubting my words? The commander of the division is benevolent on the battlefield, and he has fulfilled the responsibility of an imperial general. Now I order, send troops at once, go forward to meet our breakthrough force, and be sure to save some more people back. ”

"Hey! What if you encounter the pursuers of the Chinese army? ”

"Then withdraw it first, depending on the situation! As a captain, do you need me to explain this kind of thing? ”

The division commander and other senior commanders were killed, and the surviving major general brigade commander naturally became the supreme commander of the remaining troops. Faced with the result that the division and regiment were almost completely annihilated, the commander of the major general's brigade was also full of fear.

No one expected that the attacking troops, while launching a fierce attack on the town, would actually set up explosive traps on the road where they were retreating in advance. The division commander, who had originally broken through in an armored car, was directly shocked to death in the explosion.

The rest of the troops who had evacuated with the division commander were also caught off guard by the sudden explosion. In the face of the ferocious ambush fire on both sides of the road, the retreating little devils were powerless to resist at all, and were quickly routed and scattered and fled.

When the commander of the Major General's Brigade successfully avoided the ambush and arrived safely at the receiving point with a squadron, he found that there were not many troops who had withdrawn from the follow-up. The attacking troops, who had been in desperate pursuit, also seemed to have lost the opportunity to continue the pursuit.

It was not until near dawn that the commander of the Major General Brigade, who had reported the situation, finally received an order from the commander of the front army to temporarily assume the position of division commander and bring the remaining division and regimental troops back to Luzhou City to rest and stand by.

When the Central China Front of the Japanese Army was shocked and angry that the 13th Division was disabled. Lao Jiang, who was far away in the mountain city, received the good news from the military commander and the Fifth War Zone, but he was full of joy and bluntly said that this was another great victory that shocked the world.

In addition to being happy, Lao Jiang also asked vigilantly: "Yunong, has this good news been verified?" With Yu Xuezhong's strength and the strength of the 51st Army, can he really inflict heavy losses on nearly 10,000 elite Japanese troops overnight? ”

In the face of Lao Jiang's inquiry, Dai Li also said helplessly: "Be wise!" Before the 5th Theater sent the good news, I had already received a telegram from General Feihu, informing him to cooperate with the 51st Army to defeat the Japanese division that had invaded Lu'an.

That kid's temper, I believe the commission also knows. To talk about this great victory, the 51st Army should also contribute. But I think that the 51st Army should also be cooperating, and it is the kid and his troops who are really the main attackers. ”

Hearing Dai Li's words, Lao Jiang also said happily: "Hearing you say this, I really dare to believe this good news." I really didn't expect that kid to be more and more bold, and he dared to take the 51st Army to take the initiative to fight the trouble of the Japanese army.

Speaking of which, do you have more information on your side about the situation with that kid and the number of troops he has formed behind enemy lines? Also, is that kid really so unkind to me and unwilling to work for me? ”

"Bench, that kid doesn't know how to lift, he doesn't deserve your weight!"

"Play the piano indiscriminately! This is a strong general of the country, and his temper is not very normal. People who have the ability to have a different temperament and personality are always different from ordinary people. Don't worry, although I'm a little unhappy, I know that this kid is still a talent worth cultivating! ”

"Commissioner, in fact, I talked to him earlier, and he is not opposed to cooperating with us. It's just that he was born in the 524th Regiment, and those comrades-in-arms and commanders are still locked up in the lonely barracks. Thinking about it, this is also the case, which makes him feel very unhappy! ”

Seeing Dai Li's words said with a little caution, Lao Jiang also sighed and said, "Alas! If there is a way to rescue those soldiers from the lonely camp, how can I sit idly by? But for now, we need the support of the international community.

The foreigners in the concession were afraid that the little devils would find an excuse to attack the concession, so they never dared to release the troops of the lone military camp. But in the current situation, it would be safer for them to continue to stay in the lonely barracks.

If they really want to leave the concession, the Japanese troops who have always kept an eye on them will definitely not let them go easily. Explain these things clearly, and I'm sure that kid will understand. When dealing with foreigners, we have to be cautious! ”

For the lone military camp that was detained in the concession, Lao Jiang, who had been ordered to commend him, naturally wanted to rescue him. The problem is that the foreigners in the previous concession simply did not agree. The current situation is that foreigners are willing to let Lao Jiang go and they are not at ease.

As the last unit to withdraw from the battlefield in Shanghai, the Japanese army occupying Shanghai is also concerned about it. Unless they can be taken away quietly, they will not be released in the open, and these troops will still not be able to return to the rear alive.

In addition, the agreement reached between the Japanese army and the concession side earlier, if the concession wants to release the detained lone military camp, it may only be possible to wait for the national army to return to Shanghai. Otherwise, in Lao Jiang's opinion, it would be safer to continue to let them stay in the concession.

In fact, Lao Jiang does have a love for Hu Biao, even if Hu Biao doesn't give him face, but he still endures it. But Lao Jiang is still very concerned about Hu Biao's development behind enemy lines, and has always asked Dai Li to pay more attention.

However, Lao Jiang did not know, and as far as the military commanders were concerned, they knew very little about Hu Biao's situation. Except for knowing that Hu Biao had built a base in Anhua Mountain and developed a large number of guerrillas behind enemy lines in the surrounding area, there is not much other inside information to know.

Even if the military commander wanted to insert a secret line into Hu Biao's troops and collect details about Hu Biao's troops, I am afraid that there is not much possibility. For people from unknown sources, Hu Biao doesn't recruit them at all, so why don't you want to get in?

This method is used to deal with the infiltration of spy personnel of the little devil, so why not prevent the spy personnel of other organizations? If you really want to expose all the hole cards, it will definitely be extremely unfavorable for Hu Biao in the future.

When evacuating from Anhui Province, Hu Biao did not forget to send a telegram to the New Fourth Army, informing him of the news that the 13th Division had been severely damaged. At the same time, it was also suggested that the New Fourth Army armed behind enemy lines in Anhui Province should also guard against the sweeping operations launched by the Japanese army in advance.

Once the Japanese army makes a comeback, how to deal with the new round of Japanese offensive, Hu Biao, who has already left, will definitely not be able to count on it. While the little devils have not yet launched an operation, it is the wisest choice to strengthen troop training and build fortifications in advance.

Even so, Commander Ye, who learned the news, also sighed and said: "It's really hard to believe that after this series of battles, they can actually inflict heavy losses on the 13th Division of the Japanese Army." This is a first-class division of the Japanese army, and its combat effectiveness is extremely strong! ”

"Commander, I'm afraid it's hard for them to do this, right? Didn't the telegram he sent say that he cooperated with other anti-war forces to achieve this kind of result in the end? Speaking of which, this guy has such a big face, and anyone is willing to cooperate with him! ”

"If that's the case, then your analytical skills need to be strengthened. Earlier, our troops also fought with them. The fourth detachment later reported on the situation, do you think we would have achieved such great results without them?

I dare say that as long as he is willing to offer cooperation, no anti-war force will refuse. The reason is very simple, in addition to being a little greedy for money, this guy will distribute his combat exploits and weapons and ammunition captured in battle to the troops who cooperate with him.

It doesn't cost too much to get this kind of brilliant military exploits, and you can get a lot of weapons and equipment. At the end of the day, this guy has made him the most popular partner with this way of working together.

When he was leaving, he also sent us a telegram to warn us, such a caring and sincere partner, next time we are invited to cooperate in the battle, do you think we will agree? This guy is very good at figuring out people's hearts! ”

Compared with ordinary combat staff officers, Commander Ye, who has experienced a hundred battles, can analyze more things through Hu Biao's series of actions. It seems that Hu Biao is in the sky, but in fact, he has become comfortable in various anti-Japanese war forces.

With this kind of selfless and sincere cooperation, even if Hu Biao is not labeled as anything, he will still be welcomed by all forces. Even Lao Jiang, knowing that Hu Biao was unwilling to accept the solicitation, would still pay enough attention to him.

The reason is very simple, from Hu Biao leading the Dead Battalion to become famous in the first battle of Jinling, and then the Battle of Xuzhou and the Battle of Wuhan, Hu Biao has already made a reputation. Generals who are qualified to know his identity are looking forward to cooperating with him.

Even if the Eighth Route Army in the north cooperates with other anti-Japanese forces, it may need to be cautious. However, on the issue of dealing with Hu Biao, I believe that the Eighth Route Army will also attach great importance to it and hope to further strengthen close cooperation between them!
