Looking at the fighter plane that had finally been successfully captured after spending a lot of effort to take it into the air, Hu Biao, who had packed up the spoils of war, took some people into the heavily guarded Bengbu City. For Hu Biao's return, the troops responsible for defending the city also breathed a sigh of relief.

In order to give the independent regiment more time to transfer supplies, Hu Biao, who returned to Bengbu City, asked people to post notices as soon as possible, so that the people in the city could go out of the city to hide as much as possible. It was not until this moment that the people in the city knew that Bengbu City had been recovered.

As for the puppet soldiers who were captured last night, according to their personal wishes, they are willing to stay and join the security group. Those who are unwilling to stay will leave with the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army. If they don't want to, they take off their military uniforms and let them leave Bengbu City.

Looking at the officers and soldiers who began to get busy, Hu Biao found the regiment commander in charge of the city defense and said, "Commander Lin, your division seat should be there soon." Before the little devils can react, hurry up and build air defense and fortifications! ”

Faced with Hu Biao's order, Regiment Leader Lin also said directly: "Sir, are you leaving again?" ”

"Yes! I'm just a transit troop, not the same mission as yours. When your division arrives, I will give an account to the troops in and around Mengcheng to make every effort to prepare for the Japanese counterattack. This Bengbu, if you can defend it, if you can't defend it, you will withdraw! ”

"In this way, this battle is not in vain?"

"How can it be in vain? Didn't we destroy the little devils in the city before? Aren't those traitors and scum also cleaned up by us? Don't worry too much about this kind of gain and loss, it is also important to preserve your own strength.

Now put more effort into building fortifications, and when the little devils come, you can also reduce the damage. The battle over there in Wuhan is coming to an end, can you rely on the troops in one theater of operations to deal with the counterattack and revenge of a large number of little devils?

Only by relying on the lost territory that has been regained so far can they block the Japanese army step by step, as long as they make the little devils feel uncomfortable, they will naturally retreat. And what you have to do next is to repair more fortifications, store more ammunition and supplies, and fight a protracted war with the little devils. ”

It is clear that many officers and men will be reluctant to let these officers and men give up the lost territory they have just regained. But in Hu Biao's view, it is difficult to resist the counterattack of a large number of Japanese troops with only the troops under the command of Zhao Chengwu, and it is the best policy to rely on the existing territory to block the attack.

For the Japanese army who had made a comeback, only the cities that crossed the railway would be taken seriously by them. While spending time on repairing the railway, they also had to start an encirclement and suppression war, and the Japanese army was afraid that they would not be able to stand it for a long time.

The stalemate and confrontation battle situation is the normal state of the national army and the Japanese army in the future. If you really want to spend money to recover the area controlled by the Fifth War Zone, I'm afraid that the little devils will also have to think about whether the price paid is worth it.

What's more, although Hu Biao and the task force left, Hu Biao's rescue team did not leave in northern Anhui. On the frontal battlefield, Hu Biao will not let the rescue team participate, but behind the enemy attack and sabotage, I believe that the rescue team is still no problem.

Coupled with the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army, which have abundant supplies and ammunition, it is believed that it will not be easy for the little devils to reoccupy these territories recovered by Hu Biao in a short period of time. The longer the war drags on, the worse it will be for the little devils!

When a main force led by Zhao Chengwu finally arrived safely in Bengbu City, Hu Biao also received a telegram from Bai Chongxi that all the fighters that took off from Bengbu had landed safely, and there were no accidents on the way.

After receiving the telegram from Bai Chongxi, Hu Biao also quickly said: "Call back to Chief Bai, ask him to do a good job of camouflaging the corresponding fighters, and don't let the little devil find out where the temporary airport is." If not, it will inevitably be bombarded by little devils.

When our airfield is completed, I hope that they will abide by the corresponding agreements and fly over the part of the fighter planes that belong to us. I'll talk about the details when I get to the place. During this time, I hope he will take care of those fighters for me! ”

"Yes, detachment leader!"

The combat team members who followed those pilots last night and were also familiar with the performance of the aircraft are actually looking forward to flying into the sky in a fighter plane one day. It's just that if you want to fly an airplane into the air, you still need to do some professional learning.

After a secret meeting with Zhao Chengwu, who arrived, Hu Biao asked all the fighters to change into civilian clothes and leave Bengbu in the form of a team. Even if Zhao Chengwu wanted to send him out of the city, Hu Biao politely refused.

When he left, he also said sincerely: "Brother, I don't know when I will have a chance to meet again." Fortunately, there is a radio station, if there is anything that needs my brother's help, my brother will also send a telegram, and where I can help, my brother will do his best. ”

"You're welcome, brother! My brother can have today, thanks to my brother's support. I only hope that the elder brother will cherish it more, and there will be a chance to drink the celebration wine again in the future. In the future, I hope that my brother can bring my brother a few more! ”

"Definitely! It's not early, how precious is my brother! ”

After cherishing each other, Hu Biao also took the guards around him and left Bengbu City with other people who went out of the city. At this time, the Japanese army seemed to have noticed that something should have happened in Bengbu.

After sending several telegrams in succession, it was found that the telegrams replied were all similar, and the Japanese army soon noticed that something was wrong with Bengbu. A report was sent to Bengbu Airport, but there was no reply from the airport, and the Japanese realized that the airport had been captured.

Analyzing this situation, the commander of the Japanese infantry brigade looked at the few telegrams received last night and said angrily: "Baga! Damn, we were fooled. The reinforcements we sent were afraid that they would be surrounded and annihilated by the enemy at Guzhen. ”

"General, this should be unlikely, right? That's a whole wing! ”

"Nothing is impossible! If Guzhen Station was controlled by the enemy before the reinforcements arrived, the other side planted explosives on the railway in advance. When our train passes by, what do you think will happen to the troops on our train? ”

Transporting troops by train is naturally faster than marching by car or on foot. Correspondingly, once the train derails, the casualties are also heavy. What's more, the speed of the moving train is inherently fast.

Coming to this conclusion, the commander of the infantry brigade quickly said: "Send a telegram to the nearest army and air force, requesting that fighter planes be sent into the air and let them rush to the territory of Bengbu to carry out reconnaissance." When the reconnaissance plane returns, all the truth will be revealed. ”

The result was obvious: when the reconnaissance plane sent by the Japanese army arrived over Bengbu, looking at the already empty airport and the quiet city of Bengbu, the Japanese pilots in charge of reconnaissance soon knew that the city and the airport had fallen.

When the news was confirmed, the commander of the infantry brigade said very unwillingly: "Eight Geya Road! Damn, who exactly is the enemy commander in charge of directing this series of battles? Why is there no specific information so far? ”

In the face of a series of changes in northern Anhui, the Japanese army felt confused. Although I know that this series of battles is directly related to the Fifth War Zone. The commander who can lead the front-line battle, the Japanese army has not been able to inquire so far.

On the contrary, when Hu Biao saw the appearance of the Japanese reconnaissance plane, he said very directly: "Order the troops and start advancing in the direction of Suzhou." Send a telegram to the assault battalion to join up with the local rescue team. When we arrive, we will discuss the next battle plan. ”

"Yes, detachment leader!"

"Send another telegram to the white commander of the Fifth War Zone, and ask the troops stationed near Haozhou to start moving in the direction of Huaibei and Suzhou, divert the attention of the Japanese army, and buy more time for the troops in Bengbu."

"Understood!"

Telegrams had been received from the assault battalion earlier, and the Japanese troops stationed in Suzhou and Xuzhou had significantly strengthened their vigilance. Especially on the railways, heavy troops were deployed. Looking at this frame, I am also worried that the railway will continue to be damaged.

In fact, the mileage of the railway destroyed by the assault battalion was enough for the Japanese army to repair for a long time. What's more, the railway from Suzhou to Bengbu has already been blown to pieces, and if you want to repair it, it will only take more time.

According to Hu Biao's speculation, the railway will not be able to resume operation within a year. With the rescue team under his command, Hu Biao can send people every once in a while to sabotage the railway, which will definitely make the little devil crazy and angry.

The more troops the little devils contain on the railway line, the fewer troops will be sent to carry out the task of encirclement, suppression, and sweeping. What Hu Biao had to do in the later stage was to take advantage of the diversion of the little devil's attention to strive to expand the base areas behind enemy lines and the size of the troops.

According to the statistics of the telegram sent earlier, Hu Biao already knew that the number of combat troops under his command had expanded to nearly 10,000. The vast majority of the troops were concentrated in the territory of the Soviet Province, and the number of troops in the territory of the Shandong Province was also quite large.

If it weren't for Hu Biao's intention to reduce and control the expansion of the troops, I am afraid that the scale would be even larger. In addition, most of these troops expanded by Hu Biao are elite and strong generals, and the combat quality and quality of the soldiers are not inferior to the Japanese army.

What made Hu Biao a little relieved was that for the time being, Hu Biao did not need to invest money in the guerrillas and the main base areas. Through combat capture and trading, the ammunition and supplies in each base area were abundant, which was enough to cope with the sweep carried out by the Japanese army in the later period.

And the assault battalion transferred from Malingshan this time was also selected from various companies in accordance with Hu Biao's requirements and in the form of a large-scale competition. Although its combat strength is not as good as that of the task force, it is also much stronger than the Japanese army.

This also shows that Hu Biao has always emphasized taking the line of elite soldiers, and now he is slowly seeing the effect. The most important thing is that until now, the Japanese army did not know that these troops active in the occupied areas were all under the command and dispatch of Hu Biao.

Where there was the Eighth Route Army, most of these guerrillas fought in the name of the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army. Wherever there are armed forces behind enemy lines, they exist in the form of guerrillas behind enemy lines of the national army. In areas where the New Fourth Army operates, it is natural that it is also under the banner of the New Fourth Army.

Those who are qualified to know Hu Biao's alternative existence are all bigwigs without exception. It is naturally impossible to get more information about Hu Biao from these people. This also puts an end to the possibility of Hu Biao being exposed!

When Hu Biao's inspection of the troops is over, he will start the strategy of moving troops and transfer more elite troops to the southwest. At that time, even if the little devil knows about Hu Biao's existence, it will not be easy to trouble him!
