The Japanese wing that returned to Shucheng to annihilate all the reinforcements did not take Hu Biao too much time. After cleaning up the battlefield, Hu Biao still abandoned all the corpses of Japanese soldiers in Shucheng as before, and the combat troops evacuated Shucheng before dawn.

Hu Biao, who led his troops to leave Shucheng, like the prisoner of war company that had slept soundly all night, escaped into the mountains in Shucheng and began to rest. The officers and men of the guard regiment, who had fought fiercely all night, saw that they could finally rest, and they also looked for a place to rest and make up for sleep.

On the other hand, the task force under Hu Biao's command was still under Hu Biao's orders and began to act as a liaison and vigilance force. Using the unique radio network of the task force, a tight intelligence network was built in Shucheng to transmit information in real time.

As long as the Japanese reinforcements entered Shucheng, they would not want to hide from the reconnaissance team under Hu Biao's command. Although battlefield reconnaissance is very hard, after controlling the various communication arteries in the territory, the combat personnel in charge of reconnaissance and vigilance can also take turns to rest.

It is precisely for this reason that even if he cooperates with Hu Biao to fight once, Lin Jian still doesn't know how many troops Hu Biao has in his hands. The only thing that can be confirmed is that the troops trained by Hu Biao are several times more elite than the guard regiment.

Before leaving the city, a battalion commander who returned to Huoshan with the convoy transporting supplies also reported to Xu Yuanquan about the specific battle process. It was really shocking to learn that the guard regiment had completely annihilated a wing of the Japanese army at the cost of more than 100 casualties.

The two division commanders who listened to the battle report together also said in disbelief: "When did the little devil be so easy to deceive?" ”

"Commander, this time the guard regiment is just cooperating with the battle. But Chief Hu's subordinates, after entering the city, all changed into the military uniforms of little devils. The most important thing is that Chief Hu and his subordinates seem to be talking about little devils.

If you don't look closely, it's hard to spot their flaws. Earlier, when the regimental seat gave the battle order, we also felt that it was too risky. But in the end, we found out that this kind of battle was really cool, and it was a completely one-sided slaughter! ”

Although they had not experienced the war in person, Xu Yuanquan and the two division commanders could imagine that the unsuspecting Japanese army came from a long distance and was exhausted. It was compressed on a long street, and it couldn't be erected at all.

In the face of a sudden attack, there is really not much power to fight back. But as commanders, they still know how risky this battle plan is. If you are not careful, the guard regiment lurking in the city may be completely wiped out by the Japanese army.

After listening to the combat report, Xu Yuanquan also praised and said: "I have always heard that General Flying Fox is the best at winning more with less, and his combat is not random at all. Now it seems that the name of the flying fox really lives up to its name! ”

After reporting the battle situation, the battalion commander of the guard regiment also said in a timely manner: "Before leaving, Chief Hu asked me to bring a sentence to the military seat. Next, the little devils should gather heavy troops and rush to Shucheng, and it is even very likely that they will launch a fierce offensive against us.

Chief Hu hopes that we can rely on the existing fortifications to stop the little devils for one or two days. When the time comes, he will lead the Guard Regiment and his troops to launch a surprise attack from behind enemy lines. If you succeed, you can flank the little devil back and forth and fight a turnaround battle.

If we can once again destroy the main force of the Japanese army that entered Shucheng, then the threat we faced earlier can be lifted in a short time. As for the Japanese troops in Lu'an, Chief Hu will also contact the troops stationed in Lu'an to contain the little devils. ”

After saying this, Xu Yuanquan thought about it and smiled bitterly: "It seems that that kid's things are really hot!" Passing on my order, the forward positions began to enter the stage of combat readiness, and all the weapons sent this time were distributed to the brothers.

Anyway, General Flying Fox is just here to join in the fun, and we are the local snakes here. If there is a chance to encircle and annihilate some of the little devils, we can also avenge the brothers who died in the battle earlier. In this battle, the whole army must use their lives! ”

"Yes, Throne!"

Through Hu Biao's words, Xu Yuanquan, who is a veteran general in the army, quickly understood this truth. But he must admit that if he were someone else, he would not be able to gain any benefit except for swallowing this bitter fruit.

On the other hand, Hu Biao's handling of it made him unable to get angry at all. It seems to be a bit of a conspiracy, but it is actually an upright conspiracy. No matter what Hu Biao does, the Japanese army will attack Huoshan sooner or later, and he will have to die with the little devil sooner or later.

Now with the weapons and ammunition sent by Hu Biao twice, the troops stationed in the forward defensive positions can also replace a batch of sophisticated weapons. Most importantly, they don't have to worry about ammunition and supplies for a short period of time.

Moreover, Hu Biao also gave them a hope of turning defeat into victory. As a general, Xu Yuanquan also doesn't want to become a regularly defeated general. If he can win the battle once, it will be a rare opportunity for him and these subordinates in the army to make a name for themselves.

When Xu Yuanquan was in full swing to carry out defensive deployment, Yu Xuezhong's Department of the 51st Army of the Northeast Army, which was stationed in Lu'an, was also on high alert. The main force of the Japanese army forced into Lu'an, and the defending troops naturally knew about it.

Earlier, the Japanese division suddenly ordered to stop the attack, which really surprised Yu Xuezhong. After receiving the telegram from the military commander, he learned why the Japanese army stopped attacking, and it turned out that the Japanese army was attacked in the rear, which caused the Japanese army's supply to be blocked.

Compared with Xu Yuanquan, he knows some things about Hu Biao better, but Yu Xuezhong doesn't know much about Hu Biao. The only thing that surprised Yu Xuezhong was the telegram that Dai Li personally sent to him, asking him to cooperate with Hu Biao in the battle at the right time.

Yu Xuezhong felt a little unhappy before, but as the troops under his command sent more and more information about the troop movements of the little devils, Yu Xuezhong learned that the Luzhou City and Chucheng occupied by the Japanese army had been captured one after another, and the commander was Hu Biao.

Looking at the information sent back by the scouts under his command, Yu Xuezhong was very surprised and said, "Where did this task force come from?" It is indeed surprising that the Japanese army has repeatedly suffered heavy defeats, and that it has the ability to capture the fortified city of Luzhou! ”

If you don't understand it, you don't understand it, Yu Xuezhong is the same as Xu Yuanquan, they both know a truth. If Hu Biao had not attacked behind enemy lines, it is estimated that the Japanese army would have launched an offensive against Lu'an City and Huoshan.

When the time comes, they will still have to fight back. Whether or not they can hold their positions in the end is actually a matter of obviousness. Now that there is a task force to contain the main forces of the Japanese army, they are indeed much easier and have a little respite.

What pleased Yu Xuezhong the most was that the reconnaissance troops under his command successively discovered that the Japanese army had withdrawn troops from the vicinity of Lu'an. The front-line troops, who had been tense and confrontational, were finally able to breathe a sigh of relief and take the opportunity to strengthen their fortifications.

After receiving the telegram from Hu Biao, Yu Xuezhong could not hide his shock and said: "I really didn't expect that the cavalry wing sent by the Japanese army to Shucheng was completely annihilated by the task force. How did this surnamed Hu do it? ”

Just when Yu Xuezhong was shocked, the chief of staff under his command suddenly said: "Junzao, I suddenly remembered something!" ”

"What's the matter?"

"Earlier, during the Battle of Taierzhuang, when the Fifth Theater surrounded and annihilated the 10th Division of the Japanese Army, it seems that it was also ambushed by a special task force. According to the information I have learned, the commander of that team is also surnamed Hu! ”

"You mean, the commander of these two armies is actually the same person?"

"The Einsatzgruppen sounds like it should be smaller than the task force. In terms of time, I think it's very likely. Most importantly, it is said that the commander of this unit has an extremely close relationship with the military commanders, and even attaches great importance to the commission. ”

Combined with the telegram sent by Dai Li, Yu Xuezhong finally believed the chief of staff's analysis that the special transport team that appeared in a low-key manner in the Battle of Xuzhou earlier and the task force that appeared on the battlefield in Anhui Province at this moment should be under the same command.

Only this explanation can explain why Dai Li personally sent him a telegram and specifically reminded him to cooperate closely with the operation of the task force. For Xuezhong, if Hu Biao can really solve the danger of Liu'an, he doesn't mind listening to Hu Biao's dispatch.

Thinking of this, Yu Xuezhong also said directly: "In my name, send a telegram to the task force to congratulate." In addition, a telegram was sent to General Xu, asking them about the situation there. If you want to break this crisis, you must work together! ”

If it was earlier, Yu Xuezhong would not easily contact Xu Yuanquan. In the final analysis, they are all miscellaneous troops in the combat sequence of the national army, and they all need to accept the instructions from above. But now, they have a common ally.

If it can really defeat the main force of the attacking Japanese division, it will be extremely beneficial for both Xuezhong and Xu Yuanquan. As generals of the Anti-Japanese War, they also knew very well that if they could win the battle, they would be able to keep the troops, and they would be valued by Lao Chiang.

The worst is that in terms of materials and promotions, Lao Jiang must also give some benefits. If not, how can you expect the rest of the anti-Japanese generals to serve? If you lose a battle, you will be punished, and if you win a battle, you should be rewarded, and it is a matter of course!

After receiving the telegram from Yu Xuezhong and Xu Yuanquan, Hu Biao, who was about to rest, also said with a smile: "It seems that the situation of the tripartite joint operation has been formed, and now it depends on how the little devil makes a move!" I just hope that the little devil won't let me down! ”

With the promise of the two generals, Hu Biao really breathed a sigh of relief. Joining forces against the enemy means that Hu Biao can also have allies to borrow from when necessary. Taken together, the strength of the three parties is no worse than that of the Japanese divisions in Lu'an.

Moreover, with the transfer of an infantry wing of the Japanese army to Luzhou City, I am afraid that I will not be able to return for a short time. Last night, a combat wing sent by the Japanese army was completely annihilated, and the strength of the Japanese division in Lu'an has been weakened a lot.

As long as the next battle is fought, Hu Biao believes that the remaining Japanese troops, if they don't want to be completely annihilated, can only retreat to Luzhou to regroup. This also means that the operational attempt to threaten Wuhan from the flank will not be realized in a short time!

When Hu Biao was resting and making up for sleep, the Japanese army divisions still stationed in Lu'an seemed a little unpeaceful. The reason is also very simple, the division radio soon found out that they had lost contact with the cavalry wing sent to Shucheng.

The cavalry wing, which was supposed to arrive in Shucheng before dawn to send back the telegram, failed to send the telegram back on time. Waiting for the division to send a report to contact, it was found that the cavalry wing was in a state of disconnection. This also means that this team is also more auspicious!
