After receiving the telegram from Hu Biao, Xu Yuanquan, who was supervising the defense deployment on the front line, still felt a little surprised. When the infantry brigade arrived in Shucheng earlier, Xu Yuanquan was also worried that he would become Hu Biao's scapegoat and the target of the Japanese army's anger.

As a result, no one expected that the infantry brigade that had just arrived in Shucheng and had not yet gained a firm foothold would disappear overnight. If it weren't for Lin Jian's personal return to report and pull back several carts of weapons, Xu Yuanquan really couldn't believe that this was true.

With the annihilation of the infantry brigade reinforced by the Japanese army in Shucheng, the dark clouds pressing on the head of the 26th Group Army naturally dispersed. The defense troops, who had been tense all day, could finally breathe a long sigh of relief.

I thought that the Japanese army would continue to send reinforcements, but after waiting for a day, I still didn't see the shadow of the little devil's reinforcements. After inquiring about this information, Xu Yuanquan, like Hu Biao, thought that the little devil should be afraid.

If you are a different commander, it is estimated that you will be like the commander of the Japanese division, and will not choose to take risks. A small Shucheng actually buried half of the elite of the division. If the troops are transferred from the division and regiment, how will this battle be fought in the future?

Since the 13th Division marched into Anhui Province, it has clashed with the anti-Japanese troops stationed in Anhui Province several times, defeated a small number of anti-Japanese troops, and occupied more than half of the cities in Anhui Province, but its own casualties are almost negligible.

Who would have thought that just when the 13th Division was about to complete the full occupation of Anhui Province, there were one accident after another in the rear. Not to mention the chaos in the originally occupied city, half of the elite of the division was also put in.

In the face of Hu Biao's suggestion that the 26th Group Army send troops to take over Shucheng, Xu Yuanquan also felt that this opportunity was good. Judging from the current war situation, as long as Hu Biao and his troops are in Anhui Province, the little devils will not want to bargain.

This also means that even if Xu Yuanquan sends troops to take over Shucheng, he will not have to worry about the little devil fighting back in a short time. Even if the little devil will not give up the battle plan to occupy the entire territory of Anhui Province, he will not act until the follow-up reinforcements arrive.

After some discussion, Xu Yuanquan drew the strength of a reinforced regiment from the two main divisions under his command and personally led it to Shucheng. As for Huo Shan, this time should be safer than Shucheng.

When Xu Yuanquan led the troops to Shucheng, Hu Biao also waited outside Shucheng with the guard regiment for a long time. Looking at Shucheng, which was reduced to ruins, Xu Yuanquan also smiled bitterly: "If you fight like this, how can you garrison the army next!" ”

"It's a pity, but I think it's worth it. If every small city can give tens of thousands of lives to the little devils, we won't be so embarrassed by the little devils. If it's broken, it's a big deal to rebuild it.

For us at the moment, don't worry about these bricks and bricks. Although this county town was almost bombed by me, it can still garrison troops after cleaning up. As long as the situation is safe, it won't be long before it will be lively again! ”

"But now in this world, there is a really safe place!"

Looking at Xu Yuanquan with a wry smile on his face, Hu Biao, who accompanied him to visit the city, didn't say much. After last night's explosion and fierce fighting, Shucheng now looks really tattered. But the three city walls are still well preserved after all.

Taking advantage of the visit, Hu Biao also briefly introduced the battle to Xu Yuanquan. Regarding Xu Yuanquan's compliments, Hu Biao did not take it to heart. This kind of polite words, Hu Biao has always been in and out of the left ear!

Arriving at the releveled little devil barracks, Hu Biao pointed to the artillery placed in the open space and said, "Brother, these cannons are my parting gifts." It's a pity that I don't have many shells stored here, so I'll save some shells then.

As for the wounded of those guard regiments, I will also take them with them next. I know that they are all the backbones carefully selected by the old brother. But I have a lot of recruits on my hands, and I also need some backbone to help me out. This favor, my brother will give it, right? ”

In the face of Hu Biao's outspokenness, Xu Yuanquan also smiled and said: "Brother is polite!" Speaking of which, thanks to my brother's help this time, my worries have been solved. The time I gained was enough for me to redeploy my defenses.

I know that my brother is not an ordinary person, and those rabbit cubs can follow you, and it is their luck. I just hope that my brother can take more care of them in the future. At least I hope that in the future, we can keep in touch and communicate with each other! ”

"It's nature! In the future, we will contact the radio station, and if there is any profitable business, I will also give my brother a copy at that time! ”

Just as Hu Biao predicted, it is undoubtedly unwise to fall out with Hu Biao for the sake of some military backbones. Moreover, those military backbones chose to go with Hu Biao, and forcing them to stay would only make the backbone complain.

That is the case, it is better to be a favor, and you can also get a lot of benefits. At least in this exchange of interests, it is Xu Yuanquan who benefits the most, not Hu Biao. If you are a general of the Anti-Japanese War, I am afraid that Xu Yuanquan will feel that Xu Yuanquan has made a lot of money.

After negotiating the transaction and future contact, Hu Biao did not continue to stay in Shucheng, and under the personal send-off of Xu Yuanquan and Lin Jian, he got into the car prepared in advance, and planned to drive to Lu'an overnight to continue to trouble the little devils.

Looking at the car in the distance, Lin Jian, who stayed by Xu Yuanquan's side, sighed slightly: "Military seat, Chief Hu is leaving, it is estimated that it will be difficult to see each other again in the future." If he's willing to stay, we won't have to worry about the little devils attacking! ”

"This is the general of the dragon and tiger, we can't keep it. Fortunately, we have established a relationship with him, and we will eventually have an incense fate in the future. If this person does not die, the future is limitless. This incense will always be useful in the future! ”

Although Hu Biao is only a colonel, Xu Yuanquan is already a lieutenant general. But in the relationship, Xu Yuanquan did not dare to put on the general's shelf. And in Hu Biao's eyes, he also didn't see Hu Biao have any fear of him.

Thinking that Hu Biao didn't even give face to Lao Jiang's recruitment, how could a general of a ragtag army like him dare to talk about subduing Hu Biao?

Waiting for Hu Biao and his entourage to leave, Xu Yuanquan said with a serious expression: "Xiaolin, when the troops return to Huoshan, I will give you two days to rest and recuperate, and then give me good training." If there is a shortage of manpower, the whole army is up to you.

I have only one request, I hope you will restore the combat effectiveness of the guard regiment as soon as possible. This time, you commanded the guard regiment to win glory for our 26th Group Army. I only hope that you can continue to command the guard regiment and make new contributions to our group army! ”

"Please rest assured, Lin Jian will go all out and will not let Junzao down!"

Through Lin Jian's report and explanation, Xu Yuanquan also knew that Hu Biao had a strong combat strength and extremely well-equipped troops. In order to create a fist army, Xu Yuanquan felt that he should put more effort into it.

With this cooperation with Hu Biao, the 26th Group Army is now no short of weapons and ammunition, and even has a lot of materials stored. Taking advantage of the current relative stability, it is still necessary to strengthen the guard regiment again.

When it comes to a tough battle in the future, Xu Yuanquan also hopes that the guard regiment can withstand it. As long as the troops under his command can compete with the little devils in the future, Xu Yuanquan believes that those people in the mountain city will not dare to ignore his existence.

Coupled with the deal negotiated with Hu Biao before, Xu Yuanquan felt that he should be able to make more extra money with the drug business in the later stage. With money, you can recruit troops, and you can buy more supplies. His army group can also quickly regain its strength.

If you want to survive in this war era, you can only increase your own strength. Whether it is those bigwigs in the mountain city or the little devils who bite them, they will not dare to ignore the existence of Xu Yuanquan in the future. This is the effect of the barrel of the gun hardening!

Regarding Xu Yuanquan's plan to use the guard regiment as the foundation to forge a real elite army, Hu Biao didn't think there was anything wrong. It's just that if he wants to train the guard regiment into a task force, I believe Xu Yuanquan still can't do it.

There are some things that not only need to have money and weapons, but also know how to train. In this regard, Hu Biao is a real expert. Even if Lin Jian learns something, it will be in vain after all!

When Hu Biao rushed to Lu'an by car, the reconnaissance detachment led by Xu Sandao had already entered Lu'an in advance. In order to ensure the safety of the follow-up troops' march, the reconnaissance detachment must also find out the situation in the border area.

In order to contain the attention of the Japanese army in Lu'an, Hu Biao even sent a telegram to Yu Xuezhong, who was stationed in Lu'an, hoping that he would send some elite small troops to create some trouble for the little devils stationed around Lu'an.

When Hu Biao leads his troops to Lu'an, he will also look for opportunities to attack. If the rest of the Japanese division can be defeated, the broadsword that has been hanging over the head of the Xuezhong Department can be lifted. Yu Xuezhong should also understand this.

The result was obvious, just as the Japanese division was waiting for the information collected by the special high division before deciding on the next battle plan. Many of the alert troops deployed by the Japanese army on the periphery were harassed and raided by Yu Xuezhong's troops.

Although this kind of harassment and surprise attack did not cause much trouble with the Japanese divisions. But after receiving the information sent back by the alert troops, the commander of the Japanese division was also very surprised: "What about it? The Chinese army went out of the city and launched an attack on us? ”

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, judging from the current situation, it should only be an attack and temptation. If nothing else, the defenders in Lu'an City should already know what happened in Shucheng. This move is supposed to test our reaction. ”

"Yaga! These defenders are really looking for death! ”

For many Japanese commanders, they always felt that if they didn't trouble the defenders, the defenders should be happy. It's good now, the defenders who had been hiding in the city before dared to send troops out of the city and take the initiative to find trouble with them.

If it had been before, they would have not said a word, and directly dispatched elite troops to start a siege battle. But at present, the division is short of troops, and it is indeed unable to organize a large-scale siege battle. Thinking of this, the Japanese commanders were also aggrieved.

But as far as the current situation is concerned, they can't take the defenders in the city, and the defenders in the city shouldn't be able to take them. As the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and the Japanese army division at this moment, even if it hurts its muscles and bones, it is still not to be underestimated!
