The news of the capture of Luzhou City was sent out in advance through the radio, and Hu Biao led the detachment on the road. The guerrillas of the New Fourth Army, who were responsible for the closure, were also seizing the time to transfer the seized materials and strive to transport them back to the base area before dawn.

Although the Japanese puppet army stationed in Luzhou City could not be completely annihilated, the Japanese puppet army that could break through and evacuate from the north of the city was also as panicked as a lost dog. In addition, they were chased by snipers and guerrillas for a period of time, and they felt that there were ambushes everywhere.

The task of pursuing the remnants of the defeated army, Hu Biao also handed it over to the guerrillas. Whether the remaining Japanese puppet soldiers can escape depends on whether they can hold out until dawn, or whether they can escape the pursuit of the guerrillas.

After two days of coordinated operations, all the guerrilla units that had been ordered to rush to help in the battle had already changed their outfits. With abundant weapons and ammunition, and being familiar with the local situation as a local snake, the Japanese puppet army that escaped from the city must not have a good time.

On the other hand, the 13th Division of the Japanese Army, which was far away in Lu'an, sent a telegram to Luzhou City to send an infantry wing to reinforce, and there was no further contact. In addition, the siege time was late at night, and the defenders of Luzhou City didn't even have time to send a farewell message.

The reason is simple, the radio of the garrison garrison was placed in the garrison headquarters. During the shelling, the little devils who stayed in the radio room were also crushed to death in the collapsed house. As for the little devil's radio station, it was naturally dug up by the task force.

When it was dawn, Hu Biao looked at the sky and said, "Order the troops, find a hidden valley and camp to rest!" All cars, camouflaged. Rest for half a day, wait for lunch and continue on your way! ”

"Yes, detachment leader!"

Considering that the troops have not been able to rest well in the past few days, Hu Biao also plans to give the troops half a day of rest. Taking advantage of the rest time, Hu Biao also wanted to collect information from all parties to see what the little devil would do next.

Moreover, after a night's drive, the task force had arrived at the border between Luzhou and Lu'an. After the troops had found a temporary resting place, Hu Biao also sent a telegram to the reconnaissance detachment, asking if there was any enemy situation on the road ahead.

Xu Sandao, who led the reconnaissance detachment into Lu'an in advance, received a telegram from Hu Biao and quickly replied: "The enemy situation has not been discovered yet!" The highway is relatively safe, and monitoring and alert personnel have been arranged near the highway. ”

In order to ensure the safety of the follow-up convoy, after entering the territory of Lu'an, Xu Sandao put down two members of the reconnaissance team every one to two kilometers. What these team members have to do is to monitor the situation on this side of the road at all times.

Once an emergency is discovered, the detachment will be notified in time to report it. If there is no enemy situation, it is safer for the convoy to meet the main force directly and continue to drive towards the destination when the convoy arrives and passes.

Wearing the military uniform of the little devil and driving the transport vehicle of the little devil, Hu Biao not only needs to beware of the little devil, but also needs to beware of the anti-Japanese war troops that may be encountered. In recent years, many anti-Japanese war troops behind enemy lines needed supply convoys to fight little devils.

If you are not careful, Hu Biao may really be ambushed by the anti-Japanese war forces hiding in Lu'an. If that happens, it would be a big loss. Therefore, it is also very necessary for the reconnaissance detachment to arrange reconnaissance and alert members along the way.

When the task force began to camp and rest, the 13th Division of the Japanese Army, which was far away in Lu'an, and the infantry wing that had been transferred were also ready to set off. To the surprise of the infantry captain, they could not reach the defenders of Luzhou City.

After listening to the telecommunications officer's report, the commander of the infantry wing was very surprised: "Can't you get in touch now?" ”

"Yes, Your Excellency, Wing Commander! Since the morning, I've been calling several times in a row, and there has been no answer! ”

"Shw! Could it be that the telecommunications officer in Luzhou City did not arrange for someone to be on duty? ”

"Your Excellency, this should be unlikely. According to the rules, there must be people around the radio all day! ”

"In your judgment, could it be that something happened to Luzhou City?"

"I don't dare to make a decision under this position! Do you want to report this matter to the division? ”

The infantry wing, which was responsible for returning to Luzhou City, was not with the division headquarters. Originally, the infantry wing planned to inform the garrison of Luzhou, and the two sides maintained communication as much as possible so that news could be conveyed at any time during the march.

According to the telegram sent by the defenders of Luzhou City, there are many rebel forces lurking around Luzhou City at present. This also means that when the infantry wing comes back, it must also be prepared to be attacked and disturbed. Liaison with the garrison in advance also facilitates joint operations between the two sides.

No one expected that the defenders of Luzhou, who had telegraphed with the division last night, suddenly couldn't get in touch this morning. This kind of change really made the infantry wing, which was preparing to set off for reinforcements, seem somewhat overwhelmed.

When the situation was reported to the division headquarters, the commander of the Japanese division was also puzzled: "Baga! What's going on here? ”

"General, the Luzhou Garrison Wing, nothing will happen, right?"

The garrison stationed in the city has the radio turned on throughout the day to keep in touch with the outside world. If it were an ordinary county-level garrison, perhaps the radio station would not be able to stay on all day. But Luzhou City is the capital city of southern Anhui!

Most of the garrison troops in Anhui Province sent a telegram to the garrison commander of Luzhou City as soon as they encountered any unexpected situation. It is impossible for the radio station to be interrupted without accidents. Once the contact is lost, it proves that there is a high probability that something will happen to the troops.

Hearing the speculation made by his subordinates, the division commander frowned and said, "In Luzhou City, there is an infantry wing stationed there, and there are a large number of Imperial Cooperative Army. Coupled with our repaired and strengthened fortifications, it is impossible for the Chinese army to capture Luzhou in a short time. ”

"So how do you deal with this?"

"Call back the reinforced infantry wing, let them set off immediately, and strive to rush to Luzhou as soon as possible. At the same time, a telegram was sent to the army airline, asking them to dispatch a reconnaissance plane as soon as possible to carry out aerial reconnaissance over the city of Luzhou.

As soon as an enemy situation is discovered, the detected situation is immediately sent back. At the marching speed of the infantry wing, when they arrived in Luzhou, it was believed that our reconnaissance planes had already reconnoitred the situation in Luzhou City. ”

The enemy's situation is unknown, and it will undoubtedly be dangerous to march rashly. But in the eyes of the commander of the Japanese division, if something really happened to the defenders of Luzhou City, it must not be a trivial matter. You must know that there are also many divisions and regiments' combat materials stored in Luzhou City.

If these materials are destroyed, it will also have a major impact on the follow-up operations of the division and regiment. It is precisely because of this that the division commander attaches so much importance to the situation in Luzhou and does not hesitate to let the troops postpone the offensive in order to ensure stability in the rear.

When the reconnaissance planes dispatched by the Japanese army appeared over the city of Luzhou, the guerrillas, who also left early in the morning, began to withdraw to their respective guerrilla areas with a large amount of captured supplies. Seeing the little devil plane, the partisans also hurried to hide.

Looking at the Japanese fighters flying towards Luzhou City, many guerrilla leaders looked worried: "It seems that the little devil should know that something happened to Luzhou City." Next, let's make plans early to guard against the revenge and sweep of the little devils! ”

"I'm scared! Now that we have seized so many supplies, weapons and ammunition, if the little devils really want to sweep up, let's hide in the mountains. With this food, we can stay in the mountains for a month or two, and the little devil won't stay for so long, right?

With food, weapons and ammunition, we can continue to expand our troops. If there aren't many people in the Little Devil faction, let's fight with them. Let these little devils know that our guerrillas are not easy to mess with! ”

Regarding the belligerence of his subordinates, the guerrilla leader shook his head with a wry smile and said: "This time, Luzhou City can be conquered, all thanks to the contribution of Chief Hu's troops. With only one guerrilla force, we are no match for the little devils in any way.

Never mind! Hurry up and push things on and hurry immediately, or wait for the little devil's plane to return, we will be in real trouble. First transport the captured materials and ammunition into the mountain, and then see how the little devil moves. I really can't do it, so I can only dodge first. ”

Compared with the guerrillas under their command, they changed their weapons and equipment and fought a big victory, and most of them seemed full of confidence. These veterans, who served as guerrilla leaders, knew very well that they had not contributed much to this great victory.

The best thing to say is to cooperate with the battle, and the ugly thing is to follow behind you to pick up the cheap. If it were their own, even if they encountered a Japanese squadron, they would not dare to say that they would be able to win.

When the Japanese reconnaissance plane flew over Luzhou City, looking at the empty city and the traces of a large number of artillery bombardments, the Japanese pilot in charge of reconnaissance was also shocked: "Baga! Something really happened in Luzhou City! ”

"Lower your flight altitude and reconnoiter up close to see what's going on in the city!"

Flying too high, the situation in the city is not so carefully seen. Lower the flight altitude to see more clearly. But for Hu Biao, who left Luzhou City, the pit blown up by the heavy artillery last night has been buried.

Only the crater blown up by the mountain artillery shell, Hu Biao didn't pay much attention. The purpose of this is also very simple, that is, to conceal the existence of four heavy artillery siege cities, so that the little devil feels that there are troops equipped with mountain artillery to raid Luzhou City.

With the little devil's understanding of the anti-war troops, the anti-war units that can be equipped with mountain artillery are all elite troops at the division level without exception. With this judgment, it is believed that the Japanese divisions and regiments staying in Lu'an will not be able to sit still.

Correspondingly, if you add four heavy cannons, the little devil will find it unlikely. As a place occupied by the Japanese army, it may be possible to infiltrate an elite main division in a short period of time. Can be heavy artillery, all need to be pulled by car.

If a car pulling heavy artillery appears, how can it avoid the Japanese garrison in the area? On the other hand, if you look at mountain artillery, you can use a war horse directly to pull a light mountain artillery, and you don't need to use a car to pull it.

When the commander of the Japanese division in Lu'an received the reconnaissance report sent back by the Army Airlines, his first reaction was that it was impossible. After the power transmission was confirmed, the commander of the Japanese division also realized that the territory of Anhui Province was not too peaceful! In their rear, something big is also going to happen!
