Looking at Hu Biao and his entourage, who disappeared from the city gate in a car, Qin Zhen and the others who came to see them off still seemed a little reluctant. But they knew in their hearts that Hu Biao had already done what he had to do, and the rest would be handled by them.

Fortunately, the little devils stationed in Chucheng were completely annihilated, and the remaining puppet troops were also disarmed and taken into custody. Although the guerrillas who took over the guard of Chucheng were insufficient, it was not long before one of their main regiments was about to arrive in Chucheng.

Although some guerrilla fighters were curious, what kind of loot Hu Biao and his party took with them when they left. But these soldiers all know that together with the several warehouses in the little devil barracks, they were all left to them by Hu Biao in the final analysis.

If it weren't for Hu Biao's troops passing by by chance tonight, let alone conquering Chucheng, which they didn't dare to think of at all, even their newly formed guerrilla force might have been wiped out. In this case, they are so strong to keep Hu Biao and his party!

A guerrilla backbone standing beside Qin Zhen said with a little envy: "Listen to our soldiers, the homes of those traitors have been raided by them. It is estimated that the money copied out was packed up and taken away by them. ”

"It's the spoils they deserve, isn't it?"

The rules of the New Fourth Army's battlefield capture were similar to those of the Eighth Route Army, and the officers and men of the guerrillas also hoped to capture more gold, silver, or ocean than the weapons, ammunition, and materials they had captured. These are hard currencies that can be exchanged for supplies at any time!

But as Qin Zhen said, these gold, silver, jewelry, and wealth that were taken away were themselves the spoils that Hu Biao deserved. Anyway, give them a share, right? Even if Hu Biao is kind, it won't be so good!

Ordering everyone to guard the prisoners and supplies, Qin Zhen was also anxiously waiting for the arrival of the main force in front of the city gate. In order to ensure that the situation was not chaotic before the main group entered the city, Qin Zhen also sent several patrols in the city, strictly prohibiting the people in the city from moving around at will.

On the other hand, the task force that left Chucheng by car did not even change the military uniform of the little devil on its body, and everyone took a few cars and continued to advance along the highway in the direction of Hefei. The speed of travel by car is undoubtedly faster than walking.

As long as you get these cars in a hurry before dawn, I believe that the little devils will not be able to track them. What's more, for many people in Chucheng, the troops who captured Chucheng were the New Fourth Army, so what does it have to do with Hu Biao?

Looking at the war horses that appeared near the convoy from time to time, Qin Tianyou also said seriously: "Detachment leader, can these horses be kept?" ”

"What are you keeping? Transportation! Although there are horses that deliver news faster, but this is the south, and our people ride the tall horses of little devils, and they can't attract attention if they want to. We have to march in a low-key manner, this horse is not suitable for the team. ”

"It's a pity! These twenty little devils' military horses have really good foot strength. If we can use it, we can also have a mobile force with rapid response. Compared to cars, I think these war horses are left behind, and there should be no big problem. ”

Faced with Qin Tianyou's suggestion, Hu Biao thought about it for a while and said, "When you stay camping, you will discuss it with Lao Xu and them." Even if the war horse is to be left behind, the war horse must be hidden during the day. Only at night will the war horse not be too conspicuous! ”

Many soldiers who know this era are proud to have a war horse. Everyone knows that most of the people who can ride tall horses are the commanders of the troops. War horses are often a symbol of power and status in this era!

It was precisely because he knew the love of horses for these subordinates that Hu Biao also considered whether to leave these captured war horses behind. As long as enough food is given, having such a group of war horses will still help the task force.

As for the formation of cavalry, Hu Biao did not think about it. In his opinion, there were many inconveniences in transportation these years, and the speed of walking was undoubtedly faster than that of cavalry. With these war horses, a quick reaction squad can also be formed.

From Qin Zhen and the New Fourth Army, Hu Biao already knew the news of the fall of Luzhou (Hefei). In fact, most of the counties in Anhui Province have now been captured by the Japanese army. The Japanese troops who entered Anhui Province to fight did not do much burning, killing and looting.

This time it was decided to attack Chucheng, more in the hope of containing the Japanese army in Luzhou. In order to ensure the security of the occupied area, the Japanese army will certainly not abandon such a strategic location as Chucheng. It is also inevitable to send troops back for help.

Most importantly, as the news of the New Fourth Army's capture of Chucheng spreads, the Japanese troops stationed in Anhui Province are bound to be more vigilant. In this case, their attention will gradually shift to the encirclement and suppression of the New Fourth Army's armed forces behind enemy lines.

In that way, Hu Biao, who entered Anhui Province to carry out sabotage behind enemy lines, could lead the task force to ignite more flames of resistance in the name of the New Fourth Army. Occasionally grab the supply convoy of the little devils, and I believe that the Japanese army will also think that the New Fourth Army did it.

And Hu Biao still believes that the New Fourth Army will not refuse this kind of 'dirty'. Unless the Japanese can find out about the existence of the task force, it will be extremely time-consuming and laborious to encircle or find the task force.

When the main force of the fourth detachment of the New Fourth Army finally arrived outside Chucheng in a hurry, looking at Qin Zhen and his party who came to greet him, the main force commander was also very curious: "Why is the city so quiet?" The battle is over? ”

"Report to the chief, the battle was over more than an hour ago. Even Captain Hu's team had been gone for almost an hour. Chief, if you don't go into the city, I'll report to you when you get to the city. ”

"What? Those people left so quickly? How many troops are there in this Chucheng? ”

"There is a standing Japanese army brigade and a puppet army brigade, except for the half of the brigade that was wiped out by them before the siege, Chucheng tonight includes the puppet army brigade, and there are nearly a thousand troops. Surprisingly, from the siege to the end, it took less than an hour! ”

"How is this possible? Those guys, are they really that strong? ”

"Chief, if I hadn't seen their combat level with my own eyes, I would have found it hard to believe that there would be such a strong force! Although the number of this unit is not large, its equipment and combat quality are extremely high, and it is not an ordinary unit! ”

"What a pity! If we had arrived earlier, we might have had a chance to see what kind of force this was! ”

The main regiment that was ordered to rush to the aid of Chucheng was even though there were thousands of troops. The main commander who can lead the team still does not dare to attack Chucheng, a city that is heavily defended by the Japanese army. Siege warfare and ambush warfare are two completely different ways of fighting.

Even if I don't believe it in my heart, there are still such strong troops in these years. But when they really led their troops into the city, they couldn't believe it or not, looking at the hundreds of puppet soldiers who were captured, and the hundreds of Japanese corpses piled up in the barracks.

Thinking that the order to rush to aid was directly forwarded by the military headquarters, the commander of the main force said thoughtfully: "It seems that this army is really not simple!" Otherwise, it would not have alarmed the commanders, who personally gave us orders. Order the troops, start counting the supplies! ”

"Chief, because the cars have been driven away by them, we have collected a large number of oxen and wagons from the city. As for the supplies, they were piled up in a few warehouses that were protected by troops. It's a bit of a lot, so we have to hurry! ”

"I really didn't expect that we came so far to Chucheng tonight, and we came to work as coolies!"

"Commander, after looking at the materials in the warehouse, you won't feel wronged!"

The chief of staff who came with him had already inspected the warehouses guarded by partisans in advance. Knowing that the boxes of brand-new rifles, and even artillery and shells belonged to them, the chief of staff of the main regiment was also excited.

With this batch of equipment, the waist pole of their main regiment can be hardened a few points. Even, a large amount of weapons and ammunition seized this time can support part of the detachment. Coupled with the seized daily necessities, the fourth detachment did not have to worry about the supplies for a short time.

Looking at the list of materials handed over by the chief of staff, the commander of the main regiment was also surprised: "Even the Type 92 infantry guns have four!" Such a good thing, and those guys didn't take it with them? Captain Qin, didn't they leave with loot? ”

"I brought a batch of refined grain flour and meat stuffing! In addition, the money and property seized were all packed up and taken away by them. In fact, they themselves were well armed, and many fighters were armed with two guns. ”

"Twin spearmen?"

"I paid special attention to it earlier, and many of their fighters are equipped with box cannons. Some fighters, in addition to being armed with a machine gun, had a rifle on spare. The number of light and heavy machine guns is even more terrifying! ”

"How many of them are there?"

"Not so clear! I know of no less than three hundred. There are also some people who don't show up much from beginning to end. When they attacked earlier, we did not participate in the attack, but stayed at the city gate to be on guard. ”

After listening to Qin Zhen's account, the commander of the main force who was ordered to rush to reinforcements also knew that when he returned to the station, he had to report this matter to his superiors. But he was even more curious, what was the intention of this army to come to Anhui Province?

Fortunately, the commander of the main force understood that the most important thing at this moment was not to care about the reality of Hu Biao's troops, but to transfer the materials in the city as soon as possible. If you really wait until dawn to transport supplies from the city into the mountains, I am afraid it will be more troublesome.

In addition to ordering the troops to do their best to transport supplies, the hundreds of puppet soldiers who were captured soon became the best transport coolies. As for the matter of educating these puppet soldiers, it is not too late to carry out it when they return to the base area, and it is important to empty Chucheng first.

Taking advantage of the fact that the people in the city did not dare to go out at will, the main force regiment also began to post anti-Japanese slogans in the city, and at the same time raised the anti-Japanese signboard of the New Fourth Army. Even if they can't control Chucheng, this time they will make the little devil bleed heavily.

The garrison troops that were killed by the task force, the little devils had to be drawn from other places. Once there is a shortage of troops in other counties, the New Fourth Army can also take the opportunity to attack the weakness of the little devils.

In addition, if the little devils want to maintain stability in the occupied areas, they must also raise more supplies. If the ground is scraped too much, I believe it will also arouse more people's hearts of resistance. As far as the New Fourth Army is concerned, this is also a good thing to see it come to fruition.

Although they knew that the little devil would inevitably retaliate, the commanders and fighters of the New Fourth Army knew it in their hearts. Even if they don't fight Chucheng, how can the little devils let them easily gain a foothold behind enemy lines. On the side of the couch, how can you allow others to sleep soundly, this little devil also understands!
