Chapter 451: That's so kind!
When Xu Sandao led the reconnaissance detachment, he successfully joined up with the 51st Army raiding troops who went out of the city to attack the Japanese army. Hu Biao, who marched into Lu'an by car, also followed the combat troops who marched forcibly overnight and safely stationed in a big mountain in Lu'an.
After receiving the telegram from the reconnaissance detachment, Hu Biao also breathed a sigh of relief. The reconnaissance detachment was immediately instructed to cooperate with the reconnaissance units of the 51 st Army to quickly find out where the headquarters of the Japanese division and regiment was located and find out the situation of the Japanese army's defense.
Considering that the two armies quickly and closely coordinated and communicated with each other, Hu Biao ordered again: "Xiao Wu, send a report to the reconnaissance detachment, and let Lao Xu represent the detachment to go to Lu'an City to meet with General Yu, and send the two truckloads of weapons and ammunition together."
At the same time, let Lao Xu tell General Yu that the information about our unit's arrival in Lu'an should be kept secret as much as possible. If you really want the little devils to know that we have arrived, it is estimated that they are likely to retreat in advance, and it will be difficult to stop them at that time! ”
"Yes, detachment leader!"
It stands to reason that forcing the remaining troops of the Japanese division to withdraw from Lu'an on their own will undoubtedly reduce the pressure on Xuezhong. But in Hu Biao's view, this is not a long-term solution. When the Japanese reinforcements arrive, the little devils are bound to make a comeback.
Only by taking the opportunity to inflict heavy losses on the 13th Division of the Japanese Army and forcing it to return to the rear to rest and recuperate, can we buy more time for the 51st Army. Even if the Japanese army makes a comeback, at least there is no need to worry about the threat of the 13th Division.
Perhaps for many commanders of the anti-Japanese war forces at this moment, most of them have the mentality of 'not seeking merit, but seeking no fault'. As long as they can complete the tasks explained above, they really don't care how many devils they can destroy.
It is precisely because of this consideration and worry that Hu Biao will specially remind Yu Xuezhong, hoping that he can stand on the position of the overall situation of the Anti-Japanese War, cooperate with himself as much as possible, and further weaken the strength of the 13th Division of the Japanese Army.
Even if the 13th Division of the Japanese Army cannot be completely annihilated in the end, it can eliminate some of the elite troops of the division. The 13th Division of the Japanese Army, which fled back to the rear to rebuild, wanted to restore its existing combat effectiveness, but it was not very possible.
With the continuous expansion and elongation of the Japanese front, coupled with the increasing casualties in the course of the battle, the Japanese army has begun a new round of recruitment and expansion plans. These newly replenished units are certainly inferior in combat effectiveness to those of veterans.
Under the advantages of the other, Hu Biao believes that the balance of war will also slowly tilt to the side of the anti-Japanese war troops. Hu Biao, who knows this very well, will do everything possible in the process of every battle, hoping to eliminate more little devils.
After receiving the telegram from Hu Biao, looking at the company commander of the 51st Army who was organizing people to pick up guns and ammunition, Xu Sandao also said directly: "Company Commander Wu, pack up these weapons and ammunition, wait for us to put them in the car, and I will go into the city with you later!" ”
"You have a car?"
"Isn't it weird? Come on! I just received a telegram from our commander that I need to go into the city to meet with you, General Yu. In addition, our commander also gave me two truckloads of weapons and ammunition for you. Hurry up and get ready! ”
As soon as these words came out, Wu Xinyi, who was responsible for harassing Shilipu, was naturally full of joy. But in my heart, there is still a lot of curiosity, and I want to know where these elite troops wearing ordinary people's clothes are.
It's a pity that he wants to get words out of Xu Sandao's mouth, and it is almost impossible. With the appearance of two cars, Xu Sandao called the combat platoon commander beside him, and after some explanation, he only took one combat squad to Lu'an City.
The rest of the scouts, carrying some boxes and weapons and ammunition, quickly disappeared into the night. Seeing this scene, Wu Xinyi and the soldiers under his command were also very curious about what these people would do next?
Although they couldn't guess where Xu Sandao and his party came from, from the weapons of the reconnaissance detachment, Wu Xinyi and others also knew that this unit should have a lot of people. Under normal circumstances, the troops that can be equipped with submachine guns are the elite of the army.
What made Wu Xinyi and others the most envious was Xu Sandao and his party, which were almost light on the Japanese military equipment. On the other hand, in the 51st Army, many troops are still using Hanyang-made. As for the official rifles, most of them are currently equipped with descendant troops.
As a matter of fact, as far as the troops currently participating in the War of Resistance are concerned, there are not many units that can truly achieve unified equipment. Similar to the 51st Army, which was born in the Northeast Army, the weapons equipped by its troops also looked a little messy and chaotic.
Even so, sometimes if you want to expand your troops, you will have to abandon the plan because of the shortage of weapons. Troops like the task force, which have a variety of standard equipment, are unique among the entire anti-Japanese war forces.
If the task force wants to disguise itself as a Japanese army, then the task force will be equipped with all Japanese standard equipment. If you want to disguise yourself as the elite of the national army, you will be equipped with weapons that only the descendants of the national army are qualified to equip.
Throwing all the weapons and ammunition cleaned up from the battlefield onto the car full of guns and ammunition, Wu Xinyi was also very curious: "Sir, how many guns are there in this car?" ”
"Not much! Only a thousand rifles! By the way, if you like it, the rifle captured this time can be replaced. If you are afraid of your commander's punishment, I will tell General Yu then, there should be no problem! ”
It is clear that most of these non-descendant combat units of the national army like weapons that only little devils or descendants are qualified to equip. It's a rare opportunity to meet, Xu Sandao doesn't mind, and gives Wu Xinyi and these people a little sweetness.
"Thank you, sir! If we could all change into the equipment of the little devils, we wouldn't suffer such a big loss tonight! ”
"No matter how good the weapon is, it will be for us after all. Mastering and familiarizing yourself with the weapon's performance is the most important thing. You can also take the few crooked handles that were seized earlier. Anyway, we have prepared a lot of them in the car! ”
In the past, Xu Sandao would be like Wu Xinyi and others, proud of capturing a Japanese weapon. But since following Hu Biao, Xu Sandao really doesn't look down on the little devil's weapons and equipment, and he doesn't think it's a big deal.
Although the little devil's 38 big cover is good, the power of the Chinese formal rifle equipped by the elite of the national army is actually not bad. If you really want to talk about power, the lethality of the Chinese formal rifle is actually more powerful than the rifle of the little devil.
With Xu Sandao's permission and promise, Wu Xinyi and the officers and soldiers under his command put on new equipment with a beaming face. As for the weapons they had replaced, they were all thrown into the car, and the group followed the car to Lu'an City with happy faces.
In order to avoid accidents on the way to the convoy, after Hu Biao sent a telegram to Xu Sandao, he sent a telegram to Yu Xuezhong, who was stationed in Lu'an City, informing him to send his henchmen to carry two truckloads of weapons and prepare to enter the city to meet with him.
Yu Xuezhong, who received the telegram, was very surprised and said: "These guys, come so fast!" At present, most of the roads into the city are blocked by little devils. Will the vehicle he sent be able to reach our defense zone safely? ”
"Junzao, since he said so in the telegram, I think I should have some confidence! Besides, our troops, which are attacking the little devils, should be able to divert the attention of the little devils. If they have real skills, it won't be difficult to drive the car over! ”
In view of Hu Biao's own requirements, and Yu Xuezhong also understands the importance of confidentiality. Knowing that the officers of the task force are all subordinates of Yu Xuezhong's descendants without exception, there should be no need to worry about leaking secrets.
Yu Xuezhong, who received the telegram, quickly said: "Send someone to the south of the city to have a look!" Let me know if a convoy arrives! ”
"Yes, Throne!"
As a result, it didn't take long for an officer to trot to the command headquarters and said, "Seat, the car is coming!" ”
"So fast! Got into town? ”
"Nope! For safety, let them stay at the gates for the time being. By the way, a reconnaissance company we sent to Shilipu happened to run into them. Listening to the company commander's report, the troops deployed by the little devils in Shilipu have been completely wiped out by them! ”
Hearing the news, Yu Xuezhong also smiled and said, "Not bad! Go, people come from afar, and don't be slow to greet them with gifts! ”
Xu Sandao, who was blocked outside the city, didn't feel anything wrong. In fact, he didn't want to stay in the city for long, and after conveying Hu Biao's combat instructions, he would take people away. The reconnaissance detachment is still waiting for him to return to command!
Looking at Yu Xuezhong, who was walking quickly out of the city, and Wu Xinyi, the commander of the reconnaissance company who stayed by Xu Sandao's side, he was also very surprised: "Chief Xu, our military seat is here!" Walking in the front is our military seat! ”
In the face of Wu Xinyi's surprise and introduction, Xu Sandao did not seem to be excited. After following Hu Biao for a long time, their vision is different from that of ordinary officers. The generals of the national army, in their opinion, have nothing to be excited about.
In the final analysis, there are many little devil generals who died in their hands. And how many of these generals of the National Army in the War of Resistance in front of them have really killed the Japanese army? You must know that the body of the major general's brigade commander was handed over to the 26th Group Army for disposal.
Just such a corpse of a major general was sent to the theater command, and I believe that those commanding generals will be full of joy. Having such a corpse will also add a lot of points to the 26th Group Army and Xu Yuanquan, so that they can be valued by the war zone.
"General Yu, hello! I am Xu Sandao of the task force, and I am here to escort a batch of weapons on the orders of our commander! ”
"Hello! Hello! Great work! Didn't you Sir Hu come? ”
"The commander is still behind, and for security reasons, our main force cannot show up for the time being. This batch of weapons and ammunition and cars, please trouble the general to receive them later. Mission accomplished, I still need to return to the troops! ”
After saying this, Xu Sandao took out a handwritten list from his pocket, handed it to Yu Xuezhong and continued: "This is the list of weapons in the car, because they are all captured, so the bullets are a little less, I hope the general will forgive me!" ”
"That's so kind! Such a great gift, well deserved! ”
"The general's words are serious! Our commander also said earlier that your ministry has made many meritorious contributions in the southern and northern wars. This weapon is a welcome gift. If the next battle plan goes well, we will only select and replenish the weapons and equipment captured on the battlefield! ”
The meaning of these words undoubtedly told Yu Xuezhong very clearly that if the remaining remnants of the Japanese division and regiment could be defeated, then with this victory, the 51st Army might be able to complete a redress. This is also very attractive to the officers and men of the 51st Officer!
