The Japanese division, which was assembled in Lu'an, received a telegram from Shucheng, which further affirmed the previous judgment. There was an elite anti-war force that was roaming the Japanese-occupied areas wantonly, attacking the garrisons stationed in the cities.

To the shock of the Japanese division, not long after receiving the telegram from the infantry brigade, the telecommunications officer in charge of liaison informed the radio station that it had lost contact. The generals, who were in a meeting to prepare for the deployment of the battle plan, also realized that the situation was troublesome.

Thinking of the cavalry wing that had just been sent to Shucheng for reinforcements, the commander of the Japanese division was very worried: "Send a report to the cavalry wing immediately and let it act cautiously." After entering Shucheng, be sure to find out the movement of the main force of the Chinese army.

At the same time, an infantry brigade was dispatched to Shucheng, and the main force of the Ruozhi Army entered Huoshan and joined the cavalry wing to launch an attack. In the shortest possible time, we must completely annihilate the main force of the Chinese army that fled to Huoshan and avenge the warriors! ”

"Hey!"

Realizing that the cavalry wing that had just been dispatched was most likely no match for that elite unit, the commander of the Japanese division immediately adjusted its combat deployment. It was decided to let the cavalry wing take the lead in reconnaissance first, and then send infantry brigades to rush to reinforcements.

Earlier, the cavalry wing set out, carrying only a small number of mortars. Moreover, most of the wings were cavalry, and the rest of the infantry rushed to Shucheng by car. In the event of an ambush, the division commander was also worried that reinforcements would not arrive.

For the sake of safety, the commander of the Japanese division decided to transfer the elite of the division and let the cavalry wing be responsible for carrying out pre-war reconnaissance and raiding, find out the details of this elite unit, and then launch a full-scale attack according to the situation.

In the opinion of the commander of the Japanese division, an infantry brigade plus a cavalry wing was sent, which also carried artillery units. Gathering tens of thousands of combat troops, the commander of the Japanese division felt that he was already using a knife to kill chickens!

Regarding the adjustment of the Japanese army's operational deployment, Hu Biao, who was in the border area between Shucheng and Huoshan, naturally had no way of knowing. Looking at the battlefield that had been cleaned up, Hu Biao also ordered the troops to rest on the spot, and at the same time asked Qin Tianyou to prepare a few vehicles.

Load all the weapons and ammunition that have just been seized into the car. On these cars, there are also a lot of supplies. Hu Biao planned to send this batch of materials to Huoshan overnight and hand them over to the rest of the 26th Group Army that had already been contacted.

Not long after, the cavalry scout in charge of the guard quickly returned: "Detachment leader, Squadron Xu is back!" ”

"Okay, I got it! Lao Qin, come with me! ”

"Yes, detachment leader!"

With Qin Tianyou and the guard platoon under personal protection, Hu Biao soon came to the temporary resting place of the guard regiment. Seeing Hu Biao and his entourage suddenly appearing, Lin Jian, who came with Xu Sandao, also stepped forward and saluted respectfully.

"Hello sir! Lin Jian, the commander of the guard regiment of the 26th Group Army, was ordered to report! ”

"Captain Lin, hard work! This way, it's still too peaceful, right? ”

"Thank you, sir, for your concern! With the help of Brother Xu, I didn't encounter any difficulties! ”

"Brothers have worked hard all the way! I guess you haven't eaten all the way, right? Captain Lin, I asked people to prepare some broth and steamed buns, and let the brothers have a meal on the side of the road later, right? ”

"The chief is serious!"

Knowing that Hu Biao had prepared food for them, many officers and soldiers of the guard regiment who had been ordered to rush here were very surprised. Looking at the broth and white-flour steamed buns that were lifted from the car, the officers and men of the guard regiment who came on the march in a hurry also felt that they were about to drool.

Fortunately, Lin Jian didn't say much, and directly ordered the troops to line up to eat and start eating. Looking at the meat in the bowl and the white-flour steamed buns they received, many officers and soldiers of the guard regiment said: "The food of these guys is really good!" ”

The combat team member in charge of making soup said with a smile: "This food is nothing!" If it weren't for the lack of time, we would have made some meat buns! These broths are all boiled with captured little devil meat irrigation, and white noodles are also seized. ”

The combat team member who replied with a smile really didn't say anything false. In terms of food, they are indeed much stronger than other anti-Japanese war units. Ordinary anti-Japanese war troops, many times, have two meals a day, and some even have a thin meal.

On the other hand, in the task force, three meals a day are a must. When it comes to night battles, you have to have a supper. As for meat, if you can't procure it, then fill your head with the meat of the seized little devils. In short, oil meat is also essential!

Taking advantage of the meal, Hu Biao also said directly: "Commander Lin, on the way here, you should have received a telegram from your military seat, right?" What do you think? Are you interested in fighting with the little devils here in Shucheng with me? ”

"Sir! When I arrived, the military seat had already sent me a telegram telling me to obey the orders of my commander. It's just that I want to ask, how many troops did the commander bring over? How many troops will the little devil send next? ”

"I really don't know how many troops the little devil will send for the time being, I guess it will take a while. But one thing can be said, just an hour before you arrived, I had just led my troops to annihilate a large group of little devils.

Later, you and I will go back to your military headquarters, and I have prepared a few truckloads of supplies, which will be delivered to your military seat at night. If I'm not mistaken, you retreat to Huoshan, presumably there is a shortage of supplies, weapons and ammunition, right? ”

As soon as these words came out, Lin Jian was also shocked and said, "Sir, you just fought with the little devil?" ”

"What? What can I deceive you about such a thing? If you don't believe me, take someone with me over there after dinner. There are still a lot of corpses of little devils on the road, you can see it with your own eyes.

In addition, the little devils who surrounded and annihilated last night, the little devils stationed in Shucheng earlier have basically been wiped out by me. As for the little devil's reinforcements, even if they support at full speed, it is estimated that they will not be able to reach Shucheng until dawn.

Originally, I wanted to pull the troops to Huoshan to rest and recuperate, but as far as the current situation is concerned, it is estimated that the little devil will not let me go easily. If I go to Huoshan, the little devils will inevitably gather heavy troops to attack your defense area.

If we set the battlefield on the side of Shucheng, we can have a good deal with the little devils. If the little devil transfers the main force of the division to the side of Shucheng, I will contact the defenders of Lu'an and launch a counterattack against the little devil.

Join your troops, and let's have a good fight with the main force of the little devils. Blindly defending, you will only be beaten passively. Earlier, I had already captured Luzhou City and Chucheng occupied by the little devils, and the little devils' supplies could not be transported in a short time.

As long as we can hold on for a few more days, we can contain the little devils. When the little devils fall into a shortage of supplies, it is time for us to fight back on all fronts. Of course, there are accidents in everything, and there are bound to be risks in war, so it depends on whether you dare to gamble! ”

Faced with Hu Biao's battle plan, Lin Jian said with a little emotion and embarrassment: "Sir, fighting devils in the War of Resistance is the responsibility of a humble duty. But how to fight, the humble position also needs to obey the orders of the military seat. ”

"It doesn't matter! Later, I'll bother you to lead the way, and take me to your military headquarters. For the specific combat plan, I will discuss it with your army! ”

"Yes, sir!"

Passive beatings are naturally aggrieved, but for many anti-Japanese war troops, they are not opponents of the Japanese army with strong city fortifications. Without the protection of the city defense and the field battle, how could they be the opponents of the Japanese army?

After eating, Hu Biao summoned Xu Sandao and Qin Tianyou and asked them to lead the prisoner of war camp and return to the vicinity of Shucheng. The task force and the guard regiment were stationed in Shucheng overnight to pay close attention to the movements of the surrounding Japanese troops.

Not surprisingly, there must still be a certain number of little devils in Shucheng, let the task force return and attack Shucheng again, I believe that the little devils will also be caught off guard. As for Hu Biao's words, he will also strive to return overnight and deploy the next battle plan.

After listening to Hu Biao's combat instructions, Xu Sandao was a little worried: "Detachment leader, why don't you let me go with Commander Lin to deliver something?" ”

"You're not good enough! If you want Commander Xu to cooperate with our battle plan, I can only show sincerity if I personally go out to talk. Don't worry, there is a guard platoon with me, and I believe that nothing will happen. What you have to do is to guard Shucheng! ”

"Yes, detachment leader!"

Knowing that they were going to return to Shucheng, the officers and men of the prisoner of war camp were somewhat puzzled. But seeing the thousands of extra troops, they still feel a lot more confident. On the way to Shucheng, troops successively carried supplies into the mountains.

According to Hu Biao's operational instructions, all the prisoner of war camps carried supplies into the mountains near the highway to rest and recuperate. The troops on the surface were handed over to the task force and Lin Jian's guard regiment. The battle plan later depends on the deployment of the little devils.

Lin Jian, who followed Hu Biao in a car and returned to Huoshan overnight, although he was worried that Hu Biao would annex his guard regiment. But he felt that since Hu Biao dared to take such a few people to Huoshan, he would naturally not do anything to annex the guard regiment.

What's more, the troops under Hu Biao's command seem to be more elite than the guard regiment under his command. The most important thing is that Lin Jian, who had seen the ambush battlefield before, found it hard to believe that Hu Biao had completely annihilated an infantry brigade so quickly.

If their guard regiment were to fight this ambush battle, it is estimated that it would not be possible to be completely annihilated so quickly. It can also be seen from this that Hu Biao's subordinates are all elites. But what made Lin Jian curious was that he did not see the traces of a large number of troops.

The only thing that can be confirmed is that there were quite a few troops involved in this ambush battle. This also means that when he led his troops to arrive, Hu Biao had already hidden some troops. How many troops there are left, it is estimated that only Hu Biao himself knows.

In fact, the troops that Lin Jian saw were Hu Biao's real descendants. Those who deliberately hid were the prisoner of war camps rescued by Hu Biao. But Lin Jian did not know the combat effectiveness of the prisoner of war camp, and there was a big gap between it and the task force.

It is also very necessary to put some smoke bombs. Only by letting Xu Yuanquan know that there is a advantage to take advantage of, will they join the next battle to encircle and suppress the main force of the little devils. Otherwise, Xu Yuanquan would definitely not send troops easily.

only took Lin Jian back, but left the troops of the guard regiment, more because Hu Biao felt that the combat effectiveness of this guard regiment should be good. When you arrive in Shucheng, add some weapons and ammunition to the guard regiment, its combat effectiveness should be stronger than that of the prisoner of war camp!
