At this time, the large units of the New Fourth Army that participated in the Battle of Wuhan had already returned to their original stations, and a certain division immediately convened an emergency meeting after receiving Xiao Yongwen's telegram.

"This Blood Wolf Guerrilla Brigade has heard of it before, but I didn't expect that they wouldn't retreat in the face of the devils of the two divisions!"

"Chief! Let's go and support them! ”

"The little devil sent two divisions, and there is also air support, there was no problem in the past, but we don't know what Qi Rui thinks now, and we need to know what kind of team this blood wolf guerrilla brigade is!"

"It's not easy to know this, just send a telegram and ask Yan'an!"

"That's right! Send a telegram to ask! ”

After a while, Yan'an called back to mean that no matter what kind of team the Blood Wolf Guerrilla Brigade is, as long as it is anti-Japanese, it must be helped, and Yan'an means that it must be supported, but it is best to contact Qi Rui through the independent regiment before supporting.

Seeing that Yan'an's attitude was so clear, the chief immediately issued an order: "You go first to assemble the team and set off immediately, and we will arrive later!" ”

At this moment, the Huangyaling Independent Regiment is still stubbornly holding its position, but they still have less than half of their troops left, and Qi Rui has called them three times to urge them to retreat.

Although Shang Wenhua and the independent regiment sacrificed a lot, this was also the most enjoyable battle they fought, because Tang Yu and Lei Zheng left most of the ammunition for them when they left, and the ammunition is still sufficient.

Qi Rui's three urgings, Shang Wenhua calculated the time, and the wounded had now gone away, so he decided to repel the devil and retreat as soon as he charged.

Xiao Yongwen received a telegram from the division headquarters, asking him to contact Qi Rui, saying that a reorganized division of the New Fourth Army was rushing to Huangshan and asked how to cooperate with the operation.

After receiving the telegram, Qi Rui immediately called back, asking the New Fourth Army to go to the south side of the Xihai Grand Canyon to stand by, and told him not to exchange fire even if he saw the devils, and try not to let the devils know about their existence.

Qi Rui is very happy, this New Fourth Army can be said to have come too timely, this is a miracle army.

Shimizu Xizhong led the 119 Brigade to defend behind him, and Qi Rui appeared again with cavalry and seven armored vehicles, this time it was the same, the cavalry and the vehicle-mounted heavy machine guns just came to attack and ran.

Qing Shui Xizhong didn't dare to chase, so he let the team stay put, just half an hour after Qi Rui left with the cavalry, news came from Niu Daoman's side that Huangya Ridge had been captured, and when they saw hundreds of corpses in the captured position wearing the military uniforms of the New Fourth Army, they were more sure that Qi Rui's main force was behind the team.

So Ushijima Manrang 47 Wing, Fujiwara Wing, and Murata Wing repaired in place, and he came to the back with the 116th Brigade of the 130th Division.

"Commander of the Clear Water Division! Later, if Qi Rui comes again, you will chase him out, but don't chase too far! Ushijima said,

"The commander of the Ushijima Brigade has a way?"

"Hmmm! After you chase out, I will take the 130 Brigade to the front to ambush, and then you withdraw, Qi Rui may come over, and then I will take the 130 Brigade to block their way! Let's destroy their cavalry first! ”

"Oh! It's a good idea! But now it's getting dark! Will they still come? ”

"Come or not, we're going to do it! Because our purpose is to destroy Qi Rui's wolf-headed army! Ushijima finished speaking and left,

Shimizu Kishige and the 119 Brigade continued to wait in place, but they waited until it was dark, and Qi Rui never appeared again.

Shang Wenhua and the remaining more than 600 soldiers of the New Fourth Army did not go to the Xihai Grand Canyon, but went to the south side of the Xihai Grand Canyon to meet a division of the New Fourth Army according to the instructions of his superiors.

At this time, Shang Wenhua had a dirty face, and he couldn't see what he looked like at all.

"Chief!" Shang Wenhua came to the temporary headquarters to report,

"Captain Shang! Tell us about the situation! The division commander asked the guard to hand the kettle to Shang Wenhua and said,

Shang Wenhua drank two sips of water before saying, "Chief! This time, the devils came to two divisions in order to exterminate Qi Rui's Blood Wolf Guerrilla Brigade! ”

"Then why did Qi Rui have a hard time with the devil?" Hearing that there were still more than 600 people left in the independent regiment, the political commissar asked puzzledly,

"Qi Rui said that this battle will directly affect the overall combat layout of the region in the future, so it must be fought!"

"Isn't he fooling around! There are more than 2,000 people in your independent regiment, and now there are more than 600 left! I heard that the losses of the Blood Wolf Guerrilla Brigade are not small! The commissar complained,

"Chiefs! Do you know how many devils we've eliminated? Shang Wenhua didn't realize that Qi Rui was messing around and asked,

"How much?"

"So far, we've probably wiped out almost two of the Devil Wing!"

"What! Two wings! Shang Wenhua, how can you learn to brag! A regimental instructor said in disbelief,

"Instructor! I'm not bragging! If I hadn't been fully prepared before, I would have destroyed more devils now! Shang Wenhua said regretfully,

"Let's talk to us from the beginning!" The division leader said with great interest,

Not only the division commander, but also the other commanders were equally curious, just one day of fighting wiped out two wings of the devils, and among them there was also the sixth division.

Shang Wenhua described the details of the previous battle, and everyone present was dumbfounded.

"This Captain Qi is really amazing!"

"It's not just him, it's amazing!" Shang Wenhua said,

"Then what is Qi Rui going to do next, did he tell you?" The division commander asked,

"That's it! Now that the devil's attention has shifted to Qi Rui's side, they won't let the devil have a good time tonight! He told us to have a good rest tonight, and we will be notified of any battle plans tomorrow. ”

"They want to attack the devil at night, how can this devil possibly do it!" The commissar said,

"Qi Rui has a lot of ideas, he must have his own way!" Shang Wenhua said,

"Then let's see what strange tricks Qi Rui can play tonight!" The division leader said with great anticipation,

"That's right! Qi Rui asked me to take you to get weapons and ammunition! Shang Wenhua said,

"Weapons and ammunition!?"

"That's right! Qi Rui hid a lot of weapons and ammunition in the mountains, he said that there will be a fierce battle tomorrow, he knows that we are short of ammunition, so let me take you to get some, in order to ensure that tomorrow's battle is maximized to eliminate the devil! ”

"I didn't expect this Captain Qi to be quite sensible!"

"Chief! I always felt like he was one of our own! ”

"Isn't it possible to fight such a team by yourself?"

It was completely dark, and today's night was almost out of sight, but Qi Rui liked this kind of night very much.

"Captain! Everything that's ready is ready! ”

"Good! Let's go! "Qi Rui has already given combat missions to each team, and fighting at night is his forte.
