Due to the abnormal behavior of the Japanese army, Bai Fei was alerted. When the two sides held each other until about 10 o'clock in the evening, Li Shuyang suddenly took a telegram and hurriedly found Bai Fei.

"Tuanza, the big thing is not good, the 101st Division of the Japanese army in the south of the Yangtze River has broken through the ** defense line of the Yaodu River two hours ago, and now it has landed on the north bank from Shen Chong and other places, and has gone straight to Qianshan and other places along Wuchang Lake."

Bai Fei was shocked and scolded: "These stupid pigs, why haven't we received any news at all? ”

Li Shuyang said: "It is reported that the Japanese army attacked at night, and launched lightning tactics as soon as it came up, using artillery and tanks to bombard the headquarters of the defenders, and it is estimated that the radio station and other objects of communication were blown up. This early warning telegram was sent to us by Ye Ting, commander of the New Fourth Army. ”

Bai Fei frowned and pondered for a moment, but did not speak.

Li Shuyang said: "It is said that there are many ordinary people in Qianshan now, although we forced all the people in Huaining, Anqing and other places to move westward, but there are still a considerable number of people staying in Qianshan and other places, if the Japanese army is allowed to attack Qianshan, I am worried that the people will suffer..."

Bai Fei suddenly asked, "Where is Commander Ye's troops now?" ”

Li Shuyang said: "They are in the area of Pingshan, Huanglong, and Qianshan. Although the New Fourth Army has a large number of people, it is not as equipped as the devils, and I am afraid that it will not be able to hold the hidden mountain. ”

Bai Fei nodded and said, "I understand, I said that the frequency of shelling of the little devil today is less, and I really didn't have any good intentions." ”

As he spoke, Bai Fei said to several heralds beside him: "Immediately notify Xu Changsheng, Wu Dazhong, and Li Hu to come to the meeting quickly." ”

"Yes, Tuanza!" The herald immediately ran to call for someone.

After a while, the people arrived. Bai Fei said to them straight to the point: "Now there is an emergency, the 101st Division of the Japanese Army has crossed the Yangtze River from the south of the Yangtze River, and is now marching along Wuchang Lake to Qianshan. ”

Xu Changsheng was surprised: "Wouldn't it be more dangerous for us in this way, if the Japanese army sent troops from the west, then Anqing and Huaining would really be surrounded and killed." ”

Bai Fei said: "That's right. If the Japanese army is allowed to capture the Qianshan, in addition to the hundreds of thousands of ordinary people in the Qianshan will suffer, our retreat will also be cut off. Therefore, I decided to lead the 3rd battalion and artillery battalion led by Xu Changsheng to Qianshan to garrison the defense. ”

Wu Dazhong said: "Tuanzuo, our artillery battalion has been withdrawn from here, so what should Anqing do?" Isn't it just passively beaten? ”

Bai Fei said: "Judging from the current situation, the Japanese army is determined to kill us. Therefore, this Anqing City will be lost sooner or later. ”

Xu Changsheng said: "In this case, we might as well retreat to Qianshan now." Why do you want to stay here and take risks? ”

Bai Fei said: "I promised to stay here for half a month, but now the time has not yet come, I can't leave." The most important thing is that the current situation is not optimistic, if we all withdraw, the Japanese army will inevitably pursue at the tail end, and when the 101st Division in the west receives information, it will inevitably divert to the east, and once we are caught by the Japanese army on the left and right, there will be no room for maneuver at all. ”

Xu Changsheng said again: "It's better for me to lead the 3rd battalion to stay and drag the devils, and you and the others will go first." ”

Bai Fei refused: "Don't fight, just decide, you go and prepare, set off in half an hour, don't attract the attention of the Sichuan army brothers." ”

"Yes!"

After Wu Dazhong finished speaking, he went out to prepare.

Xu Changsheng had just walked to the door, but was stopped by Bai Fei.

Bai Fei said: "I have something to ask you." He asked Li Hu again: "How many weapons were captured by the Japanese army before?" ”

Li Hu said: "There are more than 1,000 guns of various types, more than 100 mortars, etc., and a lot of ammunition, I haven't counted them." ”

Bai Fei said: "Very good. Brother Changsheng, you should go to the Qianshan area, find a way to contact Commander Ye, and give them all these weapons and ammunition that captured the devils, which can be regarded as a welcome gift. ”

Xu Changsheng said: "There is no problem. It's just that I've heard that some of them have prejudices against us... Even if we send these weapons, I am afraid that they may not help us. ”

Bai Fei said: "Commander Ye is a person who understands righteousness, even if we don't give anything, they will try their best to help." Besides, there are so many people in Qianshan, they will not sit idly by. Besides, we don't have to ask them to do anything when we send things, you can rest assured, I will let Yang Sen's troops withdraw to the hidden mountains later to give you some more help. ”

Half an hour later, Xu Changsheng and Wu Dazhong set off with their troops.

Then Bai Fei connected Wang Weiguo's phone again. On the phone, Bai Fei explained the situation.

Wang Weiguo frowned when he heard this, and said, "In this way, Huaining and Anqing can't hold it. Once the 101st Division attacks Qianshan unfavorably, it will inevitably turn east and encircle Huaining and Anqing. ”

Bai Fei said: "That's right. So I want you to transfer first with the troops and the Sichuan army. ”

Wang Weiguo said: "What about you? ”

"Brother Shuyang and I led the 2nd Battalion and the Special Operations Team to stay in Anqing temporarily and hold off the Japanese army..." The tunnels before Anqing and Huaining have been repaired for a long time, and after you leave, the Japanese army will inevitably concentrate their forces to encircle Anqing, and it will be very convenient for us to escape from the tunnels at that time. ”

Wang Weiguo said: "Okay, since I already have a plan, then I won't be hypocritical." ”

Bai Fei said: "Then it's decided." At 3 o'clock in the morning, you tell Yang Sen about the situation, and you will evacuate on time at 4 o'clock, and my side will also make corresponding arrangements to let the Sichuan army guarding Anqing evacuate together. ”

At 3 o'clock in the morning, Wang Weiguo went to find Yang Sen as planned, and Yang Sen was sleeping soundly. After being woken up, Janssen was sleepy-eyed and languishing.

Wang Weiguo immediately told the Japanese 101st Division about the situation of the 101st Division crossing the river and outflanking, Yang Sen suddenly fell asleep, stood up suddenly, and said in horror: "What? My **** ancestors, how is this good, now we have been blown up by the devil and have no power to fight back, if you let the devil stab you in the back, then there is really no place to die. No, I want to quickly inform the troops to retreat! I'll tell you Wang Weiguo, don't stop me this time, don't say it's you, it's Bai Fei who came in person... No, even if the king of heaven is here, I, Yang Sen, will also take the troops away..."

Wang Weiguo glanced at Yang Sen with disdain and said, "Commander Yang, don't worry, I came this time to inform you of the withdrawal of the army on the order of our regiment, not only the Sichuan army in Huaining, but also the Sichuan army brothers in Anqing will also retreat at the same time!" ”

"What? Withdrawal? Ok, good, good! Bai Zhenyu, the turtle son, can finally see the situation clearly, and he is not pedantic! Yang Sen was very happy when he heard this: "Then in this case, I will go and let the brothers prepare..."

Wang Weiguo said: "Commander Yang, you'd better keep your subordinates moving quietly, this is not a joke, once the Japanese army outside the city is alarmed, let them find out that we are retreating, if they catch up, it will be wasted!" ”

"It's nature!" Yang Sen hurried out. After a while, most of the officers and men of the Sichuan army received the order to withdraw their troops, and they all looked very happy and made their own preparations.

Wang Weiguo was not idle, on the one hand, he integrated the team, and on the other hand, he sent someone to bury some explosives at the east gate, and left some souvenirs for the devil before leaving.

As soon as 4 o'clock arrived, the west gate of Huaining City was quietly opened, and then the group took advantage of the night to hurry west, towards the direction of Qianshan.
