Although the withdrawal was carried out in a very secret way, it was finally detected by the Japanese army.

It turned out that Yang Sen managed to get more than a dozen tanks a few days ago, and this time the retreating army was really reluctant to throw them away, so he had to take them with him. But when this thing starts, the sound is very loud, and it will definitely alarm the Japanese troops outside the city.

Wang Weiguo was helpless, and said to Yang Sen: "In this way, you take someone to go first, and I will take the tank out for you." ”

To put it mildly, Yang Sen agreed and left first with the troops.

In order to create more time for them, Wang Weiguo waited until almost dawn before letting the dozens of soldiers of the first battalion who were left behind board the tank, and quickly drove away from Huaining after launching it.

The people of the regiment directly under the regiment had been trained by Bai Fei in Wuhan last time, and they had learned to drive all kinds of vehicles, ships, tanks, armored vehicles, etc., if they were allowed to drive tanks to fight, it would be a little worse, but if they just drove away, it would be very easy.

As soon as the tank started, the loud sound it made really alarmed the Japanese troops outside the city. When the Japanese found that Huaining had become an empty city, the Sakai detachment responsible for attacking Huaining immediately sent cavalry troops to the west to chase after them. However, the tank is a mechanical vehicle in the end, and the speed of moving forward at full speed is still quite fast, and the Japanese army chased after it, but saw that they could not catch up, so they had to give up.

At this time, the commander of the 106th Division, Junrokuro Matsuura, had already learned of the fact that the Huaining defenders had fled, and he was furious and scolded incessantly.

Staff officer Yoshitaka Akiyama said on the side: "It seems that the defenders of Shina have sensed our intentions. ”

Matsuura Junrokuro sighed: "You are right, it must be the fact that the 101st Division was outflanked from the rear was exposed, otherwise they would not have evacuated at this critical juncture." It's really heartwarming and a pity that this group of stupid pigs under Masaki Ito, our encirclement and annihilation plan is just the last step away, and we have wasted all our efforts like this! ”

Akiyama Yoshitaka said: "Your Excellency Matsuura, now that the Huaining defenders have fled, I see that almost eighty percent of the Anqing defenders have also fled, I suggest that the soldiers immediately occupy the city and send troops to the west to chase after them!" ”

"Yo Si! Just do as you say, and send a telegram to the headquarters to explain the situation, so that Commander Okamura Ninji can understand that this failure of the encirclement and annihilation is not our responsibility, and ask him for tactical guidance. ”

"Hey!"

However, not long after Yoshitaka Akiyama left, there was a sudden burst of heavy shelling outside.

Junrokuro Matsuura frowned, hurriedly walked out of the command room, and asked, "Where did the cannon sound come from?" ”

An attendant of the headquarters immediately ran out to inquire about the situation, and after a while, he ran over and reported: "Your Excellency the division commander, Akiyama Daisa's command of two brigades was shelled by the Anqing defenders on the way to Anqing City, and the team suffered heavy losses, more than 400 people were directly killed, and more than 600 people were seriously injured..."

"Nani?" After hearing this, Matsuura Junrokuro was overjoyed and angry, angry that he had more than 1,000 of his subordinates reimbursed, but happy that the Anqing defenders did not evacuate.

He was about to ask, but when he saw Yoshitaka Akiyama running over with a disgraced face, he said, "Your Excellency Matsuura, I'm sorry. As a result of my miscalculation, more than a thousand warriors were killed and wounded, and I am guilty! ”

Junrokuro Matsuura asked, "What's going on?" ”

Akiyama Yoshitaka said with a look of shame: "Earlier, I suggested sending troops to occupy Anqing, and after obtaining your consent, I mobilized two brigades to prepare to march into Anqing City. Before leaving, just in case, I sent a team into the city to check the situation, until they gave a safety signal after entering the city, I took a large army to follow, but while walking, I was suddenly hit by hundreds of shells fired in the city, resulting in heavy losses to the troops, and the team that entered the city to check the situation is estimated to have sacrificed their lives..."

"Bagayanu!" Matsuura Junrokuro slapped Akiyama Yoshitaka twice angrily, and said, "Have you found out how many other defenders there are in Anqing City?" ”

Yoshitaka Akiyama was ashamed and said, "No! However, judging from the shells fired by the other side, they are very similar to the regiment directly under the military police of China that fought with us before, and it seems that they should still be in the city! ”

When Junrokuro Matsuura heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

At this moment, another attendant came to report: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, a big flag has suddenly been erected at the head of Anqing City."

Junrokuro Matsuura and Yoshitaka Akiyama immediately came to the wilderness, checked the situation with binoculars, and sure enough, they saw a large red cloth hanging from the wall of the gatehouse in the east of Anqing City, and two stones were tied to the two corners below, and the red cloth hung straight. Two lines of big characters were written on the cloth: Bai Fei of the regiment directly under the gendarmerie is here, and the little devil is sent to death.

Seeing this, Junrokuro Matsuura was not angry but happy, and said to Akiyama Yoshitaka: "Akiyama-kun, according to you, whether Bai Fei will really be in the city." ”

Akiyama Yoshitaka said: "The people of Shina have always been scheming, and I dare not determine whether this matter is true or false, but I am sure that the shelling just now must have been written by the regiment directly under the Shina Military Police." ”

"Yo Si! They are so arrogant that they brazenly provoke us. Inform the Sakai detachment and let them move closer to Anqing immediately, and then inform the artillery unit that they don't have to keep their hands anymore and shell with all their might, and they must bombard Anqing City to ruins! ”

"Hey!"

……

At the same time, Anqing.

Li Hu, the leader of the special operations team, was lying on the head of the city and looked at the devils who had suffered heavy casualties in the distance, and laughed happily. Deputy Captain Li Kuan reminded in the back: "Captain, hurry up, the devil is likely to be about to carry out artillery bombardment, and the heavy artillery shells are not a joke." ”

Li Hu said: "Okay, let's withdraw!" ”

After a while, the two returned to the bomb shelter with their men, and Bai Fei asked, "How is it, how is the result?" ”

Li Hu said: "The devils of the two brigades are estimated to be dead and wounded. The use of tripods and batteries to launch 107 rocket launchers, although this method has been learned, some brothers are still not very skilled in manipulating it, and the shells are sent flying, otherwise the devils will suffer more casualties. ”

Bai Fei smiled and praised: "It's good to use this kind of local method to fight devils with half of the casualties, you did a good job." ”

Li Hu said again: "By the way, the piece of cloth has also been hung out, but I don't understand, why do you want to tell the devil that you are here?" ”

Bai Fei explained: "I am already a thorn in the side of the devil now, otherwise there would not have been an assassination in Wuhan last time." This time, tens of thousands of devils besieged Anqing, and they brought in strategic troops such as heavy artillery brigades, and all kinds of signs indicate that they must want to get rid of me as soon as possible. In this case, I will show the name, and this is also done so that I can hold back the large force of the Japanese army. Otherwise, the Japanese army will definitely send a large number of troops to attack Qianshan and other places, and the defensive pressure on Qianshan will definitely increase greatly, don't forget, there are hundreds of thousands of people there, once it is lost, the consequences will be unimaginable..."

As he was talking, there was a rumbling explosion outside, but the Japanese army had already started shelling Anqing again.

Bai Fei hurriedly said, "Have all the brothers outside entered the air-raid shelter?" ”

Li Hu said: "My brothers in the special combat team have already taken refuge, and the second battalion is still unclear..."

At this time, Li Shuyang walked in from outside with a disgraced face and said, "In addition to the brothers who observed the enemy's situation, most of the brothers in the second battalion have also taken refuge, don't worry." He patted the dust on his body and said: "Tuanza, there is a telegram from Wei Guo, they have arrived safely in Qianshan, and they have already been in contact with Commander Ye Ting's people, and Commander Ye is very grateful for the weapons you gave them." ”

"Oh? Very good! They arrived safely, and I put my heart at ease. Bai Fei let out a breath and asked again: "Where is the 101st Division of the Japanese Army?" ”

"The 101st Division repelled a regiment of the New Fourth Army stationed here in Pingshan Town last night, crossed the blockade line, and has now attacked Youba Township, about 10 kilometers south of Qianshan. The 1st and 4th detachments of the New Fourth Army and the 134th Division of the Sichuan Army are resisting the attack of the 101st Division, but... According to the Weiguo telegram, Yang Sen did not like the New Fourth Army in a bad way, so he did not contribute to the war, the quarrel between the two sides was very unpleasant, and the defense against the Japanese army was not going well..."

When Bai Fei heard this, his heart suddenly became angry, he could imagine Yang Sen's dead appearance of 2580,000, and scolded: "This old thing, it's really a-stirring stick, you immediately send a telegram to Weiguo, and ask him to send the first battalion, the third battalion and Wu Dazhong's artillery battalion to immediately assist the New Fourth Army to resist the Japanese army, and replace the 134th Division back, it is useless for this kind of unit that does not work hard to stay on the front line." ”

"No problem!"

Bai Fei said again: "Then you send a telegram to Yang Sen in my name, telling him that he doesn't have to worry about the war in Qianshan, but there is one thing he must do well, let him immediately start evacuating the people in Qianshan, whether it is to the west or to Taihang Mountain, in short, transfer as soon as possible, until the people are evacuated." If he can't even do this, not only will I sue him in front of the commissioner, but I will also order someone to blow up all the dozen or so tanks he brought out of Huaining! ”

Li Shuyang laughed and said: "Yang Sen regards those tanks as more important than his life, this is going to blow him up, Yang Sen is not crying to death?" ”

Bai Fei said: "This old thing, if you don't give him some threats, he won't do a good job." You tell him on telegram, I do what I say! ”

Li Shuyang said: "No problem! I'm going to send a report! ”
