Let's say that Bai Fei withdrew from Zongyang with the special combat team, and originally wanted to fight guerrillas with the devils along Caizi Lake, but before he reached the area around the Huigong, news came from the front that the Japanese army had bypassed Caizi Lake and copied from Beibao.

Bai Fei made a quick decision and immediately returned the same way with his troops. At this time, the Japanese army in Zongyang had already chased to the vicinity of Qingshan and Changheling, and the two sides were about to collide, but Bai Fei and the others rode horses, relying on the speed of war horses, and bypassed Baidang Lake from the right side of Mabu Mountain to advance eastward, and finally broke through the encirclement of the Japanese army without danger.

Kenten Iino, the commander of the 123rd Wing, the vanguard of the 136th Brigade of the Japanese Army, saw that the enemy had escaped under his nose, and his anger was like thunder, and he immediately ordered a quick pursuit, but the two sides rode on horseback and on foot, how could this catch up? Kenten Iino ran seven or eight miles with his troops, but he didn't even catch a single hair, but along the way, soldiers were constantly blown up because they stepped on mines, killing and wounding more than 200 people.

Iino Ken was so angry that he wanted to die, but he had no choice but to slow down his march.

At this time, the sky was already gray and about to dawn, and Bai Fei and the others also fled to the Pingdingshan area on the east side of Baidang Lake. Everyone has been defending the city for several days in a row, and last night was another night of tossing and turning without rest, so they all felt a little tired.

Seeing this, Li Hu said to Bai Fei: "Tuanzao, I think we might as well go up the mountain and rest first?" ”

Bai Fei observed the surrounding environment, took out the map and looked at it carefully, and said: "No, this place is too close to the devil, and the mountain is gentle, there is no danger to defend, if the devil outflanks, we won't even have a way out." If we insist on persevering, we will go a little further east, and we will be safe in the area of Daijiawa, where the mountains are surrounded by dozens of kilometers, even if the army of devils comes to search the mountains, it is very difficult to find us. ”

After speaking, Bai Fei led everyone to continue walking in the northeast direction, and after a while, everyone had already entered the mountainous area and found that this forest area located in the middle of Lujiang County and Wuwei County was indeed very large.

After finding a place to settle, Bai Fei ordered everyone to dismount and rest, bury the pot and make rice.

Li Hu said: "Tuanzao, will the fireworks expose us?" ”

Bai Fei waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, not to mention that the devil is still far away, even if we are in front of us, we are not afraid." Don't forget, this is in the mountains, and besides, we were meant to attract the attention of the devils. The brothers did not rest well for several days, and then they took out the canned meat of the devil and cooked some soup, so that everyone could drink a few sips and have a good rest. ”

"Yes!"

Soon, the aroma wafted away. After the soup was cooked, Li Hu filled some in a lunch box and brought it to Bai Fei.

Bai Fei took it and said, "Have the brothers all drunk it?" ”

Li Hu said: "It's all drunk, and those who are on guard outside have also been sent." ”

Bai Fei took a few sips and said with a smile: "The devil's canned meat soup tastes pretty good." ”

As he was talking, Li Kuan came over with a few telegrams and said, "Tuanzao, the brother in charge of communication just now turned on the radio station and received a few telegrams, can you take a look?" ”

Bai Fei put down the lunch box, took the telegram, and found that there were a total of five telegrams, two of which were sent by Wang Weiguo and Li Shuyang, they were all worried about Bai Fei's safety, and the words in the telegram were very anxious, hoping to know his condition. The third and fourth letters were sent by Ye Ting, commander of the New Fourth Army, and Yang Sen, commander of the 27th Group Army, respectively.

The telegram sent by Ye Ting first thanked Bai Fei for the guns and ammunition he sent, and secondly, he also spoke highly of the regiment directly under his command for cooperating with the New Fourth Army to defend Qianshan, and finally expressed his concern for Bai Fei's safety, and said that if necessary, he could send armed forces behind enemy lines operating in northern Anhui to cover and support them.

Although Ye Ting's last words were not explicitly stated, Bai Fei knew what he meant.

Janssen's telegram was all about grievances, in which he said how difficult the work of relocating the people of Qianshan was, and that Qianshan was now in precarious danger, and asked when he could evacuate Qianshan.

Bai Fei snorted coldly and threw his telegram aside.

The last telegram was sent by Chiang Kai-shek's chamberlain, in which Chiang Kai-shek praised him for successfully completing the task of defending Anqing for half a month, and asked him where he was now, and asked him to return to Wuhan as soon as possible.

After reading all the telegrams, Bai Fei said to Li Kuan: "Call back to Deputy Regiment Commander Wang and Battalion Commander Li, tell them that everything is fine, let them not worry, and proceed according to the original plan." At the same time, I will send a report to Commander Ye again, thank him for his kindness, and notify him as soon as necessary. ”

Li Kuan nodded and said, "What happened to Yang Sen and the commission?" ”

"Janssen told him in my name that he had to complete the task of moving the people no matter what, and then he could retreat. If you act privately, don't blame me for not thinking about friendship when the time comes. As for the commission... In this way, I sent a clear telegram in my name, and the telegram said that we had blown up the heavy artillery brigade of the Japanese army and its material warehouse in Zongyang, and now we are heading to Lujiang to prepare to go north to Hefei. ”

"Huh?" Li Kuan was stunned.

Bai Fei said: "Ah what, just send it." ”

"Oh, yes!" Li Kuan saluted, turned around and sent a report.

Li Hu was also surprised, and hurriedly said: "Tuanzuo, are we really going to Hefei?" ”

Bai Fei said: "Then you think I'm joking? ”

"But this... As soon as the telegram was sent, the whole world knew about it, how could the Japanese army not be prepared at that time? ”

Bai Fei smiled and said, "Ready? Have you ever heard a sentence, there is only a thousand days to be a thief, and there is no thousand days to prevent thieves. Now we are this 'thief', just let the devil guard against it, it's okay. Okay, don't think about it, hurry up and take a break, from now on, we will be busy. ”

A few minutes later, Bai Fei's clear code telegram had been sent.

Bright code power generation, Bai Fei has done it twice so far. The first time was in the Taihang Mountains, in order to expose the purpose of the devil's eastward march along the Taihang, Bai Fei chose to generate electricity in a clear code, and the last stone stirred up a thousand waves, which not only destroyed the Japanese army's encirclement and suppression plan, but also eventually led to the destruction of the First Brigade of the Kwantung Army of Abe Norihide in the Taihang Mountains.

This was the second time, and after the telegram was sent, Chiang Kai-shek's chamber soon received the telegram and reported it to Chiang Kai-shek as soon as possible. Chiang Kai-shek was shocked when he saw the telegram, and was about to order someone to summon Chen Cheng, but Chen Cheng had already come.

Chiang Kai-shek said: "Cixiu, you came just in time, I was about to send someone to find you." ”

Chen Cheng said: "The commission is for Bai Zhenyu's clear code message? ”

Chiang Kai-shek said: "It is precisely this matter that the Ministry of Military Affairs also received a telegram, right?" Tell me, what the hell is this bastard trying to do? ”

Chen Cheng frowned and said: "It's not good to say that I am humble, but judging from the telegram, he got rid of the heavy artillery brigade of the Japanese army, which is a great joy." You must know that the heavy artillery brigade belongs to the strategic unit of the Japanese army, and its heavy artillery is extremely powerful, and the threat to our army is very great in a head-on battle. In addition, Bai Zhenyu defended Anqing, and now most of the troops of the Japanese 11th Army have been attracted to Jiangbei, and now Qianshan is still in our hands, I heard that Zhenyu gave Yang Sen an order to let him be responsible for relocating the people of Qianshan, and it is still in progress. However, he led people to jump behind enemy lines, and I guess he must have wanted to attract the main force of the Japanese army to buy time for the evacuation of the hidden mountain. ”

Chiang Kai-shek nodded and said: "In any case, if you can hold off the Japanese army for a day, you can have more time to move the organs, factories and mines here in Wuhan to the west, which Zhenyu has done very well, but now he is alone in the depths, surrounded by enemies..."

Chen Cheng said: "Are you worried about his safety? ”

Chiang Kai-shek sighed: "Bai Zhenyu, he is really a tiger general, if he can be given greater rights, maybe our war will not be so hard, but..."

Chen Cheng naturally knew Chiang Kai-shek's thoughts, and diverted the topic: "There is no need to worry too much about the commission, presumably since he dares to generate electricity in a clear code, there must be a way to get out, we just need to wait and see what happens." ”

Chiang Kai-shek nodded and said, "Cixiu, do you think he will really go to Hefei?" ”

Chen Cheng said: "I'm afraid this is just a means for him to confuse the Japanese army, no matter what, it is always good for us to make the Japanese army nervous." ”

Chiang Kai-shek didn't know if it was okay, thought about it and suddenly said: "Which unit is the closest to Qianshan now?" ”

Chen Cheng thought for a while and said, "It should be the 31st Army, they are in the area of Taihu Lake." ”

"Immediately send a telegram to the 31st Army and order it to send troops to reinforce Qianshan."

"The 31st Army belongs to the Fifth Theater, isn't it?" Chen Cheng saw that Chiang Kai-shek's mistake of overstepping his command had been committed again, and he hurriedly reminded him.

Chiang Kai-shek disagreed: "Then send a telegram to Bai Chongxi and ask him to send the 31st Army to reinforce Qianshan." ”

"It's... Be! Chen Cheng had no choice but to agree.
