The basic judgment of the Ninth Theater Command was that because the Nanchang Japanese Quartermaster Depot was destroyed by Xiao Yifei's guerrillas, there was no condition to launch a spring offensive when food and logistical support had not yet been replenished.

No one expected that Enbe and Ichiro not only launched the spring offensive, but also mobilized the three-way army, two divisions and a mixed brigade.

On the ground is a torrent of steel, and in the air are planes circling.

After receiving the reports from all sides, the Ninth War Zone immediately asked the intelligence department to report the situation to Xiao Yifei. Xiao Yifei convened a meeting of all the team members to look at the map and study. After Xiao Yifei studied for a while, he immediately understood the intentions of the Japanese army, and said to Major Song: "Immediately report to Chief Xue that the goal of the Japanese army is to go to Shanggao, and it is to let all the armies of the national army defend and rescue Shanggao, and to find a way to encircle and annihilate the national army, we must keep all departments away from Shanggao, and pull the Japanese army on the three roads to both sides, and we must not let the Japanese invaders encircle the three roads." Once the Japanese forces are separated, the Japanese invaders in the central part will become relatively alone, and there is a possibility of encircling and gathering and annihilating. ”

After receiving Xiao Yifei's telegram, Xue Yue thought about it carefully, immediately understood the intention, and decisively sent a telegram to the 70th Army on the North Road, ordering it to fight and retreat to the north of Xiushui, and lead the 33rd Division of the Japanese invaders to the north. Xue Yue is a strategist, and he knows that only by luring away one division of the Japanese invaders, the 34th Division will be easy to deal with. Therefore, the focus of the task of leading the enemy fell on the 70th Army.

The commander of the 70th Army was shocked and called back: "The lone army is in the north, and it is very easy to be surrounded and annihilated by the Japanese invaders. ”

Xue Yue called back: "Immediately follow the implementation, and be ready to go south at any time to attack the 33rd Division of the Japanese invaders." ”

The commander of the 70th Army had no choice but to follow the order, and fight and retreat.

The 33rd Division of the Japanese Army on the North Road launched an attack from Anyi to the Chinese 70th Army in front of it, and under the cover of artillery and aviation, it broke west along the Luhe Basin, occupied Fengxin at noon on the same day, and advanced to the vicinity of Coffin Hill and Cheping on the 16th, and continued to pursue westward. The 33rd Division of the Japanese Army on the North Road suddenly found that the attack was in the wrong direction, and immediately became confused, continued to attack, or was it stationed in place? Enbe Kazuichiro's order is a centripetal assault, and the direction should be the Kamitaka area! If you continue to pursue like this, don't you want to hit in the direction of Wuhan? What if this is a trick by the national army to lure the enemy?

The withdrawal of the 70th Army of the National Army to the north suddenly disrupted Enbe and Ichiro's plans.

Enbe and Ichiro could only bite the head and continue to command the army forward.

After launching an attack on the morning of the 15th, the 20th Brigade of the Japanese Army on the South Road crossed the Ganjiang River west near Heyu at noon on the same day, and then marched westward along the south bank of the Jinjiang River. By the 17th, it had occupied Qujiang, Ducheng and other places, and continued to attack and advance towards Gray Port. The middle road is the 34th Division of the main force of the Japanese army, following the attack on the two flanks, it began to operate on the 16th, attacking westward along the Xiangjiang Highway and the north bank of the Jinjiang River from Xishan and Wanshougong, and occupying Xiangfuguan and Lianhuashan on the same day. On the evening of the 17th, the Chinese defenders voluntarily abandoned Gao'an. On the 18th, the 34th Division broke through Gao'an and occupied Longtuanwei.

The Japanese attack was very smooth and advanced extremely fast. As soon as the Japanese army came out, the national army was invincible. The Japanese invaders bred arrogance and became even more aggressive.

In order to strengthen coordination, Xue Yue appointed General Luo Zhuoying as the commander-in-chief, specifically responsible for the Battle of Shanggao. Because the armies participating in the war are mainly Luo Zhuoying's group army, delegating power is convenient for giving full play to Luo Zhuoying's wisdom and talent.

In order to cooperate with the frontal battle of the national army, Xiao Yifei led the team to advance from Niubi Mountain without retreating, and came to the Laohushan area, the main offensive route of the 34th Division of the Japanese Army, and lurked.

Xiao Yifei asked Major Song to report to Xue Yue, and Xiao Yifei's radio station was turned off from now on so as not to expose his whereabouts, and at the same time, from now on, he launched a crackdown on the Japanese invaders.

Xiao Yifei stood on the top of Tiger Mountain and looked at the mighty Japanese army marching forward, and his chest rose with pride. Dog's day, Lao Tzu doesn't care what Chief Xue and Chief Luo think, since Lao Tzu is here, he will tell you to walk around without eating. Even if the main force of the national army is completely annihilated by you, Lao Tzu will tell you to take off a layer of skin.

Gu Yulin, Zhao Zihao, Xue Shiyu, and Major Song came to Xiao Yifei's side, they also wanted to see the progress of the Japanese invaders, but they couldn't see anything. How can their eyesight be compared to that of Siu Yat-fei? Xiao Yifei has super vision! He could see farther than a telescope.

Gu Yulin said worriedly: "Captain Xiao, we are in the core area of the main force of the Japanese invaders, there are the 34th division of the Japanese invaders in the south, and the 33rd division of the Japanese invaders on our backs, so if we are not careful, we may be wrapped dumplings." ”

Xiao Yifei smiled and said: "The 33rd Division of the Japanese Invaders is far away from us!" They must have been led away from the main route by the 79th Army of the National Army. The 34th Division of the Japanese invaders, advancing all the way without encountering fierce resistance, was too arrogant, and the speed of progress was so fast, how could other teams have time to follow up? If I were Kazuichiro Endobe, I would have to shoot the commander of this division. Did he think it was us? Small troops can advance by leaps and bounds, but large troops cannot, and once logistics support cannot keep up, how can this battle be fought? ”

Zhao Zihao asked in a low voice: "Captain, how do you want to fight?" ”

Xiao Yifei smiled and said: "The Japanese invaders will definitely leave us, we are not in a hurry, everyone is determined to set up tents to rest, the night is our world, we will knock out the logistics line of the 34th Division of the Japanese invaders, and see what tens of thousands of troops eat and drink?" What should I do if I run out of bullets? ”

While the team set up a tent and was ready to rest, Xiao Yifei carried the M1 Garand semi-automatic assault rifle alone and went to Jinjiang to reconnoitre.

While the sun was still high in the western sky, Xiao Yifei's guerrillas began to eat dinner.

Major Song squatted beside Xiao Yifei, and asked in a low voice: "Captain, what if the Japanese army surrounds us?" ”

Xiao Yifei sneered and said, "How can the Japanese invaders care about the small army along the road now? Their goal is clear, and they are desperate to attack Shanggao. The Japanese are not willing to distract themselves and manage a small army! You put down a hundred hearts, just prepare ammunition for me here, tie three grenades together, and tie them up for me. After bundling, put it in a sack. The power of the American grenade is too small, three are bundled together, and the power is so-so. Major Song arranged for me to be ten soldiers, one of whom carried five packs of explosives, and followed me, the explosives packs were more powerful than grenades, and there were often ironclad vehicles at the head and end of the convoys, and the ironclad trucks were all fried by explosives. ”

Major Song said yes loudly.

As soon as it was dark, Xiao Yifei led the team to a small high slope and looked at the wide valley ahead, and the cars in the valley were coming and going.

Gu Yulin looked at Xiao Yifei and said with a smile: "You are really divine, it seems that the Japanese prisoner transportation has to be busy day and night." ”

Xiao Yifei nodded and said: "The team is advancing too fast, the transport convoy has no time to follow up, and there are not many Japanese soldiers defending the convoy." We divided into four sections and attacked the Japanese convoy. Each squad must turn on the phone and keep in touch with each other. ”

Zhao Zihao said loudly: "Yes! ”

Xiao Yifei called Die'er and Xue Shiyu to his side, looked at them and whispered, "Pay attention to safety, after the fight, I can't control you." ”

Die'er and Xue Shiyu nodded together, and Die'er said, "Brother, don't worry!" We were all the main players of the group, and I threw the grenade far away. The bombing of transport convoys relied mainly on hand grenades, and guns were less likely to be used. ”

Xue Shiyu whispered: "If you have a chance to upgrade, you must remember to keep it for me." ”

Xiao Yifei smiled and said, "Okay! Keep it for you, but you also have to be safe and don't be too impulsive. ”

Xue Shiyu nodded again and again.

Xiao Yifei jumped on a big rock, glanced at everyone, and said loudly: "Attention to each group, once they are on the battlefield, each group must work as a unit and fight separately, and the goal is to destroy the Japanese transport vehicles. After the grenades were thrown, retreat here, and receive the grenades from Major Song, and each group must advance and retreat together. Cover each other and support each other. Everyone was in position according to the deployment, and I started from the head of the transport convoy and ran all the way to the end of the Japanese transport convoy. The first round of all-explosives packs was made up of three bundled grenades when they returned from the tail of the convoy. When you hear that there is an explosion in front of the Japanese convoy, you all work together and throw grenades at the convoy at the same time. ”

After everyone stood solemnly and said yes loudly, Xiao Yifei waved his hand and said loudly: "All of them, let's go!" ”

As soon as Xiao Yifei's order was reached, all the guerrillas carried bags full of grenades with M1 semi-automatic assault rifles on their backs, and quickly marched towards the attack area assigned to them by Xiao Yifei in small groups, like tigers descending from the mountains.
