Although Xiao Siming didn't know what big moves Terauchi Shouichi would make, he knew very well in his heart that the attack on Chenqiao and the seizure of the Japanese army's arms supplies were the same as the attack on and occupation of Texas, a bucket hornet's nest! Next, the little devil will definitely pounce on him like a hungry wolf and tear around him!

Attacking and occupying Dezhou, Terauchi Shouichi actually dispatched the Fifth Division, the Sixteenth Division, and the Third Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade to return to North China in an attempt to encircle and annihilate the eastward advance detachment.

However, what Xiao Siming wants is to lead the devil by the nose, mobilize the Japanese army, and exhaust the Japanese army, so that the North China Front Army cannot go all out to fight the Battle of Wuhan, so as to truly avoid the great tragedy of the first war zone opening the garden mouth!

If the North China Front concentrated its forces around Xiao Siming's eastward advance detachment and didn't care about participating in the Battle of Wuhan, from the perspective of the overall situation of the Anti-Japanese War, even if Xiao Siming died in battle and the eastward advance detachment fought hard, it would be cost-effective!

However, at this time, Xiao Siming didn't care about what Shouichi Terauchi thought, nor what the heads of the headquarters and Yan'an thought, let alone what the commanders of the First Theater Commander's Headquarters thought, he was going all out to organize the rush in Chenqiao Town!

Zhao Xiuchuan, commander of the artillery regiment, took the soldiers of the infantry artillery battalion, rapid-fire artillery company, and heavy machine gun battalion to be the drivers, carrying the anti-ammunition boxes of the ammunition boxes, and the rubber trucks and artillery trucks full of ammunition, pulling the newly captured field artillery, mountain artillery, the original infantry guns, rapid-fire guns, and the heavy machine guns of the heavy machine gun battalion.

In Chenqiao Town, only one regiment and one battalion and two cavalry companies transferred back from Fengqiu City were left to mobilize the masses in Chenqiao Town and the surrounding villages, organize a forward transport team, and assist the Eighth Route Army in transporting the remaining rice, flour, oil and other daily necessities.

In February this year, the 14th Division of the Japanese Army occupied all the county towns in Xinxiang in just one week, and then established puppet governments at all levels in Xinxiang and implemented the armor protection system.

At this time, in the territory of Fengqiu, there are neither armed activities behind the enemy lines of the National * Army, nor the armed activities behind the enemy lines of the Eighth Route Army, it is purely a occupied area, and the people are looking forward to the ** team blind!

The operation of the first regiment, one battalion and two companies of the cavalry battalion in Chenqiao Town and the surrounding villages to organize the advance team was very smooth, and the villagers rushed to the front, driving carts and pushing carts to help the troops transport them.

Considering that the troops will soon be withdrawn and the Japanese army will retaliate frantically, this time, Xiao Siming took the same method as in Sangshuping Village near Taiyuan, except for a few traitors who committed the most heinous crimes, he did not kill the captured puppeteers in Fengqiu County, Chenqiao Town, and those puppet security chiefs, but mobilized them to participate in the front team, used their mules and horses to transfer materials to the Eighth Route Army, and opened warehouses in Fengqiu City and Chenqiao to release grain to relieve the poor.

The most typical thing is that Xiao Siming asked the soldiers to use guns to force those hypocrites to release food to the people, so that they couldn't tell if they were suffering!

This is done in order to protect the villagers who are actively supporting the front, so that those hypocrites can play tricks on the little devils in order to protect themselves!

Considering that the enemy situation will change at any time, the speed of the transfer must be fast, and the time cannot be delayed, Xiao Siming sent a report to Wang Lushui, asking him to send all the rubber trucks and pack horses of the baggage battalion, and transfer a battalion from each of the three main regiments to advance along the road from Puyang to Changyuan, meet the convoy of goods, and strive to let the car return again, and greet the front team formed by the villagers on the way to ensure that the captured rice, white flour and other daily necessities are quickly transported back.

In the telegram to Wang Lushui, Xiao Siming proposed that one company each be transferred from the three infantry regiments, the guard battalion, and the engineer battalion, led by Huang Hua and Huo Cheng, to control the Guantai Ferry, and ordered the engineer battalion to collect the equipment for crossing the river in Guantai, prepare to erect a pontoon bridge at the Guantai Ferry, and transport the materials seized from Chenqiao from the Guantai Ferry to southwest Lu. At the same time, Wang Lushui was asked to immediately send a report to the new corps, ordering the new corps to move quickly to Zhencheng County, control the ferry, and receive the transfer of materials.

Xiao Siming made it very clear that after the troops led by Huang Hua and Huo Cheng transferred materials and crossed the river, they would join the baggage battalion and the new corps to form the Lunan Independent Detachment, the eastward advance detachment of the 115th Division, with Huang Hua as the detachment leader and Huo Cheng as the political commissar, to quickly and covertly advance into Lunan and join the Lunan troops controlled by the Shandong party organization to create the Lunan base area.

At this time, Wang Lushui was worried that the advance detachment would not be able to cross the Yellow River with heavy equipment, but he didn't expect Xiao Siming's telegram to propose a solution, and it coincided with the instructions of the headquarters and the Yan'an headquarters to "divide the troops and march eastward" if it really can't work!

When the brigade set out from Texas before the eastward advance, the logistics office and the baggage battalion prepared half a month's rations for each unit in accordance with Xiao Siming's order. By now, the rations of the various units have basically run out and they urgently need to be replenished.

After receiving Xiao Siming's telegram, Wang Lushui did not delay at all, and immediately ordered Chief of Staff Hu Qingyun to personally lead the troops and baggage battalions to set off to meet the rapid column, and at the same time ordered Huang Hua and Huo Cheng to dispatch troops to rush to Guantai, control the Guantai ferry, and prepare to cross the river; The new regiment was ordered to move immediately towards Zhencheng from the Huxi area to Zhencheng, control the ferry, and meet the troops crossing the river.

By the time the villagers formed a front team drove mule, horse, cart, and donkey carts, pushed carts, and carried picks, and followed a regiment and a battalion from Chenqiao, it was already the second half of the night.

Not bad, the villagers supported the Eighth Route Army, and the mobilized young adults, little daughters-in-law, and big girls went into battle together, plus the war horses of two companies of the cavalry battalion, and finally finished transporting the rice, white flour, oil, and daily necessities in the warehouse of the Japanese army in Chenqiao.

Xiao Siming's Illuminated Night Jade Lion Horse did not turn into a pack horse in the end, because Yan Rou was exhausted by this time and could no longer support it, and it was impossible to march on foot to keep up with the troops.

Yan Rou was originally equipped with a mule, but when she went to study at the Jilu Border Military and Political School, the mule had already been handed in. Later, he asked for leave from the Jilu Military and Political School, and chased the guard battalion that evacuated from the Jilu border overnight, riding the war horse of Wang Lushui's guard Guo Tian.

This long-distance attack on Chen Qiao, originally the female comrades were not suitable for such an operation, and Shi Poshan, the director of the logistics department, would not bring her here, but no one in the logistics department had a higher education level than Yan Rou and could settle accounts, and she actively asked for it, Shi Poshan drew her here, and then the cadres of the logistics department took a car to Chen Qiao.

From the attack on Chenqiao in the evening to the present, Yan Rou has never rested, busy counting the number and writing vouchers for each unit, doing more than the male comrades in the logistics department, and she is even more tired.

It's time to evacuate, but Yan Rou sat on the ground and couldn't stand up.

The front team of the villagers followed a regiment and a battalion, and the two companies of the cavalry battalion that set off last were carrying rice bags and flour bags on their horses, and the war horses had become pack horses, no way, Xiao Siming picked up Yan Rou and put it on his war horse.

Before Xiao Siming left Chen Qiao, he ordered him to continue to mobilize the masses and propagate anti-Japanese resistance in Fengqiu City, and evacuate Fengqiu tomorrow night to join the large army.

When Xiao Siming left Chenqiao Town with the jade lion horse and Yan Rou on his back, in the dark night, the Japanese artillery positions on the other side of the Yellow River fired flares from time to time and landed around Chenqiao on the north bank of the Yellow River.

The reason why the little devils did not shell Chenqiao is because they never thought that the Eighth Route Army suddenly appeared in Chenqiao and attacked Chenqiao, which was heavily garrisoned, and the Japanese artillery did not mark the coordinates of Chenqiao in advance.

Of course, there may be another reason, that is, the Japanese army has illusions about recapturing Chenqiao from top to bottom, and is afraid that if the shelling of Chenqiao is carried out, it will cause ammunition and gasoline to explode, and jade will be burned together! You know, the little devil is also waiting to replenish himself with the arms stored in Chenqiao!

The little devil lit the flare because he wanted to monitor the movements of the Eighth Route Army. It's a pity, it's night, the Great Plains are so vast, where can the little devils monitor the movements of the Eighth Route Army!

In fact, the Japanese troops on the other side of the Yellow River strictly carried out the orders of the commander of the North China Front, Terauchi Shouichi, and the commander of the First Army, Mitsu Mijiro, until two days later, when the eastward advance detachment fought a major battle with the Japanese independent mixed fourth brigade in Puyang, and then they sent their troops to cross the Yellow River by boat, launched a search attack on Chenqiao, recovered Chenqiao, and went to collect the corpses of the 15th Independent Infantry Brigade.

With so many supplies and so many front teams, Xiao Siming was in a hurry to rush back to Puyang, and he didn't dare to leave the team and go alone, for fear of an accident, and when he was attacked by the Japanese puppet army, he could only lead the war horse and carry Yan Rou, and march behind the second and third companies.

The Eighth Route Army's attack on Chenqiao was from Puyang to Changyuan and Fengqiu, which was tantamount to drawing an arc and going far away, avoiding the county town of Changyuan and important market towns occupied by the Japanese puppet army. Now going back, in order to save time, and for the sake of air defense during the day tomorrow, Xiao Siming ordered the armored battalion that opened the road to insert the road from Puyang to Changyuan and Fengqiu from Chenqiao, and marched along the road.

In this way, you can save time and destroy those Japanese pseudo-strongholds along the way.

Of course, the reason why Xiao Siming dared to do this was because there were very few Japanese troops in Changyuan, Fengqiu, and Puyang. The 14th Division had already left, and the main force of the 4th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade had left for the Zhanghe River, and only a handful of Japanese troops remained in this area, most of which were puppet troops in the nature of local security regiments that the Japanese army hastily put together. Those guys, I'm afraid that at this time, they have already received the news that the main force of the Eighth Route Army is attacking and occupying Chenqiao, either close the city gate and do not come out, or take advantage of the night to escape, maybe Changyuan County will become an empty city at this time, not to mention the strongholds along the highway!

Without the support of the Japanese army, the pseudo-security regiment is just a group of leper dogs, and it can't become any climate! (To be continued.) )
