After killing all the devils who were driving and escorting the cars, and successfully robbing the Japanese transport convoy, Hu Fei and his troops were officially replenished for the first time after leaving Jinsui.

The Japanese transport convoy consisted of 12 carts, seven of which were loaded with guns and ammunition. Although these seven carts of ammunition are not too much, they are enough to replenish a base number of ammunition for every soldier in Hu Fei's troops. Combined with the captured grenadiers and light machine guns, the battle also strengthened the cavalry brigade's firepower for the first time in months.

Two of the big cars fell apart due to a crash in the run, and the remaining ten cars were basically still functional. Especially those pack horses, tired is a little tired, let them drink some water, eat some food, rest and rest, after relieving this breath, they can still continue to be competent for the work of pulling carts, which is not too technical.

With much-needed guns and ammunition, a pile of food and clothing, and ten sturdy wagons, this robbery was quite fruitful!

Some people rejoice and some people worry. Hu Fei was naturally happy to rob the devil's convoy and get the much-needed ammunition and weapons supplies, but the Japanese people, the owners of these carts and supplies, were not happy. A convoy transporting weapons and baggage was completely annihilated in the middle of the road, can the devil be happy?

At this time, China and Japan mobilized their armies to carry out the huge Battle of Xuzhou!

China's Fifth Theater successively mobilized 64 divisions and 3 brigades, and about 600,000 people participated in the Battle of Xuzhou. On the Japanese side, the Central China and North China Fronts mobilized eight divisions, three brigades, and two detachments, totaling about 240,000 men, to attack Xuzhou, a strategic point in China, from both the north and the south.

The Chinese and Japanese armies gathered, and nearly one million soldiers on both sides fought to the death on the battlefield in a radius of several hundred kilometers centered on Xuzhou. At this time, it is the time to move the whole body. Any little accident may become the fuse that changes the entire battlefield pattern! The small carjacking incident that occurred on the side of the Jinghan Railway aroused all kinds of suspicion among the top brass of the Japanese army.

General Terauchi Toshiichi, commander of the North China Front, secretly ordered the Japanese secret service to urgently investigate the matter, and ordered the 14th Division, which was preparing to cross the Yellow River south near Puyang, to urgently dispatch at least one elite infantry brigade to participate in the investigation of the matter.

The commander of the 14th Division is the notorious Japanese spy Kenji Dohihara! After receiving the order of the commander of the front army, Terauchi Shouichi, this guy immediately transferred a reinforced infantry brigade from his troops and rushed to the scene of the incident overnight. Before leaving, the old devil repeatedly told the captain of the devil brigade who was ordered to attack: You must be cautious, and report problems in time! The old devil is afraid that the Chinese will set a trap for him!

Isn't that what the battle of Taierzhuang is in front of? The stupid guy of the 10th Division, Kei Seya, has the most advanced mechanized brigade in all of Japan for nothing. He has all the heavy equipment that he should have, such as the tank brigade, the armored vehicle brigade, the cavalry wing, and the heavy artillery wing, and a brigade and regiment-level detachment has even more heavy firepower than his own division! It was this stupid guy who let a group of poorly equipped Chinese lead the nose into Taierzhuang, and almost didn't annihilate them all!

Lieutenant General Dohihara is certainly not a stupid Kei Seya, and even a small convoy robbery by the railroad is enough to make him more vigilant. Not long after the departure of the infantry brigade he sent, Tohihara applied to the front army for aviation support. China is so big, and there is no high-altitude reconnaissance and coordinated combat of the air force, how can he rest assured that his infantry brigade will go deep alone?

The devil's work efficiency is high, and less than two hours after Hu Fei and his troops left, the infantry brigade of the 14th Division rushed to the scene of the incident. The scene was miserable, there were dead bodies of the imperial army everywhere, and the packing boxes containing heavy supplies were thrown on the side of the road at will.

The captain of the devil brigade sent troops to carefully search the surroundings, but they didn't find even a single enemy! Shao Zuo, the devil who searched for the enemy and disappeared, had to take his subordinates to dispose of the corpse on the spot first. At that time, all the devils who died in China usually had to bring their ashes back to China.

There were more than 100 people in the escort, the chauffeur and the porter, and it was a rather difficult task for so many devils to be burned to ashes according to their names! Black smoke billowed from the infantry brigade, and the infantry team cremated all the bodies they had found, and the cremation process lasted for two days.

The Japanese air force carried out repeated aerial reconnaissance in this area, and found traces of many Chinese army activities. After analyzing the Japanese intelligence department one by one, it was found that these Chinese troops were all troops who participated in the Battle of Xuzhou, and they could not distinguish which unit attacked the Japanese transport convoy with their hands.

Although Kenji Dohihara, who received the report, was sternly skeptical about the result, he was particularly pleased that the brigade he sent out had not encountered any accidents. As a result, the infantry brigade of the 14th Division, which was ordered to rescue, completed its mission smoothly after collecting enough ashes, returned victoriously and returned to the division with the main force of the division.

Hu Fei and his cavalry brigade withdrew in time and quickly escaped, avoiding the search of the Japanese infantry brigade and the devil air force in the sky, and then continued to march towards the border between Henan and Hubei provinces.

At this time, the Battle of Xuzhou had come to an end. Xuzhou was lost, and the troops of our army participating in the Battle of Xuzhou retreated separately. At this time, in Lunan, eastern Henan, northern Jiangsu, Huaibei and other places, there were troops of our army withdrawn from the Xuzhou battlefield in action.

After Hu Fei led his cavalry brigade to rob the Japanese transport convoy, he planned to go in the direction of Dabie Mountain, but the direction of action happened to overlap with the retreat route of several units of the national army. These troops who retreated from the battlefield in Xuzhou invisibly provided cover for the cavalry brigade, thus hiding the eyes of the devil's aerial reconnaissance.

There are pros and cons to everything. The Nationalist troops who withdrew from the battlefield covered the cavalry brigade, and at the same time brought another threat to Hu Fei's troops, that is, annexation!

At that time, many units of the national army had the experience of annexing other units, from local troops to the elite of the central army. Hu Fei's extermination of the bandit cottage and the incorporation of the bandit troops was actually an act of annexation.

Hu Fei not only understood the mutual tilting and annexation between the armies, but he was also prepared for a long time. Hu Fei was not afraid of being swallowed up by other troops, and even hoped that there would be troops to annex him. But he is not willing to annex any army, he also wants to find a powerful and prestigious unit, preferably a descendant of the Central Army. In that way, he was annexed by others, and at the same time, he joined the Central Army and joined the organization.

It is with this mentality that Hu Fei shuttles back and forth among the various units of the national army, not only looking for his target, but also constantly becoming the prey of others.
