The two chatted for a while, knowing that Liu Tianshu would not be brutal this time to cut off the devil's head, Guo Sizhong was somewhat relieved. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

You must know that beating the enemy to death and cutting off his head is a bit cruel no matter how you say it, and it seriously violates discipline and damages the image of the New Fourth Army.

The next thing the two talked about was naturally how to smash the devil's sweep.

"Regiment leader, the devil is advancing towards Wangjiadian this time, it seems that Miura Tadaji wants to let Matsushita Nobuyuki and Ishiya Saburo join forces, in this way, the enemy is too strong, how should we deal with it next?" Guo Sizhong asked with some concern.

After Saburo Ishiya suddenly moved his army to the east, the pressure on the troops of the Fourth Detachment of the New Fourth Army in northwest Anhui was suddenly reduced, and they naturally seized the opportunity to launch an attack on the enemy in front of them, so as to cooperate with the 16th Regiment's counter-sweep.

It's just that now the Japanese army has transferred another brigade from the north and arranged it along the road, blocking the way for the 16th Regiment to join the 4th detachment

"Political commissar, the devil has learned a lesson this time and wants to join forces to advance eastward, Wangjiadian naturally can't defend it, so I will order it to go down, give up Wangjiadian, and let the villagers move immediately to avoid the Maowan tragedy." Speaking of this, Liu Tianshu pondered for a moment, looked at Guo Sizhong and said, "Political commissar, there has been nothing unusual in the east, I always have an ominous feeling, you say, will the enemy of Linshan County take the opportunity to attack from behind our back?" ”

After letting Deputy Head Liu sit in Majiaji, the enemy and us in the west fought fiercely, but the devils in the east seemed to eat fasting and chanting Buddha, and there was no movement at all, which was really abnormal.

"Well, I also noticed the situation you said, this devil's performance is really a bit abnormal, you say, will the devil secretly prepare a trick?" Guo Sizhong said thoughtfully.

The range that Zhou Aiguo's reconnaissance company can monitor is that it is in several neighboring counties, and the enemy situation in further places can only be collected and transmitted by local underground organizations, or forwarded by superiors.

"In this way, send a telegram to Deputy Head Liu and ask him to be vigilant in case the devils sneak attack." Liu Tianshu thought about it and decided to send a telegram to Deputy Head Liu.

At this moment, Staff Officer Sun ran in.

"The regiment commander, the political commissar, one of Guo Zhenlong's regiments suddenly occupied Banqiaoji." Staff Officer Sun looked angry and handed over the telegram in his hand.

"What? Guo Zhenlong occupied Banqiao Ji? Guo Sizhong couldn't help but be shocked, after the third battalion retreated to Banqiaoji, there was only one militia squadron there, plus the militia squads in each village, there were only about 300 people at most, and these militia were not strong in combat.

Liu Tianshu took the telegram and glanced at it quickly, then his face became gloomy, and he handed the telegram to Guo Sizhong.

Looking at the telegram, Guo Sizhong couldn't help but scolded loudly: "This Guo Zhenlong is really not a thing, he actually took advantage of the withdrawal of the main force of our army and attacked us behind our backs, this matter can't be finished, I immediately reported to the detachment and asked the military headquarters to protest in the third war zone." ”

"This matter is really serious, so, commissar, you immediately draw up a telegram and report the situation to the detachment. Guo Zhenlong sent troops at this time, and it was too tacit to cooperate with the little devil, Staff Officer Sun, pass my order, let Banqiao Ji, I want to see, how big is this Guo Zhenlong's appetite? When he said this, Liu Tianshu's face had a faint hint of murderous intent.

At this time, the friendly forces sent troops to grab the territory, directly squeezing the space of the 16th Regiment, which made the already grim situation even more severe.

It's just that at this time, the enemy is current, and naturally he can't transfer troops to deal with Guo Zhenlong's department.

After asking Staff Officer Sun to go out to generate electricity, Liu Tianshu stared at the map and began to think nervously in his mind.

The Itabashi set in the south was lost, and Nobuyuki Matsushita in the west had advanced to less than ten miles from Wangjiadian, and at the same time, Saburo Ishitani in the north had also advanced to ten miles north of Wangjiadian.

Fortunately, both Nobuyuki Matsushita and Saburo Ishitani were worried about being ambushed by the New Fourth Army, so they did not dare to boldly divide their troops, and the speed of advance was very slow, giving the left-behind personnel of the 16th Regiment of Wangjiadian the opportunity to retreat calmly.

However, if the devils occupy Wangjiadian and then advance eastward, as long as the 16th Regiment is driven to the Majiaji area, the 16th Regiment can only retreat to the mountains of Zhang Baling.

Thinking nervously in his mind, after Guo Sizhong finished drafting the telegram and brought it to him to sign it and handed it to a staff officer, Liu Tianshu suddenly looked at Guo Sizhong and said: "Political commissar, I suspect that Guo Zhenlong and the devil have colluded in private, and this time the devil attacked Wangjiadian, it seems that he is ready to adopt the method of parallel advancement to drive the main force of our 16th Regiment out of the base area, and I am afraid that I will not be able to go to the east anymore, after all, the situation in Linshan County is unknown, and it is not far from Nanjing." Come and don't be rude, take advantage of the enemy's heavy troops to invade my base area, I have a plan, what do you think? ”

As he spoke, Liu Tianshu's hand pointed to the county seat of Ningyuan, one hundred and fifty kilometers to the north.

"Hit Ning Yuan?" Guo Sizhong was taken aback.

You must know that the base area of the 16th Regiment is 150 kilometers away from the 16th Regiment and 180 kilometers away from Wangjiadian, and most of them are mountainous and forested areas.

What's more important is that the devil has 500 Japanese troops stationed in Ningyuan County, as well as more than 500 imperial troops, plus other miscellaneous traitor teams, almost 2,000 people smaller. What's even worse is that Ningyuan County has strong city wall fortifications.

"Yes, fight Ning Yuan, if you don't teach the little devils a lesson, they will be even more arrogant. But in this way, the burden of the base will be on your shoulders. Liu Tianshu looked at Political Commissar Guo and said.

"Okay, don't worry, with me, the base is there." Guo Sizhong thought about it and said resolutely.

If the troops retreat to the east, it is very likely that they will fall into the hands of the devils, and if the devils continue to advance eastward after occupying Wangjiadian, and according to the report of the reconnaissance company, the devils have built fortifications in Sanguba, and the defense is extremely tight, judging from the actions of the devils, they are preparing to advance along the road built last time, and then use the road to compress the space for the activities of the 16th Regiment.

If the troops are really squeezed to the north of Wangjiadian, if they don't think about it at this time, they will be even more passive in the future.

"Political commissar, I will leave the fourth battalion and let them fight guerrillas in the base area, and I will take the second battalion, the third battalion and the artillery battalion to attack Ningyuan County, and the base area will be handed over to you." Liu Tianshu saw that Guo Sizhong agreed without hesitation, and his heart couldn't help but be hot, and he looked at Guo Sizhong and said emotionally.

Deciding on the next action, Liu Tianshu immediately ordered the second and third battalions to quickly and quietly advance to the north, and at the same time he took two platoons of the guard company and the artillery battalion and hurried north.

On the second day of Liu Tianshu's northward journey, the Japanese army Matsushita Nobuyobu and Ishitani Saburo's unit met at Wangjiadian, and Wangjiadian, the center of the 16th Regiment base area, fell behind enemy lines.

It's just that the devils formed a group and did not easily leave the road and advance to both sides, so that the fourth battalion could not find much opportunity for ambush at all.

Just when Liu Tianshu quietly came to the area around Ningyuan County with his troops, he suddenly received a telegram from Deputy Regiment Commander Liu that the devil plane suddenly bombed Majiaji, and at the same time, a large number of devils suddenly appeared from the direction of Linshan County and rushed towards Majiaji with murderous spirit.

When Liu Tianshu read the telegram, he couldn't help but be surprised, fortunately, the main force of the 16th Regiment did not retreat in the direction of Majiaji, otherwise, it would have been driven directly into Zhang Baling by the Japanese army's eastern and western armies.

Thinking of this, he had to send a telegram to Deputy Head Liu, asking him to abandon Ma Jiaji and retreat in the direction of Zhang Baling, and at the same time let Political Commissar Guo Sizhong lead his troops to temporarily withdraw to Zhang Baling.

Shinohara Seiichiro received a report from Miura Tadaji that his two-way army had successfully captured Liu Tianshu's old nest Wangjiadian with only sporadic resistance, and had now advanced in the direction of Sujiatang.

Realizing that the resistance of his troops was very weak, Seiichiro Shinohara couldn't help but frown.

Liu Tianshu's troops can have 2,000 people, a few days ago they also ate three squadrons of Shigu Saburo in one bite, and then destroyed several strongholds in the southeast of the Hefei to Huainan highway, there are signs of westward running and the fourth detachment of the New Fourth Army, now the road from Hefei to Huainan has been blocked, and the sweeping army has lost the trace of the main force of the New Fourth Army, so where is Liu Tianshu's main force falling? Could it be that he really obediently retreated to Zhang Baling?

Shinohara Seiichiro thinks it's unlikely, so Liu Tianshu will aim there?

Could it be that Liu Tianshu is preparing to attack the back of the 130 Brigade?

Immediately, Shinohara Seiichiro also felt that it was not possible, after all, after occupying the base of the New Fourth Army this time, he immediately sent a large number of Imperial Allied troops to build strong fortifications in Sanguba, and although Maowan Town did not send troops to occupy it, as long as the main force of the New Fourth Army appeared there, the army that stayed in Wangjiadian could quickly move north, and at the same time, the Japanese army in the northwest could quickly turn around and go east.

As for the north, Ningyuan County was still guarded by more than 1,000 Japanese troops and the Imperial Army.

Thinking of Ningyuan County, a thought flashed through Shinohara's mind, but he quickly threw it away.

After all, there are strong city walls and fortifications in Ningyuan County, and if Liu Tianshu wants to attack Ningyuan County, as long as the Japanese army in Ningyuan County can hold on for a day, his army will form an encirclement of the New Fourth Army.

At that time, Liu Tianshu and his 16th regiment will be unable to fly.

Besides, how could the New Fourth Army have the ability to break through the county town with strong city walls.

After careful study, Seiichiro Shinohara thought that the biggest possibility was that Liu Tianshu had shrunk into the mountains of Zhang Baling.

Thinking of himself as a dignified division commander, but using his brains for a small regiment commander of the New Fourth Army, Shinohara Seiichiro himself felt a little embarrassed.

Tadaji Miura received an order from the division commander and immediately ordered Nobuyuki Matsushita and Saburo Ishitani to advance eastward with all their might, striving to join up with the friendly forces that had occupied Majiaji as soon as possible.

Just when Miura Tadaji was full of confidence in the meeting of the two armies, that night, Liu Tianshu's 16th regiment suddenly appeared under Ningyuan City. (To be continued.) )
