The Sixth Division, which had just experienced a big victory and frenzied killings in Nanjing, seemed to be the devil in the bottom of his heart by the bloody massacre in Nanjing. For this attack on southern Anhui, the whole division and regiment seem to be very fanatical.

Even the current events about the Nanjing Massacre are still being hyped up in the international community. But to the Japanese infantry wing that entered Bowang, they now seemed to be a group of butchers eager to fight.

Originally, according to Gu Shoufu's order, this lone infantry wing should have begun to be stationed on the periphery of Bowang to open the way for the arrival of the main force in the future. Unmanned air defense can be seen, and the infantry wing naturally drives straight in.

It was only when they entered Bowang that they suddenly found that this area, where many people should have lived, suddenly became empty. After walking all day, this infantry wing did not even see a single living person.

This strange situation also made the officers and men of the attacking Japanese wing feel a little unbelievable. Even in order to test whether there were any troops of the New Fourth Army nearby, the Japanese wing commander sent several teams to search.

As a result, not a single squad was attacked, and they came back one after another to report that they were passing through some villages. But in these villages, there is no living thing to be seen. Not even a single living animal can be seen.

Such a situation is undoubtedly the first time that the Japanese army, who is familiar with China, has encountered it. This also made them unconscious, and they could only follow the predetermined route and continue to move in the direction of Dangtu.

According to the intelligence fed back by the reconnaissance aircraft during the day, the Bowang area seems to be quiet. Although some places where people were moving, the reconnaissance planes found that most of these people scattered and fled in when they saw the plane.

This shows that there is still life in this area. It's just that when they heard the news of their arrival, all these people hid in. So much so that these Japanese soldiers, even if they want to find someone to lead the way, seem to be extremely difficult.

In this strange situation, even the Japanese wing, who entered with a hint of fanaticism, also felt that something was wrong with the situation in this place. Even Gu Shoufu, who led the main force to follow up, also felt unbelievable.

Looking at the map spread out by the staff officer, he said: "According to the situation reported by the 13th Wing, it can be roughly judged that the New Fourth Army has made a plan to clear the wilderness. It is even very likely that we will be at war in Ma'anshan, Wuhu, and Xuancheng.

If we can't replenish the supplies on the spot, all our supplies will need to be transported from the rear, which will make it very difficult to transport. It's just that the people of China in these places are really so clean? ”

Facing Gu Shoufu's inquiry, the chief of staff of the Sixth Division immediately smiled and said: "Your Excellency the division commander, I think that the people who came to the branch knew that we were going to attack southern Anhui and were afraid of our prestige, so they fled in fear!"

It's just that they want to fight us in these three places, and with this ragtag army, I'm afraid they won't be able to resist our attack, right? When we attack Chicheng and Huangshan and open up the passage into Jiangxi, where can they still escape?

Now that the capital of the Lianchina people has been captured by us, how can they be our opponents with these local troops? Running away will never solve the problem. If they are willing to flee, let them continue to escape. ”

Regarding what the chief of staff said, Gu Shoufu shook his head and said: "This situation is only very unfavorable for us. As we captured more and more cities, our forces and supply lines began to grow longer.

According to the information provided by the General Headquarters, the New Fourth Army still has a certain combat effectiveness. The most important thing is that although they have always been under the jurisdiction of the Nationalist Government, they are actually under the command of the Eighth Route Army in Shaanxi. These two forces are almost the same in nature.

Send a telegram to the 13th Infantry Wing, telling them to continue to suppress the pace of the march and not to get too far from the main force at all. It is a little too arrogant to want to solve this New Fourth Army with just one of them. We can't underestimate our opponents! ”

As the division commander of the Sixth Wing, Gu Shoufu undoubtedly knew very well that after the First Battle of Nanjing, the entire division seemed to be arrogant. For the anti-Japanese war troops in China, it seems that they don't pay much attention to it.

The truth that arrogant soldiers will be defeated, how can Gu Shoufu not know it?

It's just that when he sent the telegram to the infantry wing, the thirteenth wing, which had just been stationed in a small town, seemed unimpressed. In their opinion, the top priority is to find the people who are hiding in, so that there will be things and supplies to grab!

Most importantly, for many Japanese officers and soldiers who were willing to be in the vanguard, they were released from the devil in their hearts in Nanjing. I thought about it all the time, and once again released the devil in my heart, and found some Chinese people to vent their fire and relieve the pressure of the war.

These officers and men of the Japanese wing began to rest and look forward to tomorrow's harvest. The special operations detachment that had been eyeing them for a long time had already quietly infiltrated the periphery of their station, preparing to carry out a night raid and harassment war.

Looking at the bright Japanese barracks in front of them, and the guerrillas who cooperated with the special operations detachment, they watched with some envy as these special combat members who harvested the Japanese patrols silently wiped out these Japanese soldiers who were not prepared at all.

In the past few days, the guerrillas who have been fighting with the special combat team have been truly shocked by the skills of these legendary 'martial arts team' members. Many times, what they do is to clean up the battlefield for each other and clean up the little devils they killed.

After the action of eliminating the sentry almost advanced to a range of about a kilometer, the leader of the special operations team who led the team immediately beckoned back. Several guerrillas who cooperated with the special operations detachment quickly brought over what they had been carrying.

Looking at the partisans who were a little out of breath, the leader of the special operations detachment smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work!" Now, you can go to the ambush position, and when we finish these shells, we will go over and join you. Let's go back first! ”

'Well, chiefs, be careful! ’

For these guerrillas, the people in front of them are the chiefs. But for the members of the special operations team, such a title made them feel a little embarrassed. After all, what kind of chiefs are they?

With the four mortars set up, the leader of the special operations detachment said: "Is the machine gunner in place?" ”

'It's already in place!' Even if the little devils send troops over, it will take at least ten minutes or so to suddenly attack our machine gun position. ’

'Well, that's enough time!' See the house in front of you? That's where the little devil wing stored its baggage supplies, and waited for the shells to focus on shelling there. Then there was the house with the telephone pole, which was bombed in the first round of shelling. ’

According to the instructions of Ho Zhengdao's battle plan, he fought against the Japanese troops who had entered the combat zone in the early stage, focusing on attacking the Japanese army's baggage and communications. Without baggage and supplies, the Japanese army will fall into a situation of shortage of food and materials.

And to fight communication equipment, it is more necessary to cut off these Japanese troops who have entered the combat area with the wing as a unit. So that these wings could not contact the main force in the rear, but the main force in the rear thought that this wing might be completely annihilated.

As for the troops that did not focus on attacking the Japanese army, in He Zhengdao's view, the New Fourth Army did not have many artillery shells, so it was better to save some money. Blow up the most important things first, and use guns to solve the rest.

After adjusting the angle of the four mortars, the special operations team leader glanced at them and said, "It's time to start shelling!" ”

The special combat team member holding the shell quickly threw the first shell into the barrel. The sound of a thump sounded, and the mortar quickly burst out of its barrel and flew towards the town where the Japanese wing was stationed in front.

The Japanese troops, who were not far from the artillery positions chosen by the special combat team, immediately realized that someone was sneaking up when they heard the sound and the light of the fire. Soon, a patrol member fired a warning shot, and even quickly led the patrol team to round up.

Hearing the gunshots, many Japanese soldiers who had not yet rested immediately looked at the place outside the town where the gunshots rang out. But at this moment, four mortar shells flew into the town from a kilometer away.

The first shell did not blow up the houses where the Japanese officers and soldiers were resting, but some communication houses with obvious antennas. Soon after the explosion, the telephone pole collapsed, and it is unknown whether the dead were or not.

The rest of the shells, which exploded one after another, fell into the resting place of the baggage troops. The huge explosion of the three shells caused the mostly wooden houses to be ignited by the flames of the explosion.

Just when the captain of the baggage brigade who was responsible for escorting the supplies instructed his subordinates to quickly transfer the materials and extinguish the fire, a new round of shells fell on their station again. The house that was already on fire became more and more vigorous.

At the same time, the Japanese patrols, who first rushed to the artillery positions, did not wait for them to approach the artillery positions. But suddenly I heard a string of life-threatening bullet fire chains coming from the intersection of the road ahead. Many Japanese troops who came to aid were directly knocked to the ground by machine guns.

At the same time, the fires of the artillery positions still looked so dazzling one after another. On the other hand, the small town where the Japanese army wing lived and the barracks where the baggage troops were stationed undoubtedly became the hardest hit areas.

As for the mortar responsible for shelling the radio station of the Japanese wing, after rewarding the other side with three mortars. Immediately adjusted the angle and began shelling the houses that could be touched, regardless of whether there was anyone inside.

In He Zhengdao's words, as long as people are alive, the New Fourth Army can send people to rebuild these houses for the people in the future. If you think too much about it at such a time, it will be a bit more than worth the loss.

After all, the people who live in the town at the moment are all little devils. Even if there is a guide, it is a traitor and traitor, and he is also innocent. Therefore, at the beginning of the shelling, the special combat personnel did not have to think about anything at all.

All they had to do was to dump the cannonballs they brought into the town as fast as they could. The shells ran out directly, and the leader of the special operations team immediately said: "Withdraw the artillery, we should go!" Pull the Thunderbolt you just laid and notify the machine gun team that you can withdraw! ”

After a short and quick order, the three Heavy quickly retreated. The entire exchange of fire lasted less than 10 minutes, but in the course of a few minutes, the special operations detachment dumped more than 40 shells into the town.

As for the outcome of the battle, I believe we will know tomorrow. At least tonight, it is estimated that these little devils will not be able to sleep steadily!
