Just as Wan Zixiong was spitting lotus flowers in the Third War Zone, Liu Qinghe had just rushed to the Fifth War Zone Commander's Headquarters to report to General Li Zongren.

Li Zongren has a good impression of the Tuesday dog, but because the Tuesday dog is too young, he doesn't pay special attention to it, for the Wu Mu army, General Li Zongren is not like Gu Zhutong and Xue Yue have personal experience, although he watched the military exercises in Xishan, he thinks that it is just a conceptual demonstration of Wu Mujun's new weapons and new tactics, and it is impossible to promote them on a large scale in the army, this old-school soldier is only interested in new weapons, "invite" Liu Qinghe just wants to give full play to the advantages of Wu Mujun's good at looting, and loot the devil's transportation line around Wuhan, and he can attack and disturb the devil's son when he comes, Second, it is possible to seize some weapons and equipment and supplies for the Fifth War Zone. Therefore, Li Zongren issued a special pass to Liu Qinghe's troops, so that he could move freely in the first defense area and obtain support, and at the same time, the proportion of materials captured by Wu Mujun, the Fifth Theater, and the participating troops was indicated on the pass, so as to increase the enthusiasm of all units for joint operations.

Liu Qinghe found the maps of the departments of the Fifth Theater, and after analysis, he believed that the number of his troops was comparable to a division of the ** Central Army or an army of miscellaneous troops, and they were well-equipped, the target was too big and too ostentatious, and it was not suitable to be too close to Wuhan, which was heavily guarded by devils, and there were too many troop trucks and artillery, which were not suitable for maneuvering in mountainous areas, so it was better to be in a hilly area, so he fell in love with Hanchuan and reported to the Fifth Theater Commander's Department, which was approved.

So Liu Qinghe drove into the hills of Hanchuan. He first selected a small flat land to be defended by several hills, where there were commanding heights to rely on on all sides, and it was convenient for vehicles and artillery to enter and exit, and this was the main road for the 11th Army of the devils in Wuhan to communicate with the troops in the north. Then the arrangement of the defense began: the anti-aircraft battalion was placed halfway up the surrounding mountainside; The artillery battalion is placed in a position convenient for maneuver and sets up a number of preset positions to set up firing elements; The anti-tank battalion is placed in the preset position of the artillery battalion, and a passage route is set up to the commanding heights and other positions where the fire is exerted; The engineer battalion repaired the roads and set up the defenses; cavalry battalion mobile alert; The police battalion arranges internal guards; The special battalion reconnoiters the perimeter situation; Infantry battalions were encamped; The baggage battalion and the health team choose a suitable site for placement; The map here is not marked, and Liu Qinghe named it "Tiger Wolf's Den".

After the arrangement was completed, the special battalion reported that the devils drove over from the southeast, and the target was directly aimed at the tiger and wolf's den, about the appearance of a brigade.

Liu Qinghe smiled, yes, a fully equipped division was inserted into the hinterland of the devil, and it was impossible for the devil not to react, but he sent a brigade, the devil was stupid and crazy, and he sent appetizers to Liu Qinghe for no reason, so that Liu Qinghe was disrespectful!

The devil really took Wu Mujun as a **, thinking that a brigade would deal with a division with a handle and eat this branch of the army.

Liu Qinghe called the commander of the first battalion in charge of the southeast, and the commander of the first battalion said very reluctantly: "Captain, let me go home by myself, isn't it just a brigade?" If you can't take it, you cut and drink! ”

"What do I want you to do with that filthy thing? Tell you, don't fight hard to break the cost, if you can't withdraw, there is an artillery battalion for you to top, this is an alternative retreat route! Liu Qinghe handed the map to the first battalion commander, and the first battalion commander saluted and turned around and left.

The devils near Wuhan are very vigilant, because since the occupation of Wuhan, the guerrilla war has not been interrupted. The spearhead squad, the spearhead squad, the forward squadron, another infantry squadron, then the heavy machine gun squadron, the artillery squadron, the receiving squadron, the brigade headquarters, the transport squadron, and the rear guard squadron drove to the tiger wolf's den in an orderly manner.

The devil came out of the squadron leader and found that there was a hidden unit on the right side, so he hurriedly stopped the troops and launched fire reconnaissance. Sure enough, there was a counterattack by the Chinese army, and it was all submachine guns. This must be the elite unit of the Chinese army! The leader of the devil squadron was overjoyed and hurriedly reported.

Then it was found that some people in the Chinese army were carrying briefcases, and some were carrying radios. Haha, it must be a high-ranking official of China, at least a high-level reconnaissance unit!

However, the Chinese army of several dozen people had very strong firepower, and was fully equipped with light machine guns, submachine guns, and grenadiers, so it was very difficult to attack. Then the captain of the devil brigade, Ogawa Tomori, also rushed over and asked to catch him alive as much as possible.

A platoon of Wu Mu's army finally couldn't stand it, so it had to cover the retreat alternately. As soon as Ogawa Tomori saw the fighting quality of the Shina Army, there was no doubt that he would be the elite of the Shina Army, and ordered 3 squadrons to copy from Sanba, and the leader of the Shina Army must be captured alive.

Then, the Chinese army also came to reinforce the army, but it was only a few dozen people, although the firepower increased a lot, but after all, there were only one hundred and ten people, and if a few hundred imperial troops let this high-ranking official run away, it would be too shameless! Ogawa Tomori launched a fierce attack, shook off heavy firepower, and pursued lightly.

Finally forced the Shina army to a dead end, and the Shina army with its back against the cliff could no longer run!

Wu Mujun had no choice but to fight on his back, using rocks, trees and other terrain to block the attack. Suddenly, a rope net was thrown down the mountain, and Wu Mujun climbed up the cliff in alternate cover.

Ogawa Tomori's troops were also unambiguous, and ordered to shoot at the Takemu army on the cliff, killing several Shina soldiers.

Suddenly, a batch of grenades fell from the cliff, and the devil was dizzy. Ogawa Tomori felt that he was in an ambush and hurriedly retreated! Wu Mujun under the cliff took the opportunity to drag the rope net and climb up the cliff.

Ogawa Tomori felt that he had been tricked again, and the Shina army was bluffing, so he no longer asked for the capture alive, and ordered the mortars to bombard the back of the mountain. The mountain also threw grenades to shoot back.

Ogawa Tomori thought that the big men of the Shina army must be retreating along the back of the hillside, and the Shina army on the hill was all guards covering the big guys, so he ordered the two infantry guns and two mortars of the artillery and the mortars attached to each squadron to cover the back of the mountain and shoot at the back of the mountain, and at the same time the infantry was divided into two roundabout pursuits on both sides of the mountain, and the infantry in front climbed the cliff under the cover of fire to attack.

On the mountain is a company of Liu Qinghe's first battalion, with a platoon on each side of the hill and a platoon, with the help of natural bunkers to block the attack of the devils with grenades, and when they saw that the devils were planning to climb with the rope nets they left, they arranged for a few soldiers to pour kerosene along the rope nets, and when enough devils climbed up, they ignited the rope nets, and half of the devils in the squad were thrown to death.

Ogawa Higashi saw that he was too disadvantaged to attack under the cliff, so he adjusted the attack distance and withdrew the soldiers under the cliff. Seeing the situation, Wu Mujun threw a large number of grenades, and at the same time, the grenadiers also fired at the devils behind, and also blew up one mortar in front of the devils. The condescending terrain multiplied the range of grenades and grenadiers, giving them the effect of covering bombardment.

Ogawa Tomori finally understood, where is this the guard of the high-ranking officials of the Zhina, it is clearly the blocking of the Zhina people, otherwise they would have retreated a long time ago, and they can't be so resolutely blocked. Ogawa Tomori ordered to leave one squadron to attract the fire of the Shina people, and the other troops attacked in a detour.

Ogawa Tomori's imagination and fighting spirit are worthy of admiration, and he is still thinking about attacking. However, the commander of the first battalion led two infantry companies, with the cooperation of the heavy machine gun company, down the riverbed of a small river, separated the infantry and artillery squads, heavy machine gun squadrons, and transport teams of the Xiaochuan Brigade, and used six heavy machine guns and an infantry platoon to block the return of the Devil's infantry, while other troops used strong melee fire to attack the Devil's artillery, heavy machine gun, and transport brigade.

Ogawa Tomori completely understood that he fell into the trap of the Shina people and hurriedly asked his boss for help.

Liu Qinghe ordered a battalion to let go of a way out for the devils to break through, and then followed and killed. The commander of the first battalion was very reluctant, but still had to carry out the order.

Ogawa Dongsheng seized Liu Qinghe's offensive "empty time" to break out of the encirclement, and was covered all the way and fled back to the stronghold, leaving only two squadrons of infantry and some artillery, heavy machine gunners, and transport troops of more than 400 stragglers, heavy machine guns and artillery were completely lost, and most of the vehicles and materials were lost.

Liu Qinghe was teaching the first battalion commander: "Why are you so dead-eyed? Fighting around the devils, he is stubbornly holding on to the rest of his work, although he can completely annihilate the devils, but how many casualties do we have to generate? We are alone, what about so many wounded? Chase the devil and fight and fish for more equipment, how affordable this is! Remember, we are robbers now, not regular troops, and more fishing is the only way to win, remember? ”

……

The rout of the Ogawa Brigade still attracted the attention of the new commander of the 11th Army of the Devils, Kazuichiro Sonobe, who had no choice but to free up troops to clear out the troops that were planning a bigger plan, so he had to order Liu Qing and the surrounding troops to strengthen their vigilance.

Liu Qinghe got cheap and sold well, and sent a number of small troops to attack, attack strongholds, pull out artillery towers, and loot transport teams, and made a lot of benefits, and the distribution to the surrounding anti-Japanese forces was of course recorded in the accounts of the Fifth War Zone.

When the garden department and Ichiro completed the deployment, they began to clean up Liu Qinghe's small base area, so as not to disrupt the entire deployment.

Liu Qinghe received a report from the special service battalion and the cavalry battalion, and learned that the surrounding devils mobilized troops, which was probably aimed at himself, and he had already fished out the claws in this area, and there was no oil and water, so he decided to evacuate Hanchuan and choose another place with oil and water.

Liu Qinghe sent a report to the headquarters of the Fifth Theater Commander, asking for instructions on the next place to be stationed.

At this time, Li Zongren was busy completing the deployment of the Military Commission and launching a counterattack against the troops in Jiangbei of the 11th Army of the Devils, and the 8 group armies of the Third Route Army, more than 20 armies or guerrilla columns, and the Jiangfang Headquarters, a total of more than 50 divisions and brigade-level combat units needed Li Zongren's dispatch and command. Then from this area to the south, that is, (to) the enemy of Guangshui, Yingshan or Garden, and Anlu...... Suppression threatens the enemy's rear base area of Hankow".

Liu Qinghe saw that it was too far away from Tang Enbo's 31st Group Army, and the devils were about to encircle and suppress it, so he simply led his troops north to meet Tang Enbo's 31st Group Army.

Because Liu Qinghe did not belong to the battle sequence of the Fifth Theater, the radio could only communicate directly with the Fifth Theater Commander's Department, and could not communicate directly with other troops.

Liu Qinghe was very lucky this time, he thought that the devil would be heavily guarded on the highway, but he didn't expect that the devil's defense on the highway was useless because of the lack of troops.

At the beginning, Liu Qinghe carefully divided the troops into three routes: the middle road took the road, with the cavalry battalion as the vanguard, and the anti-tank battalion followed, followed by the artillery battalion, the baggage battalion, the health team, and the police battalion, and the first battalion at the rear; The second and third battalions are the vanguard of the left and right roads, and the air defense battalion, engineer battalion, and special service battalion are separated, and the second and third battalions march in turn.

The cavalry battalion reported that the devil's stronghold was found in front, about a squad, and there seemed to be supplies in the stronghold, so please give the order to attack.

Liu Qinghe ordered the cavalry battalion to fight in infantry form to reduce horse losses.

The cavalry battalion sent a platoon to quickly detour behind the devil's stronghold, and then launched a frontal infantry attack, using light and heavy machine guns to attract the devil's attention, and the rear platoon raided into the stronghold, resolving the battle without a single casualty. Large quantities of grain and oil were seized.

Liu Qinghe couldn't bring so many supplies, so after replenishing supplies, he took away most of the weapons and ammunition, found a few caves for other equipment and food, and took out some food and exchanged it with the local people for a batch of chicken, duck, fish, cooking oil, brown sugar, and white sugar to improve the food for the troops.

When the devil received that the supply depot was lost, he hurriedly sent a squadron to rescue by truck, and found that the Wumu army was strong, so he retreated without a fight.

Sonobe and Ichiro didn't want to eliminate this Chinese army, but they couldn't disrupt the overall deployment because of small losses, so they had to order the garrison troops along the road to strengthen their vigilance and protect supplies.

Seeing that the garrison on the Guizi Highway was so empty, Liu Qinghe hurriedly reported to the Fifth Theater Commander's Department, requesting that guerrillas be sent to raid and plunder, and at the same time send a cavalry battalion to speed up their march with one company each of the second and third battalions to loot supplies.

Li Zongren didn't want to crack down on the devil's transportation line, but the ** troops were not good at guerrilla warfare and did not dare to infiltrate in great depth, and even the plan to go south arranged by the Military Commission was a mere formality to deal with errands, and there was no progress for a long time; However, the opportunity could not be lost, Li Zongren authorized Liu Qinghe to integrate the surrounding guerrillas and seize a large number of materials, and at the same time informed Tang Enbo's 31st Group Army and Wang Juxu's 29th Group Army that the mobile brigade of the Wumu Army in front had seized a large amount of materials, hoping to send troops to attack and advance and receive supplies, in order to inspire Tang Enbo and Wang Juxu to carry out the order to attack Hanyang.

Tang Enbo knew Li Zongren's intentions very well, and since he was a descendant of the Central Army and was not short of food, food and ammunition, he sent a company to infiltrate behind enemy lines to deal with the commander's headquarters.

Wang Juxu also understood Li Zongren's purpose, but the current situation of the miscellaneous army's lack of guns and ammunition made Wang Jixu unable to resist the temptation of a large amount of food and ammunition, and sent two regiments to meet Liu Qinghe.

Liu Qinghe's follow-up troops simply became a convoy. The cavalry and infantry detachments in front seized a large amount of supplies, including food, weapons, ammunition, medicine, and oil, and the guerrillas from all over the country also came out of the mountains to fight the autumn breeze, and there was a lot of light with them, and some simply followed Liu Qinghe, and Liu Qinghe's troops expanded by more than 2,000 people. Liu Qinghe did not have time to reorganize and train the newly recruited troops, so he was mixed into various infantry battalions, baggage battalions, and health teams, and at the same time served as a guide for the mobile brigade.

Wang Juxu's two regiments arrived first, and Liu Qinghe allocated them four mortars, 10 heavy machine guns, 18 light machine guns, 21 grenadiers, more than 400 Type 38 rifles, more than 60 southern-style pistols, and a large amount of ammunition, food, and medicine, which greatly increased the combat strength of the two regiments. Of course, Wang Zhuxu also owes Liu Qinghe 30,000 yuan, and the miscellaneous troops are willing to spend money to buy equipment, not to mention that they have picked up a big bargain this time!

Tang Enbo's company was late, not to mention that the 31st Group Army equipped with German weapons did not need Japanese-made weapons at all, and only received a batch of explosives, grenades, and some food and medicine, and Tang Enbo also owed Liu Qinghe 5,000 oceans.

These troops had a long way to return to the building, and the risk was also great, so they marched with Liu Qinghe.

The devil's transportation line was plundered by Liu Qinghe and blocked the communication line, and Sonobe Kazuichiro couldn't bear it anymore, so he sent the passing devil Luye United to defeat this branch army by the way, and then go to carry out the established task.
