On the Wuhu side, the devils focused on defending Wuhu Port, so tanks and armored vehicles were deployed in Wuhu Port, but Niu Daojia's armored brigade launched an attack on Wuhu City.

The armored troops hit the city like a steel needle stabbing tofu, and the fierce artillery fire smashed the fortifications of the devil's city to pieces, and because of the battle to block the Yangtze River waterway, Niu Daojia only had 9 tanks and 2 armored vehicles left to break through the city.

The devil had no choice but to transfer the chariot troops back to defense. 6 were destroyed by Niu Daojia's two anti-tank battalions of 54 25mm anti-aircraft guns in the first round, and the other tanks cleverly hid behind the destroyed tanks, Wu Zhen's cavalry immediately rushed into the tank group, and directly fired at the lookout holes and shooting holes with long shotguns, capturing 14 tanks and 10 armored vehicles.

Niu Daojia immediately divided a part of the armored corps, using the devil's tanks and anti-aircraft guns, to bombard Wuhu City.

The devil soon couldn't support it, and it happened that the Suwan brigade attacking Nanling passed by, and Niu Daojia forcibly intercepted two infantry battalions to assist.

Under the cover of the fire of the armored brigade, the cavalry brigade finally broke through the city defense position in Wuhu and quickly widened the gap, allowing 12 armored vehicles to cover the two infantry battalions assisting the breakthrough into the city. Wu Zhen ordered the cavalry brigade to retreat, and the tank and anti-tank battalions of Niu Daojia's department turned to attack Wuhu Port, and Wuhu City was commanded by Niu Daojia.

The devil really sent planes to support, and the air defense brigade immediately joined the battle to block the devil's planes.

Wu Zhen contacted the sailor brigade to attack Wuhu Port. The motorized speedboats of the sailor brigade immediately burst into the waters of Wuhu Port like wolves, striking at surface ships and driving most of the ships on the river away from the waters of Wuhu Port; Wu Zhen took advantage of the situation to command the cavalry brigade, the tank port freight yard, and started a melee with the devils.

During the fierce battle in Wuhu, the Suwan Brigade of the Wumu Army also arrived at Nanling to attack. The devil's rapid-fire cannon had little effect on the infantry, and was pressed by the Wumu army in the city and the beasts were still fighting.

With the intervention of the Wu Mu army and the expansion of the war, Nishio Shouzo also personally paid attention to the war in southern Anhui and participated in the command. He ordered the wing attacking Ningguo and the two wings on the outer line of Xuancheng to gather and assemble, counterattack to Wuhu Port, and at the same time cut off the retreat of the Suwan Brigade of the Wumu Army attacking Nanling.

At this time, the 3 divisions of ** were out of danger, and they should take advantage of the situation to counterattack, cooperate with the Wumu army, launch a comprehensive counterattack, and expand the results, but the **3 divisions quickly retreated to the original defense area, putting the Wumu army into a passive situation: a wing of the devil outflanked the Suwan brigade in Nanling, and separated the Suwan brigade group commanded by Ke Hua and the cavalry armored group commanded by Wu Zhen, and the other two wings surrounded Wu Zhen's cavalry armored group with the Wuhu defenders.

Wang Yilang got revenge and secretly regretted it, which is simply a classic interpretation of the story of the farmer and the snake. had no choice but to report to Zhao Dahu, commander of the garrison headquarters.

Zhao Dahu has also been paying attention to the battle situation in southern Anhui, and has already seen the situation clearly, he immediately ordered Wang Yilang to organize a reserve to take over Wuhu Port nearby, and take over the command of Wu Zhen in the direction of Wuhu; At the same time, Ke Hua's command in Nanling was clarified, and he was ordered to quickly withdraw from Nanling, break through the outflanking of the devils on the outside line, advance in the direction of Gaochun, and flank the devils who returned to Wuhu.

Ke Hua's heavy artillery brigade did not all go out to attack Nanling, only 36 mountain guns, plus 12 light and mobile anti-aircraft guns of the anti-tank brigade, plus 4 infantry battalions, which were enough to tear apart the devil's defense line and cut off the devil's attack on Wuhu, and the two sides started a melee on the Xuanwu line.

While commanding the front-line battle, Zhao Dahu asked Tuesday to contact the commander's department of the Third Theater and asked the retreating ** to participate in the battle in southern Anhui and expand the results, but Shangguan Yunxiang replied in the name of the General Staff of the Third Theater: The withdrawn troops suffered heavy casualties and were unable to fight again, and other troops were heading to the combat area.

After Zhao Dahu got the news of the reply from the ** side, he sighed: "The wolf of Zhongshan can't be handed over!" Then the troops were ordered to withdraw to their original defense areas.

In this battle, although the troops of the first 3 divisions were rescued, the Wu Mu army suffered more than 1,700 casualties, consumed a large number of guns, ammunition, equipment and materials, and captured a large number of cities that should have been captured but gained nothing.

So, on Tuesday, Gou, Zhao Dahu, Wang Yilang, and Ke Hua jointly accused Shangguan Yunxiang of ineffective command and blind movement of the army, and borrowed a knife to kill people and harm friendly troops!

The chairman of the committee secretly praised Shangguan Yunxiang's actions, but he had to make an official article: reprimanded Shangguan Yunxiang for his ineffective command, blind movement and misguided army, and evacuated the 32nd Group Army under his headquarters; At the same time, explain to Wu Mujun that ** has no intention of borrowing a knife to kill people and harm friendly troops!

Of course, Wu Mujun did not buy it, and demanded that practical actions be taken to compensate Wu Mujun: 1. Shangguan Yunxiang must bring all the general-level officers of the rescued ** unit to personally pay tribute to the martyrs who died in the rescue; 2. Impose military law on Shangguan Yunxiang; 3. Compensate the Wu Mu Army for the pension of 1 million oceans for the dead in battle; Fourth, the 32nd Group Army must compensate the Wu Mu Army with the equipment of three divisions, total: 36 artillery pieces of 75mm or above, 36 rapid-fire guns, 36 anti-aircraft guns, 144 mortars, 72 20mm machine guns, 216 heavy machine guns, 972 light machine guns, 12,000 medium and formal rifles, 1,200 shell guns, 50,000 grenades, 360 trucks, 120 motorcycles, 1,800 carts, 6,000 pack horses, and 1 million catties of grain.

When the chairman saw Wu Mujun's list of requests for compensation, he scolded again: "Niang Xipi, this is ripping bamboo!" It's a robbery while it's hot! But because of the loss in the first place, he could only send He Yingqin to come forward and euphemistically say that if there is any objection, he can discuss again.

On Tuesday, Gou, Zhao Dahu, Shi Jilun, and Zeng Qi urgently discussed and withdrew all the exchange troops and arsenal branches sent by Wu Mujun to **.

Liu Qinghe's troops marched south to the Ninth War Zone, preparing to join the Jingyukun troops going north in Tongcheng, and when they reached the Honghu area, they were stopped by Chen Cheng's Sixth War Zone, and used many pretexts to prevent Liu Qinghe's troops from crossing the river and heading south.

Zhao Dahu sent Wan Zixiong's troops back to Xishan to the west to meet Liu Qinghe's troops, Jing Yukun's troops were on standby in Tongcheng, and if necessary, the three brigades were commanded by Jing Yukun, and they would converge together or march eastward by separate routes, regardless of the nationalized areas and Japanese-occupied areas all the way, and return to Xishan by the nearest route.

When the chairman of the committee saw that the dog played the "second pole" on Tuesday, he was also really worried: First, after the New Fourth Army had just been cleared and suppressed, it violated the order and made chaos, and then there was internal strife with the Wu Mu Army, and the overall situation of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression was bound to become a plate of scattered sand; Second, although Tuesday Dog does not listen to the dispatch of the government, it has never opposed the government and is bent on resisting Japan, unlike GCD and the government in the same bed and dream; Thirdly, the arsenals and teaching teams of the Wumu Army in various theaters have been of great benefit to the theaters and have an excellent reputation. Fourth, the Wumu army is very strong, and once the situation expands, the defense line of the Yangtze River, especially the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, will inevitably be in chaos, giving the Japanese army an opportunity to take advantage of.

After thinking about it, the chairman decided to downplay the contradiction between Wu Mujun and the Third War Zone, or to be precise, with Shangguan Yunxiang. He sent He Yingqin, chief of the General Staff, to personally mediate and coordinate, and finally used the state government to compensate Wu Mujun with 5,000 tons of oil, and privately promised to elevate and refrigerate Shangguan Yunxiang, so as to preserve the dignity of the Military Commission and end the dispute. He also ordered Chen Cheng to release Liu Qinghe's troops and escort them across the river to meet Jing Yukun and Liu Maoer's troops.

Pressing the gourd to float the scoop, the friction between Wang Yilang and Shangguan Yunxiang had just subsided, and Liu Chenghai and Han Deqin had another dispute.

Liang Zisheng was appointed by Liu Chenghai as the captain of the special service brigade after Liu Maoer left, commanding 3 special operations battalions, which were directly under the Jiangbei Command, and He Shixin also accumulated merit to the deputy battalion commander.

He Shixin has a contact point in Jiangyan, which is the sister and brother-in-law of Dou Zhengwu, who died in Yaowang Town, and is also a member of the Wumu caravan, running a grocery store. Because of Dou Zhengwu, Liang Zisheng took great care of the two and worshiped Dou Zhengwu's sister Dou Caixia as his godmother.

Dou Caixia has two daughters and a son, the eldest daughter Zhen Jinhuan, 18 years old, just married, the youngest daughter Zhen Ruyi, 15 years old, helps the family take care of business, and son Zhen Ganghu, 9 years old. The incident started with Dou Caixia's youngest daughter.

Han Deqin's guard captain Jin Fugui fell in love with 15-year-old Zhen Ruyi and wanted to marry Zhen Ruyi to be young. Dou Caixia looked down on Han Deqin's subordinates from the bottom of her heart, not to mention that the child was still young, so she directly blasted Jin Fugui out.

Jin Fugui was so entangled with his dead face that he came to make trouble every once in a while. The Wumu caravan is not easy to mess with, several people from the Wumu caravan beat Jin Fugui fiercely, if it weren't for Jin Fugui's sake, at least this kid would have to be castrated.

However, Jin Fugui was annoyed and angry, and even led people to shoot Dou Caixia's family and her eldest daughter, son-in-law, old and young to death in broad daylight, and occupied the grocery store in the name of confiscating the traitor's property.

Because of the people involved, the Wumu caravan did not dare to act rashly for the action of killing people, so they reported to Liang Zisheng. He Shixin was anxious when he heard this, and rushed to Jiangyan with the strange light style.

Jin Fugui and several of his subordinates were taking inventory of goods at the grocery store, and were put down by He Shixin, who shot at the door.

Jin Fugui can be Han Deqin's guard captain is not a wreck, the two shell guns are also a hundred steps through Yang, and his subordinates are also extraordinary, so they immediately took out their guns and fired back.

But He Shixin came desperately, and he was shot desperately with three shots, but Jin Fugui's subordinates were reluctant to fight with their lives, and were soon killed by He Shixin, only Jin Fugui escaped by a bullet through his cheeks, and He Shixin chased after him.

Jin Fugui was forced to be in a hurry, so he had to flee into Han Deqin's headquarters, He Shixin also followed and broke in, the guards naturally stopped him, and He Shixin killed him without hesitation, and then broke straight in.

Jin Fugui thought that he had a helper, and organized the personnel to fight back, He Shixin fell into a desperate situation, and he was still hiding in the corner and fighting the beast.

Soon, He Shixin's subordinates also arrived, and quickly surrounded Han Deqin's headquarters, killing everyone and capturing them, including Han Deqin and other high-ranking officers and Jin Fugui.

He Shixin walked out bloodily, counted the 11 gunshot wounds on his body, and then announced to Han Deqin and others who were trembling: "There is a debtor who is wronged, Jin Fugui robbed the people's daughters, sought money and killed them, and failed to marry the people's daughters, and even killed 7 people, and forcibly occupied people's property, plus I was shot 11 times, all of which must be recorded in Jin Fugui's account, so, 7 people and 11 shots, I want to shoot him 18 times!" ”

He Shixin asked his subordinates to hang Jin Fugui at the entrance of Han Deqin's headquarters, retreated 30 meters by himself, and smashed Jin Fugui's shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees, and ankles 12 joints, palms and insteps 4 places, and finally two shots and one shot rubbed a blood groove on the top of Jin Fugui's head, and knocked off the parts he caused trouble. Then led people to swagger out of Jiangyan, and the defenders were shocked by He Shixin's murderous aura and put down their guns in a daze.

This time, Wu Mujun became the defendant. Han Deqin reported Wu Mujun to the Military Commission, and Wu Mujun's subordinate troops invaded the Jiangsu Provincial Government without permission, killed 17 guards, killed 7 guards of the Sulu Theater Command in Jiangyan City, and tortured and killed Jin Fugui, the captain of the guards, at the headquarters.

The hot potato was stuffed into He Yingqin's hand again.

The investigation team of the Military Commission came to Han Deqin's department, and Han Deqin plugged a lot of benefits; Liu Chenghai did not accept this, first forcefully refused the request of the investigation team of the Military Commission to arrest He Shixin, and then sent a captain to supervise the investigation of the investigation team of the Military Commission.

The people of the Military Commission did not receive the benefits of Liu Chenghai and He Shixin, and when they returned to the Military Commission, they went so far as to say that the soldiers of the Wumu Army were ferocious, gathered to make trouble, and harassed friendly troops.

He Yingqin didn't believe it, and sent an investigation team again, and the conclusion was still the same, so he ordered Tuesday that the dog army was loose and that it must be strictly rectified; handed over the murderer He Shixin to justice, and his chief Liang Zisheng was removed from office and punished.

Liang Zisheng was furious when he got the news, and with Liu Chenghai's acquiescence, he not only surrounded and occupied Han Deqin's headquarters again, but also controlled the entire Jiangyan City, called all the parties and witnesses, and asked He Yingqin to investigate in person.

The chairman of the committee was also furious, these bandits are simply lawless, and they dare to repeatedly harass the ** high command and detain senior generals, if they are not dealt with strictly, where is the military law! He directly ordered Tuesday Dog to bring the mutineers to justice in order to establish military discipline.

On Tuesday, the dog called back: The public officials of the state government have bent the law for bribes and provoked a mutiny, and there is really a reason for the incident, please ask the chairman of the committee to investigate in detail, return justice to me, and our ministry will enforce military discipline to serve the people.

Without waiting for the chairman to call back, the situation changed again: Liang Zisheng saw that the Sulu Theater had dispatched troops and launched an encirclement of Jiangyan, so he led more than 2,000 people from his headquarters to withdraw from Jiangyan and join Chen Yi of the New Fourth Army, and also took away more than 1,000 officers and soldiers of Jiangyan.

On Tuesday, the dog reported and urgently notified the Military Commission, and stated that the mutinous officers and soldiers were Wu Mujun's brothers, and it was impossible for them to pursue and suppress them, and they were not allowed to pursue and suppress them because of the incident, and they would wait for the Military Commission to find out the truth of the incident and then decide how to deal with it.

The Xishan Self-Rescue Association also sent a telegram to the Military Commission: If the officers and men of the subordinate units of the Wu Mu Army made trouble without reason, flouted military law, and committed chaos, Wu Mu Jun would be willing to accept any punishment from top to bottom; If the government personnel bend the law for personal gain, the government must severely punish all those who bend the law, and return justice to the Wu Mu army, and the Wu Mu army should recall the rebels, bring them to justice, or pursue them to the end.

When the chairman of the committee received a telegram from the Dog and the Xishan Self-Rescue Association on Tuesday, he was immediately deflated, he knew too well the quality of his subordinates, and the two groups of nearly 100 people, if they were punished, would involve the interests of all sides, and it would also be detrimental to the anti-Japanese war plan.

The matter had no choice but to be settled.

Chen Yi got a force of more than 3,000 people for no reason, and he was not elated, he knew that this army was wild and untamable, and the combat power was fierce, but it was difficult to integrate into the disciplined and bitter battle sequence of the New Fourth Army for a while, and it was a rebel army in name, so he first gave Liang Zisheng a small base area for training, and while transferring back a part of the instructors in the Wumu Army, communicating with Liang Zisheng's department, gradually expanding the party organization, and grasping this force, temporarily named the Jiangbei Anti-Japanese Independent Detachment, nominally a local armed force, and the New Fourth Army as an anti-Japanese coalition army.

For the time being, there is no political commissar in the Jiangbei Anti-Japanese Independent Detachment, and only Yin Huazhang, the deputy director of the instructor who was originally Liu Maoer in Jiangbei, will serve as the deputy detachment leader and chief liaison officer; because Liang Zisheng's unit has strong mobility, strong combat effectiveness, and eclectic combat methods, it often has to fight across regions, so it is necessary to have people from the New Fourth Army to be responsible for liaising with various departments of the New Fourth Army and coordinating with each other.

Liang Zisheng's department has become a trump card in Chen Yi's hands: in terms of plundering firearms, ammunition, materials and equipment, Liang Zisheng's subordinates can get a company's equipment in half a month and a half; In terms of training, a company trained by Liang Zisheng's men for a month can take a stronghold that a battalion could not take in the past; What Chen Yi is most satisfied with is that these people have captured a group of devil captives, and they will soon be able to tame the imperial soldiers who have been brainwashed by militarism, but the means are a little unacceptable; In terms of procurement, these officers and men, who were originally named after the procurement battalion, were able to obtain Western medicines, equipment, and raw materials that were in short supply through unexpected channels and methods. What Chen Yi can't stand most about this army is that ---- is too greedy and wants to eat meat every day.

Fortunately, these people brought a large number of urgently needed materials to the units of the New Fourth Army, or solved the difficult bones, so everywhere they went, all the troops slaughtered chickens and sheep. Later, Liang Zisheng was also embarrassed to always grab the limited meals of other troops, so he simply let his wounded soldiers set up a breeding farm in the base area, mainly raising grassed ducks, geese, rabbits, sheep, and cattle, and not raising chickens and pigs that cost grain.

Liang Zisheng has not forgotten the old army Wu Mujun, every time there is a capture, there is a share of Wu Mujun, and he has always remembered that everything he has come from Wu Mujun.

Through several unpleasant interactions with **, Tuesday Dog and others deeply realized that ** was not credible, although there were a group of iron-blooded soldiers, but there were too many dirty moths and shameless politicians, so they gradually resumed contacts with the New Fourth Army.

The Military Commission was also aware of the fact that the dog began to look at the New Fourth Army on Tuesday, although the chairman also knew that it was his subordinates who did not make a face, which made Wu Mujun feel cold, but after all, Wu Mujun was wild and untamable, lawless, and sooner or later it would also be a scourge of the country.

As a result, the Military Commission and Wu Mujun became more and more distrustful of each other, and the estrangement became deeper and deeper, but fortunately, the devil launched the Shanggao Campaign again, temporarily bridging the gap between the Military Commission and Wu Mujun.
