Dai Li then also found Tuesday Dog, and once again emphasized that no matter where Wu Mujun goes, the chairman of the committee is regarded as a soldier, but he must pay attention to keeping a distance from the New Fourth Army and **, and then "by the way" proposed that the "South China Ghost Force" established by Liu Maoer has now been officially named the "South China Navy Guerrilla Force", and now the whale flying mines have been exhausted, and I hope to add some.

For Dai Li, Tuesday Dog has always been regarded as a brother who can be trusted, so he will take care of what he has entrusted and promise to prioritize it.

Back in Xishan, on Tuesday Gou personally ordered Shi Jilun to give priority to arranging for the South China Navy guerrillas to deliver flying mines, and use Chennault's air force to carry out airdrops, and the [***] side settled with fuel, machine parts, explosives and other materials before convening the staff committee.

At the staff meeting, on Tuesday, the chairman of the committee and Dai Li's intentions were conveyed to the senior leaders, and everyone was silent for a while before they began to express their opinions.

Zhao Dahu and Xiang Qingyun think that whoever can fight side by side will cooperate with whom, Wu Mujun doesn't need to look at anyone's face!

Shi Jilun and Zeng Qi believe that after all, Wu Mujun has great potential for cooperation, and he still has to take care of the balance between the two aspects, so he still has to make some gestures to ensure that Wu Mujun is left and right in the gap between the two sides of the contradiction.

The General Staff Committee finally decided to withdraw Zhao Chongshan's division from the Sixth Division of the New Fourth Army and merge it with the special operations battalion on the south bank of the Qiantang River to form the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Reading Regiment, which was responsible for the transportation lines between Xishan and Zhoushan; In view of the fact that a large number of local administrative officials and political training officers have been trained in the guerrilla areas of the Wumu Army, the instructors of the New Fourth Army were returned and a batch of weapons and ammunition were presented to express their gratitude. The guerrilla base areas opened up in cooperation with various units of the New Fourth Army were gradually stripped away and defense areas were demarcated......

The New Fourth Army also felt that Wu Mujun's attitude had changed, and it also speculated about the reasons and background of its changes, so it also made corresponding adjustments, and its relationship with Wu Mujun was in a state of imminent separation, but the arms deal with Wu Mujun was still carried out one nail at a time.

After the issue with the New Fourth Army was resolved, on Tuesday Dog proposed to the chairman to accept the chairman's proposal. As a result, the Military Commission quickly issued an appointment: the former Third Theater Southern Jiangsu Garrison Command was changed to the Wumu Group Army, and the defense areas were northern Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Anhui, and Hubei-Anhui-Jiangxi border regions, and the commander-in-chief of the group army was Zhou Wumu, with the rank of lieutenant general and general, Zhao Dahu, deputy commander-in-chief, and Xiang Qingyun, chief of staff......

After receiving the appointment order, the dog shook his head on Tuesday: The transfer of the Soviet Union, northern Jiangsu, central Anhui, and northern Anhui controlled by the New Fourth Army to the defense area of the Wumu Group Army is obviously to provoke friction between the Wumu Army and the New Fourth Army.

On Tuesday, the dog was already well fed, but it was not good to have disputes with the surrounding friendly forces so that he did not expand his territory wantonly, and now with the sword of Shang Fang of the Military Commission, he began to open up the base area with great fanfare.

First of all, the equipment was replaced, and the mobile corps was completely reequipped. The artillery brigade was reequipped and changed to 1 Foguang Flying Thunder Battalion and 27 Foguang Flying Thunder Battalions; 2 Rainstorm Flying Thunder Battalions, each battalion with 27 Rainfall Flying Thunders; Each battalion is equipped with 1 air defense company and 1 joint logistics company; The tanks of the armored brigade are equipped with meteor thunderbolts, and the armored vehicles are equipped with thunderstorms; The cavalry brigade was converted into a single-shot rain thunderbolt and meteor thunderbolt; The anti-armor air defense brigade was converted into a jeep vehicle carrying thunderstorms and meteors...... The modified mobile corps became the largest firepower group on the Chinese battlefield; The 105mm and 75mm guns of the original artillery brigade were transferred to the garrison corps, and the artillery brigade of the garrison corps was established, with Wang Yilang concurrently serving as the captain of the brigade, and it was deployed on the front line of Guangde, Wuxing, and Changzhou, and the 90-150mm mortars and 70mm Type 92 infantry guns were distributed to the guerrillas......

Wu Mujun changed his clothes and started the battle at the same time.

Zhang Tiehu commanded two Tianyu Flying Thunder Battalions of the Artillery Mobile Brigade to enter Zhang Tielong's Jiangnan guerrilla detachment with their own equipment and a batch of mortars and infantry guns, and wantonly attacked the city and uprooted the villages in the mountains on the south bank of the Yangtze River, merging the guerrilla areas into a base area.

Zhang Tiehu led the Tianyu Flying Thunder Battalion to sweep along the south bank of the Yangtze River and assist Zhang Tielong's troops in taking the devil's stronghold.

In Tongling, Zhang Tiehu took the lead in a bombardment, scared a large number of puppet troops into killing the devils and supervising the surrender of their guns, and then approached Tongling City with the rapid advantage of jeeps to bombard the artillery positions of the devils, while the guerrillas of Zhang Tielong's department bombarded the devil's infantry with newly issued mortars and infantry artillery. It is no wonder that in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, the [***] troops were defeated by the devils, and under the powerful artillery fire, rifles and machine guns were really weak!

Most of the devils in Tongling were annihilated, and some fled to Wuhu. Zhang Tiehu made persistent efforts to besiege Chizhou, but unexpectedly, the devils of Chizhou saw that the situation was not good and fled from the Yangtze River, Zhang Tiehu could only look at the river and sigh.

Seeing Zhang Tiehu's troops advancing westward all the way, the devil once again arranged heavy troops in Madang Fortress, and used 2 infantry brigades and 1 artillery brigade to intercept Xu Jiguang relying on the permanent fortifications of Changshan east of Madang.

Zhang Tiehu was not an ordinary person, commanding Zhang Tielong's guerrilla troops to feint an attack on Changshan, Zhang Tielong's troops attacked Changshan with all mortars and infantry artillery, exposing the artillery firepower of the devils, while Zhang Tiehu once again gave full play to the advantage of the long-distance attack of the jeep, bypassing the Taibai Lake opposite Madang and directly attacking the artillery positions behind the devil's flank.

The devil was defeated and retreated to Pengze, and Zhang Tielong's troops pursued and killed all the way.

At this time, Chennault felt that there was an opportunity to take advantage of the intelligence and sent aviation troops to launch air raids on Hukou and Pengze, and Zhang Tielong's troops took advantage of the situation to recover Hukou and Pengze.

Xu Jiguang's cavalry brigade went to Lu Yaohan's Hubei-Henan-Anhui guerrilla detachment, because most of Lu Yaohan's guerrilla area was in the water network area, so Xu Jiguang's cavalry carried heavy equipment quite conveniently, and if it was a heavy-duty army with trucks, it would be troublesome. First easily take the Lujiang, Tongcheng, Huaining, Qianshan, Taihu, Susong, Huangmei first-line mountains, and then to the river canal vertical and horizontal water network area to carry out the sweeping.

Chennault once again strongly supported the Wu Mu Army, and used the air force to attack Anqing and the surrounding Zongyang and Wangjiang rivers, and assisted the Wu Mu Army in completely controlling the more than 300 kilometers of the Yangtze River waterway from Wuhu to Hukou.

After more than a month of sweeping, the Wumu Group Army established a large base in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, completely eliminated the devil forces from Wuhu to Hukou, and enriched the troops after the reorganization of a puppet army, and sent it to the nearest [***], the New Fourth Army as a supplementary soldier, and the devil prisoners were escorted back to Xishan, the devil soldiers had a high level of education, and most of them were good workers in the factory, and the stubborn and rude and dull could also be sent to the mine to do coolies, Zhang Tiehu and Xu Jiguang had no loss except for consuming a batch of ammunition, After concentrated rest, it was arranged on the first line of Qichun and Xishui in the west of Dabie Mountain to deter the devils in the direction of Wuhan.

The growth of the strength of the Wu Mu Army would threaten the Yangtze River waterway, and as early as Hata Junroku expected, he activated the operational plan, on the one hand, launched the Battle of Henan-Xiang-Gui, opened up several major roads and communication lines of the Pinghan, Guangdong-Hanzhou, and Xiang-Guizhou railways, destroyed the air base of the China Army, and on the other hand, transferred back part of the navy and air force from Nanyang to recapture the Yangtze River waterway.

Shunroku Hahata took the lead in launching the Battle of Central Henan, mobilizing 7 divisions and regiments, 5 mixed brigades, 1 tank division, 1 cavalry brigade and other affiliated artillery and various units of the 12th Army with the commander of the devil Uchiyama Eitaro as the commander, and launched a fierce attack on the [***] First Theater of Operations. Jiang Dingwen and Tang Enbo in the first war zone were not only incompetent in command, but also intrigued, set up troops and harassed the people, and were defeated by the devils.

He Laifu's Hubei-Henan-Anhui Reading Division was placed by Li Zongren at the junction of the Fifth War Zone and the First War Zone in the Nanyang area, and under the condition of repeated defeats in the First War Zone, he was ordered to attack Xuchang to intercept the 12th Army of the North China Devils and the 11th Army of the Central China Devils.

He Laifu thought that he was unable to fight against a large number of devils with the strength of one division, so he asked Lu Yaohan's troops to go north to respond.

Lu Yaohan telegraphed Tuesday Dog for approval, and Tuesday Dog believed that it was the time for the Mobile Corps to show its skills to test the effect of the mobile corps' large-scale heavy firepower operations, so he ordered Li Jinshan and Lu Yaohan to be the chief and deputy commanders to form the Central Plains Column, and Li Jinshan commanded Wang Huankai's artillery brigade Foguang Feilei Battalion, Han Jinkui's armored brigade, and Liu Zhenjiang's mobile infantry detachment to cross the river from Dangtu and go straight to Guangshan along the eastern foothills of Hanshan, Hefei, and Lu'an Dabie Mountain; Lu Yaohan commanded Xu Jiguang's cavalry brigade and the Jiangbei guerrilla detachment to set out from Qichun and Xishui, and went north to Guangshan along the western foothills of Luotian, Macheng, Xinxian, and Shangcheng Dabie Mountain, and joined Li Jinshan's troops; Then along Xinyang, Queshan, Zhumadian, Luohe and He Laifu joined forces to attack Xuchang.

He Laifu ordered Wu Zhen to lead the cavalry brigade as the lead, Lu Qinghu's anti-armor brigade and Wan Zixiong's directly subordinate brigade followed, and Lu Qinghu led three infantry brigades to march quickly as backup.

In Fangcheng, Wu Zhen encountered the Fourth Brigade of the Devil Cavalry. The number of the Devil Cavalry Brigade is far superior to Wu Zhen's cavalry brigade, but Wu Zhen has his own clever plan.

Wu Zhen set up three cavalry brigades to support each other's three-talent formation, and the three brigades surrounded the joint logistics squadron and the firepower squadron in the middle, and used long shotguns and Qiguang submachine guns to block the devil cavalry's repeated charges on the periphery.

The Fourth Brigade of the Devil's Cavalry is the only existing cavalry unit of the Devil's Cavalry, and the other units have been changed to armored units, but the Devil's Cavalry Brigade is still equipped with heavy weapons such as armored vehicles and mountain artillery. Therefore, unlike small-scale cavalry operations, the devils used artillery bombardment to cover the mixed attack of armored troops and cavalry, and the intensity of the offensive was extraordinary.

Wu Zhen is also the master who only takes advantage of the advantages and does not suffer losses, he relies on his cavalry firepower is strong, so the troops are very scattered, and the artillery bombardment of the devils did not hurt the muscles and bones of the cavalry brigade, but the cluster charge of the devil's armor and cavalry brought a lot of pressure to Wu Zhen.

Wu Zhen commanded the long shotgun and the strange light submachine gun to put the devil cavalry close and fired. Because the cavalry attack speed is fast, so it is very risky to fire at close range, Wu Zhen relies on the fact that Wu Mujun has a large number of submachine guns, light machine guns and other automatic weapons, and the fire density of long shotguns is not bad, so he dares to fight at close range, and at the same time, it is also to attract devils' tanks and armored vehicles to approach the javelin flying thunder and meteor flying laser range of the cavalry brigade.

The devils lost more than a dozen tanks and armored vehicles, and 4 or 500 cavalry were killed and wounded, but they also failed to break through Wuzhen's defense line, and Lu Qinghu's anti-aircraft artillery brigade had also arrived.

In Xiangcheng, the devil who didn't know how to die actually took the initiative to attack He Laifubu. Liu Qinghe commanded an infantry brigade with 10 4 combined Buddha light flying thunder and a violent bombardment, the orderly attack formation of the devils scattered, and the devils who were full of corpses could not parry the attack of Liu Qinghe and Qiguang submachine guns and grenades, and also chased the devil cavalry troops to pinch the soft persimmons.

He Laifu did not love war, and waved his troops straight to Xuchang.

Li Jinshan's command of the troops all the way to Guangshan smoothly, but Lu Yaohan's department was indeed bumpy.

The devils in Wuhan saw that Lu Yaohan's department had made a move, and sent heavy troops to intercept it on the front line from Tuanfeng to Luotian. The devil's 3 infantry brigades and 1 field artillery brigade relied on the Bashui River and the hills behind it to block Lu Yaohan's department. The devil's 12 75mm mountain guns, dozens of infantry guns, mortars, rapid-fire guns, and dozens of heavy machine guns blocked several important ferry crossings.

Lu Yaohan commanded the infantry to deploy around the ferry, shooting at the devils while covering Xu Jiguang's troops. Xu Jiguang's cavalry bombarded the infantry position 100 meters away on the other side of the river with rain and thunder on the bank of the Bashui River, and the other made a detour to the upper reaches of the Bashui River.

Unexpectedly, the commander of the devil set up an ambush in the upper reaches of the Bashui River, which severely damaged Xu Jiguang's roundabout troops.

Xu Jiguang was furious, attacked and advanced with all his firepower, and finally crossed the Bashui River by force, and then was stopped by the second-line position of the devil with his back to the mountain.

Lu Yaohan ordered Xu Jiguang to use firepower to contain the devil's frontal troops, and once again used infantry to detour, although he did not fall into the ambush of the devil's ambush circle, but the flank of the detour also fell into a stalemate.

Just when Lu Yaohan and Xu Jiguang couldn't stop, the devil's rear killed all the way and disrupted the artillery position behind the devil, and Lu Yaohan attacked and commanded the troops to break through the devil's defense line.

The two guerrillas of the [***] Department of the New Fourth Army were the two guerrillas who responded to Lu Yaohan's department, and they had a little discussion with Li Jiakui, because Lu Yaohan's troops were all lightly armed and had no heavy equipment, so the guerrillas of the New Fourth Army led the way, bypassing the defense line behind the devils from the mountain road, and approaching Macheng.

The devils of Macheng did not expect that Lu Yaohan's divine soldiers would descend from the sky, and suddenly attacked the city, and were broken by Lu Yaohan's infantry under the cover of mortars and rapid-fire guns.

Lu Yaohan's department had already delayed the appointed time, so they hurriedly rushed to Guangshan after a little replenishment of supplies, and left the aftermath of Macheng to the guerrillas of the New Fourth Army.

The devils in Xinyang learned that the Wu Mu army was pressing the border, and hurriedly deployed defenses to prevent the Wu Mu army from attacking.

Li Jinshan used his troops to slippery, and as soon as his troops turned around, he used the armored brigade to open the way and rushed to Runan for a long time, followed by the artillery brigade and the cavalry brigade, followed by the infantry mobile detachment and the Jiangbei guerrilla detachment.

Runan was not worth mentioning the powerful Wu Mu army, and the soldiers swept through the river of blood. The devils who occupied Xuchang were about to turn west and surround Tang Enbo's corps, but when they saw the fierce Central Plains column of the Wumu army, they had to stay for the time being, which gave Tang Enbo's corps a chance to breathe.

Li Jinshan did not break through hard, and once again unexpectedly took down Shangcai, and then pointed directly at Zhoukoudian. Only then did the devils of Xuchang turn to the two heavy army groups of Tang Enbo and Jiang Dingwen in the west.

Li Jinshan's attack on Zhoukoudian was just a false shot, the armored brigade marched in the direction of Zhoukoudian, but the cavalry brigade attacked Luohe, and the artillery brigade followed, and the armored brigade turned around to keep up.

When the infantry arrived at Luohe, the armored brigade, artillery brigade, and cavalry brigade had already rested for nearly a day. However, Li Jinshan still let the infantry and other mobile units rest together for half a day, replenish fuel, overhaul vehicles and equipment, so that He Laifu outside Xuchang City was anxious, and the devil did not know why, so he ordered the troops around Luohe to take strict precautions.

Li Jinshan whetted the appetite of He Laifu and the devil, and then connected Yuncheng and Linying in a short assault way, and when the devil transferred troops back to Xuchang, Li Jinshan informed He Laifu to come back to Xiangcheng with a horse gun.

He Laifu comprehended, and easily went down to Xiangcheng again, waiting for Li Jinshan's Central Plains column.

At this time, in Luoyang, Yichuan, Dengfeng, and Linru, the devils had divided and surrounded Jiang Dingwen and Tang Enbo's heavy army groups, and the two sides fought for life and death to a fever pitch.

He Laifu went straight to the Yichuan devil with all his mobile troops, and Li Jinshan protected He Laifu's two wings and then followed.

He Laifubu opened the way with meteor flying thunder, directly blasted away the devil's front, tore a breakthrough for [***] in the Jiaxian encirclement, and then broke into the devil's front and killed. And Li Jinshan crossed Jiaxian and went straight to Linru.

The unlucky Fourth Brigade of the Devil Cavalry has just replenished its men, and has encountered Li Jinshan, a super killer. At this time, the Central Plains column suddenly became fast and ruthless, first the infantry launched a suicide attack, with a strange light submachine gun, a strange light rifle, a gun grenade, and a grenade to break into the devil cavalry group, Lu Yaohan found that in the face of a large number of automatic weapons devil cavalry is not as terrifying as imagined, the devil's cold and shining saber is just a scare ornament, and he can't rely on his own infantry at all.

However, the devil cavalry also has an advantage, that is, it is fast, and it quickly outflanks Lu Yaohan's infantry flanks. It's a pity that there is also Liu Zhenjiang's infantry mobile detachment behind Lu Yaohan, who mainly bombards with guns and grenades, and light machine guns, submachine guns and other weapons are only cover gun grenades.

The devil cavalry bullied the backward [***], and today they encountered a hard stubble, and immediately planned to retreat one after another, and then rely on the favorable terrain to block the infantry position, but Wang Huankai's artillery had already set up to shoot Zhu Yuan, blocking the devil's retreat, and the transcendence bombing of the Buddha light and thunder blew up the rear of the devil cavalry. At this time, the armored brigade and cavalry brigade on the east and west sides were also outflanked in place, and the powerful firepower completely disabled the fourth brigade of the devil cavalry, and only a small part of the troops escaped from the gap between the artillery fire and the armored brigade and the cavalry brigade.

Li Jinshan left the infantry of Lu Yaohan's department to deal with a large number of horse meat, and he commanded the armored brigade, cavalry brigade, and artillery brigade to kill Yichuan non-stop.

From Linru to Yichuan is the defense area of the 3rd Division of the Devil's Chariot, so the two sides entered a fierce battle as soon as they came up.

The devil found that the mechanized troops of the Chinese army gathered more than 300 tanks and armored vehicles to surround the Central Plains column, and launched an attack and interception.

Li Jinshan did not show weakness, first bombed the devil chariot cluster with the Foguang flying thunder of the artillery brigade, and then launched a counterattack with the armored brigade, and the cavalry brigade sniped the devil chariot with a single Tianyu II flying thunder on both wings, and soon broke through the devil's encirclement and approached Luoyang.

Luoyang's Jiang Dingwen Department could no longer hold Luoyang and was breaking through, but fortunately, the Central Plains column arrived and opened the breakthrough with intensive firepower, allowing [***] to rush out. (To be continued.) )
