As the Japanese army began to march into Anhui, more than 50,000 troops entered Anhui in three routes, one of which directly advanced to Chuzhou. The other two armies marched into southern Anhui and focused on attacking the New Fourth Army units operating here.

In the face of the withdrawal of the Central Army in southern Anhui, the Japanese army seemed to like to see such a situation. For them, being able to surrender without a fight is undoubtedly very beneficial to them, at least it can also reduce some losses.

In order to defeat the New Fourth Army, which was likely to set up a blocking front at Ma'anshan to the greatest extent, the Japanese army thought of using the Yangtze River to project troops when formulating the attack plan. Deliver a unit directly to the Dangtu area.

When the Japanese army began to raise shallow river gunboats and kayaks, Song Yuping also collected boats in the Dangtu area, intending to block the waterway that could enter Dangtu from the Yangtze River. even thought about it, take a good look at the Japanese army coming from the river.

The Dangtu garrison camp that chose to stay began to go door-to-door the next day to persuade the people to move out of Dangtu City. Even if some people are still reluctant to leave, there are also many people who choose to evacuate. Some of these people were sent to the rear and some were sent across the river.

Many of them chose to join the local guerrillas. It's just that, according to Song Yuping's order, these young people who planned to join the army were all transferred to the rear to start recruit training in the name of escorting supplies.

With just a breath of blood and bravery, he fought to the death with the elite Japanese army, which was not heroic, but an act of seeking death. The guerrillas who want to stay in the Ma'anshan area can at least shoot guns and know some tactical movements.

As long as they hold out in Ma'anshan, these young people who have newly joined the New Fourth Army will be able to receive more training in the rear. In this way, in the future, if you really go to the battlefield to fight the Japanese army, you will have a better chance of surviving.

The river defense troops of the little devils have not yet arrived, and the air force of the little devils is beginning to wreak havoc in southern Anhui. Looking at these little devil planes that began to carry out bombing, many people who did not want to leave knew that they would not be able to do it if they did not leave!

When a wing of the Sixth Division officially stepped into southern Anhui, it also realized that the confrontation between the New Fourth Army and the Japanese army had begun. When the air force carried out the bombing, the Japanese river defense units also began to rush up the current to attack Dangtu.

I learned that there were two squadrons of little devils, with the cooperation of river defense gunboats and transport boats, and began to come to Dangtu. Song Yuping, who was lurking in the Guxi River, looked at the little devil reconnaissance planes that appeared above his head from time to time, and he also knew what the little devil was planning.

Looking at the Guxi River not far ahead, Song Yuping said with a smile: "It seems that the little devil is quite cautious, and knows that before sending the river defense troops over, let the reconnaissance plane reconnoiter along the river." It's a pity that Lao Tzu came early.

Now an infantry wing of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army has entered the Bowang area, and looking at their appearance, they should also be rushing to Dangtu. It's just that if they want to come to be Tu, I'm afraid it won't work in seven or eight days.

Send a telegram to the first regiment, the Ma'anshan guerrilla brigade, and the Dangtu garrison battalion, and let them all hide in the mountains for me to rest during the day, and everyone will come out to do activities at night. Don't rush to find the little devils, we just need to drag them here.

Send a report to the special operations detachment operating in Bowang, so that they don't care about the little devil infantry wing that entered in advance, and focus on attacking the troops who transport supplies for them. Some battles are fought, and whoever has the materials can last for a long time will be able to win the final victory.

As soon as there are captured supplies, let the guerrilla brigades and the militia units that are fighting with us move all the excess supplies to the rear. This time, Lao Tzu wants to fight with the little devil in Ma'anshan! ”

Although there are no high-power radios, the low-power radios, when the special operations brigade came to southern Anhui, they really helped to bring a lot. After the separation of the two special operations units, it is basically possible to ensure that a small unit is equipped with a radio station.

The radio stations of these small detachments can also serve as radio stations for guerrilla brigades in various localities. With such communication and liaison, Song Yuping was able to mobilize the entire Ma'anshan area to participate in the war. This is indeed somewhat difficult for the New Fourth Army to do.

Even if radio stations are not a rare thing today, as far as the New Fourth Army is concerned, they can only equip combat units at the regimental level with radio stations. As for the main battalion, the high-end goods like the radio station are also unaffordable!

As Song Yuping's telegram was conveyed to the various troops participating in the battle, he looked at Dangtu City, which was shrouded in a sea of fire in front of him. The people who had withdrawn from the city and the garrison camp also felt relieved.

Even Camp Commander Zhu, who thought it was stupid to do this before, finally understood Song Yuping's foresight. If they were staying in the city at the moment, they would seem to have a strong wall as a cover, but in fact they would be trapped in a lonely city.

Listening to the people who had been transferred, some began to weep in low voices. Battalion Commander Zhu also said in a timely manner: "Folks, you have also seen it. The little devil invaded southern Anhui this time, and he came to fight and kill people.

Yesterday you also said that little devils do not kill innocents indiscriminately. So at this moment, you've all seen it with your own eyes. The little devils don't care if there are people in the city or not, they all drop the bomb and blow it up first.

If you are still reluctant to live in the city, you should know what the consequences will be. While the little devil's infantry has not yet arrived, the villagers should think about it, should you stay or go to the rear?

The people who stay, help us do what they can, but it will definitely be dangerous. After all, people will die in war, and if you really let the little devils catch you, it is estimated that they will not care if you are an ordinary person or not.

If you choose to go to the rear of the New Fourth Army, the New Fourth Army will send someone to see you there. When you get to the rear, you don't have to worry too much, I believe that the New Fourth Army will settle you well. All we have to do now is to leave quickly.

According to the information provided by the New Fourth Army, thousands of little devils have already entered Bowang. If it's fast, they'll be there in two or three days. So, you have to think about it in advance, whether to leave or stay! ”

With the example of Tucheng City being bombed by the Japanese army, many people who didn't want to leave finally chose to go to the rear. Those who really dare to stay may be those young people who are strong in blood.

After selecting a few able-bodied young men and leaving them to serve as baggage soldiers for a while, the rest of the people were escorted to the rear by local guerrillas. To the rear of the New Fourth Army, it is natural that someone will arrange everything for them.

Situations like this are played out in many places in Ma'anshan. In the face of the population moving from the front to the rear, the reception of the New Fourth Army also seemed a little busy, but they knew that they had to take care of these people.

As long as they survive this battle, these civilians will become staunch supporters of the New Fourth Army in the future. The political cadres responsible for resettling the people are naturally very clear about this kind of thing.

Looking at the reconnaissance plane leaving overhead, and looking at the officers and soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion who were a little nervous, Song Yuping said with a smile: "Take a rest with peace of mind!" The little devil's boat will arrive here, and it is estimated that it will not be until late afternoon or simply nightfall.

At this time, we have a good rest, and after this battle, we have to rush to Bowang's side. For this lone infantry wing, discuss it with Commander Ding at that time to see if you can take them down in one fell swoop.

When we get to our territory, if we don't treat them well, the little devils will think that we are not hospitable! Take a good rest and store your strength, and let the young people who help also stay and rest honestly. ”

In this way, Japanese planes carried out a round of bombing in Dangtu and other important cities in southern Anhui. Even the location of the headquarters of the New Fourth Army visited by Song Yuping and others was bombed by the Japanese army.

Ye Ting, who received the news, stood in a hidden mountain cave with Xiang Ying, and said happily: "It seems that the little devil really has more information about us than we imagined. They also know the headquarters of this headquarters.

If we hadn't moved the military headquarters headquarters to this mountain in advance. I'm afraid that if the little devil is blown up today, we will also suffer heavy losses. Tell Zhang Huangxin to raise the vigilance of the guard regiment and strictly prohibit strangers from approaching the military headquarters. ”

Zhang Huangxin, who also learned the news, looked at several special combat members around him, and said curiously: "How do you know that the little devil will bomb our military headquarters?" You know, our military headquarters will change from time to time! ”

The reason is very simple, the little devil's intelligence penetration ability is more powerful than we imagined. When a major war is about to start, they will naturally focus on finding out our military command post and carrying out an aerial decapitation battle against our command system.

There's a lot more to come. After the bombing was over, it is believed that the Japanese army would soon know that their bombing was not effective. In that case, they will send spies to find the location of our military headquarters.

Therefore, this military headquarters will have to be moved again in two days. Only in this way can the little devils not find the location of our military headquarters. And as we said earlier, there is also a need for strict controls within the Guard Corps.

According to our observations in the past few days, even within the guard regiment, there are also fighters with suspicious behavior. Although we don't have any definite evidence to prove it now, as long as we are vigilant, they will always reveal their true identities. ’

These special combat personnel, who have been assigned to protect the military headquarters, have also been training the guard skills of the guard regiment in recent times. At the same time, the special combat team members who are responsible for supervision also act as safety inspectors of the military headquarters.

At such a time, the stability of the command system of the military headquarters of the New Fourth Army is also related to whether or not the troops at the front can be stabilized. If something really happens in the rear, I am afraid that the troops of the New Fourth Army on the front line will also have a situation where the morale of the army will be scattered.

Even at present, two division commanders and one brigade commander of each New Fourth Army are closely protected by two special combat personnel. The reason for this was to be wary of possible decapitation by the Japanese army.

After all, these senior commanders of the New Fourth Army are the spirit of a main force. If an accident happens to these commanders, it will undoubtedly be very fatal to the morale of the troops! (To be continued.) )
