Just as the night raid special operations team had hoped, looking at the corpses that were being carried into the town one after another, nearly two hundred corpses were naked. Every little devil has no intention of sleeping, and is more angry and hateful.

On the other hand, in the base of the Bowang guerrilla brigade, the torches are also bright. Every guerrilla who could return, as well as those who stayed behind, had a beaming face and excitement for tonight's victory.

Looking at the 38 big covers on the backs of these team members, as well as a few crooked handles and grenadiers, many of the left-behind team members were very envious of these guerrillas who went to battle. Even in tonight's battle, several partisans were killed.

'Tell the guys, eat something dry tonight.' Take a few captured meat picks and stew dishes, and we'll add more to dinner in the evening! ’

'Okay! ’

The guerrillas of the guerrilla brigade naturally seemed very happy with what the leader of the special operations squad said. In any case, it was their original intention to join the guerrillas when they chose to join the guerrillas by carrying guns to defend their homeland and country, but they also expected to have enough to eat.

Although the food of the guerrillas was not so satisfactory. But for many young people who are children of peasant families, three meals a day here still make them feel that what they used to eat at home is much better.

The most important thing is that every time you have a capture and a victory, you can add food. This kind of happy thing can undoubtedly dilute the sadness in the hearts of these young people for their dead comrades.

Even among the guerrillas, quite a few former soldiers of the Kuomintang enjoyed such an atmosphere. In the past, in the garrison regiment or their former troops, it was the prerogative of officers to drink wine and eat meat, and soldiers rarely had the opportunity to eat a good meal.

But at present, they did not choose to withdraw to northern Anhui, but chose to stay and fight together with the New Fourth Army, and even joined the guerrillas of the New Fourth Army. These people don't seem to care too much about their former identities for them.

What the partisans ate, they ate the same. Even the members of the armed forces who were called 'chiefs' by the guerrillas were like them. Every time the meal is served, they line up to eat like them.

This consistent style of work still made these soldiers of the former Nationalist Army who joined the guerrillas truly feel that this unit was different. Even in this army, many officers and soldiers are wearing people's clothes.

If it weren't for the guns they carried, it is estimated that no one would think that they were anti-Japanese war troops. But it was such a group of troops, which looked like ordinary people, who completely annihilated a squadron of the Japanese army tonight, and brought back more than 200 Japanese-style weapons that they all envied.

When this telegram of victory was transmitted back to the headquarters of the New Fourth Army, seeing this first good news, Ye Ting also did not feel small, and said with a smile: "Not bad! It is rare to destroy a Japanese squadron at such a small cost with only one guerrilla brigade! ”

'Yes! The most important thing is that at the moment, the Japanese army wing that broke into Bowang is afraid that life will be very difficult. Since they came in, our guerrillas have destroyed the road into Bowang.

According to the information provided by the guerrillas, they should have destroyed another batch of baggage in this wing tonight. With the current distance between them and the main force of the Japanese army, it is estimated that they will not be able to converge in three or five days. This time difference is our chance! ’

"Well, Captain Song had already sent a telegram before, planning to sneak attack the Japanese river defense troops in Dangtu from the Guxi River, and he and our two division reconnaissance battalions had been completely annihilated. In a short period of time, the Japanese army wanted to enter the Guxi River and enter Dangtu, but they were afraid that it would be impossible.

In one day, we destroyed nearly 1,000 Japanese soldiers and destroyed two Japanese gunboats. Such a victory is indeed rare! If this is going to get out, I guess some of the people who expect us to be exterminated will only be disappointed. ’

Listening to Xiang Ying's words, Ye Ting said with a smile: "This good news will be reported internally for the time being!" Waiting for the annihilation of this lone deep Japanese army, we are announcing this news, I believe it will let the Japanese army know that we are not easy to mess with.

What's more, at this time, the troops in northern Anhui are afraid that they will have to take care of themselves. According to the information we have received, the Japanese army has an infantry brigade and is now attacking the Hanshan area.

Looking at the chess played by the little devils, it is estimated that they not only want to destroy us, but they also plan to capture Hefei in one fell swoop. As long as they take Hefei, I believe that they will march into Wuhan and force the Nationalist Government in Chongqing again! ”

In the face of Ye Ting's analysis, Xiang Ying didn't want to gloat, but he also said directly: "In this matter, we are only afraid that we will be powerless for the time being." What we have to do now is to get through this difficult time! ”

Having lost nearly two squadrons in one night, the commander of the Japanese wing who entered Bowang did look very angry and angry. But looking at the officers and soldiers of the wing who had not rested all night and boiled up with red eyes, Nozawa also knew that he would not be able to act again today.

In view of this situation, Nozawa still ordered a half-day rest, and the troops began to search the surrounding area in the afternoon. And this time the search made Nozawa realize that their team was only afraid of being alone.

The few squadrons sent out, almost without exception, were ambushed. Even if someone escapes back, they are still defeated. In just one afternoon, a Japanese army brigade sent out to search was almost gone.

Without the radio, they could not even receive information from the rear. Even if there are reconnaissance planes hovering over their heads during the day, they still cannot transmit any information to them, and all the reconnaissance planes can see is the scene of the battle.

Gu Shoufu, who was a little anxious in the rear, looked at the situation detected by the reconnaissance plane, and said with a little relief: "In this way, our 13th Wing is still in Bowang Town. It's just possible that you lost the radio and couldn't contact us, right? ”

'Yes, according to the reconnaissance plane's reconnaissance situation, there are quite a few units of the New Fourth Army scattered around Bowang at present. From what the reconnaissance aircraft saw, these units were lurking in the surrounding countryside.

Judging from the scale, the New Fourth Army deployed at least one main regiment here in Bowang. At present, the cavalry brigade has rushed to the Bowang area for reinforcements. If all goes well, they'll be able to reach Bowang tonight. ’

'Yo! However, our main force still needs to get in as soon as possible. Otherwise, our wing is very dangerous! ’

When he learned that he had lost contact with the 13th Wing, Gu Shoufu was really shocked, thinking that this wing had been completely annihilated by the New Fourth Army. Fortunately, after reconnaissance, the reconnaissance plane found that the 13th Wing stationed in Bowang Town seemed to be normal from the sky.

In addition, around Bowang Town, reconnaissance planes also discovered a number of battlefields where fighting was taking place. Judging from the situation, it seems that the regular units of the New Fourth Army cooperated with the guerrilla forces to attack the Japanese search teams that were carrying out search missions.

At the end of the day, the 2nd Division and 1st Regiment, which cooperated with the Bowang Guerrilla Brigade, paid hundreds of casualties and eliminated thousands of Japanese troops. For such a result, Commander Ding was still very satisfied.

In the evening, Ding Maoshan, who was about to rest, looked at the chief of staff who entered the door, and immediately said, "Is it Captain Song's telegram?" ”

'Yes! The telegram just sent by Captain Song that a cavalry brigade of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army was not far from Bowang Town. He and the division headquarters reconnaissance battalion are carrying out the blockade, and we need to cooperate. ’

'Little devil's cavalry brigade? ’

'Yes! It seems that the little devils should know that their infantry wing in Bowang has become our mouth. At this time, the cavalry was sent over, presumably for reinforcements. With cavalry reconnaissance, it will be difficult for us to set up an ambush. ’

After taking the telegram handed by the chief of staff and looking at it, Ding Maoshan quickly said: "Bugler, blow the emergency assembly number!" ”

As the regiment of officers and soldiers who had just eaten and were about to rest, they quickly gathered again, and Ding Maoshan called the four battalion commanders to his side and assigned combat missions to each battalion. Of course, there is also a battalion left here in the camp to serve as a left-behind force.

'Remember, you three, tonight's mission is not to attack the Japanese infantry wings, but to prevent them from reinforcing the cavalry units of the little devils. If there is a fish that slips through the net, you must not let it go.

A cavalry brigade, it seems that this time we really have to discuss it with Captain Song, how to divide our group of little devils' military horses. Not to mention building a cavalry battalion, it should still be possible to form a cavalry company! ’

Hearing this, the battalion commander said with a smile: "Regiment commander, this battle has not started yet, you are thinking about how to divide the spoils, is it a little too anxious." I heard that the little devil's cavalry is very strong and has a lot of combat experience! ”

'! When they meet our martial arts team, they will be slaughtered! What's more, this is southern Anhui, not in the northwest. The role of cavalry is more suitable for surprise attacks and surprise attacks by small troops, and it is naturally good to use it to deliver messages.

But if you want to fight a positional battle, in a place like southern Anhui, the cavalry can't rush even if they are afraid of rushing. What's more, at present, this road that is easier to walk is full of holes dug by us, and people must be careful when walking, not to mention people on horseback! ’

As Ding Maoshan said, the Japanese cavalry brigade that came to support the 13th Wing. After entering Bowang, he was surprised. The roads that used to be accessible to horse-drawn carriages have now been dug into deep pits.

In some places, you can even see the collapse of the mountain on the side of the road. Under such circumstances, it was almost an impossible task for the cavalry brigade to rush to Bowang Town on time to join the 13th Wing.

In the end, the cavalry captain found a map of the area and began to choose other forks in the road to detour. It turned out that many of these roads were also destroyed, and some of the bridges over the rivers were also blown up.

In this case, the cavalry captain painfully found that at this moment, their cavalry brigade was also in a situation where it was neither advancing nor retreating. After obtaining permission from the division command, the cavalry brigade finally chose a place to camp.

Because they all know that riding in such a place at night will be a very dangerous thing. But their encampment meant that they would change from cavalry to infantry. And for a cavalry brigade sent to the door, how could Song Yuping not be tempted?

After some discussion, Song Yuping felt that he should lead the reconnaissance battalion of the division headquarters and the special operations detachment to which he belonged. Take down this cavalry brigade that broke into Bowang, and the nearly 1,000 war horses alone are good things that are difficult to buy for the New Fourth Army! (To be continued.) )
