After a few days of turmoil in the city of Nanjing, with three days of searching to no avail, in the face of the arrival of the international observation team, Matsui Shigen could only order the end of the search. Instead, he reported the attack on Nanjing to the domestic army headquarters.

It was learned that the commander of the division stationed in Nanjing, Nakajima Imago, and the commander of the 103rd Infantry Brigade, Yamada Toji, were assassinated, and Takashi Takamori, who was commended by the Japanese army, and two second lieutenants of the '100-man beheading' were also attacked by unknown personnel.

Even in this attack, nearly 1,000 Japanese troops stationed in Nanjing were killed and wounded, and their supplies were also seriously damaged. Most importantly, after this attack, many Japanese commanders in the city seemed to be a little cautious when traveling.

Faced with such a situation, Itakami Seishiro, who took over as the commander of the Shanxi Dispatch Army, was very keenly aware. The attack in Nanjing seems to have many similarities with the previous attack in Taiyuan.

Thinking of this, Itakami Seishiro quickly reported his analysis: "According to the current situation, among the troops of the Eighth Route Army, there is a special unit that is very familiar with the operations of our army.

From the Taiyuan bombing case to the current Nanjing attack case, it can be found that there is an attacker who is very familiar with the situation of our army and even dares to boldly pretend to be our army. If this unit is not eliminated, it is bound to become a serious problem for our army. ”

After receiving Seishiro Itakami's analysis report, some people still don't think it's credible. Based on the current situation of the Eighth Route Army, is it really capable of training such a strong force? And one in the south and the other in the north, it's a little too far!

At this time, Song Yuping and others, who came out of Nanjing City, found a safety point that had been arranged in advance. At the beginning of the break, the telegram of 'safe evacuation' was also quickly sent to the independent column.

Looking at this telegram, He Zhengdao also breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Just withdraw it!" This telegram was sent back to the Central Committee and the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army. Taking advantage of this opportunity, perhaps the New Fourth Army can hold a sabotage battle.

Although after the news came out, the New Fourth Army would definitely become a key target for the Japanese army. But just a few days before the Spring Festival, I believe that the people of the whole country should be happy when they hear the news, and let the people have a happy New Year. ”

'Yes, Commander! ’

When the telegraph operator recorded He Zhengdao's order, He Zhengdao thought for a while and said: "At present, the Sixth Division of the Japanese Army is encircling and suppressing the anti-Japanese forces in southern Anhui.

Send a telegram to Song Yuping, asking him to lead the Saber special combat team to carry out sabotage and beheading battles in the enemy's rear, and cooperate with the New Fourth Army to thwart the Japanese Sixth Division's plan to encircle and suppress southern Anhui. This message was forwarded to the Second Division of the New Fourth Army.

As for the matter of asking the New Fourth Army to cooperate, send this plan to the headquarters of the Central Committee and the Eighth Route Army for the central and general headquarters to deliberate. With this news, another victory may be able to enhance the morale of the military and civilian resistance fighters.

At least let today's people know that the anti-Japanese forces in China are still fighting against the Japanese army that invaded our land. In many places, our anti-war forces are still fighting. And doing so will also help enhance the influence of the New Fourth Army.

Although it is inevitable that they will need to bear a little pressure, but with this merit, at least in the Central Army, they need to give the New Fourth Army a certain amount of encouragement. And the Southern Saber Special Combat Team is temporarily codenamed the New Fourth Army Martial Arts Team! ”

As the radio waves began to transmit rapidly, a telegram was received from the independent column, far away from the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army in Xi'an. Looking at the news I received earlier, I was also full of worries about whether the New Fourth Army could withstand this wave of pressure.

Although the New Fourth Army now has two main divisions and many reserve troops and guerrillas, the size of the troops has reached nearly 50,000 people. But such a force is stationed in southern Anhui, and the little devils are not at ease, and the central army is not at ease.

The reason is simple: the strength of the New Fourth Army is expanding too quickly. After the outbreak of the all-out war of resistance in the south, the Central Army was defeated and retreated, and the loss of troops was not small. On the other hand, the New Fourth Army was rapidly expanding at this time.

The establishment of two divisions and one brigade at the time of reorganization has now been fully staffed. Even the Central Army knew that the New Fourth Army had formed quite a number of guerrilla brigades in southern Anhui. The size of these guerrilla brigades is no small either!

Even if most of the New Fourth Army is operating near southern Anhui at this moment, the Japanese army is also encircling and suppressing there. However, the Central Army was also worried that the New Fourth Army, which continued to expand, might soon re-establish the Hubei-Henan-Anhui base area.

Even at present, the Japanese army has begun to attack Suzhou, Zhejiang, Jiangxi and other places, and the Central Army, which has successively lost these territories, seems to be somewhat worried about the position of the New Fourth Army. After all, the New Fourth Army is a team on the side of the Eighth Route Army.

Even though these two troops are far apart at present, Lao Chiang, who can reach Chongqing, in view of the current situation, still arranges many defensive and alert troops on the periphery of the New Fourth Army to be vigilant against the entry of the guerrillas of the New Fourth Army.

The Central Committee and the Eighth Route Army Headquarters in Shaanxi also knew about this situation, and the New Fourth Army in southern Anhui also knew about it. It is precisely because of this consideration that the development of the New Fourth Army has been placed more in the southern Anhui region, and has not touched the bottom limit of the Central Army.

However, in the opinion of Xiang Ying, who served as political commissar, southern Anhui alone was not suitable for the development of the New Fourth Army. On matters concerning the development of the New Fourth Army, Ye Ting felt that the overall situation should be taken into account and that nothing should be done that touched the nerves of the Central Army.

Now that the Saber Special Combat Team is stationed in the New Fourth Army, it will do such a big thing as soon as it comes, which will surely make many people look at the New Fourth Army with admiration. But no matter what, this is both a crisis and an opportunity for the current New Fourth Army.

Lao Jiang, who also received the news that the Japanese troops stationed in Nanjing City had been attacked and a division commander was killed on the street, also felt a little embarrassed. He asked, "Yu Nong, do you know who did it?" ”

'Report to the principal, I don't know yet. However, if we didn't do it, it should be done over there. ’

The 'over there' mentioned by Dai Li is naturally the Eighth Route Army in Shaanxi. But when Lao Jiang heard this, he frowned a little and said, "It shouldn't be, right?" Do they have such strength? That's the heavily armed city of Nanjing! ”

Faced with Lao Jiang's disbelief, Dai Li quickly said: "Principal, the bombing case in Taiyuan a few years ago is still somewhat similar to the attack on Nanjing City. Among the Eighth Route Army, I am afraid that there is an elite army.

Although we have not yet received specific information, we can report it according to the information we sent back from the Shaanxi intelligence station. The Eighth Route Army seems to be setting up a teaching regiment to draw outstanding backbones from each division to participate in retraining.

The first commander of this teaching regiment is said to be the commander of the independent division. Being able to get such trust from the **** two is enough to show that this He Zhengdao is very different. Even a few days ago, there was a case of assassination of him in Yan'an.

It's a pity that none of the Japanese spies who assassinated at that time seemed to have escaped their pursuit. Even that incident caused the two of our intelligence stations to lose contact, and they should have been removed by the intelligence department of the Eighth Route Army.

If there really is such an elite team, my personal guess must be inseparable from this He Zhengdao. This person is very popular in the Eighth Route Army, and his prestige is also extremely high, and he is simply a demonic figure. ”

The more information about He Zhengdao, Dai Li, who is rarely convinced, must admit that it is really rare for a young man in his early twenties to become a great general of the Eighth Route Army, and he is so trusted by officers and soldiers!

Just when all parties were speculating about who did what happened in Nanjing. A telegram shocked everyone who speculated about it. Just when some people doubted whether the news was correct, a foreign newspaper published the news with pictures and texts.

'Fate of the invaders'!

On the newspaper published under this headline, a photo of Isago Nakajima with his hands on his throat and a somewhat hideous expression was clearly displayed. Everyone knows that this is a photo taken from the scene.

What's more, there is also a '100-person beheading' second lieutenant who was heavily publicized by the Japanese army, accompanied by photos of 100 knives and beheadings, which shocked the Japanese army. However, the Chinese Anti-Japanese War soldiers and civilians ran to tell each other about this matter.

In the telegram of the New Fourth Army, many warlords who still remember the prestige of Ye Ting's 'Iron Army' also know that this is a fierce general in China. In the previous battle for the defense of Nanjing, the New Fourth Army also made a lot of contributions to the defending troops on the flank.

In the telegram, Ye Ting said in the name of the commander of the New Fourth Army: "This retaliation against the Japanese army in Nanjing City is to avenge the death of those Nanjing soldiers and civilians who died in vain, and to comfort those soldiers and civilians who died with the heads of these invaders."

If the invaders want to use this kind of massacre to deter our anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians, then I can only reply in eight words, that is, 'tooth for tooth, blood for blood', as long as there is still a soldier in China, I will fight to the death against the invaders. ”

After such a telegram, the soldiers and civilians of the Anti-Japanese War who learned the news were undoubtedly very excited. On the other hand, when the Japanese army learned that the person who caused the Nanjing attack was actually the New Fourth Army in southern Anhui, there were naturally countless people clamoring for revenge.

The Eighth Route Army, which received the telegram, soon sent congratulatory telegrams, and the other warlords also sent congratulatory telegrams one after another. In any case, these warlord generals need to show their solidarity for such a morale-boosting thing.

But more than that, many people still want to know how big this New Fourth Army's martial arts team is, and who trained it. But in the New Fourth Army, little is known about this military engineering team.

The most direct situation of the telegram is that in Hubei, Henan, Anhui, and even Shaanxi and Chongqing, the New Fourth Army is really famous. Many people seem to have more understanding and recognition of Ye Ting's understanding of the New Fourth Army.

Even the Central Army, which acts as a friendly force with the New Fourth Army, will not dare to do too much to the New Fourth Army after this telegram is issued. It's just that in the face of the heavy pressure of the Japanese Sixth Division, many people are also worried.

I don't know what the final result of the Japanese army's sweep of the New Fourth Army base area will be. On the other hand, when Lao Jiang saw this situation, he also seemed a little entangled, and felt that he should send troops to rescue and support him at that time?
