In Shiqiao Town, a battalion headquarters.

"Vice-seater, the devil did withdraw." The previous warrior was sweating profusely from his forehead and reported to Qiao Anguo that it was apparently caused by overrunning.

"Really withdrawn?" Qiao Anguo was afraid that this was a trap set by the cunning devil for himself, and asked again and again.

Without waiting for the soldier to answer, a confidential officer walked out of the next room, holding a telegram in his hand and said excitedly: "The second seat, the regimental seat is calling." ”

"Oh?" When Qiao Anguo heard this, he immediately took the telegram, read it hurriedly, and hurriedly ordered: "Quickly, order all the light and serious wounded in each company to retreat to Gaochun immediately!" Fast! ”

"Yes!" The warrior replied with a bang, and immediately turned away.

"Slow, find a few people to take the first battalion commander away." Qiao Anguo's face was a little heavy and he commanded.

"Yes!" The warrior gladly answered again, and then took the order.

………………

At the same time, Qiao Anbang also led the reconnaissance company, the armored commando team and the second battalion to quietly withdraw to Gaochun.

In Wuhu City, Ueno Guipu led the 56th and 124th Wings to rush to Wuhu with 100,000 troops, looking at the sun flag still fluttering on Wuhu City, Ueno Guipu, an old devil, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Order, the 56th Infantry Wing and the 124th Wing immediately build field fortifications, and they must be completed before the arrival of the Zhina Army, hurry up!" Ueno Kamepu turned his head to the herald next to him and ordered.

"Hay." The herald bowed his head abruptly, and immediately took the order to leave quickly.

A few hours later, thousands of officers and men of the 56th and 124th Wings of the Chinese Army were tired and anxious to build a large number of field fortifications outside Wuhu City, but there was no trace of the squadron.

At the head of the castle, Sadao Nakajima, who was also puzzled, climbed to the top of the castle together with the chief of staff, Megumi Koto, the commander of the 23rd Brigade Major General Ueno, and the commander of the 35th Brigade, Major General Tezuka Province.

Sadao Nakajima put down the telescope held high, turned his head and asked a few subordinates in confusion: "Why is there no trace of the Shina Army?" ”

"With the marching speed of the Chinese army, it stands to reason that it should have been able to advance to Wuhu City a long time ago." Chief of Staff Megumi Koto also couldn't figure it out.

"I think that the Chinese army must have learned the information that the main force of our imperial army returned to Wuhu and retreated to Gaochun." Major General Tezuka, the commander of the 35th Brigade, who had not spoken for a long time, said thoughtfully.

Tezuka's words suddenly reminded Megumi Koto, who was frowning and thinking hard, and Megumi Koto suddenly lost her voice and said: "General, we may all have been deceived by the cunning Shina army, they don't really want to counterattack Wuhu at all, but want to rescue the Shina army that was besieged by the imperial army at Shiqiao. ”

"Just imagine, if the Zhina army really wants to attack Wuhu, how can it generate electricity in clear code? They should have quietly approached Wuhu and then suddenly attacked. Koto Hui said with annoyance: "The commander of this Tiger Regiment is cunning, he deliberately used clear code to generate electricity, so that the imperial army knew in advance that they would attack Wuhu, and then we will inevitably transfer Ye Jun back to Wuhu to strengthen the garrison, so that the siege of Shiqiao will be solved." ”

After listening to Megumi Koto's analysis, Sadao Nakajima suddenly became angry and roared angrily: "Yagaya Road! The people of China are cunning and dripping! Damn Joanbang, I'm going to tear him to pieces! ”

After roaring angrily, the corners of Nakajima Sadao's mouth twitched violently a few times, and he said coldly: "Order the troops, immediately march towards Gaochun, I will wipe out this tiger group in one fell swoop!" ”

"However, the general ......" Megumi Koto said with a solemn face, "Our ammunition and supplies are almost exhausted. ”

"What?" Nakajima's face turned blue, turned his head and asked, "What did you say?" ”

"General, you have forgotten that the large amount of war materials we have hoarded in Gaochun has been taken away by the Zhina people." Megumi Koto replied with a solemn face.

"Yaga Yalu!" Hearing this, Nakajima Sadao was furious again, and roared angrily: "Tell all wings that if there is not enough food, solve it on the spot, and if there is not enough ammunition, then fight with a white knuckle, and immediately march to Gaochun!" ”

"Hay!" Koto Megumi and the others didn't dare to disobey, and hurriedly bowed their heads at the same time, and immediately took the order and left.

………………

In Gaochun County, not long after Qiao Anbang led his troops back to Gaochun, Qiao Anguo led a battalion to arrive.

Looking at the battalion, which was almost small in number, Qiao Anbang was heartbroken.

"Big brother, are you okay?" Qiao Anbang saw Qiao Anguo's expression gloomy and hurriedly asked.

"I'm fine...... Qiao Anguo shook his head with a solemn expression, and pointed to the grief behind him: "The first battalion commander, he, he died." ”

What? Sacrificed in the heyday? Qiao Anbang was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly stepped forward and lifted the white cloth covering Wang Dingsheng's body.

Looking at Wang Dingsheng's familiar face, Qiao Anbang couldn't help but have a sour nose, for a long time, Qiao Anbang forcibly suppressed the grief in his heart, looked around at the officers and soldiers of the battalion who also looked sad, and immediately strode forward, turned around and said loudly: "Brothers, don't be sad, this is war, war has its own iron laws, we punch the devil, the devil will give us a punch back, although the battalion commander and many brothers sacrificed, they sacrificed to defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity, They are sacrificed for the sake of our Chinese nation to be able to live forever in the world, and they are still glorious even though they die! Like all the thousands of compatriots who sacrificed their lives in this war to defend their homes and defend the country, they will always be remembered by future generations, and their names will always be engraved on the monument of the martyrs, and the martyrs will be immortal! ”

"Resist the martyrs, immortal!"

"Resist the martyrs, immortal!"

"Resist the martyrs, immortal!"

The officers and soldiers present immediately roared in unison, as if only a roar could vent the grief in their hearts at this moment.

Qiao Anbang waved his hand with satisfaction, signaled everyone to be quiet, and then said: "Brothers, you have all worked hard, the cooking class has prepared stewed meat and our pheasant and moss dry wine for you, and when you are full of food and drink, let's go to kill the little devil and avenge the dead brothers!" ”

"Revenge! Avenge! The officers and soldiers shouted in unison.

After appeasing the officers and soldiers of the first battalion, Qiao Anbang returned to his temporary headquarters with Qiao Anguo, commanding Li Yifeng, commander of the third battalion, Li Jupeng, deputy battalion commander, Zhao Gengyuan, Kong Xiangjie and others who had been waiting for a long time.

Seeing Qiao Anbang and Qiao Anguo coming, several people stood up and saluted: "Tuanza, Chief Qiao." ”

"Well, let's do it." Qiao Anbang waved his hand and motioned for everyone to sit down, and then introduced to Zhao Gengyuan and Kong Xiangjie: "Battalion Commander Zhao, Regiment Commander Kong, this is my eldest brother Qiao Anguo, the current deputy head of the Tiger First Regiment. ”

After speaking, Qiao Anbang turned his head and introduced Zhao Kong and the others to Qiao Anguo.

"Deputy Head Joe!" Kong Xiangjie and Zhao Gengyuan stood up and saluted Qiao Anguo to show respect.

Seeing this, Qiao Anguo hurriedly got up and saluted back, nodded and said, "Brother Zhao and Brother Kong don't have to be polite. ”

"Alright, let's all sit down, don't be too polite. From now on, we're going to be in this together. In order to indirectly and effectively support the defense of Nanjing, our strategic goal is very clear, that is, to advance to the rear of the Chinese army and cut off the logistical supply lines of the divisions and regiments on the front line of the Japanese army. With that, Joan Bang got up and walked towards the battle map hanging on the wall.

Qiao Anguo and the others also hurriedly got up and followed, and came to the map, Qiao Anbang pondered on the map for a moment, and then turned to everyone: "Everyone, now the battle situation in Nanjing is critical, Gaochun we can't stay any longer, so we must go, the next target is ......" Saying that, Qiao Anbang turned around and pointed to the map and said: "Xuancheng!" ”

"Xuancheng?" Kong Xiangjie, Li Yifeng and the others glanced at each other, and then turned their eyes to Qiao Anbang.

"Yes, it's Xuancheng. Xuancheng is located at the junction of the mountainous area of southern Anhui and the plain of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and is an important town in southern Anhui. Qiao Anbang nodded and explained.

"Sir Qiao, you can give the order. If you say how to fight, we will fight! Zhao Gengyuan sincerely admired Qiao Anbang, not only Qiao Anbang gave him a large number of advanced equipment, but in the past two days, Qiao Anbang lost his armor and lost his armor, and he saw it in his eyes after successive defeats. So as soon as Qiao Anbang's voice fell, he took the lead in speaking.

"Yes, Captain Qiao, you can give the order." Kong Xiangjie also nodded in agreement.

"That's good." Qiao Anbang turned around with an awe-inspiring expression and said, "Brother Kong, Brother Zhao, in order to facilitate the command, I want to temporarily merge your two regiments with my first battalion, how about the two of you coordinating the command?" ”

"No problem, as long as you can fight devils, you can do anything." Zhao Gengyuan replied without thinking.

Kong Xiangjie wanted to say something, but seeing that Zhao Gengyuan had already agreed first, he couldn't say anything, so he nodded and agreed, in fact, Kong Xiangjie didn't want to co-organize with the Tiger Ben Regiment, speaking of which, the Tiger Ben Regiment is now nominally a regular central descendant army, and the number is well-known, the reason why he hesitated was because he still had some factional views in his bones, the 36th Army itself was the Hunan Army, and he was also the colonel, and theoretically he was on an equal footing with Qiao Anbang, so it was normal for him to hesitate.

"Hmm." Qiao Anbang nodded with satisfaction, and said: "Then everyone go and prepare, remember to burn all the weapons, ammunition and materials in the captured warehouse in the city, don't leave any of them to the little devils, and set off immediately after three hours, and go straight to Xuancheng!" ”

"Yes!" Everyone immediately responded in unison, and immediately took the order and left.
