At this time, Yan Chenghan in Nanjing had also received a telegram from the general headquarters, and his bitter gourd face was finally better-looking.

The current situation in Nanjing City is quite good, and the Bijing Japanese army mobilized most of the troops to encircle and suppress Wuhan. As a result, the war in the east of Nanjing almost came to a standstill.

However, the Japanese troops outside the city of Nanjing still strengthened their defenses and tried to use siege tactics to besiege the city to death.

This tactic worked, but it didn't work either. At the beginning of Nanjing, Jiang Zhongzheng's plan was to fight a protracted war, and Jiang Zhongzheng's idea was that as long as the country did not lose it, then his combat effectiveness would be affirmed by Britain and the United States.

At that time, it will be good to ask for assistance, and at the same time, in the name of the Anti-Japanese War, you can force the three eastern provinces to give some supplies. This calculation was played very well, but it was a pity that Jiang Zhongzheng was worried about depleting the strength of his Central Army.

So the troops given were almost pieced together except for part of the Central Army. Even a large part of them are newly captured strong men.

The combat effectiveness of such an army can be imagined. After the fall of a part of the positions on the outskirts of Nanjing, Chiang's hesitant personality flared up again.

He asked Tang Shengzhi, who was defending the city, to retreat directly, and Tang Shengzhi was not a fool. After forcing Jiang Zhongzheng to call in person, he withdrew from Nanjing City with his troops.

Although they withdrew, the supplies in the city remained. At that time, almost all of them wanted to save their lives, but they didn't have the idea of going in to fight those supplies.

Moreover, Tu Qianjun had already begun to prepare for the battle of Nanjing, and stored a large part of the materials in Nanjing through various channels.

"Damn, I almost thought that the commander-in-chief had forgotten about us......" Yan Chenghan unbuttoned his shirt and said with a smile to Feng Wenyao, chief of staff of the Second Group Army directly under the National Defense Force.

Now the situation in Nanjing is not good, and the battle of Wuhan has ended. The result of the Japanese army was to kill and injure Jiang Zhongzheng, the chairman of the National Government. At the same time, more than 100,000 elites of the Central Army were buried on the battlefield in Wuhan.

And this also includes some elites of Dai Li's military command. Although the Japanese army only got the dilapidated and empty city of Wuchang, their white spoon strategy goal was achieved.

For the time being, the Central Army was unable to launch any kind of offensive against the Japanese army, and it became extremely difficult to defend against the Japanese army. Troops from Henan, Hebei, and Jiangxi were all withdrawn.

These defensive voids left the Japanese with large swaths of Chinese territory that could be easily occupied.

Excluding the empty city of Wuchang and the fleeing Central Army troops and government officials, it can be said that the Central China Front Army has overfulfilled the tasks assigned by the Japanese military headquarters.

So, what will the Japanese army do next?! Will they launch a deadly attack on Chóngqìng, or will they turn around and pull out the nail of Wuchang City?! No one can say.

The war has been fought so far, and the second group in Nanjing City can be said to be exhausted. If all the 300,000 tons of Central China Front were killed, Yan Chenghan asked himself if he had no ability to resist.

Moreover, the Japanese side did not stop sending troops to China. At least the information sent to Yan Chenghan everywhere included the Japanese troops that landed in Shanghai.

However, due to the defeat in the Battle of Beijing and Tianjin, the Japanese army is now urgently dispatching troops to Shandong to support. This has made the pressure on Nanjing much less.

But who can guess what the Japanese army thinks?! If they suddenly chose to wave their troops to Nanjing, then Yan Chenghan would have a headache. Now the more than 100,000 Japanese troops on the periphery of Nanjing are okay, but if there are more, I am afraid it will be difficult to get them.

"Hehehe...... The commander will not forget us, and Japan will not forget it. Feng Wenyao sneered and said: "The Central China Front has lost almost 30,000 people here, and they may not be able to get this field back." ”

"That's it." Yan Chenghan nodded and said to his partner: "How long can we support our white spoon of materials and ammunition?!" ”

"I don't have a lot of ammunition, and if I have two fierce battles, I'm afraid I'll have to run out." Feng Wenyao smiled bitterly and said, "There is still a lot of food, and the medicine is a little tight. ”

Yan Chenghan was silent, he knew that now the main force of the Wehrmacht was trying to open the passage from North China to Nanjing. But obviously it takes time, and what Nanjing lacks most now is time.

He remembered that Tu Qianjun had talked to him before he set off and told him that this time he would be alone. I told Yan Chenghan about all the difficulties, but at that time Yan Chenghan thought that he could persevere.

But now that I look at it, this is not a simple sentence: if you can hold on, you can hold on.

The Japanese army could continue to increase its troops, but it was difficult to reach even a little support when they were trapped in Nanjing. It has been more than a month since the start of the war.

The losses of the troops were huge, but fortunately, they were supplemented by soldiers from the former Central Army and young men from the city of Nanjing. But this is never the solution. The training of recruits is extremely costly.

In order to let the recruits enter the state as soon as possible, Yan Chenghan had to use the way that the National Defense Force used to use veterans to lead recruits for comprehensive training.

Even then, the ammunition consumed is a non-fictional figure. The most terrifying thing is that the area around Nanjing is now almost entirely full of Japanese troops, and no matter how they break through in any direction, they will eventually fall into the encirclement of the Japanese army.

In other words, there may be a glimmer of hope for staying in Nanjing. But if they try to break the encirclement, the lone army of the Second Army may eventually be encircled and annihilated.

But if you don't break through, then it will depend on the movements of the Japanese army. Once the Japanese army chose to pull out the nail of Nanjing first, then Yan Chenghan and they could only helplessly meet the onslaught of up to 400,000 Japanese troops.

"I'll go to his grandmother's ......" was held back for a long time, and Yan Chenghan could only hold back such a dirty word. There's no way, he can't let the guerrillas in northern Jiangsu directly attack the Japanese position, right?!

Although the battle is now full, there are more than 10,000 guerrillas in the entire northern Jiangsu. However, it will still take some time for them to develop a fighting capacity like that of the Wehrmacht.

At this time, letting them storm the positions of the Japanese army is tantamount to sending them to death.

"Why can't you hit the position that Japan has entered?! I think we can fight! Huang Bamei jumped up directly in the conference room, and shouted at Huo Qingyun, the commander-in-chief of the guerrillas in northern Jiangsu: "Now the situation in Nanjing City is so bad, those are all bloody men!" How can we just watch them fight on their own?! ”

Huo Qingyun looked at Huang Bamei's strange face and turned his head to look at Liu Yunjiao. This directly made Liu Yunjiao want to stuff his head into the crotch of his pants, and he didn't expect Huang Bamei to react so much.

Just now, after Huo Qingyun gave a briefing on the current situation in Nanjing, he told everyone that they were now planning to block the Japanese army's logistics troops at the Japanese army's points in various places.

But Huang Bamei is not a thousand, she thinks that if she wants to do something, she will do a big thing! Liu Yunjiao had already told her about the bloody battle in Nanjing City. In her heart, Huang Bamei admired the soldiers of the National Defense Army who fought bloodily in Nanjing.

Now that he knows that this group of soldiers is in trouble, he naturally wants to make a force to open the gap.

"Captain Huang, we also want to break through the encirclement of the Japanese army and rescue our white spoon comrades." Huo Qingyun couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw Liu Yunjiao's appearance, so he had to say to Huang Bamei in person: "But the current situation doesn't allow us to do this!" ”

"The Japanese army surrounded the city of Nanjing, and the number of troops was as high as 100,000. Now that a large number of fortifications have been built on top of each other, it is said that we have no heavy firepower, and even if we do, we have no experience in large corps operations. ”

Huo Qingyun is very patient, and Huo Qingyun still admires Huang Bamei. He is also from the rivers and lakes, and he has a sense of closeness to this kind of reckless things.

"Captain Huang, tell me how many of our detachments have corps combat experience?! How many of us have attacked a large city?! ”

"The Japanese army now has airplanes, 155mm heavy guns, 12.5mm heavy machine guns, tanks, armored vehicles...... and so on, as well as a complete fortification bunker. It is a soldier, both in training and military quality, which is stronger than ours, and the strength of the army is as high as more than 100,000. Do you think it would be good for us to fight them now?! ”

Huang Bamei was immediately dumbfounded when she heard this, and said with a red face: "I...... I was a little reckless. I also ask the commander-in-chief to forgive him. Saying that, she habitually wanted to clench her fists, but then stopped and changed to a military salute.

"Hehehe...... Captain Huang is also eager to kill the enemy. I admire this very much. "Huo Qingyun has now grown into a commander, and he has learned to coordinate his relationship with his subordinates.

This is a process of growth, a process of transformation from a low-level commander to a general.

"Our original mission was to ensure the safety of the people in the guerrilla zone and to mobilize the people to wage guerrilla warfare against the Japanese army. But now, due to the relationship between the trapped troops in Nanjing, we have an extra layer of white spoon mission. It was to harass the supply lines of the Japanese army and reduce the pressure on the defenders in Nanjing as much as possible. ”

Huo Qingyun paused, and when he saw that everyone was listening carefully to his words, he smiled and said, "Then, everyone can express their opinions now." See how we coordinated the logistics of ambushes and Japanese forces in our respective defense zones. ”

The Wehrmacht recruited guerrillas here in northern Jiangsu, and not all of them were recruited. In fact, the situation here has been known everywhere before.

Nanjing to Shanghai and other places were originally the base of the Wang Yajiao Axe Gang. Here, there are countless lurking under his command, both light and dark. After receiving funding and complete training from the three eastern provinces, Wang Yajiao was like a tiger with wings. The forces around northern Jiangsu and Shanghai will be stronger.

Because of this, the information of various water villages and water bandits was collected in the early morning. Which ones are in a team like Ertou Mountain, and which ones are bandits and robbers who don't talk about morality.

Everywhere there has long been a bottom. Later, the Japanese army came, and these entrants really pulled up the team one after another. Some of these people really want to resist Japan, and there are also some who sell dog meat with sheep's heads.

took advantage of this opportunity to try to make a fortune in the country, and also used the excuse of anti-Japanese resistance to continue looting.

When Huo Qingyun and the others arrived in northern Jiangsu, the first thing they did was to contact those teams that had been demarcated everywhere and had the heart to resist Japan. Then, it is to clean up the mess of the so-called "loyalty and righteousness".

Carrots and sticks, no less than one. Those who are willing to join the Wehrmacht will not only receive weapons provided by the Wehrmacht. They will also receive professional military training.

Of course, they need to accept the idea of the Wehrmacht. The three disciplines and eight points of attention have also been brought here.

With Huo Qingyun's ability, it is not too simple to annihilate those small groups of water bandits and cottages. However, in half a month, the "loyalty and righteousness to save **" in northern Jiangsu were basically cleared.

The rest, all regrouped. The anti-Japanese guerrilla detachment of the Wehrmacht in northern Jiangsu was formed. In addition to the original commanders, IDF also sent themselves as their white-spoon deputies to help them train and reorganize their troops.

It was under this circumstance that Liu Yunjiao arrived in northern Jiangsu, and it was also under this circumstance that he met Huang Bamei.

"Commander-in-Chief Huo, that's how I see it. First of all, we can ambush the Japanese from all sides, but I think it is appropriate that we can attack some of the cities occupied by the Japanese army. ”

Liu Yunjiao came to his senses at this time, and said to Huo Qingyun: "We need to fight to run in our White Spoon troops, but at the same time, if we want to relieve the pressure on Nanjing, it is also a good choice to attack some Japanese occupied cities with fewer garrisons." ”

Huo Qingyun heard Liu Yunjiao say this, and nodded constantly. motioned for Liu Yunjiao to continue. In Huo Qingyun's opinion, this is a good idea.

"My opinion is that our White Spoon troops are not good at attacking tough battles now, but because of the large number of local incursions, we can consider a sneak attack." Seeing that Huo Qingyun was interested in his proposal, Liu Yunjiao became more confident.

"We can sneak into the city first, and then open the gates at night to attack." The more Liu Yunjiao spoke, the more fluent he became, and his high-spirited appearance once again made Huang Bamei's eyes full of autumn waves.

"In the darkness of night, we stragglers are the easiest to exert our combat effectiveness. At the same time, the heavy weapons of the Japanese army could not play much of a role. With the right tactics, we can capture some towns. ”

After a pause, Liu Yunjiao looked at the crowd and said, "Moreover, we can concentrate our forces to capture some towns with fewer garrisons first." ”

"But before attacking the town, the supply units of the Japanese army still have to be attacked. We first had to force the Japanese to mobilize a large number of troops to escort them with supplies, so that the garrison in the town would be reduced. On the one hand, this is conducive to our training of the team through combat, and on the other hand, it not only weakens the Japanese army, but also captures their white spoon materials. ”

Liu Yunjiao followed Tu Qianjun not in vain, and Tu Qianjun would instruct him on some guerrilla warfare tactics from time to time. These were all reflected in Liu Yunjiao's mind.

This is also the reason why he was sent to northern Jiangsu, and he needs to fight to test his learning results.

"Good! Very good! Instructor Liu's proposal is very good! Huo Qingyun smiled and said, "Do you have any objections?!" ”

Zhong Jin smiled and shook his head, feeling that this Instructor Liu was worthy of following the commander-in-chief. This kind of vision and way of thinking about problems is just not ordinary!

"That's good! Now let's discuss the coordination plan for the various operations......"

With the deepening of the discussion, a set of matching plans was gradually introduced. This is the benefit of having completed study and training and actual combat command. Huo Qingyun easily came up with a plan for the cooperation between various departments.

It includes attacks and retreat routes launched by various divisions using geographical alliances, as well as covert support for each other. At the same time, the distribution of the loot was finalized.

After three or two efforts, the meeting was over. Under the leadership of the detachment commander and instructor, the various departments went back to repair and mobilize. Prepare for a full-scale guerrilla war against the Japanese army.

"Woo~Kerala ......" A group of Japanese trucks was driving on the mountain road, they were a transport team heading to Nanjing to supply food and ammunition.

This squadron belonged to a reinforced squadron, and more than a dozen transport trucks were loaded with mostly rice and some canned food. At the same time, there are shells of various models and ammunition for light and heavy machine guns.

In command of this squadron was Captain Toru Endo of the Japanese-China Central Front.

Captain Toru Endo was in the transport car in the middle of him, his face extremely ugly. The soldiers around him did not dare to provoke this bad-tempered captain.

"Red deer!! I don't understand why His Excellency Shaozo would send us on such a boring mission! Our squadron should be in Nanjing or Wuhan! Striving for merit is what we have to do! ”

Squadron Deputy Warrant Officer Tomochi complained to Captain Toru Nagato, the squadron leader: "That guy Tomoka Maruyama has been promoted from warrant officer to captain!" It's just that we participated in the Battle of Wuhan, but we ......"

"That's it! The task of the emperor is to carry out the order, not to complain! Squadron Commander Toru Nagato said in a deep voice: "Our task now is to escort these supplies to the position outside the city of Nanjing. For the rest, I will apply to His Excellency Shaozo when I come back. ”

Actually, Toru Endo himself knew that this was just a perfunctory statement. His superior commander, Captain Sugita Sha Shaozuo, could only be stationed in Jurong, how could he have the opportunity to send himself to the battlefield?!

But what can he do?! can only comfort his subordinates like this, in fact, he is also full of displeasure. Tomoka Maruyama, who had to salute the last time I saw her, is now on the same level as herself! What's this called?!

After being told by the squadron leader, Ouchi muttered that he would no longer speak.

"Ouchi, cheer up! It seems that there has been a small force that has been constantly harassing our supply lines lately. This caused a lot of damage, and His Excellency Sugita Shaosa was very unhappy. That's why we're here to escort supplies. ”

Toru Endo said in a deep voice to his squadron lieutenant: "Don't take advantage of the loopholes for the Chinese troops, otherwise you and I will not be able to explain to His Excellency the captain!" ”

"Hay!" Ouchi Zhi answered, but he didn't think so. I'm a squadron! Those troops just dare to touch the squad and attack themselves?! Unless they want to die.

"Boom! Rumble!! Boom ......" Just after Ouchi's answer, suddenly there was a series of loud noises on the highway! Several leading Japanese transports exploded on the spot.

"Enemy attack!! All in and out of the car!! Captain Toru Endo reacted very quickly, and with a terrible roar, he rushed out of the car that had just braked and stopped.

The battle begins in the col!
