Chapter 340: The Battle of Yuxikou
"The new 38th Brigade has not been rebuilt, what's going on?" Shangguan Yunxiang's brows furrowed instantly, this is a very strange thing.
From Xuancheng to the Qilin Bridge station in Nanling, it is only half a day's journey at most, and the new 38th Brigade has walked for more than a day without a trace?
"Immediately let the garrison of Nanling look for it in the direction of Xuancheng." But the new 38th Brigade, a unit directly under the Military Commission, if this is lost, he Shangguan Yunxiang will not be able to eat and walk around.
"Yes!"
"Hey, I'll pick up Commander Gu."
"Is it Brother Ji Qing?"
"Third Brother Mo, something happened to me, the new 38th Brigade sent me a telegram yesterday saying that it had withdrawn from Xuancheng and would return to construction in a few days, but I haven't seen a single figure until now, I think something is a little strange, I'll call you immediately, is this new 38th Brigade transferred to his use?"
"I haven't heard of it, you wait a minute, I'll ask."
"The new 38th Brigade is missing, are you sure?" On the military commander's side, Mao Qiwu also received an urgent message from his subordinate intelligence station, and he immediately found his boss Dai Yunong.
Dai Yunong has always been elusive, no one knows where he is, and only a few henchmen can contact him at any time.
Mao Qiwu is one of them.
"There is already chaos in the third theater, and the new 38th Brigade is a unit directly under the Military Commission, and if it goes missing, the consequences will be unimaginable."
"Didn't they get in touch?" Dai Yunong frowned, "Doesn't the new 38th Brigade even have a radio station?" ”
"There has been no response, and now it is estimated that the Military Commission has known the news."
"So have you analyzed any possibilities?"
"This ......" Mao Qiwu opened his mouth in embarrassment.
"What do you say, what are you afraid of?"
"According to our analysis. The new 38 Brigade did not appear in the national control area. Then it must have gone to the Japanese-occupied zone. Mao Qiwu said solemnly.
"Nonsense. Could it be that the new 38th Brigade defected to the enemy? ”
"Boss, don't worry, listen to what I've said." Mao Qiwu hurriedly explained, "I mean, the new 38th Brigade may have sneaked into the Japanese-occupied area to perform some important mission, and the previous evacuation was a cover to deceive the Japanese." ”
"You mean that the new 38th Brigade has quietly infiltrated the Japanese-occupied area, but how can he hide it from the eyes of the Japanese?" Dai Yu Nong Road. "The new 38th Brigade is a team of thousands of people."
"Although I don't know what they want to do, if they really sneak into the Japanese-occupied area, there are still ways, such as walking day and night, not taking roads and main roads, or even disguised as Japanese ......"
Dai Yunong nodded, other troops may not be able to do it, this new 38th Brigade is the old unit of the 'Yaksha' Leng Feng, even if you don't learn the essence of the gods, you can always do it if you learn a little fur.
"Boss. In addition to the new 38th Brigade, only the one in Nanjing can be mobilized. But if Shangfeng is transferred to the 38th Brigade, there will definitely be rumors, at least he will say hello to the Third War Zone, even Chief Gu doesn't know about this, and there is only ......" Mao Qiwu looked at Dai Yunong's face and subconsciously closed his mouth. Bar.
Although the military commander is only a piece of intelligence, and his power is not small, some people still have scruples about things, and this Lord Yama and the judge are fighting, and the little ghost is not capable of getting involved.
"You just need to know this in your heart, just when we don't know about it." Dai Yunong admonished.
"Understand, boss, I will tell you to go down, and no one is allowed to mention this matter." Mao Qi said, "Then Chief Gu will definitely ask the attendant room ......"
"I'll take care of this, so you don't have to worry about it." Dai Yu Nong Road.
"Yes!"
"Niang Xipi, what does he want to do with this cold front?" Lao Jiang is really angry, he has just won a battle, and he has begun to his tail, is there still him as the principal and the commander of the army in the eyes of this Leng Feng?
"Sir, how does Chief Gu reply?" Lin Wei asked quietly.
"Just say I know." Lao Jiang thought for a moment and said.
"Got it?" Lin Wei was stunned for a moment, what kind of reply is this, but he has been by Lao Jiang's side for so long, how can he not understand his character, Leng Feng is now an anti-Japanese hero, an anti-Japanese star, a good student of him Jiang, a favorite general, at this time, if there is a scandal such as the disagreement between the generals and the commander, it will not only be a blow to his prestige, but also an adverse impact on the war against Japan.
As the saying goes, family ugliness should not be publicized.
Besides, it's not the first time that Leng Feng has acted on his own, as long as he can continue to win battles, these old Jiang can endure it.
Isn't his old Jiang just able to endure it, so that he can get to where he is today.
This is actually an answer, the new 38th Brigade received an order from Lao Chiang, and of course there is no need to go through the headquarters of the commander of the Third Theater of Operations.
It's just that this time I didn't even say hello, which was a bit abnormal.
Leng Feng didn't know that Lao Jiang gave him to carry this black pot, the new 38th Brigade was under his control, and he didn't need to greet or ask anyone for instructions when he mobilized the 38th Brigade, which was originally a normal thing.
It's just that he ignored one point, the new 38th Brigade is in the third theater, and it will be transferred away without saying hello, which is really a bit unreasonable.
The new 38th Brigade marched at night and rested during the day, and before that, the northbound detachment had already found out the way, so they went very smoothly.
The Japanese troops were generally stationed in county towns and some key points of communication, and they had almost no control over the vast rural areas, not to mention that they had not occupied them for a long time, and with the cover of the anti-Japanese guerrillas in the occupied areas, their actions were even more hidden.
Of course, there are some roads to rush, and the Japanese army has set up checkpoints, and if the army takes a detour, it will definitely waste time.
As a result, there were more incidents of guerrilla attacks on Japanese outposts.
Obviously, these situations were fed back and did not get the attention of the Japanese army, they just regarded them as small things such as anti-Japanese organizations attacking the outposts to get replenishment, and directly handed them over to the garrison to deal with.
The Japanese had no idea that these checkpoint attacks were not related to each other on the surface, and were no longer even on the same line. But in fact, the new 38th Brigade deliberately did it in order to open up a passage to the Yangtze River.
They would not have imagined that an army of thousands of men would pass silently in their occupied territory.
"Follow Brigade Commander Luo, their marching speed. You should be able to reach Cihu Town tonight. ”
"Didn't the Japanese army move any way?"
"The Japanese troops in Xuancheng began to concentrate in Wuhu today. It is estimated that the Japanese army will also cross the river and head north in the near future. Guo Weiquan said.
"It seems that Shunroku Hata has woven a big net for our honorary first division, and wants to eat us under the net in one bite." Qiu Qingquan walked over with a teacup and said.
"Hehe, I'm afraid that Shunroku Hata hasn't woven this net yet, and we have given us a hole in the bucket." Leng Feng sneered, and his hand tapped on the position of Quan Jiao.
"We can't wait for the Japanese to tie our pockets one by one, right?"
"Of course, although it's not clear right now. But all kinds of signs show that the Japanese army has a posture of encircling us, and we must also expand our living space, so we can't wait, recovering Quanjiao is the first step, and the next step is Liuhe. ”
"Chief, Shizao, weasel call, they have roughly figured out the situation of the Japanese army in Liuhe City, and the defense map is on the way back. According to the conclusion of their reconnaissance, the Japanese troops in Liuhe County had only a small number of heavy weapons. If they do the internal response, there is no problem in taking Liuhe County! ”
"Then inform Liao Sen, prepare to capture Liuhe immediately, and attack as soon as the time is ripe." Leng Feng ordered.
"Yes!"
"We have to compete with the Japanese army now, we can't wait, we can't delay, we don't care about Chief Li's side for now, we can't take care of it, we will fight first and then talk about it." Leng Feng said heavily.
"Your idea, I support it, after recovering Liuhe, let's take Chuxian again, and completely cut off the back road of the little devil." Qiu Qingquan said.
"Division, where do you say the battlefield of our decisive battle with the 13th Division of the Japanese Army will be?" Leng Feng asked with a smile.
"North of the Chi River, south of the Huai River!"
"The heroes see the same thing, if we can surround the Japanese 13th Division in such an area, it will not be far from annihilating this Japanese army." Leng Feng laughed.
"Did you have this idea in the battle plan for the southern front that you gave to Commander Li?" Qiu Qingquan asked.
"Although I didn't write it explicitly, Chief Li should be able to see what I think, and if he did, he wouldn't be Chief Li." Leng Feng nodded.
"Around the battlefield of this decisive battle, we must be prepared from now on." Leng Feng said, "There is no need to worry about food and ammunition, the key is operation, the current weather conditions are not good for the Japanese army, and it also ties our hands and feet." ”
"I've seen the direction of the wind, and the northwest wind is blowing today, and it is estimated that it will be better tomorrow, and the weather is favorable for us." Qiu Qingquan said.
"Good!"
The night was hazy, and the icy river water lapped against the riverbank, making a burst of waves.
The new 38th Brigade took two days and one day. At night, I finally arrived at the edge of the Yangtze River in Cihu Town, and thousands of people poured into this small town on the edge of the Yangtze River, and it suddenly became crowded.
"Isn't there a ferry to pick us up across the river, what about the ferry?" The officers and soldiers crowded the river, stretching their necks to look at the river.
"It shouldn't have arrived yet, the appointed time is nine o'clock in the evening, and it's only half past eight, and there is still half an hour?" Qin Yankun raised his hand and looked at his watch.
"Old Qin, how is the visibility on the river?"
"It's okay, it's three or four hundred meters."
The temporary headquarters was located in a warehouse on a dock by the river, and several radios were turned on to pick up the invisible radio messages in the air.
"Brigade seat, the intelligence team reports that the Japanese army has left Xuancheng and assembled in Wuhu!"
"It seems that the Japanese army, like us, wants to cross the river and go north." Luo Yufeng frowned, this is not good news.
"Lao Luo, how is it, is there any news of the cold head?" Qin Yankun pushed the door in, took off his coat and handed it to the guard at the door and asked.
"Just turned on, calling, it should be soon!"
"Brigade, the Third Theater Commander's Department sent a telegram, asking why our department did not return to the establishment and acted without authorization?" The confidential staff officer reported, "Please report the location immediately, this order, Gu Mosan, commander of the third theater." ”
"Lao Qin, how do you call back?"
"Wait until you cross the river." Qin Yankun gritted his teeth, at this time, it is best not to answer, as long as he crosses the river, the third war zone will not be able to control himself.
"Well, don't call back just yet." Luo Yufeng commanded.
"Yes!"
"Chief Leng has called!"
"Read!"
"Luo and Qin, order your troops to quickly cross the river and go north, I have sent a car regiment to station in Wujiang Town, after your troops land on the shore, you can take a car directly to Yuxikou, be sure to occupy Yuxikou before six o'clock tomorrow evening, and establish a blocking position. Leng Feng, at eight o'clock in the evening of the first month of the twenty-seventh year of the Republic of China. ”
"Six o'clock, is the time in a hurry, we still don't know the situation of the Japanese troops stationed in Yuxikou......" A trace of worry flashed on Qin Yankun's face.
"Leng Tou'er does things, he has always planned and then moved, I think he must have thought about it for us a long time ago, Lao Qin, prepare to cross the river." Luo Yufeng gently patted Qin Yankun's shoulder and smiled.
"That's right."
