-- Taizhou

The Taizhou army platoons were neatly arranged, and Ji Gang stood beside Li Changjiang and said, "General Li, everything is ready to go, according to our intelligence, our opponent has less than two regiments of troops, and it will definitely be broken in one battle."

Li Changjiang nodded, looked at the direction of Huangqiao and said, "Let people go and greet the New Fourth Army first, just say that we are going over, and then order a battalion to advance in a row." ”

Ji Gang asked, "In this art of war, it is said that soldiers are noble and fast, where is the reason to tell them first?" Besides, what is this lined up for? ”

Li Changjiang snorted, "What do you know? The New Fourth Army and my eldest brother have long had a tacit understanding, my eldest brother called and said that they had already started fighting, and they had been fighting for two or three hours, and they hadn't even seen blood, and the New Fourth Army would definitely think that we were also pretending, so we wouldn't be on guard, and the first ones in front were your subordinates, so we must control it, and we must not hit a New Fourth Army without an order! ”

Ji Gang sighed and immediately went down to prepare.

Yang Meisheng was born in the old Red Army, walked the Long March Road, and also commanded the troops to shoot down planes on the Long March Road, and was an experienced commander and fighter. ”

The officer smiled and arched his hand and said, "Sir, you know, our Taizhou Army and your New Fourth Army have always had contacts, and they have a lot of friendship with each other, I didn't want to come this time, they were all forced by Han Deqin with Chongqing's military order, no, our General Li asked me to report it, this time it must be fought, but isn't it still particular about how to fight." ”

Yang Meisheng said hehehe, "I understand, please tell General Li that Han Deqin's brazen friction war regardless of the overall situation of resistance against Japan will not end well, thank General Li for his help, and our New Fourth Army will be grateful in the future!" ”

After sending off the Taizhou military envoy, the staff officer next to him asked, "Regiment commander, do we still need to prepare?" ”

Yang Meisheng nodded and said, "After all, they are warlord troops, no one can tell what will happen, order the troops to prepare for battle, the muzzles of the guns are all fired upwards first, and no one is allowed to hurt without an order!" ”

Soon, Li Changjiang's troops came to Yang Meisheng's position less than a mile ago, Yang Meisheng looked at Li Changjiang's troops in a neat row, walked towards his position, nodded and said, "It seems that Li Changjiang is really ready to act with us, such a dense formation, isn't this a target?" ”

Then Li Changjiang's troops, the muzzle of the gun fired a shot, the New Fourth Army also fired a shot into the sky, and suddenly both sides were relieved, Li Changjiang's troops took a step and stopped, shooting from time to time, the New Fourth Army side kept firing back at first, and slowly felt a little distressed about the bullets, and stopped shooting, just shouting somewhere.

Yang Meisheng slowly frowned and said, "Why doesn't this Li Changjiang stop, it's less than two hundred meters." ”

As he spoke, Yang Meisheng shouted to the communication soldiers next to him, "Immediately stop them, let the machine strafe their front, and warn them." ”

A burst of machine gun fire swept less than 20 meters in front of Li Changjiang's troops, and Li Changjiang's subordinates suddenly stopped. Li Changjiang looked at it and said to the communication soldier next to him, "It's almost over, I can't play it anymore, immediately order Ji Gang to charge!" ”

Yang Meisheng was looking at the position and felt that something was wrong, suddenly a charge horn sounded, all of Li Changjiang's artillery opened fire together, Yang Meisheng's position suddenly thick smoke billowed and dirt flew in all directions, Yang Meishan was taken aback, and hurriedly shouted, "Hurry up and prepare to counterattack!" Prepare to fight back!! ”

But Li Changjiang's troops had already touched Yang Meisheng's position less than a hundred meters, Li Changjiang's subordinates shot desperately, grenades were thrown out like raindrops, Ji Gang knew that victory or defeat was here at the front line, and shouted loudly, "They only have one battalion, killing the past is victory, and a head reward of 20 silver dollars!" Kill!! ”

Under the heavy reward, Li Changjiangbu was red-eyed, and rushed to Yangmeisheng's position like crazy, Yangmeishan found that the enemy was really not finished with bullets after reaching a point, and the corpses of Ji Gang's subordinates were piled up on top of each other, but they never stopped, a hundred meters was not far away, and soon Ji Gang's department rushed into the trench.

Hand-to-hand combat began, the New Fourth Army picked up the rifle with bayonets, the sapper shovel, and the broadsword to meet it, a soldier yelled, a stab, but heard a "Baga!" A short enemy skillfully blocked a backstab, and the soldier's eyes widened, blood gushed out of his throat, and he pointed at the soldier and slowly uttered two words, "Devil??? ”

The soldier kicked the New Fourth Army soldier away, and then covered with the two soldiers to kill another target.

Yang Meisheng's subordinates are less than four or five hundred, as soon as he saw that Li Changjiang actually attacked, he knew that he couldn't hold it here, this was no longer an enemy that could be defeated by hard work, he was even more anxious that his back was Huangqiao, and Jiang Yan's enemy army would also suddenly attack, he hurriedly asked people to send a report, and let people ride horses to send information out, and when everything was done, he was relieved, and at this time he also learned the news that the Japanese army appeared on the front line.

Yang Meisheng said angrily, "It turns out that the Taizhou Army has surrendered to the Japanese devils, damn it, good people don't do it, they actually want to be dogs!" Comrades, we will die and bite off a piece of their flesh, everyone, take up arms and follow me to the front!! ”

Han Deqin on the other side got the news that the Taizhou Army had broken through the back road of Huangqiao, and excitedly said to Weng Da and others, "Look at it, the Taizhou Army actually broke through the back road of the New Fourth Army, and we are going to win!" ”

Onda asked a little strangely, "Is this the case?" Why is this L so ruthless all of a sudden? Didn't he fight in Jiangyan and the New Fourth Army for a long time and didn't make any movement? ”

Han Deqin shook his head and said, "I don't understand either, but it should be true, if he rushes to spread the military information, do you think the chairman will let him go?" Order the troops, immediately start a defensive counterattack, and be sure to hold out until the Taizhou army arrives. ”

-- Nanjing

Itagaki Seishiro looked at the telegram, nodded and smiled, "Wow, the door of the New Fourth Army is wide open, Chen Yi should be defeated this time." ”

Nishio asked, "So what do we do next?" ”

Itagaki Seishiro touched his beard and said, "The New Fourth Army will definitely not give up this time, and will definitely launch a counterattack against Han Deqin, and Li Pinxian and Gu Zhutong will definitely participate in the war at that time, I think we can prepare and serve these people in one pot!" ”

Nishio said haha, "Okay! That's it!! ”

-- Huang Qiao

Chen Yi looked at the communication soldier covered in blood, and asked in disbelief, "The Taizhou army really broke through the defense line?" ”

The signal soldier cried and nodded, and said, "Our regimental commander led the brothers to fight to the death until the last moment, and now it is not known whether they are alive or dead. ”

Chen Yi slammed his fist against the wall, looked at the map, shook his head and said, "In this way, Jiang Yan should also move, our main force has been pinned down in the direction of Han Deqin, okay, united front, united front, the result is lost in these two words!" It's my fault.... No, we can't fight like this, if we continue to fight like this, we will be in danger of annihilation, immediately send a telegram to the military department, explain our situation, request to evacuate Huangqiao, and then everyone bring more ammunition and food, Han Deqin They will not let us leave like this, and ordered Su Yu to immediately move closer to our department and prepare to break through. ”

The staff officer next to him asked, "Where are we going to break through?" ”

Chen Yi pulled the map and said, "Nantong! The loyal and righteous army here has the worst combat effectiveness, first break through to Nantong, and then discuss the next step with the military department, as long as our main force is preserved, we still have a chance. ”

Su Yu, who was attacking Han Deqin, got the telegram and couldn't help but be taken aback, he looked at Han Deqin, who was constantly repairing the fortifications, and then suddenly said, "No wonder Han Deqin is suddenly honest, it turns out that he is waiting for the back." ”

The staff officer next to him said, "Commander, what should we do?" ”

Su Yu thought for a while and said, "We retreat like this, we will definitely be chased and attacked by Han Deqin, let alone break through when the time comes, it would be good not to be surrounded, this is the plain of Pingchuan again, wait, wait until the evening and then go, order the second team to ambush near Taoyuan Village first, and wait for our army to retreat, once Han Deqin chases, immediately counterattack, so that he does not dare to get too close, the third team first goes to Huangqiao to meet Commander Chen, and then launches an attack on Nantong." ”

-- Nantong

Hu Chuankui was planning how to go back to take revenge, when he suddenly heard a burst of explosions, he hurriedly walked out of the house and asked, "What's wrong?" What's wrong? Is it the New Fourth Army that is coming? ”

An officer dressed in a crooked suit ran over and said, "Report to the commander, the New Fourth Army has suddenly launched a fierce attack on our army, and the vanguard of our army has been dispersed. ”

Hu Chuankui scratched his head strangely and said, "What's going on." Don't sleep at night? ”

A soldier ran over and said, "Chairman Han ordered that the New Fourth Army has been defeated due to the attack of the Taizhou Army, and ordered our army to defend the crossing and not let the New Fourth Army leave." ”

Hu Chuankui muttered, "Defend the crossing? Quick, go and find out how many New Fourth Army there are in front of us. ”

The sound of explosions and gunfire became more and more intense, Hu Chuankui's heart was beating faster and faster, and soon the news came that the New Fourth Army in front of him was no longer one or two regiments at the beginning, but more than 10,000 people, and a large number of mortars, mountain artillery and other heavy weapons appeared.

This thing is not afraid of people to do it, but afraid of people chattering, this Hu Chuankui just thought of this stubble, and there was a message over there, "Defeated, defeated." Screams.

Hu Chuankui jumped up and down, regardless of whether it was a real defeat or a fake defeat, and immediately said, "Quick." Quickly send a telegram to Chairman Han, saying that Ye Ting and Chen Yi personally led troops to attack, and our army suffered more than half of the casualties, and was forced to evacuate, go!! Immediately go to Evergreen Town. ”

When it was dawn, Chen Yi, Ye Fei and others had already come to Shiqiao Town between Nantong and Huangqiao, Chen Yi looked at the radio anxiously and asked, "Isn't there any news of Su Yu yet?" ”

The messenger shook his head and said, "Not yet. ”

Ye Fei said comfortingly, "Commander, don't worry, this Commander Su is the most capable of fighting in our New Fourth Army, and it will definitely be fine." ”

Chen Yi shook his head, put his hands behind his back, and continued to walk anxiously.

The communication soldier suddenly said with a light eye: "There you have it!" Pregnant! As he spoke, the communication soldier took a telegram full of passwords and handed it to the translator, and after a while, a telegram was translated, Chen Yi looked at it, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he said again and again, "Okay!" All right!! ”

Saying that, Chen Yi handed the telegram to the signal soldier and said, "Forward it to the military headquarters immediately, Han Deqin chased our army's Su Yu Division, was ambushed by our army, and lost more than 3,000 people, our army has been safely transferred to the Nantong area, asking for follow-up orders." ”

-- The military headquarters of the New Fourth Army

It was bright all night last night, Liu Dake, Ye Ting, Xiang Ying and others were all guarding the radio, constantly waiting for the latest news, until Chen Yi's telegram came up, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Ye Ting stood up, looked at the map and said, "Nantong... Further east here is the sea, our army's turnover is not large, our army is only temporarily out of danger, now Chen Yi's troops and our army are cut off from communications, they have no ammunition supply, if the national army pursues them fiercely, it is very dangerous. ”

Xiang Ying lowered his head and said, "The main responsibility this time lies with me, I didn't see through the reactionary front of the Taizhou army, and blindly believed our previous information, I will write a review to Yan'an." ”

Liu Dake frowned and said, "What are you talking about, I am the person in charge sent by the party, and I am responsible for it." ”

Saying that, Liu Da said hatefully, "I didn't expect this Taizhou Erli to be so good at acting." We've all fallen for them. ”

Ye Ting shook his head at this time and said, "I can't see it right, I'm afraid it's just Li Changjiang, Li Ming and Yang Bacheng don't know about it at all." ”

Xiang Ying stood up and said, "It's all come to this point, and we don't have to say anything good about them anymore." ”

Ye Ting pointed to the map and said, "I am analyzing from a military point of view, Li Changjiang's sneak attack on our army is indeed the reason for this failure, but you see, if I am Li Mingyang to do this, I will not only let Li Changjiang sneak attack our army, I will also personally lead the troops to Dalun Town, surround my blocking troops, so that at least one of my regiments can be swallowed, and now, Li Changjiang's results here are not small, but Li Mingyang did not move in the end, so I judge that there must be a problem between the two Li, at least, this matter, Li Changjiang did not tell Li Mingyang. ”

Liu Dake looked at the map and said, "It makes sense, and Chen Yi sent an important piece of information, this time there were Japanese figures in Li Changjiang's troops, can we judge that the Taizhou army has been infiltrated or controlled by the Japanese." ”

Xiang Ying touched his chin and said, "If that's the case, then I'm afraid the Japanese have some big conspiracy." (To be continued.) )
