A moment later, Gao Shenxing returned to the valley a few miles away from the rear and reported the news he had detected to Xu Shijiu.

Xu Shijiu immediately convened an emergency meeting of several major military officers, Gao Shenxing, Li Zihan, Li Shuanggun, and Yang Dashu.

"That's the way it is." After Gao Shenxing finished introducing the situation of the mountain pass ahead, Xu Shijiu continued, "In the past three days, we have not been able to run a few roads, and we have spent a lot of scheming, but we have never been able to get rid of the tracking of the Ohara brigade. ”

Li Zihan said: "Since this is the case, then let's not go to Qingyang County, let's go to Yixian." ”

Qingyang County is located in the northeast of Longkou County, which belongs to the territory of the New Fourth Army, and Yixian County is located in the southeast of Longkou County, which is also controlled by the Japanese army, but there are Tang Shizun's Group Army in the territory, which belongs to the territory of the National Army.

Gao Shenxing hated the national army, and naturally he was unwilling to return to the battle sequence of the national army.

"What are you going to? If you go to Yixian, can you get rid of the tracking of the Ohara brigade? Could it be that Fujido Gaoying would not have made arrangements in advance and deployed heavy troops to intercept at the front? Gao Shenxing glanced at Li Zihan coldly, and then said, "Lao Xu, in my opinion, there is no other choice, just break in, I don't believe it, Niu Sigen can really stop us." ”

Li Shuanggun frowned and said: "Of course, Niu Sigen can't stop us, but didn't you just say that there is still an infantry brigade stationed in Chitu Village, not far from the mountain pass?" The mountain pass ahead is only four or five miles away from Chitu Village, and as soon as the gunfire goes out here, the small Japanese in Chitu Village can come over for reinforcements within fifteen minutes. ”

Yang Dashu thought about it and felt that what Li Shuanggun said made sense, so he also said: "Then let's go around again, anyway, we don't have heavy equipment, and the mountain pass in front of us can't pass, so let's change to a mountain pass, anyway, there is more than one mountain pass nearby, and it is impossible for Little Japan to block all the mountain passes leading to Yan Yi, right?" ”

"It won't work any longer." Gao Shenxing shook his head resolutely, and then said, "If we can't get rid of the tracking of the Ohara Brigade, no matter how we go around in the mountains, it will be impossible for us to avoid the encirclement and interception of Little Japan. ”

"Well, if only our cavalry battalion were there." Yang Dashu couldn't help but sigh when he heard this.

Considering that the cavalry in the mountainous area was inconvenient to move, and the Japanese army was heavily guarded outside the mountain, Xu 19 transferred the 19th cavalry battalion to Qingyang County, where the Japanese defense was relatively weak.

The reason why Xu Shijiu decided to go to Qingyang was also to join up with the cavalry battalion and restore Liliang.

Li Zihan was a little angry, and said loudly: "This can't do this, that can't work, Lao Gao, what do you say?"

"Didn't I say that? "Gao Shenxing said undoubtedly, "As long as we can break through the defense line of the puppet army within fifteen minutes, it will be too late for the small Japanese in Chitu Village to come and reinforce it." ”

"Even if you break through the defense line of the puppet army, you can be sure that there is no small Japanese interception ahead?" Li Zihan said.

"It's too risky." Li Shuanggun and Yang Dashu also objected in unison, "What if it can't be rushed?" ”

"This is not just an adventure, it is simply gambling with the lives of more than 700 brothers in the nineteenth detachment" Li Zihan said coldly, "Old Xu, you can't hesitate any longer, hurry back and go to Yixian"

"You can't go to Yixian." Gao Shen said, "I firmly oppose it. ”

"Lao Gao, what the hell do you want? Are you trying to go against me? ”

"Zihan, you think too much, and I don't have the leisure to do it against you, but I have no interest in going to Yixian and returning to the national army battle sequence."

"Lao Gao, have you forgotten that you are still in the national army."

"That's different, now our nineteen detachments are fighting independently."

"What do you mean, do you dare not accept the moderation of the national government?"

"Of course, I am cautious to whoever I give my life, and I will never give Jiang Guangtou my life."

"Gao Shenxing, you have gone too far, you dare to insult the leader?"

"What bullshit leader, fuck leader."

Gao Shenxing and Li Zihan became more and more noisy, and they had a lot of hands-on jiashi.

"Enough, shut up for me" Xu Shijiu couldn't bear it anymore and said angrily, "When is it now, you still have the leisure mood to quarrel?" ”

Gao Shenxing and Li Zihan breathed fire in their eyes, looked at each other viciously, and then looked away at the same time.

Looking at Gao Shenxing and Li Zihan, who didn't start and ignored each other, Xu Shijiu's heart suddenly moved, and suddenly a crazy and bold idea sprouted, now the nineteenth detachment is at the end of the road, maybe only this method can help the nineteenth detachment avoid this crisis.

At that moment, Xu Shijiu asked Li Shuanggun and Yang Dashu to go back first, and then followed Li Zihan to him and said, "Zihan, I want to talk to you alone." ”

Li Zihan was stunned, but Gao Shenxing walked away angrily.

"Zihan, Lao Gao has resistance to Chairman Jiang, don't take it to heart, what kind of person is he, you have been a brother with him for so long, isn't it clear?" Xu Shijiu comforted a few words, and quickly cut to the chase, "However, Lao Gao is right, let's go to Yixian, I'm afraid it's still like this." ”

Li Zihan nodded silently, Xu Nineteen was telling the truth, if he couldn't get rid of the tracking and positioning of the Ohara Brigade, no matter which direction the Nineteenth Detachment went, the 14th Brigade of the Little Japanese Independent Mixed Brigade could be arranged in advance and set up a blockade outside the mountain, so the situation would never be better than now, or even worse.

"But it's not like we're without opportunities." Xu Shijiu said in a low voice.

The two of them talked, and gradually faded away, and no more voices could be heard.

Gao Shenxing walked back and sat down on the ground in chagrin.

(Dividing Line)

Fujido Takaei played a wonderful move, and Haneda fell into a long test against the chessboard.

Taking advantage of the gap between Haneda's long exams, Fujido Takaei took a sip of the teacup.

Fujido Takaei's mood has completely relaxed, because no matter from which angle, the nineteenth detachment is absolutely unlikely to be spared this time, there is the Matsushima Brigade and the Imperial Association Army Garrison Division in the front, and if they go back or bypass, they have always gotten rid of the tracking lock of the Ohara Brigade, so they will not get anything except wandering around the mountains and wasting their physical strength and energy.

Haneda took five minutes before he finally had a flash of inspiration and made a move on the corner of the chessboard

"Good chess, Haneda-san, your chess skills have grown." Fujitang Gaoying's eyes lit up, and he said happily, "The offensive I organized with great difficulty was resolved by your chess move, not bad, really good." ”

As he spoke, Fujido Takaei also fell into the long exam, and Haneda's chess move was really tricky.

Haneda smiled quite smugly, and then said, "Your Excellency, there is something I don't know whether to say or not?" ”

Fujido Gao Ying held a sunspot and didn't land on the chessboard for a long time, and subconsciously said: "If you have something to say, just say it." ”

"Then I'll leave it at that." Haneda nodded, and said, "Your Excellency General, isn't it too risky for you to transfer Niu Sigen's brigade to intercept the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui?" After all, Niu Sigen was a senior officer of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui, and his surrender is also full of doubts, in case ......"

In order to effectively control the puppet army in southern Anhui, Haneda deliberately co-opted Niu Sigen to balance the three punches, this is a fact, but this does not mean that Haneda really trusts Niu Sigen, in the final analysis, Haneda is not stupid, and he also knows that people are unpredictable, Niu Sigen surrendered to Cheng After all, the time is still short, and it is impossible for Haneda to trust Niu Sigen without reservation now.

Fujido Takaei looked up at Haneda and said in surprise: "Haneda-san, do you suspect that Niu Sigen's surrender is fake?" ”

"Not really." Haneda shook his head, and then said, "Niu Sigen's surrender should be true, but to say that Niu Sigen is really determined to go with the imperial army and do his best for the empire from then on, it is a bit wishful thinking, so I am very worried that Niu Sigen will look at the past and let go of the anti-Japanese salvation army in southern Anhui."

Fujido Gao Ying said: "Haneda-san, you are too worried, even if it is really as you said, the past relationship between Niu Sigen and the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army is still there, but after the battle of Hulu Valley, this kind of affection has long disappeared, if I guess correctly, the people of the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army are now afraid that they are eager to eat the meat of Niu Sigen and drink the blood of Niu Sigen." ”

Haneda insisted: "Your Excellency, please forgive me, I still think that Niu Sigen can't be gullible. ”

"Haha, Haneda-san, I'm glad you're so principled." Fujitang Gaoying Daxiao said, "Actually, the reason why the brigade of Niu Sigen was transferred to intercept this time was not a test for him?" ”

"Test?" Haneda was stunned and said, "Your Excellency, what do you mean ......?"

Fujitang Gaoying nodded and said: "Yan Sanquan has already surrendered to the imperial army a long time ago, and he has the hatred of killing his father and destroying his family with the anti-Japanese salvation army in southern Anhui, so there is no problem with his loyalty, the only thing to worry about is whether he will try his best to do his best for the imperial army, but Niu Sigen's situation is completely different from Yan Sanquan." ”

"Your Excellency General, I think so too, Niu Sigen remains to be seen."

"Haneda-san, whether Niu Sigen is really committed to honesty or fake surrender, I believe there will be a clear result after tonight." Fujitang Gaoying said, slapped a shot on the chessboard, and continued, "Even if Niu Sigen is a fake surrender, it is nothing, even if the remnants of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui have passed through the defense line of Niu Sigen's first brigade, they still can't escape." ”
