The telegram drafted by the General Staff Office of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in Southern Anhui was soon sent to the headquarters of the First Group Army.

After reading the telegram, Shangguan Yunxiang's face suddenly turned blue with anger, in fact, the wording of the telegram drafted by the General Staff Office of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army in Southern Anhui was already very mild, but no matter how mild the wording was, it could not avoid the fact that Xu Shijiu warned Shangguan Yunxiang, Shangguan Yunxiang, as the commander-in-chief of the dignified First Group Army, how could he stand this? If he is not angry, then he is called a ghost.

However, being angry was angry, but Shangguan Yunxiang still sent an urgent telegram to 19 Pei, ordering them to stop advancing.

Obviously, Shangguan Yunxiang also has some scruples, if 19 Pei enters Longkou County, and Xu 19 stabs this matter directly to Chongqing through the hands of the Communist Party, Chairman Jiang is afraid that he will not be able to hang on his face, especially now that the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui is launching a spring offensive, 19 Pei's robbery is easy to give people unnecessary associations, thinking that the First Group Army is cooperating with the Japanese army.

If public opinion is exposed to the light of day, it will be a big trouble, and not only will the Communist Party try by all means to mobilize public opinion, but most of the Western envoys in Chongqing will also come forward to exert pressure on Chairman Chiang, and under the pressure of the ministers of Western countries in China, Chairman Chiang will make a scapegoat for Shangguan Yun, and that would be too unjust.

Therefore, for the sake of this black gauze hat on your head, don't act rashly for the time being.

However, Shangguan Yunxiang obviously wouldn't swallow this breath easily, holding the telegram in his hand, Shangguan Yunxiang looked at the direction of Longkou from afar, and said gloomily: "Xu Nineteen, you wait for me, wait for you to be deflated under the hands of Little Japan, see how Lao Tzu cleans you up, at that time Lao Tzu has to make you look good, hum"

Obviously, Shangguan Yunxiang was not optimistic about this spring offensive of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui.

Originally, the Third Theater had more than 200,000 troops from several major group armies, and none of them dared to launch a large-scale offensive against Little Japan. Isn't that just looking for death? Wait, when this battle is over, how many people will be left in the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui? hum

Having the same view as Shangguan Yun is Gu Zhutong, commander-in-chief of the Third Theater of Operations.

As early as a few days ago, there was a rumor coming over from Longkou, claiming that Xu Shijiu was going to fight Chizhou, but Gu Zhutong didn't believe it at all.

Chizhou: What kind of place is that? It is an important node on the Yangtze River waterway, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a military fortress, and it may not be able to take more than 200,000 troops in the third theater, and it may not be able to take it. Xu Shijiu was really a toad yawning, so big.

Gu Zhutong's initial judgment was the same as Huang Baitao's, thinking that Xu Shijiu still wanted to divert the attention of Little Japan, ostensibly to attack Chizhou, but in fact it was the idea of Tongling County, as for Weishenme to fight Tongling, it was naturally to meet the batch of military supplies that had just been shipped from Shanghai yesterday, this batch of materials not only had the equipment to build a small arsenal, but also a full set of weapons and equipment enough to arm a B division.

Although this batch of weapons and equipment is not Gu Zhutong's favorite American equipment, but only Japanese weapons, it is still very important for the current Third War Zone

Therefore, Gu Zhutong also made up his mind to grab this batch of materials.

Then, after receiving a secret telegram from Chen Gongshu, the head of the Shanghai Station of the Military Command, Gu Zhutong was even more overjoyed, in addition to ordering Huang Baitao to transfer a division from the P Army to infiltrate Tongling, he also transferred the Rong Pre Division to the territory of Jing County, preparing to meet Huang Baitao's army when necessary.

In short, the three theaters of operations are ready for everything to receive supplies.

However, a telegram that Huang Baitao had just sent to the Chief's Department made Gu Zhutong puzzled.

Until now, the anti-Japanese salvation army in southern Anhui has not increased troops to Tongling, from the beginning to the present, only Li Zihan a regiment is attacking Tongling County, due to the lack of troops, Li Zihan's troops have not been able to open the situation until now, and they have not even been able to break through the city wall fortifications of Tongling, and the battle situation is still in a stalemate.

This situation made Gu Zhutong very confused.

If Xu 19 had the idea of fighting Tongling County from the beginning, then this situation should never have happened, taking advantage of the fact that the main force of the Chizhou Japanese army in Haneda was blocked by the 40th Division near Xiaofang Mountain, Xu 19 didn't hurry up to mobilize troops to reinforce Li Zihan's department, and didn't he hurry up to take Tongling County, and then turn back to meet the main force of the Chizhou Japanese army in Haneda?

Xu Shijiu is so sluggish and slow to react, this is not like his style.

Could it be that Xu Shijiu really wants to fight Chizhou? This guy really dares to think, he really dares to think

Even though Haneda had already left Chizhou with the main force of the Chizhou Military Police and the 56th Independent Infantry Brigade, there was still a marine brigade of the Japanese Navy stationed at the Chizhou wharf, and besides, Chizhou was only a stone's throw away from Anqing, and the Japanese troops in Hefei and Jiujiang could also arrive within a day

However, is it possible for the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese Salvation Army to take Chizhou in one day? Is it possible?

"Xu Nineteen, I'll see how you end up this time" Gu Zhutong withdrew his gaze from the big map on the wall, turned to the direction of the northwest dragon mouth, and smiled gloomily, with a slightly more hideous expression on his face.

Haneda held the saber pillar in front of him, and the expression on his face was so gloomy that he could almost blow frost.

It was not easy to defeat the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese Salvation Army that relied on Xiaofang Mountain to resist desperately, however, it was met with stubborn resistance from the Chinese army less than five miles forward, and what surprised the old devil Haneda was that this time it was not the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese Salvation Army that stood in front of it, but the Central Army of the National Government, and the number should be the 40th Division of the First Army

What's going on here? More than two months ago, didn't the Kuomintang and the Communist Party just have a friction? As the main participant in the Southern Anhui Incident, the 25th Army really killed a lot of the New Fourth Army, but the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army and the New Fourth Army had a close relationship.

Once the 40th Division was involved, it was not good news for the Japanese army.

Judging from the combat situation, the combat effectiveness of the 40th Division is not very strong, and it is not much stronger than the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army that has just been defeated, but the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army that has just been annihilated has less than one regiment of troops, while the 40th Division has six or seven thousand people, and they rely on the road from Chizhou to Tongling, and have arranged more than 20 lines of defense in front of and back, and have fortified layers of defense to resist, so it is still a headache.

Yamamoto Shaoza, the captain of the 56th Independent Infantry Brigade, has just sent someone to report that his forward squad has broken through the third line of defense of the 40th Division, but it is only the third line of defense, if you want to break through all the 20 or so lines of defense, how can it be until dawn tomorrow, the question is, can the defenders of Tongling County still hold out until dawn tomorrow?

Moreover, Haneda's biggest concern is not Tongling, but Chizhou

Originally, Haneda wanted to resolve the crisis in Tongling in one fell swoop with a thunderous momentum, and then quickly return to Chizhou, but now, but on the way was stubbornly blocked by the Chinese army, Tongling County is out of reach, back to Chizhou, I don't know how long to delay, at this time once something happens in Chizhou, it will be a dilemma.

The only thing to be thankful for is that until now, there has been no accident in Chizhou.

However, Haneda does not know how long the silence in Chizhou will last, maybe the next moment the anti-Japanese salvation army in southern Anhui will launch a fierce attack on Chizhou, Haneda now only hopes that the Yamamoto brigade can break through the defense line of the 40th Division of the National Army as soon as possible, can relieve the crisis in Tongling County as soon as possible, and then return to Chizhou as soon as possible.
