Shu Tongwen said: "If this matter is made through diplomatic channels, it will take several days no matter how fast it is, right?" ”

Ye Ruxue also had a worried face, and said in a low voice: "If nothing else, it will take at least three days."

"Three days?" Gao Shenxing's eyes widened and said, "In other words, we have to hold the county seat of Tongling for at least three days?" ”

Shu Tongwen said: "I'm afraid it's unlikely to hold for three days, the three detachments in Jiangbei have just sent a telegram that the 13th Brigade of the Little Japanese Independent Mixed Brigade stationed in Hefei has been launched, although the three detachments will do their best to delay the march of the Little Japan, but at most, it will delay the Little Japan for one day, that is to say, two days later, the 13th Brigade of the Little Japanese Independent Mixed Brigade will definitely arrive in Tongling."

"Not only the 13th Brigade of the Little Japanese Independent Mixed Brigade stationed in Hefei, but also the 14th Independent Mixed Brigade in Jiujiang." Gao Shenxing continued, "This is not as good as the last time in Hulu Valley, if you want to hold Tongling County for three days under the heavy pressure of the two independent mixed brigades of Little Japan, it is really not my own depressing words, I am afraid it will be difficult." ”

Shu Tongwen shook his head and said, "I'm not afraid, it's impossible." ”

Everyone's eyes focused on Xu Shijiu, such a big matter still needs Xu Shijiu to make a decision.

Xu Shijiu had been looking at the reckless mountains outside the window of the headquarters in a daze, and everyone didn't seem to hear the discussion just now.

Gao Shenxing was obviously dissatisfied with Xu Shijiu's distraction at such a critical juncture, and said unhappily at the moment: "Old Xu, what do you say? ”

Xu Shijiu's eyes regained focus, and then looked back at everyone, and said, "There's something, don't you think it's strange?" ”

Gao Shenxing, Niu Sigen, and Ye Ruxue looked at each other, not knowing what Xu Shijiu was talking about.

Only Shu Tongwen vaguely heard it and asked, "Captain, do you mean Huang Baitao's first army?" ”

"What's so strange about Huang Baitao's army?" Gao Shenxing frowned and said, "Doesn't he just want to pick up some bargains."

"That's right." Xu Shijiu nodded and said, "We launched a spring offensive, Huang Baitao wants to pick up some cheap, this is indeed a reasonable thing, this can not only raise supplies, but also fight the Japanese army, it can be said to be a good thing to kill two birds with one stone, however, Huang Baitao wants to pick up cheap, Weishenme does not go to a few big towns in Tongling County, but nests in Xiaofang Mountain at the junction of Tongling Chizhou?" ”

"Hiss......" Gao Shenxing muttered, "Lao Xu, let you analyze it like this, this matter is really a little strange

"So, I was just thinking that maybe that batch of munitions wasn't on the Rose at all." Xu Nineteen said.

"Huh? That batch of munitions wasn't on the Rose at all? Gao Shenxing, Niu Sigen, and Ye Ruxue looked at each other, this time even Shu Tongwen couldn't keep up with Xu Shijiu's thinking, and said in amazement, "Captain, the 40th Division of Huang Baitao's army ran to Xiaofang Mountain at the junction of Chizhou and Tongling, how can it be said that the military supplies are not on the Rose?" ”

"Awen, Lao Gao, Lao Niu, you come here." Xu Shijiu spread out the map, and then found Xiaofang Mountain at the junction of Chizhou and Tongling counties from the map, and then moved up from Xiaofang Mountain slightly, stopping at Changshao's side, and then said, "Here, do you see what is wrong?" ”

"Bull's head mouth?" Niu Sigen asked, "This is a small fishing village, what can be the problem?" ”

Xu Shijiu said: "The problem is not the bull head mouth itself, but what Chen Shizhang's 40th division went to the cow head mouth?"

Gao Shenxing said with some disbelief: "Old Xu, how do you know that Chen Shizhang's 40th Division went to Niutouzui?"

"I don't know, but I'm sure that after Chen Shizhang's 40th Division finished fighting Xiaofangshan, it went to Niutouzui." Xu Shijiu said with great certainty, "You'll know later." ”

For the Kuomintang army in the third theater, Xu Shijiu always kept an eye on it.

Even in such a big operation, Xu Shijiu would rather endure the embarrassment of insufficient troops, and did not transfer Li Shuanggun's regiment to Chizhou or Tongling, in order to prevent Gu Zhutong and Shangguan Yunxiang from stumbling behind his back.

In fact, as soon as Chen Shizhang's 40th Division arrived near Xiaofang Mountain, Xu 19 had already ordered Peng Wu's cavalry battalion to closely monitor it, and every two hours, Peng Wu would report the latest movements of the 40th Division to Yan Yi, and the last time the cavalry battalion reported was two hours ago, when Chen Shizhang's 40th Division was still cleaning the battlefield in Xiaofang Mountain.

Calculating the time, the next group of signal soldiers of the cavalry battalion is also about to arrive.

However, as soon as Xu Shijiu's words fell, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly came from outside the headquarters.

Not long after, a dusty cavalry strode in and reported to Xu Shijiu: "Commander, Chen Shizhang's 40th Division suddenly turned around and went north, going to Niutouzui, our battalion originally wanted to see what the 40th Division was going to Niutouzui, but the 40th Division put a guard post ten miles outside Niutouzui, and our scouts couldn't get close at all." ”

"What? Chen Shizhang's 40th division really went to Niutouzui? Gao Shenxing looked at Xu Shijiu with strange eyes, but he was thinking in his heart, Lao Xu should not be the reincarnation of Liu Bowen, can he be pinched? However, he still couldn't understand whether Chen Shizhang's 40th Division went to Niutouzuiyu, and asked Xu Shijiu at the moment, "But Old Xu, does Chen Shizhang go to Niutouzuiyu?" ”

Xu Shijiu did not answer Gao Shenxing, but looked back at Ye Ruxue and said coldly: "Director Ye, you have been tricked. ”

"Well, I was tricked?" Ye Ruxue's beautiful eyes shrank slightly, and asked, "You mean, that batch of materials is not on the Rose?" ”

"Yes, that batch of materials will never be on the Rose" Xu Shijiu squinted his eyes slightly, and said in a deep voice, "If I guessed correctly, Chen Gongshu, the head of the Shanghai Station of the Military Command, should have used the package drop plan, the Rose is just a disguise, there must be another ship that really consigns the materials, and the delivery location must be in Niutouzui."

"Bag drop?" Ye Ruxue said, "There is another merchant ship? ”

"Awesome, awesome." Xu Shijiu said, "Chen Gongshu not only deceived the No. 76 headquarters of the Wang puppet government, but also deceived Director Ye, you and me, if I hadn't felt it just now, I was afraid that when Huang Baitao transported that batch of military supplies back to Jing County, we would still be in the dark." ”

(Dividing Line)

The old cat poked his head out of the reeds, looked at the small fishing village not far away, and said with a cruel smile: "Chen Gongshu wants to deceive my old cat, he is still a little tender, hehe." ”

"Old cat, how do you know that the supplies have been dropped?" Yan Sanquan looked at the two national soldiers who were on guard with guns not far away and asked.

"Captain Yan, our ancestors have a saying, if you don't want people to know, you can't do it unless you don't do it." The old cat smiled, and then said, "To say, Chen Gongshu and the military commander are really beautiful this time, I thought that the anti-Japanese salvation army in southern Anhui was going to fight Tongling with great fanfare, and there was no need for the military commander to hide it, so we relaxed our vigilance, but we didn't expect that Chen Gongshu actually gave us a trick, the Rose is just a disguise, and the St. Mary is the true god." ”

Yan Sanquan said: "But, old cat, even if we know now, I'm afraid we won't be able to stop them, right?" In this case, the materials have basically been delivered ashore, even if the small Japanese navy in Chizhou and Tongling rushes over now, it will be too late, and it is even more to count on the old devil of Haneda, the old devil has already frightened Xu Shijiu.

The old cat said: "The old devil of Haneda certainly frightened Xu Nineteen, even if he borrowed the courage of the two of them, he would never dare to bring the Japanese army from Chizhou to intercept this batch of supplies, but the old devil of Haneda did not dare to take it, but he didn't mean that others did the same, Captain Yan, you said that if I revealed the news to Xu Nineteen, what would he do?"

"Good fellow, you want to drive the tiger and the wolf?" Yan said with three fists and two eyes.

If the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army can really fight with Huang Baitao's army because of this batch of military supplies, then the whole situation in southern Anhui will be completely different, and no matter how strong the fighting power of the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army is, it will never be possible to defeat Huang Baitao's first army in two days, as long as both sides

After two days of stalemate, the Japanese troops stationed in Hefei and Jiujiang will be able to arrive.

At that time, not to mention this batch of materials, even the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in Southern Anhui and Huang Baitao's army had to be wiped out.

The old cat smiled and said, "Without further ado, Captain Yan, you quickly send someone to deliver a letter to the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui." ”

Yan Sanquan said: "I know that the cavalry battalion of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui is stationed in Xiaowang Village, so I will send someone over." ”

With that, the two quietly retreated back into the already green reeds.
