Yan Yi, the temporary headquarters of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui.

Xu Shijiu looked at the map for a moment, and the expression on his face was a little solemn.

Although the whole Jihua has been made into a bamboo in his chest, Xu Shijiu is inevitably a little apprehensive, nothing else, because for the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, this is a battle that cannot be lost For the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, if this battle is not won, it will be lost, because it cannot be won, Chizhou or Tongling cannot be controlled, and the military supplies bought from Shanghai with a lot of money cannot be brought ashore, which means that the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army will eventually gain nothing.

In contrast, Xu Shijiu was most worried about the performance of the 3rd Regiment of the Southern Anhui Detachment.

The 3rd Regiment of the Southern Anhui Detachment has just been formed, with fewer troops, poor equipment, and poor combat effectiveness, originally this was just a partial division used to bluff, Xu Shijiu didn't want them to fight a tough battle at all, but the old devil Haneda suddenly led the main force of the Japanese army in Chizhou to aid Tongling, but directly pushed the 3rd Regiment to the cusp of the storm.

If the 3rd Regiment is defeated by the Japanese too quickly, with the suspicious character of the old devil Haneda, I am afraid that he will be suspicious again

Shu Tongwen was also worried about the performance of the 3rd Regiment, and he also wanted to transfer L regiments from other fronts to share the pressure on the 3rd Regiment, but unfortunately, the other two main regiments could not be transferred, and they both had tasks to say, to launch such a large-scale offensive operation, the strength of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui was still too thin, and the southern Anhui detachment was still overstretched.

At present, the strength of the anti-Japanese salvation army in southern Anhui has been fully used, of which 19 detachments are responsible for the main attack, except for Li Shuanggun's regiment has not moved, even Yang Dashu's guard battalion has been transferred to the Chizhou front, as for the southern Anhui detachment of the New Fourth Army, to block the small Japanese reinforcements in the direction of Hefei, Jiangbei, and to be responsible for containing the Japanese army in Anqing, and also responsible for blocking the Japanese army in Chizhou to reinforce Tongling County, the strength of the three regiments is already very reluctant, how can there be more troops to strengthen Zhao Laomao's 3rd regiment?

Gao Shenxing was also worried that the 3rd Regiment of the Southern Anhui Detachment would not be able to withstand it, so he persuaded Xu 19 to say: "Old Xu, the L Battalion of the regiment is currently stationed at the junction of Qingyang County and Jing County, this battalion was originally used to guard against the Jing County National Army, and it is only more than 50 miles away from the blocking position of the 3rd Regiment of the Southern Anhui Detachment, and it will take more than two hours to arrive in a hurry, why not transfer this battalion?" ”

"Nope." Xu 19 flatly refused, the regimental L battalion shouldered the heavy responsibility of controlling the national army in Jing County, once this battalion was transferred to Xiaofang Mountain, the entire east gate of Longkou would be completely open to the national army in the three war zones, with the greedy nature of Gu Zhutong and Shangguan Yunxiang, they would never let go of this opportunity to fall into the ground.

In a word, Xu Shijiu believes that Gu Zhutong and Shangguan Yunxiang are characterful.

Gao Shenxing actually didn't believe in the character of Gu Zhutong and Shangguan Yunxiang, so he sighed immediately: "Then we can only hope for Zhao Laomao's 3rd regiment, I hope Lao Zhao won't let us down." ”

Xu Shijiu turned his head to look at Shu Tongwen, and stopped talking.

Of course, Shu Tongwen knew what Xu Shijiu wanted to say, and said excitedly at the moment: "Captain, I don't dare to guarantee anything else, but I can use my own party spirit to guarantee that the 3rd Regiment will never insult the reputation of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui."

Shu Tongwen's voice fell, and Wang Xiaomao, the commander of the guard battalion, walked in, and said to Shu Tongwen with a solemn expression: "Detachment leader, I just received the news that the friendly army sent back, and the 3rd regiment has been martyred. ”

"What, the whole regiment was martyred?" Shu Tongwen was like thunder.

To be honest, Shu Tongwen thought that the 3rd Regiment would be very heroic, but he never thought that it would be so heroic

Gao Shenxing, Niu Sigen and others also looked at each other, they also didn't think that a newly formed army would have such a strong combat effectiveness, and they really underestimated Ah Wen before.

Xu Shijiu was also furious, and said in a deep voice: "The brothers of the 3rd regiment are all good."

Then, Xu Shijiu turned to look at Shu Tongwen again, and said solemnly: "Ah Wen, I solemnly want to Daoqian to you for doubting the combat effectiveness of the 3rd Regiment just now, and I want to Daoqian to all the officers and soldiers of the 3rd Regiment."

After speaking, Xu Shijiu turned around and bowed deeply in the direction of Xiaofang Mountain.

After bowing, Xu Shijiu got up again and asked Wang Xiaomao: "Xiaomao, where has the Japanese army in Chizhou arrived now?"

Zhao Laomao's 3rd Regiment performed so bravely in Xiaofang Mountain, and the old devil Haneda was suspicious, and at this moment he should also believe that the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army would take Tongling as the main direction of attack, so now, he has probably taken the main force of the Japanese army in Chizhou deep into Tongling, and then next, it will depend on the performance of Li Zihan's 1st Regiment to see if they have the ability to drag the main force of the Japanese army in Chizhou in Tongling County.

"No, the Japanese army in Chizhou is still near Xiaofang Mountain." However, Wang Xiaomao's next words made Xu Shijiu almost unable to believe his ears.

"What, the Japanese army in Chizhou is still near Xiaofang Mountain?" Xu Shijiu lost his voice and said, "How is this possible?" ”

"Commander, that's right." Wang Xiaomao explained, "When the 3rd Regiment was fighting fiercely with the Japanese army in Chizhou, the 40th Division of the National Army had already built a defensive line on the right side of Xiaofang Mountain, and now the 40th Division has exchanged fire with the Japanese army in Chizhou. ”

"The 40th Division? Chen Shizhang's troops? Xu Shijiu smiled and said, "How can this be?" ”

Gao Shenxing, Shu Tongwen, Niu Sigen and others also looked at each other in an instant, they did not calculate that Huang Baitao and Chen Shizhang would come in sideways, Huang Baitao and Chen Shizhang were afraid that they had good intentions, but they blocked the main force of the Chizhou Japanese army of Haneda's old devil to the west of Xiaofang Mountain, which directly disrupted the deployment of the anti-Japanese salvation army in southern Anhui.

Because at present, the main force of the Japanese army in Chizhou has not penetrated into the territory of Tongling County, Li Zihan's L regiment plus the cavalry battalion have great ability, and it is impossible to hold back the main force of the Japanese army in Chizhou, and if it cannot hold back the main force of the Japanese army in Chizhou, the old devil of Haneda, then it can be said that there is no chance of victory on the Chizhou side, and the situation has become complicated.

"It seems that Huang Baitao is different from Zhang Wenqing, Huang Baitao is still a man." Gao Shenxing smiled bitterly, "However, his kindness has caused us a lot of trouble and is nerve-wracking." ”

Xu Shijiu also nodded, and then said: "In fact, the vast majority of the generals of the national army are still willing to resist Japan, like Han Deqin, Zhu Huaibing, Shangguan Yunxiang and others, after all, they are only a few. ”

"Well, I'll admit it." Gao Shenxing thinks so.

Others don't say it, just say that Feng Shengfa, the teacher of the 58th Division, and Wang Yaowu, the commander of the 74th Army, are all well-known men, and since the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, there are even more senior generals like Wang Mingzhang, Rao Guohua, and Xiao Shanling who have martyred the country, and this is not one or two, but a large number of people

It is precisely because of the existence of these people that China has been able to hold on to the fact that it has not lost its country until now.

At that moment, Xu Shijiu said again: "When this battle is over, I must go to Jing County and meet this Huang Baitao." ”

However, before Xu Jiujiu could finish his words, the guard Liu Dagu hurried in and reported that a regiment of the L Division had appeared at the junction of Yixian and Longkou counties, and the motive was unknown.

"The 19th Pei? Tao Guang's troops? Gao Shenxing frowned.

"Tao Guang has obvious progressive tendencies, and his relationship with our party has always been good, so it shouldn't be." Shu Tongwen was also quite confused.

"I'm afraid you don't know that Tao Guang has been promoted to the commander of the Third Theater Command Department as a lieutenant general, and although he still holds the position of commander of the P Army, he has lost control of the P Army." Xu Shijiu has the intelligence of the military commander to support him, so he knows some unknown inside stories between Tao Guang and Shangguan Yunxiang, Gu Zhutong and Chairman Jiang.

"It's no wonder." Gao Shenxing suddenly realized, and said in a deep voice, "Shangguan Yunxiang, this dog thing, really doesn't remember to eat or fight."

Shu Tongwen also said: "Fortunately, the captain did not transfer Lao Li's regiment to the front line, otherwise, the current situation would be passive." ”

Xu Shijiu nodded, and instructed Liu Da Gu: "Da Gu, you send someone back to tell Lao Li and tell him, if 19 Pei just stays at the junction of the two counties and doesn't step into the dragon's mouth, it's just that, if he dares to step into the dragon's mouth for half a step, he will beat me hard, Shangguan Yunxiang's dog thing, if he doesn't hurt him, I'm afraid he won't have a long memory." ”

Gao Shenxing added: "Lao Xu, it's best to send a telegram directly to Shangguan Yunxiang to warn him."

Shu Tongwen echoed: "I agree with Lao Gao's opinion, but pay attention to the wording, try not to provoke Shangguan Yunxiang, and put pressure on Shangguan Yunxiang from a political point of view. ”

"Hmm." Xu Jiu also felt that it made sense, and immediately called a staff officer to arrange for a telegram to Shangguan Yunxiang.

It is said that Shangguan Yunxiang is the commander-in-chief of the group army, and Xu Shijiu, as a subordinate commander, sent him a telegram, at least he had to draft a telegram in person to show respect for Shangguan Yunxiang, but Xu Shijiu has always hated contact with people like Shangguan Yunxiang, and he will not take Shangguan Yunxiang seriously, so he can't take these things seriously.

Xu Shijiu didn't even buy Gu Zhutong's face, let alone Shangguan Yunxiang? He didn't bother to think about drafting the telegram with every word, so he directly handed over this task to the staff office, and then pulled Shu Tongwen, Gao Shenxing, Niu Sigen and others to gather in front of the map and started an emergency war game.

Due to Chen Shizhang's 40th Division's horizontal insertion, the battlefield situation has changed dramatically, so Xu Shijiu and his team must re-conduct the war game deduction to see if it is possible to use the Liliang of the 40th Division to drag the main force of the Japanese army in Chizhou, Haneda's old devil, near Xiaofang Mountain, so as to win enough time for the Second Brigade to take Chizhou
