Xu Shijiu didn't know all this, and the war in Chizhou was still in full swing.

From 10 o'clock last night to 5 o'clock this morning, the Japanese strongholds on the periphery of Chizhou have all been breached, and the fortifications of the city wall have also broken through several sections, but after all, the little Japanese have been operating in Chizhou for several years, and the fortifications are very strong, and the Japanese puppet army in Chizhou City still has thousands of people, so the attack is not smooth.

Even at the south gate, Wang Fusheng's 3rd Regiment only advanced less than 500 meters with the full cooperation of the 5th Brigade and the Chizhou Biedong Brigade of the Military Commander, and then encountered stubborn resistance at the headquarters of the Little Japanese Gendarmerie, and the 3rd Regiment launched several strong attacks in a row, but failed to break through the defense line of Little Japan.

The battle situation has temporarily fallen into a stalemate, and in the end, the Japanese army in Chizhou is not muddy and papery.

For such a situation, Xu Shijiu had already expected that if Chizhou was really so easy to take, then he would not wait until today to make a move, if Little Japan was really so bad, how could it be possible to occupy most of China? How can it be possible to fight the Chinese nation to the brink of extinction?

However, Xu 19 firmly believes that if the old devil Haneda does not return with the main force of the Japanese army in Chizhou, then it is only a matter of time before the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army takes Chizhou City.

Of course, even if Chizhou is recovered, little Japan will soon counterattack, and Chizhou will soon be lost, but even if Chizhou is only recovered for a short day, it will still be a huge victory for the national army in the entire southern Anhui region, as well as the old folks in the entire Anhui, and it will be a deterrent to the small Japan in southern Anhui.

However, this is just a beautiful wish after all, and the old devil Haneda will definitely not let Chizhou fall.

As soon as the sky was bright, Liu Dagu hurriedly walked into the headquarters and reported to Xu Shijiu: "Commander, the 4th Regiment has just sent a telegram that they have already caught fire with the main force of the Japanese army in Chizhou, which has returned from Tongling County in Miaoqian Town. ”

"Huh?" Gao Shenxing put down the pencil in his hand, frowned, and said, "The old devil Haneda is back?" ”

"And that's to be expected." Xu Shijiu pursed his lips and said, "Seriously, after all, it is the matter of Jisfeier No. 76 to track down that batch of materials, even if the materials are lost, it is only the responsibility of Jisfeier No. 76, and it has nothing to do with the old devil of Haneda, but if Chizhou City is lost, the old devil of Haneda may only be able to cut his stomach to thank him, which of the two is more important, as long as the head of the old devil of Haneda has not been kicked by a donkey, he should be able to carry it clearly." ”

"Alas, but in this way, I am afraid it is impossible for us to take Chizhou again." Gao Shenxing said regretfully, "What a chance, it's a pity, it's just a little bit worse, it's only a little bit worse." ”

"Lao Gao, there's nothing to be sorry for." Xu Shijiu patted Gao Shenxing on the shoulder and said, "As long as the people are still there, it will be a matter of time before Chizhou is recovered, rest assured, there will be opportunities in the future." ”

After speaking, Xu Jiujiu turned around and instructed Liu Da Gu and said: "Big Bone, go and inform the 3rd Regiment and the 5th Brigade that they can withdraw from the city, and then send a report to the 4th Regiment, let them get out of the way, let Little Japan come over, and then attack Little Japan from behind the flank, and try to delay their marching speed." ”

"Yes" Liu Da Bone snapped upright, then turned around and hurried away.

Xu Shijiu turned around and walked into the telecommunications room next door and asked Ye Ruxue, "Director Ye, where has the merchant ship of the United States and British Tobacco Company arrived now?" ”

Ye Ruxue hurried back to Longkou yesterday afternoon, and just after dealing with a few matters of the Longkou Anti-Japanese Democratic Government, she hurried back to Yankou non-stop, because Yanyao couldn't do without her, Xu Shijiu needed her to keep in touch with the military commander at all times, and Ye Ruxue was the only one who had the secret code, and even the newspaper operator Xiaolan didn't know.

Ye Ruxue put down the headset, got up and replied: "The Santa Maria has already passed Wuhu in the early hours of this morning, calculate the time, it should be able to reach Tongling Port before noon, but it is ......."

Xu Shijiu's heart skipped a beat and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"It's not a big deal." Ye Ruxue smiled and said, "Here's the thing, after the Santa Maria passed through Nanjing, there was a Japanese warship and two gunboats that followed it all the time, and they are still following it, but if little Japan doesn't want to provoke diplomatic disputes between Japan and the United States, it shouldn't be able to board the ship for inspection, or forcibly intercept it." ”

Xu Shijiu said: "Director Ye, has Little Japan ever conducted a boarding inspection of American merchant ships before?" ”

"In the past two years, there have even been shelling or bombing of American merchant ships." Ye Ruxue said, "However, since the end of last year, little Japan has been much more restrained, at least since the beginning of this year, there has not been a single incident of forcibly stopping and inspecting American and British merchant ships." ”

"In this way, little Japan is about to make a move on the Yankees." Xu Shijiu was relieved at this time.

Ye Ruxue said again: "But Commander, the Tongling Wharf is not ready to receive supplies.

Xu Jiu frowned and asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?" The main force of the Japanese army in Chizhou has returned, and Tongling County only has an infantry squadron, Li Zihan has a full regiment, a cavalry battalion and an artillery company, and more than 3,000 horses to fight more than 100 small Japans. ”

"Not really." Ye Ruxue said, "Tongling County has been defeated, but there are two small Japanese gunboats cruising outside the Tongling wharf, and there are two small Japanese gunboats, I am afraid it will be difficult to unload smoothly, not to mention, there are two other Japanese gunboats and a large-tonnage warship following behind the Santa Maria."

"......Shh ”

(Dividing Line)

"Cannon, my cannon, my cannon......" On the dock of Tongling, Wang Laoshi was holding a 92nd infantry cannon that had been blown into scrap iron lumps and cried.

Wang Laoshi is the deputy platoon commander of the L Company of the artillery battalion, and also the commander of a 92 infantry gun.

The artillery battalion of the calf has a total of two 92 infantry artillery companies, each company has three artillery platoons, each platoon has two 92 infantry guns, and the platoon commander and platoon deputy are also the gun commanders of one gun.

For the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui, the 92 infantry cannon is already a rare heavy weapon, however, compared with the power of the 92 infantry cannon and the naval guns on the small Japanese gunboats, it is simply a scum.

Long before dawn, Li Zihan's L Regiment had cleared out all the Japanese puppet troops in Tongling County, and controlled the entire county except for the wharf, but at the wharf, the L Regiment was blocked by the heavy machine guns of two small Japanese gunboats and large-caliber naval guns, and after a scuffle, it lost more than 100 veterans.

Because he was not accustomed to seeing the small Japanese gunboats showing off their might on the river, Yang Laoshi hurried to the dock with his 92nd infantry gun to help in the battle, but was completely abused by the little Japanese.

In the artillery battle just now, at least six shells hit the small Japanese gunboats, but unfortunately, the small Japanese gunboats had strong armor, and the grenades fired by the 92 infantry guns could not blow up the armor of the small Japanese gunboats at all, and at best they could only create a small fire on the deck.

But on the other hand, the threat of large-caliber naval guns on small Japanese gunboats was great.

In fact, the naval guns on the small Japanese gunboats were not large-caliber, and the 15Umm was a pocket-sized small cannon compared to the battleship guns of 300mm and 40UmmR, but even the 150mm caliber naval guns were enough to blow up the artillery positions of the artillery company.

The shell fired by the little Japanese only hit one shot, but it directly blew up Yang Laoshi's 92 infantry cannon into a piece of scrap metal, and most of the artillerymen who operated the cannon were also killed on the spot, only Yang Laoshi and another artillery survived, but the other artillery was blown off his leg, Yang Laoshi was not injured, but his heart was hurt.

"Cannon, my cannon, my cannon......" Yang Laoshi usually treats his ninety-two steps as a baby pimple, and he even hates to sleep at night in his arms, but now he is blown up into scrap metal by Little Japan, how can he not be sad? That guy is even more heartbroken than the death of his parents.
