Volume 1: The Battle of Songhu Chapter 96 Hope

"Sister Jiaxi, let's eat a little."

The little madman came to Yu Jiaxi's stretcher with a small half bowl of wild vegetable porridge.

Since Xu Jiujiu was arrested that night, Yu Jiaxi has fallen, in fact, since she came to the Erlong Mountain base, Yu Jiaxi's whole spirit has been in a high degree of tension, she has been spinning continuously, her physical strength and energy have long been extremely overdrawn, and now she has lost her spiritual support, so she fell down at once.

Yu Jiaxi looked down at the oily wild vegetables in the bowl and shook his head.

Under the blockade of Little Japan for a long time, all kinds of supplies of the 19 detachments are now extremely scarce, not only are there no ammunition, but now there is no food, and the remaining six or seven hundred people can only dig wild vegetables and peel tree bark every day to satisfy their hunger, and occasionally hunt wild animals to be able to get a little oily.

However, Yu Jiaxi really has no appetite, not because the wild vegetable porridge is unpalatable.

The little madman stirred a few wild vegetables in the bowl with chopsticks, and said with a crying voice: "Sister Jiaxi, you haven't eaten for two days, if you don't eat again, maybe something will happen, when the captain comes back, how can I explain to her?" ”

Yu Jiaxi stretched out her hand and touched the little madman's head lovingly, and felt that what he said was reasonable, no matter what, Xu Jiu has not been killed yet, and she can't give up on herself, otherwise, if Ah Jiu escapes and comes back one day, but she is not there, how sad should Ah Jiu be?

"Okay, I'll eat." Yu Jiaxi got up slightly from the stretcher and took the dishes and chopsticks from the little madman.

Only then did the little madman burst into tears and laughed.

Yu Jiaxi asked the little madman while drinking: "Little madman, what are your plans for the senior team?"

"I don't know, the tall team never said it." The little madman shook his head and said in a low voice, "These days, the high brigade, Noguchi and Deputy Li are all going out early in the morning and coming back very late, and they have to spy on little Japan. ”

Yu Jiaxi quickly finished drinking the porridge and asked again: "He didn't say when he was going to save your captain?" ”

"I didn't say it." The little madman shook his head honestly and said, "But it should be soon." ”

(Dividing Line)

When Fujitang Gaoying returned to Yanjia Town, Xu Shijiu had already been escorted back first.

In the interrogation room of the gendarmerie, Fujido Gaoying finally saw Xu Nineteen, there was only a glass wall in the middle, he could see Xu Nineteen inside, but Xu Nineteen inside couldn't see him, Xu Nineteen seemed to be in a good state of mind, I saw him sitting cross-legged on the bed in the corner, just like the old monk who had settled down, and did not move.

Fujido Takaei asked Haneda casually: "Has Xu Shijiu's identity been confirmed?" ”

Haneda hurriedly replied: "Your Excellency General, rest assured, it has been determined at the first time, all the squires who have seen Xu Nineteen have come to identify, Yan Sanquan and Yan Weixin brothers have also come, and it is confirmed that it is Xu Nineteen." ”

"Yo Si." Fujido Takaei nodded happily and asked Haneda again, "How is his mood?" ”

"My mood is stable, and I haven't gone on a hunger strike." Haneda said, "I just wouldn't speak, and I wouldn't say anything." ”

"It doesn't matter if he doesn't speak, as long as he's willing to eat." Fujitang Gao Ying said, "If he is willing to eat, it means that he is not desperate, as long as he is not desperate, then we still have a chance." ”

Haneda didn't understand for a moment, and asked in confusion: "Your Excellency, General, I didn't understand what you meant. ”

Fujido Takaei waved his hand, turned around and walked back, and said, "Haneda-san, you should also know something about the international situation now, right?" ”

"Hello." Haneda bowed heavily and said, "After the German blitzkrieg on Poland last year, Britain and France declared war on Germany at the same time, but under the German offensive, Britain and France were crushed, and their influence in the Far East continued to weaken. ”

Fujido Gao Ying said: "You are right, the empire will soon send troops to Southeast Asia, so it is inevitable that a large number of veterans with combat experience will be transferred from the Chinese battlefield. ”

Haneda nodded thoughtfully, at present, the Chinese battlefield is still generally the Japanese army is still on the offensive and the national army is on the defensive, but once the empire sends troops to Southeast Asia, once the veterans are drawn from the Chinese battlefield, the offensive and defensive momentum of the entire Chinese battlefield will be reversed immediately, and the security of the occupied area will inevitably be weakened to a certain extent.

Specific to Longkou, due to the imminent Battle of Jinjiang, the 14th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade is about to return to defend Jiujiang, and the Japanese troops remaining in Longkou County will be even less.

At that moment, Haneda asked with concern: "Your Excellency General, has Your Excellency the Commander's order for the transfer of troops been issued?" ”

"It has been issued, and it must be returned to Jiujiang by the end of the year at the latest." Fujido Gao Ying said, "Also, I'm afraid I can't leave you an infantry brigade, but only a squadron for you." ”

Originally, Fujido Gaoying promised to leave a brigade for Haneda to strengthen the Longkou Military Police Brigade, but now that the Battle of Jinjiang has not yet begun, the situation faced by the LL-RO Army has become extremely grim, because according to intelligence, the ace of the Ninth Theater of the National Army, Wang Yaowu's 74th Army, has just been reequipped with US weapons and equipment.

"Huh?" Haneda's face changed when he heard this, and he said hurriedly, "Your Excellency General, this is not good, although Xu Shijiu said that he was caught, but Gao Shenxing is still alive, there are still nearly 1,000 remnants of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui, if the 14th Brigade is withdrawn independently at this time, and only one squadron is left, I am worried that the situation in Longkou will be repeated." ”

After the last battle of the gourd valley, Haneda also completely lost confidence in his gendarmerie brigade.

"Haneda-san, you don't have to worry too much, no matter what, Xu Shijiu has been caught, as I said just now, the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese Salvation Army is now leaderless, and its combat effectiveness will inevitably be greatly reduced, not to mention, I won't leave Longkou right away, isn't it more than half a month before the end of the year?"

"But if the remnants of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui don't avoid fighting and only blindly fight guerrillas in the depths of Erlong Mountain, I'm afraid we won't have much to do." Haneda was still a little worried, he was worried that the remnants of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui would give up the transfer and insist on guerrilla warfare in Erlongshan, and the situation would be tricky.

In the past, when the main force of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui was still there, there were many people and many people, and the pressure on food supply was great.

Later, Fujido Gaoying used the safety of his family to threaten the officers and soldiers of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui, resulting in the strength of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui being sharply reduced from nearly 5,000 to less than 2,000

The reason why Xu 19 wanted to take the troops to Qingyang County was to avoid the soldiers of the 14th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade of Little Japan, and go to Qingyang County to start anew, after all, if the Erlong Mountain and Little Japan continued to be consumed, the 19th Detachment could only become weaker and weaker, and only by jumping out of the cage with the troops could it be possible to create a new situation.

Therefore, Xu Shijiu would rather take a risk than take the troops away.

But now, on the premise that they knew that there was no hope of breaking through, the remnants of the 19th detachment were very likely to give up the breakthrough and persist in guerrilla attacks in Erlong Mountain.

Moreover, if the remnants of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui really hide in Erlong Mountain and don't come out, little Japan really has nothing to do.

In the past half a month, the 14th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade has actually been chasing and suppressing the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui, but Erlongshan is high and densely forested, the roads are rugged and difficult to walk, and there are even no roads to pass in many places.

What's more, the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army is not without countermeasures, they have several veterans at the level of the king of soldiers, so they can also know the whereabouts of the Japanese army in advance, so it is extremely difficult to surround the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in Erlong Mountain, and it is impossible for the entire independent mixed 14th Brigade to be there, let alone in the future
