Volume 1: Battle of Songhu Chapter 228
"Huh." Peng Wu whipped a horse whip on the horse's stock, and the war horse "Oolong" under the crotch raised his head and neighed, and began to enter the rapid sprint, four bowls of iron hooves fell heavily, and a string of horseshoe prints flowed down on the hard sandy road in an instant, and there were billowing smoke and dust gradually rising from behind the horse's buttocks.
The galloping "oolong" is like a gust of wind rushing from the road.
But Peng Wu still thought that the "oolong" was running too slowly, and whipped it on the "oolong" horse stock again and again.
Usually, Peng Wu is reluctant to take a horse whip to whip the "oolong", for his own war horse, Peng Wu is even more precious than his daughter-in-law, Peng Wu just married the new daughter-in-law last year more than once to Peng Wu tantrums: Peng Wu on the donkey day, go with your "oolong" to live together, the old lady will not serve.
But today, the horse shares of "Oolong" have been drawn to a blur by Peng Wu.
The military situation is urgent, and Peng Wu can't help but feel sorry for his "oolong", because Xu 19 gave him a death order, he must rush to Niutouzui before noon, and decisively prevent Chen Shizhang's 40th Division from transporting military supplies, Peng Wu didn't know why the so-called military supplies suddenly appeared in the small fishing village of Niutouzui, he only knew that Xu 19 gave the cavalry battalion a death order.
"Ha" Peng Wu whipped on the horse stock again, and "Oolong" raised his head again and hissed sadly, and miraculously increased his speed by a cut, and the whole thing was like a black lightning, which crossed the mountain beam in front of him in the blink of an eye.
A moment later, there was a loud sound of hooves in the direction where Peng Wu had come, and a large group of cavalry roared over.
Speaking of Peng Wu, over the mountain beam, there is a guard post set up here by the 40th Division.
Guarding this outpost was a squad of the L18th Regiment of the 40th Division, and when they saw a cavalry wearing the uniform of the New Fourth Army coming on a flying horse, more than a dozen national troops guarding the outpost immediately became alert, and the squad leader led by him directly raised the rifle in his hand, pointed his muzzle at the New Fourth Army galloping in front, and shouted: "zhanzhu, zhanzhu, if we don't zhanzhu again, we will shoot"
Behind the squad leader of the national army, more than a dozen big-headed soldiers also raised the Hanyang-made rifles in their hands.
However, the New Fourth Army galloping forward didn't pay attention to them at all, and still galloped towards this side of the Pegasus, and the squad leader of the national army raised the muzzle of his gun slightly, fired a shot into the sky, and fired a warning shot, but the New Fourth Army on the opposite side still ignored it, and just hid its body on the side of the war horse to reduce the area of the bullet.
The squad leader of the national army was a little dumbfounded, is the New Fourth Army crazy?
However, if you really let the platoon commander shoot, he didn't dare, this is an extraordinary time, not to mention, although the New Fourth Army on the opposite side is menacing, but after all, he did not show his saber, and he did not show his saber, which means that he is not here to fight, but there is an order to go to the peak, and the nearby passage is strictly blocked, if the New Fourth Army is allowed to rush over, I am afraid that he will not have good fruit to eat.
All of a sudden, the squad leader of the national army was in a dilemma, to shoot or not to shoot?
More than a dozen big-headed soldiers, you look at me, I look at you, they also look at each other, at a loss.
Just when the squad leader of the national army and more than a dozen big-headed soldiers hesitated, the galloping New Fourth Army was already whistling past, and the wind brought by the galloping war horse even brought a thin recruit egg directly to the ground, and then, before the recruit egg got up, there was a faint thunder behind the mountain beam where the New Fourth Army came
"This is ......," the squad leader of the national army, and more than a dozen big-headed soldiers looked at each other.
Thunder? Look up at the sky, where is the thunder in this blue sky and white day?
In the next moment, the black-pressed cavalry had emerged from behind the mountain beam, roaring towards their outpost.
The squad leader of the national army roughly estimated that although the cavalry of the New Fourth Army that emerged from the side of the mountain beam did not exceed three hundred, it gave people the feeling that there were thousands of troops and horses charging, and the power of the overwhelming and shaking mountains could really make people's souls tremble.
It wasn't until the cavalry of the New Fourth Army passed through the outpost for a long time that the squad leader of the National Army finally reacted, hurriedly called a recruit who ran the fastest to him, and ordered him to report to the company commander, but the squad leader of the National Army vaguely felt that when the signal soldiers he sent over arrived, the cavalry of the New Fourth Army was afraid that they would have already arrived at Niutouzui

Huang Baitao stayed in Niutouzui until noon, Chen Shizhang wanted to leave Huang Baitao to eat lunch in Niutouzui, but Huang Baitao politely refused, Huang Baitao had to rush back to the temporary headquarters, and transferred the first division and the 79th division, before, in order to avoid overstimulating the anti-Japanese salvation army in southern Anhui, Huang Baitao only dared to transfer the 40th division to Tongling.
Now that the situation has become clear, there is no need to hide it.
Huang Baitao didn't think that Chen Shizhang's 40th Division alone would be able to withstand the pressure of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui and smoothly transport these military supplies back
In Jing County, even if the 1st Division and the 79th Division are transferred, it may not be able to achieve the intention of deterring the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui, but if the entire Group Army is added, it will be different.
Therefore, Huang Baitao had to hurry back to the military headquarters in Maolin.
However, Huang Baitao, surrounded by Chen Shizhang and several senior officers of the 40th Division, walked to the entrance of the village, and before he could get on his horse, a horse galloped on the road ahead.
"What is this?" The galloping knight instantly attracted everyone's attention.
When Chen Shizhang and several senior officers of the 40th Division turned their heads one after another, the galloping knights were less than 100 meters away from the guard post set up by the 40th Division Guard Battalion at the entrance of Niutouzui Village, and Huang Baitao, Chen Shizhang, and the senior officers of the 40th Division could already clearly see that it was a cavalryman of the New Fourth Army, because he was wearing the gray-white military uniform of the New Fourth Army.
The next moment, the black-pressed cavalry emerged from the distant horizon.
Huang Baitao's face changed greatly, the New Fourth Army? Do you want to come in with a cross-leg?
(Dividing Line)
Haneda stood at the head of the city, watching uncertainly as the various units of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui alternately covered the retreat from outside the city.
The retreat of the anti-Japanese salvation army in southern Anhui appeared to be very calm, and whether it was the setting of machine gun fire of the covering troops or the organization and scheduling of the retreating troops, they all appeared to be orderly, and it was obvious that this was a well-trained and extremely good psychological quality of the troops, and to put it more bluntly, they were not afraid of the Japanese army going out of the city to pursue
Haneda must admit that he really lacked the courage to pursue.
Whether it is the military police brigade stationed in Chizhou or the 56th Independent Infantry Brigade of Yamamoto, in the face of the anti-Japanese salvation army in southern Anhui, although it is not as fearful as a tiger, but it is certain that it is psychologically disadvantaged.
Yamamoto Shaosa, the captain of the 56th Independent Infantry Brigade, also did not dare to take the initiative.
Holding the battlements in his hand, Yamamoto asked quietly: "Your Excellency Dazuo, when will the reinforcements from Hefei and Jiujiang arrive?"
Haneda replied: "The reinforcements from Jiujiang will arrive this evening, but Your Excellency Zhongshan has only transferred an infantry brigade, and as for the reinforcements from Hefei, Your Excellency Ozaki has just called, and they have been stubbornly blocked by the third detachment of the New Fourth Army on the way, and they will not arrive until tomorrow at the earliest, and if the progress does not go well, I am afraid it will be delayed until three days later." ”
Yamamoto said gloomily: "Your Excellency Dazuo, with all due respect, before the arrival of the Jiujiang reinforcements or the Hefei reinforcements, we may not be able to launch a counterattack on Tongling, and I am afraid that we will not be able to help the matter of assisting Jisifeier No. 76 in intercepting military supplies." ”
Haneda also sighed: "However, this batch of military supplies is really going to fall into the hands of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui, and Xu Shijiu, the tiger of southern Anhui, will be even more powerful, and I am afraid that the situation in southern Anhui will be even worse in the future."
Yamamoto also fell silent, and only after a long time did he say: "Now, we can only hope that Your Excellency the Commander can win the Second Battle of Changsha as soon as possible, and then we can free up our hands to clean up Xu XIX." ”
"The Second Battle of Changsha?" Haneda shook his head, Haneda was not very optimistic about the newly appointed commander of the First Army, Anan Weiji, and in addition, he was not very optimistic about the prospects of the Second Battle of Changsha, but if the Second Battle of Changsha still ended in defeat, the Japanese army in Central China was afraid that it would not be able to draw troops to deal with Xu Shijiu.
Haneda and Yamamoto didn't know that the fighter plane had appeared unconsciously.
