"How easy is it to get supplies?" Gao Shen said, "Huang Baitao made it clear that he was delaying time.

Xu Shijiu sneered: "How could I not know that Huang Baitao was delaying time? I just didn't expose him, but if he thought that with the help of the troops of the First Group Army, he would be able to take away the military supplies that should belong to our anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui, then he would be wrong. ”

Shu Tongwen said: "Now I'm afraid that little Japan will take advantage of the fire to rob." ”

"yes." Gao Shenxing nodded, and said worriedly, "Although the old devil Haneda is suspicious, if he knows that we are confronting Huang Baitao in Niutouzui, this old devil is afraid that he will not let go of such a God-given opportunity, and if the Japanese army in Chizhou really gets involved, the situation will become complicated." ”

Indeed, at present, although Xu Shijiu and Huang Baitao have not torn their faces on the surface, they can no longer hide their mutual vigilance in private, because both sides want to get this batch of materials, and before this fundamental contradiction is resolved, it is impossible for the two sides to really join forces to deal with Little Japan.

Because, whether it is Xu Shijiu or Huang Baitao, they are worried that when they are fighting to the death with Little Japan, the other party will slip away with the supplies, and this gives Little Japan an opportunity to take advantage of.

However, there is a saying, the more you are afraid of something, the more you come, as soon as Shu Tongwen and Gao Shenxing's words fell, the telegraph operator Xiaolan came out of the telecommunications room next door and reported loudly: "Commander, the 3rd Regiment is in an emergency, and the main force of the Japanese army in Chizhou suddenly moved out in a big way, and it is approaching Xiaofang Mountain. ”

"Damn," Gao Shen roared, "Haneda, this shit"

"Captain, the situation is complicated now." Shu Tongwen held his forehead with his hand and smiled bitterly.

Xu Shijiu waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "This is not necessarily a bad thing, the crisis actually means a turnaround, the old devil Haneda suddenly intervened, although it made the whole situation more complicated, but it also provided us with a good opportunity to solve the final ownership of this batch of military supplies."

"Huh?" Shu Tongwen and Gao Shenxing looked at it at the same time, a little confused.

Xu Shijiu didn't explain too much, and said, "It seems that it is necessary for me to meet Huang Baitao again."

(Dividing Line)

The situation in Niutouzui was quickly fed back to the Commander's Department of the Third War Zone in western Zhejiang through radio waves.

In the telegram, Huang Baitao reported an emergency to Gu Zhutong, the main force of the Japanese army stationed in Chizhou had poured out of the nest and was rushing towards Niutouzui, this situation was also confirmed by the military commander Chizhou Station, and the New Fourth Army even provided another information to the Third Theater of Operations, the Japanese army reinforced from Hefei had changed the direction of the march and was preparing to cross the river from Liaojiawan and directly outflank Niutouzui.

Little Japan's two heavy punches came suddenly, and they were extremely sharp.

At this juncture, Xu Shijiu said that he had suffered heavy losses in the previous battle, and the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui would be forced to shrink and retreat, what is this? Xu Nineteen was obviously threatening to retreat, threatening him Gu Zhutong and Huang Baitao to compromise with him Xu Nineteen, forcing them to distribute the materials according to his Xu Nineteen's plan

The reason is obvious, once the anti-Japanese salvation army in southern Anhui retreats, Chen Shizhang's 40th Division alone will not be able to keep that batch of valuable military supplies at all, and it is obvious that it is impossible to transport such a huge batch of materials in a short time, but the two-way army of small Japan is coming in an instant

"Blackmail, this is naked (naked) blackmail" Gu Zhutong tore the telegram that Shangguan Yunxiang had just handed over to shreds, and then waved his arms and roared loudly, venting for a while, Gu Zhutong hissed and roared again, "You immediately telegraph to Huang Baitao, and send the military supplies to Little Japan, and it must not be cheap Xu Nineteen"

Shangguan Yunxiang looked at Gu Zhutong with shocked eyes, and the person stood still without moving.

Just send military supplies to little Japan, and it must not be cheap Xu Nineteen? This is rather with friends than with house slaves, Gu Zhutong really wants to do this, won't he become the second old witch of Cixi? Shangguan Yunxiang would rather believe that Gu Zhutong was angry and only said angry words, rather than really planning to do so.

And what Gu Zhutong said was obviously angry, and seeing that Shangguan Yunxiang didn't move, he didn't urge.

Shangguan Yunxiang asked in a low voice: "General seat, why don't you divide the materials according to Xu Shijiu's plan?" If not, Xu Shijiu is really going to let go, then I'm afraid we won't be able to get anything. ”

Gu Zhutong glared at Shangguan Yunxiang very unhappily and did not say anything.

The core of the plan put forward by Xu 19 is that the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army and the 40th Division each contribute one regiment of troops, and before the Japanese troops reinforced from Hefei have crossed the river, the 13th Brigade will launch a urging attack on the main force of the Japanese army in Chizhou, which has just entered the vicinity of Xiaofang Mountain, and then, according to the ratio of the number of enemies killed by both sides, to distribute the military supplies purchased by the military commanders from Shanghai.

Gu Zhutong did not doubt the fact that Xu Shijiu and Huang Baitao would be able to defeat the Japanese army in Chizhou if they joined forces

Gu Zhutong was just worried that the number of enemies killed by Zuihou was likely to be very unfavorable to Huang Baitao

Xu 19 can make little Japan fear him like a tiger, and give him the nickname of the Tiger of Southern Anhui, but it is not without reason, the combat effectiveness of the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army is really strong, just half an hour ago, the 19th Pei of the 19th Army of the P Army dispatched two regiments of troops to attack the outpost position where only one battalion of the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army was stationed, but the two regiments of Zuihou and the 19th Pei were beaten by this battalion of the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army

Therefore, if the military supplies are distributed according to the number of enemies killed, it is very likely that the three theaters will not even have soup to drink.

Of course, Shangguan Yunxiang knew Gu Zhutong's concerns, but at this juncture, could they have any other choice

At that moment, Shangguan Yun sighed: "General seat, the situation is stronger than people, it is better to have soup to drink than not to drink soup."

"Well, that's it." How could Gu Zhutong not know this? He sighed and said, "That's it."

Shangguan Yunxiang thought for a while, and then asked Gu Zhutong: "General seat, the side of the P Army, do you want to continue fighting."

"What else to fight, fight?" Gu Zhu said with the fire, "Two regiments can't beat one battalion, isn't it shameful enough?" ”

Shangguan Yunxiang also felt that his face was hot, and he left without saying a word.

(Dividing Line)

Xiaofang Mountain, the flames of war burned again.

It's just that the two warring sides became the main force of the Japanese army in Chizhou and the 3rd Regiment of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui.

Since the 57th Independent Infantry Brigade reinforced from Jiujiang was about to arrive in Chizhou, Haneda, the devil, was confident this time, not only transferred the entire military police brigade, but even the artillery squadron was also transferred, and four bombers took off from Anqing Airport to bombard the defensive positions of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui.

Haneda walked into the forward command headquarters and said to Yamamoto, the captain of the 56th Independent Infantry Brigade: "Yamamoto-san, your attack is a little weak, why don't you put all four infantry squadrons into it at once and launch a strong attack on the defensive positions of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army in southern Anhui from a wider front?" ”

Yamamoto frowned and retorted: "Your Excellency Dazuo, if you put all four infantry squadrons into force at one time, it can greatly strengthen the frontal attack, but the two wings lack effective protection, the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army is not only one regiment of Wang Fusheng on the other side, in addition to Wang Fusheng's regiment, there are three other regiments, and even a cavalry battalion, once the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army invests heavy troops to launch a surprise attack from both wings, our front will completely collapse......"

"Yamamoto-san, how tigerish you are." Yamamoto waved his hand and said disappreciatively, "The main force of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui is confronting Huang Baitao's army at Niutouzui, where will you draw more troops to attack your two wings?" What's more, even if your flanks are attacked, won't there still be our gendarmerie brigade? ”

Yamamoto pursed his lips and thought to himself, your gendarmerie brigade can also be called a troop? Maintain law and order in the occupied areas, bully and bully the Chinese people, and make peace, if you want to fight with Xu Shijiu, the tiger of southern Anhui, then it is better to be exempted.

However, Haneda was the nominal commander after all, so Yamamoto could only compromise and send another infantry squadron to strengthen the frontal attack, but he refused to move anyway with two infantry squadrons.
