"You, you, you, how can this be the case, it is simply unreasonable." The old squire trembled with rage.

"You you, you, what are you? Roll the edge and go. Zhan Zhongyi pushed the old squire away.

But at this time, a gunshot suddenly sounded at the entrance of the village in front of him, and Zhan Zhongyi hurriedly fell to the ground.

"Where's the gun? Where to shoot? Zhan Zhongyi turned his head to look at the two regiment deputies who were also lying on the ground, and asked repeatedly.

The two regimental deputies also looked at each other, and the gunfire just now came very abruptly, and they couldn't tell the direction.

However, after less than a moment, continuous gunshots rang out outside the village, and occasionally violent explosions, Zhan Zhongyi immediately felt that the situation was wrong, looking at Jiashi, Bacheng was ambushed by the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui.

Just when he was in doubt, the commander of the guard company hurriedly ran over and reported to Zhan Zhongyi: "Tuanzao, it's not good, it's not good, we are surrounded."

"Nonsense" Zhan Zhongyi was furious, "This has just entered the realm of Longkou, and before we can do anything, the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army will do it first?" Could it be that they can't eat the bear's heart and leopard's gall? Go and see what the hell is going on? ”

"Tuanzao, don't look at it, it's really the anti-Japanese salvation army in southern Anhui is coming, and we have been surrounded" The guard company commander was miserable.

"Nonsense, nonsense" Zhan Zhongyi still didn't believe it, and said angrily, "The Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in Southern Anhui is really going to fight, why didn't you see the battalion and the 3rd battalion report?" Could it be that the battalion and the 3rd battalion have been eaten by the anti-Japanese salvation army in southern Anhui? ”

"Tuanza, how do I know this?" The guard company commander had a bitter face, not knowing how to explain.

But there is no need to explain, because a group of heavily armed national troops have rushed into the village, outrageous is that this team of national troops is all armed with American-made Thomson submachine guns, seeing this jiashi, the officers and soldiers of the L18 regiment who were still resisting stubbornly raised their weapons one after another.

"Surrender the gun and don't kill, surrender the gun and don't kill" After a while, the national army rushed to Zhan Zhongyi and the others.

However, when Zhan Zhongyi's gaze fell on the leading officer, he immediately shouted: "Yang Dashu? ”

It was Yang Dashu and his guard battalion who came, before he followed Li Zihan to Longkou, he was the company commander of the special service battalion of the commander's department, and he also had a relationship with Zhan Zhongyi in an operation, but Yang Dashu didn't bother to pay attention to Zhan Zhongyi and him, and said coldly: "Shut up, raise your hand obediently, otherwise, don't blame Lao Tzu for being polite."

After speaking, Yang Dashu honestly and unceremoniously kicked Zhan Zhongyi.

Zhan Zhongyi was furious in his heart, but he didn't dare to attack, so he could only obediently hand over his pistol.

But at this time, the old couple who were hiding in the corner and dared not speak out suddenly rushed over, and picked up the broom placed next to the chicken coop, and hit Zhan Zhongyi according to his head and face, while scolding: "Kill you dog robber, kill you dog robber, let you rob my chicken, let you rob my chicken, let you rob my chicken......

Zhan Zhongyi was beaten and screamed, but he didn't dare to hide, and the soldiers of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui were guarding with submachine guns.

Yang Dashu watched coldly, and he didn't stop it, he had contempt for Zhan Zhongyi and his L18 regiment in his heart, what kind of thing, even the common people can be harmed, can it still be regarded as a national army? It's simply a disgrace to the national army, according to Yang Dashu's original intention, these individuals should be pulled out and shot, so Xu Shijiu issued a strict order that they were not allowed to kill indiscriminately, otherwise how could they still die?

It wasn't until Zhan Zhongyi was beaten that his head was bleeding that Yang Dashu stepped forward to persuade: "Uncle, aunt, forget it, these bastards will be beaten to death in vain, but if you flash your waist, won't you be punished?" Come on, give them to me, and we'll clean them up in a hurry. ”

"Sir, you have to clean them up well, dare to rob, and you have to do it?" The old couple just stopped.

The L18th Regiment was completely annihilated as soon as it entered Longkou, and the 40th Division was stunned.

In the afternoon of the same day, Zhan Zhongyan, commander of the 40th Division, went to Zhang Wenqing, commander of the 1st Army, to complain.

"Junzao, you can leave some money for our 40th Division, and if we continue to fight, our 40th Division should be wiped out." Zhan Zhongyan's face was full of bitterness.

"Zhan Zhongyan, do you still have the face to say?" Zhang Wenqing was even more angry when he heard this, and said angrily, "How do you usually bring the soldiers, a regiment, a fully staffed main regiment, a small 3,000 people, just entered the Longkou and let the family ambush, even the regiment commander didn't run out, you say, how did you lead the soldiers, and how did you fight?" ”

"Junzao, Xu Shijiu is the tiger of southern Anhui, and his anti-Japanese salvation army in southern Anhui is also a group of tigers, our 40th division is not an opponent at all, it is not an opponent at all, Junza, I beg you, hurry up and let us withdraw 4 Pei." Zhan Zhongyan couldn't wait to kneel down and beg Zhang Wenqing.

"Shut up, don't grow the ambition of others there, extinguish your own prestige, what is the tiger of southern Anhui, I bah, I see, Xu Shijiu is a sick cat, a sick cat that has no claws but is still in the tiger's voice" Zhang Wenqing said, "Zhan Zhongyan, you listen to me, the 40th Division is not allowed to retreat half a step, otherwise, don't turn your face and deny people."

"Military seat" Zhan Zhongyan was startled, and this time he really knelt down.

"Get up" Zhang Wenqing was furious, "Zhan Zhongyan, I'll tell you, you will kneel and die here, and I won't allow your 40th Division to withdraw"

After speaking, Zhang Wenqing turned around and ignored Zhan Zhongyan, Zhan Zhongyan waited for a long time without seeing a reaction, so he could only stand up and slip away.

Seeing Zhan Zhongyan's figure leave, Zhang Wenqing's face immediately changed, and he instructed his chief of staff: "Hurry up, hurry up and call Chief Gu, just say that the equipment of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui is too good, the firepower is too fierce, Zhan Zhongyan's 40th Division has been defeated, and our first army is almost unable to withstand it, so let him quickly send us reinforcements, and there is an urgent need for food, and food and salary are urgently needed."

After receiving Zhang Wenqing's telegram, Gu Zhutong couldn't believe it.

How can it be? The first army had just been transferred, and the anti-Japanese national salvation army in southern Anhui had defeated a main division

Xu Jiu, the tiger of southern Anhui, is really so powerful? Gu Zhutong looked at the telegram in his hand, and he didn't do it for a long time

Gu Zhutong didn't think about it carefully, where was there a decent army in his third war zone? Although the spirit of the Tang-style Zundi Group Army was still there, it was suffering from incomplete equipment and lack of food, and the whole army was a group of people called Huazi, each soldier had less than five bullets, and the rations were less than three days, and they could not even fight a small-scale ambush battle, and as for the Shangguan Yunxiangdi Group Army, it had already been reduced to a group of bandits.

But what kind of unit is Xu Nineteen's Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese Salvation Army? That is the tiger and wolf division that has just completely annihilated the main force of the 14th Brigade of the small Japanese independent mix, in terms of combat effectiveness alone, the independent mixed 14th Brigade before Hulu Valley, its combat effectiveness is only stronger than the German armor division of the Central Army before the Battle of Songhu, that is to say, the combat effectiveness of the anti-Japanese salvation army in southern Anhui is equivalent to the German armor division

In the final analysis, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui has just recovered Longkou, and its military supplies are sufficient and ammunition reserves are also sufficient

But Zhang Wenqing's army has not been paid for several years, and the officers and soldiers below are full of complaints, and every day in their minds in addition to thinking about which village to steal a chicken, they want to go to Hualiu Town to find Sister Yao to live happily for a night, as for the ammunition reserves, not even half of the base number, which is also the main reason why the 40th Division was eaten by the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese Salvation Army as soon as it entered Longkou.

However, as the commander-in-chief of the three theaters, Gu Zhutong could not see this.

Gu Zhutong can't see the essence of the problem, let alone accept the fact of defeat, since the first group army plus the first army can't deal with Xu 19's anti-Japanese salvation army in southern Anhui, then add Tao Guang's first army, I still don't believe it, I am the commander-in-chief of the third theater, with more than 200,000 horses under his command, and I can't clean up your small anti-Japanese salvation army in southern Anhui
