Chapter 139: Hefei Fengyun (2)

One thousand enemies were wounded, eight hundred were self-inflicted, and there was no battle in which they did not suffer casualties. In such a battle, the snow fox also suffered a lot of casualties, although this number is not a casualty compared to other battlefields, but for the snow fox, it is a serious casualty.

Ying Sen Xiao fled to Chuxian with the remnants of the devils, and after a few hours of fighting, the snow fox left nearly a thousand devil corpses on this road, and he also suffered nearly 200 casualties, and more than 100 people were killed directly, which was a squadron loss.

Looking at the soldiers who cleaned the battlefield and buried the corpses, Xue Ru had no excitement of victory at all. The Snow Fox Brigade was also silent, if it was any unit with a thousand men against two thousand four hundred people, destroy a thousand devils, and defeat them, they would have cheered with joy. However, Snow Fox will not, they are used to this kind of fighting. In Snow Fox's eyes, the most normal thing is to have more than 200 casualties, which is unacceptable to every officer of Snow Fox.

Looking at Xue Ru, who was silent, Lai Changwen said: "Miss, this time there is no machine gun cover, so I ......"

Xue Ru nodded: "I understand, it seems that the battle can't be fought like this." ”

Lai Changwen asked, "What to do next?" ”

Xue Ru said: "From here, avoid the devils, take the path, and go directly to Lu'an." ”

Lai Changwen didn't say anything more, nodded and conveyed the order, cleaned up the battlefield, and gathered troops to withdraw in the direction of Lu'an. He understood the mood of the young lady, originally this combat method was coordinated with light machine guns, and it would start from the attack, suppress the Japanese army with machine gun fire, and it could also be effectively pursued. When the Japanese retreat and want to assemble, they will use machine guns to kill and destroy the Japanese troops in a large area, but the snow fox ammunition is seriously insufficient, and the machine gun can no longer be used, and the bullets are left to ensure the use of the pistol.

This time, before rushing into the enemy formation, there was no firepower to suppress the Japanese army at this distance, and there would be a lot of casualties, and at the same time, it could not prevent the Japanese army from retreating and assembling, and it would also cause losses in the melee, so that there was a situation where more than 1,000 devils were eliminated and more than 200 people were lost.

After learning from the pain, Xue Ru thought that the responsibility lay with him, because this battle could have been left unfought, and he would retreat to Lu'an in advance, and the devils on the three roads would be in the air, and the snow fox could safely retreat to Lu'an. But Xue Ru was a little arrogant, so she fled and retreated without a fight, which made her feel uncomfortable and thought it was too embarrassing.

When leaving Dingyuan, Xue Ru didn't hear the curses of those people, she was timid and afraid of death, and the devils fled when they came, causing them to flee from their hometowns, these words made Xue Ru feel aggrieved and angry, but how did she explain to these people.

can only hold this fire in his heart, it can be regarded as for the sake of face, and it can be regarded as to vent his anger, Xue Ru met the devil 68 wing, and the battle was won, but he also paid a serious price for it, so that the snow fox lost more than 200 people.

This point of troops may not be anything to others, but Snow Fox can't afford to lose, they only have about a hundred people from Chuxian to Dingyuan twice, and they are all new soldiers, such people are not on the battlefield, they are not trained, and they are sent to death if they go up, so these 200 or so people are all veterans, how can they not make Xue Ru heartache and blame themselves?

As a squadron leader and squad leader, he also understood, so Snow Fox did not have the joy of winning the battle, and became silent, quietly left here, and changed his route to Lu'an. The Japanese army had limited strength and could not control the vast countryside, let alone the countryside, and some towns and cities did not have devils.

Wei Ming and his team explored the road in front, avoiding the road and taking the country road, heading to the direction of Lu'an. This decision was also considered by Xue Ru, she could ignore the order of the First War Zone, but it was a war, it turned out that Xue Ru could not even consider the national government, and she could fight the war if she was independent, but now she can't ignore it. Without the support of a strong force behind you, you can't be alone and have no foundation. There is no place to train, there is no place to rest, there is no place to replenish, and in the end you can only fight less and less.

In front of Xue Ru were two roads, one was completely reversed to the center of the national capital, and he acted according to orders, so that although there would be no victory, there would be casualties, but he could get additional soldiers, weapons and ammunition. The other way is to choose a place to establish your own base area, advance can be attacked, retreat can be defended, and slowly develop your strength.

However, there are two things that are difficult for her to do, and if she defects to the national government, she must accept the command, and fighting battles like Shanghai, Nanjing, and Xuzhou is to use the lives of soldiers to waste time with the Japanese army. If he establishes a base area by himself, how to deal with the relationship between the KMT and the Communist Party, it has been 38 years, and the CCP guerrillas have begun to bloom everywhere, and Xue Ru has the heart to avoid it, otherwise he has already bumped into it.

What are those people in Dingyuan City doing, who are they, Xue Ru also knows, Li Qingyun wants to eliminate them and incorporate them into the county brigade, but the people don't listen, and Xue Ru also knows when they leave the city. Therefore, she didn't say anything, she let it go, she was a later generation, and she had more scruples in her heart. As a snow fox, neither side can tolerate her, whether it is Wu Yuzhao or Lan Xunzhou, they all have very serious thoughts, fortunately, Lai Changwen and Liu Yuanshan are from low backgrounds, and they don't have such thoughts, but they are also officers of the national army, and Xue Ru also has scruples.

This is also the main reason why she is advancing to Lu'an, Lu'an is backed by Dabie Mountain, close to Hefei, and close to the Yangtze River, which is undoubtedly a good strategic location, but it is the place of the four detachments of the New Fourth Army, and it is now Xu Yuanquan's territory, what should Xue Ru do?

If there is no development, there are only these 1,800 people, what will happen in the future? As soon as the troops were disbanded, they left on their own. Otherwise, how many devils can be hit, it can only be like now, and Xue Ru is unwilling. However, expanding the army and expanding its power is now not tolerated by the Kuomintang, and if it has the name of the national army on its head, it will not be allowed by others in the future!

Xue Ru didn't know how those seniors got it, but why was she so aggrieved? Shake your head, drive away the thoughts in your head, or take one step at a time. Since you have come to this world and brought yourself to the battlefield of resistance against Japan, you will fight against Japan and fight devils first, and it will be useless to think about it now, and you can't come up with a good way.

The distance from here to Lu'an is not close, in order to avoid the reconnaissance plane and be discovered by the devil, it took three or four days to reach Lu'an, in Xin'an Town, Xue Ru saw Wei Ming: "What's the situation?" ”

Wei Ming said: "Hefei did not go in, the Japanese army was very strict, I don't know the situation inside, but I know that the Japanese army transferred the 23rd Wing and the 45th Wing of the 6th Division, commanded by the commander of the 36th Brigade Takada Akemi, from Chaoxian and Hanshan to attack, and the 28th Division assisted on the side, it only took two days to capture Hefei, the Tenth Army withdrew to Dashu Mountain to resist, and also retreated to the area of Lu'an Huo County a few days ago, the Japanese army completely controlled Hefei and the surrounding areas, it was the time for the battle to recuperate, and there was no sign of attacking Lu'an. ”

Xue Ru frowned: "Xu Yuanquan is the strength of three divisions, as well as the Hefei Security Regiment, how can he only hold it for two days?" ”

Wei Ming said with some anger: "Aren't you complaining about the New Fourth Army, these guys who have not achieved enough things and have more than enough failures? ”

Xue Ru was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Don't talk nonsense, during the cooperation, don't let people say that we sabotaged the War of Resistance, what is going on?" ”

Wei Ming said: "The front line of Deshengmen is the Hefei militia to guard and block the Japanese army, originally Hefei blocking battle, the Japanese army dispatched chariots and planes, the fight was very hard, and the casualties were also very large. But I don't know why, the people of the security regiment were instigated by the CCP to disagree with such a stubborn defense and wanted to withdraw from Hefei. How could the command agree that the commander of the 199th Division, Luo, removed the head of the security regiment and arrested the commander of the civilian regiment. These people ignored the order and withdrew from Hefei without authorization, so that Deshengmen was unguarded by soldiers and was rushed into the city by the Japanese army, and the Tenth Army had to withdraw and retreat to Dashu Mountain to resist. ”

Liu Yuanshan said angrily: "What kind of war of resistance is to know that he has developed weapons, and he will disregard the country and the nation, and disrupt the party." ”

Xue Ru was a little unconvinced, he knew the New Fourth Army, the development of strength was beyond reproach, and he still wanted to expand it, what would he use to resist without troops, but they were definitely not people who disregarded the overall situation, how could they pull up troops to mutiny at a critical moment? There must be a reason for this, but seeing Wei Ming and Liu Yuanshan made Xue Ru feel surprised. said: "These news may not be reliable, and it is not ruled out that Xu Yuanquan wants to shirk the responsibility for the loss of Hefei, so we must not jump to conclusions." Besides, doesn't Snow Fox also disapprove of this kind of hard-fought combat method? If we were to be put there to defend it, would you do it? ”

In this way, Liu Yuanshan and Wei Ming stopped talking, these people have accepted Xue Ru's combat concept, and they will not fight this kind of positional warfare to the death, so they feel that what Xue Ru said is reasonable, and it is really possible that Xu Yuanquan shirked his responsibility.

Lai Changwen suddenly said: "Miss, I see that you seem to know the CCP very well, and you also defend them a little. ”

What happened in Dingyuan City, as the chief of staff and captain of the Snow Fox, of course Liu Yuanshan and Lai Changwen knew, and some of the situations were reported by Wei Ming, of course, they were all clear, let's look at Xue Ru together.

Of course, Xue Ru wanted to say that I would also be one of them in the future, of course I had to maintain it, but looking at the appearance of a few people, I had to say: "They are all anti-Japanese troops, of course they have to be maintained, do they want to maintain Li Qingyun's county brigade?" Besides, what do you mean, Lai Changwen? ”

Lai Changwen hurriedly said: "Miss misunderstood, the four detachments of the New Fourth Army are in the Dabie Mountain area, after we enter Lu'an, it is inevitable that we will collide, how should the relationship be handled?" ”

Xue Ru was still thinking about how to deal with it, but she couldn't help but say: "That's an anti-Japanese friendly army, we will cooperate if we fight devils, and we have nothing to do with other things, so we don't participate." ”

Lai Changwen said: "Yes, I understand. ”

Liu Yuanshan is a little smart: "Miss, you asked Sun Zheng to contact them to exchange weapons, I think it's better to forget it, although it is a cooperation between the two families, it is better not to contact, so as not to fall into suspicion, and it will not be clear when the time comes." ”

Xue Ru nodded, he already understood the thoughts of these people under him, and he didn't want to say anything more. I had to say: "I don't know why Sun Zheng has no news, let's talk about it when he comes back." ”

Then he asked: "Which army is stationed in Lu'an?" What's the situation? ”

Wei Ming just talked about the loss of Hefei just now, and hurriedly said: "Garrisoned in Lu'an is the 48th Division of the Tenth Army, Xu Jiwu's troops, the 41st Division is stationed in Shucheng, the 199th Division is Huoshan, and the military headquarters of the Tenth Army is also in Huoshan. ”

Xue Ru nodded and said, "Go directly to Lu'an City and rest in Lu'an tonight." ”

The Snow Fox troops are also very tired, they came out of Dingyuan, entered the Jiepai set overnight, and then hit an ambush of the 68th Wing, and drove for two days and three nights, and they were very tired to arrive here.

It was only a dozen miles away from Xin'an to Lu'an, and when the snow fox arrived in Lu'an, it was already late in the afternoon.

Xu Jiwu also rose step by step, starting from a platoon commander, to today is already a division commander, from the civil war to the Anti-Japanese War, more than 20 years of military career, if it were not for the Shanghai operation, and then to Nanjing, he would not have been promoted to division commander, I am afraid that he is still the brigade commander and regiment commander, the 48th division is not as good as the 41st division, that is the army commander started the army, however, the 48th division is expanded on the basis of the 41st division, the 199th division of the tenth army is not the original unit, it is a division temporarily transferred to the Hefei Defense War, so the army commander put his two divisions outside, And placing the 199th Division in Huoshan obviously did not trust the 199th Division.

There is another reason, Xu Jiwu knows, that is, Huoshan is the base of the four detachments of the New Fourth Army, and the commander of the 199th Division, Luo is an expert, pursuing all the way from Jiangxi, and fighting with the *, the army commander arranged it like this, of course he has ideas, this kind of restriction of the CCP, let Luo Shujia do it, the army commander does not want to offend the CCP. However, this time, Hefei only defended two days with three divisions of one army, and it is really unreasonable, and the responsibility is heavy. Whether it was because of the mutiny of the security group, everyone knows in their hearts.

But since they said so, of course, they all said so, and this is indeed the case, if it weren't for them suddenly going out of the city to join the CCP, how could Hefei fall so quickly, Xu Jiwu felt as if he had not wronged them.

But the Japanese army is in Hefei, whether it is to attack Lu'an, it is almost impossible to think, it is certain. The next target of the Japanese army was Wuhan, and this kind of purpose is understood by a little brain. The best way to attack Wuhan is the Pinghan Railway, I heard that Xuzhou has begun to retreat, the Japanese army surrounded Xuzhou from three sides, if you don't retreat, it will be annihilated, and there is not much hope for victory in the War of Resistance. Xu Jiwu was a little worried in his heart, if the Japanese army attacked Wuhan along the Pinghan Railway, the Yangtze River would inevitably be all the way, and Lu'an would not be too dangerous, so he began to admire the army commander, give up Hefei, and retreat to Dabie Mountain, which is wise, it is impossible for the Japanese army to attack Dabie Mountain, it is useless.

But Xu Jiwu did not dare to be careless, ordered to strengthen the defense of Lu'an, storage of strategic materials, today heard the war report, felt that the Japanese 68th Wing was heavily damaged, retreated to Chuxian, the two wings occupied Dingyuan, and did not attack Hefei, and retreated, it seems that the devil will not attack in a short time, he feels a little relieved.

"Report." A soldier came in: "Report to the division commander, there is a snow fox brigade outside the city that asks to enter the city." ”

Xu Jiwu stood up suddenly, Snow Fox Brigade? They didn't stop for a short time, they were all troops from Shanghai, and they went to Nanjing together, and then to Jiangbei, but the name of the snow fox was almost calloused. It turned out that the Tenth Army was in Hefei, and they were in Chao County, but for some reason, the Snow Fox split and became the 45th Independent Brigade, which was headed for the Macheng line, and the Snow Fox Brigade remained as a guerrilla force.

The captain of the brigade was replaced by Liu Yuanshan, but it was still the same as before, east and west, and there was no law, but it was really a veritable guerrilla, and it could swim better than the CCP. However, according to the war report, this snow fox can indeed fight, with the number of a brigade, a wing of the Japanese army is not an opponent at all, no, I just received news two days ago, they actually occupied Dingyuan, and the Japanese army dispatched three wings to deal with one of them, which is an unprecedented thing, against a group army of the national army, and it does not need three wings, it is said that the snow fox only has more than 1,000 people.

Anyway, Xu Jiwu, who is also a soldier, admired, and the sentry who came to report confirmed that the snow fox was indeed a fox, and he appeared in the area of the Jiepai set out of nowhere, severely damaging the 68th Wing of the Japanese army, and then there was no news, but they appeared in Lu'an again in three days, what are they doing here?

As soon as he thought of this, Xu Jiwu smiled, there is such a brigade that can fight in Lu'an, shouldn't he be very safe? He stood up and said, "Open the gates, let them in, and arrange a place for them." ”

He Guozhen, the chief of staff beside him, stood up and said, "Slow down, division commander." ”

Xu Jiwu was stunned for a moment and said, "Division commander, I think it's better not to let them enter the city." ”

Xu Jiwu asked puzzledly, "Why?" ”

He Guozhen said: "Division commander, the Japanese army has no intention of attacking Lu'an, but the snow fox makes the Japanese hold a grudge, they are in Dingyuan, and the devils actually attack them with three wings, I am worried that after the snow fox enters Lu'an, it will attract the devils to attack." ”

Xu Jiwu was right when he thought about it, this snow fox didn't seem to stop, and if the Japanese army didn't attack, he would provoke the Japanese. Knowing that they are coming to Lu'an, then they have to adjust a division to attack?
