readx;? Wang Haitao and Feng Gu looked at each other like this, forgetting everything, and there were tears flashing in Feng Gu's eyes. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info I don't know how long it took, a light laugh broke the silence in the room, and this laughter also woke up the two who were staring at each other. Wang Haitao opened his mouth and asked: "How did you come here? This is behind enemy lines, and there will be danger at any time." ”

Feng Gu replied: "Brother Tao, Nanjing has been absent for more than half a year, and I miss you so much! When I was in Wuhan, I heard that you had won the battle, but you were also injured, so I couldn't sit still. Later, I learned that the road from Anqing to you had been opened, so I brought Tian Yu to you. Wang Haitao knew that the road from Wuhan to here was basically a nationalized area, which was safe, and besides, people had arrived here safely, so he couldn't bear to blame them anymore.

At this time, Tangshan Leopard at the door stretched out his head and said, "Junzao, Miss, the banquet has been prepared, let's take the eldest lady into the seat!" When Tian Yu heard this, he jumped high with joy, and shouted: "Sister Feng, brother-in-law, go and eat, I've eaten all the dry food all the way, and I haven't eaten a few meals seriously, I'm hungry." Tangshan Leopard knew that this Miss Tian was Tang Longzai's fiancée, so he didn't dare to slack off, and said: "Miss Tian, today is a banquet from Hongxing Building, and I promise that you will have a beautiful meal." ”

When Wang Haitao took Feng Gu and Tian Yu to the living room, he was taken aback, there were more than a dozen tables of banquets in the living room, not only the officers of the 93rd Division in Jing County came, but among the veterans of the 277th Brigade, they were basically from the Evil Tiger Village today. When these people saw Wang Haitao and Feng Gu coming in, they all stood up and shouted, "Military seat, eldest lady." ”

Wang Haitao was just taken aback by the arrival of people, and Feng Gu greeted these old people excitedly. The wine was drunk until about nine o'clock in the evening, when most of the people were drunk, and then it gradually dispersed. Tian Yu also drank a few glasses of wine, and then went back to the guest room with Tangshan Leopard to rest. Wang Haitao and Feng Gu basically sent everyone away, and then returned to the bedroom.

As soon as he entered the bedroom, as soon as Wang Haitao closed the door, Feng Gu threw herself into Wang Haitao's arms, and Wang Haitao also hugged Feng Gu tightly. Xiao Biesheng is newly married, just like in this war-torn era, every reunion after separation is so difficult and extremely precious. The two were talking about their lovesickness to each other, and at the same time, they were crazy and passionate for half the night, and then they hugged each other and fell asleep tiredly.

In the next few days, Aunt Feng followed Wang Haitao almost every step of the way, even if Wang Haitao was handling business in the command room, Aunt Feng was sitting quietly in a corner watching Wang Haitao. During the Spring Festival, Wang Haitao kept receiving telegrams from all over the place, including those from Longzhou, the Jurong base, Chongqing, and Su Zuxin of the 90th Army.

Most of these telegrams are about peace and greetings, only Su Zuxin's telegram is different. Su Zuxin's telegram told Wang Haitao that the 90th Army had successfully completed the task of breaking off Xuzhou, and because the Japanese army had cut off the Longhai Railway, General Li Zongren, commander of the theater of operations, ordered the 90th Army to enter the Dabie Mountains through Bozhou and Fuyang in Anhui Province, and use the natural barrier of the Dabie Mountains to prevent the Japanese army from advancing westward.

After reading the telegram, Wang Haitao knew that the battle of Wuhan had finally begun, but now the Japanese army had only one wing stationed in Hefei, and it would probably take another month or two for the Japanese army to mobilize a large group of men and horses to start attacking Wuhan. I should also do something for the battle of Wuhan. However, before that, we must first send people to the Jurong base to bring back a batch of weapons and ammunition, so that the troops can have sufficient supplies.

The Japanese army did not have many troops along the way, and a battalion of the reconnaissance regiment and the guard regiment was enough to complete this task. Besides, he is going to take the team to act again, Feng Gu and Tian Yu can't follow him to the battlefield, it's hard to say whether Wuhan can be defended now, and Wang Haitao is not worried about letting them go back to Wuhan again, then the Jurong base is the best choice.

Wang Haitao told Aunt Feng about his thoughts, but he didn't expect Aunt Feng to resolutely disagree to leave Wang Haitao. Feng Gu said: "Brother Tao, I am also a woman who can hold a gun, and Tian Yu and I have both worked in Longzhou Hospital, so we will stay in the logistics department and not go anywhere!" Wang Haitao also understood how sad Feng Gu would be if he wanted to leave him at this time. Besides, Feng Gu and Tian Yu are indeed not weak women, so it seems that they can only take them.

Since Wang Haitao had no intention of letting the two leave, he ordered the reconnaissance regiment and the guard regiment to transport a batch of weapons and ammunition from the Jurong base to Jing County, and at the same time asked the 93rd Division to make preparations before the battle. Then he began to prepare all kinds of military supplies. Ten days later, the reconnaissance regiment sent information that two Japanese divisions had arrived in Wuhu City, numbered the 27th Division and the 106th Division.

Although Wang Haitao knew that this was a Japanese army preparing to cross the Yangtze River from Wuhu and then attack Wuhan, Wang Haitao was still afraid that the Japanese army would attack Fanchang County and Tongling County, so he ordered the 150th Division and the 171st Division to make defensive preparations to strictly prevent a sneak attack by the Japanese army on the garrison. The atmosphere in Jing County suddenly became tense.

The 150th Division even transferred a regiment from the 413th Brigade stationed in Nanling County to Fanchang County, and all the artillery was also transferred. The Tongling side was also very nervous, and the 171st Division set up a total of four defense lines from the riverside wharf to the west city wall, and a battalion of troops was placed on each defense line.

As a result, the Japanese army did not easily provoke Wang Haitao, and soon crossed the Yangtze River from Wuhu and rushed to Hefei. Su Zuxin also sent a telegram to Wang Haitao that the 90th Army had arrived in Lu'an County and set up a blocking position at the southern foot of Dabie Mountain. Among them, the 91st Division was stationed on the line from Jinzhai to Yeji, the 92nd Division was stationed on the line from Huoshan to Yuexi County, the 90th Division and the military headquarters were stationed on the line from Huaining to Qianshan County, and the military headquarters was located in Qianshan County.

Wang Haitao knew that the Battle of Wuhan in history began with the Japanese army's Potian detachment in Taiwan attacking Anqing, and that Yang Sen's 27th Group Army of the Sichuan Army lost the important town of Anqing City after only one day of defense, and it was after the Japanese army captured Anqing City that it went up the Yangtze River and attacked Jiujiang, the gateway to Wuhan. The current city of Anqing is still garrisoned by Yang Sen's 27th Group Army, and it is necessary to prevent the Japanese army from capturing Anqing City in only one day, as in history.

Yang Sen's 27th Group Army was actually only one 20th Army, with two divisions totaling more than 10,000 people, and the combat effectiveness of the Sichuan Army was really limited, and it was normal for it to be vulnerable in the face of the powerful Japanese army. If you want not to lose Anqing City, you have to think of a way only on your side. Wang Haitao knew that there was still a detachment of the New Fourth Army operating in Anqing, and Guichi County, which was closest to Anqing, was also the station of the New Fourth Army.

For this reason, Wang Haitao sent a telegram to Ye Tingjun, the commander of the New Fourth Army, in which he said that the Japanese army had increased its strength in Hefei and was afraid that it would soon be approaching Anqing City, which was garrisoned by two divisions of the Sichuan Army and whose combat effectiveness was very weak. In order to keep Anqing intact, Wang Haitao asked the fourth detachment of the New Fourth Army to assist in the defense of Anqing City, and asked Commander Ye to agree to let one of his brigades be stationed in Guichi County, so that he could support Anqing City in time.

After this telegram was taken by Ye Ting to the military meeting for discussion, everyone agreed to Wang Haitao's request, not to mention Wang Haitao's help to the New Fourth Army, the New Fourth Army was also under the leadership of the Jiangnan Theater, and Wang Haitao, the commander of the theater, politely used a word of invitation, otherwise a paper order would be issued, and it would have to be done.

General Ye Ting immediately called Wang Haitao back and fully agreed to Wang Haitao's request. Then he gave Gao Jingting, the commander of the fourth detachment, and asked the fourth detachment to hold Anqing City at any cost. Gao Jingting, the commander of the fourth detachment, called back and said that he could support the Kuomintang troops guarding Anqing, but did not agree with Commander Ye Ting's order to hold Anqing at any cost.

After obtaining General Ye Ting's consent, Wang Haitao immediately called Mu Suzhong, commander of the 278th Brigade, and demanded that Mu Suzhong lead the 278th Brigade to immediately advance to Guichi County; after arriving in Guichi County, first, he should get in touch with the 27th Group Army guarding Anqing and be ready to cross the river at any time to support the defenders of Anqing; second, he should pay close attention to the Japanese transport ships on the Yangtze River, and as soon as the existing Japanese transport ships carrying a large number of Japanese troops up the river, they should immediately inform the Anqing defenders.

In order to increase the firepower of the 278th Brigade, Wang Haitao specially transferred a company of the 75 Mountain Artillery Battalion from the heavy artillery regiment and 12 75 Mountain Artillery Guns to Mu Suzhong for command. After Mu Suzhong accepted the order, he immediately assembled his team and drove to Guichi County. Five days later, the 1st Battalion of the Guard Regiment safely transported 10 truckloads of guns and ammunition from the Jurong base to Jing County, and by this time Wang Haitao had already completed the preparations for the whole division's attack.

Wang Haitao was preparing to lead the 93rd Division to advance in the direction of Anqing, and then participate in the defense of Wuhan, when he suddenly received an order from Chongqing, asking Wang Haitao's Jiangnan Theater to cooperate with the Third Theater to prevent the Japanese army from making a detour to the Guangdong-Hanzhou Railway through the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway. Immediately afterwards, Wang Haitao received a telegram from General Gu Zhutong, commander of the Third Theater of Operations.

General Gu Zhutong's telegram was more polite, asking Wang Haitao to send a unit to flank the 22nd and 24th divisions of the Japanese army that were attacking in the direction of Jingdezhen. Wang Haitao took the two telegrams and looked at the map. It is clear on the map that the closest to the Jingdezhen area of Jiangxi Province is the New Fourth Army stationed near Huizhou Mansion, but the Fourth Army stationed in Huizhou Mansion should be a detachment with poor combat effectiveness, and the number of people is only about 2,000 people, so it is impossible to fulfill General Gu Zhutong's request.

After thinking for a long time, Wang Haitao sent another telegram to Su Zuxin of the 90th Army, asking the 90th Army to send some troops to prepare to support Anqing, and to ensure that Qingqing was not lost, while he led all the troops of the 93rd Division except the 278th Brigade to Jingdezhen through Huizhou Mansion. After he left, Jing County was empty, and it was not enough to leave a police brigade and a security team, so Wang Haitao thought twice about letting the 170th Division send a regiment to the county seat of Jing County.
