Heroes of the War of Resistance

The defenders of the three cities that are currently captured are all under the jurisdiction of the Suzhou Defense Command.Earlier, the garrison officer didn't want to alarm too many people, and felt that with the strength of his own garrison, he should be able to take back the recovered Haozhou City.

But no one expected that in just one day, they lost two cities in a row.Such a big thing happened, even if they wanted to hide it, they couldn't hide it.What can be done now is to regain the lost face and wipe out the anti-Japanese troops that entered northern Anhui.

Hu Biao, who was far away in Mengcheng, naturally didn't know about the Suzhou garrison's decision.In the early hours of the morning, Hu Biao received a telegram from Bai Chongxi, and the fifth war zone dispatched a division from the security forces in the rear to go to northern Anhui.

In addition, Bai Chongxi sent Hu Biao nearly [-] pilots with experience in flying airplanes.Although these pilots are not professional, they have all piloted fighter planes made by the Japanese army before, so it shouldn't be a big problem to fly the planes.

After hearing the news, Hu Biao also quickly knew what Bai Chongxi was planning.If he really could snatch thirty fighter planes from the hands of the little devils, I'm afraid the Fifth War Zone would become famous all over the country in an instant.These fighter planes will also become the spoils of the Guangxi Clan.

Since Lao Jiang didn't like it, he didn't even want to send valuable pilots to cooperate in the battle.Then if the planes were actually seized in the future, I believe that Lao Jiang would be too embarrassed to ask, so let Bai Chongxi take these planes over!

Thinking of this, Hu Biao also smiled and said: "This Bai Zhuge, you have a good abacus! But, if we really want to eat this big piece of fat, we have to share some of it no matter what. Those planes, I I'm very hungry too!"

With Bai Chongxi, a big man from the Guangxi family, at the front, a few planes will be dropped by "Tan Mo". I believe that even if Lao Jiang knows, he won't be able to say much.Correspondingly, Bai Chongxi didn't dare to eat alone, because the gain would outweigh the loss.

Although the national army did not have the rule of returning the captured to the public, but when it comes to equipment such as fighter jets, I believe Lao Jiang will also be very moved.The Anti-Japanese War has been fought until now, and the national army can be said to have suffered from the Japanese fighter planes.

Even if the pilots of the national army are currently learning Soviet fighters, I believe they will not reject Japanese fighters.Lao Jiang refused to send pilots to cooperate in the battle. After thinking about it, he thought that Hu Biao's plan to seize the fighter plane had a low chance of success.

Each of the pilots trained so far can be said to be gold. If they were to be lost on the frontline battlefield, it would be a real loss.On the other hand, the pilots sent by Bai Chongxi were originally former pilots who turned into infantry officers.

This also means that if these officers who have no fighter planes to fly can capture the little devil's fighter planes, they will regain their status as flying officers.Even if you can't grab the little devil's fighter, you can still serve as a grassroots commander.

To Hu Biao's surprise, when he received a telegram from the Eighth Route Army, Hu Biao unexpectedly received another telegram from Lu Province.The person who sent this telegram also had a relationship with Hu Biao at the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.

Seeing the telegram sent by Deputy Commander Xu, Hu Biao also knew that the Independence Regiment also came from his subordinates.In fact, the independent regiment also existed in the form of a guerrilla brigade before, and was dispatched here immediately after it was temporarily formed.

Now that the Independence Regiment has seized a large amount of weapons, ammunition and supplies from the Battle of Mengcheng, Deputy Commander Xu suddenly realized that if the channel between northern Anhui and Lu Province can be opened up, the Lu Provincial Column will also benefit immensely.

Looking at this telegram, Hu Biao thought for a while and said, "Call back the Shandong Provincial Column. I can't give too much advice about the expansion plan of the Independent Regiment. I just hope that the expansion of the Independent Regiment will not stimulate other surrounding areas. Friendly combat troops.

As for the idea of ​​establishing bases in northern Anhui and southwestern Shandong, I think it can be gradually drawn up.Judging from the current deployment of Japanese troops, it is relatively difficult to break the blockade of the Japanese army, and it is easy to irritate the surrounding Japanese troops.

Once the Japanese army transfers troops from Xuzhou and other areas, the Independence Regiment and the combat troops in Southwest Shandong will be greatly threatened.The idea of ​​the base area can be postponed, but several secret transportation supply lines can be established! "

According to the historical process of the Anti-Japanese War that he knew in his mind, Hu Biao knew that the Eighth Route Army that would advance to the Central Plains in the future would not be led by Deputy Commander Xu.Wanting to connect Southwest Shandong and Northern Anhui into one, Hu Biao felt a little too optimistic now.

Right now, the three battles and three victories are more due to the benefits of the surprise attack.When the Japanese army reacted and took it seriously, then Hu Biao and other invited combat troops would not be able to recover the lost ground so easily.

Appropriate suggestions can be given, but when it comes to such strategic planning, Hu Biao doesn't want to intervene too much.The reason is very simple. Hu Biao is more of a neutral person now, and some things are too involved, and it will be difficult to get out at that time.

After sending the telegram, looking at the independent regiment that was transporting supplies outside the city, and looking up at the sky, Hu Biao quickly said: "Old Qin, assemble the troops, we are going to leave. After dawn, the little devil may send a plane Come here, it's time to go!"

"Understood! Everything is almost packed, and all the wounded have been sent to the rescue team camp. Would you like to say hello to the independent regiment? If the little devil really sends out a fighter, the people in the city may have to move in advance."

As Hu Biao's direct subordinate, Qin Tianyou also knew that the little devil had a strong desire for revenge.I really want the little devil to know that Mengcheng has fallen.Then the Japanese fighter planes who came to reconnaissance would inevitably launch air strikes and bombings on Mengcheng.

During the time they came to northern Anhui, Hu Biao and Qin Tianyou heard a lot about the crimes committed by Japanese fighter planes.Many counties that had not been occupied by the Japanese army were threatened by air strikes by the little devils every now and then, and many innocent people were killed by the little devils.

It can be said that the bombing by Japanese fighter planes is a great threat to the soldiers and civilians in many areas ruled by the national army.Because no one knows when the fighter planes of those little devils will suddenly appear in the sky above their residence.

Knowing this, Hu Biao came up with the idea of ​​attacking the Japanese military airport in Bengbu.In Hu Biao's view, only by destroying the Japanese airfield closest to northern Anhui, the anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians in northern Anhui and the rear can be less threatened by Japanese fighter planes.

Taking off from other airports, the little devil's fighter plane also has a limited range.In addition, other airports also have corresponding combat missions, and if they want to be transferred to northern Anhui to carry out bombing missions, the number of times should not be too many.

In fact, this kind of violent bombing is also one of the tactics of the Japanese army.Realizing that the ground troops could not wipe out the elite national army who were desperately resisting in a short time, the Japanese army could only use this method of air strikes and destruction to drain the vitality of the Nationalist government.

Secondly, this kind of air strike can also effectively attack the resistance will of the anti-Japanese military and civilians, and disintegrate the determination of the anti-Japanese military and civilians to resist resolutely.In short, the national government, which has lost its air supremacy, cannot effectively deal with the air strikes of the little devils.

Even Lao Jiang, who had moved to the mountain city, was extremely worried about the air strike plan formulated by the Japanese army.In the history of the Anti-Japanese War, the mountain city suffered from multiple batches of bombing by the Japanese army, which also caused countless people in the mountain city to be killed in the air raids.

Knowing that Hu Biao was leaving, Sun Weimin, who was organizing troops to transfer supplies, was also very concerned and said, "Mr. Hu, do we need the cooperation of our independent regiment for the next battle plan? I'm afraid I need to take a rest for a day!"

"It doesn't matter! My subordinates and I actually need to take a rest. Besides, I also need to see what contingency measures the little devil has. I will think about how to fight next when the little devil makes a move.

If there is no accident, shortly after dawn, the little devil's bomber is likely to fly over.Therefore, while transferring materials, I hope that you can prepare for air defense in advance and find someone to organize the people in the city to take shelter outside the city.

Although it is more troublesome to do so, if it really encounters the bombing of the little devils, I am afraid that many people may die.After losing three cities in a row, the little devil must be extremely angry.It is also very possible to take some retaliatory bombing! "

Before leaving, Hu Biao did not forget to tell Sun Weimin.Even doing so would leave Montreal looking empty.But in a short period of time, Hu Biao felt that in addition to the garrison troops in these counties, the fewer people the better.

What's more, the independent regiment's takeover of Mengcheng is only temporary. After doing some anti-war propaganda, the independent regiment will also withdraw from Mengcheng as soon as the main regiment sent by Zhao Chengwu arrives.If two troops are stationed in Mengcheng at the same time, I am afraid that both troops will feel uncomfortable!

Chapter List Chapter [-] is just a bait

After winning three consecutive cities, Hu Biao was not in a hurry to launch an attack on the surrounding Japanese-occupied areas.It's not that the combat troops can't hold on, it's more to wait for reinforcements, and at the same time see what the surrounding Japanese troops will do next.

Regarding the decision made by Hu Biao, Zhao Chengwu's troops, the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, and the guerrilla detachment that established a base in Guobei didn't say much.For them, it will take time to digest the recovered three counties.

Especially Zhao Chengwu, who took over the three counties, although he is very happy to have such a record.But Zhao Chengwu, who sits in Wocheng, knows in his heart that whether the county he takes over can be kept is what he needs to worry about the most.

Fortunately, the war zone has sent a division of troops to reinforce, and with one more division, Zhao Chengwu will feel more confident in defending the three counties that he has taken over.Worst of all, in the face of the little devil's counterattack, he can also fight against the little devil.

On the other hand, Hu Biao of Mengcheng, who had captured Mengcheng, sent a large number of reconnaissance troops to the surrounding counties to carry out reconnaissance, and at the same time sent a report to the guerrilla detachment in Lu Province, asking him to deploy elite troops to northern Anhui to stand by.

To take down the three counties occupied by the little devil, the little devil will definitely not sit idly by because of his pissing nature.If possible, Hu Biao would think of a way to hit the little devil's reinforcements first, and then slowly eat away at the isolated and helpless defenders of the cities.

As Hu Biao delivered a series of orders, the military commanders and intelligence personnel of the Eighth Route Army lurking in northern Anhui also paid close attention to the military movements of the surrounding Japanese troops.The intelligence team under Hu Biao also tried their best to find out the defense deployment of the Japanese army in each city.

Looking at the telegrams gathered by the reconnaissance troops one after another, Hu Biao quickly found a very suitable place for an ambush.When Hu Biao received the confidential information from the military, he felt that the place he had chosen was very good.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Send a report to Commander Zhao, and ask him to deploy the defensive troops in Haozhou and Wocheng in the name of changing defenses, and adopt the method of lying down at night and rushing to Mengcheng to stand by. The task of defending the cities, Hand it over to the new troops."

In order to avoid being detected by the Japanese army, the reinforcement troops dispatched by the fifth theater were also ordered to enter the northern Anhui area by night march.The intention of doing this is also very simple, that is, to hide the strength as much as possible so that the Japanese army can't figure out the reality.

Adopting a rotation method to replace Zhao Chengwu's troops with new troops, it seems that the number of troops has not decreased.In fact, Zhao Chengwu's troops were hidden in order to launch surprise attacks on the Japanese army at any time.

On the other hand, after the independent regiment that cooperated with the capture of Mengcheng joined the military backbone team sent by Northwest Shandong, the combat effectiveness and cohesion of the troops have improved a lot.After some consideration, the independent regiment finally decided to set up its base in Mengcheng.

For the Independent Regiment, they are undoubtedly the troops that most expect Hu Biao to continue to attack the Japanese defense area.The reason is simple. Only by pushing the offensive line farther away from Mengcheng, the independent regiment who has just arrived here can get more development time.

After sending the telegram to Zhao Chengwu, Hu Biao continued to send a telegram to the independent regiment, asking them to transfer no less than two battalions of troops and wait for Hu Biao's notification at any time.The guerrilla detachment dispatched a main battalion and still maintained the strength of a regiment.

As for the task force, a battalion of troops will be drawn from the rescue teams stationed in the Yellow Flood Area to cooperate with the detachment in carrying out follow-up combat missions.Together with the troops sent from Maling Mountain, the task force also has a strength of about one regiment.

In general, in order to complete the follow-up battle plan, Hu Biao also used a lot of hidden strength.Fortunately, from the beginning to the end, the Fifth Theater and the Eighth Route Army, which cooperated with each other, did not know how many troops Hu Biao had under his command.

The only thing that can be confirmed is that Hu Biao's troops are deeply hidden and distributed in many places in the enemy-occupied area.As long as these troops don't show up, no one knows whether these troops were formed by Hu Biao early in the morning and then hid in the enemy-occupied area.

According to the information provided by the military command, the Japanese troops stationed in Anhui Province were extremely angry in view of the recovery of the three counties in northern Anhui.The Anhui Provincial Garrison based in Xuzhou quickly mobilized an elite infantry brigade and planned to enter Suzhou in batches by train.

After receiving the information from the military command, Hu Biao soon knew that the Japanese army was bound to organize a large-scale encirclement and suppression operation.For Hu Biao, the best defense is to attack, even if there is an extra infantry brigade, there is actually no need to worry too much.

As far as the current situation is concerned, the combat troops that Hu Biao can mobilize are no less than the surrounding Japanese troops.If we really want to fight, I believe that the Japanese army will not be able to get too much money.But waiting for the Japanese army to attack seems somewhat passive.

In order to mobilize the surrounding Japanese troops, Hu Biao first dispatched a combat unit headed by the Independent Regiment to detour back to Bengbu and cooperate with the reconnaissance team that had already entered Bengbu to attack the Japanese troops in Bengbu at any time.

After receiving the telegram from Hu Biao, Sun Weimin personally rushed to the place where Hu Biao was, and said very puzzled: "Mr. Hu, it is impossible to capture Bengbu with only our independent regiment? There are many devils!"
