Heroes of the War of Resistance

Faced with a series of changes that occurred in northern Anhui, the Japanese army felt at a loss.Although I know this series of battles, it is directly related to the fifth theater.However, the Japanese army has not been able to find out the commander who dominated the frontline battle.

On the contrary, Hu Biao, who saw the appearance of the Japanese reconnaissance plane, said very directly: "Order the troops to start advancing towards Suzhou. Send a report to the assault battalion and ask them to join the local rescue team. We will discuss the next step when we arrive. battle plan."

"Yes, Captain!"

"Send a telegram to Commander Bai in the fifth war zone, ordering the troops stationed near Haozhou to start moving towards Huaibei and Suzhou, divert the attention of the Japanese army, and buy more preparation time for the troops in Bengbu."

"understand!"

Having received a telegram from the assault battalion earlier, the Japanese troops stationed in Suzhou and Xuzhou have obviously stepped up their guard.Especially on the railway, heavy troops were deployed.Looking at this posture, I am also worried that the railway will continue to be damaged.

In fact, the mileage of railways destroyed by the assault battalion was enough for the Japanese army to repair for a long time.What's more, the railway from Suzhou to Bengbu has already been bombed to pieces, and it will only take more time to repair it.

According to Hu Biao's guess, the railway will not resume operation within a year.With the rescue team under his command, Hu Biao can send people every now and then to wreak havoc on the railway, which will definitely make the little devil go crazy and angry.

The more troops the little devils restrain on the railway line, the fewer troops will be dispatched to carry out encirclement and sweep missions.And what Hu Biao has to do in the later stage is to try to expand the base area and the size of the army behind the enemy when the little devil's attention is diverted.

According to statistics sent by telegrams earlier, Hu Biao already knew that the number of combat troops under his command had expanded to nearly ten thousand.Most of the troops are concentrated in Suzhou Province, and the number of troops in Lu Province is also quite large.

If it weren't for Hu Biao's intention to reduce and control the expansion of troops, I'm afraid this scale will be even bigger.In addition, most of these troops expanded by Hu Biao are elite soldiers and strong generals, and the combat quality and quality of the soldiers are not inferior to the Japanese army.

To Hu Biao's relief, the guerrillas and the main base areas did not need Hu Biao to invest funds for the time being.Through combat seizures and transactions, the ammunition and supplies in each base area are abundant, enough to cope with the big raids launched by the Japanese army in the later period.

And the assault battalion transferred from Maling Mountain this time was also selected from various companies in the form of a martial arts competition according to Hu Biao's request.Although its combat strength is not as good as that of the task force, it is also much stronger than the Japanese army.

This also shows that Hu Biao has always emphasized the line of elite soldiers, and now he is slowly seeing results.The most important thing is that the Japanese army does not know until now that these troops active in the occupied areas are under the command and dispatch of Hu Biao.

Where the Eighth Route Army is present, most of these guerrillas fight in the name of the Eighth Route Army guerrillas.Where there are national army armed behind enemy lines, they exist in the form of national army guerrillas behind enemy lines.Areas where the New Fourth Army is active naturally also use the banner of the New Fourth Army.

Those who are qualified to know Hu Biao, an alternative existence, are all bigwigs without exception.It is naturally impossible to obtain more information about Hu Biao from these people.This also eliminates the possibility of Hu Biao being exposed!

When Hu Biao's inspection of the troops is over, he will start the strategy of moving troops and transfer more elite troops to the southwest.At that time, even if the little devil knows about Hu Biao's existence, it may not be easy to trouble him!

When the Japanese army confirmed the news that Bengbu had been recovered, the super high class, which had been inquiring closely for the news, soon sent the Japanese army another shocking news. Biqugexx That is the rear of the Fifth Theater, a group of Japanese fighter planes landed.

If it is said that the rear of the fifth theater was bombed, I believe the Japanese army will not think there is any problem.Now the information fed back by the special high-level class is that these fighters landed at the airport built by the fifth theater, and all of them are Japanese fighters.

Where these fighters came from is already self-evident.Not to mention the loss of Bengbu, even the fighter planes parked in Bengbu by the Japanese army were taken over in one go.The Japanese generals in Xuzhou and Suzhou instantly felt that they had been slapped countless times.

Except for the fighter plane parked in Bengbu being seized by the Fifth War Zone, the super high class who had been criticized many times finally found out the surname of the commander who led the battle in northern Anhui.However, many Japanese generals felt that this information was not credible.

Looking at the information sent by the special high school, the head of the infantry brigade who was directing the war in Suzhou frowned and said, "Can the news be confirmed? Zhao Chengwu, a major general of the Guangxi Department, is the person who commanded the war in northern Anhui ?”

"General, according to the information we have inquired, this is indeed the case. The surprise attack on Haozhou and other cities earlier was closely related to this person's troops. I heard that this person is highly valued by Li and Bai of the Guangxi Clan. This news should be true!"

"Baga! If Bai Chongxi of the Guangxi faction commanded this battle, I might still think it is credible. With only one major general, how can he command the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army that appear on the battlefield? How can these troops cooperate closely?"

Many generals of the Japanese army have heard about the factions of the Anti-Japanese War troops.Now only a major general-level division commander who has never heard of it is guiding such a large-scale sneak attack. These generals of the Japanese army naturally feel untrustworthy.

The problem is, whether the Japanese army believes it or not, the Japanese intelligence personnel lurking in the mountain city soon reported another piece of information to the special high school.That is the major general commander, who was promoted to lieutenant general commander by Lao Jiang's commendation.

All the information gathered together seems to be telling the Japanese army that the war in northern Anhui is indeed in charge of the major general and division commander of Zhao Chengwu.As for why the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army cooperated with them, further investigation is needed.

On the other hand, Zhao Chengwu, who was in Bengbu at the moment, looked at the promotion telegram sent by the mountain city, and said with joy and worry: "This promotion order came in time! Looking at this posture, I will be pushed to the Be a target in front of you!"

Zhao Chengwu naturally knew about the news that Shancheng had promoted Hu Biao to major general earlier. ---It's just that Hu Biao's promotion was announced in the form of a secret telegram.As for his promotion to lieutenant general, the news seemed a bit extravagant.

In addition, in the telegram to reward and promote, it also clearly informed the commanders and fighters of the various armies that the reason why Zhao Chengwu was promoted was related to his successive recovery of many cities in northern Anhui.This also means that while Zhao Chengwu became famous, he was also targeted by the little devil.

Earlier, he was looking forward to promotion, but with Hu Biao and his party leading people away, Zhao Chengwu felt tremendous pressure.If these cities that have just been recovered are occupied by the little devil in an instant, then the result of waiting for him may not be too good.

Fortunately, as an officer, Bai Chongxi seems to be happy to cultivate him.When Zhao Chengwu was promoted to lieutenant general, he was ordered to add a new temporary division to him.In addition to the previous division, he also has the strength of three divisions under his command.

With more troops at hand, Zhao Chengwu naturally has more confidence to stick to it for a while.In addition to cooperating with Hu Biao in the battle, Zhao Chengwu also seized and accumulated a batch of supplies and ammunition.There are enough soldiers, weapons, ammunition and supplies, so there is naturally a lot more confidence.

Moreover, when Hu Biao left Bengbu, he also clearly informed Zhao Chengwu.Once the Japanese army launches a counterattack, the New Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army will cooperate with him to block the Japanese army's invasion on the front lines of Mengcheng and Wocheng, and will not hold him back.

Generally speaking, Zhao Chengwu didn't want the Japanese army to bury the lost ground once they counterattacked, and neither did Hu Biao, who planned this series of battles.What's more, Hu Biao has already said that the Japanese army should be unable to counterattack in a short time.

The reason is very simple, even if Hu Biao has led his combat troops to leave, he still intends to cause some sabotage in Xuzhou.Once the war in Xuzhou resumes, I believe that the Japanese army will not have time to take care of the war in Bengbu for a short time.

Zhao Chengwu, who took over the command of the front line, immediately gave an order to the defending troops under his command: "Order the defending troops of each city, in addition to hurrying up to prepare for the training, and build defensive fortifications on the traffic arteries and passes outside the city. Those who are negligent will follow the military law! "

According to Hu Biao's previous suggestion, the next thing Zhao Chengwu has to do is to prepare for the battle.While integrating the troops, improve the combat capability and quality of the troops.The second is to build fortifications, and build a lot of positions at the highway pass outside the city.

In this case, even if the little devil launches a counterattack and wants to sweep away like before, it is impossible to expect the defenders to surrender.In terms of fighting will, Hu Biao knows that the Gui army is more reliable!

Knowing that Hu Biao had left, Sun Weimin, who had returned to the base in Mengcheng with a large amount of supplies, still seemed somewhat regretful.This time, they were ordered to cooperate in the battle, and the independent regiment received a lot of weapons, ammunition and supplies with very few casualties.

It can be said that as far as the materials and ammunition currently stored by the Independent Regiment are concerned, it is not a big problem to expand the scale into a division.Fortunately, Sun Weimin also knows that the expansion of troops at this stage is too large, which will easily arouse the vigilance of the national army.

Therefore, according to Hu Biao and the requirements of the Eighth Route Army headquarters, Sun Weimin first formed a new corps.From the people affected by the disaster and the puppet troops captured, select some fighters who can endure hardship, and then try to expand slowly.

The guerrilla detachment of the New Fourth Army, which was the first to cooperate with Hu Biao, was naturally greatly improved after joining the main regiment sent by the military department.Coupled with the fact that there is no shortage of weapons and ammunition supplies, the size of its troops has surpassed that of the Independent Regiment.

It can be said that after this series of battles, the participating troops have shared the benefits.Correspondingly, Hu Biao has also benefited a lot.The rescue team located in northern Anhui also began to expand according to Hu Biao's order.

Rescue teams that were mostly company-level units in the early days have now been expanded into battalion-level combat units.However, according to Hu Biao's combat order, the entire battalion is not allowed to fight without the permission of the superior.Low-key dormancy is what the rescue camp should do.

After leaving Bengbu, the task force still used the reconnaissance unit as the vanguard, and the follow-up troops were broken up into pieces and began to infiltrate the territory of Suzhou.At the moment, in Suzhou, there is also a lot of jitters caused by the Malingshan Assault Battalion.

The infantry brigade, which originally carried out the mopping mission, learned that the infantry regiment dispatched was wiped out. In order to ensure the safety of the railways in the country, they could only increase their troops on the railways.In addition, set up checkpoints on some important highways.

From the perspective of the Japanese army, if a large number of troops really infiltrated the territory of Suzhou, their whereabouts would be exposed.It is a pity that the scale of the sabotage force was not large, and it was hidden in a safe base, so it was naturally difficult for the Japanese army to find their whereabouts.

In addition, Hu Biao had suggested earlier that the Fifth Theater should start dispatching troops to Huaibei. The Japanese army who heard the news naturally worried that Huaibei would be captured.The troops assembled in Suzhou earlier were soon dispatched out one after another.

What makes the head of the infantry brigade even more helpless is that Xuzhou is worried about being raided and has ordered him to transfer an infantry regiment back to Xuzhou.As a result, the mobilization of troops to Suzhou to carry out the mopping up plan in northern Anhui was immediately declared fruitless.

Even if the battle starts again, it will not start until the main force of the applied division arrives.Now that the railway has been destroyed, the Japanese army has to transfer a division of troops from other places, and the time it will take can be imagined.

Although the Japanese army has begun to publicize its victory in the Wuhan Battle, some Japanese generals who know about the battle have already felt tremendous pressure.In addition to the shortage of soldiers, the Japanese army was overwhelmed by the sharp increase in material consumption.

While requiring the garrison troops to maintain local stability, the Japanese army also needs time to adjust and raise more combat supplies to cope with the national army's counterattack.This also means that waiting for the requested reinforcements to arrive may be difficult in a short time.

When Hu Biao arrived at the border area between Suzhou and Xuzhou, he looked at the officers and soldiers of the commando battalion who had been on standby in the rescue team camp for many days, and shook hands happily one by one and said, "Thanks for your hard work!"

"Thank you, sir! Your hard work, sir!"

Today, Hu Biao's identity seems to change every time.There are more and more combat troops under his command, and the troops under his command are naturally also increasing.But from the beginning to the end, Hu Biao did not give the troops an official designation.

Titles such as captain, brigade captain, and detachment captain seem to be inappropriate for Hu Biao.Even if some of his subordinates knew about Hu Biao's promotion to general, Hu Biao still didn't want his subordinates to call him general. The title of officer was barely appropriate!

The assault battalion ordered from Maling Mountain were all prisoners of war rescued by Hu Biao in Lu Province earlier.After staying in Maling Mountain for training, these prisoners of war also have deep feelings for Hu Biao.Many prisoners of war felt that Hu Biao was worth following.

Looking at these old subordinates whom he hadn't seen for a while, Hu Biao also said happily: "Brothers, we haven't seen each other for a while since we parted last year. Today's reunion is worth celebrating.
