Ma Ping'an is worthy of being a person of Dragon Boat Festival. After only one day of walking, he rode a fast horse back at night.

When Ma Ping'an arrived at the Dragon Boat Festival command center, he felt a little exhausted. The Dragon Boat Festival gave Ma Ping'an a bowl of water and asked the old abacus to make some porridge. Because he seemed to have not eaten for a day.

Ma Ping'an drank three bowls of water in a row, then he gasped and said to the Dragon Boat Festival: "Brothers of Dragon Boat Festival, although the Japanese did not launch an attack, they have begun to actively prepare for the war.

In the southeast direction of ours, the entire 26th Brigade of the 13th Division of the Japanese Army.

Most of the 26th Brigade of the Japanese were in Chuzhou, but there was an infantry corps and an artillery brigade in Lai'an County.

In Sanjia Town, 80 kilometers south of Dingyuan County, in addition to the 150th Regiment of the 114th Division and the 39th Infantry Regiment of the 10th Division, another 40th Regiment that had just been restored was added.

Didn’t you crippled this 40th Regiment last time? The Japanese devils drew troops from somewhere to supplement them, and they were composed of at least two infantry brigades. Therefore, the total Japanese army in Sanjia Town had less than 10,000 people, and there was also an artillery brigade stationed in the city.

And the Japanese army also appeared in the southeast of Changfeng County. The news that came back was part of the 10th Japanese Division, and the specific number was unknown. I guess they should be used to clamp down the 31st Army. It seems that this will be a big battle!"

Dragon Boat Festival laughed and said, "Of course, this will be a battle that is no less than the Battle of Shanghai and the Battle of Nanjing."

By the way, Lao Ma, what is the situation with the Japanese in An County? How much information do you have in the 26th Brigade in Chuzhou?"

Ma Ping'an was surprised: "Brother Dragon Boat Festival, what do you ask Chuzhou for? In my opinion, if you really want to fight the Japanese artillery, it is better for Sanjia Town. Although Sanjia Town has a large number of Japanese soldiers, it is better than Chuzhou, right? Chuzhou has a brigade of Japanese soldiers. Once you attack Lai'an County, Chuzhou will reinforce the Japanese. Even if you transfer the entire 51st Army, you will not be able to take any advantage?

What's more, Chuzhou and Laian County are nearly 150 kilometers away from Bengbu, while Sanjia Town is only 80 kilometers away from Bengbu?

Brother, I would like to say more. With your ability, the 51st Army, and our Eighth Route Army, it is not impossible to fight a beautiful encirclement and annihilation battle?"

Dragon Boat Festival smiled slightly and took out a military map from the side. Many of the maps were Japanese characters. Obviously, this was a military map seized from the Japanese.

When the Dragon Boat Festival pointed at Sanjia Town, he said, "Lao Ma, you see, although these three towns are only 80 kilometers away from Dingyuan County, it is about 100 kilometers away from Bengbu to Sanjia Town.

Look at these three towns, where 10,000 troops are stationed. How can such a small town be equipped with 10,000 people?

Moreover, Sanjia Town is only 80 kilometers away from Dingyuan County. Are the Japanese really not afraid of me and the 51st Army's surprise attack?"

Ma Ping'an still said in confusion: "Brother Dragon Boat Festival, how many Japanese are there in these three towns?"

The Dragon Boat Festival said: "There are so many. There are two divisions of Japanese troops gathered here, the 114th Division and the 10th Division.

The 114th Division was originally a border defense force, and most of their people were in Anhui. What about the 10th Division? It was temporarily transferred by the Japanese to deal with me.

And you tell me that the 10th Division of the Japanese army appeared near Changfeng County. So is it possible that the remaining troops of the 10th Division of the Japanese army are also moving on the front line of Sanjia Town? They even set up a pocket array in Sanjia Town waiting for us.

We can imagine that the Japanese in Sanjia Town said that there were not many more, and that there were not many less, about ten thousand people. From the previous 150th Regiment to the 39th Regiment, another 40th Regiment, which had just recovered its number, was added.

What would ordinary people think? A group of defeated generals, the 150th and 39th, were just defeated by us, and the 40th registrar has just recovered the number, so it is possible that they are all new recruits.

This is very confusing. Sanjia Town gives people the feeling that the Japanese think Sanjia Town has weak military strength and are afraid that we will eat it in one bite, so they immediately replenished an infantry corps and strengthened their defense.

But in fact, this is a trap.

The Japanese pretended to behave and deliberately showed us that Sanjia Town had increased its defense, and there was only about one thousand troops.

Because according to my personality, I will definitely not take these more than 10,000 Japanese devils seriously. What's more, they are so close to Dingyuan County? If I march in a hurry, I will be able to put the bayonet on his Japanese devils' nose one day.

So since the Japanese have calculated this point, they will never be unprepared. If I guess correctly, the 10th Division of the Japanese army, including the 39th and 40th regiments, had at least one brigade ambushed in Sanjia Town, waiting for me to fall into the trap!"

Ma Ping'an suddenly realized: "It's so dangerous. If we fight according to the existing information, we may have to fall into the trap."

The Dragon Boat Festival said: "The Japanese are getting smarter and smarter the more they fight. However, they certainly would not have thought that I would go far to fight An County.

First, Chuzhou is far away from Bengbu, and even if it is a rush, it will take two days for the troops to arrive in Chuzhou.

Second, Chuzhou is a brigade. Even if the entire 51st Army, my independent regiment, and the 522nd Regiment of Zhou Weiguo have all gone, some of them will fight. After all, the 51st Army still needs to be defended and it is impossible for them to come out in full swing.

Therefore, the Japanese who came to An County would never have thought that we would hit him. We had at least 80% chance of success, and we could also ambush the Japanese so that the Japanese could know that their little cleverness was not the case in front of my Dragon Boat Festival.”

Ma Ping'an listened to the tactical analysis of Dragon Boat Festival and was excited. But he still said with some concern: "I have believed in the ability of Dragon Boat Festival brothers, but there are so many Japanese, you have to need a lot of troops!

Moreover, if the 51st Army draws a large number of troops, the Japanese may notice that after all, there are spies from the Japanese outside the city. No one can tell whether there are spies from the Japanese outside. I am afraid that when we are dispatching troops, the Japanese have already guessed that you will be able to attack Chuzhou, so they will open their pocket formations there to wait for you."

The Dragon Boat Festival said: "It doesn't matter. I don't know how to use any of the 51st Army people. I only take my spy battalions, including the two battalions of the 522nd Regiment of Zhou Weiguo. After I succeed, I will call on the 51st Army in Mingguang to cooperate, and add an independent regiment to support it, which is enough.

What I want to know now is the number, member composition, etc. of the Japanese stationed in Chuzhou and Lai'an County, the more detailed the better."

"This is no problem, it's just that I need a radio station to contact our comrades."

Ma Ping'an expressed his request, and Dragon Boat Festival shouted disdainfully: "Old abacus went to the warehouse to move ten radio stations, so that Lao Ma could pick it up! Hahaha!"
