Yanke, the temporary command of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui.

Xu Shijiu looked at the map in a flash, and the expression on his face seemed a little solemn.

Although the entire plan is intact, Xu Shijiu is inevitably a little nervous, nothing else, because for the southern Anhui Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army, this is a battle that cannot be afforded. For the southern Anhui Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army, if this battle cannot be won, it will be a loss because it cannot win and cannot control Chizhou or Tongling. The military supplies purchased from Shanghai were unable to go ashore. This means that the southern Anhui Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army will eventually gain nothing.

In contrast, what Xu Shijiu is most worried about is the performance of the 3rd Regiment of the Southern Anhui Detachment.

The 3rd Regiment of the Southern Anhui Detachment was just formed, with fewer troops, poor equipment, and poor combat effectiveness. Originally, this was just a partial division used to bluff, and Xu Shijiu did not want them to fight a tough battle at all. However, the old Japanese devil suddenly led the main force of the Japanese army in Chizhou to Tongling, but directly pushed the 3rd Regiment to the storm of the wind.

If the 3rd Regiment was defeated by the Japanese army too soon, with the suspicious character of the old Haneda Japanese, he might be suspicious again.

Shu Tongwen was also worried about the performance of the 3rd Regiment and wanted to draw one regiment from other fronts to share the pressure for the 3rd Regiment. Unfortunately, the other two main regiments could not be transferred, and they had tasks to talk about it. To launch such a large-scale offensive operation, the strength of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui was still too weak, and the Southern Anhui Detachment was still stretched.

At present, the anti-Japanese and national salvation army in southern Anhui has used up enough troops, and the 19th Detachment is the main attack. In addition to Li Shuangqin's regiment failing, even Yang Dashu's guard battalion has been transferred to the front line of Chizhou. As for the New Fourth Army's southern Anhui detachment, it is necessary to block the Japanese reinforcements in the north of Jiangbei, and to restrain the Japanese army in Anqing, and to block Chizhou's reinforcements in Tongling County. The forces of the three regiments are already very bare, so how can there be more troops to strengthen the 3rd Regiment of Zhao Laomao?

Gao Shenxing was also worried that the 3rd Regiment of the Southern Anhui Detachment could not bear it, so he advised Xu Shijiu: "Old Xu, the regiment's 1 battalion is now stationed at the junction of Qingyang County and Jing County. This battalion was originally used to guard against the National Army of Jing County. It is only more than fifty miles away from the blocking position of the 3rd Regiment of the Southern Anhui Detachment. It can arrive in more than two hours of marching. Why don't this battalion be transferred?"

"No." Xu Shijiu refused flatly. The regiment 1 battalion was responsible for controlling the national army in Jingxian County. Once the battalion was transferred to Xiaofangshan, the entire east gate of Longkou would be completely open to the national army in the third war zone. With the greedy nature of Gu Zhutong and Shangguan Yunxiang, they would never miss this opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

In a word, Xu Shijiu's letter is nothing but Gu Zhutong and Shangguan Yunxiang's character.

Gao Shenxing actually didn't believe in Gu Zhutong and Shangguan Yunxiang's character, so he sighed: "Then I can only rely on Zhao Laomao's third regiment. I hope Lao Zhao will not let us down."

Xu Shijiu turned around and looked at Shu Tongwen, but he stopped talking.

Shu Tongwen certainly knew what Xu Shijiu wanted to say, and said excitedly: "Captain, I can't guarantee anything else, but I can guarantee my party spirit. The 3rd Regiment will never insult the reputation of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui.

As soon as Shu Tongwen finished speaking, the guard battalion commander Wang Xiaomao walked in and said to Shu Tongwen with a serious expression: "Captain, I just received the news from a friendly army that the entire 3rd regiment has died for the country."

"What, the whole group died for the country?" Shu Tongwen felt like he was eaten by thunder.

To be honest, Shu Tongwen thought that the third group would be very brave, but never thought that it would be so brave.

Gao Shenxing, Niu Sigen and others also looked at each other. They never thought that a newly formed army had such strong combat power, and they really underestimated Awen before.

Xu Shijiu was also in a state of erection and said in a deep voice: "The brothers in the third regiment are all good."

Then, Xu Shijiu turned around and looked at Shu Tongwen and said solemnly: "Awen, I apologize to you for the suspected combat effectiveness of the 3rd Regiment just now. I want to apologize to all the officers and soldiers of the 3rd Regiment."

After saying that, Xu Shijiu turned around and bowed deeply towards Xiao Fangshan.

After bowing, Xu Shijiu stood up again and asked Wang Xiaomao: "Xiaomao, where has the Japanese troops in Chizhou arrived now

Zhao Laomao's 3rd Regiment performed so bravely in Xiaofangshan. The Haneda Japanese devils were suspicious. At this moment, they should believe that the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui took Tongling as the main attack direction. Now, he has probably already led the main force of the Japanese army in Chizhou to Tongling. Next, it depends on the performance of Li Zihan's 1st Regiment to see whether they have the ability to drag the main force of the Japanese army in Chizhou into Tongling County.

"No, the Japanese army in Chizhou is still near Xiaofangshan." However, Wang Xiaomao's next words made Xu Shijiu almost unable to believe his ears.

"What, the Japanese army in Chizhou is still near Xiaofangshan?" Xu Shijiu said in a lost voice, "How is this possible?"

"Commander, that's how it is." Wang Xiaomao explained, "When the 3rd Regiment was fighting fiercely with the Japanese army in Chizhou, the 40th Division of the National Army had already built a defense line on the right side of Xiaofangshan. Now the 40th Division has already engaged in fire with the Japanese army in Chizhou."

"40th Division? Chen Shizhang's troops?" Xu Shijiu smiled in a daze and said, "How could this happen?"

Gao Shenxing, Shu Tongwen, Niu Sigen and others looked at each other in an instant. They had made great calculations but they didn't think that Huang Baitao and Chen Shizhang would come in. Huang Baitao and Chen Shizhang were probably kind-hearted, but they blocked the Japanese army's main force in Chizhou west of Xiaofangshan, which directly disrupted the deployment of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui.

Because the main force of the Japanese army in Chizhou has not yet penetrated into Tongling County, Li Zihan's 1st regiment and the cavalry battalion have great skills, and it is impossible to hold back the main force of the Japanese army in Chizhou. If the main force of the Japanese army in Chizhou cannot be held back, then Chizhou can be said to have no chance of winning, and the situation has become complicated.

"It seems that Huang Baitao is different from Zhang Wenqing. Huang Baitao is still a man." Gao Shenxing smiled bitterly, "However, his kindness has caused us a lot of trouble, which is a headache."

Xu Shijiu nodded and continued: "In fact, most generals of the national army are still willing to fight against Japan, such as Han Deqin, Zhu Huaibing, Shangguan Yunxiang, etc., are only a few after all."

"Well, I admit this." Gao Shenxing agreed deeply.

If others don’t say it, just say Feng Shengfa, the teacher of the 58th Division, and Wang Yaowu, the commander of the 74th Army, they are all famous men. The Sino-Japanese War has broken out to the present, and there are also senior generals like Wang Mingzhang, Rao Guohua, and Xiao Shanling who died heroically. And these are not one or two, but a large number of people.

It is precisely because of these people that China has persisted until now that the country has not yet been destroyed.

Xu Shijiu said again: "When this battle is over, I must go to Jingxian to meet Huang Baitao."

However, before Xu Shijiu finished speaking, guard Liu Dagutou hurried in and reported that a regiment of the 1st Division had appeared at the junction of Yi County and Longkou County, and his motive was unknown.

"The 19th Pei? Tao Guang's troops?" Gao Shenxing frowned.

"Tao Guang's tendency to make progress is obvious, and his relationship with our party has always been good. It shouldn't be said." Shu Tongwen was also quite confused.

"You probably don't know yet. Tao Guang has been promoted to the position of Lieutenant General of the Third War Zone Chief. Although he still serves as the commander of the P Army, he has lost control of the P Army." Xu Shijiu has the intelligence of the Military Control Commission to support him, so he knows that some unknown inside stories between Tao Guang and Shangguan Yunxiang, Gu Zhutong and Chairman Jiang.

"No wonder." Gao Shenxing suddenly realized and said in a deep voice, "Shangguan Yunxiang, this dog, really remember to eat or beat him."

Shu Tongwen also said: "Fortunately, the captain did not transfer Lao Li's regiment to the front line, otherwise, the current situation would have been passive."

Xu Shijiu nodded and ordered Liu Dagutou to say, "Dagutou, send someone back to tell Lao Li and tell him that if 19 Pei just stayed at the junction of the two counties, it would be fine if he didn't step into the dragon's mouth. If he dared to step into the dragon's mouth half a step, he would beat me hard. If Shangguan Yunxiang doesn't hurt him, he may not have a memory."

Gao Shenxing added: "Old Xu, it's better to send a telegram to Shangguan Yunxiang directly and warn him."

Shu Tongwen echoed: "I agree with Lao Gao's opinion, but you should pay attention to the wording. Try not to stimulate Shangguan Yunxiang. You should put pressure on Shangguan Yunxiang from a political perspective. After the last Anhui Incident, Chairman Jiang has publicly expressed his attitude and will no longer provoke friction between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party in the future. Shangguan Yunxiang may not dare to provoke trouble easily."

"Yes." Xu Shijiu also felt it made sense, so he immediately called a staff officer and arranged to send a telegram to Shangguan Yunxiang.

In theory, Shangguan Yunxiang is the commander-in-chief of the group army. As a subordinate chief, Xu Shijiu sent him a telegram, at least he had to personally draft a telegram to show respect for Shangguan Yunxiang. However, Xu Shijiu always hated contact with people like Shangguan Yunxiang, and would not be more serious about Shangguan Yun, so he didn't care about these things.

Xu Shijiu didn't even buy Gu Zhutong's face, let alone Shangguan Yunxiang? He was too lazy to worry about writing words and writing a telegram, so he directly handed the task to the staff office, and then pulled Shu Tongwen, Gao Shenxing, Niu Sigen and others to gather in front of the map and started an emergency war chess deduction.
