The telegram drafted by the General Staff Office of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in Southern Anhui was soon sent to the Army Command.

After reading the telegram, Shangguan Yunxiang was immediately angry and his face turned pale. In fact, the wording of the telegram drafted by the Staff Office of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in Southern Anhui was considered very gentle, but no matter how gentle the wording was, it could not avoid the fact that Xu Shijiu warned Shangguan Yunxiang. How could Shangguan Yunxiang, as the commander-in-chief of a group of troops, bear this? If he was not angry, it would be a ghost.

However, no matter how angry he was, Shangguan Yunxiang still sent an emergency telegram to 19 Pei, ordering them to stop moving forward.

Obviously, Shangguan Yunxiang was also concerned. If 19 Pei entered Longkou County and Xu Shijiu made this matter directly into Chongqing through the Communist Party's hands, Chairman Jiang would probably not be able to hold on to the face. Especially now that the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui is launching a spring offensive, 19 Pei's robbery will easily give people unnecessary associations, believing that the Army is cooperating with the Japanese army's actions.

If this matter is exposed, it will be a big trouble. Not only will the Communist Party try every means to launch public opinion, but the ambassadors of Western countries in Chongqing will also come forward to put pressure on Chairman Chiang. Under the pressure of the ambassadors of Western countries in China, Chairman Chiang may scapegoat him Shangguan Yun, which would be too unfair.

Therefore, for the sake of the black hat on your head, don’t act rashly for the time being.

However, Shangguan Yunxiang obviously would not swallow this easily. He held the telegram in his hand. Shangguan Yunxiang looked at the direction of the dragon mouth and said gloomyly: "Xu Shijiu, wait for me, wait for you to be defeated by the little Japanese hands. Let me see how I deal with you. By then, I have to look good, hum."

Obviously, Shangguan Yunxiang is not optimistic about the spring offensive of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui.

Originally, the Third War Zone has more than 200,000 troops, and they dare not launch a large-scale offensive on the Japanese. If you only have one army, you dare to attack Chizhou, where the Japanese are heavily stationed? Isn’t that just seeking death? Wait, when the war is over, how many people can the southern Anhui Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army be left? Humph

(Split Line)

There are also Gu Zhutong, commander-in-chief of the Third War Zone, who has the same view as Shangguan Yun.

A few days ago, there was a rumor coming from Longkou, claiming that Xu Shijiu was going to attack Chizhou, but Gu Zhutong didn't believe it at all.

What is Chizhou? It is an important node on the Yangtze River channel. It is no exaggeration to say that it is a military fortress. It may not be able to defeat the 200,000 troops in the Third War Zone. It may not be possible to take it. A mere Anhui Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army wanted to take down Chizhou City. What if it was not a delusion? Xu Shijiu was really a toad yawning, and he was so angry.

Gu Zhutong's initial judgment was exactly the same as Huang Baitao, thinking that Xu Shijiu still wanted to divert the attention of Japan. On the surface, he wanted to attack Chizhou, but in fact he was attacking Tongling County. As for why he attacked Tongling, it was naturally to meet the batch of military supplies that just started from Shanghai yesterday. This batch of supplies not only had the equipment to build a small arsenal, but also had the full set of weapons and equipment to arm a B division.

Although this batch of weapons and equipment is not the most favored American equipment by Gu Zhutong, but only Japanese equipment, it is still of great importance for the current third war zone.

Therefore, Gu Zhutong also made up his mind to grab this batch of supplies.

Then, after receiving a secret telegram from Chen Gongshu, the stationmaster of the Military Control Commission Shanghai Station, Gu Zhutong was even more overjoyed. In addition to ordering Huang Baitao to draw a division from the P army to infiltrate Tongling, he also transferred Rongyu Division to Jingxian, preparing to respond to Huang Baitao's army when necessary.

In short, the Third War Zone has made all preparations to receive materials.

However, a telegram sent by Huang Baitao to the superior department made Gu Zhutong confused.

Until now, the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui has not increased its troops to Tongling. From the beginning to now, only Li Zihan is attacking Tongling County. Due to insufficient troops, Li Zihan's troops have not been able to open up the situation until now, and they have not even been able to break through the fortifications of Tongling. The battle situation is still in a stalemate.

This situation made Gu Zhutong very confused.

If Xu Shijiu had the idea of ​​fighting Tongling County at the beginning, this situation should never have happened. Taking advantage of Haneda's main force of the Japanese army was blocked by the 40th Division near Xiaofangshan, Xu Shijiu would not have mobilized troops to reinforce Li Zihan's troops, and wouldn't he have taken down Tongling County and then turned around to face Haneda's main force of the Japanese army?

Xu Shijiu was so slow and slow to react, which didn't look like his style.

Could it be that Xu Shijiu really wants to fight against Chizhou? This guy really dares to think, he really dares to think

Even though Haneda had already taken the main force of the Chizhou military police force and the 56th Independent Infantry Brigade, there was still a marine brigade of the Japanese Navy stationed at Chizhou Wharf. Moreover, Chizhou and Anqing were only a short distance away. Hefei and Jiujiang Japanese troops could also arrive in one day. If the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui could not take Chizhou in one day, the situation would be unimaginable.

However, is it possible for the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui to take down Chizhou within one day? Is it possible?

"Xu Shijiu, I'll see how you ended this time." Gu Zhutong took his eyes back from the big map on the wall, turned to the direction of the northwest dragon mouth and smiled in a dark and grim manner, and his face looked a little more ferocious.

Haneda held the saber pillar in front of her, and her expression on her face was so gloomy that it was almost scratching out the frost.

Finally, the southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, which relied on Xiao Fangshan to fight to the death, was defeated. However, it was less than five miles ahead and was stubbornly resisted by the Chinese army. What surprised Haneda's old devil was that this time it was not the southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, but the Central Army of the National Government. The number should be the 40th Division of the Army.

What's going on? More than two months ago, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party had just had a friction with each other? As the main participant in the Southern Anhui Incident, the 25th Army actually killed a lot of the New Fourth Army. However, the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in Southern Anhui was closely related to the New Fourth Army. Such two armies should have been incompatible, so how could they get involved?

Once the 40th Division is involved, it is not good news for the Japanese army.

Judging from the battle situation, the combat effectiveness of the 40th Division is not very strong, and it is not much stronger than the southern Anhui Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army that was defeated just now. However, the southern Anhui Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army that was annihilated just now has less than one regiment of troops, while the 40th Division has a total of six or seven thousand people. They rely on the road from Chizhou to Tongling, and have arranged more than twenty defense lines in front and back, and have forged defenses and resisted one after another, so it is still a headache.

Major Yamamoto, the captain of the 56th Battalion of the Independent Infantry, just sent someone to report that his vanguard team had already broken through the third line of defense of the 40th Division, but it was only the third line of defense. If you want to break through all twenty lines of defense, it should be dawn tomorrow. The question is, can the defenders of Tongling County still persist until dawn tomorrow?

Moreover, Haneda's most worried about is not Tongling, but Chizhou

Originally, Haneda wanted to resolve the Tongling crisis with thunder and then quickly return to defend Chizhou, but now, he was stubbornly blocked by the Chinese army halfway, and Tongling County was out of reach. If you return to defend Chizhou, you don’t know when it will be delayed. Once something happens to Chizhou at this time, you will be in a dilemma.

The only thing that is to be thankful is that nothing happened in Chizhou until now.
