Chapter 220
"You're thinking too simple." Xu Shijiu shook his head.
As the same goes, the little Japanese did not have many troops at each point, but the mobility they left was enough. Except for southern Anhui, in other regions, the mobility left by the little Japanese was enough to crush any resistance armed forces in the area. In southern Anhui, although the little Japanese's mobility was not enough to crush the anti-Japanese and national salvation army in southern Anhui, it was not difficult to block the attack of the anti-Japanese and national salvation army in southern Anhui, because the Japanese-occupied area in southern Anhui was close to the Yangtze River channel and could receive support from the navy.
The navy has always been the weakness of the Chinese and has always been the biggest threat to the national army.
"Look at this place." Xu Shijiu pointed to the map and said to Gao Shenxing, "Wuhu."
Gao Shenxing frowned and asked, "It seems that there are not many Japanese in Wuhu, right? Unless reinforcements are sent from Nanjing."
Xu Shijiu shook his head again and said, "The Japanese army in Nanjing may not come. Although there are not many Japanese troops in Wuhu, it is not difficult to transfer a few gunboats over. Just two gunboats are enough to control the entire dock. It is impossible for the American-British Tobacco Company to hand over the materials to Zihan."
"Gunboat?" Gao Shenxing's expression changed slightly. He had just fallen into a fixed mindset. He only thought that if the Japanese army wanted to protect Tongling County, they had to transfer infantry. However, they did not expect that Tongling County was next to the Yangtze River. The little Japanese only needed to dispatch one gunboat, which was enough to control the entire dock. After all, the anti-Japanese and national salvation army in southern Anhui had no firepower to deal with the little Japanese gunboat.
Although Duzi brought two artillery companies, even the 1992 infantry cannons could not threaten the gunboat, because the 1992 infantry cannons can only fire grenades and are difficult to penetrate the gunboat armor. If it cannot penetrate the armor, it is difficult to cause fatal damage. The machine guns and naval guns on the small Japanese gunboats can pose a fatal threat to the artillery on the cliff.
In short, the firepower level and armor cover of both sides are not above the same level.
"What should we do?" Gao Shenxing was anxious and said, "It seems that there are Japanese navy stationed in Chizhou City, and there seem to be several gunboats stationed all year round. As long as there are Japanese gunboats, even if we attack Chizhou City, we cannot control the dock. The merchant ships of the American-British Tobacco Company still cannot deliver supplies to us. If you have a long time to make a fuss, will this battle be fought in vain?"
"That may not be." Xu Shijiu said with a smile.
"Huh?" Gao Shenxing said in surprise, "Old Xu, do you have a backup plan?"
"You." Xu Shijiu smiled and pointed at Gao Shenxing, saying, "I just overcame a fixed mindset and immediately fell into another fixed mindset. Do I have to deliver the materials at the dock? If the materials must be delivered at the dock, how did the materials purchased from Shanghai in the past be delivered?"
"Oh, look at me, I'm so anxious." Gao Shenxing also smiled.
Xu Shijiu said again: "This spring offensive will certainly be good to take Tongling or Chizhou Wharf. Even if you can't take it down, you must mobilize all the small Japanese in southern Anhui, especially the gunboats of the Japanese Navy. They must be dragged into a melee, so that the merchant ships of the US-British Tobacco Company have the opportunity to deliver the supplies to us smoothly."
Shu Tongwen next to him added: "Lao Gao, the Southern Anhui Provincial Party Committee has instructed Tongling. The comrades of the Chizhou County Party Committee mobilized the people to collect hundreds of large and small ships in Liaojiawan. If necessary, the merchant ship of the American-British Tobacco Company could completely transfer materials to Liaojiawan. At that time, even if the Japanese reacted, it would be too late."
Xu Shijiu said again: "Successfully receiving the materials consigned by the US-British Tobacco Company is of course the main purpose of this spring offensive, but if we have the opportunity, we still have to bite the little Japanese."

Although the 56th Independent Infantry Team was slow to advance, it was still moving forward continuously.
The battle situation in Tongling was also sent to Haneda through telegrams. The loss of the fortifications of the Tongling County City Fortifications did not make Haneda too worried, because although the Tongling City Wall was lost, the Japanese army in Tongling did not suffer much losses. Relying on the solid courtyard stationed by the military police, it could be maintained for a while.
In addition, the naval team stationed in Wuhu has set off and is rushing towards Tongling overnight.
As long as the navy stationed in Wuhu can arrive in time, even if it cannot retake Tongling County, it will not be difficult to control Tongling Wharf.
Calculate the time, the merchant ship of the US-British Tobacco Company is almost time to arrive in Tongling tomorrow morning. If the Americans want to hand over the batch of supplies to the southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army at Tongling Wharf, it was a delusion. Obviously, the old Japanese devil in Haneda also fell into a fixed mindset, believing that the delivery of supplies must be carried out on the wharf.
Haneda is not worried about the battle situation in Tongling, but is very worried about the situation in Chizhou.
Because of fear that Chizhou would be attacked, Haneda did not even ask the navy stationed in Chizhou to send gunboats to Tongling.
Haneda returned from the dark night in front of him and turned around to ask the adjutant: "Sang Inoue, is there anything unusual in Chizhou?"
Adjutant Shun Inoue shook his head and said, "Children, there is nothing abnormal in Chishu, at least not so far."
"Is that true?" Haneda frowned, but the uneasiness in her heart became even stronger.

"Hurry, hurry up, fuck you." Wei Guoqiang suppressed his voice and called on the team members behind him to follow him.
After nightfall, Chizhou City was in martial law. Now there are Japanese and puppet army posters everywhere on the street. Each of them is responsible for patroling the Japanese and puppet army patrols. Just now, a team member kicked over a clay pot because of carelessness, and almost made the Japanese patrol team discover Xingzang, which made Wei Guoqiang angry enough.
As the captain of the Chizhou Rangers, Wei Guoqiang has enough understanding of the Yinwei in the upper class of the Military Control Commission.
The relationship between the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui was very bad. Chairman Jiang and Gu Zhutong, commander-in-chief of the Third War Zone, looked at Xu Shijiu, commander of the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui. Logically speaking, the military commander of the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army should not cooperate with the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui to attack Chizhou. Even if Ye Ruxue issued an order as the stationmaster of the Military Control Commission stationed in Longkou, Wei Guoqiang had enough reason to refuse.
However, if this order was issued by the Military Control Commission Shanghai Station, it would be a different matter. Obviously, there is an inside story that Wei Guoqiang didn't know. In short, just half an hour ago, Wei Guoqiang received an order issued by the Military Control Commission Shanghai Station, ordering the Chizhou Rangers to cooperate with the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui to capture Chizhou City.
The order Ye Ruxue gave to the Rangers was to cooperate with the southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army to attack the South Gate.
Although the military commander Chizhou Rangers had only more than 20 people, their equipment was not bad. In addition to the ones who had a slept flower mechanism, each of them also had eight national grenades. In unexpected situations, for example, when the fortifications at the southern gate of Chizhou were attacked, such an assault force suddenly emerged from behind, which was still very threatening.
As soon as the south gate was approaching, the Japanese and puppet troops' sentries became increasingly dense.
Wei Guoqiang led more than 20 team members into a deep alley. The Military Control Commission had several strongholds in Chizhou City. One of the secret strongholds was hidden deep in this alley. After entering the alley about fifty meters deep, Old Man Tang greeted him from a house and brought Wei Guoqiang and more than 20 team members into the house.
In that house, Wei Guoqiang saw Ye Ruxue fully armed.
In addition to Ye Ruxue, Wei Guoqiang also saw Li Mu and his 5th team.
Although Wei Guoqiang had not been in Longkou for a long time, he was well aware of Li Mu and his 5th Battalion. It was impossible for the Military Control Commission to not pay attention to an elite unit like the 5th Battalion that made Japanese people scared. In fact, Li Mu's resume had long been placed on the desk of Dai Li, the director of the Military Control Commission.
There was even a rumor that Dai Li was already considering buying Li Mu and the 5th Brigade.
However, Wei Guoqiang knew very well that Dai Li wanted to bribe Li Mu and the 5th Team, and was destined to be futile.
When Wei Guoqiang looked at Li Mu, Li Mu was also looking at Wei Guoqiang up and down unscrupulously. To be honest, Li Mu did not take Wei Guoqiang and his Rangers seriously from the bottom of his bones. Although the Rangers were well equipped, no matter how good the equipment was, it depends on whoever was. If it was replaced by the 5th brigade, even if he held a dagger, no one would dare to take it lightly.
Ye Ruxue looked at her watch and asked, "Captain Guard, why are you here now?"
Wei Guoqiang smiled bitterly and explained in a low voice: "There are small Japanese posts everywhere on the street and patrol teams, which is very inconvenient to move."
