Chapter 228
"Ha." Peng Wu whipped the horse's thighs hard. The war horse under his crotch raised his head and neighed sadly, and began to enter the rapid sprint. Four iron hooves as big as bowls fell heavily. A string of horse's hoof prints suddenly flowed down the hard sandy road, and even rolling smoke and dust gradually rose from behind the horse's butt.
The running "olong" is like a gust of wind rushing forward from the road.
But Peng Wu still thought the "obed" was running too slowly, so he used a horse whip to thrust the "obed" horse stocks again and again.
Usually, Peng Wu is reluctant to use a horse whip to slap "后" and Peng Wu is even more precious than his wife for his war horse. Peng Wu, the new wife whom Peng Wu just married last year, has lost his temper with Peng Wu more than once: Peng Wu of Donkey Day, please live with your "后" and I will not serve you anymore.
But today, the "missing" horse stocks have been scattered by Peng Wu.
The military situation was urgent, so Peng Wu could not help but feel sorry for his "mistakes". Because Xu Shijiu gave him a death order, he had to arrive at Niu Touzui before noon and decisively prevent the generals of Chen Shizhang's 40th Division from transporting away the supplies. Peng Wu didn't know why the so-called military supplies suddenly appeared in the small fishing village of Niu Touzui. He only knew that Xu Shijiu gave the death order to the cavalry battalion.
"Ha" Peng Wu whipped the horse's stock again with another whip. The "Oulong" raised his head and his wits again, miraculously increasing the speed again. It was like a black lightning, and it passed the ridge in front of him in the blink of an eye.
A moment later, when Peng Wu came, the hooves were loud, and a large group of cavalry came roaring over.
Besides, Peng Wu, crossing the ridge, he was facing a warning sign set up by the 40th Division here.
The guarding of this checkpoint was a squad of the 118th Regiment of the 40th Division. When he saw a cavalry wearing a New Fourth Army uniform coming by, the dozen national troops guarding the checkpoint immediately became alert. The leading squad leader even raised his rifle directly and pointed the muzzle at the New Fourth Army galloping forward, shouting loudly: "Stop, stop, stop, if you don't stop, we will shoot."
Behind the National Army squad leader, more than a dozen big-headed soldiers also raised the Hanyang-making rifles in their hands.
However, the New Fourth Army galloping ahead ignored them at all and still galloped towards the Pegasus. The National Army squad leader raised the gun slightly, fired a shot into the sky, and fired a warning. However, the New Fourth Army opposite ignored them and just hid their bodies on the side of the war horse to reduce the area of the bullet.
The squad leader of the National Army was a little dumbfounded. Is the New Fourth Army crazy?
However, he didn't dare to let the platoon leader shoot. It was an extraordinary time now. Moreover, although the New Fourth Army on the opposite side was coming in full force, he did not show his sabre in the end. This means that he was not here to fight. However, there was an order to go up the peak and strictly block the nearby passages. If the New Fourth Army rushed over, he might not have the fruit of his.
For a moment, the squad leader of the Kuomintang was in a dilemma. He shot or didn’t shoot?
A dozen big-headed soldiers looked at me, and I looked at you, and looked at each other and were at a loss.
Just as the national army squad leader and a dozen big-headed soldiers were hesitating, the New Fourth Army that was galloping by, and the strong wind brought by the gallop of the war horses even brought a thin new recruit egg directly to the ground. Then, before the new recruit egg egg got up, a faint thunder sound came from behind the ridge where the New Fourth Army came.
"This is..." The National Army squad leader and more than a dozen big-headed soldiers looked at each other.
Thunder? Looking up at the sky, where is the thunder sound coming from in the blue sky and the sun?
The next moment, the black cavalry had emerged from behind the ridge and roared towards their wardrobe.
The squad leader of the National Army made a rough estimate. Although the New Fourth Army cavalry emerged from the mountain ridge did not exceed 300 cavalry, it gave people the feeling that there were thousands of troops charging forward. The overwhelming power of the earth and shaking mountains really made people's souls tremble. Before the squad leader of the National Army gave orders, the dozen or so big-headed soldiers had instinctively avoided the roadside.
It was not until the cavalry of the New Fourth Army that the National Army had passed the checkpoint for a long time that the National Army squad leader finally realized and hurriedly called the fastest new recruit Danzi to the front and ordered him to report to the company commander. However, the National Army squad leader had a vague feeling that when the communications soldiers he sent arrived, the New Fourth Army cavalry would have arrived at Niu Touji long ago.

Huang Baitao stayed in Niu Tou Tu until noon. Chen Shizhang wanted to keep Huang Baitao for lunch at Niu Tou Tuu, but Huang Baitao politely refused. Huang Baitao had to rush back to the temporary command center and transfer the First Division and the 79th Division. Before, in order to avoid excessive stimulation of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui, Huang Baitao only dared to transfer the 40th Division to Tongling.
Now that the situation has become clear, there is no need to cover it up.
Huang Baitao doesn't think that Chen Shizhang's 40th Division alone can withstand the pressure of the anti-Japanese and national salvation army in southern Anhui and successfully transport this batch of military supplies back.
Even if the First Division and the 79th Division were transferred here in Jingxian, it might not be able to achieve its intention to deter the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui, but if the entire First Army was added, it would be different.
Therefore, Huang Baitao had to hurry back to the military headquarters located in Maolin.
However, Huang Baitao walked to the village entrance surrounded by Chen Shizhang and several senior officers of the 40th Division. Before he could get on his horse, a horse galloped on the road ahead.
"Is this?" The galloping knight attracted everyone's attention in an instant.
When Chen Shizhang and several senior officers of the 40th Division turned their heads one after another, the speeding knights were less than 100 meters away from the checkpoint of the 40th Division Guard Battalion at the entrance of Niutouzui Village. Huang Baitao, Chen Shizhang and the senior officers of the 40th Division could already see clearly that a cavalry from the New Fourth Army was coming because he was wearing the off-white uniform of the New Fourth Army.
The next moment, the black cavalry emerged from the horizon in the distance.
Huang Baitao's face changed drastically. New Fourth Army? Do you also want to get in?

Haneda stood on the top of the city, watching the various units of the southern Anhui Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army retreat alternately from outside the city.
The retreat of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui seemed very calm, and whether it was the machine gun fire setting of the cover force or the organization and dispatch of the retreat force, it seemed to be orderly. Obviously, this is a well-trained and extremely strong psychological quality. To put it more bluntly, they were not afraid of the Japanese army going out of the city to pursue the attack.
Haneda must admit that he really lacks the courage to pursue.
Whether it was the military police brigade stationed in Chizhou or the 56th Independent Infantry Battalion in Yamamoto, even though it was not as afraid of it as a tiger when facing the anti-Japanese and national salvation army in southern Anhui, it was certain that it was psychologically disadvantageous. The battle of Hulugu helped the anti-Japanese and national salvation army in southern Anhui to establish confidence in the face of the Japanese army, but the Japanese army seemed to be lacking in confidence after that battle.
Major Yamamoto, the captain of the 56th Battalion of the Independent Infantry, also did not dare to take the initiative.
Holding Duo's hand, Yamamoto asked: "Colonel, when will the reinforcements from Hefei and Jiujiang arrive?
Haneda replied: "The reinforcements from Jiujiang will arrive this evening, but Lord Zhongshan only sent an infantry brigade. As for the reinforcements from Hefei, Lord Ozaki just called. They were stubbornly blocked by the Third Detachment of the New Fourth Army in the middle and would not arrive until tomorrow. If the progress is not smooth, it will probably be delayed until three days later."
Yamamoto said dejectedly: "Your Excellency, Shu Beizhi said bluntly that before the Jiujiang reinforcements or Hefei reinforcements arrived, we might not be able to launch a counterattack on Tongling. We would be unable to help the matter of assisting Jisifei No. 76 in intercepting military supplies."
Haneda also sighed: "However, if this batch of military supplies really fall into the hands of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui, Xu Shijiu, the tiger in southern Anhui will be even more like a tiger. The situation in southern Anhui will be even worse in the future.
Yamamoto was also silent, and after a while, he said: "Now, he can only hope that the Commander can win the Second Changsha Battle as soon as possible, and then he can free up his hands to deal with Xu Shijiu."
"The Second Battle of Changsha?" Haneda shook her head. Haneda was not optimistic about the newly appointed commander of the ll army, Anan Weiji. He was not optimistic about the prospects of the second Battle of Changsha. However, if the Second Battle of Changsha still ended in failure, the Japanese army in China would probably not be able to draw troops to deal with Xu Shijiu.
Haneda and Yamamoto didn't know that the fighter plane had appeared unknowingly.
