Chapter 340: Battle of Yuxikou
"What's going on?" Shangguan Yunxiang frowned instantly. This was a very strange thing.
From Xuancheng to Nanling, it will take only half a day to get there. The New 38 Travel has been around for more than a day and hasn't been seen yet?
"Let the garrison of Nanling immediately search in the direction of Xuancheng." But if the new 38th Brigade and the troops directly under the Military Commission were lost, Shangguan Yunxiang would not be able to take advantage of it.
"yes!"
"Hey, pick me up Commander Gu."
"Is it Brother Ji Qing?"
"Brother Mo, something happened to me. The New 38th Brigade sent me a telegram yesterday that it had withdrawn from Xuancheng and was built soon, but I haven't seen a single figure yet. I think something is strange. I call you immediately. Is the new 38th Brigade the top to use it?"
"I haven't heard of it. Please wait a moment and I'll ask."
"The new 38th Brigade is missing, are you sure?" On the side of the Military Control Commission, Mao Qiwu also received an emergency message from his subordinate intelligence station. He immediately found his boss Dai Yunong.
Dai Yunong has always been elusive. No one knows where he is. Only a few confidants can contact him at any time.
Mao Qiwu is one of them.
"The third war zone has become chaotic. The new 38th Brigade is a unit directly under the Military Commission. If it disappears, the consequences will be unimaginable."
"Have they not contacted each other?" Dai Yunong frowned, "Does the New 38th Brigade not even have a radio station?"
"There is no response, now the Military Commission has already known the news."
"Then have you analyzed any possibility?"
"This..." Mao Qiwu opened his mouth in embarrassment.
"What do you say, what are you afraid of?"
"According to our analysis, if the New 38th Brigade did not appear in the Kuomintang-controlled area, it must have gone to the Japanese-occupied area." Mao Qiwu said solemnly.
"Are you talking nonsense? Could it be that the new 38th Brigade has rebelled and surrendered to the enemy?"
"Boss, don't worry, listen to me finish my words." Mao Qiwu hurriedly explained, "I mean, the New 38th Brigade may have hidden in the Japanese-occupied area to carry out important tasks. The previous evacuation action was just a cover to deceive the Japanese."
"You mean the New 38th Brigade sneaked into the Japanese-occupied area, but how did he hide it from the Japanese?" Dai Yunong said, "The New 38th Brigade is a team of thousands of people."
"Although I don't know what they want to do, if they really sneak into the Japanese-occupied area, there is still a way, such as hiking in the daytime and walking at night, not walking on highways and roads, or even pretending to be Japanese soldiers..."
Dai Yunong nodded. Other troops may not be able to do it. The new 38th Brigade is the old army of "Yasha" Leng Feng. Even if he didn't learn the essence, he could always do it.
"Boss, except for the new 38th Brigade, only the one from Nanjing can be transferred, but if the 38th Brigade is transferred to the 38th Brigade on the Peak, there will be a news, and at least hello to the third war zone. Even Chief Gu doesn't know about this. It's only..." Mao Qiwu looked at Dai Yunong's face and subconsciously closed his mouth. Ba.
Although the Military Control Commission is enough for just intelligence and has a lot of power, some people still have concerns about things. The King of Hell and the judge are incompetent, and the little devil is unable to get involved.
"Just understand this in your heart, just pretend we don't know about it." Dai Yunong warned.
"I understand, boss, I will continue to give instructions, no one is allowed to talk about this matter." Mao Qiwu said. "Then Chief Gu will definitely ask the attendant's room..."
"I will deal with this matter, so you don't have to worry about it." Dai Yunong said.
"yes!"
"My mother, what do you want to do with Leng Feng?" Old Jiang was really angry. He just won a battle and started to show his tail. Leng Feng's eyes still have him as the principal and the commander of the army?
"Sir, how do you reply from Chief Gu?" Lin Wei asked quietly.
"Just say I understand." Old Jiang thought for a while.
"Do you understand?" Lin Wei was stunned. What is this reply, but he has been with Jiang for so long. How could he not understand his personality? Leng Feng is a hero of anti-Japanese war, an anti-Japanese star, a good student and a favorite general of Jiang. At this time, if a scandal such as the disagreement of generals and generals broke out, it will not only have a blow to his prestige, but will also have an adverse impact on the situation of the war against Japan.
As the saying goes, family scandals should not be made public.
Besides, it is not the first time Leng Feng is doing it himself. As long as he can continue to win battles, Chiang Kai-shek can tolerate it.
Isn’t he just able to endure it to reach his current position?
This is actually an answer. The New 38th Brigade received the order from Chiang Kai-shek, and of course there was no need to pass the commander-in-chief of the Third War Zone. This style of commanding beyond the level is very similar to Chiang Kai-shek's usual style.
But this time I didn't even say hello, which was a bit abnormal.
Leng Feng didn't know that Lao Jiang took the blame for him. The new 38th Brigade was under his control. He did not need to greet anyone or ask for instructions at all when he mobilized the 38th Brigade. This was a normal thing.
But he ignored one thing. The New 38th Brigade was in the third war zone and was transferred away without saying a word. This was really unreasonable.
The New 38th Brigade marched at night and rested during the day. Before that, the North Detachment had already discovered the road, so they walked very smoothly.
The Japanese army was generally stationed in county towns and some major traffic jams, and had almost no control over the vast rural areas. Moreover, they did not occupy it for a long time, and with the cover of anti-Japanese guerrillas in the occupied areas, their actions became even more hidden.
Of course, some roads are about to rush, and the Japanese army set up checkpoints and the army detours, it will definitely waste time.
As a result, there were more incidents of guerrilla attacks on Japanese checkpoints.
Obviously, these situations were reported and did not receive attention from the Japanese army. They just treated them as small matters such as the anti-Japanese organization's attack signs and were directly handed over to the garrison troops to deal with.
The Japanese army could not have imagined that these checkpoint attacks had no special connection on the surface, and were not even on the same line. But in fact, the New 38th Brigade deliberately did it in order to open up a deliberately channel to the border of the Yangtze River.
They would not have thought of an army of thousands passing by quietly in their occupied areas.
"According to the speed of Brigade Commander Luo and his marching, we should be able to reach Cihu Town tonight."
"Didn't the Japanese army have any abnormal movements?"
"The Japanese army in Xuancheng will concentrate on Wuhu from today, and it is estimated that the Japanese army will cross the river north in the near future." Guo Weiquan reported.
"It seems that Hata Shunruo wove a big net for our Honorary Division, and wants to eat us in one bite." Qiu Qingquan walked over with a teacup and said.
"Hehe, I'm afraid that the net of Hata Shunruo was probably not knitted yet. We gave him a hole in it." Leng Feng sneered and clicked on Quanjiao's position.
"We can't wait for the Japanese army to tie our pockets one by one, right?"
"That's of course. Although the situation is not clear now, all signs indicate that the Japanese army is siegeing us, and we must expand our living space, so we cannot wait. The first step is to recover Quanjiao, and the next step is **."
"The head of the division, the weasel called. They had roughly figured out the situation of the Japanese army in ** City. The defense map was on the way back. According to the conclusion they found that the Japanese army in ** County only had a small number of heavy weapons. If they were their internal support, there would be no problem to take the ** County!"
"Then let Liao Sen be informed and be prepared to capture ** immediately. Once the time is right, attack immediately." Leng Feng ordered.
"yes!"
"We have to compete with the Japanese army for time now. We can't wait or delay. We don't care about Chief Li's side, and we can't control it. We will fight first." Leng Feng said heavily.
"I support your idea. After recovering **, we will take down Chu County and completely cut off the Japanese's retreat." Qiu Qingquan said.
"Secretary. Where will the battlefield where we will fight the decisive battle with the 13th Japanese Division?" Leng Feng asked with a smile.
"North of Chihe River and south of Huai River!"
"The heroes have similar views. If we can surround the 13th Japanese Division in such an area, it will be not far from annihilation of this Japanese army." Leng Feng laughed.
"Did you have this idea in the southern battle plan you gave to Chief Li?" Qiu Qingquan asked.
"Although I didn't write it out, Chief Li should be able to see what I think. If he saw it, he would not be Chief Li." Leng Feng nodded.
"We must be prepared from now on this decisive battlefield." Leng Feng said, "There is no need to worry about food and ammunition, the key is operation. The current weather situation is not good for the Japanese army, and it also tied up our hands and feet."
"I have seen the direction of the wind. The northwest wind that is blowing today will probably get better tomorrow. The weather is beneficial to us." Qiu Qingquan said.
"good!"
The night is hazy, and the cold river water slapped the river bank, making waves of waves.
The New 38th Brigade took two days and one night and finally arrived on the Yangtze River in Cihu Town. Thousands of people flocked to this small town on the Yangtze River, and suddenly became crowded.
"Isn't there a ferry coming to pick us up on the river? Where is the ferry?" The officers and soldiers crowded by the river and stretched their necks to look at the river.
"It probably hasn't arrived yet. The agreed time is 9 o'clock in the evening. It's only 8:30 now, and there is still half an hour?" Qin Yankun raised his hand and looked at his watch.
"Old Qin, how about the visibility on the river?"
"Fortunately, it's three or four hundred meters."
The temporary command center is located in a warehouse at a dock by the river, with several radio stations on, receiving invisible radio messages in the air.
"The brigade seat, the intelligence team reported that the Japanese army left Xuancheng and gathered in Wuhu!"
"It seems that the Japanese army, like us, want to cross the river northward." Luo Yufeng frowned. This was not good news.
"Lao Luo, how about it? Is there any news about the cold boss?" Qin Yankun pushed the door and took off his coat and handed it to the guards at the door and asked.
"Just just turned on, I was calling, and it should be there soon!"
"The Brigade, the Chief Officer of the Third War Zone, asked why our department had not returned to the construction and acted without authorization?" The confidential staff reported, "Please report the location immediately. This order, Gu Mosan, the Commander of the Third War Zone."
"Old Qin, how do you call back?"
"Let's talk about it when crossing the river." Qin Yankun gritted his teeth. At this time, it would be best not to answer. As long as he crossed the river, he would not be able to control himself.
"Well, don't call back first." Luo Yufeng ordered.
"yes!"
"Sir Leng is calling!"
"read!"
"Luo, Qin, ordered your troops to cross the river quickly and go north. I have sent a car team to enter Wujiang Town. After your troops land, you can take a car directly to Yuxikou. Be sure to occupy Yuxikou before 6 pm tomorrow and establish a blocking position. Leng Feng, 7 pm and 8 pm on January 27, 2018."
"At six o'clock, is it time in a hurry? We don't know the situation of the Japanese troops stationed at Yuxikou..." A trace of worry flashed across Qin Yankun's face.
"Lengtou'er has always been planning and then acting. I think he must have considered it for us a long time ago. Lao Qin, prepare to cross the river." Luo Yufeng patted Qin Yankun's shoulder and smiled.
“That’s right.”
