When he learned that the cavalry corps that rushed to Shucheng to reinforce each other overnight, the radio station was lost again. The Japanese division commander who was stationed in Lu'an also truly realized that things seemed to have become a little tricky.

The infantry corps sent to Luzhou have already heard news that some small counties that were captured by the Japanese army earlier are now in turmoil. The guerrillas that the Japanese army has been encircling and suppressing have been haunting the garrison troops in various cities recently.

Logically speaking, these guerrillas can only cause some trouble to the Japanese, and will not affect the Japanese statistics of the occupied areas. What unexpectedly arises the garrison troops of each city are that the combat strength of the guerrillas has been significantly enhanced recently.

The cleanup operations organized in the past have now been strongly counterattacked by guerrillas. Frequent battles have caused considerable losses to the garrison troops in various cities. In this way, it is difficult for the Japanese army to organize large-scale cleanup and sweep operations.

What makes the Japanese division the most trouble is that these guerrillas destroy the domestic highways. If the Japanese army wants to ensure that the road is not destroyed, they must send more troops to strengthen patrol and guard to ensure the passage of subsequent material convoys.

In short, when the infantry corps stationed in Luzhou City sent back the situation report, the Japanese division commander realized that the infantry corps could not return for a short period of time. Even if he wanted to ensure the stability of Luzhou, he still needed to send more troops.

Now the situation of troops being surrounded and annihilated in Shucheng direction has made the Japanese division commander quite angry. In addition to sending additional reconnaissance aircraft to carry out air reconnaissance, the reinforced infantry brigades should be cautious.

The Japanese division commander was able to encircle and annihilate a cavalry corps in such a short time and felt more and more that the mysterious unit that shelled Luzhou City should be in Shucheng. If it were not annihilated, it would be difficult to carry out the subsequent combat plan.

After confirming that it was impossible to contact the Cavalry Regiment that had been reinforced overnight, the Japanese division commander could only explain: "Send a report to the infantry brigade and ask it to strengthen its vigilance. Enter Shucheng, send additional reconnaissance troops to track the movements of the Chinese army."

"General, do you think the Chinese army still dares to stay in Shucheng?"

"This possibility also exists! The enemy is in the dark, and I am in the light, so it is also necessary to be vigilant!"

Even though the Japanese division commander did not want to believe that the cavalry corps was wiped out, the loss of the radio station was enough to indicate that the cavalry corps suffered a raid. Compared to the infantry brigade that was annihilated in the evening, at least sent back the telegram, the cavalry corps did not even have time to send the telegram.

What does this mean?

The only possibility is that the cavalry gang suffered a surprise attack, and it was an extremely sudden attack, so that the cavalry gang did not even have time to send telegrams. Of course, it is not ruled out that the radio station was blown up and there is still a possibility that the surviving troops would be survived.

But no matter what the situation is, the infantry brigade sent to Shucheng again must be vigilant. The successive incidents in Shucheng are enough to show that the strength of the anti-Japanese war armed forces in Shucheng is probably far beyond the expectations of the Japanese army.

If the Japanese army blocked the passage from Luzhou to Shucheng at the moment when Luzhou was captured, perhaps things would not have become so bad. Now that the mysterious troops attacking Luzhou have entered Shucheng, the Japanese army will become very passive.

If the Japanese army gathers heavy troops to encircle and suppress, this unit can retreat into Huoshan and seek cooperation with the troops stationed in Huoshan. In a strategic sense, this mysterious unit has already occupied the advantage of the battlefield where it can be attacked and retreated.

Since we already know that this mysterious unit with heavy artillery is in Shucheng, the Japanese army must also be careful to deal with it. From the repeated battles and victory of this mysterious unit, it can be seen that this unit poses a great threat to the Japanese army.

If he accidentally dealt with it, the Japanese division stationed in Lu'an at this moment could really capsize in the gutter. The losses in the past few days alone have forced the Japanese division commander to send a report to the dispatching army headquarters, requesting that additional troops be sent into Anhui Province.

The additional infantry brigade sent by the Japanese army arrived in Shucheng. The reconnaissance team lurking on the highway soon reported the information to Hu Biao. Seeing the telegram sent by the reconnaissance team, Hu Biao smiled and said, "There are a lot of Japanese devils here!"

"Captain, look at this move, the Japanese are afraid they are so angry!"

"It's okay! The combat effectiveness of an infantry brigade cannot be underestimated. But have you ever thought about it? If this infantry brigade is also defeated or wiped out by us, how many Japanese devils gathered in Lu'an will be left?"

Nearly 10,000 elite Japanese soldiers advanced into Shucheng, which really put pressure on Hu Biao's commanders and soldiers. But in Hu Biao's opinion, they would encounter this situation sooner or later. This time, Hu Biao was not powerless to fight back.

After all, if the task force cannot defeat it, at least there will be a chance to escape the Japanese encirclement. The more Japanese Japanese came this time, the more opportunities for sneak attacks provided to the task force. Hu Biao still understands this principle.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Send a report to the front-line reconnaissance team and ask them to bury explosives on the road section that the Japanese army must pass. When they come from afar, they always have to give some meeting gifts. Tell the reconnaissance team that only bury explosives and not fight with the Japanese army!"

"Yes, captain!"

"In addition, I sent a report to General Yu, who was stationed in Lu'an, asking him to pay close attention to the Japanese army's troops and inform the Japanese army of the news that an infantry brigade had been dispatched to Shucheng. Let him send troops to reconnaissance, and the Japanese were deploying their troops in Lu'an!"

Nearly 10,000 Japanese troops rushed from Lu'an to Shucheng, which undoubtedly reduced the pressure on the Lu'an defenders. In this way, Yu Xuezhong's troops, the 51st Army of the Northeast Army stationed in Lu'an, could also take a breath and wait for the development of the situation.

But in Hu Biao's view, in order to increase pressure on the Japanese army, the 51st Army could also draw a small number of elite troops and start to harass the Japanese army in Lu'an. It was a bit embarrassing to Hu Biao's view.

However, Hu Biao would not forcefully interfere with such combat deployment. After all, he is just a colonel, and others are the commander of the army. Being willing to cooperate in combat has already given him the colonel face.

Regarding the news that the Japanese army sent an infantry brigade to Shucheng, Hu Biao did not forget to send a telegram to Xu Yuanquan. After learning the news, Xu Yuanquan was a little shocked: "The Japanese are really mobilizing troops!"

"If a military captain, an infantry brigade comes straight to our defensive position, it will be afraid it won't be too long!"

Although he had two main divisions under his command, Xu Yuanquan knew very well that these two main divisions under his command were not full. In order to block the Japanese army in the previous period, the army he commanded also paid a considerable price, and each division is currently in a state of shortage of personnel.

Faced with the concerns of the two division commanders, Xu Yuanquan also said directly: "Order the front-line troops to be ready for battle at any time. If the Japanese really launch an attack, you must hold on for at least two days no matter what!"

"Yes, the military seat!"

The requirement of holding on to two days seems not long, but both division commanders knew that if they wanted to resist the Japanese army's fierce attack for two days, they had to prepare for heavy casualties in the army. Fortunately, the fortifications at present have been almost the same.

With the troops' weapons and ammunition issued earlier, the troops responsible for blocking should not worry about insufficient ammunition. To sum up the number of people, the remaining troops of the two divisions are still more than the Japanese.

"In my name, I sent a telegram to Colonel Hu, hoping that he could provide the Japanese army's troops mobilization. At the same time, I told him that once the Japanese army launches a full-scale attack, our troops can block the attack for up to two days, I hope they can understand!"

"Yes, the military seat!"

Upon receiving a telegram from Xu Yuanquan, Hu Biao smiled and said, "It seems that our Commander Xu is still afraid of the Japanese! Send a report to Xu Sandao and ask him to draw a reconnaissance team to report to the frontier positions of the 26th Army.

Let our brothers teach the brothers of the 26th Army a harassment tactic. There are still many places suitable for harassment wars from Shucheng to Huoshan. Let’s fight a few harassment wars first and vent the fire for the Japanese!”

"clear!"

After entering Anhui Province, Hu Biao discovered that the National Army's anti-Japanese war troops, which were responsible for blocking, were often in a passive defense. Most of the time, the troops responsible for blocking were defending the defensive positions, waiting for the Japanese to attack.

But in Hu Biao's opinion, it is still very necessary to add some trouble to the Japanese before waiting for the Japanese to attack. If you can take the opportunity to harass a few more times and cause some trouble to the attacking Japanese, you can also consume the morale of the Japanese.

After receiving a call from Hu Biao again, Xu Yuanquan said with a slightly strange expression: "It seems that our call from the call still makes this Flying Fox General dissatisfied. It would be better if you send a report to the frontline positions and ask them to draw troops to cooperate!"

In addition to the guard regiment that was staying with the task force at this moment, the two main divisions also had their own guard battalions. As generals in command, they also wanted to see how the troops trained by Hu Biao were different from them.

When the reconnaissance team sent by Hu Biao arrived at the defensive position stationed by the 26th Army, the two guard battalions were also ready. Following the reconnaissance team, the officers and soldiers of the two guard battalions also began to learn how to carry out the raid.

Faced with the reconnaissance planes that appear overhead from time to time and act as temporary instructors, the task force members also seemed very calm. This confident state also made the officers and soldiers of the guard battalion feel that these people are indeed not simple.

When traps buried on the highway were laid out, many officers and soldiers from the guard battalion could not help but say, "These tricks seemed a bit sinister. If the Japanese came over, they might suffer a loss!"

"Isn't this just right? The more Japanese die, the less pressure we face!"

Looking at the combat team members who were directing them to arrange traps on the road, many officers and soldiers in the guard battalion knew that this group of people was indeed not simple. And for the first time, they also knew that wars could still fight like this!

After all the explosives carried were buried, the reconnaissance team was also assigned to each harassing team to serve as temporary combat instructors. Although the officers and soldiers of the guard battalion were worried, they felt that the risk seemed to be small.

When they learned that the members of the reconnaissance team often do such things, they are happy to inquire and learn. As soldiers, who doesn’t want to learn more combat skills and add more hope to survive?
