As several telegrams were sent out one after another, the commanders of the various anti-Japanese war forces responsible for the defense operations of Anhui Province were shocked by the secret and unannounced good news. Seeing this telegram, many commanders knew that the situation of the anti-Japanese war in Anhui Province had reversed.

As the main attack force, the 13th Japanese Division of the army was defeated after entering Anhui Province. The various defensive anti-Japanese war forces could only adopt layers of blocking to delay the 13th Division's long-term entry as much as possible to ensure the safety of the Wuhan flanks.

Unexpectedly, with the emergence of the task force, the New Fourth Army, which was in the War of Resistance in Anhui Province, captured Chucheng and Luzhou City, cut off the Japanese logistics supply line, causing frequent changes in the rear of the Japanese army, forcing the Japanese army to draw the main force back to aid.

In order to rescue the prisoners of war, they first captured Shucheng, and then organized ambush on the highway to encircle and annihilate the Japanese troops stationed in Shucheng. They boldly used seduction tactics to wipe out the cavalry gang sent by the Japanese army overnight on the long streets of Shucheng.

Using the seized explosives, the city was set up explosion traps. While the reinforced infantry brigades were not firmly established, the city was detonated. Finally, through the tactics of harassment and attack on both sides, the infantry brigades that would aid in Shucheng in the future.

Surrounding the small county town of Shucheng, the task force cooperated with the guard regiment under the 26th Group Army, which was a three-battle victory. When the news came to the mountain city, even Chiang Kai-shek was extremely shocked and said bluntly, "This son of Hu Biao is really a tiger general."

On the other hand, Hu Biao, who had sent the telegram, directly ordered the troops to camp and rest. In addition to sending reconnaissance troops to monitor the next military trends of the Japanese army, Hu Biao did not pay much attention to the outside world.

What surprised Hu Biao was that after he woke up for a few hours of rest, he came to Zheng Jingwu and asked: "Have the reconnaissance troops sent a message? Is there still no movement in the remaining unit of the Japanese division stranded in Lu'an?"

"Captain, according to your order, I contact them every two hours. At present, no Japanese have been found entering Shucheng. Only the reconnaissance team that stayed outside Shucheng sent a telegram saying that there were several Japanese fighter jets reconnaissance back and forth in the morning."

After listening to Zheng Jingwu's report, Hu Biao smiled and said, "Looking at this move, the Japanese are afraid that they will be beaten by us. If we don't understand our details, they will probably not dare to send troops to reinforce. After fighting in the past few days, half of the division was beaten by us!"

"Hehe, that's it! The Japanese meet the captain of the detachment, and that's purely a delivery of vegetables!"

"Stop coming! When did you know how to flatter and flatter? Go and call the platoon leaders for a meeting!"

"Yes, captain!"

Even if you don’t have the opportunity to participate in front-line operations, Zheng Jingwu felt extremely happy as a radio liaison officer of the task force. As Hu Biao’s confidant subordinate, Zheng Jingwu also became Hu Biao’s most trusted external intelligence liaison officer.

As the platoon leaders of the detachment arrived one after another, looking at the still bright sky, Hu Biao first talked about some homely affairs, and then asked: "How are you resting, brothers? Can you still eat and eat during this continuous battle?"

"Captain, are the morale of brothers? When I returned to the mountain, many bastards were so excited that they couldn't sleep. Although we fought continuously, we all had a good rest during the day, and we had no problems with both physical strength and spirit!"

"That's good! When you enter the enemy's back, you must develop the habit of hiding at daytime and going out at night. We don't have much advantage in fighting during the day. Only sneak attacks at night are our strengths. If you don't have a good rest during the day, what about the spirit and strength you can come to at night?

Now I’m going to find you here, and I want to discuss the next combat plan. Judging from the current reconnaissance, the Japanese are afraid that they will be scared and dare not send troops here again. If you continue to stay here, there is no war to fight."

"Captain, will we go to Lu'an next?"

I know that Hu Biao can't stay idle and really wants to sleep in the mountains every day, he will feel uncomfortable all over. Now the army is in a strong morale, so he should indeed seize the opportunity and bite the Japanese hard so that they can't eat well and sleep.

These combat platoon leaders are all elites promoted by Hu Biao and are also militants. For the task force, if the Japanese do not take the initiative to attack, the task force will take the initiative to cause trouble to the Japanese do.

Facing the inquiry from his subordinates, Hu Biao thought for a while and said, "From the current situation, it would be useless to go to Wuhan. I thought about it, I would rather go around Anhui Province first, and then advance into Henan Province and find an opportunity to go to the Yellow River Flood Zone to take a look.

The troops we sent to the Yellow River Flood Zone earlier are developing well. However, the current situation in the Yellow River Flood Zone is relatively complicated, and our team has also attracted the attention of all forces. I think it is necessary to go and have a look!"

Through the battle information passed by the Military Control Commission, Hu Biao felt that it was not important whether to go to Wuhan or not. Hu Biao led his troops to advance into Anhui Province this time, and after a chaotic battle, it disrupted the Japanese army's strategic deployment.

The anti-Japanese war troops that were fighting fiercely with the Japanese army on the front line of Wuhan do not have to worry about problems on the flanks in a short period of time. Even if the Japanese do not give up, they can only draw troops from other places to ensure that their Anhui Province strategy can be successfully completed.

As for the current situation, the Japanese will either draw troops from the Wuhan front line to return to aid, or draw troops from Jinling to reinforce. No matter which one, it will make the Japanese army feel the pressure of a shortage of troops and affect its strategy of stabilizing the rear.

Since he doesn't want to participate in the melee, Hu Biao feels it is still necessary to go to the Yellow River Flood and support his troops. If someone is disobedient, Hu Biao will repair it carefully no matter where the other party comes from.

The armed squad sent to the Yellow River Flood Zone earlier provided assistance to many victims of the Yellow River Flood Zone with the help of the Eighth Route Army. If Hu Biao hadn't warned him, he would not wantonly expand his troops, but he was afraid that these armed squads would have increased their strength now.

Most of the young and strong people selected from the victims were sent to the enemy's bases opened by the Eighth Route Army. Such disaster relief actions by the armed squad and the Eighth Route Army undoubtedly caused dissatisfaction among some officials and gentry who were hoping to make money from the national crisis.

In today's Yellow River Flood, some are controlled by the Japanese and some are still controlled by the National Army. Whether the party controlled by the National Army or the Japanese Army, they all show a little indifferent to the rescue of disaster victims.

Since he has arrived at the border between Henan Province and Anhui Province, Hu Biao doesn't mind turning around and killing another one to shoot back. While the Japanese are paying attention to Wuhan, Hu Biao turns around and goes to the Japanese-occupied area to make a fuss.

If possible, Hu Biao wouldn't mind and captured several counties controlled by the Japanese and located in the Yellow River Flood Zone. At that time, whether it is handed over to the National Army or the Eighth Route Army, the existence of the armed forces under Hu Biao cannot be ignored.

After telling his thoughts, the platoon leaders said happily: "Okay! It's good to go to the north to open your horizons. I've heard from people that the north is also very lively. Captain, just give orders!"

"Okay! That's the temporary plan! Let the brothers have a good rest and prepare to go to Lu'an after night. If we can clear the siege of Lu'an, then we will go to Xinyang and then go directly to the Yellow River Flood Zone to see if we can help some disaster victims."

"yes!"

Logically speaking, the matter of rescuing disaster victims has nothing to do with pure soldiers like Hu Biao. But Hu Biao, who came from later generations, is very clear that this matter of rescuing disaster victims can also make more people remember the kindness of Hu Biao and his troops.

No matter how the situation changes in the future, some people want to slander Hu Biao and his troops, and I believe that the people will refute it. In Hu Biao's opinion, it is necessary to strive for some things like the people's hearts and opinions.

Moreover, he had to set up a team in the north and he had to ignore it. This time, by attacking the Japanese, and those officials and gentry who were not kind and wealthy, they also had to exercise the actual combat capabilities of the troops.

If possible, Hu Biao hopes to expand two more combat companies from the north when returning to the south. In this way, Hu Biao will have a special battalion, and in the future, he will have more room for rotation.

What's more, after the War of Wuhan ended, the Japanese army should adjust its combat deployment and change the current way of gathering heavy troops to attack, and change it to assemble troops from a certain area and gradually erode the tactics of the defense areas of the Anti-Japanese War troops.

In this way, the Japanese army's combat focus will also be changed from the combat deployment of eliminating the main force of the National Army to clearing out the anti-Japanese war armed forces that are in danger of their rear rule. In the next step, the pressure of the National Army's combat troops will be reduced, while the pressure of the Eighth Route Army will be doubled.

If you have the chance, Hu Biao will contact the Eighth Route Army again this time. Through his own enemy-behind bases in the north and south, he will transport materials and combat equipment for the Eighth Route Army as much as possible.

Compared with the Eighth Route Army and the National Army, most of them are on the road of expanding their troops, while Hu Biao chooses the elite military strategy. Every time he fights, Hu Biao will seize a large number of weapons and ammunition. A large number of weapons and ammunition are basically useless to put them in.

If the captured weapons and ammunition can be sent to the Eighth Route Army or other anti-Japanese war forces, Hu Biao believes that those anti-Japanese war forces that lack guns and ammunition will have more counterattack and self-protection power when facing the encirclement and suppression of Japanese devils.

To discuss the specific combat deployment, Hu Biao asked Zheng Jingwu to say: "Send a telegram to Commander Xu, hoping that he can send a force to take over Shucheng's defense. In a short period of time, there should be no need to worry about the Japanese attacking again.

If possible, I hope he can come to Shucheng in person. In addition, let our brothers chat with the officers and soldiers of the guard regiment to see how many of them are willing to go with us. I will talk to Commander Xu later!"

"Yes, General Xu won't be angry if he does this?"

"Why are you angry? I never force it, it depends on the soldiers' voluntarily. Besides, after sending him so many weapons and ammunition, he also lifted the siege of Huoshan and asked him for some soldiers, what's so angry about? Don't he want those artillery?"

Hu Biao felt that it was somewhat inconvenient to take the cannons pulled out from Shucheng earlier. Since he couldn't take them away, it would be better to make a deal with Xu Yuanquan. He believed that Xu Yuanquan would agree to the proposal to use cannons to exchange soldiers.
