Compared with many people, when the Central Army chose to avoid fighting and relax the Japanese army's passage to encircle and suppress the New Fourth Army, some accused the Central Army of only running, but some people thought it was a wise decision. Fighting with the Japanese army was not worth the cost and would only consume the strength of the War of Resistance.

But no matter what, the New Fourth Army issued a telegram to express that it would not retreat, and the Japanese army that advanced and suppressed were relieved. In their opinion, what they were most worried about was that these anti-Japanese war troops who were good at guerrilla warfare disappeared from their sight.

At present, the New Fourth Army expressed that it would not retreat when it was fighting to the death, so the Japanese army that was advancing and suppressing felt that there was greater hope of completing the revenge mission. As for the New Fourth Army, composed of the Red Army's enemy-behind guerrillas, the Japanese army felt that the combat effectiveness was probably not even as good as the Central Army.

According to the situation that the Saber Special Forces found from the rear of the Japanese army, He Zhengdao had learned that the Japanese army advanced from Ma'anshan to southern Anhui from Ma'anshan. Except for sending a gang into northern Anhui, the rest of the main forces all advanced into southern Anhui.

When the Central Army, which was originally guarding Ma'anshan, evacuated according to the orders of its superiors when they learned that the Japanese army was attacking. Even if many Central Army officers and soldiers who had retreated from Nanjing refused to leave, they still couldn't stop the people from escaping wildly.

Realizing this situation, He Zhengdao could probably judge that the Central Army completely gave up southern Anhui and defended the territory of northern Anhui. As for the life or death of the New Fourth Army in southern Anhui, they would not care too much about it.

Even the intelligence detected by the Saber Special Forces was reconnaissance, and the main force of the Central Army stationed in northern Anhui took a desperate defensive momentum. Although they did not say the order to prohibit the New Fourth Army troops from entering northern Anhui, what would actually happen? Just think about it!

When we really reach the territory controlled by the Central Army, how to deal with the New Fourth Army is not left to their final say?

Thinking of this, He Zhengdao directly ordered: "Order the Sabre Special Forces to attack the fleeing Central Army officials from the moment they immediately. People can cross the river, and weapons, ammunition and supplies must be left for me in southern Anhui.

In addition, let the Special Forces ask the Central Army who escaped from Nanjing, where do they still want to escape, and do they still want to be cowards? If they don’t want to, let the Saber Special Forces recruit me all.

Soon after, the New Fourth Army will send a main regiment from the Second Division, as well as the reconnaissance battalion of the First Division and the Second Division to cooperate with them to set up defenses in the Ma'anshan area. They told Song Yuping that all the people who refused to leave would be left and sent across the river or the rear base.

The entire Ma'anshan area will be the first battlefield to block the Japanese army, and the 2nd Division of the New Fourth Army will cooperate with them to launch an attack. A special combat team will be drawn to Xuancheng area to cooperate with the 1st Division of the New Fourth Army.

In addition, the special forces members who stayed at the Second Division station and the injured special forces stationed all acted with the New Fourth Army headquarters. In addition to protecting the safety of the New Fourth Army headquarters, strengthen the safety alert at the New Fourth Army headquarters stationed."

I received a telegram from He Zhengdao and a telegram from Chen Shuchun to support the troops arrived in Ma'anshan soon. The entire southern Anhui area became completely busy and chaotic due to the Japanese invasion.

According to He Zhengdao's plan to strengthen the walls and clear the fields, the people who were under the Japanese army's military front and lost the shelter of the Central Army all arranged guerrillas to persuade them to leave. If they really couldn't persuade them, the guerrillas could do nothing.

These days, some people are reluctant to give up their homes. Even if the guerrillas tell them that once the Japanese army comes in, they may be killed. But these people always feel that they are not soldiers and the Japanese may not kill them.

Even if some guerrillas told them about the Nanjing Massacre, some people still felt that such things might not be credible. Faced with such people who were unable to enter the country, the guerrillas no longer said anything, and only escorted the people who were willing to leave to the rear.

In response to this situation, in order to ensure that the implementation of the solid walls and clear the field is in place, He Zhengdao also gave the New Fourth Army a move, allowing the special operations team to play the role of the Japanese, and test whether these left-behind people are really not afraid of death.

Although this is a bit unequivocal, He Zhengdao feels that compared to these people, they may die under the Japanese butcher's knife. If they are not particular, they will not pay attention to it. Even doing this can lead to some people who intend to act as the "leader" for the Japanese army.

With the telegram from the New Fourth Army and He Zhengdao, Song Yuping arranged a special combat team in the Danyang area of ​​Ma'anshan where the Japanese army was about to arrive. Under his leadership, the other special combat team members came to the Dangtu area where they were evacuating urgently.

Dangtu and Ma'anshan are under the jurisdiction of the county. They are located in the eastern part of Anhui, on the southern bank of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, at the intersection of the Yangtze River Delta and the Wanjiang River urban belt, between Ma'anshan and Wuhu. They are an important riverside and border counties in Anhui and a bridgehead for eastward development.

Here, the Central Army originally deployed a garrison regiment. But before the Japanese vanguard had entered, they began to prepare to cross the river to the Hanshan area in northern Anhui. There, a Central Army main regiment was stationed there.

Song Yuping, who arrived in Dangtu, first met with the 1st Regiment of the 2nd Division of the New Fourth Army. In addition, there were also the reconnaissance units of the 1st Division and the 2nd Division. The total strength of this unit has reached nearly 5,000 people.

Looking at the soldiers who came by lightly, Song Yuping smiled and said, "You are here so fast! I thought you would have to arrive at least in the evening! But it's great that you're here. If you arrive, we can start to act too.

By the way, we seized a lot of weapons in the Ma'anshan area and the Japanese devils some time ago. After that, you can replace the weapons first. As for the weapons in your hands, all the extra ones will be sent to the local guerrilla troops!"

‘Okay! When we came, the commander gave us a special explanation, asking us not to carry too much equipment, saying that you have prepared for us. This time it seems that we have the chance to change the shotgun.’

‘Not that exaggerated! We have limited manpower and we can actually transport back weapons and ammunition. When we asked the local guerrillas for help on the way, we also gave some weapons as transportation fees. We are all our own family, so we can’t be too stingy!

The Japanese have not had many 38 major covers, only more than 300. However, there are many official rifles used by the Central Military. You can concentrate these weapons to use them later. All the reconnaissance battalions will be replaced with Japanese equipment.’

Upon hearing this, Ding Maoshan, the commander of the 1st regiment of the Second Division, who led the team, smiled and said, "I know that the standard rifle of the Central Army is much better than the Hanyang we used! This time, I will benefit from it!"

As the 1st Regiment of the Second Division and the two reconnaissance battalions directly under the division, they arrived at the base of the Ma'anshan Guerrilla Brigade in Dangtu. Looking at the weapons stored in the cave, Ding Maoshan and the two reconnaissance battalion commanders seemed very excited.

On the other hand, Song Yuping smiled and said, "Reconnaissance Battalion, we will act with our armed forces team next. In addition to the heavy machine guns handing over to a regiment of equipment, you can all erroneous hands first.

For two reconnaissance battalions, each of the rifles is temporarily equipped with half, and the use of grenade launchers and mortars will be handed over to you later. The remaining weapons and ammunition of the Central Army will be left to a regiment for replacement.

Next, we will deal with the Japanese who are facing heavy troops in Ma'anshan. If there is no one who can help, we will not be able to arrive for too long. The two reconnaissance battalions will first change their clothes and take a mission with me tonight.

As for Captain Ding, please cooperate with my reconnaissance team to do some preparations. According to the orders of the Central Committee and the Military Department, we will destroy all the highways and bridges here to delay the speed of the Japanese army.

If you encounter obstacles from the people, you will patiently do your work for them and tell them directly that this is performing military affairs. At that time, you will also advise these people to retreat to the rear quickly and not stay in the war zone.

Once the war begins, the entire Ma'anshan area will become a war zone. If they really encounter Japanese devils, they will most likely be killed. If they still refuse to evacuate, let the guerrillas record these people at that time, and I will find a way!"

‘Okay! When we came, the commander of the army, the political commissar and the division commander, told us that we would cooperate with your actions. If there were any other tasks, Captain Song would say it. Speaking of which, if I had not had your regiment, I, Lao Ding, would not have lived now.’

‘Why do you have to say anything polite to you? To be precise, we can fight side by side again in this Ma'anshan battle. In fact, this combat plan was also thought out by our commander!’

Song Yuping also said to Ding Maoshan in a low voice. When he heard this, Ding Maoshan was also very happy. He was rescued by He Zhengdao, but because of his injury, he finally returned to the south with Chen Shuchun.

For him, he always remembered He Zhengdao's rescue. It was precisely because of this that when he sent troops to cooperate with the Saber Special Forces, Chen Shuchun directly brought the most elite one in his hand.

It was just that the telegram sent by Song Yuping, letting a group of people move forward lightly without having to carry machine guns and mortars. When they arrived here, a group of people would be replenished with weapons and ammunition. Chen Shuchun also knew that Song Yuping must have seized a batch of weapons.

In fact, this is true. When the injured special forces members were sent back to the rear, Song Yuping led the special forces members to wipe out several Japanese reconnaissance units. The weapons and ammunition they carried naturally became the spoils of the special forces.

As for the weapons and ammunition of the Central Army, Song Yuping also seized them from the evacuated Central Army. Even if these Central Army were reluctant, they could not even raise their heads by Song Yuping's scolding.

Some Central Army officers and soldiers who did not want to retreat were placed separately by Song Yuping. Now they are following the special forces teams staring at the Japanese advancing. Because of this, Song Yuping has a lot of troops available!

After changing clothes, Song Yuping led ten special forces members and two reconnaissance battalions to leave the guerrilla base overnight. Looking at the more than a thousand troops that were leaving, many left-behind New Fourth Army were full of awe of them.

Some battalion commander even asked directly: "The regiment commander, is it the lieutenant general who killed the Japanese devils in Nanjing?"

‘Well! That is them, they saved my life during the Long March. OK, don’t ask for some things, just know how to cooperate with their actions. Don’t ask for it, do you understand?’

As the main commander of the Second Division, Ding Maoshan knew very well that the matters about the Saber Special Forces were all secrets of the New Fourth Army. He would not say much about them, nor would he tell his officers that were too secret.

Knowing too much may not be a good thing sometimes!
