Under the foreign oil lamp, Gao Shenxing looked at the map for a long time speechless.

On the map, a curved interlude curve has been marked. Gao Shenxing estimated the distance slightly. It was at least 300 miles to fight back and forth, which was more than 600 miles. He had to drive 300 miles to Tongling within a day and two nights, and then retreat to Qingyang within a day and night. It would be difficult to have enough time to attack the Japanese army in Tongling.

Having said that, the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui did not have to capture Tongling County. After all, the most important thing is to receive the batch of supplies transported from Shanghai. As for Tongling County, it is good to be able to be defeated. Even if it cannot be defeated, it has nothing to do with the overall situation. As long as the batch of supplies sent from Shanghai is obtained, it would be a piece of cake to attack Tongling County in the future?

The key to the problem is to trap the Japanese army in Tongling in the county town so that there is room and time to unload materials.

"Old Xu, this battle is not easy." After a long silence, Gao Shenxing said in a deep voice, "Not only is the long range of the attack, there are too many unpredictable factors. The key is that he has to pass through the defense areas of the Japanese and the 5th Army, especially the 5th Army. I heard that after Huang Baitao took office, he replaced a group of officers. The combat effectiveness of the 1st Army is no longer the same as before."

Xu Shijiu nodded and expressed his understanding. Xu Shijiu also heard from Ye Ruxue about the changes that happened to the Di Army after Huang Baitao became the commander. Although Huang Baitao had a bad background, he was very good at leading troops. After taking office, this guy not only replaced a large number of officers who deducted military pay, but also ate and lived with the lower-level officers and soldiers under the leadership of Huang Baitao. The confrontation between the Di Army officers and soldiers has been alleviated and his combat effectiveness has been significantly improved.

If nothing unexpected happens, the Army will soon become the ace army in the Third War Zone.

The most important thing is that Huang Baitao is a low-key person because of his poor background. The specific manifestation is that he obeys Gu Zhutong, the commander-in-chief of the Third War Zone. Therefore, as long as Gu Zhutong gives the order, Huang Baitao will definitely intercept the batch of supplies that Ye Ruxue bought from the Shanghai Concession for a large sum of money.

As for Gu Zhutong, it is even more impossible to watch the batch of supplies fall into the hands of the anti-Japanese and national salvation army in southern Anhui.

It is completely foreseeable that if the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui wants to transport the batch of materials back to Longkou, it will inevitably have to compete with Huang Baitao's army. Although Chairman Jiang has made public statements, he will no longer take military measures against the Eighth Route Army, the New Fourth Army and other anti-Japanese armed forces in the future, this cannot stop the small actions of the war zones below.

In fact, neither Yan Xishan from Shanxi, Gu Zhutong from Zhejiang and Anhui, nor Han Deqin from the Sulu Border Region, nor Yu Xuezhong from the Eighth Route Army or the New Fourth Army.

Gao Shenxing said again: "However, no matter how difficult this battle is, we have to fight this batch of supplies. But we finally bought it from Shanghai for a lot of money. We can't afford it for nothing. Gu Zhutong, the ungrateful wolf."

Xu Shijiu sighed and whispered: "If you have a choice, I really don't want to fight Huang Baitao.

Xu Shijiu really didn't want to fight with the current 25th Army. After Huang Baitao took over the 25th Army, the appearance of the 25th Army had become solemn. It turned out that the army that only knew the bad military discipline in Yuru Village had disappeared, but was replaced by a real anti-Japanese armed force with strict discipline and tenacious style.

With such a real anti-Japanese armed force, whether it is the victory of the anti-Japanese and national salvation army in southern Anhui, or the victory of the army, it will also lose for China, because the ultimate loss is the most elite armed force in China, the final loss is the little Japanese, and the final loss is the Chinese nation.

"We have to face what we should face. If Huang Baitao insists on fighting this battle, we may only be able to accompany you to the end." Gao Shenxing sighed and continued, "Apart from Gu Zhutong and Huang Baitao, the little Japanese will probably not let us transport the batch of supplies back to Longkou smoothly. Old Xu, do you think the little Japanese will fall into your suspicious plan?"

The Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui took the initiative to attack Chizhou, with the purpose of attracting the attention of the Japanese army in southern Anhui to Chizhou. Then the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui took advantage of the opportunity to attack Tongling from a distance. This means, just like Xu Shijiu set up a table of wine. Although the dishes are good, only God knows whether the Japanese will come to the banquet.

(Split Line)

In Jing County, southern Anhui, Huang Baitao is inspecting the defense zone of the 40th Division.

Seeing the officers and soldiers of the 40th Division eating the boiled bark, Huang Baitao sighed and asked the adjutant to take out a stack of French coins.

Chen Shizhang, the acting commander of the 40th Division, suddenly changed his face and said, "Military, this is the military pay you just received, I can't ask for it."

"Hold it." Huang Baitao stuffed the stack of French coins into Chen Shizhang's hand and said, "Buy some rice for brothers and cook a pot of porridge. That's all I can give you. However, there is one thing you must remember. No matter how difficult it is or how hard it is, you are not allowed to steal the people. Those who violate the order will be killed without any consideration."

"Yes," Chen Shizhang stood attentively and said solemnly, "You must remember the military commands."

Chen Shizhang knew very well that Huang Baitao's words were not just saying, this guy really dared to kill people.

About half a month after Huang Baitao took office, a regiment commander of the First Division believed that the commander had a backer and did not imprison Huang Baitao at all. After the ban was issued, the regiment commander led his troops to plunder a village near Maolin. However, Huang Baitao arrested without saying a word and shot him in front of more than 10,000 officers and soldiers in the army.

Huang Baitao patted Chen Shizhang on the shoulder and was about to give him a few words of encouragement when the adjutant suddenly came over.

"Military Seat, Friendship Notice" walked to Huang Baitao, the adjutant stood at attention, and then handed over a telegram with both hands.

Huang Baitao received the telegram and glanced at it, and his face changed. Chen Shizhang stood beside him and wanted to see it, but he didn't dare to stretch his head over. Huang Baitao handed the telegram directly over. Chen Shizhang received the telegram and looked closely. It turned out to be a telegram sent by the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui, but the content was a news report about the preparation of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui.

"Xu Shijiu's head was kicked by the donkey? How dare he hit Chizhou?" Chen Shizhang's first reaction was that he didn't believe it.

Originally, no matter how strong your anti-Japanese and national salvation army in southern Anhui is, you can only dare to attack Chizhou City where the Japanese army is heavily stationed? You should know that Chizhou not only stationed an infantry brigade of the Japanese Army, but also a marine brigade of the Marine Corps, as well as firepower support from the navy and aviation. More importantly, the 14th Independent Mixed Brigade stationed in Jiujiang and the 13th Independent Mixed Brigade stationed in Hefei can all reinforce nearby. With more than 10,000 people in southern Anhui Anti-Japanese and National Saving Military Region, I am afraid that it is not enough for the Japanese to get stuck in the gaps. Is Xu Shijiu crazy?

Huang Baitao's vision was obviously more vicious than Chen Shizhang, saying: "The anti-Japanese and national salvation army in southern Anhui was probably empty and attacked Tongling from a distance. The batch of military supplies bought from Shanghai was the real thing. This is Xu Shijiu's plan to attack the east and west, but what is confusing is that this plan to attack the east and west is really not a clever one. Does Xu Shijiu really expect the little Japanese to come to his plan and transfer all his troops to defend Chizhou?"

"Ah, the trick of striking east and attacking west?" Chen Shizhang was stunned for a moment and said, "Running to Tongling from a distance?"

Huang Baitao nodded silently, but suddenly a hint of worry was caught between his eyebrows. Huang Baitao had enough confidence in his judgment. What made him a headache was that if the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui really planned to attack Tongling County from a distance, it would have to pass through the defense zone of the army, which means that between the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui, there would be a fight.

If he could choose, Huang Baitao was really unwilling to fight Xu Shijiu and the anti-Japanese and national salvation army in southern Anhui. However, Gu Zhutong was afraid that he would definitely not give him any choice. He had to fight this battle even if he didn't want to fight, and he had to fight even if he didn't want to fight.

While Huang Baitao was pondering, another communications consultant came over and handed him a telegram.

Huang Baitao did not read the main text for now, but only saw that the signature was the head of the War Zone Chief, and his face immediately became dark. This is really the more you fear, the more you will be. Huang Baitao was still worried that he would have a conflict with the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui because of the ownership of the materials. As a result, the order of the Head Chief of the War Zone Chief was immediately dropped.

However, Huang Baitao couldn't quite understand why Gu Zhutong asked him to transfer at least one division's troops and recruit at least five thousand civilians to Niu Touzui. Huang Baitao had already understood the terrain of southern Anhui. Niu Touzui was just a small fishing village on the Yangtze River in Tongling County. If a division's troops were transferred to Niu Touzui, he had to transfer 5,000 civilians to Niu Touzui. What was he going to?
