The Japanese enemies on the southern route were stationed in the Anqing area. They were waiting for the two armies on the northern and middle routes to be encircled before starting the Battle of Wuhan. When Meng Da heard that Xue Yue asked him to seize supplies from the heart of the enemy, he asked in surprise: "Sir, do you want to
Is it possible to get rid of the civilian army with the help of the Japanese?"
"Asshole!" Xue Yue cursed angrily: "Our army's combat effectiveness is not as good as that of the civilian army. If you lend me your troops, I will make you jump for joy."
Seeing that Xue Yue didn't seem to be joking, Meng Da knitted his brows tightly together. He didn't dare to take risks, so he thought of the few guerrillas he had released, and had an idea: "I want to find out the enemy's defense and troop deployment first.
Condition."
"Let me tell you, I have figured out the situation clearly." Xue Yue asked his adjutant to take out a document, handed it to Meng Da and said: "According to intelligence from the police, the Japanese army has stored a large amount of ammunition and supplies in Anqing. Anqing City is defending the Japanese army.
There is only one regiment, your problem is not to defeat it, but how to transport the supplies back and how to cross the Yangtze River!"
"These are the two most difficult subjects!" Meng Da admitted that what Xue Yue said made sense. As long as these two aspects are solved, the little devil will definitely jump into the river in anger!
"Fishing boats!" Wang Yun'er came out from behind, looked at Meng Da's face and said, "I can find you hundreds of wooden boats, connect them with planks, and the army can pass quickly."
"What a great idea!" Meng Da's eyes lit up, but he soon began to worry. The little devils would not let them build a channel on the river with such arrogance. Once the war started, Japanese planes would soon fly over and bombard them indiscriminately.
. He looked up at the sky and smiled bitterly: "Unless God is willing to help."
"You can wait for the opportunity." Luo Zhuoying understood. Meng Da hoped that it would rain heavily so that the Japanese planes could not fly. It is June now, and there is no need to worry about the rain in the south.
"Haha, I'm determined for this battle!" With all the problems solved, Meng Da confidently said to Mazhanhe: "Inform the cavalry, independent division, and shotgun brigade to come over quickly, and ask Wang Yong to lead the shotgun brigade to kill the enemy's weapons for me.
Understand the situation thoroughly.”
"yes!"
"Chief Xue, you have to show some sincerity, right?" Meng Da saw Ma Zhanhe leaving and entangled with Xue Yue with a smile.
"I have prepared bullets and artillery shells for you." Xue Yue was very generous. He knew that this was a bloody battle. Once Anqing was captured, the Japs would be unable to attack his defense area in a short time.
"It's great to be friends with you!" Meng Da said bluntly. He was very angry with Shangguan Yunxiang, Tao Guang and others, and gave Hangzhou to the Japanese army regardless of the overall situation.
"Hahahaha!" Xue Yue laughed heartily and looked at Meng Da strangely: "Aren't you afraid that I will use you as a gun?"
"As long as I really want to kill the Japanese, I would rather be a gun in the hands of the superior!" Meng Da said with a proud voice.
"This is the person I want to see!" Xue Yue and Luo Zhuoying looked at each other and smiled. With Meng Da's gun, the Ninth War Zone will not worry about winning the battle.
The Botian Heavy Detachment (Taiwan Mixed Brigade) moved westward from Wuhu. On the night of June 11, the Botian Detachment took advantage of the rain to raid Anqing. The Sichuan Army's Yang Sen Division failed to fight well and was driven out of the city overnight. Chiang Kai-shek was furious and called Yang Sen to ask for help.
He counterattacked Anqing, and Yang Sen called back. Xu Yuanquan's 26th Army could not withstand the Japanese Sixth Division's attack, exposing his side. He had no choice but to withdraw from Anqing, and the matter was settled.
Xue Yue thought of Meng Da precisely because his troops were timid and unable to regain Anqing.
"Anqing is difficult to hold. I hope you can seize the Japanese supplies and be satisfied!" Xue Yue did not lie to Meng Da. Even if he captured Anqing, the defensive pressure would still be on the ninth theater. It would be difficult to compete with the Japanese in the city.
If he wants to win, he will not agree to Chiang Kai-shek's bad idea.
"Don't worry!" Mengda was very moved by the sincere talk of the two ** officers. A soldier dies for his confidant. Even if he died in battle, it would not be an injustice to get to know such a big shot. Mengda immediately invited: "Let's go.
, let’s go to the headquarters and make a good plan. Now you two officers are my chiefs of staff.”
"Hahahaha!" Xue Yue and Luo Zhuoying sneezed and laughed. The war zone commander who led hundreds of thousands of regular troops became the chief of staff of the motley militia.
The Japanese troops defending Anqing were the Nagai Brigade of the 2nd Regiment and a squadron of the Mountain Artillery Regiment. Meng Da calculated the number of Japanese troops and added that the enemy force of the Imperial Association Army was around 5,000. He knew that attacking Anqing would not be difficult, so how to stop it
The reinforcement of Japanese troops is very important. In front of the combat sand table, three shrewd military officers discussed in low voices. Everyone knew that this was a vicious battle.
"Report, 30,000 migrant workers have been mobilized. The Preliminary Tenth Division, the Preliminary Eleventh Division and the Independent Division are all in place. The artillery unit has set up positions to closely guard the warships on the Yangtze River!" After Fengdie returned, she stayed at the headquarters to serve as
Captain of the communications team. She walked briskly to Meng Da and reported on the troop mobilization.
"Is the shotgun brigade in place?" Meng Da was not prepared to storm Anqing. Once he stormed, it would cause huge losses as the war expanded. He wanted to use the sharp sword of the shotgun brigade to sneak into Anqing and open the city gate.
"No news from them yet."
Meng Da was stunned for a moment, but then he was relieved: "They must be still planning a battle plan. Always pay attention to all news, and a telegram will be sent over immediately."
"yes!"
While Meng Da was waiting for the news, Independent Division Liu Tai sent a telegram. Meng Da took the telegram from the translator and smiled immediately: "Okay, this battle is more worth fighting! The little devil sent it to us.
I can’t afford to do without so much industrial equipment.”
Xue Yue snorted coldly and said: "The Japanese army is too arrogant! They think Anqing is so impregnable that they actually allowed Japanese businessmen to develop here in advance."
The Botian detachment took advantage of the rainy night to successfully raid Anqing. He never dreamed that a similar force would dare to surround the city on a rainy night after he occupied Anqing. Wang Yong's task was to open the south gate to receive the 10th Preliminary Division into the city.
It's not an easy thing to do without firing a shot.
"Thank God for your help!" The heavy rain continued, and Wang Yong looked up at the sky with a smile. The soldiers were all lying in wait in the rain, and no one was angry at the bad weather.
"Captain, it's time!" Xiao Hou pointed to his luminous watch, which was a trophy obtained from the Japanese train.
"action!"
At the command, the soldiers of the shotgun brigade who had been prepared quickly rushed to their target. Before the Japanese army could react, a sharp knife on his neck had cut his throat. Wang Yong walked forward with the dagger in his hand, as if this was the
His defense zone was the same. While the little Japanese in front of him was in a daze, countless vigorous figures sprang out from behind.
The battle went extremely smoothly, and the enemies at the south gate were quickly cleared. Wang Yong took out his flashlight and signaled outside. Meng Da waved his troops and began to enter the city. Wang Yong greeted Meng Da and asked Xiao Houhou to quickly lead his troops to seize supplies.
, attacked the Japanese barracks. Soon, gunfire broke out in Anqing City, and the captain Nagai, who woke up from his sleep, ran naked into the yard.
"Baga, the Chinese sneak attack!"
"Nonsense, I've already attacked your headquarters. Nagai, if you know what's going on, put down your weapons and surrender, I'll spare your life." The monkey outside the wall took over the topic, and he talked to Nagai in fluent Japanese.
Nagai was surprised. Anqing had been taken, and his headquarters was also surrounded by Chinese troops. The cunning captain rushed into the room, picked up the grenade and put it on the back gable wall. There was only a bang and an explosion behind him.
A big hole was opened. The Japanese troops protected the commander and left in a hurry without caring about the others.
"Holy shit!" Xiao Houhou knew that the fish had escaped, but the remaining Japanese troops resisted desperately, and he could not catch up with the fleeing Japanese lieutenant colonel.
At the temporary headquarters of the South City Gate, Meng Da received good news. The Imperial Association Army surrendered and most of the Japanese army lost their fighting spirit and fled from the North Gate. He shouted to Yu'er: "Quick, let the civilians enter the city now.
Get the supplies out as soon as possible."
"yes!"
There was sudden gunfire in Anqing City, and the Japanese headquarters in Nanjing and Shanghai did not know that the city had been breached. Nagai, who had escaped from the north gate, was rejoicing when he found that he had jumped into another encirclement. He was desperate, and he
If the artillery and other troops are left in Anqing City, even if they escape, they will be sent to a military court when they return.
"Emperor, I can no longer be loyal to you!" When Nagai was about to commit suicide by caesarean section, a thunder and lightning made him tremble. However, his eyes saw a puddle, and he jumped into it in a blink of an eye. He was happy.
While he was there, the corpse of a Japanese soldier pressed down on him.
The independent division quickly annihilated the Japanese troops who escaped from the city, but Liu Tai was stunned. It was clear that all the enemies were missing, but the body of the regiment leader could not be found. He did not bother to clean the battlefield in detail and hurriedly led the soldiers towards another ambush point.
March forward. After Anqing is captured, their independent division and the 11th Preliminary Division must do their best to block the Japanese reinforcements and free up two days for the migrant workers transporting supplies.
"Report, the ammunition depot has been captured intact."
"Report, the Japanese warehouse has been controlled."
"Report, all the supplies from the Japanese merchants have been obtained!"
The news of good fortune came one after another, and Mengda didn't know what to do. The people entering the city had already gone to various places, and people were noisy and busy rushing for luck. He sighed and sat on the tower: "If there is a good
Just be the logistics director."
"Pfft!" Wang Yun'er couldn't help but snicker, pushed Zhang Shun and whispered: "He is worried."
"Who is not worried?" Zhang Shun glared at Wang Yun'er in a mature way. There was a constant flow of people, horses, horses, and people on the city tower. Everyone had only one wish: to send the supplies across the river first. Ma Zhanhe was sweating profusely at the gate of the city, directing the people who came and went.
People come in and out.
"Will someone steal something?" Wang Yun'er saw that Zhang Shun didn't agree with her, so she had to go to Meng Da to find something to say.
"Steal it, as long as you don't give it to little devils." It was a dark night and it was raining heavily, and Mengda didn't have the energy to be so strict.
"No one can steal it!" Mazhanhe walked up, picked up a bowl of water and drank it all in one gulp. He pointed to the outside of the city and said, "There are guard posts along the way. Anyone who dares to steal our supplies will risk their lives.
"
"Forget it." Meng Da shook his head: "Tell the civilian team that we will not treat you badly. As long as we send the supplies diligently, we will get five yuan a day!"
"Five yuan per person?" Mazhanhe was startled: "Commander, it takes two days to transport more than 30,000 migrant workers. Do you know how many yuan it is?"
"Ah!" Meng Da smiled bitterly: "My mind is already confused."
