Shangguan Zhibiao followed Zhou Weiguo's order and led two battalions of troops to escort the supplies and move toward Tianchang Town.
Tianchang Town is still in the hands of the 111th Division at this time. Once Shangguan Zhibiao's troops arrive at Tianchang Town, they will be safe.

But the little Japs obviously didn't want Shangguan Zhibiao to take the people away. They wanted to eat Shangguan Zhibiao's baggage troops in one bite.
It's a pity that although they have this idea, they have almost no troops to mobilize.
Honda was very scratching his head and found Taro Aso to discuss countermeasures.
Taro Aso said unceremoniously: "The staff officers in the headquarters are stupid. They know clearly that this plan is not feasible, but they still let us implement it. If Yangzhou falls, let him fall. As long as we can stop Duanwu and prevent him from going to Tianchang County
, even if he lost all the supplies, was it still within the control of the imperial army?
But it's good now. The Yangzhou defenders have almost arrived at the scheduled location, and they are rushing back and rushing back in vain. It is simply stupid."
"Aso-kun, complaining now is useless. Let's consider how to intercept the independent group here. Even if it's just a part of it, I don't think our headquarters will say anything."
Honda is an experienced person. Although he was thinking the same thing as Taro Aso, he still tried his best to suppress it.
Taro Aso is still young, but he does not regret what he said just now. Even now in front of the staff of the headquarters, he dares to say the same thing, but this order is too stupid.
But at this time, he had to face reality, because their enemies were about to escape. He did not have the strength to pursue the enemy's baggage troops, because they had to face at least two battalions of independent regiments, including those in the Yangzhou direction.
That mysterious army led by Duanwu himself.
Not many people in this unit have seen them, and it should be said that not many people are alive.
The riverside patrol was almost completely wiped out. The three people who fled back said that they had many enemies, which made Matsui Iwane think that they were crossing the river during the Dragon Boat Festival.
After that, the Dragon Boat Festival disappeared. After passing by the Tai'an Japanese, he easily captured Tai'an and completed the capture of the puppet cavalry.
By the time the Japanese soldiers from Tai'an returned to Tai'an, the Dragon Boat Festival had already arrived at Yangzhou City.
So I don’t know until now how many people there are during the Dragon Boat Festival.
As for the common people who had indeed seen the Dragon Boat Festival, but the Dragon Boat Festival gave them food and some even gave them money, would the common people betray him?
The Japs don't know what to ask, or they answer the Japs with a lot of answers.
It seems that everyone is accepting the situation, but in fact, my heart has long followed that Dragon Boat Festival chief.
Many people had no choice but to drag their families with them, otherwise they would have followed the Dragon Boat Festival to serve as soldiers to fight against the Japanese.
Of course, it's also because the conditions for recruiting soldiers during the Dragon Boat Festival are too harsh, requiring someone to have shot a gun or practiced martial arts.
How can these ordinary people understand this? On weekdays, they work from sunrise to sunset, doing all physical work. When they come home after a tiring day, they don't even want to touch their wives, and they still think about practicing martial arts?
So whether it is now or in the past, practicing martial arts requires a lot of money as support. And if you don’t have money, then just go work and make money!
So during the Dragon Boat Festival recruiting period, many people missed out, some because of family reasons, and some because of their own reasons.
But no matter what the reason is, their fighting spirit inspired by the Dragon Boat Festival is no longer content. They are like spring weeds, breaking through the ground in the ice and snow, and gradually begin to grow secretly.
And once spring really comes, it will be a scene full of vitality.
Therefore, the little devil could not have guessed that what they fought during the Dragon Boat Festival would not be their cities, but the fire seeds planted in these cities.
So in this case, how could those ordinary people tell the truth to the Japanese? And Taro Aso knew nothing about it.
Because even the Japanese who attacked the town didn't know how many people were there during the Dragon Boat Festival, Taro Aso could only guess.
And he guessed that there was a 90% chance that Dragon Boat Festival would come to the Fairy Temple. So it was precisely because of this that he said that the people in the headquarters were all idiots.
But now, it is very difficult for them to cope with the two-front battle at the same time, even the front line.
The Imperial Alliance Army had been almost exhausted in nearly an hour of fighting. The reason why they did not flee was because Taro Aso kept their leader by his side.
But even so, the Imperial Alliance Army was somewhat exhausted. Seeing so many people dead, they were timid and frightened. They no longer had the desire to survive by destroying the enemy as before.
The people who rushed in front were all dead. They didn't even reach the fifty meters in front of the enemy's formation.
The enemy's machine gun seemed to be filled with bullets no matter how hard it was fired, and kept clicking.
That kind of sound is like a message from the King of Hell or a reminder of death. As long as they hear that kind of chug, click, click sound, they will fall down in pieces.
So under the control of fear, those two Japs also gave up. The Japs asked them to charge, but they just lingered next to the corpses of their companions.
Faced with this situation, Taro Aso ignored it for the time being, because he had greater uses in the Imperial Alliance Army.
He wanted to use his only company of the Imperial Japanese Army and Honda One and Two to launch a suicide attack.
In other words, Taro Aso has already predicted the direction of this battle in the future. The Imperial Association Army will die, and Honda One and Two will also die. But he will not die. He will keep his life to be equal to Dragon Boat Festival.
A fight was a desire he had never had before.
"Senior Honda, my troops here are limited and I can only cooperate with you to fight. I will lead the Imperial Army to launch a sheep attack in the south of the Fairy Temple, and your troops will be the main force to rush into the Fairy Temple. We can only fight with the enemy.
In hand-to-hand combat, only by leveraging the strengths of the imperial soldiers can we have a chance of winning. Otherwise, if we let the independent regiment go, we will definitely be reprimanded by the superiors.
Of course, I was originally a staff officer, and I will stay at the brigade headquarters even if I am demoted, but you, senior?"
At this time, before Aso Taro finished speaking, Honda understood it instantly.
Because it is true that if there is accountability for this battle, many people may be demoted. Even if Taro Aso is demoted to Shaozuo, he can still stay in the brigade, and what about him? For a man over fifty, can it be said that
Do you want to lead a squadron or a small squad of imperial troops to charge?
"Aso-kun, I'll leave it to you on the southern front battlefield!"
Honda Kazuo salutes Taro Aso, and this salute will be his life.
It's just a pity that Aso Taro is far from as kind-hearted as he imagined. He just simply wants Honda One and Two to be cannon fodder! ...
