Perhaps no one knows who Han Fuju is better than Duan Wu. So when he asked the Northeast Army to escort these artillery pieces to Han Fuju, he told them to walk slower on the road, at least to give Li Zhongren time to stay in Zaozhuang, LY
Fight a battle with Taierzhuang, and then buy enough time for the Xuzhou battle.
In other words, Han Fuju did not have much hope for the Dragon Boat Festival. This veteran warlord still had an emperor's dream in his heart.
Of course, some people will feel aggrieved for Han Fuju, saying that Han Fuju never said he wanted to be emperor.
But if he had said this at that time, he would have become a target of public criticism.
Because just imagine, in that environment at that time, there were many warlords. Every warlord wanted to be the emperor and the president. But at this time, you said: You all should stop being the emperor. I should be the emperor. I can guarantee that,
No matter how powerful you are, you will be beaten to pieces by warlords from all sides.
So no matter how stupid Han Fuju is, he will not shout about his ambitions all over the world.
But he wants to be the emperor, and his presidential ambition has long been obvious.
During the Double Twelve Incident, when many parties called for the release of the Chairman, Han Fuju wrote the word "kill".
After the fall of Nanjing, he conspired with the Sichuan warlord Liu Xiang to seize central China and jointly overthrow Chiang Kai-shek.
Therefore, Han Fuju was unreliable. Duanwu was always worried that the cannon would fall into Han Fuju's hands, so he withdrew.
Therefore, Duanwu told the Northeastern Army to slow down a little and contact the headquarters of the fifth theater frequently. Once things change, the artillery can no longer be given to Han Fuju.
Because these artillery pieces were hard-earned, they were used to fight the Japanese, not given to Han Fuju to negotiate terms with the Japanese.
Han Fuju has always had an unclear relationship with the Japanese. Although he has not explicitly taken refuge with the Japanese, judging from his actions, at least he has reached some consensus with the Japanese.
So there are some things that we have to guard against during the Dragon Boat Festival.
But at this time, he did not have time to pay attention to Han Fuju, but wanted to find out the enemy routes in Huainan.
He left with the cavalry just to test Kitashirakawa Ai's reaction. Kitashirakawa Ai still had no intention of pursuing him. It was obvious that this little devil was competing for patience with Danwu.
Duanwu frowned slightly. It can also be said that he rarely frowns. Since time traveling, he has experienced countless big battles and small battles, but he has never encountered such a difficult opponent, not even the new generation of Japs.
None of the three heroes had ever given him such a headache.
The prince of the Japs is in Bengbu City, but he cannot come out, and the defense is tight and there are no loopholes.
Duanwu had observed Bengbu's city defense and found that everything from the city walls to the positions outside the city was impeccable. Otherwise, Duanwu would not have stayed outside the city and retreated without making any moves.
Because if they wanted to attack the city, they would not only suffer heavy casualties, but the city would not be able to be captured at all.
Judging from combat experience, if you want to attack a fortified city, you must have at least three times the number of troops to have a chance of winning.
But Duanwu does not have such troops, and their weapons and equipment do not have the conditions to siege the city. Duanwu does not want to see so many soldiers fighting the Japanese army under extremely unfavorable circumstances because they have no siege weapons. That is just a waste of soldiers.
It's just life.
Of course, Dragon Boat Festival is not to do nothing, but to take advantage of the mobility of the cavalry to make the little devil mistakenly believe that he has really gone to Ningyuan County to join up with the 114th Division of the 51st Army.
However, he will not go to Ningyuan County. There are so many Japanese in Bengbu. Although Dragon Boat Festival is not worried about them going to attack Xuzhou, Tang Jiujiu, the Independent Regiment, and the wounded and baggage of the 522nd Regiment are still more than 20 years away from Bengbu.
What about Liutaizi Village, which is 1.5 kilometers away?
The Japanese in Bengbu City may not go to attack Xuzhou, but if they sweep through the surrounding villages and towns, many people will die.
Therefore, the Dragon Boat Festival will not leave Bengbu, and Lu Jian's group and Wang Tong's group did not go too far.
The two teams walked to a position ten kilometers away from Bengbu, cut off their tails, and waited for the Dragon Boat Festival order.
At this time, Duanwu also led his troops to stop and joined Lu Jian's other regiment.
These Sichuan troops were very convinced of the Dragon Boat Festival, and they only waited for the Dragon Boat Festival's order to fight back to Bengbu.
Dragon Boat Festival looked at the sky, it was already noon, and ordered the soldiers to eat and wait for the fighter plane.
Chen Shusheng handed Duanwu a piece of compressed biscuit. This thing is very rare in various armies. But Duanwu's troops had everything. In addition to compressed biscuits, there were also two carts of cans of little devils.
But this time the expedition was in a hurry, and Chen Shusheng only brought compressed biscuits.
Dragon Boat Festival took the biscuit and chewed it in his mouth. But his mind was not on eating at all.
He then thought about his next plan, how to drive the Japanese in Bengbu into the wilderness with minimal casualties.
"Tanzuo, I rarely see you like this. Is it difficult to deal with the little devil this time?"
Chen Shusheng asked at this time, because he could see from Duanwu's facial expression that Duanwu was deep in thought.
This expression of contemplation rarely appears in Dragon Boat Festival. To ordinary Japanese, he is like an adult beating a child.
Therefore, such things as meditation rarely appeared in Duanwu. Chen Shusheng realized that this time the little devil might be difficult to deal with.
Duanwu did not deny it, but nodded subconsciously.
Chen Shusheng understood and did not dare to disturb Duanwu's thinking anymore, including Lao Abacus, who always talked a lot.
While eating compressed biscuits during the Dragon Boat Festival, my brain was thinking rapidly. Logically speaking, if the kid doesn't leave the city, he should go in by himself. But first, the city wall of Bengbu is very high, nearly 30 meters long, not to mention the thickness of the city wall.
I said it. As an important town in Huainan, it has also been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times.
In such a location, both the height and thickness of the city wall will be higher than those of ordinary town walls.
Therefore, there is no possibility of a strong attack. The total force that Dragon Boat Festival can mobilize is nearly four regiments, but the strength of the Japs will never be weaker than this number.
In other words, the strength of the two sides is almost equal, but the other side occupies the terrain, and a strong attack will suffer a lot.
As for the second point, Duanwu also thought about climbing up the city wall at night and killing the Japs on the wall, and then opening the city gate and entering the city to fight with the Japs in the streets.
But the question is whether the Kitashirakawa wash in the city will give him this opportunity. Based on the current cautious attitude of the Japs, Danwu guessed that at night, the Japs' precautions would be even tighter.
So now, the Dragon Boat Festival seems to be trapped in an endless loop. The Japanese occupy Bengbu City and cannot be deceived. They cannot attack by force, nor can they attack at night, unless they fly into Bengbu from the sky at night.
But is this possible? They don’t have a plane, so how can they parachute into Bengbu City?
