Yue Weihan said: "Zhankui, can you find this spy?"
"No need to look for it, I know who this spy is." Ma Zhankui said unexpectedly.
"Do you know?" Yue Weihan said solemnly, "Who is it?"
Ma Zhankui said: "It's the new Mrs. Yazhai whom Ma Daguai found."
"The woman with Ma Daguai?" Yue Weihan asked, "Why are you so sure?"
Ma Zhankui said: "The people in our regiment and the security camp did not take this road. Only the people from Ma Daguai took this road when they came. The gang of lake bandits under Ma Daguai cannot be the spies of the Japanese.
Therefore, this spy can only be Madame Yazhai, whom Ma Daguai has recently acquired. This woman is said to have fled from Shanghai, which is very suspicious in her own right."
Yue Weihan thought for a moment and said, "Zhankui, how confident are you in this matter?"
Ma Zhankui said: "I can't say I'm absolutely sure, but I'm still seventy percent sure."
"Okay, I know this, please don't make it public." Yue Weihan said, "Don't tell anyone."
"Don't worry, Commander." Ma Zhankui said, "I understand the importance."
"Okay." Yue Weihan patted Ma Zhankui on the shoulder and said, "Now you go find Hua Hanlin and ask him to send a few reliable soldiers to follow you. You go and rearrange these markers to lead the little devil to a fork in the road.
Go to the mountains in western Anhui and eventually lead them to Baimajian or even Tiantangzhai!"
"Master, I understand, then I'm going." Ma Zhankui clasped his fists, turned around and walked away.
…
Chaohu County, Joint Command.
The Chief of Staff of the 18th Division, Colonel Megumi Koto, walked into the war room with a heavy expression and said to Lieutenant General Ogisu Rihei and Lieutenant General Sadao Nakajima: "Your Excellency, so far, none of the search teams has found the whereabouts of the Hoyama Regiment.
"
"What?" Lieutenant General Ogisu Rihei said in a bad tone, "It's already dark, but you still haven't found anything?"
"This is impossible." Nakajima Sadao also frowned, "There is no way the Baoshan regiment can escape from our encirclement!"
Koto Megumi said: "Your Excellency General, I am sorry that the search teams did not find the whereabouts of the Baoshan Regiment. Judging from the current situation, the Chinese people may have jumped out of the encirclement before we completed the encirclement. Now, we only have
I’m waiting for news from Miss Yuko.”
"Report!" Colonel Kofuji Megumi finished speaking, and a communications staff officer rushed in to report, "Your Excellency, General, the rice field team responsible for contacting Miss Yuko sent back a telegram. They have found the mark left by Miss Yuko, and
Just following the mark."
"Yo Xi!" Lieutenant General Ogisu Rihei and Lieutenant General Nakajima Sadao suddenly became excited after hearing this.
"Order, the cavalry regiment and motorized infantry brigade stationed in Shucheng should set off immediately, and the other infantry regiments will follow in turn!" Lieutenant General Ogisu Tatehe immediately ordered.
…
Buhe River Bend.
Yue Weihan was hiding in the dense wormwood with Ma Daguai and others. There was a three-way intersection not far ahead.
Ma Daguai said unhappily: "Tuanzu, are you mistaken? How could my wife be a Japanese spy?"
"We'll know later whether we made a mistake or not." Yue Weihan said, "If I make a mistake, I will let her go and apologize to her in person. But if I make a mistake, brother Daguai, can you
Don’t be confused.”
"Don't worry about me," Ma Daguai said. "Although I, Ma Daguai, am lustful, I am not a brainless person. I will not forget my last name for the sake of a woman."
"Okay." Yue Weihan said, "Then let's wait and see."
"Hush..." Zhang Fengsheng said suddenly, "Someone is coming!"
Yue Weihan and Ma Daguai quickly silenced themselves and at the same time shrank their bodies into the thick wormwood bushes as much as possible.
In less than a moment, the sound of soft footsteps was heard from the northeast path, and soon dozens of black shadows appeared like ghosts. Under the cold moonlight, you could clearly see the shadows on their heads.
Wearing a steel helmet and neatly dressed in military uniform, who else could come if not a little devil?
Ma Daguai's face immediately became very embarrassed.
The team of little devils stopped immediately after reaching the three-way intersection.
Immediately, two people walked out. One of them turned on the flashlight and searched near the intersection. Soon, the two found the guide signs reserved near the intersection. Of course, these signs were no longer the original ones. Half an hour ago,
, Ma Zhankui has already changed the direction of all these marks.
Soon, the group of Japanese soldiers took the southwest branch.
About half an hour later, the chaotic sound of horse hooves came again from the direction the Japs had just come from. This time, there were no longer dozens of people, but at least a thousand people, and they were all cavalry, single file.
The column of cavalry stretched out for several miles, rushing past Yue Weihan and the others for more than ten minutes.
After the large group of Japanese cavalry passed by, Cao Xinglong suddenly said: "Regiment leader, this group of Japanese cavalry is only a cavalry regiment at most, with more than a thousand cavalry. With the strength of our regiment, we can completely eat them. Why don't we kill him?"
"
"No." Yue Weihan categorically shook his head and said, "It's easy to kill a little devil with a cavalry regiment, but the problem is that the little devil can't only have this cavalry regiment. If I'm not wrong, the road from Shucheng to Yuexi next to it must be still there.
There are Japanese motorized infantry following, and as soon as a fight starts here, the little Japanese over there will immediately outflank us."
"It's a pity that his grandma is a bear." Zhang Fengsheng said regretfully not far away, "If we can keep all these more than a thousand horses, our regiment can form a cavalry battalion."
"Cavalry battalion?" Yue Weihan nodded and said, "You don't need to feel sorry for me. I know you served as a cavalry company commander in the Northeast Army. I guarantee you that our Baoshan Regiment will have cavalry sooner or later, at least.
The cavalry company, or maybe the cavalry battalion, will let you be the commander of the cavalry battalion."
Zhang Fengsheng grinned and said nothing, but there was an uncontrollable look of anticipation in his eyes.
"Okay, let's not get stuck here. Now that the Japs' forward troops have been led to Baima Point by Zhankui and the others, the Japs' large forces will probably follow. Now is the time for us to get rid of the enemy.
Opportunity!" Yue Weihan said, stood up and said to Tang Dashan, "Immediately send an order to all battalions to turn west, let's go to Huoshan!"
…
Wuhan camp, Chairman Chiang's official residence.
Wang Shihe, the chief of the national guard, hurriedly walked into Chairman Chiang Kai-shek's office and said: "Commissioner, the Baoshan regiment is calling urgently!"
Chairman Jiang narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "What did Yue Weihan say?"
Wang Shihe said: "The Baoshan Regiment has uncovered the spies that the Japanese army used to infiltrate the interior, and set up a trap to lead the Japanese army to the mountainous area in western Anhui. However, I am still worried about the commission. Currently, there is only the Baoshan Regiment in central Anhui."
A force, but there are two main divisions of the Japanese army around them. If something goes wrong..."
Chairman Chiang was silent for a moment and then said: "How are the preparations for the Xuzhou battle?"
Wang Shihe said: "Preparations have been made for the Battle of Xuzhou. All units have entered the designated positions to hide and standby. Li Zongren has sent a telegram to Deng Xihou's 22nd Army to retreat to Hanzhuang, Pang Bingxun's Army to retreat to Taierzhuang, the 51st Army, the 59th Army and the 21st Army.
It has also returned to defend Bengbu, and the 114th Division of the 51st Army has also returned to defend Hefei."
Chairman Jiang's slightly narrowed eyes finally opened, and he said in a faint and authentic tone: "Now that the arrangements for the Xuzhou Battle have been completed, the mission of the Baoshan Regiment has also been completed, so there is no need to stick to the half-month deadline. Telegraph Li Zongren and let him
He can arrange it however he wants, and the Baoshan Regiment is now a unit of the fifth theater."
…
Xuzhou, Fifth Theater Headquarters.
Li Zongren handed the telegram in his hand to Bai Chongqi and said, "Jiansheng, what do you think of this telegram?"
After Bai Chongqi read the telegram, he immediately sneered: "Although Mr. Jiang said nicely and asked Mr. De to arrange whatever he wanted, even a three-year-old child could hear the implication. He clearly wanted Mr. De to take more care of him.
As for the Baoshan Regiment, if De Gong really sends the Baoshan Regiment to the front line to destroy all of them, Jiang will hate you for the rest of his life."
"Hahaha." Li Zongren said calmly, "Even without the Baoshan Group, Mr. Jiang would already have a grudge against me."
Bai Chongqi changed the subject and continued: "Gong De, but to be honest, this guy Yue Weihan is really a fierce general. Although the Baoshan Regiment is composed of a group of defeated soldiers, it is indeed a rare elite. I think it is better to let
They should rest and recuperate in Bengbu first. Keeping this elite force will always come in handy, I think."
Li Zongren nodded happily and said, "Jiansheng, I'm very pleased that you think so."
Bai Chongqi said with a slight shame: "Yes, I admit that I underestimated Yue Weihan before, but now I can see clearly that the reason why this boy is where he is today is not just luck! It would be someone else who would be Baoshan Tuantuan.
Commander, we can’t survive any battle, let alone completely annihilate opponents like the Kunisaki detachment!”
"Yes." Li Zongren said with emotion, "The Kunozaki detachment is composed of the 9th Brigade of the 5th Division. It is the elite of the 17 permanent divisions of the Japanese invaders, and it is also
It is equipped with a mountain artillery regiment, but just such a unit has allowed the Baoshan Regiment to be wiped out. It is not afraid of making fun of people. I still can't believe it even now."
"Who says it's not the case?" Bai Chongqi said a little sarcastically, "Because of the Guoqi detachment, I made a huge fool of myself in front of Jiang and a large number of senior officials of the party and state."
"Hahaha, okay, let's not talk about this anymore." Li Zongren waved his hand and said, "Jiansheng, you and I should be lucky that people like Yue Weihan are our compatriots, and we should be even more lucky that his Baoshan Regiment is now affiliated with the Fifth
In the battle sequence of the war zone, we are very fortunate to have such fierce generals and such elite troops. The Chinese people and the nation are very fortunate."
After saying that, Li Zongren turned back and ordered his adjutant: "Immediately send a report to the Baoshan Regiment. The deployment for the Xuzhou battle has been completed. The Baoshan Regiment's task of luring the enemy and blocking the enemy has been completed. Let them evacuate to Bengbu immediately to rest!"
