Beacon starts from the departure of a strong man

Chapter 418 The Sichuan Army suffered a huge loss

Yu Hua looked at Wan Guoguang: "Magistrate Wan, do you think I believe this?!"

Wan Guoguang said coldly: "Adjutant Yu, you are also a member of the military. You know that we often tamper with food, weapons and equipment internally. This is normal!"

"The grain and grass are out of the warehouse, and the top is pulled down a little bit, and it is deducted layer by layer. When it comes to me, there is not much left."

County Magistrate Wan acted as if what I said was true, and he deliberately said that it was a routine operation in the army of the Republic of China.

Yu Hua focused his gaze, "County Wan, if you fool other people with your words, you may really succeed, but it doesn't work for me."

Why Yu Hua didn't believe it? First of all, the Sichuan Army's 22nd Army was specially invited by the Jinling High Command in the Wuhan battle.

Chang Kaishen had worn out his lips, and after discussing with Deng Xihou and Pan Wenhua for a long time, he transferred the 22nd Army Group from the Fifth Theater to the Ninth Theater.

As for the food, ammunition, weapons and equipment that the Sichuan Army requested, Chang Kaishen did it on a special basis and met all the requirements of the Sichuan Army.

Therefore, Wan Guoguang said that the food and grass of the independent brigade were deducted by the people above. Yu Hua, this is 1 people who don’t believe it.

The military command in Hankou must have been ordered by Director Dai to strictly export grain and grass from the warehouse, and there must be no corruption.

Regarding the orders of Director Dai and Principal Chang, Hankou was strict and no one would dare to disobey them. Only in Yangqing County, Wan Guoguang must have been corrupted secretly.

Wan Guoguang felt that the mountains in Yangqing County were far away from the emperor, and he was the number one leader. In addition, this place was about to become the front line, as long as he operated it, he could completely pocket his own money.

Yu Hua shouted: "Major Wan, to tell you the truth, I am very close to Director Dai. When the grain and grass were exported from Hankou, there was no shortage of food. Moreover, I witnessed it with my own eyes."

"It's only one stop from Hankou to Yangqing County. Now you say that the people above are corrupt, so you're fucking lying!"

"You'd better spit out the food and grass for me, otherwise the gun in my hand will not recognize anyone."

Yu Hua's words were full of gunpowder, and he didn't want to talk to Wan Guoguang now, so he just made it clear.

When Wan Guoguang heard this, his heart trembled, but he still said stubbornly, "You said you are familiar with Director Dai, you are a fucking liar."

"Who doesn't know that your Sichuan army is now at odds with the Juntong, and even bombed the 'low-key club' in Hankou. Director Dai was so angry that your Sichuan army disrupted his deployment."

"Now come and tell me, you are familiar with Director Dai. Do you think I am a fool?"

Yu Hua was too lazy to talk nonsense, "Come here!"

Immediately afterwards, Wei Dayong and others rushed into the house, and under Yu Hua's signal, directly tied up County Magistrate Wan.

The county magistrate Wan wanted to resist at first, but Wei Dayong put his gun down, and the county magistrate Wan was completely honest.

On the contrary, the secretary of County Mayor Wan quietly slipped away from the dog hole after seeing the Sichuan army's use of force, and then began to come to the military command stronghold to report the situation to Director Dai in Hankou, preparing to use the Jinling Command to suppress the Sichuan army.

First of all, in this Yangqing County, there are not many people in the Juntong, and the weapons are all shell guns. The Sichuan Army has a brigade, and the Juntong must not be able to outnumber the Sichuan Army in terms of numbers.

Hankou!

Director Dai cursed angrily after receiving the telegram from Yangqing County.

However, Director Dai understood that it must be Wan Guoguang who was greedy for the food and grass of the Sichuan army, otherwise the Sichuan army would not take the initiative to cause trouble.

Director Dai has been dealing with the Sichuan Army for so long, and he has a better understanding of the temperament of the Sichuan Army. During the war, the Sichuan Army will not take the initiative to provoke troubles as long as the military pay, food, weapons and equipment are in place.

Director Dai asked someone to call back, scolded Wan Guoguang, and asked him to prepare the food and grass for the Sichuan army as soon as possible, otherwise he would be shot directly and executed on the charges of corruption and bribery and delaying the military situation.

After Wan Guoguang's secretary received the call back from Director Dai, he was almost shocked. He didn't expect that Juntong would now stand on the side of the Sichuan Army.

At this time, Yu Hua led the team to the military supply depot, preparing to take over the place directly and replenish food and grass for his troops.

Teams of soldiers from the Sichuan army with live ammunition arrived, and the battalion commander who was guarding the munitions depot was frightened. Is this a robbery? !
Standing behind a bunker, the battalion commander shouted to the Sichuan army, "This place is a military important place, and there is no order to approach."

"Go any further, and I'm going to shoot."

Yu Hua didn't bother to care about it, and directly sent the troops to light and heavy machines, grenade launchers, mortars, and Type [-] infantry artillery.

The battalion commander guarding the military supply depot has never seen such a big battle. The Sichuan army is armed with machine guns and cannons.

He only had a few broken guns in his hand, and not many light and heavy machine guns. When some soldiers saw such a big movement by the Sichuan army, they all looked at the battalion commander.

"Battal Commander, are we going to fight now?"

"If this fire starts, we must be the weak side!"

Yu Hua asked Liu Changqing to say that the Sichuan army was only here to collect their own food and grass. As long as the soldiers guarding the military supply depot move out of the way, the Sichuan army will not embarrass everyone.

Just as the battalion commander of the military supply depot was fighting, Wan Guoguang's secretary hurried over, shouting, "Don't move the gun, don't move the gun..."

Yu Hua glanced at Wan Guoguang's secretary, "Dayong, you can't do things well."

"You let this secretary go."

Wei Dayong lowered his head, "I was wrong, old sir, I assure you, there will be no next time."

Under Yu Hua's signal, Wan Guoguang's secretary came to him: "Adjutant Yu, I have received orders from Chief Dai, all of this is a misunderstanding..."

Yu Hua ordered Wan Guoguang to be escorted up, and Lao Wan trembled with fright when he heard his secretary's words.

He quickly softened to Yu Hua, "Adjutant Yu, I was wrong, please forgive me."

"The villain has eyes but doesn't know Mount Tai. He ate a bear's heart and a leopard's gall, and charged you."

At this moment, Wan Guoguang knelt down in front of Yu Hua with tears streaming down his face.

"That's enough... that's enough... You still get me the food and grass, I will leave tonight, as long as the food and grass are in place, your dog's life will be saved."

"I understand...understand..." Saying that, Wan Guoguang looked at his secretary: "Take my warrant, and you go and transport the food we have hidden here."

After Wan Guoguang's secretary got the warrant, he took his own troops and started to work. After about two hours, the food and grass for the independent brigade was ready.

After the inventory was correct, Yu Hua signed the list, and he looked at Wan Guoguang, "County Wan, our Sichuan Army was transferred from the Fifth War Zone to the Ninth War Zone after repeated requests from Principal Chang."

"Use your brain, the people above didn't dare to cheat, but you dare to do it. Our Sichuan Army is defending the front line of Anqing. I don't want such a situation to happen again." you understand?!"

County Magistrate Wan's head was like a chicken pecking at rice, "I understand you little one, don't worry, Adjutant Yu, this kind of thing will never happen again."

Wan Guoguang wiped the sweat from his forehead.

At night, the Independent Brigade left Yangqing County with its food and grass, and marched towards Anqing.

At this time, Anqing's front line defense was a regiment of the 27th Army.

With Yu Hua's reminder, Anqing's method has been strengthened a lot this time.

On the city tower, soldiers of the 27th Group Army were patrolling, and the vanguard of the Japanese Botian Detachment was observing Anqing's defense outside the city.

At the same time, the Japanese Third Fleet also drove a group of ships to the river outside Anqing City, and the long muzzles were already aimed at Anqing City.

Masao Ono, the squadron leader of the vanguard, recorded the situation of his investigation, and then came to the detachment leader Hata Shigeichi.

"Your Excellency, Captain, according to our investigation, the Sichuan army has stepped up its defense."

With that said, Masao Ono came to the map, "Detachment Captain, here, here, and here, based on the number of mules and horses entering and leaving from the Sichuan Army, I suspect that these places are where the Sichuan Army stores supplies."

"This courtyard in the northeast corner is very suitable for setting up artillery positions. According to the internal investigation in the city, it was found that there were signs of Sichuan Army artillery activities in this courtyard."

"Yo Xi!" Bo Tianzhong smiled happily. After detecting so many situations, he was able to use artillery fire to destroy the supplies and artillery positions of the Sichuan Army.

After everything was ready, Hata Shigeichi issued an attack order to each wing to attack Anqing at three o'clock in the morning.

This is the first battle of Hata Shigeichi, and he must win the prize. When the Central China Front Army issued a statement to the outside world, a reporter interviewed Hata Shigeichi.

But he put down his cruel words: "Although my detachment is a brigade-level reinforced detachment, its strength is enough to match an elite division of the Imperial Army. In this expedition, I will use the dead bodies of Chinese soldiers to prove it all."

The Botian detachment used the radio to contact the Third Fleet on the river and asked the fleet to provide firepower assistance.

When the time came to three o'clock in the morning, the artillery unit of the Botian detachment, coupled with the naval guns of the Third Fleet, aimed at Anqing City.

"Boom!——"

At three o'clock in the morning, the artillery roared. Although the Sichuan Army in Anqing City strengthened its defense, they did not expect the elite Japanese army to come so quickly.

The regiment headquarters of the Sichuan Army defending Anqing City, Commander Chu is now in a mess, because judging from the phone calls from various troops, all the supplies and artillery units of his regiment have been blown up by the Japanese army.

This time the Japanese army attacked, the Sichuan army suffered a big loss.Head Chu tried his best to gather troops and strengthen defense in response to the Japanese attack on Anqing.

And at this time, a phone call came into the regiment headquarters, "I'm Chu Ming."

"What?" Chu Ming's face changed drastically, "The airport outside Anqing has fallen. What did the 26th Army do? The airport is such an important location, and now it has fallen."

The front line of Anqing is defended by the 27th Army of the Sichuan Army, and the front line from Lu'an, Huoshan to the periphery of Anqing is defended by Xu Yuanquan's 26th Army.

Now the airport outside Anqing was captured by the Japanese army so quickly, which really made Chu Ming very angry. The 26th Army was defeated so quickly, which put his troops in crisis.

Moreover, when Xu Yuanquan's troops were defeated, he did not notify the Sichuan army and allowed the Japanese army to penetrate into Anqing from the gap between the two armies. No wonder the Japs attacked Anqing so quickly.

Xu Yuanquan's 26th Army Group shouldered most of the responsibility.Now Chu Ming also deeply understands why Adjutant Yu resented the fact that the Sichuan army was divided and used by the war zone before, and he was afraid of such a situation.

The friendly army was defeated or ran away, and they didn't even notify themselves, and suddenly fell into the siege of the Japanese army.Chu Ming made up his mind that if he survived the Anqing defense battle, he would report to the theater headquarters and give Xu Yuanquan's 26th Army eye drops.

"Signal Corps!" Chu Ming shouted, "Send my order and all units will switch to street fighting and wait for the arrival of Adjutant Yu's troops."

After Chu Ming gave the order, the whole regiment resolutely carried it out; the Hata detachment got in touch with Inaba Shiro, who led the Sixth Division and successfully defeated Xu Yuanquan's 26th Army and captured the airport outside Anqing.

Now the two armies can encircle Anqing and take this important strategic location.

"Yoxi!" Bo Tianzhong laughed all over his face.The Sixth Division under Shiro Inaba's command attacked so quickly, and the pressure on Anqing's defenders increased. Hata Shigeichi was confident that he would charge and take Anqing by himself.

"Order the [-]st Infantry Regiment of the Bayan Garrison to attack Anqing City for me. We must make the defenders feel the empire's military power."

The First Infantry Regiment of the Potian Detachment attacked Anqing City after the artillery fire stopped.

After Chu Ming ordered the troops to enter the city to fight street battles, the first battalion of the Botian detachment easily captured the city gate, successfully entered Anqing, and at the same time announced the good news to Botian Shigeichi.

After getting the news, the old devil, Hata Shigeichi, flew up happily. This is a lucky start!However, bad news came immediately after, and the troops entering the city were stubbornly blocked by the Sichuan army.

According to the news sent back by the frontline troops, Hata Shigeichi knew that this was a new type of street fighting adopted by the Sichuan army, and the Japanese army conducted in-depth research on this street fighting.

Now we can also find a countermeasure. Under the command of Shigeichi Hatada, the first infantry unit on the front line quickly adjusted its strategy, and the fight was much easier.

At [-] o'clock in the morning, Yu Hua's troops were still [-] kilometers away from Anqing. However, news came from the frontline troops that Anqing was besieged by the Japanese army. Anqing.

A quarter of the entire city of Anqing has now fallen into the hands of the Japanese army, and the Chu Ming Regiment in the city has suffered a bit of a loss.

"Old Yu, our army must solve the siege of Anqing now!"

"This little devil came too fast. A division of the Japanese army appeared in Anqing so soon. Somehow, the troops in front retreated in one night."

Yu Hua looked at Liu Changqing: "I understand the truth, but if we drag all 4000 people from our brigade to Anqing and fight against the Japanese army, we will only suffer a loss."

"This is a loss-making business. Our brigade has just come down from Xuzhou, and the combat effectiveness of the troops is still recovering. When we were taken to Anqing, we were beaten violently by 3 to [-] Japanese troops."

"If you don't go to Anqing, Anqing won't last for three days just relying on Chuming's reinforced regiment!" Liu Changqing sighed: "Especially now that the Japanese army has responded to our Sichuan army's new street fighting."

"Chu Ming's troops stood firm all night, and now Anqing City has let the Japanese army stand for a quarter. If the fight continues, I am afraid that Chu Ming will not be able to hold on, and half of the city will fall into the hands of the Japanese army."

Yu Hua pondered for a while, and when he was thinking of a countermeasure, suddenly, there was a noise between the security forces outside.

"What happened?"

A staff officer came in front of Yu Hua, "Sir, our security forces have found several suspicious people, and they are interrogating them now."

The people outside shouted that they are ordinary people, not spies, and they want to meet the army commander.
