Beacon starts from the departure of a strong man

Chapter 428 The Imperial Navy comes to try

Ten minutes later, Shunroku Hata, Neji Okamura and others left the restaurant.In the restaurant, everyone has almost formulated the next policy.

Shiro Inaba who was at the airport also received the latest message from the Central China Front Army, which was that a brigade from the No. 11 Army was about to rush to the airport to assist.

"Yo Xi!"

Inaba Shiro shouted happily. Once this independent mixed brigade arrived, he would have more troops, so that he could expand the search range around the airport, find the main force of the Chinese army, and encircle and annihilate it.

At the same time, in a cave in a mountain, Yu Hua and Liu Changqing learned that Guo Xunqi and Rao Guohua, as well as the 28th Group Army of the Sichuan Army in the third theater, had sent a division to the Anqing area secretly.

"Great!" Yu Hua jumped up happily.

With the strength of three divisions, there are tens of thousands of troops. The Sixth Division of the Little Devils must be given some color.

"Lao Yu!" Liu Changqing came to Yu Hua's side excitedly: "Let's continue to fuck each other at this airport."

"Now that the follow-up troops are in place, we are no longer afraid of the Sixth Division. As for the Japanese Botian detachment in Anqing City, if they dare to rush to the airport to help, we will give him a grenade mixed with rice on the way. It will be delicious!"

For the three divisions, the Sichuan Army has the configuration of a Category A adjusted German weapons division, with 4000 men, and a total strength of more than 4. In addition to the independent brigade under Liu Changqing, the 26th Group Army Zhang Yungang strengthened the regiment.

The total strength is more than [-] men. With so many people, they can give the Sixth Division a good beating.

At night!

The newly formed 144th Division under Guo Xunqi, as the vanguard, has already connected with the independent brigade.

It was late at night, and the cars and mules and horses of the Sichuan Army were walking on the road. At a glance, there was no limit to the horizon. Since Guo Xunqi learned that the Independence Brigade was operating in this area, he directly led a pioneer battalion to take the lead.

Zhang Yungang learned that a large force of the Sichuan Army had arrived, and he shamelessly followed Liu Changqing, Yu Hua and others to greet the Sichuan Army's troops.

From the hillside, Zhang Yungang was startled when he saw the densely packed convoys and mules and horses of the Sichuan Army on the highway.

"My dear boy!"

Zhang Yungang exclaimed: "This Sichuan army is really too fat. The vanguard has so many cars and mules and horses."

"Brother Yu!" Guo Xunqi quickly ran out of the team, came to Yu Hua and gave him a bear hug: "Long time no see, I miss you so much!"

"Brother, I have been thinking about you day and night. Finally, we two brothers can fight the Japanese together again."

"We fought well on the shores of Taihu Lake before. This time in Wuhan, we will continue to create greater glory. Gods will kill gods, and Buddhas will kill Buddhas. Even if the old boy Jesus comes, we will stab him twice. "

Yu Hua struggled away from Guo Xunqi's arms: "Brother, you are hugging me too tightly. Let go quickly."

"If the Sichuan Army brothers see this, I'm afraid they will spread the news that your brother likes men. It doesn't matter if your reputation is ruined, but I have a wife."

Seeing Yu Hua joking, Guo Xunqi said: "Get lost!"

"You have a wife, don't I have a wife? When I got married, you were still playing in the mud!"

The generals of the Sichuan Army laughed when they saw Guo Xunqi and Yu Hua joking with each other. After all, such scenes are rare.

Zhang Yungang on the side saw the Sichuan army generals joking with each other and being very kind to their subordinates without any airs. This made Zhang Yungang feel more cordial and felt that the atmosphere of the Sichuan army was very good.

Immediately, Yu Hua began to arrange the people of the newly formed 144th Division. With so many people, they must be arranged as soon as possible, otherwise the Japanese planes will arrive after dawn, which will cause some trouble to the Sichuan army.

"Brother Yu!" Guo Xunqi came to Yu Hua's side: "Battle of Anqing, you should arrange more tasks for me, brother. Our division will execute according to your battle plan."

"Having been training troops in Sichuan Province for so long, my hands are already rusty. I must practice hard to fight the Japanese this time."

Inside the cave, Guo Xunqi looked at Yu Hua with a smile!

After staying in Sichuan Province for several months, Guo Xunqi thought about going to the battlefield every day and having a good fight with the Japs. He failed to do so in the Battle of Xuzhou. Now in the Battle of Wuhan, Deng Xihou and others finally asked him to lead the troops out of Sichuan. .

The newly formed 144th Division, a team carefully built by Guo Xunqi, must excel in the Battle of Wuhan.

Hearing this, Yu Hua nodded: "Brother Guo, don't worry, your division will definitely have to gnaw hard bones in this battle of Anqing, and I promise to satisfy you, but when the time comes, don't complain to me."

"Okay, okay..." Guo Xunqi said happily: "Brother Yu, I'm going to put my words here. If I, Guo Xunqi, say something bitter, I will twist off my own head!"

"Brother Yu, you don't know. I have no battles in Sichuan Province. I'm almost going crazy. Just watch this battle in Anqing. I'm not called Guo Mangzi for nothing."

In the Sichuan Army, Guo Xunqi had a nickname called Guo Mangzi, and of course, he was also called Guo Panda.

Speaking of Guo Panda, there is actually a little story, that is, a writer from the United States came to China for inspection at that time; Harrison Salisbury was very interested in the Long March of the Chinese Workers’ and Peasants’ Red Army and consulted a large number of information and wrote a book about the Long March.

In the book "The Long March - Unheard Stories", Harrison Salisbury introduced the Sichuan Army at that time, and praised Guo Xunqi for his good leadership and strict military management. In this regard, Harrison Salisbury Salisbury called Guo Xunqi the nickname Panda (giant panda).

This gave Guo Xunqi the title Guo Panda!

Regarding Guo Xunqi's speech, Yu Hua patted him on the shoulder: "Brother Guo, this is a war. As the coach, you must not go to the front line and operate machine guns to shoot at the Japanese troops."

"I will let the military police watch you when the time comes. As a commander, you must direct the troops to fight from your own headquarters."

Hearing this, Guo Xunqi's expression changed: "Brother Yu, is a general who doesn't charge a good general? You also know that I just like to lead troops and charge into the enemy's camp."

"It's not allowed!" Yu Hua's face was very stern: "You, a division commander, actually do the charge work of the company commander and battalion commander. As you can imagine, this is simply nonsense." "Brother Guo, you are here properly. Stay at the headquarters and let me command the troops properly. If you want to charge at that time, I will ask the military police to detain you and tie you up in the headquarters."

Among the Sichuan Army, Guo Xunqi and Rao Guohua's favorite job is to personally lead the charge and capture the enemy's positions.

Guo Xunqi had a smile on his face: "Brother Yu, please calm down. I said it casually. Don't take it seriously. I, Guo Xunqi, will definitely stay at the headquarters during the Anqing battle. This charge I will never do the job."

"You must not arrange for my new 144th Division to go elsewhere. I came all the way out of Sichuan just to fight the Japanese!"

Zhang Yungang on the side saw that Adjutant Yu of the Sichuan Army could easily control a general and division, which made Zhang Yungang's eyes almost fall out.

Adjutant Yu's influence seems to be quite large, especially in terms of campaign planning. The Sichuan army generals admire Adjutant Yu very much.

At the same time, Rao Guohua's troops immediately took the train to Anqing after disembarking in Hankou!
This time, when the Hankou Railway Transport Administration saw the Sichuan troops coming, everyone smiled happily, as if they were seeing the God of Wealth.

Song Wuming, director of the Hankou Railway Transport Administration, saw Rao Guohua and went directly to say hello: "Hello, Mr. Rao, I have arranged the trains. Five special trains will ensure that the Sichuan Army brothers can reach their destinations steadily."

Rao Guohua took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Song Wuming: "Director Song, things are well done. Our Sichuan Army will never treat you badly."

Song Wuming nodded and got close to Rao Guohua; Song Wuming had an old cousin who was the director of the Railway Transportation Administration during the Xuzhou Battle and had an affair with the Sichuan Army. The Sichuan Army used the railway to transport things back to Sichuan Province.

Song Wuming's old cousin told him that it was a pleasure to help the Sichuan Army with transportation. The Sichuan Army not only gave Dayang, but also arranged a small villa in Sichuan Province for his family to move to Sichuan Province and settle down. At the same time, the Sichuan Army also provided money on the train. The train conductors are in charge of the food.

Every three days, the conductors could still eat some meat, especially the Sichuan Army’s exclusive noodle dish, spicy beef instant noodles, which tasted very good and the conductors spoke highly of it after eating it.

Along the way, the Sichuan Army took care of the food, distributed cigarettes to everyone, and took great care of the train conductors and the people at the Railway Transport Administration. The Sichuan Army took care of everyone with all their heart, and spoke very politely without yelling.

This made many train drivers and conductors very happy. After working for so long, this was the first time they encountered troops who spoke so nicely.After this incident, people from the Xuzhou Railway Transportation Administration evacuated to Wuhan.

They all also praised the Sichuan Army for being able to handle affairs in Xuzhou, being very kind to the brothers in the Railway Bureau, speaking nicely, taking care of the food and even handing out cigarettes. They treated them as one of their own!

Therefore, as soon as Rao Guohua's division arrived in Hankou, Song Wuming's Railway Transport Administration learned that the Sichuan Army was going to reinforce the front line. Every train driver and conductor was excited, and everyone rushed to take over the task of the Sichuan Army.

Now that Wuhan is about to usher in a major battle, all trains are directly under military management. It is easy for a division of the Sichuan Army to dispatch a few trains.

The five special trains were now ready. After Rao Guohua and Song Wuming chatted for a while, he got on the train!

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"

The train whistled and drove into the distance!Song Wuming couldn't wait to return to his home, asked his wife to pack her things, and took the Minsheng Company's ship back to Sichuan Province overnight.

At present, the Minsheng Company controlled by the Xiao family is actively relocating people from the Wuhan area. Many people who want to enter Sichuan Province need ferry tickets. If you don't have a ticket, you have to queue up. Once you are in line, you can get on the boat.

Many military and political officials in the Wuhan area also knew that once the Japanese army attacked Wuhan with all their strength, the area would not be able to be defended. The best way was to evacuate Wuhan after a protracted battle, leaving an empty city for the Japanese.

As the rear area of ​​the southwest hinterland, Sichuan Province will become the next headquarters of the Republic of China government. The military and political officials of Jinling Headquarters and their families want to enter Sichuan Province. The fastest way is by water, so they must take the Minsheng Company. vessel.

The Minsheng Company controls the shipping in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River. Without Minsheng Company's nod, the shipping ships in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River would not dare to transport people without tickets to Sichuan Province.

Now Song Wuming helped the Sichuan Army do a good thing. Rao Guohua, on behalf of the Sichuan Army, gave Song Wuming several ship tickets so that Song Wuming's family could board the Minsheng Company's ship to enter Sichuan Province as soon as possible.

daytime!

Rao Guohua's troops were hiding in the mountains and forests, waiting for nightfall to quickly move towards Anqing City.In Anqing City, Hatada Shigeichi was furious because the Chu Ming Regiment of the Sichuan Army now relied on a quarter of the city to continue the imperial army's battle.

These days, the Japanese naval guns and the artillery units of the Botian detachment have carried out indiscriminate bombings on Anqing City. Iwo Jima, heavy bombs, all hit Anqing City, and the entire Anqing City was almost blown into ruins. .

However, the Sichuan army was like mice and could not finish the bombing. This made Juichi Hata feel a little tired.Every time he fought with the Sichuan Army in street battles, his detachment would lose many imperial warriors. After calculating these days.Namada Juichi came up with a ratio, that is, if the imperial army wanted to kill a Sichuan army, it would have to pay two to three people.

Due to the withdrawal of the Sixth Division, Anqing City was no longer surrounded by Japanese troops. A commando team from Yang Sen's 27th Army sent a large amount of supplies to the Chu Ming Regiment.

This greatly relieved the pressure on the Chu Ming Regiment, allowing the Sichuan army in the city to continue fighting the Japanese army.

Inside the headquarters of the Namada detachment, Namada Juichi looked at everyone: "Everyone, this battle cannot continue like this, otherwise the empire's detachment will be exhausted by the Sichuan army."

"If you have any ideas, please share them!"

The commander of the Japanese Marine Corps, Kaiichiro Kanzaki, stood up: "Major General Shigeichi Namada, I think we should let our naval gun launch special smoke into Anqing City to completely destroy the enemy's tenacious will."

The Marine Corps is also very frustrated these days. Even if you know how to break the new street fighting, you still need troops to fight for the buildings in the city and then send troops to garrison them.

After the Sixth Division withdrew, the Japanese army's strength was suddenly reduced by two-thirds. After entering the city, they had to garrison some buildings in the city, and their strength became even more dispersed.

In these days of fighting, the Japanese Marine Corps has completely lost the proud attitude they had when they first came ashore.

"Kanzaki-kun, this is not possible!" Namada Juichi stopped him: "According to the investigation of the Imperial High-tech Co., Ltd., the factory built by the Sichuan Army in Sichuan Province already has the ability to produce special cigarettes. Moreover, the Sichuan Army is now also a member of the Republic of China Army. An army complete with gas masks.”

"Deng Xihou and Pan Wenhua of the Sichuan-Kang Appeasement Office once publicly declared that if the imperial army used special cigarettes against the Sichuan army on the battlefield in China, the Sichuan army would retaliate."

Kaichiro Kanzaki frowned: "Major General Shigeichi Namada, special cigarettes are currently the key to solving our predicament. We really don't know whether the Sichuan Army really has special cigarettes, especially since the Chinese are very particular about deception."

"Perhaps the two top generals of the Sichuan Army are just scaring us. After the battle in Anqing City, we will let our Imperial Navy try to see whether the special cigarettes of the Sichuan Army are real or fake."
