    For more than a month after that, the huge battle between the Chinese and Japanese armies in the Xuzhou area of ??the Central Plains was in full swing.  The Chinese side deployed 64 divisions and three brigades of about 600,000 people, while the Japanese army mobilized eight divisions, three brigades, and two detachments of about 240,000 people, and launched successive attacks in the area centered on Taierzhuang.  In the fight, the Japanese army aimed to capture Xuzhou, an important place in the Central Plains, then take Zhengzhou along the Longhai Railway to the west, and then seize Wuhan along the Pinghan Railway to the south, while the Chinese army, under the command of Li Zongren, held on to Xuzhou to ensure the security of the gateway to the Central Plains.  The New Second Army began to carry out frequent raids in the Japanese-occupied areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, effectively supporting the Chinese army in the fifth theater.  On March 23, Li Yong's team successfully attacked the Japanese grain requisition team in Caojiagou, south of Langxi.  On March 25, Lei Chi's team cooperated with a regiment of the New Fourth Army to overthrow a large Japanese stronghold in Guquan Town, northwest of Xuancheng, annihilating more than 150 Japanese troops and more than 200 puppet troops, and capturing 400 prisoners.  Many puppet troops.  After negotiation, the Lei Chi Squadron received some supplies and reported to the Northward Detachment Headquarters for approval before expanding the number to the Central Detachment. On March 27, Deqing County was attacked by the Eastward Detachment of the New Second Army. The officers and soldiers of the Baihua Squadron who entered the city killed the Japanese soldiers.  Lieutenant Commander Hirota Ichiro, who was left behind, also eliminated Chen Buhai, a traitor from Deqing who had defected to the Japanese, and killed and wounded more than 400 Japanese and puppet troops.  After Baihua Squadron plundered all the Japanese military supplies, they escaped from Deqing County and escaped into the nearby mountains before Japanese reinforcements arrived.  In the early morning of April 1, the Zhang Yang Squadron of the Northward Detachment of the New Second Army attacked the Beijing-Shanghai Railway line from Danyang to Zhenjiang, causing the Japanese army's special train transporting weapons and equipment to derail.  On the same day, with the cooperation of officers and soldiers from two battalions of the New Fourth Army, the Eastward Detachment of the New Second Army eliminated a Japanese railway squadron in Chang'an Town along the Shanghai-Hangzhou-Ningbo Railway. Subsequently, the two armies worked together to plunder a large number of arms stored in the railway station material warehouse.  Yu Jing.  By the time the large Japanese troops stationed at Kip Shek arrived, the New Second Army had been broken into pieces and scattered into the countryside.  On April 5, the New Second Army went deep into Li Xiang's squadron in the Pinghu area of ??eastern Zhejiang and concentrated four squads to annihilate several Japanese food requisition squads.  In the early morning of April 8, the Zhao Long Squadron of the New Second Army, with the cooperation of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Rangers of the Secret Service, launched an artillery bombardment at a Japanese stronghold in the area south of Wujiang on the east bank of Taihu Lake. When the Japanese troops rushed out, the New Second Army and the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Rangers suddenly killed each other.  went out and successfully annihilated a Japanese squadron by relying on their superior strength In just over half a month, bursts of gunpowder smoke suddenly rose in the Japanese-occupied area south of the Yangtze River. The officers and soldiers of the New Second Army were everywhere, like ghosts, appearing in unexpected places by the Japanese army, fighting  Changing one place with one shot made the Japanese army, which was stretched thin, exhausted.  Under this situation, most of the Japanese troops huddled in the cities and no longer dared to easily go to the countryside to rob and requisition food.  Nanjing, Japanese Army Central China Front Headquarters.  Tian Junliu, who received emergency telegrams from various places, was furious. He only read a few of them, threw a thick stack of telegrams directly into the face of the confidential section chief, and roared: "What's going on? Why are there suddenly so many distress telegrams?  What happened to the fearless Imperial Army of Japan? The harassment of a small group of troops has made us a messBaga, it is so abominable." In the fury of Tian Junroku, all the generals did not dare to speak.  Can turn his eyes for help to Lieutenant General Okamura Neiji, commander of the Eleventh Army.  At this point, getting angry can't solve any problems. Okamura Neiji walked to Tian Shunroku and gently advised: "Commander, according to the analysis of the intelligence department, the Chinese army active in the Jiangnan area mainly consists of three parts. They are special agents.  "The Jiangsu-Zhejiang Task Force and the New Second Army and the New Fourth Army's small units earlier cooperated with the Chinese army on the Songhu front line to retreat, but most of them were wiped out by our imperial army. The New Fourth Army has just emerged from the ravine and has yet to form a combat force.  It will take time, so the only ones that can pose a threat to our Imperial Japanese Army in a short period of time are the New Second Army. They¡ª¡ª" "Okay, Okamura-kun, don't say anything anymore" "Temori Shunroku said sullenly, rudely.  Interrupting Okamura Neiji's words, he turned his gaze to Lieutenant Commander Urawa Jiro, the commander of the front army's intelligence section, who was huddled in a corner of the conference room, and said coldly: "Urawa-kun, is this how you guide the intelligence department?" "Hai¡ª¡ª"  Lieutenant Colonel Urawa, the head of the Intelligence Section, immediately stood up and bowed, trying to suppress his panic.  "As early as when the first attack occurred, I said that you must find out the movements of the Chinese army. Now half a month has passed and you have only found out their identities. You really dishonor the trust of His Majesty the Emperor. You should have a caesarean section  Apologize." Tian Junliu's face was ashen.  "What? You want me to have a caesarean section?" Lieutenant Commander Urawa couldn't care less about what happened next, and stared at Den Junroku, extremely shocked.  "Hai" &nbs Tian Junliu didn't bother to look at him, waved his hand to the confidential secretary, and said: "Turn on the radio and tune to Phoenix Broadcasting Station"p; The confidential secretary quickly turned on the radio button and selected the stage. A high-pitched chorus of "March of the Volunteers" came from the radio speakers, and the impassioned voice oscillated back and forth in the conference room.  As the powerful music ended, a passionate voice came out: "Friends listening in front of the radio, dear compatriots, now our country's blood is flowing everywhere from north to south, and the Japanese devils are robbing  Our homeland, slaughtering our brothers, harming our sisters Wherever there is oppression, there is resistance. Now it is time for us to liquidate the blood debt of the Japanese invaders. " "General Wu Ming, the famous anti-Japanese general, has sent the New Second Army to penetrate into Japan.  Since the successful sneak attack on the Japanese grain requisition team in Langxi on March 23, the officers and soldiers of the New Second Second Army have launched hundreds of attacks on the Japanese and puppet troops, killing and wounding more than 2,000 Japanese troops and annihilating the puppet troops.  More than 8,000 people, a powerful blow to the arrogance of the Japanese army, and a huge deterrent to the traitors and traitors. " "After General Wu Ming issued the order to march into the Japanese-occupied areas, the officers and soldiers of the New Second Army were like soldiers from heaven, and they rescued one after another.  A compatriot. Many people praise General Wu Ming as the White Tiger Star in the sky who descended to earth, saying that he is the reincarnation of Yue Wu Mu Qi Shaobao, who specializes in fighting Japanese devils. However, I want to point out here that General Wu Ming is not a star who descended to earth, nor is he an officer or soldier of the New Second Army.  "They are not heavenly soldiers and generals, they are ordinary people with flesh and blood and their own emotions." "In order to defeat the Japanese invaders, ensure that our people will not be burned, killed, and robbed, and in order to let the people live a good life, the officers and soldiers of the New Second Army fought against the Japanese devils without hesitation.  Counterattack. According to the latest statistics, since participating in the Battle of Songhu, the New Second Army has killed more than 12,400 people and seriously injured more than 18,900 people Many officers and soldiers have scars.  He is the most lovable person of this era. ¡°We, the staff of Phoenix Radio, advocate that all conscientious citizens should help the New Second Army and have the duty to cover their attacks, retreats and transfers, because they are responsible for the safety of our lives and property.  They don¡¯t allow the Japanese to hurt us, and we don¡¯t allow the Japanese to hurt them" Junroku Teng stepped forward to turn off the radio, narrowed his eyes to a slit, stared at Colonel Urawa and said coldly: "Urawa-kun  , As the head of the Intelligence Section, you have an unshirkable responsibility for the robbery of food and weapons and equipment on the Beijing-Shanghai and Shanghai-Hangzhou-Ningbo Railways You'd better have a caesarean section and take it down with you." "Your Excellency, Commander¡ª¡ª" Lieutenant Colonel Urawa resisted with all his strength.  , but was still forcibly taken away by the guards.  Weapons, equipment and food supplies on the Beijing-Shanghai and Shanghai-Hangzhou-Ningbo railways were robbed, which directly affected the offensive of the Central China Front in the southern section of the Xuzhou Battle. Since the intelligence department did not provide early warning, Lieutenant Colonel Urawa must be held responsible for this.  After Lieutenant Colonel Urawa was taken away, the conference room became quieter and quieter, and no one dared to speak.  Tian Junliu slowly turned his attention to the direction of Quzhou on the map, and felt fierce in his heart - Wu Ming, your happy days are coming to an end. As soon as domestic reinforcements arrive, you and your new second army will enter the grave together.  When Tian Junliu and other Japanese generals were listening to the radio, Wu Ming, the commander of the New Second Army at Fenghuang Mountain Base, also led the military generals to listen to the radio. Compared with the gloom and gloom of the Japanese army, they were in high spirits. If they didn't have work in the afternoon, they would have wanted to get one.  A bottle of white wine comes with a few glasses to celebrate.  "Military seat, I have a question" Dai Ziran approached Wu Ming and asked puzzledly: "Where did Zhao Long's squadron get its infantry artillery? How dare they bombard the Japanese garrison? Even with Dai Li's Jiangsu and Zhejiang  It's impossible for the Rangers to support you." "Ask him, he arranged it." Wu Ming laughed and pointed at Zhang Dongning.  "Chief of Staff, where do you think the infantry artillery came from?" Dai Ziran asked Zhang Dongning.  "It's very simple." Zhang Dongning smiled and waved his hand: "At first, the army asked me to lead the baggage and artillery troops first. Because we seized too much ordnance and supplies in the Japanese warehouse of Jinshan Guards, and the Japs were too eager to pursue us, there was really no way.  , I assigned people to break up some infantry cannons, wrap them in oil paper, and bury them at selected locations. This time, our troops who went deep into the enemy rear dug out the infantry cannons buried in the ground and used them. " "Haha, use Japanese soldiers.  The infantry cannonballed the Japanese, and the result was good." Dai Ziran clapped his hands and laughed, and everyone started laughing.  "Okay." Wu Ming interrupted everyone's laughter and took out a telegram: "Everyone, the troops that are entering the battlefield behind enemy lines have completed a new round of expansion. The team of 1,500 people a month and a half ago is now almost  It has expanded to four thousand people, more than doubled. "Is it expanding so fast?" Long Shaogang was a little surprised.  "Yes, since participating in the Battle of Songhu, our New Second Army has gone through all the battles and has been polished into an iron army. It has a high reputation among the people. The common people praise it. After being bullied by the Japanese, young people have actively joined the army.  So we have no shortage of soldiers at all¡±   Wu Ming took a breath and continued: "In the Japanese-occupied areas, many ordinary people risked the death of their entire families to hide our officers and soldiers, cover their whereabouts, and even gave us a small amount of food They  They are the food and clothing parents of our New Second Army. If we don¡¯t fight the Japanese devils well, we would be very sorry to them.¡± ¡°Since there is no shortage of soldiers, should we send more troops into the occupied areas to further expand the scope of the guerrilla zones and defeat the Japanese devils?¡±  Is it going to turn upside down?" Dai Ziran suggested.  "This is not possible." Wu Ming shook his head and then explained: "I have said before that it is okay for a small group of troops to rely on fellow villagers for supplies. If there are more people, there will be problems with food and ammunition. In addition, Japan is currently expanding its military, and their troops  Once trained, they will be sent to China. After Xuzhou and Wuhan are eliminated, our western Zhejiang will become a key target for the Japanese army. " "The current main task is to speed up the training speed, increase the intensity of training, and guard the front lines in Lin'an, Fuyang, and Xiaoshan.  The Japanese troops behind enemy lines can speed up the construction of guerrilla areas and base areas in order to contain more enemies. With the development speed of the troops behind enemy lines, they can play a greater role.  Nowadays, patriotic young people all over the country like to join our New Second Army. In the Japanese-occupied areas, Dai Li's Jiangsu and Zhejiang Special Forces can hardly recruit anyone. They can only rely on Du Yuesheng's face to recruit some gang members to build up their appearance." Zhang Dongning squinted his eyes and said.  Like a fox eating grapes.
