From three o'clock in the afternoon to five thirty in the evening, the battle lasted for a full two and a half hours. After paying a heavy price, the Wannan Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army finally made the first breakthrough on the right wing. The remaining five soldiers of the 4th Squadron of the 56th Independent Infantry Brigade More than ten Japanese soldiers were wiped out by Sun Laobao's company in the last wave of hand-to-hand combat, but Sun Laobao's company was beaten down to only six people. When Sun Laobao picked the last young Japanese officer to death on the spot, he couldn't even stand still. Sun Laobao was not injured, but his physical strength was severely exhausted. Fighting with a bayonet was too exhausting. After the 4th Infantry Squadron of the 56th Independent Infantry Brigade was completely wiped out, two squadrons of the Chizhou Japanese Military Police and a battalion of the puppet army were finally shaken. The puppet troops huddled at the rear collapsed first, and then the two squadrons of the gendarmerie also lost their fighting spirit and began to retreat hastily towards Chizhou. Peng Wu finally waited for the signal to attack. Although there was only less than half an hour left before dark, Peng Wu was still very excited. For the cavalry, almost an hour was enough, enough for them to kill all the puppet soldiers and Japanese military police who had lost their fighting spirit. Peng Wu immediately got on his horse, raised the Snow Maple Sword in his hand high, and shouted: "The cavalry battalion charge with me." "Ah" "Ah" "Ah" More than two hundred cavalrymen showed their swords with long and narrow blades and gleaming cold blades. Maple Knife, then howled like a wild beast, each one howling until their faces were red and their necks were thick. For the army, howling is a channel for emotional release. It is also an effective means to gather military morale, enhance confidence and at the same time frighten the enemy. A troop has a combat effectiveness. The stronger, the louder the howl. The next moment, Peng Wu pressed Xuefeng Dao forward, and more than two hundred cavalry behind him came out of the woods. First, they opened a slightly messy front in the wilderness, and then Gradually began to accelerate, first trotting, then trotting, and finally sprinting at top speed. More than 900 iron hooves hit the ground heavily, making a dull sound, like thunder in the sky, which could shatter everyone's eardrums. This kind of power is no less than that of thousands of troops charging in a group. Compared with the real lethality, the visual shock to the enemy is more terrifying. Soon, the cavalry passed the chasing infantry and caught up with them. During the pursuit of the escaping Japanese and puppet troops, the cavalry on horseback could easily identify the Japanese and puppet troops. Although they all wore khaki military uniforms like the Wannan Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, the Japanese soldiers all wore steel helmets. They ran away wearing steel gray or steel helmets, and they also had eye-catching strips of cloth on the back of their military caps. In an instant, Peng Wu had caught up with a Japanese soldier, holding a high Xuefeng sword. Then it fell down. With the strong inertia of the horse's sprint, Peng Wu didn't even exert much force. He just slashed lightly and completely cut off the Japanese soldier's head, and the head with a ferocious look fell to the ground. On the ground, the headless body still ran forward several steps under the influence of inertia before finally falling slumped on the battlefield. A ray of setting sun shone through the clouds, shining on the headless corpse. The blood spurting out from the broken neck instantly dyed the gravel ground beneath him red, and the head that had lost its body fell not far away, standing upright, looking at its own body with empty eyes. , especially showing the cruelty of the battlefield. (Dividing line) When Xu Shijiu and Huang Baitao appeared on the battlefield under the protection of the guards from both sides, the battle was already over, and the various troops involved in the battle were already cleaning up the battlefield. From time to time, cavalrymen from the cavalry battalion directly under the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in Southern Anhui came galloping over on tall horses. From these cavalrymen, one could easily feel the sharpness, just like a sword that had just been sharpened on a whetstone. However, sharpening The sword is sharpened by the whetstone, but the blood of the little Japanese is what sharpens the cavalry. Huang Baitao turned around and looked at each other, and both of them saw a trace of helplessness in the other's eyes. This contest ended with the complete defeat of the First Army. Although there was only one Japanese infantry squadron opposite the 118th Regiment, because the Japanese army occupied a small piece of high ground and relied on this highland to build a tight cross-fire network, the 118th Regiment was unable to completely annihilate them until the end. Share the Japanese army. In the end, the 1st Regiment of the Wannan Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, after annihilating the Japanese troops in the middle and right wing, detached a battalion to cooperate with the 118th Regiment to launch a strong attack, and finally captured the high ground and annihilated this group of Japanese troops who were stubbornly resisting. So, seeing The battlefield was strewn with corpses of Japanese and puppet troops. Huang Baitao didn't even bother to count the number of enemies killed by both sides. He immediately said to Xu Shijiu: "Commander Xu, I am willing to admit defeat. We have lost this battle. This time We will leave a batch of military supplies to you. You can send someone to receive it." After saying that, Huang Baitao turned around and left. He felt that he was too embarrassed to stay here any longer. However, after taking a few steps, Huang Baitao still turned around and said: "As for the distribution of supplies, you can give them as you see.When the time comes, I will send someone to Longkou County to pick it up. "Watching Huang Baitao and Chen Shizhang go away, Xu Jiujiu smiled slightly. Gao Shen walked over and sneered: "Huang Baitao is quite sensible. I thought he should deny it anyway, but I didn't expect to admit defeat so happily. , and handed over the military supplies so quickly, but speaking of it, this is not like Gu's usual style, which is too surprising. " Li Zihan had just come over and took off his helmet immediately and said: "Lao Gao, don't think so of Huang Junzuo. In fact, Commander Gu is not as unbearable as you think. He" "Gu Wishing you the same? "Gao Shenxing said, "Don't put gold on his face. " "Lao Gao, you are prejudiced. "Li Zihan said, "Yes, from the perspective of our Wannan Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army, some of his actions are indeed not very kind, but if you change your perspective and consider it from his standpoint, the conclusion you draw will be completely different. Different, no matter what, he is the commander-in-chief of the third theater after all. " "Precisely because he is the commander-in-chief of the Third War Zone, some of his actions are chilling. " "Okay, you two are noisy and noisy again, are you tired? Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel again, Xu Shijiu quickly intervened and interrupted it, and then told Shu Tongwen, "Awen, I can only leave it to you to transport the supplies. I will ask you again when the supplies are transported back to Longkou." "Go to Zuixianlou and have a good meal." "Captain, don't worry. "Shu Tongwen said, "I have already contacted the Wannan Provincial Committee. The Wannan Provincial Committee has also instructed the Qingyang County Committee and the Longkou County Committee to form a transportation team. If nothing else happens, in two hours, the two counties will be ready. The transport team should be here, and the supplies will definitely be able to leave Niutouzui before midnight tonight at the latest. " Xu Shijiu calculated the time. The 13th independent mixed brigade reinforced from Hefei will not be able to cross the Yangtze River until dawn tomorrow. As for the 57th independent infantry brigade reinforced from Jiujiang, the main force of the Japanese army in Chizhou Under the premise that they were basically annihilated, it was basically impossible to attack again. Therefore, the time for transporting supplies was completely sufficient. It was only at this time that Xu Jiujiu was in the mood to care about things outside the battlefield. Ru Xue called to the front and asked: "Director Ye, I asked you to investigate the affairs of the Longkou Democratic Government who were very close to Liu Chang. Have you made any breakthroughs?" "Ye Ruxue spread her hands and said with a wry smile: "Commander, I am here all the time, how can I care about the other side? " "You see, I became confused as soon as this battle started. "Xu Jiujiu patted his forehead and said with a smile, "However, I still have to trouble Director Ye to rush back to Longkou as soon as possible to get to the bottom of this matter. "Liu Chang is like a time bomb. If it is not dismantled, Xu Shijiu will feel unhappy. "What is particularly annoying is that you cannot forcibly dismantle this bomb, otherwise it will easily cause political disputes. Ye Ruxue felt bitter after hearing this. She looked at Xu Jiujiu resentfully and said, "Commander, you really don't feel sorry for me. " Xu Shijiu quickly made amends: "When this case is found out, I will definitely give you leave and let you have a good rest for a few days. " "And the basketball staff. Gao Shen walked over and said, "This guy obviously came with bad intentions. Just because he failed last time doesn't mean he will give up. I'm sure he will sneak into Longkou and wait for an opportunity to assassinate Lao Xu and Director Ye. This time You can't let this guy go like last time. " The smile on Ye Ruxue's pretty face disappeared instantly. She completely agreed with Gao Shenxing's judgment. That Staff Officer Lan must have come with the mission of assassinating Xu Jiujiu. It is absolutely impossible for him to do so before he achieves his goal. Stop, because the military commander has strict and almost cruel discipline, and failure to complete the task will be cruelly punished.
