    At the beginning of this year, Little Japan withdrew 400,000 troops from various battlefields in Northeast China, North China, and Central China, and invested them in the battlefields of Henan, Hunan, and Guangxi, and launched the mainland opening campaign codenamed Operation No. 1. As a result, the national army in each theater was defeated like a mountain.  More than 600,000 troops were lost and more than 400,000 square kilometers of land were lost.  However, as the strength of the Japanese troops in various battlefields in North China, Shandong, Central China and East China became weaker, the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army, which had been operating on the battlefields behind enemy lines, ushered in the opportunity to counterattack. Starting in June and July, the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army launched local campaigns.  Counterattack.  The Seventh Division of the New Fourth Army also responded to the call of the Party Central Committee and launched a counterattack against Little Japan in southern Anhui, and achieved great results. The biggest result was the recovery of Qingyang County. After the recovery of Qingyang County, He Keqi took him  The headquarters of the 7th Division moved to the county seat.  It is indeed very ironic to say that the National Army, which has always prided itself as the main force in the Anti-Japanese War, has been losing troops and territory. Even until Japan was already in decline, it was still able to defeat the National Army on the frontal battlefield and capture large areas of Henan, Hunan, Guangxi and other provinces.  Chinese territory.  However, the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army, which had been slandered by the Kuomintang as loitering but not attacking, launched more than 100,000 counterattacks in the 33rd year of the Republic of China, destroyed more than 1,000 Japanese and puppet military strongholds, liberated more than 100 county towns, and liberated the fallen areas.  There are more than 10 million people in the district.  It is precisely because the contrast between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party is so strong that the public sentiment in the vast occupied areas tilted overwhelmingly towards the Communist side. Later, in the decisive battle at Huaihai that determined the fate of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, the people of the Central Plains who stood firmly on the side of the Communist Party forcefully used  The wheelbarrow pushed the Kuomintang to destruction, but pushed the Communist Party to the position of the ruling party. As the old saying goes, he who wins the hearts of the people wins the world, and this makes sense.  Closer to home, He Keqi and Shu Tongwen received intelligence that the three main divisions of Huang Baitao's Army were being mobilized frequently in Jing County. Among them, Chen Shizhang's 40th Division was moving towards the junction of Jing County and Qingyang County. This was obviously aimed at their first division.  The Seventh Division came.  "Awen, Chen Shizhang's arrival is not good, and good people will never come." He Keqi said.  Shu Tongwen said: "I think Huang Baitao is a drunkard who doesn't care about drinking. He covets Qingyang County in vain. His real intention is to attempt to annex Longkou County and incorporate the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army." He Keqi said: "I think so too.  , But having said that, we still can't take it lightly. Huang Baitao's 3rd Army is not what it used to be, especially Chen Shizhang's 40th Division, which has just been equipped with fine art equipment. The American howitzers equipped by the artillery regiment, good guy, really  It¡¯s so tempting.¡± ¡°Old He, you don¡¯t need to be greedy for them.¡± Shu Tongwen smiled and continued, ¡°Sooner or later, the artillery regiment of the 40th Division belongs to us.¡± ¡°Haha, I love hearing this.  "Listen." He Keqi laughed.  Shu Tongwen added: "However, the first thing we need to consider at this stage is how to keep the Second Brigade of the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army and how to defend Longkou County." "The enemy, Longkou County must not be given to the Kuomintang." He Keqi said  .  The value of Longkou County lies not in the county itself, but in the arsenal in the county. After three years of construction, the arsenal built by Xu Shijiu in Longkou County has reached a considerable scale, and currently has more than a dozen  A workshop with more than 200 machines and more than 100 technicians, including a dozen engineers from the anti-war alliance who instigated rebellion from Little Japan.  With the depletion of human resources in Little Japan, domestic industrial workers and intellectuals were forced to take up arms and go to the battlefield. Unexpectedly, they benefited the Chinese. These industrial workers and intellectuals in Little Japan are not like the original ones.  The Japanese soldiers were so fanatical that once captured, they would easily choose to surrender. Most of the more than 100 technicians at the Longkou Arsenal were Japanese.  Up to now, the Longkou Arsenal is not only able to repair almost all ordnance, reloading bullets and artillery shells, but also has the ability to produce mortars. However, because the quality of the steel produced in the small blast furnace is not up to standard, it is easy to produce mortars.  But for the Chinese army, which lacks artillery, even a mortar that is easy to explode is still an artillery piece and a rare good piece of equipment.  While the two were discussing, Shu Tongwen's guard Wang Xiaomao suddenly came in and reported: "Two chiefs, a telegram has just been sent from Longkou, saying that Commander Xu has woken up." "What, Xu Shijiu is awake?  "He Keqi was a little stunned when he heard this.  "Thank God, Lao Xu finally woke up." Shu Tongwen couldn't help but sigh.  He Keqi curled his lips and said with a wry smile: "Good guy, we don't have to work anymore, and Huang Baitao's work is all in vain. Hehe, Gu Zhutong and Huang Baitao may be scolding each other now." "They are just talking,  With the captain here, who dares to act recklessly?" Shu Tongwen said as he took off the armed belt from the wall and tied it around his waist, then turned and walked out.  He Keqi then asked: "Hey Awen, where are you going?" "I have to go to Longkou quickly to see our captain." Shu ?As he spoke, Wen had already walked to the door, turned around, and said to He Keqi, "Earlier, the captain was unconscious, and you didn't let me go to Longkou. Now that our captain is awake, you have to let me go and see him, right?"  ?¡± (Dividing Line) Back at the headquarters, Xu Shijiu was in a good mood.  Listening to what Ye Ruxue and Liu Dagong said, his coma this time was actually extremely dangerous. In the words of a military doctor, the chance of waking up was less than 10%, but he still woke up. In other words, during this period, he  He snatched it from the Lord of Hell.  " Moreover, it is not too late to wake up. After all, the First Brigade and the Second Brigade have not started fighting yet.  Thinking of the joy, Xu Jiujiu couldn't help but raise his head and laugh. However, Gao Shenxing and Li Zihan, who followed Xu Jiujiu into the war room, laughed so confused that they couldn't help but look at each other.  He glanced at it, but secretly thought in his heart, could Lao Xu have lost his mind?  Thinking about it, if anyone has a bullet in his head, anything can happen.  At that moment, Gao Shenxing stepped forward and asked with concern: "Old Xu, are you okay? Do you want Dr. Liu to come and take a look at you?" "Go, what can I do for you?" Xu Shijiu said  "I'm fine now." After saying that, Xu Shijiu walked to the north wall and opened the curtain, revealing the map underneath.  Although he miraculously woke up this time, no one can guarantee when he will be in coma again. Maybe half a year later, maybe tomorrow, and if he is in coma again this time, I am afraid there is not even a 1% chance of waking up.  All gone.  Therefore, Xu Jiujiu has an unprecedented sense of urgency. Yes, every remaining day must be treated as the last day of his life. If he has to die tomorrow, the one thing Xu Jiujiu wants to do most is to recover Chizhou. Now  , in the entire southern Anhui, only the two county towns of Chizhou and Tongling and a few large outlying strongholds were left. Even Qingyang County was liberated by the New Fourth Army. Xu Shijiu, as the commander of the 19th Detachment of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui,  , and he does not expect to regain the entire Central China region. What he wants to do most is to regain Chizhou and the entire southern Anhui Province before leaving this world. Tongling County has become the target of Huang Baitao's army, not to mention that it is still separated from Longkou.  Qingyang and Jingxian counties, and Tongling County obviously cannot compare with Chizhou, so Xu Shijiu never regarded Tongling County as his goal. In Xu Shijiu's eyes, Chizhou was the only one he looked at.  Chizhou and the surrounding strongholds of Guichi, Guanqian, Maya, Jinfeng, Juanqiao, and Yunguang Temple are already Little Japan's last territories in southern Anhui. Xu Shijiu has reason to worry that if he doesn't take action, he may  There was no soup left to drink, because the New Fourth Army had already launched a tentative counterattack against Chizhou after regaining Qingyang County.  Although the current New Fourth Army does not have the ability to attack large and medium-sized cities like Chizhou, Xu Shijiu still has a sense of urgency.  Seeing Xu Jiujiu staring at Chizhou without speaking for a long time, Gao Shenxing guessed his thoughts and asked: "Old Xu, do you want to attack Chizhou?" Xu Jiujiu neither admitted nor denied, and asked Gao Shenxing: "  Lao Gao, has Little Japan's UR Division returned? "During the Battle of Henan, Hunan and Guangxi, Little Japan mobilized a large number of Japanese troops from the battlefields in North and Central China, and the Little Japan UR Division stationed in Jiujiang and Chizhou was also transferred to Changchun.  Heng battlefield, and then participated in the Liugui battle. Until Xu Shijiu fell into coma, he had not returned to southern Anhui.  At that time, the defense of the Japanese army in southern Anhui was at its weakest. Xu Shijiu was preparing to plan a major counterattack. When he was recovering Chizhou, he suddenly fell into a coma. When Xu Shijiu fell into coma, the conflict between the Communist and Communist factions within the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui suddenly broke out.  , the plan for a major counterattack was stillborn.  Gao Shenxing said: "Old Xu, we have no chance. The Japanese UR Division is back." "That's not necessarily true. Even if the Japanese UR Division comes back, we may not have a chance." Xu Shijiu disagreed.  The ground shook his head.  If it were in the past, with an entire field division of Little Japan, even if it was a B division expanded from the original independent mixed 14th Brigade, Xu Jiujiu would probably not easily be able to fight against a large and medium-sized army like Chizhou.  The city's idea, but now, Xu Shijiu has a sense of urgency to seize the day.
