    "What, what did you say? Say it again," Cao Xiang, the chief of staff of the First Army, held the microphone and asked repeatedly, with a look of extreme surprise on his face.  Huang Baitao remained calm, staring at Cao Xiang without saying a word.  I don't know what was said on the other end of the phone. Cao Xiang immediately put down the phone and said to Huang Baitao: "Military seat, Yuqiao and Guanqian Town have lost contact. The 40th Division headquarters was suddenly attacked by Little Japan. The 75th Division  And on the other side of the 10th, a large group of Japanese troops were also seen fighting fiercely. "Yuqiao and Guanqian Town lost contact?" Huang Baitao's brows twisted into knots in an instant.  Cao Xiang nodded and said in a deep voice: "Military seat, the future of the 40th Division is not good. Look" "Immediately transfer the special agent battalion directly under the military headquarters. We must protect the artillery regiment of the 40th Division no matter what." Huang Baitao  The order was issued immediately. The artillery regiment of the 40th Division was the only artillery regiment of the First Army, and it was a beautiful artillery piece that had just been replaced. This was a treasure.  If this precious baby is destroyed by little Japan, not only will the ability of the First Army be greatly reduced, but Gu Zhutong and Chairman Chiang probably won¡¯t be able to spare him either. He, as the commander of the army, will be finished. ¡°Yes,¡± Cao Xiang agreed, and hurriedly  He turned around and gave the order.  "Yoshikawa Kifang, Yoshikawa Kifang" Huang Baitao hurriedly walked to the map again, looked at the map, and fell into deep thought. Originally, Huang Baitao just wanted to use Little Japan's hand to teach Chen Shizhang a lesson. Because in the past two years, Chen Shizhang gradually  He began to become arrogant and no longer looked down upon him as a military commander.  Precisely because of this, Huang Baitao did not decisively stop the 40th Division from advancing, and allowed the 40th Division to continue to capture Yuqiao after occupying Guanqian Town.  Huang Baitao originally thought that even if Yoshikawa Yoshihiro committed the main force of the UR Division to launch a counterattack, the 40th Division would be able to last at least one day with the strong fortifications built by Xiao Nippon. This day would be enough for the 7th and 10th Divisions.  Pei came to support from both wings.  By concentrating the forces of three divisions, although Huang Baitao cannot say that he will definitely be able to defeat the Little Japanese UR Division, at least a stalemate is not a problem. After all, the current Japanese army is no longer the Japanese army seven years ago, and his  The First Army is no longer the First Army seven years ago.  What's more, once the Japanese UR Division devotes all its forces to a decisive battle with the Japanese Army, how can Xu Shijiu's Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui and the New Fourth Army in southern Anhui be vegetarians?  However, now, the situation seems to be somewhat out of control.  For some unknown reason, Little Japan suddenly appeared behind Guanqian Town and directly launched a surprise attack on the headquarters of the 40th Division. The artillery position of the 40th Division Artillery Regiment was not far away.  Japan seized the artillery position and destroyed the artillery regiment Huang Baitao didn't dare to think about it anymore, hoping it was still too late (dividing line) The advance of the special agent battalion directly under the 3rd Army was quite timely, and he finally got there before Little Japan came over.  We arrived at the artillery position of the 40th Division. However, the retreat of the artillery regiment took time. The artillery weighing several tons would not have long legs to run back on its own and needed to be towed by trucks.  The artillery regiment had a limited number of trucks, and the local road conditions were poor. Because it was dark, and the small Japanese soldiers were pressing down on the border, the officers and soldiers of the artillery regiment were inevitably in a hurry. As a result, they became busier and made more mistakes. There were several trucks pulling cannons.  They all rolled to the ground, blocking a temporary simple road.  There is no other way, so the secret service battalion can only resist desperately.  The fierce fighting continued until dawn, and the special agent battalion directly under the First Army suffered almost all casualties.  Fortunately, at this time, the 75th Division and the main force of the 10th Pei finally came in with reinforcements from the left and right wings and launched an attack on Little Japan from both wings. The remnants of the 40th Division, which had been defeated from the front line, were finally organized.  The fortifications built in advance by the artillery regiment stubbornly blocked the attack.  The situation was temporarily in a stalemate, and Huang Baitao finally discovered that he still underestimated the fighting power of Little Japan.  Compared with two years ago, Japan's combat effectiveness has indeed been significantly reduced. However, this does not mean that they do not have the ability to fight, nor does it mean that the combat effectiveness of the national army has exceeded that of the Japanese army. In any case,  The Japanese army still maintained a strong psychological advantage when facing the Chinese army.  The two sides were in a stalemate until noon the next day. Old Japanese Yoshikawa Kif¨­ suddenly sent an infantry brigade from the left wing to the rear of the Third Army in an attempt to cut off the connection between the Third Army and Tongling. The 10th Pei on the left wing of the Third Army immediately wavered, and the front line was blocked.  The situation is dangerous.  (Dividing line) Gu Zhutong was furious in his department.  "This Huang Baitao, how many times have I told him not to act rashly, not to act rashly, but he just won't listen. He just won't listen. Now he's fine. Has he caused trouble? Even if Japan is declining, there is still a gap in the Chinese battlefield.  How can an army of more than one million be trivial? " Zhang Wenqing stood aside, secretly happy in his heart. Of course, Zhang Wenqing would not have a good impression of Huang Baitao who replaced him as the commander of the First Army.?It was said that the whole thing was caused by Xu Jiujiu, and Xu Jiujiu could only be blamed. It seemed that Huang Baitao could not be blamed, but Zhang Wenqing felt unhappy.  What's more, once Huang Baitao makes a mistake and is dismissed, then Zhang Wenqing will have another chance.  Of course, Zhang Wenqing would never show it on his face. He pretended to be worried and said: "Chief Commander, the situation faced by the First Army is not good now. This old devil Yoshikawa is really not easy to mess with. How about a detour?"  If the infantry brigade behind the 3rd Army is lost, the consequences will be disastrous. " "Eating the infantry brigade behind the 3rd Army?" Gu Zhutong snorted, "That's easy to say, but the question is where will the reinforcements come from?  Zhu Tong really had no troops to mobilize. The national army was defeated on the battlefield of Henan, Hunan and Guangxi. The loss of troops was as high as more than 600,000. The troops in each theater became tense. Gu Zhutong's third theater had no troops.  Directly participating in the Battle of Henan, Hunan and Guangxi, the losses were not great, but in order to fill holes in the First, Second, Second, Fifth and Ninth Theaters, Chairman Chiang transferred a lot of main troops from the Third Theater.  Now, the strength of the three theaters has been reduced to the lowest limit since the Sino-Japanese War broke out. The total number of all the troops is only more than 100,000, but they are responsible for several directions such as southern Anhui, southern Jiangsu, western Zhejiang, western Fujian, and northern Guangdong.  Gu Zhutong's defense was already stretched and embarrassed. Where could he find the extra troops to send to rescue Huang Baitao's army?  Zhang Wenqing smiled bitterly and said: "Commander, no matter how tight the troops are, we will still be saved. In any case, the 40th Division is the first art weapon division in our third theater. If it fails in the Chizhou battlefield, if the commander gets in front of the old man, I'm afraid  Isn¡¯t it difficult to explain?¡± Gu Zhutong¡¯s brows instantly knitted into a knot.  Zhang Wenqing is right. The 40th Division was the first art technician to change uniforms in the Third Theater Zone. Gu Zhutong spent a lot of time and effort to get it from Chairman Chiang. How long did it take?  If he is really defeated on the Chizhou battlefield, Chairman Chiang will definitely be furious.  "Chief Commander, why don't you despise yourself and rush over with Yupei?" Zhang Wenqing said.  Prepei was just formed after most of the main forces in the third war zone were transferred. It didn't have much combat capability at all. Zhang Wenqing didn't have any good intentions when he volunteered. His intention was actually to add insult to injury and consolidate the ground where Huang Baitao lost his division.  He returned to the army to clear the way.  However, Gu Zhutong did not adopt Zhang Wenqing's suggestion and said: "Pre-prediction? Forget it. When you arrive in Chizhou with the pre-prediction, it will be good if there are still a thousand people left among the 9,000 people."  Zhang Wenqing closed his mouth with some scorn, thinking that Gu Zhutong had seen through his mind.  Gu Zhutong gritted his teeth and said: "At this point, there is no other way but to ask for help from the Wannan Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. I hope Xu Shijiu can take national justice into consideration and lend a helping hand to the First Army." (Partition)  Line) Longxugou stronghold, the frontline headquarters of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui.  Xu Jiujiu strode into the communication room and asked Ye Ruxue: "Director Ye, what is the specific situation?" Ye Ruxue put down the code book, handed Xu Jiujiu the copy of the telegram that had just been translated, and said: "  The 4th Peiyu was counterattacked by the Japanese early this morning. For some unknown reason, the Guanqian Town and Yuqiao positions that had just been recovered yesterday were immediately lost, and the 40th Division collapsed" "What? The 40th Division has collapsed?  "Damn it, just one art weapon master is gone? What a bunch of losers" "Damn it, the art weapons and equipment of this division are going to be given to our Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, and we will definitely be able to defeat Japan.  What a waste, what a waste. " Upon hearing that the 40th Division had collapsed, Gao Shenxing, Li Zihan, Li Shuangqiang and other senior generals of the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army were immediately furious.  By this time, Xu Jiujiu had already finished reading the telegram.  There were two telegrams, one was an order sent by Gu Zhutong in the name of the War Zone Commander's Department, and the other was sent by Huang Baitao, asking Xu Shijiu to give him a hand for the sake of the party and the state.  Xu Jiujiu had no sense of belonging to the Kuomintang and could even be said to hate it deeply. Therefore, it was absolutely impossible for him to help Huang Baitao for the sake of the party and the state. However, Xu Jiujiu still decided to send troops.  No matter what, the First Army is China¡¯s anti-Japanese armed force and all friendly forces. Seeing the anti-Japanese friendly forces being eaten by the little Japanese, Xu Shijiu couldn¡¯t get over this psychological hurdle.  Putting down the telegram, Xu Jiujiu immediately turned around and walked out. As he walked, he also ordered Liu Daguou: "Immediately summon all officers above the regiment for a meeting." Gao Shenxing and Li Zihan also followed him out, discussing at the same time.  "Zihan, what am I talking about? Little Japan is definitely not that bad. You still insist on fighting. Let me tell you now. The 40th Division underestimated the enemy and rushed forward. It really suffered a big loss, right?" "Okay,  As far as you can, your calculations are better than Zhuge Liang¡¯s.¡± ¡°Zihan, don¡¯t be dissatisfied.His vision is better than yours.  "Until they entered the conference room, the two of them were still arguing fiercely.
