After entering Hefei, the situation began to change somewhat.

It has almost reached Meng Shaoyuan's sphere of influence.

Hefei fell on May 14, 1938, and soon became the breadbasket of the Japanese army.

The resistance of Hefei ** was carried out in less than a day.

To be more precise, only a dozen hours.

Poor combat effectiveness is a factor.

The real reason was that the Japanese army had sufficient information before attacking Hefei that made people think about it.

And this information comes from the "Quanzhi of Chinese Province" compiled by the famous Japanese spy agency East Asia Tongbunkai.

This is a unique Chinese chronicle compiled by a foreigner. The twelfth volume is the Anhui Provincial Section.

There are 200,000 words about Hefei, which describes in detail the economic and social development of Hefei at that time, including population, economy, transportation, agriculture, industry, finance, commerce, import and export trade, etc.

That is, at the beginning of the war, Hefei had no secrets for the Japanese.

Intelligence work was vividly embodied in the Battle of Hefei.

The Japanese army also regarded Anhui Province as an important granary as Jiangsu Province.

Fight to feed the war.

This is a strategy that the Japanese have long been working out.

However, the resistance of the military and civilians of Anhui and Jiangsu to the Japanese army has never stopped.

The Kuomintang, the Communist Party, local armed forces, and popular organizations have always been frequently active behind enemy lines.

Meng Shaoyuan's previous strategy was to take Shanghai as the base camp and Jiangsu as the general base, and continue to penetrate into the surrounding provinces and cities.

Anhui, Zhejiang, Shandong and other provinces have long been active in the power of Meng Shao's original lineage.

In particular, the Battle of Wuhan and the upcoming Battle of Changsha caused Japan to draw a large number of troops from Anhui, Jiangsu and other places, resulting in the emptiness of local defenses and giving the armed forces behind enemy lines a great space for survival and development.

This period is also known as the period of rapid development of armed forces behind enemy lines.

The strategy of exchanging space for time has begun to bear fruit.

The Japanese army began to be overstretched.

Therefore, from 1938 onwards, more and more Taiwanese soldiers and North Korean soldiers began to appear on the battlefield.

The occupied area that was regarded by the Japanese army as the rear mainly relied on the puppet army, and then cooperated with a small number of Japanese troops.

Meng Shaoyuan arrived in Hefei with a group of children under such circumstances.

It was even more unexpected to come and greet him.

are the two great generals under him:

Kong Chuanbo, and Yuan Zhonghe, who was transferred to northern Jiangsu!

"District Chief Meng!"

As soon as he saw these two people, Meng Shaoyuan was stunned: "Why are you here?" ”

Yuan Zhonghe is one of the "Seven Tigers of Military Command", Meng Shaoyuan's elder brother, and it is naturally more convenient to speak: "Wu Jingyi called from above, and sent a secret telegram to each of us detachment leaders, saying that you are going to pass by, I have to hear this, if you hurt a little fur, we don't want to live, I don't worry about sending others, I have to bring someone myself." ”

Kong Chuanbo doesn't need to say much.

His life was saved by Meng Shaoyuan, and Meng Shaoyuan entrusted him with important tasks and became a feudal official, and he didn't know how grateful he was to Meng Shaoyuan.

As soon as he heard that Meng Shaoyuan was in trouble, Xingye took people from Jurong to Hefei.

Meng Shaoyuan then understood, and looked at Yuan Zhonghe and Kong Chuanbo: "You can, one by one, you are fat and strong, old Yuan, you are really blessed." ”

"Drag your blessing, drag your blessing." Yuan Zhonghe smiled: "The Japanese are staring at Changsha, we are relatively peaceful, this is not a comfortable life, when will it not grow meat." ”

Yes.

These people are the most reliable weapons in their hands.

When Meng Shaoyuan saw the two old subordinates, he immediately felt that he had a bottom in his heart, and called all the team members who had escorted him all the way here:

"Brothers, it's been hard work, here, it's beginning to be taken over by my people, and all the martyrs who died to escort the children along the way, no matter which faction, I will report truthfully!"

The two captains of the team silently saluted:

"Have a nice trip!"

"Take care!"

Along the way, too many people died.

And thirty children, unscathed.

Their parents, the spirits of heaven should be watching there.

"Old Yuan, how many people have you brought?" Meng Shaoyuan asked casually.

The old subordinates, if you don't bring a hundred people, you have to bring at least eighty people, right?

Unexpectedly, Yuan Zhonghe blurted out:

"Five."

"How many?" Meng Shaoyuan almost jumped up: "Five? ”

"yes?" Yuan Zhonghe felt inexplicable: "There are few people, and they come quickly." ”

Meng Shaoyuan was almost stunned, and hurriedly asked Kong Chuanbo: "What about you?" ”

"I have more people than Brother Yuan."

You see, it's still Kong Chuanbo who is serious: "How many? ”

"Six."

Meng Shaoyuan almost fainted: "Xiao Zhong, hurry, quickly call those people back to me." ”

"District Chief Meng." Yuan Zhonghe smiled: "What do you want so many people to do, it's not that you want to conquer Hefei." Wait for someone here, and when that person comes, we will go to Hefei. ”

Meng Shaoyuan was so angry that he smoked.

The reinforcements that I have been waiting for for so much have brought so many people?

Eleven people, three tables of mahjong are still one short.

"Their weapons."

Yuan Zhonghe suddenly pointed at Li Zhifeng and these people: "Don't bring them into Hefei." ”

"That's not going to work!" Li Zhifeng immediately said: "Weapons are the foundation of soldiers, what should I do if I encounter the Japanese?" ”

"Oh my brother." Yuan Zhonghe said with a smile: "It was really discovered by the Japanese, is this bit of people and weapons enough?" We will enter Hefei in batches, your weapons, find a few brothers to help you bring them in, rest assured, not a single bullet will be missing. ”

Kong Chuanbo actually echoed on the side.

"Give it to them, give it to them."

Meng Shaoyuan was angry: "Yuan Zhonghe, Kong Chuanbo, why the fuck do I think you have rebelled and are ready to sell me to the Japanese?" ”

"Cheng, Cheng, District Chief Meng, we have rebelled, we are shameless, have we become?"

Yuan Zhonghe beckoned the three of them over, gathered the weapons of Li Zhifeng's guards, put them on an ox cart he had brought, and then quickly left.

Yes, there are three more people missing.

"Shameless, shameless!"

Meng Shaoyuan was still scolding there.

Yuan Zhonghe whispered to Kong Chuanbo: "Speaking of shamelessness, who can compare to our Young Master Meng? This time he lost a hair, and when he returned to Shanghai, he had to give us little shoes to wear. ”

"Really?"

"Really, we old brothers don't know him yet?"

As he was talking, Yuan Zhonghe pointed behind him:

"Look, here we are."

Who is it?

Meng Shaoyuan and his men turned around and saw several ox carts slowly coming.

Why is the leader a little familiar?

When he got closer, Meng Shaoyuan blurted out:

"Xin Zhuangwen?"

Isn't that the son of the brigade commander of the Dian Army?

He was rescued by Meng Shaoyuan in Shanghai, and then he had to stay by Meng Shaoyuan's side Xin Zhuangwen?

Xin Zhuangwen ran a few steps quickly, and stood upright:

"Report to District Mayor Meng, Xin Zhuangwen was ordered to report!"
