As soon as Niu Gu came, the first thing he did was to find Bo Yuntian, the contact person of the Loyal Salvation Army Corps, and ask for a batch of regular army uniforms, almost two companies' uniforms.

People are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, and now the Baohua Mountain Brigade has suffered all the hardships of being famous before, and is being targeted by the Japanese army, and as soon as the surrounding blockade is blocked, the entire Baohua Mountain will be depressed.

In fact, the Baohuashan Brigade usually doesn't attack much, and it doesn't pose much threat to devils, but when it becomes famous, it's different, and devils don't like nails, and they dangle in front of their eyes every day.

Now Baohua Mountain rarely attacks, there is no guarantee that it will grow in the future? Will there be a big threat? Therefore, the devil has adopted the simplest and most economical method, which is to blockade.

Anyway, I have attacked Baohua Mountain a few times before, but I can't defeat it, and I will not approve a large number of people to fight this local armed force with little threat.

Just blockade it, just control it and don't make a big deal happen, now the main forces of the devils have crossed the river and gone north, leaving some garrison troops, and together with the local puppet army, pull up the blockade line.

There are so many people in Baohua Mountain, and they spend a lot of money every day, and they are naturally nervous when they are blockaded by the devils, although Qi Yongqing's intelligence troops can pass through the blockade line and bring some urgently needed medicines and a small amount of ammunition.

But if it is transported in and out in large quantities like before, it will be very difficult, and this time the trophies of the Jiangbei squadron were also sent directly to Tangshan Tienon by bypassing Baohua Mountain.

Therefore, Niu Gu came to Jiangbei, although the vast terrain of Jiangbei is changeable, the people in the Huaihe River valley live in hardship, and they also hate the Japanese army to the core.

But after all, it is still developing in the enemy-occupied area behind the enemy, and once it is as famous as the Baohuashan Brigade, it is not easy to mix up if it is targeted by devils.

Therefore, the first thing Niu Gu did when he came was to disguise his troops, take a set of clothes for regular army troops, and sometimes when he went out to fight devils, he could wear them, or to confuse the devils, anyway, he just couldn't make himself too famous.

It happened that the 31st Army needed to replenish rest and provide assistance after several major battles, so the Fifth Theater transferred the 51st Army of General Yu Xuezhong, a veteran of the Northeast Army, to defend the Huai River valley on the southern front of Xuzhou.

The 51st Army is a very qualified Chinese army, formerly known as the New Army in the late Qing Dynasty, and the commander of the army, General Yu Xuezhong, turned out to be a general of Wu Peifu under Yuan Shikai.

The Northern Expedition of the Southern Revolutionary Army defeated Wu Peifu into the wilderness, and this unit entered Beiping Tianjin with the major marshal of the Northeast Army, and General Yu also served as the commander of the Pingjin garrison.

After the Xi'an Incident, the Northeast Army was not treated by the Ministry of Military Affairs for a time, put Zhang Shaomarshal under house arrest, dismantled a number of troops of the Northeast Army, and even disbanded some, even lost the number, or gave it to others, such as the number of the 115th, 120th, and 129th divisions of the Eighth Route Army.

However, with the outbreak of the all-out War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression now, when it comes to employing people, we must not be too mean, and the Ministry of Military Affairs will do its best to meet everyone's requirements for the Northeast Army, like other troops.

Therefore, at the request of the Loyal Salvation Army Corps, the 51st Army generously took out a battalion of military uniforms and gave them to their Jiangbei squadron.

This makes Lao Shan very happy, Lao Shan himself is from the 112th Division of the Northeast Army, and now in the Loyal Salvation Army, he still remembers the old troops in his hometown.

Although I am not one of them now, I put on the clothes with the number of the Northeast Army, and I feel that I am back in the once passionate army, and I am back to that passionate time.

Not only Lao Dan, but there were also three or four veterans in the Jiangbei Squadron, all of whom were originally from the Northeast Army, who were scattered in Nanjing, and now put on familiar military uniforms, and even hid in the toilet to secretly cry.

Once with a full of humiliation and injustice,

With scars and dust all over his body,

Living in the world,

Now put on this glory of your own,

can't help but be surging,

The blood that was once cold also warmed up because of this.

……

Recently, Qi Yongqing's informant organization on the north side of the river discovered that the Japanese army's warehouses and distribution centers in the Chuzhou area had prepared a large amount of war materials, and in addition to normal guns and ammunition, there were also a large number of rubber boats and small motorboats covered with iron.

It seemed that the Japanese army was about to start attacking the west bank of the Mingguang River, and Niu Gu and Lao Dan analyzed it, and at the same time reported this information to the Loyal Salvation Army Corps, and the intelligence organization of the corps also gave the information to the 31st Army, the 51st Army and the Fifth War Zone.

The current situation is that the 31st Army is guarding the west of the Mingguang River from Dingyuan Chihe Town to Mingguang City, and the 51st Army is transferred to the north of Mingguang City and the south bank of the Huai River.

The Mingguang River, from south to north, flows from Dingyuan County, flows through Erlong, Lotus Pond, and Chihe until Mingguang, and flows into the Nushan Lake in the north of Mingguang.

The water of Nüshan Lake flows into the Huai River, enters Hongze Lake, passes through Jinhu Lake, reaches Gaoyou Lake, and finally passes through Yangzhou and enters the Yangtze River in Yangzhong.

Now the Japanese army has made it clear that it wants to attack the Huai River and advance towards Xuzhou, but before attacking the Huai River, it is necessary to take away the 31st Army on the west bank of the Mingguang River, sweep away the worries of the flank, and at the same time attack the 51st Army guarding the south bank of the Huai River.

For the actions of these large troops, the greedy Niu Gu and Lao Shan don't seem to care very much, but they are concerned about how to get a handful of supplies from the devils.

It is false to say that he doesn't care, otherwise Niu Gu would not have repeatedly asked Qi Yongqing to pay close attention to the movements of the Japanese army in the Chuzhou area, but in addition to providing intelligence to the top, a small force like them seems to have no way to stop the movement of the large Japanese army.

Therefore, they had no choice but to retreat, not only to attack the Japanese army, but also to earn oil and water, and this seemed to have become the operational purpose of the guerrillas throughout the country.

That's right, it's the baggage troops that fight devils behind enemy lines, picking up soft persimmons and pinching them, and by the way, there are persimmons to eat, killing multiple birds with one stone.

However, although the devils do not attach importance to the baggage troops, the equipment of the people is also leveraged, and there is no problem in dealing with the attack of the ordinary Chinese army.

Just imagine, the baggage troops of other devils are also people, they are individuals, who do not pay attention to their own safety, and the baggage troops are the first to supplement the combat materials and equipment.

Although you can't keep all the good equipment for your own use, it is still more than enough to deal with some Chinese guerrillas.

For example, on this section of the road from Pukou on the north bank of Nanjing to Chuzhou, the truck brigade of the 13th Division Transport Wing was responsible for the transportation of baggage.

The defense unit is equipped with a small number of infantry guns and mortars, and there is also a squadron of machine guns, which are all big trucks anyway, so that the heavy fire is directly pulled on the car, it feels like a mobile heavy fire unit.

Infantry artillery with mortars and light and heavy machine guns, and it is also fast and mobile, it is simply the nemesis and nightmare of the infantry, such a defensive force, even if the main force of the 31st Army comes to attack, it may not be able to defeat it at once.

What's more, with such a small amount of troops and firepower from the bull, it is not enough for others to stuff their teeth. Therefore, even if Niu Gu is dreaming, he will not dream of going to fight the attention of the devil's baggage team.
