Shao Fei led the special combat team to continue eastward through the Madang Fortress on the Yangtze River, and he changed his new face and was laughed at by the special combat team all the way to Anqing, Anhui.

If Madang Fortress is the waterway gateway of Wuhan, then Anqing is the outpost of Madang Fortress.

Anqing is located in the southwest of Anwei, bordering the Yangtze River, at the junction of Anhui, Hubei and Jiangxi provinces, and is the throat of the Yangtze River. Therefore, Shao Fei preferred Anqing.

"Damn, laughing!"

In the woods north of Anqing, the special combat team rested and ate dry food on the spot. The team members looked at Shao Fei's face while eating, and they couldn't help laughing.

"Captain, don't be angry, a few of us want to remember your face, so that we don't know who to listen to when we get orders."

"Yes, I feel like a new captain is here, so I have to ask the brothers to have an adaptation process."

"It's just not as handsome as before, the captain has lost a lot, and my sister-in-law is not angry, right?"

"I remembered a joke that the captain once told, you changed your vest, I still know you!"

"Hahaha......"

The team members couldn't stop laughing, but Shao Fei was speechless and continued to eat his own dry food. Such a cheerful atmosphere, Shao Fei felt rare, so he didn't care.

Zhu Zi persuaded: "Enough, the captain of the family is the god of war, so you must always leave some majesty."

After saying that, the pillar also laughed.

"Do it. I repeat, you can't reveal your identity without my orders. ”

As soon as Shao Fei's words fell, "boom, boom, boom" and "bang, bang" resounded in the dense gunfire on the highway not far away.

"Prepare for battle!"

Shao Fei gave an order, and the captains threw away the dry food in their mouths, picked up their guns and quickly ran towards the highway.

"Bang Bang Bang" "......"

The gunfire intensified, and the special operations team looked north from the bushes at the southern end of the road.

A team of devils is spreading out on both sides of the road, and is deploying fire to counterattack the high ground on the west side, and there are still several corpses of devils lying in the middle of the road. Apparently, they were ambushed.

Xiaodao said with a smile: "The national army has also learned to be smart, and it is like playing with our Eighth Route Army."

Shao Fei kept observing with a telescope, and it was indeed the national army on the hillside. The blue sky and white sun on the cockade are particularly eye-catching against the blue military cap.

The pillar asked, "Captain, do you want to fight?"

Shao Fei put down the binoculars and said, "Three hundred people beat more than thirty people and a fart."

It didn't take long for the battle to end. But the devils still escaped a few people, and a total of 22 devils were eliminated in this battle.

Soldiers on the hillside came down one after another to clean up the battlefield. At this time, Shao Fei found out that the other party was not the national army, but the New Fourth Army in southern Anhui. The number of people was not 300 as predicted before, and at most it was the strength of two companies.

"Go, don't reveal your identity."

Shao Fei left the bushes with the special combat team and went to meet the legendary New Fourth Army.

"Stop, who's who!?"

Some soldiers spotted Shao Fei and raised their guns one after another.

The special operators stood motionless.

At this moment, a man who looked like an officer came up and asked, "Who are you?"

Shao Fei replied, "Passerby."

The officer asked, "Why are they all carrying guns?" And it's all the devil's 38 big cover, where did you get it? ”

Shao Fei replied calmly: "If the soldiers are in chaos, there are guns to defend themselves." As for where it came from, there is one in the south, and the national army in the area of Dawangmiao is fighting with devils. ”

The officer gave Shao Fei a lot of time, and then ordered the soldier to put his gun down.

Shao Fei deliberately asked, "What kind of troops are you?" It feels different from the rest of the national army. ”

The officer pointed to the armband and replied, "We are the New Fourth Army under the leadership of the Communist Party, the people's army. Look at your burly figures, now that the national disaster is at hand, are you interested in fighting devils with us? ”

Shao Fei pretended to be pensive, and then said, "The New Fourth Army, I haven't said that I have heard of it. Why don't you give us a tour of your troops, I don't want to take my brothers and brothers to the wrong team. ”

"Good. My surname is Li, you can call me Camp Commander Li. ”

Subsequently, Shao Fei followed them to the station of the New Fourth Army.

Later, Shao Fei learned that they were the third battalion of the seventh regiment of the fourth detachment of the New Fourth Army. The fourth detachment received an order from its superiors to operate in the vicinity of the Qinghe Highway. Laying mines, blowing up bridges, cutting power lines, and ambushing the sluggish Japanese attack indirectly assisted the Nationalist troops in the direction of Anqing.

At the beginning of the establishment of the New Fourth Army, there were four detachments, and the first, second, and third detachments had only two regiments, but the fourth detachment had four regiments (the 7th, 8th, and 9th regiments, and the pistol regiment), and its combat effectiveness was the strongest.

The commander of the fourth detachment, Gao Jingting (he was also a marshal alive, but unfortunately he was killed by Ye Ting), and the commander of the Seventh Regiment, Yang Kezhi (a traitor, indirectly killed Gao Jingting). And the predecessor of this army was the Red 28th Army.

Battalion Commander Li arranged for Shao Fei and his party to rest in a private house in a nearby village, and went to report the battle situation to the regiment commander himself.

Inside, thirteen people huddled together felt particularly crowded. Some sat on the bed, some sat on the stool, and some sat directly on the table. They couldn't go out, there was a squad of fighters guarding outside. It is clear that the special forces are under house arrest.

Xiaodao asked, "Captain, this is the hospitality of the New Fourth Army?"

Shao Fei explained: "We are from an unknown source, and we are holding weapons, understand, understand."

Zhu Zi asked again: "Come all the way, you won't really let us join the New Fourth Army, right?"

"Brother, I'm here to visit."

After speaking, Shao flew outside the house and walked.

"Where are you going?"

A soldier at the door stopped Shao Fei, and Shao Fei shouted, "Pee!"

Asked until now, Shao Fei felt irritable, and the two soldiers had been following Shao Fei.

"Nonsense!"

At the headquarters of the Seventh Regiment, Regiment Commander Yang Kezhi was furious when he learned that the Third Battalion had brought strangers to the station.

Yang Kezhi said: "They are definitely not simply passing by. If it's a deserter of the 146th Division, it's fine, in case it's a devil's spy, are you responsible for this!? ”

Battalion Commander Li replied, "They don't look like bad people, but I've already asked a squad to take care of them."

"Take me now, they must be identified."

After speaking, Yang Kezhi quickly went to Shao Fei's residence to find out where they came from.

Now Yang Sen's 27th Division of the 21st Army and the 146th Division of the 21st Army are fighting fiercely at Dawangmiao southeast of Anqing with the Botian Detachment (Taiwan Detachment) along the Yangtze River. And the 6th Division was moving south from Hefei to attack Anqing together with the Botian detachment.

The task of the Fourth Detachment of the New Fourth Army was to slow down the pace of the Sixth Division's southward movement.

Yang Kezhi came to the compound where the special combat team was located, and asked someone to call the special combat team members out and line up in the courtyard.

Yang Kezhi observed the figures and eyes of these people, no matter how he looked at them, he didn't look like ordinary people. So he asked, "Who are you?" Don't tell me you're ordinary people, I'm not fooled. ”

Shao Fei smiled: "Then who do you say we are?"

"Be serious!" Yang Kezhiwei drank it and put on an official show.

At this time, Battalion Commander Li stepped forward with a kinder expression than Yang Kezhi, and said to Shao Fei: "You can explain honestly, our New Fourth Army will not embarrass you."

Shao Fei pretended to be helpless and replied, "Okay." We are from the 146th Division. One company was defeated, and those officials didn't care about our life or death, and let us defend to the death, so we stole the people's clothes and ran away. We are not afraid of death, but we do not want to die in vain. ”

"What you said is true?"

Yang Kezhi stepped forward and stared at Shao Fei's eyes.

Shao Fei's eyes didn't give in, and he replied categorically: "Every sentence is true."

"Well, I believe you." Yang Kezhi breathed a sigh of relief and said to Shao Fei: "Since it is from the 146th Division, you should know about the situation in the Anqing area. We have a mission at night, to sneak up on the devil's cavalry. Since you are afraid of death, I will not force you to participate, I only hope that you will lead the way. ”

"No problem."

Shao Fei agreed. Yang Kezhi asked Battalion Commander Li to take good care of Shao Fei and them, and set off with the third battalion in the evening.

(PS: The Fourth Detachment of the New Fourth Army was the only combat unit included in the Battle of Wuhan by the Nationalist Government.) ）
