"The information sent by the military commander turned Anqing City upside down."

"What?"

At the command of the Fifth Theater, Xu Zuyi got this information and handed it over to Li Zongren as soon as possible.

Li Zongren already had a hazy sleepiness, and after reading the information, he was overjoyed and had no sleepiness at all. He rejoiced not in the Anqing chaos, but in the bombing of the Anqing airport, which delayed the bombing of Wuhan.

This was a great shame for the Japanese army. Intelligence said that it was not a small squad that attacked Anqing City, but an elite unit of nearly a company. ”

Xu Zuyi said with a smile, but he smiled a little weirdly. Li Zongren could hear it, and there was a voice outside his words.

Li Zongren said: "Don't be afraid to say it directly."

Xu Zuyi said: "Falcon, the Japanese army should know that it is the special combat team of the Eighth Route Army, but the Japanese army does not know about others except Falcon." The Japanese army has revenge. Commander, you forgot that there is still a unit in southern Anhui. ”

Li Zongren blurted out: "New Fourth Army."

"Yes, it's the New Fourth Army." Xu Zuyi continued: "Now that the New Fourth Army is fledgling, the speed of development of the Communist Party is very amazing. Now that there is the Sixth Division of the Japanese Army in the north and south of Anhui and the Botian Detachment in the south, it will be difficult for the Fourth Detachment of the New Fourth Army to gain a foothold in southern Anhui. ”

Li Zongren finally understood what Xu Zuyi meant, and said, "You want to borrow a knife to kill someone."

Xu Zuyi said: "This was originally done by them, I just want the chairman to commend them." The last time the New Fourth Army ambushed the Japanese army in Jiangjialou, it killed 20 devils, and the chairman of the committee sent a telegram to commend him. ”

At that time, Li Zongren really didn't understand. They wiped out all 20 devils, and the other party was still the New Fourth Army led by the Communist Party, and the chairman of the committee also sent a special telegram to Ye Ting to show encouragement. There are two reasons for this: first, they want the New Fourth Army to attack more; Second, let Japan know that the total annihilation was carried out by the New Fourth Army.

In Anqing City, the sound of gunfire gradually stopped, and there were only rumbling thunder and dripping rain.

"Damn, I can't see a ghost."

Shao Fei led the team to the middle of the road, but at this time, the devils all retreated.

"The devils became turtles with shrunken heads, and they all ran back to their nests."

"We won, and the devils in Anqing City actually defeated dozens of us."

“……”

The fighters of the third battalion began to cheer for victory. They had never experienced such a battle, such a victory, but ......

"Bang!" "Bang!" “……”

I don't know where the bullets came from, and they hit several fighters directly.

Shao Fei ordered loudly: "Go back to the alley!"

"Bang!"

A bullet hit Shao Fei's left shoulder, and Shao Fei covered his wound and led his troops to retreat towards a remote alley.

"Sir, are you alright?"

"Sir......

The surrounding soldiers were very concerned about Shao Fei's injuries, because Shao Fei was their current spiritual support.

Shao Fei endured the pain and asked, "I'm fine, how about the casualties?"

One soldier replied: "Four people were killed, eight were wounded."

Shao Fei quickly ordered: "Immediately set up a guard post and help the wounded bandage."

Shigeichi Harata could not allow defeat, and the withdrawal of troops to the garrison was only his first step. When all the troops had retreated, he ordered Akiyama to set up sought-after positions at various points in the city, including rooftops, houses, and intersections. Whoever is found on the road is to be shot, but not to pursue.

An invisible net is slowly forming, and Shao Fei seems to have been generalized.

After a soldier helped Shao Fei treat his wounds, he asked, "Sir, what should we do now?"

At this time, although the light was dim, Shao Fei could see that everyone's eyes were watching him. But Shao Fei has nothing to do, and the heavy rain and dark night have now become the advantages of the other party.

Shao Fei thought about it again and again, and replied helplessly: "Wait." Now there are devils everywhere outside, we don't know their location at all, and going out is a death. ”

At this time, one of the soldiers said: "We have killed so many devils, and we are worth it."

Shao Fei breathed a sigh of relief and said to everyone: "The purpose of fighting is to survive, not to die. Of all the local troops, my favorite was General Sun Lianzhong's Northwest Army, which was stubborn and invincible. But they also like to organize death squads, but I don't like it. I just want my fighters to fight with hope. ”

Another soldier said, "But they're warlords."

Shao Fei smiled and said, "Heh~ When is it?" Whether it is a warlord or a bandit, no matter how much enmity we have between us, now we have only one enemy, and that is the devil. As long as it is a team that kills devils, it is good, and they are all bloody Chinese. ”

These soldiers began to be silent, maybe they were thinking, they were also good at thinking, and the red ideological education was not covered.

The Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army are both contingents under the leadership of the Communist Party, and the difference between them and the Nationalist Army is not their equipment or the quality of their soldiers, but their ideology. Only thinking troops can be invincible. However, Chairman Chiang did not attach importance to this point.

Hatada Headquarters, Hakata Shigeichi got new news from Anqing City. The whole situation was under control, so Hakuda began to implement the third step of the battle plan: encirclement.

Hakata Shigeichi immediately ordered the troops in Anqing Castle to attack quickly, and asked the attacking troops to tie white cloth to their arms to distinguish between friend and foe.

The attacking troops blocked the four gates in squadrons, and controlled the junctions in squadrons, encroaching on them step by step. In the event of an attack, counterattack on the spot and not pursue.

Once Botian's battle plan was completed, Shao Fei could not fly. But at this time, Shao Fei didn't know Botian's battle plan, maybe he didn't realize that he had met a powerful opponent.

Shao Fei and his troops were still hidden in the alley, not that he couldn't see through the other party's intentions, but that he didn't know what was going on outside and couldn't respond.

However, the special operations team had already discovered the movements of the Japanese troops in the shadows.

"Withdraw~"

Xiucai quickly withdrew to the east gate with the sniper team, and Sun Haiping and Xiucai made the same decision. They all know that the East Gate is the last hope for the retreat of the large army, so it must not fall into the hands of devils.

The rain has become lighter, and Anqing City has slowly become quieter, but this tranquility is only temporary.

"Bang! Bang! "Bang!" "Bang!"

This is the rhythm of the gunfire of "211", the gunfire comes from Xiucai's blocking detachment, which is telling Shao Fei and Zhuzi to evacuate quickly.

"Ready to go!"

Shao Fei immediately stood up. He doesn't know what's going on outside, but he has absolute trust in his teammates. So, Shao Fei led the team through the remote alley to move towards the east gate.

The two special operations detachments soon converged at the east gate.

Xiucai said: "I will take the sniper team to be responsible for blocking the attack, and you will take it to clean up the secret post near the east gate and cover the retreat of the captain and the pillar."

"I see, you have to be careful."

Sun Haiping immediately left with a surprise attack, and Xiucai ordered loudly: "Prepare for battle!"

The two team members quickly moved the two heavy machine guns outside the two city gates to the city gates, and pointed their guns inside. Xiucai took the other two to a nearby rooftop to find a sniper spot.

The devil troops arrived at the east gate before Shao Fei.

"Da Da Da" "Da Da Da" "Da Da Da" "......"

Two heavy machine guns fired in a straight line in the middle of the road.

"Hidden!"

The Devil Commander quickly ordered the troops to disperse, and due to the strong penetration of the heavy machine guns, the Devil could only hide in the house or alley and launch a counterattack.

"Bang!" "Bang!" “……”

Xiucai and the other two team members sniped at a high point, covering their teammates at the door, and constantly changing positions.

Shao Fei and Zhu led the troops to rush to this side, and the Japanese army learned that their breakthrough direction was at the east gate, and they also began to rush here, and the two sides began to fight for time and speed.

"Boom Boom"

There were grenades in front of the east gate, and many devils were blown out of the alley. The pillar arrived first with his troops and launched an attack on the Japanese troops in front.

"Don't fight, withdraw!"

The pillar commanded loudly, and then ran towards the east gate with his troops.

"Boom boom boom bang! ”“……”

In the southwest, not far from the east gate, the fighting was extremely fierce.

A special combat member shouted: "It's the captain and the devil who have done it."

"Damn, the devil is too fast."

Zhu Zi cursed, and then left some people to guard the east gate, and took the rest of the troops to meet Shao Fei.

"Fire cover!"

"Dadada" "......"

The pillar led the people to quickly run southwest.

It didn't take long to run before they met Shao Fei, they were biting the devils, fighting and retreating.

"Captain!" The pillar alley shouted, and then said loudly: "Retreat!" We cover. The east gate will soon be unguarded! ”

"Withdraw!" Shao Fei led the troops desperately to the east.

"Hit!" "Dadada" "......"

The column led the troops to suppress the pursuers with machine-gun fire, and then shouted an order: "Throw grenades!"

"Boom Boom"

Under the cover of grenades, the column led the troops to quickly break away.

When everyone arrived at the east gate, Shao Fei ordered: "Pillar, take your team to bring all the equipment, and the rest of the people will cover!"

After the pillar's team had finished taking all the equipment at the foot of the city wall, Shao Fei led the team to evacuate the east gate. And the devil didn't dare to take a step towards the east gate to pursue Shao Fei and them.

In this battle, Shao Fei brought a total of more than 70 people, but in the end he lost 20 people and injured more than 30 people, far more than half. Although the number of devils they eliminated in the city far exceeded this number, Shao Fei felt defeated first. That's not about the number of people, it's strategic.

The battle between Shao Fei and Shigeichi Habata had just begun, and this time they were tied. Bo Tian was unwilling, and Shao Fei was even more unwilling. Their battle will continue until the end of the Battle of Wuhan.

(PS: Hatada Shigeichi is super awesome, and he rushed to the vanguard with two Taiwan teams, running all the way to Wuhan.) )
