Chapter 222

The telegram that Chizhou was attacked was sent to Haneda immediately.

Haneda was still angry because the 56th Independent Infantry Battalion failed to break through the defense line of the 40th Division of the National Army, but now, she feels glad that the 56th Infantry Battalion has not broken through the defense line of the 40th Division of the National Army. Otherwise, at this time, his main force of the Japanese army in Chizhou would have arrived in Tongling County, and it would be difficult to return to Chizhou again.

Haneda has no doubt that when he wants to return to Chizhou, he will inevitably be blocked by the anti-Japanese and national salvation army in southern Anhui.

Trap, this is indeed a trap. Xu Shijiu's intention is to lure his main force in Chizhou to Tongling, and then take advantage of the situation to attack Chizhou City. This crazy guy, he really dares to make the idea of ​​Chizhou.

However, Haneda must also admit that if his main force of the Japanese army in Chizhou cannot return to Chizhou in time, Chizhou may have lost.

Haneda immediately asked to issue an order to withdraw from Chizhou, but the order was already at his mouth, but he hesitated again

Xu Shijiu has figured out Haneda's personality. This old Japanese man is really not ordinary suspicious, too many suspicious

Haneda was already ready to give orders to retreat, but suddenly thought, what if this was Xu Shijiu's suspicious plan? If he brought the main force of the Japanese army in Chizhou to retreat to Chizhou at this time, and then the southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army concentrated its full force to attack Tongling County, it would be impossible to stop it with Takeshita Kojiro's military police squadron.

Although there are two naval gunboats at Tongling Wharf, under the unscrupulous attack of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui, these two gunboats may not have been able to last for too long. After all, they can only cruise on the wharf, which greatly limits their mobility. The 192 infantry artillery and mortars of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui are still threatening.

What does it mean in China? There are too many ants to kill an elephant

So, the old Japanese devil hesitated and didn't know whether to continue moving forward or return to Chizhou.

However, the old Japanese devil's hesitation did not last long, because Chizhou's second telegram was sent again.

"Nani? The Chinese army has broken through the fortifications of the city walls? I am launching a fierce attack on the military police headquarters and Chizhou Wharf?" After reading the second telegram sent by the headquarters, Haneda couldn't help but breathe a breath. He had already estimated the combat effectiveness of the anti-Japanese and national salvation army in southern Anhui, but unexpectedly, he underestimated their combat effectiveness.

How long has it been? Look at the time, it was just after midnight. In other words, the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui took only more than two hours to clear the strongholds outside Chizhou and broke through the fortifications of the city walls. At this speed, Haneda had a reason to worry that the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui could really take down Chizhou City before dawn.

A trace of determination immediately flashed across the old Japanese devil's face. Compared with Tongling County, Chizhou was obviously more important.

After all, Tongling County is just a small county town, and the garrison is only an infantry squadron, and it will not affect the overall situation in southern Anhui. Because Tongling is close to the Yangtze River, the anti-Japanese and national salvation army in southern Anhui will not be able to defend it. In the end, they have to spit out the fat meat that has reached their mouths. At most, they will just snatch some supplies from Tongling County.

Once Chizhou is lost, the consequences will be completely different.

After Anan Weiji, the commander of the ll army, was preparing for the second battle of Changsha. A classmate Lu Shi in Haneda was working as a staff officer at the ll army headquarters. According to the classmates, the number of troops participating in the second battle of Changsha will exceed 10,000, and the navy will also send teams to participate in the battle. This will be an unprecedented battle of scale.

With such a huge gathering of troops, the supply of materials will be unprecedented.

Then, Chizhou, as an important transportation node on the Yangtze River channel, will never have any mistakes.

Not to mention anything else, if the mountain of food piled up on the dock of Guangchizhou, if the anti-Japanese and national salvation troops in southern Anhui are stolen, it means that the ten thousand Japanese soldiers on the front line of Changsha will face the dilemma of food being cut off, not to mention that supplies are sent to Chizhou every day, and then transferred from Chizhou to Hankou. Once Chizhou is lost, the entire transportation line will be interrupted. Even if it is interrupted for only one or two days, it will cause irreparable losses and even affect the success or failure of the Second Changsha Battle.

The consequences of Chizhou's fall are too serious and are by no means Haneda can bear.

Haneda immediately called the adjutant to come and notified Yamamoto's brigade to return to defense of Chizhou.

The adjutant "Hayi" bowed his head and hurried to Yamamoto to convey the order.

However, as soon as the adjutant left, the figure of Agent Lao Mao, No. 76, appeared in front of Haneda and asked Haneda: "Colonel, why did you ask Yamamoto brigade to return to Chizhou? You don't know that once Tongling is lost, the American-British Tobacco Company will have the opportunity to deliver the supplies from Tongling Wharf to the southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army?"

Haneda stared at the old cat coldly and said, "Do you know that once Chizhou is lost, it will most likely affect the success or failure of the Second Changsha Battle?"

The old cat uttered, speechless.

The two have different positions, so the choices are different. Laomao is the special commissioner sent by Jisifeier No. 76 headquarters to handle the military supplies. For him, it is the most important to ensure that the supplies do not fall into the hands of the Chinese army. Haneda is the commander of the Chizhou Military Police. For Haneda, it is the most important to keep Chizhou, ensure the entire Yangtze River channel is unobstructed, and ensure the smooth progress of the Second Changsha Battle.

Haneda stopped for a moment and said, "What's more, the Navy has already transferred two gunboats from Wuhu. Calculate the time. It's almost time for these two gunboats to arrive in Tongling. You can find a way to contact the Navy and ask them to cooperate in blocking the docks and prevent the US-British Tobacco Company from delivering the supplies to the Chinese."

The old cat frowned and said, "I need some men."

Haneda called Yan Sanquan to his side and said, "Yansang, you can take the plainclothes team to follow him."

While speaking, Yamamoto's 56th Independent Infantry Battalion had turned around and Haneda asked the driver to turn around the side tricycle, then stepped on the side tricycle and left.

(Split Line)

When the lazy man woke up, he looked out through the porthole and saw that the river was pitch black.

When I got up and came to the deck, I was wearing clothes and getting up, and the moist and cold river breeze blew in front of me, and the lazy man's consciousness was immediately cleared.

Take out the pocket watch from the suit pocket on your chest to see the time. The hour hand is already pointing at three in the morning. In another two hours, it will be almost light up that day.

A black shadow wearing a baseball cap appeared from the bow of the ship and bowed slightly to the lazy man.

"How is it?" the lazy man took out a large front door cigarette, lit it, took a deep breath, and asked, "Nothing happened last night, right?"

"No, everything is normal." The man in the cap replied.

The lazy man nodded and asked again: "Have you ever encountered a gunboat that has patroled the river on the road?"

"Yes, I have met several groups of people." The man in the cap replied, "But the little Japanese have been much more restrained than before. When they saw the American flag hanging on the mast, they took a detour."

The lazy man frowned and said, "The little Japanese is a bit abnormal."

"It's indeed a bit abnormal." The man in the baseball cap also echoed, "Two years ago, Japan did not dare to take the US or the British warships and merchant ships, but when they encounter it, they will eventually get entangled and interrogated for a long time. Every now and then, there will even be bold Japanese soldiers who are provoking trouble. However, starting this year, Japan has become much more honest.

"If something goes wrong, there will be a demon." The lazy man said in a deep voice, "Is it possible that the little Japanese is going to attack the Americans.

If US President Roosevelt heard this, he would be shocked, because the Japanese government at this time was unprecedentedly gentle. Japan was sending groups of representatives to repeatedly discuss the order of the Far East and even the entire Asia-Pacific region with the US government, and repeatedly begging the United States to lift the oil embargo on Japan, with a very humble attitude.

In fact, this is just what the little Japanese poses.
