    Knowing that Commander-in-Chief Yu actually brought people to Xiong'er Mountain to block him, Li Guoyao was a little bit dumbfounded. At the same time, he also realized that the situation at Han Deqin seemed to be very bad.

    After a slight hesitation, Li Guoyao immediately called back to the commander-in-chief, asking him to return to Yimeng Mountain first, and later he would organize troops to reinforce the northern Jiangsu area.

    Of course, as a condition, the 300,000 yuan in military expenses, weapons, equipment and ammunition must be sent to Xiong'er Mountain as soon as possible.

    After receiving Li Guoyao¡¯s promise, Commander-in-Chief Yu was overjoyed and immediately returned to Yimeng Mountain!

    Regarding the reinforcement of Han Deqin's headquarters, Li Guoyao thought very clearly. Although there were many problems, if he did not send troops in the face of this situation, it would inevitably cause serious dissatisfaction in the Sulu Theater and Chongqing.

    Secondly, although Han Deqin likes to cause friction, the credit of this man and the army under his command is still there. Their existence still greatly restrains the Japanese and puppet troops in Jiangsu area.

    For example, in the three-month battle against Japan in July, August, and September 1938, Han Deqin's Department caused more than 3,000 casualties to the Japanese army during the battle against Japan.  Among them, in the battles of Tongru, the Japanese Army Lieutenant Colonel Kiyoshimoto's headquarters suffered about 630 casualties; in the battles of Xuzhou and the southern section of Jinpu Road, the Japanese Fifth Division's Songcun Brigade suffered about 500 casualties; in the battle of Yangshao, the Japanese Sato Regiment suffered about 330 casualties.  people; in the Battle of Sunjiashan, the Japanese Marine Corps suffered about 300 casualties.

    Even "Shenbao" reported on this: "According to recent surveys, the results of the Anti-Japanese War in the occupied areas of Jiangsu Province are best in Xuzhou counties, which are expected to contain the strength of the Japanese First Division for a long time, and are divided into 62 transportation points.  In the past three months, the guerrillas in various counties have had more than 50 contacts with the Japanese army, more than ten position battles, and five or six large-scale raids against the Japanese army. In total, the Japanese have killed and injured more than a thousand people. The guerrillas have destroyed the Tianjin-Long Road and  Highways were destroyed more than 20 times, Japanese trains were attacked five times, and telegraph poles were pulled out for more than 70 miles"

    It can be seen that the contribution of Han Deqin's department is still very great. No matter what, we can't watch them being annihilated by the little devils!

    But as for how to reinforce Han Deqin, Li Guoyao needs to think carefully!

    The most direct way is to concentrate all the troops of Lu Wenlong's and Zhu Hong's troops, and then launch an attack on the counties and districts in northern Jiangsu, especially Xuzhou and Haizhou. The Japanese army will inevitably return reinforcements.

    But in this way, the Haizhou detachment and the troops in North Anhui will be completely exposed, which will be very detrimental to the next actions of the troops!

    After thinking about it again and again, Li Guoyao decided not to use the Lu Wenlong Division and the Haizhou Detachment this time, but to act in the name of the Ninth Army!

    On March 20, five days after the Battle of Northern Jiangsu started, Li Guoyao ordered Xie Baojun's 193rd Division to go directly south from Xiong'er Mountain. After capturing Yixian, the main force went straight to Taierzhuang, with the goal of Xuzhou in the distance.

    At the same time, Lu Wenlong's troops located outside Xuzhou also began to attack major strongholds and transportation lines outside Xuzhou City in the name of the 193rd Division!

    The most important thing is that under Li Guoyao's order, the Jiangnan guerrillas who had been dormant in central Anhui for nearly three years suddenly gathered on a large scale, and then concentrated 12 regiments of elite troops to launch an attack on Bengbu and other places where the troops were empty.  All-out attack.

    Of course, Jiang Feng¡¯s actions were apparently spontaneous and had nothing to do with Li Guoyao!

    Even within Li Guoyao's headquarters, except for a few senior officers, most people still don't know that they still have an army of tens of thousands in central Anhui.

    After learning that Li Guoyao's troops had begun taking action, in order to contain the Japanese troops in Linyi and Zaozhuang, the Sulu Theater Headquarters also launched attacks in Feixian, Mengyin and other places.

    For a time, fighting was going on everywhere in southern Shandong and northern Jiangsu, and artillery fire was rumbling everywhere. It was so lively!

    As soon as the Nationalist troops in southern Shandong moved, the North China Front Army Headquarters moved again. A large number of mobile troops gathered in southern Shandong. The Tianjin-Puzhou Railway also continued to transport soldiers and supplies to these places every day. There was a chance of a decisive battle with the main force of the nationalist army.  mean.

    Especially in Xuzhou City, the 21st Division Regiment Headquarters assembled the main force of the two regiments and a large number of technical troops, and assumed a posture of defending Xuzhou City. They waited to deal with Han Deqin's department and then turned around to deal with Li Guoyao's department.  .

    Li Guoyao didn't care about this. While he ordered his troops to continuously attack the counties around Xuzhou, he ordered Jiang Feng's troops to speed up the attack.

    Li Guoyao didn¡¯t believe it. After the troops captured Bengbu and moved north to Suzhou and Huaibei, the little devil could still be so calm!

    Originally stationed in Bengbu was the Japanese independent mixed 13th Brigade. The brigade commander was the famous Major General Ozaki Yoshiharu in the Japanese army. In addition, there were three puppet infantry regiments cooperating with the Ozaki Brigade, with a total strength of nearly 8,000.  More people??

    It is not easy for eight thousand people to guard Bengbu and its surrounding 12 counties. After all, there are only a few hundred people in one place on average.

    You must know that Bengbu is one of the most important cities along the Jinpu Railway. There are countless train stations that need to be garrisoned along the way. This small amount of troops is really stretched.

    More importantly, since the Jiangnan guerrillas stationed in the Bengbu area, they have continued to attack Japanese and puppet military positions in small groups.

    Although under Li Guoyao's order, Jiang Feng's troops never conducted large-scale gatherings, let alone large-scale battles, they still caused considerable pressure on the Japanese and puppet troops.

    This time, the Ozaki Brigade suddenly received an order to march eastward to Jiangsu to fight. The two main infantry brigades and a large number of technical arms were transferred away, so that there were only more than 2,000 Japanese troops and less than 3,000 puppet troops left in the entire Bengbu area.  The troop strength dropped by one-third, and the combat effectiveness dropped by more than two-thirds.

    Seizing this opportunity, Jiang Feng's troops took the initiative. Nearly 30,000 main troops from 12 regiments were suddenly dispatched. They captured more than ten counties and districts outside Bengbu overnight, including Fengyang, Dingyuan, Guangming and Huaiyuan.  Waiting for a place, the soldiers finally surrounded Bengbu!

    When the news reached Nanjing, the Japanese army was shocked!

    They never thought that there would be so many Chinese troops in the Bengbu area, and it was rumored that these troops wore the uniforms of the New Fourth Army guerrillas, but their weapons and equipment were very sophisticated, not much worse than the Imperial Japanese Army.

    Shocked, the China Expeditionary Forces Headquarters immediately ordered the Ozaki brigade to return to Bengbu immediately and ordered the Japanese and puppet troops in Suzhou, Huainan, Chuxian and other places to immediately reinforce Bengbu.

    However, before the Japanese reinforcements could gather, Bengbu City was captured. Except for some of the puppet troops surrendering, the more than 2,000 defenders in the city were all annihilated!

    After the news spread, it once again shocked the China Expeditionary Forces Headquarters. Bengbu City is not an ordinary small city. The city defenses here are very strong and complete. There are more than 2,000 defenders in the city, and ammunition and food are very abundant.  adequate.

    According to the expectations of the Japanese army, under such circumstances, even if the army outside the city was several times larger than the Imperial Japanese Army, they would not be able to capture Bengbu in a short time.

    Even Lieutenant General Itagaki Seishiro, Chief of General Staff of the Expeditionary Forces, judged that it would take at least a week, or even longer, for the troops to capture Bengbu City!

    However, no one expected that the time from the siege to the defeat of Bengbu City was only ten hours.

    This is a bit scary. A guerrilla force in such a short time was able to take down a heavy city heavily guarded by the imperial army. It¡¯s terrifying to think about it!

    But what they don¡¯t know is that Jiang Feng¡¯s headquarters has been operating in central Anhui for more than three years. During these three years, they basically did not show their strength in front of the Japanese army, but developed insignificantly.

    While continuously accumulating strength, Li Guoyao also ordered them to continuously infiltrate Bengbu City and its surrounding areas!

    With enough time and a lot of money to clear the way, not only Bengbu City, but also Huainan, Chuxian and even Hefei City had informants of the Jiangnan guerrillas. They even purchased a large number of properties in these cities and continued to  Deeply penetrated into the Japanese and puppet troops.

    Especially in terms of the puppet army, the Japanese army in Central Anhui has about 38 puppet infantry regiments. Although the total strength is not large, only more than 40,000 people, there are 7 puppet infantry regiments directly controlled by Jiang Feng.  .  There are 16 infantry regiments that have good relations with the Jiangnan guerrillas, accounting for more than half of all puppet troops.

    "Now that Jiang Feng's troops suddenly show their fangs, how can the little devil stand it!"  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
