Huang Weidao.

"Master Huang, the battle situation is urgent, so I won't go to see Commander Chen Cheng, please report it for me, and I will tell you that I will lead the troops to assist the First Army to block the Japanese reinforcements."

Liang Xiao said.

"No problem, I will definitely convey it to Commander Chen in person."

Huang Weidao.

"Farewell."

Liang Xiao strode out of the headquarters of the 61st Division.

He came to the headquarters two kilometers away, took the military map and looked at it for a while, and ordered the troops to arrive near Liushugou before dawn.

Liushugou is more than 30 kilometers away from Luodian, and it is the only way from Chuanshakou to Luodian.

With the marching speed of the mechanized troops, they can arrive before dawn at the latest. Once the sky is bright, Japanese aircraft will come out for reconnaissance.

Liang Xiao took a jeep and led the troops to Liushugou.

At dawn, cocks crow and dogs bark.

The troops arrived at a forest five miles away from Liushugou.

Liang Xiao immediately got off the car and ordered the troops to go into the forest to rest, and all the trucks and chariots drove into the forest to cover up.

Several miles away, there were sporadic gunshots.

It should be that the First Army exchanged fire with the Japanese army in Liushugou.

Liang Xiao didn't intend to enter Liushugou to fight. Lei Zhenggang he led was a serious special operations force. The soldiers had strong individual combat capabilities and were best at fighting in jungle and mountain warfare. Liushu Gu's terrain was complex, and it was the right place to fight. Great place for jungle warfare.

The troops temporarily rested in the forest.

Chen Hua took dry food and water and handed them to Liang Xiao: "Master, have some food first."

Liang Xiao glanced at the big pancake, stretched out his hand to take it, gave Chen Hua half of the pancake, and said with a smile, "You can eat some too, now we are marching and fighting, and the living conditions are hard, but no matter what, you have to eat, otherwise your health will be reduced." How can you stand it?"

Chen Hua took the pancake, hesitated for a while, and took a bite. As the eldest lady of the rich Chen family, she used to be well-clothed and well-fed.

Since working with Liang Xiao, the living conditions are not as good as before, but they are also much better than ordinary people. Now when they are marching and fighting, the soldiers’ rations are all such hard pancakes. It seems that they have no appetite. How can they eat it? go down.

There are many people like Chen Hua, just take Chu Xiangxue as an example, Liang Xiao saw that she drank water all the way and didn't eat a mouthful of food.

Liang Xiao ate half a pancake into his stomach after three strokes, five divisions and two 2.

"Master, when we set off, I brought you a few catties of beef from the master's kitchen."

Chen Hua whispered.

Liang Xiao lovingly stroked her face, and said with a smile: "As a military chief, you have to lead by example, let the soldiers see that I am eating beef, but they are eating dry biscuits, what will they think?"

"But you..."

"Take out the beef and share it with the women."

Liang Xiao waved his hands, and said in an unquestionable tone.

"Yes."

Chen Hua had no choice but to obey the order and asked the guards to take out the beef, cut it into small pieces, and distributed them to the female radio operators of the division headquarters and the female nurses of the military medical team.

A few catties of beef are shared among everyone, and it is only a little bit, but even a little bit can replenish physical strength.

"Lei Zhenggang."

"Teacher seat."

"Take care of the troops, I will take the guards to check the terrain nearby."

"Master, let me go."

"obey orders."

"Yes."

Liang Xiao led Chen Hua and the guards along the woods and walked forward.

The further you go, the clearer the gunshots become.

Listening to the movement, it seems that there has been a firefight not long ago.

Walk through the woods, climb over a big mountain, stand on the top of the mountain, and look down at the battle situation below.

The terrain of Liushugou is narrow, which is very suitable for blocking. There are high mountains and lush forests on both sides, and the mobile troops can't use it at all.

Holding the binoculars, he slowly scanned the situation below the willow ditch.

The vanguard of the First Army probably had a battalion of troops, while the vanguard of the Devils was almost a squadron. The two sides engaged in a fierce gun battle relying on the terrain.

Liang Xiao glanced at it for a few times, but it was boring. In his eyes, this kind of small-scale battle was just...playing around.

He sat cross-legged, anyway...he had plenty of time to waste time with the devils, as long as he blocked the devils in the willow ditch and prevented them from taking a step forward, he could also explain the past to the committee member.

"Master, shall we help the First Army?"

Chen Hua asked softly.

"Hu Zongnan is notoriously prudent. He chose to stop the Japanese army in Liushugou. There must be a way to deal with it. If we help him, he won't appreciate it. It's better to let the troops recharge their batteries. It depends on the situation."

Liang Xiao stretched lazily.

"Then what if Hu Zongnan can't hold on?"

Chen Hua asked.

"No, the First Army is one of the five main forces of the national army. If you can't even survive this battle, how can you call it the number one army in the world?"

Liang Xiao is quite confident in the fighting power of the First Army.

"The meaning of the teacher seat is that we sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and when they are almost done fighting, we will come out to pick up bargains."

Chen Hua smiled lightly.

"That's not true. Both the First Army and us belong to the battle order of the national army. As long as there is an opportunity, it is right to help. Besides, it is a critical moment for the whole people to resist the war. Brother troops must unite with sincerity."

What Liang Xiao said was………awe-inspiring, and only he knew exactly what he thought.

Chapter 578 Divide the troops into battle

at noon.

The units of the First Army marched towards the south entrance of Liushugou to defend against the enemy. The large Japanese troops also rushed to the vicinity of Liushugou. Down, rush towards the national army position in the direction of the south entrance of Liushugou.

The National Army troops rely on trees, jungles, and simple trench positions to carry out trapezoidal defense.

The advantage of this kind of defense is that it can avoid the front of the Japanese army and carry out effective blocking. The Japanese army seems to be advancing continuously, but their advancing speed is too slow, and they only advance 500 meters in two hours. At this speed, It is impossible to break through the national army position in Liushugou in a short time.

on top of the mountain.

With the cold wind blowing, Liang Xiao stood facing the wind, holding a binoculars, watching the battle on the narrow path below the mountain.

"The fighting power of this group of devils is far from that of the devils of the Ninth Division. Could it be that this group of devils are not authentic devils?"

Liang Xiao muttered to himself, the devils on the Songhu battlefield were very powerful. The third division, the sixth division, and the ninth division were all units that were good at fighting vicious battles, and their combat effectiveness was very strong. And the combat effectiveness of this army of devils was obvious. much weaker.

"Lin Nan."

"arrive."

"Take a few people to check the number of this devil's army."

"Yes."

Liang Xiao secretly guessed whether this group of devils is the Taiwanese brigade known as the 2 devils.

Historically, in the middle and late stages of the Songhu Battle, Japan’s domestic forces were stretched. In order to occupy Shanghai as soon as possible, they sent the Taiwan brigade to the Songhu Battlefield.

The so-called Taiwan Brigade is a local army formed after the devils occupied Taiwan, and the soldiers are all Taiwanese.

The fighting power of the Taiwan brigade is incomparable with that of the real devils, and is almost the same as that of the domestic local army.

At the foot of the mountain, under the cover of armored vehicles, it took the devils four hours to advance 800 meters, and there were hundreds of casualties.

After more than an hour, Lin Nan brought someone back to report that these devils were not authentic little devils, they were 2 devils from Taiwan.

After investigation, the Taiwan 2 devils have about two regiments in Liushugou, including armored vehicles, tanks, and mountain artillery...heavy weapons.

Liang Xiao instinctively sensed that something was wrong. The telegram sent to him by the committee mentioned that the Japanese army landed at Xiaochuan Shakou. Such combat power.

He suspects that the Japanese troops landing at Xiaochuan Shakou are not limited to the Taiwan brigade, and there may be other devil troops as well.

If his conjecture is true, the devil must have gone somewhere else "Map."

Liang Xiao frowned.

The guard hurriedly took the military map and laid it on the ground. He looked at the map carefully. From Xiaochuan Shakou to Luodian, Liushugou is the only way to go. Besides, there are two roads to go, but these two roads It takes a long circle to go around, and since these two places are guarded by national army troops, the little devil will not seek far.

He looked carefully at the map for a moment, and suddenly said: "No, the target of the little devils is not Luodian. They want to go around from the side and go straight to Baoshan County. If Baoshan is lost, the Japanese army can attack Luodian. , Wusongkou, Shizilin, retreat to enter Wuhu, and cut off the Beijing-Shanghai railway.”

"Go, go see Hu Zongnan."

Liang Xiao collected the military map, hurriedly led the guards down the mountain, and went to the headquarters of the First Army.

The headquarters of the First Army was located in a small village twenty miles away from Liushugou.

After Liang Xiao went down the mountain, he rode a jeep and drove all the way to the headquarters of the First Army.

A staff officer stopped him and said: "General, the military seat is in a meeting, no one should disturb you."

"Go and tell Hu Zongnan that Liang Xiao is visiting."

Liang Xiao knew that it was not easy to trespass in a military important place, so he asked his staff to inform Hu Zongnan.

"General, please wait a moment."

The staff officer learned that the young lieutenant general in front of him was called Liang Xiao, and immediately became uneasy. The national army generals on the Songhu battlefield had all heard of the name of the special agent general, but he didn't expect the real person to stand in front of him, and he couldn't recognize him.

Liang Xiao waited outside for a while.

Hu Zongnan's laughter came from the headquarters.

"Fei Yu, I thought you wouldn't come to see me."

"Brother Shoushan, come here and be safe."

Liang Xiao smiled slightly.

Hu Zongnan was dressed in the uniform of a lieutenant general, walked out of the headquarters with a smile, and said: "When the troops in front were scouting the enemy's situation, they found camouflage troops near Liushugou. I guessed it was your Liang Feiyu's troops."

"Brother Shoushan set up the headquarters twenty miles away from Liushugou, which is not in line with your combat style."

Liang Xiao laughed.

"Those who know me, Feiyu, tell the truth, the reason for setting up the military headquarters twenty miles away from Liushugou is to facilitate the command of the troops here to compete with the Japanese army."

Hu Zongnan Road.

"From Brother Shoushan, it seems that we are going to fight the Japanese army to the death here."

Liang Xiao asked.

"That's right, that's exactly what I mean. The Japanese army in front of my first army is actually not an authentic Japanese army. They are a mixed brigade from Taiwan. Their combat effectiveness is much weaker than that of ordinary Japanese troops. Moreover, this brigade seems to have only five 6000 people,,, and after several battles in our first army, there are still more than 2 people, fully capable of swallowing the Taiwan brigade in one go.”

Hu Zongnan said enthusiastically.

Liang Xiaodao: "Brother Shoushan, do you know the real strength of this Taiwan brigade?"

"According to the establishment of the Japanese army, there are about 9000 people in the Taiwan brigade, close to [-]."

Hu Zongnan Road.

"But the Taiwan tour group in Liushugou only has 6000 people,,, where did the other 3000 people go?"

Liang Xiao asked.

Hu Zongnan never thought about this question.

Perhaps the other troops of the Taiwan brigade are still behind: After all, they just defeated a brigade of the national army and need time to clean up the battlefield.

Hu Zongnan said: "It is your military command's job to engage in intelligence, and our army is only responsible for fighting."

"According to information, regular Japanese troops landed with the Taiwan brigade at Xiaochuan Shakou. After they defeated the troops of the national army, they split into two groups, one to attack Baoshan and the other to support Luodian. Brother Shoushan, I don't know if you pay attention Did you notice the Taiwan brigade equipped with weapons? A second-rate brigade is equipped with the firepower of a standard brigade."

Liang Xiao said slowly.
