Beacon starts from the departure of a strong man

Chapter 417 Don't Believe A Word

Yu Hua's words also alerted Sun Zhen. He took a bite of the food and looked at the big guy, "That's right!"

"Let's fight devils, we really can't count on Europa, these Europa people are all fucking villains."

After Sun Zhen stayed with Yu Hua for a long time, he also learned a lot about Europa's double-standard performance from Yu Hua.

Xue Huhu took out a piece of meat from the clear soup, chewed it slowly and nodded, "Old Maozi confessed to the Japanese army this time, which also shows that we can't put our hopes on others."

"Adjutant Yu's words are wise words. The main force of the war of resistance is the army of the Republic of China. It is unrealistic to rely on others to assist."

After experiencing this incident, Sun Lianzhong, Li Pinxian, Zhang Fakui and others also agreed with Yu Hua's statement in their hearts, that outsiders cannot be trusted.

During this gathering, the Zhang Fakui Corps and Xue Huhu Corps of the Central Army, Sun Lianzhong and Li Pinxian Corps all established deep ties with the Sichuan Army, especially Xue Huhu.

At this gathering, he repeatedly established a relationship with Sun Zhen, talking about the battle in Wuhan, and the two sides should cooperate to avoid the scene of the battle in Lanfeng.

Xue Huhu was very emotional about the loss of the Lanfeng Battle in his heart, which was a stain in his command career.

However, Principal Chang had already shot Long Muhan, so the matter was over, so Xue Huo had no choice but to say no more. He hoped that he would cooperate with the 22nd Army of the Sichuan Army to make a comeback in the Battle of Wuhan.

Sun Zhen patted his chest and said, there is no problem. The 22nd Army is a mobile force in this battle in Wuhan, and it will definitely help everyone when the time comes.

In this battle of Wuhan, the Sichuan Army was joined by two armies, the 22nd Army and the 27th Army.

Due to the bloody battle of the 22nd Army in Xuzhou, three divisions were left to fight guerrilla in Lu Province, and the troops are now dissatisfied. At the military meeting, Sun Zhen proposed to let the 22nd Army of the Sichuan Army move.

This matter was approved by the Jinling Command in Hankou, and the 27th Group Army was deployed in Anqing as a defensive force.

The two armies of the 27th Group Army, of which the newly formed First Army, suffered half of the casualties after defeating Teng County, and are now withdrawing to the rear to rest and replenish their forces.

After the party, Yu Hua approached Sun Zhen, "Brother Sun, please make a call and contact Commander-in-Chief Yang."

"According to my judgment, it is very likely that the Japanese army will raid Anqing and make him ready."

Sun Zhen heard, "Is this devil so fast?"

"According to the pissing nature of the previous Xuzhou battle, shouldn't the little devil have some trouble with the navy?"

Yu Hua briefly told Sun Zhen that the situation is different this time, the Devils navy and army are mixed together.

Sun Zhen called Yang Sen. After the call was connected, Yang Sen said that he had sent a group to Anqing.

Upon hearing this, Yu Hua said to Yang Sen beside him, "Old sir, one regiment is not strong enough, you have to send at least two regiments."

"Anqing's geographical location is very important. This place cannot be lost, otherwise it will have a negative impact on our subsequent operations."

Anqing, now the capital of Southern Anhui Province, is located on the north bank of the Yangtze River in the southwestern part of Anhui Province, between the two major cities of Jinling and Wuhan.

Going south you can reach Jiujiang in Gan Province, and going north you can reach Huangmei in Hubei Province.Because it is extremely important in military geography, there is a saying that "the Yangtze River is blocked here, and Wu and Chu are the first states in the border area."

In the later period of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, a fierce battle for Anqing broke out here. Zeng Guofan tried his best to capture Anqing and used it as a base to finally conquer Jinling.

For the government of the Republic of China, Anqing must be defended, and for the Japanese army, it must be attacked, because Anqing is in the hands of the army of the Republic of China, and it is a sharp sword that is inserted into the chest of the Japanese army.

In the Central China Front Army Command.

Hata Junliu is still the commander. Although the Sichuan army counterattacked Shanghai last time and caused some damage to the Japanese army, the troops of the Central China Front returned to defense quickly.

Several divisions went south to encircle the Republic of China troops in the third war zone, sweeping the mountains, and achieved certain results.

This also allows Shunroku Hata to report to the base camp, and now he is in a state of meritorious service.

"Everyone!" Hata Junliu looked at everyone, "According to the order of the base camp, the task of capturing Anqing is now carried out by our Central China Front Army."

"Which of you is willing to take the initiative! Fight for the empire and be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor."

Shigeichi Hada stood up from his seat, "Your Excellency, Commander, I am willing to lead my troops to take the lead."

"Yoshi!" Hata Toshiroku smiled happily, seeing Shigeichi Natata take the initiative to stand up, he was in a good mood.

During the Battle of Wuhan, the Japanese army also mobilized a lot of troops. Among them, on the Wanwan Island side, there were several infantry regiments with extra processing troops, artillery, and heavy troops, which were included in the Central China Front Army.

Hata Shigeichi served as the commander. Although the old devil Chiaki Shigeto led the troops to be wiped out by the Sichuan army last time, he reported to Terauchi Shouichi.

The garrison troops of Wanwan Island cannot be used in a concentrated manner. Once the battle is defeated, these soldiers of Wanwan Island will surrender, which will put the imperial army in a disadvantageous situation.

However, the soldiers on Wanwan Island can be used as cannon fodder to reduce the losses of the imperial soldiers.

Hata Toshiro pondered for a while and then said: "After all, there is a group army of the Sichuan Army stationed in Anqing, and the strength of the Hata detachment is too thin."

"So, I propose to increase the force to attack Anqing, Inaba Shiro."

"Hi!" Seeing that he was being called by the commander, Inaba Shiro stood up immediately: "Your Excellency, Commander, please order."

"Yoxi!" Hata Junliu smiled slightly: "I appointed you as the commander-in-chief to capture Anqing, and the Botian detachment is under your control."

"Remember, for the capture of Anqing this time, the Sixth Division must let Bo Tian's detachment take the main attack, and your department will cooperate."

Inaba Shiro nodded, "Hi!"

"Your Excellency, Commander, please rest assured that our Sixth Division will definitely bring you good news."

As the sixth division in the central China front army, the combat effectiveness of the unit is strong, Inaba Shiro is very confident that he can win Anqing.

As an officer who had just arrived in the Far East battlefield, Hata Shigeichi was very eager for military exploits, so after the meeting ended, he assembled the troops non-stop.

As a pioneer, the Hada detachment moved very quickly. In one night, Shigeichi Hada pulled the troops to Wuhu.

Zhongyi spent another two days in Wuhu to prepare, and then led the troops to attack Anqing.

The Botian detachment was going down the river at a very fast speed. When Botian Shigeichi was only [-] kilometers away from Anqing, the independent brigade led by Yu Hua was still [-] kilometers away from Anqing.

Last time Yu Hua suggested that Yang Sen strengthen Anqing's defense, but the 27th Army's strength is a bit weak now. Apart from Anqing, there are still several strategic locations that need to be defended.

After Yang Sen communicated with Yu Hua, Yu Hua decided to lead his own independent brigade to help Anqing. Right now, Yu Hua is leading troops to station in a small county [-] kilometers away from Anqing.

The Independent Brigade was fighting in a rush, and left in a hurry. Now that the food and grass had been exhausted, it had to be replenished in this small county.

After the Independent Brigade arrived in Yangqing County, Yu Hua first went to the county government to find local officials.

Due to the sharp contrast between the Battle of Lanfeng and the Battle of Xuzhou, this time the Jinling High Command issued a death order to the local government in Wuhan.

No one was allowed to leave without receiving an order to retreat, and those who violated the order were shot. At first, some local officials in Wuhan felt that this was a trivial order.

Several local government officials quietly tried to leave, but were caught and shot by the local military commander and central commander. This shocked many local officials.

At the county government office building, County Magistrate Wan led a group of officials to receive Yu Hua. He had received the order in advance.

An army arrived in Yangqing County and asked him to receive it. Wan Guoguang looked at his secretary: "Go and make a phone call and ask, where is the army?" "It stands to reason that the army should have arrived at this point ah!"

"Yes!" Just as Wan Guoguang's secretary was about to leave, the sound of horseshoes suddenly came from the street.

"Da da da!" The sound of horseshoes let Wan Guoguang know that it must be the chief of the army.

Sure enough, soon Wan Guoguang and his party saw dozens of people coming on horseback.

"I'm coming……"

Wan Guoguang and his party shouted loudly.

I saw Yu Hua and his party riding white and black horses, rolling up waves of sand and dust, galloping from a distance.

Wan Guoguang was also a man who knew soldiers in his early years. Judging from the mental outlook of this army, this is an elite army. The soldiers are all big and round, with a good complexion.

Yu Hua was wearing a gray and black military coat and riding boots on his feet.The army coat was originally yellow, but it was seized by the Sichuan army in an ambush of the Japanese army transport team, and the riding boots were also seized from the devils.

When Wan Guoguang saw that the leader was equipped with a military coat and riding boots, he knew that this was the leader of the army.

After looking at Yu Hua, Wan Guoguang set his eyes on the soldiers behind him.

I saw that this group of soldiers had a pair of guns stuck in their waists, both of which were 20-gun shell guns, equipped with five or six magazines at the same time, and a saber slung across their shoulders.

The group of soldiers looked very majestic, like tigers descending from the mountain.Yu Hua led his troops until they were less than three meters in front of Wan Guoguang and others before pulling the reins.

"Yoooooo..."

Immediately, the horse stood upright on its feet and let out a cry, which shocked the local officials at the scene.

Because if you don't pay attention to this, it is very likely that the horse will bump wildly. Wan Guoguang understands that this is the opponent's blow to the horse.

Yu Hua jumped off the horse and threw the reins, Wei Dayong followed immediately, and the rest of the soldiers dismounted in unison.

Wan Guoguang greeted him first, "My lord, Wan Guoguang, welcome to Adjutant Yu."

Wan Guoguang took a look at the group of soldiers. The twenty-gun pistol was new, the saber was brand new, and even the cowhide bag with the magazines was shiny.

These soldiers are really rich enough!The first thought that popped up in Wan Guoguang's mind.

Yu Hua looked at Wan Guoguang and said, "Hello, Magistrate Wan."

Wan Guoguang and Yu Hua shook hands, and they complimented each other.

Then Wan Guoguang said: "Adjutant Yu, please!"

"I'm ready for the cleansing banquet."

Yu Hua waved his hand: "The feast of cleaning up the wind and dust, I will skip it!"

"Just ask the back chef to cook a bowl of noodles for each of us."

"Ah, this?!" Wan Guoguang was dumbfounded, how could he answer the question!
"Adjutant Yu!" Wan Guoguang's secretary said at this time: "Our county magistrate has been preparing for a long time. If you don't go to the clean-up banquet, won't it be wasted?"

"Waste?" Yu Hua waved his hand, "Look this way." Yu Hua pointed to the refugees on the street.

"Let this group of refugees eat the feast of cleansing the wind and dust! It's not a waste!"

When Wan Guoguang's secretary was about to speak, Wan Guoguang stepped forward to Yu Hua's side, "All right, all right...just do what Adjutant Yu said."

"Secretary Li, go make arrangements and prepare noodles for Adjutant Yu's subordinates."

Since Yu Hua did not go to the welcome banquet, many officials of the local government also let Yu Huali send him away, leaving only Wan Guoguang to stay.

In one room, after Yu Hua finished eating the noodles, he said straight to the point: "County Wan, according to the previous order, my troops need to replenish food and grass here."

"Are you ready for this food?!"

County Magistrate Wan nodded: "Ready, here is the list, please read it, Adjutant Yu."

Yu Hua took a look at the list and found that it was the food he needed.

"Adjutant Yu, there is nothing wrong with this list, just sign it!" County Magistrate Wan said, looking at Yu Hua eagerly.

Hearing this, Yu Hua frowned slightly, "I didn't get anything out of the warehouse, and you asked me to sign it? County Magistrate Wan, this is not in compliance with the rules!"

After saying that, Yu Hua looked at Wan Guoguang playfully.

"Adjutant Yu, this supply has always been like this, and it can only be shipped out after signing."

Seeing what Wan Guoguang said, Yu Hua grinned sneeringly, "County Wan, after I signed this, the grain and grass delivered from the warehouse are wrong, what should I do!?"

Yu Hua was very clear about County Magistrate Wan's thoughts. With his signature, the grain and grass that would be shipped out of the warehouse would be wrong, and County Magistrate Wan would definitely blame him.

He is too lazy to argue with County Magistrate Wan now, and directly asks to leave the warehouse before signing.

Wan Guoguang had heard that the Sichuan army was difficult to deal with before, so he was going to use the reception banquet to get Yu Hua and others drunk first, and then trick him into signing.

Unexpectedly, the clean-up banquet was not completed, and now Yu Hua had to go out of the warehouse first, which made it very difficult for County Magistrate Wan.

"County Wan, you are not reselling my grain and grass, are you?!"

Yu Hua played with the teacup in his hand and looked at Wan Guoguang.

During the war, Yu Hua also knew that some officials were enriching their own pockets by reselling supplies. He drank a glass of warm water and said, "Mayor Wan, I will put my words here."

"The grain and fodder for my independent brigade must be shipped out of the warehouse before signing, and the quantity of grain and fodder must not be less at all."

County Magistrate Wan's expression was not very good. He looked at Yu Hua, "Adjutant Yu, the front troops are in urgent need of troops, and the war is imminent. If you delay the military situation, you will have to go to a military court."

Hearing this, Yu Hua sneered, "You threaten me!"

"No...no..." County Magistrate Wan waved his hand, "I didn't say that, Anqing's military situation is urgent, Adjutant Yu, you should sign first!"

"After signing, the grain will be released from the warehouse immediately, and Adjutant Yu will be able to lead troops to help Anqing smoothly, which is good for both parties."

Yu Hua grinned coldly, "Stop talking nonsense, I'll leave it here, if you don't let me out of the warehouse first tonight, I will be rude to you."

County Magistrate Wan was also angry, "Yu Hua, I'll tell you the truth, I'm a member of the military command, when this batch of food and grass was pulled out, part of it was missing, and the people above were already greedy, and I can't make up for it now. together."

"You should sign first. If you want to argue about this matter, go and argue with the higher authorities."

Yu Hua smiled at the words of County Magistrate Wan. If an ordinary general listened to County Magistrate Wan's words, he might believe them.

However, Yu Hua didn't believe a word of Wan county magistrate's words.
