Chapter 509: Changes in Southern Anhui
Chapter 509: Changes in Southern Anhui
Hefei city.
Ye Feng had already sent people to gather troops and was ready to march north to join the battlefield in Jiangsu at any time.
The streets outside the building were bustling with people. The people who had been freed from the slavery and persecution of the Japanese devils took to the streets to celebrate their victory, singing, dancing, and laughing.
"The intruders were driven off."
"Good days are coming for the people, hahahaha. Seeing everyone smiling, all our efforts are worth it."
Commander Ye walked in, his face flushed with smile, and asked, "What's wrong? Why does the commander of our independent reorganized division have such a frown on his face? How about this, we also go to the streets and have fun with the people?"
It can be seen that Commander Ye is in a good mood, which is very different from his usual majestic and solemn image.
Ye Feng said, "Our troops have fought continuously in Shanghai, Jiangsu, and Anhui, and have achieved considerable results. We have also recovered a large area of occupied mountains and rivers, and saved countless people from dire straits. However, some people may not want to see us develop rapidly, and do not want to see us grow rapidly in strength!"
some people?
Commander Ye's eyes moved, and he immediately understood the hidden meaning in Ye Feng's words.
Who else doesn't want to see the underground party's anti-Japanese armed forces grow stronger?
The Japanese for sure.
Another one is the southwestern mountain city.
The old man in Shancheng has always regarded the underground party as a serious threat and he wants to eradicate it completely.
In addition to the "Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei" base area, the underground party now has another "Shanghai-Jiangsu-Anhui" base area.
How could the old man in Shancheng not be anxious and angry?
Ye Feng said worriedly, "We are their biggest concern, and our strength is getting stronger. To deal with us, the thorn in their side, the old man in Shancheng may change his war strategy and stop fighting the Japanese to death. Instead, he will use most of his troops to target our development. In this way, our situation will be bad."
Southern Anhui.
Close to the Central Plains, Hubei, there are more than 200,000 elite Japanese Kwantung Army troops, posing a huge threat.
What if the Japanese and Yamashiro tacitly agreed to a ceasefire?
The Japanese could then temporarily escape from the quagmire of the "Southwest Battlefield" and mobilize their troops to move eastward.
How to resist tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of elite Japanese troops heading towards Anhui?
Given the nature of the Japanese Supreme Command, once a major war breaks out, they will never send only one force.
They may move south from Shandong and attack Jiangsu.
Advance northward from the direction of Guangdong and Guangxi and attack Shanghai.
Until then.
The three provinces of Shanghai, Jiangsu and Anhui will all face large-scale military threats from enemies in different directions.
Commander Ye thought for a moment and said:
"Given the old man's temper in Shancheng, I estimate that he has held several war meetings to discuss how to target our underground party's armed forces."
"We have to face pressure from both sides at the same time. If the war breaks out, southern Anhui will not be able to be defended."
"Well, it would be great if we were given another half a year or a year."
Shanghai, Jiangsu and Anhui were taken.
But it also takes time to digest the results of the war, to develop the economy, to expand the troops, and to train new soldiers.
Everything takes time to plan and complete.
at this time.
A soldier ran in hurriedly, looking anxious:
"Emergency military information from the front line. The troops stationed at Taihu Lake were suddenly attacked by the Japanese. The enemy is fierce. There are about three squadrons of troops, encircling and attacking. Although our troops fought back, they are still trapped in the encirclement. Urgently request support."
"Taihe and Linquan in the east were also attacked by the Japanese. The enemy numbers are more than three times that of ours. Currently, the two places are relying on the city walls and are still resisting tenaciously, but it is difficult to resist the Japanese attack."
After listening to the information.
Commander Ye laughed angrily, "These little devils are really difficult to deal with. They actually used the same sparrow harassment tactics we used before."
Then he immediately issued an order to the troops covering nearby to quickly engage in battle.
Now in Anhui Province.
The underground party’s anti-Japanese armed forces were not weak, with as many as 24,000 people able to engage in combat.
With so many troops, it is more than enough to defend the eastern border of Anhui.
Ye Feng looked at the map and said, "Commander, the Japanese are sending troops to the northeast and southwest at the same time, but they are not attacking from the east. Do you think there is some conspiracy here?"
If the Japanese attacked from the east, they would definitely pass through Lu'an.
Hefei is next to Lu'an.
Ye Feng and Commander Ye are both in charge here. Are the Japanese afraid?
"not good!"
Ye Feng immediately stood up and said with a shocked expression, "The Japanese may carry out a more inhumane massacre this time. Commander, you are in charge of the Japanese troops in Taihui. I will rush to Linquan immediately."
Commander Ye also came to his senses and slammed the table. "Damn Japs, after losing the war, are they going to vent their anger on ordinary people? What a bunch of beasts."
A few minutes later, Ye Feng led a battalion and boarded a truck, rushing quickly to Linquan in the northeast of Anhui.
More than two hundred miles.
Ye Feng and his team drove at full speed all the way, thinking that they could stop the bloodshed.
Unfortunately, when Ye Feng and the others arrived, it was already too late.
Most of Linquan.
at this time……
It's like a red hell on earth.
In the village in front of Ye Feng, the houses were leaning this way and that, swaying in the cold wind. Many houses had been blown down. Among the ruins, one could see traces of blood and shocking body fragments.
Nearby haystacks, trees, firewood, etc. were also ignited and burned ragingly.
A village of several hundred people.
Only a few dozen people survived, all of them were the lonely and pitiful elderly, the weak, women and children.
Where have all the men gone?
The west entrance of the village.
Under the big tree here, the ground was scarlet, covered with countless bloody corpses of civilians.
In order to protect their elderly parents, their wives and children, these men fought the invaders without hesitation.
But they are not regular army troops!
There are not even any weapons.
These men fought desperately, holding kitchen knives, hoes, and sickles, and used their lives and blood to cover their loved ones' escape.
Many people have a faint smile on their faces instead of fear before they die.
"What the hell!"
Ye Feng clenched his fists, his eyes already blazing with anger.
The other soldiers were angrier than each other, and all had hateful expressions on their faces, as if they wanted to eat the Japanese devils alive.
In the cold wind.
A ruined village, ruins all over the ground, and heart-wrenching screams.
Babies were crying, old people were kneeling on the ground sobbing, and women were crying with their faces covered, tears streaming down their faces. They fell beside their men, tears in their eyes and bleeding hearts.
