Lost and Spy

Chapter 963 Reinforcements are here
After entering Hefei, the situation began to change.

It has almost reached Meng Shaoyuan's sphere of influence.

Hefei fell on May 1938, 5, and soon became the granary of the Japanese army.

The resistance of the Hefei National Army lasted less than a day.

To be more precise, only a dozen hours.

Insufficient combat effectiveness is a factor.

The real reason is that the Japanese army had sufficient and terrifying intelligence before attacking Hefei.

And this information comes from the "China Provincial Biquanzhi" compiled by the famous Japanese spy agency East Asia Dobunkai.

This is the only Chinese chronicle compiled by foreigners.Among them, volume No.12 is the part of AH province.

About Hefei, there are a full 20 words, describing in detail the economic and social development of Hefei at that time, including population, economy, transportation, agriculture, industry, finance, commerce, import and export trade, etc.

In other words, before the war began, Hefei had no secrets for the Japanese.

Intelligence work was most vividly reflected in the Battle of Hefei.

The Japanese army also regarded AH Province as an important granary like Jiangsu Province.

Fight for war.

This is the strategy that the Japanese formulated early on.

However, the resistance of AH and Jiangsu soldiers and civilians to the Japanese army has never stopped.

National, Communist, and local armed forces and popular organizations have always been frequently active behind enemy lines.

The strategy that Meng Shaoyuan formulated before was to use Shanghai as the base camp, use Jiangsu as the general base, and continue to infiltrate into surrounding provinces and cities.

AH, Zhejiang, Shandong and other provinces have long been active with the power of the Meng Shaoyuan faction.

Especially the Battle of Wuhan, and the upcoming Battle of Changsha, caused Japan to deploy a large number of troops from AH, Jiangsu and other places, leaving local defenses empty and giving the enemy's armed forces great room for survival and development.

This period is also known as the period of rapid development of armed forces behind enemy lines.

The strategy of exchanging space for time has achieved initial results.

The Japanese army began to struggle with the use of troops.

Therefore, after 1938, more and more Taiwanese soldiers and Korean soldiers began to appear on the battlefield.

The occupied land regarded as the rear by the Japanese army mainly relied on the puppet army, coupled with a small number of Japanese troops.

It was under such circumstances that Meng Shaoyuan arrived in Hefei with a group of children.

Those who came to greet him were even more unexpected.

It is his two giants:
Kong Chuanbo, and Yuan Zhonghe who was transferred to northern Jiangsu!

"District Chief Meng!"

Seeing these two people, Meng Shaoyuan was startled: "Why are you here?"

Yuan Zhonghe is one of the "Seven Tigers of the Military Command", and Meng Shaoyuan's old brother, so it is easier to speak: "Wu Jingyi called from above, and sent a secret telegram to each of us detachment leaders, saying that you are passing by. It's okay, if you hurt a little fur, we won't live, and I don't feel relieved to send someone else, I have to bring someone myself when I think about it."

Kong Chuanbo needless to say.

His life was saved by Meng Shaoyuan, and Meng Shaoyuan appointed him an important task, and became a great official in the frontier. I don't know how grateful I am to Meng Shaoyuan.

As soon as he heard that Meng Shaoyuan was in trouble, Xingye led people from Jurong to Hefei.

Only then did Meng Shaoyuan understand, and looked at Yuan Zhonghe and Kong Chuanbo: "You can, eat fat and strong one by one, old Yuan, you are really blessed."

"Drag your blessings, drag your blessings." Yuan Zhonghe said with a smile: "The Japanese are all looking at Changsha. Ours is relatively peaceful. It's not a comfortable life, so how long will it grow if you don't grow meat?" Meat."

into ah.

These people are the most reliable weapons in their hands.

When Meng Shaoyuan saw the two old subordinates, he immediately felt confident, and called all the team members who escorted him here:
"Brothers, thank you for your hard work. When I get here, my people will take over. All the martyrs who escorted the children to death along the way, no matter what faction they belong to, I will report truthfully!"

The two captains saluted silently:

"Bon Voyage!"

"Take care of yourself!"

Along the way, too many people died.

And the thirty children were unharmed.

Their parents, the spirits in the sky should be watching there.

"Old Yuan, how many people did you bring?" Meng Shaoyuan asked casually.

The old subordinates are here. If you don’t bring 100 people, at least you have to bring 80 people, right?
Unexpectedly, Yuan Zhonghe blurted out:

"Five."

"How many?" Meng Shaoyuan almost jumped up: "Five?"

"Yes?" Yuan Zhonghe felt baffled: "There are few people, so they come quickly."

Meng Shaoyuan was almost stunned, and quickly asked Kong Chuanbo, "What about you?"

"I lead more people than Brother Yuan."

You see, Kong Chuanbo is still serious about his work: "How many?"

"Six."

Meng Shaoyuan almost fainted: "Xiao Zhong, hurry up, call those people back to me."

"District Chief Meng." Yuan Zhonghe smiled: "What do you need so many people for? It's not because you want to conquer Hefei. Wait for someone here. When that person comes, we will enter Hefei."

Meng Shaoyuan was so angry that his seven orifices were filled with smoke.

How many reinforcements did they expect so much?

There are eleven people, one is short of opening three tables of mahjong.

"Their weapons."

Yuan Zhonghe suddenly pointed at Li Zhifeng and the others: "Don't bring them into Hefei."

"That won't work!" Li Zhifeng said immediately: "Weapons are the foundation of a soldier. What should we do if we meet the Japanese?"

"My brother." Yuan Zhonghe said with a smile: "It was really discovered by the Japanese. Are these people and weapons enough? We will enter Hefei in batches, and find a few brothers to help you bring in your weapons. Don't worry, there won't be a single bullet missing."

Kong Chuanbo actually echoed from the sidelines.

"Give it to them, give it to them."

Meng Shaoyuan was furious: "Yuan Zhonghe, Kong Chuanbo, why the hell do I think you guys have betrayed and are going to sell me to the Japanese?"

"Cheng, Cheng, District Chief Meng, we have rebelled, we are shameless, are we done?"

Yuan Zhonghe greeted the three people, gathered the weapons of Li Zhifeng's guards, put them on an ox cart he brought, and left quickly.

Yep, three more people missing.

"Shameless, shameless!"

Meng Shaoyuan was still cursing there.

Yuan Zhonghe whispered to Kong Chuanbo: "In terms of shamelessness, who can compare to our young master Meng? This time he lost a hair, and he has to give us small shoes to wear when he returns to Shanghai."

"Really?"

"Really, we old brothers don't know him yet?"

Just as he was speaking, Yuan Zhonghe pointed behind him:
"Look, here we come."

Who is it?

Meng Shaoyuan and his men turned their heads and saw several ox carts approaching slowly.

Why does the one in the lead look familiar?

After taking a closer look, Meng Shaoyuan blurted out:

"Xin Zhuangwen?"

Isn't he the son of the brigade commander of the Yunnan Army?
He was rescued by Meng Shaoyuan in Shanghai, and then he must stay with Meng Shaoyuan's Xin Zhuangwen?
Xin Zhuangwen ran a few steps and stood at attention:
"Report to District Chief Meng, Xin Zhuangwen has been ordered to report!"
