After receiving a telegram from Hu Biao, Xu Yuanquan, who was supervising the defense deployment on the front line, was somewhat surprised. When the infantry brigade arrived in Shucheng earlier, Xu Yuanquan was worried that he would become Hu Biao's scapegoat and the target of the Japanese army's anger.

As a result, no one expected that the infantry brigade, which had just arrived in Shucheng and had not yet gained a foothold, disappeared overnight. If Lin Jian had not returned to report in person and pulled back several large chariots of weapons, Xu Yuanquan would have really not believed that this was true.

As the Japanese infantry brigade that reinforced Shucheng was annihilated, the dark clouds that were pressing on the head of the 26th Army naturally dissipated. After being nervous for a whole day, the defensive troops could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

I thought the Japanese army would continue to send reinforcements, but after waiting for a day, I still didn't see the Japanese reinforcements. After finding out this information, Xu Yuanquan and Hu Biao thought the Japanese should be afraid.

If it were other commanders, they would probably not choose to take risks like the Japanese division commander. A small Shucheng actually ruined half of the elite division. Then they would draw troops from the division. How can they fight in the future?

Since the 13th Division marched into Anhui Province, it has fought several times with the anti-Japanese war troops stationed in Anhui Province. It has defeated not many anti-Japanese troops and occupied more than half of the cities in Anhui Province. However, its own casualties can be almost negligible.

Who would have thought that just when the 13th Division was about to complete the full occupation of Anhui Province, there were accidents in the rear one after another. Not only did the occupied cities go in a mess, but half of the elite troops in the division were also brought in.

Faced with Hu Biao's suggestion that the 26th Army should send troops to take over Shucheng, Xu Yuanquan also felt that this opportunity was good. Judging from the current situation, as long as Hu Biao and his troops were in Anhui Province, the Japanese would not be able to get a bargain.

This also means that even if Xu Yuanquan sends troops to take over Shucheng, there is no need to worry about the Japanese counterattacking in a short time. Even if the Japanese will not give up the combat plan to occupy the entire Anhui Province, they will have to wait until the subsequent reinforcements arrive before taking action.

After some discussion, Xu Yuanquan drew a strengthening regiment from the two main divisions under his command and personally led him to Shucheng. As for Huoshan, it should be safer than Shucheng during this period.

When Xu Yuanquan led his troops to Shucheng, Hu Biao also waited outside Shucheng with his guard regiment for a long time. Looking at Shucheng, which had become ruins, Xu Yuanquan also smiled bitterly and said, "If you fight like this, how can you garrison the troops next!"

"Although it's a pity, I still think it's worth it. If every small town can make the Japanese kill thousands of lives, we won't be so embarrassed by the Japanese. If they are broken, they can't be rebuilt.

For us at present, don’t care about these bricks and tiles. Although I have blown up this county town, I can still garrison troops after cleaning up. As long as the situation is safe, it will be lively again soon!"

"But now, there is a truly safe place in this world!"

Looking at Xu Yuanquan with a wry smile, Hu Biao, who accompanied him to visit the city, didn't say much. After last night's explosion and fierce battle, Shucheng now looks really dilapidated. But the three walls are still well preserved.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to visit, Hu Biao also briefly introduced the battle to Xu Yuanquan. Hu Biao did not take the complimentary words Xu Yuanquan said to him. Hu Biao kept going in his left ear and out of his right ear!

Arriving at the Japanese military camp that had been re-leveled, Hu Biao pointed to the cannons placed on the open space and said, "Brother, these cannons are my farewell gifts. Unfortunately, I don't have many shells stored here, so I will save some use of shells at that time.

As for the wounded soldiers of the guard regiment, I will take them away next. I know that they are all the backbones carefully selected by my brother. But I have many new recruits in my hands and need some backbones to help. Will I give this favor, right?"

Faced with Hu Biao's outspokenness, Xu Yuanquan also smiled and said, "Brother, you are polite! Speaking of which, thanks to my help, I solved my worries this time. The time I have won is enough for me to re-provision the defense deployment.

I know I am not an ordinary person. Those bastards can follow you, which is their luck. I just hope that I can take care of them more in the future. At least I hope that we can keep in touch in the future and communicate with each other!”

"This is natural! In the future, we will contact the radio station. If there is any profitable transaction, I will give you one to me at that time!"

As Hu Biao predicted, it is undoubtedly unwise to have a quarrel with Hu Biao for the sake of a few military backbones. Moreover, those military backbones choose to follow Hu Biao and force staying will only make the backbones complain.

Even so, it would be better to be a favor and get a lot of benefits. At least in this kind of exchange of interests, Xu Yuanquan is the one who benefits the most, not Hu Biao. If it were other generals of the Anti-Japanese War, they would probably think that Xu Yuanquan had made a lot of money.

After negotiating the transaction and contact with the future, Hu Biao did not continue to stay in Shucheng. After seeing off Xu Yuanquan and Lin Jian in person, he got on the car prepared in advance, intending to drive to Lu'an overnight to continue to trouble the Japanese.

Looking at the car that was leaving, Lin Jian, who was staying beside Xu Yuanquan, sighed slightly: "Military Commander Hu will probably find it difficult to meet again in the future. If he is willing to stay, we don't have to worry about the Japanese attack!"

"This is a general of dragons and tigers, and we can't keep it. Fortunately, we have established a relationship with him and will eventually have a fate of incense. If this person does not die, his future will be limitless. This incense will always be useful in the future!"

Although Hu Biao was just a colonel, Xu Yuanquan was already a lieutenant general. However, during the interactions, Xu Yuanquan did not dare to act like a general at all. In Hu Biao's eyes, he did not see Hu Biao's fear of him.

Thinking that Hu Biao didn't even give face to recruit Jiang Jiang, how could he dare to conquer Hu Biao with a general like him?

When Hu Biao and his team's convoy left, Xu Yuanquan said with a serious expression: "Xiaolin, after the troops return to Huoshan, I will give you two days to rest and then give me some good training. If there is a shortage of personnel, the entire army will be your choice.

I only have one request, and I hope you will restore the combat effectiveness of the guard regiment as soon as possible. This time, you will command the guard regiment to bring glory to our 26th Army. I just hope that you can continue to command the guard regiment and make new contributions to our army!"

"Please rest assured that the military captain is Lin Jian will do his best and will not let the military captain down!"

Through Lin Jian's report and explanation, Xu Yuanquan also knew that Hu Biao had a strong combat strength and extremely well-equipped army. In order to build a fist force, Xu Yuanquan felt that he should spend more time.

With this cooperation with Hu Biao, the 26th Army is no longer short of weapons and ammunition, and even has a lot of supplies. It is still necessary to take advantage of the relatively stable situation and strengthen the guard regiment.

When there is a tough battle in the future, Xu Yuanquan also hopes that the guard regiment can withstand it. As long as the troops he commands can compete with the Japanese in the future, Xu Yuanquan believes that those who are far away in the mountain city will not dare to ignore his existence.

With the deal he had negotiated with Hu Biao, Xu Yuanquan felt that he should be able to make more extra money with the pharmaceutical business in the future. With money, he could recruit soldiers and buy more materials. His army could also quickly recover his strength.

If you want to survive in this war era, you can only continue to increase your own strength. No matter the big bosses in the mountain city or the Japanese who bit them, you will not dare to ignore the existence of Xu Yuanquan in the future. This is the effect of the gun being hardened!

Hu Biao didn't think anything was wrong about Xu Yuanquan's plan to use the Guard Corps as the foundation to forge a truly elite force. However, I believe Xu Yuanquan still couldn't do this if he wanted to train the Guard Corps into a task force.

Some things are not only rich and weapons, but also need to know how to train. In this regard, Hu Biao is a real expert. Even if Lin Jian learns something, he will only be in the form of a cat and a tiger!

When Hu Biao was rushing to Lu'an by car, the reconnaissance team led by Xu Sandao had already entered Lu'an in advance. In order to ensure the safety of subsequent troops' march, the reconnaissance team must also understand the situation in the border area.

In order to restrain the attention of the Japanese troops in Lu'an, Hu Biao even sent a telegram to Yu Xuezhong, who was stationed in Lu'an, hoping that he would send some elite troops to cause some trouble for the Japanese stationed around Lu'an.

When Hu Biao leads his troops to Lu'an, he will also look for opportunities to attack. If he can defeat the remaining unit of the Japanese division, the big sword that has been hanging above Xuezhong's head will be removed. Yu Xuezhong should also understand this.

The result was obvious that just as the Japanese division was waiting for the intelligence collected by the Special High School and then decided on the next combat plan, many of the Japanese guards deployed on the periphery were raided and raided by Yu Xuezhong's troops.

Although this harassment and raid did not cause much trouble for the Japanese division. However, after receiving the information sent back by the alert troops, the Japanese division commander also said in surprise: "Where is Na? The Chinese army has left the city and launched an attack on us?"

"Secretary Commander, from the current situation, it should be just a harassment and temptation. If nothing unexpected happens, the defenders in Lu'an City should have known what happened in Shucheng. This move should be to test our reaction."

"Baga! These Chinese defenders are really looking for death!"

For many Japanese commanders, they always felt that if they didn't cause trouble for the defenders, the defenders should be glad. Now, the defenders who had been hiding in the city have now dared to send troops out of the city and take the initiative to cause trouble for them.

If it were before, they would have drawn elite troops without saying a word to launch a siege. But at present, the division has shortage of troop strength and is indeed unable to organize a large-scale siege. When they think of this, the Japanese commanders were also frustrated.

But as far as the current situation is concerned, they can’t help the defenders in the city, and the defenders in the city shouldn’t be able to do anything about them. As the saying goes, a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and the Japanese division at this moment cannot be underestimated even if it is damaged!
