In order to avoid leaking the news too early, Hu Biao, who had left Fenning City, left the task force reserve company. The task of this company was very simple, which was to completely blockade Fenning City like ruins and hunt down the Japanese troops who escaped from the city.

Considering that the city of Fenning was covered with smoke from the explosion of special bombs, Hu Biao also ordered the officers and soldiers of the Preparatory Company not to go into the city for search. He guarded outside the city and only hunted the Japanese who tried to leave the city to report the news, delaying the transfer time for the main force.

Several reconnaissance teams had been sent to lurk in several towns closest to Fenning City. As a result, when the battle ended, the Japanese in these towns did not move at all. This shows that the Japanese army was not aware of the loss of Fenning City to the surrounding areas.

Taking advantage of the situation that the Japanese army was not yet aware, Hu Biao immediately commanded the troops to quickly move and jumped out of the encirclement that the Japanese army might have laid. Only in this way can we truly ensure the transfer and security of the main forces, and those prisoners of war can be properly placed.

He sent a telegram to Xu Sandao, who was in charge of blocking the enemy, asked him to continue to perform the task of blocking the enemy, blowing up the roads and bridges from Fenning to Hunan Province, delaying the retreat of the Japanese main force to northern Jiangxi, and giving the Ninth War Zone more time to pursue.

At the same time, Hu Biao did not forget to send a secret telegram to the Ninth War Zone to inform the news of the capture of Fenning City. At this time, the Ninth War Zone finally captured Yueyang City, occupied by the Japanese army, after a fierce battle.

The reinforcements sent by the Japanese army failed to arrive at the rescue area as soon as possible. Even along the way, these reinforcements suffered ambush to varying degrees, causing considerable losses to the Japanese reinforcements, but they still failed to defend Yueyang City.

After receiving the good news from the front-line troops, Xue Yue, as the acting commander, said happily: "Okay! The battle is good! Yue Yang recovered, and the Xiangbei front line returned to us. The troops deployed by the Japanese in the surrounding areas are probably going to be in trouble!"

"General, although Yue Yang was recovered this time, the combat troops suffered a lot of losses!"

Facing the bitter expression of the staff officer, Xue Yue was silent for a while and said, "This kind of sacrifice is worth it! Order the combat troops on the front line to immediately pursue the Japanese army. Tell the commanders on the front line to be careful of the Japanese ambush!

In order to prevent the Japanese army from capturing Yue Yang again, the troops involved in the attack should not be taken lightly. They should immediately build fortifications and firmly control Yue Yang in our hands. In addition, we will transfer two divisions of troops over!"

Earlier, in order to deal with the Japanese army's continued offensive, Xue Yue left many reserve troops in his hands. Now that the Japanese army has retreated, Xue Yue naturally will not let the Japanese retreat easily. These reserve troops were also transferred to the front line by him to participate in the war.

Just as Xue Yue looked at the map and thought about how to annihilate more Japanese retreating, the confidential official rushed into the command center with a happy look on his face and said, "General, General Feihu is here to send a secret message! Good news, Fenning City was destroyed by General Feihu!"

"What? Telegram me!"

Xue Yue was also shocked and then happy when he heard this. He knew very well that the strategic significance of Dividing Ning City was very important. As long as the Japanese army controlled the city, they could attack and retreat and defend. If they wanted to pursue the ninth war zone, they would not dare to pursue it too tightly.

Secondly, after being captured by the Japanese army, Fenning City had been used as a logistics supply transfer station by the Japanese army, and there were a large number of troops stationed to defend. If he could think of a solution, I am afraid that Xue Yue would have wanted to send troops to attack Fenning and cut off the Japanese retreat.

Looking at the secret telegram from Hu Biao, Xue Yue said in disbelief: "It's really unbelievable, how did he do it? He was still with Linxiang earlier, but now he appears in Fenning, and he captured the heavily guarded Fenning City in one night!"

"General, the situation is not very clear at the moment! However, General Feihu told the telegram that the Japanese around Fenning should not know the news of the loss of Fenning City. And the main force of the Japanese army seemed to be showing signs of retreating to Fenning."

The staff officer standing beside him quickly told the situation he had found. After looking at the map, Xue Yue shook his head and said, "It's hard! Although I really want the army to suppress and try to annihilate the main force of the Japanese devils, it's extremely risky.

The most important thing is that our focus is in Yueyang, and there are many Japanese troops left behind in Fenning. The only thing we can do is to bite the Japanese retreating to Fenning and annihilate as many Japanese as possible."

"Oh! What a pity! General, I'm asking General Feihu to lead his troops to stay in Fenning for a while. In this case, when we deal with the Japanese near Yueyang, we will surround the Japanese who are preparing to retreat?"

Faced with his subordinate's suggestion, Xue Yue smiled bitterly and said, "Look at the telegram carefully? General Feihu has already explained in the telegram that his troops are already on the way to transfer. If the retreat is not timely, his troops will be in danger of being surrounded by the Japanese army.

Judging from the fighting style of this person, he is the kind of person who leaves after gaining benefits and never puts himself in danger with the troops. If I guess correctly, he should not have many troops in his hands. If he confronts the Japanese army head-on, he will probably suffer a loss!"

As Xue Yue expressed his judgment, the other subordinates didn't have much to say. After all, as Xue Yue said earlier, he, the acting commander-in-chief of the Ninth War Zone, had no right to issue any combat orders to Hu Biao.

What's more, the Ninth War Zone can turn danger into safety this time, and I have to thank Hu Biao for stabbing the Japanese behind him. If it weren't for this, the Ninth War Zone wanted to turn the situation around, but I'm afraid it would take a fierce battle with the Japanese army for a while before it could be possible.

He took the secret telegram from Hu Biao and looked carefully. Xue Yue immediately said: "Draw the main force of two divisions from the front line and interspersed to the border between Hunan and Jiangxi. The task of these two divisions is very simple, just bite the Japanese devils and make them unable to retreat calmly.

In the telegram, General Feihu also informed that he had a force deployed on the Hunan-Jiangxi border, which would destroy the roads and bridges along the way and slow the Japanese retreat. If we could arrive in time, we should be able to bite a piece of fat from the Japanese!”

"Yes, General!"

If possible, Xue Yue and the generals of the Ninth War Zone naturally hope to annihilate the Japanese army that was invading this time. But this idea seems somewhat unrealistic. The reason is very simple. As long as the daytime, the Japanese army's combat effectiveness will be increased by more than twice.

Japanese devils with air supremacy can continuously bombard the pursuit troops of the Ninth War Zone through air raids and air reinforcements. In this case, it is almost impossible for them to annihilate the invading Japanese devils in the Ninth War Zone!

Hu Biao naturally would not pay much attention to what plans to do in the Ninth War Zone. As the sky was dawn, Hu Biao and his party had left Fenning and rested in a mountain on the border of Hunan and Jiangxi. The radio station was set up and 6 telegrams were sent over.

According to the telegram from the task force's preparation company, it was confirmed that a group of Japanese detachments were hidden in the city. After dawn, these Japanese detachers also tried to leave the city and contact the surrounding garrisons, but were all shot dead by the officers and soldiers of the reserve company.

The defenders of several towns nearest to Fenning did not show any signs of reinforcement. Seeing these telegrams, Hu Biao thought for a while and said, "Order the Preparatory Company to siege the Japanese army until noon!"

"Yes, wolf head!"

After issuing the combat order, Hu Biao summoned several battalion commanders and said: "According to our previous combat deployment, we will leave Binning and enter Tongluo County directly. In this place, the Japanese deployed not much troops, so we will deal with it tonight.

Before attacking Tongluo, I will telegraph the Ninth War Zone. Wanzai City, the closest to Tongluo, is still under control. When we leave, we will let the troops from the Ninth War Zone take over and save the prisoners of war.

When the troops entered Wanzai's territory, the assault battalions entered Hunan Province in batches and continued to advance southwest along the borders of the two provinces. Along the way, if they were blocked by Japanese devils, they would teach the Japanese a lesson. I also want to see if Japanese devils dare to fight with us!"

Judging from the current situation on the battlefield, the Japanese army has given up the plan to continue attacking Xingcheng, and decided to end the attempt to attack Xingcheng. In this case, the Japanese army must also withdraw its main force as soon as possible to avoid being pursued, encircled and annihilated by the Ninth War Zone.

If the Japanese army wants to block Hu Biao's troops in Hunan Province, they will inevitably need to assemble a large number of main forces. It is another matter whether Hu Biao's troops can be blocked. The Ninth War Zone will definitely not miss this opportunity, and will inevitably assemble heavy troops to counter-encircle.

This also means that the Japanese army either bet on the ninth war zone to watch, or they can only watch Hu Biao leave. What's more, Hu Biao planned to use Hunan Province to enter Guizhou Province, and the number of Japanese troops stationed by the Japanese was not large.

After deploying the combat mission, Hu Biao also began to rest. For Hu Biao, although he wanted to meet Xue Yue, he felt that the time was not the time. If Xue Yue had the intention, he might know what Hu Biao wanted to do next.

When the Japanese army assembled the troops and were about to withdraw to northern Jiangxi as planned, the Japanese army at the front line command could not contact Fenning City. After sending out reconnaissance planes, Fenning City, which had been a transit station earlier, was soon turned into ruins.

Although the pilots on the reconnaissance plane could see the remaining defenders in the ruins, the pilots already knew that there were probably not many defenders in Fenning City. But who could destroy Fenning City overnight?

As the reconnaissance plane sent back the reconnaissance information and cooperated with the information of the ground reinforcements, Okamura Yanji, who was deploying the main retreat and blocking mission, said with a serious expression: "How is this possible with heavy artillery siege troops?"

"Your Excellency Commander! What should I do? If you don't find this army, I'm afraid we will be wary of the possibility of being attacked at any time!"

"Is there any news on Air 6?"

"No! In fact, the reinforcements we sent to Fenning were also attacked by unidentified troops. Those people were superb and very cunning, and they didn't bother us too much. They often ran away after fighting!"

"Baga! It's very tricky! But I always feel that this situation seems to have been seen there!"

Just as Okamura Yasuji was thinking, one of the staff officers said: "General, the battlefield in northern Anhui during the Battle of Wuhan!"

"Yu Xi! That's right! But how could this army come here?"

Thinking of the battle report I read earlier, there was a mysterious army in the previous Wuhan Battle, which launched a round of counterattack and recovery battle in northern Anhui. This combat method is so similar to the current loss of Linxiang and Fenning!
