In addition to the four main divisions, Okamura Yasuji, the old Japanese devil, also received the support of the Front Chief of Staff Masazo Kawasaki, and sent him a special attack team.

Although the special attack team led by Tutaro Kameda was eventually defeated when the Tiger Ben ambushed the last time, the new Fourth Army Independent Corps suddenly arrived and the entire army was destroyed.

But this special attack team also showed extremely high combat effectiveness at that time. At the same time, before that, the Japanese divisions could easily defeat other Chinese troops and successfully seize the two Huai areas, which was also an indispensable contribution.

Therefore, Okamura Yasuji happily accepted Kawasaki's support.

Before the four main divisions of the Japanese army were dispatched, this 300-man special attack team had been dispatched by Okamura Yasuji.

In addition, Okamura Yasuji also drew 500 elite troops from his 11th Army to cooperate with the operation of this reconnaissance force.

Okamura Yanji's purpose was very clear. He used this elite force to sneak into Huoqiu and Jinzhai Prefectures, and carried out infiltration attacks and destruction on the defense areas of the Hu Ben Regiment and the New Fourth Army.

To support the encirclement and suppression of the main Japanese army.

Yang Jing was not idle either, in order to figure out the movements of the Japanese army so as not to be too passive in the subsequent battle.

He summoned Long Yun and Wang Dali to the front.

He ordered them with a stern expression: "Now the Japanese may march towards Huoqiu and Jinzhai at any time.

Although there is intelligence shared by the New Fourth Army, we must make preparations both ways.

Deputy Commander, Long Yun, you two led the reconnaissance company and the special operations brigade to head east towards Lu'an for reconnaissance.

First, it can help to grasp the enemy's whereabouts in a timely manner, and second, it can also train the reconnaissance capabilities of the new recruits."

"Yes!" The two of them stood up and saluted, and then took the order and left.

Not long after the two of them left, a communications soldier hurriedly found Yang Jing with a telegram: "Royal seat, the New Fourth Army Independent Regiment is urgent!"

Yang Jing took it and saw that the telegram showed that a large number of Japanese troops had left Hefei. Although their whereabouts were unknown, they were most likely to advance towards Lu'an, Huoqiu, and Jinzhai.

He knew that this must be information provided by the underground party lurking in Hefei City. So he immediately said to Ma Tong beside him: "Ma Tong, immediately catch up with the deputy commander and Long Yun, and tell them that the news that the Japanese may have set off, so that they will be more careful when reconnaissing the enemy situation."

"Yes!" Ma Tong saluted, then turned around and ran out.

At this time, the people in the city were still evacuating, and tens of thousands of people were taking their families with their families, so they could not be evacuated in a short time.

Yang Jing also led his troops to leave the county town and entered the field defense fortifications in a dangerous place outside the city.

Because he knew very well that using the powerful firepower of the Japanese army to trap an isolated city is no different from seeking death.

Because they are likely to not get reinforcements from reinforcements, and the disrepaired low city walls in Jinzhai County are simply impossible to block Japanese aircraft and cannons.

Therefore, it is undoubtedly the most appropriate to place the battlefield in a dangerous place outside the city.

First, we can use the terrain to set up ambushes at various levels to slightly weaken the Japanese's combat effectiveness.

If you find an opportunity, you can also concentrate your superior forces and launch a counterattack against the Japanese.

At the worst, they can escape into the vast mountains without being desperate.

After arranging the reconnaissance troops, Yang Jing went to the positions of various battalions and urged the soldiers to build fortifications.

...

The other side.

After Wang Dali and Long Yun took Yang Jing's order, they quickly divided the troops into eight groups, and headed east towards Lu'an and Hefei like casting nets.

Among them, the special operations brigade was divided into three groups, with squadrons as units, with 40 people in each group.

The reconnaissance company is divided into five groups, with 60 people in each group.

They were about 10 miles apart from each other, and Jinzhai County and Huoqiu were included in their reconnaissance and surveillance circle to the east.

Because of the existence of the system, Yang Jing and the soldiers of the Hu Ben Group killed the Japanese army in the previous battle, and many individual radio stations were exposed.

Therefore, this time the Special War Team and the Reconnaissance Company came out to carry out the mission. Long Yun and Wang Dali and the eight squads all brought a single-soldier radio station to facilitate contact with each other.

It was the sixth month of the lunar calendar, which was the hottest time of the year, with lush grass and trees and snakes and insects everywhere.

For field reconnaissance, it is a very dangerous thing and a very test of the perseverance of the soldiers.

Long Yun, with more than 40 special forces members of the Special Forces Brigade, with homemade camouflage grass rings above his head, was reconnaissance and advancing along a forest.

At the same time, a Japanese special attack team accidentally entered the forest.

It is worth mentioning that after Kameda Tutaro was shot and killed outside Fuyang City, his younger brother Kameda Tutaro inherited his position as deputy captain of the reconnaissance brigade and the Japanese army directly under the Central China.

This time, the one who led the team to conduct reconnaissance in advance was Major Kameda Kotaro.

At that time, the sun was scorching.

The sweaty Kameda Kotaro was sitting under a big tree to cool off. The mountain wind blew, making Kameda Kotaro and his party feel a little more comfortable.

At this moment, a Japanese agent who was cutting the way in front of him suddenly rushed to report: "Master Captain, we found a Chinese nunnery in the deep mountains ahead."

Kameda Tutaro said furiously: "Baga! I'm asking you to go and reconnaise the traces and information of the Chinese Army Tiger Corps!

It’s not about listening to these useless news!”

"Hayi!"

The Japanese scouts bowed their heads heavily.

At this time, a captain officer next to Kameda Hushita smiled with a wretched smile: "Captain, there must be many women in this nunnery. The weather is so hot that our reconnaissance has been slow to make progress, resulting in a low morale.

You see, can these Chinese women be used to boost the morale of the Imperial Army?"

"Yo Xi!" Kameda Kotaro's eyes rolled and he nodded with satisfaction: "Your proposal is very good!"

He immediately turned his head and looked at the sergeant who had just come to report, and asked, "How many nuns do work in this nunnery?"

The Japanese military officer thought for a while and said, "I don't know how many nuns are in the specific position, but it depends on the size of the temple.

Therefore, there should be many nuns in the humble position!"

"Yo Xi!"

Kameda Gutaro showed a man's smile that "everyone understands" and ordered: "You! You are working in front of you!"

"Hayi!"

The Japanese military officer showed a vulgar smile again, then turned around and led the way with excitement on his face.

Kameda Kotaro said with a stern heart: "Everyone has it, run and move forward!"

A group of Japanese scouts immediately ran to the nunnery several miles away.

...

On the other hand, the scouts of the special operations brigade of the Tiger Regiment also discovered the nunnery, and at the same time, several Japanese scouts guarding outside the nunnery were also discovered.

They did not dare to act rashly, but immediately reported the news to the deputy captain Long Yun, who was waiting for the news not far from here.

Long Yun received the message and was not surprised to find the traces of the Japanese.

Because this is already the junction of Jinzhai and Lu'an.

What puzzled him was that the Japanese scouts were sneakingly guarding what they were doing outside the nunnery.

A special forces member thought for a while and said, "The Japanese robbed and plundered, and did everything.

According to the troupe, when he was in Baoshan, he witnessed several Japanese soldiers chasing an old sow.

Could it be these little Japanese who want to attack the nuns who are practicing cultivation in the nuns in the nuns?"

"This possibility is not ruled out!" Long Yun nodded with a gloomy face, and then asked the scout who came to report: "Have the Japanese entered the nun?"

The scout said: "Not yet! Those alert Japanese devils seemed to be waiting for someone, so they have not alarmed the nuns in the nun!"

Long Yun said: "It seems that these Japanese devils should be waiting for their superiors! We must not let these Japanese devils succeed in their plans!"

After a pause, Long Yun continued, "There is not much time left for us! Take action now!"

"yes!"

Under the leadership of the scout, Long Yun and his party immediately rushed towards the nunnery at a rapid march.

Since they were closer to Anko, they rushed outside Anko before Kameda Tutaro and his party.

Through the information provided by the left-behind scouts, Long Yun quickly locked the positions of the Japanese guard posts.

After raising the telescope and briefly observing, Long Yun found that these Japanese sentries were wearing strange military uniforms, which were completely different from ordinary Japanese.

At the same time, what they were holding was actually Mi-style Thomson submachine gun.

It is worth mentioning that at this time, the Japanese army's homemade 100-type submachine guns had not yet been released, the Japanese army did not attack Pearl Harbor, and the Pacific War had not yet broken out.

Therefore, the Americans did not impose a comprehensive blockade on Japan, so the Japanese army could still buy some Mid-style weapons such as Thomson submachine guns to equip small units such as reconnaissance units and guards.

Long Yun keenly realized that the identity of this Japanese army was definitely not simple, and it was very likely to be an elite unit like their special forces.

So, Long Yun divided a team of 10 people, bypassed the nunnery, and continued to reconnaise in Lu'an.

To facilitate the control of the movements of the Japanese main force at the first time.

He himself personally selected nine elite special forces brigades and then ordered them: "The main force of the Japanese army is very likely to have arrived nearby, so we must not expose our targets in advance.

We both have the same target, so we must kill with one blow and kill these five Japanese sentinels.

Remember! Try to use cold weapons or silent pistols. Do not use submachine guns unless absolutely necessary!
