    While the Third Corps was fighting a bloody battle with the Japanese troops outside the mall, Li Guoyao's troops were wandering around the Dabie Mountains.

    Seeing that the Japanese army had not caught up, Li Guoyao was not in a hurry. The terrain in the Dabie Mountains was too complex, and even Chinese people like them often got lost. If the main force of the Japs came in to pursue them, they would probably be like the 61st  The army was lost like that before.

    In view of this, Li Guoyao decided to teach the little devil a lesson before evacuating to the mall. The battlefield chosen by Li Guoyao was nearby Huoshan County.

    Huoshan County, affiliated to Lu'an, is located in the western Anhui region, the hinterland of the Dabie Mountains, and the upper reaches of the Pihe River, a first-class tributary of the Huaihe River. The geographical location here is not very important, but it is the only passage south of Lu'an to Qianshan and other places.

    After the Japanese army captured Huoshan a month ago, they left two squadrons stationed here and became a transit point for communication between the Second Army and the Sixth Division.

    Originally Li Guoyao did not intend to take action, but when the troops arrived near Huoshan, they encountered Japanese troops who had been mopping up the troops.

    This small Japanese army was not large, only fifty or sixty people, but it ended up escorting seven to eight hundred Chinese young adults, and then moved all the way towards the county town.

    What made Li Guoyao and others even more angry was that behind this team were dozens of cattle and hundreds of sheep, as well as some pigs, dogs, chickens, ducks and other livestock. At a glance, it was clear that these were the little devils.  It was snatched from the hands of the common people.

    ¡°And there are no old, weak or children in this team. You don¡¯t need to think about it to know that they must have been maimed by these beasts.

    Li Guoyao then decided to intercept the Japanese army, and then he ordered the special forces to change into Japanese military uniforms, then the entire army mounted their horses and chased the Japanese army.

    This battle took little effort. In less than five minutes from the beginning to the end, more than half of the fifty or sixty little Japs were killed, and the rest were all captured by the 61st Army.

    Later, through interrogation of the prisoners, it was learned that there were only two Japanese squadrons in Huoshan County that were not full of personnel, and their total strength was only more than 240 people. Excluding the dozens of people they killed, there were actually only a hundred or so in the city.  ten people.

    In addition, Li Guoyao also received news that the Huoshan garrison received an order from their superiors a week ago, asking them to arrest a large number of Chinese young adults.

    Although Huoshan¡¯s defenders didn¡¯t know what their superiors wanted to do, they still carried out the order simply.

    ¡°Subsequently, under the order of the garrison captain, the Japanese troops in the city divided into three small teams to raid the surrounding villages and towns, killing all the old and weak wherever they went, and capturing all the young and middle-aged people.

    Over the past week, they have destroyed all the villages around Huoshan County. Currently, there are more than 3,000 Chinese people imprisoned in Huoshan County.

    It¡¯s okay if you don¡¯t know about this matter. Now that you know it, Li Guoyao can¡¯t ignore it.

    What's more, when he learned about this situation, the system immediately issued a task, asking him to rescue all these people.

    Subsequently, Li Guoyao formulated a battle plan to seize Huoshan County.

    Fighting against such a small county with only a hundred people garrisoned was too childish for Li Guoyao and others. That night, Li Guoyao asked Zhang Shaolin to lead the special forces around, but no large troops were used to attack. All the people in Huoshan County  All the defenders were killed without even a shot being fired.

    After the battle, Li Guoyao led a battalion into the city. He first released all the thousands of people imprisoned by the Japanese army, and then found food from the Japanese army warehouse in Huoshan County and distributed it to them, as well as those who were imprisoned by the Japanese.  The cattle, horses, sheep, pigs, dogs, chickens, ducks and other livestock and poultry that were snatched back were all distributed to the people.

    Afterwards, under the identification of the common people, Li Guoyao and others suppressed almost all the traitors, and then the large troops left Huoshan.

    Because many people were harmed by the Japs and were full of hatred for the Japs, many young and middle-aged people asked to join the army when the army left.

    Li Guoyao naturally accepted all comers, regardless of men or women, and accepted them all.

    For Li Guoyao, the Battle of Huoshan was almost like hunting a rabbit in the grass, just by the way, and there were no casualties in the troops, but the gains were not small.

    First, the Japanese defenders in the city were annihilated and thousands of captured civilians were rescued. Second, the army became famous. More importantly, the 61st Army also received nearly a thousand recruits.

    However, Li Guoyao did not intend to bring these recruits back to Wuhan. The reason was that these young and middle-aged men joined the army with enthusiasm and had not received any military education and training before. If they were sent to the battlefield like this, I am afraid that  At the end of the battle, a lot of people will die.

      So after the troops left Huoshan County, Li Guoyao ordered them all to be sent to Huanghuazhai and handed over to Huang Dazi to train them well.

    For more than a week, Li Guoyao¡¯s troops were always on the road. Although they found several local guides, they still often got lost.

    After all, the Dabie Mountains are so big that no matter how good the guide is, it is impossible to understand the entire Dabie Mountains.

    "While Li Guoyao's troops were marching urgently deep in the Dabie Mountains, and while Sun Lianzhong and Li Pinxian were engaged in a difficult tug-of-war with the Japanese army, a mysterious little general quietly entered the northeast battlefield of Wuhan.

    After arriving at the battlefield, this guy quietly arranged his troops and looked like he was trying to turn the tide.

    This person¡¯s surname is Hu, his given name is Zongnan, his courtesy name is Taoshan, and his nickname is Qinzhai. He is currently the commander-in-chief of the 17th Army Corps of the National Government and is a famous disciple of the Emperor in the military.

    Hu Zongnan can be regarded as the most famous general in the national army. He graduated from the first class of Huangpu Military Academy and is known as "the first disciple of the emperor". He is Chiang Kai-shek's favorite and most important military general. In the first half of his life, he experienced the establishment of Huangpu Army,  The Eastern Expedition, the Northern Expedition, the Civil War, the "Suppression of the Communists", the Anti-Japanese War, etc.

    Hu Zongnan is less than 1.6 meters tall, has an unattractive appearance, and is the oldest among his classmates.  When he graduated from Huangpu and was appointed as a second lieutenant trainee in 1925, he was nearly 30 years old.

    During the war, there were many 30-year-olds who served as army commanders and division commanders, but he was only a second lieutenant trainee. If it had been anyone else, he might have taken off his military uniform to earn money to support his family.

    But Hu Zongnan didn¡¯t care at all. He had patience and a backer, and believed that he would be able to prosper, because Hu Zongnan always remembered what a person said to him: "We are true fellow countrymen, and we will support each other in the future"

    The person who said these words was none other than Chairman Chiang Kai-shek. It was precisely because of Chiang Kai-shek's words that Hu Zongnan knew he had a future.

    So when he was in Huangpu, he studied very hard, and he soon stood out. Among the arrogant Huangpu classmates, he took many first places.

    In April 1928, Hu Zongnan led his troops to participate in the Second Northern Expedition and captured Bengbu in one fell swoop. In October, the 22nd Division of the 1st Army was reorganized into the 2nd Brigade of the 1st Army Division. Hu Zongnan was appointed as the major general and brigade commander, becoming the first to enter Huangpu in the first phase.  Cadets in the ranks of Kuomintang generals.

    On January 13, 1931, Hu Zongnan was promoted to lieutenant general and commander of the 1st Division, and began to establish his own military system, forming the "Young Strong Group" of the Huangpu Clan. He was also the first Huangpu student to be promoted to lieutenant general.

    In the future, he will also be the first Huangpu-sheng to be promoted to commander of a theater and the first to be promoted to army general in mainland China, but these are things for a later time.

    It is said that when Hu Zongnan led his troops to arrive at the northwest battlefield of Wuhan this time, he was ordered to do so in a critical situation. At this time, Okamura Ningji's troops on the south bank of the Yangtze River were held back by the two regiments of Xue Yue and Zhang Fakui. Until today, the real threat to Wuhan has been turned  Dong Jiure 2nd Army in Jiangbei.

    " But Sun and Li's regiments have been fighting hard for nearly two months. The troops are dilapidated and their weakness is exposed.  However, the Japanese troops replenished quickly and continued to attack Xinyang in an attempt to cut off the Pinghan Line and move south to Wuhan.

    In the later stages of the battle, there were only three armies of Hu Zongnan's 17th Army among the Jiangbei ministries that had not been consumed.  These three armies were all the elites of Chiang Kai-shek's Central Army, and Hu Zongnan was favored by Chairman Chiang Kai-shek as a "little fellow". How could Chiang Kai-shek not have high hopes for him?

    Because of this, when the fighting was the fiercest and most critical, Chiang Kai-shek directly transferred Hu Zongnan's troops to the northwest front.

    Lao Jiang¡¯s goal is also very clear, that is, he hopes that Hu Zongnan¡¯s troops can reverse the unfavorable situation in the northwest and turn the tide!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
