Nanjing, headquarters of the 12th Army of the Japanese Army. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Shigesei Aoki hurriedly walked into Seishiro Itagaki's office and immediately reported: "Your Excellency Commander, I just received news from the inside line lurking in the upper echelons of the Nationalist Army, that last night, Xu Rui's Dameishan Independent Regiment actually poured out of the nest and wiped out the 32nd Group Army of the Kuomintang!" ”

"Nani? And this kind of thing? Hearing this, Seishiro Itagaki got up.

This news is really unexpected, this is really no sign at all.

However, in addition to the accident, what followed was excitement, the Dameishan Independent Regiment completely annihilated the 32nd Group Army, how could the Nationalist Government give up? If nothing else, there will certainly be another fight between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, but this is the best news for the Imperial Japanese Army.

At that moment, Seishiro Itagaki said urgently: "Aoki-san, quickly, quickly order the 3rd Division, 5th Division, and 6th Division to enter the first level of combat readiness, and at the same time cancel the vacation of the 104th Division, and all officers and men will immediately report back to the troops. ”

Seishiro Itagaki has already seen an opportunity to fish in troubled waters.

At present, the Japanese government's finances are already in extreme difficulty, and the war readiness materials that are being stepped up in the country must first be closely related to the Kwantung Army, and the materials that are distributed to the head of the 12th Army can be said to be pitiful, and such a small amount of materials alone is not enough to launch a major offensive, but it is not difficult to dispatch one or two infantry wings from several directions at the same time to launch a small offensive.

If it is under normal circumstances, the small-scale attack of several infantry wings is undoubtedly tickling for the Dameishan Independent Regiment, and even a counterattack will make the Japanese army unable to eat and walk around, because of this, after the loss of Tianchang County, Itagaki Seishiro did not retaliate for the first time, but swallowed this evil breath.

However, now, the Japanese Twelfth Army has the opportunity to fish in troubled waters.

Of course, the premise is that the Kuomintang army has to start a big war with the Dameishan Independent Regiment.

This time, Xu Rui didn't know which tendon was wrong, and he actually wiped out the 32nd Group Army, but he stabbed the Kuomintang's hornet's nest, if nothing else, the Kuomintang Army and the Dameishan Independent Regiment must start a big battle, at this time, their 12th Army will have the opportunity to fish in troubled waters.

Shigesei Aoki also thought of this, and said with a pause: "Hay! ”

At that moment, Shigesei Aoki turned around and went to the communications office to give the order.

The order of the headquarters of the 12th Army was quickly issued, and the 3rd Division stationed in Pukou, the 5th Division stationed in Yangzhou, the 6th Division stationed in Chaohu, and the 101st Division stationed in Bengbu were all ready to attack at the same time.

However, by noon, another piece of news came.

"Your Excellency, Commander!" Shigesei Aoki hurriedly walked into Seishiro Itagaki with two telegrams, first slammed his head, and then said angrily, "We miscalculated! ”

"Miscalculated?" Seishiro Itagaki frowned and said, "What do you mean?" ”

"Your Excellency, Commander, this is news that has just come back from our insider." After Aoki finished speaking, he handed over the first telegram he was holding in his hand.

Seishiro Itagaki took the telegram and hurriedly read it, and his face immediately fell.

"Yaga Yaru!" A moment later, Seishiro Itagaki suddenly slammed the telegram in his hand on the ground along with the folder, and then roared loudly in anger, "How can this be? How is this possible? This is completely illogical! Having been eaten by the Dameishan Independent Regiment and a group army, shouldn't Jiang have been furious? How could he possibly choose to swallow his anger? ”

"Your Excellency, Commander, it's not that simple." Aoki Shigesei handed over the second telegram and said, "There is another telegram here, but it was sent back by the special high section agent lurking in the headquarters of the military command, according to the information report of the military commander, the reason why Jiang compromised was because Xu Rui sent him a death threat!" ”

"What do you say? Death threats? Itagaki Seishiro was awe-inspiring when he heard this.

"Hay, death threat!" Aoki Shigesei paused and said, "It is reported that before Xu Rui launched an attack on the Kuomintang's 32nd Group Army, he dispatched the Wolf Tooth Force in advance to carry out a beheading battle against the headquarters of the 32nd Group Army, and successfully destroyed the headquarters of the 32nd Group Army. ”

After a pause, Aoki Shigesei said again: "After the battle ended, Xu Rui issued a threat to the headquarters of the Nationalist Government through the intercepted password, claiming that if Jiang and the Nationalist Army dared to act excessively, the next time the wolf's tooth airborne place would not be Dabie Mountain, but Chongqing, the implication is to carry out a beheading battle against Lao Jiang!" ”

"Sodesnay." Itagaki Seishiro said suddenly, "No wonder Lao Jiang chose to forbear for the first time, in the face of the death threat of Xu Rui and the Wolf Tooth Army, no one dares to underestimate it." ”

"Hello." Aoki Shigesei paused, "But in this way, the Imperial Army has lost a good opportunity. ”

"Yes, it's a shame that this is true, such opportunities don't come often." Itagaki Seishiro nodded thoughtfully, and said, "But through this incident, it has also pointed out a way for the imperial army, and when Okahara-san's special operations team is retrained into an army, we may also be able to follow the example of the wolf fang and issue a death threat to Lao Jiang!" If Lao Chiang compromised and chose to cooperate with the Japanese Empire, everything would be easy to say, and if he did not cooperate, then it would be ...... Just kill him! ”

"Soga." Aoki Shigesei suddenly perked up when he heard this.

Feixi Town, Temporary Headquarters of Dameishan Military Division.

After sending a telegram to Chairman Jiang, Xu Rui turned around and went out.

When Wang Husheng hurriedly chased him out of the headquarters, he found that Xu Rui had already stepped onto a side three-wheeled motorcycle, and had already started the car, ready to leave.

"Lao Xu, where are you going?" Wang Husheng hurriedly asked.

"Go home." Xu Rui said indifferently, "I have to go back to accompany my wife and children." ”

"What? Go home? Wang Husheng hurriedly said, "What are you kidding, this battle is over, but the rest of the matter has not been dealt with, for example, what about the counties in central Anhui and the Dabie Mountains?" Should a task force be sent to receive it, or should it be returned to the National Government? Also, what should you do with so many captives? ”

"That's your business." Xu Rui said lightly, "It has nothing to do with me." ”

"It doesn't matter." Wang Husheng said angrily, "As long as the military department's punishment decision has not been made for a day, and as long as the higher-level party organization has not removed you, you will still be the commander of the Dameishan Military Sub-district for a day." ”

"I'll remove myself from my position, okay?" Xu Rui rolled his eyes, and patted the sweet potato sitting in the driver's seat of the side three-wheeled motorcycle, and the sweet potato slammed the accelerator, and the side three-wheeled motorcycle under the crotch rushed forward with a bang, and in less than a moment, it disappeared on the horizon in the distance.

Wang Husheng hurriedly turned his back and covered his mouth and nose with his hands.

It wasn't until the smoke and dust cleared that Wang Husheng turned around again, looking at the direction where Bian Sanlun disappeared, and a touch of unconcealable melancholy floated in his eyes, Lao Xu caused a lot of trouble this time, I am afraid it is not easy to get through safely, and I don't know what the head of the military department plans to do with Lao Xu?

At this time, the leaders of the New Fourth Army were urgently discussing how to punish Xu Rui.

Secretary Xiang, the No. 2 leader, knocked on the table and said in a deep voice: "After the full discussion just now, one thing can be basically determined, that is, Xu Rui must be punished!" Speaking of this, Secretary Xiang paused, and then said, "Speaking of which, I would like to read a telegram just sent by the Party Central Committee, which is also related to Comrade Xu Rui. ”

"Comrades of the Southeast Bureau: Comrade Xu Rui seriously violated party and military discipline in this military operation against the 32nd Group Army of the Kuomintang, and must be severely punished, and it is recommended that the Southeast Bureau immediately remove him from all positions in the party and the army, but considering that the comrade is relatively young and is not very familiar with the party's organizational principles, it is suggested that he should be sent to Yan'an immediately to enter Kang Da to study Marxism-Leninism in depth.

Secretary Xiang's voice fell, and the members of the Southeast Bureau present immediately exploded, and they all jumped up at once.

"What's going on?" The fourth chief said angrily, "Is the central government trying to rob while the fire is burning?" ”

"Who's to say it's not?" The No. 5 commander also said angrily, "Comrade Xu Rui not only leads the troops to fight well, but also trains the troops to be a rare good hand, especially rare, but also good at special operations, such a military cadre is simply a treasure, and the facts have fully proved this, since Comrade Xu Rui participated in our New Fourth Army, the situation of our New Fourth Army is simply changing with each passing day, so I resolutely oppose letting Comrade Xu Rui go." ”

"That is, if you want to talk about studying, you can also study at the Kang University branch, why do you have to go to Yan'an?" Said the sixth chief.

The members present at the meeting were all opposed, but Secretary Xiang was silent, turned his head and asked Commander Ye, "Old Ye, what is your opinion?" Can you let go of Comrade Xu Rui? ”

"That's my opinion." Commander Ye cleared his throat and continued, "If this is an order from the Central Committee, our Southeast Bureau will naturally obey it unconditionally, but if the Central Committee only asks for our opinions, then my opinion is very clear, the New Fourth Army urgently needs cadres like Xu Rui, so I resolutely oppose the release of people." ”

Secretary Xiang smiled and said: "On the question of whether to let Xu Rui go to Yan'an, it seems that our opinions are also very consistent, that is, we will resolutely not let people go, so we will reply to the central government like this, fortunately, the central government is only asking us for advice, and has not given an order, so now we will discuss the next question: how to deal with Xu Rui?" ”

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and they are not in a hurry to show their attitude.

After a long time, the seventh leader, who was sitting at the end, said: "Xu Rui has already been the leader of the cooking squad, otherwise let him go to the arsenal to be a worker for a few days, what do you think?" (To be continued.) )
