Chapter 663: Joint Meeting

At the same time, the news of the 799th Regiment of the Sichuan Army recovering Jiujiang has also been transmitted back to Dameishan. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

However, when the news reached Dameishan, Wang Husheng, the political commissar of the Dameishan Military Sub-district, and several regiment commanders were not there, and they were accompanying the two distinguished guests to visit the industrial zone in the mountains.

These two distinguished guests are the Soviet Minister to China Cherev and the US military attache in China, Colonel Stilwell, oh no, it should be Brigadier General Stilwell now, because when he returned to China last time to report on his duties, Stilwell had been promoted from colonel to brigadier general, and the US Department of Defense was in the process of transferring him back to China to serve as the commander of the 3rd Infantry Brigade.

Wang Husheng took Cherev and Stilwell to visit the industrial zone, and his intention was actually very clear, that is, he hoped that through Cherev and Stilwell's relays, the Soviet government and the US government would know that China's resistance was not only the Nationalist Army, but also the armed forces behind enemy lines led by the Communist Party of China.

Yes, at this stage, the armed forces behind enemy lines of the Chinese Communists are still very weak, and they are not enough to launch a counteroffensive against the Japanese army for the time being, but they are not without any potential, for example, the Dameishan Military Sub-district has not only expanded its force size like a snowball, but its combat effectiveness has also increased at a rapid pace, and it has also established a military industry.

Wang Husheng pinned his hopes on such a display to win military assistance from the US and Soviet governments.

In the final analysis, there are always only interests between countries, and if the same kind of assistance is given to the CCP to be more effective and more able to hit the Japanese, then what reason does the US and Soviet governments have for not giving it to the CCP? After all, the CCP does not seek all of it, but only a small part of it.

A convoy of four side three-wheeled motorcycles followed a nine-lane and eighteen-turn mountain road into a deep mountain, and finally stopped in an open field where a dozen trucks could be parked.

At the foot of that high cliff, there is a military exclusion zone.

Wang Husheng walked over, pointed to this high cliff and said: "This is the ghost seeing sorrow, our factory is hidden inside." ”

Stilwell exclaimed: "The choice of this industrial area is really ingenious, even if the Japanese army dispatches a group of bombers, it will not constitute a real threat, because the horizontal bombing is not accurate, if you take dive bombing, hehe, it is easy for the bombers to dive down, and it is impossible to pull it up again, yes, it is indeed good." ”

Cherev also said: "If you want to dig a factory area in the hard mountain wall, I am afraid the amount of work will not be small, right? ”

"It's fine." Wang Husheng explained, "Because this is a karst landform, the limestone will soften when it encounters water, so it is not too difficult to excavate, not to mention that our labor force is also very sufficient, thanks to Chairman Jiang to dig the garden mouth, more than 500,000 people poured in at once, fortunately we have enough projects to do." ”

This is also Wang Husheng's careful thinking, showing himself and not forgetting to hack Chairman Jiang.

Wang Husheng's irony is not small, at least Stilwell's pair of thick eyebrows have frowned,

It is no exaggeration to say that Stilwell's view of Chairman Chiang's decision to order the explosion of Huayuankou was very negative, and he felt that as a leader, he should not give such an order at any time, and what Stilwell could not tolerate was that the breach of the embankment at Huayuankou could not fundamentally stop the Japanese attack, which was completely a foolish practice of killing 100 enemies and losing 1,000 to himself.

However, Stilwell didn't want to discuss Chairman Chiang too much, and said, "Wang, can you show us around?" ”

"Of course." Wang Husheng happily agreed, was about to take the two into the factory when another side three-wheeled motorcycle along the mountain road galloping, to the parking lot, the driver slammed the handlebar, the crotch side three-wheeled motorcycle squeaked, a fierce tail flick stopped.

Wang Husheng looked back, but it was Xu Ye from the guard battalion.

"Commissar!" Xu Ye turned over and jumped out of the car, shouting loudly, "The head of the regiment has news!" ”

Although the Dameishan base area has been upgraded to a military sub-district, Xu Rui was removed from his post because of the killing of prisoners, and now his official position is the head of the cooking squad, and the commander of the military sub-district is temporarily held by Wang Husheng, so the officers and men of the whole military region still call Xu Rui the regiment commander according to the old rules of the past.

As soon as Wang Husheng heard this, he immediately left Chelev and Stilwell and turned back.

"What about the telegraph? What about telegrams? Wang Husheng said eagerly, "Give me the telegram quickly!" ”

Since the last time he received a telegram from Xiao Taohong, Wang Husheng's heart has been hanging, because Xiao Taohong was vague in the telegram, only saying that Xu Rui had killed Okamura Ningci and was injured himself, but the injury was not serious, but Xiao Taohong did not say in detail in the telegram.

After reading the telegram and making sure that Xu Rui was fine, Wang Husheng breathed a long sigh of relief.

At this time, the four regiment commanders He Guangming, Wan Chongshan, He Shuya, and Gao Chu also came over, and Cherev and Stilwell didn't treat themselves as outsiders, and followed them.

Cherev also asked: "Wang, is there any news of Misterxu?" ”

The reason why Stilwell and Cherev came to Dameishan this time was actually for Xu Rui, but unfortunately, when they arrived at the Dameishan Military Division, Xu Rui had already gone to Jiujiang, because of this, Stilwell and Cherev were very sorry, especially Cherev, who was about to be transferred back to China, missed this opportunity, and was afraid that it would be difficult to meet again in the future.

However, Cherev didn't know that two years later, he would become a comrade-in-arms in the same trench as Xu Rui!

"Minister Cherev, General Stilwell, Lao Xu has news." Wang Husheng said with a smile, "He just led the remnants of a Sichuan army to raid Jiujiang and took control of Jiujiang. ”

"Jiujiang? Where was the headquarters of the 11th Army of the Japanese Army stationed? ”

"God, God, Misterxu occupies Jiujiang?"

Cherev and Stilwell were dumbfounded, their faces full of disbelief.

He Guangming, Wan Chongshan, He Shuya and Gao Chu also looked at each other, they were already familiar with the style of the regiment commander, but they still didn't expect that after leaving Dameishan and no independent regiment, the regiment commander could actually make such a big move in Jiujiang with just a Sichuan army company.

The head of the regiment is the head of the regiment after all, and he will not let the little devils stop wherever he goes!

In addition to the political commissar Wang of the Dameishan Military Subdistrict, the four regiment commanders and a guard company commander, there were also Soviet Minister to China Cherev and US Brigadier General Stilwell in Wuhan.

"Generous, absolutely generous!" Cherev pointed to the map with a pencil and said with emotion, "Misterxu is going to give the Japanese army a center to bloom and surround it on all sides!" This strategic vision will eventually become a reality, the outcome of the Battle of Wuhan will be reversed, and the Chinese government may even turn to a strategic counteroffensive! ”

Stilwell said: "However, this still requires the full cooperation of the national army, Xue Yue's first corps combat effectiveness is okay, but the combat effectiveness of the other three corps is not worth mentioning, so Misterxu's grand strategic concept is only afraid that it will be difficult to fully realize, and I personally have a cautious optimistic attitude towards this concept." ”

"Prudent? Be cautious of yarn. He Guangming burst into a foul language that Xu Rui often said, but he made Stilwell, an American, confused, and cautious? Thread? What the heck?

He Guangming continued: "Isn't this clear, if the Japanese army in Central China is compared to a snake, then this Jiujiang is its seven inches, and now the regiment commander and the Sichuan army control Jiujiang, it's like choking the seven inches of the little devil, and now it's very difficult for the little devil to even move, how can you play?" ”

Wan Chongshan nodded and said: "I agree with Lao He's opinion, the battle of the large corps is actually logistics support, and Jiujiang is the military supply transit station of the Japanese army in Central China, especially the five Japanese divisions and regiments fighting on the south bank of the Yangtze River, all the military supplies rely on the transportation and supply of Jiujiang, and now that the Sichuan army controls Jiujiang City, the Japanese army in Jiangbei will not talk about it first, at least the five Japanese divisions on the south bank of the Yangtze River will be cut off from supply, how can it last?" ”

Wang Husheng said: "I'm afraid that Jiujiang City won't be able to hold it." ”

Cherev and Stilwell also nodded approvingly when they heard this, Jiujiang's status is so important, it can be said that it is directly related to the life and death of the five main divisions on the south bank of the Yangtze River, so it is completely conceivable that the Japanese army in Central China will definitely mobilize heavy troops to fight back wildly, Xu Rui only has one Sichuan Army in his hands, and it is temporarily formed by prisoners of war, so it is extremely difficult to hold Jiujiang.

However, as soon as Wang Husheng's voice fell, He Guangming, Wan Chongshan and Gao Chu "cut" at the same time.

He Guangming pursed his lips disapprovingly, and said loudly: "Political commissar, you think too highly of the little devil, and you don't look at who guards Jiujiang, that's our regiment leader!" ”

Wan Chongshan also said: "There is a head in Jiujiang, and the little devil has no play." ”

Gao Chu even said: "It's not that I underestimate the little Japanese, as long as the regiment commander is there, the little devil is to transfer a division to the regiment, and there is no play, so the good show of flowering in the center and surrounded on all sides is sung, and now it depends on whether the national army can give it or not, if the national army is strong enough, this time it will definitely be enough for the little devil to drink a pot." ”

Listening to the three regiment commanders discussing there, Cherev and Stilwell exchanged glances without a trace, and they both saw a trace of strangeness in each other's eyes, this Xu Rui is not only good at fighting, but also has a set of leading troops, and the commanders of these main regiments under his command are so confident in him!

However, at this time, He Shuya, who had not spoken much, said: "However, this strategic concept designed by the head of the regiment is not without flaws!" ”

Everyone's eyes fell on He Shuya's face. (To be continued.) )
