The commander of the Central China Front Army, Junliu Hata has arrived, and the Nationalist Army and the New Fourth Army are not idle, Gu Shutong is quite interesting this time, and he did not only give Luo Feng an empty title of brigade commander, but fully transferred two regiments of supplementary soldiers, although they are all some recruits, and their physical fitness is not good, but there are more than 3,000 people in two regiments!

As soon as these more than 3,000 recruits arrived, the gentleman's agreement between Gao Hanting and Xu Rui could only be invalidated.

Although the boss was reluctant, Gao Hanting still agreed to redistribute the spoils, and took out nearly two regiments of Japanese equipment from the captured weapons and equipment, which were specially used to arm the more than 3,000 recruits, and naturally, a part of the ammunition was also allocated to arm these recruits.

Regarding the defensive deployment of Feicheng, Xu Rui, Luo Feng and Gao Hanting have also reached an agreement.

Gao Hanting's four detachments are the first line of defense in Feicheng, and the three main regiments plus a pistol regiment that has just been expanded from the pistol battalion are swinging along the line on both sides of the Feiwu Highway, if possible, first uproot the strongholds on both sides of the Feiwu Highway, and if it is not possible, launch a sabotage battle, delay the devils in the direction of Wuhu as much as possible, and buy time for the defenders of Feicheng.

Luo Feng's Anhui Advance Brigade is the second line of defense, and the two regiments are placed in the south and east of Feicheng respectively, blocking the devils coming from the direction of Wuhu and Nanjing, because there is the Dameishan Independent Regiment behind the Anhui Advance Brigade, so Luo Feng did not leave a reserve for himself, and this battle was unsuccessful.

Xu Rui's Dameishan Independent Regiment is the third line of defense and the last line of defense!

Xu Rui and Luo Feng had fully estimated that the devils in Nanjing had to cross the river, and from Pukou to Pucheng and then to Feicheng, not only was the road difficult, but also under the control of the independent regiment, so the speed would be a little slower, but the devils from Wuhu to the north would be able to reach Feicheng in as little as three days or as many as five days.

Even if Gao Hanting's four detachments were to block the attack with all their might, they could only delay the devil for two days at most.

This means that after seven days, the devils from Wuhu Lake will be able to rush to Feicheng first, and in the remaining seven days, they will have to rely on the Anhui Central Advance Brigade and the Dameishan Independent Regiment to fight desperately.

The Anhui Central Advance Brigade on the periphery of Feicheng may not play a big role, after all, they are all new soldiers, and it is good to be able to not fry the pot after hearing the sound of the devil's cannon, expecting them to block the devil's seven-day onslaught, it is a dream, so the last hope has to be on the independent regiment.

The independent regiment must hold out in Feicheng for at least seven days! It's not an easy task!

"Lao Xu, you really don't think about it anymore? Fighting hard with devils and fighting a war of attrition in this way is not the style that we communists should have. Wang Husheng walked over and whispered.

Wang Husheng arrived this morning, and he was joined by more than 30,000 people from the base area.

With the total annihilation of the Kawaguchi detachment, and with the rapid reconstruction of all the destroyed houses in the town and Xiaolizhuang with the help of the Meixian government, the prestige of the Communist Party in the Dameishan base area has been fully established, so Wang Husheng gave an order, and more than 30,000 people immediately gathered in Jingcong.

Why did Wang Husheng gather these more than 30,000 people? In addition to weapons, ammunition, food, and oil, as well as the entire set of equipment for the power plant, all of them have to be transported back to the Dameishan base area, which is not something that hundreds or thousands of people can do, and 30,000 people have to go several times.

However, Wang Husheng was against Xu Rui's decision to promise Luo Feng to defend Feicheng at any cost.

"Lao Wang, I have already explained the truth to you, after all, it is the cooperation of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party at the moment, so the two parties and the two armies should cooperate sincerely." Xu Rui explained with a wry smile, but for the real reason, he couldn't tell Wang Husheng at all, his move was not for the national army at all, but for the more than 30 million people in the Huanghuai region!

is still the same sentence, for the sake of more than 30 million innocent people in the Huanghuai area, it is worth fighting for the independent regiment!

It's just that Xu Rui is faintly uneasy in his heart, small historical events are easy to change, and in fact, Xu Rui has also changed a lot, such as Fushimi Palace Toshihiko was not dead in the first place, but now he was killed by him, and Shanshan Yuan, who had never been the commander of the Central China Front Army, was now not only but forced by him to commit suicide.

However, major events in history may not be so easy to change.

Xu Rui was a little worried that the tragedy of the Huayuankou embankment burst might not be so easily dissolved by him, after all, this sub-plan had already been placed on Chairman Chiang's desk and had been approved, and when the senior generals on the front line thought it was necessary, they would immediately blow up the Huayuankou and divert the water of the Yellow River to pour water into the Japanese army.

Thinking of this, the uneasiness in Xu Rui's heart became more and more intense, no, you have to prepare with both hands!

But what needs to be done next must be Wang Husheng's full cooperation, and it seems that a reasonable reason must be fabricated.

At that moment, Xu Rui said: "Lao Wang, do you know Falkenhausen?" ”

"Falkenhausen, of course I do." Wang Husheng said, "It is said that Chairman Chiang personally commanded the battle in the Battle of Songhu, but the result was very unsatisfactory, and Chairman Chiang was also full of complaints. ”

"Let's not talk about that." Xu Rui waved his hand and said, "Lao Wang, you know that I came back from Germany, and when I was in Germany, I accidentally learned of a top secret, in the suggestions of the German advisory group to Chairman Chiang, there are two such suggestions, one is to open up a second battlefield in Shanghai, to lead the direction of the Japanese army's main attack from the North China Plain of Yima Pingchuan to East China, where the water network is dense, and use the favorable terrain of East China to consume the Japanese army, and the second suggestion is that once the Japanese army is not fooled, then blow up the Yellow River embankment and divert the water of the Yellow River to pour water into the entire North China Plain, Forced the Japanese army to turn the direction of its main attack to East China! ”

"What did you say?!" When Wang Husheng heard this, the hairs on his body stood upside down in an instant.

Every Chinese will be instilled with this concept by their elders at a very young age, once the Yellow River bursts, the world will immediately be in chaos, and the only few times in history the Yellow River burst has indeed caused incomparably serious disasters to the Chinese nation, as a Chinese, how can Wang Husheng not know the terrible Yellow River burst?

"Lao Xu, what you said is true?" Wang Husheng even began to tremble in his voice, "They really plan to ......"

"Shh Xu Rui motioned to Wang Husheng to speak cautiously, and then lowered his voice and said, "Old Wang, this is just the most extreme situation, but if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what if, if they really do that, how many innocent people do you say will be displaced by then?" We can't just watch it, can we? ”

Wang Husheng reacted at this time and said, "So you want to defend Feicheng at any cost? ”

"Yes." Xu Rui nodded and said, "I think so, as long as the heavy army cluster of the devils is attracted from the Central Plains to Huainan, the devils will advance to Wuhan along the Yangtze River waterway, and will not go south from Zhengzhou and the Pinghan line, so that the national army will not have to blow up the Yellow River embankment." ”

"Understood." Wang Husheng muttered, "If that's the case, it's worth it for our independent group!" ”

"Lao Wang, thank you for your support." Xu Rui stretched out his hand and shook Wang Husheng tightly, and then said, "But there is a good saying, do your best and plan for the worst, while we defend Feicheng, we must also be prepared for the Yellow River to burst, we are not afraid of 10,000, we can't afford to gamble." ”

Wang Husheng said solemnly: "Old Xu, you say, how to prepare?" ”

"Food!" Xu Rui said in a deep voice, "But after a catastrophe, there will be a great hunger, so we need to prepare a large amount of food in advance, enough for millions of people to eat food for half a year or even a year, Lao Wang, I know that for our base area, this is an impossible task at all, but we still need to do our best to prepare." ”

One million people is a small fraction of thirty million people, but for the independent regiment it is already the limit.

Wang Husheng nodded heavily and said, "Lao Xu, don't worry, I will do my best to store food, if there is really that day, we can also do our best to feed more victims!" However, it's the money problem, it's a big problem, we don't have that much money. ”

"You don't have to worry about that." Xu Rui said, "I will prepare a large sum of money for you in these two days!" When the time comes, you can take the money and go and buy food everywhere. ”

"You're going to have a lot of money ready in the next two days?" Wang Husheng said, "Lao Xu, where did you get the money?" ”

Xu Rui smiled slightly and said, "Lao Wang, have you forgotten the good show in Pucheng?" That's it. ”

"That's the idea you struck." Wang Husheng was relieved when he heard this, and said, "However, these landlords and old fortunes have accumulated this huge family wealth by sucking the people's fat and drinking the people's blood, and now they should take out a little of their family wealth to save the people who have been affected by the disaster." ”

"That's it, you wait in Feicheng for two days." Xu Rui said again, "In the past two days, you don't want those people to be idle, if you have labor, you have to use it, you let them dig a tunnel from my headquarters to the Feihe River in the eastern suburbs, with this tunnel, we can evacuate from the tunnel when necessary, and we will not be dumplings by devils so far." ”

"Okay." Wang Husheng nodded and said, "You ask Jiuling to draw a drawing, and I will prepare manpower." ”

Xu Rui told again: "Lao Wang, pay attention to secrecy, the people who dig tunnels are better to camp alone, this tunnel is used to save lives, and the fewer people who know, the better." ”

"Got it, you can rest assured." Wang Husheng agreed, turned around and left.

After Wang Husheng left, Xu Rui called Mo Zichen in again and asked, "Old Mo, have you sent all the letters I asked you to send?" ”

"It's all sent out." Mo Zichen said, "I have inquired clearly, but everything with a head and a face has been delivered." ”

"Well, you sent someone to keep an eye on the four doors for me in the past two days." Xu Rui said again, "As long as it is on the invitation list, you are not allowed to leave Feicheng without my permission." ”

"Yes, you are not allowed to leave Feicheng without the permission of the head of the regiment." Mo Zichen snapped upright, and then asked with a sly smile, "Regiment leader, are you going to kill the poor ghost?" ”

"Kill the poor?" Xu Rui said hesitantly, "Lao Tzu killed a rich ghost!" These local tyrants and shoddy gentry and unscrupulous businessmen have done their best to deceive and deceive, and now it's time to settle accounts with them, hum! Don't think that there is no justice in this world. ”
