In the middle of the meeting, an officer of the Security Section suddenly hurriedly walked in and whispered a few words in the ear of the No. 4 chief, who was the director of the political department of the New Fourth Army, and in addition to assisting the No. 2 commander in doing a good job in the political work of the New Fourth Army, he also had to lead the command work of the secret front in the south. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

After listening to the security officer's report, the face of the fourth leader immediately changed.

The No. 4 leader waved his hand to retire the security officer, and then reported to the No. 2 chief: "Secretary Xiang, something happened, the secret camp of the Songhu detachment in Puxi was raided by devils and Wang Puppet No. 76 agents, and the personnel and materials were heavily damaged. ”

The faces of several leaders attending the meeting sank when they heard this.

The Songhu detachment is an armed force of the New Fourth Army operating in Pudong, Puxi, and eastern Zhejiang, and its strength is not large, and there are only more than 100 people when it is full, but because the area of activity is close to Shanghai, an international metropolis, every move will be known by the Western media, so it has a great influence.

Of course, there can be another explanation for the other way around, that is, the Japanese puppet army has very strict control over the Songhu area, that is, the area of Shanghai, Nanjing, and the corner of Hangzhou, and the armed forces led by our party and the armed forces led by the Kuomintang are unable to carry out large-scale public activities in this area.

Because as soon as the size of the troops expands, the threat will be great, and it is inevitable that the Japanese puppet army will not sit idly by, and it is bound to send troops to encircle and suppress it; moreover, because the area of activity is near Shanghai, Nanjing, and Hangzhou, the transportation in this area is extremely convenient, and the devil puppet army can come and go freely, and the large-scale armed forces of the formation are often surrounded before they can react.

Therefore, only small-scale armed struggle can be carried out in the Songhu area.

The Songhu detachment is one of the many armed forces in the Songhu area, and its scale is relatively large.

Now the Songhu detachment has suffered a heavy blow, which also means that the party's anti-Japanese war activities in the Songhu area have suffered a heavy blow, and this is undoubtedly extremely unfavorable to the party's work, because the main task of an armed force like the Songhu detachment is not only to fight against the Japanese puppet forces, but also to protect the communication line.

Needless to say, there are in fact a number of secret lines of communication between Shanghai and the various base areas of the New Fourth Army, and these lines of communication are composed of countless traffic stations, each of which is composed of one or several fortress households, and the armed forces in the Songhu area are not only fighting against the Japanese puppet army, but also shouldering the task of protecting these communication stations.

However, since the Japanese government changed its focus from military offensive to political inducement three months ago, it has stopped attacking the Nationalist army on the frontal battlefield and at the same time has shifted its main energies to the vast occupied areas.

After several months of purging out, the guerrilla forces of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party have suffered heavy losses.

For example, the Kuomintang guerrilla forces operating behind enemy lines in the Songhu area, the Loyal and Righteous National Salvation Army, and Deputy Commander-in-Chief He Xingjian betrayed the country and defected to the enemy at the beginning of the year, directly taking with him 50,000 troops, with the result that the Kuomintang guerrilla forces in southern Jiangsu were almost wiped out, and even Chairman Chiang was so angry that he could not eat for several days.

Although there was no large-scale treason and defection to the enemy on the Communist Party's side, there were not a few people like the Songhu detachment who were forced to move from open to underground activities because of heavy losses one after another.

Before the Songhu detachment, several armed forces had already been eliminated.

However, this time the Songhu detachment was also forced to go underground, but it still shook the top of the New Fourth Army.

The No. 1 leader said in a deep voice: "It seems that we still underestimate the determination of the little devil, and looking at the devil's posture, we will never stop if we do not uproot the armed forces of our New Fourth Army behind enemy lines in the Shanghai-Nanjing-Hangzhou area!" Therefore, it is necessary to remind the armed forces of Shanghai, Nanjing and Hangzhou that they must be prepared for a hard war of resistance. ”

"Hey, this is really evil!" Commander No. 4 said hatefully, "In the whole of Central China and even the whole of China, our party's armed forces behind enemy lines have developed quite well, why is it that the triangular area of Shanghai, Nanjing and Hangzhou is not working? Before the development of the first team and the second detachment in southern Jiangsu was not very smooth, or the situation was changed after arriving in Jiangbei, after the first team and the second detachment left southern Jiangsu, the situation in the entire Songhu area began to take a sharp turn, why is this? ”

The No. 5 leader said: "The situation of the Anti-Japanese War in the Songhu area has not been opened for a long time, and there are many problems, such as the Japanese puppet stubborn forces are stronger than other regions, and the water and land transportation is very convenient, which is conducive to the rapid mobility of the Japanese puppet army, and the number of armed forces in the Songhu area is quite large, but there is a lack of unified and effective command, and so on, etc., there are many problems, but in my opinion, the main problem is the lack of cadres, and the lack of a military chief officer in the Songhu area who has authority and can open up the situation. ”

"Speaking of cadres, isn't there a ready-made one?" The third leader suddenly had a whim, and proposed, "I said everyone, send Xu Rui to Songhu to preside over the overall situation, what do you think?" ”

"It's a mess!" The No. 1 leader immediately said, "You mean to completely transfer Comrade Xiao Xu out of Dameishan?" Comrade Xiao Xu has worked tirelessly and painstakingly to establish the Dameishan Base Area, and in the sense of revolution, the Dameishan Base Area was created by Comrade Xiao Xu single-handedly, so how can we, the founder, transfer him, the founder, out of Dameishan? ”

"But the question is, isn't he making a mistake now?" The Third Chief retorted weakly.

"I think it's a pretty good mistake." The No. 2 chief interjected, "Because of a small mistake, Comrade Xiao Xu was transferred out of Dameishan, which does sound like unloading the mill and killing the donkey, but this is not unsolvable, we can keep the post of commander of the Dameishan Military Division, and his organizational relationship can also stay in Dameishan, and this transfer of him to Songhu can be regarded as a secondment, and once the situation in Songhu is opened, he will be transferred back to Dameishan." ”

"It's not impossible." The No. 1 leader nodded, and then asked, "But after Xiao Xu leaves, what will Dameishan do?" It is no exaggeration to say that the current Dameishan base area is the center of our New Fourth Army, and even if the Dabie Mountain base area develops and grows in the future, I am afraid that it will not be able to replace the status of Dameishan. Has Wang Husheng been allowed to preside over the work? ”

"Wang Husheng is definitely not good." The No. 2 leader shook his head and said, "Comrade Xu Rui is certainly at fault for this military operation against the 32nd Group Army, and Comrade Wang Husheng is also to blame, so he must also be punished. ”

"Who will preside over the work of Dameishan?" The No. 1 leader frowned and said, "Give it to Leng Tiefeng?" ”

"Old Ye, I think so." The second chief said, "Before, the Central Committee out of the needs of united front work, in order to unite the Kuomintang as much as possible, asked us to give up the base area in southern Anhui and go north to Anhui, I admit that I had some doubts before, mainly because I was reluctant to give up the foundation of southern Anhui, but now this kind of thing has happened, Xu Rui not only annihilated the 32nd Group Army, but also occupied the entire central Anhui and the Dabie Mountain base area, although the Kuomintang has not said a word until now, but they are only afraid that they have already been angry, so I think we need to make some concessions." ”

The words of the second leader can be regarded as setting the tone for the whole incident.

The implication of the second chief's words is that Dabie Mountain and Anhui Central are not ready to be returned to the Kuomintang.

But as compensation, the New Fourth Army could hand over the territory of southern Anhui to the Third Theater of the Nationalist Army.

The No. 1 leader asked, "Old Xiang, do you mean to say that the military headquarters will be moved to the Dameishan base area?" ”

"Yes, in fact, our military headquarters should have moved to Dameishan a long time ago." The second chief nodded and said, "Now that the Dameishan base area has been connected with the central and northern Jiangsu base areas, it is even more necessary to relocate, after the military headquarters moved into the Dameishan base area, it immediately took the lead in forming the Suzhou-Anhui base area, and comprehensively led the anti-Japanese armed struggle behind enemy lines in the Dabie Mountains, central Anhui region, Dameishan region, central Soviet region and northern Jiangsu region. ”

The No. 1 leader thought for a moment and said, "This is okay. ”

According to the statement of the No. 2 chief, it is actually equivalent to reorganizing the Dameishan Military Subdivision into the first subdivision of the newly established Suzhou-Anhui Military Region, and the post of commander of the No. 1 subdivision is still reserved for Xu Rui.

Moreover, from the perspective of administrative rank, the newly established Suzhou-Anhui Military Region will definitely be a large military region, and Dameishan, as the first subdivision under the Su-Anhui Military Region, is actually equivalent to a small military region, and at this time, the Dameishan Military Subdivision is just a military subdivision under the small military region in terms of administrative rank, so in a sense, Xu Rui is equivalent to being promoted.

This is also in line with the psychological expectations of the No. 1 leader, because in the eyes of the No. 1 leader, the Kuomintang and Chairman Jiang deserve it at all, and Xu Rui has not done anything wrong in this matter, who let you rob the supplies? Since you dare to rob us of our supplies, you should have the consciousness of being retaliated against, so Xu Rui is right.

Xu Rui is not only right, but also played extremely well, and deserves to be commended!

Therefore, the No. 1 leader was very satisfied with the plan proposed by the No. 2 chief.

The next No. 1 leader nodded and said, "This plan is good, so be it." ”

"Okay, then this matter is settled." The No. 2 leader nodded, and said, "However, don't make public the matter of the commander of the first division of the Suwan Military Region, otherwise Xu Rui will not be able to turn the sky upside down?"

When several leaders at the meeting heard this, they burst out laughing.
